BP finally seals leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well
A pressure test showed a cement plug put in place by BP to permanently "kill" the well was holding.
President Obama hailed the news, vowing to continue to help those affected.
The worst offshore oil spill in US history began after the Deepwater Horizon rig blew up on 20 April, killing 11 workers and later sinking.
'Important milestone'
The top US federal official overseeing the disaster, Coast Guard Adm Thad Allen, said on Sunday that the well was now "effectively dead".
"Additional regulatory steps will be undertaken but we can now state definitively that the Macondo Well poses no continuing threat to the Gulf of Mexico," Adm Allen said.
A temporary cap had sealed the flow on 15 July while a relief well was dug. That well finally linked up with the ruptured well on Thursday, allowing workers to start pumping in the cement, removing the need for the cap and creating the permanent "kill".
The disaster has brought an environmental nightmare to hundreds of miles of US coast. It led to BP chief executive Tony Hayward standing down and the imposition of a moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling.
In a statement, President Obama hailed Sunday's "important milestone" and thanked all those who had "worked around the clock to respond to this crisis and ultimately complete this challenging but critical step to ensure that the well has stopped leaking forever".
He said he remained "committed to doing everything possible to make sure the Gulf Coast recovers fully from this disaster".
He added: "This road will not be easy, but we will continue to work closely with the people of the Gulf to rebuild their livelihoods and restore the environment that supports them."
The cost of the disaster to BP has been massive. It has created a compensation fund of $20bn and paid out another $8bn so far in the clean-up campaign.
This final sealing will mean BP can leave the site and concentrate on dealing with the aftermath of the spill.
At the beginning of August, the US government announced that almost three-quarters of the oil had been cleaned up or broken down by natural forces.
The remaining quarter was thought to be "degrading quickly".
But more recent research noted an undersea plume of crude oil-based chemicals up to 200m high and 2km wide, extending 35km from the spill site.
Despite optimism about the clean-up, the damage to the local economy, wildlife and the ecosystem of the Gulf is hard to fully assess yet.

I made this kit for the Zombies Are Love Swap and I've been working on a second one for myself since After all Halloween is just around the corner and who knows when one might need a boomstick in a hurry?
I was initially inspired after seeing this Zombie survival kit on the internet, but I had some ideas on how to take it to another level. I really liked the transparent riot shields used in 28 Days Later and I figured, "Why not make the case multi-functional at the same time?" So when the plexi-glass cover is removed it becomes the perfect protection against zombie related carnage and splatter. Inside the case is arguable the best tool to have during a Zombie attack. None other than the trusty shotgun! Along with it are some spare
Marvel at it's awesome-ness
Here's another angle to show it off further
The riot shield on it's own
Ready for action!
The station once the cover is removed
This is where I start to think I'm a photographer
Another close up
A better view of the machete
Yet another close up
Okay this is the last one, it just looks too cool not to post it
Here's the sign
Study it carefully
There might be a test on it later
Well that's the whole thing. Pretty nice, huh
I bought the shotgun at a dollar store after visiting every single one in town I decided the best toy shotgun I saw was at the first store I went to. Go figure. It has been spray painted to make it look less like a toy and a little more like the real deal. I also found the machete there too. It's actually a cheapo "butcher" knife and I got it for a dollar. I would not recommend trying to cut anything with it, it's duller than a butter knife. The shotgun shells are real spent shells that I got from the local gun range. I folded them back together to make them look new again. I stenciled and spray painted the riot shield and build the handle out of dowel and PVC pipe and the strap out of velcro. To make the sign I had to fiddle with photoshop for a few hours and then I got it printed and laminated at Staples.
Remember only you can stop the Zombie outbreak!

British rocker Dave Mason was everywhere during the late '60s and '70s. He cofounded Traffic. He played acoustic guitar on the Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower." He is said to have played without credit on the Stones' Beggar's Banquet. He did get credit for his guitar work on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, and he toured with Delaney & Bonnie and played with Derek & the Dominoes. Years later, he was a member of Fleetwood Mac for a brief time, and he recorded a duet with Michael Jackson. Dave Mason wasn't the most prolific of songwriters, but the music he wrote resonated with generations of fans, beginning with a rambling jazzy song he wrote with Traffic called "Feelin' Alright?"
"It was about not feelin' too good myself," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer says by phone from his Santa Barbara home. "That's the way I look at it." We talk old times, new music, and today's lack of radio exposure for artists new or old. "The problem with classic-rock radio is that they don't play anything new by any classic artists. Don't ask me why. I don't get it."
Mason put out a new record a couple of years ago and is gearing up to sell downloads from his website, but he says the internet doesn't create the kind of exposure that an artist could expect from radio back in the day. "As far as making CDs and stuff, I'm pretty much done with that." These days, writing and recording is largely for his own amusement, which he says "is essentially how it all got started in the first place." Mason says there has been interest in him writing a book. Good call. Mason lived a rock star's life with the best of them. "The stories I could tell," he laughs, "and the stories I don't wanna tell."

Imaging systems in medicine; Surgical technology
Computer-aided minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has progressed significantly in the last decade and it has great potential in surgical planning and operations. To limit the damage to nearby healthy tissue, accurate modeling is required of the mechanical behavior of a target soft tissue subject to surgical manipulations. Therefore, the study of soft tissue deformations is important for computer-aided (MIS) in surgical planning and operation, or in developing surgical simulation tools or systems. The image acquisition facilities are also important for prediction accuracy. This dissertation addresses partial differential and integral equations (PDIE) based biomechanical modeling of soft tissue deformations incorporating the specific material properties to characterize the soft tissue responses for certain human interface behaviors. To achieve accurate simulation of real tissue deformations, several biomechanical finite element (FE) models are proposed to characterize liver tissue. The contribution of this work is in theoretical and practical aspects of tissue modeling. High resolution imaging techniques of Micro Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging are first proposed to study soft tissue deformation in this dissertation. These high resolution imaging techniques can detect the tissue deformation details in the contact region between the tissue and the probe for small force loads which would be applied to a surgical probe used. Traditional imaging techniques in clinics can only achieve low image resolutions. Very small force loads seen in these procedures can only yield tissue deformation on the few millimeters to submillimeter scale. Small variations are hardly to detect. Furthermore, if a model is validated using high resolution images, it implies that the model is true in using the same model for low resolution imaging facilities. The reverse cannot be true since the small variations at the sub-millimeter level cannot be detected. In this dissertation, liver tissue deformations, surface morphological changes, and volume variations are explored and compared from simulations and experiments. The contributions of the dissertation are as follows. For liver tissue, for small force loads (5 grams to tens of grams), the linear elastic model and the neo-Hooke's hyperelastic model are applied and shown to yield some discrepancies among them in simulations and discrepancies between simulations and experiments. The proposed finite element models are verified for liver tissue. A general FE modeling validation system is proposed to verify the applicability of FE models to the soft tissue deformation study. The validation of some FE models is performed visually and quantitatively in several ways in comparison with the actual experimental results. Comparisons among these models are also performed to show their advantages and disadvantages. The method or verification system can be applied for other soft tissues for the finite element analysis of the soft tissue deformation. For brain tissue, an elasticity based model was proposed previously employing local elasticity and Poisson's ratio. It is validated by intraoperative images to show more accurate prediction of brain deformation than the linear elastic model. FE analysis of brain ventricle shape changes was also performed to capture the dynamic variation of the ventricles in author's other works. There, for the safety reasons, the images for brain deformation modeling were from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning which have been used for brain scanning. The measurement process of material properties involves the tissue desiccation, machine limits, human operation errors, and time factors. The acquired material parameters from measurement devices may have some difference from the tissue used in real state of experiments. Therefore, an experimental and simulation based method to inversely evaluate the material parameters is proposed and compared

Club and Intramural Sports
Intramural Sports are sport competitions played between teams or individuals that are formed from the university community. Teams play each other for a period of time, followed by a single elimination tournament.
Club Sports is more specialized. Clubs are formed by groups of students and often compete with other sports clubs from other universities. Club Sports normally have dedicated practice times and seasons that are usually much longer than Intramural Sports. Intramural Sports competes within the university while Club Sports competes outside the university.

A Question For The Geniuses At SciFi
I see that SciFi is running a sweepstakes on its Made in Eureka website. As an aside, how cool would it be to have a Micro-Mitt? Seriously, whenever someone was really annoying you, you could wave at them and fry their face, but I digress. Where was I? Oh right, the sweepstakes. SciFi is giving away a Sony HDTV and Blue-ray player for the 'ultimate viewing experience'. The ironic thing? The 'ultimate viewing experience' doesn't include SciFi because SciFi doesn't broadcast in HD. Oh the irony, which didn't keep me from registering to win said 'ultimate television viewing experience'.
Note to the geniuses at SciFi. Now that the pilot of Eureka was a smashing success, how about taking some of that money and giving us SciFi in HD? Come on, if National Geographic can do it, you can too. Think of the glory that would be 'Mansquito' in HD! Brilliant!
On second thought, maybe it's a good thing SciFi isn't in HD. Ok, how about just the good shows and movies in HD then? How about a little high-def Boomer action? Yeah, Galactica in HD would rule. Which is probably why we'll only get ECW in HD….

The lunchtime house sports competitions are well under way this term with boys playing football and the girls playing hockey.
Years 3 – 6 Boys football have seen victories for Green Warriors with a 4-0 defeat of the Red Troopers – all four goals scored by Crusoe Meek.
Years 7 – 9 Boys football saw a high scoring game with Red Troopers defeat Green Warriors 4-2
Years 10 – 13 Boys football concluded with another win for Red Troopers with a 2-1 victory over the Green Warriors despite the Warriors being up at half time.

The fall TV season is starting up, but few new shows catch my interest (though I've heard great things about Amazon's newest series, Transparent). So today, I thought to combine this week's question for both film and TV: what's your favorite movie adaptation of a television series.
I would have to say three: The X-Files: Fight the Future, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut and The Blues Brothers, both two of my favorites comedies. The X-Files movie successfully captures the strengths of the series in the transition to the big screen. I'm a huge South Park fan, and the film conveys epitomizes the show's strengths (as well as taking the series raunch and profanity to a whole new level). And The Blues Brothers is perhaps the only Saturday Night Live movie that doesn't feel like an extended sketch. The chemistry between John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd has never been better, plus you can't go wrong with an excellent soundtrack.
But what about you?

One of the frequently expressed frustrations with JavaScript, especially from users coming from more static languages, is the lack of typing capabilities in JavaScript. Typing provides the ability to define and enforce contracts between interfaces such that interactions can be validated before violated assumptions result in later difficult-to-find bugs. On the other hand, many users that have grown fond of JavaScript have come to enjoy the fast and free style, and the minimalism of simply defining behavior without needing to make extra type definitions. However, these two coding preferences do not need to be mutually exclusive.
The abandoned ES4 effort made a valiant attempt to add typing (without losing dynamism) via gradual typing; however this still demanded the inclusion of intrusive typing annotations—thus adding type constraints to code polluted the otherwise simple direct JavaScript programming style necessitating more complex, difficult-to-follow code. Other efforts include libraries to define types on functions without extending syntax.
It is now possible to unobtrusively define type constraints on properties and methods in JavaScript with portable JSON schema based definitions called JSON schema interfaces (JSI). JSI is a typing system for JavaScript that does not force any new syntax on JavaScript. Schema structures can be used to define the type constraints in a way that works with existing JavaScript classes and objects.
The new typing module can be used both as a standalone bundle (with the JavaScript JSON schema library) which can be downloaded now. It also can be used as a Dojo module, available as
dojox.lang.typed. Adding type constraints to JavaScript classes is very simple; the type constraints follow the JSON schema structure, where the class acts as the root of the schema. One can define property constraints in the
properties property. The JSI extension to standard JSON schemas also allows method signatures to be defined in the
methods property, with the ability to define the types for parameters and return values.
Using Typed Classes
To demonstrate, first we will create a normal JavaScript class using the standard prototype pattern:
Balloon = function(diameter){
this.diameter = diameter;
Balloon.prototype = {
getVolume: function(){
return Math.pow(this.diameter, 3) * Math.PI / 6;
setVolume: function(volume){
this.diameter = Math.pow(volume * 6 / Math.PI, 1/3);
This class should work fine on its own, but if we want to define constraints to ensure that its interface is properly exposed and used as expected, we can declare the class as typed and add type constraints. Using the standalone library, we first define the class as type-able:
Balloon = typed(Balloon);
And now we can define constraints:
Balloon.properties = {
minimum: 0,
description:"This is the diameter of the balloon"
Now we can try out our constraints:
// this will work normally
goodBalloon = new Balloon(2);
// this will throw a TypeError because the diameter must be a number
goodBalloon.diameter = "not a number";
// this will throw a TypeError as it results in an invalid value for the diameter
badBalloon = new Balloon("not a number");
// this will throw a TypeError because the diameter must be at least zero.
goodBalloon.diameter = -10;
This is effectively JSON schema applied to JavaScript objects with live constraints. Rather than just validating the state of the object at some point in time, properties are kept valid throughout the life of the object. Notice also that the property definition we created only constrains a single property; any other properties can be added or removed from the object freely. Schemas are additive in their constraints; an empty schema does not enforce any constraints on an object, and it can take any form.
However, JSI takes us beyond just constraining properties. We can also constrain the calls to methods. To do this, we can create method definitions in a similar way that we create property definitions in a schema.
A method definition has two important attributes:
parameters and
returns. The
parameters attribute takes an array which defines the type for each parameter value to be passed to the method by position. The
returns attribute takes a schema/type definition to constrain what values can be returned by the method. We could define types on the methods that the class implements (those defined on the prototype):
Balloon.methods = {
minimum: 0,
description:"The new volume for the balloon."
description: "Set the volume (changes the diameter property)"
minimum: 0,
description:"The volume of the balloon."
Now we can try out the method definitions:
// create a new balloon:
goodBalloon = new Balloon(2);
// will work properly
// this will throw a TypeError
We can also define class inheritance with our schemas, as well as utilize composition for property and method definitions. Suppose we had defined a subclass of Balloon called ColoredBalloon:
function ColoredBalloon(color){
this.color = color;
ColoredBalloon.prototype = new Balloon(0);
ColoredBalloon = typed(ColoredBalloon);
We can define the inheritance structure in our schema when we define the schema for the subclass:
ColoredBalloon["extends"] = Balloon;
We can use composition for our property definitions. If we have another class called
function Color(red, green, blue){
We could define a color property for our ColoredBalloon class that takes Color instances:
ColoredBalloon.properties = {
color: Color
Now we can try our color property:
balloon = new ColoredBalloon(new Color(33,44,55));
// assign a color, this should work
balloon.color = new Color(255, 0, 0);
// this will fail, since the value is not an instance of Color (instanceof check is used)
balloon.color = "red";
// this will fail, since we inherit the property definitions from Balloon
balloon.diameter = "small";
We can also use existing classes in method definitions as well. For example, a method definition for a java-bean style setter for color would look like:
ColoredBalloon.methods = {
setColor: {
And all the method definitions are inherited from Balloon (as well as the method implementations through standard JavaScript prototype inheritance).
Using the Typing Module in Dojo
This typing capability is available in the
dojox.lang.typed module, and can be used just like the standalone "typed" function. In addition, this module integrates with Dojo's class constructing convenience function,
One feature that makes the dojox.lang.typed module convenient is that we don't need to reassign the return value of typed to the class variable; we can simply do:
dojox.lang.typed(dojo.declare("acme.Balloon", null, {
setVolume: function(volume){
... method implementations
acme.Balloon.properties = {
... property definitions
Furthermore, we can automate the typing of all our classes by setting the Dojo configuration variable
dojo.config.typeCheckAllClasses to true before loading
dojox.lang.typed. Then all classes that are declared (after
dojox.lang.typed is loaded) through
dojo.declare will be typed.
Development/Production Distinction
The typing module is intended to be used for development, easing the construction of classes that need to work together by verifying invariant assumptions. It is highly recommended that type checking be removed for production code. Type checking adds extra bytes (to download the schemas) and has a performance hit (to perform all the type checks), which should be avoided for production. Fortunately, the unobtrusive design makes this very doable. The actual class implementations are unaffected by typing definitions, and as long as the application runs without any type errors, the application should behave exactly the same without type definitions as it does with them. With this design, type definitions can be stored separately from implementations and easily omitted for production code.
In Dojo, ensuring that typing information is omitted can easily be done with the build process. There are a couple of ways of doing this. First we can utilize the build's
excludeStart() function to remove typing information. Therefore we could define our Balloon class:
//>>excludeStart("typed", true);
dojo.config.typeCheckAllClasses = true;
dojo.declare("acme.Balloon", null, {
setVolume: function(volume){
... method implementations
//>>excludeStart("typed", true);
acme.Balloon.properties = {
... property definitions
The build process will then strip out all the schema information.
While using
excludeStart() is a simple way to exclude type information, it can be a little ugly. Alternately, we could have our schemas stored in separate modules, and then use build profiles to omit the typing modules. This can contribute to better implementation/interface separation.
dojo.declare("acme.Balloon", null, {
setVolume: function(volume){
... method implementations
dojo.config.typeCheckAllClasses = true;
acme.Balloon.properties = {
... property definitions
Now in the build profile, we can include the schema modules as layerDependencies to completely exclude them from the build:
dependencies = {
layers: [
name: "../acme/Balloon.js",
layerDependencies : [
dependencies: [
Limitations and Potential
The JavaScript-based type checker is also limited in that it can't intercept
delete operations on properties. When a
delete takes place, the setter is not fired, and the type checker is not able to reject the action (in the case of required properties). The type checker also cannot control the addition of new properties that have been declared (in the property definitions or prototype).
JSI-based type checking does not have any mechanism for defining types of local variables. This is intentional. Local variables rarely benefit from type information. Integration of components from different sources can define their interaction solely through public interfaces (which are typeable with JSI), and local type inference mechanisms can usually provide sufficient information about local variable types for IDEs and code analysis.
A more complete JSI-based type checking system can be seen in Persevere. Persevere implements JSI for type checking in the server-side JavaScript environment, and is able to reject delete and new property actions that do not conform to the schema. Typing in JavaScript has been a controversial idea due to the obtrusive nature of traditional typing annotations, but JSI allows gradual type constraints to be applied in a way that does not interfere with JavaScript's simple syntax and object model.
Portability and Metadata Retrieval
JSON schema interfaces are completely language-agnostic. This means that interfaces can be defined that apply to implementations in different languages. This can be particular useful for defining contracts in RPC-style situations. In fact, the SMD format, which is used extensively by Dojo for defining remote services, is essentially a remote service-oriented form of JSI.
One of the challenges with traditional class systems is finding a way to reify type information. This is a non-issue with JSI, since the type system is based completely on a runtime data structure that is readily available and already understood.
Typing in JavaScript
While there has been a lot of controversy over typing, only the most extreme would not be willing to concede that in certain situations, typing can be a valuable asset for defining contracts between components. JSI allows for more robust evolution of an application, faster detection of invariant violations that lead to hard-to-find bugs, and better information for integration of components and type-based tooling. Furthermore, leveraging JSON schema gives developers a very rich set of options for constraining values, much more than most type systems.
JSI gives us a standardized data structure for defining types—allowing for more robust large-scale application development, a better pathway for JavaScript tool evolution, clean implementation/interface separation, and an integrated, intuitive class/typing system. And it's available in both the Dojo Toolkit and Persevere today!

Welcome back everyone to the third episode of Ian Hates Love and you probably saw from the title, but it's the Valentine's Day Special!
Sophie returns again, she's pretty much a co-host now, and her and Ian answer hater's questions about that day everyone has hated or loved at one point in their lives, Valentine's Day.
This episode is off the cuff and full of bad jokes, laughter (and snorting), embarrassing stories, and what will go down forever as the 2019 "Fajita Debacle"!
I shouldn't have to say this but, just go listen to the special. Do people even read descriptions anymore?

Nonlinear Electromechanical Deformation of Isotropic and Anisotropic Electro-Elastic Materials
Son, Seyul
MetadataShow full item record
Electro-active polymers (EAPs) have emerged as a new class of active materials, which produce large deformations in response to an electric stimulus. EAPs have attractive characteristics of being lightweight, inexpensive, stretchable, and flexible. Additionally, EAPs are conformable, and their properties can be tailored to satisfy a broad range of requirements. These advantages have enabled many target applications in actuation and sensing. A general constitutive formulation for isotropic and anisotropic electro-active materials is developed using continuum mechanics framework and invariant theory. Based on the constitutive law, electromechanical stability of the electro-elastic materials is investigated using convexity and polyconvexity conditions. Implementation of the electro-active material model into a commercial finite element software (ABAQUS 6.9.1, PAWTUCKET, RI, USA) is presented. Several boundary and initial value problems are solved to investigate the actuation and sensing response of isotropic and anisotropic dielectric elastomers (DEs) subject to combined mechanical and electrical loads. The numerical response is compared with experimental results to validate the theoretical model. For the constitutive formulation of the electro-elastic materials, invariants for the coupling between two families of electro-active fibers (or particles) and the applied electric field are introduced. The effect of the orientation of the electro-active fibers and the electric field on the electromechanical coupling is investigated under equibiaxial extension. Advantage of the constitutive formulation derived in this research is that the electromechanical coupling can be illustrated easily by choosing invariants for the deformation gradient tensor, the electro-active fibers, and the electric field. For the electromechanical stability, it is shown that the stability can be controlled by tuning the material properties and the orientation of the electro-active fibers. The electromechanical stability condition is useful to build a stable free energy function and prevent the instabilities (wrinkling and electric breakdown) for the electro-elastic materials. The invariant-based constitutive formulation for the electro-elastic materials including the isotropic and anisotropic DEs is implemented into a user subroutine (UMAT in ABAQUS: user defined material) by using multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient and the applicability of the UMAT is shown by simulating a complicated electromechanical coupling problem in ABAQUS/CAE. Additionally, the static and dynamic sensing and actuation response of tubular DE transducers (silicone and polyacrylate materials) with respect to combined electrical and mechanical stimuli is obtained experimentally. It is shown that the silicone samples have better dynamic and static sensing characteristics than the polyacrylate. The theoretical modeling accords well with the experimental results.

2 particles are constrained to move in a ring. Both particles begin moving at $t=0$ from $p=0$, each particle moving in the opposite direction of the other. It is known that they are moving at different constant velocities. Both particles pass each other (without interaction) 4 times before simultaneously returning to $p=0$.
With this information, how can I find out the ratio between the particles' respective velocities?
It seems to me that this would hold true in any case where $x:y$ is the ratio of the particles' velocities and $|x - y| = 5$. In that case, all the following would qualify: $${-2:3},\ {-3:2},\ {1:6},\ {2:7}$$
If furthermore, I know that the order of the positions where they pass is (in radians): $$\frac{4π}{5},\frac{8π}{5},\frac{2π}{5},\frac{6π}{5}$$ then can I definitively extrapolate the ratio?
Bonus points to anyone who can figure out what gave me the idea for this question in the first place.

Chinese new year is coming. 2012 is the year of the dragon with the first day of the Chinese new year occuring on Jan. 23, 2012.
In preparation for a New Year dinner party, I am cooking some favorite family dishes. These are not fancy recipes, rather traditional dishes that are reminiscent of childhood days.
I have made variations of these favorite recipes, having grown older and more health conscious. The meatball recipe below is traditionally deep fried. My recipe calls for baking at 400 degrees, and browning them at the last minute with the oven turn on broil. Just be watchful of the oven, so that you do not burn the meatballs.
Preparation time time: 15 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Yield: 24 meatballs
1 pound ground pork, chicken or turkey
2 sprig of green onions, very finely chopped
1/2 cup very finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons corn starch (for binding)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Stir and mix together above ingredients, then roll meatballs into bite-size balls.
3. Grease cookie sheet and arrange meatballs on sheet
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until well-browned and cooked through.
5. Serve with toothpicks for dipping.
Ginger Soy Dipping sauce:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 or 3 slices fresh ginger smashed with the side of a heavy knife
1. In a small pot, stir the dipping sauce ingredients together over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
2. Turn heat to low and stir frequently for about 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
3. Scoop out the ginger and serve in small dipping cups.
The meatballs can be frozen for future use. Keep up to 3 months.
1. Take out frozen meatballs and place on casserole dish.
2. Pour Chinese barbecue marinade of hoisin sauce/ketchup and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Shoot at the Moon is the story of the birth of the Moon, which was burning in the beginning, making it a threat to mankind. A couple, an archer called An and Ninh, a skillful silk weaver, decided to shoot arrows at it to stop the fire. Thanks to the strength of the tiger and deer of the mountains, An could finally shoot a piece of silk woven by his wife and cover the Moon. However, Ninh had embroidered her own image onto the silk and she landed on the moon without her lover. She braided her hair so that An could climb to the moon, so they lived there forever.
The mysterious atmosphere and magical characters of the Asian tale has inspired Linda Mai Phung to create a directional collection with refined details. In parallel with the realm of the night, the collection offers a palette of tonal colors with subtle contrasts and sophisticated textures. Enchanting illustrations by French artist Marilou Chabert and exclusive handwoven jacquard fabric made by the weavers of the Chieng Chau cooperative, in Northern Vietnam, convey the tale in Linda Mai Phung's designs.
Linda Mai Phung stays true to her ethical values by promoting traditional savoir-faire in Vietnam (handwoven jacquard made in Mai Chau, natural lacquered silk from Chau Doc) and by using eco-textiles such as organic cotton in her designs.
Each piece of Linda Mai Phung's clothes tells a story and is made while respecting the people and the environment.

Broom: (n) a long-handled brush of bristles or twigs used for sweeping.
I know what a broom is.
I could even identify one at a distance.
If sent into a large room to find it, I would be successful in no time at all.
Yet I really don't know anything about a broom.
I've had one thrust in my direction with belligerent orders to "help clean up." But I've always been a little bit of a loss as to what the correct process is in "brooming."
I've seen people take short, brusque strokes–like they were angry at the floor or infuriated with the dirt.
Then I've seen people take long, easy passing with the broom, sweeping up the dirt gently in front of them.
There are brooms that work sideways.
There are brooms that work up and down.
(I guess that's it.)
But I am a little embarrassed to admit that my "broomsmanship" has been lacking, partially because I'm lazy, but mostly because when I tried to use one, a nearby competitor (normally a female) would snatch it from my hands because I was failing to be reverent.
She's demonstrate and then hand it back to me, and rapscallion that I am, I would realize that if I could simulate an additional failure, in no time at all she would insist I was incompetent and do the job herself.
It always worked.
I'm embarrassed to share it with you.
But I must be honest–I have no great stories about "brooming"–only being able to tell you thatI can identify one.

On a trip up Highway 1 you will probably notice the three State Beaches located between Santa Maria and Santa Barbara. I have always wanted to see what they had in store so I stopped by Refugio State Beach to soak in the sun and sand one summer day.
This beach is literally a quarter mile off Highway 1 and has a wide assortment of tent camping and RV camping for you to enjoy. If you are simply going for a day you can pay 10 dollars to park your car and just hang out at the beach.
When I went in late summer this beach was only partially full, which gave me the feeling of being somewhat secluded even so close to a main city like Santa Barbara. This is one of the things thats not great about Southern California, every beach you go to is completely full during the summer months and it is hard to find some seclusion. Refugio State Beach really did provide that while I was there though and I wonder how crowded it gets during a weekend in July.
The beach itself has a bunch of palm trees that have grown right near the sand. I loved this juxtaposition between the palm trees and the calm waves crashing on the shore. The palm trees were huge as well. I needed my wide lens just to fully capture them in the frame.
There were people setting out to kayak in the nice morning sun, and with the calm waves I bet this is a great time to go paddle up the coast a little ways. There were also some others building the below structure from the natural plant debri.
This state beach also has a lot of great hiking trails and fishing spots located conveniently near by.
While I am partial to the Central Coast of San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach, Refugio State Beach really is a great place to go on a camping trip with the family. It is close to many major cities but provides enough natural beauty and seclusion that you can really enjoy the pristine coast line the way it was ment to be enjoyed. Check out the rest of the pictures and get directions to visit yourself below.
