Jay Rayner's Day at El Bulli
The Observer's restaurant critic, Jay Rayner, takes the occasion of the publication of A Day at elBulli to do just that, and dine at El Bulli for the first time.
My meal there was quite simply the best of my life—the most intriguing, the most entertaining, the most delicious—which is a staggering achievement for a place hyped beyond all bounds of sense or logic. I went nursing a fear that I would be disappointed. I left all those fears by a ragged Catalan beach.

Gamblin Artist's Oil Colors are crafted by hand with the well-being of artists, their work, and the environment in mind. They combine the best traditions of the past with the latest technical innovations, giving you the freedom to create without compromise.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
iron oxides
Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.
Caput Mortuum, Italian Earth, Natural Brown Iron Oxide, Sienna, Spanish Red, Vandyke Brown.
Pigment PY74 is one of the most commercially important pigments of the Hansa Yellow group, considered superior to many others in its class based on both tinting strength and lightfastness. Several PY74 grades with different particle sizes are available. Grades with finer particle size are more brilliant and transparent. Pigment PY74 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow, with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has high tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has better lightfastness that other yellow monoazo pigments, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
alpha copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blue PB15:1 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more reddish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

Anyway, I've had a nice day other than that. As per, it was bloody cold, so I decided to anticipate that by cracking out the really wintry polishes. (Next week is the last of the semester, so that's when the Christmas polishes appear).
This is China Glaze Frosty with Models Own Blizzard over the top. Frosty looks amazing with three coats but this is only two because they take a very long time to dry (it's my favourite as a base for CG Jolly Holly). Blizzard is a bunch of irregular square and hexagonal glitter in silver and silver holo. It's nice, but sparse, so if I use this again I'll pick a more opaque base and do several coats.

Zarkheba needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 118 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
I need a logo for a website specializing in logo design. I'll probably get local customers and then contract with designers to do the work. This logo design website would just be a value add to other services I'll be offering on other websites.
I'm kinda thinking a glassy look should be involved somehow, but it's not necessary...and of course, smoke, in some kind of easy-to-replicate form...but also not specifically required. Flames are not specifically ruled out, but I'm looking more toward just smoke.
In short, be creative, I'll know what I want when I see it.
Smokin' Logos
May have a need for future partner(s) or contractors for this website
- Streamlined/smooth edges
- 3-d
- glossy
- coolness - (and maybe with a slight "edginess"...ya know? ... kind of a barely contained energy...)(but not TOO far away from mainstream) Gee...I don't know..just go for it.
- should read: Smokin' Logos
- ... (uppercase "S" on "Smokin" --- uppercase "L" on "Logos" --- apostrophe after "n" --- no "g") (just like it's typed above)
- --------->>> added 7-25-08---->> here's some images I'm gonna link to, just to give everybody some idea of some of the visuals I think would be nice to capture for the "smokin" part.
- image 1
- image2
- image 3
- Get it? I'm starting to think the logo should be like glossy and streamlined and 3-d looking (like a funny-car, but not too closely resembling a car, maybe just the general "feel" of glossy streamlined car), and kinda give the appearance of motion...and the letters should kinda look like they're smoking...but not an intricate, hard to reproduce smoke, but a very defined graphical "representation" of smoke...does that make sense?
- i know i added this last part kinda late. sorry. it just took me a while to figure out what i wanted...and I'm still trying to figure it out! Thanks to everyone for all the submissions..it's going to be a hard decision.

Bypass Vista Activation--Indefinitely
According to Brian Livingston, the owner of the blog WindowsSecrets.com, Windows Vista activation can be postponed indefinitely with a simple registry hack. Livingston has apparently uncovered Windows flaws and bugs in the past, and has kept a close eye on Vista activation. According to Livingston, there's a registry key that determines whether Vista has been activated or if activation has been postponed, and by changing the value of the key, you can avoid having to activate Vista entirely.
This registry tweak builds on the functionality that researchers discovered several weeks ago: A user can enter a enter a command line code to extend Vista activation from 30 days to 120 days. Livingston's discovery is that the key is changed when it's time to register. While the command-line code can only be done once before it is no longer effective, the registry tweak allows the 120-day postpone command to be issued indefinitely, completely bypassing Vista activation. Granted, only activated versions of Vista qualify for benefits under Windows Genuine Advantage.
Livingston claims that Microsoft is "leaving the barn door open" with its holes in activation, and refutes the company's notion that activation helps avoid software piracy. He points out that if Microsoft were truly interested in avoiding piracy, the command-line tool to postpone Vista activation for 120 days wouldn't exist at all. Microsoft has not responded specifically to Livingston's claims, but on its Genuine Advantage blog has refuted the registry hack as ineffective and doesn't actually extend activation.

Scientists say they have found a way to beat the menopause by waking up dormant follicles, offering new hope to women who run out of eggs early in life.
The experimental technique has been tested on a group of infertile women who reached the menopause at around the age of 30.
Of the 13 treated women, one has given birth to a healthy baby boy while another is said to be pregnant.
Until now the only option available to women with this form of infertility has been to accept IVF treatment using donor eggs, which means raising a child with another biological mother.
The researchers now plan to see if the technique can help other categories of women, including those affected by cancer treatment, and who become infertile between the ages of 40 to 45.
Around 1% of women suffer from a condition called primary ovarian insufficiency which brings on the menopause at a very young age.
On average the women taking part in the study were 37 years old and had stopped menstruating 6.8 years earlier.
The "In-Vitro Activation" (IVA) technique involves removing the ovaries, cutting them into small one to two millimetre square cubes, and treating the fragments with special stimulating drugs for two days.
The fragments are then implanted within the Fallopian tubes and hormones administered to trigger egg development.
Lead scientist Dr Kazuhiro Kawamura, from St Marianna University School of Medicine in Kawasaki, Japan, said: "For patients with primary ovarian insufficiency, egg donation is the only option for bearing a baby.
"These patients are eager to find a way to become pregnant with their own eggs. I hope that IVA will be able to help patients with primary ovarian insufficiency throughout the world."
The research builds on work in the laboratory showing that women who suffer premature menopause still retain tiny, dormant, "primordial" follicles.
Arousing these immature follicles can result in women previously thought to have untreatable infertility producing viable eggs.
The scientists developed a two-step approach to the problem of waking up the sleeping primordial follicles.
First, the ovaries were removed an broken up - a technique that already forms the basis of some infertility treatments.
Fragmenting the ovaries is thought to disrupt a biological signalling pathway that normally stops too many follicles maturing at once, thereby conserving a woman's egg supply.
Next, the ovary fragments were exposed to chemicals that stimulate another signalling pathway called Akt. This has been shown to stir dominant follicles into growing and producing mature eggs.
A total of 27 Japanese women with primary ovarian insufficiency took part in the study and had both ovaries removed by keyhole surgery. Of these, 13 were found to have ovaries containing dormant follicles.
Follicle growth was observed in eight cases, the scientists reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Eventually five women developed mature eggs that were collected for in-vitro fertilisation. The eggs were fertilised with sperm from their partners to produce embryos that were frozen and then transferred to the womb.
One woman received an embryo but failed to become pregnant. Another was still pregnant, said the researchers, and a third who received two embryos had given birth to a healthy baby boy. The other two women were either preparing for embryo transfer or undergoing further rounds of egg collection.
Dr Kawamura himself performed a Caesarean section on the woman who gave birth.
"I could not sleep the night before the operation, but when I saw the healthy baby, my anxiety turned to delight," he said. "The couple and I hugged each other in tears."
Scientists at Stanford University in California, United States, worked with the Japanese team and led the laboratory development of the technique.
Dr Valerie Baker, director of the university's Program for Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, said: "Although there are too little data available about this experimental treatment to guarantee any kind of success rate, the approach does look quite promising for women who have run out of eggs.
"When I first saw the data, my eyes lit up. These women and their partners come to me in tears. To suddenly learn at a young age that your child-bearing potential is gone is very difficult.
"This technique could potentially help women who have lost their egg supply for any reason."
Women are born with around 80,000 primordial follicles in their ovaries, most of which remain dormant.
Only about 1,000 start to grow each month, and of these just one reaches maturity to produce an egg when a woman starts menstruating.
"It's not known exactly how the follicles are selected for development, or why these follicles stop developing in women with primary ovarian insufficiency," said co-author Professor Aaron Hsueh, from Stanford University. "But our treatment was able to awaken some of the remaining primordial follicles and cause them to release eggs."

Mystery deepens for missing Rocky Mountain treasure hunter
Eric Ashby, 31, went missing while searching for $2 million worth of treasure hidden by Forrest Fenn. Unless Fenn set up booby traps of some kind, he is legally in the clear.
A place to exchange information pertaining to Trona and surrounding areas.
In 1933, a number of scattered newspaper articles appeared across Southern California extolling the grandeur and beauty of some recently discovered massive limestone caves within the Mojave's Providence Mountains near the old Bonanza King Mine. Known today as Mitchell Caverns, these geological wonders were named after Jesse E. "Jack" Mitchell who had initially explored the caves in 1929 and would later market them into a popular recreational destination accessible from the National Trails Highway, better known as Route 66.

A landfill gas to energy station at Republic Services' Ox Mountain Landfill in Half Moon Bay began operation on July 1.
Owned and operated by a subsidiary of Ameresco, Inc., the plant will supply enough renewable energy to Alameda and Palo Alto to power more than 11,900 average-sized homes.
"It's an ideal green energy solution," said George Sakellaris, president, Ameresco, Inc. The Ox Mountain landfill has been in operation since 1976 and will continue accepting garbage for another 35 years.
Jeff Andrews, senior vice president West Region, Republic Services, Inc., said, "This is a larger plant in terms of renewable electricity production from landfill gas and also represents the current best available technology for emissions controls, making it an extremely clean renewable energy source."
The annual electricity generated by the project will prevent the release of 71,000 tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The electric output of the plant will be sold to existing customers and project partners – the cities of Palo Alto and Alameda.
City of Palo Alto Utilities is the only municipal utility in California that operates city-owned utility services for electric, fiber optic, natural gas, water, and wastewater. The city of Palo Alto has adopted goals of meeting 30 percent of its electric needs by 2012 using renewable resources. Palo Alto's share of the project is projected to supply about 4 percent of the city's electric needs.
The Alameda Municipal Power will receive about 11 percent of the electricity it needs from the project. It is one of three landfill-gas-to-energy resources presently powering Alameda. These will be joined later this year by the facility at Republic Services' Keller Canyon Landfill. By the close of 2009, 22 percent of Alameda's power will be generated by landfill gas-to-energy plants.
Alameda Municipal Power, the "greenest little utility in America," buys 85 percent of its power from renewable energy resources.

Photographed aeroplanes
In various points in Rockstar's Max Payne 3, photographs of aeroplanes can be found stuck to walls. These are believed to be screenshots of GTA V:
A passenger jet, like the Shamal.
- Nevada-gtav.jpg
A large propeller-driven plane.
Files in Max Payne 3
Since the release of Max Payne 3, the files contained in the game were highly investigated. Several of them were found having strong similarities with GTA IV's vehicle files. However, those new files contained in Max Payne 3 make several mentions regarding vehicles that were not known so far in the series, and the conclusion was soon made that these files were "leaked" from GTA V. While they are a significant source of info mainly regarding the vehicles, it is highly possible that they were taken from an early stage in the development of GTA V, thus making this a relatively poorly reliable source of information. In the second trailer, one of the planes Trevor flies has Cuban 800 written on the tail, suggesting this information may be accurate.

It seems crazy that I've gone all these years without making it to 101 Noodle Express, but man am I glad I made it. I hit the Alhambra shop, though there are several branches in the San Gabriel Valley and even a few mall locations.
The thing to get here is the beef roll (pictured above) and after having it this weekend, it is something I'm going to be craving. Marinated beef with a sweet cilantro sauce wrapped in a Chinese pancake. This is everything you want in a snack: savory, sweet, salty and greasy with the added flavor boost of cilantro. It's hard to explain how good this thing is.
There are other good dishes at 101. The dan dan noodles are slightly spicy and are especially good with a few scoops of 101's cilantro sauce that you'll find on the table. Lamb soup with cabbage is a funk-o-rama with big slices of liver and hand pulled noodles. The liver isn't great...it's cooked to dry consistency, but all of that flavor is in the broth and the noodles are nicely chewy. Dumplings are okay, but nothing special and the fried ones tasted a tad off, like they were fried in old oil.
But the thing here is the beef roll, and that's what I'll be going for in the future, possibly pretty regularly. Oh, and they have a pork roll too. Next time...

Looking ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, a friend expressed some trepidation. This year, several guests at a usually festive annual party would be newly unemployed. My friend shook his head. "It's going to be strange this year."
As the world economy stumbles on, wreaking chaos in countless lives, it strikes me that this experience is likely to be widely shared–and that the spirit of gratitude may well prove more elusive than in boom years past. Researchers would seem to agree.
"It is relatively easy to feel grateful when good things are happening and life is going the way we want it to," observes University of California-Davis Professor Robert A. Emmons, whose book Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier devotes an entire chapter to gratitude in trying times. "A much greater challenge is to be grateful when things are not going so well, and are not going the way we think they should."
Speaking from personal experience, a prolonged job hunt can be a serious hit to the gratitude balance sheet, however much you try to focus on the positive. In part, that's because evolution designed us to remember danger more than pleasure. (That's how our ancestors kept from getting eaten.) Research psychologists call this our "negativity bias."
Moreover, gratitude may always come harder to some of us than others, due to our (genetically determined) temperaments. When I took the Newcastle Personality Assessor, I somehow wasn't shocked to find that I scored high on the personality dimension associated with high sensitivity to negative stimuli—a trait of some use in the evolutionary sweepstakes but less well adapted to my current purposes as a latté-drinking inhabitant of a New England college town. "What your ancestors needed to survive is not what you need to have a pleasant life," researcher Daniel Nettle helpfully explains in his book Personality: What Makes You the Way You Are.
Now it probably won't come as a huge surprise that gratitude correlates with happiness. Grateful people cope better with stress, recover more quickly from illness, have more satisfying relationships, are more optimistic, and all in all, are happier with their lives than their less grateful peers. They are also: less anxious, less envious, less materialistic, and less lonely. In sum, "happiness is facilitated when we . . . 'want what we have,'" Emmons concludes.
All well in good if you feel grateful, but what if you just . . . don't? What if you really don't want what you have, thanks all the same? And what if you have some pretty good reasons for wanting life to be different?
Happily, research suggests that gratitude can be cultivated—even by those of us for whom it doesn't come naturally. (Emmons actually puts himself in this category, noting that he spends far more time thinking about gratitude research than practicing the quality he studies.)
The most common mistake? Assuming that gratitude should spring up effortlessly. Not so, says Emmons. For most of us, developing gratitude requires ongoing discipline. We have to learn to act first, regardless of how we feel. "While gratitude is pleasant, it is not easy," Emmons writes. "We have to work at it. It must be consciously cultivated."
For those who want to test his theories, Emmons offers ten suggested practices for cultivating gratitude. They include keeping a daily gratitude journal, remembering the hardest times in your life and how far you've come (maybe not so helpful if those times are now), and making a point of expressing gratitude.
While the idea of "counting your blessings" is an ancient one, it was Emmons and his colleagues who gave the idea its scholarly bona fides. In one 10-week study, participants were randomly assigned to one of three weekly reporting groups. One group was asked to report back on five things they were grateful for, the second to describe five hassles, and the third simply to report five things that affected them.
The result: At the end of the study, the gratitude group was not only a full 25% happier than other participants but also reported fewer health concerns and spent more time exercising. (Later research showed that daily practice was even more effective.)
Sounds good, but will it work for you?
Here's one way to find out. Go to the University of Pennsylvania's Authentic Happiness website and complete both the General Happiness and Satisfaction with Life tests. Then, every night for the next two weeks spend five minutes listing up to five things from the past 24 hours for which you feel grateful. At the end of the two weeks, take the tests again. If you're happier than before: Continue. (This experiment is suggested by Penn Professor Martin Seligman—often referred to as the grandfather of positive psychology—for those who score in the lower half of either the Life Satisfaction test or Emmons' gratitude survey, which is also available on the website.)
While I've kept gratitude journals before, I've never stuck with them for all that long, but thanks to my recent reading, I'm giving it another shot. In fact, I'll start now: First of all, I'm really grateful to you—to everyone who's read and commented on this blog in the past ten days. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a project as much, and I couldn't (wouldn't) do it if it no one were reading it. So: thank you, thank, you! And have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
P.S. For anyone inclined to join me in keeping a gratitude journal, here's a helpful list of tips I came across while procrastinating researching this post.

NetWellness receives many questions about .
Safer sex is a term that means to reduce your risk of exposure to a sexually transmitted infection. You can do this by limiting the number of partners you come into contact with. However, the term "safe sex" is a bit of a misnomer. There is always the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection because you can't guarantee the fidelity of your partner. The risks of a sexually transmitted infection range from the mild: itching, burning or discharge to the more severe: infertility, chronic pain or death.
What You Can Do
- Know the sexual history of your partner.
- Be frank and ask if he/she has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection in the past.
- Ask if they engage in high risk sexually behaviors including: multiple partners, failure to use a barrier method, etc.
- Always use barrier methods to prevent the transmission of a sexually transmitted infections and diseases.
Birth Control
There are many different options now available to protect against unplanned pregnancy. Each method of protection has its own pros and cons which are listed below. Talk to your healthcare provider about your options and what is best for you.
- Combination Hormonal Methods
- Progersterone Only Pills
- Male Condom
- Female Condom
- Depo-Provera®
- Diaphragm or Cervical Cap
- Emergency Contraception
- Fertility Awareness
- IUD (Intrauterine Device)
- Spermicide
- Sterilization
- Outercourse
Combination Hormonal Methods are those methods that contains hormones that prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. It can be taken as a daily pill, weekly skin patch or monthly vaginal ring.
Pros: 97 to 99% effective (typical versus perfect use) at preventing pregnancy. Regulates menstrual cycle and decreases likelihood of cramps. Provides protection against ovarian and endometrial cancers, pelvic inflammatory disease, non-cancerous growths of the breast, ovarian cysts, acne and may protect against osteoporosis (thinning of the bones).
Cons: Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. The pill requires daily use and must be taken as close to the same time as possible. The patch is not discrete as it can be seen. The vaginal ring is not generally felt by the patient and rarely by her partner. Women who use this method may be at a slightly higher risk for heart attack, stroke and blood clots.
Progesterone Only Pills are similar to the combination pills except that they only contain progesterone. It can prevent ovulation, but primarily works by thickening the cervical mucous and preventing sperm from asending into the upper reproductive tract.
Pros: 97% to 99% effective (typical versus perfect use.) Acceptible to women who can't take an estrogen because of other medical conditions. Prevents uterine cancer. No increased risk of blood clots, strokes or heartattack.
Cons: Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Must be taken at the same time every day. Greater chance of irregular bleeding or no bleeding.
Male Condom is a sheath made of latex, polyurethane or rubber that covers the penis before intercourse to prevent sperm from entering the female reproductive tract.
Pros: 88 – 98% effective (typical versus perfect use) at preventing pregnancy when used correctly with every act of vaginal intercourse. Provides protection against most sexually transmitted infections. Condoms are easy to buy and are relatively inexpensive.
Cons: Some people are allergic to latex and/or spermicide contained in many condoms. Some partners make dislike using condoms. Condoms can break. It requires motivation since it can only be applied immediately before the act of intercourse when many couples lack the motivation to interrupt foreplay to place a condom.
Female Condom is a latex or polyurethane pouch inserted into a woman's vagina before vaginal intercourse that prevents sperm from entering the female upper reproductive tract.
Pros: 82-94% effective (typical versus perfect use) at preventing pregnancy. Provides protection against sexually transmitted infections. May be used by women whose partners may be unwilling to use male condoms. May be used by those with allergies to latex. Easy to buy and relatively inexpensive
Cons: May be difficult to insert correctly. May slip inside vagina during intercourse. The polyurethane may make noise during intercourse.
Depo-Provera® is an injection (shot) of the hormone progestin given to a woman every 12 weeks. This hormone prevents the release of an egg, and thickens cervical mucus preventing the entry of sperm into the uterus.
Pros: 99.7% effective (typical and perfect use) at preventing pregnancy. No daily medication or hormone to take. Protects against pregnancy for 12 weeks. Can be used by some women who cannot take estrogen containing birth control methods. Protects against cancer of the lining of the uterus and iron deficiency anemia. Many women have changes in their monthly periods, which can include missing periods.
Cons: Not effective at preventing against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Side effects may include weight gain and irregular bleeding. Return to fertility may be delayed as long as twelve months after last shot.
Diaphragm or Cervical Cap is a shallow latex cup (diaphragm) or a thimble-shaped latex cap (cervical cap). This cap is placed over the cervix to prevent sperm from entering the upper reproductive tract. These methods are used along with spermicidal cream or jelly. These methods must be left in place for 4 hours after intercourse.
Pros: Diaphragms and cervical caps are 82-94% effective (typical versus perfect use) against pregnancy when used correctly with every act of vaginal intercourse. Because both diaphragm and cervical cap can last for many years, they are very inexpensive .Women who cannot use hormonal methods of birth control can usually use one of these methods.
Cons: Does not protect well against sexually transmitted infections and diseases although it does decrease the incidence. Should not be used by women who have latex allergies as there may be some irritation. The diaphragm can increase the risk of urinary tract infections, and may only be left in place for 24 hours. They can't be place more than 6 hours prior to the act of intercourse.
Emergency Contraception (or EC) is medication taken by a woman up to 72 hours after unprotected vaginal intercourse. The mechanism of action by which EC works may include altering the function of the fallopian tube, hormonal levels or preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. It can be effective up to 5 days after unprotected sex and should therefore should not be refused to women greater than 72 hours but less than 5 days.
Pros: EC is –93-98% effective at preventing pregnancy. The sooner a woman starts EC, the more effective it may be. Taking EC will not effect a current pregnancy.
Cons: EC does not provide any protection against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Nausea, vomiting, and cramping are common side effects of EC, although women who use Plan Bâ experience these side effects less frequently. Dosage involves taking a single pill as soon as possible after unprotected vaginal intercourse, and taking a second pill 12 hours later, making timing important. EC is not effective at stopping a pregnancy that has already implanted in the uterus.
Fertility Awareness (also known as periodic abstinence) involves monitoring a woman's physical signs to predict times of fertility and avoiding intercourse or using another method of birth control during "unsafe" times. Predicting fertility includes checking body temperature daily with a basal thermometer daily checking of cervical mucus or timing of the calendar.
Pros: 80-99% effective (typical versus perfect use) at preventing pregnancy. Low cost. Avoids use of medication or hormones.
Cons: Provides no protection against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Requires months of practice before effective use. May lead to risk-taking during "unsafe' times. Many things such as illness may affect body temperature, leading to inaccurate planning. Women who have irregular periods may not be able to use this method effectively.
IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a small plastic device placed in the uterus. The IUD contains copper or hormones that keep sperm from joining an egg either by creating an intrauterine environment that is hostile to sperm (copper) or by thickening the cervical mucous and preventing sperm from entering the uterus. It can also prevent inplantation of a fertilized egg, but this is rarely the mechanism for its action.
Pros: 97.4-99.2% effective. IUDs may be kept in place for 1-10 years depending on the type of IUD. No daily pills to take. Some IUDs may help reduce menstrual cramps and the amount of menstrual bleeding. Immediately reversible.
Cons: IUDs are not effective protection against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Some women experience an increase in cramps, spotting between periods or heavier and longer periods (primarily with copper). Pregnancies, which rarely occur, are more likely to be ectopic (in fallopian tubes).
Spermicide is a cream, film, jelly, foam or suppository that is inserted into a woman's vagina before having vaginal intercourse. Spermicide contains medications that immobilize and kill sperm, preventing them from joining an egg.
Pros: 79-93% effective (typical versus perfect use) at preventing pregnancy. Easy to buy in supermarkets, drugstores, etc. May provide some protection against sexually transmitted infections.
Cons: These products are not effective protection against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Spermicide can be messy. Some people are allergic to it. It may irritate vagina or penis – which may increase risk of infection. Requires interruption in foreplay for proper use. This lends to its higher failure rate for less motivated users.
Sterilization occurs when a man or woman have an operation to prevent the sperm from joining an egg. This includes:
- Tubal sterilization – intended to permanently block the woman's fallopian tubes
- Vasectomy – intended to permanently block the man's tubes that carry sperm
Pros: 99.5 – 99.9% effective at preventing pregnancy. Permanent method of birth control without any lasting side effects for women or men.
Cons: Not effective at protecting against sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Reversibility cannot be guaranteed. Rarely, tubes reopen, allowing pregnancy to occur, and these pregnancies are more likely to be ectopic (occur in the fallopian tube). Typical risks from having surgery.
Outercourse is any form of sexual pleasure or stimulation between partners that does not include insertion of the penis into the vagina, anus, or mouth. Activities may include masturbation, erotic massage, rubbing together of body parts, and erotic fantasy.
Pros: Nearly 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. Can be effective at preventing sexually transmitted infections if no bodily fluids are exchanged. Avoids the use of medications or hormones. No financial cost.
Cons: People often forget to protect themselves against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections and diseases if intercourse takes place. It may be difficult for many people to abstain from vaginal intercourse for long periods of time.

Tecra/Protege stops booting at Xvesa and Xorg (SOLVED)
Subject description: An old problem that has workarounds, but not "solved" until now. Get fix on page 3 of this thread.
In using Puppy on a cast-off Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop, I ran into the problem mentioned in the Beginners forum at
, where booting hangs after selecting Xorg and letting it probe. I found several workarounds that simply replace the xorg.conf file with one that works. But that is too user-unfriendly for Puppy (IMHO).
I have created a modified version of the 3.01 (/usr/sbin) xorgwizard that prevents the hang by avoiding the invocation of the "Xvesa -listmodes" command, which is what hangs (but could be broken out of by ctrl-c). It checks ddcprobe.txt for the problematic NeoMagic MagicGraph video adapter name and supplies the needed list. In addition, it augments the ddcprobe listing to include "timing:" info for 1024x768 and 800x600 resolutions that are missing (but are appropriate).
The adapter is labeled "'oem: MagicGraph 256 AV 44K PRELIMINARY'" in ddcprobe.txt. Fortunately, I have an old ThinkPad that uses a similar adapter (but not "preliminary"), so I used part of the "listmodes" output from it. (It shows no "timing:" lines, but that is another issue.) Here is the added logic (starting with line 477), that puts the Xvesa call into an "else" clause:
if [ -f /usr/X11R7/bin/Xvesa ];then #format of each line: 1024x768x16
#For some Tecra (8000) and Portege laptops, avoid Xvesa hang by substituting an Xmodes list known to work; also enable 800x600 and 1024x768 by adding "timing: .. (VESA)" lines for them in the ddcprobe listing. #rerwin
if grep -q 'oem: MagicGraph 256 AV 44K PRELIMINARY' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt;then
echo -e "640x480x16\n640x480x24\n800x600x16\n800x600x24\n1024x768x16\n1024x768x24" > /tmp/Xmodes.txt
echo -e "timing: 800x600@85 Hz (VESA)\ntiming: 800x600@60 Hz (VESA)" >> /tmp/ddcprobe.txt #Append 800x600 resolution
grep -q 'timing: 1024' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt && echo -e "timing: 1024x768@85 Hz (VESA)\ntiming: 1024x768@60 Hz (VESA)" >> /tmp/ddcprobe.txt #Append 1024x768 resolution
else #End of special treatment of Tecra 8000s. #rerwin
Xvesa -listmodes 2>&1 | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | grep --extended-regexp 'x16$|x24$' | sort --field-separator=x --numeric-sort > /tmp/Xmodes.txt
fi #rerwin
I am attaching the entire script for anyone wanting to try it. The technique might be useful for xorg hangs with other video adapters.
It does bother me to code for specific hardware in a general script, but I do not yet have the skills to "do it right". By that I mean that the text lines should be defined in a data file(s) that is read by the script, so that other special cases might be added (such as my ThinkPad that reports no timings at all). My concept is of a "ddcprobe-fixes" file and a "Xvesa-fixes" file, each containing lines with two quoted fields consisting of the identifying string and the appropriate additions to ddcprobe.txt or Xmodes.txt. The files could be accessed by the same internal function (applyfixesfunc?) with parameters.
This does not address the hanging if the Xvesa option is chosen instead of Xorg, but it is a start.
EDIT: I also modified line 750 (previously 743) to sort the "finalchoices" lines into ascending numerical resolution order:
FINALCHOICES="`cat /tmp/finalchoices.txt | sort --field-separator=x --numeric-sort`" #rerwin
EDIT (10/25/07): I have updated the attachment and the new-code section above, to add detection of 800x600 resolution versus 1024x768 and simplify a bit.
EDIT: (11/17/07): Please use the latest version of the fix, which is on page 3 here:
EDIT (11/19/07): Removed download of first version.

Post subject: Improving the fix
Subject description: Needs way to determine max resolution.
Thanks, both, for your good feedback. I think I should try to address the different resolutions. It may be possible, but I need your help, cherriepuppy.
If you would enter "ddcprobe" in a terminal on your portege and tell me what the output lines beginning with "timing:" are, we may see the way to a solution. Mine shows lines for 720x400, 640x480, and 1024x768. I am hoping that yours will not show the 1024x768 line and may have an 800x600 line instead.
I am pleased that my work has prompted you, zigbert, to give your tecra a try. I hope more people will use my fix and will tell me of any problems. I would especially like to know if the troublesome adapter is used with resolutions other than 800x600 and 1024x768.

Post subject: Upload changed to support both 800X600 & 1024x768
Subject description: Download from original posting.
Thanks, cherriepuppy; you provided just what I was looking for. Your Portege does not yield the "timing: 1024x768. . ." line that my Tecra does.
So I changed my logic to look for the "1024" line before appending new "1024" lines. They are needed because the wizard filters out the line that ddcpeobe produces. The original download posting should now have the new version.
Thanks for your help in perfecting this fix. Now, if I could only figure out how to fix this for the XVESA option; I am not optimistic.

As a matter of interest this did not work with a Toshiba TE 2000, it still hung at the hardware probe after selecting Xorg.I remastered the 3.0.1 cd with the rehashed xorgwizard ( this was the only way I could figure to do it?)and tried it on the laptop with the same result as before i.e. after selecting Xorg the pink hardware probe line flashes on the screen then a second or two later comes on and that is the end of the deal. I loaded the modified cd on my computer and it behaved normally other than having to be prompted with xorgwizard-tecra as I did not change the name before I burned the cd. Also the screen that shows with the resolution included the lower resolutions not shown on my computer normally.
I dont know if this info is of any use to you or if there is any way to modify what you have done so it works on the TE2000. I only know enough about this stuff to know how much I dont know.!!!

Post subject: Adapting the fix for a TE 2000
Subject description: Might use similar technique
Thanks for your post, dalderton. Your info is very useful to me and may lead to expanding my fix to support more laptops, since the symptom appears to be the same as I saw.
But first, be sure you are doing all that is necessary. When you boot from your remastered CD and it hangs at the pink "probing" line, press ctrl-c and see the command prompt. At that point enter "xorgwizard-tecra" and see if that works. If so, that just means that you needed to rename the -tecra version to xorgwizard in /usr/sbin, renaming the old one first or replacing it.
If neither works, then maybe we are dealing with a different problematic adapter. The starting point is to look at the output of the ddcprobe command, which identifies the built-in video adapter and some of the resolutions it supports. (See cherriepuppy's above, for what I am looking for.) You can see this if you boot with your CD, press ctrl-c at the pink-probing hang, then at the prompt simply enter "ddcprobe" (w/o quotes).
I need you to tell me the contents of the lines starting with "oem:" and "timing:". Meanwhile, I will research that model online so I know what we should shoot for.
EDIT: I see that the TE2000 has a Trident XP4 graphics processor, which is different than that in the 8000. That explains why the fix doesn't work for you. So let's try adding a fix for it. After you get the ddcprobe info above, try something that should result in the hang again; at the command prompt enter "Xvesa -listmodes", noting the upper-case X. If that hangs, press ctrl-c to break out of it. That would confirm that we are dealing with the same problem. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for that.I will do as you say later this evening and post a reply as soon as I can.If this was a mechanical thing I would say that the point that the hardware probe line comes is the stopper or a metaphorical spanner in the works .Will reply soon. Thanks again Regards Dennis
Incidentally I did play with the file name and entered it as -tecra and changed it to xorgwizard and it made no difference. Dennis

Post subject: Test version
Subject description: Edit the script to find your video adapter.
Thanks for the ddcprobe results. They give me enough to update the script to work for your laptop. But maybe we should try another test first.
If you can somehow edit the xorgwizard-tecra file, change the text that identifies the adapter we are looking for. At worst, you could use the e3 editor after ctrl-c-ing out of the hang (or by booting with pfix=nox).
The line to change is #479 (in geany), which is:
if grep -q 'oem: MagicGraph 256 AV 44K PRELIMINARY' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt;then
Remove the " MagicGraph...PRELIMINARY" part, leaving:
if grep -q 'oem:' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt;then
Beware that it will then "do its thing" for any display; so use it only on the problematic laptop. I am eager to hear how it works.

I did another live CD remaster with the mods to your /usr/sbin/xorgwizard file and tried it and when it got to the contentious part it did not go to the xorgwizard gui and put up the usual lines when x does not start concluding with type xorgwizard This resulted in -sh: /usr/sbin/xorgwizard: permission denied. I then tried alt f2, login as root password: woofwoof and xorgwizard and got the permission denied line again. I hope this all means something to you and apologize for useing what is probably your valuable time.I am retired so it does not matter to me.If I need to alter permissions spell it out for me,it is something that I have never got on top of.(one of the many reasons I like Puppy is that it is not normally involved)I put it down to declining number of brain cell in my declining years Regards Dennis
EDIT I just tried the disc in my normal computer and it did exactly the same as described above.hope this helps. Dennis

Post subject: Fix the permissions
I think I ran into that, too. Simple to solve.
Boot your CD and at the prompt you mentioned, enter the command:
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/xorgwizard
That sets "execute" permission, which is what you want to do (execute the script). Then enter "xorgwizard" (assuming that is the renamed oem:-modified version of xorgwizard-tecra-trident).

Richard Bingo!!!! IT works and I have installed it on the hard disk.It loads OK but does not go to the xorgwizard the first time it boots and I went through the chmod and the xorgwizard did its stuff then xwin and whoopee. Second time I booted it,it was seamless and all is now well.I have not booted windows yet but i dont care.It will be interesting to see if Puppy recognizes the internal modem.I will post again when I work that out. Thank you very much for you efforts and patience,it is much appreciated. Regards Dennis Alderton (Mandurama,Central West .NSW,Australia

Post subject: Open-ended version of the fix
Subject description: Allows addition of adapters for this special treatment.
That's good news, Dennis. In anticipation of your success, I updated my script mods to use a file containing the identification of video adapters that hang up Xvesa. I am attaching it.
When you find the time, could you verify that it works on your laptop? The included readme.txt file tells where the name file goes. I will be away for a week (but checking the forum occasionally), so take your time. Thanks, again, for your help in making this ready to submit to Barry.
EDIT: (11/17/07): Please use the latest version of the fix, which is on page 3 here:

Further readings for the Nikon D5100
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Following the recommendations for Nikon D7100, we've had the opportunity to assess another of the firm's 24-Mpix DX format cameras – the mid-range D5200 - with over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Released in April 2013, the Ricoh GR goes by the tagline of "Everything is big, except the size". It points clearly to the raison d'être of this camera – to be a compact model with a large sensor with the aim of offering DSLR-like performance without the size and weight associated with them. As with several models in this niche, it seems to hark back to days gone by with a retro style. While this impacts the versatility of the camera, it's much easier to make a high quality prime lens that can extract the most from the large, 16megapixel APS-C sensor tucked away inside. Within this sector we've seen some very good cameras through the labs in recent months, so the GR has got stiff competition.
Launched in March 2013 the $1097 Coolpix A is Nikon's first compact camera with an APC-S sensor and features the same 16.2-megapixel DX sensor from Nikon's D7000 DSLR but with its optical low-pass filter removed. Utilizing a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 prime lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms) the Nikon Coolpix A has the right ingredients for great image quality so let's see how it performs.
Launched in January 2012 the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G prime lens offers a great focal length for portraiture and a wide maximum aperture for low-light photography. Compatible with both Nikon FX and DX lens mounts this latest version of Nikon's popular short telephoto prime also features a built in autofocus motor making it full functionality on all Nikon DSLR cameras. At $500 it boasts a great price too, so if you're after a 85mm portrait lens this could be the one for you.
After the introduction of the entry-level 24Mpix D3200 early last year it seemed inevitable that the rest of the firm's APS-C (DX) range would be refreshed with the same sensor. While the gestation of the new 24Mpix D5200 has taken longer than most people could of reasonably predicted, the sensor is, in fact, a new design and the first from a different vendor for Nikon. We've recently put the new camera through our labs, read on to see how the new sensor performs.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Announced in September 2012, the Sony NEX-6 creates a new range in the Sony line-up. It sits between the flagship Sony NEX-7 and the mid-range Sony NEX-5R offering features and performance benefits to beginner and advanced photographers alike. Providing a simplified user-interface than the NEX-7, the NEX-6 is none-the-less fully featured with a high-resolution OLED viewfinder, Full HD video recording and a tilt-adjustable screen for ease of use.
Announced at IFA 2012, Sony's NEX-5R is the third version of its very popular NEX-5 camera. This new model features a 16-megapixel APS-C EXMOR sensor composed of photosites that provide autofocusing by phase detection. Has Sony improved the image quality of its latest mid-range compact hybrid? Our tests reveal the answer.
The Nikon D5200 refurbishes the D5100 and moves upmarket by adopting a 24Mpix APS-C sensor and some of the elements that have been the joy of photographers equipped with a D7000: a 39-point autofocus and an exposure meter that incorporates a 2016 pixels RGB sensor and scene recognition.
Committed to retaining its sales lead in numerous countries, Canon views its new EOS 650D as a strategically important product. What improvements can we see with respect to its sensor, which Canon claims is new? How does this latest camera in the EOS line compare with its predecessor, the EOS 600D, and with its rivals, the Nikon D3200 and the Sony SLT-A65? The answers lie in our sensor test results for the 650D.

Thes molten chocolate cakes (also called chocolate lava cakes) from Jean-Georges Vongerichten are made with flour, sugar, chocolate, egg, and butter. When baked, the cake doesn't cook through, creating a lava flow of chocolate when cut into. If that weren't enough, the batter can be made ahead of time.
This ambrosial mini cake is absolute chocolate in two forms: a warm, molten center surrounded by a tender, protective shell. Despite its intensity, however, it has nothing of the heaviness of Mississippi Mud Pie or the ubiquitous flourless chocolate cake. Perhaps that's why it's one of the most copied desserts in American restaurants. Originally published July 23, 1998.–Jean-Georges Vongerichten
LC Molten Cake Trivia Note
A little molten chocolate cake trivia for you. As the story goes, these cakes were reputedly created when Vongerichten was creating a new dessert recipe and pulled these chocolate cakes out of the oven too soon. When he cut into one, he found that instead of the dense crumb he expected, a center of molten chocolate oozed out. Vongerichten knew a good thing when he saw—and tasted—it. And so do you. Behold, your new signature dessert.
Video: How to Make Molten Chocolate CakesVideo courtesy of New York Times
Molten Chocolate Cake
- Quick Glance
- Makes 4 cakes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 oz), plus more to butter the molds
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably Valrhona
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting
- 1. In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, heat the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate is almost completely melted. While that's heating, beat together the eggs, yolks, and sugar with a whisk or electric beater until light and thick.
- 2. Beat together the melted chocolate and butter; it should be quite warm. Pour in the egg mixture, then quickly beat in the flour, just until combined.
- 3. Generously butter and lightly flour four 4-ounce molds, custard cups, or ramekins. Tap out the excess flour, then butter and flour them again. Divide the batter among the molds. (At this point you can refrigerate the desserts until you are ready to eat for up to several hours. Bring them back to room temperature before baking.)
- 4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the molds on a tray for 6 to 7 minutes; the center will still be quite soft, but the sides will be set.
- 5. Invert each mold onto a plate and let sit for about 10 seconds. Unmold by lifting up one corner of the mold; the cake will fall out onto the plate. Serve immediately.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Words: Laura Austin
Can you say Shaun White show? Apparently Shaun White is the 2nd most marketable athlete in the world, and ESPN obviously realizes that. Want to know how Shaun can go so high in the pipe? ESPN breaks it down with one of their sports scientists. Want to know why Shaun White is even at the X Games? Well we won't bring that up… all I can say is cash for gold.
But when it comes down to it, Shaun deserved to win. Throwing down a run that some may only dream about, with smooth style that would make it seem like it was just another day in the pipe. But contrary to what other platforms may have put out there, Shaun wasn't the only one riding the halfpipe last night, a slew of other riders threw down. Kazu Kokubo in particular. According to one of the announcers, style doesn't matter in the X Games. But if it did, Kazu would have been in contention for that gold medal without a doubt. With the amount of amplitude and style Kazu had, he could have given Shaun a run for his money.
Scotty Lago and Louie Vito trailed the Red Tomato or The Animal… who keeps up with celebrity gossip these days? They each put down solid runs, but the amplitude, one of the most overused words in halfpipe competitions, so we'll say height…. was lacking. When it comes down to Scotty Lago's case, the wire, the Winter X Games 15 superpipe snowboard competition is one of the most watched events in this week of craziness. And for good reason, these athletes are putting their life on the line for you, they deserve respect. Some may have higher expectations and ask when the quad cork is going to come out. But I will be content and say that the amount of progression that has come out of the men's superpipe in the last year is mind boggling.
Winter X Games 15 Halfpipe Results
1. Shaun White
2. Scotty Lago
3. Louie Vito
4. Markus Malin
5. Kazuhiro Kokubo
6. Peetu Piiroinen
7. Matieu Crepel
8. Matt Ladley
