One Fug Hill: THE NEXT RETURN PART II
And so another season of One Tree Hill comes to an end. I can barely see through my tears. You think I jest, but I actually mean it. Well, I'm not really CRYING, but this was a seriously satisfying season -- full of: near-drownings; kidnappings; people being left at the altar; people finding out they need a heart transplant and then proceeding to stalk the comatose body of the person ahead of them on the transplant list and also purchasing for themselves a giant headstone (complete with headshot!) proclaiming them to be a great husband, father and brother when in fact they were none of those things and then also arranging to have themselves buried next to very grave of the brother they murdered -- a grave they also accidentally set on fire that one time; shirtless bartenders beating up junkies; and people who were just paralyzed because they were lazy. And, of course, a rich and varied history of REALLY BAD DUDE HAIR. What am I supposed to do all summer without copious infusions of man bangs?
At least the finale took that history of crappy man 'dos and BROUGHT IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
For one thing, we opened with this:
Okay, so no one is even looking at his hair. But CMM drinking shirtless next to a dog that has its own drink is simply too awesome to ignore. And apparently once you go drinking with a Labrador retriever, you might wake up with this:
Wait, let's take another look at that:
That's right. And it's AWESOME. Thank you, One Tree Hill writers, for giving CMM a mohawk. Damn, it feels like MY BIRTHDAY. It's almost as though you crazy kids got together and brainstormed what else you could possibly do to his head, after all the years of the straw and the wind tunnel and the porn 'stache. And the only thing left was a mohawk. And for that, I thank you. May I suggest that he open next season with long, Bo-Derekian cornrows? Think of how awesome they'll look flying around when he's chewing the scenery!
And while it's tough to top a mohawk, then we have Dan, the heart-transplant-needing convicted murderer who spent most of the finale considering murdering a man of God in order to steal his organs, and who was last seen with heeeedious Pete Wentz-ian emo man-bangs. This new look is....not an improvement:
But Dan paid for his newly square head. And he paid for it IN BLOOD:
How's your hair now, dude? NOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN RUN OVER BY A CAR? Tree Hill, by the way, is one of the vehicular incident capitals of the world: Dan just got run over (right as a new heart became available, of course), Rick Fox ran over Haley a few years ago (to punish her husband for not fixing a basketball game, obviously, and therefore causing CMM to have a heart attack and go into a coma. AGAIN), and then of course three years ago one of the tertiary characters hijacked a wedding limo with his on-again, off-again underage cheerleader girlfriend and accidentally drove it off a bridge into a river, where Nathan and the ghost of his murdered Uncle Keith had to fish them out of the drink. Stay off the streets of Tree Hill!
AND AWAY FROM THE HAIR SALONS. Damn.

One Fug Hill: THE NEXT RETURN
One of the most awesome thing about One Tree Hill is its unswerving desire to try out an endless series of terrible haircuts on its male leads. They did it to Chad Michael Murray, they did it to James Lafferty, and now they've turned their Scissors of Shame on Paul Johansson, the brother-murdering, grave-immolating, grandchild-rescuing, pre-schooler-threatening, graffiti-hallucinating, former mayor turned jailbird-wackjob:
Dudes, I know he just got out of jail, and then: crashed his son's wedding, at which said son was left at the alter when the bride realized LIKE THREE WEEKS AFTER THE FACT that his second book was all about how he was secretly in love with this other girl, even though she is allegedly AN EDITOR and ought to be better at READING COMPREHENSION; found time to have a big fight with his daughter-in-law while he was actually pretty busy skulking around; and then saved his grandchild from the clutches of his other son's psychotic nanny, up-to and including choking said kidnapper out. So he's been busy. TOO BUSY, perhaps, to have time to skip over to the Tree Hill Barber Shoppe and have them give him this Panic At The Disco 'do. Poor Dan. What does he have to do to get some respect? He already killed his brother, blamed it on a trouble teenager who just happened to be in the middle of a school-shooting spree, and then set his brother's grave on fire! HE WILL CUT A BITCH.

One Fug Hill: THE RETURN
At the end of the television season last year, I took you all on a journey. A meaningful, touching, emotional journey full of fake-gayness and hair gel. A journey through Chad Michael Murray's hair choices on One Tree Hill. Well, thank god our long, dry, CMM-less summer/fall is over, because OTH is back, and dudes, the hair is WORSE THAN EVER (for the menfolk. The girls actually look kind of great). And, yet, the show is so good/bad. People are fake-paralyzed! Daphne Zuniga is there, and she is a full-on, Dr. Kimberly Shaw-style mega bitch, because she can be! And there were Important Statements about how Anorexia Is an Illness, Not a Style Choice! And there's a cute kid in a cape! And sexual harassment of the weakest of sauces! And Sophia Bush's character not only runs an incredibly successful fashion line, SHE HAS HER OWN MAGAZINE! At 22! But, like the character in the Britney Spears' song "Lucky," she cries, cries, cries in her lonely heart, because if there is nothing missing in her life, why doooo the tears come at night? (Apparently, it is because success is hollow without love, or something.) Oh, it's so bad/fantastic. And, speaking of Britney, K-Fed is going to guest star in a couple of weeks! Like things could not get better.
One thing that could get better, though, would be the grammatical construction of Sophia Bush's clothing line's name:
For serious? I get that TECHNICALLY her clothing line COULD be called "Clothes Over Brothers," and TECHNICALLY "bro's" is a contraction thereof, but that's a lie. It's apostrophe misuse and I object.
You know what else I object to?
And now for the side view (as if this were a mug shot, which in many ways it is, for this hair is criminal):
That is some bad f'ing hair on James Lafferty. Sure, his character is suddenly a faux-paralyzed rageaholic drunk (he can walk, he just kinda doesn't want to, because he's so BUMMED about stuff), but is that any reason to make him look like the truly unholy combination of Christ on a bender and Charles Manson? Or is this terrible downturn (complete with patchy, ill-seeded facial hair) the result of a mid-hiatus memo from CMM along the lines of, "Dear Producers, I am tired of having the worst hair on this show and I won't stand for it any longer! F WITH SOMEONE ELSE OR I TAKE MY CHILD BRIDE AND I WALK!"?
I guess he didn't walk, as his rage was soothed by:
A shirt that reads, "MR LOVERMAN." (A) I'm so sure, and (B) I'm glad to see you're working The Seacrest hair this season, Chad. PS: Why are you so sweaty? Is this perspiration problem the harbinger of yet another secret, tragic disease that your character will endure, leading eventually to yet another coma (your character's THIRD) in which People From the Beyond Teach You Things? I hope so. Ah, but for all my blathering about your hair and wardrobe, you said it best yourself, in your attempt to write a follow-up to your successful debut novel:

One Tree Fug
It was while I was catching up with the shenanigans on One Tree Hill -- my not-at-all-secret-shame -- that Heather informed me we had reached our 2,000th post. If I were a character on One Tree Hill, of course, I would celebrate this milestone by: accidentally setting a grave on fire, impregnating 2-4 woman at a wedding; driving a limo off a bridge; framing a suicidal teen for murder; or beating the bejeesus of out of the already dead body of Rick Fox (sorry, Rick). Instead, on this most momentous occasion, and to mark the end of teen soap season (Hidden Palms doesn't really count -- sorry, Kevin Williamson), I present to you the one thing that brings relief to me during this long summer without secret affairs with fake virgins, parents with substance abuse problems, or sociopaths posing as long-lost family members: photographic proof of how very much better off we all are when we don't have to look at Chad Michael Murray's hair, if we can help it.
It is important to remember how Chad Michael Murry began:
Yes, that IS Lindsay Lohan. Remember when she and Hilary Duff were feuding over CMM, right after they feuded about Aaron Carter? As far as Lindsay goes, that behavior was a total harbinger of things to come. But Chad -- Serial Monogamist and, from what we hear, semi-professional douchewad -- at least had the good sense to get away from La Lohan and get a haircut.
Nowadays, CMM looks decent at most events, but on-screen, oh, it is brutal. I would theorize that the show's stylists sided with Sophia Bush after she had to annul their marriage in wake of his allegedly cheating on her with Paris Hilton, but he's looked a mess since the get-go.
"Oh, I dunno. I guess I just put a shitload of gel in it and then blow-dry it straight back, for like twenty minutes? Sometimes I just go outside and look for a wind tunnel to stand in. How do you do yours?"
Please don't let her notice that I used a Weed-Wacker to trim my hair. Please don't let her notice I used a Weed-Wacker to trim my hair. Please don't let her notice I used a Weed-Wacker to trim my hair. Shit, did I forget to look sensitive there for a sec? Back to work.
"So then I decided I might as well grow it back out, you know? But I think it kind of looks like hay. I mean, literally. Actual hay, sticking of my head. Like when the Scarecrow takes off his hat. Do you think I'm overreacting? What...? Oh, no, I was thinking about growing a goatee. No?"
"Yeah, I started shaving the goatee, and the next thing I knew, I just took it all off. I don't know how that happened. I can't get it out of my head, man. Every time I close my eyes, I just see myself with my head half hair, half bald. It's...terrifying."
What is that smell? Damn, I KNEW this 'stache was a bad idea. AND I almost opened a vein last night putting in my Dippity Do. Why didn't I stick with the shaved head? Why? God, I'm so troubled. At least this is going to make an amazing scene in the book I'm writing. I think I'm going to call it The Unkindness of Ravens and then read all the segments I wrote about my friends -- without changing their names -- to them at our graduation party. Is that self-involved? Oh, who cares? Why am I in a hotel room? Or is this a prison? Where's my notebook?
I can't believe Tyler Hilton can be so happy when he knows we can never truly be together. I'm incredibly tortured. But between you and me, if I'd known that getting my hair to do this Dylan McKay thing was going to get me some spooning, I would have done it years ago.
And as for me, I have a confession. I don't feel better about the end of Teen Soap Season at all. I feel worse. I'll be missing fake-gay spooning and wind-tunnel head and mysterious facial hair! Now I'm depressed. At least there's always SoapNet.

Rampage School Shootings: Reframing the Discourse
The most recent rampage school shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary (SHE) in Newtown, Connecticut, that claimed the lives of twenty kindergarteners and six school staffers at the hands of another young white male, took the US and the world by a storm. As messages of sympathy poured down from world leaders and interfaith vigils were held in solidarity with the victims and their families, people in their shock and disbelief tried hard to make sense of this unthinkable act of violence against these innocent children. But no sooner had the news about the sixth mass shooting this year and the second-deadliest school mass murder in the history of the country broke out than the mainstream media pundits as well as some progressive commentators began recycling some ready-made framing narratives that have been repeated ad nauseam in the mainstream news coverage of similar incidents in the past. These narratives, however, ideologically mystify the root causes of the problem and foreclose the possibility of reimagining an adequate political solution to it.
Central to these narratives is the understanding of school mass murders as subjective, or individual, forms of violence that can be more appropriately explained in terms of the individual and cultural conflicts that are presumed to beset a pluralistic society such as the United States. Hence, the media coverage of these events tends to frame these mass murders within a psychobiographical model that profiles the perpetrators as simply alienated loners or misfits. This has recently taken the form of a mental health narrative that portrays them as insane, disturbed individuals, or victims of the failures of the public health system to offer adequate resources to treat them. In the case of Adam Lanza, the mass murderer in the SHE tragedy, he was described as a "deeply disturbed" and "mentally ill" kid," who was subject to outbursts and who suffered from Asperger's syndrome, even though Asperger is a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a mental illness.
This psychobiographical model is also embedded within a cultural narrative that interprets these school mass murders in the context of the ubiquitous glamorization of violence in American society. These critics like to point out the pathological obsession with graphic narratives of violence and gore, especially in videogames, as a method to solve personal conflicts. Adam Lanza, it appears, was obsessed with violent video games such as Counter Strike, in which he "would use a military-style assault rifle and a Glock handgun in games with other students." Such a cultural narrative is valorized over an account that traces the ubiquity of violence in this country back to its irrational anti-Enlightenment foundations that were built on genocide, slavery, and exclusion (from property rights, constitutional privilege, etc.).
This culturalization of violence is also evident in liberal discourses that situate these subjective acts of violence within the crisis of dominant heteronormative structures of white supremacy in the US. The main concern of these liberal critics is white men's "aggrieved entitlement" and the ways in which the media relentlessly tries to cover up and normalize the white masculine identity of the mass majority of the perpetrators. Even when photographs of the perpetrator are on display, these critics contend, a deliberate effort is made not to turn either the perpetrator's racial identity or gender into an issue. In addition, critics maintain, the media uses the passive voice to normalize young white male violence. This omission, they argue, has grave consequences for understanding the root causes of the violence and for imagining workable policy solutions and intervention strategies that can help prevent and put an end to this pandemic.
Moreover, liberal critics unravel how this omission and normalization of white male violence invokes unconscious national mythologies (deeply held beliefs) that connect such acts with stereotypically racialized images of crime, ethnic pathology, and social deviancy. This culturalization of violence, with its obsession with identity politics, takes also the form of deconstructing the power of white privilege through a minoritarian frame that reimagines the implications of these shootings, should the perpetrators have been identified as an Other, be it (pathologically criminal) racial Other (Black or Latino) or the (pathologically terrorist) religious Other (Muslim).
Again and again, the focus is on the politics of recognition and representation (who speaks for whom, and the power of white privilege in absolving the white perpetrators from speaking for or on behalf of their racial communities) in a way that forecloses the political significance and implication of these acts for envisioning a radical solution to the problem. Albeit some attribute redemptive value to these acts as rituals or ceremonies of violence that offer the perpetrators resources for reformulating their identities and the social values that could perhaps (posthumously) suture these increasingly fragmented and split communities (which are supposed to be organically whole).
All this media talk about identity politics within the psychobiographical and cultural narratives, therefore, obscures the root causes of rampage school shootings. Media coverage, that is, completely disassociates these tragic events from the contradictions of the political and economic structures of power and domination namely, the national security state and the neoliberal capitalist system that drives it. These power structures constitute the objective or structural forms of violence that have engendered school mass murders in the first place and in which they are embedded.
To understand these forms of objective violence in the case of school mass murders, one must account for the qualitative change of the context, the schools themselves, in which these acts occur. It must be noted that mainstream media coverage of these acts of violence approaches the problem of rampage school shootings within an exclusively American cultural discourse that represents schools as sacred sites where safety and personal security are guaranteed, since any use of violence is thought to be inappropriate on school premises. Hence, media pundits claim that such shootings are rare, citing various variables as evidence of their unique and distinct form of violence in a widely violent culture. At stake here is an aspirational discourse that holds American schools up to some ideal of what we think education should be at the expense of actual student experiences in the system.
As any review of the sociological literature on this sub-genre of mass murder can tell, nonetheless, that this type of subjective violence has occurred throughout the history of formal education in the country. Indeed, the mass school shooting at SHE is the twelfth of its kind in the last thirty years of US history and also the sixth mass murder in the country this year alone. One must also remember that these rampage school shootings have become increasingly popular since the 1990s especially, after the end of the Cold War and the intensification of neoliberal capitalist policies, including the push for privatization of the welfare state.
Consequently, the biopolitical forms of power, coercion, and violence underpinning the neoliberal security state and global capitalist system have turned schools for many students across the socio-economic spectrum, but especially for students from colonized, non-immigrant communities in the US, into sites of violation, humiliation, persecution, reification, and alienation. Hence, a link must be drawn between the alienation and reification that students experience in contemporary schools and the ways in which schools have become sites that replicate the structures of violence, including state-sponsored terrorism, colonial oppression, and economic exploitation that underlie the power of the security state and the global capitalist economy.
As various sociologists have pointed out, schools have been ideologically redesigned around principles of "economic instrumentalism" and "specialization" that train students to maximize their productivity in the service of capitalist interests. Moreover, schools have encoded and reenacted the repressive practices of the security state through the implementation of various surveillance technologies, metal detectors, and the presence of probation officers as well as security guards, turning schools in effect into semi-penitentiaries. It should not come as a surprise, then, to hear various lawmakers rehash the talking points of the NRA that call for appropriating funds for beefing up security measures, arming teachers on school premises, and for creating a school protection program, the National School Shield Program. These militaristic solutions can only reinforce the normalization and naturalization of the repressive power of the structural forms of violence, neoliberal security state and the global market economy, within which schools are embedded.
These objective forms of violence, nonetheless, remain largely invisible in public discourse. And on the rare occasion when they are alluded to, they are justified in the name of national security, the global war on terror, developmentalism, and modernization. In their daily interactions with the system, however, students can identify the coercive nature of the schools, and might (un)consciously make the connection between these forms of violence and the larger structure of objective violence that permeates their lives inside and outside schools. It is no wonder, then, that schools in the minds of these mass murderers are not much different from any other public or private site where spectacles of violence can be reenacted. To this extent, schools constitute a proper site for the expression of violence, which had always already been inscribed within its classrooms and halls.
But the proper way to understand the connections between rampage school shootings and these objective forms of violence is to reframe them within an internationalist perspective that seeks not only to establish a clear link between subjective and objective forms of violence, shifting the debate thus from culture to politics, but also to consider meaningfully the politics of redistribution and socialist justice within an alternative economic order. At stake here is the need to outline the ways in which these school mass shootings and other homologous and non-homologous forms of violence around the world are interconnected within the same global structures of power and domination. In light of the shrinking, finite resources in this world, the privilege of some is necessarily based on the exclusion and disposability of others. This has tremendous implications for understanding the destruction of life, in general, and the lives of the disenfranchised and subjugated masses, in particular, under conditions of structural violence mobilized by the security state and global capitalism around the world.
More specifically, the killing of innocent children anywhere in the world deserves to be the site of political mobilization, not only intense national debate, regarding US national security and the war on terror as an alibi for the intensification of global capitalist exploitation, neoliberal economics, and colonial oppression in the world. It is a shame that we have to be bombarded by an endless stream of images of the recent school mass murders in Newtown, Connecticut, as tragic as they were, but hear almost nothing about the senseless death of over 160 Pakistani children by American drones or have the news of the murder of Palestinian children in Gaza by the Israeli army erased from public discourse and collective memory.
Talking about human loss in Newtown cannot make sense unless we recognize and seek to end human loss everywhere else. The humanity of the Other should not be questioned the way it is done, explicitly or implicitly, directly or indirectly; how else can we explain the dehumanization tropes that depict the victims of the indiscriminate drone extermination program as "bug splats" and wild grass to be mown? To see Obama shed those tears for the victims in SHE can send chills down one's spine. Only then can we appreciate the perverse obscenity of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's condolence letter to President Obama, in which he engaged in his typical shameless falsification stating, "We in Israel have experienced such cruel acts of slaughter and we know the shock and agony they bring." Over and over again, anti-Palestinian Zionist propaganda blames the victims and inverts the realities of the geopolitical context in which the imbalance of power that favors Israel's military supremacy is always obscured by the elevation of Israel to the status of pre-ontological victimization. The chutzpa!!!
It is the irony of our times that the system's dehumanized Others, those subjugated masses in the age of the American empire and global capitalism, would be the ones to carry the torch on this issue. In the eloquent texts they produce, they teach us the true meaning of sympathy with the victims of colonial aggression and global capitalist exploitation in the global South and call on to us to take full responsibility for all the material and institutional privileges we take for granted, without ever questioning how these privileges have been systematically consolidated by the collaborative interventions of the neoliberal security state with global capitalism by depriving them from others around the world. It is from this sense of mutual responsibility for decolonization that a truly internationalist perspective should be developed for envisioning more effective political strategies that will allow us to think Other/wise, resist nationally-sanctioned forms of ignorance, and articulate the social bases of long-lasting solidarities that find their most transformative expression within a universal history of the struggle for liberation and emancipation.

Earth Hour Is Nice Gesture, but Does Little
March 28, 2011
If everyone in the world participated in this year's Earth Hour, the result would be the same as turning off China's carbon emissions for roughly 45 seconds, says Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center at Copenhagen Business School.
- When we switch off the electricity, many of us turn to candlelight.
- This seems natural and environmentally friendly, but unfortunately, candles are almost 100 times less efficient than incandescent light bulbs, and more than 300 times less efficient than fluorescent lights.
- Using one candle for each extinguished bulb cancels the carbon dioxide reduction; two candles emit more carbon dioxide.
In a bid to cut carbon emissions, the environmental movement has pushed for "green" alternative energy to be used around the world. Many countries now provide financial support to solar panels and wind turbines. It's easy to feel as if we're helping the planet if we have a government-funded solar panel on the roof, or fill our car with fuel from a tank adorned with green slogans -- but the reality is that we're doing no such thing, says Lomborg.
It is time to look to a smarter solution to global warming that would do more than just make us feel good about ourselves. Reducing carbon emissions is a lot more difficult than dimming the lights for an hour.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Soil salinization constitutes a major cause for reduced crop yield and degraded groundwater quality in irrigated lands of arid and semi-arid regions. The objectives of this study were to identify factors which strongly influence salinity development in the rootzone of soil in the Broadview Water District (~6000 acre) of the central valley of California and to develop a statistical model known as a logistic regression model based on these salinity development factors. The logistic regression model was incorporated into geographic information system (GIS) technology to create a practical, management-oriented model that visually displayed maps of high soil salinity for irrigated lands. The main findings of this study included:(1) Soil saturation percentage and irrigation amount are the two most important factors in soil salinity development in the Broadview Water District. (2) Logistic regression is a viable means of modeling salinity development on a site-specific basis when categorizing into salt-affected and unaffected soil.(3) Neighborhood effects are significant for the prediction of soil salinity in the top 1.2m of soil.(4) Agricultural management has a strong influence on the prediction of soil salinity in the top 0.6m of soil.
Technical Abstract: Salinity poses a potential agricultural and environmental threat to soil and water resources by reducing crop yields and degrading groundwater quality. The identification of potentially high areas of salinization within the rootzone of irrigated lands is a useful tool for mitgating the deleterious effects of salinity before they manifest themselves. A geographic information system, ARC/INFO, and a statistical software package, STATA, were used to develop a spatially-referenced, logistic regression model which identified areas of high soil salinity on a field scale. The study area was 2,395 hectares of the Broadview Water District in the San Joaquin Valley of central California. The significant variables in estimating soil salinity development were identified. The following results were found: (1) soil saturation percentage and irrigation amount were the two most important factors in soil salinity development in the Broadview Water District, (2) neighborhood effects were significant for the prediction of soil salinity in the top 1.2 m of soil, and (3) agricultural management had a stronger influence in the prediction of soil salinity in the top 0.6 m of soil than in the top 1.2 m of soil.

text: A rally in Apple ( AAPL) shares helped the company recover some market value it had lost during a multiday selloff in tech stocks that exposed the volatility of tech's highfliers. Apple shares were recently trading up $15.22, nearly 10%, to $168.98. Shares are still well below their 52-week high of $191.79 reached last Tuesday before losing 20% of their value in the next four trading sessions. Apple led a tech rally that included other tech stocks such as Google ( GOOG), VMware ( VMW) and Research In Motion ( RIMM), whose shares also suffered steep losses after the rout in tech stocks that started last week. Buyers may be stepping into the market to pick up shares that look more attractively priced. At their 52-week high, Apple shares, for example, were trading at over 38 times analysts' consensus estimate of the company's 2008 earnings per share, according to Thomson Financial. At the current share price, that ratio has fallen to the low 30s. "Apple is going to be a battleground, and day-to-day swings can be vicious," said Darren Chervitz, research director for the $102 million Jacob Internet Fund. The fund has currently holds 16,000 Apple shares, down from 40,000 in May. Part of the Jacob fund's decision to sell Apple shares stems from portfolio management. As the value of Apple shares surged, the fund has sold some shares to lock in profits and reduce its concentration in a single stock.

Hayden Filter Holder Retainer Plate
AS OF DECEMBER 2015 we are out of the Replacement Retainer for Hayden Cartridge Filters. The Manufacturer has ceased production of Hayden parts. The clip swivels and holds the filter in place, but unfortunately can break. There is not another solution to hold the filter in place while sealing it. If you are considering replacing the entire unit give us or one of our independent local dealers a call for a complete replacement unit at a great price. We highly recommend the Air Master Central Vacuum, since the Hayden is no longer produced.

GP threat throttled
Page Tools
Melbourne will host the Grand Prix for at least another five years, its chairman Ron Walker said after meeting formula one rights owner Bernie Ecclestone in London yesterday.
There were fears for the race's future in Melbourne after Minardi boss Paul Stoddart took successful court action against a ruling banning his cars from competing in last weekend's GP.
The court move angered the FIA, the sport's ruling body, and it threatened to strip the race from Melbourne.
"The Grand Prix is definitely in Australia and... there's a five-year option so we'll be in wheelchairs by the time it's finished, I can assure you," Mr Walker told Channel Nine.

Why do you have a call to SetDirectory here? There should be no need for it. And having a package change the current working directory when it is loaded is an excellent way to cause problems later when the package is being used.

That is telling you Mathematica cannot find the file METHODECN.m. Where did you save that file? In the spaceMaths directory? If not, that is the problem.
Note, the usual procedure for packages is to put them in one of the directories returned when
is evaluated. If that is done, there will be no need to set the working directory to the directory containing the package. It can be loaded with the following syntax
>and this ouptput: psiplusCN[1] psimoinsCN[1, 0.8]
And you get this result since Mathematica did not load your package.

What calibers can I hand load/reload with Hodgdon Superformance powder?
Hornady started loading the Superformance line of ammunition in 2010. Hodgdon followed up with the introduction of a Superformance powder available for hand loaders. It is important to note that the one Superformance powder that Hodgdon sells is not useable in ALL rifle calibers. Like all other powders, it has one particular burn rate and will work great in some cases, ok in others and should not be used the rest. A hand loader wouldn't think of using Varget or Retumbo in all their calibers from 17 Hornet to 375 H&H, neither should they think of Superformance in that way.
Hornady uses commercial grade Superformance powders of varying burn rates and also blends powders to offer a full line of Superformance cartridges. The Superformance powder that Hodgdon sells is one particular burn rate that does well in some short magnum cartridges along with some others that are listed in their load data and also in the latest editions of the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading.
Why is the rifle bullet feeder not compatible with the pistol bullet feeder?
There are five main reasons:
1.) The pistol bullet feeder is equipped with a 120 volt electrical system (power supply, motor, electrical connector). The rifle bullet feeder has a 12 volt electrical system to eliminate the potential for electrical shocks from a high voltage 120 volt system.
2.) The rifle bullet feeder has a shut-off switch to prevent over-feeding. The pistol bullet feeder does not have the wiring attachments to support this shut-off switch.
3.) The square tube that supports the pistol bullet feeder hopper is a fixed height. The rifle bullet feeder requires a taller and adjustable support tube to allow a wide range of cartridge and bullet lengths to be loaded. This would not be possible with the fixed height bracket.
4.) The hole in the hopper that the feed spring is fed through was moved to ensure reliable feeding of lightweight bullets.
NOTE: The feed angle was too shallow to reliably feed 40 grain VMAX bullets.
5.) The feed plate, feed springs, and feeder die are also different for the rifle system. Therefore, only about 1/3 of the parts in the 22 caliber rifle bullet feeder system are the same as the pistol bullet feeder. Most of these identical parts are hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, springs, gears, etc.) or other parts that are not practical to switch back and forth.
How do I adjust trickle speed on a Lock-N-Load® Auto Charge with a serial number of 2840 or above to prevent overthrows?
**To verify the serial number of your machine, simply turn it over and it is clearly stamped on the silver sticker.
Re-program the trickle speed to a slower speed.
1.) Turn unit on and let it stabilize.
2.) Press and hold CAL button for 6 seconds. The screen will display "SET".
3.) Press the SPEED button to increase the speed.
4.) Normal factory setting is between 0.4 and 0.8.
5.) Press the UNITS button to decrease the trickle speed.
6.) After reaching the new trickle speed, press and hold BACK/CANCEL to store trickle speed and return to normal operation.
NOTE: Do not decrease the inner value lower than 0.1, or increase it more than 25.5.
NOTE: The new Trickle Speed is permanently stored even if the Auto Charge is turned off.
Often, slowing down to .3 or .4 grains is sufficient to dial the machine in.
To adjust the trickle start time:
Scale must be zeroed out with no target displayed. Additionally, if the scale is shut off or BACK/CANCEL is used, this number will need to be reset.
To increase the trickle time by adjusting the point when the unit goes from quick dispense to trickle:
1) Turn unit on and let it stabilize
2) Hold MODE button for 2 seconds
3) The screen will display "0.2" to indicate the trickel will begin trickling approximately 0.2 grains before the target weight
4) Repeat Step 2 until desired start time is reached
Standard trickle start time settings range from .2 to 1.6 depending on powder density
How do I adjust the trickle speed on the Lock-N-Load® Auto Charge with a serial number below 2840 to prevent overthrows?
**To verify the serial number of your machine, simply turn it over and it is clearly stamped on the silver sticker.
Re-program the trickle speed to a slower speed.
1.) Turn unit on and let it stabilize.
2.) Press the "0" button (unit should beep once)
3.) Press the CAL button once.
4.) A number between 0.0 and 25.5 will appear
5.) Press CAL button repeatedly until a number between 0.5 and 1.0 appears. The normal trickle speed is 0.6.
NOTE: pressing CAL will increase the number in 0.1 increments until it reaches 25.5. However, if you continue to press CAL the number will cycle back to 0.1. This is usually the fastest way to reset the trickle speed.
NOTE: Pressing UNIT will decrease the number in 0.1 increments.
6.) After reaching the new trickle speed, press BACK/CANCEL to store trickle speed and return to normal operation.
NOTE: The new trickle speed should be permanently stored even if the Auto Charge is turned off.
What primer is used in 500 S&W cases?
Hornady's orignal cases for the 500 S&W were made with Large Pistol Primer pockets. New cases, which are marked "LR" will be made with a Large Rifle Primer Pocket.
What is the Lock-N-Load® AP EZ-JECT Conversion Kit?
The Lock-N-Load® AP EZ-JECT conversion kit allows you to convert your LNL AP press (with serial number 7000 or higher) to use the EZ-JECT system. This system ejects cases without the need of an ejection wire and is standard on 2009 model presses.
My powder charges vary when I drop them. What can I do to make them uniform?
Static can cause charges to vary. Take a dryer sheet and rub it vigorously on the ouside of the powder tube. This will discharge the static and make the charges uniform.
Where can I get a metallic instruction manual?
You can obtain a metallic instruction manual by visiting the Metallic Reloading User Manual page. If the manual you need is not available, please call customer service at 1-800-338-3220.
The expander on my size die will not come out of the case, what can I do?
You can use black graphite from your hardware store as a neck lube. Just dip the neck in it after you lube the outside of the case. The powder already has graphite in it, so it will not contaminate the powder.
Where can I get a shotshell instruction manual?
You can obtain a metallic instruction manual by visiting the Shotshell Reloading User Manual page. If the manual you need is not available, please call customer service at 1-800-338-3220.
How do I adjust my 366 Auto shot shell press to load the new Winchester AA hulls?
Re-adjust station 7 up to get the pressure off the case. It will usually need to be raised two complete turns. The manual calls for 7 to 9 threads above the jam nut. We find that around 10 to 11 turns will work for the new AA cases. After the adjustment you may have a small hole in the center. This can be corrected by adjusting station 6 down.
Will my current shell plates work with the new EZ-JECT system?
No, they will have to be modified. Hornady will convert your existing shell plate for $10 per plate. Please call our sales department at 800-338-3220 to arrange authorization for sending in shell plates for conversion.
Do I need to convert my Lock-N-Load® AP press?
No, this new ejection system is not a required conversion. If you purchase new style shell plates they will work with both the wire eject and EZ-JECT systems.
095207 Conversion Instructions
Beside the press, what do I need to get started reloading?
Besides purchasing a reloading press, you will need the following items.
- Reloading Handbook #99239
- Lock-N-Load® Die Bushings (1 for each die)
- One Shot® Spray Case Lube 5.5 Oz w/Dyna Glide Plus #9991
- Powder Funnel #586050
- Universal Loading Block #480040
- GS-1500 Grain Electronic Scale #050107
- Primer Turning Plate #050006
- Dial Caliper #050075
- Dieset (1 for each caliber)
- Shell Plate (1 for each caliber)
- Standard Lock-N-Load® Metering Insert (1 for each caliber) #050120
- Standard Lock-N-Load® Pistol Metering Insert (1 for each caliber) #050116
- Primer Cleaner Large #390753
- Primer Cleaner Small #390752
- Chamfer Deburr Tool #050017
- Accessory Handle Universal #190260
What can I do if I need a modified case?
Please include contact information, two fired pieces of brass (not deprimed or resized in case there are issues creating the modified case) as well as a check or money order for $15.00 for customers inside the USA. Please make checks payable to Hornady Manufacturing. We ask that you please use Fedex, UPS or other direct shipping service. Using USPS may result in item returned to customer.
Hornady Mailing Address:
108 S Apollo Street
Alda, NE 68810
*Please note we can only accommodate requests for those customers inside the USA, due to licensing regulations for cartridge cases.
How do I know what to buy for my reloading needs?
View this Hornady® caliber reference chart to determine the size and type of reloading essentials you need.
I'm not getting enough taper crimp with my die
Please follow these simple steps:
1.) Loosen the seater adjusment screw (very top knurled piece) about 3 times.
2.) Loosen the lock ring on the crimp adjustment screw (middle) and back it out about 3 turns.
3.) Know you can tighten the crimp adjustment screw down until you have the correct crimp.
4.) After you have made the adjustment for the crimp you can now lock the lock ring and reset your bullet seater adjustment screw to the correct seating depth.
Is the PTX stop necessary for 223 Rem of 308 Win (bottleneck cartridges?)
No, it is only recommended when a powder through expander is going to be used on straight-walled cartridges.
If I don't plan on using a powder through expander, do I still need the measure stop?
No. If you are using the expander die that came with your die set for case expansion, you will use one of the sleeves in the Case Activated Powder drop rather than a powder through expander. The measure stop is not necessary if you are using one of these sleeves.
My Case Activated Powder Drop uses 4" return spring that is oriented diagonally. How will the measure stop work on my set up?
The measure stop and powder through expanders are only compatible with the Case Activated Powder Drop that we currently offer with the vertical return spring. Unfortunately, these are not compatible with the earlier CAPD's that utilized the diagonal return spring.
I'm loading range brass, after set up I see some cases that are not adequately expanded. What is causing this?
Case length uniformity is critical. If you set everything up with a case at the longer end of spec and then run some cases that are considerably shorter, these cases will not be expanded to the same degree the longer casing was. For best results, sort cases by headstamp and ensure cases are uniform in length.
I need to order replacement parts for my press (or dies). How do I do that?
Please give us a call at 1-800-338-3220 to place an order.
What do I do if I have a stuck case in a sizing die?
Please include a $5.00 check for the return postage, made out to Hornady Manufacturing. We can only accommodate requests for customers inside the USA due to licensing regulations for cartridge cases.

1-'He could not understand what was attacking him from inside'',2-then, she would smile to show me how and it was the saddest smile I ever saw,3- he threw them to the cat there on the kitchen floor and we watched as my mother smiled.
Father, mother and children, all were all confined to such painful situation like fish in the jar from which they could not escape.Only death could liberate them. (Report) Reply

..........this poem paints a dark picture of the family life....so sad to be with someone, whom one isn't happy with....and must fake it....or doesn't have enough self esteem, or resources to make a permanent change for the better....I've read of many women who stay with men, even though they are beaten black and blue....so sad ★ (Report) Reply

Absolutely sad, but beautiful, poem. The sadness of the mother mixed with the permanent care with the child... Certainly she wished to be free as the goldfish at the end... (Report) Reply

The Swine Flu Vaccine is part of the NWO's Depopulation Plan
Poster Handle
Post Content
Um No.
First let me say you are a moron. You are no prophet, and you have no real idea of how viruses work, mutate naturally and become novel, jump species, or do anything. This H1N1 although the first of its kind we have ever seen, having abilities we haven't yet seen in a virus, falls well within the natural predicted patterns that influenza viruses are genetically able to reach. Naturally.
Further, there are far, far easier ways (And far less expensive, and less likely to be uncovered) to depopulate the population. Vaccinations as a vector to spread illness is just not a viable option now days. Perhaps back a few decades ago. Um No, not an airborne contagious virus like Influenza. Today we know how to utilize viruses to do our bidding. We also have a whole bunch of nifty viruses that we can modify slightly retaining their contagious abilities (Airborne capabilities) while making them far, far more nasty than they were.
IF the NWO folk were seeking to make a dent in the numbers all they would do would be introduce this new A Type H1N1 to existing strains of Avian Flu. We already know HOW to do it without having to pull out gene splicers and the tools of genetic engineering. All we have to do is put the two strains in a common host and let good old Mother Nature do her thing.
See scientists are really, really worried about places like China and Egypt where the Avian flu has been jumping species into humans. They are worried because if a patient who have the H1H1 influenza Virus also contracts the Avian Flu the probability is very high that the two strains will combine becoming what is quaintly called the "Armageddon Flu". Imagine all of the high contagious factors of the H1N1 and all the mortality of the Avian Flu (64% death rate). That means potentially 30% (or more) of the population infected with 64% of the infected kicking 'ye old bucket'.
No need for expensive, prolonged, out in the open, easy to catch on to 'TPTB up to No Good' vaccination program, just take a handful of people (10 is all you need), inoculate them with the live Armageddon Flu virus and send them on a long vacation where they have to take several flights to reach their destination - best if they have long longish layovers at such places as O'Hara international Airport, Heathrow, Narita and a few others. Large, international air travel hubs would be the primary target for our 10 prime patients to travel through, with a decent 3-6 hour layover at the hub.
Just 10 people loaded with live virus will be contagious within 36 hours of being inoculated, and will be spreading the virus for a week before presenting symptoms. That means not only are they spreading it on the planes, they are spreading it while hanging out at the airport, while riding in the taxi, while checking in their hotel room, while touring the sights of where ever you sent them on vacation.
Of course the travel package would naturally include tours of museums, historic landmarks, bus tours with their shopping stops along the way.
10 people would infect millions in a week on a well planned vacation itinerary. They would leave behind live virus in every bus and taxi they took, infecting the next passengers. They would infect school children at the museum, would infect other travelers.
By the time these initial patients started to present symptoms, all of the people they bumped into would be walking around spreading the virus, many of which they bumped into at those airports they were in would have moved on to other airports, gone home, or reached their business or pleasure destination and would, 36 hours after contraction be merrily spreading the virus without a single symptom for a week.
Cheap, Easy to do, and frankly there is no way to actually tell if these people were given a deadly flu or picked it up in their travels, especially if you happen to send them to one of the nations where Avian Flu is currently present.
Your way leaves way too many open ends that would let a lot of people find ways to poke fingers.
My way closes those ends, making it astronomically difficult to blame any organization.
Your way costs billions of dollars, requires so much media attention to get people scared enough to get the vaccination.
My way requires a bit of time and patience, plus "rewarded" 10 people with all expenses paid trips to carry the new strain of virus into the world. We are talking $50,000 tops.
Further, you have the AIDS/HIV thing all wrong. Of course you 'heard' otherwise I'm sure.
Lastly, no "mark of the Beast" is in the vaccination.
If you understood that bible you were quoting (poorly). You would understand that acceptance of the Mark of the Beast is crucial. And no one in those days will have any doubt of what it is they are accepting. They will be presented with a choice. Accept the Mark and the Beast, or Deny the Mark and Accept Christ and Salvation - with a little bit of losing their head temporarily for 'refusing' the beast.

Carolina Herrera Resort 2014
"Prints, that's what this collection is all about, prints," said Carolina Herrera as a preface to her 2014 resort presentation. "And seasonless," she added, "because there are no real seasons for clothes anymore; in summer somewhere it's winter, or in winter somewhere it's summer. It's important everything can be worn all year round." Out of this straightforward inspiration and rather sensible directive Herrera spun a deliciously pretty and elegant collection which played to her strengths as a source of impeccable dress-up clothes (but more on that later). Her resort was delightful in its deployment of pattern, with flowers conjured up out of her imagination and not as nature intended them, scaled upward and downward with wild abandon over everything from palazzo pants (they're back! It's certainly been a long time since I typed those words) to evening dresses whose skirts, cut in square panels of floral tissue organza, trailed dramatically like the wake of a ship cutting through water.
Her resort also conspired to advance what might think of typical Herrera-isms re embellishment, with a drop-dead gorgeous black silk sinuous long skirt and matching blouse whose organza sleeves were worked with a rubberized—yes, really—ivory appliqué embroidery, while the shoes were rendered in a mix of leather and clear plastic, an idea that has been quickly gaining traction this resort season. And there was an effortless quality to the clothes, from the notion that many things that looked like dresses were actually two pieces and could be separated, to their weight, which as Herrera promised, was lightness itself. Even her tweedy suits and sheath dresses had an airy quality to them, as evinced by that time-honored method of empirical research on any showroom visit—a quick lift off the rack and twirled around the hangar to gauge their heft. All of this would be appealing to pretty much anyone, but perhaps particularly to Herrera's new die-hard fans in Singapore. She recently took a trip there and was blown away to see so many of her women in the grandest evening looks worn during sunlit hours. Clearly, any time of day is as much a consideration for some as any time of year.

These two stories go hand in hand, as they emphasize what your Realtor® may have not emphasized enough. This past weekend I had the pleasure of experience both incidents.
After my listing presentation with some clients, we decided to view some homes in the are they were interested in moving up to. We viewed 4 homes, and the last wasn't on our list, but we were nearby and followed the signs. After viewing the home, where the agent or owner requested that shoes be removed, as we were putting our shoes on, we heard some shouting and jostling.
A very shady character came in and after being told to remove his shoes, he had said he was just looking for his binder which he left earlier. Needless to say, he somehow grabbed the owner's laptop and proceeded to make a run for it, pushing people out of the way (over 10 people were viewing the home). My client valiantly tried to trip him, but he continued and made his getaway with plenty of witness who had very detailed descriptions of the culprit, his car, and his female accomplice.
Needless to say, this further drove home the warning that we as Realtors® discuss with our clients prior to listing a home. I've experienced nosy 'buyers' attempting to go through seller's drawers and personal belongings, and during open houses it is impossible for us to be everywhere, although I have been called Superwoman before :)
If you are selling your home, please be diligent, as this is sometimes the perfect scenario for a thief.
The second incident also drives home the 'don't leave that out there' point. I enlisted the services of an agent to host my open house while I worked with other clients, and received a call from one of my 'spies' that the home was vacant-no Realtor®! I arrived shortly after and he was still hiding. 10 minutes later Mr. Invisible shows up saying he's been moving his signs.
Needless to say, I immediately fired the unprofessional host and hosted fo the next 1 1/2 hours. After over 8 years experience, this is a first, and it's emphasized how even as Realtors®, we need to be more diligent interviewers for our clients. Fortunately my clients had taken the necessary precautions.
I'm not an alarmist, and don't subscribe to paranoia, but taking precautions and exercising your due diligence will help prevent the loss of your valuables.

Eight Harvard Poets/On a Street Corner
From Wikisource
BUT all the time you spoke I did not hear
The words you said. I only heard a far
Faint sound of summer waters and a clear
Calling of music from some lonely star.
I thought I heard the lisp of falling dew
In a dark meadow where no breezes stirred. …
Then all at once the noisy street, and you
Smiling at me because I had not heard!

Manama (AFP) Dec 11, 2012
Fears that the Syrian regime could resort to using its arsenal of chemical weapons against rebels are well-founded, Western officials say, but experts at a security forum said Damascus is unlikely to unleash these arms.
"We are extremely concerned about the stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and we are also concerned about evidence during the last couple of weeks that the regime could use them," British Foreign Secretary William Hague told reporters on Saturday at the Manama regional security forum.
His views were echoed by US Republic Senator John McCain who said it was a "tough" question facing the global community.
The United States and the Arab world could "face a very, very tough decision, that is whether we should do anything, and if so, what, because of this threat that is now posed by (President) Bashar al-Assad assembling these weapons of mass destruction," McCain told participants at the gathering.
The international community has raised alarms over Damascus' stockpiles of such weapons, with UN chief Ban Ki-moon saying their use would constitute an "outrageous crime" and Washington warning that their deployment was a red line.
Washington fears battlefield advances by the rebels could prompt the Assad regime to use them, or that stocks could fall into the hands of groups hostile to the United States and its allies.
Turkey, which has witnessed a sharp deterioration in its ties with Syria, harbours similar fears.
Turkey's deputy foreign minister Naci Koru, who also took part in the Manama forum, said the Syrian "regime has lost its rationale together with its legitimacy."
"We all know very well the chemical and biological weapons capability of the regime."
Damascus ihas nsisted it would never deploy these arms in the 21-month conflict, that has killed more than 42,000 people according to activists.
On Saturday, Damascus even warned that the rebels could use such weapons.
"Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian people... after having gained control of a toxic chlorine factory" east of Aleppo, the foreign ministry said.
The ministry was believed to be referring to the Syrian-Saudi Chemicals Company (SYSACCO) factory near Safira, which was taken over last week by militants from the jihadist Al-Nusra Front.
But some experts attending the Manama forum downplayed the fears and insisted that these weapons were not a game changer on the ground, with one analyst even saying they had limited operational utility.
"The regime is preparing the terrain for the use" of chemical weapons "but it does not mean they will use it," said Dina Esfandiary, a Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme researcher at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).
Not much is known about Syria's chemical weapons programme, launched in the 1970s with support from Egypt and then from the former Soviet Union.
Esfandiary said Syria had a "long standing" and the "biggest" chemical programme in the Middle East with chemical agents "weaponised into missiles, artillery shells and chemical bombs."
She said the programme was set up to "offset Israel's nuclear programme" and that Damascus has a "few production facilities scattered around and a couple of storage facilities."
"My belief is if the international community does a good job by drawing a red line, they will not use it," she said, adding that important information on the programme was collected from officers who defected, including Adnan Silou, the former head of the programme itself.
Carnegie Middle East Centre analyst Yezid Sayigh argued that the Syrian regime, pushed into the corner, was using the presence of chemical weapons as a scarecrow against the international community.
"The primary use is for sending a deterrent message to the outside world... They are primarily a psychological weapon of terror," he said.
"The real utility in operational use in a war is very limited. It cannot be used in an area where there is a mix of friendly troops and hostile population or mixed population."

After eating at the Cheesecake Factory and having the Madeira Chicken, I had to find the recipe and try making it at home. Here is the recipe and it is just as delicious as it was at the Cheesecake Factory!!
Cheesecake Factory Madeira Chicken
Thanks to RLSafford for sharing this recipe.
You can get more copycat restaurant recipes just like The Cheesecake Factory recipes here at Copykat.com.
Cheese Cake Factory Madeira Chicken
This Chicken is a wonderfully tasty main dish!
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets
- 8 Asparagus Spears
- 4 Slices Mozzarella Cheese
- Madeira Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cups Sliced, Fresh Mushrooms
- 3 cups Madeira Wine
- 2 cups Beef Stock
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1)Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Flatten the chicken breast fillets by covering each fillet with plastic wrap and using a mallet to flatten the chicken to approximately 1/4 inch thick. Season each side of the fillet with salt and pepper.
2)Sauté the chicken fillets on each side until the chicken has browned a little, about 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Set chicken aside wrapped in foil to keep them warm. Keep the pan of drippings from the chicken to start the Madeira sauce.
3)On Medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add Madeira wine, beef stock, butter and pepper and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until sauce has reduced to about 1/4 of the original volume. The sauce will thicken and turn a dark brown color when it is done. Depending on the temperature of your stove, this may take a little longer.
4)In a medium saucepan, fill halfway with water and bring to a boil. Season water with salt and toss asparagus into the water and boil. Keep an eye on this step, you don't want to over cook your asparagus. Depending on the thickness of your spears, this could take up to 3 to 5 minutes. When finished, drop the asparagus in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. The asparagus should be slightly tender when done, not mushy.
5)Set your oven to broil. Arrange the cooked chicken breast fillets on a baking pan and cross 2 asparagus spears over each fillet. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese and broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese begins to slightly brown.
6)Serve by arranging 2 chicken breast fillets on each plate and spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of Madeira sauce over the chicken.Print Recipe
I noticed there are 4 different types of Madeira wine. Which one do I use for Madeira Chicken? Also, is there a specific brand that is the best to use, or not?
i worked for cheese cake. we used ALLOT more butter. think of….you know those tea light candles? that much. two of those.
I would cook your chicken off ahead of time. and your asparagus. Have it all ready to go.
Do your chicken in the pan, save the junk at the bottom (the fond, the brown scraps and juices- thats all your flavor!), then hit it with your wine while your pan is still hot- this will deglaze your pan, then add your stock, let it reduce until you have a thick sauce, enough to coat a spoon, throw in your veggies (which you wisely pre-cooked) , then add a ton of butter. then throw the chicken back in there for a few min- serve.
when do the mushrooms go in
The recipe calls for them to be added in step 3. ~Stephanie
Since this is one of my favorite things to order at The Cheesecake Factory, I just had to try it out! Somehow I got the chicken under-seasoned, and the sauce too salty. I didn't add salt to the sauce, so perhaps it was the Madeira I used. Next time I'll have to try a different kind.

"As the Library Liaison for the American Astronomical Society (AAS), I attended their board meeting last week.
The AAS and IOP Publishing (IOP) have asked though that I announce immediately that all AAS research journals published with IOP will become electronic only and will no longer print paper editions. This transition will take effect with the 2015 subscription year and affects the Astronomical Journal (AJ) and the Astrophysical Journal (ApJ), Astrophysical Journal Letters (ApJL), and Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series (ApJS).
Electronic-only publication will allow for further development of the AAS journals, outside of the constraints of print providing even better service to subscribers, authors and readers.
Full details can be found in this press release."

Shearman & Sterling's London office has scooped an instruction to advise the lead managers on the first Tier 1 issue of preference shares since the late 1990s.
The firm advised Barclays Capital and UBS on the issue of £750m of HBOS preference shares. The groundbreaking deal is the largest preference share issuance seen in the sterling market to date – the previous record of £200m was set in 1997.
Shearman won the instruction despite not being on Barclays Capital's legal panel thanks to corporate partner Peter King's personal contacts at the client.
Before King joined Shearman from Linklaters in 2003, he advised a number of banks, notably Northern Rock when they issued reserve capital instruments to raise Tier 1 capital.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA), however, recently limited the use by banks of reserve capital instruments as a method for raising Tier 1 capital, as the regulator found that they do not provide sufficient protection to borrowers. Now up to 15 per cent of a bank's Tier 1 capital can be raised by issuing reserve capital instruments.
King said the market for preference shares has been quite of late; until very recently, banks favoured reserve capital instruments over preference shares because they attracted a stamp duty deduction.
But due to the new limits introduced by the FSA on the use of reserve capital instruments, King said he expects more banks follow the lead of HBOS.
The focus of the HBOS product was to create a preference share that would attract both institutional and retail intermediary interest in the security. This resulted in a broad distribution, which included 39 retail intermediary investors, comprising 15 per cent block allocation.
HBOS was advised jointly by Clifford Chance and Linklaters.

> Just so
Say, it isn't just so. According to Wikipedia and my own experience,
Fog begins to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets in the air. . . . Water vapor normally begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds. Fog . . . is a stable cloud deck . . . . Cloud condensation nuclei . . . are small particles . . . on which water vapour condenses. Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid . . . . In the atmosphere, this surface presents itself as tiny solid or liquid particles called CCNs. When no CCNs are present . . . in above freezing temperatures the air would have to be supersaturated to around 400% before the droplets could form.
A typical raindrop is about 2 mm in diameter, a typical cloud droplet is on the order of 0.02 mm, and a typical cloud condensation nucleus . . . is on the order of 0.0001 mm . . . or greater in diameter. The number of cloud condensation nuclei in the air can be measured and ranges between around 100 to 1000 per cubic centimetre. There are many different types of atmospheric particulates that can act as CCN. The particles may be composed of dust or clay, soot or black carbon from grassland or forest fires, sea salt from ocean wave spray, soot from factory smokestacks . . .
My understanding is that the famous London fog was finally controlled by controlling pollution. That is certainly the case for the (once) foggiest place on earth, my hometown, Bakersfield, Ca. As they finally learned, the fog condensed on CCNs from area winter agricultural burning. And no ocean in sight. Ocean-side, fires near roads are dangerous.
A friend driving me home one night opened his door to see the white line of the road. I wondered what might happen if someone coming the other way resorted to the technique and he said, "Don't worry, we're the only ones dumb enough to be out here."
Whether Shakespeare knew about CCNs, I haven't the foggiest; but the burning of coal or wood causes fog. Hope this clears the air.

>(as best I recall)...Somebody needs to shed some light on this.
Two different phenomena. Cabrillo observed prevalent "smoke" either at San Pedro or northern Santa Monica Bay. Usually attributed to native domestic fires, it could also be due to seasonal brush fires. Likely a very low inversion layer (not atypical for the area) kept the smoke tamped down and concentrated. The smokiness could have also been due to an autumnal Santa Ana wind condition compressing interior wild fire smoke down into the coast, a condition which Cabrillo attributed to coastal native fires.
Most of the year it is the coast dumping its foul pollutants inland. L.A's winds trend from ocean into interior. Therefore the coastal regions generally have cleaner air by grant of nature, not by any local eschewal of SUVs. For example, the oceanic advection fog and associated air mass of Santa Monica Bay is propelled inland from the ocean, generally pushing eastward or upward L.A.'s filthy air. Regarding L.A.'s pollution, and in contemplation of its infernal burning, including lots of smoky pictures, I composed for a film journal, "Welcome to the Hot-Hell California: Los Angeles as the Underworld in Film." http://brightlightsfilm.com/78/ It includes a picture from the film "Battle: Los Angeles" showing Santa Monica burning, its smoke traveling eastward and upward but flattening when it hits a low inversion.
Yes, a dense surface fog usually dissipates around 14th street at Wilshire due to higher elevation, but intrudes inland much farther south and southeast of that main boulevard, due to lower elevation.
