This summer I will have a chance to work on a 16-week summer research project under a professor in convex/discrete geometry. I'm a first-year student with a fairly good background for my age and I've been working through a graduate text in convex geometry, "Introduction to Convex Polytopes" by Brondsted. I need to decide with my supervisor what topic to focus on for a research proposal.
In general I am interested in any topics related to properties of polytopes, tesselations of spaces, illumination problems, packing of convex bodies, etc.
Which of these areas would be most accessible for a first-year student to work on (around 8-weeks to study and learn the background of the problem, and around 8-weeks to work on the problem and continue to learn background material). I'm interested in what sub-field of convex geometry/discrete geometry offers the opportunity to work on a problem that would fit within this time schedule with a potential tangible result towards the solution.
- Sphere Packings (kissing numbers, density, voronoi cells of sphere packings, etc.)
- Finite Packings by Translates of Convex Bodies (Hadwiger numbers, touching numbers)
- Illumination Conjecture and Related Problems
- Coverings by Planks and Cylinders (Covering with hyperplanes, etc.)
- Volumes of Sphere Arrangements (Kneser-Poulsen Conjecture, etc.)
- Ball-Polyhedra (rigidity, disk-polygons, spindle convex sets)
- Convex Polytopes (antipodality, supporting hyperplanes, etc.)
Any suggestions as to what sort of area of topics (please be at least as specific as the list I've just mentioned) I might be able to access would be very helpful! So far I have a basic understanding of some topics to do with affine spaces, basic topology, graph theory, knot theory, hyperplanes, and convex sets.

Lyn Ford says her father was the worst cook but the best storyteller she ever knew.
So while the featured speaker in tonight's 16th annual Ocoee Story Fest at Cleveland State Community College has followed his footsteps in becoming a storyteller, she also has honored his cooking by calling her stories Home-Fried Tales.
"I still feel that way," the Ohio resident said of her dad. "There was something about his voice. He had a strong, deep voice, and he knew how to make it soft and gentle and powerful to characterize the different characters in the story and bring the story to a head."
The Story Fest, which will be held in the college student center's Foundation Room, will have both a general public and a children's component.
Ford said she would tell stories in the general public session from her "Afrilachian" point of view -- she said she had roots from Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee up to Pennsylvania. They will include Jack tales and personal stories, all "pretty much humorous and from the heart," she said.
For young people, she said, she will present a program called "Let's Throw Stones," in which she tells stories rooted in African, African-American and West Indian folk tales. The throwing, she said, deals with the concept of sharing the story.
"If I do a good job of tossing it out," Ford said, the audience can "give it back to me by the way they respond and enjoy the story."
As a fourth-generation storyteller with black, American Indian and white roots, she said her stories are often "about community and how we're entitled all to be different but to be all one community."
Her storytelling career, Ford said, started with the things she heard as a child, primarily from her father and grandfather, but she said those generations are dying away. Now, she said, a good bit of research goes into selecting and honing her stories.
The Ocoee Story Fest was begun by the Cleveland Storytelling Guild in 1996 and continues to be sponsored by the group.

Order Michael Jackson The Experience
Publisher Partners with The Estate of Michael Jackson for Ultimate Performance Experience
Los Angeles – June 14, 2010 – Today, Ubisoft® announced the development of an interactive performance-based video game, inspired by the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The game is family entertainment at its best and will provide an interactive experience that enables players to step into the shoes of Michael Jackson himself and re-live his most iconic performances through their own singing and dancing. The upcoming game will include the most famous tracks from Michael Jackson's extensive catalogue such as Beat It and Billie Jean, as well as an array of his awe-inspiring dance moves for players to learn and emulate within the game. Additionally, fans will be able to sing along and test their vocal skills while immersed in the performance.
Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and the most popular global icons of all time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture. During his extraordinary career Jackson sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award. His album "Thriller" is the world's best-selling album of all time with more than 110 million copies sold.
"Michael always pushed every limit when it came to technology to give his fans unforgettable entertainment experiences, whether it involved his videos, his recordings or his concerts. Now, with this interactive product, we have the chance to bring Michael, the artist, into households around the world in a perfect match of Michael's artistry and the family entertainment which he always highly valued. Kids, their parents, extended family members and friends will now have an opportunity to all come together and experience Michael's music and dance in an innovative, exciting and fun way," said John Branca, co-executor for The Estate of Michael Jackson.
Added Michael Jackson Estate Co-Executor John McClain: "No artist can energize a dance floor in the spirit of fun like Michael Jackson. His God-given gifts for music and dance are something new generations of fans will appreciate even more. This game is a natural extension of what he would be doing today to raise his artistry to even greater heights for his fans of all generations. It is a game that the entire family can experience and enjoy together and this is something that would please Michael tremendously."
"We're delighted to have the opportunity to develop a game based on the songs and moves of one of the world's most incredible performers of all time," said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "We expect the game to bring Michael Jackson fans, families and friends together with the energetic song and dance of The King of Pop."
The game will be available for "Project Natal" for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 system with PlayStation®Move support, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Nintendo's Wii&tm; system and Nintendo DS&tm; handheld system, for holiday 2010.

hey guys,what are you going to do at mj's first anniversary on tomorrow?please reply!
guys,what are you going to do 2day?please reply!
Hey Fans... There will be so much info this week in light of our Michael's annivesary to Heaven.
I just signed up to be part of a portrait tribute to Michael. I thought it was really special. Celebrities that I am along side with and you can be to are Diana Ross, Adam Lambert, Jermaine Jackson, Jesse Jackson, George Lopez, and Larry King to name a few have already signed up to be represented in the portrait.
What it is, is a potrait of Michael done of a skilled technique using dots. Each dot represents a fan of his. The portrait of Michael can only be finished as fans go to the website and sign up and be placed on the portrait. It is really sweet. You can order a copy of the finished product. They will give you a dot number and a location of your dot. Its so sweet and you get to be there with friends and family and the rest of our family of MJ fans that loved him.
Go to:
www. michaeljacksontributeportrait.com
You can also write a message to Michael.
ITS FREE!! Remember, they need us to finish it.
i love u mj
What do you think Fans? How do you feel about the report that Prince, Paris, and Prince II are going to start at a private school in the fall? She stated private college. Maybe Prince I and Paris are taking advance classes or its a prep school.
I know Katherine tried to enroll them last summer into the school alot of her grandkids have already attended, but it was too late to enroll them. I heard she was on the parent teacher association. I think its good for the kids for life skills and I pray that they meet kind and honest people and friends.
But we all know... someone is going to try to befriend them to gain something or just because they are "Michael Jackson's" kids. Not to mention the teasing that will be on a different level from our experiences. But they will have good experiences too. Pray for them fans. Pray for Katherine as she makes numerous decisions.
What is your opinion if these reports? Should they be home schooled or attend a private school with other classmates?
L-O-V-E people.
Thanks to all of you who went to http://www.steveharvey.com, Michael has 62% of the vote and Prince has 36%. This survey is up until August. Please continue to check the website and vote for Michael Jackson, The best artist of the past few decades. If nothing else we will continue to be Michael's voice. Its all for LOVE.
Hey fans. There is a report that says MJ's kids will be in michael's hometown in gary indiana for their father's anniversary. It is said that katherine is taking them there to be around family and away from the crowds in L.A. This week. I'm sure people will probably be outside there home when i think about it. Also. . . I don't know how true it is because of who is involved. But there is also a report of a book being released by katherine. One page will be pictures. The other side will be her thoughts on her son. But its said to be put out by marc shaffel . . . And i thought he was shady. He worked for michael for a little while. Michael's die hard fans may remember him working along side michael in the what more can i give video project. But he later sued michael. So . . . We'll see. L o v e people! I miss you michael! I love you michael! Come back! I can't believe you will have been gone a year this friday!
Thank You guys. I have been working on this since Friday night. You guys rock. We all know who's bad. The fans are in this instance. Go to http://www.steveharvey.com. Vote for Michael as the best artist in the past few decades. Prince was winning, but we have gained on him and surpassed him. Lets keep voting.
Michael is happy with this tribute for him.
Like everyone else in world i wish u didn't have 2 go so soon its almost been one year since u left this world.
I am majorly super excited 4 the new game 2 come out but i wish it could come out sooner. But I guess the longer the better it is. By looking at the image I can all ready tell that the game is gonna be AWESOME and I hope they do include Michael as one of the options for an Avatar, if not I'm gonna be very disappointed lol XD. And I'm Curious about how many songs they would choose and what song.
http://www.steveharvey.com/ Please vote 4 Michael... Surprisingly Prince is Winning

However I have also heard a lot of people make shampoo from it too (or bodywash). The only con I have seen so far is the shelf life of the liquid form isn't too great. I was wondering if you have heard of this, and could offer a good preservative for it. And if you have used it, maybe a tutorial? I was thinking alot of people describe it as a pineappley scent, so maybe use the exotic fruit smoothie fragrance, and then add in tea tree EO and nettle extract for added hair benefits…and maybe a little yarrow powder and jojoba oil…for the preservative I'm not sure though as I know you don't recommend GSE as a full preservative. Most people stick it in their fridge, but I would prefer to be able to keep say an 8oz bottle in the shower. I am weird I like to have a minimum of 3 or so shampoos available for rotation, and making it myself sounds more fun! I currently have 2 shampoo bars I made, like 3 or so I have bought, and two store bought (Jason and Carols Daughter)…my mom calls me a flower child now that I am getting more into this stuff LOL! But what would be a good preservative for a shampoo liquid? Perhaps optiphen or phenonip? I am sorry for making this comment so long!
Good Morning!
We have heard of the soap nuts, but haven't yet created a tutorial for it (thanks for the suggestion). If you are looking for a preservative that would work for a shampoo recipe, I would go with Phenonip as it is the only preservative that we have that and effective enough for the pH of the shampoo (most liquid soaps and shampoos have a pH of around 8-9). It's pretty oil soluble, so I would add it in at the heated phase and keep it below the temperature that the preservative starts to degrade at. You will want to mix it with some sort of an oil to get it to mix in properly. Some people even actually divide it between the oil and water phases to get it to mix in better. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

P.S. Phenonip and Polysorbate 80 and 20 are not friends so don't use them with either of them.

Scoggins and Reyna battle for top seat
The Ellis County Press
ELLIS COUNTY – The 10th Court of Appeals hears approximately 400 criminal and civil appeals a year from lower courts in eighteen Texas counties including Ellis.
Located in Waco, the court is composed of a chief justice and two justices.
This year, Justice Felipe Reyna is up for re-election and vying for the spot during the March 2 primaries are Reyna and Al Scoggins who currently is serving as Ellis County's 378th District Judge.
Each candidate was sent the exact same Questions to answer briefly.
Felipe Renya (I)
Al Scoggins
What are your top three issues?
The cornerstone of our democracy is access to a fair and impartial justice system.
The judicial branch of government must remain separate and independent from political pressure, special interest groups, and personal agendas.
Every person has the right to defend and promote his own personal values.
Judges, however, should not impose their own set of personal values from the bench.
I decide cases based upon the facts of the case and the law as it currently exists.
A. 26 years as a trial judge would be beneficial to a court whose function is to determine whether error was made in the trial court. B. My ability to work with other people would be helpful on a three-judge court. C. I would be a strict constructionist that would not legislate from the appellate court bench.
Why are you seeking this position?
Reyna: I am certainly not a career politician. At the beginning of my legal career, I was a prosecutor in the District Attorneys Office for four years, and then served as District Attorney of McLennan Coun-ty for six years.
Following that service, I was in private practice with my wife for twenty years, experiencing the challenges of a small businessman and gaining the wisdom that comes from representing and advocating the interests of individual clients.
After 30 years of practicing law out there in the real world, Gov Perry selected me for this position. The voters agreed with him and I have accepted the invitation to culminate my legal career in public service.
To put my years of experience to work for the citizens. In the history of the 10th Court of appeals, there has never been a justice elected from Ellis County.
I earnestly ask for the readers consideration, vote and support.
What are your goals for the first three months in office?
During my first term, the backlog of cases in the 10th Court has been reduced by 27 percent, and I intend to continue the efforts that have lead to that progress.
I have written more opinions in the last six years than the other two justices, and over 95 percent of my decisions reviewed by higher courts have been affirmed. With six years of appellate bench experience behind me, I know what must be done and how to get it done.
As a trial judge in Ellis County for over 26 years, I would like to see a better working relationship between the judges on the court.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Republican leaders of the General Assembly want Indiana to scrap the Common Core education standards and have the state adopt its own guidelines to prepare students for college and careers, a report Sunday said.
House Speaker Brian Bosma of Indianapolis and Senate President David Long of Fort Wayne have said they will direct the Republican-controlled Legislature to require the state to create its own set of reading and math standards separate from Common Core, The (Munster) Times reported.

One bedroom has its own bathroom, while the other two share a common bathroom. There is a storage area along with the laundry chute off the fourth bedroom. For the family with children in school or for the computer buff.
The walk-through kitchen adds to the totally open effect emphasized throughout the home. The kitchen has all the build-in appliances, plus a pantry. A large family room is off the kitchen giving this area the feel of a great room with all its openness. Three skylights located around the family room and the sun nook enhances lighting in this area. Sliding doors off the sun nook area gives access to the back .
Adjoining the kitchen is the vaulted dining room. This arrangement allows meals to be served without delay. As the room is very deep, there is plenty of area for a formal dining set.
The vaulted front entry takes you into the generous, vaulted living room for formal or informal entertainment of your guests. A wide front window admits a splendid view. There is also a vaulted swing room that can be used for a number of purposes such as a den, a library, or a parlor.
The isolated master suite completes this floor design. Occupying the entire left side of the home, this appealing suite features abundant closet space, separate vanity, linen storage and gives you both a shower and a spa tub.

Eczema/Rash from the 30 day cleanse
12:30 pm
March 23, 2010
1:48 am
February 19, 2013
I am about half way through the cleanse and about 7 days ago, I noticed what I thought was a rash appear on one of my hands. It originally appeared as a mildly irritating couple of bumps which I originally attributed to mosquitoes. As the week progressed, i noticed several other places where these bumps were occurring and by this time the top of my had had errupted into what appears to be eczema. I now have a large patch on the inside of both my thighs, along both my arms, my neck and chest. Some sites say it's normal others don't. I am curious if it is best to continue the cleanse in hopes that it is the detoxification process causing this or if I should quit as this is not common?
I appreciate any help, Thanks

Review this tv show
Feb 22, 2014Despite its clearly bogus chain of events, Dance Moms remains a thoroughly and surprisingly enslaving look into the life of a scary dance teacher, the impressionable dance kids, and their pushy mothers. If it wasn't for the delightful antics of the mothers, this would remain a mediocre documentary with some fat woman screaming at blonde girls.
Jan 31, 2013I love this show. Every episode is packed full of dance mom drama which can be stressful at times but its all worth it in the end when you get to watch the girls dance. They truly are incredible and the show showcases their talent while also keeping viewers involved in drama created by their mothers.
Mar 11, 2012This show is depicting the people I always think about when I ask myself why is the world such a mess. If you want to feel depressed then watch this show, and pity the children in it, then go and give your own father and mother a giant hug and bless them for NOT BEING LIKE THE FREAKS ON THIS SHOW!
Feb 18, 2012I love this show!!!!! Yes Abby is critical but these are very spoiled little girls with even more spoiled Mothers and when these kids get out in the real world they will thank Abby for all the strict discipline!!!
Jan 15, 2012All the dance moms need to remove all their talented kids from Abby because she's a nightmare instructor who doesnt deserve those kids. All the moms need to start their own dance company for their kids..
Oct 7, 2011Horrible people are what makes reality programming memorable and that's what sets Dance Moms apart. The little girls mother's are horrible. Little star Maddie is rotten, but the very worst of all is Abby Lee Miller, the star of the show and the major domo of the allegedly world-famous Abby Lee Miller Dance Studio, a small cinder block building in a suburb of Pittsburgh.
Abby is hysterical in every sense of the word. She is a dead-ringer for Divine as Edith Turnblad in the original Hairspray movie. Abby is so over the top that one wonders if this is a Christopher Guest - "Wating for Guffman" type satire rather than supposed reality. Episodes are loaded with "Waiting for Guffman" type moments as we meet an variety of third-rate show business detritus presented as "one of the biggest talent scouts on Broadway", etc..
The little girl dancers are generally innocent victims of their attention starved mothers - who should know better - and the tyrannical Abby. The one exception is little angelic star Maddie who is easy to detest.
The show has turned into a suprise hit and has been renewed for a second season. I'm wondering is someone from Alleghany County Child Protective Services should intervene.services is… Expand
Sep 9, 2011Three caveats, I'm a dude, I almost never watch reality programming, and I don't have kids. So why the heck would I spend 47 minutes of my life watching this? Originally it was morbid curiosity. I wanted to see the train wrecks. The Toddlers and Tiaras show sounded too far outside my comfort zone, but I thought since these girls ostensibly learned an actual craft, it would be a stomach-able compromise. I also think athletics and team sports are valuable experiences for young people, so I climbed down off my high horse and tuned in.
Hey, kids are kids, that never changes, and this show is not about the kids. It's about American culture, women's gender roles and how damaging stereotypes are handed down from mother to daughter in the form of destructive personality disorders. The mother's are the stars.
I try to critique media within the confines of it's genre and or sub-genre. I look at what's successful in that medium and try to make comparisons regarding professional competency as well as what might move the medium forward (the purpose of art, no?). You can't do any of that with this. It's pure sugar and salt, utterly nutritionless. A young girl couldn't even watch this for the value of the competitive routines because the performance in quick edits before going back to the reaction of the mom's. But that's pretty much what I expected, so what's my verdict?
It's not a guilty pleasure. A rich dessert is a guilty pleasure, this is corn nuts, pop rocks, and mountain dew. The Dance teacher is competent, the kids are cute and driven, but none of that is appreciated. I would like to know more about the girls and their individual motivations and struggles. But the 'reality' is that wouldn't get ratings. It's disposable pap, the train wreck I tuned in to see and complain about. And if that's it's value to the medium, then I'll just get back up on my high horse and ride to a pasture with fewer gopher holes and cow patties.
Rated 4 out of sympathy for the kids who might know how to use google.… Expand
Sep 5, 2011I Love this show. If you can get over the strong, confident Abby, this is the show for you. I little bit of everything. Trust Me you will enjoy yourself.
The new worst show on television debuted Wednesday night on Lifetime--Dance Moms, an ugly docu-circus featuring a megaton bully of a Pittsburgh dance instructor, the little princesses she costumes as lunatic street whores, and a quorum of strenuously pathetic stage mothers, one of whom warbles that she would slit her wrists if her daughter even thought of trying out for softball.
Jul 13, 2011I love a show about crazy stage moms, and at moments this one doesn't disappoint.
Once you get past the reality-TV grabbers, you realize that while there is some of that, more importantly there's a lot of Miller. It is great to watch her work.

Hello. I welcome Karen Simpson, head of the inland fisheries group in the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL); Liam Devlin, the deputy principal of the inland fisheries group; and Marcus McAuley. Thank you very much for coming this morning. I ask you to make your opening statement.
Thank you, Madam Chairman. I am Karen Simpson, head of DCAL's fisheries branch. Marcus McAuley is the Department's chief fisheries officer, and Liam Devlin heads the group in the branch responsible for legislation and finance. Liam and I will cover the two new statutory rules that the Department proposes to introduce under the powers conferred by the Fisheries Act (Northern Ireland) 1966. I hope to explain the background and purpose of the regulations, after which we will be happy to take any questions that you may have.
The first of the two regulations is the Eel Fishing (Amendment) Regulations 2011, which are proposed as a conservation measure to protect the sustainability of eel stocks. The 2010 regulations prohibit the fishing, taking or killing of undersize eels, which are defined as being less than 30 cm in length. That size applies both to brown eels, which are resident eels not yet ready to go to sea to spawn, and the mature silver eels that are ready to go to sea to spawn.
The new regulations will increase the minimum size of brown eels from 30 cm to 40 cm. The European eel stock has been in decline since about 1980. Lough Neagh is the only remaining commercial eel fishery in Europe, and it is strictly regulated under the terms of the Neagh/Bann eel management plan, which was approved by the European Commission in March 2010. The Lough Neagh Fishermen's Co-operative Society, which owns the right to fish for eels in Lough Neagh, has requested an increase in the size of brown eels that can be taken from 30 cm to 40 cm to help to increase the number of silver, mature eels that can escape to their natural spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea.
The proposal has been discussed with scientists from the Agrifood and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) and various other scientific professionals on behalf of DCAL, and they have been supportive of it as a conservation measure. We have also presented our proposal to members of our advisory salmon and inland fisheries forum, who are also content with it.
The second regulations are the Fisheries (Amendment) Regulations 2011, which aim at amending the list of designated rainbow trout waters in schedule 6 to the Fisheries Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003. The annual closed season for game fisheries runs from 1 November to the last day of February of the following year. That does not, however, apply to a designated rainbow trout water, which can stay open the whole year round. DCAL has received applications from private fisheries owners to create two new rainbow trout waters, one at Green Road, Ballyclare and one at Cromore Road, Portstewart. Fisheries officers have inspected the sites and are satisfied that the necessary work to prevent the escape of rainbow trout has been completed to the required standard.
We have also received a request from the Downpatrick and District Angling Association to remove Loughinisland Lake from the list of designated rainbow trout waters. Those applications have been submitted to the advisory salmon and inland fisheries forum.
Thank you very much. What will be the decrease in eel catch resulting from a change from 30 cm to 40 cm? Of those caught that are less than 40 cm, what is the percentage of live returns to Lough Neagh?
It would be difficult to quantify absolutely the reduction in catch because of the change. It is important to stress that, as Karen said, the fishery itself requested the change. Reflecting that, most of the catch that can be marketed is over 40 cm, so eels between 30 cm and 40 cm tended to be wasted because they could not be marketed. It is a conservation measure, but it is also part of the business strategy. You are right: the intention is to catch fewer eels in order to enable more to grow to marketable size and, more important, to let them mature to become silver eels so that they spawn and contribute to the recovery of stock across Europe.
There is no way that the eels are sorted by size when they are caught and collected. They are sorted by size only when they are on the tables, not at the fishery.
Particular hook sizes are used to avoid catching small eels. On your second point about whether a small eel would still be alive if it were caught, there is some risk with smaller hooks, as the eel could be so damaged that it may not survive. Therefore an increase in eel size is matched with an increase in hook size to try to make sure that smaller eels are not injured and can be returned.
I am not just talking about the catching stage but the sorting stage when most of the sizing is done on the sorting table in the fishery. Is that not where most of the sorting by size is done?
Yes, but the intention is that fishermen, knowing that the marketable size is now 40 cm, will return anything smaller. They use a method that, hopefully, ensures that the eels survive.
How many eel fishing permits are there?
Approximately 200; it varies from year to year. We cannot comment on the number of eel fishing permits, as they are issued by the Lough Neagh Fishermen's Co-operative Society. However, the number of eel fishing licences issued by DCAL is in the hundreds.
Is there a market for eels in Northern Ireland or are they exported?
Most are exported to Holland.
I spent a few days in Lough Erne over the summer recess, where I met a fisherman who has fished for 60 years and is a bit disgruntled. I promised him that I would mention at the first opportunity that he thinks that the eel population in Lough Erne is sustainable.
You talked about the use of longlines to catch eels, which is the common practice on the lough. What percentage of eels is caught in the traps at Toome and Portna? There is concern about game fish being caught in those traps, which cover 95% of the river. Do you have a percentage for that? Surely that is an easier place at which to sort the eels by size rather than taking the risk of killing them on longlines.
It is the same eels but two different fisheries. The longlines in the body of the lough catch juvenile brown eels. Some 20 years into their life cycle, they become silver eels, which is when they go down the river and out to sea at Coleraine. It is at that point that the traps intercept the silver eels as they migrate; that is a different exercise. A balance has to be struck, because the more brown eels that are taken, the fewer silver eels there will be.
As a percentage, brown eels are caught in the largest volume. Up to 200 people fish brown eels. The traps are seasonal. The eels migrate only at certain times of the year, starting about now. They are very seasonal. A silver eel fishery is selective of silver eels and, therefore, catches a smaller volume than a brown eel fishery.
You do accept that large game fish are lost in the traps?
Yes, there are conservation measures in the regulations regarding that. A main one, which is known, colloquially if not in the regulations, as the Queen's gap, requires large gaps to be left between the rows of an eel fishery so that other fish can get through. However, as fish stocks come under pressure, those issues become more pertinent. However, salmon smolts can be trapped.
I have visited Portna fishery in my constituency on several occasions at the request of angling associations, and the Queen's gap is not very wide.
Noted. We are actively working on the development of salmon conservation policy and fish passages. The Rivers Agency has its own structures at Portna. You also need to regulate levels to find a balance while allowing free passage. Modifications to rivers and lakes in the Erne system were undertaken in the 1950s and 1960s, but that was a different time; we have to deal with this in the modern context and balance all the needs.
I see that AFBI, which carried out the scientific research for the Department, agreed that any minimum-size increase would be good for stock. I am no fishing expert, but is it right that the smaller size cannot be sold on anyway?
The fishery's position is that its market is for 40 cm and above, so from a business perspective there is little point in catching smaller eels. More important, however, is the need to conserve stocks.
I understand that. Is there much opposition, or is it only from those who are trying to catch them?
It was the fishery that requested it. This is a joined-up approach to conservation and management.
That is very good. I was just wondering whether there was any opposition.
Have you any estimate of the value of eel fisheries to the economy?
Approximately £2 million.
Thank you very much for your presentation. Are members content with the proposed statutory rules?
Members indicated assent.

November 29, 2014
Maryland sophomore center Alex Len has decided to enter the NBA draft.
After an uneven freshman season with the Terrapins, the 7-foot-1 player averaged 11.9 points and 7.8 rebounds in 2012-13. He led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 78 blocked shots.
The Ukraine native is expected to be a top-10 pick in the June 27 draft.
Len says he's "grown a lot over the past two years" and is "looking forward to the next chapter of my life."
Coach Mark Turgeon says he's proud of what Len has accomplished, and the center has "earned" the opportunity to play in the NBA.
Len averaged of 9.7 points and seven rebounds at Maryland. He started 48 games, including 37 this season.

This product leaks. It continues to drip when you remove the pot which it's not supposed to do and, today, half spilled onto my counter even with the pot still there. The coffee it makes is okay.
the coffee was weak, but when whe added more coffee it just tasted bitter. I assume this is because there is no control over how long the coffee is ground. Also, the bean basket is small so that if you should decide that you want to make 12 cups, and add more coffee than recommended, you cannot because the beans will overflow.
Makes good coffee but the instruction manual is not well written and the grinder portion is messy to cleanup. Manual should tell you that all lids and compartments need to be closed before it can be programmed.

this was a replacement for almost the same pot that i had had for 11 years. it had finally started to leak so i needed to replace it. it makes the best hot, hot coffee and is easy to use. i just have one complaint which i had seen on some of the other reviews and that is that the grinder sounds like an airplane taking off! but i actually don't care because it makes the best hottest coffee i have ever had.
Went back to old version to replace 10 year old. Ten years is old for coffee maker, so I got my money's worth back then. Bought the newer burr grinding updated version. It will not feed the beans and the coffee ends up weak. Fed up with burr 'no grind' I went back and bought the same as I had for the 10 years, and I'm back to being happy again. High tech burr grinder will go to charity shop!
I like the fact that this coffeemaker grinds beans, but don't like that it's not set for auto brew. When I forget to push the On/Off button, the grind feature kicks in (usually scaring me!). I will have to re-read the brochure again. Maybe I missed something. . It brews the coffee just fine, though.
We replaced our old Cuisinart after a six year run. I thought it would be great to be able to grind beans for that fresh brewed flavor. However, I didn't realize you have to program the machine each and every time you make a pot of coffee. And while it comes apart easy enough, getting into the nooks and crannies to clean the grounds out is a little tedious. And you HAVE to clean it after each use.
The coffee itself is good, actually, very good. But truthfully, for all the hassles, I don't know that I would buy this product again.
I read all the reviews I could find on this reasonably-priced all-in-one grind fresh beans and make a great cup of coffee rig. For the price it is well worth it. However, cleaning it is a bear! It's not enough to rinse and dry all the various parts (6) each time you use it. There are nicks and crannies you need to work at; especially under the grinder blades. I haven't come up with a suitable way to clean it efficiently!
I bought this to replace our older, bulky coffee maker plus a coffee grinder. The design is slick and modern. We love the look in the kitchen. Makes perfect coffee. We love the fact that it's an all-in-one option. The only real downside is that you have to completely clean the the coffee grinder portion of the unit. Because moisture from the brewing coffee gets into the grinder, there are coffee grounds that are stuck in the container. The grinder itself is a little loud. My husband and I think it sounds like an airplane taking off, but fortunately, it only lasts about 20 seconds. It would also be a benefit if the clock was a little bigger or brighter.
This product was recommended with reservations in the Sept./Oct issue of Cook's Illustrated because the grinder was loud and the water temperature wasn't hot enough long enough.
In the Nov/Dec issue, they recommended that one heat the water to 100º before brewing.....that kinda negates the usefulness of the grinder and programming features.
Yes, the grinder is loud but the it's programmed to start when I
The coffee maker works fine with the exception of the 747 aircraft engine in the grinder. It is unbelievably loud!!! Truly a wakeup call and very disappointing because it is deafening. Our bedroom is upstairs from the kitchen and it's like a machine gun going off when it comes on. The military may be interested in this coffee maker for training purposes.
Also, the coffee pot holds 12 cups but the grinder doesn't hold enough coffee beans for a full 12 cup pot of coffee unless you like weak coffee.
We love our new Cuisinart Coffee Maker. Friends vacationed with us this winter and brought their Cuisinart with them. We couldn't drink our coffee when we returned home...we had to have this coffee maker. I wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't. We definitely recommend this item. Great Deal Best Coffee I have ever had from a home coffee maker.
This is a great product. If I could say one thing not-so-positive about this product would be the instructions. After you have set the coffee maker to be brewed at a certain time of the day and you press the Program button again to turn it on without coffee or water in the coffee maker, it will keep beeping at you forever. I must be the only silly person to have experienced it, but for people considering about buying, here's a tip. But again, the product itself is wonderful. Needless to say, it makes great coffee.

Help Seasoning De Buyer Mineral Fry Pans
So I just received a set of De Buyer Mineral frying pans in the mail today and set out to season them. I followed the instructions in the attached booklet: clean with hot water, heat a cm of oil for 5 minutes, pour off oil, and wipe with a paper towel. Heating the oil produced a ring of yellowish-brown oil-laquer all the way around the pan at the oil line. i.e. where the top of the oil met the pan I got a thick coating of solidified, almost sticky, oil. It reminds me of those yellow-brown goopy oil stains that are so hard to remove from stainless steel. Should this have happened? Should I scour it off and start over, or should I just cook away?
Incidentally, the seasoning and care instructions provided by de buyer differ between the little booklet attached to the handle of the pan and those printed on the inside of the pan sleeve. I followed the booklet, but after I started, I realized that the sleeve called for a potato peel pre-season. Oh well!
The same thing happened to me after I did the potato peels. I have tried the method by de buyer and gotten the same result as you.
I have tried rubbing oil and placing it in a hot oven upside down, I got streaks of the same sort of sticky gold oil. After a few steaks it seemed to work, but tonight I poured some red wine in the pan with my steak and the seasoning scraped off with just a wooden spoon.
My friend told me when she worked in a professional kitchen, they would oil their iron pans, place them in an oven at 500 for hours until they remembered about them. I think I'm going to try this since at this point I've cooked enough that the edges of my pan are black, solidified and nonstick.
As for cleaning, I have been using fine grit wet-dry sandpaper and a little water.
But yeah, I haven't been able to season this pan yet either. I've tried grape seed oil, coconut oil and ghee. Ghee seems to work the best and I'll try that the next time I place it in the oven, this time right side up until it turns black.
re: Rigmaster
I've watched the video, I guess I can try it on low heat. On med-high the oil smokes and I get a ring of sticky brown oil on the sides of my pan with the bottom being perfectly clean and polished.
Edit: It also rusted after about 12 hours. Maybe if I cooked on it 2-3 times a day it would eventually season itself but I cook maybe 2-3 times a week. At that rate, sanding it down is working better than the "official" recommendation.
re: Chemicalkinetics
"The potato skin is more for removing the original coating I believe."
Precisely. I don't think the pan was completely cleaned first.
re: GH1618
A good point. If the original coating is not properly removed, then there will be trouble down the road.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Hello Chemical,
I was trying to look up the old threads about the recurring issues with these DeBuyer mineral pans. So here I've found you again on yet another thread regarding the seasoning of these, particular, pans.
I'm now at my wit's end and ready to give up with them. If you would like, please give me your address and I can mail you one (or even both of these pans) so that someone who is a little more "expert" might benefit from them. I appreciate all your help in the past. I've cooked two more eggs within the last week and the black gunpowder stuff is all over the bottom of the eggs again.
No water has touched these pans (only cooking oil --olive-- and butter) since my now endless attempts to remedy this situation. I wipe them down only with paper towels after cooking once they've cooled down. If this is indeed a rust problem, I cannot possibly conceive from where the rust is "being born" given the ZERO contact with water.
Ok, let me know if you want this pan or pans. And thanks again for all your help!
re: Eleni15
Carbon steels can rust from the thought of water vapor. Check out the related discussion "the ultimate way to season cast iron". I basically followed those steps but with coconut oil instead of flaxseed, because it's the most inexpensive oil I have. This is also pretty much what my chef friend told me to do, and as you can see it's not what most people on these boards recommend for these pans. I don't believe it will keep eggs white but its looking like it should.
re: ThaFlash_LA
Thanks Flash. I will check out the related topic you recommend, but I've about all but given up on ever being able to "fix" whatever might be causing this problem with the pan. When I have a little more energy, tomorrow, I'll check out this discussion for any further clues....
re: Eleni15
I am sorry to hear this. I think you said only one of two pans has this black powder problem, or was it two now? My email address is currently in my profile. If you click on my name, then you will find it under "Location". Please email me, and I will give you my mailing address. I will love to take a look, and if I think I can solve this problem (if it is a problem), then I will send the pan back to you. Thanks.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks Chemical,
As soon as I'm able to get back to the computer tomorrow afternoon, I will find your email address and email you a couple of photos as well, which I was able to snap just the other day... Hopefully it will give you a much better idea of what is going on over here with this pan. We can then discuss my mailing it to you. I appreciate your help so much!!! Talk soon!
re: Eleni15
Every attempt at "fixing" yielded poor results for me which is why I would sand down and start over. Here's the link:
I followed the principles but using coconut oil and even though I haven't used the pan yet it's still rust free.
re: Eleni15
I wouldn't just wipe them down, b/c that could still leave water (from the food) in the pan. At a minimum, wipe them then heat to high on the stove to burn off all liquid.
What I do for these pans, is wash without soap. Then dry on stove with high heat. Then wipe with beg oil all over, while still on high heat. Then keep on high heat for a few more mins. then turn off heat and wipe away any excess oil. Cool, then put away.
I noticed that a fish smell carried over from a recent use. So I tried this on a post second fish attempt: I filled the pan as best I could with water, then boiled it for quite some time. Then rinsed and heated and oiled, per above.
I'd love suggestions on if I'm right and / or how to improve!
I was aware of the greasy coating before I started so I used detergent with VERY hot water, and every bit of it came off. I had nice shiny bare metal with no residue to start. I had no idea the potato peels were for removing that stuff--I thought maybe they helped the oil season the pan.
Anyway, while reading through the CH archives last night, I read someone's comment that vegetable based oils have a tendency to do this (I used canola oil) and lard or other non-veggie oils didn't. So, I scoured away the sticky residue, as best I could, with course salt and a sponge, applied a liberal coating of warm bacon grease (I pour off my bacon grease and keep it in the freezer so I always have some on hand), wiped the pans dry with paper towels, and put them away.
This morning I fried up a bunch of over-easy eggs for the family and with just a little butter, they slid right out the side of the pan with no sticking whatsoever. After cooking, I just wiped it out with a dry paper towel and put it away. So, I think I'll just keep cooking in them and let the seasoning come.
Re TheFlash_LA: I am new to Carbon Steel, but I've used Cast Iron for a while, and I wonder if your cleaning method is the issue. Wouldn't the sandpaper remove all seasoning after each use? What I have always done with CI, and will try with CS is, if there is no burned on residue, I just wipe with a towel and put away. If there is burned-on residue, I use a brush, scraper, or hot water and a scraper to remove it, dry and put away. I only add an oil wipe if I've had to clean the pan with water. And boy, are those pans ever 'non-stick!'
re: jljohn
That's a good observation. Canola is not the best thing to use first, it seems.
re: jljohn
That's kind of the point. I haven't been able to get any sort of "seasoned" affect so I sand it down to start over.
When I first got the pan I followed the directions exactly and got the result you described. So I sanded it down, washed with detergent and started over. Each time I try to season it, I end up with a poor result so I sand it down and start over. One time I had what looked like a hard, black seasoning when cooking a steak. That came right off with a wood spoon as I was scraping up the fond.
I've used cast iron and stainless quite a bit, I have a lot of carbon steel knives which doesn't apply here. The more I cook the more I realize I should just slowly take more and more of my mom's All Clad set, she won't notice. The CI is good for searing, non-stick for eggs (omelettes since I don't like the taste of eggs much) and stainless for the rest.
I've never had a problem with food sticking on my CS pan, even on a raw pan. I just can't get anything remotely close to a "seasoning".
I've tried the De Buyer method.
I've tried rubbing oil on it with a cloth and placing it upside down in a moderately hot oven.
I've tried the same in a really hot oven.
I've tried rubbing it with oil and placing it on the stove on high heat.
I've tried grape seed oil, coconut oil, ghee, duck fat and pork fat.
I have a few more attempts. I'm going to try the oven method with the pan right side up, if that doesn't work I'll just polish it and work to keep the polish, and if that gets frustrating I'll just blue it. I may have spent enough on gas trying to season this to offset the low cost of this pan compared to an All Clad stainless.
re: ThaFlash_LA
I have All Clad and this pan serves another purpose. Its my non-stick pan. Sear to broiler and easy clean. Start over and just use it to cook bacon and breakfast sausage. After use take some of the drippings and rub all over, underside included. Rinse and rub inside with Kosher salt. After about 2 lbs of bacon you should have a rock hard non stick surface. Done.
re: SanityRemoved
I seem to have gotten it going by doing what my friend advised me.
First I sanded down, degreased, washed (with detergent), washed again (with detergent), washed a third time with hot water.
Then I put about a teaspoon of coconut oil on the warm pan, after it liquified I wiped it all over the pan to the point where it looked shiny but I couldn't see quantifiable oil.
Next I popped it in the oven at 450 for 2 hours, this completely burned off the oil.
The pan looks dark, it's spotty but you can't feel the spots with your hand, and it's as slick as it was when I sanded it down.
I'll probably add another layer of seasoning every time I use the oven but this was really way more trouble than it was worth ( I tossed in my older CI pan too while I was at it).
re: ThaFlash_LA
Grr... I messed it up with Grapeseed oil, it has too high of a smoke point and turned into the sticky gold mess. The temp was high enough to start making it solid but not high enough to burn it off. For some reason I decided to keep my bacon grease and continue cooking with grapeseed oil. Not my best evening in the kitchen, but at least I know what it looks like when I get it right and what it looks like when I mess it up.
On the plus side, cooking extra lean ground buffalo was an uneventful experience aside from the amazing crust I got on the burger.
re: ThaFlash_LA
The sticky or gummy residue can easily be removed with a paper towel, Kosher salt and oil on a warm burner. Do the entire interior of the pan then wipe out the salt rinse in hot water. Paper towel dry and finish drying on the warm burner.
The first color of seasoning is that yellow color that resembles old cellophane tape, then it continues to darken with use and additionally deepens with more layers. Yellow, orange, amber, brown and then what appears to be black. If you hold most cast iron and carbon steel in very bright light you will find that it is rarely true black.
The higher smoke point oils will work on the stove top. Very thin layers and wisps of smoke tend to work best. It's a 100% hands on process of frequently wiping the surface with a paper towel that has picked up the excess oil.
re: SanityRemoved
Good to know about removing it with salt, I'll be doing another buffalo burger tonight so it'll be round 2.
Yeah, I should have known better than to use the grapeseed oil at the lower temperature. My main problem with it is that it creates a texture, not so much the color, that texture causes my food to stick. I used the same process that worked so well with coconut oil, but with grapeseed I should have increased the temperature much more.
re: jljohn
It is a bit not uniform, isn't it? Overall, I think you are on the right track.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Yeah, I don't know what caused the lack of uniformity. I've only cooked in it a few times, so maybe it had to do with what was sitting where in the pan. Glad to hear that looks like it's headed in the right direction. Thanks!
re: jljohn
Yep, the color looks right. It is darkening and there is not curd forming. If you ever see any major curd forming, scrap it. Feel free to update us at any time.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks. By curd, do you mean a gooey or sticky buildup?
re: jljohn
Sorry. I am not even sure if the word "crud" is the official description. What I meant is something hard like over-burned carbon build up. It is unlikely that you will have the gooey sticky buildup in regular cooking. It is more likely that you may encounter hard buildup in regular cooking.
re: toyopl
You'll want to season the outside of the pan, too. The handle isn't an issue as it seems to have some sort of silicone-type or clear enamel coating. But the rest of the pan needs seasoning, for sure.
The good news is that the outside only needs seasoning once. After that, cooking should take care of it. After cooking something in oil, I wipe my pans with a paper towel until they look dry l, then I run the towel around the outside of the pan. I wish the inside of my pans looked as good as the outside.
Hi all,
I just bought a deBuyer pan and this video really helped me get it right! Check it out.
re: Nengelha
That Video worked out well, these are the results after 6 coats.
I used Crisco to season my 10" and 12" Mineral B pans and after much use, the seasoning has not held up at all. I'm going to start over wtih a scotch brite pad, some oven cleaner, and I just ordered some flaxseed oil to try that method. About how long do you let the flaxseed oil smoke? Do you just get it to the smoke point and then shut it down and let it cool?
re: toddrhodes
I let mine smoke to the point where it appears that the oil has evaporated
