DescriptionChateau d'Yquem 1990
Bottle (8)
"Truly superb. Yellow with a gold hue. Intense spice, honey and dried orange peel aromas. Full-bodied, very sweet and very alive. Vibrant Sauternes that goes on and on on the palate. Doesn't get much better than this. Beautiful now, but wait." (95 pts. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, Aug. 2000)
"An extraordinary effort, Yquem's 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine's medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, coconut, and apricots. High quality, subtle toasty oak is well-integrated. The wine is massive on the palate, with layers of intensely ripe botrytis-tinged, exceptionally sweet fruit. Surprisingly well-integrated acidity, and a seamless, full-bodied power and richness have created a wine of remarkable harmony and purity. Certainly it is one of the richest Yquems I have ever tasted, with 50-100 years of potential longevity. An awesome Yquem!" (99 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122, Apr. 1999)

Sounds like it is roasting.
Baking is usually not used for meats except in cases of small cuts or where the meat has been processed or prepared to make it drastically different from the original cut (for example, a stuffed chicken breast or a meatloaf or meatballs).
Steaming is when you cook food elevated over boiling water which releases steam (invisible water vapor) which cooks the food.
When something is covered and its own juices have evaporated but cannot escape and that water vapor contributes to the cooking process, the final food may resemble food which is cooked by steaming, but we would not refer to the cooking method nor the final product as steamed or steaming (we might use that language to describe the texture or taste of the final product).
Cooking a large intact piece of meat in the oven is called roasting. The term derives from the original meaning of roasting which predates ovens when people would cook large intact meat over a fire.

so u are saying when people say steam or its steaming when food cooks in their own juices...you dont use that phrase unless your referring to the texture of the food etc. would this also apply to a baked potato wrapped in foil ? bec. i hear that its steamed, a lot. And what about say brats u cook in a frying pan also known to me as the sausage u get at fairs...with onions green pepper.Ihave been told to cook them using a frying pan and some water and a lid and have been said to me this is steaming them?

There's no governing body that polices how people use language related to the cooking of food. Some of the worst offenders are restaurants when they attempt to make their food and preparation descriptions sound as appetizing as possible. I normally wouldn't have any problem with describing a potato covered in foil as steamed or fish in a parchment paper pouch as steamed, however, since I write a cooking website and author recipes, I am keenly aware that some cooking terms cannot be loosely applied without introducing confusion. Particularly "steaming" which requires the use of a boiling water source to provide continuous steam. Even though, the juices of an ingredient may be evaporated into steam and that steam is used to cook the ingredient, this is not the cooking technique of steaming. So that means, a potato in foil, a fish in parchment, or pretty much anything microwaved (the heating action actually comes from the water molecules heating up inside the ingredient so some amount of heating actually comes from internal "steaming").
A potato wrapped in foil is still a baked potato. It's just another way to bake it. Fish in a parchment pouch would also be baked fish - the cooking method is different enough than laying a whole seasoned fish in an oven for it to be referred to as "baking" instead of "roasting".
Brats in a pan with oil and water would be pan fried. Brats in a pan with water without oil would be boiled. (In steaming, the food being cooked cannot touch the boiling water.)

After going vegan, one of the happiest realizations I had was that it was not really the meat I missed in dishes I would no longer cook or eat: it was the spices.In fact, whenever I remember an old favorite, like a meat curry or biryani, I find that cooking the dish with vegetable substitutes and the same spices gives me the same satisfied feeling. In the past, I've shared recipes for such old favorites as My Dad's "Not Mutton" Mushroom Curry and biryani. For these I used vegetables like mushrooms to substitute for the meat, but in today's recipe I use a more common meat substitute: textured vegetable protein, or TVP.
Kheema, or mince, usually refers to lamb or goat meat mince in India. The TVP granules are made of soy and have a great, chewy texture besides loads of great protein. So you get all the joy of eating kheema without the fat and cruelty. What more could one ask for?
I make the vegan kheema almost exactly like I used to make the regular version: with lots of veggies and spices. As I almost always do, I made my own spice mix, but you can subsitute with garam masala powder if you happen to have it on hand. I also add some coconut milk to my kheema which takes the edge off the spices, while adding yet another layer of flavor and texture.
The end result is a highly nutritious, delicious dish that's wonderful with chapatis and even rice. Trust me, you'll never miss the meat. And it takes far less time to cook than meat would, which, in my book, makes it an all-round winner.
Spicy Vegan 'Kheema' (Mince)
- 1 cup soya granules or textured vegetable protein (TVP), soaked in boiling water for at least 15 minutes. Drain and squeeze out the excess water.
- 1 tbsp canola or any vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 5 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 tomatoes , diced
- 1 cup carrots , cut into a very small dice
- 1 cup green peas (I used frozen)
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4-5 sprigs of mint , leaves removed from the stems, then chopped
- Grind into a fine powder in a coffee/spice grinder:
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 3 cardamom cloves
- 4 cloves
- 1 1- inch stick of cinnamon
- 2 red chillies
- 1 tbsp peppercorns (use less or skip if you don't want the kheema to be too spicy)
- Heat the oil in a wide saucepan.
- Add the ginger and garlic and saute for a minute until fragrant but don't let it burn.
- On medium heat, add the spice powder and stir to toast, about a minute.
- Add the carrots and stir for a minute.
- Add the tomatoes and stir. Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes are broken down and the juices have evaporated.
- Add the peas, corn kernels and the textured vegetable protein. Add the salt.
- Cook for about 15 more minutes, until all the flavors have blended.
- Add the coconut milk, mix in, and turn off the heat. Add the mint and mix.
- Serve hot with chapatis or rice.

Northwestern University researchers said they have created compounds that could slow the effects of Parkinson's disease, a brain disorder that affects nearly 1 million people in the U.S.
The compounds prevent calcium from flooding parts of the brain known as dopamine neurons, which control movement, without causing significant side effects, the researchers said. Calcium can kill dopamine neurons, which causes the movement disorders that are the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
The research was published in October in the journal Nature Communications.
The compounds still need to undergo a clinical trial in humans and additional safety testing in animals before they are used by public. But they are very promising, said Dr. James Surmeier, chair of physiology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He helped to develop the compounds
"Everything looks beautiful right now. We're very excited, very encouraged about the results right now," Surmeier said. "It's incredibly important, but it's still a little early to tell."
Richard B. Silverman, a chemistry professor at Northwestern and inventor of the molecule that became the well-known drug Lyrica, which is used to treat seizures, also helped develop the new compounds.
Parkinson's disease is chronic and progressive, affecting core motor symptoms, and commonly causing tremor and difficulty initiating movement, Surmeier said. Other signs of the illness include slowed movement or a tendency for patients to shuffle their feet.
"There's an enormous need for a drug to slow or stop the progression of the disease," Surmeier said. "We only have Band-Aids. There's no effective means of treating the disease."
Before they die, these dopamine neurons let calcium inside of them, which stresses the neurons and may cause them to die.
"The calcium causes something to overheat and wear out. (Cells) begin to lose energy and die, and become very sensitive to toxins. We thought that, if we could stop the calcium from working, then we might be able to spare cells from dying," Surmeier said.
An earlier, national clinical trial on Parkinson's disease tested the impact of isradipine, a drug usually prescribed for high blood pressure. But isradipine had side effects, including discomfort from ankle swelling.
"We got to this point where we had an idea of how the disease evolves. We had a target, but we couldn't get enough (medicine) into humans without side effects," Surmeier said. "We needed a very specific drug, without cardiovascular side effects."
Surmeier said he and his fellow researchers "found a class of drugs that looked like therapeutics and did what we hoped," namely to selectively target a specific calcium channel, shut it down and prevent calcium from flooding the dopamine neurons.
"We had a discovery, but there was still a lot of work to be done. We have to optimize the design," Surmeier said.
He and his colleagues plan to focus on making sure that the compounds aren't toxic to animals and that they can be delivered in pill form.
Dr. David Standaert, a neurology professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said the study is well done.
"It's a stepping-stone paper," Standaert said. "They have made an important step forward. The final goal is to carry it further."
"They have made a milestone, but it's not the end, by any means," Standaert added. "I think the idea is promising, and it is a novel approach. It's a first down, but not a touchdown."

Census Records for California
This entry was originally written by Dwight A. Radford, Thelma Berkey Walsmith, and Nell Sachse Woodard for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930
• Soundex'1880, 1900, 1910 (Miracode), 1920
Industry and Agriculture Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
Mortality Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
The California State Library is a repository for the microfilm of California original federal censuses. The California State Archives (see California Archives, Libraries, and Societies) holds the original state copies for the federal 1860 and 1880 population schedules. Both repositories and the California Genealogical Society have microfilm copies of the state's federal censuses.
Missing from the 1850 federal census are the population schedules for Contra Costa, San Francisco, and Santa Clara counties, making the 1852 state census (see below) even more useful.
Mission and State
Censuses were taken for the following missions: San Carlos (1796), San Luis Obispo (1797, 1798), San Antonio (1798), and Soledad (1798). They are all in original form at the California State Archives. They have been reprinted in Historical Society of Southern California Quarterly, volumes 41'43.
The California Constitution of 1849 provided for a census of the state population in the years 1852 and 1855 and each succeeding ten years thereafter. The census of 1852, similar to the 1850 federal census but using an additional column showing the prior residence of each person, was the only one actually taken. The original returns for 1852 are in the California State Archives with microfilm at the California State Library and the FHL. The constitution was altered in 1879 to provide for the use of the federal census in the matter of apportioning the state for legislative representation.
A few cities and towns have special censuses for California through the twentieth century. The California State Archives has a listing of its holdings in this category.

WestHost brauchte ein neues Button oder Icon Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 49 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We do web hosting - shared hosting, dedicated servers, cloud hosting, and domain registration.
We will be launching a new ad campaign with a Star Wars theme. In our banner ads and landing pages we want to include images of servers which are skinned as R2D2 and C3PO. That's where you come in. We need you to design 2 dedicated servers for us that look like R2D2 and C3PO. One key to this project/job is maintaining a delicate balance to make these look like dedicated servers, while retaining the look of R2D2 and C3PO. You can design the servers as 2, or 3 dimensional - whichever looks best to you.
Since C3PO has an actual face, it may be difficult to incorporate his face in the server without making it look too complicated, so if you don't include it, that's fine, but if you're able to make it work in the design that's even better.
Your designs may be simple or detailed. It really depends on the execution of your ideas that will make the difference in the end.
We've attached an example of how someone used the design of R2D2 to skin an XBOX. This is a great example of what we're aiming to mimic.
Lastly, please don't put the words "Star Wars", "C3PO", "R2D2" or anything else that might be trademarked.
Best of luck to all. And may the force be with you.
Our target audience is mostly technical people (IT reps) and some business owners in the US. We figure many of them are fans of Star Wars, so they may know the look and feel of these droids (R2D2 and C3PO) better than you do. :) You're welcome to prove us wrong by sending some killer designs.

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a specialized x-ray that examines blood flow in blood vessels when they are filled with a contrast material. Contrast material is a substance that makes the blood vessels show on an x-ray. Computed tomography (CT) uses a complex machine to take x-rays from many different views, producing detailed 2-dimensional images that can be combined by a computer to form 3-dimensional images.
CTA can be used to view blood vessels throughout the body. It is most commonly used to study the:
- Brain
- Heart
- Lungs
- Kidneys
- Legs or arms
Reasons for Test
This test is used to help identify diseased, narrowed, enlarged, and blocked blood vessels and locate where internal bleeding may be occurring. Some specific uses include:
- Detecting atherosclerosis , a narrowing of the arteries
- Detecting an aneurysm, a ballooning out of a section of a blood vessel
- Examining arteries in the lungs to check for blockage of a blood vessel
- Evaluating disease in kidney arteries
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Allergic reactions to contrast material
- Excess bleeding
- Kidney damage
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Prior to the surgery, the doctor will do a physical exam.
Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking. You may have to stop certain medications, food, or beverages before the test.
At the care center:
- You will remove your clothes and put on a gown or robe.
- You will remove all jewelry, hair clips, dentures, and other objects that could show on the x-rays and make the images hard to read.
Description of Test
An IV is placed in a vein, and you will lie down on a narrow table. Pillows and straps may be used to keep you in a certain position. The part of your body that will be studied is moved inside the opening of the CT machine, and a test image is taken. You will be given a small amount of contrast material through the IV to check how long it takes to get to the area to be studied. Next, the IV is connected to an automatic injector and contrast material is injected. Then, the scan begins.
You must stay still during the scan. You will be asked to hold your breath for 10-25 seconds to ensure that the images are not blurred by any movement. It only takes seconds to record all the images needed.
After Test
The images are checked. If needed, some are repeated.
During the hours after the procedure, drink extra fluids to help flush the contrast material from your body.
How Long Will It Take?
20-60 minutes
Will It Hurt?
Although the procedure is not painful, you may feel warm and flushed when contrast material is injected.
The findings will be reported to your doctor, usually within 24 hours. Your doctor will discuss the findings with you and any treatment needed.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
- Signs of allergic reaction, including flushing, hives , and itching
- Swollen or itchy eyes
- Difficulty breathing or a feeling of tightness in your throat
- Nausea or vomiting
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

I had Global Translator Wordpress plugin. It littered Google Search index with thousands of translated urls. Couple of months ago I removed the plugin and also the cached pages on the server.
But Google Index still has the translated web pages indexed and shows 404 errors in Web Master tools. I tried fixing the issue with
robots.txt by blocking all the translated pages from index, but it's taking a long time to get it fixed. Can someone suggest me the better way to get all those indexed pages out of Google Index?
