Summer – here in full force and the vegetables are gorgeous. Now and in the next short months before summer's gone is the time to think about Sofrito….why you ask? Because Sofrito, a blend of peppers, onions, tomatoes, and garlic, cooked down to a rich, thick sauce, uses so many of the gorgeous vegetables that are at their peak in the summer. Think of it as a concentration of summer's flavor – and it keeps in the freezer amazingly well for months.
Sofrito is the backbone of a wealth of classic dishes from a number of cuisines, but a bit added to all kinds of foods can go a long way to adding a bit of vibrancy and depth of flavor. If you have Sofrito, portioned in Ziploc bags in your freezer, you have summer's bounty preserved and the ultimate convenience item to flavor your everyday cooking – it's every bit as good in a meatloaf as it is in Paella! It's a wonderful "Spanish" sauce in an omelette, its fantastic in a Mexican rice dish, it's a condiment – its uses are nearly endless. Making something that needs tomato paste? Try a little Sofrito instead.
A lot of us think of Sofrito in conjunction with Latin American cuisines, but Sofrito is used also in Spanish, Mexican, Dominican, Columbian, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Carribean, Cuban, Columbian and Haitain cooking – and I'm sure they're others. And guess what? They are all slightly different depending on what's available in the region and where the influences came from. (Some are even uncooked – bonus for you if that's the kind of Sofrito you want to make!)
I'm going to talk about a basic cooked Sofrito, using what I have available in my area. Now, a purist might say, "Oh, a REAL Sofrito uses this kind of pepper, or this kind of whatever, or always has this or never has that." "No one from such and such a place would make a Sofrito like that." And I'm not saying that's wrong – there may be certain dishes that you'll want to make with a Sofrito that's tailored to the area and the particular dish. There are always times you want to replicate as best you can the original flavors and ingredients.
I'm just saying, forget about it – someone in Spain decided to add tomatoes and peppers to their Sofrito when they became available from the "New World." Someone in Cuba makes their Sofrito with the items grown their area. Someone from Mexico married someone from Venezuela and their great grand-daughter moved to America – and makes hers differently.
Every country, every region adapts to what we have available, and that's what's best, freshest, and local. And that's what makes for the wonderful variations and flavors in the food we have today. As a matter of fact, I want you to make your Sofrito using what you have and what you like! If you make certain dishes using a certain Sofrito, make that version. Adapt away!
Keep in mind, If you have a basic sofrito portioned in your freezer, you can add all the special little touches and flavors when it's time to prepare your dish. You'll have the basic building blocks for your dish ready in the moment it takes to thaw on the counter or in the microwave. Think of the time you'll save when you want to throw together something after work for dinner on a Tuesday night or the last minute hassle of running to the store avoided when you look in your fridge and think: "There's nothing to eat!"
Basic Sofrito: makes about twelve 1/2 cup portions
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- 2 large Spanish Onions or several smaller onions
- 4 to 6 Peppers of the Green Variety – Bell, Cubanelle, Italian
- 2 to 3 Red Peppers (if you have Ajices Duces in your area, and are thinking about a Mexican Sofrito, you can use 8 to 10 plus one red pepper)
- 1/2 head Garlic – 10 cloves or so
- 8 tomatoes
- 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
- Salt – optional. (You may want to add salt now, if you wish, or wait until you're ready to make your final dish.)
All vegetables should be chopped into about 1/4 inch dice. Use a food processor for this to speed things along – just roughly chunk and process each type individually (that way, you don't have the problem of a softer vegetable turning to puree before a harder vegetable is chopped.)
You can roast and peel your peppers if you'd like to, but that really depends on if you want the smoky flavor in your sofrito. Some dishes rely on it for flavor, and others don't.
In a very large, heavy skillet or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Add the red peppers and cook, stirring often, for a few minutes or until peppers are turning a bit golden. Add garlic and cook until the garlic is cooked through; be careful not to burn. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until the mixture is thick and jammy. (See below)
If my tomatoes are a little weak in flavor, I'll add in the tomato paste just to boost it up a bit.
I often find when I'm cooking this larger amount, the vegetables give off so much liquid I'd be cooking them forever to concentrate them. Here's what I do: I remove the vegetables using a slotted spoon to a colander over a bowl. I then let them drain for about 15 minutes. I then heat up my pan again, very hot, and add in the liquid. When it's cooked down (which takes very little time) I add in the vegetables, a large spoonful or two at a time, stirring now and then until the liquid is nearly gone. I just keep repeating and in a surprisingly short amount of time, ten to 15 minutes, I have a deep, rich, jammy sofrito. If there is liquid left in my bowl, I just make a well in the sofrito in the pan and add it in and let it simmer off. (You can always add a little more liquid when you are ready to use it.)
Let your sofrito cool and portion out into Ziploc bags, 1/2 cup is a good size portion or in ice-cube trays and freeze.
When I portion, I like to label all my bags and open them up first. I then take a half cup measure and scoop out portions on a sheet pan or plate. It's easy then to take a large spoon and drop the sofrito into the Ziploc with very little mess or hassle. Each bag gets shaken down, rolled and sealed. When I'm done, the all go on a sheet tray, flat, and I freeze. After they're all hard, I "gang" them up into a large Ziploc so I'm not searching through my freezer for them.
Sofrito thaws very quickly, and I often add it to dishes frozen. Sometimes, if I just want a little bit, I'll remove it from the Ziploc and chop off the amount I want to use.
I often put a little Sofrito in my Ratatouille, or in any number of soups, stews, bean dishes and casseroles. If a recipe starts out saying to saute onion and bell pepper and has tomatoes in it, I'm already thinking: Sofrito. Each 1/2 cup packet contains approximately 3/4 cup of tomato, 3/4 cup of peppers and 1/3 cup of onion.
Here's one of my favorite dishes that relies upon Sofrito: White Bean Ragout on Toasted Garlic Bread. (As a matter of fact, the instructions actually suggest you make a little extra sofrito – but if you have sofrito on hand already, you can just skip that whole process.)

It's jolly hockey sticks all round as we get ready to welcome back posh reality show Made in Chelsea to E4 in a matter of days. With the fourth series just around the corner, Millie Mackintosh - stunning star of the show and girlfriend of Professor Green - is celebrating by gracing the cover of men's mag FHM. And how does she look? Absolutely incredible.
In the interview alongside the shoot, Millie dishes the dirt on her relationship with UK rap star Professor Green saying, "If you click with someone it doesn't matter where you're from. It's much deeper than that." She goes on to say, "People are so quick to judge. They want to see people as 'like that person' and 'that type of person' and just assume that those two people couldn't possibly be together. It's ridiculous."
Great-great-granddaughter of the creator of Quality Street choccies and former Grazia intern, (have a look at one of the gorgeous outfits she wore to our office here) Millie became a breakout star of the show when she threw a martini in cheating ex-Hugo's face. How's that for girl power? Telly watchers soon became obsessed with her impeccable style - so much so that Grazia Daily raided her wardrobe and the likes of Lipsy and St Tropez snapped her up to star in their campaigns. We bet Hugo's kicking himself now.
To see the full shoot, pick up the latest issue of FHM. Made In Chelsea begins on October 15th on E4.

Woman cleans keyboard... in dishwasher
You've got a desktop keyboard. And it's stained, grimy and filled with crumbs - not to mention the odd short, curly hair that really can't have got there through natural means. What do you do? You put it in the Whirlpool, that's what. At least, that's what Michele - the US' answer to our very own Hardware Widow by the sounds of …
You may think me a madman....
But I heard this trick long ago from some hardware website, and I've been doing it for years. Never bothered to take anything apart or bag the USB connection, though. Just wash them as is, spray them heavily with WD-40 when the wash cycle ends, and then hang them outside from the clothesline. Never had a problem!
Common practice
It has been common practice for years to put things like old dirty circuit boards in the dishwasher as it makes them so much easier to work on when they are clean. I've never heard of any damage being done (dont let the dishwasher do a hot drying cycle though)
I dont see why anyone would spend that ammount of time removing keys and refitting them? cheap usb keyboards cost £2 on ebay.
and this is news because...?
been doing this for years!!!
everyone knows that water only kills the device IF the device is switched on whilst there is electricity flowing through it. If it's dry when you turn it back on.....no problem.
Some drinks like Coke and Coffee just kill keyboards and no amount of furtive mopping up will save it unless you throw in in the nearest dishwasher or bath quickly.
Has the Daily Star taken over El Reg and not told anybody?
Tried and Tested
I've washed many a keyboard and membrane in hot water, the key is letting the components dry thoroughly. This has been useful for laptop keyboards which are usually awfully expensive to replace. Of course, this has usually been after a spillage of some kind, whereby the keyboard is faulty. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to risk a keyboard just because cosmetically it's a bit grimey...
No need to remove the keys
I've run a keyboard through the dishwasher as well. I didn't bother removing the keys, nor bagging the connector (it was PS/2). As long as it's completely dry before plugging it back in, it's just fine. There was some noticable loss in lubrication on the keys; the action wasn't as smooth as it had been originally.
I find that good keyboards are hard to find these days. The older IBM keyboards have just the right feel, but even the newer ones aren't quite right. I've seen/felt some that are great, but they all seem to have the huge Enter key (taking up space on two rows), making the \ in the wrong spot.
Been there, done that
Twenty two years ago, I bought a second hand solar powered Casio scientific calculator from a colleague. It was filthy, ewwwww, so I carefully washed the surface using a soft cloth, over a sink full of hot soapy water, then accidentally dropped it in the sink.
I took it out, rinsed it thoroughly in clean warm water then left it to dry on the radiator overnight. The next morning it was very dry and worked fine. It lives in my briefcase and still works fine.
Clean water will not damage most commercial and industrial electronic equipment, nor will soapy water provided it's not powered up at the time and you rinse all the residue off and let it dry thoroughly before applying power.
Oh, remember to take any batteries out first.
This is new?
Er, haven't people been doing this forever? I work in a school, and every summer I dishwash all the keyboards. We've been doing it for about 12 years now. Never had a single failure, either.
IBM model M owners have been doing this for years... nothing new
I've owned various IBM model M keyboards (yes, THE keyboard) and I've washed several of mine a couple of times. Never mind the odd spillage of coffee/coke , or whatever else, just rinse it off. Leave to dry for 24h and it's good as new!
Why bother taking the keys off?
I've done a few oldish MS keyboards like this. It cleans off the accumulated gunk and crumbs well enough, you just have to shake it out and allow it to dry naturally for a day or so before using it again.
Soap oprta
So, what's new?
The company I worked for back in 1980 used a combination of dishwasher to handle ex-rental keyboards. And I'm pretty sure we didn't need to remove the keytops.
The trick isn't the cleaning, but the drying -- following it with an arklone bath doesn't get them any cleaner, but it immediately dispels all water and ensures it dries quickly and without residue.
I've been doing this for about 10 years now....
But I don't wash the PCB with the keyboard controller on it. Disassemble keyboard, pop off keycaps. Keycaps go into utensil tray.
As long as you don't put these items in the bottom where they are next to the heating element you are OK. It's way faster than manually cleaning up each keycap, and going through the keyboard with alcohol and q-tips, then cleaning up the platic with a cleaner. Plus, the keyboard tends to look like new when you're done.
Not really news
This has been going on for ages. A simple Google search for "wash keyboard dishwasher" returns over 150,000 hits, most of which appear to be instructions for doing the same.
I've never bothered removing the keys before, but I also allow for 2-3 days drying time. Maybe if you remove the keys you don't need to.
That's what sock bags are for!
"Says Michele: 'Just like with socks in the laundry, somehow a couple of our matching keys disappeared in the process. Luckily they were F10 and F11. We never use those anyhow.'"
That's what sock bags are for - at least I don't THINK the keys will fit through the holes...
Even easier..
There is an easier way. Open up the keyboard as described in the article.
Don't remove the keys. Wash the top half of the keyboard in running water with dishwashing detergent, rinse well, leave to dry. Brush out/blow out the crumbs, ashes and hairs from the rest of the board.
Reassemble when dry.
Be warned, if, instead of a "mat" you have individual little dome type switches you are in for a long session of trying to put them all back properly.
I consider this to be routine maintainance.
Sorry, but most Tech's I know have been doing this for years
This is very common to do in IT at least in my area. We often get keyboards completely soaked in soda and pretty much ruined. At that point it doesn't hurt to wash them. Some never recover, but most come out good. I usually don't even go through the extra work of taking the keys off.
Just don't have sanitizing heat on and make sure the keyboard has thoroughly dried before plugging it in.
old news indeed
Been doing this for years. One of the oldest refurb tricks in the book. Just make sure it gets good and dry -- a little canned air will do the trick.
Bonus Tip: squirt all the contacts with brake rotor cleaner. It's the same non-residue stuff as electronic contact cleaner and costs far less at the auto parts store. Do this part outside. Inhaling that stuff is bad for the old neuromuscular responses and your typeing giws all to hrll.
Done that...
A long time ago. This was what i always thought was one of the coolest things about keyboards. Many a times this has saved us from someone spilling soda all down the keys. Brings a whole new meaning to 'sticky keys'.
Someone needs to get out more
As others have noted, this has been a common practice for as long as I've been around electronics (and that goes back to vacuum tube (valve) days. I've seen every thing from dishwashers to the shower used. Also echoing the key point everyone raised: get it dry before powering it up. My preference is to set it in the direct sunlight all day since my part of the world typically runs 85-90F with relative humidity in the low teens. Using the dishwasher drying cycles does create some interesting geometry, though.
too much hassle
y bother with the entire keyb?
pop the keys, put in the knife basket, jobs a good un
just wipe the chasis down....
annother key cleaning trick i often use, is the good old vinegar and water (best with hot water) solution put into a jug, which i put all the keys in, and stir with a fork or whisk (hand not electric) for 5 mins, then give each key a wipe and reinstall
if stirring is too much hassle, use an empty pop bottle, put the lid on and shake about
find i can recondition a keyboard in about 30 mins like that, only use a dish washwasher when i have more than 5 keyboards to process
as for dome style membranes, i find that hooking the top edge then just pushing down the key till it clicks gets them back on fine, dont try to press them straight down like you would a sheet membrane
if any one has an easy way to reattach a space bar let me know.........
my Vaio had a pint of cocoa spilled on it and got left for a month because the original owner couldn't bring herself to tell her boss. it came to me in a very sorry state, somewhat crystalised to say the least. i figured it was dead and probably not going to get any deader so i took the battery, dvd-rom and hdd out. sat it in 3 inches of warm water with some fairy powerspray. gave it a good swoosh and left it to dry.
refitted the components and i use it every day.
it is known as deathbychocolate on my lan.
There are other fluids...
Coffee etc is OK but some fluids write off keyboards because of their acidity!
When this happened where I work, the nurse showed me where the rubber gloves were (I take medium size) and I washed it down in their sluice but uric acid destroys contacts so it was finished...
keyboard washing
I needed a good laugh thanks all of you.(High
squeakie voice I have been doing this for years)
great it's like elreg asked geeks to parody themselves
and they did en mass chorus "just throw it in the dishwasher
" perfect.
Dear Michele,
Thank you for this wonderfull idea.
How should I proceed to clean the keypad of my notebook? Do you think it's wise to remove the Sony battery since it might bring the water to a boiling point which might affect the laquer of the notebook negatively..
Kind regards,
Re: There are other fluids...
Depends on the type of keyboard, with some of the old membrane keyboards used with some terminals coffee just eats through the circuitry. One place I worked for a few months while I college had two incidents of people spilling coffee on their keyboards. The first one called support immediately, and I was able to simply wash it off under the tape, let it dry completely and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately the second one was done on a Friday, and the user decided that since it still worked she wouldn't both calling us. On Monday morning she discovered it no longer worked. By that time no amount of cleaning was going to help it was already dead, and I had to tell her she'd have to tell her line manager to approve a new one... being an old terminal semi-intelligent keyboard they cost a few hundred quid each!
What do you do if you don't have a lar-de-dah fancy pants dish washer? I had to take off every key from my old 8088 IBM and wash it.
By the way the Enter key being on two lines is a feature of all UK keyboards. I can't stand those unfamiliar us keyboards with the / is the wrong place.
For safer cleaning....
Keyboards like other electronics taken for a dunking will work perfectly well if dried out without any power running through them. You'll increase your success rate if you give a final rinse in distilled water, or even better alcohol.
Ugh! Scott!
Scott! How? Why? Do I want to know?
"It has been common practice for years to put things like old dirty circuit boards in the dishwasher "
then how come the pcb in my <B> garden watering controller </B> went titsup when it got sprayed by a hosepipe?
AndyD 8-(#
I've tried this...
I've tried this a couple of times with my Mac keyboard. I left the keys on, but it took about three days for the thing to dry properly.
Does this work for laptops too?
I have been using the same key board for the past 7 years, it's been through loads of coffee, tea, coke and anything else you can think off. it also has more crumbs than my toaster and i havent cleaned it once.
still works fine, washing it is a far way off.
get a life.
Old News
I've never used a dishwasher, but the large Belfast sink in our old film processing lab could take entire Wyse 85 terminal - it needed to when someone had dropped a container of sweet'n'sour chicken (hong-kong style) over it and it's keyboard.
BTW some flavours of sweet'n'sour are worse than Coke for wrecking electronic kit!
AT keyboard
even works on AT keyboard that is 8 years old now ;-)
still working.... bugger that makes me sound old

CHICAGO When General Motors Co. spun off its axle/powertrain business to American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. in 1994, the Detroit-based automaker accounted for 97 to 98 percent of the units sales.
Today, GM accounts for roughly 70 percent of American Axles sales, and that needle will move down to 60 percent this year and to 50 percent by 2015, president and chief executive officer David C. Dauch said at Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc.s 2013 New York Auto Summit. He said his company had diversified by geography, product and customer base.
American Axle, which executed 34 vehicle program launches last year and has 27 scheduled this year, expects revenue to increase to $3.25 billion this year from $2.93 billion in 2012, and reach $4 billion in 2015.
The Detroit-based manufacturer boasts a $1.25-billion backlog of new business through 2015. About 60 percent of American Axles backlog is in North America, with 30 percent in Asia, 7 percent in South America and 3 percent in Europe. "Fifty percent of this backlog is non-GM business, and were quoting over $500 million of business right now, of which 95 percent is non-GM business," Dauch told analysts at the summit.
Newer global customers include Jaguar Land Rover Plc in Britain, Volkswagen AG in Brazil and Daimler AGs Mercedes-Benz unit in China. Opportunities on the European continent are somewhat limited because automakers there have in-house capacity and union workers who make the components American Axle manufactures, but European automakers do want to localize their sourcing abroad, Dauch said.
Arguably the biggest launch for American Axle in North America is GMs K2XX pickup platform, which will replace the GMT900 and make its debut in the Chevrolet Silverado.
"Were very excited about the K2XX. GM has put a lot of investment into (the new platform)," Dauch said. "Were involved on the powertrain side. We have had to upgrade our axle and driveline systems to support the greater horsepower, plus the torque and load-carrying capabilities that go with that."
Production on the K2XX is set to begin during the second quarter, starting with light-duty pickups produced at GMs Fort Wayne, Ind., and Silao, Mexico, assembly plants. "The balance of the launch will happen with the heavy-duty and the utilities later this year, into next year," Dauch said.
American Axle has prepared its supply chain for 1 million units but could flex its capacity higher as needed, Dauch said. "We see success with the K2XX being very beneficial for (the company)."
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.

Movie Info
Liam Lacey(Globe and Mail): Overall, Stalingrad is a odd concoction, part Putin-era patriotic thorax-thumping and part creaky war melodrama, tot~y set in a superbly recreated ruined city.
Steven Rea(Philadelphia Inquirer): Stalingrad is all a~ and operatic, but its message is unmingled enough: War is hell, but moral agony, it makes for good cinema.
Stephen Whitty(Newark Star-Ledger): To signal a flag, sing a song and laud it as the uncomplicated and necessary victory of good over evil is the be in harmony with of easy message only an intelligent propagandist – or a president for life – could absolutely cheer.
Peter Howell(Toronto Star): Stalingrad largely succeeds in sensory stipulations but doesn't fare thus well in dramatic ones.
Nicolas Rapold(New York Times): A film that seeks to memorialize by benumb force.
Robert Abele(Los Angeles Times): Though plenitude of road-tested war truths not far from sacrifice, honor, grit and intimacy finish trotted out, "Stalingrad" is engrossed down a spectacle campaign forged in operatic acuteness and a siege of the senses, and up~ those terms it has its moments.
James Kendrick(Q Network Film Desk): under which circumstances the narrative encourages a sense of philosophical censure about the horrors of war, the pellicle's video-game-inspired appearance constantly puts us at a degree of remoteness by overly aestheticizing the violence with extreme slow motion and bullet time furniture
Jeff Beck(Examiner.com): Stalingrad is a thin skin that is completely lacking in substance, not only on the basic storytelling on a par, but also on the human level.
Todd Jorgenson(Cinemalogue.com): The film isn't as concerned through history as it is with mature combat sequences featuring slow-motion bullets and carnage more befitting a video game.
Kelly Vance(East Bay Express): Sprawling, extremist-violent, carefully plotted, masterfully constructed Russian narrative.
Julian Roman(National Post): Stalingrad embraces technology to acknowledge this bloody tale, but also paints a assuming, nationalistic portrait of the terrible sacrifices made ~ means of civilians and soldiers.
Kristy Puchko(CinemaBlend.com): Its fiction is captivating, punctuated with performances that are persuading and mesmerizing. Its action is shattering and sensational. Stalingrad is spectacular.
Robin Clifford(Reeling Reviews): The technical expertness in making the battle scenes in the same state convincing, for me, is the real draw to see the new "Stalingrad."
Jesse Hassenger(AV Club): Too often does [Bondarchuk] goad his characters to border over with righteous bloodlust-and, contemptuous opposition the occasional obligatory misgiving about the savagism of war, goads the audience to eagerness to possess right along with them.
Bilge Ebiri(Vulture): If you purpose Saving Private Ryan needed to subsist more like 300, then Stalingrad is the movie in spite of you.
James Verniere(Boston Herald): IMAX 3D trial is war as death metal concordance with HD visuals. Pretty spectacular, unruffled if everything else is mediocre.
Tara Brady(Irish Times): The ~tled design and the effects are genuinely powerful, and even the least nuanced scenes are not exclusively of their mushy charms.
David Kaplan(Kaplan vs. Kaplan): "Stalingrad" is surpassingly impressive in IMAX and 3-D, placing us have a tincture in the middle of a arbitrament of the sword-like environment. From that standpoint, the thin skin succeeds.
Chris Bumbray(JoBlo's Movie Emporium): Melodramatic further often visually striking, One of the with most propriety uses of 3D in film as AVATAR.
Glenn Kenny(RogerEbert.com): I'd commend it just for the window it provides into approved entertainment on the other side of the earth.
Harvey S. Karten(Film Journal International): Patriotism, loftiness, and fireworks trump psychological character unravelling, and that's not a vile thing.
Matt Prigge(Metro): Much of it feels like 'Nation's Pride,' the Nazi propaganda pastiche screened during the climax of 'Inglourious Basterds.'

Sup bros, I'm Beholdthesharktopus, a longtime reader/commenter under my real name, Austin Nutter, and today I'm going to tell you about The Ultimate Warrior's upcoming reality show.
Squatting the bar, u mirin?
This video is hilarious for reasons I can't even put into words. The Ultimate Warrior just seems like someone's angry dad who's pissed that his son decided to join a band instead of play football. Apparently this is the trailer for a full-length show called The Warrior Show, which apparently involves, and upon further research found out that it's directed by Ash Avildsen, who is also the CEO of Sumerian Records.
If you had told me a week ago that a show was in the works that would involve The Ultimate Warrior yelling at Danny Warsnop and calling him fat I probably would have thought it was too good to be true. Perhaps this is Ash's and the label's way of saying having a chubby Danny is bad for business?
So do you think this will be an awesome show? Is the entire Sumerian roster going to get jacked as fuq because of this show? Does watching Warrior yell at people ever get old? OH MY GOD I AM SO MOTIVATED RIGHT NOW!

It mainly depends on what you're tanking - in Naxxramas, block was very good as many of the bosses hit fast and light and you could shave off a lot of the incoming damage by being block-capped.
With the release of Ulduar, however, all that went out the window. The bosses there hit slow and huge and blocking 2k of a 25k melee swing just didn't seem that great any more - the shift was to EH and avoidance with a heavy focus on EH.
That hasn't really changed for TotC/TotGC - the bosses still hit hard and heavy. In addition, it's littered with gimmicks such as Anub'arak's freeze which stops your avoidance or block from being possible - it effectively forces you to stack Stamina and Armor because your other stats become meaningless.
As for Hit and Expertise, there's been some discussion here and on Maintankadin about the avoidance values of Expertise for Paladins (short version: it's almost as good as straight avoidance) but I'd still let it come from gear, as I would with Hit. You have two taunts, plus you can use the Glyph if you're really worried and if threat is your goal then you have better options available even beneath the cap.
So yeah, look for pieces with the most EH potential (typically items with bonus armor, most sockets, that kind of thing) and ideally they'll have Dodge or Parry on as well. There are a few nice pieces with Block Value and no Block Rating but they're probably best for a threat set than your MT set (your mileage may vary depending on drops, what you're raiding, etc).

Create your own fish tale at one of area's many fish spots
If baiting hooks and casting lines are your forte, then the Maumee Bay area offers many wonderful access sites for fishing. The outlook for 2009 looks very promising for the anglers who live in and visit area waterways, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife says.
"Over the years, Lake Erie has consistently provided some of the best fishing in the country," said Roger Knight, Lake Erie fisheries program manager at ODNR, "We expect 2009 to be no different."
Excellent fishing opportunities await walleye and yellow perch anglers, as well as those who prefer other species like smallmouth bass, white bass, and steelhead, said Knight.
Lake Erie anglers have great access to fishing in the Western and Central basins due to the numerous public boat ramps, private marinas and shoreline areas. They also benefit from having the largest charter boat industry in the Great Lakes.
Walleye: The daily bag limit is six fish May through February 2010. A 15-inch minimum size limit is in effect during the entire season.
Yellow perch: Perch anglers should encounter fish ranging from seven to 13 inches from the 2007, 2005 and 2003 hatches in this year's fishery. The daily bag limit is 25 yellow perch per angler in the waters west of Huron and 30 perch per angler from Huron eastward to the Pennsylvania border. There is no minimum size limit on yellow perch. Smallmouth bass: Smallmouth bass fishing in 2009 is expected to be fair. Although bass abundance remains below desired levels, those caught should be of excellent size (15 to 22 inches, weighing 2 to 6 pounds). Bass fishing is best in areas with good bottom structure, which is available across much of the entire Ohio near shore area. Beginning June 27, the daily bag limit for bass will remain at five fish, with a 14-inch minimum length limit.
Steelhead: Steelhead anglers should enjoy another year of great fishing in Ohio's Lake Erie tributaries throughout the fall, winter and spring months. Good fishing opportunities will also exist on the open lake when schools of fish can be located. The daily bag limit remains at five fish per person though Aug. 31, and two fish per angler between Sept. 1 and May 15, 2010 with a 12-inch minimum size limit throughout the year.
White Bass: White bass will continue to provide excellent seasonal fishing opportunities in tributaries and the open lake. The catch will be dominated by hatches from 2003 and 2005, which will include many 12- to 15-inch fish. Anglers are also advised of numerous fishing opportunities in the bays and harbors on the Ohio shoreline. The inlets offer excellent fishing for panfish, including crappie and bluegill, as well as largemouth bass.
Anglers are reminded that fishing conditions on Lake Erie can change hourly and adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account such factors as water temperature, cloud cover, water clarity, boat traffic, wave action, structure and the amount of baitfish in the area. Anglers are also reminded to carefully monitor Lake Erie weather and to seek safe harbor before storms approach.
During the season, ODNR provides an updated Lake Erie fishing report online at ohiodnr.com and by calling 1-888-HOOKFISH.
Division of Wildlife staff members are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Call Sandusky at 419-625-8062, for Western Basin information. For information on lodging, charter boat services and local launch ramps, contact one of the following lakeshore visitors bureaus:
Information on the Division of Wildlife's Lake Erie research and management programs, fisheries resources, open lake and steelhead fishing reports, as well as maps and links to other Lake Erie web resources is available on the Internet at http://ohiodnr.com/wildlife.
Public Fishing Access Sites:
Note: Several marinas also provide boat ramps for the public.

On a pleasant day in one of Chicago's suburbs, a deconstruction contractor and his crew remove an original, custom-made window for salvage from a 1923 home.
Demolishing an existing house for a renovation or infill project may be quick and easy, but a lot of those building materials unnecessarily end up in land fills.
The worthy goal of diverting construction materials from the landfill is fraught with obstacles, but recycling opportunities are growing.

I'm not going to draw up a list of terrifyingly expensive equipment that you just HAVE TO HAVE if you don't want to be a bad photographer! What I prize above all else is Knowledge &, in my opinion, only when we have read up on & understood everything photographers that came before us had to deal with – what they felt about photography as a medium of expression, what advancements in the craft their observations have brought about – can we truly master the basics, harness our own potential & move beyond it to heights they'd probably never even imagined.
This was supposed to be a very short (as in one line) post but I've ranted on as usual. So, let me just get down to the point of this particular post. I'm a quote-crazy person &, as such, believe that all knowledge can be summed up in one profound sentence. So, it is quotes from my predecesors that I value the most & take into the field with me everyday. And here's the first one by a man whose talent truly shaped the way the world looked at dreary landscapes.

ITC was wrong: Apple, RIM owe us $1bn for that patent – Kodak
Bankrupt camera firm Kodak is going to appeal a US regulator's decision that neither Apple nor RIM had infringed on one of its patents. Kodak is trying to recover what it claims are lost revenues from illegal use of patent '218, a patent used in previewing digital pictures, which the firm says amounts to around $1bn (£643m). …
"Kodak filed for bankruptcy back in January and sees its patent portfolio as the main way to dig itself out of the red so it can re-build as a printer company, leaving photography behind."
And the rest of the world sees its patent portfolio as a large horde of overly-broad descriptions of obvious things that Kodak can use, through the income from lawsuits, to make up for its recent woeful lack of competitiveness and genuine innovation.
Troll icon because it is sad when companies have to turn into them to survive.
Not all patents are bad
While I hate software patents with a passion reserved only for lawyers and politicians (Although there is more than a passing association with the three!) I have no doubt that many of the patents Kodak own are the result of hard work and genuine innovation. When that is the case, I see no issue with them asserting the rights they have been granted.
If on the other hand they are exploiting a badly worded description of the end result of a process, rather than the process itself, then yes, they're as bad as all the others.
Finance 101
So, if "Kodak filed for bankruptcy back in January" and is trying to sell its patents - how can it afford to pay for expensive lawyers to appeal this decision ? Where is the money coming from ? Creditors, who haven't been paid, must be upset that Lawyers are being paid (unless they are willing to take this on at risk ?)
Re: Finance 101
From first hand experience...there is ALWAYS money to pay the Lawyers (because if there wasn't, it would have already folded).
The company i worked for went under some 10 years ago and I was a Creditor as they had not paid my expenses. The entire business was sold off within the year, but for about 8 years I regularly got a report telling me that they were still sorting out how much was owed and could therefore not tell me how much I was going to get as an unsecured creditor, but they had paid themselves out of what was left for that year. The letters stopped coming so I assume the money had run out.
Love the lawyers
"The validity of the '218 patent has been upheld in previous litigation at the ITC and was affirmed by the US Patent and Trade Office in the face of two separate challenges,"
That would be Samsung and LG, both of who settled before the ITC made a final ruling, the US PTO simply agreed that Kodak had been granted the patent. A patent so obvious that a blind man could see how ridiculous it was. I would explain it but life is just to fucking short and I don't want anyone to cut their wrist in frustration wondering how Kodak got granted the patent.
What exactly is 218 patent?
From the article, I can only imagine it to be some sort of thumbnail.
I'm sure that it can't be that though, because that would be a patent of the bleedin' obvious.
Re: What exactly is 218 patent?
From the abstract and overly complicated description I surmise that they have patented the act of providing a low-res moving preview and a high-res still image capture from a single sensor.
How this was ever passed I will never understand - surely any engineer (software or hardware) would have to think for no more than a minute to figure out that if your image capture sensor has a higher resolution than your preview LCD, then you will be moving fewer bits per second if you reduce the resolution of your sensor in software (by averaging/sampling/etc).
Kodak deserve to disappear into oblivion, which is really a dreadful shame as they were once truly great.
That's it more or less.
There should be an icon to give someone a beer.
Re: Bingo
There is such an icon
Re: What exactly is 218 patent?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. This patent originated in 1994. Read the background section. We tend to forget how quickly techniology has evolved in recent decades, and to undervalue the vision and ingenuity that made this possible.
rebuild as a printer company ?
Bye then Kodak..
Worse than el reg reports...
So, it's not just that the ITC decided Apple & RIM didn't violate Kodak's patent. The ITC found the patent itself is invalid. (I bet those other chumps that paid Kodak to license their invalid patent are kicking themselves now.)
The bad part about this is, for Kodak appealing it's a no-risk operation really. If they win on appeal, they get money from Apple and RIM. If Kodak loses, they've already filed for bankruptcy, so when Apple and RIM rightly go to Kodak to have their legal fees paid, Kodak might not have to pay them dick.
why this case is special
The world is full of patent trolls but whats different is Kodak is trying to short circuit what few sanity checks the legal system has on patents through bankruptcy court. I hope the lawyers eat up so much they never come out of Chapter 11.
I worked for Polaroid in the 1980s...
And it is TOTALLY IRONIC that Kodak attempts to reach FROM THE DEAD to recoup IP violations.
Kodak totally pillaged Polaroid IP on instant cameras in the 1970s. In 1985, Polaroid won the suit, but the damage had already been done. Polaroid was ruined as an imaging-research company by Kodak greed.
Bye bye Kodak!

Hi, I've just bought a 1978 Blue Toyota HiAce. I just wondered if anyone else had one and what they thought about it.
Under powered and as mines coachbuilt and heavy ... very thirsty... worthwhile getting a gas conversion.. Very Hard to get body parts although mechanicals for 12R engine easy to get

hi,just bought a 74,when you open the engine cover, there is a chassis number stamped at the back on the body. don't know if that helps!
The hiace in uk had the same cylinders from early 70s to 79 even the front were drums .. Only very few had front discs..
Should be no problem .. you can even get them on E bay .. Hi lux of same age has the same cylinders.
Or go to toyota get the part number then try the local parts supplier
Anonymous (not verified)
This is related to the engine not the door. You will need a scrap yard or motorhome/caravan breakers. I dont know why they would need your chassis number just the make and model and year should suffice.
