|International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada (ISTPCanada), mandated by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Automotive Partnership Canada (APC), an initiative of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC-APC), are pleased to announce Calls for Proposals (CFP) for collaborative R&D projects between Canada and China (to be hosted by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China (MOST).) OBJECTIVES The Call invites research teams that bring together companies and academic researchers from Canada and China to propose bilateral R&D projects for the joint development of innovative products or processes. This funding opportunity aims to: • Stimulate innovative R&D projects in the field of clean automotive transportation that demonstrate high commercial potential that could not be done as effectively and efficiently in the absence of this Canada-China collaboration. • Encourage domestic competitiveness through the transfer of technology and knowledge resulting from international S&T partnerships; • Foster international S&T partnerships and collaborative research from industry, academia and government with an emphasis on outcomes for near-term commercialization; • Strengthen overall bilateral S&T relations. RELEVANT RESEARCH AREA Clean Automotive Transportation Building on Canadian and Chinese core competencies and areas of natural synergy, this call for R&D collaboration is focused on the following complimentary areas, namely: • Application of alternative fuels – the application of next generation fuels such as biofuels, natural gas, or other combustible liquids or gases. • Lighter weight and/or sustainable materials – the design and assembly of prototype vehicles, engines and components, composed of new and advanced materials solutions to improve fuel efficiency. • Advanced Powertrain – areas related to the development of electric, and hybrid-electric powertrains, as well as improving internal combustion engine powertrain efficiency. FUNDING FROM CANADA The targeted funding to be awarded to each Canadian research team, composed of at least one academic researcher, and one industrial organization, is $1,000,000 over three years or less ($500,000 from ISTPCanada and $500,000 from NSERC-APC or CIHR). Up to three projects are to be supported within each research initiative. The Canadian industrial partner on each research team is required to put forth matching expenditures directed towards the proposed R&D project, at a ratio of at least 1:1 with the amount requested from ISTPCanada. For example, within a project with a total Canadian budget of $1.5 million, the: • Academic research budget should be $500,000, to be supported by NSERC-APC or CIHR • Industrial budget should be a minimum of $1M, to be supported by $500,000 from ISTPCanada.

I don't think a 3s cast time is gonna solve much.
It might change things significantly in the already sorta unbalanced 2v2 bracket, where you can't guarantee that you've got someone on the other side with a way to quickly get into the hunter's dead zone, but almost all 3v3 and 5v5 teams have a warrior who can quickly get in the face of any hunter. Get someone in the hunter's face, everyone else get out of LOS, and a 3s cast time isn't gonna help them a lot.
It's definitely not like locks, where they dot dot dot and constantly stay out of LOS and wait for you to bleed out.

A woman shot at Cumberland Mall in the parking lot near Macy's on Monday has died from her injuries, according to the Cobb County Police Department.
The woman, identified as Violet Lambert, 55, of Atlanta, was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital where she died from her injuries, authorities said.
Lambert's family told CBS46's Mike Paluska that her killer, Danny Brown, of East Point, was a close family friend. Moments after the shooting Kim Monroe said Brown called Lambert's son and admitted to the crime.
"He said he was going to shoot himself," Monroe said. "He was like, 'I messed up. I just shot your momma' and that was it."
According to police, a short time later, the white van Brown fled in was discovered parked at a residence in East Point. After obtaining a search warrant, and with the assistance of East Point police and Fulton County SWAT, detectives discovered the body of Brown, 59.
Brown died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police said at about 2:20 p.m., Brown shot Lambert in the parking lot of Macy's after an argument.
A good Samaritan was also shot at multiple times while trying to assist the victim but was not hit. Police said that man was able to give them a good description of the suspect and vehicle.
Monroe said she wants to meet the good Samaritan who tried to help the grandmother of her children.
"Thank you, thank you so much for trying to help," Monroe said.
When shots were fired, witnesses say people began running for cover in a panic.
"I realized that is the lady, she got shot," Muhammad Sharwar said. "It is very sad, I actually am feeling shaky about that, because she is someone's wife, daughter, child. It is so heartbreaking."
Monroe said Brown and Lambert worked together at Friendship Tower Apartments on Northside Drive.
Brown is a maintenance man on the property, Monroe said.
"We have known each other for years and years," Monroe said. "The two had been friends for more than five years."
Monroe said she thinks the motive may have been that Brown's advances on Lambert were never returned.
"She always said she didn't like him in that way - he was OK with that, but I guess he wasn't," Monroe said. "I guess he wanted more and she kept telling him, 'No, I don't like you in that way.' He knew she was involved with someone else."
CBS46.com will have more information as it becomes available.

Pokémon White Walkthrough Part 4: AdveNturous
by, 7th April 2011 at 02:24 PM (789 Views)
After getting the
shiny MunnaC-Gear, i went on my way, left Striaton City by crossing a lovely garden where i played with my Pokémon, then i arrived at Route 3, there's a Daycare AND a Pre-School here, maybe they ARE teaching Kids how Pokémon lay eggs now...
i also battled some Pre-Schoolers who had Pokémon (No Kidding, Sherlock), they used the Monkey Trio, Pansage, Panpour and Pansear, yeah, they became Sigfried's breakfast...
had my first Double Battle (in BW), Evergreen and Sigfried Versus two Purrloin, we won, and both Eve and Sig got to LV16.
turning over a corner, i met up with Cheren, and since we both had Obtained the Trio Badge from the Striaton Gym, he battled Cress, BTW, we decided to test our strenght in a battle.
Arthur VS Cheren - Battle 3
Joel VS Tepig
''Joel uses Work Up, Tepig uses Tail Whip, Joel uses Water Gun, Tepig Faints''
Evergreen VS Purrloin
''Snivy boosts its Attack and Sp. Attack with Growth, Purrloin uses Assist, calling Tepig's Tackle, which does shit against Eve, then Eve procedes to wipe the floor with Purrloin by using Leaf Tornado. I Win.''
after that Meh-ish battle, Cheren goes on about how my strategy was really good, and all (tell me something i don't know ^__^). However, things get a little weird, when Bianca and a Pre-Schooler come to us, and Bianca tells us that this girl's Pokémon has been stolen by two Team Plasma members, we tell Bianca to stay behind protecting the girl, as we beat them silly.
Meanwhile, i caught another team member, meet Haruka, the Pidove, she's Brave (not a very good nature, but oh well) and she's Proud of her Power.
we walk on the Route until we reached a tunnel, it was Wellspring Cave.
inside, there were two Team Plasma members, me and Cheren paired up for a Double-Tag Battle, even though i didn't really need his help... as Haruka was the only one who actually had a battle spirit on. then we gave the Pokémon back to the girl, but a question was still in the air, what, exactly, is Team Plasma wanting?
after that, i caught a Blitzle at Route 3, i called him Straiker, i also caught three more Pokémon in Wellspring, a Adamant Woobat (keeping around for Happiness), a Relaxed Roggenrola called Pebbie, and, a new team member, Bezedrill the Adamant, and Proud of its Power Drilbur (^_^), i also forgot to mention, but i put Irma in the Daycare, kids will love seeing a Shiny.
after all of that, Cheren came to me and showed me something
that i already knew, it was the Dark Grass, which is a kind of grass that stronger Pokémon like to hide in, also, Wild Double battles may occur on them.
along Route 3, i met and trashed many Trainers, it was fun XD, this game is just awesome
at Route 3's end, there was a gate to Nacrene City, home of the Nacrene Gym, after healing my Pokémon, i went to the museum to pay a visit to it, but to my surprise, N was there, he was musing about ancient stuff, and also about the bonds of Trainers and their Pokémon, he then wished to hear my Pokémon's voice again, and so we battled.
Arthur VS N - Battle 2
Bezedril VS Pidove
''Beze uses Fury Swipes, while Pidove starts with Air Cutter (or was it Gust?), then Beze faints it with Meatl Claw.''
Bezedril VS Tympole
''should have known better to switch a Ground-type away from a Water-Type, but Tympole beat Beze with a Bubblebeam.''
Siegfried VS Tympole
''Sig faints Tympole with Pursuit, Beze's prior Fury Swipes also helped''
Haruka VS Timburr
''Having learned my lesson, i switched Sig for Haruka to avoid problems; Haruka uses Air Cutter, dealing good damage for a Special Move on a Physical Mon, Timburr attacks with Low Kick, it Crits, but it does not faint Haruka, who beats Timburr with another Air Cutter. I Win''
after that, N tells me he's interested in Mathematical Formulas, and that he now knows that he needs to seek out for Reshiram, one of the Legendary Dragons of Unova, even though he lost, he warns me that i am not invincible, and that i'm being too much overconfident...

Who Will Be the Ellsberg for Iraq?
A pretty cool LRC article, though I don't know how I feel about the voters' pledge. I suppose it would be consistent with my principles to promise not to vote for a war candidate. I also promise not to vote for a peace candidate...

Interesting question: While I am, in general, againsgt voting in current circumstances, if voting could stop the assault on Iraq, would I do it? I think I might.ReplyDelete
Oh, if a vote came up where I really could stop those things, I probably would vote.ReplyDelete

Not all of these players were drafted, many coming from free agency. Since the offseason is slow right now here is a list of all the names of players coming from these schools.
GEORGIA – WR A.J. Green, DT Geno Atkins, OG Clint Boling, TE Orson Charles, DE Robert Geathers & OT Dennis Roland.
FLORIDA – DE Carlos Dunlap, DE Derrick Harvey & FS Reggie Nelson.
ALABAMA – CB Dre Kirkpatrick & OT Andre Smith.
KENTUCKY – DE DeQuin Evans & LB Micah Johnson.
AUBURN – DT Pat Sims.
SOUTH CAROLINA – OG Travelle Wharton.
TENNESSEE – CB Jason Allen.
ARKANSAS – DE Jamaal Anderson.
OLE MISS – RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
MISSISSIPPI STATE – TE Donald Lee.
LOUSIANA STATE – OT Andrew Whiteworth.
The odd thing is, with the exception of three or four players, most of these guys are starters or otherwise well-known commodities around the league. Even stranger is the fact that 7 out of 13 listed defensive linemen currently on the Bengals roster are from the SEC.

Knovel: 600 More Mathcad Worksheets Go Online
Note: This blog post is updated on July 27 with new information from PTC.
The demise of Borders bookstore chain, made public last week, is but another example of how the e-text movement has been reversing fortunes. On the other hand, those who manage to ride the wave of change, like Barnes & Noble did with its e-reader Nook, stand to gain from this revolution.
In engineering, many theorems and equations that used to be static text on printed pages — like Reaction and Deformation Formulas for Circular Arches in Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain — are going through a metamorphosis. They're becoming interactive worksheets, capable to displaying real-time answers based on your input.
One place where you can find many of these dynamic equations and tables is Knovel, an online engineering reference portal, accessible to subscribers. Technical content at Knovel, organized by topic and available for search, spans titles from established publishers like Springer Verlag (specializes in science, technology, and medicine), PenWell (B2B media, publisher of Oil and Gas Journal), and John Wiley & Sons (publisher of scholarly journals and scientific books). More importantly, many of the titles available at Knovel contains interactive graphs, charts, and equations, easily importable to other engineering software and CAD applications.
PTC No Longer Providing Mathcad Worksheets: In the past, PTC Mathcad users had access to a collection of dynamic worksheets (legacy content based on Mathsoft engineering libraries). But the content had not been updated in years, and PTC's royalty to the content provider, McGraw-Hill, is "not inconsequential," according to PTC press office. This was one of the reasons PTC struck a partnership with Knovel, whose contractual relationship includes access to fresh content from technical publishers, including McGraw-Hill.
Knovel makes it possible for subscribers to download Mathcad worksheets, ready to import for those using PTC Mathcad software. Last week, Knovel announced that it has uploaded a new batch of Mathcad workssheets, more than 600 in total. After PTC's agreement with McGraw-Hill comes to expire, PTC will no longer provide Mathcad worksheets, so Mathcad users who want them will need to download them from Knovel.
PTC press office explains, "Mathcad users who had received our libraries prior to the contract expiration can continue to use them with Mathcad 14.0 and 15.0. [The content is] not updated for Mathcad Prime 1.0. If those users, and new Mathcad users, want access to more Mathcad worksheets, covering more use cases, in both Imperial and Metric unit systems, they can create an account with Knovel. Active PTC maintenance customers are eligible for 10 free downloads from Knovel."
The worksheets recently uploaded to Knovel covers content in:
- Electrical Engineering;
- Power Systems Engineering; and
- Finite Element Basics.
According to Knovel, "These new worksheets are fully compatible with Mathcad 14.0, 15.0 and the recently introduced Mathcad Prime 1.0. The Knovel Math expansion enables engineers to quickly find and solve systems of equations across a wider range of topics via a collection of fully documented and validated Mathcad worksheets."
"All in all, we feel that Mathcad users have access to a much broader range of worksheets at a price point that is more affordable through Knovel than when Mathsoft and PTC were charging for the libraries," explained PTC press office.
Content Expension at Knovel: Last month, Knovel add a new subject area for subscribers, Mining Engineering & Extractive Metallurgy. "This new subject area offers 68 reference titles from well-known publishers and societies such as Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME), Elsevier, and Wiley," the company announced.
Knovel maintains a thriving fan base on Facebook, at http://www.facebook.com/Knovel.
5 Responses to Knovel: 600 More Mathcad Worksheets Go Online
Are the worksheets peer reviewed and approved before going online to ensure that the output is consistent and accurate?
Roark's, Finite Element Beginnings, etc. are available as a free download from PTC for maintenance paying customers as the Mechanical Engineering Libraries. To get the same content in Mathcad Prime, you now have to subscribe to Knovel. Something smells in Denmark.
Hello there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is really informative. I'm gonna watch out for brussels. I will be grateful if you continue this in future. Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Mathcad Worksheets is best for engineering practises.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Board of elections does not plan to review the eligibility of an Albany city commission candidate unless a voter in his ward issues a formal complaint.
Court records show Arthur Williams has several tax liens against him that go back more than a decade.
He owes the Internal Revenue Service close to $100,000.
The Georgia Constitution says a person who defaults on taxes cannot hold public office unless the candidate is on a payment plan to repay those taxes.
Elections Supervisor Ginger Nickerson says she will not take the matter before the Board of elections at its meeting on Wednesday.
If a Ward three voter plans to challenge Williams' qualifications, they must do that by Friday.

I snapped a few pictures of our living room yesterday.
It is important to me that our home is comfortable and liveable, so I don't stress a lot about making sure everything is too perfect. Decorating is definitely a hobby and passion of mine, and I believe it serves multiple purposes. But, to me, the most important goals are to beautify our surroundings, create a warm environment, and make it function for the day-to-day use of our family.
And, to me, there is no other way to do that except with {my favorite} vintage pieces!
I have actually been working on painting a different lamp for this table. I am really liking how it is turning out. As soon as it is finished, I will do a post so everyone can see!
The table, itself, is a work in progress as well. I wanted a nice tall table for beind the couch and I found some old legs at a thrift store, so I went ahead and just built a little table. Now I am having a hard time deciding on what kind of paint/finish I want on it, so I thought I would just live with it for a while until I decide.
I refinished this buffet a few years ago with my favorite creamy white paint and I absolutely love it. It is so chunky and sturdy and it works really well to store all of the baby toys.
I am switching out the artwork over the buffet, so I guess these will serve as good before pictures! I am putting a set of 6 of these botanical prints in Pottery Barn inspired burlap mattes and frames
{featured on Knock Off Decor last month}.
I am switching around most of the accessories as well.
From here, you can see a glimpse of the entry way with my big chalkboard. I am trying to decide which summer quote I want to put up there... Anyone have any good ones? I am having a really hard time trying to decide!
On the big, massive wall in our living room, I have a tall framed Monogram that I stitched by hand onto tea-dyed pintuck muslin. This thing is really huge.
I found these big corbels at a local antique mall, so I built a shelf out of them.
On one of the side walls, I have a pair of my vintage ice cream stools that my mom bought me for my birthday a couple years ago. I absolutely love them!
As dorky as this sounds, I am really proud of this house plant! I have kept it alive for about 4 months now! I am sure you are impressed ; ). I haven't been successful with houseplants in the past, so I am pretty excited that she is still alive. I think she needs a name... Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for taking a peek into our home!

Interested in a new smartphone from Verizon? The nation's largest cell provider isn't a bad choice. Verizon has the largest 4G LTE network in the country, the best data speeds, and some of this holiday season's best phones exclusively for Verizon customers. So if you're on the ropes about which provider to sign up with, want to switch, or are already a Verizon customer looking to upgrade, check out this handy guide of tested Verizon smartphones and find one that suits you.
And Amazon Wireless has an amazing deal on all Verizon phones that don't start with the letter "i": they're a penny each! Offer ends November 28th at midnight, so don't wait!
Apple iPhone 4S
It almost sounds like a copout to day that the iPhone 4S is the best phone available, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. iOS is still simply better than Android as an operating system, and while the iPhone isn't the slimmest, the lightest, nor the fastest phone around, it is the best overall package you can get on a smartphone today. You can't go wrong with the 4S, even if it lacks access to Verizon's LTE network.
Motorola Droid Bionic
The Droid Bionic is the first Motorola handset to upgrade above and beyond their typical Droid series, and those changes really shine. It's fast, the enhanced UI is sleek, and as a handset the Bionic stands out with a great gunmetal finish and top-of-the-line charm. You really can't go wrong with the Droid Bionic thanks to it running 4G LTE, a great Super AMOLED display, and some of the best UI upgrades seen this side of Android.
HTC Droid Incredible 2
The Droid Incredible 2 isn't what you'd expect in a lineup of high-end devices, but this mid-range phone isn't to be taken lightly. It's impressively fast, smaller than most of today's phones but great in the hand and pocket, and it feels simple but isn't. The internal hardware is powerful beyond the phone's needs. It may lack LTE, but the Incredible 2 is, like the name implies, pretty darn incredible.
HTC Rezound
Closing up the bottom of the list, the HTC Rezound has three major first: the first 720p display, the first phone with Beats Audio integration, and the first 1.5GHz processor (in the US). Running on LTE, the Rezound is a speed demon, though all those features kill the battery real quick. It's literally packed to the brim with features, and prospective buyers won't be disappointed.
But What About…
Motorola Droid Razr
It's the thinnest smartphone out on the market today, but we haven't had a chance to get our paws on it yet. From all reports, the Droid Razr is one of the best Android phones to ever release (which isn't?). If it's as similar to the Droid Bionic as I'm told, then it's likely an excellent buy, but without some hands-on time I can't recommend it just yet.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Due out sometime this week (or perhaps next week, or sometime soon…there's no set release date), the Galaxy Nexus has already received rave reviews because of it's excellent design, great 720p display, brand new Android 4.0 software, and a slew of other things. However, with no word on when it's due to release, as well as never having tested it ourselves (but expecting to shortly), we'll keep the Galaxy Nexus under wraps. All I do know for sure is that it's not quite as powerful as the Galaxy S II, but is intended to be the next "Google" phone, so to speak. Meaning that it'll receive instantaneous updates to the operating system before most other phones and have limited interference from cell providers (in this case, Verizon) or handset manufacturers (Samsung). But once again, we'll have to wait and see.

Comfort Level: Do You Like Precision or Wiggle Room?
Do lists of weights and precise instructions make you breathe a sigh of relief? Or is it phrases like "approximate," "roughly," and "more or less" that draw you to a recipe? These are both very different approaches to cooking - neither is right or wrong, or even better or worse! We're curious where you feel most comfortable?
For the most part, I prefer a little wiggle room in my recipes. I like judging things for myself and having the freedom to change things if I want to. When I try making recipes that require measuring down to the teaspoon or strict adherence to techniques, I start to feel all antsy and fussy!
But I also fully admit that sometimes straying from the path can lead to unexpected places! Most recipes I make are fine if I add too many onions or add the eggs before the butter is fully creamed. But there are occasional less-than-tasty results. When I'm throwing a dinner party, I definitely tend to stick to the recipe more than I might otherwise!
What kind of a cook are you?

I like recipes with wiggle room, but I hate when one calls for a medium "something" like an onion! What makes an onion (or other items) small, medium, or large? Seems it's all perception to me! I love onions though!
for cooking, i do what i want.
for baking, i do what the recipe says. i have veered off recipe, and it has been at my peril.
Except for baking, I like recipes with wiggle room. Making a few of my own decisions during the process makes the product more of my own!
I follow measurements pretty loosely. A lot of what I cook I like to season to taste.
I'm the same as hmo, I keep to the recipe pretty strictly when I am baking because I ruin cookies, but if I am just cooking dinner I am much more likely to veer off the recipe (even if I've never tried it before).
If there is a spice or an ingredient that I don't have and probably won't use the rest of (like fresh parsley), I make substitutions.
I do get confused by words like the 'Zest' of one lemon. A couple times I've run into a 'handful' of nuts/dried fruit. As a 5'1" woman (sometimes I still wear children's gloves) I don't think my handful could be considered a standard 'handful'.
Wiggle room! I can't measure straight, plus I'm not happy with a recipe until I've changed at least three key ingredients.
But I don't do traditional baking, and I think we can see why.
I pretty much only bake, and I like precise measurement. I despise "6 cups of flour". Call out how many grams you need.
Serious baking is done by weight, not by volume.
As I've become more comfortable and accomplished in the kitchen, I tend to give myself more wiggle room than what I had previously. The one exception to this would be when I am baking something for the first time-in that instance, I follow directions and measurements pretty closely.
I usually stick to the recipe pretty severely when it's my first time trying a new complicated dish. I get especially rigid with new recipes that call for a lot of different spice varieties (a terrifyingly authentic lamb vindaloo had be up to my eyeballs in measuring spoons). Otherwise, I wiggle with it.
To add to my previous comment, one of the other things I don't like is "bake until golden brown". Even though my oven runs right at temperature, it seems that cooking times are ALWAYS longer.
Internal temperatures with a fast probe thermometer, please!
what hmo said, which is why i'm not a great baker (i'm not bad, i just don't enjoy it as much as the freedom of cooking).
i feel much more comfortable having made something once, to substitute or replace things the second time i make it - i.e. chard for kale, almonds for walnuts. this applies only to cooking, though, as i feel i never know with baking if i want to substitute honey for the sugar, how that effects the rest of the water in the recipe. totally ruined a batch of almond cookies i was trying to make once by doing this, even after consulting the internets for replacement strategies.
precision for baking, wiggle room for cooking! Although with the recipes I've been making these days, I need a kitchen scale!
Confession time - I a wiggler, EVEN when baking and with first time recipes. Not too many disasters, but I wonder some times if more patience (i.e. careful measurements) might have given me better results.
C'est la vie
When it comes to recipes, I prefer recipes that are fairly specific and call for specific weights and measures. THEN I know if I can afford to wiggle if I want. What I find most annoying is recipes that aren't specific, so I'm not really sure what the writer intended. I usually end up omitting one ingredient or subbing something, and I like to have a feeling whether it's a "deal breaker" that will wreck some key method (i.e. omitting an ingredient that has a great deal of moisture in it and thus it won't take as long to saute the remaining ingredients). Generally though, I've learned to go with my gut when I find a recipe isn't written very well.
I like wiggle room in recipe, but I also like sticking to the tried-and-true methods of cooking. I feel like you can play with what's in a recipe a lot more than how you put the recipe together.
wiggle room!
I prefer recipes that are precise. However, I will wiggle when using them for the most part. Even when baking.
Basically, I like to know what exactly worked for them. That way I'll have the choice to wiggle it or not. If they just give you an estimate, then you have no choice.
LOTS of wiggle room. I use recipes more as suggestions rather than instructions. I look at the ingredients list to get a general idea of what's in it and in what proportions, and maybe glance through the prep directions if I'm not familiar with the methods needed. But I rely on my own experience and knowledge of my (and my husband's) taste preferences to wing it. It kills me to see instructions like "saute 3/4 cup diced onion with 2T olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the onions begin to brown". I guess just got tired of that and stopped bothering to read it all.
I do love cookbooks, but I really only use them to get ideas for new ways to combine ingredients and flavors ... or to reference when I need to come up with a few different ways to use the same ingredient. I'm not very good at just inventing new combinations, so I find recipes really helpful there. But even then, I generally just glance at the list of ingredients and I'm on my way.
I do measure for baking, because there is slightly less flexibility there when it comes to proportions ... but even then, I'm pretty relaxed about it, and generally have great results. But I admit I'm not making incredibly intricate pastries or anything.
I wouldn't last five minutes in a test kitchen.
Oh, I'm a wiggler. I really just like to use recipes as new flavor combination ideas....I cannot be bothered to measure out anything!
Even my favorite baking projects are ones like crumbles or claflouti where you work more by texture than by measurement.
It's sheer laziness though. I should probably work on it. I bet we would eat a greater variety of things.
I'm going to have to agree with all the above posters who commented that baking requires precision while cooking can stand some wiggle room.
I like precision; I come from a family of lousy cooks and learned to cook from cookbooks, so I never really learned the "cooking by feel" thing. I'm finding, though, that as I become a more experienced cook, I feel more confident in adjusting recipes, even new ones. For example, I almost always decrease the amount of meat in dishes, increase the amount of vegetables, and substitute a healthier fat for butter. In baking, I find you can often cut the fat in half, and I almost always substitute whole wheat flour for half the white flour called for in recipes.
Like many others... I'm precise for baking. Wishing someone would/could standardize receipes with WEIGHTS! I hate 2 cups of this, a half cup of that. Maybe it's my OCD coming out, but seriously... my half cup and your half cup could weigh significantly different amounts!
Wiggle room for me. Perhaps a new name for the room where I cook - 'Wiggle Room'! Kind of goes with the other rooms... Bathroom, Living Room, Dining Room, Bedroom, Wiggle Room....
Exactly what jcwren said. Why can't books put the grams in also, for the people that want them? Baking should always be done in weight for the best results.
However, for cooking I never follow recipes exactly....I absolutely love Jamie Oliver's books where he calls for things like "a glug of olive oil."
Both! 90% of the time I like lots of wiggle room and see recipes as loose suggestions. I even like "recipes" with no amounts at all, just a list of ingredients and how to cook (saute onions, garlic, zucchini, add tomatoes & fresh herbs, toss with pasta).
But I also love cooks Illustrated for learning the why and how of accomplishing something specific in the kitchen.
All recipes need adjusting. Having an imprecise recipe is what takes away your 'wiggle room'.
It's easy to adjust a precise recipe. Making something precise out of a recipe full of 'pinches' and 'hand fulls' is what's hard.
Precise recipes, if nothing else, massively cut down the time wasted during 'trial and error'.
I like both, but as I've gotten better at precision, I've figured out how to wiggle within that.
I wiggle! When I'm cooking, I only use recipes as inspiration or guidelines. When I bake I keep the main ingredients the same, but often stir in extras like zest, nuts or dried fruit.
Biggest pet peeves:
- exact measurements of ingredients that resist measurement (herbs, leafy things, etc...)
- recipes that use qualifiers like small, medium and large for ingredients when exact measures or weights would be more useful.
I should mention that I graduated from culinary school, so I'm perhaps more comfortable relying on basic technique, experience and instinct than the average home cook.
If I'm reading a recipe I want a list of weights and measures. I'm looking at a recipe for a reason, usually wanting to duplicate something that someone else has already done/been successful with. Wiggle room should be inferred in any recipe though.
Baking I try* to be as careful as possible, but I usually have a lot of other things going on and a lack of ingredients (hey, we can always cut the flour amount in half and just substitute whole wheat flour, right? ha...?)
Generally for cooking I just read the recipe for a little guidance and then improvise.... except for this:
The only time I don't wing a dish is when it's a complicated spice blend that I don't have my own taste for yet... like when I made a lamb stew, moroccan-style. Literally had no idea what to put in there to make the flavors balance. One time i tried to make a curry without a recipe and once I had put stuff in and it didn't taste, right I couldn't fix it! It was an ultimate kitchen failure-- I kept adding things and yeesh, nothing good was happening. Boyfriend wouldn't even say it was good. Learned my lesson right quick.
It really depends on if you're "right brained" or "left brained" just like some people are engineers, and some artists. I just happen to be someone who uses both sides pretty well. Pastry is my profession because I'm a precise and often ordered/organized person. But, I also love to cook, which allows for "correcting" a recipe (adding seasoning, liquids, etc as you taste). So, my baking recipes are by weight, but I can't tell you how much of something I add in my soups or sauces because those I cook to taste. If it's something I've never made before, I'll follow exactly to see how it is supposed to turn out because it's all about science and balance. Even if you consider "wiggle room," adding too much of anything will end in disaster.
I find wiggle room only works for cooking. If I'm baking, if my measurements aren't 95-100% per instructions, I find myself with a botched mess.
I find I'm a mixture of both. The better I know a recipe, the more wiggle room I can dance into it. Of course, we are talking about cooking and not baking. That said, I can modify a lot of baked goods to change the flavor profile (add lavender, zest, or spice to shortbread, for example), but this has to be done judiciously and with knowledge (replacing half the oils with applesauce).
And, as I find myself more comfortable and competant in the kitchen, I find myself winging it more often. Leftovers have to be "reconstituted" into new dishes for the partner to eat them, so I get a bit creative, odd, but creative.
I hardly ever actually measure anything, but just scoop and spoon and eyeball. Too lazy to bother with precise measurements, and it always works fine.
Except for baking. I've had too many disasters there to count. So now I stay to the straight and narrow when baking - measure exactly, weigh ingredients, sift if needed - the whole ball of unbelievably precise wax...
Like other commenters, I follow recipes (more or less) when it comes to baking, which seems to be more of a science unless you REALLY know what you're doing. That's why I don't bake much. I hate the back-and-forth between stove and recipe...constantly checking my measurements...it is such a boring, mindless hassle. totally uninteresting (except for the eating part...which I still love enough to occasionally bake some things).
I much prefer cooking and dishes where I can do my own thing. I do read lots of recipes, but they are for inspiration and to learn techniques and ideas.
I think there is a consensus of baking v. cooking in terms of precision, but I really try to pay attention to the ratio of ingredients in recipes more than anything else.
I'm more of a baker than cook, although I'm starting to cook a lot more lately and I love it. My favorite scenario is when I'm comfortable enough with a recipe to know what wiggle room works and when you have to be precise. With baking, I tend to stick with the recipe pretty religiously if I've never made it before; if I have, I usually know what I can get away with.
I don't tend to cook with recipes at all - I just put stuff together, so I have infinite wiggle room there!
"wiggle room" is really a bad idea, honestly. recipes are written so that anyone can, with knowledge of the specific techniques and after reading it, make the exact same thing that anyone else made from the same recipe. so seeing stuff like "add a small fistful, not too much, but not too little, of flour" is absolutely worthless. yeah, it's a great ego exercise, and fine if you're just writing your own recipes for you and nobody else, but in the end it's bad habit.
Well, I prefer recipes that do not list the quantity at all. In fact, unless I am baking, which I rarely do, I never even look at the column that lists the quantities. I only use the ingredients and than mix them approximately in the same way as described in the recipe. If I do look at the quantities, it is to get an idea of the proportion. I don't think I could follow any recipe down to the last teaspoon if you held a gun to my head.
And frankly, it does not matter whether you add a small onion, a medium onion or a very large onion. The amount of onion you should add depends on how much you like or dislike onion. It is perfectly possible to make dish that requires onion to be cooked without any onions at all if you do not like onions.
Only new or inexperienced cooks with slavishly follow recipes. For me a recipe is just a way to find out the basic idea of a dish, after that I make it using my own likes and dislike, what I have at home, how many people I will be feeding etc.
As someone who usually cooks from scratch, (any more from scratch and I would be amish), I do not even own any measuring spoons or a thermometer. I do have measuring cups in the four standard sizes but I use them only when baking.
The only place where I do use some kind of measurement is for cooking rice, which really infuriates my mother who can get a pretty good perfect rice with perfect proportion of rice and water by just looking. I could too do it (and have done it at times), I just do not feel confident. I guess that is why most American cooks need such precise measurements. Because they do not feel confident.

Well the types of zombies you're going to create depends on what is the reason for their appeareance. Seeing it's a disease-based contagion system, traditional zombies are the easier and cheaper way to do it in their appearance. It's easy to have bloodshot eyes, bits of flesh missing and death palor.
Regarding movements, slow zombies I think make it boring unless they're in large groups, which adds strain to a budget. And make-up and SPFX will cost you an arm and a leg if you want good quality + long shots. Get them moving fast, like feral creatures. That would put stress on the people fighting them and give you some ideas to play with, like zombies as rats in the giant maze of a city, still intelligent enough to try and break out. Thus threatening to infect the rest of the population. Would probably work well with a District 9 type of shooting.
No comments.
All I can say is this: traditional, slow zombies. Mostly because that's the kind they've been writing up theories about (like, offical theories. in universities... In Ottawa) and because I'm in love with Max Brook's books.
And if not slow, the challenge should be their number, not their speed and power. Dawn of the Dead had fast zombies and they only ran at the beggining (going into the mall) and at the very end (trying to get to the boat). The rest was strategy. Sure, they all died in the end, but that's because they lost the smart one to the zombies.
From what we're talking so far, story-wise, the point seems to be the spread of the virus, not the survival of the humans. Slow zombies would work perfectly for that.

Zombie infection online
A new twist on the zombie infections could be that the infection spreads through some kind of sound or visual effect online. That way lots of people could be infected in no time, just like computer viruses are spreading nowadays.
Another twist could be that there's some kind of zombie infection kit that one can order online and that is then peddled on eBay etc.
Yes, eBay would be fun. Could even sell something for real on there and connect with the movie promotion.October 16, 2009 23:26 0 Thumb-ups

Good morning, all-
I hope some of you made it out to the practice Saturday morning at Bobby Dodd. Jaybo Shaw looked pretty good running the offense after Josh Nesbitt sustained a shoulder injury. Nesbitt, if you're wondering, should be fine. Paul Johnson was not worried, and Nesbitt stayed for the remainder of the practice and did not look like he was in any significant pain nor did it look like he was wearing anything to stabilize the shoulder. We should find out more this afternoon at practice.
Before I forget, there was a question on Wednesday's blog about the offensive linemen who have been out. Clyde Yandell, Dan Voss, Nick Claytor and Cord Howard are all expected back for fall practice. To my knowledge, there isn't anyone who has been out whose injury is more long-term than that.
Besides Shaw's running the offense fairly well, the other main observation I had – and this is sort of related to Shaw playing well – is that the running game looked strong. Jonathan Dwyer didn't play much at all, but Shaw, Anthony Allen, Roddy Jones, Preston Lyons, Richard Watson and Tevin Washington all had runs of 7-8 yards or more. I suppose you could also say that the run defense could be better. In fact, that is what Johnson said after, that he felt that the scrimmage was much like the rest of spring practice, the defense couldn't stop the run and the offense couldn't pass the ball.
Along those lines, there was some trouble with the passing game. A lot of incomplete passes, though I definitely wouldn't put that all on Shaw or Washington. I confess I don't remember having a strong feeling either way about the protection, so it was interesting to me that co-offensive line coach Mike Sewak was encouraged by the line's play, both on the run and pass. Sewak is not someone who is easily pleased. He said he saw the linemen not panicking in the face of blitzes and defensive line stunts and keeping with their technique.
"That's a huge plus," he said. "It's been a lot better."
One other thing he pointed out was that he thought the linemen were getting tougher in terms of playing through pain.
"They fought through getting kicked in the ribs, getting kneed in the thigh and stuff like that," he said. "They're showing signs of mental toughness, and when you run the ball, you have to show signs of mental toughness."
Again, given how much this staff (and I assume most coaching staffs) value toughness, this means that the line is getting closer to the standard that the coaches are setting.
One other point that Sewak made that I'd never thought about – the departure of Michael Johnson, Darryl Richard and Vance Walker hurts Tech not only on the defensive line, but also on the offensive line because those linemen don't get the chance to practice against that sort of talent every day in practice.
I asked him about who he thought had made the most progress, and he demurred, in part because, usually, first-teamers go against first-teamers and second-teamers go against second-teamers, so it's not always easy to know if a second-teamer is making real progress or is just in a mismatch. So the real answer on how far the offensive line (or defensive line) may not come until the Clemson game.
Kevin Cone has worked his way up the depth chart. The walk-on, a transfer from Shorter College and son of former Yellow Jacket Ronny Cone, started in place of Tyler Melton at wide receiver alongside Demaryius Thomas. Melton got a hip pointer on Friday and was out. It bears mention that Zach Fisher, the likely No. 3, is out after having surgery to repair what Johnson thought was a sports hernia. So Cone could be No. 4.
Both sides moved a lot of players in and out with the first and second teams, like guard Omoregie Uzzi and Watson working with the first string and a lot of mixing and matching with the cornerbacks.
"You try to move those guys around a little bit, because if you're playing with the first group, it's going to be different than playing with the second group," quarterbacks/B-backs coach Brian Bohannon said, "To get a good evaluation, to see where everybody's at, you move them around a little bit and see how they react in different situations with different groups."
Anyway, I hope that's of some insight for you. One more week of spring ball to go. You likely know, but the T-Day Game will be noon on Saturday at Bobby Dodd. I think we'll try to touch more on special teams this week in the coverage. If there's anything else you want to hear about, please ask.

More small injuries which slowly hinder the total progress of the team…YES I do know that it is spring and a long time until fall…but also in that regard it is a long time until fall and I wish we could run our entire real game first unit for a few plays to see how that goes for us.
In that regard, Ken you said the pass game wasn't made bad by Jaybo or Tevin so I am guessing our recievers could not catch the ball or was the coverage actually strong during most of the scrimmage?
I keep hearing about how people like Jaybo running some of the offense but I think it should be noted there is a HUGE gap between Nes at #1 and Jaybo at #2…
Other than that it is good to hear how the younger lineman are getting GOOD reps and will be there just in case this coming year.

Will someone post rosters for the game this Saturday? Is it underclassmen vs seniors? Bigs vs quicks? How do they decide?

Ken – It was commonly reported during the course of last season that CPJ had only installed 35-40% of his playbook. How much more of the offense has been installed between the bowl proctice period and this spring? How much more diverse does CPJ expect the offense to be by the time the season starts next fall? Overall, how is the passing game progressing?
April 13th, 2009
9:14 am
Tech82…from what has been said over the past few weeks it seems PJ has said he would like to get to 60% run 40% pass and that it has been like that most of the practices…don't know if that fully answers your question but I hope it helps.
The passing game has been very off and on over all the practices from all that I have heard…somedays its really good with recievers making plays and quarterbacks making the right reads…other days recievers aren't doing the small things right and the defense seems to be better.
April 13th, 2009

Fear not folks, the Robot will be back. No, not the roll call from last week, but Josh Nesbitt. He'll be back and we'll get the 60/40 pass/run ratio down. With 60% completion percentage. Book it. THWG!
April 13th, 2009

Hey Ken, yeah – I'm holding you to your promise about an update on the competition at FG kicker & punter, including your opinion as to whether we can expect better this year.
Also, keep us imformed as much as possible about the progress of the D-line. Who would you rate as the top two DE's after Morgan, and which DE has the most potential to emerge as a speed rusher? You mentioned the initial 4-man rotation at DT earlier, but are any of these guys really stepping it up? Is the new kid Lanier enrolled & at practice?

"In fact, that is what Johnson said after, that he felt that the scrimmage was much like the rest of spring practice, the defense couldn't stop the run and the offense couldn't pass the ball."
That worries me. Then again, its only spring, right?

I still like Shaw over Nesbitt at QB. I know, I know but I've never been able to get over Nesbitt coming to Tech only because UGAG wouldn't sign him as a QB. I know one thing: From looking at UGAG's spring practice game, we'll be having many Tickle Piles this fall while UGAG will be having it's worst team in years. A truly pathetic team not to mention school!!! Huge Tickle Piles coming!!!
April 13th, 2009

Ronny Cone, a blast from the past!!!

How does Preston Lyons look. He transferred from where? Shaw fumbled a lot last year is he handling the hand offs better or can we tell yet?

Nesbitt is a machine. He'll be back.

First, I don't think it matters who's running as the # 2 WR in spring, b/c come fall I believe that the # 2 WR will be Stephen Hill. Besides BayBay, we don't have anyone, Hill hopefully has the talent to play right away.
OL has the be able to pass protect and the QB's have to be more accurate along w/ making the right reads.

Hey Rain…if you are thinking about J.C and T.J together in the near future I am right there with you ….I wouldn't mind having two bruising 300lb's clog up the entire middle of the o-line and let our up and coming LB's go wild!!
Also Big B CH 99…I disagree with you because in the end PJ likes red-shirting incoming freshmen especially since Hill hasn't been at Spring and how different this offense is that he will be coming into I DOUBT we will see him…not saying it won't happen but I doubt it (let him catch TD's next year in Nes's senior year and us having a championship caliber team )…
April 13th, 2009

Is not one of the issues with the pass protection that the offensive linemen are in a forward lean to execute the run blocks and that makes it difficult to get back in pass protection? And if they get back more in their stance it tips the D that a pass is coming?

yellowblood, you are really making us quiver after what happened last Nov. HIstory is not helping you right now. At least wait until you have a team to beat us. Your sticking you neck out on a UGA team who just lost Stafford and Moreno. OOOh, you are really scaring us right now.
April 13th, 2009
12:11 pm
Anthony Allen will be a big boost, literally and figuratively. The passing game will grow significantly, and Morgan Burnett will be one of the top three defensive backs in the nation, joining Berry and a third to be determined. Enjoy him while you can.
Back to the job hunt . . .

I have been to every scrimmage and several of the practices. The DT spot is no longer a concern to me. We now have a nasty rotation of big strong guys that can avail themselves to several different type yardage situations. I have yet to see our #1 offense get anything consistent going up the gut on Anderson or Peters even with the cut blocking. What I have seen is a good amount of stacking up the line and disruptions in the backfield by our DTs. With Walls and Barnes standing at the ready we may actually be in better shape than last year. We have speed and strength in our stables at DT. If the Oline coach thinks his players are not getting the proper competition by our DTs at practice in comparison to last year than why are our DTs spending so much time in the backfield during the scrimmages? Even with the difficult to defend cut blocking, Giff has done a good job bringing along these players. I can't wait for our DTs to play a team where they don't have to deal with our offensive style of blocking. We are going to be fine at DT.

Let's the boys play this Saturday. For gosh's sake, this nonsense about not playing foot-ball the week after Easter is driving me nutcase. Can you report on that? Are we playing or are we not? I'd prefer play than not. And stop being a sissy about it. This is Georgia Tech for Pete's sake. Act like a man and play some ball.
I've never had a shoulder injury in my life that a good ointment couldn't cure.

Thanks Matt a.k.a. "Bono!" tip bit of news on Secondary. I believe Morgan maybe exiting soon and North Avenue Wreck for the info.
Ken, is it fair for me to ask you for a grade on the defense (1 to 5) from the beginning of spring to now? Ramlin Wreck! Thanks again. Ramblin Wreck!

Ken, you're a fine reporter. Ask the Coach if he allows the boys water during practice. And where does he buy his salt pills? A good salt pill will turn a boy into a man and a man into a football player. THWG!

Curious about how Zack Frayzer from Etowah High is doing. He was mentioned a couple of times in articles earlier in the Spring but has been left out recently?

"Tickle Pile" – A made up term by a UGA fan to get over his anger of what happened to his poor little dawgs November 29th 2008. There is no photo evidence of a "tickle pile" ever taking place. There is however photo evidence of Matt Stafford and friends in what is known at UGA as a
"CUDDLE PILE" – This is where you spoon a fellow up and coming athlete and let him know his first time will be ok. See photo of stafford below:

Please stop with all of this cuddle pile nonsense. I founded this blogpostsphere to discuss foot-ball and foot-ball related injuries and such. And this girlie nonsense doesn't qualify for either.

I respect Ken and his opinion. He knows his stuff and I always look forward to his narratives. However, I have payed close attention to the DT position this year because of all the specualation. Like Ken nothing jumps out at me as in flashy and exclusive play. What I have seen is consistent hard nose play against what I consider pretty good Olinemen and very defender difficult style of blocking. They have stacked them up plenty and been in the back field disrupting things. I personally feel that Joe Gilbert will be one of the best Olinemen in the ACC if not the country. He and Anderson have gone at it and I believe they are both better for it. Vance and Darryl shined against our offense in last years Spring Game but our offense was in it's infancy. This stlyle of blocking and running after a year of installment and practice is deadly for a DT. With all that considered I feel our DTs are way ahead of where our fans think they are. We are blue collar along the front and we have aDT for every position. As far as Lanier is concerned, man it would be great if he could come in and make an impact but I think it may be too much to expect froma young guy. He will have Gilbert and others to contend with not to mention the general adjustment of college life. My prediction is a red shirt.
April 13th, 2009
4:50 pm
I meant to say that it seems we now have a DT for every situation. In addition, Barnes will get better and better and Walls is a load. I cant wait for these guys to play against another oline. CPJ's schemes are nasty and our DTs are better for practicing against it.
April 13th, 2009

Vet, good to see a man of medicine on these blogposts. I've seen and read about things here that only a good collection of hearty leaches would cure.
I will research your recommendation and present it to the review board. Neuticles, you say? I do not know of what you speak. But I trust the medical arts and Coca-Cola. Hazzah!
Tell me of some foot-ball related injuries that I may get jollys from. Speak, man, speak!

I'd like to see weight room competition between the O line and the D line from now until fall practice begins. Let them compete against each other for pride, steak dinner, whatever. Something to motivate both of them to work very, very hard between now and the fall. Getting stronger can only help!!
April 13th, 2009
6:37 pm
GTwinsNC, our O-line doesn't "drop back" to pass protect. They burst forward on every play, run or pass. To do this effectively, it requires more technique and skill than to drop back. That's why offensive lines have gotten bigger over the past 20 years: it's easier to add weight than it is to teach skill.
CPJ's passing game at Navy was very effective and efficient, having one of the highest QB ratings every year, regardless of yardage. When our guys grasp the technique of bursting forward to pass protect, watch out! I hope they get it by fall.
April 13th, 2009
6:52 pm
ESPN on UGA's spring game: "this is an offense that needs to find some more firepower before the 2009 season gets here." For all our issues so far this spring, I think we're better off than our foes on the old farm.
