George P from Vienna, VA recommends this vacation rental
The Condo is located on the top floor of the Kona Aliii which is in the heart of Kona. The location is and building are fantastic. You can get to everything. This is a very generous 2 bed/2 bath unit that is well laid out and appointed. The owners provided
all manner of starter items and it was great. Working with the rental company was also very easy too. Would highly recommend this unit and location for any renter. Everything worked great too.
We thank you for your review and would love to see you again next year!

Gloria M from Raleigh, NC recommends this vacation rental
I arrived late in the evening, and on initial arrival, I was completely surprised to find that this condo had no air conditioning...which was not noted in the amenities. There were also pictures on the website that were misleading. The curtains are filthy
and the entire condo could do with a fresh cost of paint. If not for the location and some "mental" adjustments on my part to the situation, I would rate this property one star.
Aloha and thank you for your review. This unit is not equipped with AC, similar to many of the others in the complex. We apologize for any disappointment, as we only advertise the amenities are included; we hope that the fan and other items we delivered assisted in your comfort during your visit. We have removed the photos of the adjacent tennis court, which is part of a public part that was not open during your visit.

We love staying at Kona Alii , right in the middle of town. This Condo unit is starting to show it's age. The Frig door will not stay closed, lights in kitchen in need of repair But not having a sofa is the worst ,no place to stretch out just two love
seats in living room .
Thank you for your feedback. This condo is perched on the top of one of Kona's tallest buildings and allows for the bird's-eye-view of Kailua village, which is why it is one of our "customer favorites." However, we are aware that there is room for upgrades and improvements. We are working with the owner to make some positive changes to the unit. In the meantime, we appreciate your recommendations and will certainly take them into consideration with any changes made to this condo.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Watched dolphins in the bay from the lanai, slept to the sound of the surf at night. Nice pool. 5 minute walk to the farmers market for fruit and veggies, 5 minute stroll the other direction to the ABC store for a bit of everything
else. Restaurants up and down Ali'i. But with all the conveniences it is the view that will bring us back.

Perfect spot in Kona. This place is great. Top floor with a large open loft. Great view from the lanai and the large sun deck from the loft. If you like the sound of the ocean, great views, great location, clean, well equipped then this is the place. The
only downside was the toilet in the second floor bath, you have to count to 15 foot it to flush but at least I can count tom15 without even thinking about it LOL. No complaints, would stay here again without a doubt. If you are are looking for a pool with
sun you won't find it here but the sun deck makes up for it and the water in the pool ihas warm water going into it so it's a nice temp.

Great view - great location.
We like being in the action, and this condo is perfectly located. Yes, there is a little noise from music at bars and motorcycles, etc., but the overwhelming sound one hears in this condo is the surf - it's great. And the view is spectacular - second to none.
OK, the style needs updating, but who cares? Just look out at that view.
It was warm and humid while we were there, but Hawaiians don't do air conditioning and neither should you! Just open the patio doors, feel the breeze and listen to the waves crashing onto shore.

The only negative was the noise. Someone at the big hotel to the South (next to Hugos) beat a drum loudly every night until at least 2am. Alii Dr. directly in front of Kona Alii has pretty much a non-stop flow of LOUD (are there any other kind?) Harley
Davidson motorcycles until around 11 pm daily.

Property in excellent location with fantasic views; can walk to all locations in Kailua. Can pick up music from Lava Java next door during day and early evening, but does not disturb sleep. Vehicles on Ali'i drive no a problem as surf cancels out traffic
noise. Should put counter height stools and table on the lanai to see over the railings. Kitchen clean and well equipped.

Although we have spent several vacations at the Kona Alii, this is the first time we have stayed on the 7th floor. We normally stay in 606. The facility is 40 years old and is starting to show its age. They are doing their best to maintain it but it appears
to be a losing battle. We were satisfied with our accommodations in spite of the fact that there were some electrical problems which were not corrected. We would have liked to have wi-fi access in the room but for $10 we got a temporary library card and wi-fi
access at the library which was only a 5 minute walk from the Kona Alii. As the realtors say,"The three most important features of a property are location, location, location". Same is true for the Kona Alii.

I could have lived there. We will miss that Oceanfront Lanai the most! The sound of the ocean, the live music outside of Lava Java, the sunset, people watching on the street was perfect. The condo was fully stocked with everything we needed (towels, beach
chairs, comfy beds, hair dryer, etc). The kitchen had everything we needed too. We didn't need to go out to eat. We had breakfast and dinner on the lanai. We also made use of the pool side grill a few times. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool after a long
day at the beach. The residents and long time renters in the bulding are all so friendly and made us feel so welcome too. You really can't get a better view, location and amentities for your money. We'll be back!

Our unit was exceptionally well equipped, clean, nicely decoratd with a magnificent view. On week-ends, especially, it tended to be a bit noisy with the sound of motorbikes and alot of partying at the restaurant next door. It didn't both us too much and
was only noticeable in the upper bedroom. Everyone we met was friendly and very nice to us, and we enjoyed the March Pot-Luck at poolside. The out-door market is only 1 1/2 blocks away, which is a great feature. We would stay there again on a return visit.
The staff at Prince Properties were great to deal with. Thank you.

No need to drive when you stay at Kona Alii 701. You are within walking distance of all that the main tourist section of Kailua-Kona has to offer. You will of course need a car when you go sight seeing outside the town. You are right in the midst of the
restuarants/bars/shops/public market/etc., so during the daytime its not the quietest place I've ever stayed in/ but it quiets right down at night(and the wonderful sound of the ocean waves just across the street lulls you to sleep at night)This is not the
place for honeymooners, but the more seasoned traveler should enjoy it.

Very nice stay right in Kona Town. Location is perfect for enjoying in-town activities. Just know that noise is part of the experience, even though you're seven floors up (traffic, resaurants, live entertainment, etc.).
•Did not appreciate chain smoker in lower unit (unsure whether guest or resident). Could not enjoy sitting on lanai at times.
•The unit is dated and could use some definite refreshing. View out the front is fantastic.
• Had to follow up with management company to get reservation made. Brought up issue related to missing key to the unit which was still unresolved two weeks later when we left. Need work on follow through but very pleasant to deal with.
•All in all, a very good experience and would recommend to anyone wanting an "in town" experience.

The location in downtown Kailua-Kona is GREAT. Close to dining, shopping and nightlife.Being on the top floor helped minimize the road noise and had great ocean and sunset views. We found the room generally clean but upstairs bathroom had room for improvement.
The "Rooftop Lani" was a SUPERB marketing phrase but since it was located behind the room it provided no view, however, the main level Lani was very nice. The pool was clean but didn't open until 9:00am and was located away from ocean view. We had a short
bout with a family of cockraoches, which we won and put up with a week of deck refinishing that took your breath away but never affected our living space. All in all this room had +'s and -'s like any other room might have but we enjoyed our stay which makes
this a thumbs up experience. Mahalo!

I stayed at 701 Kona Alii with my husband and another couple. We found the unit very comfortable, clean, and convenient. The location is perfect for exploring Kona, going to the market, enjoying the restaurants, and visiting the shops. The view from the
lanai is spectacular! We enjoyed watching the activity on the water and on the street. We loved having breakfast on the lanai every morning and feeling the gentle tropical breezes. We were grateful to find boogie boards and beach towels for our use. The pool
is nice, quiet and surrounded by gardens. We were so busy that we only used it once. We noticed that it didn't get a lot of sun. We wished the unit had wifi, but we could go to the yummy restaurant right next door and get internet access, so it wasn't much
of an inconvenience. This unit is on the top floor, in the corner so there is a wrap around view. Also, by opening the windows in the loft bedroom the breeze was wonderful for sleeping. This is a great place!

Across the street from the ocean. Can't beat the views! You can watch the dolphins swim by in the morning and you can even see the tropical fish along the rocky/lava shore below. Condo is in downtown Kona which makes it an easy walk to swimming, snorkeling,restaurants,
shopping, and the farmers' market ( to name a few). A couple items you may consider before renting this unit: it has a loft for one of the bedrooms and the water views come w/ the negative of being on the road so you can get road noise. However, the constant
sound of the waves crashing into the shore acts as white noise and the town of Kona quiets early in the evening. Overall we had a fantastic 2 weeks here. The Kona section of the island is always guaranteed good weather and the pick of restaurants both in and
off alii drive are good and reasonable especially when you compare w/ the more expensive kohala region.

Legend has it that before a crucial battle in 312 CE, the Roman emperor Constantine the Great dreamt he saw a cross in the sky and heard a voice say: "By his sign shalt thou conquer." Substituting a cross for the traditional Roman eagle in the emblem of his army, Constantine defeated his rival. His victory accelerated the spread of Christianity in the Roman empire.
This painting is a preparatory sketch for one of a set of tapestries representing the history of Constantine the Great. This series now adorns the Museum's Great Stair Hall Balcony. However, this particular sketch was not used in the series. The Philadelphia tapestry showing Christ appearing to Constantine was instead based on a different interpretation of the legend, as designed by the Italian artist Pietro da Cortona (1596–1669).

Mifepristone is a potent antagonist of progesterone and cortisol via the progesterone and glucocorticoid (GR-II) receptors, respectively. The antiprogestational effects will result in the termination of pregnancy. Pregnancy must therefore be excluded before the initiation of treatment with Korlym and prevented during treatment and for one month after stopping treatment by the use of a nonhormonal medically acceptable method of contraception unless the patient has had a surgical sterilization, in which case no additional contraception is needed. Pregnancy must also be excluded if treatment is interrupted for more than 14 days in females of reproductive potential.
Administer once daily orally with a meal. The recommended starting dose is 300 mg once daily. Renal impairment: Do not exceed 600 mg once daily. Mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment: Do not exceed 600 mg once daily. Do not use in severe hepatic impairment. Based on clinical response and tolerability, the dose may be increased in 300-mg increments to a maximum of 1200 mg once daily. Do not exceed 20 mg/kg per day.
Concomitant use of Korlym with a strong CYP3A inhibitor resulted in a 38% increase in mean plasma concentration of mifepristone. For patients already being treated with a strong CYP3A inhibitor, start with a Korlym dose of 300 mg per day and titrate to a maximum of 600 mg per day if clinically indicated. When a strong CYP3A inhibitor is administered to patients already receiving Korlym, adjust the dose as follows: For patients receiving a daily dose of 600 mg, reduce the daily dose to 300 mg. Titrate to a maximum of 600 mg per day if clinically indicated. For patients receiving a daily dose of either 900 mg or 1200 mg, reduce the daily dose to 600 mg.
Pregnancy; use of simvastatin or lovastatin and CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic range; concurrent long-term corticosteroid use; women with history of unexplained vaginal bleeding; women with endometrial hyperplasia with atypia or endometrial carcinoma.
Adrenal insufficiency: Patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency.
Hypokalemia: Hypokalemia should be corrected prior to treatment and monitored for during treatment.
Vaginal bleeding and endometrial changes: Women may experience endometrial thickening or unexpected vaginal bleeding. Use with caution if the patient also has a hemorrhagic disorder or is on anticoagulant therapy.
QT interval prolongation: Avoid use with QT interval-prolonging drugs, or in patients with potassium channel variants resulting in a long QT interval.
Use of strong CYP3A inhibitors: Concomitant use increases mifepristone plasma levels. Adjust Korlym dose as described in Dosage and Administration. Use only when necessary and do not exceed a Korlym dose of 600 mg.
Most common adverse reactions in Cushing's syndrome (≥20%): nausea, fatigue, headache, decreased blood potassium, arthralgia, vomiting, peripheral edema, hypertension, dizziness, decreased appetite, endometrial hypertrophy.
Drugs metabolized by CYP3A: Administer drugs that are metabolized by CYP3A at the lowest dose when used with Korlym.
CYP3A inhibitors: Caution should be used when Korlym is used with strong CYP3A inhibitors. Adjust Korlym dose as described in Dosage and Administration. Use only when necessary, and do not exceed a Korlym dose of 600 mg.
CYP3A inducers: Do not use Korlym with CYP3A inducers.
Drugs metabolized by CYP2C8/2C9: Use the lowest dose of CYP2C8/2C9 substrates when used with Korlym.
Drugs metabolized by CYP2B6: Use of Korlym should be done with caution with bupropion and efavirenz.
Hormonal contraceptives: Do not use with Korlym.
Nursing mothers: Discontinue drug or discontinue nursing.
Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide.
Korlym® (mifepristone) is a cortisol receptor blocker indicated to control hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adult patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery.
Do not use for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus unrelated to endogenous Cushing's syndrome.

KUNMING CITY, China, April 15 (UPI) -- Yunnan Safari Park built an amusement park for a giant panda who became depressed after her companion panda was moved to another zoo.
Sijia became very lonely and sad after her friend was sent back to Shichuan so the zoo cheered her up with an amusement park containing a swing, parallel bars, and a television where she can watch other pandas. The zoo says her spirits have lifted and they hope they can introduce her to another panda so she can have a companion in her new home.

I couldn't resist stopping by Apple's headquarters in Cupertino today. Not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised to find an on-site gift shop, or "Company Store".
I found myself buying a T-shirt with the motto "I visited the Mothership" on the front and a discreet Apple logo on the reverse. I thought that was quite funny and it appeals to Apple fans who already feel they are members of a special club where only the smart people are invited. It's similar to driving a hybrid, the smug factor is pretty high. You can chuckle at those people still using Windows or driving a standard petrol engined car. Buying Apple products makes you feel part of a cool tribe.
You know when your brand is successful when people develop an emotional attachment. Selling souvenirs is taking it to the next level. Customers who want to buy those takes it to another level.
With record breaking profits and share price things are looking pretty good for Steve Jobs and the team at Apple. It shows what you can achieve when a brilliant and single minded individual exerts a laser focus on a company's activities.

Highland Hall Waldorf School Presents Musical CELEBRATION, Now thru 1/27
Highland Hall Waldorf School will present the musical fable "Celebration." Performances will be held in Highland Hall's gym at 17100 Superior Street, Northridge, CA tonight, January 25 at 8 pm; Saturday, January 26 at 2 pm and 8 pm; and Sunday, January 27 at 2 pm."Celebration" was created by the writing duo, Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, whose previous works include the long-running off-Broadway hit "The Fantasticks" and Broadway musicals "110 in the Shade" and "I Do! I Do!" It was first performed in 1969, and though it received critical success, it is rarely reprised."When I called for royalties, the administrator said, 'You're a real theater person; no one ever does this show!'" says Rodney Vaccaro, Highland Hall's music and drama director."I chose 'Celebration,'" he continues, "because seeing it for the first time in high school was the reason I got into theater. What excited me was how it broke from the 'Sound of Music' as an experimental, 'tribal' musical along the lines of 'Hair,' 'Cabaret,' and later 'Pippin.' It's more of an ensemble piece rather than one about the leads." The story explores the human struggle for balance in a world of innocence and corruption, love and ambition, poverty and wealth, and youth and old age."It's a late 60s - early 70s 'statement' piece," continues Vaccaro. "But it's also what our society is going through now, posing moral and ethical challenges young people can relate to as they look to the generation before them and think, 'We can do better.' The action of 'Celebration' responds, 'Ok, it's your turn. Let's see what you do.'""'Celebration' acts as a dramatic and musical expression of themes we explore throughout our high school academic program," adds Lynn Kern, Administrative Director for Highland Hall. "The challenges of critical thinking and moral and ethical discernment, which the Waldorf curriculum explores and nurtures in its students across all disciplines, is literally put on its feet in this wonderful production."Doors open thirty minutes before show time. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for students. The show is appropriate for children in the 5th grade and older. Tickets may be obtained at http://highschoolmusical.eventbrite.com/#. Refreshments will be available during intermission and there is free and ample campus and street parking. For more information, go www.highlandhall.org or call 818-349-1394.Highland Hall Waldorf School, located in Northridge, CA and founded in 1955, is a coeducational institution exemplifying the rich educational traditions of the Waldorf School movement.

With the University of Miami trailing Florida State 24-7 at halftime Saturday night, Melvin Bratton said he told a group of Hurricanes fans sitting next to him at Land Shark Stadium not to worry.
"I said this [expletive] ain't over," said Bratton, a running back on the 1987 National Championship. "This is The U. It's 0-0. We're never out of it."
But a little over an hour later, at the end of an embarrassing 45-17 beat down by the Seminoles, Bratton said he came to a sad realization: The U he played for isn't The U of today. What Bratton said troubled him and many other former Hurricanes -- including Michael Irvin, Gino Torretta, Dan Morgan and Leon Searcy -- wasn't that the Canes lost to Florida State. It was the way they lost, with a lack of leadership, urgency and fire from players and coaches up and down the Hurricanes sideline.
"You can blame the coach, you can blame the players. To me, it's a state of emergency right now," Bratton said. "Everybody needs to take control, take a step back and say 'What can I do better? Is it the coaching? Is it the weight room? Do guys need to spend more time studying, dissecting plays? I don't have the answer.
"But what I don't see is any urgency. I don't see that fight. And that is inexcusable."
Irvin and Torretta, who host radio shows on WQAM, have echoed those sentiments this week. Irvin went as so far as saying the program could use "one or two more thugs." He later clarified it to mean hard-nosed leaders on the field.
Although he pointed the finger at himself for Saturday's loss to the Seminoles, UM coach Randy Shannon said Tuesday the Hurricanes need some more vocal leaders on the field. But when asked if the coaches were urging that in practice, Shannon said: "No. [The players] have to do it on their own."
"The coaching staff and myself can demand a lot of them. We can get on them, push them, all the things we do. But like anything, when you have somebody standing next to you pushing you, it's a different voice, a different person talking to you, that helps out a lot," Shannon said.
"You don't just make a leader. I said this on the radio, talking to Michael Irvin. When I was here as a player it was Kevin Fagan, [John] McVeigh, Julio Cortes, Jerome Brown, Mike [Irvin] got involved. It started snowballing. When I started coaching, it was the same thing. Any great football team or really good football team always has leaders that demand stuff out of everybody on the team, not just a coach doing it. That's when you start developing what you need. We've got those guys, they're starting to come out. But we need them to voice it a little bit more."
Bratton said Shannon is right.
"I'm not saying these kids are soft," Bratton said. "But somebody needs to step up on offense and defense and be a leader. I don't see that on the sideline. You watch the game and keep waiting for somebody on the defensive side to go to the offensive side of the ball and say 'What the hell are you all doing?' Jerome Brown and those guys, when we screwed up, he would go check [Vinny] Testaverde, myself, [Alonzo] Highsmith. If we saw the defensive backs giving up long plays, we'd go to the defensive backs and say 'What the hell are you doing dog? Tighten your [expletive] up.' These guys don't hold each other accountable."
Searcy, who hosts the Canes4Life show on CBS-4 every Saturday at 11:30 a.m., said he sees a huge disconnect at the moment between alumni and the program. Searcy said it has become increasingly difficult for former players to reach out to current players, a trend he said began when Butch Davis took over the program in the mid 1990s. Fewer alumni, he says, are being granted sideline access on game day. Searcy believes connecting more former players with current players could help the young Canes, whom he said never had the opportunity to have mentors like Searcy and his teammates once did, become the vocal leaders Shannon is looking for.
"All this throwing up The U has nothing to do with these kids now," Searcy said. "It has to do with the guys who back in the day that got the University of Miami the reputation for whooping ass every Saturday. These kids don't have that same mentality. They don't have anybody talking to them about the tradition of the University of Miami. They don't have any old guys coming back. When I played at the University of Miami, the older guys had access to the field while we were playing. If we weren't getting it done, you got freaking Cortez Kennedy right there in the defensive huddle telling you what you're not doing. If the linebackers weren't getting it done, you had Winston Moss telling linebackers what to do. If they weren't getting it done in the secondary, Bennie Blades was saying 'Hey man you aren't coming off the edge.'
"That kind of access on the field where not only your coach is telling you something, but guys who have been to the NFL that you'll listen to are saying it too, that resonates. You're a running back. How are you not going to listen to Melvin Bratton, one of the best all-time running backs and fullbacks at the University of Miami. If you're a defensive tackle, how are you not going to listen to Russell Maryland? All that access to the game was a huge plus. It's not there anymore."
Aside from leadership, player development has become another growing concern. Bratton, who went to Miami Northwestern, said he's surprised some of the Hurricanes signed from the Bulls' mythical national championship team of 2007 still haven't been able to get on the field.
"Look at Sam Shields starting [for the Green Bay Packers]. Look at Bruce Johnson. Randy Phillips. Tavares Gooden. These kids didn't get drafted," Bratton said. "Let's be real. This is the NFL. There are only 53 people that can be on a roster. These kids at the University of Miami were part time starters, didn't make any All-American lists. But they can go to the league and dominate? Something is wrong. I don't know if it's coaching or if its scheme. But how can you go to the next level and start on opening day? Somebody isn't getting the best out of these kids.
"You want to have chemistry and allow the players on the field to be who they are. The Ray Ray Armstrongs of the world, when he came in there, the reason he wanted to go to Miami was because he fit the Miami mentality, Sean Taylor-type mentality, knock the [expletive] out of you. You can't pigeon hole those kids. You got to let them go.
"It's not like they don't have it in them. Go to the innercity. Go watch those Pop Warner and Little League football games. You got parents fighting, kids fighting. They know football is their way out. You go to the University of Miami now, it's like a country club."
> After giving up two long kick returns Saturday, Shannon said Tuesday the Hurricanes have made some personnel changes on their kickoff coverage and punt return teams. Running back Lamar Miller, who returned a kickoff for a touchdown against Ohio State, practiced full-contact Tuesday and should be back for Saturday's game at Duke after sitting out against the Seminoles.
> The Duke Blue Devils might be really good at basketball and only 1-4 on the football field, but Shannon said the trip to Durham this week won't be easy and he's asking his players not to "fall into a trap and just go through the motions."
"Offensively they do a great job of throwing the football around," Shannon said. "They're averaging close to 400 yards on offense. It's going to be a real challenge for our secondary and also our front guys to control the game and get after it a little bit. They have two quarterbacks they use; one is more of a scrambler. They run inside-outside zone in their run game, will try to establish that a little bit and also take shots.
"Defensively they blitz. They bring the corner blitz, free safety, Mike, Sam blitz, every blitz known to man to stop the run but also get you in bad, negative plays on first down. So we have to do a great job on first down of getting positive yards. Second and nine is positive yards; second and 10 is positive yards. You can't get in second and 15 or second down and 18."
> Shannon said quarterback Jacory Harris, who at the very least tweaked his groin against the Seminoles, ran well Tuesday at practice and looked "back to normal." Since Jacory is still unavailable to the media, here is what fullback Pat Hill had to say about his quarterback: "Coming into his freshman year, a lot of people were talking about how small he is. But he's a tough guy," Hill said. "He's battled through injury after injury. He continues to fight for the team. He battles through what good is said about him and what bad is said about him. He's a competitor, he's a fighter."

Win With Ruleball
In this fast moving user friendly 65-minute DVD, the rules are simplified with minimal usage of stuffy rule book language. High school and college players are used to simulate a large number of situations including balks that cover NFHS, NCAA and Pro Rules.
Win With Ruleball is the only baseball instructional video of its kind ever produced. It should help umpires by giving them a unique perspective of the baseball rule book by allowing them to view what is being taught players and coaches as to how to take advantage of what the rules allow. Through a multitude of on-the-field simulations, the DVD illustrates various situations that the rule book on any level does not clearly specify in words.
Situations such as obstruction, catcher's interference, the batter's rights and restrictions, batter-runner interference, runner interference, the Infield Fly Rule, "Time Plays," "Appeal Plays," inviting tags, balks and much more are covered.
Win With Ruleball challenges umpires and rules interpreters as to, "What is the real definition of the baseline?"

Think custardy flan paired with crisp cookies. Add the compatability of maple and walnut to the equation and you'll see how I came up with this unusual dessert. To make it, I unmold a maple-syrup-sweetened flan directly into a baked walnut tart crust. The buttery crust acts as a moat, containing and absorbing the caramel that slides off the flan so that it doesn't have a chance to run all over your plate. Instead, you get all the rich, nutty flavors and creamy-crisp textures together in each bite. It's a completely satisfying dessert that takes flan to new heights.
There are a few things to keep in mind when making it. The first is to try to use grade-B maple syrup, which has a stronger taste than grade A and is generally better for cooking (you can buy it at specialty shops). The next is to simmer and reduce the maple syrup to concentrate it, which makes a richer, more satiny custard. And the last is to bake the crust in a quiche pan rather than a tart shell. A quiche pan is made in one piece, so if there are small tears in the dough and the caramel drips through, it won't leak all over your serving platter. A tart pan with a removable bottom is a much riskier proposition.
If you'd rather forego the tart shell, unmold the flan onto a platter and serve it with crisp cookies.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- Maple Flan
- 1 cup maple syrup, preferably grade B
- 3 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 7 large egg yolks
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon light corn syrup
- Whipped crème fraîche for serving, optional
- Walnut Crust
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1. To prepare the flan, place the maple syrup in a large, heavy saucepan. Set it over low heat and let simmer until the syrup is reduced by a quarter (to 3/4 cup), 15 to 20 minutes.
- 2. Add the cream to the syrup and stir until mixture is smooth and comes back to a simmer.
- 3. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Add a little of the hot maple cream into the eggs to warm them, whisking constantly to keep the yolks from curdling. Pour the mixture into the saucepan, whisking the cream constantly. Strain the mixture into a bowl, stir in the salt, and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 5 days.
- 4. Preheat oven to 300°F. Place 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the sugar and corn syrup. Raise the heat to high and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture becomes a dark amber caramel, 7 to 10 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into an 8-inch round nonstick cake pan, tilting to make sure the sides are well coated. Work quickly so the caramel doesn't harden. If it does, rewarm it over low heat.
- 5. Pour the maple custard into the caramel-coated cake pan. Place it in a baking pan and carefully move it to the oven rack. Pour enough very hot water into the baking pan to reach two thirds of the way up the side of the cake pan. Cover the baking pan with foil and prick all over with a fork. Bake the flan for about 1 hour, then lift off a corner of the foil to vent the steam. Re-cover the pan and continue to bake until the flan is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 45 minutes longer. Remove the flan from the baking pan and transfer to a rack. Let cool at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
- 6. To prepare the walnut crust, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven, stirring once or twice, until they smell nutty, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.
- 7. Using a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are finely ground, then reserve. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, walnuts, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 2 batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Mix until the dough just holds together. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a disk. Wrap it and chill for at least 1 hour, until firm.
- 8. Preheat oven to 325°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick into a 12-inch round. Fit the dough into a 9-inch quiche pan. Trim away any excess dough, then use a fork to prick the crust all over. Bake the tart crust until it's pale golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. (The tart shell can be made 8 hours ahead and kept at room temperature or frozen.)
- 9. To unmold the flan, run a small knife around the sides of the cake pan, then invert the flan into the baked tart shell. Serve with whipped crème fraîche, if desired.
- Variation
- For individual flans without crust, divide the caramel and then the maple custard evenly among eight 4-ounce glass or ceramic ramekins. Bake as directed for 1 hour and 30 minutes, venting the steam after 45 minutes.

SPOT... by Sandy
A playing card is freely selected (no force of any kind). The magician states that he'd like to mark the card for later identification on both sides, so the spectator signs the front and he places a red spot sticker on the back. The card is then lost in the pack and the deck is tabled.
The magician sets the pack down, snaps his fingers and shows his hands empty before removing a card from his pocket, which he says is the selection...but there's no sticker on the back. No problem, with a wave of the card a green sticker visibly materializes on the back of the card! Oops, it's supposed to be a red sticker. Again no problem, with another wave of the card the sticker visibly turns from green to red (this looks great)! The card is then turned over and there on the face of the card is the spectator's signature.
- Easy to perform
- No force
- Resets instantly
- No palming
Comes complete with the necessary Bicycle cards and detailed instructions.

I also heard about how the kill-command-whatever thing works, and I'm sure that sort of snowball mechanic definitely helps with the problem I'm seeing, but, eh... Like bandaging a laceration and broken bone. You're just going to have to cut it open again if you ever want to fix the bone as well.
Battletech does have a fair bit of variety and a coherent campaign storyline, but you're right that it focuses primarily on the big, stompy robots. I would prefer some VTOLs, infantry, and power-armor, but it does well enough with battlemechs, tanks, and gun turrets. If you've ever played the tabletop game and/or the MechWarrior tabletop RPG, you'll appreciate how it captures the feel while speeding up the mechanics. Still, I would prefer to find a group of people and run my own tabletop RPG.
You're free to pick your own handicap level, I have mine, but for God's sake don't disparage the games I enjoy simply because I like the training wheels mostly off. I guarantee you that there is far more strategy in any single game of Starcraft than any other RTS, and that's why it's the reigning king of its genre. As much fun as I had with T&T, after two games, I feel like I have experienced the majority of what the game has to offer in terms of strategic complexity.
Not directed at you necessarily, just something I really want to say to many different people, most of which aren't on this forum.
I've always very much preferred turn-based strategy to RTS, but I hold nothing at all against anyone with opposite tastes. I will admit to being in awe of what a good RTS player can do. I spent almost two weeks in South Korea several years ago, and there was a channel on the television in my hotel room dedicated to 24-hour Starcraft matches. (At least, that's all they were playing anytime I checked.)

Cisco Rated Strong Positive in 2012 Gartner MarketScope for Telepresence and Group Video Systems
I'm pleased to announce that Cisco has received a Strong Positive rating in Gartner's 2012 MarketScope for Telepresence and Group Video Systems. We believe Gartner's MarketScope Report confirms a shift we see taking place across the video market – while customers are still investing in multiscreen deployments, they are also looking for other options in order to drive pervasive adoption across their organization. These options can come in many flavors – less expensive room-based solutions, personal / PC-based options and one of the biggest trends – video being available on mobile devices.
Customer expectations for quality and reach remain high which does make it difficult for some players to address all segments while providing a seamless experience across all solutions. We strongly agree with Gartner's view that enterprise customers do desire dedicated room-based systems to anchor their video experience and because of this, we have continued to invest in this area of the portfolio. We recently launched the Cisco TelePresence TX9000 Series which not only delivers the highest quality in-person immersive experience, but also features more advanced collaboration capabilities along with the ability to easily integrate users from multiple devices and applications into a telepresence experience. This flexibility enables our customers to drive a pervasive strategy and quickly deploy video and telepresence to a broader number of users in their organization while also maintaining the highest quality experience for business critical sessions.
According to Gartner Analysts Robert Mason and Scott Morrison, the overall market rating in this segment continues to be promising. "Group video remains a market with potential for strong organic growth, with the endpoint mix shifting from purpose-built multiscreen systems to more broadly deployed and more flexible form factors."
We believe Cisco is well positioned to adapt to these market changes.

to the field. It should expand the existing
knowledge and demonstrate the student's knowledge
of both research methods and a mastery of his
or her primary area of interest. Dissertations
should be rigorously investigated, uphold the
ethics and standard of the field, demonstrate
an understanding of the relationship between
the primary area of interest and the broader
field of business, and be prepared for publication
in an academic journal.
Philosophy of the Proposal
The dissertation proposal demonstrates the student's
knowledge of and ability to conduct the proposed
research. The proposal should consists of the
following: the context and background surrounding
a particular research problem; an exhaustive
survey and review of literature related to
the problem; and a detailed methodological
plan for investigating the problem. The proposal
should be completed and approved no more than
one year after completing coursework. Upon
approval, a timeline for completing the investigation
and writing process will be established.
Criterion for Passing the
Dissertation and the Defense.
The Committee will evaluate the student's ability
to express verbally his or her research question,
methodological approach, primary findings, and
implications. The Committee will vote to pass
or fail the dissertation and the defense at the
conclusion of the public presentation.
Dissertation Defense Scheduling
Students who are preparing to defend their dissertation
should confirm a time and date with their Dissertation
Advisory Committee and register with the Graduate
Secretary at least 15 days before the defense

two working days, and forward to the student
the appropriate forms.

time, date, and room, for the defense, the
