Making Ramp, Squid, and Scallion Pancakes at Hanjan
The scallion pancakes at Hanjan, Chef Hooni Kim's sophomore effort on the New York restaurant scene are unlike any pajeon you've ever had at a Korean restaurant. If you eat from the bottom up, it starts out like normal—a crisp, lacy pancake stuffed with scallions and squid. But as you move up, it burst out explosively into a craggly, tempura-like dome. Served with a gochujang-spiked dipping sauce, it's one of the most delicious things I've ever put in my mouth, and I could think of no way upon which it could be improved.
Until ramp season, that is.
I tweeted at Chef Kim a few weeks back:
Hey @hoonikim, you should make your awesome scallion pancakes at @hanjan26 with ramps as a seasonal special. I'd send everybody I know.
— J. Kenji López-Alt (@TheFoodLab) April 29, 2013
Luckily, he liked the idea and took me up on it.
@hoonikim @hanjan26 don't take my word for it, but I say yes. Lemme know when you test, would love to take some photos (and taste)
— J. Kenji López-Alt (@TheFoodLab) April 29, 2013
They're currently on the menu and available through the end of ramp season (which is rapidly approaching). Even after the season ends, the standard pancakes, made with tender squid, scallions, Chinese scallions, and horn peppers are worth the price of admission.
So how do they get those pancakes so damn tall and crisp? Through a combination of cooking methods. They start out in a skillet like a normal pancake, but as soon as the bottom is set, they're flipped on their heads into a large pan of hot oil so that their tops deep fry. It's an ingenious method. Check it out from start to finish in the slideshow above.

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Spoilers will be present within the article.
- "A more subtle potion than many appreciate at first savour, the Shrinking Solution causes creatures to shrink to a younger form."
- —Zygmunt Budge[src]
Shrinking Solution, also known as a Shrinking Potion[2], is a potion that causes the drinker to shrink to a smaller form[1]. It is bright green when brewed correctly and, if prepared incorrectly, it can apparently be poisonous.
One practical use of this potion is in the transportation of livestock — it allows for a wizard to carry an entire herd of pigs in the pocket.[1]
Sometime throughout wizarding history, wizard Samuel Plunkett, who was persecuted by a Muggle village, poured Shrinking Solution down the village well and terrorised the shrunken villagers by chasing them around in hobnail boots.[3]
In the 1500s, accomplished potioneer Zygmunt Budge developed his own version of this potion, which, in his words was "the best you will find". According to Budge, part of the potency of his variation came from stirring the potion after adding the Shrivelfigs, an unorthodox step. It proved so powerful that, when he accidentally split a small ammount on the grass outside his house, it caused an entire flock of sheep to shrink to lambs the size of woolly mice (Budge went on to use the shrunken lambs as ear-warmers in the chilly winters at Hermetray).[4] Budge also sent the potion to the two brothers of Tertius. Both of them shrank to the size of beetle, and, so the story goes, spent several days hiding under a cupboard while their cat tried to scoop them out and eat them.
During the 1987–1988 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Severus Snape taught his fifth year students how to concoct this particular brew in Potions class.[5]
Professor Severus Snape assigned his then-second year students a "particularly nasty" essay on shrinking potions during the summer holidays, and when they returned that fall, the first potion he had them brew was this one. When Draco Malfoy, who had injured his arm being attacked by Buckbeak the Hippogriff, returned to class, Snape had Harry Potter and Ron Weasley brew his potion for him. In the same lesson, Neville Longbottom added too much leech juice and rat spleens to his potion, and Professor Snape threatened to poison Neville Longbottom's pet toad, Trevor, with the botched potion at the end of class. Luckily, however, Hermione Granger helped Neville fix it and when it came time for Snape to test the potion, Trevor turned into a tadpole.[6]
When Harry brewed it in 1996 for Ginevra Weasley, he said that Vincent Crabbe should take some of it; presumably to lose weight.[7]
Brewing instructions
Zygmunt Budge's recipe for this potion, as set down in his masterpiece, Book of Potions, is thus:[1]
- Juice two Shrivelfigs and add their ruby blood to your cauldron.
- Stir slowly.
- Gently heat your potion.
- Chop four daisy roots more finely and add to cauldron.
- Add five hairy caterpillars.
- Add well-shaken wormwood.
- Stir vigourously.
- Juice four leeches and add.
- Stir slowly and with caution.
- Shake rat spleen and add to cauldron.
- Add a splash of cowbane.
- Stir slowly.
- Heat on a high temperature.
- Cast the Shrinking Charm.
Severus Snape, however, in his personal copy of Advanced Potion-Making, preferred the following recipe[7]:
- Add five sliced caterpillars.
- Heat till the potion turns red.
- Shake the peeled Shrivelfig until it is ready (this is extra important, as if one tries to add it before it is ready the potion may emit noxious green gases).
- Add peeled Shrivelfig until the potion turns yellow.
- Heat potion until it turns turquoise.
- Heat potion until it turns purple.
- Add four rat spleens to the cauldron.
- Add minced daisy roots till it turns green.
- Add five drops of leech juice.
- Add more of the Shrivelfig, this time till it turns pink.
- Add one sliced caterpillar.
- Heat mixture until it turns green.

Ask a Physicist Answers
Can electricity (static or not) be used to move very large objects? Could you somehow control a sufficiently strong electrical current through the air or across a surface to lift a log or a car? Are there certain objects it could lift and certain ones it couldn't?
Braden, the answer to your question is yes and no. Let me explain.
Static electricity works because objects which are otherwise "neutral" (in other words, objects with no net charge) can be polarized. An electric field, like one caused by a nearby charged object, can cause the charges inside of a neutral object — the protons and electrons — to move around a tiny bit.
Inside the bulk of the neutral object, this has no effect. On the outside surface, however, a small amount of positive charge accumulates on one side and a small amount of negative charge builds up on the other. You haven't added or removed any charge, just caused it to separate a little. This separation causes the polarized object to be attracted to charged objects.
For example, a charged balloon placed near a neutral pith ball will cause the pith ball to become polarized and be attracted to the balloon.
In the image above, the balloon collected negative charges from the sweater. When placed near the right wall, the negative charges repel, polarizing the wall and attracting the balloon. Click the image for an interactive simulation about polarization. Image Credit: PhET/CU-Boulder
Because polarization can only move the charges that already exist, the effect has very little strength. You wouldn't be able to get enough charge to the surface of a heavy object in order to lift it. You can try this at home: Charge a balloon by rubbing it on the carpet or your head, and see how big of a neutral object you can pick up.
If you had a way to electrically charge the object you wanted to lift, you could increase the force (because you'd have more charge). A Coulomb Balance works in this way. But you'd quickly reach a physical limit when moving heavier objects this way: the breakdown field of air.
Because we need so much charge to move something heavy, we create very large electric fields (more charge = stronger electric field). When you get to an electric field strength of about 3 million volts per meter, air ionizes - so the charge arcs across the ionized air and discharges the objects (this is precisely what lightning is: electrical arcing between the clouds and the ground!). So you can't go above that field strength, which would limit you quite a bit.
If you have a couple of wires, you can send current (moving electrical charges) through them, causing them to attract or repel. But this only works for two wires; it wouldn't work for normal objects like trees or cars, for instance.
The last "electrical" lifting mechanism involves electromagnets. Moving electric charges create a magnetic field, so if you wanted to lift a car or something else that is susceptible to magnetism, you could use a giant electromagnet (just like you see in the junkyard). That method, in the end, is limited by the magnetic susceptibility of the material. Things made of iron would be easily lifted, but things made of wood or cloth would not.
As you can see, we can use electricity to lift different objects, but we have to be clever in how we apply that electricity!

Hamilton leaves Rangers game with heel injury
BY foxsports • March 14, 2012
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Texas Rangers left fielder Josh Hamilton has left the game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday because of a jammed right heel.
Hamilton hurt his foot in the top of the second inning when he stopped himself after fielding a double down the line by Todd Helton. He finished the inning then went to the clubhouse for treatment.
Hamilton flew out to left-center in the first inning and is 3 for 19 (.136) this spring. He returned to left field after serving as the team's designated hitter Tuesday.

Frida Giannini focused on leather and fur in the first event celebrating Gucci's 90th anniversary
Gucci continued their modern day dandy look for Autumn Winter. Frida Giannini kicked off the brand's 90th anniversary year with a fur and leather extravaganza that included both crocodile and ostrich hides. A light colour scheme dominated throughout, although there were a few aubergine contrast colours involved. The 70s vibe from last season prevailed through tight suit jackets with big lapels and pockets stitched onto the jacket, and a subtle flair to the trousers.
Full-on fur coats impressed, but less attention-grabbing outerwear, such as corduroy pea coats, were equally beautiful. The suit jackets, an area in which Giannini is a master, also sported suede elbow patches and distinctively defined shoulders, giving the models an air of sartorial supremacy. But in the end it was the elaborate fur coats that made the strongest impression and they made our entry out back into the cold Milan afternoon even more painful.
Dazed Digital: What influenced the collection?
Frida Giannini: The first event of 2011 for the anniversary and I'm proud to present the new dandy who mixes vanity with tradition, and it goes well with the Gucci heritage.
DD: What kind of fabrics were you using?
Frida Giannini: A lot of British fabrics, but also gabardine, cashmere, flannel and other fabrics that were designed especially for us.
DD: Do you have a favourite piece in the collection?
Frida Giannini: The Mongolia coat!

Ex-Hall County Schools electrician arrested for theft | Crime
HALL COUNTY, Ga. -- A retired Hall County Schools employee has been charged with stealing more than $55,000 from the school district.
Ricky Donald Loggins, 48, turned himself in to Hall County Sheriff's officials Tuesday.
PHOTOS | Mug Shots: See 'em to Believe 'em
Hall County Sheriff's Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks said Loggins is accused of manipulating the school system's repair and maintenance contract paperwork, which allowed him to obtain excess equipment and supplies. He then sold the materials and pocketed the money. The discrepancies in the paperwork were discovered during an internal audit.
Loggins worked as an electrician for Hall County Schools for 31 years and retired last month, Wilbanks said.
He was charged with felony theft by conversion and is currently free on $5,000 bond.

The LAV-AT anti-tank missile carrier is a mobile system is capable of defeating main battle tanks and fixed fortifications. It can be used both in defensive and offensive roles. It is one of the variants of the baseline LAV-25 armored vehicle. The LAV-AT was accepted to service with the US Marine Corps in the mid-1980s. Some sources report, that 95 of these vehicles were obtained.
The LAV-AT was originally fitted with the Emerson 901 (Hammerhead) weapon stations, which fires TOW wire-guided, optically tracked anti-tank missiles. The same turret was used on the M901 anti-tank missile carrier. A twin missile launcher is mounted on a roof, above the third wheel. It carries two ready-to-launch missiles and provides coverage in 360 degrees. Also there are 14 reload missiles, stowed inside the hull. Missiles are reloaded manually under armor protection. The LAV-AT fires it's missiles only when stationary.
Vehicle also carries a ground mount for the TOW missiles with a hand-held laser rangefinder. This equipment allows to dismount and launch missiles remotely from the carrier.
Secondary armament consists of a pintle-mounted 7.62-mm machine gun with 1 000 rounds, which is used for self-defense.
Armor of the LAV-AT provides all-round protection against 7.62 rounds and artillery shell splinters. The front arc withstands 12.7-mm rounds. Vehicle also has NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems.
The LAV-AT has a crew of four, including commander, gunner, loader and driver. Crew enter and leave the vehicle via doors or roof hatches. Vehicle has a night fighting capability and can be operated in all weather conditions.
This vehicle is powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V53T turbocharged diesel engine, developing 275 hp. Configuration can be switched from 8x4 (rear) to 8x8. Vehicle is fitted with a central tyre inflation system and run-flat tyres. It's mobility allows to keep pace with main battle tanks and reconnaissance forces.
The LAV-AT is amphibious with minimum of preparation. It is made fully-amphibious within three minutes. On water it is propelled by two waterjets, mounted at the rear of the hull. Vehicle is capable of fording streams, rivers and inland waterways.
The LAV-AT can be airlifted by a C-130 Hercules or larger transport aircraft. It can be also carried underslung by the CH-53E helicopter. These armored vehicles have been successfully para-dropped.
It is worth mentioning that currently the US Army uses a similar system, the M1134 Stryker. It has a different launcher and is mounted on the Striker ICV 8x8 chassis. This system entered service with the US Army in the mid-2000. The LAV-AT's are expected to remain in service with the US Marine Corps at least until 2024.

EDITOR WES RAYNAL: This 2012 Kia Sorento SX is strong. It looks good inside (but it could use a little color in there) and out, there's good pep from the responsive V6 along with decent mpg figures. And it's a pleasant driver. A passenger jumped in last night, looked around and said, "This is a Kia? Wow!"
All signs points to Kia being on a rapid ascent.
The Sorento rides well on the freeway, planted and secure with good steering weight. The ride is just a wee bit stiff around town but nothing off-putting. And I was happy with the six-cylinder's 276 hp. However, I would like to drive a four-cylinder version back-to-back to see how it stacks up.
Are there more engaging SUVs? Of course there are. Are there more engaging SUVs with seven seats? Probably, but this is a damn fine all-around package.
EXECUTIVE EDITOR BOB GRITZINGER: That we are stunned that this is a Kia speaks to the vast improvements the Korean automaker has made in the past decade. This really is a quite good ute, with nice upholstery across all three rows. The engine pulls hard and without any thrashing, and it stays reasonably responsive even though it runs most of the time in fuel-saving Eco mode. The suspension is steady (if a little stiff), and the styling is next-gen Ford Escape-ish.
But it's the details in the interior that signal there's more work to do. Everything looks good (I like the red lighting effects and especially the red ring around the speedometer), with tight fits, and it all works well. But there is a lot of hard and/or shiny plastic and lots of sharp edges that tell me that Kia still has a ways to go before it can charge this kind of coin. I suspect the plastic edge along the top of the door trim at the window edge could double as a cheese slicer--it's that sharp.
But those are little things, and they're fixable. And Kia is known for attending to those details once it recognizes them.

TypeCeiling Medallion
Inside DiameterCanopy Max: 1-5/8"
Inside HoleNo Hole
The MD-5162 Ceiling Medallion is 16-3/4" in diameter and has a depth of 1-1/8".
Ceiling medallions are the perfect finishing touch for your interior design project. Use them to add luxury and charm to a ceiling fan or light fixture, or get creative and try them on walls for a pleasing, modern look that will impress all of your guests! Their innovative and lightweight design makes it easy to mount them to vertical surfaces.
Some of our medallions come with pre-cut holes, while others do not. If you need a hole in your medallion to install with a fixture or fan, we'd be more than happy to drill it for you -- just select that option before adding the medallion to checkout. Or, if you'd prefer, you may drill the hole yourself. Polyurethane is durable and easy to work with, and you only need a hole large enough for the wiring of your fixture to fit through.
Installing Without Damaging the Finish
We recommend using a generous amount of construction adhesive during installation and holding the medallion in place, momentarily, while the adhesive takes effect. Then, you can use low-tack painter's tape to continue holding the medallion in place while the adhesive dries.
Installation With a Fixture
If you are installing the medallion with a ceiling fan, chandelier, or light, make sure the power is shut off at the breaker before attempting installation. Turning off the light switch only WILL NOT prevent you from being shocked. If you have any doubts or need further assistance, please consult an electrician. You may need longer bolts or a longer threaded tube than came with your fixture to accommodate the thickness of the medallion. You can get these at most local home improvement stores.

Contact: uDecor, Inc. • 2510 Stanley Gault Parkway • Louisville, KY. 40223 • 877-550-0600 • www.uDecor.com
At uDecor, Inc., we know that projects take a while, and sometimes plans change. That's why, in most cases, we give our customers a 90 day grace period to return products. The products must be unused/new and in their original boxes.
We are unable to replace items that have been modified or installed, so please review all the contents of your shipment for damage and to verify that the items received are correct. Damaged items or items shipped in error that are not modified will be replaced promptly.
Unqualified Products
Custom products do not qualify for a refund if returned. Custom products include, but are not limited to, the Imagination Series, Leather & Wood Tiles, and Custom Tile categories.
Partial Returns of Items with Quantity Discounts
In the event that a uDecor, Inc. order qualified for and received a quantity discount, special consideration must be taken when accepting a partial return of the specific product that qualified for the quantity discount. If a customer's request to return a specific amount of product breaks the initial quantity required to qualify for a discount, it is possible that the customer will not receive a refund for the returned items to uDecor, Inc.. This is because we have extended a generous discount for a bulk buy, which may no longer applicable if a portion of the product is returned.
A refund involving an order that included a quantity discount can be examined in the following example:
Bill purchased 400 of a particular ceiling tile which cost $ 4.25 per tile (a $ 0.74/tile discount when purchasing 400 or more). His order also qualified for free shipping and he was not subject to sales tax. The order total was $ 1700.00.
After Bill finished his project, he decided that he did not need 30 of his tiles, and he wishes to return them. We must treat Bill's order as if he originally purchased 370 ceiling tiles, which means he would have not qualified for the $ 0.74 per tile quantity discount. If Bill had only purchased 370 tiles, the tiles would have cost $ 4.99 per tile and his order total would have been $ 1846.30.
In this particular case, Bill's new order total ($ 1,846.30) would actually be more than what he originally paid ($ 1,700.00). While we wouldn't charge Bill the difference when returning the tiles, we also would not be able to provide any refund. It would be better for Bill to keep the tiles and save on the return shipping.
When and how will a customer be refunded?
If products are returned within 90 days of the purchase, the customer's credit card will be refunded electronically. If products are returned toward the end of the 90 day period, and the refund does not take effect within 90 days of the purchase date, the refund will be issued by check and sent by USPS. Returns may take up to 2 weeks to be processed.
Packaging Items for their Return
Please be careful when packaging items for returns. You will be responsible for damage incurred during shipping, so please package the items accordingly. Retain the paper work that the shipping company gives you, especially the tracking number. Remember, you will be responsible for the items until we receive them.

Materials & Tools Needed
Screw Gun / Brad Gun
Adhesive / Caulking Gun
Caulking (paintable latex)
Utility Knife
Drill / Hole Saw
Many of our medallions have very intricate details and can be very difficult to finish once installed. We recommend painting your medallion before installing it. A high-quality spray paint, Latex or faux finishes work great. You can then touch up any areas that need attention after the installation is complete.
You can use any adhesive that is rated for use with polyurethane (check the back of the label) -- we have had great success using Red Devil Construction Adhesive, Loctite Powergrab and PL Premium Polyurethane Adhesive, all of which work well and are readily available at most home improvement stores.
Installation - No Fixture
Run a 1/4" continuous bead of adhesive around the outer edge and randomly in other areas on the back of the ceiling medallion. Press the medallion up into place using a few finish nails or screws to secure the medallion while the adhesive dries. Once the medallion is in place you can caulk any holes and around the perimeter of the medallion using a paintable caulking. Touch up the paint if needed.
Installation - With Fixture
If you are installing the medallion with a ceiling fan, chandelier or light, make sure the power is shut off at the breaker before attempting installation. Turning off the light switch WILL NOT prevent you from being shocked. If you have any doubts call an electrician.
Medallions are for decorative purposes only and cannot support the weight of a fan or light fixture. Your fixture must be supported by a support or junction box in the ceiling.
Many of our medallions come with solid centers to allow you to cut the correct size hole for your application. Take the bracket for your ceiling fan or light fixture and trace the area that you want to remove from the ceiling medallion. You will need a hole large enough for the wiring and holes for the bolts to pass through to affix your bracket to the junction box. The polyurethane material is easily cut so you can use a hole saw or a drill to punch out a hole. The hole doesn't have to be perfect since the fixture canopy will cover the hole.
Dry fit your medallion in place on the ceiling to make sure all of the wiring and fixture parts will fit as planned. Run a 1/4" continuous bead of adhesive around the outer edge and randomly in other areas on the back of the ceiling medallion. Feed through all the wiring and then press the medallion up into place, using a few finish nails or screws to secure the medallion while the adhesive dries.
Once the medallion is secure, attach your fixture bracket to the junction box. You may need longer bolts or a longer threaded tube that came with your fixture to accommodate the thickness of the medallion. Once the fixture bracket is in place, attach your ceiling fan or light fixture to the bracket and complete the wiring per your fixture's instructions.

Sigmund's Brunch is Comfort Food With Pretzels
Brunch menus to do your weekend right.
For many, Sigmund's is synonymous with pretzels—big, chewy twists made with flavors like truffle cheddar and feta olive. With her shop on Ave B and multiple pretzel stands, Lina Kulchinsky made pretzels good again in a city where stale, flavorless street pretzels are too-often the norm.
Last summer, Sigmund's went through a total transformation from quick snack shack to friendly neighborhood restaurant. Gone is the communal table and take-out only format; now there's an inviting blond wood bar and cozy tables for two lined up along the wall. With beer taps and a full menu, they also serve a weekend brunch of the classics—but pretzel-ized.
First on the menu, and with good reason, is the Pretzel Benedict ($12). Half a pretzel roll is lightly buttered then grilled before getting topped with your choice of meat: kielbasa, pork belly, bacon, or short ribs (or greens if you're veg-inclined). I love the kielbasa, which comes nearby from J. Baczynsky Meat Market in the East Village.
Lightly smoky, the kielbasa has a nice snap when you bite into it. And as it turns out, pretzel bread makes a great base for a Benedict. It soaks up the paprika-spiked hollandaise sauce and the runny yolk without being overwhelmed. It's definitely my favorite dish of the menu.
If you're particularly famished or just hung over, go for the Corned Beef Hash ($12). Instead of the usual hash where everything is cooked together in one skillet and served well mixed, here you have a dish that's more deconstructed. It's a mound of corned beef and sauerkraut on a base of yukon gold potatoes and crowned with two well-poached eggs.
While other hash dishes usually have shredded pieces of corned beef, here the beef is cut thick and substantial. You can actually savor the meat, and you'll want to. Prepared in the kitchen, the beef is first cured and then slow cooked for 5 hours before adding in various spices.
For brunchers who want eggs, try the Baked Eggs ($10). Served in a small cast iron skillet, it's complemented by a piece of pretzel crostini. The skillet is also stuffed with a mix of seasonal mushrooms; one visit yielded port0bello, oyster, trumpet royale, and hen of the woods all cooked with herbs and a touch of truffle oil, then baked with the eggs and some gruyere.
A la carte, the brunch items are reasonably priced. There's also a spendier "full brunch" option that will set you back $22 but includes a dish or a sandwich, one brunch drink, coffee or tea, and my personal favorite—the pretzel basket.
This is one of the main reasons I keep going back to Sigmund's for brunch. There's something about a basket of small soft pretzels in flavors like sesame and cinnamon raisin that's irresistible. It comes with their homemade jam and is only available at brunch. At Sigmund's, it's fairly easy to get a table for brunch at peak hours, which is a boon if you don't want to wait to eat. It's a great local spot with thoughtful food and, yes, delicious pretzels.

Post-Newtown super committee will probably miss deadline
With a handful of snow days and an evolving and sometimes contentious subject matter, it's unlikely the legislative super committee tasked with responding to the Newtown shooting will act this month, as initially planned.
Each of the group's three subcommittees have been moving at different paces to draft recommendations for legislative leaders to consider for inclusion in what is planned as a broad, bipartisan bill. But it will probably be early to mid-March before legislation is ready.
Some groups, like the subcommittee on school safety measures, may have their recommendations finalized as soon as this week.
Sen. Toni Boucher, the Republican co-chairwoman of the school safety subcommittee, said she expected her group to be very close to making its recommendations after it meets Wednesday morning at 11.
"We've been able to hash out all the consensus items and get fairly close to finalizing our report," she said. "We've been barreling down on it and have made a lot of progress."

text: Israel flap escalates as Toronto fest starts 3:27 PM PDT 9/10/2009 by Etan Vlessing , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Rabbi Marvin Hier adds voice to debate over sidebar TORONTO -- The protest and counterprotest over a Tel Aviv sidebar escalated Thursday as the Toronto International Film Festival got under way. Rabbi Marvin Hier, the Los Angeles-based founder of the Simon Weisenthal Center, told a hastily arranged Toronto news conference that the critics of the Israeli film spotlight were taking criticism of Israel to a new low. "Tel Aviv is one of the freest cities in the world, warts and all: a model city of diversity, freedom of expression and tolerance, for Arabs and Jews," Hier said as the Toronto festival kicked off with a screening of the British historical drama "Creation" at Roy Thomson Hall. "It is the height of hypocrisy to single out Tel Aviv. These protesters cannot masquerade their hatred toward Israel which so distorts their view," he added. The intervention by the two-time Oscar winner ("The Long Way Home," "Genocide") came as David Cronenberg, Ivan Reitman and Norman Jewison joined the chorus of supporters of the festival sidebar, who charged the growing artist-led protest with censorship. "Empowered groups of people, deciding whose stories can, and cannot be told, does nothing but remind us of oppression that has no place in filmmaking," Minnie Driver said in a statement. Ivan Reitman added in his own statement: "Film is essentially about telling global stories, of exploring the complexities and contradictions of the human condition. Any attempt to silence that conversation, to hijack the festival for any political agenda in the end, only serves to silence artistic voices." The artist-led protest was sparked by Canadian filmmaker John Greyson choosing to withdraw his short film from TIFF over its Tel Aviv spotlight. Meanwhile, organizers of the Aug. 28 "Toronto Declaration" letter plan their own news conference at TIFF, likely Friday, where they will unveil about 1,000 new actor and director signatories. The new recruits are understood to include Julie Christie, Viggo Mortenson, Harry Belafonte and U.S. author and activist Noam Chomsky. And the Israel Film Fund, which helped bring the 10 Israeli filmmakers to Toronto to be part of the controversial Tel Aviv spotlight, plans a gathering on Sunday evening at the Isabel Baeder Theatre to rally support around the film sidebar.

The term "barn find" rose to popularity and is often used to describe valuable cars that have been neglected in barns, gathering dust for decades. But the term can extend to mean any hidden treasure discovered in attics, cellars and closets. Collectibles with unbelievably high values can be stashed almost anywhere.
"The amazing thing [about barn finds] is they happen every day," said Curtis Dowling, art detective and host of the new CNBC Prime reality series "Treasure Detectives." "You'd imagine after all these years no one would have anything left."
So read on and take heed: If you don't use or sell off your valuables, your descendants will. And if you ever have to clean out a relative's house, always check the attic! Items that might not look like much can be pay dirt. One of the following discoveries turned out to be worth $70 million at auction.

Virus May Act as 'Evolution-Proof'
Biopesticide Against Malaria
Science (Aug. 21, 2010) — A naturally occurring virus in mosquitoes may serve as a "late-life-acting" insecticide by killing older adult mosquitoes that are responsible for the bulk of malaria transmission. The researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, Baltimore, Maryland, detail their findings in the August 2010 issue of the Journal of Virology.
Malaria infects hundreds of thousands of people each year and is the cause of over a million deaths worldwide. Insecticides are one of the main strategies currently used to control malaria transmission, however, evolving resistance to such therapies continues to impact such efforts. "Late-life-acting" insecticides (LLAIs) are now being examined as a new approach for controlling malaria as they selectively kill older mosquitoes that spread the disease, while younger mosquitoes survive just long enough to reproduce.
"Reproduction allows for relaxation of evolutionary pressures that select for resistance to the agent," say the researchers. "If resistance alleles exert fitness costs, there are theoretical scenarios under which resistance is not expected to evolve, leading some to provocatively term LLAIs as 'evolution-proof'."
Densonucleosis viruses (or densoviruses [DNVs]) are naturally occurring parvoviruses that have been identified in multiple mosquito species. Some DNVs typically infect during the larval stage and are lethal, however, in this study researchers suggest that the Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) may infect at low levels during early life and replicate to lethal levels at adult age. Analysis following infection showed that although AgDNV levels increased modestly during larval development they still replicated slower resulting in significantly decreased virus levels during this stage. Additionally, virus levels greatly increased in 7-to-10-day-old adults.
"Ultimately, we expect that a properly engineered LLAI AgDNV can be deployed in the field to significantly modulate malaria transmission," say the researchers.

Home | The Animals | World of Lemurs | Ring Tailed Lemur
of Lemurs (Prosimians)
The Lemurs of Madagascar are one of the most critically endangered and one of
the oldest species on Earth. This
WORLD currently features three species/subspecies of Lemurs.
Common Name: Ring Tailed Lemur
Genus/Species: Lemur catta
The island of Madagascar.
Natural Habitat:
The ring-tailed lemur dwells in both the dry forest area in southern Madagascar
and the wet forests of west Madagascar.
Physical Appearance:
Physical appearance may slightly vary depending on geographic area. Ring-tailed lemurs are perhaps the most easily recognized of all the lemur
species. They are quadrupedal with a tendency toward climbing and leaping.
Lemurs can walk or hop a few steps bipedally. Their tail is used for balance
when moving among horizontal branches. The ring-tailed is the least agile of
lemurs, particularly among small branches. The lemur's thumb is
pseudo-opposable. Their whole hand is used to grip, between finger-tips and
proximal pads. The hand is hook-like and inaccurate with small objects. Digits
have flat nails except for the
second toe which has a long claw used for self-grooming. Procumbent lower
incisors and canines form a dental comb used in all grooming.
The ring-tails nose is naked and moist, vibrissae (long, stiff hairs projecting
from the nose) are present. When resting, the ring-tail assumes a sitting
position with back supported. Sleeping posture is semi-erect with head between
knees, hands gripping branch and tail wrapped around body. Scent glands are on
both upper and forearms; and are much more developed in males.
Gestation is 120 - 135 days. They have a single young which is carried on the
mother's stomach for 2 weeks until
able to cling to her back. Independent at 6 months. Sexually mature at 18
months. Average lifespan 7 years.
STATUS in Natural Habitat:
Cool Fact:
Male ring-tailed lemurs have stink fights.
They rub their tail on their arm scent glands, then arch tail over their
head so the smell is wafted toward the opponent.

Cars are all well and good, but vans are where the party is at. When this van is a rockin', don't come a knockin'! Right... ladies? Anywho, what's the best van ever?
Mine is a bit of a personal choice, and it goes to the Dodge Ram B-Series. We Okulskis liked them so much, we had two of the 15-passenger variety.
Now you're probably saying, "hey, you're an only child that had basically no friends, why the hell do you need a 15-passenger van?" One simple reason folks: Go-karts.
Those vans were the reason we made it to the track every weekend to race. We could hold all our gear and two karts on a special rack that my dad built. The Rams also held (get ready for sappiness), in addition to their cargo, a lot of great memories.
What say you? What's the finest van in all the van land?

Dentures are a long-term investment in your oral health and aesthetics. Thorough denture care plays an important role in helping your prosthetics look and feel great for many years to come. If you clean their dentures daily, avoid damaging your prosthetics, and schedule frequent evaluations with your dentist, you can enjoy your partial or full dentures for up to a decade. If your dentures are accidentally damaged or broken, a dentist can provide a quick repair or realignment. To lower the risk of broken dentures, many patients choose implant-supported restorations for added stability, superior aesthetics, and simpler care.
Dentures should be brushed daily like your normal teeth. Removing food and plaque after each meal can ensure that your dentures maintain their look and feel for as long as possible. To clean your dentures:
Be gentle when handling your dentures during cleaning. Do not bend the plastic or attempt to modify any of the metal clasps, as this can affect the fit of your dentures and cause irreparable damage.
With proper care and maintenance, most dentures can last five to seven years without needing replacement.
Although you will use dentures for a majority of the day to chew and speak properly, you will need to remove them nightly. This is a requirement for both partial and full dentures. When you are not wearing your dentures, you should carefully place them in a container filled with water or denture-soaking solution. Do not leave them in a dry place; this can cause warping. If your dentures have metal clasps, only use water to protect the metal. Be sure to cover the container to avoid contamination and spillage. Before putting the dentures back in your mouth in the morning, rinse them thoroughly to remove the soaking solution.
Many patients choose implant-supported dentures because of their superior stability, security, and aesthetics. As implant-retained dentures are securely affixed to your jawbone through dental implants, they are less likely to fall out and become damaged. You will care for implant-supported dentures the same as you would with your natural teeth. You should also schedule frequent visits to your dentists to assess the health of your implants, abutments, and gum tissue.
Dentures are an expensive investment and should be properly cared for and maintained. To prevent damage to your dentures and help them maintain their function for as long as possible, you should schedule regular visits to your dentist. If your dentures feel uncomfortable, hurt your gums, or appear damaged, schedule a visit to your dentist right away. He or she may be able to realign, repair, or replace your dentures. With proper care and maintenance, most dentures can last five to seven years without needing replacement.
Dr Perry is a great dentist. Very kind and informative. I feel like he is personally invested in my health. He always takes the time to sit and discuss any issues I'm having - I never feel like they're rushing me out.

Global economic jitters and the prospect that Italy will reignite Europe's debt crisis dragged oil down to near $92 a barrel on Tuesday.
Benchmark crude for April delivery was down 89 cents at $92.22 per barrel at midafternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 2 cents to settle at $93.11 on Monday.
Markets were rattled by the possibility of political paralysis in Italy after near-complete results in crucial national elections showed no clear front-runner. The uncertainty bodes ill for the nation's efforts to pass the tough reforms it needs to overhaul its debt-laden economy. That could reignite Europe's long-simmering crisis of confidence in the euro common currency.
Adding to the downbeat mood were weak manufacturing figures from China on Monday and looming spending cuts in the US as political leaders in Washington remain at odds over how quickly to trim the budget deficit.
In London, Brent crude was down 82 cents at $113.62 on the ICE futures exchange.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain onto paper towels. Keep 2 teaspoons' worth of drippings in skillet. Cook leeks in drippings for 3 to 4 minutes or until almost tender. Add the wine, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir in cooked bacon. For glaze, stir together the apple jelly and mustard; set aside. Trim fat from chops. Make a pocket in each chop by cutting from fat side almost to, but not through, the opposite side. Spoon stuffing into pockets with chops. If necessary, secure with wooden toothpicks. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Place chops on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill about 20 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once, and brushing with glaze the last five minutes of grilling. Remove toothpicks before serving.

This past week at WEC 53, Anthony Pettis created one of the biggest highlights in MMA history with a wall-walking head-kick knockdown that set up a championship victory over Benson Henderson.
As amazing as the kick was, should such gravity-defying blows remain legal in the sport?
That's a question a reader posed to MMAjunkie.com medical columnist Dr. Johnny Benjamin, who tackles the topic in his latest "Ask the Fight Doc" installment.
Dr. B – Do you think that Anthony Pettis' phenomenal, wall-walking kick at WEC 53 should be banned? – Smart Enough Not To Give My Real Name
Sir or madam, very insightful question and equally thoughtful screen name. Much respect.
After I stopped screaming, harnessed my inner fan, and assured my suddenly awakened and startled family that everything was alright and to go back to bed, I asked myself a very similar question after Pettis' kick. (Watch Pettis' kick.)
As MMA techniques and athleticism continue to grow and evolve, how do we properly regulate use of the cage?
It's a very tricky proposition because on one hand we must respect the safety of both participants. And on the other, rules should not stifle technical creativity and growth of the game. It's an important balancing act that – when done correctly – helps to support the long-term viability of the sport.
Let's be clear. Use of the cage is currently regulated. Under the Unified Rules, it is illegal to hold or grasp the fence/ring ropes. Cage walking from an inferior position to reverse or stand is permitted. Pressing an opponent to the cage to work a position or technique also is permissible.
Let's look at the other end of the spectrum: jumping off the top of the structure. Honestly, right now, it is not specifically addressed in the Unified Rules; therefore, good judgment must prevail until it is.
In my opinion (which probably counts since I am a vocal member of the Association of Boxing Commissions' MMA subcommittee), allowing a combatant to leap from the top of the structure clearly is illegal. I think it also could qualify as "grabbing the cage" (since you'd need to grasp it in order to get up there) or "leaving the cage" (since you're no longer on the mat), which both are fouls. Still, it's not entirely clear with the way the rules currently are worded.
Regardless, the potential for unnecessary injury to both athletes is unacceptable. The potential risks outweigh the potential benefits, which include falling out of the cage, delivering a catastrophic blow that could permanently injure or kill either athlete, and/or merely landing awkwardly from a significant height (minimum allowable cage height is 58 inches, and the UFC octagon is 66 to 68 inches tall without the pads).
Also, leaping from the top of the cage potentially gives the leaper an unfair advantage.
Obviously, Pettis' gravity-defying kick executed during WEC 53 falls somewhere in between.
Do I believe that wall-walking maneuvers similar to Pettis' WEC 53 technique should be considered legal or illegal? Definitely legal.
Do I believe that it will become more than a novelty technique? Nope – not any time soon.
I think fighters will try it because it looks so cool when it lands. But landing it is not a piece of cake.
It's similar to an acrobatic dunk in the NBA. It looks great when you tear the rim down, but when you miss it – get ready! Plan to be on ESPN SportsCenter's "Not-so Top 10″' and e-mailed millions of times around the Internet as a YouTube boob. I'm already laughing! You've been warned.
As the sport evolves, so must the rules and regulations. If not, MMA may find itself playing a dangerous game of catch-up not unlike what the NFL currently is experiencing with concussions.

Trustees Learn of Benefits of SBDC to Area Businesses
The Trustees of Iowa Lakes Community College met at the Spencer campus Tuesday afternoon to learn about academic programs at the campus and what the Small Business Development Center does for economic development in this region of the state.
Mary Faber, Director of the Spencer campus, mentioned the upgrades in campus facilities and then focused on the importance of the Allied Health Advisory Boards.
"The members of these boards are so valuable to us, because they help us align our academic programs with the standards of the working world," Faber said.
She reported that the input of these advisory boards is utilized to fashion curriculum so that students have the skills needed to be members of a strong workforce. One of the Spencer programs Massage Therapy was expanded to the Algona campus this summer.
Faber then introduced Kelly McCarty, Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which is based at the Spencer campus.
McCarty works with entrepreneurs in 10 counties in northwest Iowa, providing practical, hands-on assistance to all types of businesses from start-ups to 500 employee firms, to companies with new and promising technologies.
The college and SBDC have been partners in economic development for more than 25 years, assisting hundreds of aspiring and existing entrepreneurs in starting or growing their businesses.
McCarty shared statewide statistics along with specific data from his office. Since 2007, the Iowa Small Business Development Centers statewide have counseling 15,172 clients, creating or saving 9,372 jobs. That work gave birth to 908 new businesses, growing their sales by some $180 million and attracting over $330 million in new capital.
"This year from October 2012 through May 2013 this center has counseled 137 clients, saw 13 new businesses started creating 80 new jobs and retaining 25 jobs," said McCarty. "That attracted new capital of $4.4 million and saw sales grow by $3.3 million."
McCarty's office is one of 15 regional business assistance centers in the state.
"The Northwest Iowa SBDC offers continued assistance in marketing, recordkeeping and general business management consulting," commented McCarty.
Services are free, confidential and customized to the needs of each business person. In addition, McCarty offers a series of seminars, workshops and entrepreneurial development activities.
The SBDC is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
In other business Tuesday afternoon, Clark Marshall, Executive Director of Economic Development and Continuing Education, discussed the 260E New Jobs Training Project for Simonsen Iron Works. The Trustees voted to transfer the training agreement to Thurston Manufacturing, the company which purchased the Spencer plant in mid-May.
An update on several projects was given by Delaine Hiney, Executive Director of Facilities Management. Contractors are drilling the geo-thermal wells at the Sustainable Energy Resource Technology Building in Estherville and preparatory work for the new swine facility at the College Farm Lab is moving forward.
Bob L'Heureux, Vice President of Administration, presented the fees for the Iowa Community College Online Consortium classes along with Ed-to-Go tuition. The Trustees approved the fees.
The Trustees learned of a new initiative to increase student recruitment and retention from Jolene Rogers, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement. The office teamed with the Admissions office to contact recent Iowa Lakes graduates via an electronic post card. So far, 19 referrals have been made.
In other business, the Trustees received general committee updates.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees is scheduled for Tuesday, July 16 in Algona.

I recall anchoring in the gap after my first 'late' night in Ifaty and watching the flawless lefts and rights rolling through either side of me. What an awakening! Unless you lived in J-Bay, Gnarloo or Oyster Point twenty years ago you won't have any idea what its like to surf perfect crowdless waves until you too drop anchor in the gap off Ifaty.

To the sceptic - Thats the beauty of this spot, its a left and a right. I saw the waves breaking flawlesly in '95. Totally empty. A serious wave a few km from shore out in the open ocean. Stayed with chez Michelin north of that whacky wild west beach-bar town. Good memories...I wonder what the place is like now.

Tyax Lodge Heli-skiing (TLH) offers skiers extra bang for their buck if they happen to have legs like a downhill racer. The program at TLH is based on one group per chopper and unlimited vertical skiing with all of their packages.
Situated in the steep Chilcotin Mountains of British Columbia, TLH has tenure reaching into the eastern Coast Range as well. Big mountain lines, long glacier runs, and even the occasional tree and pillow line are all there for the taking. At the end of every run, one of TLH's Bell 212s waits for you, instead of you waiting for the chopper.
A typical day with unlimited vertical is about ten runs, with a guest record of twenty-five, and an average week of skiing for 2012 ranged from 40,000-55,000 meters, according to TLH's statistics. Ten guests and two guides are assigned each aircraft in the morning, so if you assemble nine of your fastest, strongest ski buddies, you will be in for one serious heli-ski trip.
A newly renovated lodge has a sleek feel, and a fireside dining room and bar round it out as a cozy base. On down days, or to work the lactic acid out of your legs from the unlimited vertical beat-down, Tyax lodge offers Canadian pastimes like Nordic skiing, ice-skating, hockey, ice fishing, and snowmobiling.
TLH also offers combo tours to fit into a Whistler Blackcomb ski vacation.
Travel: Fly into Vancouver or Whistler's Pemberton airport; TLH Resort will pick you up and take you to their lodge.
Basic package: Three days of heli-skiing, lodging with unlimited vertical heli-skiing, transfers to and from the lodge from Vancouver or Whistler (a combination of land and air transfers), use of all facilities at Tyax Wilderness Resort & Spa, meals, avalanche equipment and powder skis included.
Years in Business: Twenty-one
Size of Tenure: 830,000 acres
Snowfall: 14-18 meters
Size of Group: Four or ten guests; one group per helicopter.
Guarantee: Guaranteed vertical, depending on which package you choose, varies from 11,900 meters 39,400 meters. There is a refund of $112.00 per thousand meters for unused portions of that vertical guarantee.
How They Charge: From $4,230 CAN for three days and three nights
