The types of French bread.
Bread may be the most basic of all foods, but, in France choosing bread is also an institution. From my experience the French care more about bread and the types of bread available than any other nation; when you visit France look for an opportunity at breakfast or even better, on a picnic, where you may have the opportunity to try two or more different breads. On that picnic, you should also take along a couple of cheeses, a pate, an enjoyable bottle of wine and then French bread will make its preeminence clear. Bon appetite!
Half way down this post is a lexicon for buying French bread
with all the French you need to know.
Bon appetite
The oldest boulangerie, a bakery, in Paris; it is in Montmartre.

Many French families still buy their bread fresh every morning, and first time visitors to France are often surprised by the number of independent boulangeries, bakeries that still operate in the cities and towns, and even in some villages.
Despite my opening paragraph, a family member who visits France many many times a year has updated me on the changes she that sees in French bread buying customs; more and more French families are choosing to buy their bread in the evening for the next day's breakfast. The lack of a nearby traditional boulangerie may well have created a second best option; that option is a shame, as those who buy their bread the night before may no longer enjoy bread without any additives.
Despite the importance the French give to artisanal bread the independent boulangeries are finding it harder and harder to compete, and so more close every year. An independent baker begins work at four or five in the morning in physically trying conditions; today that does not make for one of the most desirable professions. The successful private bakeries are run by those who simply love baking bread. Two hundred years ago the guild system separated what a boulangerie and a patisserie could sell; today the difference may not be very clear. Enjoy French bread wherever you buy it.

French supermarkets sell mass-produced baguettes and other breads that are made on the spot from frozen dough. The better supermarkets add to their home baked breads a variety of bought-in artisanal breads many made with a wide variety of grains; that brings in the customers who know their bread and will pay extra for the best.
Who makes the best bread?
Excellence in baking bread is an essential requirement for any would-be chef; no chef will receive a full-graduation diploma from any serious French cooking school if his or her bread making does not make the grade. In the better French restaurants, you will be offered three or more different, home-made petite pains, bread rolls; and French diners judge a restaurant's offering of bread rolls with the same discerning eye that they use to assess its other offerings. In many towns restaurant chefs take part, with independent boulangeries, in good natured local bread-making competitions. Some excellent restaurants in France bring in bread, and bread rolls, from famous bakers and promote their links to one of France's Meilleur Boulangers, master bakers; good bread is that important! Many cities have competitions built around baguettes and other breads made in the traditional manner without preservatives. For more on those competitions and how to find the winning bakeries see the post: Searching for the perfect baguette?
I could not include in this post all the breads available, and created in France as that would require a separate book, possibly two. Included in the lexicon are the popular breads seen in most bakeries, supermarkets, hotel breakfast menus, and in restaurants. Excluded, unfortunately, are many enjoyable and compelling types of bread that are typical to limited areas; when you encounter one of these different breads on your travels taste and enjoy. Twenty kilometers away the recipe, shape, and name will have changed.

The names of French breads.
The names of French breads.
Pain a l'Ail – Garlic bread. In France, this may be any bread that is toasted and flavored with garlic.
Pain au Froment - Bread made from 100% wheat flour. Pain au froment with a percentage mark after the name indicates mixed flours. An example may be froment 75%, the other flour used for the remaining 25% will usually be indicated.

Pain aux Noix - Nut bread; made with whole wheat flour and walnuts. Walnuts are France's most highly rated nut. The French name for a walnut is noix, and that word just translates as "nut". All other nuts have unique French names while the walnut is "the nut."

Pain Baguette - The most well-known of French breads. A baguette is what most people mean when they ask for French bread, and a baguette is certainly that. Breakfast in a French home without a baguette is hardly breakfast; croissants are saved for the weekend. For more about croissants click here.
Standard baguettes.

A standard baguette is almost 70 cms long and weighs 250 grams. Most French men and women prefer crispy baguettes, and the language used is the same as that used for a well-done steak, bien cuit, (pronounced bien kwee). Most families use their morning's baguette to make a pain beurrée, sliced bread and butter. Sliced bread and butter may also be called a tartine beurrée; see Pain Beurrée below. Baguettes may be necessary for many French citizens breakfasts, but even supermarket baguettes with preservatives do not keep well, and by evening they will be dry, If possible the Frenc by their baguettes are bought fresh daily. Baguettes are such a prominent part of the French psyche that I have prepared a separate post for those who look for the traditional baguette which contains no preservatives at all. See the post: In Search of the perfect baguette?
The visual difference between a traditional baguette and a mass produced baguette is not easily discerned. However the taste and texture is; search out a boulangerie that make the baguette traditional and experience the difference.
Traditional baguettes. The real thing!

Pain Baguette a l'Ail - Toasted garlic bread; made here with a sliced and toasted baguette.
Pain Bâtard – A bastard; the name used in boulangeries that make their own bread, for any loaf that comes out of the oven in an odd shape.
Pain Beignets – French for a doughnut; however this a breakfast pastry and it is not anything like an American doughnut. American doughnuts are available in France and called a beignet Américain. The pain beignet is usually on French café menus alongside the more traditional pain beurré,that is the mornings's baguette and butter.

Pain Beurrée or Tartine Beurrée – A sliced baguette, or any another French bread; served with butter alongside the morning's café au lait, sometimes toasted. In a French café, this tartine beurrée is often listed on the breakfast menu and then will usually be offered with marmalade or jam on the side. N.B. The word tartine also indicates a sandwich, for example tartine au jambon , a ham sandwich.
See Tartine at the end of this post for more about the use of the word tartine and when it is used for sandwiches.
Pain Bis - Brown bread made with rye flour.
Pain Blanc – Standard white bread. The shapes may be different to those at home, but this is the name for France's standard bread.
Pain Boule or Boule de Pain – A round loaf. Before the baguette became famous, the boule was considered, by visitors to France, the "French bread". Then and now some families still place a large boule on the French breakfast table, and outside the larger cities slices from a boule, rather than a baguette may be on your breakfast table.

Pain Boulot – Another name for pain boule.
Pain Brié- A classic wheat flour bread from Normandy; the bread is made with butter and has no connection to Brie, the cheese. My thanks to Frédéric Bisson for correcting my French spelling on this bread, Inever mastered the French accents, and also for noting the use of butter in the traditional recipe. It is the addition of butter that gives this bread its decidedly different taste.

Pain Brioché – Brioche is bread made with added eggs, butter and a little sugar; the shapes vary with local traditions. Brioché is also often the bread of choice when a recipe calls for bread stuffed with meats or pâté. Toasted brioché is also the bread most often served alongside foie gras.

Despite my introduction, the recipes for brioché vary considerably, and a brioché branded with the name of a particular area will be a local point of pride. Brioché is also the bread considered closest in taste and appearance to one of the breads made for the Jewish Sabbath that is called an egg Challa.

Pain Brioché de Vendée, Label Rouge - A traditional and famous brioché from the département of Vendée in the région of the Pays-de-Loire. The inclusion in the recipe of crème fraîche and orange zest gives it a distinctive taste. This brioché began, historically, as an unusually large brioché, often over five kilos; then it was made at home or in a bakery and served at Easter. Even larger briochés would be and often still are, served at family celebrations. Today this hand-plaited brioche is baked by professionals; the importance of the quality of this brioché is seen in the named and inspected bakeries that have been awarded the right to make this unique brioché. This is the only brioche, and the only bread that I know of, to have been awarded the French Label Rouge, the Red Label, for its consistent and unmatched quality.
Pain Campagrain – Under this name are sold quite a number of different high fiber breads; campagrain breads may use anywhere from two to five grains or more. The grains used include wheat, malted corn, rye, oats, barley, etc.; Some bakers may include sunflower, sesame and flax seeds and they usually name all the grains their bread contains along with the percentages.
Pain Complet - Whole wheat bread.
Pain Croûte à Potage or a Potage son sous Béret - A bread crust used to cover soups, a béret is a beret, the head covering, in English. A bread covering, made to cover your soup or stew, may appear on the menu under various names, not just beret. A soup or stew covered with a bread covering may also surprise you when it appears on your table without any prior advice; this covering is only rarely eaten.
Pain Cramique – A bread similar to the pain brioche, but including raisins.
Pain d'Épice – Gingerbread is more appreciated in France than in any other country; it many of its producers are considered artists. Quite often French gingerbread will be studded with candied fruits; others may be on a menu when served with warm chocolate and or ice cream. Gingerbread will also used to create exceptional window displays and unique birthday cakes. One of the most famous French ginger breads is the Pain d'Épices de Dijon, the gingerbread of Dijon. Dijon may be famous for its mustard, but among the cognoscenti its gingerbread is second to none.

Pain de Campagne or Pain Miche - Country bread. These breads vary a great deal in the recipes and shapes used, and the flour used may be standard wheat flour, a whole wheat flour, or mixed flours. All real pains de campagne are made with a natural leavening, not with added yeast. The taste is milder but still somewhat similar to American sourdough breads.
Pain de Mais - Cornbread
Pain de Mie or Pan Carré - Sliced bread. Sliced bread is not particularly popular in France, except when used for sandwiches or toast. Despite sliced bread's lack of popularity it is sold in all supermarkets, where it is a small part of the bread sales. The same bread is also sold in oblong loaves that you may slice yourself.

Pain de Seigle or Pan Noir - Rye bread.
Pain de Son – A bread made with a bran flour.
Pain Déjeunette – A baguette about one third the length of a full-sized baguette. The name déjeunette implies that it is enough for the petit déjeuner, for breakfast. A déjeunette is often used instead of a baguette to make the traditional French breakfast tartine beurrée. Many sandwiches offered in French cafés and Tabacs will be made with a déjeunette. See Pain Beurrée.
Pain Doré - One of the names for French toast. See Pain Perdu.
Pain Ficelle – This is a long thin loaf that looks like a thinner and shorter baguette. Outside of bakeries and supermarkets the word ficelle translates as string and may be on your menu with other meanings.
Bœuf en Ficelle is beef tied by a string and cooked while it is suspended above boiling broth.
Ficelle Picardie is a crêpe stuffed with mushrooms, ham, and poultry; the finished crêpe is baked in a béchamel sauce with gruyere cheese and served gratinée.
Pain Forgeron – A farmhouse style bread with added sunflower, sesame, and flax seeds.
Fougasse and Fougassette –Traditional breads that originated in the city of Nice and its surrounding villages. The fougasse was originally a crusty bread made of baguette dough brushed with olive oil and flavored with orange zest, that is still the tradition but many fougasse breads have changed beyond recognition. These breads without a change in name now come with a wide variety of recipes, and they have spread all over Provence. Fougasse's origins are claimed by the Italians and they claim it is based on their focaccio breads. In Provence, as elsewhere, no recipe is written in stone and most fougasse breads can have only the most limited connection to their Italian ancestors.

The most popular fougasse breads include black olives and or anchovies and some may include onions. The shape may vary from village to village and restaurant to restaurant.
Pain Grillé or Toast – Toasted bread; toast
Gros Pain - A large bread that will be sold in a variety of shapes and sizes; this bread is traditionally sold by weight.
Pain Maison - Homemade bread.
Pain Nordique – see Pain Polaire.
Pain Parisien – Usually another name for a standard baguette; however the name is also used for breads shaped like a baguette but with different lengths and weights. See: Pain Baguette.
Pain Polaire, Pain Suédois or Pain Nordique - Polar bread, Swedish bread or Nordic bread; this is the traditional a rye flour based flat bread with dimples. In France, this bread is often served with open sandwiches
Pain Perdu - French toast. In French, the translation of pain perdu means lost bread; indicating bread that is generally considered to stale to use. Despite the name, one of the few things you can do with any stale bread is to make French toast. The French version of French toast is bread soaked in milk with added sugar along with vanilla or another flavoring. The bread will then be dipped in eggs and fried in butter until golden brown. Needless to say, pain perdu is a popular at breakfast in private homes and as a light evening snack.
Pain Rassis – Stale bread; the bread that often becomes pain perdu.
Pain sans Levain, Pain Azymes, or Pain Juif – Unleavened bread and also the French name for the traditional Jewish matzo eaten during the Jewish Feast of Passover.
Petit Pains - Bread rolls; there are, of course, different names for each shape and each recipe used for traditional bread rolls, but in a restaurant or supermarket the only name you will need for bread rolls is petite pan.
Pain Tresse – Braided bread; usually a pain brioche.
Tartine - Not the tartine beurrée – Tartine is the French for a sandwich and tartine will be used interchangeably with the English word sandwich; however sandwich, the English word, is used more often. Many tartines are open sandwiches, but that is by no means a fixed rule; the ingredients in or on a tartine vary with the area, the season and the chef.

Tartine Italienne – The French take on the Italian bruschetta. Slices of toasted bread, sometime toasted garlic bread; served with hot or cold cooked vegetables, chicken livers or pâte.
Tartine Beurrée or Pain Beurrée - See Pain Beurre.

It is not easy for everyone to have a high quality recorder or camera in case one should hear or see anything strange. I would certainly not be able to record anything with my old cell phone. But, why would anyone tell about anything if it didn´t happen? What would the gain be in doing so?
The strangest explanation is drilling/constructing storage tunnels - for what? There are so many situations that we had for years and suddenly they give these strange sounds - all over the world?

Forget the price – is the Triumph TR5 one of the best sports cars of the 1960s, bar none?
There's certainly a lot in its favour. It's compact, handsome, and has independent rear suspension for good roadholding. Most important of all, it has a sweet and powerful (150bhp) fuel-injected straight-six engine. That's why concours cars are now nudging Big Healey prices, with £30k being asked – and received – on a regular basis.
Meanwhile its similar but restyled successor, the TR6, commands prices in the mid-teens for really nice examples. The British in particular have always had something of a love affair with this macho, slightly unsophisticated sports car; a relationship that shows no signs of cooling.
Sadly, American customers were never offered the fuel-injected cars and instead made do with the carbureted TR250 version of the TR5 and a similarly weak-spirited TR6. However, the US-spec cars were made in far greater numbers and have at least proved a useful source of rust-free donor shells to restore rotten home-market cars.
Superb parts availability and specialist back-up make the TR5 and TR6 well worth considering, if you put badge snobbery aside.
John Sykes is the amiable and straight-talking boss of TR Bitz, which has specialised in separate chassis TR sports cars for the last 30 years. He's in no doubt that the TR5 is the one to have:
'It's the fastest, rarest, nicest to drive and hence most desirable, and it costs £50k to restore one properly, which is why the best TR5s will always fetch £30k now.
'TR6 values are all over the place but range from £7 or 8k for a usable car to £14-15k for a really nice one, with the mildly detuned 1973-on TR6s worth about two grand less. Colour is important – customers' tastes have matured, so Royal Blue is popular but Magenta hasn't quite made it yet...'
As with any 1960s car, rust is the number one enemy for a TR5 or 6. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to spot in the separate chassis – though you need to look out for poor-quality repairs, too.
Tapering door-to-wing gaps are the obvious giveaway of a sagging or bodged chassis, while rust is most likely to have attacked wing to body tub joints. Check that both sides of the car have its characteristic widening-curve 'fish' shape: many TRs will have been in a prang at some time.
Ironically, while brand new Heritage bodyshells were available a few years ago, they're not widely liked due to early production inaccuracies that saw the rear deck sit an inch higher than the front scuttle – you can't fit a hardtop to a Heritage shell for just that reason. A Heritage-shelled car is therefore worth less than one that's been reshelled using a rust-free body from the USA.
Gearboxes on pre-'73 TRs shared oil with the overdrive, where fitted: damage can mean both or either need replacing at a potential cost of £800 plus fitting. And the correct Laycock clutch covers are almost extinct; AP substitutes give a heavy clutch pedal and knock out the crank thrust washers.
Otherwise mechanical parts aren't troublesome or expensive. When unleaded petrol was introduced in the UK, there was a problem with rubber seals failing in fuel-injection metering units and fuel pumps, but most cars have now received Viton seals and Bosch pumps that cure the problem.
If you want the ultimate Triumph, the TR5 is a no-brainer. It has those pretty Michelotti '60s looks and, says John Sykes, was better made than the TR6: 'The engine was properly balanced and had a cross-drilled crank, whereas the TR6 was slightly cheapened in assembly.'
TR6s offer similar thrills for considerably less money, however. Popular myth has it that the more powerful, pre-'73 cars are much preferable – but, as John Sykes points out, the difference at the rear wheels amounts to no more than 10bhp. Pre-'73 cars (CP chassis prefix) are road tax exempt, but '73-on versions (CR prefix) have a more reliable Laycock J-type overdrive.
Be wary of a temptingly cheap US import. The carbureted engine is less powerful, rear axle ratios were lower to compensate and overdrive was a rarer option. However, if the bodyshell on an import is really good, it might be worth buying as a basis for upgrading the car to UK-spec.
1967 Autumn: TR5 launched with 2.5-litre, Lucas fuel-injected straight six. US-only TR250 has twin Stromberg carbs and go-faster bonnet stripe.
1968 September: TR5 and TR250 end production after 2947 and 8484 cars built respectively.
1968 Autumn: TR6 debuts, with body facelifted front and back by Karmann. Running gear similar to TR5's: US cars again have Stromberg carbs while rest-of world gets Lucas injection.
1972 Autumn: injected TR6 given revised camshaft that drops power from 142 to 125bhp max.
1975 February: injected TR6 ends production after 13,912 made. Cars still being sold months later.
1976 July: final carbureted TR6 made, bringing US total to 77,938.
Engine: 2498cc in-line six, OHV, Lucas fuel injection
Power: 142bhp @ 5750/5000rpm; 125bhp @ 5000rpm '73 on
Torque: 149lb ft @ 3500/3000rpm; 146lb ft @ 3000rpm '73 on

Extended lookup info
So I've customized our helpdesk using a lookup table for schools.
But I want / need to extend past the default 3 fields (id, display value,status) that are visible in the Admin->Lookups screen.
I really want to set this up so that someone can edit the data without getting into the SQL backend, but just through a GUI.
I've successfully added the fields to my lookup table:
workitem_school_lookup: now has the columns
[id], [status], [value], [ordinal], [is_default], [code]
I've been able to make the new field (code) visible to helpdesk using the 'exec sp_addviewdef' procedures,
But I cannot find a way to get the admin -> lookups page to show anything but id, status, and value.
I also would LOVE to be able to put the new field on the Simple Find Incidents screen.

More than $470,000 worth of miracles happened in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties last year.
Thats how much money was raised from multiple events throughout the north country for Childrens Miracle Network of Northern New York at Samaritan Medical Center.
We allocate 100 percent of the funds to the local area, said Morgan OBrien Bocciolatt, CMN development manager. Its exciting to be so successful.
In 2013, the agency received two bequests that brought the final amount closer to the half a million mark, but there also was much support for annual CMN events, such as the radiothon that raised more than $150,000.
The agencys first triathlon raised $18,000.
Some funds raised went toward equipment or services for children in local hospitals and health organizations, but much goes directly to families in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties who contact the local CMN affiliate for assistance with travel or medical expenses for their sick or injured child. Miss Bocciolatt said that in 2013, more than 40 families received assistance.
There are no income eligibility guidelines.
CMN is there for families as they go through the process of caring for their child ages birth to 18, or 21 if a dependent or in college, who has a medical crisis, she said.
We want to be involved, Miss Bocciolatt said.
The agency helps families with children who have developmental delays, birth defects, cancer and other ailments.
After CMN families receive assistance, they often continue that relationship and volunteer or participate in annual agency events, Miss Bocciolatt said.
When they get really involved and most do its because they want to give back, she said. They want people to understand that CMN is real and its local.
The next big event for CMN will be the annual New Visions class-hosted dance marathon at the end of next month.
Miss Bocciolatt said the fundraising goal for 2014 is pretty simple: raise more than in 2013. The community can help with that, she said, by purchasing a CMN paper balloon at a store or make a donation at participating businesses.
Anyone interested in helping CMN come up with new fundraising ideas or who wants to get involved can call Miss Bocciolatt at 785-4053.

Hello all -
I was taking a gander at the "Comprehensive Guide: Blu-ray back-up and Decryption via PS3" and would really love to test out the waters. I have YDL installed but have never used a linux os before. I have a 500gb external hard drive hooked up via USB to my PS3, and don't understand how to back-up games/movies to it. I'll admit, I've been reading threads for hours, but to let you understand how clueless I am, my first problem is this line:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/mnt/sdc/imagename.img
So here are my first questions:
- YDL sees my externalHD, but, can you NOT use just any old external hard drive when trying to back-up blu-rays and ps3 games?
- If you can, is there anything that needs to be done to the HD before trying to dump files on it?
- Either way, this line:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/mnt/sdc/imagename.img
What does this actually mean (i.e. mnt, sdc)? And what would I need to do to get the file to save on my extHD?
And finally, would you recommend purchasing reading material for learning these processes, or going through threads to aquire the info.
Thanks, all.

The Cloves
The Cloves
1300 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., Suite 2210, Suwanee
-- Open since: October 2008
-- Owners: Uday Gupte, Rajmohan Srinivasan and Santosh Narayan
-- Location: The restaurant is tucked away in The Plaza at Suwanee Station.
-- Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., 5:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., 5:30 to 9 p.m. Sundays, closed Mondays
-- Atmosphere: When you walk in the doors, the aroma of Indian spices is in the air and no matter where you sit, there are views of the outdoors because the restaurant has three walls of tall, wide windows.
The other walls are fairly plain, but decorated with traditional Indian scenes. One image shows a group of women carrying water jugs as another picks fruit from a tree.
In the middle of Cloves is a station for its buffet, which is available at lunch daily. The variety of dishes gives diners a chance to try several things at one time to see what flavors they enjoy -- or dislike for that matter.
Friday and Saturday nights are usually the busiest nights of the week and according to one of the owners, Sunday night has gain popularity lately, too. Mondays are closed, so the owners and kitchen staff can buy the produce for the week.
Cloves offers to-go food, catering and room for large parties, including bridal and baby showers, corporate meetings and birthday parties.
-- Menu: "We concentrate on north Indian food instead of the south because not that many people are used to the flavors from that particular cuisine," owner Uday Gupte said.
The kitchen uses Indian spices and cooking techniques to prepare all of the dishes from scratch.
"Everything is done from scratch when your order it," he said. "If you have something with spinach, we may grind it earlier, but cook it to order."
This includes the sauces, curries and naan (Indian flatbread). When an order comes up, they throw dough into the 600 degree F (or hotter) tandoor clay oven and cook it for about 2 minutes, then serve.
The menu also includes Chinese influenced dished for those who want fried rice, but chicken tikki masala and the samoas are the most popular meals at Cloves.
"We don't even have the chicken samoas on the menu yet and they are selling like crazy," Gupte said. "And chicken tikki masala is hands down the most popular."
-- Things you might not know: The Cloves is making 2,000 samoas for the Suwanee Day in September.

Hundreds of children rushed across the lawn at Clift Park on Saturday in a race to gather the most eggs.
It was the annual Easter Egg Hunt, sponsored by the Skaneateles Are Chamber of Commerce and the Skaneateles Rotary Club. Despite the many event goers, the hunt started and ended in only a few minutes as kids raced around grabbing up plastic egg after plastic egg.
Eighteen-month-old Elijah Blados walked carefully from one treasure to another and placed each of them carefully into his Easter basket.
"We've lived here about five years. Last year he was too small," said Janet Blados, Elijah's mom. "We're planning to come next year barring the weather's good."
Next year, the Blados family will have another little one in tow if the family makes it to the park for the event.
After most of the eggs were collected, sisters Allison Comer, 9, and Emily Comer, 7, were digging through their matching Easter baskets to see what kind of prizes they snatched up.
"They do it every year and it's fun," Allison said about the annual event. She grabbed 15 eggs before heading back to her spot in the grass.
For the last five years the girls have been attending and this year they arrived on time, said mom Melissa Comer.
"They offer these little prizes so they can go on to [shop at] the stores after," Melissa said holding up a tiny slip of paper with a deal printed on it from one of the local merchants.
"I got tattoos and candy," Emily said after counting her eggs; she had 11 in all.
The egg hunt wasn't just about who could get the most plastic, prize-filled containers, but also about hanging out with the Easter Bunny. Elizabeth Mashia, 17 months, had her chance to sit with the big bunny. Her dad, John said he thinks the event is a wonderful thing to offer the community.
"I think it's great. We're lived here about a year and it's a very nice, quaint town," John said.
According to Luann Robinson, a member of the event committee, the event is the fastest one in Skaneateles.
The annual Easter Egg Hunt has been a tradition in the community for more than 20 years.

Celebrity "Posers" Present Yoga Poses.
Looking for a new way to connect with your yoga mat? Yogamatic, the eco-mat company, has created a series of five-minute videos called "Posers" to provide ways to approach yoga and its principles through the interviews of some of Los Angeles most prominent personalities.
You can tune into a video interview with Mariel Hemmingway, describing how she incorporates yoga into every aspect of her life, such as cooking, and see her demonstrate a beautiful Natarajasana in her backyard. Also, you could watch Brad Warner, writer, punk rocker and Zen Buddhist, discuss meditation and sitting positions.
The series was created by Yogamatic as a way for yoga to become more accessible ( with its availability on YouTube) and also as a clever marketing technique for the company.
Yogamatic is the first company to make ecologically sound yoga mats that are fully customizable. Their designs are different and fun, but mostly personal, a fact reflected in the video series. Yogamatic has completed a whole first season of "Posers" and is currently in pre-production of their second season.
Posers features musicians, lifestyle experts, actors and other well-known people in the entertainment industry, while also focusing on very basic techniques that anyone can try. The interviewer, Alexandra Aitken, is a KRI Kundalini instructor in Los Angeles, who recently shed her London party-girl lifestyle in favor of yoga. Now she gets to talk yoga with all sorts of interesting people and cruise around in "Buzz" the Yogamatic mascot car, a jaunty orange 1959 Messerschmitt.
Be sure to check out "Posers" on YouTube. We'll be expecting that after doing so, people will be practicing the breathing exercises described by yogini, Kia Miller, or the seated twists used by singer/songwriter Michelle Branch. "Posers" reminds us that five minutes are enough to change our day; a good message for sure.
Here are a few videos from the Yogamatic YouTube page:

ATLANTA -- Seven-year-old Trevor Keirns has been in and out of the hospital for much of his life. Infections keep coming back, and his mom said the frequent medical visits are tough on him.
"It's good to get him out of his hospital room, get his mind off things," said Jennifer Keirns, adding that a recent visit from three former University of Georgia football players was just what the boy needed.
As part of "Dawgs Day of Play," former NFL players -- and Gwinnett County Public Schools graduates -- David Greene, Jon Stinchcomb and Matt Stinchcomb visited with kids Wednesday morning at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Wednesday's event was a "Countodwn to Kickoff Fan Festival," Jenny Grifenhagen of the CHOA said.
Greene said it was a chance to "come out and play with the kids."
"To be able to get in here and spend a couple hours with them, it's great," he said. "It's just two hours out of my life, and it's something that's very special for some of them."
Trevor said it was indeed a special time. He and Greene chatted while using magic markers to color two small, plastic football helmets red and black.
Greene, a South Gwinnett High School alum, walked around a large room Wednesday called "The Zone" at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where he and Jon and Matt Stinchcomb (both Parkview High grads) visited with several dozen hospitalized kids.
Among them: Jacob Foster, 12. The boy watched with a smile as Jon Stinchcomb signed an autograph for him. Foster's mom, Glendia Terrell, said the boy had been up since 4 a.m., because he was so excited.
"He's a big Bulldogs fan," she said.
Jacob said he thought it was "awesome" that the players came to the hospital to see him. "It says that they really care about kids."
Taryn Evans said her son, Preston Johnson, 8, enjoyed his visit with Jon Stinchcomb, who played on the offensive line in the NFL. earning a Super Bowl ring with the New Orleans Saints.
"His father went to UGA, and they go to football games together," Evans said. "His whole room is red and black."
Jon Stinchcomb said it's nice to see the young fans.
"It's all for the kids ... to be able to interact with them and their parents, that's awesome," Jon Stinchcomb said. "These kids are facing some pretty serious situations, and being here reminds us why we do this."
Greene agreed with his fellow UGA grads.
"This is the kind of thing we should do more often," Greene said. "It's really great to be able to be here with them."

Zinetic Pocket Slipper, 7.5 oz avg weight
Edited by jshann on 02/11/2008 04:03:08 MST.
Those are quite pretty but rather heavy at 7.5 ounces. I have shoes like this: http://www.sprintaquatics.com/prodinfo.asp?number=901that I think weigh about an ounce a piece (I would have to check my notes at home, I forget if they are an ounce a piece or an ounce for the pair). They work fairly well. I would like to replace the thin, hard bottoms with some thick sleeping pad foam. I think that would reduce the weight a bit and be warmer (and more comfortable).
Edited by rossbleakney on 02/12/2008 15:35:03 MST.
You are right. Those slippers are only a few oz. lighter than crocs. They do have a tougher bottom though from the looks.
Integral Designs make a great camp slipper, the Hotsocks. They weigh ~5 oz/pr, size large. Worth a look.
(bump)I just purchased the Zinetic slippers and wanted to give you some weights. When you buy a pair, you'll get the shoes, a small bag and a set of velcro bands to secure the shoes when you roll them up for storage. These weights were taken on my scale.Weight without velcro:XL - 8.8 ozL - 7.7 ozVelcro: ~.1 ozBag: .4 ozWhen I try them, I'll report back.
I passed cordlace through holes in a standard thin boot insole and backed the knots with load distributing washers to make camp thongs. 1.5oz/pair less than $1

Very nice Al - I've also made some 1.5 oz sandals. They obviously have limitations, but you would be surprised how comfy and durable they are.
Al,Awesome idea. I can't wait to make a pair. Finally a use for the closet full of insoles that I can't bring myself to throw out. Bill
I like the washer idea, but I'm wondering if there is a way to punch holes in your boot insoles, and use them rather than carrying a second set. The problem would be attaching them easily without fooling around with tying cords each evening. I don't have any ideas yet, but perhaps someone will think of something?
These are light and cheap, but of limited durabilityhttp://sprintaquatics.com/prodinfo.asp?number=901
Jaiden,The person who recommended I make my own camp slippers used to just remove his insoles and feed some string through some holes in them and tie it off. For me, my primary reasons for the camp shoe is to dry/air my shoes and feet out. So I would personally want to leave my daily insole at rest - but too each his own!Steve
Interesting idea, but ... they aren't going to be all that strong, and they aren't going to keep you out of any mud. What's the matter with going barefoot?
Jaiden - Stock insoles are useless to me. I need the support of Superfeet. But if you can actually use these things in your boots then you could potentially save the 34gm/1.2oz weight of the insoles. Just punch the 3 holes (or melt them with a hot nail as I do) in your insole, insert the melted pointy tip of the 8gm/.3oz/pr. cordlace through the holes and fix with a knot (or to save time untying 6 knots in the morning, fix the end of the cord on the underside with safety pins. This would also allow for quick cordlace length adjustments to allow for foot swelling, or adding Injinji socks in the evening.) I'll bet either technique will work. This suggests: could I do the same with my Superfeet and have a lighter, more puncture resistant camp thong??Steve - I see your point. However, almost all of the moisture is in the sock and boot, not the insole. I think that wearing the insole in camp will not slow the drying of the system. BTW - cool ankle tat. You've inspired me to start a muti-use gear thread on the subject.Roger - Correct. These will not protect you from mud, allow you to sprint or climb 5.10b. They're just camp thongs that allow you to relax, dry feet, boots and socks while providing modest abrasion and puncture resistance. They also help to keep feet clean after washing which is generally nice and when nursing open wounds/blisters on the feet quite important.
I know Teva makes pairs of really light thick sandals that usually go for $20. I think they are around 5-6oz but they stand up really well and are nice for river crossings and just lounging about on really hot days.
The light end of WallMart thongs (much more substantial and thicker than my insole thongs) run 4.1oz/pair.That is, of course, combing through the bin of 200, weighing each one and pairing the lightest left foot with the lightest right.
Speedo has EVA material "buoy watershoe" that is $35 (with shipping) and weighs 6.42 oz apiece (men's size 9--for one sandal). See http://preview.tinyurl.com/39g7xk Weight is not given at any web pages but the price was right so I ordered and received mine and weighed one of the pair of sandals to get the weight. The bottoms of the sandals look/feel like they will grab fine on rocks underwater. One thing nice about the sandals, is that when wet, after taken out of water, they will instantly dry--the only thing that will absorb some water will be the velcro-strap to tighten the sandals down on top which is only about a 3/4" by 1.4" length of material to worry about per sandal.
The airwalks have a similar shoe..so does family dollar store, which are a bit lighter.
Why don't you ask Mike Clelland's opinion of going barefoot in the backcountry? I don't take camp shoes myself. Loosen the laces and no socks around camp.
Yeah, well, actually, I don't go barefoot very often myself either. The Australian bush sometimes discourages that.All things being equal, we take our light joggers and thick socks off in the evening, have a bit of a wash (all over) in whatever creek we have, then walk back to the tent wearing just the joggers. After that, we are cooking dinner in the tent, sitting down, relaxing.Works for us.
Do you have links for either item? Weights? thanks.[ The airwalks have a similar shoe..so does family dollar store, which are a bit lighter. - John P. ]

Baicalein inhibits IL-1β- and TNF-α-induced inflammatory cytokine production from human mast cells via regulation of the NF-κB pathway
1 Departments of Internal Medicine, James H. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee 37614, USA
2 Departmen of Surgery, James H. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee 37614, USA
Clinical and Molecular Allergy 2007, 5:5 doi:10.1186/1476-7961-5-5Published: 26 November 2007
Human mast cells are multifunctional cells capable of a wide variety of inflammatory responses. Baicalein (BAI), isolated from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Huangqin (Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi), has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. We examined its effects and mechanisms on the expression of inflammatory cytokines in an IL-1β- and TNF-α-activated human mast cell line, HMC-1.
HMC-1 cells were stimulated either with IL-1β (10 ng/ml) or TNF-α (100 U/ml) in the presence or absence of BAI. We assessed the expression of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 by ELISA and RT-PCR, NF-κB activation by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and IκBα activation by Western blot.
BAI (1.8 to 30 μM) significantly inhibited production of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 in a dose-dependent manner in IL-1β-activated HMC-1. BAI (30 μM) also significantly inhibited production of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 in TNF-α-activated HMC-1. Inhibitory effects appear to involve the NF-κB pathway. BAI inhibited NF-κB activation in IL-1β- and TNF-α-activated HMC-1. Furthermore, BAI increased cytoplasmic IκBα proteins in IL-1β- and TNF-α-activated HMC-1.
Our results showed that BAI inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines through inhibition of NF-κB activation and IκBα phosphorylation and degradation in human mast cells. This inhibitory effect of BAI on the expression of inflammatory cytokines suggests its usefulness in the development of novel anti-inflammatory therapies.

Have a love or relationship situation you can't figure out? Here, the Relationship Expert shares her prudent and sensible ideas.
Relationship Expert's Answer
Still, I think the vast majority of the men on this site are truly interested in finding a life partner, so you can make your chances of finding a lifetime match better by doing three major things:
First, say what you mean in your profile. Be strong and clear about it. Sure, saying you are looking for a lifetime partner will scare some guys off, but it will really appeal to guys who are serious about finding someone and who feel the same way you do about playing games. There are a lot of people out there that are extremely tired of dating and want a soul mate, a life partner, a person they can really count on and who are ready to want and accept commitment. Believe me, there are many men out there who are as tired as you are of people who just want to party.
Second, represent yourself fully and honestly in your profile and in your picture. If you don't, you shouldn't be surprised if dates don't take you seriously. When you are looking for a partner, and they are looking for a partner, you can't blame them for not trusting you if you misrepresent yourself (short rather than tall, high school educated as opposed to college, thin rather than athletic build, etc.). Some guy will love exactly what you are, but you have to make sure that he gets what he's looking for. Otherwise, he may say he just wants to date and not be serious about any one person, when in fact, he is bowing out gracefully.
Third, pick someone who is likely to be a psychological match. Don't disregard the Personality Profiler, it's a very valuable tool that can really help. For example, there are some questions on both the similarity and complementary part of the profiler that makes it more likely to find someone serious. And, there's a question on risk seeking versus risk averse. I would imagine in most cases, someone who is risk averse is more interested in a steady relationship than someone who is risk seeking. Look also for a lot of similarity in your guy's profile to your own, that is the most likely way to get compatibility for a lifetime. There are two ways to use the profile: look at the pictures and see who attracts you, and then look for a compatible Personality Profile; or use the Profiler first and then see if the people suggested arouse your hormones. You can combine this with a keyword search so you find someone who has lifestyle desires that you have. In other words, do as much homework as you can to make sure you are raising the odds in your favor that this guy and you could be right for one another.
Finally, while I have said that you should be honest, this should not come across as needy or desperate. No one wants to think that a person is going to be clingy, or that they would accept just about any warm body. Be serious, but also independent and show that you are a discriminating person and do it without acting arrogant or emotionally impenetrable. Be warm, friendly, and poised. You will find you are not the only one looking for a perfect match.

My dad is a plumber and starting up his own plumbing business in Huntington Beach, California.
He'd like to use his Google+ page to promote his business, but he's not sure if his target market is there.
He also doesn't know how to find them.
So how can he find and connect with locals? And how can he best use his time in Google+?
First, let's address the problems of finding people based on location:
The Problem of Finding People by Location
There isn't a surefire way to find out where people are living simply by doing a city search in Google. Sometimes people list their location in their about page, but not always. Many people share a variety of places they have lived, and it's not always clear where they live now.


text: Homemade Smoking Devices= BIG FUN For some reason, I have always preferred homemade bongs and pipes. I think its because making an interesing bong is another sort of creative outlet and its great to take a big hit off that bong that you FINALLY got to work right. So what is the best/worst/ingenious/most creative smoking device that you have made? My favourite has to be my little bong thing made out of a pill bottle. Its really simple but what makes it my favourite is the fact that it is really small and portable...its a cute pocketsize bong Also, on the label of the bottle it says something like 'We have no idea what the contents of this bottle will have on your subconcious, take this tablet at your own risk'. Its hard to describe how I made it so I drew a crappy picture, but the finished product looks like it shouldnt work but it does. (My friends laughed at it until they saw me take a hit )

Researchers have revealed a new single-stage method for recharging the hydrogen storage compound ammonia borane. The breakthrough makes hydrogen a more attractive fuel for vehicles and other transportation modes.
In an article appearing in the March 18 edition of Science magazine, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and University of Alabama researchers working within the U.S. Department of Energy's Chemical Hydrogen Storage Center of Excellence describe a significant advance in hydrogen storage science.
Hydrogen is in many ways an ideal fuel. It possesses a high energy content per unit mass when compared to petroleum, and it can be used to run a fuel cell, which in turn can be used to power a very clean engine. On the down side, H2 has a low energy content per unit volume versus petroleum (it is very light and bulky). The crux of the hydrogen issue has been how to get enough of the element on board a vehicle to power it a reasonable distance.
And what is the significance of the breakthrough?
"It's probably to be determined," said LANL's Andrew Sutton, who headed the project and has worked at the lab for four years. "It raises the potential ability of recharging the hydrogen storage compound ammonia borane."

Summer programs offered at Coweta libraries
by Celia Shortt
With the 2013-2014 school year at a close, summer vacation has begun for parents and students, and the Coweta County Library System is providing many different activities for both.
Jimmy Bass, director of Coweta's library system, is excited about all four branches of the library will be offering.
"The summer of 2014 figures to be an electric one for the four branches of Coweta's Library system," he said.
Each branch will feature various summer reading contests - "Fiz, Boom, Read!" for children, "Spark a Reaction," for teens, and "Literary Elements" for adults. These and other reading contests will begin on Thursday, May 27.
In the summer, each branch will also feature special performers throughout June and July. These performers include: magician, Ken Scott; puppeteer Lee Bryan; and Mr. Magical Balloons Dewayne Reynolds.
Science programs will also be featured, including: the BioBus, a mad science show by Doc Atoms, and science demonstrations by Dr. Margo Wimbush.
A new event this summer will be a foam party, where participants should be prepared to get foamed and wet as they play in a mountain of foam.
Renovations to the A. Mitchell Powell Jr. library will be finished, and it will feature new bathrooms, lighting, and paint.
For a complete list of activities, visit the library system's website at www.cowetapubliclibrary.org, or in the summer program booklets available at each library branch.

New Concepts for a Compact 5 TeV Collider
AbstractWe propose new design concepts for a multi-TeV linear collider which provide for a much shorter system length and for higher luminosity at lower beam power than conventional approaches. The new concepts include an active matrix linac, linac energy compensation, sextupole-free final focus, and bunch combination. We present a consistent parameter set for a 5 TeV collider.

I am a total lip product addict. Lipstick, gloss, balm… you name, I hoard it. Fresh's Sugar Lip Treatment is one of the best products I've stumbled upon in recent years, and I always try and keep a tube on hand. Not only is the packaging really sweet, but the product itself is pretty amazing. It blends reparative oils and waxes with real sugar—a natural humectant—so it's super-moisturizing. Plus, it's formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes… and all that other yucky stuff that many beauty products include.
In honor of Valentine's Day, I've teamed up with Bluemercury to give away one tube of the treatment (a $22.50 value) to a lucky reader and Instagram follower. From now until Valentine's Day, upload a photo of your Valentine—it could be your husband, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your mom, your grandmom, your dog… you get the picture—along with the hashtag #MyFreshValentine. Note: You must follow @vchamlee and @jacksonvillemag on Instagram in order to be eligible to win. We'll select one lucky winner on February 14, just in time for you to pucker up on Valentine's Day!

Treatment for strained back
Rest on a firm surface for several hours to treat and alleviate symptoms of a strained back. Anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) can help, and stretching and strengthening of the back muscles is important to avoid another back injury.

To connect to a server, it is necessary to specify connection parameters such as user name, host name, password, and perhaps also port or socket.
Whenever connection parameters are required, they can be specified three different ways:
As a dictionary containing the connection parameters.
As a connection specification string containing the connection parameters.
As a Server instance.
When providing the connection parameters as a dictionary, the
parameters are passed unchanged to the connector's
connect function. This enables you to pass
parameters not supported through the other interfaces, but at least
these parameters are supported:
The name of the user to connect as. The default if no user is supplied is login name of the user, as returned by getpass.getuser.
The password to use when connecting. The default if no password is supplied is the empty password.
The domain name of the host or the IP address. The default iIf no host name is provided is 'localhost'. This field accepts host names, and IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It also accepts quoted values which are not validated and passed directly to the calling methods. This enables users to specify host names and IP addresses that are outside of the supported validation mechanisms.
The port to use when connecting to the server. The default if no port is supplied is 3306 (which is the default port for the MySQL server as well).
The socket to connect to (instead of using the host and port parameters).
Providing the connection parameters as a string requires the string
to have the format
user[:passwd]@host[:port][:socket], where some
values are optional. If a connection specification string is
provided, it is parsed using the options.parse_connection function.

Hometown: Mumbai, India
Area(s) of Interest: Finance
Undergraduate School: NMIMS University, Mumbai, India
Employer Prior to Smith: Bank of Maharashtra (A Government of India Undertaking)
Why did you choose to attend the Smith School of Business?
I am committed to and passionate about international development. I would like to work as a finance specialist for one of the many intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), World Bank, International Finance Corporation (IFC), or the like.
The Smith MBA will prove an excellent opportunity for me to learn from world-renowned faculty. Additionally, the location of the Robert H. Smith School of Business is extremely strategic in my job search since most intergovernmental organizations are headquartered in Washington D.C.
In your opinion, what makes the Smith MBA program unique?
Students at the Robert H. Smith School of Business come from a very diverse background, not only in terms of different industries, but also in terms of different nationalities. This makes for interesting discussions in class since we hear from students who have their own unique perspectives. In addition, the culture at Smith is such that the first years interact a lot with the second years, and vice versa; the world renowned faculty, here at Smith, know students by their first name; the staff have a positive outlook and are always eager to help you out. Such a close-knit community ensures that students have a support system that they can rely on while they are pursuing their MBA.
What advice would you give to future Smith MBA candidates?

WATERTOWN Stephen W. Burke, a Democrat from Macomb, has another hearing before the state Supreme Court in Albany to determine his eligibility to be listed on the ballot in the race for the 21st Congressional District.
Last week, the state Board of Elections invalidated his petitions for not having enough signatures. Mr. Burke said he collected 1,291 signatures on his petitions, but after 175 were removed, he did not meet the minimum number required.
Mr. Burke, who is represented by Canton-based attorney James L. Monroe, said he has a hearing at 1 p.m. today in front of Justice Kimberly A. OConnor.
We hope to prove that I should be on the ballot, Mr. Burke said. A decision is expected Friday.

HERSHEY, Pa. - Dave Matthews may jet to performances around the world, but that doesn't mean his bicycle never breaks down.
That's what happened before the singer's show Saturday in Hershey when one of his fans pulled over to give the stranded cyclist a ride and realized the hitchhiker was none other than Matthews. He didn't have a cellphone on him.
Emily Kraus tells WHP-TV in Harrisburg that she and her boyfriend helped Matthews stow his bicycle on their bike rack and he got in their car for the rest of the ride.
Kraus says he invited them to dinner, signed their tickets, took them back stage and got them front-row seats.
Kraus says Matthews was a humble guy and that she woke up the next morning still amazed at what had happened.
