Sunlight can destroy pathogens in water, making it safe to drink. But how much sun is needed? The answer to this question can mean the difference between life and death.
Each day, 4,000 children around the world under the age of 5 die as a result of drinking contaminated water.
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to kill harmful pathogens in water such as cholera is to fill clean PET bottles with the suspect non-turbid water and place them in the sun. The sun's ultra-violet (UV) rays then go to work. This process is called Solar Water Disinfection (SODIS) and is already being used quite extensively in developing nations.
As for how long the bottle must stay in the sun, the answer is at least six hours – but it could be as much as 2 days or even more depending on cloud cover. Other factors influencing the time required include the distance from the equator, time of year and altitude.
For such an important process, it would be useful to know exactly when the bottle of water has been exposed to enough UV light – and such a device would need to be robust and very easy to use.
This is where WADI comes into play. It's a compact, solar powered UV-measurement device that requires no batteries.
WADI is placed next to the PET-bottles being exposed to sunlight, or screwed onto the top of a bottle. A flashing sad face initially displays on the WADI screen along with bar indicators showing the stage of the process. When the water is safe to drink, a flashing smiley face appears, accompanied by 5 bars.
Using WADI, a 99.9% reduction in common coliform bacteria in water has been reached in all tests. The device meets WHO (World Health Organisation) microbiological performance criteria for household water treatment.
The manufacturer of WADI, Helioz, provides a two-year guarantee; but expects the device to have a longer service life. Once the solar cell is no longer able to generate sufficient energy, the face and the progress bars on the display stop flashing, or are not visible at all.
Another device we've mentioned in the past that uses a smiley face disinfection indicator is Solvatten. It's around the same price as the WADI for personal buyers (EUR 30 – around AUD $45) and is an all-in-one solar water disinfection unit.

annpeeples Boy, that roast beef sandwich has my mouth watering. Just love food like that!!
Nancypalooza I thought that was going to be sour cream raisin too! So I'm guessing a sweetened condensed milk custardy version instead? That place looks like Pie Valhalla. So one serious question. When you are faced with an abundance like that, how do you decide? Do you have preexisting 'I will get this' rules or do you go more with what's in front of you?
hatteras04 I have been to Ben & Joy's a few times. My wife and I camp at Deer Creek state park right near there a lot and we've had dinner there a time or two and breakfast once. The breakfast was better as both times for dinner we got the buffet which was ok but not outstanding. Unfortunately, I've never gotten pie so I can't tell you if it is worth driving very far out of the way for. But we are probably going to go camping there starting next month so I'll check it out and let you know.
The Travelin Man I know that you were joking, but I went to Terry's Turf Club with CajunKing only to find the place closed.
NC Cheesehead I thought Charlotte NC. was the Queen city named after Queen Charlotte Mecklenberg. Did not realize there was a Queen Cincinnati.
Nancypalooza Yeah, the jamon iberico did seem . . . huh? . . TJ if you know more about the owner or originator, I'd love to hear more about that place. And now I want one of those burgers real bad! I love those murals Cliff--did you know anything about the artist before you went or you just knew they had art deco stuff?

Asian and Native American women are at an even greater disadvantage. Asians lack the enzyme in their liver to be able to break down alcohol. If you lack that system, then you don't detoxify alcohol as well.
The explanation for this missing enzyme is biological. It might be because in Asian cultures, instead of fermenting their drinkables, like making beer, they would boil the water to make tea. That meant they didn't have to have a system in their liver to get rid of the alcohol. They could just drink their water.

This book—the culmination of a truly collaborative international and highly interdisciplinary effort—brings together Japanese and American political scientists, nuclear engineers, historians, and physicists to examine the Fukushima accident from a new and broad perspective.
It explains the complex interactions between nuclear safety risks (the causes and consequences of accidents) and nuclear security risks (the causes and consequences of sabotage or terrorist attacks), exposing the possible vulnerabilities all countries may have if they fail to learn from this accident.
The book further analyzes the lessons of Fukushima in comparative perspective, focusing on the politics of safety and emergency preparedness. It first compares the different policies and procedures adopted by various nuclear facilities in Japan and then discusses the lessons learned—and not learned—after major nuclear accidents and incidents in other countries in the past. The book's editors conclude that learning lessons across nations has proven to be very difficult, and they propose new policies to improve global learning after nuclear accidents or attacks.

Reasons Why The Amish Mission Style Furniture Is So Popular
Posted on Jun 4 2012 at 06:27:59 PM in House & Garden
Amish Mission style furniture is done in the same traditions of construction and design that were used when they were first created, in the late 19th century. The simple horizontal and vertical lines, flat panels with simple designs, all tie together to accentuate every grain in the wood that was used to make each piece, by hand.
The History Behind Amish Mission Style Furniture
By the time the first pieces of Mission style furniture came about, it was in part a mission by furniture crafters to break away from the most prevalent style of the times, the Victorian style of furniture. People tired of its elaborate and ornate design, and were wanting something that would be unique and individual.
One of the top designers in that day was Gustav Stickley, who was also thought to be the founding influence in the Arts and Crafts furniture renaissance, out of which came the style of Amish furniture we still enjoy today. It was thought to be destiny when the Mission style furniture began being produced by Stickley and the Amish, as their handcrafting styles blended so seamlessly. To this day, the sturdy furniture style is still popular, and is all the better for their continued devotion to durability rather than ornate features.
Simple And Practical
One of the reasons that Mission style furniture remains so popular even today is its focus on making handcrafted furniture that is so simple and practical, yet created with such amazing detail. There are a lot of popular designs in this style that will fit into any décor, like dining and office furniture that just screams quality just by looking at it.
Quality Materials And Construction
Unlike the mass produced furniture of today, you will find only quality hardwoods used to create Mission style furniture. The craftsmanship shown in the joining of each piece with just the wood itself is nothing short of miraculous. All of this furniture is made to last a lifetime, and it shows.
A Dedication To Their Craft
Lastly, another reason that this style of furniture is so popular is because of their dedication to their faith, and through that, to their chosen craft. For their work to have survived from creation to now, when it was not created with anything resembling a modern convenience, is nothing short of remarkable, and should be treated with the respect that the Mission style furniture deserves.

ASTON MARTIN FACES NEW CHALLENGES AT LE MANS Gaydon, 3 June 2009. Aston Martin's debut in the LMP1 class at Le Mans this year coincides with a number of rule changes -- posing another challenge to the British team as it gears up for its ...
Gaydon, 3 June 2009. Aston Martin's debut in the LMP1 class at Le Mans this year coincides with a number of rule changes -- posing another challenge to the British team as it gears up for its campaign at the La Sarthe circuit on the 13-14 June.
Aston Martin Racing will enter three Gulf-liveried LMP1 prototypes, powered by the same production-derived V12 engine that has given the Aston Martin DBR9 victory in the GT1 class at the 24 Hours for the last two years.
However, diesel-powered cars have recently dominated the LMP1 category -- winning the endurance classic convincingly for the past three years. A number of changes have been introduced to try to bring the performance of the petrol cars closer to their diesel equivalents but Aston Martin will still have a mountain to climb. Diesel race engine technology is relatively new compared to petrol technology, so bigger steps in performance can be achieved making it easier to compensate for the changes imposed by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest.
With speeds at the circuit getting quicker year on year, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest -- which organises the race -- is also aiming to slow all the cars down, with a target lap time on the eight-mile track of around three and a half minutes.
The pit stop procedure has also been significantly altered in order to reduce tyre consumption and ensure that fewer mechanics are working in the busy pit lane. From this year, only two mechanics at any one time will be permitted to change tyres on the car using just one wheel gun -- which can only take place once refuelling is complete. When the tyre changes are over, the wheel mechanics have to return inside the garage and only then can four more mechanics carry out any further maintenance that is required, such as topping up fluids. The car will not be allowed to leave its pit stand until all the mechanics are back inside the garage.
The result of these new rules is to make pit stops considerably longer, which puts greater emphasis on a strategic approach to the race and encourages teams to limit the use of tyres. A pit stop this year will take around 15 seconds more than it did last year, adding up to several minutes over the course of the race.
There will be a maximum noise limit of 112 decibels and post-race scrutineering will also become stricter, with harsh penalties for competitors missing any parts of bodywork or car structure at the finish.
Some even more far-reaching changes are set to be introduced for the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2010, allowing homologation of hybrid technology cars, encouraging further use of hybrid technology such as KERS and reducing carbon emissions.
Aston Martin Racing Team Principal George Howard-Chappell commented: "The changes to the pit stop rules mean that the emphasis has switched to getting more out of a set of tyres, making it a good idea to do an extra stint on each set if you can. That obviously impacts on the whole tyre wear aspect of the car. In the end these new rules just provide another set of numbers to compute: they don't make a fundamental difference to the unique challenge of the race."
The Aston Martin Racing team is currently completing its final preparations for the epic contest before heading to France for the 24 hour race.

First-half strikes from Vincenzo Iaquinta and Antonio Di Natale set Udinese Calcio on course for a hard-fought 4-2 aggregate victory over Sporting Clube de Portugal.
First-leg lead
Already leading 1-0 after the first leg, the goals looked to have sealed the Italian side's place in the group stage. Roudolphe Douala reduced the deficit before the interval but despite earnest pressure, Sporting could not add another until added time through Mauricio Pinilla - a minute after Paulo Barreto had scored a third for Udinese.
Di Natale denied
The tie was effectively sealed in the first half as the home team began the match firmly on the front foot. Sulley Ali Muntari sent a left-footed effort just wide of the far post in the opening minutes and Di Natale was unfortunate to see another shot come back off the woodwork, albeit from an offside position.
Penalty déjà-vu
A goal seemed inevitable and it came in familiar fashion for Sporting, when Ricardo brought down Iaquinta inside the area on 23 minutes and the Norwegian referee Terje Auge pointed to the spot. The Italian striker, whose penalty was all that separated the teams a fortnight ago, picked himself up and fired in.
Goalkeeping error
Ricardo could do nothing about that, and was again powerless 12 minutes later when Cesare Natali headed in Muntari's cross. Udinese were cruising by this stage, but Douala provided the visitors with a faint glimmer of hope two minutes before half-time when he rifled a shot beyond the reach of Morgan De Sanctis.
Sporting substitutions
Sporting coach José Peseiro brought on Deivid de Souza and Edson at the start of the second half and the latter needed just three minutes to make an impact with a blistering strike. That spurred the visitors on and Rogerio forced De Sanctis into a good save.
Late goals
It proved Sporting's last real chance of salvaging their Champions League hopes and Barreto diverted Iaquinta's cross into the net to make it 3-1 in added time before Pinilla responded with a last-gasp consolation.

Facts and Events
Æthelberht (or Ethelbert; , meaning "magnificent noble") was the King of Kent from 858 and of Wessex from 860 to until his death in 865. He was the third son of Æthelwulf of Wessex and his first wife, Osburh. In 855 he became under-king of Kent while his father, Æthelwulf, visited Rome. His brother Æthelbald was left in charge of the West Saxons. After his father's death in 858 he succeeded him as king of Kent and the other eastern parts of the kingdom. When Æthelbald died childless in 860, the kingship of the West Saxons also passed to Æthelberht.
Like his father and brother he was also crowned at Kingston upon Thames. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle describes Æthelberht's reign as one of good harmony and lasting peace. Though this was true of internal affairs, the Vikings remained a great threat, unsuccessfully storming Winchester and ravaging eastern Kent.
One development was that Wessex and its recent south-eastern conquests became a united kingdom. Unlike his predecessors, Æthelberht did not appoint another member of his family as under-king of Kent. A charter issued in the first year of Æthelberht's reign reflects an extraordinary new kind of assembly: it was the first charter of a West Saxon king to include a full complement both of West Saxon and of Kentish witnesses.[1]
Æthelberht died in 865 and was succeeded by his brother Æthelred. He was buried at Sherborne Abbey in Dorset beside his brother Æthelbald.

In my view, there are five main items any kitchen cannot do without. One of those must-have items, is the classic 8inch Chef's knife. Unfortunately, getting your hands on a good chef's knife, can be a very expensive business with good chef's knives costing between $100-$200. Recently I came across a post in the Cool Tools Weblog recently spoke about a $27 dollar chef's knife worth taking a look at, and I though it was a good deal that had to be talked about:
A really great chef knife will be insanely sharp, yet retain its edge easily, and be well balanced and welcoming to hold. These days a decent high-grade chef knife can cost between $100-$200. Several cooking publications (including Cook's Illustrated) recently identified a bargain $27 chef knife that in their tests rated just about as good as the $100 plus knives. This is the one we use.
Cook's Illustrated is this fantastic ad-free cooking magazine that conducts tests and reviews everything they write about, from the best way to prepare a certain recipe to the best kitchen equipment, and when they say that the Victorinox knife rated nearly as high as the $100+ chef's knives, that's saying something.
You can find the Victorinox 40520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife

|You are in: Talking Point: Debates: South Asian
Friday, 19 January, 2001, 13:34 GMT
Tourism: opportunity or exploitation?
From the beaches of Goa to the mountains of Nepal, hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to South Asia each year.
This explosion in the tourist industry across the region has fundamentally changed the way of life of local communities.
Critics are concerned that tourism is not an opportunity for development in the region and may even be detrimental to traditional cultures and the environment.
Is tourism a golden opportunity for South Asia or a means of exploitation? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
This debate is now closed. Read a selection of your comments below.
Your reaction
Many tourists have contributed towards an understanding of the world's regions and have worked as bridges over cultural gaps. Vasco de Gama, Marco Polo, Columbus or a modern tourist travelling in the East - all are contributing something towards an understanding of our neighbours on this planet. Host countries should be proud that the people of the world find their country interesting and beautiful. Besides these tourists are paid guests. They are also ambassadors of love and trust from their own countries.
Rustam Roy, London, UK
Tourism has worked in two ways in Pakistan, especially in valley of Kalash. While those people are reaping the benefits of foreign money, on the other hand they are losing their cultural heritage of Kafir tribes. The Pakistani North has been polluted as tourism has grown in last few decades.
Bearing in mind our religious sentiments and culture, I think we need more family and organised group tourism.
Ajay Das, Kathmandu, Nepal
Tourism is an industry and just like
any industry it has to be regulated to be
beneficial to all - the tourists, the
places they visit and the employees
of tourism-based industries.
Entire countries thrive on tourist based
industries - but the infrastructure needs
to support it. At present the only
reason why people visit South Asia is
that it is cheap (relative to other
countries), drugs are freely available
and when it's 20 below zero everywhere else
the sun shines hotter than a furnace in
some of these places.
I'd definitely like to see better infrastructure, better service
and more money going back into preservation
of some of these spots (Taj Mahal, the tiger
reserves, Himalayas etc.).
Raja Dutta, USA
Tourism is good for the local economy but tourists have to be more responsible for not leaving behind scars of their visit especially on the environment and indigenous culture.
Tourism for the troubled countries in South Asia must be discouraged. Countries such as Sri Lanka are spending their revenue they get from tourism to suppress the minority community, who are fighting for their own rights.
I think Pakistan should not remain conservative while it is dealing with tourism. For tourists, everything they want must be provided so that they enjoy rather than fear to spend their vacations here, as is the case in Muslim Turkey.
Ajay Nityananda, India
Tourism should not be seen as an immediate opportunity, it should be the last resort to boost the local economy. It is senseless to give emphasis on tourism when there is other means of improving the local economy. It is self degradation to survive on money thrown out by those vacationers who are mostly looking for all kinds of pleasure when you can work and earn your living by doing some resource oriented economic activities.
Tourism can be good and bring about a lot of positive change. However there has to be a semi-decent structure in place to deal with the negative effects it could have on the environment. Pakistan for sure doesn't have anything like that in place, however, Pakistan could learn from India's experience, and try to develop something that encourages distribution of wealth to the local population whilst not harming or disturbing the environment too much.
If Mr Alipervaiz has ever been to Turkey he would know that it is far, far from being an Islamic nation, and that sort of ideology, where modernisation means westernisation is not the kind of path Pakistan should take. Modernisation doesn't meant westernisation or losing your culture and roots they way many Turkish people have. Turkey is no longer a 'model' state for Pakistan. If there ever was such a thing. Pakistan should work closer with India in issues of cultural preservation, and development especially if tourism is to be developed.
Alvipervaiz, USA
I think more tourism will be a boost to the sagging South Asian economies, especially those that originally showed remarkable growth but then slowed down. There will always be drawbacks but they will have to be manoeuvred around.
The only tourism I welcome is where hotels are set up by local people in the area with government aid (financial and management) so that it really does benefit the local people. Otherwise, there will be no benefit at all. Only the pollution of the locals' minds and culture.
Harsha Kumarawadu, Sri Lanka/ Japan
Goa attracts a large number of foreign as well as domestic tourists. If people have a mindset similar to Goa then tourism is bound to flourish all over the country. But with tourism comes drugs and other wrong activities. It is a package deal for any tourism place.
There should be a process in which we can actively curb these illegal activities and also care for the comfort and independence of the tourists.
It is part of the ancient Indian culture and tradition to extend athithi sathkar (hospitality to guests). That is slowly, surely and inevitably being eroded by the commercial exploitation of the tourism industry by both host and guests.
Most of the tourists are not sensitive enough to appreciate the turmoil they create by their intrusion into a society holding vastly different beliefs, values and attitudes.
Tourism definitely has a lot to offer the countries of Southeast Asia. However, a lack of infrastructure and the hassling of tourists as soon as they step off the "tour bus" discourages those who aren't willing to tough it out.
Having been to Goa twice, I can say that the only people benefiting from tourism are the big hotels and tour companies. I didn't see any evidence of wealth being created for the locals.
Dr Adam Nayyar, Pakistan/ USA
Change is the essence of life. If tourism has some contribution it has to be welcomed. It is not only the host that changes but the tourist benefits from the change as well. As for the environmentalist, the less said the better. Who knows tourism might even spurn the local communities to improve the environment? Remember they are all human and are entitled to their share of pollution and its prevention!
Tourism can be greatly beneficial for the local community IF managed properly by the authorities. Income can be used for the improvement and development of the local area, e.g. roads. If there are no controls, then it is exploitation.

AMHERST -- A special town hall meeting is planned for the end of February to highlight the growing drug problem in Lorain County and Ohio.
The forum is designed to give the public a chance to learn about how the county is fighting back and what services a person facing addiction has available to them, said Elaine Georgas, director of the Lorain County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board.
The meeting will include information about what families and the community can do to prevent opiate addiction.
Its focus is primarily on prescription pill and heroin addiction, Georgas said. Sixty people died from overdoses related to those types of drugs in 2012, almost triple the amount in 2011.
The point is to raise awareness of the epidemic sweeping the county and to give the public a chance to provide feedback and get questions answered, she said.
"We're hoping the public will come and learn with us and help us problem solve," she said.
The meeting is sponsored by a number of local and state drug prevention agencies and will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 21 in the multipurpose room of the Mercy Health and Recreation Center.
"We are going to have a panel of local experts as well as people that are dealing with the issue," she said.
The panel is expected to include Lorain County Coroner Stephen Evans, a member of law enforcement and emergency services, a recovered person and someone from the treatment system, Georgas said.
"They will be sharing from their perspective on what they see as the issues, but there will be plenty of time for questions and comments from the audience," she said. "That is the main focus of the event."
Georgas said anyone looking for more information can contact her at 282-9920.

The Dorper breed was developed out of necessity. During the early 1930's, South African farmers exported a surplus of mutton and lamb, from the fat tailed indigenous breeds, to London's prestigious Smithfield Market. The carcasses were rejected because the European consumers were accustomed to the high quality New Zealand Canterbury lamb.
The South African Meat Board took on the challenge of
According to Dr. Q. Campbell in his book "Making Money with Mutton Sheep", "One of the most successful crosses of exotic rams bred to adapted ewes proved to be the Dorset Horn X the Blackhead Persian".
The Blackhead Persian sheep, a hardy, fat-tailed desert breed from Arabia, brings to the Dorper its hardiness, thriftiness, adaptability, pigmentation and hair covering. It also brings remarkable fertility, with the ability to breed every eight months and to produce a high number of twins. In addition, the Persians have very valuable skins used in the production of fine leather products. The Dorset Horn rams crossed with Blackhead Persian ewes produced fast growing and heavily muscled lambs yielding very satisfactory economic returns under a variety of environmental conditions. The Dorper ewes from this cross were excellent mothers that could be bred in any season.
In the early 1950's, a controversy arose concerning black markings vs. a pure white sheep. Some breeders preferred a white sheep, called the Dorsian, while others chose to select for confirmation rather than color and use the black markings as their trademark. In 1964, the controversy was settled when the blackhead and white Dorper breeders united into one association calling the black head sheep Dorpers and with the unmarked being called White Dorpers.
The modern day Dorper is numerically the second largest breed in South Africa with over 10 million head (over 1/3 of the total number of sheep). In recent years, the Dorper has become popular in the Middle East, China, Canada, Australia, South America, Mexico and the United States, where it is among the fastest growing breeds.

The American Dorper Sheep Breeders Society was organized in December of 1995. In October of 1996 the first event was held in Cameron, Texas with attendees from Mexico, Canada, South Africa and several regions of the United States. The first business meeting was held and a board of directors was elected. By December 1996, the organizational by-laws were formalized and the Society was incorporated.

" Brand: Waitrose / Type: Sugar "
Lavender is actually a plant which is in the same family as all the major herbs we use in cooking which is why it is so delicious when eaten, as well as in all the other uses we more traditionally think of. I must admit until recently I associated it with little bags my gran used to make with old remnants, which she would then place in my drawer to snuggle up to my socks!-but you can eat it -honestly, and it is even very popular in the finest restaurants in the world.
Cooking with lavender is something I have done ever since I went on holiday to The Isle of Skye some years ago when our journey took us across the scenic ferry which runs from Glenelg to Kylerhea. The valley in Glenelg was home to a wonderful tearoom which was a retreat nestled in the shelter of the peace and quiet. Here they served lavender shortbread which tasted divine as you sat in serenity amidst nothing but the sound of chimes -delicate bells in the wind.
On returning home I scoured recipe books and the internet for ideas, and it wasn't long before I came across what was to be a staple ingredient for any lavender recipe, "Lavender Sugar." The one I love is sold in Waitrose and is £3.99 for 300g. This sounds expensive but you really don't need much.
Presented in a lovely kilner jar this will keep fresh for years. It looks lovely on the shelf and reminds me of the bottled fruit my gran used to make when greengages were in season. Part of the Cooks Ingredients range, which I have to compliment Waitrose on, because I have found many very useful items in here. The front of the jar describes the product as a sprinkle of lavender sugar, and it also states that it is fair-trade.
So as you look into the jar you see lovely shimmering sugar crystals with a fragrant aroma provided by copious amounts of lavender flowers. The smell is very strong and you wonder what on earth anyone would do with it, as some would say it should be reserved for old ladies!
My advice is to use it sparingly. Don't substitute all the sugar in a recipe because it will be too strong and overpowering, what you are looking for is a hint of lavender and a delicate summer flavour. So what do I use it for?
The first thing I do is to simply sprinkle it over a Victoria sandwich as a topping. This is a lovely simple decoration and it looks really pretty. If you read my review on my Lemon and Lavender Mothers day cake you will know that I also use it in this very simple but delicious recipe for a spring cake, which is full of flavour and is perfect to serve at this time of year.
Making Lavender shortbread is really simple and here is a recipe I have adapted
100g unsalted butter, softened
30g caster sugar
20g lavender sugar
100g plain flour
50g corn flour
Grated rind of one lemon
A pinch of lavender sugar to sprinkle after baking
Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until soft and creamy. Then add the lemon rind and the flours. At this point the mixture will be crumbs and you have to gather it together with your hands into a ball. You can be quite firm and then you transfer it into an 8 inch loose bottomed cake tin and press it down firmly.
Bake at 160C/gas 3 for 30-35 minutes until light golden. Mark the shortbread into 12 wedges and then leave to cool in the tin. I have some just coming out of the oven in 5 minutes so I'll let you know how they are at the end of this article.
Of course you can also grow lavender, dry the flowers, and make your own lavender sugar, it isn't hard to do and having dried the flowers you simply crush in a pestle and mortar and add to sugar. This saves money and is fun to do.
Another wonderful thing is to add a small amount of the sugar to fresh cream. This is wonderful on apple pie and gooseberry crumble, and it really makes a change and looks like you have made something really different.
Lavender sugar is a really convenient and easy way to produce home made cakes and biscuits which have something really special about them. Don't be frightened of trying it as so long as you use it sparingly you will be delighted with the results.
French farmers even graze lambs on fields of lavender to make their meat floral, and although I wouldn't want to eat any being veggie, it is certainly testament to something which is providing great flavour and quality.
So here I am with my tea pot and shortbread slice freshly out of the oven. My goodness these are so much nicer in cooking than wasted in sock drawers! They melt in your mouth and the taste of the sugar is divine. Sprinkle a little more sugar on when you take them out of the oven and you will soon have shortbread to die for! The house smells lovely too and the biscuit is floral and fragrant.
Lavender sugar is part of a range sold by Waitrose which also includes vanilla sugar which is also a real asset to any kitchen.

They'll really make an idol group out of anything, won't they? As if old men and radioactive girls weren't enough, now there is an idol group for girls with crooked teeth. To clarify: in Japan, there's been a recent trend where girls get their upper canine teeth capped by a dentist, making those two teeth crooked. It's called tsuke yaeba, and and supposedly it's thought to be cute.
Three eighteen-year-old girls -- Nana, Mio, and Rika -- were recruited from a dental clinic specializing in tsuke yaeba. Naturally, the group is named TYB48, because there's no way to be an idol group if you're not attempting to cash in on AKB48's name. The group's debut concert was in Akihabara on April 30, and if you're really into this sort of thing, you can buy their first CD, Mind If I Bite? I wish I was making that up.
Apparently the group's organizers hopes the group will skyrocket in popularity and encourage other girls to undergo the dental procedure. Damn you, Japanese dentists, for ruining people's smiles!

After coming across an article on MMA fighters getting tissue implants from donors, I'm curious to know where the cadavers come from? Are they from any deceased organ donor? How about the tissue used to create a tissue matrix like AlloDerm? Hoping to shine some light in reference to a RealSelf blog post.
Where Does Donor Tissue Come From for Plastic Surgery?
Doctor Answers 3
Alloderm source
Alloderm is a tissue matrix from allogenic dermis. This means it comes from the dermis of someone other than the recipient. Alloderm is derived from cadaveric skin. It is harvested with a dermaplaner and stripped of antigenic proteins via a proprietary process. This means the company uses methods to remove donor cells and potential pathogens from the material. This material is indeed gained from deceased individuals. I am not certain where the cadavers originate from, but I am certain that either the donor or a family member has given permission to use this tissue. The skin is an considered an organ so am assuming this material is from organ donors.
Where does AlloDerm come from?
AlloDerm comes from human cadavers. It is the dermal tissue with all cells removed, so it's non-antigenic. It is harvested by hand now, I believe, to allow for larger grafts to be produced (it used to be harvested by dermatome).
There are other types of dermal matrices available, such as Strattice (also made by LifeCell, the company that makes AlloDerm). Strattice comes from a porcine source (pig skin). Surgimend (TEI Biosciences) comes from a bovine source (cow skin). There is another one that comes from porcine small intestinal mucosa (pig intestine)--Surgisis (Cook Medical). There are others, too, but I think I've listed all the sources (human, pig, cow).
Alloderm is a dermal matirx that comes from cadaver skin. This is then treated to remove any pathogens.

Currently the only locking dialogs that work with AppleTV are the numeric password and full-text password dialogs. Both of these provide minimal security since anyone observing the screen during password entry can discover the password. The gamepad button combo dialog solves this problem and is more secure, but it doesn't currently work with the AppleTV remote.
I'd like to add support for buttons on the Apple TV remote to the gamepad button combo (up/down/left/right/play).
What do you think?

Christie's has announced that it will host a special preview of works from New York's upcoming sales of South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art on August 20-21 at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi (exact timings to be confirmed on www.christies.com). The public exhibition will comprise 14 masterworks from the sale, which will include highlights from the greatly anticipated auction of works from the Collection of Shumita and Arani Bose.
A Pioneering Vision:
Works from the collection of Shumita and Arani Bose will be offered on September 17, 2014 in New York. In the two decades since co-founding the New York based Bose Pacia, the first gallery in the West specialising exclusively in contemporary South Asian art, Shumita and Arani Bose have nurtured, supported and promoted India's
most important avant garde artists. Carefully curated by these internationally renowned tastemakers, the Collection of Shumita and Arani Bose is one of the most comprehensive and distinguished in the West. This iconic and eclectic selection will offer 26 illustrious masterpieces by modern masters such as Vasudeo S. Gaitonde, Francis Newton Souza and Bhupen Khakhar, alongside international contemporary superstars.
Bhupen Khakhar
Jagdish Swaminathan
Among the highlights of the sale and the New Delhi exhibition is Vasudeo S. Gaitonde's Untitled, painted in 1971. Gaitonde is recognised as having been an innovator and stands apart from his Indian contemporaries for his espousal of a purely abstract aesthetic in art. The work to be offered in September showcases Gaitonde as a painter, philosopher and alchemist at the zenith of his career. His fully matured and resolved style creates a harmonious symphony of the abstract, minimalist and conceptual aesthetic. The auction record for a work by Gaitonde was set last year during the inaugural Christie's sale in Mumbai when his Untitled work sold for Rs 23,70,25,000 ($3,792,400).
Syed Haider Raza
Manjit Bawa
This sale will also include Francis Newton Souza's monumental masterpiece The Butcher, painted in 1962 whilst living in London, where his talent and reputation were firmly cemented. Also showing in New Delhi, The Butcher represents the
apex of the raw, expressionist style that characterised Souza's works in this series and is influenced by the works of El Greco and Goya as well as the Romanesque paintings and Catalonian frescos he saw on an earlier visit to Spain. Souza's painting focuses on the agent of butchery casting him as a symbol of the tragic destiny of man, forever damned to suffer in torment. This epic painting on black satin is one of the largest to come to auction, a seminal work that captures the shocking and powerful grotesque for which Souza is celebrated.Following the auction of A Pioneering Vision is the South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art sale, which will feature 70 lots, offering iconic works by leading modernist masters Manjit Bawa, Syed Haider Raza, and Jagdish Swaminathan. The sale will be led by Manjit Bawa's monumental masterpiece Untitled (Durga). Bawa distilled figuration to its most elemental components, giving primacy to line by evoking elements of Kalighat painting while simultaneously exploring the saturated and gem-toned hues of miniature painting. Bawa was influenced by ancient mythology and Hindu literature and in the present work he depicts Durga, the female supreme deity, mounted on the back of her lion. Bawa's use of space and color creates a mesmerising composition conjuring a window into a world of imagination, myth, mysticism and magic. This will be an additional highlight of the New Delhi exhibition.

Marvel's doing the tease thing again this week. First up, we'll humor them with their X-team Plinko game, where we slowly watch mutants fall into the teams and books they'll be in after X-Men: Schism wraps up and divides mutantkind again. Sure seem to be a lot of X-books even though mutantkind is supposed to be going extinct. That schtick may change. But here are the new teases on that front.
As we can see, Colossus will remain the Juggernaut for a while, and his little sister Magik is coming along in the Uncanny X-Men line, which supposedly follows Cyclops' example, while Wolverine's got Iceman in his fold. Hope is teaming up with Sebastian Shaw while Warlock and Sunspot are kickin' it with Nate Grey. Deadpool's sticking around X-Force, natch (although Rick Remender has hinted that Nightcrawler there may not be the Age of Apocalypse version everyone thinks he is), while Storm and Thunderbird (or Warpath or whatever he's going by these days) will be hanging around Jubilee for some reason. Havok's joining Shatterstar, Wolfsbane and Layla Miller over in X-Factor, but nobody on Rogue's team is enlightened yet. We may get more tomorrow on that front.
FRIDAY UPDATE: It is tomorrow, and we have gotten more. Kitty Pryde will be going off with Wolverine, which means Colossus' Juggernaut move will likely drive a wedge between them (or, y'know, they're just on different teams). Also, don't miss Toad hanging out in Wolvie's background, too. Also, no goddamn surprise, Gambit is hanging around Rogue again. She can't get away from that guy. Rictor and Monet are sticking around X-Factor, too.
Anyway, there's your X-stuff. Also being teased is yet another Fear Itself tie-in, this one entitled Fearless. Marvel has said that Valkyrie is about to move up a tier or two as far as her general profile goes, and this looks like it might be the first step, as she will apparently be pitted against Sin to determine the fate of the world. Take a look.

For those caught using illegal fireworks, injuries could be the least of your concerns
Fireworks are a Fourth of July tradition and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety is urging consumers to use extra precautions when lighting and watching fireworks.
In Minnesota any firework that leaves the ground or explodes is illegal. These include bottle rockets and Roman candles.
"Have fun with your fireworks but be safe and only use the fireworks that are legal in Minnesota," State Fire Marshal Bruce West said in a recent press release. "It takes only one incident to cause irreversible damage."
Although the National Fire Prevention Agency would prefer consumers not use fireworks, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety released a list of tips to make home firework shows safer and more enjoyable.
The public safety department also urges parents to remember there is no such thing as a safe firework.
Sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
They also caused 24 percent of the total number of firework-related injuries in 2011 according to the 2011 Firework Annual Report.
In 2011 fireworks caused nearly 18,000 fires and 9,600 separate injuries that required an emergency room visit, according to John Hall writing for the National Fire Protection Association.
Children and teens are the highest risk for injury.
According to the Minnesota State Fire Marshal Division, 18 percent of firework related injuries occurred to children ages nine and younger. That number jumps to 41 percent when children ages 10 to 19 are included in the data.
If illegal fireworks are present and the owner does not have a license to use them, state law enforcement has the right to confiscate the items. A $700 fine and up to 90 days in jail may also be enforced. If the gross weight of illegal fireworks is more than 35 pounds, a $3,000 fine and up to one year in jail may be enforced.

George Lopez, wife Ann getting divorced
Further proof that celebrities cannot maintain normal human relationships is on display as George Lopez and his wife, Ann, announced their split Monday. So what if she gave him a kidney in 2005? He has a TV show now, you know.
"George and Ann Lopez have made the decision to end their 17-year marriage," a rep for George told People. "The decision is amicable and by mutual agreement. They remain dedicated parents, and committed partners in business and their philanthropic organization, The Lopez Foundation."
They were married in 1993 and have a daughter, Mayan. Ann gave a kidney to George after he suffered the onset of renal failure that was caused by a congenital defect. We can't wait to see how that's handled in the settlement papers.

Photos are for members only!!
Peachmate is a 100% free sex site for adults looking for fun with no strings attached.
Escort ads, casual sex groups, personal ads, video chat and much more.
First of all, if you can't handle some sarcasm and a bizarre sense of humor, you're probably not my type. Save your time, click the back button and find yourself some boring guy. Best of luck !
Now congratulation to those that are still here ! You, now, are one step close to finding your kick ass samurai. Pff knights in shining armor are lame !
I am comfortable in my own skin, but I'm trying to conform and wear clothes. I'm the type of guy who isn't afraid to make the first move; whether it's kissing you in the rain or just holding your hand while we walk.
I have a unique taste in food, but if you make me a killer tiramisu, I may just break my rule about buying girls roses. But first you'd have to prove your dance skills with me. I'm starting to learn Salsa, and a partner who knows how to move their body is key (think you can keep up?).
In my experience, brunettes do it better. It seems like blondes are always ready to jump me regarding this argument. They'll be glad to hear that I'm definitely a lover not a fighter; but don't get any ideas because I'm a fighter too.
Every other guy wants to date a model. I would rather date a BARISTA, so I can get the perfect cup of coffee in the morning when I wake up ... and a CHEF for exquisite meals ... and a BARTENDER for some mind-blowing drink. However, I often run into a bit of problem trying to keep them in the same kitchen without them biting each other head off.
The reason I'm on here because I secretly enjoy screening and judging people I've never met. Don't even lie, you like to do that too. Fortunately enough, I have psychic power and plenty of magic to help that cause. You're probably rolling your eyes and say "Really now?" but that's for you to find out if you're lucky enough, and I mean really lucky ;)
Now that you survive all the way to this point, you probably are smiling like it's the best day of your life and can't wait to meet me. So stop stalking, cut the "girls shouldn't make the first move" bullsh*tand hit the MESSAGE button. I like a girl who isn't afraid to be honest with herself and going after what she wants :)
PS: I'm aware of how white girls crave for exotic foods, but just a reminder, I'm not an Asian piece of meat. I have feelings too.

Since last Wednesday I've been working on a deadline to get edits to my publisher. And sadly that meant I didn't have time to blog. I missed Thursday, and I'm very late with this posting.
Now, I'd promise that will never happen again, but I can't do that. If there's one thing I've learned is sometimes I have no control over my time. Wait a minute, of course I'm free to choose where I devote my time, but other factors come into play. What I need is a reboot on my organizing skills.
I know I can write blog posts ahead of time, but lately I just have been unable to carve the time out of my schedule to do even that.
SOOO I'm asking you for advice. What helps you organize your time so you can do all the things you want to? Seriously, I've love to know.

Raleigh, N.C. — Gov. Pat McCrory says he has full confidence in Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos despite a spate of recent stories questioning the credentials of those hired as contractors and senior administrative positions.
"I'm not going to get distracted into the detailed operations for which my secretaries are responsible," McCrory said Wednesday.
Regarding Wos, he said, "I've never met a more dedicated harder working public servant in my 25 years of public service." Asked if Wos had his full support, McCrory said "absolutely."
Recent DHHS hires that have been in the news have included:
- Margaret "Mardy" Peal, who will make $95,000 as senior planner despite having little by way of publicly verifiable public policy experience. Peal was a donor to the McCrory campaign and briefly involved in the start up of a tea party group.
- Joe Hauck, who records show the state health agency paid $228,000 for work done from late January through August to advise the secretary on "strategic planning. Hauck is a long-time employee of Wos' husband.
- A pair of young former campaign staffers given high-paying and high-profile jobs within the department.
Asked about Peal, McCrory said, "I don't know Mardy. Well, I may have met her. I may know her, but I'm not sure if I do."
Asked if he was concerned about the scrutiny DHHS has faced, McCrory said it was that scrutiny itself that is the problem.
"I do want to say one concern I have right now, and I will say I read the article today, one concern I have in the future for all the future hires that my cabinet secretaries have to make is that is – I'm extremely concerned at the deep –" McCrory said, pausing.
He then re-started his thought.
"I'm very concerned in hiring future people who want to come into state government for a temporary amount of time, the intrusion into their personal life by people, political operatives and others, that will distract people from wanting to be engaged in public service for a year or two," he said. "That's my one concern about what I read this morning."
The salary, recent raises and other information about how much public employees made are public records, as are the contracts given to contract employees.

Letters 04.07.13
BY The Editors
April 7-20, 2013 Issue | Posted 4/1/13 at 4:28 PM
Good Wishes and Prayers
Regarding the election of Pope Francis ("Habemus Papam!" March 24 issue):
Congratulations to Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, who is now Pope Francis. He deserves our best wishes, but even more than that, our prayers. He will have a difficult task in a world that clamors for change, while God's truth and the Gospel never change.
I am very happy at the name Cardinal Bergoglio chose: that of St. Francis. This name signifies a desire for service and compassion that even President Obama recognized when he congratulated the new Pope as a "champion of the poor."
Yet, as important as Cardinal Bergoglio's heart for the downtrodden may be, much more important is his new task of keeping the Church close to Christ.
In fact, the story of the original St. Francis, who lived in 12th-century Italy, begins with a vision: As Francis was praying in the dilapidated chapel of San Damiano, he heard a voice saying, "Francis, repair my Church, which has fallen into disrepair!"
At first, he took this commandment literally, thinking he was to rebuild broken walls and stonework. But he soon came to understand that God was calling him to something much more: to call his fellow believers back to the radical simplicity of the Gospel.
Much as St. Francis is venerated today, in his time he was scorned as foolish and impractical. In the same way, those who now hold to traditional Catholic values — that is, the Gospel values of faithfulness in marriage and reverence for life — are often scorned as old-fashioned and intolerant. Pope Francis' predecessor wrote to me in a personal letter that "such convictions will inevitably arouse hatred, even persecution. The Lord has predicted it. But with him we must continue in trying to overcome evil through good."
These prophetic words may not be comforting, but they should encourage those of us who call ourselves Christian — even if non-Catholic, as I am — to pray for the new Pope. He will certainly be in my prayers.
Johann Christoph Arnold
Senior Pastor
Bruderhof Communities
We Have a Pope!
Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a man rich in spiritual passion, humility, self-denial and love for the cause of God and of man. As Pope Francis, he brings to the papacy a brilliant philosophical and, in particular, theological mind that has embraced a vision of broad spiritual and ecclesiastical horizons: personal holiness, missionary outreach combined with constant concern for unity, and the necessary integration of spirituality and institutional ministry.
His episcopal motto, "Miserando atque Eligendo," has strengthened and guided him in his tireless and uncompromising efforts aimed at defending and promoting the Catholic faith and its morals against modern errors in an age in which the Catholic Church has suffered unprecedented persecution and martyrdom.
The new Pope has also worked to encourage studies aimed at increasing knowledge of the faith so that the new problems arising from the progress of science and civilization can be answered in the light of the word of God.
The aim for which he has always strived has been to serve the truth, seek to know it ever more thoroughly and make it ever more widely known.
May the Lord lavish his choicest heavenly reward upon our new Vicar of Christ Francis.

Eventful 2013
First, I would like to congratulate you on your print issues since the beginning of this most eventful year. Your coverage, especially of the March for Life and the stepping down of Pope Benedict XVI, has been excellent.
Next, I would like to comment on the letter from Michael Rachiele (Jan. 13 issue) on the subject of the liturgy.
While I appreciated the response by Stephen Matusheski (Feb. 24 issue), I thought a few more observations were in order: Mr. Rachiele seems to be laboring under the delusion that before Vatican II all Masses had beautiful Gregorian chant, reverently paced Latin prayers and great homilies.
Unfortunately, this wasn't so in most parishes.
When I was a child in the 1950s, my suburban parish had a mediocre choir that sang sloppy, sentimental hymns or garbled Latin chants that were not at all Gregorian, accompanied by an organist who played everything at funeral-dirge pace.
So it was a great relief to a lot of us when these choirs recognized their limitations and began to sing simple melodies that we could all participate in. My parents' rural parish has a folk choir that's very pleasant to listen to and sing along with — and I will never forget that the first performance of Silent Night was accompanied by a guitar when the parish organ broke down.
I also remember trying to follow the liturgy in my missal, but usually lagging two or three pages behind the priest, as he raced through the Latin prayers at top speed. There were times when I gave up trying and emulated all those old ladies saying the Rosary. So it really was an improvement when the priest had to turn around and slow down so that we could all understand and participate.
Mr. Rachiele's repeated use of "veils" implies that he thinks laywomen came to church dressed like nuns. In fact, the required head covering was usually a hat, a scarf, a mantilla (a little lace doily known as a "chapel veil" that we wore with our school uniforms) or, if nothing else was available, a piece of Kleenex — the absurdity probably led to the rule being abolished.
However, I agree that everyone — both men and women — should dress modestly for Mass. When I see the congregation of a Baptist church wearing their Sunday best, I feel embarrassed for us Catholics.
If everyone reading this would dress themselves and their children well for every Mass, it would set a good example without scolding anyone.
There are many good parishes out there. (In mine, many people don't dress very well — we're working on it — but people are very reverent, the song leaders and organist are great, and the Eucharistic ministers are very much needed, since we only have one priest.) I'm sure Mr. Rachiele can find one that will suit him.

The story "Bearing Christ, Engaging the World" in the March 10 edition of the Register reported that Gregory Vall, now an assistant professor of theology at Ave Maria University, had attended the 1988 Erasmus Lecture delivered by then-Cardinal Ratzinger. Vall actually read a published version of the lecture and a transcript of a roundtable discussion following the address. We apologize for the error.
