DWTS Season 10 – The ET Interview…
…with Susan Lucci, Cameron Matheson and Rebecca Budig. I don't think this particular interview really reveals anything. Cameron clearly uses the word IF on number of occassions. That said, I prefer the "evil" idea of putting her with Maks to see if she could try to push him around. 🙂
For those of you not convinced (or properly terrified of the idea) of Kate Gosselin, I present this (please god false) tidbit of information from Extra:
Giving new meaning to the phrase 'shake it mama,' mom of six Kate Gosselin is reportedly lacing up her dancing shoes to compete on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
Intrepid entertainment reporter and co-host of Los Angeles' KEARTH 101's morning show Lisa Stanley reports Kate is practicing her two step at the famed Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Stanley says the reality show star is "under a shroud of security," boning up on her bossa nova at the posh hotel.

I installed ubuntu 10.04.12 in my Dell Inspiron 15 Lap Top ,but sound not working.Is there any one to help me
Kesavan Namboothiri,Calicut,Kerala
This is a guide to running Linux with the Dell Studio 15 laptop.
This guide is intended to provide you details on how well this laptop works with Linux and which modules you need to configure. For details on how to actually install and configure the required modules have a look at our guides section for distribution specific instructions.
This page is just for discussing using Linux on the Dell Studio 15. For a general discussion about this laptop you can visit the Dell Studio 15 page on LapWik.
If you would like to edit this page please first view our Editing Guidelines.
For full specifications see the Dell Studio 15 specifications page.
|Dell Studio 15
|Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 2.16GHz (various CPU - example also P8400)
|15.4" WXGA Widescreen (also WXGA+)
|Optical Drive
|ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 / 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
|Ethernet, Dell 1397 802.11abg (or Intel 5100/5300agn), Bluetooth
|Optical Drive
|See notes

|Card Reader
|ExpressCard Slot
|Not Tested
|Uses the uvc driver
The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 works with the openGL driver radeonhd. Proprietary ATI modules provide full support. Instructions for doing this is available in the guides section of this site.
The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 has no information yet.
The VGA out successfully drives an external monitor (tested on openSUSE-11.1 with proprietary ati driver and KDE-4.3.2).
The Dell 1397 wireless controller found in the Studio 15 laptop is supported by a hybrid driver released by Broadcom. More information can be found at http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2008/10/03/linux-driver-available-for-dell-wireless-cards.aspx.
The drivers are available at http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php.
The Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN and 5300AGN wireless can also be procured with this laptop. They both require the 2.6.27 kernel to function (tested on openSUSE-11.1 and openSUSE-11.2).
Headset sound (both side jacks), integrated and external mic and speaker sound, to function properly in terms of appropriate muting and unmuting requires an alsa version more recent than 1.0.18a. (See Discussion below) HDMI audio not functioning yet.
The bluetooth should work with the latest Ubuntu kernel. If you are not using the latest Ubuntu kernel, you must apply the patches described here:
All of the laptop's basic features are supported by Linux. Dell ships Ubuntu with some versions of the Studio line.
I installed ubuntu 10.04.12 in my Dell Inspiron 15 Lap Top ,but sound not working.Is there any one to help me
Kesavan Namboothiri,Calicut,Kerala
I installed Ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine but the fan stays on. Anyone know of a fix for this.
10.4 on studio 1575 works fine, however, suspend to RAM occasionally stops working (all that happens is the screen is locked), but can be fixed with a hard restart.
Everything on my dell 1558 works fine, but the fan stays on all the time. Anyone else have the same problem en hopefully a fix?
Installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my dell 1558. Everything except the wireless worked. After installing Broadcom STA wireless drivers everything worked fine.
hey !
i installed ubuntu 10.10 inmy dell studio 1555, i found the bluetooth not working. before this i had ubuntu 10.04, which was working perfectly fine.. any idea?
I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my studio 1537.Everything is working fine except the audio.I tried a lot to get audio working but in vein. Someone please help me.
Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series].
hi everyone
i have 3 questions-
1Q:-how to install ubuntu in preinstalled windows7 in c:?
2Q:-Is after installing ubuntu 10.04,I have to install all the drivers?
3Q:-from where i may download drivers for dell 1440?
looking for REPLY…..
First google the drivers you'll be needing and save them in a hardrive or a pendrive. Also research on HOW to install them (how to untar them, build modules, etc) Once You have the drivers for all the devices you'll need, install a basic version of Linux. Then get all your drivers working as you researched before.
The most important thing is to get your Internet working (be it wireless or wired, depends on your tastes and capabilities), then, if you have any driver problems, you'll be able to search solution through the Internet WITH your Linux machine, which will allow you to post terminal outputs and all sort of things that will help you get your problems solved.
Good luck!
i install open suse after installation i have 2 menu 1.opensuse 2.failsafe when i enter to open suse i dont see screen and lcd is black but when i enter to failsafe all of them are ok and i can work with opensuse.my notebook is dell studio1555.maybe lcd monitor is unknown for opensuse?why it work at failsafe?please help me?
I just got my Studio 15 with 1080p display, and I'm having several serious issues. Installed Ubuntu 10.04 and resume from suspend never works. I tried the LiveCD for 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04, and the display only works for 10.04, which doesn't help, since I'm trying to see if suspend works in 9.x. This sucks big time!
Hi everyone,
I bought a dell studio15 laptop recently. It has Win7 but for my project i am using an open source which(including its modules and plugins) has been tested on ubuntu9.10. So i need to insatll ubuntu9.10, at the same time i want to use WIN7 too.. so is it possible to install both..?? actually my friend(having Lenovo) tried to install ubuntu9.10 but was unsuccessfull in his attempt. Please enlighten me..
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, it is possible to have both Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7 on the same hardisk at the same time. I have a Dell Studio 15 and I am running Windows Vista as well as Ubuntu 9.10 on the same system. It works fine.
All you need to do is install Windows 7 first and then install Ubuntu 9.10. The reason for installing Ubuntu 9.10 at last is because the grub will be install by Ubuntu. Windows does not support multiple OS boot(it does if only the other OS are Windows; otherwise it does not). Hence, leave a free space for Ubuntu 9.10 and install Windows 7. Once, Windows 7 is installed. Install Ubuntu 9.10 in the space which was left empty.
In case, you have any further problem. Reply back to this. And I will try and help you out
thanks a lot Abhijit, for the quick response. I have done the partition of my hard disc as follows: C: (=⇒has WIN7) L: (I am planning to install Ubuntu(linux) on this partition).
Actually I am not clear what do you mean by free space exactly, are you talking about the unallocated space(which is achieved when we do partition but we do not create a partition of it) or free partition(its a partition but has no data in it)..?? Sorry about the dumb questions but i need to know this. please help me out.
Well, by free space I mean the unallocated space. Anyways, since you have create a L: drive for installing Ubuntu 9.10. You can go ahead with that.
Hope this is not the first time you are installing Linux. If so, let me take you through the steps:
1. While installing Ubuntu 9.10, you need to create a mount point, which will be /
2. You will need to create a swap area, which can be around 1 GB in space.
3. Once you have done with steps 1 and 2. You are all set to install Ubuntu 9.10
In case, any further doubts let me know…
Unfortunately, this is the first time I am installing Linux. Can you please explain how do we create a mount point and how to create a swap area in detail..??
I mean is there any procedure or we just need to mention it while installing Ubuntu9.10 ??
Also, in addition to the above doubts, I want to ask you that someone told me that the swap area should be double the RAM. In my case it is 3GB. So whether the swap area of 1GB space is enough or do i need make it around 6GB ??
the swap space used to be recommended as double ram, but with more than 1 gig of installed ram or so, its less of an issue, i have ran a two gig machine that never ran more than 180meg or so of swap space. My studio has 4 gig of ram installed, has a gig of swap, and currently with ubuntu 10.04 beta 1 its running a terminal, and firefox, and its using 146meg of swap (not sure why, is using 1.2gig of memory (according to top), much of its is cache (448Meg) and buffers (55Meg). In any case, i would recommend only a 1 gig swap with 3 gigs of memory, otherwise youll be wasting disk space.
you can use gparted disk utility to resize your windows 7 space (if 7 is similiar to vista) so you dont have to wipe and reinstall…..
can anyone tell me if ubuntu will run on a studio 1555 with an intel graffics card chipset series 4 and the intel wireless n wifi card? also it has the intell premium srs sound. i hate windows 7 the last update just ticked me off to the point that i dont care if i cant use my paid for microsoft office or not.
hey guys
what about power management and battery life?
i have a dual boot system (win7 and arch linux)
in windows, the battery last up to 3h or more and in linux, just 2h
how's the battery life for you?
With Archlinux 64B and using cpufrequtils, I think I have near 3 hours of battery duration, but I really didn't check it seriously, so maybe it's up even less time.
Hi ,can u plz tell me how to install linux on Dell Studio 1555 laptop , as a secondary OS.
Vista is already there , and I want to install linux also with that.
Hi, you should install Ubuntu, because it's perfect for newbies and it haves a lot of documentation in the net. Just google and sure you find information ;)
Many Linux distributions work well with the Dell Studio 1537 laptop and not just Ubuntu. As for newbies, great support is provided for openSUSE newbies on http://forums.opensuse.org.
I have openSUSE-11.1 running on my Dell Studio 1537 (it has a Radeon HD3450 graphics and the Intel 5300 AGN wireless). openSUSE-11.1 came with KDE-4.3.1, but I updated it to KDE-4.3.4 which was easy. Touchpad works. Wireless works. Sound works. External projector projection works. SD port works. USB/Fire wire ports work. Webcam works. Touch keys can be set to work. I do not have blue tooth working. I have HDMI external video working, but I a year ago when I tested the HDMI sound feature it did not work (I have not need for this function and have not retested since).
I completely agree, the green option (openSUSE) is very good, especially if you like KDE.
For information on hardware compatibility, take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/Dell
i installed slackware 13 on dell studio 15, everything went fine except the sound, please suggest.
Hi guys,
I've the Mobility Radeon HD 3450 in Archlinux with fglrx 9.8 and I'm having problems with v-sync when watching videos. Can somebody help me?
Thanks and regards.
Well, seems that in latest fglrx drivers the problem has gone using opengl as video output. With xv I'm still having the issue.
I have the latest fglrx 9.8 driver with a Radeon HD3450 on openSUSE-11.1 and KDE-4.3.1 on my Dell Studio-1537 and do not have a v-sync problem when watching videos. Players I have used are smplayer, kaffeine, vlc, ffplay, xine This makes me suspect you have encountered an Archlinux implementation hiccup.
In Ubuntu 9.10 64Bits I have the same problem, and with latest fglrx driver (9.10) on Archlinux 64Bits still having the issue. But with gl as video output the problem is gone. I also noticed that with gl the colors in videos are much better, with more intensity.
Thanks for your help!
You'll note that I'm the one who filed that first bug.
And . . . they fixed it! Intel has some really great developers working on the Linux graphics driver for their chipset. It took a couple months of wrangling with it, but they figured it out eventually. Now the system works fine. In fact, I'm using it now. (I had originally intended to return it, but decided to keep it after the bug got fixed.)
To get sound working, add "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6" to your /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (no quotes, create the files if they don't exist)
For bluetooth, you may have to run the command "hid2hci" to successfully scan/use yoru devices (assuming you have the packages for bluetooth installed).
I'm running arch linux with the latest kernel (2.26.30-1) and everything seems to be working fine. X is working fine with the catalyst/flgx or whatever drivers (running openbox just fine for me), haven't tested hdmi yet. Only one of my headphone jacks works for audio out, but other than that, not really any problems. I'm working on wireless next, but me thinks the router might be having some issues of it's own I need to attend to first (this belkin has surprisingly been nothing but trouble for me. A firmware update would do wonders…).
Well, that's about all. Good luck to you guys, if you need help, I may be able to provide it - email me @ james at subject17.com (you know what I did there)

For the record, I'm using a radeon 4000 series card. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
I have purchased a Dell Studio 15 in May 2010. I had no audio when I plugged into either headset jack. I used the solution posted in this thread, namely I added 'options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6' to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and created /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and added it to that too, then restarted. All fixed!!!
Many, many thanks James
I'm trying to get my bluetooth working… You said you needed to run hid2hci to get it recognised. But it says it "Command not recognised".
I did a search and I have a command "hid2hci" in /lib/udev , but it needs parameters: "error: –devpath= and –method= must be defined"
Any ideas? Thanks!
Dell now sells the Studio 15 with an ATI Radeon HD 4570 for which AMD apparently offers no Linux driver yet.
I received my Studio 1535 last week, and have installed 32 and 64 bit versions of openSuSE, Mandriva, Kubuntu, and Sabayon on it, to decide what worked best. I didn't test the webcam (don't use that much anyway). It has the 1400×900 screen, Intel AGN wifi, BD, etc. I definitely exercised my Comcast connection getting all those isos. :)
None of the x64 versions worked as well as the x32 versions. When sound works, it still sounds pretty crappy; I'd say it might just be the laptop, but it isn't as bad in Vista. I don't think there is BD support yet in any linux?
Out of the box, Kubuntu x32 was the best (didn't do x64 on this one) - pretty much everything worked. Sound, wireless, and graphics all worked. I had to manually go through and perform updates to get compiz working smoothly. Other things, like enabling the ati driver, were easy to do with Kubuntu walking me through it. I've found the wireless seems to refuse to automatically reconnect to a manually configured network, even though that option is checked. It's easy enough to point and click it where to connect though. I haven't done a lot with *buntu before, other than working with a EEE. I'm impressed with it's ease of use, but miss some of the advanced configuration stuff I'm used to finding with other distros. Sound only works near the high end of the volume adjustment. If I turn it down below 75% I can't hear anything.
Sabayon x32 was second, I think only the headphone jacks didn't work out of the box. Seemed to run a bit slow though. Compiz was easy to enable, they call it the 'enhanced experience'. :) I was a little nervous using this one as I'm unfamiliar with Gentoo based stuff, and have oft been told Gentoo is for…more advanced…users. Maybe I fit that after 6 years of linux use, maybe not.
I've been a long time user of Mandriva (powerpack). Sound doesn't work out of the box. Wireless functions, but I've had issues with it being slow – download speed is great, but doing the updates (I think there were nearly 500!) took ~4 hrs. It would sit for a long time between package downloads, I'm not sure why. The installer gave me the option to use the ati driver, which I chose, and it seems to work. However I haven't gotten compiz working yet, I think I'll need to update the driver and work my way through package updates. Not sure I want to tinker with it long enough to make it work, when I can get *buntu running so easily. Given it's a paid version, there's a bit more interest in making it work.
OpenSuSE I had fits with the graphics. It came up out of the box, but reduced functionality (3D type stuff). Trying to enable different graphics features I ended up in the black screen of death, and couldn't even get to a shell with Ctrl-Alt-F1. I gave up at that point and moved on to another distro. I'd recommend downloading the latest from ATI, and being prepared to work from a shell (init 3, install driver, aticonfig/fglrx-config, init 5 – and keep a handy copy of your xorg.conf to restore when it doesn't work). I don't think sound worked either.
It is worth noting that you'll want to test sound from the speakers and sound from the headphone jacks separately.
Forgot to mention, Kubuntu and I think maybe Sabayon were the only ones where there was any functionality for the touch sensitive controls above the keyboard (out of box)
openSUSE-11.1 graphics "just worked" for me out of the box with the openGL driver (radeonhd). My Dell Studio-15 comes with the ATI Radeon HD3450 hardware. But then I do NOT use 3D/special-desktop effects. I later installed the proprietary ATI radeon graphic drive, and I do NOT notice any speed improvement, BUT that is possibly because I do NOT use 3D/special-desktop effects. I suspect a person who uses such special-desktop effects will notice such an improvement with the proprietary driver. Typically proprietary drivers offer improved functionality and speed, albeit often with less stability.
An important point to note here is openSUSE is "open". That means it does NOT come with proprietary drivers (such as proprietary nVidia nor ATI graphic drivers). That was a reason for the name change from SuSE to openSUSE and that important specific reason appears to be lost on a lot of users who do not understand why there are not proprietary drivers included with the openSUSE distribution. If one wants a distribution that comes with proprietary graphic drivers then openSUSE is NOT for one.
I just want to share with everyone that I brought a Studio 1537 2 days ago and have no problem putting Linux (Fedora 10) on it.
Graphic display (Intel), Webcam, network, card reader were working flawlessly with Fedora 10. Wireless card worked with the drivers at the above link. Audio worked and Headphones problem could be solved by the latest alsa-driver. Bluetooth also worked without any driver modification, but needed to use "hid2hci" to turn on the device.
Firewire and ExpressCard Slot were not tested.
Headphone, mic and speaker sound functions
Headset sound, mic and speaker sound, to function properly in terms of appropriate muting and unmuting requires an alsa version more recent than 1.0.18a. A fix to a problem related to this with previous alsa versions, was created, as noted toward the end of this bug report:
The web cam also functions, with uvc driver and applications luvcview and kopete, where WebCam is an ID 05ca:18a1 Ricoh Co., Ltd.
1440×900 with radeonhd driver
My Dell Studio 15 (1537) has the ATI Radeon 3450 HD graphics, and using the openSource radeonhd driver, on openSUSE-11.1-beta5, I obtained a resolution of 1440 x 900 (which is the max resolution of my Dell screen).
Hi , I have bought a new DELL STUDIO 15 with a ATI Radeon 3450 HD graphics card and I have installed Open SUSE 11 in it. But I am facing a problem . I am not able to use the laptop in the graphical mode for lInux . The moment I boot the system into Linux the Open Suse screen comes for sometime and then there is a total black out . When it black outs I need to press ALT+CTRL+F1. That help me enter into the text mode . Till now I have not been able to slove the problem .Do you have any idea what could be the problem and how it can be solved
I installed openSUSE-11.1 RC1 on my Dell Studio 15 initially at a resolution of 1024×768. It was installed by the openSUSE installer using the openSource radeonhd driver.
I then later, from run level-3, ran the openSUSE specific program (with root permissions): sax2 -r -m 0=radeonhd #to get the right 1440×900 resolution for my WXGA+ LCD (note different Studio 15's have different resolutions). Note when you pressed ALT+CTL+F1, you are likely in run level 3, and you should be able to login and then run sax2 as I described above (ie: "sax2 -r -m 0=radeonhd" ).
It is possible that the xorg driver with openSUSE-11.0 does not provide a radeonhd driver that supports the ATI Radeon 3450 HD (I don't know). In which case, you can use the VESA driver instead (as an interim measure). Do that by typing instead with root permissions: sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
Once you have your GUI functioning, you can obtain a proprietary ATI driver, to obtain the best performance from your Studio 15.
I couldn't install teh 64 bit version of ubuntu 8.10, well it installed, but It took me to texxt mode when i logged in. The live CD worked fine. So I installed the 32 version of 8.04 and everyt hing pretty much worked. I had to pick a different resolution for the screen and change which channel the volume buttons controlled, but that was pretty much it. I haven't tested the hdmi out or the webcam or microphone yet.
Wireless, Audio and Graphics
There are different wireless options available with the Dell Studio 15. One can also procure the laptop with the Intel WiFi Link 5100 or 5300 AGN. I have the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN with the laptop and it functions fine with the 2.6.27 kernel (openSUSE-11.1 beta5). I've read one needs a least the 2.6.27 kernel for this Intel WiFi to function. I have read of Ubuntu-8.10 users (also with 2.6.27 kernel) succeeding in getting this WiFi to function.
Many users (Ubuntu, Mandriva, openSUSE) have reported problems with the audio with the laptop (hardware audio codec = STAC92HD73* ) . Dependant on one's kernel and alsa version, one may need to add the option "dell-m6" to obtain sound from the speakers. Headphone(s) function does not work with alsa-1.0.18a, although a fix may have been identified that will be included in subsequent alsa versions.
I have the ATI Radeon 3450 HD graphics, and I'm currently running it under the openGL driver (radeonhd) at a lower than maximum resolution. Once openSUSE-11.1 is released, I will install the proprietary ATI driver and change the resolution to the maximum available.
Graphics Issues
I ordered a Studio 15 with Linux Preinstalled. For some reason, I couldn't order it with the ATI graphics chipset — it only comes with the intel X3100 GMA. Anyway, when we received it, it failed to launch X windows. It appears the laptop's built in display is incompatible with the Intel graphics driver. I was able to get low resolution graphics using the "vesa" driver and I could get an external monitor working fine. Just not the LVDS.
Kind of embarassing for Dell to be shipping a "Linux laptop" that won't run Linux. After many frustrating hours trying to explain the issue to Dell Support, I finally initiated a return.
I couldn't order it with the ATI graphics chipset

I was able to order a Studio 15 with the ATI graphic chipset. It is unfortunate you were not.
It appears the laptop's built in display is incompatible with the
Intel graphics driver.
In support of what you note, I've read that one specific LCD monitor is incompatible with Intel Graphic hardware (but not all Studio-15 laptops have that LCD monitor). Specifically the LCD Monitor manufactured by AUO - Manufacturer: AUO Model: 8174 Serial#: 0. is not compatible. This brand doesn't seem to work with the present variety of Intel graphic driver.
Some bug reports.

On his website, Hegyes wrote that he modeled the swaggering, skirt-chasing Epstein after Chico Marx, whom he played in a national touring production of "A Night With Groucho." He was a big fan of the Marx Brothers: "They were immigrant Jews, and I was an immigrant Italian. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Gummo, and Zeppo were intellectuals ... They all played the piano and took music lessons, and they were all juvenile delinquents; I could definitely relate."It's sweet to see that connection to the Marx Brothers tradition of ethnic characters played by actors whose own ethnicity is at odds with the character's ethnicity. Heyges came from Hungarian and Italian ancestry and the Epstein character was Jewish and Puerto Rican.
"Welcome Back Kotter" wasn't a show I watched. I was in my 20s in the 1970s, and didn't watch much TV in those years. It's the TV shows of the 50s and 60s that are seared into my memory. Are there shows that I truly loved that I'd find really unwatchable now? Maybe "The Red Skelton Show."

This does beg the question…. how do we ensure these are the best ever? What do we need to know?
23 thoughts on "P & Q: Best Ever Brownies"
secret to fudgy brownies: don't overmix
I made these before the group started so I don't remember how long I baked them but I did note that it was much longer than the recipe called for. Good brownies but (spoiler alert) not my favorite brownie recipe.
28 minutes and still raw and soupy. Throwing them back in the oven for another at least 15 minutes. I cooked these in a square cake tin, not a glass or ceramic dish ans would have imagined that they would cook faster in tin. Not the case. Cross now because there will be no light to photograph them today once they are done.
They took an extra 20 or so minutes for me too. They were definitely soupy after the recommend time, but after some extra baking they turned out pretty well.
i used a ceramic dish with the dimensions of 9×5 and it baked up in about 28 minutes and yielded a dense and fudgy brownie. my only complaint is with the way the recipe was written. the instructions regarding the sugar and eggs was confusing. why not simply state that you should whip 1/2 cup of sugar with 2 eggs until thick, whisk 1-1/2 cups of sugar and 2 eggs into the chocolate mixture? the way the procedure to mix everything was written had me completely unsure of what to do. I must have read it half a dozen times before it made sense.
Do you all think this recipe is worth making with only semisweet chocolate chips for the chocolate? I have a 5 lb bag of Ghirardelli chocolate chips and am not inclined to buy 2 more packages of chocolate for the brownies. Thoughts? Thanks :)
Okay, my husband really wanted a dessert so I went ahead and made the brownies with semisweet chocolate chips for the chocolate. Like several others have said, my brownies took a lot longer to bake- about 50 minutes. They looked pretty light brown because of the milder chocolate and are not the most beautiful brownies ever. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but yowza! They're REALLY good! I let them cool for about 45 minutes and we had still warm pieces. Chewy crust, fudgy, moist, chocolaty, and a little chewy (in a good way!) inside, and that delightful crackly top that good brownies get. My husband said they're the best brownies he's ever had, and he's a brownie lover. Will definitely make them again and be sure to buy the right kind of chocolate next time! I will also experiment with a larger baking dish so they're thinner. My one bit of advice to people who still need to make these is to go ahead and grease your baking dish even though the recipe says not to.
Now I'm off to try and resist eating another brownie…
I made them last night. They took only about 28 minutes to bake. I probably could have pulled them at 25, but the center was a little too jiggly for comfort. I used a metal pan, and I'm wondering if the bakers whose brownies required a longer baking time used metal pans or glass.
The brownies are OK. I have another brownie recipe that I use almost exclusively; I'm not sure the Best Ever Brownies are going to be revisited.
Chris, I used glass. If I recall correctly, the recipe even says to use glass. If I'd taken mine out at 28 minutes, they would have been liquid still. At 50 minutes, when I stuck in the knife, it came out gooey but no longer liquid. They are the perfect texture- very moist and fudgy and yes, gooey- even a couple of days later. So interesting the vast time differences! Chris, did you use a 9 by 9 pan like the recipe says? I used a 7 by 11 because I don't have a 9 by 9 and that was the closest I could get in regards to number of square inches. Only 4 square inches off. Of course the pan is more rectangular but it would seem odd that the baking time had to be doubled as a result.
I think I baked them an extra 5 minutes…used a metal pan. We LOVED these…and my book club friends requested this recipe.
I baked them in a ceramic 7 x 11 pan. They took about 30 minutes. I let them cool about 15 minutes and then took them out (I lined the pan with parchment.) The outside edges were over-cooked, so I cut away the outside inch all the way around. We tasted them while they were still warm and the next day. They were WAY better after they'd cooled completely. The texture is almost mousse-like, melt-in-your-mouth. Are they my favorite brownie? You'll have to read my post to find out. ;)
I baked mine in a cast iron 9 inch square pan because it was the only 9″ square pan I had. I really couldn't tell by the instructions how to tell if they were done, so I pulled them out at 28 mins even though they were kind of liquid in the middle, but set on top. I was worried about the pan staying hot and continuing to cook them, so I pulled them out anyway. They are still cooling and the heat from the pan seems to be continuing to cook them. I'll let you know!

The "Vanishing Probe" Sign
16 comments:
the flight medics/nurses flew a pulseless penetrating trauma... that's practically malpractice... dead on the ground is still dead in the air.ReplyDelete
Ultrasound(tm), it's not just for central lines anymore....ReplyDelete
In absence of an ultrasound probe, could you also determine the presence of a "snidely sign" using your fist while performing CPR? I figure many smaller community ED's without ultrasound should have an alternate method to make this important finding.
I'm going to remember that---the snidely sign. (Here in Texas, the doctors with "cuntry" accents call it "daid"....)ReplyDelete
By the way, I jealously envy you your "modern" gadgets and technology. Our ER has NOTHING like that. Here in Podunk we're in the dark ages in everything else, too, (hence, the fact that I had to lead the EMT's out of ranch country when my own patient died at home two weeks ago and the poor EMTs had gotten lost on the way there and didn't want to get lost going back---I always have to give the ambulance guys directions...)ReplyDelete
(I'm having a hard time getting over that death---he was a favorite patient...)
And speaking of being in the "cuntry", two days ago on my way to work, I saw a man washing his horse in the car wash. (But it was a white horse, after all, so I guess I can understand...)
in summary:ReplyDelete
the paramedics said the guy had pulses. liars or fools.
yes, being able to fit your fist in a gsw to the chest would definitely indicate death. it would probably deserve its own name and the 'snidely sign' would be subsumed underneath it's broader reach.
a horse in a car wash? haven't seen that one. some might consider it an omen, but, as you say, it was a white horse. a good omen?
Vaporization in an atomic blast would definitely produce less charting than the others, though. Do they even have an "Atomic Blast" T-sheet?ReplyDelete
good medics have a motto for the rest of their collegues. "don't embarress the rest of us".ReplyDelete
Such a high technology device is needed to recognise someone is dead?ReplyDelete
It is a shame that some people won't own up to their responsibility...
I tagged you with a meme. (Come on, doc---be a sport!---you're the only doc I tagged.) Give us the scoop.....ReplyDelete
if you explain what i'm supposed to do with this 'meme' i will do it!ReplyDelete
dear BHR,ReplyDelete
got it from your site. will do it. don't know if i can tag 8 others but will try. will tag my compatriots here as well.
Thank you, doctor!!! You don't have to tag others if you don't want to. You can just put in a sentence saying something like: "Anybody else who'd like to consider themselves tagged, please do so".ReplyDelete
Thanks again!
All of my medical training comes from episodes of ER or Grey's Anatomy...which qualifies me to identify drama more than trauma, but I'm guessing even I could have diagnosed this one. Hmmm, huge whole where the heart used to be. If I recall correctly, that's one of those important organs.ReplyDelete
You forgot the EKG leads on the green, marbled, or skeletonized corpse. I'm never sure what tracing you get when the patient is only bones. DOPA--Dead on Paramedic Arrival.ReplyDelete
Maybe the paramedics said it to get out of the (messy) pick up, family of the dead guy around or some reason. There's always a reason.ReplyDelete
very perceptive, mark. there was an element of this at the scene. what is still not clear is why the ground crew called the helicopter to meet them at the nearest landing area or why the crew flew. the guy was dead and helicopters crash. it was a foolish thing.ReplyDelete

Sens. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, have introduced the Weapons of Mass Destruction Preparedness and Prevention Act of 2009 (SB-1649). The bill is based on the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission report, "World at Risk," and is focused on preventing a biological attack.
If enacted, the legislation would impose a new series of controlled pathogen regulations, in addition to the current select agent regulations, that would create a Tier 1 group of pathogens based on their likelihood of being weaponized. In addition, the bill would require containment labs and other facilities dealing with pathogens not on the select agent list to register with the federal government and would grant greater authority to the Department of Homeland Security in regulating pathogen control and laboratory biosecurity. Other portions of the WMD act relate to emergency response, public communication in the event of an attack and increasing biosecurity and biosafety internationally.
At a U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing, WMD commission chairs and former Sens. Bob Graham and Jim Talent testified that the nation was in imminent danger of a biological attack and the most likely threat was that of a "rogue scientist" acting from within a U.S. laboratory. Another witness, from the Government Accountability Office, presented information from a July GAO report showing that only three of the five biosafety Level Four facilities described possessed 15 factors related to perimeter security.
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology has provided informal comments on the legislation and is working to develop more formal comments through our Biosecurity Subcommittee of the Science Policy Committee. FASEB is concerned about both the proposed increased authority for DHS and the implementation of overlapping and potentially burdensome regulations, with little improvement in security. Currently, there is no House equivalent of the legislation.
However, Senate HSGAC members are not the only ones in Washington focused on biosecurity. Two additional hearings on high-containment labs and biosecurity were held the same day by the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee. These hearings primarily were focused on a second GAO report on the proliferation of high-containment labs that took place after the influx of federal biodefense funding in response to the anthrax attacks of 2001. The GAO report recommended the federal government inventory and develop centralized oversight of all high-containment laboratories as well as develop standards for biosafety, design and operation of those labs.
In addition to the GAO report, several other high-profile communications related to pathogen control and laboratory biosafety and biosecurity have been or are expected to be released in the coming weeks: a trans-agency task force report on biosafety; the findings of the Executive Order Working Group on Strengthening the Biosecurity of the United States, on which FASEB and the Association of American Medical Colleges provided extensive input and a National Research Council report on pathogen control and laboratory biosecurity.
The NRC study, "Responsible Research with Biological Select Agents and Toxins," which cited FASEB's statements and recommendations on biosecurity, is more moderate in its proposed actions than the Lieberman-Collins bill. It suggests that the current level of screening is sufficient and does not warrant additional screening processes, although there is a recommendation to alter the current appeals process. In addition, the report recommends increased training in biosafety and bioethics for lab personnel with access to select agents. The report also calls for the creation of a national advisory board on select agents and toxins, made up primarily of scientists, to promulgate best practices, provide guidance on implementation of select agent regulations and promote harmonization of regulatory policies and practices. Other suggestions include revising the current inventory requirements, stratifying the select agent list and regulations, developing minimum physical security standards for high-containment laboratories and providing additional training for inspectors.

Flying Baby Photos Available as Prints and in New Book
Henry the Flying Baby Gets a Book Deal and a New Print Shop
Henry the Flying Baby Gets a Book Deal and a New Print Shop
If you haven't seen Henry, the Flying Baby, the genius creation of NYC-based photographer Rachel Hulin, then now's the time to get acquainted. Shortly after baby Henry's birth in 2011, Rachel started making him fly (with a little help from Photoshop, of course). Since then, Henry has been photographed gliding over fields and kitchen sinks, though his backyard, and even up to a Ferris wheel, and the amazing results have been featured in Time magazine and on CBS News, ABC News, CNN, and the Today show.
Henry, now 18 months, is getting a little old to fly, but his mom's awesome photos are still soaring. This week, Rachel is launching a new site selling prints of her Henry photos, and she just announced the series is becoming a book! Out April 9, 2013, Flying Henry ($13) will be a 40-page fantasy book for infants and toddlers following a baby who develops the magical ability to fly. The new book promises lots of new photos of Henry's airborn adventures, but while you wait, check out some of our favorite shots.

Rob and Russ,The way I see HCB is a renegade bourgeois, bored, and preoccupied with his own inner world of peculiar moments. Ah, look, a guy jumps over the puddle! So big freakin' what? The worlds around him fall apart, with all the human joy and suffering, while he (happily indulges his inner sense of geometry).The very definition of an Artist!
The very definition of an Artist!
In fact, Adams and similar are pretty far down the list, as are most landscape people, almost entirely unknown outwith the faithful fold, as I said. You have to be a photographer to know about them, pretty much.
LOL!!! Adams was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was honored with a Doctorate of Arts from Harvard and Yale. He's been the subject of numerous documentaries and authored dozens of books. His work is in every major museum collection of photography on the planet. He has a goddamn mountain named after him!I think one or two people outside of the "faithful fold" may have noticed him, Rob.
The definition of an artist (no capital A, sorry) perhaps, but hardly enough for the definition of a great artist. Great artists have a certain impact on humanity, if only for later generations, on how we see the world. Yes, Edvard Munch, for instance, expressed his inner world too (like all artists), but that resonates with the rest of humanity almost universally, across cultural or geographical borders. In that respect, HCB could perhaps hope for an obscure artist status at best.
...It's interesting to read how many great photographers of the twentieth century single out Henri as a significant influence, among them Evans, Frank, Winogrand, Friedlander, and Leibovitz, to name just a few...
A Presidential Medal? Wow! A Doctorate of Arts? Wow! From Harvard? Wow! A mountain named after him? Wow! I'm terribly impressed (even though one of my brothers-in-law has a mountain named after him).Ansel made pictures that look good on walls. Most museums like pictures that look good on walls. For the most part, Henri didn't do that. He made pictures of human behavior that taught us things about human nature, and also, as time marches on, something about history. Ansel didn't do that. He made pictures of rocks and trees.
Thank the Lord, this but an opinion. Peter
So, show me the facts then. That one is "popular word-wide," beyond the fraternity, as Rob claims, an the other is "just a footnote in art history," as Russ claims.
...ps Art is not about fact. If one needs to question that, one needs to better understand what Art is...
As you can guess, I do not belong to the "faithful fold."
Oh come on, Russ. Stop pretending like none of those things matter. Of course they do.
You're right, Doug. Things like that matter a lot to the people who receive such honors, but they haven't much to do with an artist's achievements as an artist. Art has to stand on its own without reference to the artist. Ansel's pictures hang on the wall. Henri's pictures enlighten us. Ansel made beautiful art. Henri made significant art. There's a difference -- a significant difference.

This is the second half of my conversation with Ben Haines at MobileConnect in Boston last month. Check out part 1 if you missed it.
Ben Haines, CIO of Pabst (Yes, the 'PBR me, ASAP' company) is on a mission. Haines is not only transforming the data center from on-premise to cloud-based, but he is also transforming minds at Pabst. This transformation starts at the top with the senior leadership and goes all the way down to the administrators. Haines is augmenting IT from a technical delivery company into one that delivers services.
"When I started [at Pabst] there was no project manager and no business analyst. That blew me away." Haines recounted regarding the state of IT department. Haines noted that without those roles the IT team was just keeping the lights out. There was no strategic analysis or management of deployments. Haines decided that hiring those roles should be one of his top priorities. "I need these roles first, and then I need to build out the infrastructure so I don't need so many infrastructure roles." By adopting a cloud-based approach to the network, Haines is able to switch infrastructure for analysis roles on his team. According to Haines the capabilities the cloud brings is just the foundation. "The cream on the top is that I'm able to change the makeup of my team replace tactical roles with strategic ones such as business analysts and project managers."
Haines views the business analyst role as critical in transforming the IT department into a service delivery organization. As he told me, "I want my BA's to be the most knowledgeable business person about services. So when the business comes with questions the BA's are not saying 'we can start this server up here', they're saying 'this is how you use the product' and able to really start helping the businesses." For Haines, this business/product expert is just the first step. He went on to say "then you have to start joining the dots, that's the integration part of IT which we are moving to. I want to have my team make sure the business is utilizing those tools and training and helping the team."
Knowing that this is a big change for the team, both in terms of skillset and culture, I was curious as to how he presented this vision to the team? "The reality is it is a bit of brute force at the end of the day. My first presentation was 'this is where we are going – jump on board or let's talk.' I was very clear." Haines explain, "It's going to take us a while to get there." So how did the team receive it I asked? Haines replied, "The feedback I got was surprising. They were cautious, but very receptive. I think you are better off to throw it out there and deal with the fear than not have everyone know."
Haines had support from senior management at well. Haines pragmatic approaches to delivering services help keep an even keel in the board room. "I try to avoid the hype, the buzzwords, in any exec meeting. Initially I had to say we are moving to cloud and put a little context around it so they understood it. But now I don't go into a meeting and say 'this is the cloud service we're going to use,' now it's 'this is how we are going to solve this problem, and oh yeah it's cloud based.'" This type of rapport gives Haines the backing that a CIO needs to make significant changes in an organization.
One of the big changes that Haines implemented at Pabst was to put in Google Apps and switch out Microsoft Exchange. At first, this caused some consternation with not only his team, but also the user base. The most concerned individual on his team was the Exchange engineer. As Haines explained "I came in a put in Google Apps and he freaked out. With Exchange that is half your job; just making sure stuff works. Now I have him doing Goggle Apps. But he doesn't really have to do anything; just make sure a user is set up. So now he can focus on MDM, iPhones etc. It really broadens their experience from keeping the lights on to the new technology." And not only is Haines more strategically using the people on his team, he is making them more strategic as well. "We are putting in Identity Management. What I want to get to is configuring users straight from the MDM solution. That is the integration piece that I want to get my team doing."
The move to Google Apps also caused issues with some end users. Haines recalled some of the emotion that the move evoked. "If you ever want to tick someone off, take away their email client (in this case Outlook). Luckily, I had management support." That support helped give him the backing to work through the conflict. "It was pretty rough. I had half the organization saying 'this is amazing, why didn't we do this earlier?' That was mostly the marketing and younger crew. And then I had the ones who just hated me." But again Haines solved the issue though a more business focused team. "It was more training and figuring out where IT could lend a helping hand. We have to have the skills there to bring users on.
Haines isn't at his end goal yet of a service delivery IT organization, but he has made huge strides. I wondered if he wanted to build a purely strategic organization. Haines told me, "it's a balance between strategy and tactics. I've put that analysis layer on top, to deliver the right solutions; putting that analysis and strategy layer on top and augmenting the team to deliver on that." Now that's a change that most every IT organization could use.

In 2012, the recession may finally have caught up with the university rec center market. Universities continued to buy and build during the recession because budgets for most capital projects are planned years in advance, says Bill Crockett, director, university recreation and fitness, University of Maryland, Baltimore. However, 2012 will be different, he says.
The funding for the purchases, programming and renovations slated for this year likely was granted during the height of the recession, which means not as many were funded or started during the recession—and that could mean less building and buying in the next few years.
Less funding could affect the university market in several ways. First and foremost, it means that university officials and boards of regents will scrutinize the dollars spent more closely than in the past, Crockett says.
"Universities are looking for more accountability, robust decision-making that is data driven and enhanced assessment of programs and services," Crockett says. Senior leadership will expect and demand more from their recreation services departments to provide data that demonstrates the value of services provided, the relationship of those services to students' collegiate success and sound financial management. As costs for students rise in every area, university rec centers will be just one area where administrators will have to justify how tuition and fees are being used and to justify the necessity of the value returned.
Less funding might translate into renovations rather than new construction for rec centers, says Gene Grzywna, director of campus recreation at Northeastern University in Boston, because board of trustees and/or state legislatures might be more willing to fund cheaper renovations than expensive new construction.
Crockett says that the surge of facilities that opened between 10 to 15 years ago soon will need upkeep or renovation so they can reflect current design and programming trends.
Even though new construction has slowed and will continue to be slow this year, Crockett says that 2012 should be a buyer's market in terms of labor and materials, which should make renovation an attractive option at this time. Universities may see an upswing in the planning and funding stages starting this year, Crockett says, adding that he thinks more renovation projects will get underway.
Keeping up appearances will continue to be important even during times of austerity because rec centers still are used as recruiting tools for new students, which means they must have an attractive design and the latest equipment. However, purchasing new equipment each year or two might become more difficult, and Grzywna says that more schools may turn to leasing equipment, which would allow them to trade out equipment more often.
But leasing may be difficult at some schools, Crockett says, because many state schools discourage leasing, and some have state laws that prohibit it.
"The challenge will be to own or lease," Crockett says. "Leasing holds more potential for the future unless universities have well-planned equipment replacement/refurbishment plans in place."
Crockett says that buying likely will continue to be flat or decline in 2012. Some rec center directors will wait to see what equipment is in development. Some directors may worry that manufacturers facing their own economic issues could go out of business before the recession is over, so they will wait to buy from those companies still in operation.
Whether directors lease or buy, more of them will emphasize maintenance of current equipment so they can get more from it before replacement, Crockett predicts, adding that buying will pick up by 2013 unless a true dip occurs in the economy.
These trends really mean that rec center directors must learn to do more with less and find new sources for funding, Crockett says. In addition, they will be expected to place more emphasis on the end-user experience, including better customization of that experience. Social media tools also will be used more to communicate, promote activities and integrate into the user experience.
As university rec centers embrace more integrated platforms for technology, including trying to add it to programming experiences, privacy and security concerns will need to be addressed, he says.
As far as programming goes, Kristen Miller, fitness director at Northeastern University, says the hot programs will include group training, high intensity workouts and Zumba.

I've heard it said that the root of all religious and secular morality is contained in the Christian dictum: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It's a seductive and simple message, and will get you through day to day interactions better than the average Facebook meme aphorism, but it is not a solution to social injustice. The belief that the route to social justice is to treat everyone equally is dangerously flawed.
First, a rather violent metaphor. Imagine you have two Roman gladiators squaring up in the Coliseum. One is dressed in full body armour and helmet and armed with a slingshot. The other is barehanded and wearing a loin cloth. Under those circumstances a rule to say that the two combatants could only fight by throwing stones at each other would make anything but a fair fight.
In socioeconomic terms, the fallacy is best illustrated by Anatole France's brilliant observation. "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets, and steal loaves of bread." To treat rich and poor alike is to treat them entirely differently.
The fallacy appears often in gender debates. It crops up in discussions of sexual harassment and even sexual abuse, where hard-of-thinking members of my gender often splutter "But I'd love it if someone sexually harassed / sexually abused me!"
In recent weeks I have seen it applied often to the debate around misogynistic abuse on Twitter, where the 'do unto others' dictum has been viciously inverted. "I wouldn't give a shit if someone threatened to rape me, wouldn't bother me in the slightest, so you have no grounds to complain if I do it to you."
At the heart of the fallacy is an obliviousness to both individual and collective differences. No two individuals will react identically to a threat of violence, but since we are socialised into gendered phenomenology and face different real world risks, stresses and pressures, the impact on the typical man and the typical woman will be different. This is not to say a threat of physical or sexual violence against a man is acceptable or even that it is less unacceptable. It is to say that the difference is not quantitative, it is qualitative.
As you may have noticed, last week I wrote about penises in the Guardian. I took a fair bit of grief in the comments, and even from some valued friends on this blog, because I didn't write the piece that most readers (at least most of the male readers) wanted me to write. They wanted a storming rebuttal of Suzanne Moore's rules for managing you penis or a turning of the tables – a man to write the equivalent rules for managing your vaginas. I had tried to satirise both that demand and Moore's article in a quick, snarky blog-post on this site, but I had no wish to take that particular point any further.
Critics were quite right to say that the Guardian would never publish the same article written by a man about women. However this misses the point that it would be impossible for a man to write the same article about women. Even if the genders (and genitals) were reversed while leaving the rest of the words in place, it would still be a very different article because of the surrounding cultural and political culture. With hindsight, my Guardian piece didn't explain this very well, but this is what I was trying to say when I pointed out:
Our culture, media and politics have, for thousands of years, positively bubbled with men telling women what to do with their reproductive organs, whether it is instructing against using them too often or too rarely, using them too young, leaving them until they are too old, or medically intervening in their natural and/or God-given functions. Pertinently, many of those voices have been backed by the machineries of state, politics and religion.
I don't think the Guardian should have published Moore's article, because it was patronising, needlessly insulting, divisive and, above all, just a very poor article by her standards. It was self-contradictory, muddled and switching awkwardly between irony and sincerity. (Whatever political and ideological differences I have with her, I do believe Suzanne is one of the most brilliant polemicists in the British media. I'll often accuse her of having a bad argument, rarely of writing a bad article). However that is not the same as arguing that an organisation such as the Guardian should only ever write about men in the same way they (or we, if you like) write about women and vice versa. Equal treatments do not have equal impacts and effects.
What is the alternative to 'Do unto others…"? I'm not being entirely mischievous when I suggest that it is contained in a very different kind of dogmatic canon: "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs."
That was intended as an economic principle, of course, but I think it very much applies to social policy and even interpersonal communications. "To each according to their needs" is a good working definition of respect at both individual and policy levels. I also believe it applies strongly to those issues where men face gender-specific issues and disadvantages. Do male victims of violence or abuse need the same interventions, services and framework of understanding that female victims do? No, often they don't. Their situation is likely to be different in key respects, and so too should be the response – to each according to his needs.
One of the points raised repeatedly by campaigners for men's physical and mental health is that services are built on assumptions of patients' needs, which in practice often mean women's needs. One explanation proffered for boys' underachievement in school is that the education system has in recent decades shifted from treating every pupil equally as if they were male towards treating every pupil equally as if they were female. Neither option is truly fair. It seems to me that men's activists too often routinely demand whatever they perceive women to be getting (not least victimhood) and too rarely analysing and demanding what it is that men actually need.
The logical endpoint of the Equal Treatment Fallacy is the belief that if we treat everyone equally, then everyone will become equal. The truth is that in an unequal system, if we treat everyone equally we maintain the unequal status quo. That's why you'll never get me to agree to follow the modern trend to claim to be an equalist, rather than a feminist. I'm neither.
None of this is to excuse or justify rudeness, hypocrisy or negative stereotyping. Arguing that misandry is not the mirror image of misogyny does not mean that misandry is OK or politically constructive. It just means it is qualitatively different and should be understood differently. I don't blame the 2000+ commenters on Suzanne Moore's piece for reacting angrily to her trolling. I've reacted similarly to other provocations plenty of times. She was being insulting and I don't blame anyone for feeling insulted. I would caution against using the saga as an argument for false notions of equal treatment. There is really no such thing.
