text: Set Your Thermostat for Maximum Comfort and Savings Posted February 5, 2015 A programmable thermostat makes controlling your home comfort effortless, plus it can help you save some money. You can program it around your routine, so won't have to pay to heat your home when you're not around. With the erratic weather in Muskogee, a programmable thermostat can ensures your home's temperature is exactly where you want it, when you want it there. The best way to get started with your programmable thermostat is to take some time to evaluate your family's schedule. By doing this, you can plan how to program your thermostat so you don't uselessly consume energy when no one is home, but you can avoid anyone coming home to a house that's uncomfortable because it's too hot or too cold. Some people just take the time to adjust their thermostat before and after work, but why go through extra hassle when the programmable thermostat was made to make your life easier and your home more comfortable? You just need to set it and forget it… and saving on energy is the icing on the cake. For the most efficient system operation, program your thermostat for large periods of time and limit your temperature changes to 10 degrees or less. This practice will save you money and keep you comfortable in your home. Many people don't realize that it takes your system less energy to keep your home at a fairly constant temperature than it does to turn it on when you get home and try to heat a cold house. A programmable thermostat operates with the same essential functions as a traditional thermostat, but also offers a variety of preprogrammed settings to trim down your energy use and, therefore, potentially cut your energy bills. Preprogrammed settings often include special options for when you are at work or on vacation. Using these settings automatically adjusts your temperature setting whether you're away from Muskogee on vacation or only away from home for the day. Some programmable thermostats allow you to lock the thermostat to prevent kids from accidentally (or purposely) moving the temperature and potentially raising your bill. You should also know that turning up the heat much warmer than you'd normally set it will not help your house warm up rapidly. Many people assume that cranking the heat up in a cold house will warm it up faster, but it doesn't. And it's not uncommon to forget to turn it back down, making the house uncomfortably warm and wasting energy. When you want to ensure your home is always comfortable and would like to save a little money, a programmable thermostat is a great option. To find out more about the many programmable thermostats available and which one might suit your home the best, call Hix Air Conditioning Service, Inc. in Muskogee at 918-682-8238. Back To Blog

Concussion Policy Update
Matoaca Youth Athletics, in partnership with Chesterfield County, will be adopting changes to the programs concussion policy effective July 1, 2014. Below we have provided a few links to help our Parents/Athletes better understand the symptoms and risks associated with TBI's. Stay tuned for more updates.
Every year in the United States, more than 173,000 athletes up to age 19 are treated for sports and recreation-related Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), many of which are concussions. Children and teens are more likely to get a concussion and take longer to recover than adults. And the bad news is that TBI occurrences continue to rise.
Effective July 1, 2014, the Virginia General Assembly approved an amendment to § 22.1-271.5 of the Code of Virginia regarding concussions. With this new ruling, Chesterfield County now requires all organized groups providing youth recreation programs, athletic instruction or events on county facilities be required to have a concussion policy that either (i) follows the local school division policy, (ii) meets the standards of the Board of Education or (iii) creates one that meets a follows the established guidelines. A copy of the amended law appears later in this manual.
Compliance with this law will now be a condition for co-sponsorship and applies to use of school facilities and parks and recreation facilities. "Non-interscholastic youth sports program" refers to any organized recreational program offering athletic competition or athletic instruction for youth.

Likely not a great place to ask this question, but I'm not getting traction on MS Project 2010 forums.
I dont' use Project often (cause I'm a developer) but when I do, I change a the "level algorithum" in Project to using Task ID as priority.
This is not a well known feature, but rather than add dependencies, and resources into a simple plan before leveling it - this change in the leveling algorithum causes all tasks to level just like they were connected via the Finish-Start dependency, in the order of their Task ID.
It's beautiful, and makes Project work nicely when laying down a very linear plan like a software development project.
In previous versions, this change was made under Project, Options, Advanced .... I haven't used it for years, but it was there in 2007.
Wondering if it's still there in 2010... I found the File, Options, Advanced - but can't see where the leveling calculation is. It seems they have gone to either a fully manual mode, or a fully automatic mode.

The Memory Lane project address a new research line related to capture and recognition of human activities for well-being of people with special needs. The project is done by to research groups with large experience in previous works in the application field and complementary scientific/technical expertise; CVLab in activity recognition by computer vision and HOWLab in ambient intelligence environments, sensor networks and wireless communications. This proposal addresses the problem of labelling the scenario and the activities by fusioning data from images and audio as well as the information provided by other electronics sensor spreaded along the environment and on the user. On the other hand, the focus on this approach is not in the user, as carried out in previous projects, but in the environment around the subject, since he/she is wearing a portable camera.
Clinical context Dementia, a leading cause of disability in the elderly, currently affects nearly 10 million people in Europe and over 35 million worldwide. Rising at unprecedented rates, these figures are projected to increase to 14 and 65.7 million respectively by 2030. The socioeconomic repercussions are equally staggering. In Europe alone, the total costs of dementia amount to over €180 billion in 2010 and are estimated to exceed €250 billion by 2030. The aforementioned inflict a significant burden on healthcare systems, society and the economy, necessitating effective treatment means, while preserving quality of life for the people affected and for their carers.
The goal of this project is about providing a tool to automatically and unobtrusively create a contextualized life-blog for people with special needs and make it available for later context-dependent retrieval. Such life-blog will contain images and sounds as perceived by the person, chronologically ordered and automatically tagged by the system providing them with contextual meaning. Thus, it will be possible to make searches of events or applying different algorithms to create different applications such as exercising the memory by revising emotional bindings with the past, serving as task tutorial when memory worsens, and working as alarm detection, evaluating person's quality of life or just for entertainment. We also propose to validate the system with some users.
Project overview
Maria example
It is obvious that the population in Europe is becoming older. This proposal is related to Ambient Assisted Living in the aim to extend the time during which elderly people can live independently in their preferred environment with the support of Information and Communication Technologies. Following scenario illustrate our objectives:
Maria is a 70 years old person who lives autonomously making all daily living tasks at home; she observes some slight decline of her cognitive capacities and thus she decides to test the new memory lane system. The system is installed in Maria's home and she is trained in its use. In the initial phase, training of the system is necessary, so Maria must supervise the learning process. This supervision process is settled as natural as possible: when realizing new activities, Maria pronounces the key words to label them; when reviewing the life-blog of the day, the system proceeds to classify the different activities reviewed and asks to Maria for the corresponding verbal approval or correction.
As training process increases the recognition performance, fewer activities are delivered to the Maria supervision. After few weeks using it, Maria is used to the system and very happy with it. The electric sensor determines which appliance (oven, TV, washing machine, etc.) is being used, wearable sensor tracks and registers Maria's movement at home, microphone recognizes Maria's words, camera saves snapshots, image & sound processed identifies Maria's activities…all together constitutes Maria's life-blog. As all the information is stored in a computer she has at home, she (and her son Eduardo) doesn't have any privacy concerns. From time to time and thanks to its intuitive search interface, she revises the contents and show parts of the life-blog to her visits (e.g. when her grandsons visited her, the procedure to cook her special tiramisu, etc.).
Few years after (and many Terabytes of data), Maria is still autonomous but she finds difficult to remember some of her recipes or how to program the washing machine. In order to help her, a screen has been installed in the kitchen and Maria can use the system as a personalized tutorial tool to see how she did things. Eduardo sees how his mother is losing some of her capacities and fears she can have an accident while she is alone. As Maria wants to remain at home, the system activates its realtime monitoring and alarm capacity. This feature also respects Maria's private life as no sensible data is sent outside the house.
The system now locally analyses Maria activities and compares them with previous data stored in order to find different events. One day the system sends a message to Eduardo indicating that there might be a problem at Maria's as she didn't leave home (there is a sensor for that in the door) and there has been no morning activity in the kitchen (something unusual as Maria haves breakfast between 9 and 11 every morning). Eduardo goes to his mother's and find her fallen in the bedroom's floor. She has been there for two hours (falls are primary etiology of accidental deaths in elderly and early detection exponentially reduces mortality). Thanks to the quick attention and after a recovery time in hospital, Maria gets back to home.
Now a social worker periodically visits her to asses her quality of life through personal interviews. The information gathered this way is of great importance, nevertheless it is somehow limited: Personal interviews are influenced by known factors such as empathy between social worker and elderly (that may modify the person's mood and consequently produce a bias) and also variability on the person's mood throughout the day, week, etc. (observation in an interview is an isolated event in time which may produce a bias). In order to complement the said information, the Quality of Life Evaluation module is activated. This feature periodically analyses main features of activities detected and compares them with all previous

- The intervention is an integrated community based holistic plenary on 'water and sanitation' issues of urban poor, inhabiting the slums of Kolkata metropolis in West Bengal, Guwahati in Assam and Shillong in Meghalaya. It propounds a sustainable revenue return model for unrestricted access to WHO recommended safe drinking water through micro-retail services for community and clean sanitation facility. The WASH program is implemented by South Asian Forum for Environment [SAFE] in the name as 'WASH-US'(Water Sanitation and Hygiene for Urban Slums) in West Bengal and NEWS-UP (Nonconventional Energy in Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor) in Assam & Meghalaya. The facility shall have an improvised solar run water-treatment plant sustained on harvested surface water in ponds and supplying budgeted volume of drinking water to slum dwellers at a nominal and affordable price of INR 0.20 per litre (USD 0.004), along with a common hygienic sanitation unit for them. Community enjoys the facility with a contributory 'service fee' for maintenance of the facility and also earns revenue by micro-retailing the excess of potable water to urban consumers in the area. A biogas plant fed with the refuse of community toilet and other organic garbage of the area supplies to a community kitchen in the day time and generates electricity to illuminate strategic points at night for the safety and security of womenfolk. The proposal importantly focus on three primary aspects
- Access to safe water for all, ensuring community governance towards budgeted and wise-use of water resources and its recovery as well.
- Establish a sustainable revenue linked participatory model for healthy and sanitized environment to all, by developing community ownership and warranted attitude change in sanitation habit
- Integrate the community intervention on water and sanitation with a 'low-carbon' initiative by reducing emission footprints and prompting the use of renewable energy through reciprocity and equity.
The proposed programme is aligned to newly drafted National Water and Sanitation Policy in India, propounding right to clean drinking water and sanitation to all, wherein the water resources ministry has suggested that the access to safe drinking water and sanitation be regarded as a right. The policy has prioritized regional preferences of action to address the statistical gap in achieving national targets wherein only 42.2% people in Jharkhand, Bihar & West Bengal have access to clean drinking water and sanitation compared to Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand having nearly 90% coverage. The proposal also promotes national mandate of developing 100% open defecation free peri-urban areas.
Clean water is touted as "Next Oil" in recent times and UNDP report (2010-11) states that slum dwellers do not have proper and equal access to drinking water recommended by WHO. Though the MDG of UN Task Force for free access to clean drinking water to all is next to impossibility in peri-urban slums of India, this proposal tries to deliver a sustainable solution by developing a revenue return model and cross subsidizing the commodity so that poorest of the poor can afford it. It is, therefore, a community partnership model for access to water and sanitation for all, where participatory decision is facilitated with technology support, strategic assessment and adaptive management for accomplishing the core objectives. Mainstay of the proposed process is a 3-tier design, which represents a community centre run by the WSHGs that supplies safe drinking water in budgeted volume to the beneficiaries, accounts for the revenue returns from excess of production and runs a biogas fed community kitchen roaster facility as a value added service for the community women. The other value added services like community lighting and production of organic fertilizer from the biogas slurry are also extended to the beneficiaries as alternative economic opportunities and better lifestyle. Administration, operation and accounting are maintained by members of WSHGs in rotation, for which they earn remuneration from the collected revenues.
Mainstay facility comprise of the solar run water treatment plant with a 24X7 Water-ATM and 24 units of Biosanitation facilities connected to a Biogas plant and a generator unit installed by the implementing agency under the supervision of technology partner of the consortium and to be maintained by the trained community members. The implementing organization helps in community convergence to use the sanitation facility on sharing basis and develop sanitary habits, whereas they also bring in changes in attitude of wise-use of water through sensitization. In compensating the opportunity cost the lead organization will help them through capacity building for alternative economic opportunity and create direct and indirect employment opportunities as technical service provider or through extension services of microutility retail supply of water, biogas and organic fertilizer. The convergence is brought through free health camps, awareness campaign on health, hygiene, and environment. It also ensures community interventions for rainwater harvesting and integrated solid waste management. The members of the community are brought under financial inclusion program through bank linkage & microinsurance program.
A 'Project Monitoring and Regulation Committee (PMRC)' has been formed with local stakeholders, technology providers and local administration to assess the progress intermittently from the date of inception. The committee designed 'SMART' verifiable indicators to assess the deliverables in midterm & term-end phases. Regular feedback on equity, reciprocity, accessibility and availability will be monitored and collected through various processes. Participatory vulnerability analysis (PVA), attitude scaling and survey methodologies will strategically deploy adaptive management for sustainable growth. The reporting occurs through circulated information, discussion and knowledge sharing.
Currently six units are working in eastern and north eastern India at Kolkata, Guwahati & Shillong benefitting nearly 12000 urban poor in 8 slums. The project has been longlisted by Ashden International this year and has won UN Water for Life Award in 2015 COP21, Paris.

Johnson targets England place
Johnson has been included in several of Fabio Capello's provisional squads without making the final breakthrough. But the 28-year-old is hoping that is about to change after signing a four-year deal with Mick McCarthy's side. Johnson said: "From the age of 28 to 32 is probably when you're at your peak - so I feel on top of my game. "I feel I've developed 10-fold since I've been in the Premier League. That's why it wasn't an option to go down to the Championship. "Playing in the Premier League was a factor in the decision (to go to Wolves) and the England thing comes with that. "It's down to me to perform to as good a standard as the England manager will want for his team." Johnson added: "I spoke to (England assistant boss) Franco Baldini and he said 'keep doing what you're doing, you're close'. "It's disappointing when you get into the provisional squad and it gets cut to 23 and my name isn't in it. "You're waiting for that phone call and then you find out off TV like everyone else if you're not in it. "But hopefully being back in the Premier League now I can fight for that position. "I'm that close. A couple of injuries and hopefully I get that chance. "To get that call would be a great honour. If I can perform to the levels I've done in the last couple of seasons, then you never know."

There's sort of some rhyme and reason to my cheese-buying habits. One fromagerie might have the most amazing butter, so I'll trek over to the place St. Paul to buy a packet of it. But if I want a round of Selles-sur-Cher, I'll go to the fromager at the marche d'Aligre who always has beautiful ones on display. For St. Nectaire and Cantal, I'll only buy those from the husky Auvergnate dude at my market on Sunday mornings and refuse to even taste one from anywhere else. His are just so good, I don't bother doing any comparison shopping.
Last week my neighbors from San Francisco came to visit and I took them to my Sunday market, where I figured we could gather the ingredients for a semi-homemade meal, sans the tablescape.
Of course, I picked out a crispy-skinned poulet crapaudine (actually, I got one-and-a-half, since I can eat a whole one by myself and I hate sharing), we got some not-fabulous bread (my bread guy, Jacques, stopped coming to the market on Sunday—zut!), but I dialed in on the cheese stands, since so matter how fabulous the food is in the Bay Area, French cheeses are undeniably amazing.
I picked up a few tiny Rocamadours, little creamy disks made from raw goat's milk, each about the size of a silver-dollar that barely made it home before their creamy insides running out all over my market basket. I also had a jumbo slab of Salers since I love the guy that sells it. And a herb-covered Brin d'Amour, since I love the guy that sells that too. Although in a completely different way.
But the star of the show, at least for me, is Comté, which I'm told is the most popular cheese in France. I don't know if that's true, but it's the most popular cheese in my bouche and I'm never without a slab. Resist the temptation to buy the less-expensive ones. They're good, but compared with the ones aged 18 to 30 months, well…there's just no comparison. You can be cheap about other things, but the ordinary ones have the same amount of calories as the blow-your-mind ones. So you may as well get the good ones, even at the risk of your mind blowing out. Trust me, minds are overrated. I've been there.
Silly Americans like me always have to complicate things and when I first moved to France, I'd buy, like, ten different kinds of cheese to make a cheese plate. Not that I'm complaining, but I'd have way too much left over and it was just too much for David. And I'd spend the rest of the week gorging on cheese. Not that that's a bad thing, but Levi's (pronounced lev-eez) are expensive here and there's only so many pairs a guy can bust through.
So I stopped that silliness and started buying a maximum of three cheeses when having guests, usually choosing a nice goat cheese, for its tang, something soft and creamy, like Roquefort or a bleu d'Auvergne, and always a tumescent slab of Comté.
But lately, I've decided it's best to just have one perfect cheese, and enjoy that in all its splendor. Not only does it allow me to not feel guilty for spending more than I might think prudent, but it's really nice to just have one incredibly delicious cheese to concentrate on.
And right now, Comté is the only one on my mind. Although it's starting to show up in a completely different place.

I want to hear more about these cheese guys that you love! Then I can be distracted from my own issues with busted-out levi's . . . .The downside of spring is the peeling off of the winter clothes before you have a chance to peel off the winter fat, eh?
Comté is my FAVORITE cheese. I love it with all my heart. If I was going on a desert island I would pick Comté. How I miss it…
love this "semi-homemade meal, sans the tablescape"
You had me laughing through this entire post! I would love to see your version of a tablescape…
Apart from all things baked, cheese one of my weaknesses. I am very jealous at the thought of the no doubt extensive selection and choice of cheese you have in France. I do not even want to think about all the creamy and sharp and fragrant cheeses I have never tasted. (Not in one sitting, of course!) I have not tried Comté. Sounds like a bit of a 'must sample'. Will hunt around and see what I can find…..
God cheese is just one of those things I absolutely must have in my house at all times. I am so jealous of all of your cheese vendor options though! I've got maybe three, tops. Which I'm sure means I've been eating some subpar comte.
There is nothing sexier than a grilled Comté cheese sandwich, I tell ya.
comté is really popular in france, but I think the most popular cheese is bad emmenthal :D, and, of course le clacos !
I just love comté, it has the same magical ingredient as the peanuts, that makes us grabing and eating some again and again and again ♥.
One little squared piece of comté with a picture perfect round drop of honey on top of it, and i'm closer to paradise than I ever will. both flavor enhance themselves a lot, it's unbeleivable.
(damn, I do not get what a tablescape is, I feel that i'm missing something really funny here !)
Hello David,
Comte is the best selling AOC cheese in France…..bad Emmental…as previously noted is the best seller overall. Curious about how a slab of cheese can be tumescent…but if anyone can make a slab tumescent it is you!
i love cheese! but oddly i have never come across comte before! i dont think its popular here on my side of the world, but im hoping the cheese shop near my place carries it. ooooh, what a perfect excuse to go there today!
Reading the word "tumescent" made me blush a little.
Beautiful pictures and great post! And thanks for introducing me to the word "tumescent"!
David–merci beaucoup for this post. Wonderful timing!
It's my birthday today–and what do my thoughtful friends get for me to celebrate? Most would think candles, cake, but no, not for me–not for moi who recently spent a glorious month in Paris. No, I have a lovely hunk of Comté to share (or to hoard…either way.) Folks may already know abou this, but if you live in the Boston/Cambridge area, you MUST try the Comté at Formaggio Kitchen. (http://www.formaggiokitchen.com/) I have the 16-24 month version, which is to die for, though in the winter they had wheels of the 36 month which is even more sublime. Comté out-fromages every cheese for me– though I have to admit that this little pyramid of ashen, moldy Valencay is also pretty nice. (Oh, and Formaggio will also ship your Comté, granted for a price.)
As far as I know, it is the most popular cheese in france and with a reason… It's also one of my favorite cheeses, I can't really pick just one.
Funny funny David – from the "tablescape" to the cheese guys. I am going out to get me some Comte' tomorrow.
You're killing me! Among my favorite meals is "cheese night".. where we feast on good wine, a perfect cheese platter, and a salad tossed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing with crispy chunks of lardon on top! Heaven… absolute heaven! Being expats we have guests (friends who became even friendlier once we moved abroad) staying with us at least once a month and my "go to" meal for eating at home with visitors staying more than 4 days is "cheese night". It's easy, elegant and oh so good!
When we lived in Paris I always bought my cheese at Barthélémy at # 51, Rue Grenelle. Funnily enough, the fromager never had a problem understanding my American accent when I spoke French until I ordered a bleu cheese… and then he/she never had any idea what I was requesting! "Mais, c'est le même mot en anglaise et français," I protested each time they misunderstood my pronunciation of bleu/blue!
If you get a chance, there is a wide range of Comtés at the Salon Fermiers, and it's quite an education. Really interesting, and so many things to do and see.
Also? When I buy what I can find here in the US, it irritates the CRAP out of me when the little 19 year old behind the counter corrects my pronunciation–"It's COMB tay," she says.
I resist the urge to smack her.
very amusing about the tablescape. agree with just one show stopper cheese instead of several!
Dear David,
I envy you living in the land of real cheese, I try really hard to find great cheese here in Maine (it's hard milking a moose!) and I have to admit some people are making a real effort, I have found a runny Camembert locally made…but you!, you have all those choices and I bet 90% of them are divine. I have to say my personal favourite is bleu d'Auvergne, I could happily live on that and that alone.
More cheese postings please,
Merci beaucoup……
I, too, am totally obsessed with Comte. I find myself going to the Cheese Board in Berkeley about every other week, each time getting a bigger and bigger piece, hoping I can stretch out the time between visits to this wonderful, but always busy store, and horrified that I am spending $50 on 1 hunk of cheese–it's over 2 pounds at this point. But loving every bite.
My guilty pleasure was finding myself alone on New Year's Eve so I made a baked macaroni and cheese with Comte. After it was done, I started enjoying it and then I remembered I had a jar of sliced black winter truffles stashed away in my cupboard and added a slice to each bite until I had eaten the entire jar myself. That was the perfect accompaniement to Comte mac n' cheese and a great way to start '09.
Comte (or cave-aged Gruyere) is my desert island cheese.
Not long ago, in the midst of running errands, I had a sudden intense craving for it. So I pulled over to The Cheese Board, bought a hunk and ate it like a candy bar in the car on my way to the next errand. I only wished I had a bottle of wine to wash it down! But others (especially law enforcement) might look down on that, so I refrained.
I've never told anyone about that until now.
That was a fantastic post. I have been at a music festival in England all week and apparently they don't really DO cheese here. I cannot wait to get back to New York and get in on this. :P
beverly, your new year mac n cheese sounds divine!
I think I need a "husky Auvergnate dude" in my life. (Who doesn't?)
Comté with vin jaune de Jura . . .
Ah, Comté…such a wonderful cheese. And always a crowd pleaser.
I agree with what you're saying about savoring just one, quality cheese as opposed to confusing the palate with too many.
These cheeses certainly look a lot more appetizing than the picture of the maggot-infested cheese you posted on FaceBook!
These comments are better than the Comté commercials on French TV…! Although I do have to say a good Pélardon (from my 'hood) is right up there.
Comté and "Beaufort", are my favourite chease! with a nice glass of white wine… Unfortunately, in France, best selling cheese are bad ementhal and Camembert, from supermarket! In France, if you buy good cheeses in a traditionnal cheese shop it's quite expensive (20 or 30 euros/kg) but you're shure to buy quality. On sundays evenings, I often invite my friends around a "cheese meal": 10 sorts of differents french cheeses, good wines, an of course different sorts of breads… Mmmmm!
I adore comte and those lovely little goats cheeses (I have a dream of one day having my own goat and making those little round goats cheeses by hand….), but what about the amazing camemberts and bries? They are so much better than what we call "camembert" in Canada….
I use comté in place of emmenthal in all my gratins. What a difference a comté makes…
We visited Selles-sur-Cher and I kept looking for the goats!
anything cheese is good…goat or no goat around. :)
Comté is gorgeous, but I am beginning to look forward to my trip to the Vosges in June, and buying artisanal cheeses in the market there. Fresh St-Marcellin, in particular, which I adore, and artisanal Tomme de Savoie for the Husband. (And ravioles. Toujours les ravioles….. je m'en raffole!).
Okay, what is the bloomed rind cheese pictured at the top of your post? It looks like goat, but looks a bit tall for a rocamadour and is too white for selles-sur-cher. Mostly I want to know so I can find it because it looks like it would be heaven to cut into with a flaky, tangy flesh toward the center and more aged and oozing toward the rind. Or maybe I'm just projecting my cheese fantasies….
When I worked at a cheese shop, Comte was one of our top five sellers (the others were 5-year gouda, ewephoria, fromage d affinois and roaring 40's tasmanian blue). I love how the salt crystals contrast with the smoothness of it.
Sara: I don't remember! I must've eaten it too fast. It was some chèvre, and likely didn't have a real name.
Dominique: Je ne comprends pas why anyone one would buy supermarket "camembert" when the good wheels are so close…and so good! But I guess people in the US buy American slices (that funny orange cheese that comes in slices, wrapped individually in plastic) when there's decent cheddar just a few feet away.
Accidental Parisian: You'll have to fight for him. I think he's a pretty popular guy…and not just for the cheese!
Thank you for sparing us from the tablescape.
You've inspired me to hit up the Cheese Cellar to gather treats for a gluttons dinner.This is the only place to buy cheese in Seattle, it's one thing I miss about the Hamptons great cheese was everywhere.
Mind is overrated…you just made my weekend :)
Could that beautiful goat cheese pictured at the top of your post be a crottin? So good with figs or a dried fig and almond cake…
Lovely post David, and if I may can I suggest to Gwen K your posts on Neals Yard for a peep at just how England does do cheese? The best of Cheddars are often just as complex and gorgeous as Comte. Poacher, Keens, Montgomery – you can usually buy some or all of these at any good local deli or market. Please do try them and I hope you will find something you will love.
Thank you for reminding me of my long held belief that cheese is a food group unto itself!
jo: I second your motion on Neal's Yard. (I linked to my visit above.) It's really one of the world's great places and their cheese even is carried in some of the best fromageries in Paris. I would imagine there's other cheesemakers in the UK that aren't as well known, but who produce excellent cheese….I love that Montgomery cheddar, too.
But you forgot to mention Stilton and Shropshire! ; )
Ahh, thank you! That's what that was called!!! I had this cheese at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, MI (I know, not the same thing as France) and it was soo delicious. But I couldn't remember the name until now. Thanks David! It was heavenly.
There's nothing like a good French cheese from a French farmers' market or fromagerie. I'm totally jealous…and salivating. I miss it so…
I've just bought a sliver of comte at the market for $65/kg. So I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALIKING ABOUT!!!! You should've seen the expression on my boyfrne'd face when he heard how much that little sliver costs. But he changed his mind after his first bite, and I got to tell him 'I told you so' in a very smug manner. And I agree with you that life is just too short for cheap Comte!
Christy: Yikes! $65/kg is un peu cher. That does hurt..
Normally the best thirty-month comté is around €30/kg, at most, and the regular ones are €20/kg or less. One thing you should look for is comté fruité, which usually indicates a better comté.
i wish you were here in LA for the LA times festival of books! that australian cutie curtis stone is gonna be here at ucla then…
krysalia – watch Sandra Lee (I think that's her name) on the Food Network to find out what a "tablescape" is. You will find yourself fascinated in a horrible kind of way. Must go buy Comte now.
While in London last summer, we bought Comté from the Borough Cheese Co stall at the market. We savored every bite! Thanks for the Cheese Board tip, I'll have to pick some up tonight (incidentally we're going to dinner at David's old workplace in that neighborhood :)
Jean Marie> hmm… I probably won't see sandra lee because I only have "cuisineTV" here (I'd love to have those american food networks !). But i'll search with that name, maybe i'll find on google :D, thanks !
Krysalia: Some of the shows are Cuisine.tv are good (I have a soft spot for Desserts with Benoit) but whenever that show with Carine Teyssandier comes on, I have to run and turn off the volume. That woman's voice makes me fou!
I wish they didn't VF Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver, too. C'est chiant…
That Selles-sur-Cher looks so delicate. It's like a small yarn cushion, with fine yard woven around it.
I think the goat cheese pictured at the beginning of your post is "crottin de Chavignol".
At least, it looks like it!
Thank you for your marvellous blog!
I agree with you david, cuisine TV has some nice shows. My soft spot is for Gontran Cherrier, really appetizing (I mean, his breads are nice, too).
Ha, karine teyssandier… Did you know that she has her own really detailed page on wikipedia ? I can't stand Eric -proud/dull- Leautey either, seeng them both on screen nearly makes the remote jumping right into my hand by itself :D
And I also agree about the VF on Gordon Ramsay and J. Oliver, c'est TRES chiant, even for french native speakers :D
Oops! Thanks for the correction : )
It's un peu triste, Cuisine.tv. I like when they do shows about going to places and learning about the cheese, or the flour, or how something is made. The shows done in the studio are très 'cheap'…like Yumissimo and the awful 'Calorie Commando'…-dl
After tasting the 30 month old one, with the little white specks, grains of salt, difficult to settle for less.
Olivier, being from Lyon where Comté is the second most local cheese after Saint Marcellin of course, eats the rind.
I need to give you the little "Gaufres Meert" or they will get stale!
I was at a wine tasting recently with a group of eager students.
When we sat down we were given a glass for wine drinking and a knife to cut away pieces of the cheese set on a plate before us. Were asked to taste the wines and then later, sample the cheese along with the wines to see how the flavors effected the wine.
The cheese we were given, of course, was the Comte. There was something quite mild about the Comte that fooled me into thinking it didn't have much flavor. But then, as I continued tasting the wine, I realized the sweet, nutty flavors of the cheese were lingering on my palate. The flavors started so mild, so demure…and then I was finished by the cheese. I completely stopped drinking the wine and focused mainly on eating every last morsel of that tasty Comte.
You're right. The stuff is dangerous.

Oh, calorie commando :( … this is so sad, I almost get sorry for the contestants and the hostess. "tadamm", and you see awfull plates with bitter erzatz, uncoloured replacements, tasteless ingredients… and she tries to smile and to say "hey, how appetitizing don't you think ?? "
mouahaha… HUH? "NO". plain and simple :D.
Yumissimo is cheap too, but what I do not like and I think is cheaper is "24mn chrono". I love laurent mariotte but in that show, the recipes and the images are so cheap it's nearly depressing, I need two nigella's and two "silence ça pousse" to recovery from this :) .
"to recoveR from this", sorry (and for god-knows-how-many-other mistakes I've made).
Do you respond to old posts? I am looking to do a tour of the Comte region in France next year with some friends, any recommendations?

"Impacts of Five Expeditionary Learning Middle Schools on Academic Achievement"
Expeditionary Learning middle schools in Washington and New York City improved mathematics and reading learning, particularly for students who remained with the project-based school model for all three years of middle school.
That's the conclusion of a new longitudinal study by Mathematica Policy Research that matched students in Expeditionary Learning schools with demographically similar district students.
Students who stayed in the program for three years gained, on average, seven months more learning in reading and 10 months more in math than their counterparts in other district schools.

Few human activities demand or deserve as much attention of the citizens of a nation as the array of man-made and natural "environmental" threats faced by the soldiers and other warriors defending the nation – those that pose the risk of disease, injury, combat wounds, and even death. This book is the Army's first detailing research in computational physiology models and highlighting pivotal research. It outlines the extent to which basic and applied biomedical scientists, clinicians, modelers, and others strive to understand the extent of these threats, and provide intellectual and materiel options to mitigate these risks.
This book summarizes major Army research efforts to quantify and model military relevant physiology. These chapters highlight the translation of this research into useful predictive tools. The tools are of importance to medical planners, materiel developers, commanders, and in many cases, every soldier. These chapters detail the experimental basis for many of the predictive tools that are currently in use.
Table of Contents:
1. Predicting Human Limits - The Special Relationship Between Physiology Research and the Army Mission
2. Modeling the Physiological and Medical Effects of Exposure to Environmental Extremes
3. Measuring and Predicting Sleep and Performance During Military Operations
4. Performance-Maintaining and Performance-Enhancing Drugs and Food Components
5. In Vivo Diagnostics and Metrics in the Assessment of Laser-Induced Retinal Injury
6. Nutrition and Military Performance
7. Water Requirements and Soldier Hydration
8. Evaluation of the Thermal Environment
9. Protection of the Skin
10. Blast Injury: Translating Research into Operational Medicine
11. Load Carriage in Military Operations: A Review of Historical, Physiological, Biomechanical, and Medical Aspects
12. Injury Control
This book is written for military clinicians and medical researchers who may be reasonably expected to explain some of the background of quantitative physiology, as well as those who will extend the research. Many people will find this book interesting because it details research on topics that affect everyone in everyday life, including how we sleep, eat, and exercise, as well as more specific topics such as the effects of caffeine on performance, risks associated with laser pointers, and even Army blast models that have influenced safety thresholds for car airbag deployments.

Let's face it: There aren't too many of us (myself included) who have time to get a blow out every single day. And while in a perfect world we would have gorgeous beachy waves in a pinch, sometimes we need a quick fix to make our hair look good. Enter: braids. Creating a braided hairstyle is the perfect solution when you want to look put together but you don't have time for perfecting your mane. It's my go-to when I'm trying to make my hair last between blowouts, and it works every time. Which is why I was recently inspired to research a few new ways to plait my tresses…
Each of the hairstyles below will be a perfect compliment to your fall wardrobe.
1. Braided bun
2. French braided bun
3. Knotted side braid
4. Bohemian side braid
5. Knotted milkmaid braid
6. Full braided crown
7. Half braided crown

This is the fourth in a series of posts in which I explain why I respect certain people in the animation industry and why you should do the same.
Via: the ASIFA-East aNYmator
A long time ago (OK, not that long ago) I met David B. Levy. I'd never heard of him before, I wasn't aware of any of his work and I certainly was aware that he was the President of ASIFA-East. Suffice to say, after that evening I was!
David is one the finest ambassadors that the New York animation scene has today and is absolutely one of the nicest people I've ever met. Such praise is not faint. Who in their right mind would give an Irish civil engineer the time of day let alone many opportunities to liaise with people inside the industry?
Being a New Yorker, David is immensely proud to be part of the local animation scene and can often be seen cheer leading for the cause over on his blog, Animondays.
It could be argued that he does this only in his capacity as President, but such an argument would be a very shallow one. David truly believes in the creative skill of the local animation community and will often champion the many success it has had and the numerous contributions it has made to animation in general over the years.
Besides all of this, David is also a bestselling author of three books that have won praise from all over the industry for their well-written and personal approach to working in the industry.
For all of this and much, much more that I am far to tired to write about (it;s 8:25 p.m. here at the moment and I have a midnight Harry Potter screening to go to), David B. Levy is someone I respect.

So many people have written lately on just how judgmental other moms can be, and Jen has written a great post on letting go of that tendency to be an "Extreme Parent." And while I could say plenty about that drive for perfection, I'm most interested in contemplating the results of conversations like these.
We have this tendency as parents to be really sensitive about our choices, but we also have tendencies as parents to be judgmental of others' parenting decisions. As a result, we live in this parenting culture where instead of supporting one another through the hardest job we've ever undertaken, we become adversaries. Mary might feed her kid nothing but Super Deluxe Extra Fun Meals from her favorite fast food place while Jane feeds her kid a completely raw, vegan, orange, liquid diet. These two meet, and inevitably both parents feel sensitive about their choices, judged by the other, and even a bit (or more) judgemental of one another's choices. What is this phenomenon? Why can't our parenting choices just be our parenting choices?
It seems to begin with pregnancy: who you choose for pregnancy care, the type of birth you hope to have, the type of birth you do have, whether or not you circumcise your boy, what you name your child, what you do with the cord blood, and so much more. And from there, it just escalates and grows to include how we get our kids to sleep, how and what they are fed during infancy, what sort of diapers they wear, where they sleep, who cares for them, whether they go to daycare, what kind of preschool they attend, and on and on and on.
But why does this happen? Why does Jane care so much about the brand of diapers Mary buys, and why does Mary care so much about where Jane's kid sleeps? How does that affect them?
Honestly, unless they're living together and parenting together, it doesn't.
I suppose my theory is this: Parenting is hard. When it comes down to it, while we may all have theories, hypotheses, assumptions about how this should work, we won't know the outcome for a number of years. We'd like to think we are making the best choices for ourselves and our families, but we've got media and family and other parents throwing other ideas at us all the time, so there's a certain amount of uncertainty and thus even insecurity that comes with parenting. But we have our values and our research and our observations. We have what we know about our kids and our families. We throw all of that together, and we come up with what we think is a pretty good way of parenting our kids.
And then somebody else comes along, and maybe they seem like they've got it together better than we do, or at least they talk that way. This makes us question ourselves. We get a little defensive, and we look for something to judge, and we look for ways to elevate ourselves, and the cycle continues.
(Please, at this point, if you're finding yourself reeling, saying in your mind, "What the hell is she saying? I would never do this!" know that I'm generalizing about our culture of parenting–primarily in the U.S. I am by no means saying this is true of every parent.)
Unfortunately, all of this has created a culture of constant competition. We can't just be moms in support of one another anymore. Instead, we have to size one another up, and while we're at it, see where we stand too. It's exhausting, and it's damaging, and I wish we could all just stop.
What will it take for us to find that support, to be those supportive moms? Is it even possible? Clearly we can't all go to group therapy to learn to stop being so codependent, but maybe I can be more mindful. Maybe I can take a step every day to show another mom that I support her in her choices (so long as she's offering her child love and meeting the child's basic needs–I'm not saying I need to pat abusive parents on the back here). Maybe I can just be open when I hear a different approach than I would take. Maybe I can show interest in how that mom is using those approaches or how they're working out. Maybe if I find myself reacting to something another parent does that doesn't jive with my parenting, I can just stop that reaction and realize that I am parenting my own kid, and that parent is parenting her own kid, and clearly we're making the best decisions for our kids because, after all, we're supposed to be the ones who know our kids the best. Right? Right? I doubt my efforts will change the world, but perhaps we all just need a little more compassion from one another, a little acceptance that it does take all kinds of parents to raise the different kinds of kids we've been given.
I see this at work to some degree in this moms' group I've joined. For the most part, the moms there share similar parenting philosophies, but there are certainly variations, and when there are, the majority of people respond with a spirit of curiosity. They ask questions and discuss how things work. They encourage one another. The group isn't perfect, and there are those defensive, judgmental, sensitive moments, but I'm beginning to see what's possible, and while certainly imperfect and far from mamatopia, it's pretty fascinating, and heartening.
Now, talk to me about this:
Do you think it's possible or even realistic to think we could move past a culture of mommy competitions? Or are we all just doomed to continue this cycle forever?
Are you supportive of other parents' choices even if they aren't choices you would make yourself? Are there any steps you think parents should take to forward a more compassionate, empathetic culture of parenting? Is there any benefit to this competitive culture–something I'm not seeing?
I really look forward to seeing your responses, and I encourage you to ask other parents you know what they think too.
And finally, a disclaimer: I am not writing this in judgment of any one person, group, etc. I am openly critical of this cultural trend, and I am writing to explore potential answers. Please do not take offense if you regularly enjoy Super Deluxe Extra Fun Meals or follow a raw, vegan, orange, liquid diet. Likewise, please avoid emailing death threats if your name happens to be Jane or Mary. These were merely hypothetical examples and were not meant to offend any group, dietary choice, or naming preference. Thank you. 😉

SADC Must Focus
Dewa Mavhinga
The Zimbabwean
6 March 2012
With over three years of the inclusive government and little to show for it in terms of reforms to level the political field and prepare for democratic, non-violent elections, it appears that SADC and Zimbabwe's neighbours should now focus on prevention of violence. This is what United Nations calls the responsibility to protect citizens.
The responsibility to protect principally rests on three pillars (…)
Military intervention is considered the last resort. Instead of continued appeals to president Mugabe and Zanu (PF) to do the reasonable thing and institute meaningful electoral reforms, SADC, and particularly South Africa, should simply spell it out to Mugabe and his so-called hardliners that there is no running away from democratic reforms.
They need to reinforce that the regional bloc will not stand aside and watch Zimbabwe butcher its citizens again while going through the motions of a sham election. To insist on elections when the environment is not right would be a waste of time and resources because such a process will not bring legitimacy if it is not underwritten by SADC.
We, Zimbabwe civil society organizations under the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition banner, fully support the Southern African Development Community Mediator for Zimbabwe, President Jacob Zuma and the SADC organ Troika in their insistence on genuine preparations for democratic elections in Zimbabwe that are without violence or intimidation. We urge SADC leaders when they meet to discuss Zimbabwe on June 11 to present a clear roadmap to free and fair elections in Zimbabwe that SADC leaders can enforce to ensure full compliance. Implementation of agreed reforms under the roadmap should be in accordance with clear time limits.
In line with activating the responsibility to protect mechanism, SADC should directly engage with the United Nations Human Rights Council and the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to closely monitor events on the ground and stand ready to rally the international community to intervene.
We are aware of the slow, and often frustrating efforts to come up with a new constitution, of efforts by parliament to enact electoral reforms, legislation and the law to establish the Human Rights Commission.
However, key justice administration and security sector institutions remain entrenched and partisan towards Zanu (PF). Key mechanisms to prevent violence during elections will be in the form of a strong observation and monitoring presence from SADC, the AU and the UN. SADC should go a step further, once election dates are announced, to deploy a team of peace monitors to Zimbabwe.
With Zanu (PF)'s vocal supporter in the ANC, Julius Malema, now thrown out of the party, it is time for Zanu (PF) to acknowledge the party's policy-shift. - Dewa Mavhinga, Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition Regional Coordinator

Solutions for high water and sewer rates discussed at New Hartford meeting
Officials: Adding people to sewer line will help lower rates
New Hartford >> Short term and long term solutions for alleviating high water and sewer rates were discussed at a special joint meeting between the board of selectman, board of finance and the Water Pollution Control Authority, Tuesday.
Spurring economic development to add more people to the sewer line was a major topic of the discussion, which was held in front of a large crowd at the senior center in town hall.
WPCA chairman Bob Krzys said that a plan needs to be put into place to build out the town to meet the expectations that the water treatment plant was initially built in 2010 to meet.
When the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) first required the town to build a bigger water treatment plant, that recommendation was made on the projection of increased economic development in town. The debt allocation was split so that 39 percent was on the general tax base, 19 percent was on the current users and 42 percent was on new users. Unfortunately that economic development never came to pass, which inadvertently strapped the current users with 61 percent of the debt.
Krzys and other WPCA members said that bringing in economic development, and hooking those newcomers up to the sewer line, would offset the rates of current users. There are three avenues to bring in that development according to him - private or public development or asking DEEP for more loans to extend the current sewer lines.
"Commercial development doesn't come easy here," said First Selectman Dan Jerram. He cited the fact that in the last 25 years there have only been two or three commercial developments.
All members of the board of finance agreed that something needs to be done to alleviate some of the pressure on sewer users.
Jerram said that rezoning has been discussed in the planning and zoning board to possibly, "increase the density in the area around the sewer line," which could help.
WPCA member Bill Michaud told the boards that, on their side, they plan to lien properties and collect interest on funds owed.
However, WPCA member David Rosengren pointed out that putting a lien doesn't actually bring in any immediate money. The property has to go through the foreclosure process to recoup the funds, which takes additional time and money.
Also, the WPCA had applied to put Cottage Street on DEEP's 2011 priority list to run a sewer line. Krzys explained that DEEP would provide a 25 percent grant and a 75 percent loan. The WPCA didn't have the money to kick start that loan, and so that sewer line extension never took place. They have applied to put the street on the 2013 priority list, but the economic situation remains largely the same.
Line extensions would require many more discussions and would not be a short-term solution.
The board has also taken steps to require properties who are within a certain distance to hook up to the sewer line. As a result of a previous public meeting, they created a criteria for people to justify not hooking up, which has allowed some properties to opt out.
Through discussion at the Tuesday meeting, many board members suggested that the current split be adjusted to a sliding scale to relieve some pressure for the time being and reserve the right to continue to change the split as time passes and the economy changes.
"We have two issues here, a short term solution for this budget year and a long term solution," said selectman Alesia Kennerson.
Many board members expressed a desire to take any solutions regarding the debt to a town meeting for a vote. They made the point that public input could only help.
"We need a fair solution that survives for the life of the loan," said Jerram.
They created a subcommittee to discuss this further. The committee will be created within the next week or so. They will discuss and come back to the boards with recommendations. At press time, a deadline had not been decided upon yet.

Nancy I would get a Social Security Lawyer to get you by means of this red tape carbage. This is incorrect at every level.

Iron Man and Sub-Mariner is a one-shot comic book published by Marvel Comics in 1968. It is notable for being the first Marvel title to be intentionally published for only one issue, as it existed to use up two half-length stories left over after Marvel began its expansion and the characters were to be given their own solo titles.
Iron Man and Sub-Mariner does not feature a team-up of the title characters, nor a complete story for either. The Iron Man tale is continued from Tales of Suspense #99 (cover-dated March 1968) and continues in Iron Man #1 (May 1968). The Sub-Mariner story continues from Tales to Astonish #101 (March 1968), and continues in Sub-Mariner #1 (May 1968). The cover-logo trademark uses "and" while the copyrighted title noted in the postal indicia uses an ampersand.[1]
The stories were: an 11-page Iron Man tale, "The Torrent Without, The Tumult Within", credited to Stan Lee and Archie Goodwin as writers, with art by penciler Gene Colan and inker Johnny Craig, a former EC Comics mainstay; and an 11-page Sub-Mariner story, "Call Him Destiny, or Call Him Death", credited to Lee and Roy Thomas as writers, with art by Colan and inker Frank Giacoia. The latter tale retold the Sub-Mariner's origin and introduced the supervillain Destiny.[1]
At least one previous Marvel title had lasted only one issue, though unintentionally. Red Raven Comics #1 (Aug. 1940), from Marvel predecessor company Timely Comics, became The Human Torch with issue #2, dropping all features from the debut issue.[2][3] The Grand Comics Database notes of the first and only issue, "No blurbs at the end of the stories in this issue indicate that there will be a Red Raven Comics #2. Instead they all advertise either Marvel Mystery Comics or in one case Mystic Comics, suggesting that perhaps Red Raven Comics was cancelled even before it went to press."[4]
Iron Man & Sub-Mariner #1 has been reprinted in two Essential Marvel collections, Iron Man vol. 2 (2004, ISBN 0-7851-1487-4) and Sub-Mariner vol. 1 (2009, ISBN 0-7851-3075-6).
