Contemporary / Modern Dual Mount Ceiling Fixture from the Babylon Collection
Nice finishing touch
I'll start with the only negative we found about this fixture. Our house is 40+ years old, and the mounting cross bar did not match with the size of ceiling box in our bathroom. It took my husband a while to modify it so it would fit. Other than that, I am very pleased with the fixture. I was looking for an attractive inexpensive fixture that would work in the powder room that I was updating. I had a very limited budget, and this elegant fixture, along with an "out of the box" granite top/sink combo, and some fresh paint and towels TOTALLY transformed our dated, tired bath. I'm considering putting another one in the adjacent hall!

Editor's Note: This story was originally printed in the January 2008 issue of Scientific American. We're reposting it because of new research out today by author Zhong Lin Wang.
The watchmaker in the 1920s who devised the self-winding wristwatch was on to a great idea: mechanically harvesting energy from the wearer's moving arm and putting it to work rewinding the watch spring.
Today we are beginning to create extremely small energy harvesters that can supply electrical power to the tiny world of nanoscale devices, where things are measured in billionths of a meter. We call these power plants nanogenerators. The ability to make power on a minuscule scale allows us to think of implantable biosensors that can continuously monitor a patient's blood glucose level, or autonomous strain sensors for structures such as bridges, or environmental sensors for detecting toxins—all running without the need for replacement batteries. Energy sources are desperately needed for nanorobotics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), homeland security and even portable personal electronics. It is hard to imagine all the uses such infinitesimal generators may eventually find.
Researchers are pursuing several different routes toward power generation on a miniature scale. Options include exploiting random vibrations or motions (such as those near a roadway), temperature gradients (for example, ground temperature is fairly constant several meters below the surface), biochemistry, and external energy sources such as ultrasonic waves or even audible noises.
A key advantage of nanodevices and nano-systems is that they usually operate at a very low power level, in the range of nanowatts to microwatts, bringing nanogenerators for powering them into the realm of the possible. Just think of the potential power sources a human body provides: mechanical energy, heat energy, vibration energy, chemical energy (in the form of glucose) and the hydraulic energy of the circulatory system. Converted into electricity, just a small fraction of this energy could be sufficient to power many types of small devices.
Power to the Tiny
Work on power generation for small devices has moved quickly since the late 1990s, when the proliferation of portable electronic gadgets attracted researchers to the problem of finding new ways to power them. Experimenters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, for example, devised an energy-scavenging shoe using the piezoelectric effect, whereby certain crystalline materials produce a voltage when mechanically stressed. But the difficulty of producing useful amounts of power soon drove scientists to explore generators that could meet the much smaller electrical power needs of MEMS. These silicon-based devices, whose dimensions are measured in microns (millionths of a meter) to millimeters (thousandths of a meter), have found many uses, including as accelerometers for automobile air-bag systems and as ink-jet printer nozzles. Biology and chemistry also offer opportunities for producing power.
In recent years, scientists have built small vibration- based generators using both piezoelectric and electromagnetic transducers. The electro-magnetic microgenerator utilizes a moving magnet or coil for inducing an alternating electric current in a circuit. Although some microgenerators have been fabricated at the scale of MEMS, the technology tends to require structures ranging from one to 75 cubic centimeters, which work in vibration ranges from 50 hertz (cycles per second) to five kilohertz. A typical piezoelectric vibration-based generator uses a two-layered beam of lead zirconium titanate, with a mass located at its unsupported end, somewhat like a swimmer poised at the end of a diving board. When gravity causes the beam to bend downward, the upper piezoelectric layer is under tensile strain and the lower layer is under compressive strain. The result is a positive and negative voltage across the beam. As the mass oscillates back and forth, an alternating voltage is created. But because this energy generator is relatively large, gravity is important in driving its oscillating mass.

Swiftwick Zero Performance Olefin Socks - White Composed of 80% nylon, 15% olefin, and 5% lycra, this compression no-show sock sits just below the ankle. The Swiftwick PERFORMANCE line of compression socks are made in America and designed to be the best socks you will ever wear - Guaranteed. To deliver top Performance Swiftwick use Olefin fibers to produce a fast drying, lightweight sock with superb abrasion resistance and long-lasting durability. As a fiber, Olefin retains less than .01% of its weight in moisture and resists deterioration from chemicals and perspiration. The combination of nylon and spandex with the Olefin antimicrobial fiber helps create a softer, more comfortable sock with incredible breathability for everyday wear. Olefin, the only Nobel Prize-winning fiber, has a great story. Its production leaves very little waste; therefore, it has less environmental impact than most polymers and is easier to recycle. Olefin also has the lightest specific gravity of any other fabric. This is why Swiftwick socks will float in water. |

12oz bottle purchased from the cellar of a local store yesterday, nice surprise to come across this. Dated 3/15/07 (6.5 years old), poured into Treehouse snifter.
A- Cap pops off with a nice hiss, pours a dark brown with just a slight purplish hue to it, faint off-white head that fizzles almost instantly to a perfectly flat top with just a faint ring along the edges, some carbonation but fairly minimal.
S- Strong aromas of dark fruits including figs, prunes, raisins, grapes, rounded out with a nice hint of oxidation that plays nicely with the dark fruits. Almost no booze presence and aged like a fine port, never had this fresh but I'm sure the nose has improved significantly. Being a big fan of aged beers I love dark fruit aromas and hints of oxidation and I'm really digging this.
T- Dark fruits of raisins, plums, prunes, figs, grapes, and cherries balanced with caramel, smooth port, and a pinch of brown sugar. Still slightly on the boozy side, but not bad at all for 18%. Overall complex, flavorful, aged nicely without much oxidation present at all.
M- A little bit of heat, but very smooth for the abv, very little carbonation but doesn't detract anything from the beer.
O- This was a nice treat to find at a local liquor store, and despite the fairly steep price tag of $17/bottle this was definitely worth the try. It was aged nicely (although can't compare it fresh) and was significantly better then Raison D'etre which I'm not a huge fan of. I'm not overly a huge fan of Dogfish Head overall but their high abv beers are awesome for aging and this beer definitely can hold up for a long time. I'm sure it would still be good with 10-15 years on it.

Can't tell the exact bottle date, as part of the date is smudged. Looking at other reviewers, this one was last brewed in 2007, making this one at least 6 years old! A first grader!
Pours a deep, dense, and murky opaque ruby-brown. Very little carbonation, and no lace at all.
Nose is raisins, prunes, and dried fruit. Already a rich experience.
Taste is big!!! Plenty of fruit -- sour grapes, raisins, leather, tobacco... If I didn't mention again, it's BIG on flavor, but most definitely a sipper. About as heavy a beer experience as I've ever had. Alcohol is definitely detectable, but much less than expected.
Enjoyable, but not for the faint of taste buds.

Bottled 09/29/06. Thanks Steve.
A: No head, at all. Murky as could be. Dirty brown body with a bright ruby red/mahogany hue.
S: Tootise roll candy. Soft chocolate, chewey caramel, light toffee. Booze, metallic notes in undertone, really have to look.
T/M: Sherry-like, mouth puckering astringent bite. Really hard going down. Malts flavors are intensely unique and quite enjoyable.
O: May have aged just a bit too long. Booze is too hot to enjoy the evolved malt profile. Impressed for taking the shot. Would def try again and hope for different results.

2007 Vintage acquired in a trade. Surprised to hear a nice carbonated sound when cracking it open. As I was pouring it then aroma was quite prevalent.
Poured into a snifter a dark brown color with a couple cm white head which dissipated quickly.
Aroma is fantastic - brown sugar, figs, dates, oak
Mouthfeel - fairly heavy and still a bit of carb, not as oxided as I would have expected.
Taste is just outstanding - similar to aroma- sweet, brown sugar, raisins, old port, definitely boozy
Finish is strong and hot. Enjoying this very much!

A: Pours a hazy dark reddish brown in color with minimal amounts of visible carbonation and some garnet red highlights. The beer has a minimal amount of light beige head that quickly reduces to a very thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of dark fruits (raisins, prunes, and plums) and candi sugar.
T: Overall this beer is pretty sweet, with moderate to strong flavors of dark fruit malt sweetness with raisin, prune, and plum all making a strong presence. There is a strong presence of candi sugar as well which contributes to the overall sweetness.
M: Full bodied with light amounts of carbonation. Syrupy with light amounts of alcohol warming.
O: It is a shame that DFH stopped making this beer and continues to make the Raison D'Etre (the watered down version of this beer) - I would love to see DFH pull this one out once every 3-5 years as it is so much better. Nice amounts of complexity but it is not the easiest beer to drink as the alcohol is not as well hidden as would appeal to the masses.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter.
18% ABV, Bottled on (hard to make out- '06 some time)
[Reviewed on 06-08-11 - from notes]
A - Brilliant clarity and color, Raison D'Extra has a sexy Merlot-hued dark mahogany color. Almost no head forms and the loose, effervescent tan bubbles that do are driven off by alcohol almost immediately. Legs-city!
S - Heavy boozy, solvent alcohol does a good job of burning the nostrils right off the bat. Belgian yeast undertones flourish timidly white fruity raisin and prune billow fourth. Subtle nuances are largely overrun by burning alcohol heat.
T - Surprisingly, shocking even, Raison D'Extra is much more mellow in flavor than aroma. Sweet raisin and bold caramel malt step it up and keep the hops and alcohol flavors at bay. Subtle Belgian nuances play with earth hints and light clay in the background.
M - Smooth and soft, almost all traces of carbonation have been fended off by the incredibly warm alcohol. Warm and solventy in feel but not burning at all, it's warm in the stomach and retronasally.
O - Holy crap is this a huge brew. Thankfully the extremely boozy aroma didn't make it through the to the flavor allowing tons of nuances hidden behind layers of malt to arise. This is quite and enjoyable beer but it'll take a while to finish.

12 ounce bottle which reads "Bottled on 9/29/06". Purchased circa late 2011, consumed and reviewed on 12/29/12. Six years and three months old.
Poured into a small Samiclaus glass tulip of sorts.
A- Dark amber brownish in color. Thin almost non existent head.
S- Raisins soaked in alcohol, maple syrup and molasses.
T- Wow this stuff is sweet. Candied sugar, raisins, molasses, maple sugar and a little alcohol. Slight bitter after taste.
M- Super thin with virtually no carbonation. Numbs the lips a little, lingering bitterness throughout. Touch of booze burn lingers a bit as well.
O- Wasn't great, probably aged a bit too long. Very easy to drink though, be careful.

To the amazement of the tasting group we actually opened this five years to the day after it was bottled, but didn't even realize it until the tasting was over and we checked out the bottle date. Talk about coincidence.
A: Pours a deep mahogany red color, really beautiful; no head, no lacing
S: Deep, sweet malts, booze-soaked raisins, lots of dark fruits
T: Booze-soaked raisins, toffee, caramel, sweet bready malts, oaky/woodiness, finishes with a slight boozy warmth
M: Medium viscosity, oily texture, no carbonation, only slightly boozy
O: This beer far exceeded my expectations. The booze is amazingly well hidden and the flavor profile is fantastic. Five years has allowed this beer to mellow out and the flavors to really come through and shine. Will DEFINITELY seek out more of these.

A: The color of a barleywine (actually maybe a little darker--like coffee strained with too few beans so a tan color shows around the sides) with almost the tepidity of a bourbon. Poured with a light ring of khaki head that went away quickly. Now there is literally no head even with an aggressive swirl of the glass (tulip). A few bubbles rising.
S: Licorice and bigtime raisin up front. Barley, malts, and vanilla in there. Mostly raisin.
T: Mouth full of raisin and booze. It almost tastes like a raisin wine aged in a bourbon barrel. Interesting. Doesn't taste like a beer, but it's good. Unique. Off-centered as the DFH people say :)
M: Full, few bubbles, actually less boozey than it should feel for 18%. Watch out for this one!

This beer has been aged for several years - I poured it into a DFH bulb glass. Beautiful color - a deep velvet brown with slight amber hues. Decent head at pour that dissipated very quickly to almost non-existent. The aroma is heavy raison and alcohol - smells like a fine port wine. Taste is luscious - again heavy raison, prune, brown sugar sweetness, and alcohol heat on the back end. Despite the lack of head/lacing left, there is still a fizzy carbonation tingle in the mouth. A perfect brew for a fall day.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 9/29/2006(almost 6 years old). Pours extremely hazy dark reddish brown color with a small foamy khaki head with poor retention, that reduces to a small patch of foam. Minimal wisps of lacing on the glass. Aromas of huge raisin, caramel, molasses, toffee, prune, tobacco, earth, toast, roast, and yeast spices. Fantastic aromas with awesome complexity and balance. No booze to speak of as well. Taste of big raisin, prune, molasses, caramel, toffee, toast, tobacco, roast, earth, and yeast spices. Lingering notes of dark fruit, molasses, toffee, caramel, tobacco, toast, roast, and earth on the finish for a good bit. Great flavor complexity and balance; with zero cloying sweetness on the finish. Also slightly dry surprisingly. Light carbonation and full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and thick mouthfeel that is very nice. Alcohol is insanely well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic Belgian strong ale! Huge complexity and balance of flavors; and surprisingly smooth to sip on slowly for an 18% beer. Highly enjoyable stuff.

Pours a cloudy dark amber that looks to be flat. No head to speak of. Nose of brown sugar, raisins, plums, red grapes, and cherries. Some caramel malt in there and definitely a fair amount of alcohol. Hints of spice and just a really nice caramelization to it. The taste is certainly a bit cloying. Intense sugar and caramel flavors, overripe dark fruits, tons of raisin, grape, and plum. Moderate alcohol flavor and head. I loved the aroma of this, but it's just too much to drink.

Poured into a DFH Signature glass on 7/4/12
Bottled on 03/15/07
Pours a medium-light mahogany and settles with a crimson sheen with a rusty twinge. There is a flash of bubbles while the beer is poured that simply doesn't last. Very thin collar retention disappears, too. No lace.
Toasted sugars weigh heavily the aroma - brown sugar and molasses, raisins, sweet baked bread. Overtones of fig and plum intersect with a noticeable booziness. For an overly sweet aroma, this doesn't smell too bad.
Whew, this is a strong critter. I'd go as far as to call it daunting. Sugars and alcohol mix with a light toastiness and some oxidation tones (which don't seem entirely out of place). Some bread tones drift about, offering a dry notion at times, but this is predominantly sugar, raisin and booze.
The feel isn't the most robust or full, but it sure is heavy and quite slick with all the alcohol. Carbonation is on the lower side, but it does give the beer some movement.
As the beer warms, it starts to show some signs of it's age - slightly thin edges in terms of feel and some more appreciable oxidation.
As far as over the top, sugary DFH beers go, this makes for a fairly decent sipper.

12oz bottle shared this weekend between my brother and I and a complete stranger.
A- Crystal clear dark amber pour, hints of brown and red. Zero head, zero lacing. Looks bourbon like.

Big beer #2 to celebrate the completion of my first year of teaching! Thanks Heatwave33, even my iTunes has cranked the apropriate tunes! I cant read the bottle date, well at least the year has faded.
Super muddy body. Initial head was around a half inch from an aggressive pour into a snifter. Right now a murky brown body with a tiny ring of head clinging to the glass just ominously sits theres, waiting for me to indulge.
It smells like a double Raison d'Etre, honestly, except the yeast comes out to play this time. Theres loads of raisins and dried fruit prominently displayed, but theres a bit of Belgian yeast that wants to come out.
The raisins definitely want to dominat (and their sweetness and body do), but the taste is surprisingly balanced. I get a strong sense of raisins, but also the chewy malt balances things out. its got the super high alcohol flavors from WWS and 120 Min, but I like how the raisins work with it.
Theres definitely a lot going on, but it works. The aftertaste feels boozy and warm. I like this the most out of the big beer series from DFH. too bad its retired....

Bottled on: 03/15/07.
Appearance: Pours out a modestly hazed, deep amber-hued body with a very, very thin, near white head.
Smell: This one smells of liberally spiced, fruity-scented raisin puree, bready malts, dark brown sugar, and some nostril-stinging, eye-watering alcohol.
Taste: Distinctly sweet, sugary upfront with an expected follow-through of the fruity raisiny taste, brown sugar, and bready malts yielding some toastiness. But, very soon, that altogether piercing alcohol creeps in, searing the tongue and throat and warming your innards on the way down. Trivial oxidative notes in the background. Sweet breadiness, raisins, and straight-up moonshine on the flat, hot finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Lightly carbonated.
Overall: There's not much going on beyond sugar, raisins, and plenty of alcohol heat. I'm totally fine with this one being put out to pasture.

Got this little blessing as an extra in a trade. Thanks to cartoonshop!!
Poured a beautiful, rich burnt molasses color, but what hint at a head started quickly dissipated.
Aroma: Wow, molasses, raisin a hint of...maybe caramel. Nice!
At this point the wife sniffed, and sampled, while I got on BA to check the ABV--wasn't on the bottle. How can that be? Anyway, she told me that it wasn't harsh, but she thought it might be on the higher side. Then I found out it comes in at 18%.
Taste: Wow! Smooth, raisin comes through after the initial molasses front. A bit of prune. Finishes smooth, sweet and no burn. However, every once in a while you get a hint of warming, but just a reminder to respect this concoction.
Quite nice. What a great surprise as an extra. Thanks Andrew.

A - Pours a very cloudy brown-orange color with a thin layer of frothy off-white head. The head fades down very quickly leaving behind very little lace.
S - Aroma is full of lots of sweet raisin and dark fruit, with some strong cinnamon and Belgian yeast spices, residual sugar, caramel, a bit of vanilla, and a decent amount of booze.
T - Starts off with lots of sweet rich raisins and other dark fruits with some cinnamon and other Belgian yeast spices and some caramel. Through the middle, more brown sugar sweetness comes through with some vanilla and some booze. The finish is a mix of full of sweet raisin, some Belgian yeast spices, vanilla, and a good amount of booze.
M - Full bodied with mild carbonation. Feels smooth and thick with a warming and sweet finish.
D - Pretty drinkable. Really big beer with lots of sweet flavors and some strong booze. Given its strength, it is still well balanced and fairly drinkable.

pours very dark mahogany / chestnut with no head. good amount of sediment.
aroma is sweet, boozy, and malty with a strong raisin presence.
taste is surprisingly sweet: malty; raisins; molasses. the booze follows, but not as strongly as you'd think considering the ABV. still, this one is a heavy hitter.
thick, syrupy mouthfeel.
the definition of a sipper. not one i'd want on a regular basis but would have again. raisin d'etre on steroids, i prefer the regular version.

Found this bottle hanging out in a shop in Indianapolis. Bottled in 2007.
A: It looks like dirty toilet water. Muddy brown, and not in a good way. Minimal head. Faint lacing. Thick chunks of sediment floating all over this one.
S: Heck of a turnaround. This has quite a pleasing nose, almost like a barleywine. Lots of raisin, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and dark fruit. A little bit of ripe cherry and brown sugar.
T: Drinks like a carefully aged American Barleywine. Obviously a raisin bomb, but also lots of ripe fruit, brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, burnt toffee, and booze. Good amount of heat on this, seriously burns the tongue. Quite good.
M: Alcohol heat is just a little too aggressive. Full bodied and moderate carbonation. Flavors are well balanced and interesting.
O: Surprisingly good after the hugely disappointing appearance. I'm shocked at how well this has held up and how hot it still is. Definitely a raisin bomb, but it's balanced with lots of other interesting flavors. In the end, I didn't want more than 5 or 6 ozs. of this, but I still appreciate it as a solid brew.

12 oz bottle courtesy of brees6221 in the 'hotter than hot' BIF. 2007 vintage pours a limpid copper color with minimal head and lacing. Am I too drunk to take care of this beast? Maybe.
Nose is innocent enough...very sweet...toffee of course, raisins too. Fruity and alcoholic, but not as much as one would think. I like it...in a sick twisted way.
Taste is raisins soaked in grain alcohol with a few touches of burnt bread and peanut brittle held up to an open flame. Mmmm, I like it. I really, really wish I had more of this. For me, DFH is 2 for 3 on the huge beers...loved WWS and this, but did not like 120 min at all. Too bad none of these have been seen in Tx for quite some time. Brew some more of this, dammit!

8/30/2005 vintage. This was the first "extreme" beer I tried about two years ago and I loved it. Finally getting around to reviewing one of the last few bottles I own. Poured into a brandy snifter at cellar temperature.
A - A semi-aggressive pour yielded some small edging of off-white bubbles. The body is a clear light red/burnt orange color. The snifter I'm using has a laser etched base and oddly enough bubbles are rising from the bottom. Swirling produces some very small bubbles and a whole lot of alcohol legs. Sits in the glass like a hard liquor. A bit of sediment towards the end of the bottle.
S - The nose starts off with some very sweet candied plums and leads into burnt malt and a touch of brown sugar. The aroma is very sweet and pungent, almost brandy like making the raisins come off as a sweeter fruit. The alcohol hits hard and burns the nose. It smells like this is a concentrated plum syrup.
T - Its a simple flavor profile. This is the fourth bottle of d'extra I've tried so maybe I'm just desensitized or something. Saying that an 18% abv raisin beer is "simple" seems a bit ridiculous. But its really just not that complex or intricate. Candied plum sweetness, a bit of earthier raisin flavor and toffee malt, and a touch of oxidation to round things out. That is about it. The alcohol doesn't even make an appearance until late in the game by warming up the throat slightly. The sweetness is really what prevents this from being drinkable, not the absurd abv. I've had beers with a third of the alcohol come off harsher.
M - Its has a pretty thin body with minimal carbonation. Pretty sticky and slick though. I wouldn't have it any other way. Its perfect for a beer of this nature.
O - I'm rating this beer so high for a few reasons. For one, its held up perfectly after nearly 7 years. There is the slightest touch of oxidation, but it compliments the flavor profile much like an aged barley wine. The second reason, is because its just a damn delicious beer. Its like drinking a sweet plum brandy with some malty undertones. Just wonderful stuff. I really hope that DFH brews this again as I would love to try one of these fresh.

I saw that in mixed order, one third of a battalion must be fed forward as skirmisher. What is the background of the one third. Britsh battallions only had 1/10th, French 1/6th as lightskirmishers. I know that maybe more men could be fed in but 1/3rd?
When also having light battalions, rifles etc the british could have almost 50% in their skirmish line; imho much too much.
Also, when considering Austrian/Russian troops is this a little bit high.
How do other interpret or handle this?

"Very easy to make, and tastes great too." — Linda C
Watch video tips and tricks
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (28 ounce) jar prepared mincemeat pie filling
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups candied mixed fruit
My husband LOVES this recipe! I'd prefer more candied fruit and less batter, but this one's a keeper. Brought it into work and everyone who likes fruitcake asked for the recipe. I've been looking for one that doesn't have to sit for weeks in cheesecloth, and this is it. Thanks!
If you prefer a fruitcake that is more cake and less fruit, this is the perfect cake. It's moist and can be made ahead if desired. I use 5 mini breadpans for mine and it bakes in about 45 minutes. If you lay a piece of parchment in the bottom of the pan and spray with non-stick spray, cleaning up the pan is a breeze. Addendum to my review (12/28/07) The last few years, instead of using the candied fruits, I have used mixed dried fruits - apricots, dried cranberries, pineapple, apple, etc. and some candied cherries for color. It isn't a lot less calories, but it is at least a little healthier and we like it a lot that way. Just use scissors to snip the fruit into small pieces; dip the scissors in flour in periodically to keep the fruit from sticking.

Made this recipe exactly as written. Used a bundt pan and baked for two hours. It is delicious! My husband, a fruitcake connoisseur, absolutely loves it. It is so easy to make, I'll make it throughout the year, not just during the holidays. Thanks for a great recipe!
This is the easiest recipe for fruitcake around. Everyone thinks you went to so much trouble and yet it is so easy. I usually use a 9" tube pan and bake for 3 hours and it always turns out great!! I highly recommend this recipe. No Fail.
My mom asked that I bake her a fruitcake for Christmas without nuts since she is allergic. I added a cup of whole candied cherries in place of the nuts and it turned out GREAT! This has to be the easiest fruitcake recipe on the planet and it tastes terrific, too. My mom is 85 and is a wonderful cook, so I was so happy that she asked to take the whole cake home with her! Highly recommend this one!!
My family doesn't like candided fruit. I soaked 2 cups of dried fruit, cut into bite sized peices, overnight in about 1 cup of rum. I follwed the rest of the recipe exactly. It was absolutely wonderful. Usually I have to take most of my dessert home with me, but not this year!
This is the fruitcake I have been making for 30+ years. Goes together quickly, and even people who don't like fruitcake usually like this one. The only bad part is when people ask you for the recipe and find you didn't work as hard making it as they thought you did.
Very easy to make. We used candied cherries and chopped them in the food processor first (next time, we'll leave them whole). We also used almonds since our son is allergic to walnuts. The mincemeat we added had run and brandy already in it - delicious! We baked it for 2 hours in a Bundt pan, and it came out very well. My husband added an icing sugar glaze for the top, but this wasn't what it needed. Next time, we'll probably leave it plain, or dust with icing sugar.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ A record-setting late-winter storm has begun moving out of the Dakotas.
The storm that hit late Sunday and Monday brought freezing rain to parts of the two states and heavy snow to areas of North Dakota. As much as a foot was reported in several cities in the north.
The National Weather Service says Grand Forks on Monday received a record amount of snow for the date, with 7 inches. Minot not only got a foot of snow but also set a rainfall record for the date, along with Williston. Williston also got half a foot of snow.
No-travel advisories are still in place in some areas in the two states, but the forecast calls for conditions to improve as the day goes on.

Close to the dome and entertainment
Small rooms, way to noisy
We had a place to sleep.
Valet parking is a joke. You have to leave your car in the road, go check in to give them your keys, and then they valet your car. Anyone that has been to NOLA knows that parking is an issue so I always make sure valet is available. The room was the smallest room I have ever stayed in and you could barely turn around in the bathroom. Not built to stay in the room for long. Not enough outlets for hair dryer, curler, etc. and certainly not enough room for 2 people to get ready at the same time. The coffee shop in the lobby was open but couldn't make any espresso....so no fraps, caps, lattes.....what the heck! The machine was there but the girl didn't know how to use the machine. She works in a coffee shop, hmmm. Will never stay again unless I just have to have a room in NOLA and the only available.
We enjoyed the location because it was walking distance to everything, it was a perfect location.
The only thing I didnt like is that our room was never cleaned while we stayed there.
Within (easy) walking distance to Bourban Street, Harrah's and the French Quarter.
Some people were a little loud coming in in the wee hours of the morning, but it is New Orleans, so you just have to be patient.
Fantastic beds
No cook at the 24 hour diner at breakfast, would not serve us til after nine am
Everything was great from the room lobby and bathroom. Love being so close to the Stadium.
Paying for parking, but still had a great time.
Not far from the French quarter,and transport.
Pillows were to hard,no Windows to outside,went out a few times with shorts and tee shirt and got to the front doors to find it raining.
Nice and clean, close to attractions, very helpful staff.
Cafe and diner staff attached to hotel unfriendly
Location mainly being only a short walk to the French quarter and the transport of Canal street
Internal room with no out side window............had no idea if it was night or day
the location and restaurant in the hotel. the entrance to the hotel is very nice. ladies at the desk were very helpful and very nice
the room was not designed well. door in bathroom sink area was broken. Not much area in bathroom to get ready. no dresser to put things - only 2 drawers, shower was messed up and loose. towels were not very soft for the price. a microwave would have been nice
Beds are very comfortable. Employees are very helpful, friendly and quick. Well designed.
Carpets smell a bit bad.
5 star no complaints
The staff was very nice!!
Could use an update but then the price would go up so better left alone!!
Good location Great staff Good value
Long check in
Great staff, nice room, quiet, centrally located.
The location was close to downtown business district and Bourbon street. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Good value for a downtown hotel.
They did not have a breakfast in the hotel. You had to eat at the diner located at the front of the hotel. All you could smell deep fried grease.
Very clean & helpful staff
I liked the location, staff and ability to park onsite
The King Room was rather small and ordinary in furnishings.
Quiet rooms for being in a downtown area
The service in restaurant was slow, waited 15 minutes to get no service and they were not busy.
Great location. The staff is very friendly.
We reserved a suite. I smelled musty. We couldn't sleep in there. They changed us to another suite, but it smelled as musty. Finally, we took a regular room and add a cot.
All was good
The location was great! It was walking distance to the French quarter.
The staff was extremely unfriendly when I called and when we arrived. Also, there were cockroaches everywhere and I got 2 bites the size of an orange! They need to clean out the place.
Everything was great except that there was no room service. Had to go to the cafe in the lobby to order food. No delivery and no call in orders.
I like that the bedroom/bathroom was clean.
The parking garage was a little scary.
1) Close to Harrah's casino where I can pass my time waiting to get on the road early the next morning . 2) There's a restaurant attached to the hotel opening 24/7 , which is really convenient . 3) I feel safe to stay there . 4) The lady on front desk is really nice , friendly and helpful.
1)The coffee machine in the room needs to be replaced with a better one . 2)The parking garage needs to be renovated ,and parking fee ($20/day) is outrageous . It would feel much more comfortable if they do away with the parking fee and , instead , add $10.00 to the room charge ( $80.00 instead of $70.00 and free parking ) 3)I don't see many people stay at this hotel. That could be the reason . I wonder how long they ( people who own the hotel ) could stay in business . 4)Rooms are outdated .

And that's the main issue. Devs don't NEED options. That's the whole point of the console space, a closed platform. It's an act of desperation, really. CPU-based physics is like 1962 technology. Really. It's now 2013, 50 years later. That's why I quoted Jen Hsun's questions for entrepreneurs.. it's NOT the right way to do it, and Phys-X running NOW on GPUs proves it. Nvidia must have hired some of AMD's old marketing team.
software development kits (SDKs) AMD are working closely with Havok, so this is being put out just in case some developer bites. We will see 1 or 2 titles a year in best case scenario. roflmao
Of course they do, games use stacks of licensed technology regardless of the platform they are on. Lot's don't even use their own engine for example, why should they spend time and resources developing their own physics too when there are solutions already in place? And if physics was all about the GPU these days then that actually puts PhysX in a strong position, Havok is all about the CPU and yet it just.... won't.... die. PhysX is just another option, I get the NV- only GPU hate, but that doesn't make PhysX a less viable option than the others.
You can blame me. I went NVIDIA and ever since they have been having issues. I have the opposite of the Midas touch when it comes to GPU makers.
Not so much die, just be an OpenCL. It's like Borderland that has PhysX not being able to be turned off. They made it to run on low, so it chew's CPU resources when not using a Nvidia cards. :shadedshu
Nothing here counteracts my points posted above. PS4 is already using Havoc for GPU-based physics rendering, BTW, that was in the demo. And I don't hate Nv at all...just this release. I've posted countless times that I'd like to see them leverage their strength on software on other hardware. But not in this fashion, as otherwise, it's not going to offer anything more than what current consoles and PCs have. It's not like these consoles are some big power-house PCs...they are just beyond mid-level tech of TODAY. So what we see on high-end PCs, performance-wise, shows CPU-based Phys-X leaves a lot to be desired.
And nothing here contradicts my points either. Havok is just another option available, it doesn't mean every game will use it. And equally it's not like there are any stand out Havok based titles on the PC today. I guess that depends on whether those big meanies over at Intel want to plug their technology more of AMD and nVidia based hardware.
Let see the only games that will use physx on the next gen is Batman A:?, Boarderlands 3, and Mafia 3? Did I miss anything?
I disagree with your overall sentiment. But that's fine. Intel is pushing software on competitor's GPU hardware, with Havok. That's what I expect of NVidia, and that's all.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... http://www.havok.com/customer-projects/games/other-titles?items_per_page=All&=Apply
That's fine, but they have literally only posted a single video, if only Nvidia could enjoy as much benefit of the doubt. It will be interesting if Havok based GPU acceleration eventually comes to the PC and how it effects things.
Not sure what point your making beyond what Xzibit posted? It's widely used across multiple platforms, so is PhysX.
And you notice all those games have in common. All PC. If you've been pushing PhysX for 5 years and only can get it to less then 100 games. When your comparing it to Havok which is in over 500 titles over several platforms. Too much green tea in your diet
All PC? Did you even look at the list? I count 216 Havok titles on their official site, I'm interested in the seeing the link showing 500+ if you can post it? I missed nothing, it's pretty much a given it will run on the CPU, whether devs use it it not is their choice. I brought up Havok because it's pretty much the only viable reference, sorry about that.
I did try and I could only count 100 or so And thats because Nvidia is still including Ageia titles that were in development prior to 2008 when Nvidia bought them. Back then PhysX was only running on CPU and Ageia was making a push to offload the workload to a PPU. I'm going by whats on there site. Not going by a 3rd party website. E-mail them for the list and share it
Exactly, like they ever get a dev asking for more walls, less end users and less end user satisfaction. Im quite enraged by this bull pr as ive a hybrid physx setup just for batman obv and its a pain in the ass , they shouldn't oughta have done that. And reizor your deluded, only nvidia make progress stopping standards that only work on nv every one else actually tries to work together to make our(end users) life easier better and more fun. Sinister licence waveing BS......
*facepalm* That's an extremely outdated list. You can't even find Alice: Madness Returns, Borderlands 2, Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Mafia II, Mirror's Edge, Hawken, and all the PhysX game titles which released after 2010. And you still can find Heavy Rain as a PC title in that list

When employers pay attention to their employees' well-being, it increases productivity and helps employees perform their best, according to a new study by Horizons Workforce Consulting.
"It's clear that creating a culture that supports employee well-being can increase work force potential and drive organizations forward," says Bright Horizons CEO David Lissy. "But understanding what motivates employees and keeps them engaged can be a difficult task, particularly when you take into account the various disruptions competing for mindshare and preventing employees from contributing fully. To cultivate a performance-driven environment, employers need to look within their workforces and understand their needs."
The survey defines well-being as several factors that increase employees' satisfaction while considering health, wellness, finances, career gratification, home and family life, and daily routine. Eighty-nine percent of respondents with great levels of well-being say they have high job satisfaction, and nearly two-thirds of those respondents say they steadily put in extra effort at work.
Despite this, job satisfaction only accounts for 13 percent of the factors that contribute to employees' overall well-being, but happiness in one's personal life accounts for more than half.
"There will always be lines that should not be crossed when talking to employees about their personal lives," Lissy says. "But to draw those lines in too narrow a manner can prevent you from retaining and engaging the talent you need to succeed. Embracing this requires throwing out the old adage that when people arrive at work they leave their personal lives at the front door. Those days are over."

Heart Problems Questions
133 Question and Answer Results
What can we expect when moving an automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator from the abdomen?
Don't worry! The new defibrillators are very similar to pacemakers, so they are easier than ever to implant. The device is usually placed in the upper left chest, just under the skin and outside the ribcage. It is inserted through a small incision, typically about 4 centimeters across... -
What Are the New Cholesterol Tests?
In the past few years, new cholesterol tests have become available that are more sensitive and individualized. They go by a number of names; the most common is lipoprotein subfraction testing. Right now, doctors usually order these tests for people who have a strong family history of heart disease... -
How do I lower high triglycerides?
Yes, high triglyceride levels are dangerous, and you do need to lower them. But doctors often don't do a good job of explaining why or how. Triglycerides (TG) are fats, or lipids. They're sometimes called the "forgotten fat," because everyone talks about cholesterol but neglects the importance of triglycerides... -
FAQ: How Is Heart Failure Different From COPD?
Both heart failure (formerly known as congestive heart failure) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) can cause shortness of breath and chronic cough, so it can be hard to tell the difference based only on those symptoms. However, the fluid retention associated with heart failure causes additional... -
FAQ: What's the Difference Between Systolic and Preserved Systolic Heart Failure, and Why Is It Important?
Heart failure (formerly called congestive heart failure) can be classified in a number of ways, but one important distinction -- having to do with the difference between systolic and preserved systolic function -- refers to how the structure of the heart has been affected. -
What is a MUGA test?
A MUGA (MUltiple Gated Acquisition) scan is a nuclear medicine scan of the heart. It gives an assessment of the pumping function of the heart, as well as the flow of blood through the heart and the proximal aorta. A small amount of radioactive dye is used, and a special imager is used to visualize blood flow... -
Is a large bruise from a stent closure be cause for concern?
This is potentially very serious. It sounds like it could be a leakage from your femoral artery, and people can bleed to death from such leakages after this kind of procedure. It's a potentially life-threatening problem, and one that calls for an immediate visit to the nearest emergency room. -
Could my mother's CHF symptoms simply be sporadic or should we call the doctor?
In your letter, you sound concerned about the chest pains your mother had. I am sure you are thinking she is having a heart attack! However, if she is having short bursts of pain, it is more likely to be related to angina, which is a chronic condition. Angina is chest pain that will go away, and usually helped by nitroglycerin... -
What does having a "Low LD Serum" mean?
LD stands for Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase, which is an enzyme found in many tissues of the body (kidney, heart, muscle, brain, liver). Since it is widely distributed, this is a non-specific test used to determine if a heart attack may have happened. SInce your levels are low, this would mean that there is no heart damage... -
Can a lack of hair indicate heart disease?
Hi: -
What causes sweating during a heart attack?
Sweating during a heart attack is usually caused by overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is what causes your "fight or flight" response. When someone starts to experience pain such as pain with a heart attack hormones are released... -
What can be done for swollen legs due to CHF?
Leg swelling due to congestive heart failure is very common. The swelling is due to excess fluid that backs up because the heart muscle is weak and cannot pump well. Diuretics are the usual treatment because they help the body get rid of excess fluid. There are numerous diuretics that can be used... -
Can a traumatic event cause congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy?
Sorry to hear about your husband's accident. It is possible but unlikely that your husband's cardiomyopathy was caused by a car accident. Acute congestive heart failure can occur after chest trauma due to a "stunned" heart muscle but generally isn't a chronic condition. Perhaps he had other underlying unrecognized risk factors for heart disease... -
How can I keep boost the spirits of someone with CHF?
It is natural to be scared when diagnosed with a heart problem so the important thing is to be supportive and sometimes that can help boost the spirits of someone with CHF. You may want to check and see if there are any CHF support groups in your area - check your local hospitals... -
How soon can you work after a heart attack?
We are sorry to hear about your partner's heart attack. The time people are out of work following a heart attack can vary. Many times it depends upon the treatment that was done for the heart attack-for example, was an angioplasty done or stent placed, was there bypass surgery,etc... -
Can heart attack symptoms occur over the course of a few days?
Many people experience warning signs of a heart attack several days or even weeks before a heart attack. Shortness of breath, chest pain or chest discomfort, neck/shoulder or upper back pain/discomfort, nausea, overwhelming fatigue, numbness/tingling in hands can be some of the symptoms of a heart attack... -
Will a defibrillator protect my husband from a heart attack?
I am sorry to hear about your husband's recent heart attack. You definitely did a great job starting CPR! A defibrillator will shock the heart when it goes into abnormal rhythms like ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, which can be life-threatening heart rhythms. These rhythms can be caused by a heart attack... -
What alternative treatments are avaiable for blocked arteries?

The internet is now deeply embedded in group and organizational life in America. A new national survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project has found that 75% of all American adults are active in some kind of voluntary group or organization and internet users are more likely than others to be active: 80% of internet users participate in groups, compared with 56% of non-internet users. And social media users are even more likely to be active: 82% of social network users and 85% of Twitter users are group participants.
In this survey, Pew Internet asked about 27 different kinds of groups and found great diversity in group membership and participation using traditional and new technologies. It becomes clear as people are asked about their activities that their use of the internet is having a wide-ranging impact on their engagement with civic, social, and religious groups. Asked to assess the overall impact of the internet on group activities:
At a personal level, those who are active in groups say the internet has had varying influence over their connection to groups:
Many groups work hard to accomplish their goals but do not necessarily succeed in a modest amount of time. In the Pew Internet survey, respondents were asked about several kinds of outcomes and whether groups had achieved them in the previous 12 months. In some cases majorities or significant pluralities had accomplished their goals. For those that had achieved those outcomes, we then asked what role the internet played (if any) in achieving those goals. For those that did succeed, the internet's role ranged from significant to modest:
On other internet impacts:
Groups and their members are using all kinds of digital tools to bind themselves together and some of the most innovative involve social networking sites like Facebook (used by 62% of the internet users in our survey), Twitter (used by 12% of internet users), blogs, and texting (used by 74% of the cell phone owners in our survey) :
Group members themselves are often active in using social media to connect with the group and evangelize for the group with others: Some 65% of those who are social network site users say they read updates and messages on these sites about the groups in which they are active and 30% say they have posted news about their groups on their SNS page. The numbers are similar when it comes to Twitter users: 63% of the Twitter users who are active in groups say they read updates and posts on Twitter about their groups, and 21% say they post news on Twitter about their groups. Some 45% of the texters who are active in groups say they send and receive texts with other group members and leaders.
Social network and Twitter users are also more active in some parts of group activity: They post about group activities on their Facebook pages and Tweets; they are more likely than others to invite newbies into a group; more likely than others to be targeted for invitation to groups; more likely to use the internet to discover groups; more likely to say the internet enables them to participate in more groups and more likely to say they spend more time on group activities because of the internet. Social media users are significantly more likely than other group participants who go online for group activities, to say that the internet has a "major impact" on their ability to engage with their groups.
The survey asked group members whether they had done several core activities with their group in the past 30 days and internet users were significantly more likely to have done all of these activities.
Perhaps reflecting their higher levels of participation, internet users are also more likely than non-users to say that, in the past 12 months, they have felt really proud of a group they are active in because of something it accomplished or a positive difference it made (62% v. 47%) and that they have accomplished something as part of a group that they could not have accomplished themselves (48% v. 35%). Internet users and non-users are statistically equally likely to say that in the past 12 months they felt disappointed in a group they are active in because it failed to accomplish its goals or lacked purpose. Internet users are, however, slightly more likely to report leaving a group in the past 12 months.

The FCC will prepare to shut its doors Tuesday as Congress failed Monday to meet a midnight dealine for funding the government, which has resulted in a government shutdown.
The FCC posted to its website a Plan for Orderly Shutdown, which states that "all FCC activities other than those immediately necessary for the protection of life or property will cease."
The government-wide lapse in funding has suspended the commission's informal 180-day time clock for review of transactions. The individual time clock for each pending transaction will be stopped on the day of review that coincides with the last business day before the lapse in funding, which is September 30, 2013.
Suspended activities include, among many others: Consumer complaint and inquiry phone lines cannot be answered; consumer protection and local competition enforcement must cease; licensing services, including broadcast, wireless, and wireline, must cease; management of radio spectrum and the creation of new opportunities for competitive technologies and services for the American public must be suspended; and equipment authorizations, including those bringing new electronic devices to American consumers, cannot be provided.
All FCC employees will report to work Tuesday if necessary to conduct the orderly shutdown of operations. The FCC said it estimates that the time required for each employee to accomplish an orderly shutdown will be not more than four hours with very rare exceptions.
The shutdown comes as the Republican controlled House wrangles with the Democrat controlled Senate over implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which goes into effect today. Republicans tried to tie a proposal that would delay implementation of President Obama's healthcare law to the funding bill. Democrats refused to sign the short-term spending bill, arguing that the included stipulations as part of routine government funding extension amounted to the taking of hostages.

In the grand tradition of the awe-inspiring "blue marble" pictures, this newest shot from NASA's recently-renamed Suomi NPP satellite is the sharpest, highest resolution picture of its kind we've ever seen. It's a composite image, combining shots taken of the Earth's surface on January 4th. It's available in a crazybig 8,000 by 8,000 pixel resolution, ideal for murals or screen-printing a large area rug.
Check it out in all its glory at NASA Goddard's Flickr stream. [via Gizmodo]
Oddly from the picture, good old USA peaks at the top of the world and another oddity to the right of the world if you look closely is a little point. Why is there a point and why is the USA the top of the world. This picture has been taken or manipulated for our egotistic pleasure.
I do not like it being manipulated for our egotistic pleasure as if it needs some kind of enhancement from us.
The true and honest Earth is just beautiful without any particular enhancements, but just natural!
God bless mother earth!
For a god, you have a very limited viewpint - uh, viewpoint.
Could it be that a NASA satellite paid for with US Taxpayer money is showing the country that paid for it? Would that be so horrible?
