Zilog Launches the Z382 High-Performance Datacom Controller for ISDN, HDSL, and High-Speed Analog Modems
Post a comment
Campbell, CA--March 24, 1997--Zilog Inc. (Campbell, CA) unveiled its newest data communication processor, the Z382, targeted for high-speed ISDN, HDSL, ADSL, and analog modems that support Internet access, video conferencing, remote LAN access, and computer telephony.
The 20-MHz Z380 architecture, featuring fast context switching via four register banks, allows the Z382 processor to rapidly respond to interrupts when switching among tasks.
Additional improvements include two cycles per instruction, 16 Mbytes of linear address space, 16/32-bit instruction set, and dynamic bus sizing. Z80/180 customers can easily port their existing designs to the code-compatible Z380 code without discarding their investment in code development.
The Z382 processor's eight advanced DMA channels are dynamically assignable to client peripherals on the device. Each DMA channel has a pointer into a memory-resident list structure that contains the locations and lengths of data buffers.
To support ADSL applications, the Z382 features three HDLC channels that can operate in HDLC, NRZI, HDLC, and transparent modes, and intelligent DMA controllers to support up to 10 Mbps full-duplex bandwidth.
The HDLC inputs and outputs can be routed to and from the GCI/SCIT or external TDM highway to interface with external transceivers, CODECS, and other devices for ISDN applications.
A full complement of Zilog and third-party support tools allow rapid hardware and software development and verification, speeding up time-to-market.
Zilog's $599 Z382 evaluation kit contains an evaluation board and a debug monitor program to download and debug executable code, and provide access to the device's registers and on-board memory. Application-specific circuits can be added through three expansion daughter-card sites to fully emulate the customer's end product.
Orion Instrument's in-circuit-emulator provides real-time tracing capability, display, and editing of Z382 code. Software support in the form of an assembler, linker, and C-Compiler is available from Production Languages Corp.
The 5V Z382 is available in a 144-pin QFP and a 144-pin VQFP package, and is priced in the $13 range in OEM high volumes.

Anyway, is there in fact a black shutter speed bulge in the FM2n's display, or is it a clear (not black) bulge with a thin black line on the edge, as is shown at the mir.com Web site (and, I believe, in the FM2n manual, too). This is important to me, as I would not be interested in a camera that has part of the field of view blacked out.

Summer Fun: 50 Ways & Then Some
We're gearing up for summer fun, how about you?
By Kate X Messer,
3:30PM, Mon. May 13, 2013
In anticipation of our upcoming annual Summer Fun issue (on stands this Thursday!), we're posting essays, memories, pics, and special online features to get you wrapped up in that summer feeling.
Ahhhh, "That Summer Feeling…"!
For some of us, summer is a song. For some, it's a family vacation. For some, a first kiss. For some, it's the season that affords our only respite from the workaday world.
This year, we took one song (not "That Summer Feeling," sorry), and invited a bunch of young writers (and a few grizzled vets) to apply one Summer Fun suggestion to it. Then, we invited these writers to wax on a bit more about these summer suggestions and post them here to the blog. All this week and next, we'll put up these extra online posts that wax on and off about the various recommendations that you'll see in print this coming Thursday.
First up, today, is Andy Campbell on Schlitterbahn… bahn… bahn (Warning: many of us will be writing odes to Schlitterbahn. We freaking love Schlitterbahn, no lie. But, fret not, there's a lot more, too.)
We're not going to reveal what song carried our Summer Fun 2013 issue just yet (it's an old and silly one), but we promise pages of cool suggestions to get your summer rolling.
50 to be exact.
Read more Summer Fun stories at austinchronicle.com/blogs. The Austin Chronicle's Summer Fun issue is on stands Thursday, May 16.

No SA Return For Khumalo
No SA Return For Khumalo
Former Bafana Bafana captain, Bongani Khumalo, will not be returning to South Africa, and is willing to fight for a place at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 26-year-old's future currently hangs in the balance, with reports in England suggesting that the defender had been transfer-listed by Spurs.
However, Khumalo's South African agent, Glyn Binkin, insisted that was not the case, something his representative in England, Matt Kleinman, has now reiterated.
Khumalo has experienced a difficult time in Europe since leaving SuperSport United, struggling to break into Tottenham's first team and spending most of his time out on loan.
It's believed that a whole host of South African clubs have shown an interest in landing the tall centre back, although his English representative has explained that isn't an option for him.
Speaking to Soccer-Laduma, Kleinman said, "Bongani aspires to keep playing in Europe, he's going to return to Spurs for pre-season and he's determined to fight for his place. We're looking to see if there are some options if it doesn't happen for him there this season, but he's comfortable with his situation."
Khumalo spent the latter part of last season out on loan with Greek giants, PAOK, putting in a number of good performances for the club towards the end of their campaign before leaving once his loan period expired.

Feb 29 (Reuters) - Bond insurer MBIA Inc reported a four-fold jump in quarterly profit, helped by an increase in net investment income and a fall in expenses.
The company's net income rose to $82 million, or 54 cents per share, in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, from $20 million, or 10 cents per share, a year earlier.
MBIA's shares have been under pressure due to uncertainty over exactly how much of its $4 billion exposure to Puerto Rico's debt is at risk as the U.S. commonwealth negotiates a restructuring deal with creditors.
Bill Fallon, CEO of the company's subsidiary operating the U.S. public finance insurance business, said in a statement on Monday that the unit had reached an important agreement with PREPA, Puerto Rico's power utility, which remains subject to certain conditions before it can be implemented.
Puerto Rico's House of Representatives earlier this month approved a bill aimed at overhauling PREPA, pushing the agency a step closer to finalizing a deal with creditors to restructure more than $8 billion in debt.
MBIA's revenue rose 38 percent to $297 million.
The company will host its earnings call on March 1.
Up to Monday's close of $6.71, MBIA's shares had fallen 24 percent in the past 12 months. (Reporting by Nikhil Subba in Bengaluru; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)

A BUS company has lost its licence after one of its drivers was caught using his own pass to fake journeys worth more £17,000.
Dickson of Erskine, which has been in business since 1992, has been disqualified from operating indefinitely following a Transport Scotland fraud probe.
Suspicions were aroused in September 2010 while the agency was carrying out a routine audit of reimbursement claims. Bus companies are entitled to claim back from the public purse the cost of all journeys taken by concessionary card holders, who travel for free.
Loading article content
However, auditors noticed that a single bus pass was being used to generate more than 20 journeys a day, all on routes operated on Dickson of Erskine.
The company operated only two bus services - the number 520 starting and ending at Bishopton train station, and the number 521 starting at Bishopton station and ending at Bridgewater shopping centre, Erskine.
The card was traced to employee Donald Rennie and had been used for 1282 journeys for the firm, generating a reimbursement claim of £17,323.94.
Mr Rennie admitted using the card while on duty and appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court in August last year.
However, Joan Aitken, Traffic Commissioner for Scotland, yesterday criticised company boss Stewart Dickson who, she said, was not open, transparent or co-operative during the Transport Scotland investigation.
She also noted that Mr Dickson had already been called to appear before two public inquiries in Edinburgh, in 2004 and in 2009, after concerns were raised over his vehicles' roadworthiness.
This resulted in a formal warning and a condition being attached to his operating licence in 2009.
In August last year, a government vehicle examiner identified shortcomings in relation to maintenance, record keeping and defect reporting.
In particular, the examiner highlighted the operator's high annual test fail rate which showed that, over the previous two years, eight vehicles had failed a test, none had passed and three were issued with minor repair notices.
Ruling on the case, Miss Aitken said "the successful operation of the [Concessionary Fares] scheme depends on the honesty of operators and their employees".
She added that, while Mr Dickson's failing were "by no means at the worst end of the spectrum of non-compliance", they had "fallen below the standards... required".
She concluded: "I consider that the appropriate period is an indefinite one for that would give Mr Dickson the opportunity to make an application to me at any time to remove the order of disqualification and give evidence to me."

- If you have a Ubuntu Live Disk with you, you can make use of that instead of waiting for Wubi to download the whole thing again. Wubi.exe is available on the CD itself.
- It is best to use real partitions in the long run.
- If Ubuntu doesn't boot, it is probably because Windows has not been shut down cleanly. If Wubi fails to start, boot into windows and run chkdsk /r from windows on the same drive where you have installed Ubuntu. Make sure you shutdown cleanly and then try to boot into Ubuntu again .
- Windows 7, Vista, XP are known to work fine in wubi. But Windows 98 might work but may give errors. Windows ME is not supported.

Question 1: How useful is a shield?
I mean I can see how if you time it right the shield stance move would absorb a good chunk of damage, and the charge stun move is okay. However does the extra defense added from it make a huge difference? because if you build toughness anyway it would seem to make more sense to use a two handed weapon either hammer for knockdowns, knockbacks and stuns or Greatsword for its high damage potential and mobility with its whirl attack, or hell even dual axes. I mean how much do you think the shield really contributes to survivability?
Question 2: If a shield is key to survivability, which weapon should be used with it?
Ok so following from the previous question. Lets say a shield does add significant toughness and in properly utilizing its stun charge and shield stance which weapon would work best with it. I mean since this discussion is based on high survival you would have to take into account damage is not a key variable, however every bit helps.
So building swords would lead to having to add condition damage into your gear selection. Bleeds would work since your damage is slowed and using shield stance your bleeds would continue to tick down, and if you choose to save your adrenaline for the regeneration trait in the toughness line, you still can stack bleeds with your standard attack loop. lastly about the sword is your ability to soak an attack and counter to apply a bleed, which would also add to survivability of this potential build.
If you lets say go with an axe for your main weapon you do get a nice cripple applying ranged attack and axe from my limited testing does the most straight applied damage due to its fast and multiple hits, and with your whirling attack you can stack vulnerability which does add to damage, and since we are building for survival every bit helps.
Lastly if you go mace. Mace has the stuns that complement the shield and probably has the most control in the 1H weapon choices. However due to its speed it is probably the lowest damage of the three, however if you choose to take the +5% damage to weakened targets in addition to the mace ability in the same tree that gives +10% damage to weakened targets that is a total of +15% damage simply looping your main attack which the 3rd strike applies weakness. In addition similar to the sword you have your riposte type ability that guards and soaks one attack and counter strikes.
Question 3: Which stats in terms of dungeon running do you feel adds highest to survival?
I have read the post by paradiselight on the forum doing the math for toughness vs vitality.
and he does leave some variables up in terms of +healing and its role in survival. So following all his math with general theory crafting which stat combinations are best for survival in PVE dungeon running.
Now some people may say, toughness & vitality are the best combination for survival. However Warriors have a lot of ways to regenerating health and that does make the idea of stacking +healing a viable option.
Take in mind this is highly based on your spec, but lets just say that warriors have, besides they basic healing move have three other ways to heal themselves and allies. They have their regeneration ability based on if you save your adrenaline, you have banners which can be made to have a regeneration while active, and lastly you have shouts which have can be made to spam since they have low CDs and you can have up to three in addition to your primary heal.
So honestly if you wanted to build pure survival and sort of neglecting damage you would want to build +healing, +vitality & +toughness. However that does not exist yet (as far as I know). Now I in no way know all the combination variables on armor as I have seen only a small amount of the lvl 80 gear available. However in general they come as followed.
Low grade blue & green gear tends to have only 1 survival stat (with exception to cleric)
Carrion (for sword bleeds) [+condition damage, +power, +vitality]
Cleric [+healing, +power, +toughness]
Knight [+toughness, +power, +precision]
Valkyrie [+power, +vitality, +crit damage]
So Cleric gear would be ideal for a high defensive build, however that leaves out vitality which in a survival build I highly doubt can be ignored.
Then some of the rare sets which can be bought with gold have two defensive stats. Gear from the Vigial in their base can be bought for a couple gold each and that has
Vigial [+power, +toughness, +vitality]
Now that seems really good but then you have no +healing, which we previously agreed benefits a warrior greatly because of they various ways to heal themselves and their allies.
So this is a collection of information I have found and trying to wrap my head around it I know this varies based on individual preference and play style however I really felt like I should compile this information into a single post for first off the hope that someone can benefit from my rambling, and second to start hopefully a discussion from the community about some of my questions posed and what your opinions are.
Anyway please comments below if you have anything to add, or to correct something I may be wrong about or if you just have a question. I am looking forward to your responses and thank you if you made it this far down my rambling!

Planning on using tubes - anyone out there doing this and will they pop at 100psi, or am I just being silly?
Yours suspecting there's only one way to find out
Planning on using tubes - anyone out there doing this and will they pop at 100psi, or am I just being silly?
Yours suspecting there's only one way to find out
Have a look at Sheldon Brown and Schwalbe. There's a table out there that shows tire size against rim width. I run Stan Arch rims on my cross/commuter. It's a 19mm internal rim. The narrowest tyre I can run is 28mm.
What rims are you running?
Hi Onzadog - many thanks for the note - I'm running the Olympics - all I'm seeking to understand is whether or not I need to strip my existing road wheels to reuse the CXP rims OR - just flog them on and use the MTB bits n pieces I've got lying about. i'm also after a 36 hole disc hub - if you know of such a thing lying about.....
The Olympics are too narrow for 23mm tyres. As for the disc hub, pretty sure Hope will have something.
I think you mean the Olympics are too wide to run a 23c tyre?
I think anything narrower than a 30 will be pushing it.
I've managed to run Conti Grand Prix 26" 1 1/8 tyres on my Stans Crest rims with no problems.
Why 23mm tyres?
The other thing to bear in mind is that a lot of MTB rims aren't designed to run at high pressures. Magic and DT certainly have upper pressure limits on some of their rims. I've seen a couple of MTB rims split when run at high pressures.
My 717's are fine with Schwalbe durano's at 110 psi.
Gee, you're right. Well spotted.
I've b been using 25mm tyres on 29er Crests for ages. Stans confirmed that the pressure limits on the rim only apply to tubeless setups.
They're a tight fit though, I'd also say why 23 and not 25/28?
Crests 29er with 28mm Marathon plus here and up to 100 psi. No problems but sods to get on and off!
I've run 23c tyres on my Ztr Arch no probs,
They are only 1.4mm wider than the rims on my road bike.
(I used 23c because its what I had, having a choice I'd go bigger)
Sheldons advice on this one appears a bit out.
I tried 28mm Contis on Mavic A119s and got loads of flats. Went back to 35s and no problem.
You might get lucky, but I would doubt it.
If you have some lying around why not just give it a go?

Here are some baby quilts that I have recently finished.
These two are different sizes but I used the same blocks. The fabric is "Sitting Pretty" by Riley Blake.
Pink flannel back.
Pink regular fabric back.
Baby boy quilt.
This fabric had a panel that I used for both ends of the quilt.
Red flannel back.
My ugly 1600 race quilt, quilted and bound.
Yellow backing. This one is going to charity, although as I was hand-sewing on the binding, it started to grow on me.

Founding member of Cuban exile flight group dies
MIAMI — A founding member of the Cuban exile group that piloted planes over the Florida Straits in the 1990s in search of rafters fleeing Cuba has died. The Miami Herald reports Brothers to the Rescue's Maggie Schuss died of lung cancer Monday at a Miami hospital. Brothers also dropped antigovernment leaflets over Cuba until its military shot down two of its planes in 1996, killing four members. Cuba said the planes had invaded the island's airspace. Brothers to the Rescue maintained they were over international waters. Schuss was married to Brothers co-founder William Schuss and worked as a legal secretary. She served as a spokeswoman for the group and dropped leaflets during some flights.A mass is scheduled for Friday at St. Peter's and Paul Church in Miami.

I've been to Bali once before and stayed in the Ubud area just to get a sense of the island but I fell in love with it and always wanted to go back.
Can you suggest a ten day itinerary where I'd be able to see all that Bali has to offer: the lakes and the temples around them, beaches, rice fields and any spots with great natural beauty.
I was only there for two days on my previous visit, so I was able to splurge and stay at the Four Seasons Sayan, which was absolutely stunning.
Though this time around, my budget is roughly $200 a night. I wish I could find a place that has private plunge pools for that rate but I don't think that's possible unless I find a small private villa, which I wouldn't prefer given the fact that I wouldn't have my own car, which makes hotels a much more attractive option in terms of convenience and access to dining options, or even room service if I were exhausted at the end of the day.
Should I stay in one base for the entire duration of the trip or should I stay in two or three different locations? I'm thinking three days in Kuta or Jimbaran bay, then spend the remainder some where more central in the island. Should I stay in Kuta or in Jimbaran for the first part of the trip? I'm not a big fan of nightlife in general but I thought I'd stay in Kuta for a couple of days just to take a few dips in the ocean and to see the urban/cosmopolitan side of Bali before I go into the more intensive cultural experice deep inside Bali.
Any suggestions, even small ones, would be greatly appreciated!!

Ten days in Bali this September: Want to see the entire Island
I've been to Bali once before and stayed in the Ubud area just to get a sense of the island but I fell in love with it and always wanted to go back.
Report Abuse
If you do, in fact, "Want to see the entire Island" in 10 days then you'll really need to keep moving as you cannot see the whole thing from a central place. Choose maybe 3 areas such as, say Kuta (I wouldn't waste the time personally), Ubud (I like Penestanen), north coast. Hiring a taxi is the best way to see the most area and your accommodation can make arrangements whether you rent a house or stay in hotels. If you really you want to cover as much ground as possible I'd stay in hotels and keep moving.
My preference when I'm in Bali is to stay in 1 place, a house in the paddies, and move as little as possible.
Report Abuse
I'd say stay in two different places. You can see many different areas of the island, but don't have the illusion that you will "be able to see all that Bali has to offer: the lakes and the temples around them, beaches, rice fields and any spots with great natural beauty." Part of what you have to do to experience some of what Bali has to offer is to slow down and be in the here and now. Driving all over the island won't get you that. My first visit to Bali was two weeks and we toured every other day, and saw some of each major areas. I'd say stay in/near Ubud for half of your time and choose a beach area, I like Sanur. The two beach areas I'd avoid are Kuta (lots of drunk adolescents) and Nusa Dua (for people who don't really want to be in Indonesia).
Hire a car and driver. Do your research (get a good guidebook) and decide particular areas you want to see. A good driver can also take you to villages that are having temple celebrations, a must-see experience, IMO. And don't spend all of your time on the road. Savor the places you choose to visit, and save some for next trip.

I agree with Kathie. We used a guide-driver last year, Putu, and will use him again this Dec. He is quite good and not too gabby but his English is excellent. He could do the entire touring and really getto know what you like and do not like by just telling him. Just say you want just a little of the touristy stuff but mostly off the beaten path. He charges about $550,000 or ~$65/day but I am sure you can get him for less even if you only if you use him for 6-8 of the days and hang at your hotel most of the other days. You can locate a number of very nice hotels for $200-$225 such as the Kominika Resort on Monkey Forest Road not the old one in-town which is very nice and lovely to pass a day or two at and go out for dinner by taxi ($5).
Hope this helps.
Report Abuse
I've decided to skip Kuta as per Mme Pedru's and Kathie's advice; it doesn't seem like it's worth flying half way around the world to visit.
Now I'm thinking three days in Sanur, then spend at around four or five days in the Ubud area, from which I would do a couple of day trips.
The Komaneka resort looks fantastic though, unfortunately, it's sold out during my dates, but thankfully there are comparable resorts in the area within the same rate range.
Do you think I should spend three days or so on the North coast of Bali? it seems to be one of the less explored parts of the island and I cant help but wonder whether I'd miss out if I don't visit that area.
Thanks so much guys for all your input!
Report Abuse
I haven't been to the north coast but it seems to be favored by those who go for extended visits, is possibly too far off the beaten path and isn't easy to get to. I have been to the Amed area on the east coast and can't say I recommend it. But for 10 days why not just do your coast thing then settle in and around Ubud, as much as you can settle for so short a visit.
Report Abuse
I don't know if it is worth spending three days on the norther coast. Friends who have done it have not enjoyed that part of the island as much as other parts. Obviously, there are individual differences. If it were me - and it isn't - I'd divide my time between Sanur and the Ubud area. Not moving hotels again gives you more time to savor.
Report Abuse
What are the dates of your trip? Holidays and busy travel periods can strongly impact availability.
For ten days I would agreee -- three places maximum, some beach, some Ubud town, some more rural area north of Ubud.
The northwest and northeast coasts offer some fairly good diving and snorkling, but otherwise I'd concentrate on the southern tip for beach culture and Ubud for culture-culture.
My beach preference would be Seminyak, a miles long, wide sandy bigwave beach with glorious sunsets and lots of activity. It's great for long walks and within walking distance to many many restaurants, shops, spas. There are quite a few moderately priced places to stay, but prices vary (as they do all over Bali) by month.
I'd recommend The Colony which is a small, friendly, stylish place near Petitenget temple and beach. Petitenget is an important seatemple and there are ceremonies on the beach most every day.
After that you might spend a few days in the town the of Ubud and a few days in a more remote area, but still inland, like Munduk. Alam Sari is charming and very lowkey and offers a lot of culture and nature activities.
Report Abuse
Kuta is a place you drive through though you will hasve tons of traffic. It has little personality but lots of trinket shops with what seemed like higher prices than inland except for Ubad proper where the prices for bertter souviners were high as well.

The FBI believes the man who robbed an Athens bank yesterday morning is the so-called "Crown Royal" bandit who has robbed more than 30 banks in two states over the past 11 years.
Early on in the robber's spree, he would order tellers to put money in a purple cloth bag that bottles of Crown Royal whiskey are sold in, FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett said this afternoon.
"That's how he earned his moniker," Emmett said.
Authorities won't say how they linked the heist at Regions Bank on Prince Avenue to the serial bank robber. The robber wore a mask in all of the robberies, including the one in Athens.
"We certainly want this person in custody and do not want to give out any information that might jeopardize his apprehension," Emmett said.
The Crown Royal bandit's first known bank robbery was in Atlanta in May 1997, according to Emmett, who said the robber has since struck banks across northern Georgia and Tennessee.
The gunman who robbed Regions Bank yesterday made the teller fill a canvas bag, Athens-Clarke police said.
VIDEO: Watch video from the scene following the bank robbery:
He told the teller, "You took my house, now I'm going to take your money," and warned her that if she activated an alarm, an accomplice outside the bank would shoot customers, police said.
Emmett couldn't recall if the Crown Royal bandit ever fired a weapon during a robbery, but he said the man is considered armed and dangerous.
"Any time a person goes into a bank with a weapon and points it at an employee, that's an egregious crime and moves it to the top of our stack in terms of priority," Emmett said.
Witnesses described the man who robbed Regions Bank as white, between 40 and 50 years old, between 5 feet, 9 inches and 6 feet tall, and with medium-length sandy blonde hair.
He was wearing a red and blue striped shirt and blue jeans and carried an umbrella, police said.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the local robbery, and calls may be made to the group's confidential tip line at (706) 613-3342.
The FBI also is offering a reward for the capture of the Crown Royal bandit, but are not disclosing the amount. The number of the Atlanta office of the FBI is (404) 679-9000.

A caregiver was arrested in Terra Linda on allegations she repeatedly slapped a 63-year-old client who was in a wheelchair at the mall.
Tuyet Ngoc Tang, 56, of Rohnert Park was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of cruelty to a dependent adult. Her bail was set at $25,000.
The investigation began at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Northgate mall, where witnesses reported a woman being slapped in the head by someone who was pushing her in a wheelchair, said San Rafael police Sgt. Mike Vergara.
Police arrived and identified the suspect as Tang, the woman's caregiver. Police watched surveillance video provided by mall security and then arrested Tang.
The woman in the wheelchair showed no obvious signs of injury and did not require medical treatment, Vergara said.
On Friday, the district attorney's office filed three misdemeanor charges of endangering an elder or dependent adult. One was for the incident on Thursday, and the others were for two other alleged incidents last month.
Tang is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Marin Superior Court.

One day after reports the Jets will look to trade Mark Sanchez in the offseason, coach Rex Ryan's response was: "News to me.''
"That didn't come from me,'' Ryan said Thursday. "Anything that is dealing with the future past Buffalo [the Jets' opponent in their season finale] will be handled after that. All those decisions will be handled then. It's not something that I'm concerned with now. We have two games left. Right now, it's about these two games for me.''
When it was noted he had not given Sanchez a "ringing endorsement,'' Ryan said: "I'm not sure whether it's not a ringing endorsement or whatever, [but] I have absolutely zero focus on that right now. My focus is on these two games we have left.
"Everyone knows how I've been a supporter of Mark Sanchez. He has the skill set of being a good quarterback in this league and we've won a lot of game with him, but that's for another day.''
Ryan laughed when he was asked about Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who some are speculating might be on his radar as an option in 2013.
"Yeah, I think I'll focus on the players we have on this roster instead of somebody else's players,'' Ryan said.
Sources close to Ryan say he has zero interest in bringing Vick in, because he does not believe a running quarterback can stay healthy, which the injury-prone Vick has proven in his career.
* Greg McElroy is the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chargers, but Ryan continued to decline to name his backup.
"When I'm ready to let you guys know I'll let you know,'' he said.
Ryan does not like to have three quarterbacks active on game day and has not done that once this season, so he's in a sticky spot. It will be a colossal insult to whomever is not in uniform.
For Sanchez, who has started all but one game (because of injury) since his rookie year in 2009, it would be a massive fall from grace. For Tim Tebow, who was supposed to be the big Wildcat offensive weapon, it would provide a new low to a season that has already been a terrible disappointment.
* Among the players who did not practice yesterday were TE Dustin Keller (ankle), CB Aaron Berry (hamstring), WR Chaz Schilens (calf) and S LaRon Landry (heel).
Ryan sounded pessimistic about Keller's chance to play.
"The more he doesn't practice, the less it looks [like he'll play]," Ryan said. "I'm not sure. This would be second day he doesn't practice, so it doesn't look as good as I had hoped.''
* Right guard Brandon Moore was been named the Jets' 2012 Walter Payton Man of the Year. The award is given annually to an NFL player who demonstrates a commitment to community service as well as overall excellence on the field. Keller was the team's choice in 2011.
"It's an honor to be recognized for what my wife and I do in the community,'' Moore said.
* Safety Yeremiah Bell is scheduled to become a free agent after the season and is not sure what will happen, but said he would like to remain a Jet.
"No question, I'd like to come back definitely just to have the opportunity to see what we can do with guys healthy and not some of our star guys hurt," Bell said. "It's been a crazy year, but I'd love to come back here and play."
Bell, 34, signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Jets as a free agent and has been one of the team's bright spots this season, solidifying the safety position along with Landry, having made 83 tackles.
* Shortly after an afternoon report quoted LB Bart Scott, who's due to make $6.9 million in 2013, saying he would be willing to remain with the team next season for a significant pay cut, Scott said he never said that to the reporter.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--South Korea's LG Chem plans to feed liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) into its Daesan-based aromatics unit for 15 days from the second-half of March, a company source said on Friday.
LPG will account for about 10% of the total mixed feed with naphtha during the period, the source said.
The aromatics plant is able to produce 260,000 tonnes/year of benzene and 54,000 tonnes/year of toluene, he said.
Despite the lighter feedstock, the plant's overall aromatics output will not fall, the source said, adding that more pygas will be used for aromatics extraction to offset any production shortfall from using a lighter feed.
LG Chem also operates an aromatics facility in Yeosu that can produce 240,000 tonnes/year of benzene and 96,000 tonnes/year of toluene.
Both the Daesan and Yeosu aromatics facilities are currently running at full capacity, the source said.

The strong, fast, scoring, and defensive PG's are what this league consist of now, which is why we got K Low.

Kashmir unrest Modi government's big political failure: Manish Sisodia
New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday termed the present unrest in Kashmir valley as a "big political failure" of the BJP-led central government and said the Centre and state government have to take steps to build trust among people.
In an interview to CNN News 18 channel, the Aam Aadmi Party leader also rubbished speculation that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could be the party's chief ministerial candidate for the Punjab assembly elections next year.
Sisodia condemned Sunday's terror strike in Kashmir's Uri town in which 18 soldiers were killed and said it deserves a befitting reply.
"Violence and terrorism deserve a befitting reply, but that reply should be in action and not just words. At the same time, you also need to solve the internal crisis," he said.
"I have covered Kashmir as a journalist, but so much trouble has seldom been witnessed. The trouble has been there since 1989, and 26 years later we are witnessing movements like then (1989). That is a big political failure," Sisodia added.
A total of 89 people have been killed and over 11,500 injured in the ongoing unrest in the Kashmir Valley that started on July 9 following the killing of militant Burhan Wani.
Sisodia said the Prime Minister should focus on action instead of indulging in "politics of show off".
"As a nation we are losing confidence, it happened in Uri, it can happen in Delhi and other places. This is a big failure and the Centre is responsible for this failure. Modi believes in the politics of show off, when it comes to show off, Modi is a big brand. But where are the nitty gritty?"
"Having biryani will not solve the Kashmir (problem) or India-Pakistan relationship," he said.
The AAP leader said both the Jammu and Kashmir and the central government will have to undertake measures that build trust. "They will have to embrace the people, there needs to be a mutual sense of belonging, which has been destroyed…All political parties should discuss the issue, the Prime Minister should talk to all, discuss what needs to be done in Kashmir, discuss the Pakistan issue," he said.
"Modi is the Prime Minister of my country, we belong to different political parties, but if he does anything for the sake of the country, then we will support him," Sisodia added.
To a question on speculation that Kejriwal may be Punjab's chief ministerial candidate, Sisodia said: "The problem is the media has now taken up the job of deciding what should be our ideals and principles. Who will be our leader, what would will be his post, the media at once starts speculating. This is not fair."
"This is nothing but baseless speculations, media should not put their words in our mouth," he said.

In Jindal's Louisiana, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff is forced to raid the LSU Board Of Supervisors to secure public records regarding the process for choosing the latest LSU president.
But, in the 21st century crony capitalism twist, Jindal's BOS doesn't have the records! Why, the private consultant that did all the Board's work has them:
Two East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's deputies escorted by LSU police served the LSU Board of Supervisors office this afternoon with a subpoena demanding that it turn over all records related to its presidential search. The deputies arrived on campus around 2:45 p.m., but left empty handed. "We had nothing to give them," says Robert Rasmussen, assistant vice president for system relations. "As far as we know, they [the documents] are in the possession of Bill Funk, the search consultant in Dallas." 19th Judicial District Court Judge Janice Clark issued the subpoena earlier today.
The Jindal transparency charade continues.

Spicer, who serves as pastor at Concord United Methodist Church, said she�s been pleasantly surprised by how people have pitched in to get the project going.
The city installed a water line, and corporate sponsors have agreed to pay the water bills.
A local farmer plowed the property for free, and a toolshed has been donated.
�People are just donating their time and efforts,� she said.
Spicer said the committee in charge is ready to start building raised beds in time for summer vegetables.
People who want to plant can lease a 22- by 4-foot space for $50 per growing season, which starts in April and runs �until they can�t plant anything else,� she said.
Spicer said the committee hopes to entice some businesses to lease space. Those plots could be gifted to employees or the community.
If a business chooses to donate space, volunteers will grow the food and give it to appropriate recipients, Spicer said.
The city has been involved in the process. A five-year plan has been drawn up, and grant money is expected soon, Spicer said.
If the grand plan is cultivated, the Bessemer City Community Garden will become a place for nourishment, fellowship and education, she said.
Spicer said she�s a believer in growing her own food. She and her husband have a successful garden at home.
When she met St. Andrew�s Episcopal Church member Jim Long, the two clicked.
�I have always had a passion for feeding people, and he�s always had a passion for community gardens so we started working on this project together,� she said.
According to Spicer, the city has become involved, along with the faith community, individuals, nonprofits and local merchants.
�This is something that so many people have had a hand in,� she said.

Edward Said used to joke that he was ìthe last Jewish intellectualî. For a Christian Palestinian New Yorker who made his name with Orientalism, a fierce polemic against western cultural imperialism, this was some claim. Yet four decades of book titles – The Politics of Dispossession; Out of Place: A Memoir; Reflections on Exile – indicate that his leitmotif was precisely the one that haunted the diaspora intelligentsia before the establishment of Israel.
Uniquely, Said brought themes of marginality and powerlessness in art, along with the Jewish tradition of cultural yearning, to bear on late 20th- century Palestinian experience. He believed that ìthe quintessential intellectual hates all systems, whether on our side or theirs, with equal distaste.î But the question of exile still courses through the posthumous, apparently apolitical On Late Style, thus confirming the story of his lifeÃs work – that although art cannot be enlisted for political ends, nor can it be separated from political currents.
On Late Style is brilliant cultural criticism from a writer whose perfect-pitch perception across all arts and national boundaries – Euripides, Glenn Gould, Genet, Visconti are among the subjects – was always conditioned by his outsider status. Dying, of course, makes outsiders of us all. And it is the awareness of death waiting, altering the quality of time like a change in the light, which shapes both tone and subject here. In September 2003, days after telling his wife that the book was nearly complete, Said died; it has been elegantly edited by his friend Michael Wood. That On Late Style remained unfinished, however, seems somehow essential to its lovely, urgent art-meets-life truthfulness, for SaidÃs originality here is to explore ìartistic lateness not as harmony and resolution but as intransigence, difficulty and unresolved contradictionî.
We tend to think of late style as ìthe reaching of a new level of expressionî, as Hermann Broch put it. He cited the penetrating light dissolving human flesh and soul in late Titian; the painted metaphysics of Rembrandt and Goya; The Art of Fugue ìwhich Bach in his old age dictated without having a concrete instrument in mind, because what he had to express was either beneath or beyond the audible surface of musicî.
Broch, in exile in the US and longing for European culture, was writing in the 1940s. Said, revisiting the subject in a 21st century that courts aesthetic disharmony, focuses instead on late styles rooted in ìnon-serene tensionî. The last plays of angry old man Ibsen ìtamper irrevocably with the possibility of closure and leave the audience more perplexed and unsettled than beforeî. Schoenberg prolongs ìthe irreconcilabilities, negations and immobilities of the late Beethovenî, who exudes ìa new sense of private striving and instabilityî after the confident, gregarious Eroica.
SaidÃs interpretative genius always rested on a flair for combining critical theory with passionately enthusiastic close reading. What interests him especially about the modernists is how anarchic, out-of-time artists play off late style against ìthe great totalising code of 20th-century western culture and cultural diffusion: the music business, publishing, film, journalismî. This subversive individuality and lingering on the old order unites figures in diverse media, from Richard Strauss (Four Last Songs represent the ìtheatricalisation of an old man waiting for deathî) to Giuseppe di Lampedusa in The Leopard and Luchino Visconti in the screen version of that book and films redolent of historical opera such as Death in Venice. In old age in postwar Europe, each created anachronistic, widely popular modernist classics which turn on the death of tradition as well as personal mortality. Composed when Strauss was an official of the Third Reich, Capriccio is about ìsustaining a traditional line and yet also allowing us to hear the interruptions of the outside worldî. Without a shred of self-pity, Lampedusa and Visconti, both aristocrat-artists exiled from their own class, record degenerate old Europe disappearing within a new, crass middle-class world.
Dazzlingly, Said shows how such works depend on an emotional profligacy and glorious extravagance achieved through two privileges of maturity: an absolute refusal to be embarrassed; and a supreme, distilled mastery of form, thanks to a lifetime of technical effort. Risk, resistance and a refusal to sit easily with either mass consumer or avant-garde tastes characterise these works. For each artist it was as if ìhaving achieved age, they want none of its serenity [or] amiability or official ingratiation. Yet in none of them is mortality denied or evaded, but keeps coming back as the theme of death which undermines, and elevates their uses of language and aesthetic.î There is no better description of this gracefully unquiet, probing and wise book: SaidÃs own elegiac masterpiece of late style.

Map of Springs Preserve
Springs Preserve
333 S. Valley View Blvd., Las Vegas
Boy Scouts and their families are descending on Springs Preserve in a quest -- a ScoutQuest -- for merit badges and scouting spirit.
ScoutQuest, which began Friday and continues Saturday, gives Southern Nevada Scouts the opportunity to earn merit badges, participate in activities and tour Springs Preserve. Admission is $2.50 for Scouts in uniform. Family members and friends accompanying Scouts receive $2 off the regular price of admission, which is $9.95 for adults and $4.95 for children.
Twenty-two merit badge classes are being offered throughout the two-day event, ranging from archaeology to veterinary medicine. Registration for the classes closed Wednesday.
"Saturday's exhibits are open to everybody, it's not just for Scouts," said Catherine Muir, who is organizing the merit badge classes. Springs Preserve staffers and outside counselors are teaching the courses, which cost $15 to enroll in. No walk-in admissions are being accepted for the classes.
Muir said about 20 different exhibits on various topics will be open for viewing.
The first ScoutQuest was held earlier this year, in January. A third iteration, planned for September 2011, is already in the works, Muir said.
Springs Preserve is at 333 S. Valley View Blvd., across from the Meadows Mall.

A SAMBA-themed flash mob took place in central Oxford on Saturday to mark International Women's Day.
The spectacle was organised as part of the Oxford International Women's Festival, which runs until Sunday.
A group of campaigners carried an effigy of a suffragette into Broad Street, where local carnival troupe Sol Samba provided Latin rhythms.
Debbie Hollingsworth, the festival's co-ordinator, said: "The point of the festival is to celebrate what we have achieved over the years. But it is also raising awareness of some of the struggles that are still going on."
The event followed a march, the previous night, which highlighted the issue of violence against women.
The Reclaim the Night rally, pictured, saw protesters walk from East Oxford Community Centre to Oxford Town Hall.

The problem, says Dowell, is that while making India and Pakistan pay a heavy price might discourage other countries from testing nukes, "it's in nobody's interests to isolate nuclear states, and it's dangerous to destabilize them with sanctions." Which means that although they're unlikely ever to be welcomed through the front door, India and Pakistan may eventually sneak into the clubhouse anyway.
Big Five Snub India, Pakistan
What does a guy have to do to get into the Nuclear Club? New Delhi and Islamabad may well ask, after the Big Five today ruled that despite testing atomic weapons, India and Pakistan "do not have the status of nuclear weapons states." Meeting in Geneva, the U.S., Russia, Britain, France and China agreed to mount a coordinated campaign against further escalation in the Indo-Pakistani arms race, but refused to recognize the countries as nuclear states in terms of the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which reserves that status for the Five. TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell believes it's an untenable position: "The Five are trying to get India to sign the NPT, which they'll never do if their nuclear status isn't recognized," says Dowell. "And that negates the purpose of the treaty -- to regulate the world's nuclear weapons."

"Game of Thrones": Top 10 worst things Joffrey has done
If you're a "Game of Thrones" fan, you hardly need reminding that Joffrey – king or not – is just about the most wretched character that George R.R. Martin has ever dreamed up. However, because Joffrey's bad deeds are so numerous, you might have trouble keeping track of them all. So while HBO pauses between Seasons 3 and 4, here's a quick recap of the worst of all of Joffrey's very bad deeds.
1 of 10
1. Emulating the Queen of Hearts
I immediately knew that there would be no redemption for this character when he ordered the beheading of Ned Stark. Particularly because – before doing so – he made Sansa believe that he would let her father go, alive.

Ledley tips Bluebirds to soar
Joe Ledley has admitted to Sky Sports News that the expectation level at Cardiff has risen considerably.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 04/08/08 5:59pm
Joe Ledley has admitted to Sky Sports News that the expectation level at Cardiff has risen considerably in the last 12 months.
The Bluebirds midfielder helped the Welsh outfit to the FA Cup final last season, scoring the winner in a last four contest with Barnsley, and accepts that their Wembley heroics have piled the pressure on the squad ahead of the 2008/09 campaign.
Anything less than a top six finish is likely to be deemed a failure at Ninian Park, but Ledley is confident that Dave Jones' men can mount a sustained promotion bid next term.
"It was incredible last season to get into the FA Cup final, so I think everyone here is expecting to get promoted or get into the play offs - I think that what's expected," the Wales international told Sky Sports News.
"I think everyone's going to be looking at us and expect things from us this season.
"It's going to be difficult because in the Championship anyone can beat anyone, it's going to be hard, but we've just got to keep doing what we're doing.
"We've had a good pre-season."

24 Hour Fitness Was Voted the Best Gym of 2007
24 Hour Best 2007
Whether it is a boutique gym or hotel gym, we all have our favorite gyms to head to.
You guys voted 24 Hour Fitness as the best gym of 2007. The YMCA was right up there, so it really was the battle of the large corporate gym versus the small community gym. 24 Hour is appealing due to its hours of operation and number of clubs nationwide, while the Y is kid friendly and cost effective.
Furthermore, since it was impossible to have every small gym in every small town across America, I couldn't have them as options but most of you nominated your own local gym as the best gym of 2007. Regardless of where you go, or if you even go to a gym, exercise is the key here so congrats to anyone who exercises at a gym or not.

CALGARY - From the outside, the Argonauts 2010 season was a success.
The Boatmen, under the enthusiastic guidance of head coach Jim Barker, won nine games in the regular season before surprising everyone but themselves with a road victory against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East semifinal. A blowout loss to the Montreal Alouettes followed, but for all intents, the Argos 10-10 record including the playoffs was an indication that good things were happening.
Players being players, however, none look back on last season and consider it successful, because the Argos did not win their last game. Sure, the team collectively took steps forward, but with no Grey Cup in the end, there was disappointment in the locker room.
In 2011, nothing short of lifting the Cup on Nov. 27 in Vancouver will viewed as something good.
The question is, can the Argos make that jump, which would complete a major turnaround in just two years?
I think right now everybody is overlooking us, and that is the question that everybody has on their mind, veteran slotback Jeremaine Copeland said.
Are we going to be able to go to the next level? Thats one thing that we are going to come out and try to prove.
Anything less (than the Grey Cup) would be uncivilized. Last year we had a great year and we fell short. People said we had a great season, but we fell short of our goal. If any team talks about being satisfied with second, you dont need to be here.
If the Argos are to experience a lot of happy moments this season, its going to boil down to the passing game.
The defence allowed 442 points a year ago, the fewest in the Canadian Football League. As it has in the past, the Argos defence will give you the yards 381 a game on average but wont let you in the end zone. Only Calgary and Hamilton allowed less than the 42 touchdowns the Argos gave up.
Most of the critical pieces of the defence returned. Tackle Claude Wroten and cornerback Sean Smalls are the only two players who were not regular starters last season.
Special teams not only featured the best returner in the league, Chad Owens, who was a scoring threat every time he fielded the football, but also employed enough tricky wrinkles that the opposition usually had no idea what was coming. Often, the Argos turned fake punts into first downs.
On offence, Cory Boyd ran over everyone and would have been the rushing king if not for concussion troubles that prevented him from playing in every game.
Without a passing game Copeland led Argos receivers with 639 yards the Argos still managed to win half of their games.
If the defence can perform as consistently as it did, and theres production from special teams again, it falls to the offence to hold up its end of the bargain.
Quarterback Cleo Lemon was a poised man through training camp and the pre-season, but theres a large difference between playing against second-rate defences and those, as the players like to say, when the lights go on.
Simply put, if the defence and special teams are there, any success the Argos will have in 2011 hinges on Lemon.
The challenges for the Argos arent going to wait around, as the Boatmen start with four of five on the road, including last nights Canada Day tilt with the Stampeders.
Starting quickly out of the gate does not guarantee good things after Labour Day. The Argos went 5-2 in their initial seven games last year, but fell back to Earth and were 4-7 in their final 11.
You can look at that as a negative, but we look at it as a positive, Barker said of trips to Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal and Edmonton in the month of July.
Its a great chance for our team to bond. The first (five) games are about building on what we started last year.

Aviation safety may preclude certain land uses near airports or air navigation installations, regardless of whether other permits have been obtained.
NAV CANADA must assess and approve all proposals for land use near airports and air navigation infrastructure before construction begins to ensure that air navigation system safety and efficiency are not compromised by proposed land development.
These proposals must be submitted to NAV CANADA using the Land Use Submission Form.
Details needed to assess a planned structure's possible effects on the ANS are often missing from conceptual area plans or land-development notices. Providing needed information early may help to reduce the impact on costs and schedules.
We recommend consulting Transport Canada's Land Use in the Vicinity of Airports (TP1247) and ICAO's European Guidance Material on Managing Building Restricted Areas (EUR DOC 15) when planning these projects.
For more information, see Proposal Submission Procedures.
Note that NAV CANADA's land use assessment assesses the impact of a proposed physical structure as it may relate to the air navigation system. This assessment does not affect or replace approvals or permits required by Transport Canada or any other federal government department or agency; provincial or municipal land-use authorities; or any other agency.
NAV CANADA is performing a record review of historic land use submissions that are not compliant to our current standards. A third-party provider, @liveconx may contact individual structure owners / operators to collect and re-evaluate information regarding structures.
Send completed Land Use Proposal Submission Forms by email to email@example.com.

Zhu Min: Asia in a Changing World
IMF official: Expect moderate growth ahead
HONG KONG, March 19, 2012 — The turn of the 21st century has been dominated by an increasing awareness of the growing strength and economic power of the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia Society Hong Kong Center invited Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Zhu Min to share his views on the changing global macro-economic environment, the shifting global economic structure and challenges facing the "new Asia."
Zhu assumed his current position in July 2011, having been appointed Special Advisor to the IMF's Managing Director in May 2010. Prior to that, Zhu was Deputy Governor of the People's Bank of China and also worked at the World Bank, in addition to having taught economics at Johns Hopkins University and Fudan University. Zhu is also known for a seminal speech he made in January 2007 (when he was still a relatively obscure official at People's Bank) in which warned about the dangers of subprime mortgages.
Globally, Zhu said, growth is slowing down. According to the IMF's forecast, the global economic growth will be 3.5 percent this year, compared to 4 percent last year. "If you're looking at the West, it looks better in the past two months. In the emerging markets, growth is still strong, but less than expected. Risks are still on the downside." Zhu posed the question that would shape his discussion: "Are we on the way to strong recovery, or is there still a bumpy road ahead?"
In the United States, Zhu said, "A few things are very concerning," particularly the 3% output gap between growth and potential growth. "The labor productivity is still lower than any labor productivity level before the crisis," he said. "And we're not seeing many mergers or acquisitions."
In Europe, Zhu said, the major issue remains liquidity. "We are still expecting to see a moderate recession in Europe at this moment," he said, adding that further financial integration and a clear growth strategy are crucial to risk-management in the region.
Zhu finished his discussion with an emphasis on controlling risk in the global economy. To accomplish this, he argued, governments and international institutions must take responsibility for carefully managing the deleveraging process and access to liquidity. He said, "It's extremely difficult to have strong growth within a deleveraging process. In that sense, we are probably looking at moderate growth for some time to come. And with the accessed liquidity, the volatility is still the main risk."
In summation, Zhu noted that the IMF is doing a study called "Interconnectedness." The global economic map has changed drastically, he said, "and all events are so closely related. It's a big pot, we all have to share the same cycles."

Community-based distribution of contraceptives
A guide for programme managers
This guide is intended to assist programme managers in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of activities to introduce, or expand access to, the female condom in ongoing activities for the Presents guidelines for the community-based distribution of contraceptives as a strategy for helping countries to achieve their family planning goals.
Addressed to programme managers, the book draws on successful experiences from around the world to show how community-based services can provide information and distribute temporary contraceptive methods, such as the pill and barrier methods. Such services are usually less costly than clinic-based services, easier for people to reach, available in a wider range of settings, and more likely to be accepted and used.
Chapters explain how to develop a programme that is appropriate to the needs of the community and receives adequate support. The book also issues advice on six of the most important issues raised by managers of community-based distribution programmes, service providers, policy-makers and researchers.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A new report says patients like their medical records online, where they can get them with a click of a mouse.
There is a lot of talk about patients having online access to their medical records. According to a new report in the Archives of Internal Medicine, it's actually a big success.
A study of 105 physicians found that one-third of the patients in the practice viewed at least one note on their records online in the course of the one-year study.
78% of patients said they demonstrated better compliance, meaning they followed their doctors' advice in taking their medications.
99% recommended continuing the program, and 87% said they felt more in control of their care.

My parents are having their kitchen remodeled, and as such do not have the use of the most basic cooking areas - no stove, no range. What we have to work with instead is a grill in the backyard, a nice large crockpot, and a large rice cooker which can also steam.
There is no real commitment on any of our parts to go for only traditional dishes, but at the same time we do want a fairly fall focused meal, and a traditional all out barbecue is definitely not what we have in mind - rule out ribs, corn, burgers, and such.
All I was thinking about at this point is maybe grilling a slab of ham, grilling some vegetables (hoping for someway to makeshift roast squash - wrap in tinfoil?), a hearty soup form the slow cooker, and maybe steaming some potatoes and mashing them, and having some grilled bread and rice something-or-another premade a bit. All in all, I have no real clue whatsoever.
We may get a pressure cooker to use, though not definite, but we will also have a microwave, toaster oven, and george forman grill available. We only need to feed 5.
If anyone has any ideas for how to do any of what I've imagined, or, even better, has some awesome recipes to share that can be made with only these tools, that would be fantastic. Thanks a lot.
