Norio on Wine and Food: Snap peas in dashi broth スナップ豌豆の塩びたし
This is a very healthy and refreshing small dish which goes well with sake or any drink. Recently, Dave Perry recommended two Izakaya cookbooks to me called "Otsumami Yokocho" おつまみ横町. There are two volumes. Both are called "drinking snack alley". The second is distinguished from the first by the additional phrase in the title of "Mou ikken" もう一軒 meaning "one more place". This is an appropriate name for the second volume because this phrase is a classic nagging request made by drinking enthusiasts (read; drunkards) who have finished their first rounds but don't want the bar hopping to end..."just one more place". In any case, I got these books from Amazon Japan (The shipping was more than the cost of the books). These two volumes each contain recipes for 185 small dishes which go well with drinks. Many of the dishes are rather simple (or easy to make) and some are not really new or original but the two volumes still contain a good number of dishes that I would like to try (and post) - thank you Dave, I can continue my blog a bit longer. This is the first such dish (page 12 of the second volume). Disclaimer: As usual, I often read these recipes but then I end up doing whatever feels right for me, so the end result may be different from what is described in the books.
Snap peas, Japanese name is "sunappu endou" スナップ豌豆, is the hybrid developed in the U.S. but very popular in Japan as well. We like it more than snow peas. This is a rather simple but elegant and healthy dish especially for an Izakaya snack and also taste good.
I removed both ends of the snap peas and blanched them in salted boiling water for several minutes, until cooked but still crunchy. I drained and put in ice water to stop cooking. I drained again and patted dry with a paper towel.
I made a broth from a dashi pack (kelp and bonito in a tea bag) and added salt to taste. I let the broth cool to room temperature and then refrigerated. I added the above blanched snap peas to the broth and let it marinate in the refreigerator overnight.
It has nice crunch. It has a sweet taste (enhanced by mild saltiness in the broth) with subtle dashi flavor. You feel good eating this, a totally guilt free drinking snack. You can have this instead of edamame 枝豆.
Glad to have helped in some small way!They really are nice little books aren't they. I've yet to try cooking from them, no surprise there...Look forward to seeing more from you!Cheers.D.
I will try to make some more soon. Thanks again.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase I love Wally Lamb and his books are often dark and challenging, but this was light enough to read over the festive season, yet still had enough challenge to be worth reading. I loved the "american graffiti" style epilogue too. The New England setting is fun and the Christmas play scenes are vividly rendered.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase Wally Lamb is one author whom I dont read reviews for before I buy, because he has never disappointed me in any of his work. This is charming , funny and touching without being sickly. Despite not being American, I was around in the era that the book was set, so I can relate to the attitudes portrayed in the story. A thoroughly enjoyable story from a wonderful writer.
Format:Paperback This is a very enjoyable read. Funny and charming and you'd get through it in an afternoon or two. Lacks the weight of some of Wally Lamb's other books, so not as moving. But, it made me laugh out loud on a long distance flight, causing the people around me to stare, but I didn't care.
Laugh out loud I love this author. Read, "I know this much is true" and "She's come undone". Quirky writer. Wishing and Hopin' . Very engaging story. Read more
My favourite author I would read anything by Wally Lamb and have read all of his books to date. He is so clever at characterisation and you very quickly want to know how his characters move on. Read more

Everyday Cosplay: Vanellope Von Schweetz (Wreck it Ralph) – Nerdy Ninja Platypus
Everyday Cosplay: Vanellope Von Schweetz (Wreck it Ralph)
I watched Wreck it Ralph for the first time the other day, and now it’s up there as one of my favourite animated movies. It was amazing! I can’t believe I left it so long to watch. One of the main characters, Vanellope, is just adorable and I absolutely loved her, as well as her little outfit. That’s why I’ve decided to create an Everyday Cosplay based on the clothes she wears in the film. Her outfit is a little out there, so I had to tone it down a bit, but the items I’ve picked follow her theme pretty well.
Here’s my Everyday version of her clothing;
Vanellope’s Everyday Cosplay is made up of a hoody, skirt, tights and boots, along with some accessories based around sweets. The black boots were the easiest thing to find. I picked a super shiny pair from Dr. Martens. They’re sturdy and robust, perfect for all of Vanellope’s shenanigans. The green tights are from Modcloth, and the green hoodie was from Billabong. The brown skirt was the hardest thing to find. I picked a pleated one from Farfetch.
I wanted a red bow for her hair and ended up picking this one from Forever 21. A red ribbon would also work well. Finally I wanted some sweet themed jewellery. I chose a penny sweet necklace from Misi, and some gummy bear hair clips, which are my favourite part of her outfit, from Etsy. There are loads of different colours available.

The Free Motion Quilting Project: Day 25 - Pebbles in a Stream
So far I've created two designs that made me think of pebbles in a stream: Tree Bark and Flowing Glass. I figured I should just stop beating around the design and quilt it already!
So this design really combines the long, slightly wavy lines of Tree Bark with the textured simplicity of Pebbling. The end result is a naturally flowing directional filler that looks great on it's own or can be combined with other organic shapes for a beautiful work of art.
Inspiration: When I was a little girl there was a stream by my house. My favorite thing to do was rearrange the rocks so that the water could flow better.
Although it wasn't nearly as picturesque as this photo, it was still fun, wet, and messy!
Difficulty Level: Intermediate. The slightly wavy lines are easy, but pebbling can be tricky because of the amount of traveling over your previous quilting it requires.
Because you don't have to fill up nearly the same amount of space, this filler is much faster and easier than regular Pebbling.
Directional Texture: 2 directions. Place this design either horizontally or vertically on your quilt for a beautiful, organic texture.
Suggestions for Use: Needing to fill in the water area of a landscape? Here's the perfect design for that. You could also think outside the box and apply this fill where it might not look like it belongs: surrounding victorian feathers for example.
Back of Pebble Stream
floribunda... aka JulieSeptember 7, 2009 at 1:21 PMLove it! Thanks for the videos.ReplyDeleteLauraSeptember 8, 2009 at 3:41 PMGreat idea - love it:)Laura TReplyDeletepolyquatsSeptember 29, 2010 at 7:04 AMHi Leah, Thanks for all the designs, I am planning to try lots of them. I have just used pebbles in a stream to all-over quilt a twin size quilt. I used a lot more stream and a lot less pebbles, and orientated the lines along the length of the quilt. This suited the celebratory theme of the quilt, more bubbles in champagne than pebbles in streams.Thera are photos of the quilt on my Flickr stream. the whole quilt http://www.flickr.com/photos/polyquats/5024882249/in/set-72157600416967485/ and details like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/polyquats/5024882449/in/set-72157600416967485/ReplyDeleteKaren HerriottAugust 19, 2015 at 10:52 AMLeah, I love these designs. I am going to use pebbles in a stream on a quilt that I am currently piecing. You are wonderful to share your ideas so freely!!ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

fotofanatic: Reflecting on Reflections
For some reason today I've had reflections on my mind. I turned to the Oxford English Dictionary and found this definition of reflective : "1. Providing or capable of providing, produced by reflection. 2. thoughtful". This seemed to neatly tie in with my thoughts about reflections and whether what we see when we look in a mirror is truly representative of what we believe we look like to other people. I took a lot of self portraits, hoping as it were to almost catch myself unaware, if that makes sense, but the images I captured didn't seem to look anything like the image I see in the mirror. More work to be done on Point No 2 of the definition above.
Reflections in nature, even with people in them, are much simpler and can be enjoyed for what they represent, something beautiful and tranquil.
Two photographers are better than one.
When I photographed this scene I was sitting in a green foliage cave, hidden away from passers by and it reminded me of my childhood, when my sisters and I enjoyed finding snug hollowed out spaces under shrubs in the garden, transporting rugs, pillows and books and emerging from time to time to cadge snacks from my mother.
I find it intriguing when an image captures the reflection of something that appears not to be there.
All my images in this post are about reflections in water and although this last one appears to be of sun glinting on glass, it is in fact the waters of Sydney Harbour reflecting off one of the glass surfaces of the Opera House.

- Court v. Health Care?
Politics, politicians, big business and the economy Court v. Health Care?
Scott Lemieux has a sensible take on the Supreme Court's likely response to legal challenges to health-care reform, and how much Bush v. Gore should or shouldn't play into our thinking on that. By Ezra Klein
| March 25, 2010; 8:46 AM ET
Save & Share: Previous: Vote-a-rama update
Next: 'Garbage, in one word' Comments Still, the very essence of that piece is to assume the conservative justices "know" that their activism can be destructive.
However, what Lemieux and others don't understand is that these kind of conservatives are saboteurs and their goal is to tear down and destroy progressive institutions at any cost.
Bush V Gore, long-standing local gun laws be-damned, and Citizen's united are just the beginning of their Nero-like scheme of "tearing down then rebuild". Posted by: Lomillialor | March 25, 2010 9:41 AM | Report abuse
Good comments at that site, and one comment offers a link to a piece regarding Wyden on states having the authority under this reform to make their own health care reform system so long as it meets . Interesting.
"there is also an individual mandate that would require Americans to purchase insurance coverage. But states that found the mandate objectionable could simply create and insert a new system in its place. All it would require is applying for a waiver from the Department of Health and Human Services, which has a 180-day window to confirm or deny such a waiver.
"That language has been inserted, almost verbatim, into the bill Obama signed into law on Tuesday. And if there is any confusion about how much leverage it gives states to drop the mandate, Wyden cleared it up months ago during a hearing at the Senate Finance Committee.
"So let us review how the waiver language works now, because my reading of what we have in the bill now is, if a state can demonstrate that they can meet the criteria -- particularly on cost containment, improving the delivery system -- they can do it without an individual mandate," the senator said at the time. "And can I ask counsel, is that a correct reading of the Waiver Amendment that I offered the chairman has accepted at this point?"
The counsel replied: "Yes." ---

I believe that we can all agree that the purpose of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to limit the power of the Federal government. The Founders believed that whenever the power of government expands, individual freedom receedes.
If Congress, using the Commerce Clause, can make anyone and everyone buy insurance then they can make anyone and everyone buy anything and everything. If the power of Congress is that unlimited, then the People are no longer free, the States no longer sovereign and the Constitution is just a piece of paper. Where is the authority for this in the Constitution. What about the Tenth Amendment to the Bill of Rights which clearly spells out the limits of Federal power. and where does the "consent of the governed" comes into play? Federal power is not that broad and even the Supreme Court has stated that there are limits to the Commerece Clause. As to the claim in Gonzeles vs Raich that even "non-economic activity" has an impact on the effective regulation of interstate commerce, I would say that doing "nothing" (i.e. not purchasing insurance is not activity at all. This is just another power grab by the Federal government. The time has come to end this gluttony of power, even if it means a Section V Constitutional Convention.

The true Legal war is not over HealthCare but religious freedoms. While communists send Christians to Jail, our forefathers believed that religious freedom was a fundamental right. For this reason native Americans are still allowed to hunt whales, fish for salmon, and even laughably use hallucinogenic peyote according to their cultural and religious beliefs. Therefore, do such freedoms also apply to the rest other Americans, or are we all doomed to Ridicule, JAIL, and a Revisionist History under the Obamacare? Well . . .in studying the Amish Scientists have concluded that this sect of people eat, sleep, and walk in the same way as other Americans. Based on this amazing research lawyers have become resigned to the fact that the Amish can CHOOSE a life outside of Big Government Healthcare. The Amish are allowed a RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION to Obamacare because they have an UNALIENABLE RIGHT to place their bodies under the jurisdiction, protection, and providence of God. Therefore, sign me up. Millions and Millions of Peaceful Tea Partiers are gathering around this simple truth, that We Are Not Marxist Thugs from Chicago. To summarize . . . Washington is ready to roll it's tanks into Tiananmen Square, but my money is on the Amish and the Tea Party. Posted by: givenallthings | March 26, 2010 7:59 AM | Report abuse

Best. Case. Ever. (No Spoilers - Promise): angearia

Best. Case. Ever. (No Spoilers - Promise)
I've officially fallen in love with Castle. I watched the first season mostly for the Fillion banter and enjoyed the show moderately (sometimes I got bored with the procedural aspect), but tonight's episode pushed me over the edge into fannish-land. I was literally squeeing at the banter and chemistry between Castle and Beckett throughout the episode. And I love how Beckett works so hard to pull one over on Castle. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
Seriously. Mad Men and Castle are where it's at for me right now.
Everything else just doesn't hit that level of entertainment for me. Dollhouse - well, I feel like I keep waiting for it to meet my expectations. I like the thinky thoughts I have when watching the show, but it's not fun. I'm not fascinated, not really. It feels too heavy sometimes, the writing doesn't fly. I'm not carried away with delight over the characterization, the humor, the storyline, the twists. It still feels clunky to me. I'm still waiting for it to click. For it to click the way Castle clicked tonight.
Also Bones has become tired, also, though last week's episode was fairly good. But seriously Castle > Bones.
Why? The writing is so sharp. The banter, baby. Oh, the banter! Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic have the most amazing chemistry on screen. It's joyful! I had so much fun watching tonight's episode that I actually have it playing in the background again as I type.
I can't remember the last time I've been this excited about a show. Was it just me? Anyone else feeling the Castle love?

1. A method of electric power generation using a total amount of heat energy, comprising the steps of:(a) heating and completely evaporating water to produce dry, saturated steam at a first high temperature and first high pressure with geothermal heat energy from a high temperature geothermal heat source, which geothermal heat energy is more than about seventy percent (70%) of all of said total heat energy used in said method of electric power generation, said high pressure sufficient for effective use in a large scale electric power turbine generator, said energy from said high temperature geothermal heat source is derived from injecting brine from a selected earth surface location into high temperature hot, dry rock for absorbing said heat energy therefrom and returning said brine to said earth surface location and passing it through a counterflow heat exchanger to completely evaporate said water to produce said dry saturated steam at said first high temperature and pressure; (b) then superheating said dry saturated steam to produce steam at a second high temperature and at said first high pressure using an amount of heat energy which is less than about 30% of said total amount of heat energy; and (c) then applying said superheated steam at said high pressure to drive a large scale electric power turbine generator. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein:(a) said first high temperature is about 350° C. (about 660° F.); and (b) said high pressure is about 1800 psi; and (c) said second high temperature is about 540° C. (about 1000° F.) so that said heat energy from said geothermal high temperature heat source provides more than about 70% of all heat energy used in said method of electric power generation. Description
In addition to its value as a major energy source for utilization temperatures at or below 350° C. (662° F.), geothermal energy derived from hot, dry-rock within the Earth's crust, can be used in a hybrid thermal cycle, with natural gas, ethanol, or other clean-burning fuel, for large scale production of electric power and energy, with a minimal emission to the atmosphere of products of combustion. In such a hybrid cycle, sensible and latent heat required to produce dry, saturated steam at a relatively high pressure, would be supplied from a geothermal source. The dry, saturated steam would then be superheated, to a desired temperature, by heat derived from combustion of a fossil fuel, natural gas, or a clean burning chemical fuel. For steam conditions of 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 1000° F. temperature, 78% of the required heat energy would be supplied from a geothermal source and 22% from a fossil fuel source.
Hot, dry-rock, geothermal energy can be extracted from the Earth's crust at practically any location in the World. However, geologic conditions, in the United States, are generally more favorable in the western half of the Nation, than in the eastern half. In the western half, a desired geothermal temperature generally can be reached at a lesser depth of penetration of the crust, and therefore at a lower cost. For optimum mid-continent conditions, having an average temperature gradient of 50° C. (122° F.) per kilometer of crust penetration, a temperature of 350° C. (662° F.) can be reached at a depth of 7 km (23,000 ft.). Such temperature is presently considered to be the maximum temperature that can be obtained at the existing level of well-drilling technology.
To obtain a steam temperature higher than 662° F., a hybrid cycle is considered necessary. In the preferred embodiment hybrid cycle, pressurized geothermal brine is brought to the Earth's surface and circulated in an array of counter-flow heat exchangers to produce dry, saturated steam at 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 662° F. temperature. A fossil-fueled superheated is then used to raise the temperature of the geothermally produced dry, saturated steam to 1000° F. Thus, high-quality turbine steam, at conditions of 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 1000° F. temperature, is made available for large-scale production of electric power and energy. For steam conditions of 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 1000° F. temperature, 78% of the required heat energy would be supplied from a geothermal source and 22% from a fossil fuel source.

Understanding the Dilemma Orchestras Face when trying to Balanced the Budget
By Chip Michael - October 20, 2014
There is more to orchestras balancing their books than just selling more tickets
It is hardly news anymore to hear of an orchestra struggling to balance their budget. Atlanta musicians are locked out for the 2nd time in two years over contract negotiations - the musicians have been asked to take yet another pay cut. The Philadelphia Orchestra declared bankruptcy a couple of years ago. Colorado Symphony has been operating with a deficit for years. These are not isolated examples.
When ever the news reports the demise of an orchestra, there are a half dozen articles that pop up to discussing what changes need to be made in order for orchestras to be profitable again:
- raise ticket prices to cover costs
- lower ticket prices to get more people into the concert hall
- program new music
- program old music
- attract a younger audience
- better leverage the existing audience (particularly the donor base)
The list goes on and on, yet the real problem is: based on the type of orchestra, the…

Why are people under 40 not in your concert hall?
By Chip Michael - May 22, 2014
Symphonies are becoming increasingly aware that the average age of their patrons and ticket buyers are aging, with no real increase in getting a younger generation of symphony goers to replace them. Why??? It comes down to how we communicate with this younger generation.
If your concert hall does not have people under the age of 35, it is because of the culture you have established. They do not feel comfortable in your hall and until they do, they have no desire to attend your concerts. This is, of course, a generalization, but overall, people under the age of 35 have a few things in common that we need to be aware of in order to effectively market to them.
There are roughly 79 million Millennials in the United States—25 percent of the population. The Millennials exceed the number of Baby Boomers (often their parents) by about 3 million. They have been through two recessions: one at the beginning of the millennium, another in the great recession caused by the mortgage crisis in 2009.…
The Need for Well Rounded Students
By Chip Michael - April 18, 2014
Lou Spisto is at it again, calling for well rounded students
Reblog from: Dallas Daily News
Louis Spisto Encourages Well-Rounded Education for Today’s Students
According to arts advocates like Louis Spisto, keeping arts education in schools is essential to the development of today’s students. Throughout his long career as a producer and arts executive, Spisto has led the development of community and education-based performing arts and theater programs designed to spread appreciation of the arts amongst youth.
Unfortunately, in the era of school budget cuts, arts education is almost always one of the primary targets. Schools nationwide are trimming arts programs, and students are no longer learning to appreciate music, visual and performing arts. This is worrying to Louis Spisto and many others in the art community.
“The argument for arts education is robust for so many reasons, regardless of how strict budgetary limitations become,” says Lou Spisto.
According to a report by Americans f…
Social Media’s Role in the Performing Arts with Arts Expert Lou Spisto
By Chip Michael - April 07, 2014
repost from: advisories.com
While great performers and performances will always be central to why people attend live arts events, experts like Lou Spisto (with nearly three decades of experience in the arts world) believe that social media is becoming an important player for audience engagement and possible growth in overall attendance. Social media’s influence seems to be everywhere and the 2014 Academy Awards may be the boldest example of this to date. Ellen DeGeneres, the host of the show and already a top figure on Twitter, broke new ground with the “impromptu” tweet of her “selfie” that included some of the world’s most well-known celebrities. It generated more than 3 million retweets. She easily surpassed the previous record holder, President Obama, who had under a million.
Although this may be an extreme example of the power of social media and a “live” event, does it auger well for the performing arts? Can social media make the opera, ballet symphony orchestra or theater event …

Massive Mid-Century Masterpieces Link Two Modern Composers: John Cage & Olivier Messiaen Shared Their Piano Cycles in Paris
Dedicated Proponents, Pianists Adam Tendler & Christopher Taylor Will Reveal the Intricacies of These Linked Works in a Pair of Linked Concerts at Jacaranda Music’s February 22nd Mid-Century Modern Program
Jacaranda's 10th anniversary season continues on Saturday, February 22, 2014 with a dinner break — a break that separates the performances of two 20-movement mid-twentieth-century masterworks by John Cage and Olivier Messiaen. Each cycle is played by an American pianist with whom the music has become synonymous: Adam Tendler and Christopher Taylor, respectively. The consecutive concerts (Tendler at 5:00 p.m. and Taylor at 7:30 p.m.) will take place at First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica, 1220 Second Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401.
Jacaranda’s first decade gave extensive attention to the centenaries of Messiaen (1908-92) and Cage (1912-89). As a nod to that legacy, artistic director Patrick Scott chose for the 10th anniversary two works for solo piano that link the comp…

Yo-Yo Ma Applauds Oscar Nomination of Morgan Neville’s Documentary 20 Feet from Stardom
By Chip Michael - January 17, 2014
Boston, MA – Jan. 16, 2013 – Delighted to hear of the Oscar nomination of Morgan Neville’s documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma said: “What I love most about 20 Feet from Stardom is how deeply Morgan Neville examined the preconditions of creativity. He showed us how the giants stand on the shoulders of the artists whose stories he told."
Morgan Neville is currently directing The Sound of Silk, a documentary about the musicians in the Silk Road Ensemble. Brought together by the Silk Road Project, which was founded in 1998 under the artistic direction of Ma, the Ensemble has featured members from more than 20 countries, performed in 119 cities in 30 countries, generated more than 80 new works, recorded 60 pieces of music, and just released its fifth CD, A Playlist Without Borders.

Yesterday, Bloody Monday the total added up to a total of 71,400 announced job cuts......That covered a wide range of Employees from Microsoft to Caterpillar to Home Depot...We need to see Infratstructure Plans in the new Stimulus Bill and see how the JOBS part is set up, we need a Recovery Plan that addresses these losses that are rolling in...there are people needing Real Work, Real Jobs...
Here is a heartwarming story of how resturante workers try to give back and help their boss and each other......
{{ This Story about 2 Med Techs fired from Kaiser Permente, in LA is beyond tragic.....and should not have happened. }}

More about the Lupoe Family Murder Suicide in California, This is the FIFTH incident in 10 monthes in California alone of such financial devastation leading to death.... ( the Lupoes were both XRay Techs at Kaiser Permaente, there should be some questions asked of this Hospital WHY both were laid off).
Labels: 210000 jobs lost for january
Yes, it is getting bad.. damn repugs just want to cry and whine. keep hollering tax cuts and good grief after the last 8 years we know they don't work.
I have read the 647 page plan the dems put out.. there is some stuff in there that is questionable but not that much.. for the huge majority it is a fairly good plan.

Here is a late after noon announcement...
ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Corning Inc. said today it is cutting 3,500 jobs, or 13 percent of its payroll, as demand slumps for glass used in flat-screen televisions and computers....
About Intel::
Amid speculation it may be close to reporting its first quarterly loss in 22 years, Santa Clara computer chip maker Intel today said it will lay off at least 5,000 employees worldwide and shut five of its manufacturing operations.
As part of a corporate-wide restructuring, the world biggest chip maker said it will cease plant operations in Santa Clara, Hillsboro, Oregon, Penang, Malaysia and Cavite, Philippines.
The closures "when combined with associated support functions, are expected to affect between 5,000 and 6,000 employees worldwide," the company said in a prepared statement.
Whoah! This is a really sobering trend. Some states were already buckling under the strain of trying to provide unemployment to record levels of people filing claims.
Makes me wonder if there will be a time that safety net is gone too?
Several states were already in distress a few months ago.
“I’m very concerned about the trust fund situation,” said Andrew Stettner, deputy director of the advocacy group. “This isn’t going to be a short and sweet (economic) downturn.”"
That was from an article in OCTOBER '08 and we've lost more than 200,000 additional jobs since then.

The job issue is concerning also related to health- in the later part of 2008 we lost 2.6 Million jobs total...that means that those families don't have insurance...
This is the beginning of a Depression: store food, strengthen community and good family/friend relationships/ grow gardens this Spring, get a generator, buy some silver or gold coins and figure out a barter hoard when paper dollars become worthless, store up basic medications and.....yes, be merciful on Republicans who have destroyed the country. not kidding.....peace Mandt

Comparison of Derivatization Methods for the Determination of Butyl- and Phenyl-tin Compounds in Mussels by Gas Chromatography

Two different derivatization methods, alkylation with Grignard reagents, and ethylation with sodium tetraethylborate, were compared for the determination of organotin compounds, viz. tributyltin, dibutyltin, monobutyltin, triphenyltin, diphenyltin and monophenyltin, in mussel samples. Temperature, reaction time and concentration of Grignard reagents were optimized in the former method; in the latter the effect of pH, concentration of sodium tetraethylborate and reaction time were studied. In the derivatization with Grignard reagents hexyl, pentyl, propyl, ethyl and methyl were used as alkyl Grignard groups. A critical evaluation of the different derivatization methods is presented. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
