That was before noted and respected wine market analyst Jon Fredrikson announced "Two-Buck Chuck's" creator, Bronco Wine Co. of Ceres, Calif., as his choice as winery of the year. The din over the $1.99 wine became even louder after Fredrikson's shocking pronouncement before a crowd of more than 1,000 at the state of the industry session during the 9th annual symposium in Sacramento, Calif.
The ballroom literally erupted in disbelief and contempt at Fredrikson's audacity in naming a San Joaquin Valley winery over such names as Kendall-Jackson; J. Lohr; Mondavi and even Redwood Creek from Gallo.
While the symposium has grown to be the largest wine symposium in the nation, it attracts mostly producers and wineries from the more premium wine producing areas of California's North Coast, Central Coast and Northern Interior areas.
Ceres, Calif., a suburb of Modesto, Calif., is not in any of those areas. However, it is in the heart of the true California wine country, the southern and Central San Joaquin Valley. This area produces more than 50 percent of the state's wine grapes. However, the value of those grapes is only about 15 percent of the state's total wine industry. It's lovingly referred to as "jug wine" country.
Twirling in disbelief
Yet, Two-Buck Chuck, a wine made from San Joaquin grapes but bottled in Napa Valley, has set all the floundering California wine industry twirling in disbelief like a bottle at a spin-the-bottle slumber party. The label also has funneled an enormous supply of grape price-suppressing surplus wine from vineyards and winery tanks to consumers.
Introduced last February, Charles F. Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc wines sell for less than $2 per bottle through exclusive retailer, Trader Joe's. It is botique, specialty grocery store with more than 100 locations in California. Trader Joe's has more than 200 stores in the West, but only the California locations are selling the Shaw wines from Bronco for $2 per bottle.
The label took on a cult-like following last fall for no logical reason, and flew out of Trader Joe's by the cases. Although Bronco and Trader Joe's will not confirm sales, more than a million cases were reportedly sold in December alone enroute to what many believe could be an unprecedented three-million case sales level in less time than it takes to uncork a bottle of wine.
"Two-Buck Chuck has become the fastest growing brand in the history of the wine industry," said Fredrikson. "People are buying it 10 and 12 cases at a time and loading their cars until the springs break."
Helps with surplus
"From grower's perspective, Two-Buck Chuck has helped clean out the Chardonnay surplus. It has probably cannibalized other brands. However, it has led to incremental increases in wine consumption," said Fredrikson. "Two-Buck Chuck has people saying they can drink wine every night. It is definitely helping the wine business."
Three million cases of wine equate to more than seven million gallons of wine or about 44,000 tons of grapes. To give you an idea of the significance of that, that is equivalent to about 10 percent of the entire statewide Cabernet Sauvignon crush for one season. It is like single sale taking 10 percent of a commodity produced in California. It is almost beyond belief.
There are more than 6,000 wine labels sold in the U.S., but fewer than two dozen sold more than two million cases in 2001.
Just like Bronco Wine Co., Charles F. Shaw is real. He is a former investment banker who now lives in Chicago and works for a software company. He is not in the wine business, but he once was.
A Stanford business school graduate who became enamored with Gamay Beaujolais wine while living in Europe, he moved to Napa in 1974 with a dream of producing award-winning Gamay Beaujolais. It did not work, and he tried bottling other wines. However, in 1991 Shaw and his wife divorced and sold out. The Shaw label had a good reputation. It is one of more than 30 Bronco has purchased over the past decade. Many are more prominent than Charles F. Shaw. Forest Glenn, Napa Ridge, Rutherford Vintners, Domaine Napa are a few of Bronco's more recognizable name.
Rapid growth labels
While Fredrikson cited Two-Buck Chuck as the primary reason he selected Bronco, he said many of Bronco's others labels also recorded rapid growth during the past 12 months.
However, it is Charles F. Shaw alias "Two-Buck Chuck" that is making Bronco famous or infamous, depending on your wine tastes.
The wine carries a Napa Valley label because that is where it's bottled in a new Bronco-built bottling plant. The wine is made from grapes from the warm weather central and southern San Joaquin Valley.
Bronco is not only the fifth or eighth largest winery in the state (depending on who you talk to), it is one of the largest vineyard owners as well, reportedly with more than 30,000 acres, again mostly all in the San Joaquin Valley.
Bronco's president Fred Franzia is not saying where Shaw the wine/wine grapes are from. Some in the industry believe they are almost all from Bronco's own vineyards, diverted from what would be bulk domestic or distressed export wine sales. Others say Bronco is also buying surplus bulk wine from other, cash-strapped wineries for $1 per gallon.
Regardless of where it is coming from, people are buying it; drinking it and coming back for more. As one wine expert note, people don't keep buying bad wine at any price.
Bronco is one of only four wineries in California that owns its own distributing company. This allows Bronco to deliver Two-Buck Chuck to Trader Joe's for a reportedly meager $19 per case. The store sells it for about $24 per case. Outside of California, distribution costs run the retail cost to $4 to $5 per bottle at the same grocery chain.
High volume
Started in 1973 by brothers Fred and John Franzia and cousin Joe Franzia, Bronco has grown to be one of the highest volume wineries in the state. It has a wine storage capacity of 62 million gallons and can crush up to 60,000 tons per day.
Fred and John's father was a winemaker, and they are nephews of Ernest and Julio Gallo.
Winemaker John Franzia is currently on the board of the Wine Institute. Fred is a former institute chairman.
Fred is the most controversial of the three. In the mid-90s Bronco and Fred Franzia pleaded guilty to fraud charges stemming from mislabeling nearly $5 million worth of wine, falsifying the varietal composition of wines such as White Zinfandel, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Bronco paid a $2.5 million fine, and Fred Franzia was forced to resign as Bronco president and board member for five years. He was barred from doing business in the wine industry.
After completing terms of the settlement with the federal government, Fred Franzia once again took the reins of Bronco and began buying wine labels, wineries and vineyards, often at distressed sale prices.
Many of the labels were from the North Coast, arguably the most exclusive wine producing region in California.
He also has become one of the most hated men in the priciest country in California, Napa Valley, because he bottles valley wine in Napa and labels it bottled and cellared in Napa. It cannot an official BATF Napa appellation, but the label legally carries a Napa Valley winery address and that irritates the Napa Valley Vintners Association.
Law passed, overturned
The association was successful in getting a California law which would forbid Franzia or anyone else from using the word Napa on wines without a hint of Napa wine.
However, Franzia challenged the law and won when a California appeals court struck down the law.
While the court victory was a huge one, the success of "Two-Buck Chuck" has taken on a life of its own that the audacious Franzia could not have anticipated.
It has become the most successful wine brand ever without promotion. It forced Franzia to bottle round-the-clock to meet demand over the holidays.
Its fame has spread by word of mouth and a few well-publicized rumors like the tale that it beat out a $68 bottle of Chardonnay wine in a blind tasting.
Mystic has surrounded it. It was rumored that it was a premium wine dumped by American Airlines because of a ban on cork screws on airlines. Of course, anyone who has ordered wine on a flight knows most of wine served on airlines is in a screw top, small bottle. The only wine served with corks on airlines is in first class.
And, it was rumored that "Two-Buck Chuck" was a financial bailout of a premium wine from United Airlines trying to avoid bankruptcy.
Neither one of those is true nor is it a fire sale Napa wine from a nasty divorce of Charles Shaw and his wife.
'Good house wine'
However, no one has called it bad wine. Like any wine, objectivity is in the pallet of the drinker. Most reviews have called it a good house wine. While it is from grapes produced in the warmer San Joaquin Valley, the grapes were grown with more improved viticulture techniques and therefore quality is much better than it would have been a decade ago.
Regardless of how you analyze the "Two-Buck Chuck" craze, it is unquestionably the biggest thing to happen in the wine industry since the California Cooler phenomenon of the 1980s. That crested in '87 when 122 million gallons of the citrus/surplus white wine concoction were sold in the U.S. It evaporated to only slightly more than 18 million gallons by 1995.
The success of coolers helped unburden the wine industry from an oversupply then, and there is hope "Two-Buck Chuck" can do the same thing $2 at a time after time after time after time.
If the Shaw wine dies as did the cooler, everyone in the wine industry hopes it is when the tanks are drained. Then everyone will toast with Bronco and Fred Franzia with a glass of "Two-Buck Chuck."

The new trailer for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is out, showcasing the epic scale of Bryan Singer's mutant saga that's set to arrive in theaters May 23.
A familiar sonorous voice-over opens the clip, pondering what events have led the mutants to the futuristic wasteland seen in the accompanying images. "So many dark battles waged over the years and yet, none of them like this. Are we destined to destroy each other? Or can we change who we are and unite? Is the future truly set?"
"Days of Future Past" picks up after Matthew Vaughn's 2011 prequel "X-Men: First Class," which chronicled the mutant superheroes' origins as young people in the 1960s, discovering and learning to manipulate their powers. The new film, adapted from one of the beloved comic book story lines conceived by Chris Claremont, stars actors from "First Class" and the original "X-Men" trilogy, which launched in 2000 with Singer's original "X-Men" and arguably ushered in the new golden age of comic book films.
"Future Past's" expansive cast includes James McAvoy playing the younger Xavier, with Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellen playing Magneto. Also featured are Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde, Halle Berry as Storm and Evan Peters as Quicksilver.
For audiences unfamiliar with the comic story line, the trailer helps explain the movie's high-concept premise: to prevent a future in which robots called Sentinels wish to drive the mutants into extinction, Wolverine's consciousness must be projected back in time into the body of his younger self in order to unite friends-turned-adversaries Xavier and Magneto and prevent the events that will trigger the dystopia.
"Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage joins the ensemble as Bolivar Trask, the mastermind who initially creates the Sentinels.
Are you excited to see Bryan Singer return as a director to the franchise with "X-Men: Days of Future Past"? What do you think of the new trailer? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei (AP) — Southeast Asian leaders were upbeat Thursday about progress made on an ambitious plan to weld the region into a European Union-style economic community as a counterweight to Asian powerhouse China, while efforts were stalling on South China Sea disputes.
Leaders attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Brunei had hoped China would soon agree to start talks on a nonaggression pact to prevent a major clash in the disputed territories that could smoke out their region's robust economies.
But China has given no clear indication when it would agree to negotiate such a stopgap accord, known in ASEAN parlance as a "Code of Conduct."
"Everybody is interested in having a peaceful resolution and also in voicing a concern that there have been increasing sea disputes," Philippine President Benigno Aquino III told reporters after he and the other heads of state sat in a traditional dinner Wednesday.
Although overshadowed by security issues, an ambitious plan by ASEAN to transform itself into an E.U.-like community of more than 600 million people by the end of 2015 has sparked more optimism, with diplomats saying the bloc was on track to meet the deadline.
About 77 percent of the work to turn the bustling region into a single market and production base, first laid out in a 2007 blueprint, have been done, according to a confidential draft statement to be issued after the summit.
Nine leaders in the 10-nation bloc huddled behind closed doors Thursday at a cavernous, stone and marble building Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah had ordered built for the annual two-day summit. Absent from the session was Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Rasak, who was campaigning for re-election back home.
Carl Thayer, an expert who has extensively studied the territorial conflicts, said ASEAN may have committed a strategic mistake of agreeing to a crucial process that could easily be stalled by China, which would not commit to anything that would restrict its plans.
"ASEAN is stuck in a bureaucratic rut," Thayer said.
The battle for ownership of potentially oil-rich territories in the South China Sea has settled into an uneasy stand-off since the last fighting, involving China and Vietnam, that killed more than 70 Vietnamese sailors in 1988. The other claimants are Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan.
New skirmishes, however, have erupted in the last two years, involving Vietnam, the Philippines and China, which claims the busy waterway virtually in its entirety.
Concerns have been exacerbated by China's deployment of a patrol ship, equipped with a helipad, to guard its claimed areas and establishment last year of what they called Sansha city on a remote island 350 kilometers (220 miles) from southern Hainan to administer areas being contested by rival claimant countries.
A tense standoff erupted last year between Chinese and Filipino ships over the Scarborough Shoal has remained unresolved, prompting the Philippines in January to take a daring legal step that challenged China's vast claims before a tribunal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. China has ignored the move.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said all the five arbiters of the tribunal have been appointed and they could now start looking into the case if they declare they have jurisdiction.
The long-raging disputes have threatened to divide ASEAN. Last year, its foreign ministers failed to issue a joint statement — a first in the bloc's 45-year history — after Cambodia refused mention of the territorial rifts in the communique, provoking protests from Vietnam and the Philippines.
Cambodia, a known China ally, has towed Beijing's line that the disputes should not be brought to the international arena. China wants the disputes settled by negotiating one on one with each of the rival claimants, something that will give it advantage because of its sheer size.
During the summit, ASEAN leaders also expressed concern about North Korea's latest threats.

Official Portal for North Dakota State Government
The description reads as follows: A tree in the open field, the trunk of which is surrounded by three bundles of wheat; on the right a plow, anvil and sledge; on the left, a bow crossed with three arrows, and an Indian on horseback pursuing a buffalo toward the setting sun; the foliage of the tree arched by a half circle of forty-two stars, surrounded by the motto Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable; the words Great Seal at the top; the words State of North Dakota at the bottom; October 1st on the left and 1889 on the right.
To more clearly define the acceptable uses of the Great Seal and to end the dependency on the opinions, Senate Bill 2448 was passed by the Fifty-fourth Legislative Assembly. The bill gave the Secretary of State greater flexibility and authority in carrying out the custodial responsibilities related to the Great Seal. In addition, it specifically prohibited the use of the Great Seal for political purposes. The existing law was also amended to allow the Great Seal to be reproduced, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, on items for sale as gifts and souvenirs by the State Historical Society and the Parks and Recreation Department.
"The North Dakota Great Seal is the state's only symbol that is protected by state law (Section 54-02-01 of the North Dakota Century Code). It cannot be reproduced or modified in any manner for use in any commercial applications. For more information regarding its use, contact the office of the North Dakota Secretary of State."

Check out my girlfriend's place for Friday Fragging( Mrs. 4444)
For those of you who are curious, this is the song that I got my last blog title from:
Pretty cool video, eh? Jacob Hoggard, was my fave to win Canadian Idol Season 2 - he came in third, but I'd say he did okay. I don't even remember who won that year.
We've spent the whole week sniffling, recovering from a cold that we suspect was passed to us by a 3 year old cute-as-pie passenger on my trip to Montreal last weekend. My niece, who hasn't yet learned to cover her mouth when she sneezes. No matter, it was a great weekend of family. And I love weddings. More on that in a less fragmented post.
Have I mentioned that I joined a book club? I may have, but I don't remember. I'm really feeling the mid-40s milestone - hitting me especially since when I took a closer look at my hair the other day I noticed that I had all sorts of white underneath. That's the pain of black hair - the grays and white are just so difficult to hide. Well, except from the person who's in major denial and probably needs a vision test that will likely end up resulting in * gulp* bifocals.
Back to the book club. I just finished reading "The Book of Negroes" - I believe it's called "Someone Knows My Name" outside of Canada. It wasn't chosen for my next club, but since I've joined, my passion for reading has been ignited and I'd been looking at this for a while. (a side note: the author, Lawrence Hill, comes from fairly famous Canadian heritage, and is the brother of Dan "Sometimes When We Touch" Hill. Just thought I'd mention it as I have a thing for trivial information.)
When I was a child, I used to read under the bedcovers until late in the night. Hiding.
Now I'll stay up well past midnight, and then sneak into the bathroom to catch a few minutes here and there.
Still hiding. Some things never change.
But it was well worth it. What an epic read. Loved it.
Next, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
Nothing majorly up for the weekend, and that suits me just fine.
Wishing you a great one.

Here are free, open-source add-ins for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that format chemical equations and exponents. The source code is released under the GPL v. 3 license . To illustrate their use, imagine typing the following line in Word:
Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) CuSO4*5H2O Heat for 2 hours at 120°C. ΔH = 1E4 J/mol
(I typed -->, which Word automatically converted to ). Leave the cursor in this paragraph (or select just the text to format). Click the button, which runs the add-in. The line is converted to this:
Cu 2+( aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O Heat for 2 hours at 120°C. ΔH = 1 × 10 4 J/mol
Superscripts and subscripts were added; the arrow was replaced with a prettier arrow; and the asterisk was converted to a centered dot to indicate waters of hydration (or radicals). A plus (or minus) sign with space before it is not superscripted. Numbers in the text after the equation were unchanged, except that 1E4 was converted to 1 × 10 4 .
In Excel, you could type the following into two cells:

Here are some other examples. Square brackets may be present.
Radicals can be entered.
A plus or minus sign before a letter is not treated as a charge.
If more than one digit precedes a charge, the last digit goes with the charge.
A single digit preceding a charge goes with the charge, except for O3.
The program cannot read minds, so check the results. In the last example, CH3- was probably meant to be CH 3 - , rather than CH 3- .
These add-ins take a couple of seconds to load the first time they are run; after that, they are quite fast.
To download the Word add-in, click on the appropriate link below with your secondary mouse button (i.e., right-click) and select Save Target As … (Internet Explorer) or S a ve Link As … (Firfox) from the menu.
Internet Explorer 7 changes the file extension to .zip in the Save As dialog. Change the ending back to .dotm and it should work fine.
The Word 2007 add-in seems to work at least somewhat on the Mac with Office 2011.
Save the add-in in the Word startup directory.

In Season: Japanese Eggplant
The other day I was thrilled to spot Japanese eggplant at the farmers market. In case you don't know the distinction from the American globe eggplant commonly found at the store, Japanese eggplant has a thinner skin and a sweet, delicate flavor. Like most eggplant, it grows in season from July to October. To find out what to look for,
- Choose firm, dark-colored vegetables with smooth, shiny skin. They should be light for their size.
- Select young eggplant varieties. The younger they are, the more tender they will be.
- Avoid older eggplant, which will have a dull color and soft texture. The eggplant will take on a bitter flavor as it ages.
- Avoid eggplant with bruised patches.
- Store eggplant uncut and unwashed in a plastic bag in the cooler section of your refrigerator for up to a week. Beware that eggplant does not fare well in extremely cold settings.
Some preparation tips:
- Soak eggplant in salted water before cooking to prevent them from turning brown.
- Because eggplant is highly absorbent, add extra oil when stir-frying or frying eggplant.
- Toss with garlic and oil in a stir-fry.
- Sauté with garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and just a hint of sugar until soft.
- Deep-fry and sprinkle with minced garlic and salt.
- Use in place of globe eggplant in any dishes calling for eggplant — you won't have any of the bitterness.
What are your experiences, if any, with Japanese eggplant? I'd love to hear your preparation suggestions!

Once the shock of Casey Stoner's retirement passed, the speculation began over who would take his place at Honda, and what his departure would mean for contract negotiations among the other riders in the paddock. The permutations are endless, much like a sliding puzzle: will Repsol be able to tempt Jorge Lorenzo away from Yamaha? If Lorenzo does go, will Valentino Rossi be welcome at Yamaha, or could he even go back to Honda, the factory team he left at the end of 2003? What of Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez, and where do Ben Spies and Nicky Hayden fit into this?
But amidst all of the focus on the riders' market, a bigger catch appears to have slipped under the radar. For Stoner's retirement means that it is not just his seat at Honda that will be available next year, his current crew, including crew chief Cristian Gabarrini is also up for grabs. Gabarrini and crew – mechanics Bruno Leoni, Roberto Cierici, Andrea Brunetti, Filippo Brunetto, and Lorenzo Gagni – came across to Honda along with Stoner when he left Ducati at the end of 2010, the group remaining intensely loyal to the Australian since winning their first world title together at Ducati in 2007.

Clarion to release two new 2.4 GHz digital wireless camera systems for commercial vehicles in North America, Europe, Oceania, and Japan.
SAITAMA , Japan - Clarion Co., Ltd. has announced that it will release a 2.4 GHz digital wireless camera systems for a wide range of commercial vehicles, which is a first among Japanese manufacturers of in-car information equipment. Two models, suitable for large vehicles such as trucks, buses, coaches, special vehicles, and construction/agricultural machinery, will be released first in North America and Europe, followed by Oceania and Japan.
Clarion's new wireless vehicle camera systems address the needs of the commercial vehicle market for on-board camera systems with simplified wiring and reduced installation costs. One of the 2.4 GHz camera systems features WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) technology and the other uses FH (Frequency Hopping) technology, eliminating the hassle of wiring. The cameras are also (dust-proof and) water-proof as they conform to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard IP67, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to a depth of about 1 meter for 30 minutes.
WLAN System
The WLAN (wireless localized area network) variant, CC-3500 is a sophisticated camera with built-in transmitter and its receiver, EE-2178 , boasts the industry's shortest delay time of 90 msec for video signal transmission. The camera can be installed easily using the pairing function, which also enables simple system switching when multiple cameras are in use. The built-in transmitter has a transmission range of up to about 9 meters , long enough for small- and medium-sized trucks, forklifts, truck cranes, and agricultural machinery. Since the WLAN system is based on the same communication standards as public wireless network services, its functions can be further exploited, by using smartphone connectivity.
FH System
The EE-2179 monitoring system includes a camera with a built-in transmitter and a monitor with built-in receiver. The camera uses an FH modulation technique, that is often found in Bluetooth® systems.
This type of data exchange technology is highly resistant to interference and it enables a transmission range of up to 12 meters when mounted within a vehicle. This system is very suitable for installation on large vehicles such as articulated tucks with trailers. Video signal transmission is incredibly fast, 180 msec. — which is again the industry's shortest time among FH type systems. With both communication modules integrated, the EE-2179 enables users to easily set up a wireless vehicle camera system.
Clarion will continue to improve the wireless camera systems as an integral component for safe driving

More than three-fourths of Bay State residents say the recession continues in Massachusetts despite its official ending nearly 18 months ago, according to the latest Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll, which reveals that many households have yet to feel the benefits of a recovery.
The Suffolk/Globe poll suggests Massachusetts consumers will be cautious during the upcoming holiday season, with more than 90 percent of respondents saying they will spend the same (54 percent) or less (38 percent) on holiday shopping compared to a year ago. Just 6 percent of residents said they plan to spend more.
A total of 54 percent of respondents expect it will be two years or more before the recession ends.
"Massachusetts residents are feeling an economic malaise that continues to cut into their willingness to spend, their ability to save and expectations about maintaining their standard of living," said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University. "It may also play into politics. More than half of Bay State residents believe we will still be in a recession in two years or more, and the next state and national elections are less than two years away."
Bay State residents are eating out less than they were a year ago (51 percent), traveling less (47 percent), and more than one-third (37 percent) say they're giving less to charity.
Of the 16 percent of respondents who said someone in their household had been laid off in the past year and a half, 59 percent said that person is still unemployed.
More than 70 percent of respondents say they're either very concerned (24 percent) or somewhat concerned (47 percent) about being able to maintain their standard of living, compared to 29 percent who are not concerned.
Asked what the best way is for government to boost the economy, 35 percent said cut spending, 25 percent said cut taxes and 19 percent said spend more.
The Globe's complete coverage may be found at www.boston.com/business. Full poll results will be available at 9 a.m. Monday Nov. 22 on the Suffolk University Political Research Center Web site: www.suffolk.edu/college/1450.html. For more information, contact David Paleologos at 781-290-9310.
The Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll was conducted Nov. 14-16 and includes answers from 400 residents across the state. It has a margin of error of +/- 4.9 percent.

manggy, I don't like the egg yolk too. For curry I still prefer m'sian curries especially dry curry (without adding water during cooking process).
ffichiban, my hb loves it with the egg. Adding apple will make the curry less spicy, but I have never tried it cos I like it hot!

lydia, i what happen with your shout box? anyway...i was just wondering when cooking japanese...is there any substitute when the recipe calls for sake? or mirin? coz i don't take alcohol but i love japanese food and i also wondering if you know the recipe for teppanyaki beef ^_^
- Lydia said... on
- 16 October, 2008 00:27
I lost the code for my shutbox, lazy to get a new one. For sake or mirin, you can use stock to replace it. Mirin is a bit sweet, so sometimes I would add pinch of sugar.
I haven't try a real teppanyaki, usually simply sprinkle bit of salt and pepper then put on teppan. For dipping, soy sauce+grated daikon+lemon juice. Also, some curry powder at the side for dipping enhance the taste of beef.

Hydraulic installation time is finally upon our project car, and in this issue we look at the suspension of our custom Cadillac which has been affectionately named "HellDorado." When we started building it, we planned ahead by incorporating the CCE coil over cups, cylinder and coil combination for the custom frame. We also cut out the frame, so it would be an easy install when it was time to juice the ride.
After talking to the pros at Cool Cars of Kentucky, they recommended using their "Chrome Cyclone Pump," which sports another unique design and uses a standard thickness block with three ports machined into it. There is a 3/8-pressure port on top and two on the sides for the oil returns, which helps to prevent foaming. This configuration also allows you to plumb your set-up in several different ways. For good looks and performance, this pump comes standard with chrome tanks, a billet backing plate and a chrome competition motor with a bearing end cap. Most importantly, the cyclone comes with genuine Marzocchi pump heads.
Follow along, and check out how we installed the CCE setup and Optima Batteries combo into our project Cadillac.

The Case for Black With a Capital Bmore
Close To Home
Close To Home
by Sheena Quintyne
Though I've never been a victim to domestic violence, I've definitely witnessed and had peers who were involved, either as victims or abusers. I've always believed that the more popular decision is to mind your own business and stay out of the picture. Never believing this myself, I've tried to engage friends who were involved in either role of victim or abuser, and ask why they feel its ok not to seek help.
Even this process is complicated, because how do you even begin to initiate that conversation? Sometimes, these secrets of abuse are kept from the confrontational friend, or in this case, the "Big Mouth". So again, how does one initiate that conversation, especially if they're not supposed to know?
It has also been customary for the victim to fear the hands of the abuser, and as a result, that victim stays in the relationship, and reassures loved ones that everything is ok and the relationship is great, despite the abuse.
A series of questions come about here: What if they don't want help? What if this continues? What role can I play, if I'm not close with either party?
After sitting with Priscilla Rorie, the Assistant Director at Close to Home, I've found that they are understanding of the fact that police aren't usually involved, and the best way to deal with a domestic abuse situation is to facilitate it.
This is an organization that is aware of domestic violence. The workers are aware, some even know first hand, why the patterns of reclusiveness are constant, and what might be the best way to engage the parties involved.
To echo Priscilla's theory, there is too much money and effort being poured into domestic violence situations that have already occurred.
This program trains youth on how to intervene before violence happens, or even before it gets worse.
I feel that the lack of knowledge in proper intervention is detrimental to our community, especially the youth. The survey issued by the Boston Public Health Commission is a painfully clear example of this. They used the high profile incident of Chris Brown and Rihanna's domestic violence case to gain insight on where youth stand on teen violence. Among the findings: 100% of the youth surveyed heard about the incident. 44% said fighting was a normal part of a relationship; 46% said Rihanna was responsible for the incident; and 52% said both individuals were to blame for the incident. The participants of the survey were aged 12-19.
Judging from these statistics, I believe that better strategies and knowledge on dating violence should be in order.

Greetings from Florida,
I am new to these forums and I am here to learn how best to improve the Automotive HVAC system in my Hummer H1. I am learning and I am not afraid to do research and become educated, but I have very little experience with HVAC in general.
H1's produced up until 1997.5 had an electro servo motor flap operating system. In 1998, a newer system was installed that was vacuum controlled.
The early system performs very poorly in hot climates. It is very common for pre-1997.5 H1's to be upgraded to the 1998-2004 cooling system, at a cost of $3,000 USD and 3 days worth of labour. This involves substantial cost and down time for the vehicle and a lot of cutting and modifying of vehicle components to alter the electro servo motor system to the vacuum system.
I have a limited edition truck and I want colder A/C, but I do not want to deal with "hacking up" a limited edition truck to install the upgraded HVAC system.
So far, I have done the following:
1. Bypassed heater core (No more heater or hot water mixing)
2. Charged system fully (R134A) and added Ice32
3. Added extra cold air ducts and hoodscoop in front of vehicle to increase air flow (Factory OEM upgrades)
4. Had truck taken to several different Automotive HVAC technicians that I did due-diligence on, that are experienced.
I noticed that the HVAC temperature was always "comfortable" when it was raining outside, or when I was driving durning evening hours with no sun...but during the heat of the day, it does not cool worth a darn.
One of the techs looked at the condenser and poured water over the condenser while reading the R134A gauges. There was a significant drop in temperature on the R134A gauges. He has recommended a new condenser with parallel flow coils and adding a cooling fan on top of the condenser, because a fan is not installed on H1's condensers from the factory, but an aftermarket SPAL unit is available.
I also looked at the dryer and noted that on the later Hummer H1's, the increased the size of the filter/dryer assembly. I did some research and found a filter/dryer that will fit in the stock mounting location, that will give me double the internal volume compared to the factory OEM filter/dryer. I have read that increasing the internal volume of the filter/dryer will give the freon more room to expand, therefore, making the air cooler.
A friend of mine is a retired Airconditioning man of 40 years experience and former automobile technician. On his Ford Retractable with Factory A/C, he retrofitted the aftermarket system from R134A to R12. He is a die-hard R12 fan and says that the vent temperatures were 8-10 degrees cooler with R12 versus the R134A. He offered to convert my H1 in an EPA certified facility.
So here are the questions:
1. Based on the test of pouring water over condenser and seeing significant drops in temperatures, a new, high efficiency condenser should help, along with a "pusher" fan mounted on top, correct?
2. By using a larger filter/dryer with double the internal volume of the factory filter/dryer, do you expect that this will help with achieving lower A/C temps?
3. Cost no object on refrigerant- Should I flush the system for 10 hours and attempt a R134A to R12 conversion??? I know I need to remove the compressor and drain the oil and make sure that the system has been flushed very well due to oil compatability. I looked at the new parallel flow condenser and the filter/dryer and *both* are rated for R12 and R134A.
4. Can I get cooler temperatures with George Goble's refrigerants- ie. CoolTop/Autofrost/R406?
Thanks for your time. I am learning here. I would love to have ice cold A/C!
For those that are interested, here is an overview of the H1 Cooling System:
Here are the upgraded cooling system components- Parallel Flow Condenser with SPAL Condenser Cooling Fan, and larger filter/dryer. This is an OEM kit that the dealer sells:
Open to any and all ideas/suggestions. Thanks again.

I love, love, love cooking Mexican food so I always use Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to not only drink enthusiastic amounts of margaritas with freshly-squeezed lime juice but also to dive into a new Rick Bayless recipe (this year it was his sublime Simple Red Mole Enchiladas from one of my very favorite cookbooks, "Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen").
The other inspiration came from the sudden abundance of Haitian mangoes appearing at my nearest Whole Foods (and probably yours, too!). These mangoes are sweet and deliciously floral and are also Whole Trade certified. This recipe would work with just about any mango you can get your hands on - just make sure to buy one that's medium-ripe and one that's very ripe (one for dicing and one for blending).
Although this salad is by no means authentic, it makes excellent use of the fresh, vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine. The sweet, mellow crunch of jicama lends a wonderful contrast to the soft, juicy mangoes and the ancho-infused quinoa and beans add a gentle, fragrant spice to the dish. The dressing is a luscious, thick concoction of ancho chiles and mangoes with lots of vibrant, bright-tasting cilantro and tangy lime juice. If you are like me and you like to dress your salads lightly, you can use the leftover dressing to marinate pork or fish, or you can add some chopped onions, jalapeno and diced mango to make a tasty salsa! —the preservery.
Serves: 6
Mango, Black Bean and Quinoa Salad
cup dried black beans
dried ancho chiles
cup red quinoa
a dash of chile powder
cup diced medium-ripe mango (1 large mango)
1 1/2
cups diced jicama
cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
cup sliced green onions
cup cilantro leaves, stems reserved for dressing
juice of 1 lime
salt to taste
Ancho, Mango and Lime Dressing
ripe mango
cup leftover cilantro stems, loosely packed
garlic cloves, chopped
tablespoons rehydrated ancho chile, seeds removed and chopped (use the chile from the beans or quinoa)
cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 small limes)
splash of tequila (optional)
salt to taste
- In a medium pot, cover the black beans with several inches of water and add the dried chile. Bring to a boil, then simmer until beans are tender (about 1 1/2 hours, or 8-10 minutes in a pressure cooker). Drain the beans and remove the chile. Season with salt and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan cover the quinoa with 1 cup of water and add the other ancho chile. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and a dash of chile powder, fluff with a fork and allow to cool.
- Assemble the dressing: combine all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Combine the beans, quinoa and remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add desired amount of dressing (I used all but about 1/4 cup for a lightly-dressed salad) and toss well to combine.

TUSCALOOSA | The Tuscaloosa City Schools has partnered with Easter Seals of West Alabama to hire a job coach to provide training and placement for students with disabilities.
TUSCALOOSA | The Tuscaloosa City Schools has partnered with Easter Seals of West Alabama to hire a job coach to provide training and placement for students with disabilities.
According to the agreement, Easter Seals will provide the school system with the job coach. The coach, who has already been hired, will help develop jobs designed for special needs students and provide on-the-job training for students who have difficulty learning.
The school system has agreed to pay up to $40,163.20 annually for the coach's salary, benefits, travel, training, supplies, telephone and administrative costs.
"With our kids who have significant delays, they need the extra coaching and help to pick up on job skills in a way that's going to make them successful at it," said Bruce Prescott, director of special education support services for the school system.
"Our goal is to help these kids with job training and living arrangements so that when they graduate from high school, they're as independent as possible," he said. "We do not want our students sitting at home. The coach will check with the students' supervisors and help them learn what they need to learn. For example, if a student needed to file records, the job coach would come in and maybe color code the files to help the student understand how to do the job better."
This is the second job coach hired by the city school system.
Prescott said the students who will benefit from the job coaches are part of the system's World of Work program, which is for special education students who are on track to graduate with an Alabama Occupational Diploma instead of a full high school diploma. The program teaches students social and job skills, how to work out their transportation needs and more.
The program requires students to earn 270 hours of paid work experience during their senior year to earn a diploma.
Prescott said job coaches are vital to the process because they have connections to employers who are willing to hire and train students with special needs.
"Both our job coaches work very well with kids, and what's important is that they have valuable contacts in the community to help our kids find jobs," he said. "It's very important that we provide them with that support on how to fill out applications, with interviewing skills and job coaching.
"The program's been very successful," he said. "Some of those kids will go on to take career technical courses. They may take classes at TCT and then go on to take technical classes at Shelton State Community College. We want them to be very successful in all facets of life. (Those are) always our goals."
The World of Work program is provided at all three of the system's high schools, as well as Oak Hill School.

TRACY - The road to politics for some begins with issues of property rights and land-use policy, particularly when those issues pop up in their own backyards.
TRACY - The road to politics for some begins with issues of property rights and land-use policy, particularly when those issues pop up in their own backyards.
So it was for Leroy Ornellas, 68, who is wrapping up his 10-year run representing south San Joaquin County on the Board of Supervisors.
He'd gone to Tracy City Council meetings to protest a proposal to move rail lines toward his dairy, but what really got him involved in politics in a much broader way was that the county was putting together its 1992 General Plan. At one point, the plan being formed called for the development of six new towns in the county's rural areas. It had Ornellas - a Tracy dairyman - and other farmers and landowners worried about what it would bring and what impacts it could have.
"All of these things were going in," Ornellas said. "We just wanted to cover everything and jump in the middle of it."
They formed the San Joaquin County Citizens Land Alliance. He was one of the founders. So was Richard Pombo, a Tracy rancher who served in Congress from 1992 to 2006. In the end, the General Plan called for only one new town in unincorporated county, Mountain House. Ornellas said he thinks the group made some impact.
"That kind of got me started in county issues," he said. Today, the county is years into creating a far less contentious General Plan update.
Ornellas said he had hoped he'd still be in office to vote on the latest iteration, he said at his Tracy home, reflecting on accomplishments and unfinished business the board saw during his decade in office, which officially comes to an end Jan. 7.
"There's nothing you can do about it. It is what it is," he said. "You start something as a supervisor knowing that there's a good chance you're not going to be the one to complete it. But if it's a good idea and it has merit, then you begin whatever that project happens to be, then you pass it on to the next supervisor or the next board and hope they complete it."
Plenty of projects and plans did come to fruition in the past decade too.
Some that stand out for Ornellas are the expansion of the county's enterprise zone, the creation of a new advisory commission at Stockton Metropolitan Airport, a streamlined process of reporting the illegal dumping of trash in rural areas, and a strengthening of the county's right-to-farm rules, he said. And during that time, the county completed major construction projects, such as the Robert J. Cabral Agricultural Center by the airport and the County Administration Building in downtown Stockton.
Ornellas said he was proud of playing a small part in those buildings. He's also proud that the push to bring new health care facilities to the county began in his office, after his legislative aide learned the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs was moving to replace old facilities. "I was testifying (at a VA public hearing) three months later," Ornellas said.
The VA's plan is to build an expanded health care facility and nursing home in French Camp, putting it near thousands of county veterans, many of whom travel as far away as Palo Alto for treatment. But a decade ago it wasn't even certain it would be in the county.
"Some people tend to think supervisors are only about pot holes and broken tree branches, but it's more than that," he said. "It's trying to do what's best for the county in competition with other counties in the area."
Ornellas also represented the county on regional bodies, such as the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley.
Ornellas was first elected to the board in 2002 in a special election. He defeated Lynn Bedford, who had been appointed by Gov. Gray Davis the previous year, filling a seat left vacant by the death of Robert Cabral. Ornellas finished out Cabral's term and was re-elected in 2004 and 2008. He is terming out after completing his second full term.
Ornellas' Fifth District is the county's southernmost, and it continued to see rapid growth and change in the beginning of Ornellas' tenure in office. That growth stopped with the global financial collapse that hit economies and governments hard. The county's budget reached its peak and then dropped as property values collapsed.
Ornellas had a "steady hand" as a leader, said former Supervisor Jack Sieglock. "It really boils down to consistency and being fiscally responsible," he said of Ornellas. Sieglock was on the Board when Ornellas was first elected.
The county was able to build up its reserves before money was tight, which puts it in much better shape than a lot of other government agencies these days, Sieglock said. Ornellas is serious about county finances but has a good sense of humor too, he said.
Former Supervisor Victor Mow was also on the board in 2002, and he described Ornellas as fiscally sound, thoughtful and compassionate. "Ornellas voted his conscience, and he voted what he thought was best."
Mow, a Democrat, said he and Ornellas, a Republican, were both colleagues and friends. "We found common ground on many things, and we worked together," Mow said. The two formed the committee that led to the designation of fire stations around the county to be "safe surrender" sites where unwanted newborns could be left without repercussions.
The board when Ornellas first was elected was more characterized by split votes than in later years. However, in his final months in office, Ornellas would sometimes find himself at odds with the rest of the board. That played out both inside and out of the boardroom this year over Measure D, which would have extended term limits. Ornellas voted against putting it on the ballot, and he spoke out against it before it lost at the polls.
But Ornellas and other supervisors said divisions didn't prevent them from working together.
"When it comes to issues of singular importance ... we put the county first," Ornellas said.
Each board member is one-fifth of a solution, board Chairman Steve Bestolarides said. "We've worked closely together, and we have our differences. And I think, overall, we worked well as a group." He said he wished Ornellas well in the transition from the public to the private sector.
Supervisor Carlos Villapudua noted how Ornellas pushed hard for the county to build a new regional park in south county, even though the plan stalled when the county had to make budget cuts. But when existing parks around the countywide network of community centers faced cuts, Ornellas supported keeping up needed maintenance, Villapudua said.
"He didn't just care about the people of his district, but he cared about the people of the county."
When Villapudua first took office, and when he first took the gavel as chairman, he said that Ornellas came by both times to give him some advice and share his experiences. Villapuda said it helped him become a better supervisor.
Ornellas ran unsuccessfully for state Senate in 2012, and he said, at this point, he doesn't see himself running for office again.
What happens next is still up in the air. He said some have suggested he join other boards and that he was offered to join a group that brings industry to the region. He said he declined to specify because nothing is concrete yet. But he's leaving office with a lot more knowledge than when he entered, he said.
"These 10 years have been my Ph.D. and my Master's."

Native Mob Member Sentenced For Murder
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A member of a Native American gang has been sentenced to 43 years in federal prison for shooting and killing a fellow gang member.
Shaun Martinez was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court.
Martinez pleaded guilty in December to one count of murder resulting from using a firearm in a violent crime.
In a plea agreement, Martinez admitted that he shot and killed Jeremee Kraskey in south Minneapolis in February 2011 to keep him from giving information to law enforcement.
Martinez was part of a federal case filed against 25 members of the Native Mob. Prosecutors accused gang members of using violence and intimidation to keep the gang in power.
Authorities say the gang is most active in Minnesota and Wisconsin but also in Michigan, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Our four nature centers have long been popular for weddings and receptions. Three have outdoor amphitheaters: Anne Kolb (capacity 250), Fern Forest (120), and Secret Woods (100). All four have halls that come with fully equipped catering kitchens: the Mangrove Hall at Anne Kolb (capacity 210-277, depending on setup), the Royal Fern Hall at Fern Forest (120-175), the Oak Hammock Hall at Long Key (280), and the Julia Hall at Secret Woods (75-100). Anne Kolb also has a courtyard area adjacent to the Mangrove Hall that will accommodate approximately 150. Note: Kitchens are for warming only; no on-site cooking permitted.
Three parks are perfect for smaller, outdoor weddings. The gazebo at Plantation Heritage (capacity 20-40) is located atop a small hill adjacent to a duck pond. T.Y.'s gazebo (capacity 20) sits at the edge of a large lake that includes a dramatic fountain in its center. The Carpenter House at Hollywood North Beach has an outdoor courtyard (capacity 50) in the center of this newly restored compound, steps from the ocean.
At other parks, the same spaces used for meetings can be dressed up for such special occasions as bridal and baby showers, weddings, and receptions. Several parks have conference and meeting rooms, and our neighborhood parks also have community center halls available for rental. Amenities vary. Certain parks may also provide audiovisual equipment.
Once you've selected a space that's the right size for your event, the only limit is your imagination. We'll provide the chairs and tables (various sizes and shapes are available) - the rest is up to you. Add some basic tablecloths and a few streamers for a simple look, or go all out with elegant centerpieces, fancy tablecloths, and other theme décor for more dramatic effects. Either way, it's your special event at the park, so express yourself. Our knowledgeable park staff may also be able to provide advice regarding caterers and other Broward County-approved vendors.

Pet Imaging ct head scan or positron emission tomography is a diagnostic tool that produces images based on the detection of radiation from the emission of positrons. Positrons are tiny particles produced from a radioactive substance administered to the patient and absorbed in the body or specific area. The images of the body taken during this scanning process are used to evaluate a variety of diseases.
Your nurse or an x-ray technician will escort you into an exam room with the Pet scanner. The scanner itself is easily detectable it has a hole in the middle and looks like a large doughnut. Inside the Pet machine are multiple rings of detectors that record the emission of energy from the radioactive substance in your body, creating an image of a specific part of your body.
You will be asked to lie down on the exam table; an in IV will be started so that you can receive a radioactive substance called radiotracer. It will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes for the radiotracer to make its way through your body and be absorbed by the organ or tissue to be imaged. During that time, you'll rest quietly and avoid movement or talking, because this can alter the distribution of the substance. The radioactive substance in your body cannot be felt by you.
Once the radioactive substance has been absorbed, still lying on the exam table, you will be moved through the hole of the machine. The images are displayed on a monitor of a nearby computer. You will need to remain as still as possible during the exam, which takes about 30-45 minutes.

Obama to decide on immigration by end of summer
WASHINGTON - A senior White House adviser says President Barack Obama will make a decision by the end of the summer on how to use his authority to address immigrants living illegally in the U.S.
Dan Pfeiffer called reports that Obama might delay the deportation of up to 5 million immigrants "uninformed speculation." He said Obama is waiting for recommendations from Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson before taking action, but any actions would be within "the confines of the law."
He said Obama has no choice but to act on his own because of Congress' "failure to fix the immigration system" and to provide extra money to deal with Central American children crossing the U.S-Mexico border.
Pfeiffer spoke Sunday on ABC News' "This Week."

Hassan visits NH Ball Bearings; reports 'relatively isolated' damageStaff Report
February 11. 2014 2:29PM
CONCORD – Gov. Maggie Hassan spent about 30 minutes Tuesday afternoon at New Hampshire Ball Bearings in Peterborough talking with officials there about the explosion on Monday that injured as many as 15 workers.
"It seems like the damage is relatively isolated to a relatively small part of the plant," she told reporters when she returned to the State House a short while ago.
She said assessments are being made on whether there was structural damage but officials "hope to have the plant at least partially operating in a matter of days."
She said that "all things considered, it wasn't as bad as it might have been," but at the same time stressed concern about the injured workers and those who are left unable to work due to the damage at the facility.
She said she was unable to enter the plant due to the damage.
Hassan said officials there are "just finishing up the documentation stage and are getting to the investigation and looking into how long it will be to get at least part of the plant back up and operating."
She said state economic development officials are ready to help find additional space for plant operations to resume if that is needed.

text: Why is my email strategy underperforming? By Debbie Crawford, and Debbie Crawford,. Published on November 08, 2012. Your list could be the culprit. Consider penny candy—that eclectic mixture of gummy this and sugar-coated that, with inedible plastic lips and sour patch kids masquerading as gummy watermelons. Now imagine only getting the pieces of candy you really like. No surprises, just the good stuff. That's what a quality email program and, most important, a quality list can do for your audience. Deliver only the best because b-to-b email marketing is better than penny candy. The source of your list is everything. Ideally, you've had your well-oiled email machine running through various solicitation funnels. You should have your customer relationship management (CRM) and website sign-ups automatically fed to your email service provider. Realistically though, your list may be stale, or worse. All of those email addresses that appeared out of the ether can be restrictive to optimization at the least, and in violation of CAN-SPAM [http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business] at worst. Once you have a good base list (your perennial first choice at the candy counter), you can focus your attention on maintenance. By using engagement criteria, you can keep your list "healthy" over time. If you are uncomfortable removing individuals who have never opened your emails, test a different message to those addresses and see if you can solicit a reaction. The keys to list maintenance are segmentation are targeted messaging. Many ESPs have event-triggered messaging functionality. Create campaigns not only for each segment of your list (i.e., customer/sales lead, title, region) but also by how they interact with the content of your email. For example, if someone clicks on a particular link X, they immediately receive Y communication. Use analytics to be agile and adapt to new interaction trends. Always think of email tactics as email marketing instead of e-news. Using your list as only a monthly newsletter is like getting only one color of gummy bear. There's so much more to it than that, and it's best when mixed up. Once you've got the basics down, how do you grow your list? Consider every point of contact with your audience, and ask yourself if you can solicit opt-ins. Consider your trade show booth, product warranty registrations, Contact Us forms, contests or even an offering of quality content, like a white paper, in exchange for contact information. Always include options to join a segmented email list. Most important, in your messaging and in your list building, stay targeted. Remember: Nobody likes plastic lips.
