Product description
Shackletons Forgotten Expedition is the story of Ernest Shackletons epic journey toward the South Pole. Lacking funds and plagued by hunger, cruel weather, and unpredictable terrain, Shackleton and his party accomplished some of the most remarkable feats in the history of exploration. Not only were members of the expedition the first to climb the active volcano Mount Erebus and the first to reach the South Magnetic Pole, but Shackleton himself led a party of four that trudged hundreds of miles across uncharted wastelands and up to the terrible Antarctic Plateau to plant the Union Jack only ninety-seven miles from the South Pole itself. Based on extensive research and first-hand accounts Riffenburgh makes the expedition vivid while providing fascinating insight into the age of British exploration and Empire.

Seriously Now -- Which countertop appliances do you leave out on your counter? I have a coffee pot, can opener, and my mixer on the counter. Anything else and I have no room. |
It is by far a superior energy drink compared to those energy drinks out there. I drink it occasionally for a boost of energy. The major downfall of this delicious drink, a natural diuretic. So don't drink too many! |
Enough with this "presentation" silliness Perfect...yum! |
Enough with this "presentation" silliness Ah, glad to see I'm not the only one who finds this ridiculous. If I pay $25 for a plate, I want to see your expertise in the flavor not the presentation. Not saying that I would accept a gray pile of slop but I don't need shavings, and curls, and 3 sauces, and fruit bits I've never seen before along with some name no one can pronounce. That said, give me some good old fashioned mashed potatoes and fried chicken with a new kick and I'm sold as long as it's more edible than it is pretty! |
Only Tools Don't Tip on Takeout, and Other Rules of Gratuity You Should Know I'm sorry...if you offer takeout it's not a disruption. It's part of the business. I tip on quality and service. I have left what the waiter deserves, the bartender deserves, and if it's a serious problem, I will leave some with the manager. I am a complainer if I'm not satisfied. I go to be served and it needs to be done well. If I wanted to ask for my water, my napkins, my food, my drinks, etc. I would just stay home since I'm already doing it all myself. I'm not going out to fatten the pocketbook of some lazy rude waiter. Treat me well and I will reward you. |
Like 20 |

Is it icy or creamy? My husband is always looking for a good coconut ice cream. |
Rude guests bringing wine - should I have served it? Touche! |
Rude guests bringing wine - should I have served it? And how so had you been invited to her house and brought your lovely reds and she served you only her Mateus because she likes it? Would you have been offended had she not served your wine which you brought because you not only enjoyed it and wanted to share a gift with your host? One should consider the other side before being offended. I don't like reds at all. I like sweeter wines so I bring what I like and I really don't care whether it "goes" with anything or not. I drink wine because it is comforting to me and is my preferred alcoholic beverage. I find it bad manners to serve what you want, not what your guests want. I would walk out of a restaurant if they served me what they wanted rather than what I ordered. Gasp...bad manners. |
I never eat _______ out because nobody makes it right but me. Blackened salmon. Chicken tortilla soup. Cookies. |
Rhubarb-Braised Chicken Thighs How is this rhubarb braised if you only add the rhubarb at the end? Hmm, I think that adding a rhubarb compote of some sort to top the chicken might serve the same purpose. |
Is This Really a "Lobster Dinner"? Ahh, we just ate lobster/gruyere raviolis from costco. I made my own alfredo and they were very delicious. The lobster was sweet. There were chunks as well as minced and they were stuffed. Definately worth it in my opinion. |
Racist Typo in Cookbook a Costly Mistake I think the problem here is that people are bored |
FYI - 1 pound of rhubarb = 3 cups cut fresh |
Another use for my rhubarb! Yay! And I just learned how to make homemade greek yogurt so this is twice the excitement! |
Chocolate Company Seeking Beta Tasters I am a chocoholic on every level. And I do pay good money for good chocolate. But I won't pay for someone to test out...that's silly. Hand it over for free people. |
Broccoli & Velveeta Ritz Casserole #4 |
Processed-Cheese Craving Killer You can't beat "real" cheese and crackers with this stuff! Give me a slice of baguette with a little olive oil and rubbed with garlic and warmed with a little gorgonzola! |
I hate my All-Clad - what am I doing wrong? LOL! |
Oh ick! Its just wrong. |
How Bacon Can Make Any Dish Suck I agree with the overuse of bacon on everything and also with the egg on top of everything too. Bacons good but use in moderation! |
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It ... TIME TO PANIC! LOL...I live in the northwest and we are used to lots of snow. That said, we have had a real riot listening to the terms, snowmaggedon and crippling, etc. 2 feet of snow paralyzes D.C. while 2 feet of snow here means maybe snow closures...maybe. It also signifies lots of hot chocolate mustaches and lots of stews and soup. |
I am doing a taco bar setup in the living room over warmer plates. They can come and go and eat tacos, taco salad, nachos, whatever combo they want and it will be set up right in the same room so no one misses a thing. I will set it up ahead of time so I won't spend all my time in a kitchen. |
What Did/Does Your Dad Cook Best? He could actually take several days leftovers and make them work into something really tasty |
What did your Mom always have on hand, that you NEVER do? Spices I've never heard of but never have for that 1 recipe |
what is the thing(s) you always splurge on Good olive oil. If you are lucky enough to live by a Oil and Vinegar even better. |
What was the worst food you HAD to eat as a kid? My aunt had her own farm and made spaghetti one night which was my absolute favorite food on the planet. Well she didn't have any beef in the house so she "improvised" and used liver instead. Because they were poor, and we were guests visiting, we were forced to eat it. We still talk about how disgusting it was to this day and my mother has apologized for making us eat something so revolting. |
Why are my chocolate chip cookies so flat? I had the same problem so I started experimenting. It had nothing to do with cooling the dough. It was the butter. I only use Walmarts butter for them and they turn out perfect everytime. |
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good Mac n Cheese with ketchup on it and I don't even like ketchup. |

Moneyshot clearing out at the Bottom Mark - Pied Piper Inter Galactics!!!
Ten Piedys motored out Saturday morning looking forward to a great days racing as conditions were warm and sunny, the only thing missing was the breeze. The forecast for the breeze to gradually increase in the afternoon never eventuated so Race Management had no option but to call it a day and try again tomorrow.
Sunday morning and the wind had arrived, five races were scheduled in what began as a cool north easterly breeze of 10 knots, perfect for the Piedys to strut their stuff!
Rat Catcher making it 5 from 5 - Pied Piper Inter Galactics!!!
Race 2 and the breeze was still 10 knots with the occasional squirt of a few knots more, once again another frantic start ensued with Moneyshot pushing the Rat Catcher hard, both Piedys were coming down the first downwind neck to neck when Rat Catcher lost their spinnaker halyard, Moneyshot pounced to lead at the bottom mark, but not before Tom Kearney free climbed the rig to retrieve the halyard and re-hoist the kite before it cost them to much ground. This time it was Moneyshot leading at the top mark, rounding a few boat lengths ahead to be hauled in by Rat Catcher as it sailed to the pin end of the line as Moneyshot continued for the boat end. It was a nail biter of a finish with Rat Catcher surging ahead on the line to take their second bullet of the day by 2 seconds and Rat Attack rounding out the top three.
Race 3 and the breeze was now a solid 13-15 knots, all the Piedys were still on their Number 1 headsails and hiking hard off the start, Moneyshot had won the boat end of the start line and held a good lead around the course with Rat Catcher chasing hard rounding the final top mark a few boat lengths back. It was another photo finish as Rat Catcher and Moneyshot converged on the finish line with Rat Catcher etching out a 3 second margin and her third consecutive gun! The racing was hair standing on the back of your neck stuff as all crews were feeling the intensity of the level of concentration that was going into the trimming of sails and helming of New Zealand's favourite wooden keel boat fleet!
Ant Crossan accepting the trophey at prizegiving - Pied Piper Inter Galactics!!!
Jim Beam pounced and snatched the lead at the bottom mark with Rat Attack and Rat Catcher following in close behind. Rat Catcher continued to dominate hauling in Jim Beam and Rat Attack to take their fourth consecutive gun of the day and barring any sort of disaster in the final race, the championship! The results in the fourth race really tightened things up for second,3rd and fourth as only a few points separated Rat Attack, Moneyshot and Jim Beam, so going into the last race there was a lot at stake.
In the fifth and final race of the championship, the wind had built to 16-18 knots and most of the fleet had decided it was time to switch down to the No.2 headsail, one exception was crowd favourite Lewis, Captain of the mighty Moehau as he and his crew exploded off the start line like men possessed!
More bottom mark action - Pied Piper Inter Galactics!!!
Congratulations goes to Team Rat Catcher; Ant Crossan, Tom Kearney, Sarah Tootil and Jacob Balemi for sailing a blackout performance to take all five guns on the day.
Also big thanks goes out to our loyal sponsors of the Piedys, North Sails, Mt Gay Rum, and Burnsco Marine for providing the fabulous prizes that were enjoyed by everyone who stayed around for the dock party on Saturday night and the prize giving on Sunday.
Next on the Piedy calander is the SSANZ Simrad series. Untill then 'Get a Piedy up Ya!'

Sponsor and Child Meet After an 11-Year Correspondence
By: Antonio Barranco López, Compassion Mexico Communications Specialist | Posted: March 01, 2004
After 11 years of faithful support, Ruth Brunner finally meets her sponsored girl, Evelia Escamilla, in person. Evelia was only 5 years old when Ruth began sponsoring her.
Church mission trips to developing countries usually include hard physical work in difficult conditions. Days set aside for sightseeing and shopping are welcome breaks. Recently, Ruth Brunner and her husband participated in a mission's trip to Puebla, Mexico. But when the group got a much-deserved day for sightseeing, the Brunners did something different. They made a trip to the small town of Corralillos, home of Evelia Escamilla, the girl Ruth has sponsored through Compassion for 11 years.
The Brunners were escorted by a Compassion Mexico staff member to the Prince of Peace Student Center, the project Evelia attends. It was the day a local dentist was giving checkups. Although Ruth was happy to meet the project staff and see how sponsorship contributions provide essential services to children in need, she was eager to meet Evelia.
A Surprise Envelope
When Evelia suddenly appeared in the doorway, no introductions were needed. A huge smile lit up her face as she rushed into her sponsor's waiting arms. The joy of their hug radiated to everyone in the room.
Like old friends, Evelia and Ruth walked hand-in-hand to the 16-year-old's home where her mother and grandmother had prepared a special dinner. Afterward, Ruth surprised Evelia by presenting her an envelope. Inside were all the child updates about Evelia that Ruth had received from Compassion through the years. It also contained every letter Evelia had written to her since she was first sponsored at age 5. Evelia laughed at the misspelled words in her early letters and grew teary-eyed at the pictures she had drawn as a young child for her beloved sponsor.
But the surprise wasn't over. Evelia opened a dresser drawer and pulled out the stack of letters, cards and photos that Ruth had sent her. She had saved them all; each a precious reminder that she was loved and cherished not just by Ruth, but by God as well.
A Life of Promise
Over the past 11 years, Ruth has seen Evelia grow from a child into a lovely young teen who is well on her way to becoming a self-sufficient, mature Christian woman. She is succeeding in her high school classes and she has Jesus in her heart. Described by her project staff as a sensitive person, Evelia dreams of someday being a teacher.
But no matter what path Evelia takes, she will always know that she has a champion and best friend in Ruth Brunner. And she will always have special memories of their meeting face-to-face.

The World Wide Web Foundation (also: Web Foundation) is an organization dedicated to the improvement and availability of the World Wide Web. The formation of the organization was announced on September 14, 2008 by Tim Berners-Lee at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.. The organization launched on November 15, 2009.[1] One of its former board members is former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.[2]
The mission of the organization is "to establish the open Web as a global public good and a basic right, ensuring that everyone can access and use it freely".[3] The foundation works in two areas, A free and open Web and Open Democracy, to reach the objectives of the organization.[4]
The organization is not related to the Open Web Foundation.[5]
When announcing the foundation, Berners-Lee discussed a system to label websites for their trustworthiness. According to the BBC he said "there needed to be new systems that would give websites a label for trustworthiness once they had been proved reliable sources."[6] The New Scientist criticized the formation of an organization to tell others what is true or not.[7]

Superstar meat purveyor Pat LaFrieda is working on a book, currently billed on its Amazon page in the leanest possible way as Untitled Cookbook Memoir [Hardcover]. What kind of literary debut can we expect from the guy who took the hamburger-eating world a major step forward with LaFrieda's custom Black Label Blend? Grind on and find out.
There will be "frenching, rolling and tying," apparently, in addition to meat-buying tips (which include "inexpensive and unusual cuts"), and then more advanced home butchering techniques. Pat Jr.'s family narrative will weave through the pages like a larding needle, telling the story of how the company "used passion and hard work to build an unparalleled meat empire."
A rep for publisher Atria says there'll also be "100 gorgeous coffee-table worthy photos of meat," and additional recipes from the kitchen at Raoul's and all-stars like Jimmy Bradley, Josh Capon, and Lidia Bastianich. The publisher is keeping mum for now on whether the book, which comes out May 6, 2014, will also include specs on how to make your own Black Label blend at home.

Today's subject is Cat Superstitions.
You know, there are many superstitions involving cats that have been around for centuries. Which is amazing, considering that some cultures like the ancient Egyptians, held cats in high esteem and went as far as making laws to protect the felines from harm and death.
According to one Irish superstition, if a black cat crosses your path in moonlight then there will be death in an epidemic.
In Britain, the wives of fisherman believe that their husbands will return safely if they keep a black cat in the home.
In Normandy, seeing a tortoiseshell cat is an omen for death by accident.
In the English Midlands, it is thought to be good luck if a bride receives a black as a wedding gift.
The fear of cats, particularly black ones (for some reason the color black is considered evil), began in England during the Middle Ages. Cats are very independent and willful, and they had overpopulated cities during that time. Combined with the witch hunt hysteria that occurred around the same time was what gave cats a bad name. France went as far as burning thousands of cats monthly.
While it is clear that cat superstitions have their fair share of good and bad, cats have had a bad history simply because of human fear. Fear of the unknown and that which they do not understand.

Description: | 26 |
In this essay, the author suggests that worldwide disasters are providing the means for business to accumulate profit. From the Asian tsunami of 2005 that allowed corporations to seize coveted shoreline properties for resort development to the multi-billion dollar no-bid reconstruction contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, from the privatization of public schooling following Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast to the ways that No Child Left Behind sets public schools up to be dismantled and made into investment opportunities--a grotesque pattern is emerging in which business is capitalizing on disaster. Despite the fact that attempts to privatize and commercialize public schools proceed at a startling pace, privatization increasingly appears in a new form that Naomi Klein calls "disaster capitalism" and that David Harvey terms "accumulation by dispossession." The author discusses his belief that the political right is capitalizing on disaster from Chicago's Renaissance 2010 to the federal No Child Left Behind Act, from educational rebuilding in the Gulf Coast of the U.S. to education profiteering in Iraq. The new predatory form of educational privatization aims to dismantle and then commodify particular public schools. This conservative movement threatens the development of public schools as necessary places that foster engaged critical citizenship. At the same time it undermines the public and democratic purposes of public education, it amasses vast profits for few, and even furthers U.S. foreign policy agendas. (Contains 75 notes.)

A new study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine finds that many smokers still find accurate and detailed facts about the dangers of tobacco both new and motivating in terms of their desire to quit. This finding proved to be especially marked among members of groups that are most likely to be smokers today.
Related Articles
"The tobacco industry systematically deceived the public for decades, denying that smoking was dangerous or addictive," explained one of the study's authors James Thrasher, associate professor at the University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health.
Meanwhile cigarette makers were actually designing their products to be more addictive to increase sales. Because of their deceitfulness, a landmark court ruling in 2006 stated that the industry had to provide "corrective statements" about their past deceptions on five topics: health effects of smoking for smokers; health effects of secondhand smoke for nonsmokers; cigarette and nicotine addictiveness; industry design of cigarettes to increase addiction; and the lack of relative safety of low-tar and light cigarettes.
For nearly a decade, though, implementation of this ruling has been delayed while the industry has fought back in the courts. During this delay, tobacco marketing continues to make tobacco use seem like a "normal, important part of everyday behavior," the authors wrote.
"Our study found that many smokers are still unaware of tobacco industry lies," said Thrasher. He added that smokers indicate that receiving factual, corrective information about the dangers of smoking motivates them to quit; also that members of groups that are highly targeted by the tobacco industry were especially responsive to the corrective statements. These groups include women, African Americans, Latinos and lower-income people. "This study suggests that the longer we wait to give smokers this information about the tobacco industry's lies, the more smokers will continue to consume tobacco" noted Thrasher.
1,404 smokers ranging in age from18 to 64 years old and of diverse ethnic, gender and income groups were presented with the corrective statements. Between one half and one third of the study participants stated that some information in the corrective statements was novel to them. Those who experienced novelty were likelier to express anger at the industry, to find the message(s) relevant and to feel motivated to quit by the message(s). Novelty ratings ran consistently higher among African Americans and Latinos than among non-Hispanic whites.
Should corrective statements one day be "widely disseminated and highly visible, they will serve a key public education function," says Andrea Villanti, Ph.D., MPH, associate director for regulatory science and policy at the American Legacy Foundation. By correcting previous lies, she says, they "may have a role in preventing youth from initiating smoking and increasing cessation among adults."

Here's what Spotify's newest discovery tool means for bands
Posted on 07/12/12Buy Metallica CDs at Storming The Base (worldwide shipping!)
Today the Swedish streaming service Spotify held an event in New York (and London) to unveil some new developments for the company. As we hinted already yesterday via Twitter, today's event was all about the launch of a discovery platform, complete with the ability to follow influencers and artists.
The development goes hand in hand with the ability for musicians to passively push music directly to their fans, just by releasing new material. When new music from artists followed hits Spotify, users receive a mobile alert. And this is very important. People who have been using Shazam are already used to getting alerts when a new iTunes release was there, but, with Spotify it will be a spotless experience. Something tells us that we'll see the rebirth of the single thanks to this 'push notification'.
Along with the music 'Follow' feature, Spotify also launched 'Instant Preview' which gives you a one-click way to sample an artist you see on the service, and 'Collection' to help you organize the music you dig.
20 million users - 5 million paying subscribers
The new 'Follow', 'Discover', and 'Collection' tabs will be pushed to the desktop app over the next few week, and will arrive on mobile and the new browser version of the service in a cross-platform upgrade next year. It shows that Spotify is working on its own 'music graph'. For users this will mean that there is finally a more easy way to discover new bands (with Spotify adding 10,000 to 20,000 new songs each day, there are a lot of artists fighting for your attention). For bands it will mean that they will be able to more easily stay in touch with people on the service, simply by being there, releasing new music (and creating playlists).
In the margin Spotify also announced it now has 20 million users overall, with 5 million of them paying monthly fees to do it (1 million of them are in the U.S. alone). Nice figures for a services that until recently was written off by tech blogs, artists and certain labels. It also coincides with the figures Side-Line was allowed to look into from various scene labels, who now see a steadily increasing income from the streaming service.
Daniel Ek, the CEO and co-founder: "We've paid out over half a billion dollars. In the last nine months, that rate doubled. We're growing in a way that benefits the whole system." Our data shows that Spotify will overtake Amazon MP3 in revenue by early next year if it continues this growth.
"It turned into a street fight"
Another band that finally seems to have realized that the service is revolutionary is Metallica. The band's Lars Ulrich came on stage at Spotify's press event together with Sean Parker (ex-Facebook, ex-Napster) to tell the world that his band is embracing streaming and that all of its music is now available on Spotify. Lars famously raged against Napster and helped get it sued out of existence. But now he's on stage with Napster founder Sean Parker and they seem to have worked it out. Lars: "We were never against Napster, we just wanted to control things more. The control option had been taking away from us and from there on it turned into a street fight. You wanna fuck with us? Well, we're gonna fuck with you!"
Lars concluded that Spotify lets you share the music you discover with your friends, and "by doing so we know the music industry will get back to where it used to be." And for those artists and labels that still think Spotify is not worth their attention, Parker and co had this final message: "There is a generation growing up with streaming only."

Things to consider when buying a camera
Action cams
Action cams are perfect for living life on the edge. They typically feature waterproofing and shock proofing and can be mounted to optional accessories such as chest harnesses and head straps to capture footage from any angle.
Dash cams
These in-car digital camcorders are designed to be mounted on the windscreen and record footage whilst you drive. They are becoming more popular to capture supporting evidence in the event of an accident (check your insurance provider for details).
Sound quality
Camcorders feature larger, higher-quality built-in microphones than mobile phones or compact cameras, making them a better choice for real video recording.
Optical zoom
This determines how close you can zoom in on an object without decreasing image quality. Zoom is measured in multiples - for example, 10x optical zoom allows you to zoom in ten times closer to your subject. Loof for image stabilisation to reduce blur at high zoom levels.
Image stabilisation
Selected camcorders feature image stabilisation which reduces blurring on videos, by keeping the sensor still even if your body is moving. This is especially important to look for if you shoot videos at night or use a long zoom.
Some camcorders feature a built-in projector, which will allow you to share your footage with friends and family by projecting it onto a flat, light coloured surface.
Selected camcorders feature built-in WiFi, which enables you to share your movies wirelessly with a smartphone or tablet. It's a great way to quickly show people where you've been and what you've done.
Video Blogging
Certain camcorders are optimised for video blogging. These enable you to film with a wide angle of view, have a built-in stand and also offer a vari-angle screen so that you can shoot video blogs easily and creatively by yourself.

Gaming on a Mac is generally a bad idea and you're far better off getting yourself an equivalent PC for half the price. I just have to put that out there.But if you absolutely must, Runescape and Second Life are free-to-play (after a fashion) and not terrible as far as I know. League of Legends isn't quite an MMO, actually it's an MOBA, but it's still a very popular free-to-play online game.

Osceola County
Lake Tohopekaliga, known to the locals as Lake Toho, is an 18,810-acre lake located southeast of the city of Kissimmee. The lake's Commission-made fish attractors are especially popular fishing areas.
For more information on Lake Toho or the fish camps in the area, please contact the Kissimmee Fisheries office at 407-846-5191.
Fishhound also offers a fishing forecast for Lake Toho .
Largemouth bass anglers should direct their efforts in and around Goblets Cove, South Steer Beach, Lanier and Brown's points, Little Grassy Island and offshore vegetative communities near the Kissimmee lakefront. Both live and artificial bait should be very effective utilized within these areas. Golden shiners will be the live bait of choice by many anglers, although spinnerbaits (white or white/chartreuse skirted), lip-less crankbaits (chrome colored) and plastic worms (Watermelon seed, Black Grape, Black/Blue and Junebug colored) will account for a fair share of the catches. Anglers should also be on the lookout for largemouth bass "schooling" activity in open water, where using a lip-less crankbait or topwater chugging bait is a proven method for success.
Anglers targeting shellcracker or bluegill should try and make room in their schedules to include time on the water during the full moon phases of this reporting period. Spawning activity by these popular fish species should be well under way during these months. While many anglers have their favorite "spots" for catching these fish, one may find the telltale signs of bedding activity (small, six- to eight-inch depressions grouped together) in vegetated areas (lily-pads, grasses, hydrilla and bulrush) associated with sandy bottoms. Both North and South Steer Beaches and Brown's Point have produced good results for anglers in the past. Live bait (crickets and red wigglers) will be the bait of choice by a majority of the anglers seeking these scrappy fighters, but small, artificial jigs or beetle-spins (white or yellow colored) will also account for some fine stringers of fish.
FWC Facts:Biologists estimate 10,000-14,000 sturgeon live in the Suwannee River. Adult populations in other Gulf Coast rivers range from a few hundred to about 2,000.
