December 16th - December 29th, 2016
One 2.5-hour session per day
Engineering Board PDH Credits: 7.5 hours*
Many problems facing designers and engineers are dynamic in nature. The response of a structure cannot be simply assessed using static assumptions.
The nature of the problem may be to understand the resonant frequencies of your design, so that key driving frequencies such as equipment rotational speed, acoustic or external pressure frequencies, ground motion frequency content or vehicle passing frequency.
Your design may face external driving forces from adjacent components; cams, push rods, pistons or from vehicle input sources such as a bumpy road, wave loading, air pressure or inertial forces.
Whatever the nature of the challenge, this objective of this course is to break down the dynamic problem into clearly defined steps, give an overview of the physics involved and show how to successfully implement practical solutions using Finite Element Analysis.
This course is completely code independent. No software is required.
Each topic in the class is treated as a building block and is presented using an overview of the physics and theory involved. The math is kept simple and the emphasis is on practical examples from real life to illustrate the topic. The mapping to Finite Element analysis techniques is shown with numerous workshops. The tutor will be running analysis interactively and involving the students in the process via Q and A periods during each session, follow up emails and a Course Bulletin Board
Students are shown the various approximation methods and how to judge which are acceptable and appropriate for solving a wide range of practical problems. Practical considerations of loadings, boundary conditions, damping and structural details are shown by numerous examples.
Of equal importance is the assessment and interpretation of results. This starts with ensuring the modal frequencies and mode shapes are feasible and accurate. Techniques are shown to confirm this and to make sure the basic modal response of a design is fully understood. Comparison against test or hand calculations is shown. A range of hints and tips are shown for producing subsequent efficient and accurate response analyses.
Interaction is encouraged throughout the course, with the planning and design of complete FEA projects. Options for mass and stiffness modeling, damping, loads and boundary conditions and solution methods are discussed interactively with the students. The tutor then runs the analyses using this input and the results are investigated. Using this approach, classic errors are shown and corrected in a real world scenario.
The session covers a wide range of application techniques available and shows typical applications and best practices across industry. The objective is to show students how to assess the nature of the dynamic environment and what tools can be used, together with the scope of the various solutions.
Supporting Excel Spreadsheets are provided to illustrate the processes and allow experimentation. These are free to the students. Many students have found them useful tools outside of the training course.
Students will join the audio portion of the meetings by utilizing the VoIP (i.e. headset connected to the computer via headphone and microphone jacks) or by calling into a standard toll line. If you are interested in additional pricing to call-in using a toll-free line, please send an email to: e-learning @ nafems.org .
This course is aimed at practising engineers who wish to learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to dynamic analysis in the most effective manner. Ideally a student should have some experience of Finite Element Analysis. The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. This course is a must for all engineers aiming to use Finite Element Analysis as a reliable predictive tool for dynamic analysis.
Note: Sessions may last for 2.5-3 hours, including the Q&A sessions.) Recordings of each session are made available to course attendees in the event they are unable to participate in one or more of the live meetings, or if they wish to review the material following each session.
Feedback from former Dynamic FE Analysis e-Learning students:
"This course did everything right. From organization to presentation to interaction, this is a good model for what online training should be."
"Tony's command over the subject and excellent teaching skills made this course worthwhile."
"Super! Doesn't get better than this. Good idea to start having e-Learning courses."
"I'm really happy not to pay a big fraction of my annual training budget to airlines and hotels. A BIG plus to e-learning."
Telephony surcharges may apply for attendees who are located outside of North America, South America and Europe. These surcharges are related to individuals who join the audio portion of the web-meeting by calling in to the provided toll/toll-free teleconferencing lines. We have made a VoIP option available so anyone attending the class can join using a headset (headphones w/ microphone) connected to the computer.

Molino Real
D.O. Málaga and Sierras de Málaga
When Telmo Rodriguez left Remelluri - his family winery - to found his own company, he and his partner Pablo Eguzkiza were looking around Spain for new projects. They spent a lot of time reading old books, picking up hints of where and how the famed wines of older times were made. In the course of their research, they came across the "mountain wines" of Málaga, beloved of the English. Less famous than sherry, the wines of Málaga were at a substantial disadvantage, commercially speaking, from their Andalucian neighbors: the wines were made in a rugged, mountainous inland area, rather than right by a major port. As such, the wines eventually simply faded into obscurity, but Telmo and Pablo were determined to recover the glory of Málaga's mountain wines. Thus was born Molino Real.
Molino Real is a partnership between Telmo and Pablo with local growers. Moscatel bush vines are planted at over 500m elevation, with southeastern exposure on shallow slate soils with low water retention. The facings are steep, extreme, and as such all vineyard work is done manually.
As is traditional, the grapes for the sweet wines are dried on cañas, reed, mats in the sun. Frames are set up so that temporary roofing can be used in case of rain. After drying, the grapes go through a selection process, with only the best bunches being kept for winemaking. As such, the grapes actually undergo two different selections: one during the harvest, which is done by hand, and another after the drying, meaning that only the very best grapes are left to be pressed.
The result is rich, long-lived, sweet wines that honor the tradition and history of the "mountain wines" of Málaga.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage has confirmed he wants to stand in the South Thanet seat in next year's general election.
Mr Farage said he had "thrown my hat in the ring", ending months of speculation that he was lining up the Kent constituency as his target for the 2015 contest.
In his column in The Independent Mr Farage insisted it was not a certainty that he would be selected by the local party but added: "I think I stand a good chance of winning".
Mr Farage was born in Kent and has represented the area in the European Parliament since 1999.
The Tory incumbent Laura Sandys won the South Thanet seat with a majority of 7,617 in 2010 but is standing down at the general election.
In his column Mr Farage said: "The situation is that there will be a hustings in the constituency the week after next at which the branch will decide who they wish to represent them.
"I have thrown my hat in the ring, but so have others, including a top-class barrister and friend of mine.
"It may seem silly to some that the leader of a party would have to go through the process of being approved and selected but, I assure you, rank means nothing in Ukip.
"Just as I applied to stand again as a Ukip MEP and went through the same assessment as other candidates and faced the vote of the membership with everyone else, I believe that the power to select the person they will be pounding the streets in all weathers for lies with the members of the branch themselves.
"Of course I think I stand a good chance of winning. I have fought the seat before and it is in my home county of Kent and an area I have represented in the European Parliament since 1999. But with Ukip members, nothing is ever for certain. And that's just fine by me."
A senior Ukip source said Mr Farage was one of eight candidates on the shortlist for the seat.

Clean Needle Technique Program
CNT Certificate/Verification Request Form
Welcome to the web site of the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. The Council is a 501(c)(6) voluntary membership association for acupuncture schools and programs in the U.S. Established in 1982, the Councils primary mission is to support member institutions to deliver educational excellence and quality patient care. The vision of the organization is to maximize opportunities available to graduates of its member schools to achieve their full potential in healthcare in the United States.
Currently the Council consists of 57 acupuncture schools. As a requirement of membership, all of the Councils member schools have obtained either full accreditation or accreditation candidacy status with the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), the only national organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit AOM schools and programs in the U.S.
The membership of the Council meets twice each year to engage in committee work, conduct strategic planning (approximately every two years), host special panels and workshops on topics of interest to its members, and participate in plenary business sessions. Each of these activities provides a forum for Council members to come together with their colleagues for dialogue and planning around the major issues affecting AOM education and the AOM profession. The meetings also provide additional benefits through an opportunity for Council members to hear reports from other national AOM organizations and to share information and resources among themselves in an atmosphere of collegiality and mutual support.
The Council administers a national needle safety course known as the Clean Needle Technique Course. This course is required by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) to obtain Diplomate status from the Commission. As an important verification of an acupuncture graduates safe needling technique, the CNT course contributes to the high confidence level in the safety of acupuncture by patients, regulators, and third party payors in the U.S.
As recommendations for ACAOM, the Council developed academic and clinical guidelines and core curriculum requirements for first-professional masters level programs in acupuncture and in Oriental medicine. The Council also developed core curriculum recommendations to ACAOM for masters level programs in Chinese herbology and for post-graduate doctoral programs in acupuncture and in Oriental medicine. The Council was also represented on ACAOMs Doctoral Task Force for the development of standards for the first-professional doctoral degree.
The Councils primary focus on advancing AOM by promoting educational excellence in the field is complemented by its participation in a number of other organizations whose work is consistent with that goal. Within the AOM field, the Council is a member of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM) and provides representation to various task forces of ACAOM. Outside the AOM field, the Council is a member of the Academic Collaborative for Integrative Health (ACIH), National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP), Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR), and the International Tiger Coalition (ITC).

MIAMI - If you're going to try to take down a terrorist on an airplane, there's no better way to prepare for that, than to train -- on a plane.
And that's what United States Air Marshals do in a plain-looking office building, just a few hours from Orlando, in south Florida.
Shooting on a plane is not like in the movies. The federal air marshals cannot miss.
And they don't because missing means hitting children or other innocent passengers, or it means putting a hole in side of the plane.
"We train so much and so hard. We try to throw in every scenario possible, just so when that comes, we're ready," said one marshal who spoke with Local 6.
The Department of Homeland Security said the accuracy scores of these airplane police are better than the FBI, Secret Service or any other agency.
You can see how good they are when you see the walls of their mockup airliner.
The bullets they use are filled with paint and once they finish shooting, there are no large blotches outside the targets, just a few splatters that scatter from direct hits.
"As a police officer on the street, you can fall back and take cover," the agent said. "When you're in the tube, it's you and the bad guy. You've got to engage."
In any situation they are all armed, but you'd never know it, and you'd never know they're on your flight. That means regular clothing, and cover stories if they end up sitting next to a chatty, curious commuter.
They train to blend in until their training kicks in when a crisis forces them out of their seat and into action, and puts the spotlight squarely on them.
"There's a lot of training that goes into it, a lot of time spent in the simulator and at the range to ensure that we're the best at what we do, and I can guarantee there's no one better," said the agent.
Something else Local 6 learned about air marshals is they don't just patrol the skies. They're on trains, in stadiums, even at landmarks or any place that a lot of people gather.
The department of homeland security has realized they can use their specialized skills for all sorts of situations and not just protecting people on planes.

"Radiant Pro Selling: Are They a Buyer? 3 Ways to Tell"
We've all been there. Trying to make a sale but by the end of your pitch you realize that you have just wasted your time with someone whom you'll never strike a deal. It can be difficult to tell who is a legitimate buyer and who is just a curious bystander, and I guarantee no one wants to waste their time and energy on anyone who isn't going to buy. So just how do you determine who is going to be a promising prospect?
Start by asking difficult questions. When discussing your product with the prospect, their enthusiasm and desire for the product is not enough to clue you in that they are going to buy it. A key question to ask at the start of the conversation should be focused on budget. It is important to ask what the prospect's budget is so you can determine if they can even afford your product. If a prospect wants WarmlyYours Sierra Towel Warmer but has a budget of $20, then you can easily conclude that although this prospect loves the product, they are not going to be a potential buyer.Read More
"Take a Positive Outlook on the Economy when Marketing Home Products"
Good news: An overwhelming majority of economists and forecasters feel quite optimistic about where the economy is headed. Not-so-good news: There is great discrepancy between these optimists regarding when the economy will truly get back on its feet. While it's impossible to predict exactly when an economic turnaround will take place, the consensus is a positive one. Many economists expect to see a recovery about halfway through 2010. Others, however, are wary to predict we'll see improvement that quickly. Read More

"GOOD NEWS: Green Innovation Continues to Grow"
Home construction and remodeling remain weak sectors of our economy. Homeowners still don't have confidence that the money they pay to remodel a kitchen or build an addition will translate into meaningful increases in resale value. But green home improvements that save energy have stayed remarkably strong. And manufacturers haven't stopped pushing to develop better insulation, more efficient appliances, low-watt lighting and other green products.
Growth in some areas of green technology was undoubtedly spurred by rebates and other financial incentives included in the Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and in local and state programs. Today many of these incentives have been reduced or eliminated, but green growth is happening nonetheless. Here are just a few examples of how this sector of the economy is humming along. Read More

You would not have trouble coming up with reasons to be skeptical about Tiffara Steward's prospects as a college basketball player.
She's all of 4-foot-6 and 90 pounds, too small to get on some amusement park rides, often handed the children's menu at restaurants. She's blind in her right eye, which has no cornea. She's partly deaf. She was born three months premature, weighing 2 pounds 15 ounces. She has scoliosis, which left one leg shorter than the other. Some of her vertebrae didn't develop properly. She had six operations by age 3.
And in her blue jeans, black vest and Size 1 Air Jordans, bouncing a ball on the rubberized court where the Farmingdale State Rams play on Long Island, she could be mistaken for someone's kid sister who managed to sneak into the gym.
Yet, throughout the Rams' 18-10 season, fans were treated to the spectacle of this little blur hounding opposing ball handlers, hoisting up threes, running the point. Believed to be the shortest college basketball player, Steward, a 20-year-old junior, nonetheless was a starter and a co-captain of a team that made it to the Skyline Conference Championship (losing to Mount St. Mary College) and to the second round of the Eastern College Athletic Conference's Division III tournament (Lehman College). Even in Farmingdale's one game against a Division I team, an 85-25 dismantling by the Big East power Rutgers University, she hit a three-pointer — to a standing ovation in Rutgers's gym.
It's almost impossible this time of year not to be sucked into America's best sporting extravaganza, the pageant of endless surprises — like Syracuse University's six-overtime victory against the University of Connecticut last week — that is college basketball in March.Continue reading the main story
But sometimes the most amazing miracles don't play out at schools whose gear is sold at the mall and whose games are punctuated by Dickie V yelling about diaper dandies. For a miracle that makes Syracuse-UConn look like a backyard barbecue, consider Steward's career, which is most remarkable for what has been taken for granted.
"When she was first born, I said to my mother, 'I never touched drugs, I never touched alcohol — how could God give me a child with so many disabilities?' " recalled her mother, Vanessa Jones-Steward. "And she said, 'God doesn't give you anything you can't handle,' and since then, that's how we've looked at things. We never thought of her as disabled; we never said there was something she couldn't do. And once she started to play sports, we've never thought she was any different than anyone else."
That turned out to be fairly easy, because as tiny as she was, Tiffara Steward was a prodigy. She played a grade or two ahead in youth leagues in her hometown, Elmont; starred at Sewanhaka High School in basketball; and is also a standout in soccer, volleyball and softball. It was easy to forget what wasn't there.
Chris Mooney, her college coach, remembers first seeing Steward at a high school tournament. "She was the best player on the court," he said. "You'd see this little girl, racing up and down the court, nonstop, up and down, up and down. I couldn't believe how fast she was."
HER specialty is defense, and she regularly takes the other team's best ball handler out of the game by denying her the ball or hounding her into turnovers.
"She's the toughest kid on the team," Coach Mooney said. "She'd run through a wall for you."
Though Steward's older brother and sister played college ball, she never expected to do the same until Farmingdale called. She had been considering going there or to Syracuse to study business, but the offer to play made it an easy decision, even though Division III schools don't offer athletic scholarships.
"I was working at the Splish Splash when they called and said they wanted me to come and play at Farmingdale," she said. "And I said: 'Basketball? I can play basketball and go to school?' It's cheaper and it's the same program, so it was an easy decision."
Her teammates, who share a dorm suite, say they've long since forgotten there's anything much different about Steward, though publicity this year has made her a minor celebrity. Workers at the campus KFC have taken to asking for her autograph.
Still, in her own world, family and friends manage both to forget and to remember what makes her special. Her older brother, Gregory, now a teacher's aide and a coach at their old high school, remembers an English class where he was asked to write an essay about someone memorable in his life.
"It took me about two or three minutes to think about it," he said. "And it took me no time to write it. It was all from the heart. It was about how I look up to my little sister."
Her favorite player, not surprisingly, is Nate Robinson, the Knicks guard, who at 5-foot-9 is the N.B.A.'s shortest player this year.
Steward's mother stopped by the college on Friday, and the subject of whether her daughter's vision had ever been an issue arose.
"No," Tiffara Steward said. "I guess I don't know what I'm missing."
"Which is nothing at all," her mother said.Continue reading the main story

Gophers advance to Frozen Four with win over SCSU
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Justin Kloos made sure Minnesota didn't waste its chance to face one of its oldest rivals on the game's biggest stage.
Kloos scored twice and Adam Wilcox made 24 saves to help the top-seeded Gophers beat St. Cloud State 4-0 on Sunday night in the NCAA West Regional final.
Minnesota (27-6-6) will face North Dakota in the Frozen Four semifinals in Philadelphia on April 10. Boston College will play Union in the other semifinal.
The Minnesota-North Dakota rivalry dates to 1930. Before this year, the last time the two former WCHA foes hadn't met in the regular season was 1946-47. The Gophers left the conference and won the inaugural Big Ten title this season, while North Dakota finished second in the new NCHC, then slipped into the tournament as a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region.
"I almost had a kind of inkling about it once North Dakota won (Saturday)," Minnesota coach Don Lucia said. "It's like, `I guess we have to win now, because we can't go a year without playing.'"
The Gophers are making their third trip to the Frozen Four since winning national titles in 2002 and 2003. They lost to North Dakota in the semifinals in 2005 and fell to Boston College in the semis two years ago. This year's bracket gives them a chance to avenge both of those defeats.
"Going to the Frozen Four, it never gets old. It's a thrill," Lucia said. "To be able to come back this year and get back to Philadelphia, it's a real credit to our group of guys."
Kloos opened the scoring on a wraparound with 8:51 to go in the first period, beating Huskies goalie Ryan Faragher, who was scrambling back to the crease after getting tangled up in traffic.
"I think that we got some momentum right away with our first shift getting in deep and then we just kept going," said Kloos, who leads Minnesota with 15 goals. "There was no doubt in our minds that we were going to be able to keep the momentum after that first one went in."
Seth Ambroz and Kloos scored in the second period, and Kyle Rau capped the scoring with a power-play goal in the third.
Wilcox, the Big Ten player of the year and a Hobey Baker Award candidate, had his fourth shutout of the season.
"They shut a lot of things down. We never got a power play. It was a difficult night for us to get anything going," Huskies coach Bob Motzko said. "They had a little bit more jump. We didn't."
Faragher stopped 12 of 15 shots for the third-seeded Huskies (22-11-5) before he was pulled in favor of freshman Charlie Lindgren, who finished with 19 saves.

A few weeks ago, the federally run National Assessment of Educational Progress issued its latest "report card" on civics education in the United States. You get a sense of what it found from "The New York Times" headline: "Civics Education Called National Crisis."
Most media coverage of the report focused on students' precarious knowledge of our system of government.

Band Perry singer engaged to Toronto catcher
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — The Band Perry singer Kimberly Perry is engaged to Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia.
The engagement, which was first reported by The Tennessean, was confirmed by the band's publicist on Tuesday. Perry told the newspaper (http://tnne.ws/15HRpm7 ) that she said "yes" to her boyfriend of more than a year on Monday night at the her parent's house in Tennessee.
Perry and her two younger brothers, Neil and Reid, are kicking off their world tour next month in Sweden. They signed with Universal Republic in 2009 and had a quadruple platinum hit with "If I Die Young." Their latest album is "Pioneer."
Arencibia, of Miami, went to school at the University of Tennessee and was a first-round pick in the 2007 draft by Toronto.


text: The open road reveals images for my work. I set out with my camera in an adventurous frame of mind and criss-cross the country.Often it is on the fast moving interstate where I discover, quite by accident, the perfect simplicity of a farmhouse or a barn. I am not interested in the details as much as the abstractions, the way the afternoon sun falls off a slanting roof or tall forsaken grass cradles an old structure or stairs that once led to a seaside path now lead nowhere at all. The challenge is to catch the image with my camera from this inconvenient backstage angle.America's heartland influences the bulk of my work - utilitarian structures that have a weathered history are a more hauntingly lonely expression than the congestion of suburban or city life. Shapes occurring by circumstance intrigue me far more than deliberate artifice.


text: Robert Lewis' Carbon Monoxide Scare Robert Lewis returned from his evening run and sat down to a snack when his heart started pounding uncontrollably and he began to feel disoriented. He then discovered that the family cat had fallen over with labored breathing. He called 911. He was initially transported to a local hospital and treated for a heart attack. But when Robert relayed the story of his cat, the emergency department physicians tested him and found high levels of CO in his blood. He later learned that his heating system was improperly vented, causing dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) to flood his home. After just a few hours of treatment in the hyperbaric chamber, Robert was feeling much better and was able to go home. He has experienced no residual symptoms and is feeling good as new. His cat is also doing great. "The whole experience was very frightening, but the staff at the Center quickly put me at ease. They explained everything in depth and were very attentive, making sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Having the Center so close saved me from a possible tragedy and I feel very fortunate." Contact Us Today! 617-523-7900

How Did That Civil War Soldier Really Die?
"It is a sad fact of Civil War history that more men died of looseness of the bowels than fell on the field of combat. The best available figures show 57,265 deaths from diarrhea and dysentary as against 44,238 killed in battle." (Page 124)

Gosh, I'm finding it to be true as I do research for my Civil War Soldiers and Sailors posts. So many of them died of chronic diarrhea many years after the war.

I had an ancestor who complained of severe bowel issues in his pension application. I've learned from both Billy Yank and the other book, Johnny Reb, that such issues were the predominant health issue among the troops. Bad sanitation, poor diet, etc. all contributed. I highly recommend these books if you haven't read them... they'll shed a whole new light on what the war experience was really like for all those fighting men.

Ditto for one of my own Civil War pensioners applications. It is interesting to read that this was so common - one of the struggles of soldiers that we don't often think about.

While sipping a Thai ice tea this afternoon, I was reminded of another tea using condensed milk that hasn't quite made it to the US. On my last visit to Hong Kong, my uncle, a self-professed connossieur of Hong Kong-style cuisine, brought me to a tiny restaurant in Central to see how "silk stocking milk tea" is made.
To call this restaurant a "hole-in-the-wall" would be enhancing it. It was pretty much a corrugated metal shack in the middle of a busy market. To enter the restaurant we walked through plastic flaps. There were about 5 or 6 fold-out tables in the entire place, with backless stools as seats. The food, simple macaroni soups in light Chinese broths, were typical of the fusion that naturally developed because of Western influence. (My uncle explained that over the past hundred years or so, Hong Kongers incorporated the nonperishable staples of Western settlers, like condensed milk and canned ham, into Cantonese cuisine. I've found upscale restaurants specializing in steak smothered in a sauce reminiscent of Cantonese beef with tomato.)
The restaurant's main draw, however, is the "silk stocking milk tea" (also called Hong Kong-style milk tea). In a corner of the small shack, a man was holding up a pantyhose-like sack full of black tea over a teapot. The pantyhose is used to filter the tea leaves, and supposedly produces a darker color due to lengthy steeping and a creamier consistency. Condensed milk is then added.
The end result does seem creamier than tea that hadn't been pulled through the ringer (pun fully intended.) The macaroni-and-ham soup also tastes better than it sounds. More evidence that "fusion" cuisine usually works when it develops naturally over time, rather than when it chases a trend.

Happy Friday! We don't have a ton of links for you this week, but rest assured that there will be more next time (we hope). Apple's typical fall refresh of the iPod line (and perhaps other products) draws near, and the web will soon explode with more rumors and speculation. Here's what we have for you this time around:
- Some of you may remember our review of an iPhone animation app called Flickbook, which had an extremely similar name to another iPhone app called FlipBook. Due to the obvious conflict, the Flickbook gang has decided to change the name of the app to Kineo.
- You may have heard past reports of iPhone factory photos cropping up on brand new iPhones, but new ones made their way to the web this week through MacRumors forum member markm49uk. The photos this time aren't just of some boring factory, they're of an adorable Chinese factory worker testing out iPhones. Now I kinda' wish I had some factory worker photos on my iPhone.
- Remember how iTunes seems to have been blocked in China thanks to a Tibet-friendly album? Apple is apparently investigating the problem, a spokeswoman told the press today. Of course, knowing how transparent the Chinese government tends to be on these kinds of things, we don't think anyone should hold their breath for an answer anytime soon.
- Woz is in the news again this week thanks to his talk at the Intel Developer Forum. While he was speaking, he urged developers to do what interests them and the rewards will follow. As usual, he also spoke about his own experiences in the early days of Apple and working with very few resources.
- Who would have known that the Japanese were so into iPhones? So much so, that there are a plethora of Japanese magazines dedicated to the device, as pointed out by our friends at TUAW and Macenstein. The remaining question is: people still read gadget magazines?
We hope that you have a great weekend! For those of you in the US, start prepping for Labor Day, because it might be the last grillout you have before the cold weather sets in. Boo-urns.

Organizers of the Vivian Major Robinson concert series have a different kind of musical treat in store for their fall concert.
Until now, the focus has been on classical music in a variety of styles.
But in a departure from tradition, this concert will exclusively feature American music – music written or arranged by Americans.
Storytelling is one of the oldest art forms in history, a tradition that stretches back to the dawn of mankind.
In fact, storytelling is at the heart of Lancaster County's newest festival – the second annual Storytelling in the Park festival at Andrew Jackson State Park.
Hosted by the Carolinas Literacy Network and AJSP, the event is scheduled for this Saturday, Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Anyone who says LEGO bricks are just a toy, clearly hasn't met Kim Baldwin.
Baldwin, a new speech therapist at Heath Springs Elementary School, has organized a LEGO robotics team to teach young people the properties of engineering, as well as develop a newfound respect for the classic toy.
The team consists of seven boys, all in the fifth grade, who were chosen last year by their teachers and guidance counselors to participate in the program.
Lancaster & Chester Railroad, LLC was named the Fort Lawn Community Center 2012 Partnership of the Year at the center's annual meeting on Sept. 20. Ron Seegars accepted the award on behalf of L&C from Libby Sweatt-Lambert, FLCC Executive Director, at the event.
L&C has remained a strong supporter of the programs and activities at FLCC through the years and is the primary sponsor of the community center's largest fundraiser of the year, the Annual Spring Festival, which will be held Apr. 20.
From release
Irene R. Burriss, a former Lancaster resident now residing at Garden City Beach, has published a cookbook to help organizations raise funds.
The cookbook is a 500-recipe collection with nine color photos and 182 pages.
The spiral-bound book titled Sharing Love Through Cooking is a collection of "tried-and-true" recipes that are both simple and satisfying.

There is no obstacle true love cannot overcome. Time and again, true stories have shown that love can triumph and flourish despite impossible odds. One Lancaster couple has a love story that proves that fact yet again.
Glenda and Buster Bass celebrated their 50th anniversary on June 8 of this year. What makes this story special is that Glenda was just 15 in 1962 when she married Buster, and he was just 17.
CHICAGO – Every 13 minutes, an emergency room in the United States treats someone for a sports-related eye injury.
According to the National Eye Institute, eye injuries are the leading cause of blindness in children in America, and most injuries occurring in school-aged children are sports-related.
The results of an eye injury can range from temporary to permanent vision loss.

Today the AHL will start announcing year-end individual awards, beginning with the all-rookie team and ending with the MVP award on Friday, April 8th. Texas Stars fans are probably going to see a lot of names that they don't recognize in the award winner and nominee lists. To be fair though, it isn't your fault, and you aren't alone.
Take, for example, the Norfolk Admirals. They play no games against Western Conference opponents. What chance does the average Norfolk fan have to recognize excellent West Conference goaltenders like Richard Bachman, Mark Dekanich or Eddie Lack? Can the average Stars fan name a single player on the Norfolk Admirals roster? The Connecticut Whale? The Manchester Monarchs?
It's not just the fans. In putting together my awards ballot as the Texas Stars media representative, it was difficult to give all of the players a fair shake. How can I judge a player's season based on a stat line alone? I have heard many of these names all season, but I haven't seen those players play the game. I feel that perverts the system.
The same cuts both ways here as well. Tim Leone, who does a great job covering the Hershey Bears for The Patriot-News, said as much in his recent post handicapping the awards races:
"Admittedly, there is some voodoo and stat-sheet reading involved in the process because we don't get to personally see every team in the league."He then went on to give his selections for the winners of each award. All of the winners, with the exception of Bryan Helmer from Oklahoma City but formerly of Hershey, were from the East Conference.
The obvious solution to this issue is to take the NHL's methodology and have every team play each other every year, alternating home and away. There has been a lot of electronic ink spilled on the topic by AHL writers on both sides. Personally, I feel the onus is on the East Conference to begin travelling more.
If you just look at a map, the spread-out nature of the West Conference geographically gives them a harder season. The Binghamton Senators, for example, have nine teams within four hours driving distance to their home arena. They play 27 of their forty away games against these teams. Another three teams are under five hours away. Texas, by contrast, has only 11 games within a five hour drive. Manitoba's nearest opponent is Milwaukee, 13 hours away, so every road trip is by plane.
It is a situation that likely has no solution until the league mandates the schedule make-up for teams. Right now, there is no evenness. Texas plays Houston 12 times a season but has yet to play against Rochester, a West Conference team, in the history of the franchise. Given that Texas and other Western Conference teams travel to nearby teams like Toronto and Hamilton already, it surely doesn't seem like West Conference teams are the ones holding up cross-conference play.

Carine Roitfeld and Olivier Lalanne asked me to shoot Fall '08 sunglasses for Vogue Homme International on real men that I found on the streets of New York.
On the second day of shooting I almost fell over when I saw this guy crossing Madison Ave. wearing that tee.
What a perfect thing to wear for a shot of sunglasses.
Anyway, this is my favorite shot of that story that will be available here in the US any day now.

41+ Thinking Skills Hypnosis Sessions
Improve your ability to think clearly and avoid cognitive errors with this range of relaxing audios
The one download that really helped me was Stop Negative Thoughts... it has totally changed my thinking.
Colleen J. Springer, Life Skills Coach/Facilitator, Toronto, Canada *
Read the full testimonial »
If you really want to change your life and open up the door of opportunity, building thinking skills is one of the most dramatically effective things you can do. It will impact on every area of your life. Bar none. It will help you be more creative, more flexible, more objective, more understanding, more tolerant, more positive, more decisive, more assertive - and that's just for starters.
We don't often think about how we think. Yet 'how we think' influences every aspect of what we do and how we feel. If 'how you think' is merely a product of what other people have taught you to think, or coerced you into thinking, you may be doing things and feeling things that are just not right for you, or that are actually holding you back in life.
So it's a good idea to take full personal charge of the task of building thinking skills - and hypnosis is an ideal tool for quickly developing new habits and styles of thinking that can help you progress to the kind of life you want to lead and be the kind of person you want to be.

I'm signed up for $147.94 and if a better deal surfaces before July 31, I'll renegotiate.
I might try the cancellation trick, I'm just too lazy right now.
The changes this year as I understand them is the online feature isn't available as a separate add-on anymore. Huge bummer.
To get the online Sunday Ticket you must purchase Sunday Ticket Max for an additional $100, which includes mobile and Redzone.
Also, Redzone isn't free with basic Sunday Ticket like it was in the past.
I really don't care about Redzone, but online is a must if you travel and need to watch on a laptop.

Off the Beaten Track in Israel – Petra The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
Written by Michael Rosenbloom
Since the Israeli city closest to Petra is Eilat, you'll probably want to cross the Israel-Jordan border from Eilat. However, if Petra is but one stop on a tour of Jordan, other border crossings such as the Allenby Bridge near Jericho or the one near Beit Shean, in the Jordan Valley may be preferable. Several years ago the word was that since the Allenby Bridge is an army outpost, the wait there is longer than at other crossings. A travel agent will be able to make the arrangements for a Jordanian guide to meet you at the border to take you to Petra.
It's very trendy for those who visited Petra before it became widely accessible to Israeli tourists to say that it's not the same as it was in the old days. Don't believe it! I didn't see any McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts in Petra. You still ride a horse to the beginning of the canyon and then walk maybe a mile through the narrow canyon (horse drawn carriages are available for those who prefer not to walk) until you are mesmerized by the Treasury building, peaking through the space between the canyon walls. It's the first building that greets you in the valley.
Petra is also called in Hebrew "Hasela Ha'adom," the Red Rock. This is because the mountains' rocky walls are colored a brownish red. And as the sun passes over the sky in the late afternoon, the rocks change colors to various shades of red and brown.
You need at least a full day to see all of Petra. There is a considerable amount of walking to do. Some of the buildings are built higher up on the mountain and require a trek reach to them.
If you're interested in knowing if there are other places of interest in Jordan, let me tell you that the answer is a resounding yes. Firstly, let it be known that there is no Jewish community in Jordan. However some of the sites are linked to our history. In the town of Madaba, between Amman and Petra, is the famous Madaba mosaic map from roughly the 7th century CE. The map is famous because it contains in it the oldest known map of Jerusalem. As a matter of fact, the map indicated a Cardo going through the heart of the walled city, before the Cardo was ever unearthed, in Jerusalem's Jewish quarter. The Cardo is the main north – south thoroughfare in any walled Roman city. In fact, the Jerusalem map is only part of a much larger mosaic map of the entire Middle East.
North of Amman is the Roman city of Jerash. Jerash is incredibly well preserved. You can visualize how a Roman city looked two thousand years ago. The Cardo is lined with the original columns. The streets from Roman times are intact, with grooves carved diagonally in the pavement, to prevent horses from slipping.
Finally, the city of Amman is also worth seeing. While the downtown area has the feel of other Arab cities on the west bank of the Jordan River like Schem (Nablus), or East Jerusalem, the Roman amphitheater in the center of town is well preserved and is something you should try to see. In addition the citadel provides a picturesque view of this city built on several hills.
If you're looking for a side trip to take while you're in Israel, a trip to Jordan may be a good change of pace. As mentioned above, the trip can last anywhere from a day (if Petra is your only destination), to three or four days, if you'd like to see additional sites. Regardless of the length of your stay in Jordan, you'll feel thrilled and secure to be back in Israel when your Jordanian sojourn is over

Sherlyn Chopra has been asked to keep her mouth shut by the editors of the American magazine ' Playboy', it has been revealed.
The diva, who is the first Indian woman to feature on the cover of the magazine, has been instructed to keep "mum" about the release date of the magazine, which has already been "delayed." The issue with Chopra on the cover was earlier announced to hit the stores by November, but it did not happen.
Many of her anxious fans recently took to Twitter to ask the bombshell as to when the issue is coming out. "Ya'll ask me each day about the release date of my PLAYBOY Cover. I truly wish I could reveal it to you. I've been asked to keep mum about it," the 28-year-old model tweeted in reply. "PLAYBOY has super grand plans pertaining to the unveiling of my cover. Uncommon Chutzpah shall soon be served with Phenomenal Excellence," she tweeted, as she asked her fans to have patience.

Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior book group
with Alexandra Vlasic & Kate Raddock
There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world's problems. It doesn't belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It's what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. That's what the Shambhala teachings are all about, and this is the book that has been presenting them to a wide and appreciative audience for more than thirty years.
Over this five part class we will study and discuss the first five chapters of this important text. Come to as many of the classes as you can -- you don't have to sign up for all 5! Sliding Scale Suggested Fee: $10-$25 per class
About the Teachers
Reviews of Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
"Trungpa's warrior is a most appealing figure, embodying qualities that every spiritual tradition would hold dear. The principal discipline recommended here—being genuine moment after moment—allows one to discover the magic inherent in phenomena, where the synchronization of body and mind becomes an attunement to the natural order." —Yoga Journal
"Shambhala provides a clear depiction of the results and, thus, the reasons for meditation practice as a source of strength for daily living and spiritual growth." —Body, Mind & Spirit

Take Care of Your Mouth!
By Dr. Harold Katz – Bad Breath Expert
Posted: July 22, 2009
Posted: July 22, 2009
The best way to take care of your mouth bones is by maintaining good diet, fitness, and oral health habits. However, there may be more to it than that. The Academy of General Dentistry says that more than 90% of all systemic diseases show up orally. Dentists can be the first to point out a problem. Poor nutrition can lead to various diseases as well as poor oral health. By practicing good fitness and healthy eating, you can avoid cavities, periodontal disease, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Another problem that can be easily corrected is bruxism, better known as teeth grinding. According to studies, an estimated 80-90% of the population grinds their teeth to a certain degree. stress causes the majority of these people to grind their teeth; however, it can result in the teeth wearing down and chipping. It could also cause sleep deprivation, headaches and jaw problems. What are some solutions to this problem? 1) Stop chewing gum 2) Exercise (i.e. take a hike) 3) Stop drinking beverages with caffeine (caffeine causes anxiety) Someone who grinds their teeth may eventually need dental repair. If you hear popping noises coming from your jaw while eating, that may be a sign of jaw joint problems resulting from bruxism. Also, be careful of clenching your jaw. Stress and Oral Care Some people are so used to stress that they do not notice when it is happening. Emotional stress can cause oral health problems including: canker sores, dry mouth, lichen planus (lacy white lines, mouth sores, or red areas), burning mouth syndrome, and temporomandibular (jaw) joint disorders. With stress, you are more likely to get cavities, gum (periodontal) disease, and bruxism. If you feel that may be under a high amount of stress, try to be more vigilant than ever with your oral care. Brushing Teeth If you do not brush food debris, sugars, and acids on your teeth, they can erode your tooth enamel and cause decay. Plaque, an invisible bacterial film, can build up, harden, and turn into tartar (which can only be removed by a dentist/hygienist). Eventually, this can cause tooth loss and periodontitis. Toothbrushing Tips
- Brush your teeth 2-3X a day and/or after every meal
- Use the right toothbrush (soft with rounded bristles, long enough to reach the back teeth)
- Change your toothbrush every 3 months or less
- Floss everyday
- Eat healthier foods/snacks
- Hold your toothbrush at a 45 angle against your gums
- Don't miss any spots (start from one end and go to the other)
- On the outer/inner surfaces, vibrate the brush inhalf-tooth-wide strokes towards the gumline instead of scrubbing
- Clean your molars with a back-and-forth motion
- On the inside of your front teeth, hold the brush vertically with up-and-down strokes
- A complete brushing takes about 3 minutes!

For me, Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world for a simple reason. It is a History Sandwich. Take two slices of Empire, add a generous smear of social history, mix in a salad of religion, sprinkle with politics, and the pile on some nice spicy ethnicities. Serve on a twin peninsula straddling Asia and Europe. Now, that's what I call lunch.
This blog started back in 2006 as a chronicle of one of my trips to Istanbul, and it seems only reasonable that I retrace some of my steps during this trip. Of course, back then I was here a lot longer - two months - and had a fresher command of the Turkish language than I do now, but I am excited to be back, even though Istanbul is undergoing a heat wave that is nasty even by Anatolian standards. But Istanbullites know how to deal with the heat - almost every indoor space is air conditioned in either modern or Byzantine style: ancient thick stone walls that keep places like the covered bazaar comfortable even in the miserable baking heat.
The heat has another consequence: a lot of shops and markets are closed for Ramadan. In most of Istanbul this isn't a problem - in Beyoglu, Sultanahmet, and other areas everything is open as usual. Turkey remains stubbornly secularist, and about a third of Turkey are not strict muslims or are Alevi who do not fast during Ramadan, but in conservative neighborhoods like Fatih the city is almost deserted in the afternoon.\Folks can't drink, smoke, or eat so their is little action. And you don't want to be rude and walk among the more pious fasters sipping cold water or slugging down mojitos in the burning heat. Traditionally, Ramadan is a time when restaurants do renovations and shops take inventory. And then, at night, canons mark the end of the fast time and the city goes on an eating binge.
The iftar is thhe feast that follows the day of fasting and there are special iftar set menus advertised at every restaurant in town.
Tents are put up serving specialty foods, and Ramadan is a time when money is no object and the family goes all out for fancy sweets, intricate baked goods, and quality snacks each evening.There are even free food tents set up in Fatih to feed the pious poor. But prices in Istanbul are extremely reasonable - you can eat quality food served with care at low end kebab shops as well as in posh restaurants. In fact, in most high end places you are paying for the atmosphere and the snob status. For me, I'll be eating street meat for a few weeks. And posting about it. Afiyet olsun!

Posted: February 28, 2011
We receive many testimonials from customers all over the world. However, two recently caught our attention that we would like to share with you. "I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how thrilled I am to find TheraBreath Mouth Wetting Lozenges! I'm a voice over actress and narrator and we work with very sensitive microphones. Little mouth clicks are an infuriating problem. They're time-consuming to edit out—when you can. Sometimes they ruin a take entirely. Mouth noise is a really good way to irritate an audio engineer and not get asked back into a studio. The traditional recommendation is tart green apples, but it's impractical to always have them with you. And if you do this full-time like I do, that's a lot of apples! I just stumbled upon the lozenges at CVS yesterday and thought I'd give them a shot. Oh my goodness! I am thrilled! And since they're individually wrapped, I can always have a handful in my purse, my glove box, and right next to my mic stand. I'm recording a long narration right now and they are totally saving the day. Thanks!" – Amy Snively www.amysnively.com One reader of Amy's testimonial sent her a very touching one, which she passed on to us. Amy wrote "By the way, I got this note the other day from my friend whose daughter is undergoing chemo." Here is her friend's testimonial. "You posted about those mouth wetting lozenges for your voiceover peeps.....Emma needs to move the radiation out of her salivary glands for four days. The doc suggested lemon drops because they are sour. They are not sour. They are sugary lemon flavor drops. Not sour at all. So we've been looking for something to get the salivary glands going. Then you posted about the lozenges! I picked some up yesterday. Emma likes them (bonus!) and she says they do the trick! Yay! So....thanks for passing that along, even though you didn't intend it for Emma! Love, N." To read more TheraBreath customer Testimonials, visit: https://www.therabreath.com/about/testimonial.asp

Dance videos are distinct from other videos in that you often want to rewind and play parts back many times for practice. I need a web application that will allow me to host a video and add bookmarks to make playback easier. Additionally, if I am bookmarking each move, many of the bookmarks will be only a second or two apart. Is there any web application that will allow me to do that easily?

EDITED UPDATE! Steve took one look at the apron I made for Stitches and said "you better have a pattern!" I didn't feel right writing one, but here are the details:
The pattern is the Rose Again Bag by Bags by Mags. The purse was cute, but it was that impractical size that you only use on Hot Dates when you are hoping to fool the guy to into believing that you don't usual carry Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, 3 days of the Wall Street Journal, design notebooks, measuring tapes, 19 lip glosses, bags of trail mix, 6 works in progress and other necessities in a giant, (though adorable) backbreaking satchel. No, you're the type of girl who only needs cash, gum and a fancy compact, all in a sparkly, postage stamp sized trinket of a bag.
I cut it up and converted it into this:
If you have the pattern and want to make an apron from the get go, I'd say only make the front and back panels. The aprong "strings" could be anything, fabric, i-cord, ribbon or narrow lengths of garter stitch.
I edged it with Cash Iroha left over from my Clapotis, using shoddy blanket stitch. It sort of ruffles and flares which I'm going to not iron because it seems apros pros for an apron..on (hah). I suck at embellishing, but I am working on it! I sewed two sets of large snaps on the handles, and also put a ribbon inside that I could hang pens on or put my little notepad in, to keep everything from settling at the bottom. The flower has some bead pollen, which I love.
It holds my knitter's helper arsenal! And Dena, you'll love this, the Hello Kitty thing is a calculator! Very necessary.
Now, I'm off to Santa Clara! Can't wait to meet West Coast knitters!

Black Forest and Hidemi Sugino's Charme – Searching for the Perfect Griotte
If you asked me what my all time favorite cake is, I'll probably say black forest. Growing up in Shanghai, it was one of the few western desserts available, and mom used to buy me a piece from the bakery as a treat on special occasions. Ask Jason what his favorite cake is, he'd definitely say black forest. Maybe he had the same childhood memory or maybe it's just a testament to black forest's universal appeal.
I used to make a killer black forest when we lived in Tokyo. Jason and a friend who came for a visit had it for breakfast, tea and after dinner dessert, finishing it in 24 hours! I haven't been able to make one as good since leaving Tokyo, because I haven't been able to find the perfect kirsch soaked griotte. Sure, the chocolate mousse must be just-so and the chocolate cake must be moist, and there's also the balance of whipped cream and chocolate mousse, but the perfect griotte is what sets a fantastic black forest apart from the ordinary bakery bought type (yes, my taste buds have become more discerning over the years). The perfect griotte has to be sufficiently boozy to give the cake its characteristic flavor, but it must not taste overly alcoholic that it overpowers the chocolate components. Just my two cents anyway.
Since moving to Singapore I've made three black forest cakes. The first two were made when we were still in the service apartment and without knowing any suppliers I used cherries in syrup and soaked them in kirsch myself. The result was less than satisfying. The kirsch flavor did not take, despite soaking the cherries for almost 2 whole days. Combined with the inhibitive alcohol prices in Singapore, the DIY griotte idea was axed.
I made the third black forest after finding griottes from a local fine food supplier. An entire liter of griottes soaked in brandy arrived in a glass jar, all uniform in size and looking promising. After trying one, however, my enthusiasm was checked as I felt the brandy taste was too sharp and unrefined. Mind you, I'm no brandy connoisseur. In fact my extent of alcohol consumption is sipping the occasional glass of wine through an entire four-course dinner, but that doesn't mean one can't tell good booze from not-so-good booze. So why did I make it into a black forest even though I wasn't exactly thrilled with the initial taste test? Because, besides my personal obsession with the black forest, I had a customer inquiry to answer to.
There is really nothing new making the black forest, except I shrunk it this time and made a 14cm mini version. It turned out really cute, but as suspected, the griotte tasted too harsh. Rather than enhancing flavors, it was distracting. Jason and I each had a slice the day I made it and another slice the next day, just to make sure that we gave it a second chance. Unfortunately, it was a no-go on both tries.
Now I have a problem. Specifically, a huge-jar-of-useless-griotte problem. So what do I do? I make them into a Hidemi Sugino version of black forest, the Charme. I don't know what I was thinking. Was I expecting that the Idemi magic would miraculously mellow the harsh alcohol tone of the griottes? Or did I think that they would taste better in a different recipe? I have no idea. The only saving grace is that I had fun making it. I had to double the milk chocolate mousse to fill my tall mold but still came a little short so the top surface was not as smooth as I would've liked it to be. My chocolate plaques are not nearly as thin as Mr. Sugino's version but my excuse was that I was making another thicker plaques on the other half of the same sheet so I couldn't spread the chocolate too thin. The honest truth, however, is that I probably would've never achieved the same paper-thin effects, not without a couple of failed attempts anyway. I also still don't own a pistolet so I dusted the top with coco powder, which looked almost half decent. Overall I can't say I have any problems with how it turned out visually, but when I tasted it, the griottes disappointed again.
This is a recap of our reaction when we ate it:
Mmmm, yummy milk chocolate mousse!
Yummy chocolate joconde biscuit!
Yummy dark chocolate mousse!
Oooooh, bad griotte!
So there you have it: a still more than half full 1L bottle of untouchable griottes. I wonder if the pungent cheap alcohol taste would evaporate if I baked it, because bad as they are they did not come cheap and I who never waste food now have a mission to find a use for them. Oh goodie, more bad desserts to look forward to!

your cakes are gorgeous even if they didn't taste the way you wanted them to! I've had some bad griottes before too, icky!
- Kate said...

Yummy chocolate joconde biscuit!
Yummy dark chocolate mousse!
Oooooh, bad griotte!"....!
Hi Lynn,
I'm enjoying your blog.
Try adding some sugar to the jar and let it dissolve. The sugar should balance the harshness of the alcohol - although it will take awhile.
best regards,
- Lynn said...
Anita, thank you for that! I never knew "bad" griottes existed before this, sigh
kate, if you ate the cake without the griottes, it's actually very nice =o)
Susan, thanks for the advice. I was thinking of soaking them in some plain water just to get rid of the alcohol, now I'll split them into two baches. Half in water and half in intensified syrup.
- Ales said...
I am not a big fan of the black forest, but Hidemi Sugino's version does look pretty appealing, I must say! A girl can't live without decent griotte in maraschino!!! Cherries in syrup are a staple in our house as my daughter loves them (I still make them with the old time method of layering the cherries (or sour cherries) with sugar and leave them out in the sun for 40 days until a nice syrup is formed, yum). I would be happy to ship you a jar of decent maraschino cherries from Italy. It's a matter of priorities ; ) Just let me know, ok?
- Mae said...
Congratulations on winning DMBLGiT!!! The photo looks superb and i couldn't agree more with the judges. :)
Hi, I'm enjoying your blog - congratulations on winning DMBLGiT!!! Mouthwatering picture! And the recipe??????
- thepassionatecook said...
what a perfect picture! congrats on your win...
this cake is a staple back home and probably a secret test every woman must pass to prove she is worthy of being married. i have never managed to make one (blind-folded my husband the day he was reading the T&Cs ;-))
i wish i could find griottes here, sour cherries are not a staple in britain! but i am sure if jamie or nigella came up with a recipe, the shelves would overflow with them... again, congratulations!
- ambrosia ananas said...
That cake is beautiful. I second what kate said--I'm dying to have a slice.
I don't know if this would help with the dyi kirsch griottes, but when I do port cherries for cakes, I simmer them briefly in the port before soaking and the flavor seems to take better.
- mimosa said...
waou amazing!!!
beautiful blog. Do you mind sending the recipe for blackforest cake please.I want to give a try for my husband's birthday;
email: email@example.com
Thanks in advance.

Hey everybody,
a couple of days ago I asked yesasia whether they would sell Hidemi Sugino's "The Dessert Book" from their shop.
They made it available now:
If you add an item for 1.01$, there aren't any shipping costs, so this might be the cheapest way of buying it.
This shouldn't be advertising - I'm just really happy that I finally can buy it for a more affordable price and would like to share that knowledge.
Best regards,
(from Germany)
