text: I picked up a couple boneless skinless chicken breasts the other day. I know, not the best thing to smoke. I didn't do any research before hand or I would have bought something else. However, I figured I'd go for it anyway. My research (after purchase) lead me to realize I needed to brine the breasts... lol to be honest, I didn't know what that was... So I did some more research. lol. End the end this is what I ended up doing: Meat: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (fresh, not frozen) Brine: Slaughterhouse Poultry Brine (thank you) Rub: Stubbs Chicken Spice Rub Sauce: Homemade Peach BBQ Sauce Wood: Apple (leftovers from last weekends cook) I brined the breasts for approximately 1 hour... actually a little longer. Covered them in a thin coat of evoo and applied the rub. I smoked them at 225-250 until I got an IT of 167. Couple extra for good measure... I'm paranoid and a newb cook. The entire smoke (meat on smoker) lasted 2 hours and 45 mins. From my research, that was on the long end of things, but I did read of others taking as long. The peach bbq sauce was a recipe I found on another website (not smoker centered). It wasn't bad, but I'll use another recipe in the future or tweak this one. This one ended up being way to peachy (sweet) and didn't have any kick. The recipe didn't specify how much peach preserve to add and I guess I went over board. Live and learn. The end product was very good. Which is what matter I guess. However, next time, assuming I use the same rub, I'll use a lot less. The flavor was very strong and almost made it uneatable. The sweet sauce did help bring it down a little, so I guess I lucked out on that front. I under estimated the cook time, so the other parts of the meal were out of time. I had also prepared some good ole mac n cheese and I tried to make some homemade baked french fries. Notice the word tried? Yeah I burnt them... I did say I was a newb cook. The fries would have been tasty, if I wouldn't have burned them. I used a spice recipe (again from a non-smoker centered website) mixed with some evoo. I almost took a bit of them in raw form... in hind sight, they would have probably been better that way then how they came out of the oven. Okay... picture time: Blending the brine -Way, way, way too much brine. Lesson learned. Prepared breasts Peach BBQ Sauce brewing -Again, more than I needed, but at least it wasn't over as much as the brine. Rubbed breasts, ready for smoker The failed fries (pre-burning) Finished breasts off smoker -I didn't glaze with sauce during the cook. Once the lid was closed, it didn't open until it was done. Close up of finished breast -Sorry for the bad lighting, the flash killed the difference in the color of the meat. I was worried about the 'pink' ring around the outside of the breast. I told an ex-restaurant cook that I smoke some chicken breasts and without me showing him a picture or mentioning it, he said something about the 'pink' meat. I laughed and told him I was going to ask him about it cause it made me nervous eating it. He told me that was normal. Is his advice correct? Is this the smoke ring that people speak of? Tonights leftovers -The flavoring in the meat when served like this wasn't as over powering as it was the night before. There's a layer of cheddar cheese under that meat, a touch of the peach bbq sauce on the bun top and the bun was buttered and toasted. Thanks for looking.

Ive searched, and cant find a definitive answer that im comfortable enough with to proceed, so I'll ask bluntly
Is it safe to downgrade from 4.4 to an earlier version if i use a stock TAR and Odin? Will I have modem issues if I do?
If I can, which is less problematic? 4.3? 4.1?

With increasingly compelling research proving how much more beneficial vitamins and minerals are when taken in a 'food state' (rather than synthetic) form, I was super interested when naturopath Eve Kalinik told me that bee pollen is her latest obsession. "Bee Pollen is granules manufactured by bees for their food source. It is one of the ultimate super foods since it is packed full of nutrients – 22 amino acids, including 8 essential ones, which makes it a great source of protein- plus vitamins, minerals and important fatty acids," explains Kalinik. "It has been shown to benefit health conditions including allergies, skin conditions, digestive issues, fertility and depression. It is also thought to prevent premature ageing of cells and stimulate new cell growth which rejuvenates the body both inside and out." In short, pretty potent stuff.

Kalinik recommends a maintenance dose of two teaspoons per day (noting that it should be avoided completely by those with a history of anaphylactic allergies), "sprinkled on muesli, over nut butter on sprouted seed bread or even in salads or your favorite juices. Just don't heat it – cooking destroys bee pollen's important nutrients and enzymes."

It's got me thinking that I must stock up on some more Manuka honey from Comvita (and more of their excellent Olive Leaf Extract – amazing at boosting the body's anti-viral protection in the winter months). A teaspoon a day of UMF 18 gives a great flu-protecting boost. Melvita's Natural Defenses (20 phials, £17) are also an absolute winter essential. A certified organic mix of Echinacea, propolis and thyme essential oil that is sweetened with honey (beware, they taste pretty punchy), they are the first thing I reach for if I feel a cold or flu-ey feeling coming on.

P.S. In skincare, bee propolis (the resin that bees pack into their hives to protect it from bacteria) is a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial ingredient. Comfort Zone's Active Pureness Mask, £25.50 sounds promisingly purifying, with a blend of green clay, propolis, kaolin and extracts of willow to absorb excess sebum and counteract acne bacteria.

Secret GardenRemember my previous Makeup Geek post? Well now I have 10 more eyeshadows, and that means my 28 eyeshadow palette that I bought from ebay is officially full, and I think I'll end up having at least 2 more palettes full as time goes on!
I love Makeup Geek eyeshadows, they're pigmented and most of the eyeshadows are buttery smooth. The other reason why I love this brand is because there is a huge variety of products ranging from neutrals to colourful. Some eyeshadows are in pan form, and then there are pigments (which I haven't tried but really want to try!). I mainly got a lot of matte eyeshadows as that's what I'm really into, although I still like my shimmery eyeshadows.
[L-R: Secret Garden, Mai Tai, Goddess, Roulette, Cocoa Bear]
Secret Garden is one of the latest duo chromes released in September. I would describe this as a dark teal colour with a burgundy-purple warm undertone. This needed to be built up as at first all I was getting was the burgundy colour and then as I built it up, the green tone came out a lot more. The swatch on my hand does not do it justice. The green is a lot more brighter and prominent and as you move your hand the burgundy colour comes through. It did needed building up, so pigmentation is a 6/10 for me.
Mai Tai is another duo chrome that has been released in September. This is what I would say is a peach-apricot colour and it's got orange-pink reflects. On the Makeup Geek website it says that it's an "apricot pink with orchid reflects" and I think that's quite accurate! It's quite powdery and it does leave a bit of a fall out. It's a bit more pigmented than Secret Garden, but still needs building up. This is a colour that would be great for what I would call a sandwich smoke, an all over the lid colour, inner corner highlight or just all over the lower lash line. Absolutely beautiful!
Goddess did not look like much in the pan, but I changed my mind after swatching it. This is such a beautiful muted copper shade, I couldn't even believe. It's meant to be a shimmer, but there was barely any shimmer to it. I would say this is more of a semi-matte eyeshadow. Full pigmentation with one swipe. I know that copper is meant to be more on the burnt orange side, but this has more of a pink tone to it. Colours like these actually make blue and green eyes pop, and this is one of those eyeshadows thare a must have Autumn.
Roulette is a reddish copper eyeshadow with a pink undertone to it and is a full blown shimmer. The pink undertone is more of a rose gold. I had a hard time trying to describe the colour, but the way I described it I think sums it up. On the Makeup Geek website it says that it's a "rosy, burnt sienna with a silky shimmer finish". If I said any of the previous eyeshadows were pigmented, this is a 100% more pigmented than of any of them. This applies as if I had just wet my brush. Really really opaque and is such a smooth eyeshadow.
Cocoa Bear is a matte eyeshadow and seems to be a reddish-brown colour in the pan. One of the reasons that I really wanted this is because Jaclyn Hill uses this eyeshadow all the time in her tutorials especially in her outer corner and into the crease. It's a warm toned eyeshadow which I don't typically learn towards, but seeing as Jaclyn Hill uses this so much I wanted to try it out. I would say this is more of a muted orange-brown colour rather than a reddish-brown. Overall it is a really nice shade, and would go really well with a lot of my eyeshadows.
[L-R: Vanilla Bean, Barcelona Beach, Cupcake, Wisteria, Pop Culture]
Vanilla Bean is as neutral as neutral gets. I have a shade similar to this in my Makeup Academy Undressed Me Too palette and I have used it all up. I've never used an eyeshadow all up before, so when I saw this colour and saw how similar it was, I knew I had to get it. It's actually a shimmery eyeshadow and it is a light beige. This is a great eyeshadow to apply under your browbone, to use all over your lid, or my favourite way, to blend out the edges of your eyeshadow.
Barcelona Beach is a mid-toned brown with the slightest gray tone to it and it is a cool toned eyeshadow. I would say that this is a matte, with the slightest shimmer to it. This is a gorgeous shade to use in the crease and above the crease, at least that's how I'm mainly planning to use it! This can be used to give depth to your look by using it as a transition shade as well. Just a perfect all rounder eyeshadow, same as Vanilla Bean.
Cupcake is a matte medium pink and is a cool toned shadow. It also has a beige-red undertone to it, but it's more of a neutral undertone. Really weird but accurate description for it. I don't normally go for pink eyeshadows, but seeing how this swatched I knew it would go really well my eye colour and would be such a above the crease shade. I wanted this mainly as a transition colour, but I can see myself using this easily with purples, browns, golds (including coppery shades) even blues and greens..it's just an overall well rounder.
Wisteria is a matte pale purple with a cool blue undertone. This is the reformulated version, as it got changed as of 2015. It's a lavender shade, and it is beautifully matte. I can see myself using this as a transition colour, in the inner corner, all over the lid, and I think this would go really well with Cupcake. It's also really pigmented and a bit neon. It didn't pick up very well on the camera, but it is actually a bit neon.
Pop Culture is a shimmer eyeshadow that is a darker lavendar purple with a prominent blue tone to it. It's iridescent, quite vibrant and cool toned which I really like. I'm not exactly sure how I would use this if I'm honest, but I think it would look quite nice with some blue eyeshadows, as a inner part of the lid colour or even as a lower lash line colour. It's also really pigmented!

When he could finally sit in front of the TV again without getting a headache, Pascal Leclaire realized he enjoyed watching The Bachelor.
When he returns to work on a full-time basis in a week or so, Leclaire could be The Celebrity Apprentice.
Leclaire, the Senators No. 1 goalie when he suffered a concussion 2 1/2 weeks ago, will find himself reduced to the role of backup if Brian Elliott keeps playing the way he is. In winning six games in a row, Elliott has stopped 164-of-170 pucks fired his way.
Hes been playing great, Leclaire, who practised with the Senators Friday for the first time since his injury, said of his partner. I think that helps out quite a bit. He stepped up his game big time, made some timely saves. Hes been a wall there. Hes a big reason why weve won a lot of games in a row.
Im looking forward to coming back and hopefully play well, and just be part of that good thing weve got going on right now.
Leclaire has struggled (11-10-1, 3.07 GAA, .890 save percentage) around the two injuries hes had this season, both of which were the result of being hit above the shoulders by shots that indirectly and directly came off the stick of Mike Fisher.
The concussion he suffered after being dinged by a Fisher shot in a Jan. 14 practice was his second in a couple of years, he said.
Leclaire, who skated by himself a couple of times this week, thoroughly enjoyed sharing the ice with the guys again Friday.
Were doing so well right now, said Leclaire. When you kind of see it from the outside, youre really excited to come back. Its fun to be at the rink. The guys joke around and stuff ... its a great time to come back.
Erik the better
The improvement in the play of rookie D Erik Karlsson is noticeable by the day. The 19-year-old is a plus-6 during the last six games, lowering his season total to minus-7. He is also skating with significantly more certainty, making plays that the Senators knew he had in him when they took Karlsson 15th overall in the 2008 draft.
Every day I gain something new, every game is a new experience, Karlsson said Friday. The more experience you gain, the better you become.
Karlsson says hes grown as both a player and a person, and feels his skating and positional play are the areas hes improved the most in the past four months. He also says his teammates have been a big help to his development. The key, however, is his confidence.
In the beginning of the season, it was more, dont screw up, and you thought about that too much, he said. Now I think I found my game a little more.
This n that
Since returning from an injury after last years all-star game, Habs G Carey Price has won just 18-of-60 games ... Senators C Jesse Winchester is ready to return from a knee injury that has kept him out 10 games. Hell get in whenever we see fit to put him in, said coach Cory Clouston ... Habs D Jaroslav Spacek (flu) did not practise Friday. Montreal called up D Yannick Weber from Hamilton Friday, meaning Marc-Andre Bergeron could line up as the fourth-line right winger.
Ice chips
Against Pittsburgh Thursday, the Senators gave up the first goal for the first time in their eight-game winning streak ... C Jason Spezza has a goal in each of his last five games ... The Senators are 3-1 against the Habs this season and 46-44-5-3 vs. Montreal since their return to the NHL ... As of Friday afternoon, less than 50 tickets remained for Saturdays game.
Senators: G Pascal Leclaire (concussion), out another week; C Jesse Winchester (knee), day-to-day. Canadiens: D Paul Mara (upper body), out indefinitely; RW Andrei Kostitsyn (lower body), out indefinitely.

The only disappointing stay I had in my trip to Japan. We got a fantastic rate (50% off) and a huge room so decided to stay here.
English skills at the reception are limited. Staff are borderline rude who don't make you feel welcome at all. The only time this ever happened to us in Japan. So we knew something was not quite right from the moment we checked in.
Room itself was nice, very modern furnishings and futuristic feel. The theme of the hotel is a half-way between a hotel room and ryokan stay. Great curtains to block out natural light - so well you couldn't tell what time of the day it was in the room. Beds could have been better. Air-conditioning was good. The hallways are outdoors (but undercover) so you're exposed to the elements until you walk into your room.
Location is actually quite good - 10 minute walk to Gion district. And really in Kyoto, buses can take you anywhere you need to go. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel. Cheap taxi ride home after one night out in Gion.
The 50% off rate was the only pull to stay here. Without that, I'd look elsewhere for better service.

FAQs For AttorneysIn addition to these general questions and answers concerning the project, there are additional FAQs for the Public. Maryland Rules can be found here.
Is e-filing mandatory?
E-filing for attorneys is mandatory if you are filing in a county that has been converted to the new MDEC system (See Rule 20-106).
How do I know the effective date of the county implementations?
Rule 20-102 will be updated or you can check back with this website.
What will be done with cases that were initially filed in paper form? Will we continue to use paper until those cases have been closed? Will the efiling start on a particular day and after that day, all new case submissions be electronic?
Closed or inactive case files will most likely not be converted to electronic format, or will be converted on an as-needed basis (most likely due to being reopened or some other demand). These files will be retained and managed according to current retention schedules.
Is the Judiciary considering charging those who don't e-file, a charge for not using the system?
How will the system work with the Public Information Act if someone wants to see an electronic record/case?
Case search will continue to provide online access to case information. However, availability and access to these records will be subject to security and privacy considerations.
Will the notification system relieve the Court of notifying attorneys of their need to respond to a motion?
The notification functionality within MDEC will notify attorneys of hearing dates. The system will not prompt the attorney to file motions or responses.
How do you foresee a paper summons being served on a defendant? Would a sheriff still serve?
Documents can be electronically served, however any documents required by rule or statute to be served by a sheriff – will continue to be served by the sheriff.
What computer resources are required to e-file?
E-filing will require internet access and a word processor, such as Word or WordPerfect. A scanner can also be used. The Judiciary will provide multiple opportunities for the training of attorneys on use of the e-filing system.
What is the timeframe for the project?
The project will be rolled out on a county by county basis starting in the fall of 2014. It will take approximately five years to complete.
How will the new case management change the way different Courts communicate with each other?
The new case management system will provide a single solution for Appellate, Circuit and District Courts that will facilitate electronic communications of case information between the aforementioned court levels. For the first time, courts in different counties will communicate in the same system.
What type of access will be available for criminal records?
Access will be based on a number of factors: applicable Maryland Rules; present availability of electronic case information to the public; any agreements reached between the Judiciary and its criminal justice partners; identity or role of the entity making the inquiry (case party, attorney, general public, etc.) as determined by authentication and authorization rules.
Will transcripts still be available for appeals? Will transcripts and recordings be part of the Case Management System?
Transcripts will still be available for appeals. Transcripts and recordings will most likely remain with the various recording systems that are in use by the courts today.
Right now, if someone wants to review a case from two years ago, it would take the clerk a long period of time (days or weeks) to retrieve the record. Will the record be available electronically in the new system and even though the record would be aged, might the opportunity exist to pull it electronically?
It is unlikely that old case files will be scanned due to the relatively low demand for such cases and the cost associated with scanning and indexing all closed cases. However, previously filed documents, i.e., pending or reopened, will be scanned and made electronic at the discretion of the courts (See Rule 20-102).
How would an attorney sign a motion?
Documents electronically filed shall indicate a typographical signature, e.g., "/s/ Jan Doe," or a facsimile signature, i.e., a scanned image. The filing party or attorney shall retain the physical copy of the document containing the original signatures until the action is concluded. The electronic filed document must include a signature block that contains the following typed information about the filing user:
- "/s/" typed in the space where the signature would otherwise appear
- Name
- Firm name if applicable
- Firm address
- E-mail address
- Telephone number
How does the private processor receive the service document? Will it be in a paper format?
Private processors will continue to receive paper documentation as they do today.
Is the Judiciary interfacing with the various sheriffs' offices?
Several local courts currently exchange information with sheriffs' offices. The Judiciary plans to keep those exchanges active from day one, as well as develop capabilities that will allow other sheriffs' offices to retrieve data from the Judiciary as those offices build the capability to capture and manage that data.
Who is overseeing the project?
The project is being overseen by Chief Judge Barbera and the Judiciary's Technology Oversight Board. From a tactical perspective, the project is being managed by the Administrative Office of the Courts.
Will I be able to submit exhibits during trial?
Any exhibits or evidence submitted during a court hearing, and approved by the Judge, will be scanned as soon as feasible.
How are you planning to deal with redacting and confidentiality?
It is the responsibility of the filer to redact any information before filing. If the filer believes that restricted information is necessary to be included, the filer shall state the reason and legal basis for including the restricted information, and file both an unredacted version and redacted version of the document (See Rule 20-201). E-filing functionality exists to flag a document as confidential and therefore shielded from public view.
Will an attorney be able to remotely view a case file?
Attorneys in a case will be given full access including remote access to all case records in that action subject to protective orders (See Rule 20-109).
What are the reasons for rejecting a filing?

As far as the ude garame is used, I think playing around with it will help you figure out when it can be useful. Some of the problems you will find with it is that you will be offering up both of you arms to someone who may be able to take advantage of it. If I have most of someones weight on top of me, I may use the "ude" to help turn them off of me, but I would normally use it when I'm on top to control an arm or corner of an opponent, to keep them from turning into me.

I knew there was a good chance that things would turn out this way, but I hoped for the best.
I don't know if Bullshido's irreverent environment is well suited to Mr. Arce's temperament. A communication gap brought about by the generation gap if you will. Honestly, I have a hard time with it myself sometimes. Then again, I would never say something online that I wouldn't say to someone's face.

Naturally regenerated paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.) is commonly removed from juvenile interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca [Beissn.] Franco) plantations in southern interior British Columbia, Canada, to increase conifer productivity and create a free-growing stand; however, this practice is expensive and contentious because of possible negative ecological impacts. One solution is to retain an optimal density of birch where growth gains of understory Douglas-fir are balanced against losses to Armillaria ostoyae (Romagn.) Herink and understory plant species diversity. We sought to find this optimal density by comparing four evenly applied birch density reduction treatments (0, 400, 1111, and 4444 retained birch stems ha−1) and an unthinned control (>7300 retained birch stems ha−1). The mortality rate of Douglas-fir due to Armillaria root disease increased non-significantly with thinning intensity. Mean diameter increment of surviving Douglas-fir improved the most where birch was completely removed, with little variation among intermediate thinning treatments. Height growth was unaffected by the thinning treatments. Diversity of cryptogams was significantly greater in the control than where all birch was removed. We suggest that the treatment with 4444 retained birch stems ha−1 provides the best balance for improving Douglas-fir growth while minimizing risk of increased Armillaria root disease and reduced understory plant diversity in young mixed stands. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Single-species planting of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) following clear-cut logging or wildfire has been common throughout interior British Columbia, Canada, but health problems with the species have been documented as it grows beyond the juvenile stage. We examined damage and stocking in twenty-seven 15- to 30-year-old lodgepole pine plantations that were previously declared free growing in the highly productive cedar-hemlock forests in southeastern British Columbia, where lodgepole pine is absent from many primary forests. In order to be free growing, stands must meet minimum tree density, height, damage and brush competition criteria as legislated by the Provincial government. Overall, 44 per cent of lodgepole pine trees had unacceptable damage (causing them to be rejected as crop trees), and as a direct result, one-third of the plantations were no longer defined as free growing because there were insufficient crop trees remaining. Natural regeneration of other tree species partially compensated for the unhealthy pine. Logistic regression and odds ratio analysis associated increasing risk of damage from western gall rust with increasing soil moisture, more northerly aspects and mechanical site preparation, and decreasing risk with pre-commercial thinning treatment. Risk of damage from snow and ice was associated with increasing mean annual precipitation, decreasing longitude and broadcast burning. Risk of bear damage was associated with increasing soil moisture, pre-commercial thinning treatment and broadcast burning. Based on our results, we recommend that single-species planting of lodgepole pine be curtailed in the Interior Cedar-Hemlock zone in southeastern British Columbia. © Institute of Chartered Foresters, 2015.

Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.) has been extensively planted throughout interior British Columbia, and as a result may be particularly susceptible to climate-induced changes in the range and severity of common damaging agents. We quantified the presence of 14 damaging agents in sixty-six 15-to 30-year-old pine stands. Hard pine stem rusts, primarily western gall rust, were present on every site. We used logistic regression to predict individual agent presence from climatic, location, site, and treatment factors and calculated odds ratios to evaluate whether risk to lodgepole pine increases or decreases as these factors change. Risk of damage from serious agents (stem disease, root disease, and mountain pine beetle) increased with increasing latitude; however, in several of these models, risk also increased as temperature of the coldest month got warmer. We also found evidence that increasing risk of damage from agents that are currently less serious (sequoia pitch moth, pine needle cast, and pine terminal weevil) was associated with warming and (or) increasingly dry climatic conditions. Given the predominance of lodgepole pine in northerly ecosystems and the prediction that climate change effects will increase with latitude, our results suggest the need to consider potential increases in damage from diseases and insects during silviculture planning and timber supply prediction.

Lodgepole pine is extensively planted across western Canada but little is known about development of these stands beyond the juvenile stage. We quantified stocking status and damage incidence in sixty-six 15- to 30-year-old lodgepole pine plantations that had previously been declared free-growing in the southern interior of British Columbia. The stands were located in six biogeoclimatic zones: Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSF), Montane Spruce (MS), Interior Cedar-Hemlock (ICH), Interior Douglas-fir (IDF), Sub-Boreal Spruce (SBS), and Sub-Boreal Pine-Spruce (SBPS). Freegrowing standards were no longer met on 27% of plantations, with the worst performance (70% no longer free-growing) in the Interior Cedar-Hemlock forests. Natural regeneration was common but it was half the size of lodgepole pine. Biotic damage, especially hard pine stem rusts, was the dominant factor reducing free-growing densities. Stands were at greater risk of reduced stocking where summer precipitation was higher or soil moisture regimes were wetter and where stands had been broadcast-burned prior to planting or received secondary treatments of brushing or pruning. Reforestation policies that encourage widespread planting of lodgepole pine, particularly in areas where lodgepole pine has limited natural occurrence such as in the ICH zone, should be reconsidered given that health problems are extensive and are expected to increase with climate change.

In southern British Columbia, juvenile trembling aspen is managed primarily as a competitor with conifers rather than for its ecological and economic value. As a result, brushing treatments have been applied on a widespread basis and this practice is likely to continue in the near future. Given the potential for climate change to affect our valuation of aspen, we require a better understanding of factors that affect its development, its competitive ability with conifers and its responses to brushing. We used data from 11 aspen management experiments to examine the influence of climate and site factors on aspen height, cover, and density in 17-24 year-old control stands and 9-16 years after manual cutting or girdling. Models explained 64% and 89% of the variation in aspen height in control and manually brushed stands, respectively, but were poor for girdling. Increasing length of the frost-free period was associated with increasing aspen height in control stands, whereas drier summer conditions on cool aspects favoured height growth of aspen suckers following manual cutting. We also examined the influence of climate and site factors on three simple competition indices that describe the height and density of aspen relative to conifer height, and then tested how well these indices predicted conifer growth. The density of aspen taller than conifers accounted for 39% of the variation in lodgepole pine diameter and the ratio of aspen/conifer height accounted for 33% of the variation in Douglas-fir height, suggesting that aspen competition was only moderately important to conifer growth. Our findings imply that aspen may become more productive with warmer summers provided it is not limited by summer moisture availability and that mixed stand management is a viable option in southern interior stands. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

By DAVID GREEN
It started out with something I saw on a website. The Guardian newspaper from London has a great blog with several different topics, including Word of Mouth—all about food.
Last month there was a photo of something very strange, but very interesting. It was black garlic, something I'd never heard of.
I mentioned it on the Observer website and a couple of days later I received an e-mail from Hazel Kelly of Frieda's specialty produce company in California. She offered to send a sample package of black garlic and I was quick to give her my mailing address.
The Guardian web page listed the 50 best gadgets and gourmet goodies as rated by the London Observer's food taster, Caroline Boucher.
She listed items such as ginger biscuits and ginger beer, spelt flakes and seaweed, liquorice, peeled chestnuts and salted caramels. She mentioned chili jellies—ginger and lime, in particular—and the middle eastern spices sumach and za'atar.
She likes pumpkin seed oil ("fabulous dark roasted oil with a deep flavor") and truffle oil ("a quick squirt from the pretty grey can adds class and pizzaz to pastas and casseroles").
And then there's black garlic, number six on the list of 50.
Boucher describes black garlic this way: "Terrifying to look at, but with a sweet and more rounded flavor than the white version when used in cooking."
I did some reading about this taste treat and learned that it's prized in Korea for its antioxidant and anti-fungal properties—double the amount as white garlic, and easier for the body to absorb.
I thought it was a different species of garlic, but I soon learned that it's regular white garlic that's been heated and then aged for a month. It's fermented.
It turns soft. And black, of course.
The Washington Post recently described black garlic as the next "it" ingredient. It's the big thing in hip restaurants. It's a cult hit in California's Bay area, etc.
My sample arrived late last week. The photo on the front of the package showed bulbs that look quite normal, although a little dark. Through a clear plastic window on the back side, a pair of bulbs could be seen and one of them looked as though it had a black smear.
I took the package home, cut it open and took a sniff. Oh. Wow. I don't like that. I took out a clove, pulled off a clove and opened it. It looked a little worrisome, but very interesting. Squishy, sort of pasty. And very black. It resembled a thick miso, which is made from fermented soy beans.
I ate the thing and wasn't all that pleased that I did. One of the companies that sells it suggests snacking on it like dried fruit. That's not for me.
I thought back to Ms. Boucher: Terrifying, but with a sweet, more rounded flavor. There definitely was a sweet flavor to it, with a slight taste of the terrifying. It's nothing like garlic.
The next day I decided to try it with dinner. I cut a clove into pieces and mixed it around in a bowl of rice and vegetables. Good stuff! I could get to really like this item. Especially free samples. I was beginning to feel like I was part of a cult hit.
I left it out of my second bowl of rice and vegetables and it tasted really bland. I should have fetched more of the black delight.
One description of black garlic that I read suggests it's "creamy, with a tangy flavor like balsamic." Maybe. I'm not yet able to put a tongue on that taste.
I'd like to share it with others, but it's been more like cajoling others to try it. The name itself lacks appeal to many people. Perhaps the marketing department should have done better.
At a Sunday meal with relatives today, I discovered that broccoli overshadowed the taste. The same with roasted potatoes and quiche. Some experimentation is in order.
Nobody was too excited about the stuff and my wife still refuses to eat any, so I don't think I have to worry about running out for a while. Those tangy little black cloves are all mine.

Man in the kitchen: Pitta to fill you with pride
As you will remember, last week I demonstrated how to make the perfect hummus. What do you mean you didn't read it? Well, ok, for those of you whose newsagent was having a family crisis or whose dogs were hungry for newsprint, here's a quick recap.
The secret to making perfect hummus is to pop the skins off the cooked chickpeas before you blend them with tehina, salt and lemon juice to achieve a perfect, creamy result.
So there you have your hummus in a nice dish, garnished with some olive oil and a little paprika, looking a picture. What you need is some pitta to dip into it. I don't know about you but I find supermarket pitta a constant disappointment. And while the Israeli-style ones on sale at kosher bakeries are lovely, we don't all live near one.
So to go with the hummus we are going to make our pitta. It's easy, there is very little efffort involved and the results are impressive.
You will need 500g of strong white flour — the breadmaking kind. Pour into a bowl with two teaspoons of sugar, a 7g sachet of dried yeast, a teaspoon of salt (though keep this separate from the yeast — they don't get on at all) and pour over 300 mls of warm water and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix and knead for 10 minutes until the dough becomes elastic. Then put in a bowl, cover and go and watch the football, have a shower, or do your tax returns and come back in an hour's time.
With a bit of luck the dough will have risen. At this point pre-heat the oven to the maximum setting. You then need to remove the dough from the bowl and knead again briefly. Cut off a cricket ball-sized piece of dough and roll it out flat. It can be an oval or round shape, or in my case a slightly wonky trapezium. Then, once the oven is really hot, pop your pitta onto the middle shelf. If you have a pizza stone this would be perfect, otherwise an oven dish will do. After five minutes or so the pizza should have puffed up like a feather pillow.
Turn it over and repeat on the other side. Then remove from the oven and bake another one or two. You should get six to eight pittas from the dough.
Leave to cool slightly then dip into your hummus and make a mental note never to buy the chewy cardboardy supermarket variety ever again.

"Where do you find all those fabulous vintage belts?"
"I would never have thought to put those two prints together!"
"Those nude heels make your legs look so long!"
I went to journalism school and learned the art of the interview, writing for "TV" versus "print," and how to edit without jump cuts. But what they didn't teach me in college was how to put together a bangin' outfit that shines brightly through the little box. Over my seven-plus years in the Hollyhood, I've had the pleasure of working with ridiculously talented stylists. With their help, I've managed to develop a style all my own. I hear from folks all over the globe who share especially kind words about my style choices. Each of these sentiments really means a lot! What you see and think when you turn on E! News matters to me. What you don't see when you turn on E! News is the woman behind the hangers. Lol.
Meet Amelian Kashiro. She's the wizard out scouring showrooms at all hours for fabulous duds. She's hauling bags and bags of clothes in and out of her car day after day in the heat. She's endlessly researching new, edgy, up-and-coming designers from London, Australia, Nigeria, from Timbuktu—if it means that I'll stand out from the rest. This girl DOES. NOT. STOP.
So just a gratitude blog post today. Thank you to Amelian for her generous, genuine devotion to turning me out show after show. And, thank you to all of YOU for the consistent positive feedback and fashion l.o.v.e.
Follow me on twitter (@iamcattsadler) to see the E! News Cattwalk each and every day; I list the designers daily. Make sure and follow Amelian too: @kashiro.
