Dan Barber's Braised Short Ribs
Author Notes: One evening, not long after I was married, my husband Tad and I hosted a dinner party at our apartment. I pulled one of my usual tricks back then, which was to cook five entirely new dishes rather than hedge my bets with a few known winners. This approach to a dinner party has guaranteed results, but not of the sort you wish for. You end up flubbing at least 40% of the menu. You sit with a furrowed brow throughout the meal. You nearly end your marriage before the guests arrive. And if you do this repeatedly, you are sure to live a shorter life.
This time, on top of my novelty menu "strategy," I layered another fatal tactic: I invited a chef to the dinner. Dan Barber, an owner of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, wrote for me at the Times, and since I knew that chefs' biggest complaint was that no one ever cooked for them, I thought it would be a good idea to have him over for a dinner party.
The day of the party, I thought I'd "wing" making short ribs, which I'd never cooked before. For reasons I will never understand, I floured the short ribs before browning them, which later created a horridly gooey coating once they were braising. I also failed to add enough liquid to the braising pan and did not allow enough time for the meat to get tender.
By the time the guests arrived, I looked like a nervous and harried rabbit, dashing around my kitchen, awaiting the next disaster. Unsure if dinner would ever be ready, I pulled Dan aside and confessed.
Dan hopped into the kitchen, waved his skilled hand over the short ribs -- at least, that's how I remember it -- and managed to make them edible.
A few weeks later, I asked him if he'd teach me how to properly braise a short rib. I spent a morning with him in Blue Hill's kitchen on Washington Place.
Now I know how to braise. But I'm not sure Dan will ever come to one of my parties again. - Amanda Hesser
Serves 4 to 6
- 5 pounds beef short ribs, bone on
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (I like a coarse grind)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, skin left on
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate (comes in a jar; slightly thicker than ketchup) or paste (comes in a block)
- 2 fresh (or dry) bay leaves
- 1/2 cup Madeira
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 to 3 cups chicken broth
- Heat the oven to 225 degrees. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the oil, then the short ribs (add them in batches, if necessary) and brown on all sides. Transfer the ribs to a plate as they finish browning. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the vegetables are soft and all the browned bits in the base of the pot have been loosened. Put the short ribs (and any juices that have collected on the plate) back in the pot.
- Add the light brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind paste, and bay leaves. Pour in the Madeira and red wine. Add enough chicken broth to just cover the ribs. Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven.
- Braise the shortribs until they are very tender when pierced with a fork, about 4 hours (longer if the short ribs are big). Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shortribs to a plate. Let the cooking liquid settle; spoon off as much fat as possible (ideally, you'd do this over the course of two days and would, at this point, put the liquid in the fridge overnight and peel off the layer of fat in the morning). Set the pot on the stove over medium high heat. Bring the cooking liquid to a boil and reduce to a syrupy consistency.
- Lay a short rib or two in each of 4 wide shallow bowls. Spoon over a little sauce. Serve proudly.

When I make this the bones all fall out before serving. Am I using the wrong kind of ribs?

Want to make these this week so don't have time to order tamarind on line (we live in a remote area without close access to a store that would carry it). Can another spice be substituted or would leaving it out ruin it?

Folks, did you use short ribs that were English cut or flanken? When I make short ribs, I normally use flanken. However, this picture looks like the English cut was used.

Pretty sure they were English cut. I think of flanken as a lot thinner.

When I read this I laughed out loud because that is exactly what I have done a number of times and if my husband read this he would know exactly what you're talking about as well! He has to put up with my hysteria even though I only have myself to blame. Glad I'm not the only one, thank you.

I cooked these Friday night for dinner last night (Saturday). I made sure the short ribs were well trimmed, and when I finished cooking them, I separated the liquid from the meat and refrigerated overnight. I was able to easily skim off the fat before reheating. I also strained out the vegetables and onions before boiling down. My sauce never became syrupy but the flavors were fused and with mashed potatoes and a salad, it was a delicious meal. Thanks so much for sharing both your story and your recipe, Amanda.

made these for christmas - they were delicious! I bought my short ribs from Whole Foods. The only negative comment is that they were REALLY fatty. I don't know if it was just the particular ribs I got but I even braised them the day before and skinned the fat but there was still a lot of fat on the rib itself. Like enough where you can see and taste it. Trust me, I'm all for fatty goodness but it was a little too much. Maybe I should have braised longer, but after 4 hours they were already falling off the bone. Must have been a fatty cow.

Dan Barber is possibly my favorite all time chef and any recipe of his is guaranteed to rock. This was a perfect Super Bowl meal. I did it over two days and took my time reducing and defatting. Sublime. Thanks Amanda for the story and the recipe. Loved both.

Could you explain your process before serving the ribs after taking 2 days to reduce? What method/time did you use to re-warm the meat?? Sounds delish, and would love to try!! :-)

Amanda is a co-founder of Food52.
Sure -- just to be clear, you can make the ribs one day, then lift off the fat the next day before reheating. To reheat the dish, I let it come to room temperature and then warm it in a 200 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Hope you like it!

If Dan won't come, you would have a bevy of food52 bloggers knocking themselves out to sit at your table! You are so kind to invite a favorite chef or cook...nothing saddens me more than when someone says, "I couldn't invite you over for dinner, I'd be too intimidated!" great recipe--good tips on the proper braising method. Newer ovens and good cooking equipment can really alter a recipe !! (conversely, dorm kitchens/starter apartment kitchens also require a fearless plunge into an "I'll wing it" philosophy) Now tell us about one of your stellar successes!

The first thing I look at for any braised meat dish recipe is the oven temperature. I would say that 99% of the time, the oven temp called for in the recipe is 325+. In my Le Creueset pots, with lid on, 325+ produces a cauldron of bubbling lava that inevitably turns my food tough in no time flat. It was very refreshing to see this recipe call for a much calmer 225.

Made this with a few twists...yummy!
Lightly coated ribs in oil, seasoned with salt and sichuan pepper, and browned ribs in a 500 F oven on a wire rack for 25 minutes, turning. This is an easy way to be rid of some fat.
Swapped mollasses for brown sugar.
Used dry sherry for want of madeira.
Added a few coins of ginger, 3 star anise, and cinnamon sticks to the liquid.
Added 1/4 cup soy sauce to the liquid.
Over brown rice.

A power struggle between Henry's daughter, Maud, and nephew, Stephen, causes England to be torn by war as battles rage for the rightful heir. Meanwhile, Bishop Waleran Bigod and the Hamleigh family manipulate the conflict to satisfy their own ruthless ambitions. Within this tumultuous setting, Prior Philip fights insurmountable obstacles to keep Kingsbridge and his dream of building a magnificent cathedral alive. The task is daunting, but master-mason Tom Builder, his gifted stepson, Jack, and noblewoman Aliena work together to achieve their dreams. And in the process, the long-hidden secret is revealed. The Pillars of the Earth will be the epic event of the summer.

Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
About the "Sechach," the Covering
The "Sechach" must be made from some product of the earth, that is no longer attached to the earth. Therefore,
Wood of all kinds, including bamboo poles, leafy branches, branches of pine trees (very aromatic, but pine needles tend to wind up in one's soup), are all good.
However, the actual branches and leaves of a living tree, still attached to the ground, are not acceptable. It might be interesting as a "treehouse," but it doesn't make it as a Sukkah.
"Sechach" cannot be made from utensils; even wooden utensils, such as spoons and forks.
Metal and plastic and glass, in any form, utensil or not, are invalid as "sechach." Thus, strips of aluminum foil, thin stained glass rods, and plastic straws or mats, are all nono's.
Maximum and Minimum Heights
An "amah" is a length somewhere between eighteen inches and two feet. The maximum height of a Sukkah; that is, of its "Sechach" above the floor, is twenty "amot;" that is, a height somewhere between thirty and forty feet. (Mishnah 1 in Chapter 1 of Masechet Sukkah)
The minimum height of a Sukkah is ten "tefachim," where the "tefach," derived from a measure of the fist, is between 8 and 9.6 centimeters, or about 3.2 - 3.8 inches. The height is therefore between 32 and 38 inches, approximately, one yard, or meter. (Sukkah 1:1)
How Thick? Lets Light Pass? Blocks Light?
The thickness of the "Sechach" must be such that in the daytime it provides more shade than it allows sunlight to pass through.
On the other hand, it cannot be so thick that it would completely obscure the brightest stars at night.
"Active" and "Passive" Covering
There is a verse in the Torah from which is derived the requirement that the "Sechach" should be applied "actively" and not "passively." This principle is called "Ta'Aseh v'lo Min he'Asuy." Using other words, positive, intentional action on the part of the one who lays the "Sechach" is required, rather than the passive allowing of the arrival of the "Sechach" to occur.
This principle, the requirement of positive action, rather than passive involvement, has application in various areas of the Torah. Here, we will suffice with two examples of its application in the World of the "Sukkah:"
1. One who hollows out space within a large haystack, hoping to use the hay on top of the space as "Sechach," has not succeeded in creating a valid Sukkah, because that hay was not placed there for the purpose of "Sechach," but for some other hay-related purpose. (Of course, this is not to imply that hay is not valid as "Sechach" (watch that double negative!); it certainly is valid "Sechach" when it is placed properly.)
2. One may not use bundles of hay or some other valid "Sechach"-material as "Sechach." You ask, "Why not?" The answer given by the Talmud, perhaps somewhat more relevant in those times, or perhaps in the modern State of Israel, where there are many Jewish farmers, is that sometimes a farmer will put a bundle of hay on top of the Sukkah for the sole purpose of drying it in preparation for some purpose unrelated to "Sechach." Only afterwards will he decide to use those bundles as "Sechach!" But we would then be caught again in the trap of passive placement rather that active covering!
And because of that fear of someone initially putting up bundles to dry, and later deciding to use them as "Sechach," the Sages also said that even if the builder of the Sukkah wanted from the beginning to use the bundles as "Sechach," he is not permitted to do so.

Founded in 1994 as a recording studio, the MilkBoy brand has since burgeoned into two bustling cafes and an all-ages venue for live music and artistic events. MilkBoy Coffee's multifarious menu brims with snacks and drinks for vegetarians, vegans, and carnivores alike. Morning munchers kick-start the day with a big breakfast burrito, packed with scrambled eggs, black beans, sausage, sour cream, cheddar, and yawn-eradicating salsa ($5.95). For lunch, hands can happily encircle the bruschetta-chicken wrap, with a savory sleeping bag of shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta ($6.25), and teeth can burrow into the herbivorous depths of the veggie burger, served with a vegan thousand-island dressing, named for the number of islands ruled by Oprah ($5.25). MilkBoy's PB&J sandwich whisks customers back to a simpler time when blanket capes were de rigeur ($3.95). To drink, sip on a steamy café au lait ($2 for a small) or a frosty mint-chocolate-chip milkshake ($4.95).
When the members of Creed parted ways in 2004, they left at the top of their game. Their unique brand of throbbing hard rock and post-grunge, with its spiritual metaphors laden with naked emotion, had catapulted them from anonymous to ubiquitous in a time span comparable to the rise of The Beatles. After a tense breakup under the pressures of fame, lead singer Scott Stapp and all the original members have reunited to treat fans to a double dose of platinum-selling hits.
The Mann Center is a prepossessing structure from anywhere you sit in the semi-covered amphitheater—all huge, rough slabs of timber that evoke the setting for a barn dance held by elegant giants. Even the lawn section isn't an ordinary lawn: from the top of the steep hill where the theater perches, audiences can see not only the performers lighting up the stage below but also the canopy of trees in surrounding Fairmount Park and the city skyline just beyond.

In professional theaters, Macbeth is euphemistically referred to as "the Scottish play" in order to avoid invoking the name that summons the ghosts of dyspeptic bagpipe players. Witness the danger firsthand with the PST's re-imagining, wherein the play's claustrophobic themes of madness are pictorially recreated with dramatic Asian music and theater forms. The opposite side of this Janus head is A Midsummer Night's Dream, a colorful romp through a fairy-infested forest that stands in stark contrast to the inward spiral of Lord and Lady Macbeth's dreadful natures. Thick with bright hues and inspired by Indian music and movement, PST's Midsummer liberates the senses from their corporeal soul-sack and guides them through the fumbles, foibles, and philandering ways of love, life, and leaving. No matter which story is witnessed, the audience is sure to enjoy plays performed with passion and panache by a theater company dedicated to Shakespearean productions.

"The key to economic recovery in the Mississippi Delta will be to bring the economy back home," DFFI says, and their document shows just how they will do that.

Promising Community-Based Food System Initiatives (2010)
Looking for inspiration? Here is a concise overview of some of the reasons the community-based food movement must flourish, with selected examples of groundbreaking local foods initiatives across the U.S.
The Potential for Urban Agriculture (2009)
Urban Agriculture holds great potential. Did you know that forty-one percent of all farm commodities are sold from farms in metropolitan counties? And that 55% of the money made from producing farm commodities was made in metro regions?
Proposals for Census of Agriculture 2012 (2009)
What if the 2012 U.S. Census of Agriculture helped communities measure their own health, wealth, connection and capacity, not just farms and commodities? Read these recommendations by Ken Meter of Crossroads Resource Center.
Local Food as Community Economic Development (2008)
Local and state governments now spend $50 billion per year giving incentives to businesses, and often don't get much in return. Building community-based food systems is a better way to refashion the U.S. economy.
Local Food Systems: Building Health & Wealth in Metro Denver (2008)
Food has become a leading cause of death, rivaling tobacco. Colorado spends $874 million per year to pay for the medical costs of obesity. The Metro Denver Health and Wellness Commission asked Angie Tagtow and Ken Meter to show the potential local foods systems have to reduce public costs for food-related health conditions. Data like this might help your local officials support the local foods cause.
Neighborhood Balance Sheets Assess Local Economies
How does a low-income neighborhood create a regional destination? First, by understanding its local economy, and then by acting together to strengthen existing capacities. See Ken Meter's White Paper, written for the American Planning Association (APA) (1998).
Hoosier Farmer? Emerging Food Systems in Indiana
Food business clusters have been emerging in Indiana since the mid-1970s. They are now taking root in farm commodity producing regions. Young members of the Indiana Farm Bureau are positioning themselves for a future of farming that may be very different than the past, knowing that if each Hoosier spent less than $5 per week buying food directly from Indiana farms, this would generate $1.5 billion of new farm income for state farmers—a 20% increase in farm revenue.
Hoosier Farmer? Emerging Food Systems in Indiana (2012)
Commissioned by the Indiana State Department of Health
Ohio's Food Systems — Farms at the Heart of It All
Clusters of local foods businesses are forming across Ohio, as residents innovate ways to provide healthier food options,
and bring farmers into more direct contact with consumers. These business clusters focus their attention on building strong relationships of
trust, overcoming a long history of export agriculture. Written by Ken Meter of Crossroads Resource Center for the
University of Toledo Urban Affairs Center, with funds from the
Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Ohio's Food Systems — Farms at the Heart of It All (2011)
Mapping the Minnesota Food System
A study of Minnesota's food economy shows relationships are the key to creating the food industry of the future. Read close interviews with food business leaders, and learn a wealth of facts and figures. Mapping the Minnesota Food Industry (2009)
Food With the Farmer's Face On It: Emerging Community-Based Food Systems (2003)
Emerging in thousands of communities all over the U.S., the community-based foods movement seeks to find "Food With the Farmer's Face On It." The W. K. Kellogg Foundation asked Ken Meter to produce a media guide introducing readers to this vital movement.
Generic Scope of Work for Local Economic Analysis
Local foods leaders of 95 regions in 32 states and one Canadian province have asked Ken Meter to study their local farm and food economy. His analysis has played a critical role in animating local foods activity across the continent.
Finding Food in Farm Country (2001)
Launching all of this activity was Ken Meter's original "Finding Food in Farm Country" study of Southeast Minnesota, commissioned by Community Design Center and the Experiment in Rural Cooperation. This has been used as a reference in at least 12 university programs.
Fifty-Year Vision & Indicators for a Sustainable Minneapolis
The City of Minneapolis won national recognition for its sustainability initiative. Central to that effort was a fifty-year vision for the city's future, and specific measures of sustainability, devised by city residents. The public process for defining these indicators was coordinated by Ken Meter of Crossroads Resource Center. This is a fundamental document to read if you want to measure sustainability.
Neighborhood Commercial Development for the Long Term
Our position paper shows that building strong neighborhood commercial districts involves building wealth for local residents.

Chicken and Egg Wrap
In Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) in East India, kathi rolls are a staple food. Pancakes or parathas are filled with vegetables, cooked chicken or meat. Watching a kathi roll being made is fascinating. |

Gorgeous rug, arrived quickly. It looks like it does in the photo, with soft muted tones. Perfect for our living room. Thick and luxurious. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it sheds like crazy.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Excellent quality. Very happy with my purchase.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is beautiful and very high quality! It is a little lighter in color than the picture, but that is perfect for my situation.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Just got my new rug and I LOVE it! It's perfect. The color is a little lighter than the photo, but I was hoping it would be. The sage green and red accents perfectly match the colors in my living room. Looks great on my new hardwood floors. This is my first experience with this company and I will certainly buy from them again. Everything was just as it should be. Great website, fast delivery, quality product.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug appears gold tone and is listed as beige but is actually more pea green. Photo not a good representation.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I have been extremely pleased with RugsUSA as a company and with the 8 other rugs I have purchased previously, but I was disappointed with this particular rug. Colors were lighter and very muted....not interesting at all. The pile along the border of the rug was a little scruffy....just not great-looking quality. The price was amazing, but maybe you get what you pay for.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Perfect color, fast shipping, good quality! I have now recommended Rugs USA to numerous family members!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love love this rug. Was a little nervous about it because in other reviews it was described with a lot gold but it is perfect. It is a lighter rug compared to my rich dark floors but really adds and lighten up the room. The colors are perfect with a little red (more of a spice color) with some blue and a hint of green. Love this rug from Texas!!!
Took some time to process order, but once it was, it was delivered quickly. The rug did shed alot at first, but after a few good vacuum's it was fine. The color was perfect (maybe a tad lighter then photo) and very good quality. I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of the carpet. No rug pad necessary even with a large dog. Overall, very happy and would ordder again from Rugs USA!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.nice quality rug, but the colors were significantly lighter than what was shown in the picture...happy with the quality but extremely disappointed with the color.
Great rug and received it quickly! I would def order from rugusa again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I really wanted to wait a while before submitting my review, wanted to see how this rug "aged" in my home with traffic and my Chocolate Lab who loves it! I have to say that I could not be happier!! I had purchased a couple other rugs elsewhere. One, the color was too saturated and the other fell apart within the first week! Yikes!! This one, I felt, was simply gorgeous. The colors are sophisticated, muted, rich-looking. Equally important is how it's weathered the last three months. There was "fuzz" that needed to be vacuumed at first, but that's almost nonexistent now. It's a great color choice with my dog (who doesn't get a bath quite nearly often enough), so it still looks beautiful. The price, the quality - ARE.YOU.KIDDING.ME. - fabulous value. I'm thrilled I found your web site. I can't imagine there is a better value out there. Two thumbs and four paws up! Thank you!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.beautiful rug! nice and thick pile. Perfect for my space.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Quality exceeded overall expectations. Weight of carpet was impressive as was color. Color was quite accurately representative of online images. Shipping was quick and much care was afforded to the rugs to ensure a safe transit.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The shipping and delivery were very fast . Excellent quality. Very heavy and matched the internet picture very well. This was my first time buying off the internet for a rug and this worked out great.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.very nice muted tones with a little bit of sage green accents along with the dark red
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.COLOR EVEN BETTER THAN THE PIC. THICK RUG. LOOING FORWARD TO MANY YEARS OF USE. REALLY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I did like the rug and it was a great price. It was lighter than depicted here, I mean - way lighter. I also expected a bit more of a "worn" look, but it looked new.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.So happy with this carpet. It's feel is wonderful and the colors are exactly as on the photo. My one reservation is that it initially shedded little fibers from the pile. After a couple of thorough vacuuming they are gone. Looks very old world, delivery was was exceptionally fast. A keeper
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love the rug....was worried about ordering off the net for something so dominant in the house but it turned out nice. Serves it's purpose as a runner in the hall.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful rug - great value and quality for the price. RugsUSA was great - fast shippers. We were very pleasantly surprised with the whole shopping experience - and we love the rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a good carpet for the money. Arrived very soon after ordering.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I absolutely LOVE my rug that arrived this morning!! The colors are just a tad brighter than the photo. The quality is "super excellent"! This was my first time buying from RUGS USA, but it certainly won't be my last. This rug is plush and is a welcome to my feet and my eyes when I first enter my home after a long day at work.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Exactly what I wanted. The quality is excellent and the prices better than any local dealer.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I am very happy with this rug. I purchased the 6' round, and the large oval for my kitchen, and they look great. The colors are very true to the picture. I wasn't sure if the flowers were red or brown. They are like a rust, which is exactly what I wanted.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Let's Get Dirty...
The Ian Somerhalder Foundation invites you to "Get Dirty"!
In 2007 the country of Estonia launched the "Let's Do It" Clean Up Initiative where 50,000 Estonians came together to clean up the country in one day and accomplished what would have taken the government 3 years and 22 millions EU. The initiative collected 10,000 tons of trash that was polluting their communities.
After watching their inspiring project clean up video 2007 "Let's Do It" Clean Up Initiative in Estonia, Ian was compelled to initiate a Clean Up initiative in the United States. After months of preparation, The Ian Somerhalder Foundation is proud to announce its "Let's get Dirty" Initiative. Sometimes you have to Get Dirty before you get CLEAN
The Ian Somerhalder Foundation aims to join more than 2000 schools in a state wide effort to clean up local communities throughout the state of California while supporting the clean up efforts of partner organisations
on Saturday, April 21st, 2012 to Clean Up the state of California. With support from cities, counties, local businesses, youth associations, schools, non-profit organizations and individuals, we do have the power to impact our planet.
The Ian Somerhalder Foundation's Let's Get Dirty Initiative aims to create a shift of consciousness in how we perceive ourselves as delineated entities from the environment and highlight how our daily choices as consumers create the environmental issues humanity is facing. It's about understanding that every choice you make is a vote either for or against the kind of world you wish to live in. It's about harnessing the power of choice.
To join the "Let's Get Dirty" Initiative, please review this webpage and learn how you can get involved and REGISTER. Once your registration is complete, you will be able to download our "Let's Get Dirty" toolkits to help with the execution of your Clean Up efforts.
Clean Up and Green Up your School!
We are excited to announce we've teamed up with Koru fundraising. Our collaboration with Koru Fundraising enables students to fundraise for ISF and for their Green School project. 20% of the funds raised will be invested into ISF Youth Development programs and 20% of funds raised by each student will be directed to their school's approved green project.

Optical to Coaxial ConverterPros: Worked great to convert optical audio output from computer to coax input in speakers for a couple months Cons: It broke after only two months Did you find this review helpful? |
Works Great!Pros: It works great. Perfect if you don't have an optical in or if it is broken like mine. Cons: It needs power but thats understandable Other Thoughts: I went through 3 different adapters to try to hook up my XBOX360 to my 5yo Sony Surround Sound and none of them worked. So after troubleshooting some more, I came to find out that the optical in went bad so the only way i could get surround sound was old style(coax). This was the perfect solution Did you find this review helpful? |
WorksPros: - Plug and Play Cons: - None really Other Thoughts: I purchased this because I had ran out of optical inputs on my amp and my HTPC only had optical output. Did you find this review helpful? |
Yeah RightPros: Small and discrete...that's about it. Cons: Did not work at all! At first I thought it was my home theater system in my bedroom that would not route the sound correctly and then I tried on my PC and another home theater system in the living room. No dice! Other Thoughts: Will be returning this as soon as I get the time. Worst 40 bucks I've ever spent. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works Great!Pros: My one coaxial input on my digital receiver was already being used by my game console, this allowed me to plug in to my RCA style digital input on the same receiver. Now my HTPC has 5.1 digital sound and I don't have to swap out connections when switching from one to the other. Sweet setup! Cons: Requires a 110 volt outlet for the little power pack, not so much a con but it is drawing power 24/7. Other Thoughts: USB power for this would be awesome, that way it would only be on when my PC is on, although I don't know if that would be enough juice. Did you find this review helpful? |
Disregaurd the previous postPros: -Audio sounds great if you're using quality cables Cons: -None at the moment Other Thoughts: That previous post was embarrassingly wrong, had I read the directions I would have realized the "mini optical in" port was actually the cover for the Toslink female port. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: -Comes in sleek packaging Cons: -None at the moment Other Thoughts: I didn't get what was picture or ordered - the one I got was mini-optical in when I ordered Toslink. I'll update the review when I receive the one I ordered. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
In this activity you will explore the contemporary approaches used to understand, treat, and prevent psychological disorders. Although psychologists may blend concepts from more than one approach, each approach represents a distinct view of the central issues in psychology.
To begin, you will learn about these approaches and their unique perspectives on human nature and psychological disturbance. Then, you will put each into practice for a common psychological disorder.
Begin by exploring the different approaches.

SAN RAFAEL took a bold step when the City Council approved hiring a nonprofit to run a program that will pay the homeless to help clean up the city.
Downtown Streets Team, which is based in Palo Alto, will get a $272,000, one-year contract. The program provides temporary employment to the homeless to help them get back on their feet. The 12 participants are given a block to keep clean, using brooms and dustpans.
If they take part in weekly meetings they can work with a case manager who can assist them in writing resumes and gaining access to housing.
Participants are paid in gift cards, usually worth $100 a week.
City leaders hope the approach will address one of the more visible aspects of this issue, the homeless who frequent downtown. Some residents and visitors have complained about feeling uneasy in parts of downtown.
We appreciate the City Council's desire to do something. Mayor Gary Phillips has been a driving force behind coming up with a nuanced strategy to address this complicated issue and has been working with the county and service providers along with residents and other stakeholders.
Because it is Marin's biggest city with the largest, most urban downtown, along with being home to nonprofits that work with the homeless, San Rafael has the largest and most visible homeless population. About 1,200 homeless people live in Marin with 45 percent residing in San Rafael.
Phillips has worked hard to involve more than just the city, which is a wise approach.
The $272,000 is coming from Marin General Hospital ($100,000), Marin Community Foundation and Kaiser ($50,000 each), the county ($25,000) and the city ($47,000).
That's an impressive commitment, especially for a city that doesn't have extra cash. Details are being firmed up, but the goal is to use some of the money to create more beds at the Vine Detox Center in San Rafael, where people can undergo alcohol and drug detoxification. That will keep them out of the hospital and jail and hopefully save money and resources.
City Council members have some reservations about the program but decided it was worth a try.
We also have concerns, starting with how effective the program will be in attracting participants. A $100 gift card for 20 hours of picking up trash is $5 an hour, far less than the minimum wage. We will be curious to see how many of Marin's homeless will jump at the opportunity to sweep city streets or remove graffiti for that amount. Many of the newly homeless are educated and are capable of holding jobs that pay far more. Most of them have.
That said, we hope the program works.
It is encouraging to see so many key players, including Marin General Hospital and Kaiser, joining forces on this issue in such a creative way. San Rafael and Mayor Phillips deserve much credit for this progressive step.

PC Power and Cooling, a company well known for high performance PSUs has released a new model: the Silencer 750. Main specs are: +5V @ 30A +12V @ 60A -12V @ 0.8A +3.3V @ 24A +5VSB @ 3A continuous = 750W peak = 825W The PSU is to be priced around $199. Source: PC Power and Cooling
60amps on a single 12v line, that's insane. Probably not as good for SLI/XFire users as a dual or triple 12v rail system would be, but certainly superior for cpu and chipset requirements. This is almost designed for super pi benchers.
actually, I'm betting the single 12v rail would.. beat the crap out of a split rail system, when its rated this high. If one rail gets overloaded, and the other is at max, GG psu. I'm more worried about the wires melting from the current..
the extra signal cleanness of multi-rail PSUs is a delusion. theyre all connected to a shared master overcurrent protecttor anyway.
For those who don't already know, PC Power & Cooling makes the finest PSUs on the planet. They are OEM suppliers to Sun and other server companies for mission critical applications. I've tested and used a variety of their PSUs over the years and have yet to find anything even remotely close in performance, quality or value.
humm its intersting to compair the 510 sli/express to this one the express 510 has a 40a 5v and this one has a 30a 5v rail this one also has les temp and humidity tolerances but other than that specs seem to idicate that this one is far supiror in all other respects (that i can see) though i wont pass final judgment till i see someone do a stress test while monitoring voltage ripple etc (if anyone knows of a review like that plz link) btw it isnt that much more than the express/sli 510 lol 197$ vs 199$
Hahaha trust me I know. I mean the metal might serve a purpose in and of itself, but when you're into modding, a lot of cases just don't come with colors that match the "color" of copper. Like mine for instance is black and blue. It's just a thought. Then again, if you wanted to take the time, you could paint it, I guess...
From the engineers/overclockers that want performance, not looks: Bugger off. This is marketted for performance, not modders If you want looks, buy an OCZ. lol
There are PSUS as good as PC POWER & COOLING Antec makes great powersupplies as does Enermax. Thermaltake and Mushkin do too. So yes, there are PSUs just as good if not better. However, PC Power and Cooling is one kick ass PSU maker, and they've been doing it for 20 years. Just thought I would throw my 2 cents in to the piggy bank.
Nah, even other PSU makers will admit PCP&C = the best. period. Although there are quite a few other psu makers that are more than acceptable in this market =)
Everybody needs to stop acking like they know what their talking about and put one of these babies under some stress tests. Becaue how often have you seen benches done on a PSU with 60amp on a signal +12 volt rail comparied to a dual or quad.
I know I know! Performance is everything, I always consider that first, I was just stating a point. Anyone who has a window in their case (I should have been clear that I was referring to people who have windowed cases) will most likely consider the color of the object they buy.
let me tell you a story of 2 top of the line thermaltake psus rofl well long story short one fried with nothing more than a mobo pluged into it and the other picked a fight with a motherboard and won rofl that poor south bridge "poof!" i never skimped on psus again went out and got 2 pcpac psus and havent had to worry since
But here is the caveat of this conundrum: With CPU's using less current to operate (with GPU to follow...hopefully in the near future) high power PSU's show their obsolesce already. So, it would be advantageous to create a PSU with better tolerances then more wattage as the days of P4, netburst have come to an end. Once these new AMD (K8L) and Conroe/Kentfield CPUs enter server land...the need for high power output PSUs are no longer needed. However, this is IMO...
AMD and Intel have felt the power usage stick pretty good this time around... Ati and Nvidia however... seem to keep pushin on...
I'm gonna try this PSU, I'll let you how it can provide enough power for my rig, otherwise Zippy 850w it is.

Kelp is a large, leafy brown algae that belongs to the seaweed family and grows in the colder waters of the world's oceans. It is a good source of marine minerals, including potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. It is also an excellent source of iodine, which has been shown to support healthy thyroid function. Your thyroid gland is responsible for producing the hormones that support normal cellular metabolism. As with most green foods, kelp also contains vitamins and cell salts essential for good nutrition.

Cheap hotels near Piazza Santo Spirito in Florence, Italy
Situated across the river in Oltrarno, the lovely and romantic Piazza Santo Spirito is a peaceful home to the Church of Santo Spirito. The church, which dates from 1436, is one of the great examples of Renaissance architecture in Florence.
The square itself dates to the 13th-century when it was razed with the idea that it could serve as a platform for Augustinian monks who had started to preach publicly and were amassing crowds.
Today the square hosts daily outdoor markets and fairs (offering both clothing and food). The piazza is lined with restaurants, cafes, nightclubs and shops, most of which get busier at night. In addition, the area tends to attract artists, whose lofts are in the area.
At night, young Florentines flock to the square, hang out on the church steps, and relax (sometimes with a beer bottle in hand).
Hotels near Piazza Santo Spirito: Below, you'll find only a few cheap sleeps in Otrarno, Florence's mostly residential left bank. For many more options, cross over the Ponte Vecchio and head to the neighborhood surrounding the Duomo, or further north toward the train station and and Santa Maria Novella. In any case, you'll find plenty of 1 and 2-star properties.

Points to Dwell On |
Monday, 04 March 2013 12:22 | |||
When solder doesn't want to flow, try increasing the dwell time. Some of the components our customers ask us to solder can absorb a lot of heat. And I mean a lot of heat. One particular part that we solder has 16 solder joints, is made completely of metal (not sure what, but it seems like a tinned copper), and nearly every pin sits on an enormous ground plane. Not to mention the holes are by no means oversized to make this any easier.

Photos below were taken on our last day in Virginia Beach. It was such a nice day to go swimming, but we need to pack our things to head back to our daily routines. Our 3 days vacation here last summer 2011 was so awesome, and was so quick. There was so much things to do, and 3 days was not enough.
Before we head to our next destination, we strike a pose first at the statue of King Neptune. If you visit Virginia Beach, you will never miss this 34-feet Bronze Sculpture, that sits in the middle of the beach on the Boardwalk, at 31st Street by the Hilton Hotel, which is close to our Hotel. It was build on May 10, 2005, in honor of the Neptune Festival that is held every September. The creatures around King Neptune shows the wonders hidden beneath the waves., and that stern look shows that he is not entirely pleased with the ecologically poor use of his seas, according to Paul Di Pasquale who sculpted this piece. He sure look so magnificent and powerful. I hope this statue will remind everyone to take care of our water.
And here I am looking so tan, sitting pretty in one of the benches by the boardwalk, while waiting for my men to finish surveying this majestic sculpture.
