wild goose chase
All Quiet on the Western Front is thought of as a war novel, not a food novel, but food is a definite and recurring theme in Remarque's most famous work. The opening scene takes place at the mess hall. There's an impromptu feast prepared under shellfire. And there is one of the greatest non-romantic love scenes in literature: the roast goose.
The story is narrated by Paul Bäumer, age nineteen, who enlists in the German Army with a group of schoolmates. His closest friend is Stanislaus Katczinsky, nicknamed Kat, a former cobbler with an uncanny ability to forage for food and make a decent meal, no matter how poor the army rations are. One day, when Paul and Kat are out on wiring fatigue (laying barbed wire), they hear the cackle of geese coming from a shed. Later that night, they sneak out, kill a goose, and roast it for supper.
"We sit opposite one another, Kat and I, two soldiers in shabby coats, cooking a goose in the middle of the night. We don't talk much, but I believe we have a more complete communion with one another than even lovers have.
We are two men, two minute sparks of life; outside is the night and the circle of death. We sit on the edge of it crouching in danger, the grease drips from our hands, in our hearts we are close to one another, and the hour is like the room: flecked over with the lights and shadows of our feelings cast by a quiet fire. What does he know of me or I of him? Formerly we should not have had a single thought in common - now we sit with a goose between us and feel in unison, are so intimate that we do not even speak.
It takes a long time to roast a goose, even when it is young and fat. So we take turns. One bastes it while the other lies down and sleeps. A grand smell gradually fills the hut."
Once the goose is cooked, the two have a quiet feast:
"In the middle of the room shines the brown goose. We take out our collapsible forks and our pocket-knives and each cuts off a leg. With it we have army bread dipped in gravy. We eat slowly and with gusto.
"How does it taste, Kat?"
"Good! And yours?"
"Good, Kat."
I love this scene because the image is so simple, yet so powerful. Remarque invokes the primal fears of death and darkness, but Paul and Kat are safe, if only for a brief while, warded by warmth, food, and companionship. I decided that I definitely wanted to roast a goose for Novel Food.
Procuring a goose proved to be a bigger challenge than I expected. None of my usual haunts carried geese. A venture into Chinatown proved unsuccessful. I did learn that Savenor's carries geese, but I balked upon hearing their price per pound.* It was almost enough to make me set out with a bow and arrow with the aim of shooting my own. (I know a spot on the bank of the Charles that is frequented by a gaggle of geese.)
Almost, mind you. I can report that no geese on the Charles were harmed in the production of this post, and I have not jeopardized my fitness to pass the bar with any charges for possession of a deadly weapon. I ultimately decided that the spirit of the dish was more important than literal adherence to the form, and so I elected to roast a duck instead.
Ducks and geese belong to the same family. Geese are much larger, and the meat is a little coarser, but both are entirely dark meat, and both are insulated by a generous layer of fat. They can be cooked using the same method, and so I chose to prepare a duck as I would a goose.
Given that the inspiration for this meal was a goose roasted on a makeshift spit over a fire, I decided to keep it relatively simple, stuffing the duck with a mixture of chopped apples and prunes, and seasoning it with plain coarse salt. I served the duck with pan gravy, red cabbage, and boiled potatoes, in keeping with the vaguely German theme of the meal.
Tom and Kitty joined me for dinner. It was a welcome respite from the hell of finals week.
Roast Duck with Apple-Prune Stuffing
I roasted a duck that weighed approximately five pounds. According to The Joy of Cooking, the cooking time is fifteen to twenty minutes per pound, plus half an hour if the duck is stuffed, so my duck should have been cooked after two hours and ten minutes. However, I don't own a meat thermometer, and two hours seemed a little short to me, so my duck actually spent closer to three hours in the oven. I'll let you (or your meat thermometer) decide on your exact cooking time.
(Recipe not for one, unless you're roasting a very small duck, or you really like leftovers.)
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Start with the stuffing: Take three or four apples (depending on the size of your duck), peel them, core them, and cube them. Mix in a bowl with a handful of prunes, a sprinkling of salt, and a splash of apple brandy if you feel like it.
Next, check the cavity of your duck for neck and giblets. Set these aside for making stock and/or giblets in cream sauce (mmm). Pat the duck dry inside and out with paper towels. Use a skewer or a small sharp knife to prick the duck lightly all over. This allows the fat to render out, which makes for crispy duck and lots of leftover duck fat for other recipes. Don't season it with salt yet. (If you salt the duck at the beginning of cooking, the dripping fat tends to wash away the salt, leaving you with bland duck and very salty drippings.)
Stuff the duck. Secure the opening of the cavity with a toothpick, if necessary. Place on a rack in a roasting tray.
Turn the oven down to 325F, and put the roasting tray in the oven.
After one hour passes, pull out the roasting tray. Pour off the fat (the clear liquid) that has collected in the bottom of the pan. (Don't discard it! You can use it to cook potatoes that are a thing of glory.) Prick the duck all over again, and return it to the oven. Resist the urge to peek in on it every few minutes or so. Have a snack if the smell is making you too hungry.
After another hour has passed, pour off the fat that has collected in the bottom of the pan, prick the duck all over again, and now season it with salt. Put the duck back in the oven.
If your duck looks as though it's not browning quickly enough, bump up the heat to 400F. Cook for another half-hour or so. When you (or your meat thermometer) judge the duck to be done, remove it from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Pour off most of the fat that has collected at the bottom of the pan. Scrape the remaining fat and drippings (the brown liquid and the crusty brown bits) into a small saucepan. Add a splash of cheap red wine, and whisk the mixture over medium heat until the alcohol boils off and you have a thin gravy. Season with salt if necessary.
Carve the duck and serve with gravy and stuffing on the side. Red cabbage and boiled potatoes are good accompaniments.
*Let's just say that it would have been more expensive than buying the fixings for a full lobster dinner.

I know the novel, though I have not read it. I like the way you define the roast goose as "one of the greatest non-romantic love scenes in literature." I roasted a goose not long ago and I know that it is not an easy undertaking. Thanks for participating!

Simona - It's one of my favorite food scenes. I had to do some pruning, because it's a long passage, but Paul dozes off, and Kat keeps an eye on the goose until it's ready before waking him. It's lovely.

I heart you for choosing Remarque. In fact, Remarque (and Hemingway to some extent, although for him it's more liquor, though there are some interesting things he does with food)is very much a food guy. OK I am blabbering but mm goose!

I love "All Quiet on the Western Front".
And there was an article in the Washington Post recently about some local foodie businessmen who get together and hunt Canada geese for food. I had always wondered how feasible cooking and eating one of the random geese I see in DC would be...

Philosofya - Mmm. Hemingway is a good food writer, too.
Foodichka - Like I said, the difficulty lies in explaining to the nice policeman why you are running about with a bow and arrow...

Relatively Painless Ways To Lose Weight
Losing weight, sigh. It seems like tips and tricks are everywhere. If you're not trying to shed a few pounds, you can be guaranteed at least one person you know is.
It's a tough battle, and you'd be kidding yourself if you thought otherwise. There's no "quick fix" when it comes to weight loss, and there shouldn't be either. Like gaining a few pounds in the first place, losing weight is a gradual process; it requires willpower and a plan of action. There are also many current habits that you can look to reduce, or stop altogether, and gradual weight loss is not only healthier for you but studies have shown that you're more likely to keep trim in the long run.
We know that we need to 'eat less and move more' but sometimes following that advice is not as easy as it sounds! Plus, let's be honest, it's a bit on the vague side. When you're looking to lose the extra pounds, you want a more specific idea and realistic outcome, which will in turn help you stick to your goals.
There's no arguing that trying to lose weight can be tedious and takes a while, however beginning to alter aspects of your routine can help you feel better and lose the weight. If only there were some painless ways to speed up weight loss. Lucky for you then that we've compiled this list of pain-free weight loss tips.
You're welcome…
Drinking water only
Why not try banning all fluids that aren't fresh from the tap? Even diet fizzy drinks aren't the best for you, squash juices contains loads of sugar and coffee has the caffeine factor.
Using water as a weight loss method
Rumbling tummy? It could be dehydration. Stocking up on the H2O is one of the best ways to curb hunger…
Water fills the stomach and kills hunger pains, which may actually be dehydration cravings - it's difficult to tell the difference – so simply reaching for a glass of fresh cold H2O over a cup of squash, coffee, diet coke or juice could stop the grumbling from your stomach. When you don't drink enough your body can't metabolise cells, so follows these tips and guidelines:
- Drink up to eight (200ml) glasses of water each day for women
- Drink up to ten (200ml) glasses of water each day for men
- Get a glass or bottle that you know the volume of
- Keep a mental note, or even tally chart, of how much you've drunk
Pre-loading weight loss tactic
There's also 'pre-loading', which can help to curb the amount of food your hunger tells you to eat. A study followed dieters who combined low-calorie foods by drinking 16 oz.s of water around 30 minutes before each meal lose weight. Those water drinkers lost an three extra pounds after 12 weeks, in fact.
Water and child obesity
Reports have been released from the Local Government Association (LGA) associated with requesting free tap water in restaurants. The study has shown that 13% of parents are nervous or reluctant to order tap water in a restaurant, which causes them to order soft drinks instead.
Whether this is a embarrassment or confidence factor in ordering something that is for free, or a lack of knowledge that all restaurants and even pubs must supply you with water if asked, by cutting down on the sugary fizzy drinks for the kids, we can adopt healthier lifelong habits.
The government is looking to impose a sugar tax on certain products, sugary drinks being the first in the firing line, so why not try a water-only drinks diet first and see if this makes a difference. This can include sweet squash and juices too, unless you've blended them yourself.
Or drink green tea
If you're used to your morning coffee, or like a glass or seven of Ribena, it can be difficult to cut down on the habit, so try to reduce the amount firstly, and or replace with healthy versions.
For example, green tea. A study compared the metabolic effect of green tea with water and found that tea sippers burned 70 more calories in a day. This may be to do with antioxidants called catechins. You can call them miracle working BFF extracts.
Not a green tea fan?
It's my personal belief that green tea tastes like lawn. If you're in a similar mind frame, what is there to do?
- Firstly, flavour your green tea. Try a dash of honey or sweetener
- Secondly, try similar alternatives such as peppermint or camomile
Actually eat your meals
When you go into starvation mode, your body pays attention. Skipping a meal may save calories but it encourages your bum, tum and bingo wings to hold onto fat in case a biblical famine has arrived. Eat regular healthy meals to keep your metabolism going, and some find eating smaller more frequent meals to be effective for them. For example, instead of sticking with the usual breakfast, lunch and dinner, grab yourself five smaller meals throughout the day.
Stirred not shaken
Salt tastes great but it creates water retention that makes you appear bloated. Also, salt is just plain bad for you as many foods with high salt levels are processed meals with too much salt and fat in as well. If you're eating pre-packaged food, take a look at the label and avoid anything with high sodium levels.
Sodium levels are extremely high in salt and it is this that prevents weight loss. Just take your skin for example. After going in the sea, the salt water dries it out completely.
"The skin becomes starved of moisture so your body reacts by locking in what moisture and fluid that is left; it is exactly the same when consuming salt. Your body retains the little water it has to combat the high salt levels so prevalent in our meals, especially in takeaways, pre-made sauces and meal kits."
Not only can salt stall any weight loss progress, but also excessive amounts can cause diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease.
Spice spice spice
Hot and spicy peppers can boost metabolism and may reduce the appetite because they have capsaicin that can increase stress hormones. Chop a hot pepper into your salad or baked potato.
Get some sleep
Here's the logic; if you're asleep, you aren't eating M&Ms in front of Mad Men again, and if you're not eating M&Ms in front of Mad Men again, you'll save calories that way.
A solid weight loss trick, but this is not exactly possible at 11am in the office when Bev's handing around the custard creams. Having a good night's sleep can help you in your weight loss quest too…
- Sleep regulates your metabolism. This means the 'I'm so tired' sugar craving at work the following day is avoided minimising the snacking.
- It stops you from drinking too much caffeinated drinks like coffee.
- You make poorer food choices; whether it's grabbing something easy and fatty like a meal deal sandwich on your lunch break, or picking up a takeaway in the evening.
- These fatty, sugary and salty food evening food choices mean you stay up even later, it's like a vicious circle.
- You're more likely to skip exercise if you're too tired, instead opting to head home and sit in front of the television.
All these factors basically come down to your metabolism, and us adults in the UK are recommended to get at least seven and half hours sleep every evening. We have tips on getting the perfect night's sleep, and most of them are extremely doable.
Make your own lunch
We're not saying that food manufacturers want to make you fat, but they tend to add tasty, bad-for-you ingredients to that meal deal to keep you coming back for more. Make your own brown bread or wrap sandwiches with plenty of washed salads and low fat stuffing. Lean turkey, tuna and hummus are great, or skip the bread altogether and make a salad with pulses and couscous. Don't forget some Greek yoghurt - it's low fat, high protein and delicious.
Making your own meals in general!
This goes for your evening meals and breakfast too. Now you have your sleep and fluids sorted, you're making some fab and tasty lunches to boot; creating evening meals should be a doddle.
As long as you have the basics sitting in your cupboards and fridge, creating hearty meals will become easier with time. Try replacing white bread with brown bread or crackers for example.
One of the hardest things to do is to quit the snacks. Consider nuts (the unsalted, unroasted kind), fruits (dried, dipped in yoghurt, kebabs, whatever you can think of to keep them tasty and interesting), crispy roasted veggies, couple of slices of dark chocolate, carrots dipped in hummus.
Remember to include some of those peppers…
How can I find the time?
Finding a pocket of time on a daily basis is never going to be manageable and as soon as you break the snack and meal making train, the more likely you are to repeat the behaviour.
Depending on your schedule, why not allocate a certain amount of time in the week to either do it in one go, or do it over two or three sections.
Measure how far you walk. Pedometers are simple cheap pieces of kit that help people focus on their exercise levels. Once you've clocked your levels, you may be more inclined to up your game. In fact, recent research shows that users take 2,500 more steps each day - is it guilt, is it enthusiasm? It doesn't matter - it improves health and burns calories so take it. Don't do all of these in one go...
But walking is a really easy change you can make in your day-to-day and something that can be incorporated as exercise. If you find it difficult to exercise, starting gradually by walking further everyday, maybe during your commute or in the evenings, will inspire you to take on more strenuous exercise further down the line. And remember, you can do this at the gym too on the stair trainers, treadmill and cross trainers.
According to healthy blogger Laura Agar Wilson, there are common hurdles to face when looking to curb habits that you have possibly had for years. Here are 5 common problems that you could be facing if you are having difficulty losing weight. Combating these will have you in good stead:
1. Portion Control
In today's world of fast food and super sized restaurant portions, it is easy to lose sight of what a proper meal size should be. If you feel you are eating all the right things, but are still not losing weight, focusing on making sure you are eating the right portions for your size is a good place to start.
Portion sizes
Bupa have stated what our portion sizes should be, and you may be surprised with just how much excess food you are consuming.
How many portions am I allowed per day...
Starchy foods
Approx. 7 portions
Protein foods
Approx. 2 portions
Dairy foods
Approx. 3 portions
Approx. 3 portions
These all count as one portion...
You could even buy some measuring cups to help!
2. Emotional eating
Are you eating when you are unhappy, stressed or anxious? If you eat when you are feeling like this, it is more difficult for your brain to register feelings of fullness and the signs to stop eating. Your digestion is also compromised so you will not absorb all the nutrients from your meal, and may even end up with a bad stomach! Taking time to relax before eating will support your weight loss efforts by ensuring you stop when you are full.
Make sure you treat your meals with the same level of attention that you treat the scores rolling in on the last day of the season, or a flash sale at your favourite store. Making dinner time special and transferring your focal point on your eating includes:
- No distractions – turn off the television, leave your phone in the living room and put down the newspaper
- Avoid eating out and about – the cinema is the prime example where we continually eat popcorn, but also music and sporting events
- Lay the table – arrange your plate coaster, knife and fork and buy particular ones for certain times to make your dinner special
- Make it a family occasion – whether you live at home or in a house share, try to have meal together and TALK! Not only will you feel fuller, but you'll save money by bulk-buying ingredients
3. Eating low fat products
You might think that eating low fat is the best thing if you are trying to lose weight. However that is not always the case. Many low fat products replace the lost taste and texture with added sugars and chemicals. When you eat these higher sugar foods, they can affect your blood sugar causing a sharp rise in energy followed by a dramatic 'crash'. That crash makes you crave more sugar and the cycle continues. Don't fear some fat as it is needed for nutrient absorption, go for naturally low fats foods and read labels to identify added sugars.
The added sugars and salt in foods has recently come under fire in the UK with the government imposing a sugar tax, starting with fizzy drinks, and now with companies branding certain foods clearly if they are not suitable for daily consumption.
4. Not eating enough protein
Out of all of the macronutrients, protein will keep you full for longer. It takes longer to digest than carbohydrate or fat, and helps to regulate sugar levels in the body. If you aren't eating enough protein with your meals, you may find yourself becoming hungry again after just a couple of hours. Good protein sources include eggs, fish, chicken, lean meat, beans and the grain quinoa. Tofu is also a great option for vegetarians!
5. Not eating enough!
It might surprise you to know that not eating enough could actually slow down your weight loss. If you are not eating enough your body goes into 'survival mode' as it believes that food is not plentiful and therefore holds on to any energy within your body – i.e. fat. Your metabolism slows down to reserve energy and weight loss efforts can come to a halt. If you feel that you are not eating a lot, especially if you are exercising, increasing your intake just slightly could help get you back on track.
A study from the Annals of Behavioural Medicine found people who make one tiny permanent change each week lost twice as much belly fat. The point being, if it's simple and doesn't overwhelm, then it's more likely to stick as a long-term healthy habit.

Pine Hills Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club introduction
Myrtlewood boasts two lovely 18-hole parkland courses. Palmetto is the more forgiving of the two, the Pine Hills layout presenting a sterner examination of golfing credentials. Both are always in superb conditions.
Pine Hills Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club information
18 holes, 47 par, 6112 yards. --.
The only course in Myrtle Beach to be designed by award-winning architect Arthur Hills, Pines Hills is a great test of golf. A course that demands strategy and great execution, the skilful use of mounding and myriad water hazards make Pine Hills one of the best places to play golf in Myrtle Beach. The fairways are tight, placing a premium on accuracy off the tee, but it is the greens that are most heavily fortified with sand and water to be avoided on most holes. A classic test of golf that is rightly a firm favourite with Golfbreaks.com customers.
Pine Hills Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club Location
Myrtlewood can be found in Myrtle Beach, on the Route 17 Bypass, just 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach Airport.

Its Fewtch and the Bawse on the recently released Black Market album cut, D.O.P.E. This is one of the hot records on the album, with Future handling the hook and a verse as Rick Ross raps about his difficult life.
Rick Ross's Color Money which also comes of the Black Market album got heads rolling when he took shots at Drake and Birdman. When asked about the song in an interview on The Breakfast Club he said "that record is what it is". And later went on to say that Lil Wayne is "Homie" "I was just with Weezy in the club,"

Main entrance in the House is the most important subject while discussing the Vaastu Shastra principles. According to Vaastu Shastra, among the eight directions, the Northeast is considered the second best option after the East which is the best entrance direction. Northeast the important and holy direction and is ruled by God Shiva. The Jupiter (Guru) is the ruling planet, some says as (Mercury (Buddha)). This direction is also known as Eshyan because the head of Vaastu Purush comes here in the Northeast direction.
The conjunction in between the East and North directions is known as "Eshyan" or "Ishan" and that corner is the Northeast direction of that house.
While purchasing a plot or house ensures that there is no cut in the northeast corner. God Lord Shiva, Planet Jupiter resides in the Northeast corner and these gives wealth, success, education, and overall development.
Northeast direction works as the transmitter for receiving the cosmic energy in that House, from the universe. The Vaastu Purush breath here from Northeast direction goes to the South-west corner and due to the interface of the forces, the entire house gets energized.
When you design the house remember to keep the Northeast direction at lower level and to keep more openings than remaining 7 directions, in that way the house will get maximum benefits.
Those live in such house will be more educative and abide to live with the law. They are interest in meditation; they are supernatural and involved in research and developmental activities. They will have vigor and zeal in their tasks. Earns good income in right way. They decorate their house beautifully. Have more desires / requirements to get everything in their life. Sometime, they may get quick angry. However, such person leads to happiness and healthy life with prosperity.
Significance of Northeast Direction
- The North east is perfect place for Bore-Well or an underground water tank or other water source. This gives maximum benefits to the owner of that house.
- Design the lobby, porch or the verandah of the northeast facing houses in Northeast should be good option to the owner and keeping these portions of house lower than other main building will brings prosperity and fame to the house owner.
- One should never construct heavy objects like kitchen, pillars, staircase, toilet, store room, etc. on the northeast direction.
- The slope of the plot should be from the south to the east. Majority of the open space around the house should be at the front. Avoid plantation of tall trees in the Northeast direction. (Ensure that the plants do not block the sunlight or cast a shadow at the Northeast corners of the property). As per Vasthu, Southwest is suitable for vegetation.
- More openings with doors, windows in this direction will allow the blessings of God, to the inmates of that house. So, ensure there should not be any blocking in this sacred direction.
- By creating garden in Northeast will activate the bio-cosmic energies in this direction, and enhance the good luck of the inmates.
- Design the house in such a way that it allows sunlight and cross ventilation in the Northeast sectors to enhance the bio-cosmic fields.

Until the WRX arrived in 2002, Subaru was known for its near bulletproof reliability and was building a reputation for safety, but fun wasn't on the North American menu. However, once this rally-ready road rocket landed in the U.S., a new generation of buyers, weaned on Sony PlayStation racing games featuring Subarus from around the globe, flooded into showrooms. The WRX has been a big hit and tremendous image builder for Subaru, good for plenty of free advertising from the enthusiast community, but now the question is: Where does the WRX buyer go when maturity and the demands of the real world shift preferences?
For 2005, Subaru provides an answer in the Legacy 2.5 GT sedan and station wagon, equipped with a turbocharged engine that provides the same rush of power as the WRX coupled with more interior space, added luxury amenities, and a softer ride quality. We spent a week driving a $30,000 Obsidian Black 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited, a worthy replacement for WRX owners when they've grown up, bought a black suit, and qualified for a mortgage. However, this capable but cramped sport sedan is possessed of a raw yet refined split personality that, while entertaining, frequently works against it in its quest to serve as an entry-luxury alternative to models from Audi, BMW, Infiniti, and others.

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1440 Projector Review
The Home Cinema 1440 – An Impressive Brute Force Solution for Living Room Projection
Typically the under $2000 range for home projectors has consisted of two classes of projectors, the entry level of the home theater class – projectors optimized for best possible picture, but primarily geared to be used in fully darkened rooms for movie viewing, but with enough brightness to tackle some sports and other HDTV with some ambient light present. That's not the Home Cinema 1440!
Then there are traditional HE – home entertainment projectors. They are a somewhat brighter, typically even lower cost, but able to tackle more ambient light, but image processing remains very basic, no match in picture for the Home Theater projectors.
The Home Cinema 1440 projector is mostly "home entertainment" but what it has going for it is some rather dazzling brightness, I mean the kind typically found in a small auditorium, or large training room, not, until now – in the home. In this case 4400 lumens maximum both color and white lumens (with a pretty impressive picture). That is a rather incredible amount of brightness for the price.
I'm going to invest a few paragraphs here, to position this projector because Epson makes so many models.
In Epson's Home Cinema line-up, the HC1440 is the top of the line of these exceptionally bright new projector models. We'll be reviewing in January/February time frame, the step down HC1040, which is a $900 projector by comparison, but still very bright, if not quite as bright.
The thing readers need to understand about Epson's projector strategy/line-up, is that for the most part, Epson seems to want to offer us one of everything. Epson already sells far more different projector models than anyone else, one reason why they have over 40% of the North American market share despite more than 20 major competing manufacturers such as NEC, InFocus, Panasonic, Sony, Optoma, Viewsonic… Not satisfied with entry level projectors on the home entertainment side, and serious ones on the home theater side, Epson is making a big push into the concept of selling projectors to people to use in rooms they would otherwise put in LCDTVs, because there haven't previously been projector suitable solutions.
Can't blame Epson. Big is better, but most people have not had the option – until now, to put a projector in their favorite family or media room, due to lighting conditions. And we're still talking one of the major advantages of projectors – huge image sizes. Why settle for a "tiny" 70 inch LCDTV in your favorite room when you can enjoy 100, 110, 120… inch diagonal projection?

Home Cinema 1440 Projector Overview
In fairness the Home Cinema 1440 is only part of the solution. Today there's a new breed of screens to make these projectors better performers around ambient light. Those are often referred to as light absorbing screens.
But back to how the Home Cinema 1440 fits into the overall Epson projector lineup for the home. Consider Projectors between Epson $800 and just over $2000:
- Home Cinema 2040 and 2045 – two variations – under $1000, classic home entertainment projectors with good brightness
- Home Cinema 3000 series (three models) – not near as bright as the 1440, but two of those have a couple of "home theater" features
- Pro Cinema 4030, Home Cinema 5030UB. These are two of Epson's "ultra-black" class of projectors – with excellent black levels, making them designed primarily for a dedicated home theater or cave but with a couple of fairly bright modes for tackling more than minimal ambient light
- Home Cinema 1040 and 1440: These are "brute force" projectors, lots of color and white lumens, when matched to the right screen, capable of competing against LCDTVs in brighter rooms. Just remember – while a turned off 70″ LCDTV is a big grey-black, unattractive "hole" in your wall, these projectors paired with a motorized (or pull down) screen are far less intrusive when not in use, and provide a far larger image when in use! These Epsons are more likely to pass the "spouse test," when it comes to room esthetics.
I was thinking of how to describe this projector when "brute force" popped into my head. I think it's a good description. Just don't assume that because of the Epson's "brute force" abilities, that the 1440 isn't capable of some serious picture quality.
The point of "positioning" the projector in the line-up is that its up to you to decide what features/benefits, you need in a projector for your environment and tastes. The HC1440 may well be perfect for you, but there's a good chance that one of the other dozen plus Epson home models that sell +/- $1000 of this projector, might be a better alternative. It's great having choices.
OK, let's start with an overview of the Home Cinema 1440 – touching on the hardware, features, etc., then we'll get into the details.
Epson's Home Cinema 1440 is a hybrid. Where better to look in creating a super bright projector for home, then to business projectors designed for handling bright rooms and large screens. There's no question when you familiarize yourself with the capabilities of the HC1440, that you won't see the resemblance and some features found in commercial projectors. In this day and age, it's really only projectors designed for dedicated home theaters and viewing in full darkness, that you find projectors created from the ground up for home use.
What the 1440 has of interest for home use, (besides lots of lumens) include a dynamic iris for improving black levels (to be discussed on the Picture Quality pages), a full set of controls allowing for a full calibration, gamma adjustment, etc., (calibration not really needed, thanks to very good color "right out of the box.")
One key feature is that one of the two HDMI inputs supports MHL – the "mobile" HDMI, which allows for working with today's streaming sticks like Roku, ChromeCast, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, etc.
As an extra bonus, there's a split screen feature allowing for two same size or two different sized images side by side (more in Special Features).
There's also a host of "ECO" features, some of which we'll describe later.
You'll also find some commercial features though – hard wired networking, and scheduling to be specific.
That's fine, but we're going to concentrate on how this projector performs in the home, although, know, that if needed, you could pick up this 10 pound projector, haul it to your local hotel, and use it to present to a few hundred people in a hotel ballroom. It's that capable!
Let's look at the highlights:
Home Cinema 1440 Highlights
- 4400 maximum lumens almost 4000 with great color
- Extensive placement flexibility thanks to 1.6:1 zoom lens and lots of keystone correction (or corner correction)
- Extremely easy setup thanks to Quick Corner, Focus Help, more
- Handles 1080p natively (actual resolution slightly higher – 1920×1200)
- 2 year warranty with 2 years of rapid replacement program!
- Up to 4000 hours lamp life (a lot for a high brightness projector) and 3000 hours at full power
- ECO modes and very good energy efficiency
- 2 HDMI – one with MHL
- USB (2) and two computer inputs
- Big sound from small projector – a 16 watt speaker system

A survey recently released by voucher code website, i love coupons has shown 73% of Australian shoppers believe online shopping is the most convenient way to shop.
Of the 4600 shoppers who were asked the question, 'Has online shopping reached the tipping point of convenience, or is it still easier to shop in-store?' nearly three quarters voted in favour of online, proving the Australian retail landscape has well and truly changed forever.
Coupons Director Louie Van Essen said the company was not surprised by the results, saying Australia is following a worldwide trend that is increasingly favouring all things online.
"Online retail provides shoppers a level of convenience and transparency bricks and mortar stores just can't match. With 100% money back guarantees, fast shipping and the ability to shop anytime, anywhere, it's hardly surprising that increasing numbers of Aussie consumers are making the switch online," Mr Van Essen said.
While online shopping is still considered a relatively new concept in Australia, with overseas markets already wholly embracing the phenomenon it seems likely it won't be long before the practice becomes second nature to Australian consumers as well.
"The online revolution has well and truly began and so it's time for Aussie retailers to start taking bigger advantage of it. No longer is it enough to just have an online store. Retailers need to increase their online presence and that's where voucher code websites can prove extremely advantageous.
"By aligning with group buying or coupon websites retailers can ensure they reach a broader pool of people, rather than hitting the same target audience every time. And when you combine the ease and value of online shopping with a discount coupon it proves to be a very enticing offering for consumers," Mr Van Essen explained.
"At i love coupons we have partnered with some big online retailers to give consumers some of the best online deals. Whether they're looking for a Boohoo coupon code, a SurfStitch coupon code or the latest percentage-off deal, our customers love the combined value that coupon websites and online shopping provide.
In addition to partnering with group buying websites many online stores are also increasing their competitive advantage by expanding their service offering. Stores like popular online retailer The Iconic, now offer Sydney CBD customers 3-hour delivery.
"Shopping has never been more convenient. During a lunch break a Sydney shopper can log on to their favourite coupon site, download their The Iconic coupon code, make their purchase and have their parcel delivered to their office before they walk out the door at the end of the day.

text: EuropeItaly's long road of corruption Funding to improve country's most impoverished region, Calabria, has instead made its way into pockets of local mafia. 22 Nov 2012 19:17 GMT | Europe, Italy Over the last 15 years, the European Union has given one of Italy's most impoverished regions, Calabria, almost $2.5bn to improve its road infrastructure. But critics say some of that funding made its way to the local mafia instead. As a result, all that is left to show for the money is an unfinished highway from Salerno to Reggio Calabria, that has taken more than 50 years to build.

Question: A photon can undergo Compton scattering from either an electron
A photon can undergo Compton scattering from either an electron or a neutron. How does the maximum wave-length shift for Compton scattering from a neutron com-pare with that from an electron? Explain.
View Solution:
View Solution:
Answer to relevant QuestionsThe Sun's energy production (near its center) is initially in the form of X-rays and gamma rays. By the time it reaches the surface, it is mostly in the visible range. Use Compton scattering to explain how this happens. A source of UV light has a wavelength of 150 nm. How much energy does one of its photons have expressed in (a) Joules and (b) Electron-volts? The work function of metal A is less than that of metal B. (a) The threshold wavelength for metal A is (1) shorter than, (2) the same as, (3) longer than that of metal B. Why? (b) If the threshold wavelength for metal B is ...What is half the maximum wavelength shift for Compton scattering from a free electron? The Compton effect can occur for scattering from any particle— for example, from a proton.

I used Mrs Khoury, for my setting up my trust and also to handle some work related paperwork. She was very professional and had my paperwork done in a fast timely manner. I would reccomend her to anyone needing legal work. I have used several other attorneys in the past and they all seemed to rush me and not listen. Mrs Khoury listens and gets the job done right!!!

The Clarinet lauded Kim's "sensitive playing, a lovely sound and consummate facility" in François Devienne: Clarinet Sonatas. On his recent Naxos release of Stephen Krehl's Clarinet Quintet, American Record Guide wrote: "Kim renders the Clarinet Quintet with a clear and nicely rounded timbre…with seamless blend and excellent legato." Kim's live and recorded performances have been featured on Radio France, BBC Radio 3, Swedish Radio, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, CJPX Radio Classique Québec, Hong Kong RTHK-HK, Korean Broadcasting System, and NPR stations around the US.

His latest CD with enhakē entitled Prepárense: The Piazzolla Project on MSR has been described as "positively delightful…[t]he sense of ensemble is near-miraculous" (Fanfare) and received high praises from Gramophone: "The playing throughout is sublime...The intensity is real, the sounds gorgeous, the rhythm infectious...this version strides proudly alongside the legendary recording by Piazzolla himself." Kim regularly collaborates with renowned composers such as Edward Knight, Libby Larsen, Peter Lieuwen, Steve Reich, Peter Schickele and Ellen Zwilich, commissioning, premiering or recording their new works.
Currently, Kim is Associate Professor of Clarinet at Tennessee Tech University, where he has been a recipient of Derryberry Faculty Award and the QEP Award for Excellence in Innovative Instruction.

French Name
"Simularbre" appears to have the word "similar" (albeit misspelled), but what does the "bre" part mean?
- Maybe it merges from "arbre", the word for "tree". --DarkfireTaimatsu 14:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Do we really need it?
I mean, do we really need to know that the shiny form of sudowoodo looks like a fruit tree? I think that is text that we can delete!--Quick Man107 14:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Why delete it, it's interesting! Taromon777 21:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

"Simularbre" have the word "simular" means "imitation", don't "similar". And I think that Sudowoodo looks like a vineyard. --I.megaphone 16:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Does it really appear there in HGSS? How come I've never heard about this before? This seems like a pretty major change.--Purimpopoie 21:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
Can you breed sudowoodo with a ditto or one of it's egg groups IN GENERATION III(where you can't get rock incense) and hatch a bonsly. If so, is there a chance you can breed a bonsly with rockhead when the parent has sturdy? Greetz -Cipher- 13:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- No, you can't. Bonsly is a purely Gen IV Pokémon, thus doesn't even have coding in Gen III (apart from it's NPC cameo in XD. ʝɑzzmotɦ ❝❞✎ 14:12, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Awww, so there's no way you can get a sudowooo with rockhead after you got one with sturdy(except for trading of course), if so that's to bad =( OF TOPIC; can you trade online with emeraldor leafgreen? And thx for the info ^^ -Cipher- 15:54, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok let's hear what you think are the most powerful/influential phrases ever spoken in anime.
Mine is from Gundam SEED episode 47, Lacus was speaking..
"The choice we are making may be one of evil as well, for we call for peace, but with weapons in our hands. Nevertheless, allow us to break this chain of neverending conflict. Give us strength."
That phrase and the music that accompanied it made it one of the most powerful things I've ever heard in anime.

Report and photos by Katie Forster for Fukuoka Now.
On Saturday evening we headed to the opening weekend of Fukuoka's yearly Oktoberfest in search of good beer and the possibility of a Bavarian knees-up. The festival, at Reisen park in Hakata until Oct. 27, is inspired by the world-famous event in Munich, whose population happens to be around the same as Fukuoka's. Despite the flight hours between the two cities, the appeal of donning lederhosen, consuming unhealthy amounts of beer and bratwurst and doing the oom-pah to a German-inspired folk band travels very well indeed.
Wafting our way through the smell of grilled sausage and the queues at each stand for overflowing golden tankards, the buzz of the jovial crowd suggested that a good deal of thirst had already been quenched. As we squashed into the main tent, the event's sociable ethos became apparent: 'do you want to join us?' shouted one of many potential drinking buddies over the noise of hundreds of other new acquaintances discovering that they, too, love the tuba. After a quick 'Prost!', we moved on to find more people making the most of the variety of brews on offer.
The international theme of the event attracted a mix of both Japanese and overseas revellers. Tim, Trevor and Luke, above, are from England and Australia and have been living in Fukuoka for over 7 years (12 in Tim's case). They were celebrating Luke's birthday at Oktoberfest and were happy that the weather was better and there were more people than last year. What's in their glasses? 'Japanese beer – a recommendation'. How does it taste? 'It's fruity, a little bit hoppy but nice.' Sehr gut.
Back inside the tent, a yodelling fraulein had stolen the stage, cementing the intoxicating yet surreal 'fairytale Germany' aesthetic cultivated throughout the event. Lace-up tops, frills and hats with feathers on were spotted on a wide cross-section of the crowd, throwing their hands up to the music in front of the stage.
English teacher Philippa, on the right, was enjoying Oktoberfest with her friends – she told us she was having a good night and had met plenty of people. How long has she been in Fukuoka? 'Two years now – it feels like two days!'
So how does Oktoberfest in Fukuoka compare to the real deal in Germany? Lena, from a town near Hamburg, has been working part-time in a bar in Fukuoka for two months and is working at a pretzel stand during the festival. 'Everybody's in a good mood, they're enjoying the German food and drink. It might be a little crazier than in Germany, a little bit more creative – like making me stay here with this giant pretzel… I'm not sure if that would happen in Germany.'
Non-musical entertainment included this classic merry-go-round, beside which we bumped into Laurie from Cambridge, England.
'I'm having an absolutely wonderful Oktoberfest'. If you could sum up the night in one word, what would it be? 'Hmm…party… German…?' This answer was revised to 'beer-tastic!' after careful consideration. So, what are you drinking, Laurie? 'Hoffbrau! In a stein, which is a traditional glass. It's exactly one litre, because of course in Germany they use the metric system'. Luckily, he was able to act as a (100% sober) translator so we could chat to his friends. What do they think of the event? 'The beer is great!' And the food? 'Oishii!'
Danke schön, Oktoberfest!
Fukuoka Oktoberfest is open from now until 27 Oct (Sun.). 16:00~22:00 Mon~Fri and 11:00~22:00 Sat~Sun. Free entry. Report and photos by Katie Forster for Fukuoka Now.

Agency: The Box/Bauer in house
Client: Cobra Beer
Cobra Beer is targeting 25-35 year olds with the launch of its Cobra Bite range of flavoured lagers.
The beer brand is advertising on TV for the first time on digital music channels.
Cobra has bought over 400 20-second TV spots on Bauer music channels 4Music, Magic TV, Kiss and The Box.
There are four different executions, one for each Cobra Bite flavour. The visual creative focuses on the exoticism of the beers with a voiceover describing the product's attributes.
The spots also include a competition call for entries giving consumers the opportunity to win £1,000 cash and some Cobra Bite to create their own girls night in.
Cobra has recently carried out similar sampling of its Cobra Bite range at a number of Heal's and French Connection stores as well as at The Times BFI London Film Festival and London Fashion Week.
Cobra says sales of Cobra Bite have grown by 50% over the last quarter following the launch of a new Fresh Ginger variant in September, which joined Lemongrass, Blood Orange and Sweet Lime flavours.
Will Ghali, marketing director of Cobra Beer said, "The chosen TV music channels offer an ideal platform for us to reach a high proportion of our target female consumers. We're confident that this activity will really help drive further trial and awareness of Cobra Bite."
