Quick Ratatouille
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by MathMom.calif
Use poultry sausage, a low-fat kind (check the labels). Or omit the sausage altogether for a vegetarian entree. This is a nice quick ratatouille.
Top Review by RAVICKERY
Great recipe! My wife really liked it, the fresh spices make the world of difference. My suggestion is that you use spinach/feta chicken sausage for the meet, I can't imagine not having meat in this dish, it wouldn't be as good otherwise. All in all good stuff!

Nathaniel Hunt '13
Posted on April 3, 2012
Class of 2013
From: Cumberland, RI
Did you come to Wheaton knowing you wanted to major in Computer Science?
I had no idea I wanted to be a CS major when I came here. I took Storytelling through Computer Animation with Mark and was pretty much hooked from there. I tried out Comp 115 and 116 and those classes persuaded me that the major was fun and interesting, so I followed through with it. I also liked music, so I decided to major in that as well.
What has been the most interesting class you've taken in the Computer Science Curriculum?
The most interesting course I have taken has probably been the independent study I am doing currently with Tom. We are working with an Xbox Kinect to read in data and display the sensory information using LEDs. It's a lot of fun, and it's a great way to use new technology to create something awesome. Hopefully this project will be on display soon for all students to see and interact with.
What is your favorite programming language and why?
Tough choice. It's definitely between C++ and Python. Python for its simplicity and ease of use, and C++ for its ability to give the programmer many options. I think if I had to pick a favorite it would be C++ because it is a great language that allows the user to have lots of control. Plus I am more comfortable with it, so that helps too.
What are your plans for after graduation?
I haven't thought about this in detail yet, but my plans are to hopefully get a job as a computer scientist somewhere... It would be nice to get a job that involves both computer science and music since those are my majors. For now though, anything will do.

A POOLE woman and her boyfriend are taking part in a sponsored road trip around places with 'rude' names to raise money for the hospice that looked after her aunt.
Jessica Mott, 22, is tackling the 734-mile trip with her partner, technical consultant Freddie Jackson, 23, and his brother Adam Ross, 20.
The trio's journey is inspired by a challenge taken up by the stars of Channel 4 comedy The Inbetweeners.
Among the 20 locations the trio will be taking in during their two-day journey are Titty Ho, North Piddle, Adams Bottom and Old Sodom Lane.
All have to be accessible by car, which has ruled out Dorset's own Scratchy Bottom near Lulworth, although Jess and Freddie are considering a detour to Shitterton near Bere Regis before travelling to Middlesex to pick up tree surgeon Adam, 20, on March 8.
"Around Christmas we were watching the Inbetweeners roadshow.
"Freddie said: 'I really want to do that.' I said: 'Okay, but why don't we make it for a good cause?'" explained Jess, of central Poole.
"It took him about two days to find all the places and select the ones we could go to. Some are too rude to print. There are loads more, but we've got to keep it so we are able to complete it over a weekend."
Jess is originally from Ashford in Middlesex and hopes the stunt will raise at least £500 for the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher, Surrey, where her aunt Jackie Eldridge died last year at the age of 47.
During the road trip, which is due to finish in High Wycombe, the trio will be trying to fit in as many visits as possible to cafes and restaurants with naughty names.
"The team at the hospice is amazing and the work they carry out is nothing short of a miracle. Jackie's death was a huge shock for the whole family, as she died only two months after her diagnosis of lung and bone cancer," said Jess.
To sponsor the trio, go to just giving.com/ruderoadtrip. Jess will also create a photo blog on Facebook.

Summer can wreak havoc on your skin (sun! sweat! breakouts!), so now's the time to make sure yours is smooth and supple. I quizzed our beauty team for their top exfoliation tips, so you can sail through the hottest season of the year looking radiant and fresh.
"I've found the best thing that works to rejuvenate my sensitive skin is the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Cleansing System. The brush is incredibly gentle, and I use it every night to take off my makeup and the day's grime. It removes six times more dirt and oil than cleansing with hands alone, and its sonic frequency produces over 300 movements per second. Pretty impressive, right? Plus, I love that my night cream absorbs into my skin more readily." –Eleanor Langston, Beauty Director
"I'm an exfoliating fiend. I use a glycolic acid peel pad in the AM before my sunscreen and a retinol treatment at night to keep my skin healthy-looking and glowing. When I shower, I slough off dead skin cells with a microdermabrasion stick like Blinc Resurfastic Face, followed by a moisturizing mask." –April Franzino, Associate Beauty Editor
"I love St. Ives Apricot Scrub because it's inexpensive and makes my face feel ultra-soft. For my body, I use Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash daily, and I never have any sensitivity." –Kelly Garner, Beauty Intern
"I used to think that the more I cleansed, the clearer my skin would be, but boy was I wrong! My skin became unbearably red from daily sloughing, so now I use a scrub two to three times a week and never on consecutive days. My secret: Apply your scrub in the shower. Steam's heat helps soften skin, so you can rub without irritation." –Amanda Downs, Beauty Intern

Date of Defense 2011-03-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractFrom campus shootings to mass prolonged campus closures in the Gulf Coast due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the past decade has seen an increase in high profile crises at higher education institutions. Louisiana State University was one of the institutions impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. After the experience, university administrators created an Emergency Operation Center and a new plan for how to handle campus crises. In 2008, LSU administrators had an opportunity to test their full scale plan with the landfall of Hurricane Gustav.
In this study, university administrators from LSU were interviewed about their experiences with crisis management and the changes implemented since 2005. The participants discussed the creation of the Emergency Operation Center, leadership shown from the administration in the construction of the Emergency Operation Center, the difference in higher ranking administrators versus lower ranking administrators, and the opinion of if the campus is ready for future crises.
In this study the researcher found that the creation of an Emergency Operation Center was an important achievement for crisis management. Additionally, it was decided that perceptions between higher ranking administrators involved with the Emergency Operation Center and those administrators not involved was significant and that a discrepancy was occurring between those who are considered essential personnel and non-essential personnel.

The Ballad of Bob Dylan: A Portrait
19 May 2011 // 5:00 PM
Bob Dylan lurched toward his place onstage wearing a steel harmonica holder around his neck that made him look like a wild creature in harness, blinking at the floodlights, hunching his shoulders to adjust the guitar strap that held the Gibson Special acoustic high on his slender body.

text: Hi. I've just downloaded the installer for sbcl-0.9.18 on Windows, run it and tried to play with it. I've done=20 * (require :asdf-install) which seems to work, except on random occasions when it tells me : ; compilation unit aborted ; caught 1 fatal ERROR condition and then repeats the prompt line ('* \n') until I hit Ctrl-c.=20 Then I tried=20 * (asdf-install:install :cl-ppcre) which did not work because cliki was down or at least answering with internal server errors (HTTP 500). So I finally resorted to downloading cl-ppcre.tar.gz on a local disk and do a * (asdf-install:install "C:/tmp/download/cl-ppcre.tar.gz") asdf-install politely asks me where I want to install, to which I answers politely also. It tells me that it is installing the package in the chosen location, but then hangs. It seems that tar.exe (from my cygwin installation) is running but not doing much (0% CPU). Maybe it's waiting from some input. Oh, I forgot to say that before the local file install, I tried the HTTP install (directly from Edi Weitz's site for CL-PPCRE) and it hang similarly, after having told me it had downloaded the file. The only difference was that that time it was gpg that was doing nothing. My command was: * (asdf-install:install "http://weitz.de/files/cl-ppcre.tar.gz";) BTW, I had to manually define the environment variable SBCL_HOME for sbcl to find its core file. By default, it tried /usr/local/lib/sbcl, which is not quite right. And thanks for this nice CL implementation and for the Windows port. Laurent.

When Dom Pérignon Rosé 2002 was introduced in the UK three weeks ago, it sold out before noon. For one store, that would be impressive. DP Rosé 2002 sold out in the entire country.
Sampling the Champagne with Dom Pérignon's chef de cave, Richard Geoffroy, in the Greenwich Hotel earlier this week to celebrate the vintage's Stateside launch, it was obvious why. Even if, like us, you're a relative wine novice, it's impossible to sip a glass of the Rosé 2002 without realizing you're drinking among the best Champagne you'll ever taste. It is complex, saturated with layers of flavor, perfectly bubbly, and pleasantly intense. It is also, it's worth noting, only the second rosé champagne deemed fit for release under a Dom Pérignon label in the brand's nearly century-long history.
But, of course, "wine is more than a beverage," as Geoffroy noted when we met him this week. For the charming, unflaggingly gracious 59-year-old face of Dom Pérignon, wine is a way to understand human nature.
ALEXANDRIA SYMONDS: I'm sure that there's no typical day, but how does your time typically break down between what you spend in the cellar, traveling, taking meetings, doing collaborations...?
RICHARD GEOFFROY: It's on the rhythm of the seasons, more than anything, and the rhythm of the cycle of winemaking, which is a yearly thing. All I know is that I find it very stimulating. I need to keep a foot in nature—the organic, intimate relationship to nature. There's something very technical, you have to actually make wine, you know. Even more crucial, or just as crucial, is management. I'm running a team of many people. I believe so much in performance through collective achievement. I'm not a lonely guy creating on a bench.
SYMONDS: How long term was the plan for this rosé? At what point did the conversation about releasing a rosé begin?
GEOFFROY: You know, there is a harvest. You pick grapes, you make the wines. You blend—blending is crucial in the process of Dom Pérignon—and then there is time in the cellars. For those 10 years, we've been looking at the wine on a very regular basis to know, to be discerning enough, when the wine would be ready. It takes that long to come around. To be true to Dom Pérignon, to be fully expressive. To represent the original idea in the making.
Many, if not most, of the wine experts tell me the wine is terrific and yet so youthful. I wouldn't say restrained, but with tremendous potential ahead. My answer is that it's the first stage in the life of the wine. The living substance never matures on a steady curve—I come from medicine, I'm a physician—it develops in plateaus and windows of expression. I would say it's the first window of expression for the wine, but with much more to come.
SYMONDS: Why do you think that rosé has been so rare in the Dom Pérignon catalogue?
GEOFFROY: You know, it's like many things, many projects, many achievements in life—it's about the alignment of the planets. It's a legacy, an ideal. And then it's about running into a vintage that's so fitting to it. '02 hasn't been that extraordinary to other winemakers. In my own project, it has been. When you hit such a gift from nature, then you're able to put the whole thing on high to fully express the ideal, the spirit of Dom Pérignon. It makes it very obviously rewarding, very satisfying to the creator. One keeps working for those moments. It's not necessarily on every day, for every vintage. If I'm not satisfied enough, then I'm done making it, I write the vintage off.
SYMONDS: You've had some cool collaborations in the last few years. You've worked with Alexandre Desplat and several other composers.
GEOFFROY: Yeah, we have been working with Alexandre Desplat, with Lang Lang, with Robert Wilson, we've been working with David Lynch. All the projects we have been referring to are really projects of references or correspondences. I've started really clearly understanding that there is really something universal enough to creation. I think David Lynch—you give David the technical expertise of winemaking for a couple years, I'm sure he'd come up with something. I strongly believe in the ability to transpose one world into another. It's exactly what our collaborations with creators has been. Alexandre Desplat has been just incredible, because he basically composed on the specific vintages of Dom Pérignon. And, wow. He went so far with it. He took it so seriously. What people don't know is that he wrote, as well. He composed the music, but he wrote pure literature on what the wines could translate into. These texts are so precious to me.
SYMONDS: When you see someone drinking Dom Pérignon in a way that's less than optimal for enjoying the wine, does that bother you?
GEOFFROY: It's a yes and a no. It's a no in the sense that one has to be relaxed enough about the whole thing. I cannot dictate a thing that is then the absolute truth. I don't want to be too directive. Having said so, before speaking anything of the glassware, of the wine temperature, whatever moment or food situation, the only recommendation I would give is that one has to make oneself available for the experience. Nowadays, I find it so hard to be available. It seems that everybody is so busy on the fast lane—hectic, zapping from one thing to another. To share appreciation of the wine, you need to stay in serenity or relative serenity.
SYMONDS: So you think if a couple is fighting at a restaurant, they should save the Dom for another night?
GEOFFROY: No, perhaps Dom Pérignon can be a mediator. [laughs]
SYMONDS: The rosé is a beautiful color.
GEOFFROY: I think there's an element of confidence in such a color. Often rosé wines are shy, as if they didn't want to be overly rosé. No, this says, "I'm rosé!" [laughs] I think that the color is such an invitation to the appreciation of the wine. [clinks glasses] I love the sound. It reminds me of a Tibetan...
SYMONDS: Prayer gong? I love it.
GEOFFROY: I spoke of the alignment of stars, planets, whatever, because it was ripe fruit, which translates into richness, volume, ampleness, expansion. It's so intense. And intense here is not something brutal, physical. It's sort of a trace, an imprint. Something penetrating—that profound, lingering thing to memory.
SYMONDS: Do you find, doing what you do, that you tend to have strong memory for specific years?
GEOFFROY: Memory is a major skill, and the awareness of the history of your art. I've been lucky enough to meet with so many artists and creators, and I'm always struck that they have so much knowledge and awareness. Leonardo DiCaprio knows the whole story of cinema. It's just amazing. They all are on top of the whole history and understand where they fit into that. Memory is part of it. So there is my lived memory. At the same time, there is an element of transmission from one person to another. There is a handover of memory from my predecessors as well.
SYMONDS: When you taste this, do you feel weather? Do you immediately start to remember what summer 2002 was like?
GEOFFROY: Yes. There's so much of a story here. I can tell you that July and August were very dull, no sun, what a stress, so all in all, it was not ripening fast enough. Then at the end of August, it rained, so that added to the process. Then came the sun for many weeks. So it all happened—I won't say last-minute—but it was a close call. So there's that idea of almost a miraculous vintage. We were nowhere, and we reached unprecedented heights. So there's the story of 2002.
SYMONDS: I wanted to ask you a little bit about your upbringing.
GEOFFROY: I was born in raised in a family of vinos, and it is my culture. That was so much of my culture that I wanted to break away, and I often say that medicine has been my act of rebellion.
SYMONDS: Your Rumspringa?
GEOFFROY: You know, you have everybody and you cannot fall. So I fully graduated as a physician, and then I felt that the attraction back was too strong. When you come from the land, you're from farming—it's for good.
SYMONDS: What were you like as a child?
GEOFFROY: I have three boys—three teenage boys—and I'm so impressed because they're so calm, so mature. And I was so turbulent. I was born in 1954, so I was a teenager in the '70s, and you know the '70s—it was about the idealism, utopia. It was a very different context. I was a bit less mature. [both laugh] I would say less mature as a teenager, but working on my ideals. And hopefully this remains. I'm a very idealistic person. I think utopia makes the world move forward. If you leave the world to the mean accountants, to those in business—the moves forward have always been through ideals. So that's the sort of boy I was... I'm a big believer in empathy. This world is so selfish, and I think wine fits into the empathetic embracing, inviting, and sharing.
SYMONDS: Wine is such a social product—the idea is it's something you share. But working the land, or coming from a farming family, that can be very solitary. Growing up, how did those two competing impulses play in your mind?
GEOFFROY: I'm very keen on tensions—these wines, the Dom Pérignon, are all on the team of tensions. As much one thing as its opposite. I think to be comfortable with others, you've got to be comfortable in being lonely. Otherwise, being immersed in so many people is more trying to fill a void. I like the idea of being able to be really solitary and on the other hand very social, and one is great because of the other. Solitary, solitary: no, no. Social, social: no, no.
SYMONDS: [laughs]
GEOFFROY: I like that. Solitude is great as long as you choose it, no?
SYMONDS: Yes.
GEOFFROY: We say wine is social, okay. It's a bit more complicated than that, because before you share wine, there's a stage where it's personal. Wine, before you start sharing the pleasure, the emotions, and eventually commenting on your experience, there's a personal phase. Wine is sort of your own mirror image—it's very intimate. Beer you share right away. This, you think, "Wow, there's so much going on," but personal feelings.
I have an anecdote of many years back. I gave an in-store tasting in Japan, in the suburbs of Tokyo, mid-afternoon, so it was ten women, and we tasted several vintages of Dom Pérignon. It was Japanese style, very tentative and quiet, so respectful and everything. And one woman stood up, and she started saying to the other women that the wines were unwinding the memories of her own life, that the tasting was sort of a mirror of that inner self. Wow—mid-afternoon, housewives, Japanese—wow. You pinch yourself, you say, "This isn't happening." It was one of my best memories.
SYMONDS: Do people tend to get nervous to drink Dom Pérignon in front of you? I was—not anymore, because you very much put me at ease, but when I walked in the door, I was nervous.
GEOFFROY: Yeah, yeah. It may happen. And then it makes me so unhappy, because it shows me that wine can be intimidating, and this is bad. The fact that there is such a wine jargon when it comes to describing it, that puts so much of a distance—I don't like it at all. You've always have got to try raise the thing, but with simple words—words which are more common in the world. Wine jargon is from wine people to wine people. When I'm at the winery, I'm of totally pure wine technical language. But as soon as I'm out, I try to get to "presence," to "radiance," to "expansion."
SYMONDS: It's strange—wine is meant to be enjoyed, but if I go out to dinner with a friend, or on a date, and they sort of know a little bit—a little bit of knowledge, I think, is very dangerous when it comes to wine.
GEOFFROY: Because then it's all about pretending, and you know... [pauses] I'm always suspicious about people who think they know of wine. I prefer people who are not knowing, and then they are very receptive. There's nothing more terrible than people who think they know, because they don't even listen to you. They don't listen. Or they listen to what will be a confirmation of what they know and think. No, for me, wine is just an experience like anything in life. You've got to be available and have somebody to give you hints. Or art—I don't want to be explained of a painting. Is there anything to be explained or understood? But I want somebody to give me a couple clues and a hint to my own judgment.
SYMONDS: This is a silly question. I'm always curious, with high-end alcohol brands, whether you keep up with being name-dropped in rap songs. To what extent are you aware of that? Is it kind of a funny thing that happens and you don't think about it one way or the other?
GEOFFROY: No, I don't think. But not so it means I'm negative or dismissive. Frankly, on the contrary, I'm not thinking of it much. I often say that as long as the wine is in the cellars, it's mine. But once the wine is out, at best, it's ours. I was going to say "yours," but no, it's ours. I keep considering it as partly mine. In a way, it doesn't belong to me anymore—it's like kids. After a certain age, your kids go, for the good and the bad. And rap is for the good, huh? I'm only saying that I'm not controlling, and I'm not anxious to know what the lives of these wines out there are.
SYMONDS: I think Dom Pérignon probably gets mentioned a lot because it's an especially mellifluous name. It's beautiful to say, and it rhymes with a lot. And it's got a nice meter: "Dom Pérignon."
GEOFFROY: I think the music of words is always very important. In China, they cannot pronounce it. So the Chinese word for Dom Pérignon is "The King of Champagne."
SYMONDS: [laughs]
GEOFFROY: And I said that is fine. Some of the brand guys said, "We got them to say Dom Pérignon!" And I said, "No!" It will do. "King of Champagne" will do. I don't see any problem with that.

Ageing Boomers a factor in increasingly important Family Tourism
AUT University academics Heike A. Schanzel and Ian Yeoman have just had a paper published discussing "Trends in Family Tourism" (Journal of Tourism Futures, 2015: Vol. 1 Iss 2 pp. 141 – 147). In it, the authors discuss how family travel is predicted to grow at a faster rate than all other forms of leisure travel. It is a phenomena shaped by changes in demography and social structures, including a growing number of older people. Longevity and smaller core families have led to the family becoming more vertical rather than statically horizontal in form. Grandparents are enjoying more time with their grandchildren as they live longer. "In 1960", write the authors, "the life expectancy of a UK woman was 73 and the mean age for giving birth was 27. Presently, the life expectancy for a woman is 81.9 and the age for giving birth is increasingly in their 30s. Present day grandparents can expect to enjoy several more years with their grandchildren than those of the 1960s". People expect grandparents to continue to play an active role in their grandchildren's life.
Increasingly re-connection holidays across generations become a way for extended families to spend valuable time together, and 75% of travellers plan their holiday around a milestone event such as a birthday, reunion, wedding or anniversary – and even a holiday, to bring family members together. More baby boomers are becoming grandparents who are typically healthier, mobile and want to spend quality, fun time with their grandchildren.

Date of Defense 2005-09-16 Availability unrestricted AbstractFracture systems or networks always control the stability, deformability, fluid and gas storage capacity and permeability, and other mechanical and hydraulic behavior of rock masses. The characterization of fracture systems is of great significance for understanding and analyzing the impact of fractures to rock mass behavior. Fracture trace data have long been used by engineers and geologists to character fracture system. For subsurface fractures, however, boreholes, wells, tunnels and other cylindrical samplings of fractures often provide high quality fracture trace data and have not been sufficiently utilized. The research work presented herein is intended to interpret fracture traces on borehole walls and other cylindrical surfaces by using stereology. The relationships between the three-dimension fracture intensity measure, P32, and the lower dimension fracture intensity measures are studied. The analytical results show that the conversion factor between the three-dimension fracture intensity measure and the two-dimension intensity measure on borehole surface is not dependent on fracture size, shape or circular cylinder radius, but is related to the orientation of the cylinder and the orientation distribution of fractures weight by area. The conversion factor between the two intensity measures is determined to be in the range of [1.0, π/2]. The conversion factors are also discussed when sampling in constant sized or unbounded fractures with orientation of Fisher distribution. At last, the author proposed estimators for mean fracture size (length and width) with borehole/shaft samplings in sedimentary rocks based on a probabilistic model. The estimators and the intensity conversion factors are tested and have got satisfactory results by Monte Carlo simulations. Files

Vodafone Germany that has a listing of the iPhone 4S with capacities up to 64GB under a drop down list of compatible devices when purchasing a bumper case.
The drop down list shows the iPhone 4 as well, but also adds an 8GB version of the smartphone. The iPhone 4S is listed with the usual capacities of 16GB and 32GB but adds the 64GB model which is an amount of memory yet to be seen on an iPhone. This ties into the cameo appearance that a 64GB iPhone made just the other day
You may have noticed that there is no iPhone 5 on that list, but that is simply because if it is getting a design change like all of the leaks and rumors have pointed to then the bumper will not fit it anyway. The only other thing that we can pull from the screenshot is that the iPhone 4S will be coming in two colors again, black and white. Hopefully the white one doesn't take several months to get released again.
The iPhone rumor mill is going to keep churning until Apple CEO Tim Cook gives us a reason to end all the speculation at tomorrow's event in Cupertino. Only one more day of this and all of the questions you may have will hopefully be answered.

Identifying a sidearm
Hello all,
I'm currently in the possession of two guns. A very old revolver and a more "modern" sidearm (modern looking, but I think it's old). Unfortunately finding information about these guns appears to be rather difficult.
From what I can tell the revolver is a .22 cal (NOT sure about this!) single-action, single-shot German WW2 revolver (It says Schmidt on the side and looks a bit like a Ruger Redhawk). I do not have a picture of this revolver so I don't think it will be so easily identified here.
However I am currently more interested in the more "modern" sidearm. I am unable to find any information about it. It has a logo on the grip: SM. I've looked on Wikipedia (also for now defunct weapon manufactures) and other sites, but I can't seem to find any manufacturer that uses SM as their logo let alone any information regarding the pistol itself. Its a very small pistol and doesnt look like it packs a punch, but I am a complete novice in the world of guns (and I really mean it!). I think its a semi-automatic 9mm handgun but I dont really know why I come to that conclusion since I have very little knowledge about firearms.
In any case I was wondering if someone is familiar with this gun and can tell me what exactly it is. I made a picture of it in the hopes someone recognizes it:
Thanks in advance!
PS: Please pardon any spelling and grammar errors, English is not my first language. Thank you.
I'm guessing but your pistol may be a .25 caliber Hawes. Hawes pistols were imported from Germany back in the 1960s or so. The J.P. Sauer & Sons Company were associated with the Hawes Company. The Hawes pistols were imported through California and then distributed across the U.S. Here's some info for you to look at and compare:
Pistols For Sale - 25 auto 25acp. - Auction: 9888802 (Ended 09/12/2010, 11:22:30 PST)
This next photo shows some Hawes' grips:
An Italian gun maker called Galisi may have also had a hand in making your little pistol too.
If the round of ammunition in the picture goes with the gun, the caliber is probably stamped on the base of the cartridge.
Firstly thank your for the quick responses. The bullet in the picture fits perfectly in the magazine so I guess that's the appropriate one. I haven't checked which caliber yet. Is it possible that this gun was imported into the US with the name Hawes? On another forum it was suggested that this pistol is a Rhöner SM 110. Perhaps it was simply imported into the US with Hawes as its brand name.
So it's probably an old German gun as you already said.
I wonder if I can find more about it now that I have more information on it.
Thank you!

Anything Lo Mein
Recipe by PcuIcuRn
This is my family's favorite Lo Mein recipe. We love the versatility. Add any veggies or meat you want.
Top Review by bad kitty 1116
Yum! This recipe was great! I was looking for a vegetable lo mein to serve with thai basil grilled chicken and shrimp skewers, so I didn't use the meat in this. I used about 12 ounces of the linguine noodles and used a vegetable combination of onions, carrots, broccoli and cabbage because those are what I had. I can't wait to try changing this up with the other vegetables suggested. I added garlic (4 cloves) minced in with the ginger. I added the ginger and garlic in at the end of stir frying my vegetables because I didn't want to overcook the garlic. The sauce for this is great-I picked this recipe because it used Hoisin sauce, which I love. I also love the versatility of this recipe and look forward to making it many more times. My hubby and I couldn't wait to eat the leftovers the next day-I wished I had more! Thank you so much for posting this recipe and sharing it with us!

Directions See How It's Made
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain out the water. Rinse the noodles with cold water, drain them well, and then set them aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Then set the sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the ginger for 30 seconds. Then add the onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and carrots and stir-fry 2 minutes more. Finally, add the broccoli, pea pods, and bok choy. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2 more minutes, then transfer them to a plate.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add chicken (or other meat) and stir-fry it until it's no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked noodles, vegetables, and sauce. Turn the heat down to medium.
- Using two spatulas or wooden spoons, lightly toss the mixture until heated through, about 3 minutes.

F6's unique split, semi-rigid braided construction makes it the ideal solution for situations where ease of installation is of primary importance.The lateral split allows the tube to open up to accommodate a wide variety of bundling requirements, and the semi-rigid braid configuration simply closes around the entire installation without the need for any additional fasteners (velcro, tape,etc.).
An excellent place to purchase items at a great price. Thank you!

Mike Newman, a 43-year-old father of two from Sale, is the current champion, having set a record of 144mph in a Jaguar XJ-R in August 2003.
On Tuesday at Elvington Airfield near York, he will drive a specially-made BMW M5 to try to reach 205mph and create a new record.
He is making his record attempt two days before World Sight Day.
Mr Newman, who has been blind for most of his life, hopes to increase awareness and much-needed funds for his chosen charity, Vision 2020.
"Every five seconds someone in our world goes blind," he said.
"Every minute a child goes blind - 80% of which is avoidable."
Andy Green, who took his Thrust SSC to 714mph to become the fastest man on Earth in 1997, said: "As the current world land speed record holder, I understand as well as anyone the thrill, excitement and physical challenges of driving at high speed.
"However, the thought of doing this without being able to see where you are going is just astonishing and takes the challenge into a different league."

Regents officially add 'Engineering' to Technology Department name
Regents officially add 'Engineering' to Technology Department name
Date of Release: 02/21/2005
SAN MARCOS—The Texas State University System Board of Regents has authorized Texas State University-San Marcos to rename its Department of Technology the Department of Engineering and Technology effective with the 2005 fall semester.
Texas State introduced its first engineering degree program – in manufacturing engineering – in 2000. It has since added a degree program in industrial engineering, and plans have been approved for the university to seek approval of a program in electrical engineering within two years. Plans for additional engineering programs at Texas State are also in the discussion stage.
"The current department name no longer reflects the variety of programs in technology and engineering that the department offers," said Perry Moore, provost and vice president of academic affairs at Texas State. "A name change to Engineering and Technology fully reflects the current nature of the department."
Programs now being offered by the department include information systems management, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, engineering technology, industrial technology, manufacturing technology, construction technology, and digital and photographic imaging (moving to the Department of Art and Design in the fall.)
Meeting Thursday and Friday, Feb. 17 and 18, in Huntsville on the campus of Sam Houston State University, the regents also redesignated the Texas State Department of Mass Communication. Effective in the fall of 2005, the department will become the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The department currently enrolls more than 1,600 students in five undergraduate majors and a master's degree program, making it one of the largest such departments in the country. The department recently received national professional accreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, meeting all 12 accreditation standards.
Programs currently being offered by the department included bachelor's and master's programs in mass communication and bachelor's degree programs in print journalism, electronic media, public relations, and advertising.
In other action, the board changed the name of the post-graduate certificate in Lawyer's Assistant to Paralegal Studies, changed the name of several majors in the Family and Consumer Sciences Department and moved the digital and photographic imaging program from the Department of Technology to the Department of Art and Design.
In other Texas State related business, the board:
* Rejected all bids for drainage improvements to the baseball and softball fields. New bids will be accepted after the project is redesigned to lower the cost, and it is anticipated that a construction contract will be awarded in March with work to begin in the summer.
* Authorized the university to renew for three years the employment contracts of head football coach David Bailiff and head volleyball coach Karen Chisum.
* Authorized the university to accept as complete the Strahan Coliseum expansion project and the Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Art, Technology and Physics Complex.

Federer, Murray Reach Second Round of Australian Open
Roger Federer, in his first match of 2013, beat World No. 46 Benoit Paire, 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 in the first round of the Australian Open.
The World No. 2 broke Paire six times, and saved all three break points he faced. He hit 25 winner and 18 unforced errors.
"I'm obviously very happy with this first round match," Federer said. "He can be a tricky opponent, you know, but I guess his playing style doesn't disturb me that much overall. I'm happy I was able to play a clean match out there today."
Andy Murray also opened with a routine win over Robin Haase, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3, striking 25 winners and 20 unforced errors.
"I started the year well in Brisbane, but obviously coming into the slams the first match is normally pretty tough, Murray said. "You know, there's nerves in the buildup. You've just got to try and focus and play solid, you know, not make too many silly mistakes. I did a good job of that today. It's always nice to get through the first round of any tournament, but especially here."
Gael Monfils, Bernard Tomic, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Juan Martin del Potro, Marin Cilic, Milos Raonic, and Nikolay Davydenko also advanced.

BEIJING — Fresh protests broke out in the Tibetan capital Lhasa on Saturday, a radio broadcaster and Tibetan activists reported.
A protest at Lhasa's Ramoche monastery grew to involve many people, said Kate Saunders of the International Campaign for Tibet in Washington.
Citing unnamed witnesses, Saunders said the situation calmed after a few hours. She had no information on injuries or arrests.
People also protested at the Jokhang Temple, a major Buddhist site in Lhasa, said the government-in-exile of the Tibetan Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, on its Web site.
Several hundred people took part in the protests, the U.S.-funded broadcaster Radio Free Asia reported.
The Ramoche and Jokhang monasteries and other sites were sealed off by security forces, Saunders said. Ramoche was the original site of protests that spread this month and led to a bloody crackdown by the Chinese government.
The reports of new protests came as a 15-member group of diplomats from the United States, Japan and Europe returned to Beijing after a two-day visit to Lhasa.

Remington 700 7mm Mag
Ok J.D. Some time ago you told me about Krieger barrels. Well after a year I have decided to go ahead and do the deed, and change out the stock and barrel on the 700. I have done some reading, and since I cannot afford a McMillian yet, lots of folks said to go with the Bell and Carlson Medalist vertical grip varmit stock. So now my question is, which contour should I go with on the Krieger barrel, and should I have it fluted? I am not with a department, and not in the Army any more, this is a hunting gun, and sometimes used for some backyard competitions between friends. I am just ready to make it better. I did read the next thread down, and some were not too hip on the 700, but I guess I got a good one. I can group pretty well out to 600 yards, and I am no sniper. Thanks for the help.
I am not JDou have picked one of the top names in aftermarket barrels on the market. The stock is a great choice as a #2 to McMillian. As for your barrel I would go with a factory Remington Varmint contour. That way you will have little if any work to preform on fitting the stock to the barrel.
Me personally I am so against flutting a barrel. Your going to take a good barrel and ruin it by having flutes cut into it. If you are going to do that then send it off and have it cryoed to relieve the stress. Once a barrel is finished from kreiger it should be stress free.
More later got to get to work.
true - Looks like you have your mind made up. The Bell & Carlson is a good stock, I don't think you will be disappointed with it.
As for the barrel, and what you want to do with it, we need to determine what your goals for it are:
A hunting rifle, in my realm, is a light weight, pack in rifle. Has a smaller diameter, and shorter in length, barrel profile. Possibly fluted to relieve even more weight. It's not designed for Minute of Angle because Minute of Deer is all you really need.
Now, a rifle that you are going shoot against the guys and occassionally hunt with - I would recommend something like a Standard or Medium Sporter and I would only flute it if weight is a problem.
If you want a tack driver, and aren't concerned with weight. I would go with the full 26" Standard or Heavy Target model. Glass bed the action in the new stock and get a good muzzle break installed to tame some of that recoil.
There is nothing wrong with fluting if it's done properly. If you go too deep, all at once, and don't relieve the barrel all the way around, then you are inducing stresses on the barrel. Several minor passes along the outside can shave a pound, or more, off a full length barrel and get the center of gravity back towards the shooter, which is a huge plus in a hunting stick.
But, even the most lightweight Krieger barrel is going to shoot better than the Remy factory barrel, so as long as you have someone competent doing the chamber work, the bedding and remounting your scope, you are going to see an improvement in your accuracy. It's just a matter of what kind of degree you want to go to.
I put the 26" Heavy Target on my custom 7mm mag and it's a weighty piece - but I don't ever intend on hunting game with it. :D
Who's going to do the work for you??
JD, I havnt gotten that far yet, as to who is going to do the work. The stock will take 6-8 weeks to get in, and I have no idea how long the barrel will take. Not to mention i am a poor unemployed soldier going to school full time, so it will take another month or two before I can even order the barrel.
What would you charge to do something like this if I already have all of the parts? Since I am here in Houston, I am blessed to have a very good gunsmith here in town(Briely), but they are a little on the expensive side. Any suggestions? To be honest I was thinking about either the standard target barrel, or the Rem varmit countour(both by Krieger), and Krieger offers fluting, so I guess they would do it correctly, and check it before it left them, right?
Also, I was sort of under the impression that since this stock comes with a full alum. bed block, i would not have to glass bed it, am I wrong on this?
I think a straight chamber cut is $300 or $350 in the shop if you provide everything.
If Brett does the build, he is going to true up the action face, clean up your bolt face, lap the locking lugs and basically blue print the whole action.
That would be $600 if I remember correctly.
You can order a fully cut chamber from Krieger, and I think it's only a couple of hundred extra dollars. Their backlog is out past 4 months though, so get your order in ahead of time. They don't charge you until they ship, but they do require a deposit.
If you want fluting, yes, Krieger would know how to correctly flute their barrels.
I personally don't flute any of my barrels, because I never intend on hiking deep into the outback in search of something to shoot at. :D
As for the bedding block, the answer is yes and no. Basically you are bolting steel ( receiver ) to aluminum ( bedding block ), and the Remington Receiver is a round bottom action. Since they didn't come of the assembly line together, you don't know how the fit is going to be between the two when mated up. Could be perfect, could be three high points making contact. You just don't know until it's done and in your hands.
Now, extrapolate that out past a few hundred magnum rounds down range and you can see where this is going.
Basically what you are wanting to do is Skim Bedding. Where it's not a real, traditional glass bedding, but it helps keep that round bottom action more in place and gives it less room to wiggle free or cause wear. Skim Bedding can even be done with JB Weld or something along those lines, but it's not the best overall solution.
Personally, for real tack driving accuracy, I would opt for a quality skim bedding ( possibly even a bit thicker ) to be done to mate the action correctly to the bedding block and give it that much more of a secure foothold..... But, that's just me.
Quality barrel makers, like Krieger, or my barrel maker Broughton, use heat stress relief after each and every machining operation or process. In other words after the barrel is deep hole drilled and then reamed, the barrel is heat stress relieved, and that procedure is followed throughout the entire process of manufacturing the barrel. Every time material is machined (or cold formed as is the case with button rifling) from the barrel blank, drilling and reaming, pulling a button (if button rifled), contouring, and fluting - the barrel is heat stress relieved before the next operation is undertaken. This virtually eliminates bore migration, distortion, and stress due to the removal of material from around the bore.
Flutes are cut to full depth in one pass per flute with a follow rest centered directly behind the work and the cutting tool to prevent distortion of the barrel and prevent variations in the depth of the cut. Fluting a barrel, if done properly (and not all barrel makers do it properly) has no ill effects on the ultimate accuracy of the barrel.
The better quality barrel makers also cryo the barrel stock (ideally as a first step in the manufacture of a barrel). This reduces the amount of scrap or rejected barrels during the barrel making process, and increases the life span of the finished bore as barrel steel elicits an increase of abrasion resistance of approximately 528% over non-cryoed barrel steel. There is actually an exchange of atoms at the sub-atomic level when material is subjected to cryogenics. What this means is that the material will be of uniform molecular structure throughout it's entire length. Tool flex and performance will be consistent throughout the entire machining process engaged in, or in plain language, the machinist will actually be able to hold tolerances of 0.0001" or 0.0002"
Top quality barrel makers also hand lap the bore as the final process in the manufacture. Our bores are hand lapped by Broughton to a consistent taper of approximately 0.0003" from the breach to the muzzle, and are "tight" at the muzzle end.
Interesting fact! I just got off of the phone with Remington, and they told me I could not change the barrel on my 700. I told him I thought he must be mistaken, but he started spouting something about messing up the action when it has to be heated to get the barrel off. So I asked if I could just buy and action, and he said no. Then I asked if they made a 7mm Mag with a target or varmit style barrel, and he said no. So basicly he told me I could not have what I want. What a bummer, and I hope to prove him wrong.
I have never seen a barrel so tight that it required heat to be removed from the action on a factory stick. There are several times where I have been able to unthread it with just an action vise and my bare hands.
Yes truevil, you can build whatever you want once you purchase the action ( even if you have to purchase a whole gun to do it ). Lots of guys used to sell just rifle actions at normal guns shows - but the market has made that come to a halt with the increased demand over the past year.
Call that guy back and ask him why there are so many aftermarket parts for their weapon platform if no one is allowed to modify them. :D
The guy you talked to at Remington must be :#1-either a moron,#2-attempting to keep amateurs from destroying rifles,or #3-talking about the model 710/770. I wish I had 100$-or even 1$ for every Remington model 700 that's been rebarreled.
I'm using a Krieger #9 heavy target barrel fluted. The fluting mostly aids in cooling and most of the 1000 yard target shooters have barrels made that are fluted that I see and talk to. The barrel is 28" long (not including muzzel break length) and has 1:11 rifleing. .300 Win Mag using 210 gr Berger match target boat tail bullets.
I'm estimating that the finished target rifle I'm having built will weigh about 11 to 12 lbs. Not too bad IMO for this type of rifle. Same range of weight as my M-14/M1A
I got the same shat from a Remington factory guy. I think they say not to change factory barrels because of possible liability issues they might face if they openly promote doing this.
When you clould get Remington factory recievers they were priced more than buying the whole rifle.
You might also consider Surgeon Rifles or Pierce Engineering machined billet recievers which come with complete tacticle bolt assemblies.
Krieger is going to R&R the barrel and blueprint the reciever and bolt of my rifle. Also they are putting in a quicker uptake fireing pin,oversize recoil lug, my muzzel break, and parkerize.
After shooting several rifles with different stocks I decided on the somewhat pricey McMillan A-5 stock with adjustable stack plates, 1" Decel pad, and intergral cheek piece.
When I get the rifle back from Krieger I'll be sending it to Mcmillan for fitting, bedding, and final assembly with all my parts, (Jewell trigger and Badger Ordance bottom metal with detachable magazine)
I had a local gunsmith that was going to do this but he declined due to the fact that he is a Remington factory warranty center and is swamped with warranty work.
When you order barrel and services from Krieger they require a minimum $200.00 deposit. At present they are 14 weeks out to make barrel at which time they notify you that they need your rifle, and then about 2 months to complete work. They dont want the stock, trigger, or bottom metal to do their work. When you ship make sure to insure the package and buy a inexpensive plastic type gun case to ship in.(also put guncase you purchase in proper size shipping box as well) You will find that the barrel by itself isnt that much, however, having the barrel fluted, fitted, parkerized, threadded for and muzzle break placed, and reciever and bolt "blueprinted" adds up.
Order your stock at the time your barrel is done as they dont, at this time, have the lead time most barrel makers have. You might also arrange for the rifle from the barrel company to be directly shipped to the stock company if you intend to have them fit and bed your rifle.
I've been shooting my Remmy 700 in bone stock configuration for a couple of months now and it is fairly accurate as is except for the "cold shot" and after several rounds when the thin factory barrel heats up. When the light weight factory barrel heats up accuracy goes out the window.
Also if your going to shoot out to 1000 yards make sure to get your scope mount with a + 20 moa cant.
Well thats my 2 cents worth. I'll be keeping an eye out for your posts on the progress and completion of your long range target rifle.

Dell believes that customers do not necessarily need to build new datacenters, and is now offering to show customers how to optimize their existing ones to extend their life span.
Dell says that its expertise in this area came about two years ago, when it discovered it had reached the capacity limits of its two datacenters in Austin Texas. Rather than going to the expense of simply building a new datacenter, the company instead looked at whether it was possible to squeeze more life out of its existing ones.
[ Check out these 11 tips for datacenter efficiency. And keep up on green IT trends with InfoWorld's Sustainable IT blog and Green Tech newsletter. ]
"Michael Dell looks at building new buildings in order to make money, and not making money in order to build buildings," explained Rick Becker, VP, Software and Solutions Enterprise Product Group at Dell.
Becker was one of the men charged with overseeing the redevelopment of Dell's datacenter resources. Dell estimates that its own datacenter optimization has internally reduced costs by more than $29 million.
"When we optimized our own datacenters, we learnt a lot of lessons," Becker told Techworld. "And now we want to share these lessons with our customers," he added. To this end, Dell is offering customers a datacenter optimization service.
Alongside the service, Dell is offering some simple advice, in line with the company's established policy of simplifying IT . This includes the decommissioning old servers, consolidate existing equipment; virtualize as much as possible, and re-equipping with new kit in order to take advantage of much better energy-efficient technology.
On the consolidation point, Dell points out that many companies have unnecessary servers running in their DCs, legacy of past projects, but which are not shut down because managers don't know what they are used for.
Becker said that with a 70 percent server volume reduction, coupled with an equipment refresh with energy-efficient products, a typical datacenter would see 50 to 70 percent less energy use.
Becker also makes it clear that he is also a big fan of virtualisation, and believes that this is one of the most important ways for companies to reduce their server sprawl and optimise their server resources. "At Dell in 2006, we only had 543 virtual machines. Now the number is over 5,000," he said.
"We will also ask customers to raise the temperature of their datacenters," said Becker, pointing to the fact that most datacenters are currently too cool.
Dell equipment can run at 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit). Indeed, Dell's equipment is certified to run at 29.4 Celsius (85 Fahrenheit), but Becker says that at 25.6 Celsius (78 Fahrenheit), it found that its fans ran at a greater speed and started impacting on energy cost savings.
By its own estimate, Dell believes it can help companies increase their DC computing capacity by 270 percent within the same power and space footprint, using less hardware. Its message then to the market is spend now, in order to save down the road.
But will anyone buy in to this argument considering the current economic climate?
Becker disagrees somewhat with the gloomy forecasts touted by IDC and Gartner . While everyone seems to agree that the industry won't experience the extreme cuts it suffered in 2001 after the dot-com bust, Becker feels that customers will not be holding off all their spending plans, especially if Dell can demonstrate real ROI (return on investment) within a 12 to 18 month period.
"Post September, IT has suddenly become the key enabler on how companies can remain viable," said Becker. "We can show the ROI that customers can achieve, plus we have financing options available.
If companies can reduce the amount of people needed (by adding in more automation), as well as trimming their real estate costs, there is much less expense. The finance guys absolutely get that. That is what we mean when we say, simplify and save," he said.

1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
Place all ingredients in grinder and grind evenly if you like - if not, mix well.
Store airtight.
When you want to use it - mix 1 tablespoon of this mixutre with olive oil (extra-virgin preferred). You can adjust the flavor the way you want.
Dip warm bread into mixture and enjoy!
If making subs/hoagies/panini sandwiches - I combine this mixture in a plastic bottle similar to a plastic ketchup or mustard bottle and shake and squeeze on the bread as a dressing. It can also be used with mayo/salad dressing on sandwiches for a little extra "zing" in the flavor.
I went to a beauty supply house and bought several different sizes of hair dye applicator bottles that I use in my pantry. You can cut the tips as large as you would like for many uses. Those bottles are used for salad dressings, chocolates, syrups, icing cookies with designs, BBQ sauces, etc. just use your imagination!
I've also posted that I've used it for sandwiches, etc. in the Superbowl thread in the Recipe Exchange.
If you try it - please let me know how you like it!
Life is God's gift to you......what you do with your life is your gift to God.

Focusing on the government shutdown is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while drawing closer to the iceberg.
The iceberg in this case is the massive government debt that will be made worse by the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Later this month, Congress will need to lift the debt ceiling from its current $16.7 trillion to keep the government solvent and enable the U.S. to continue paying its massive bills. In the meantime, as a result of the negotiations that led to sequestration, Congress had until the end of September (the end of the fiscal year) to reach a spending agreement.
It didn't, of course, and now the government has shut down. But what does the shutdown really mean?
The shutdown affects only "nonessential" services. That means 85% of government services are still being funded and 63% of federal employees are still working. Mail is being delivered, military personnel are still keeping us safe, and payments are still being made for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the countless other programs that we can't afford. Amtrak trains will continue running, so if your train is late, don't blame it on the shutdown.
