Doped silicon is an exceptionally pure form of silicon with a strictly controlled minimum supplementation of a related chemical element: phosphorus. Phosphorus can be produced from silicon via a nuclear reaction in a nuclear reactor, i.e. when irradiated silicon absorbs neutrons, which creates phosphorus. The ratio is 1 added phosphorus atom per 1 billion silicon atoms. Because of its specific characteristics our BR2 reactor is particularly suitable for the 'doping' of silicon crystals of various diameters in accordance with the highest quality requirements.
Doped silicon is a perfect semi-conductor for high energy electrical applications such as wind turbines, solar energy installations, hybrid vehicles and high speed trains. This semi-conductor facilitates the efficient transport of electricity over very long distances. All these applications require very homogenous doped silicon – our speciality thanks to the BR2 reactor.
We mainly work on behalf of silicon producers in Japan and China. They send crystals of various diameters (4, 5, 6 or 8 inch) to SCK•CEN. We produce 15 to 25 tons of doped silicon annually in two installations (SIDONIE and POSEIDON) specifically developed for this purpose.
Once irradiated we keep the crystals for conditioning purposes, which includes cleaning, inspection and packaging. The crystals are then shipped back to the silicon producers, who process the crystals into wafers (chips) and electronic components. All our operations are subject to the stringent ISO 9001:2000 quality controls.
In recent years, we have doubled the irradiation capacity for silicon and thus, SCK•CEN has an ever greater contribution to the success of renewable energy.

From Skin79 comes The Oriental Shimmering BB Cream – now why did I buy this when I have pretty much given up on most BB creams?
Because with it's shimmery finish I figured this product would be an excellent highlighter!
They say:
The oriental tea blending ingredients including White Tea, Green Tea and Black Tea keeps skin brighter and glossier by offering comfort to skin. Two patent ingredients, Nano Vita Silk containing Silk Amino Acid and Vitamin type ingredients and Oriental Tea Newplex containing various tea ingredients deliver effective components to make healthy skin.
This product is handy!
It comes in a giant fat pen and has a brush built into it. Makes is easy to use but you must keep the head clean otherwise it just becomes a massive breeding ground for germs and starts to smell (like the way YSL Touche Eclat does after a while!).
Packaging is quite appealing:
Skin79 is an unusual brand that began with BB creams, they now have skincare products and concealers and so on.
Here is the brush head, it's synthetic. It's actually so full that it makes it somewhat difficult to blend with:
Click click! This is how the product comes out. It is very glowy so I don't think anyone should use this as an all over product! You'd look like the moon….
I've been using it down the nose and around the 'c' zone and under the eye. It works quite well – there is shimmer but in a really beautiful subtle way and is very glowy. I didn't notice any irritations with this product as I sometimes can with BB products.
The result:
Yes I like this product! It's been quite a hand highlighting product but you do have to be careful you don't get too much out because the applicator dispenses too much.

Global IP Network
Global Virtual Link
Streamline your Connectivity with
NTT Communications
Global Connections on one of the World's Largest Networks
Leverage the scope and reliability of the NTT Communication's Tier-1 Global IP Network when making Ethernet connections between North America, Asia and Europe with Global Virtual Link.
Global Virtual Link is a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network solution that enables a seamless connection between two locations offering a secure and flexible alternative to costly private lines.
As a virtual point-to-point connection operating over the NTT Communications network, Global Virtual Link efficiently delivers your voice, data, or video content to locations in the US and abroad. Global Virtual Link offers usage-based billing and flexible bandwidth options ranging from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps.
Why Choose Global Virtual Link
Global Virtual Link allows for a secure flow of information between locations utilizing a private path across our network. This configuration melds the flexibility and scalability of Layer 3 technology with the dedicated traffic paths and management capabilities of Layer 2 so you get the best of both layers.
By leveraging our Tier-1 IP network's points of presence you will be seamlessly connected around the clock.
Seamlessly scalable to meet your needs, Global Virtual Link is available between POP locations on the NTT Communications network.
Global Virtual Link is volume tiered, based on commitment and allows for bursting, so you only pay for the traffic you need. It uses pseudo-wire Ethernet emulation technology, which runs across our backbone, delivering substantial cost savings over traditional private line networks. Additionally Ethernet is a well understood protocol, so there's no training investment involved.
Flexible and Scalable
We'll provide you with a low latency solution and a flexible upgrade path for your existing network at speeds up to 10Gbps. An upgrade in bandwidth is just a call away and can be added within days, not weeks or months, as with traditional WAN technology.
Safe and Reliable
With prioritized buffering your traffic gets where it needs to go quickly. There's also no Layer 3 packet analysis or routing, which means no risk of spoofing or DDoS attacks. And you can easily encrypt parts or all of your traffic to prevent access by non-authorized users. We provide a defined path via LSP that easily directs your traffic between end points, with no risk since we have redundant, automatic failover to backup LSP's.
Global Virtual Link makes it easy to integrate WAN reach into an existing LAN without any of the overhead normally associated with adding WAN capabilities. Multiple traffic types such as voice, video, and data can all run on the same link, so there's no need for separate networks. Global Virtual Link is also protocol neutral, so you can run the Layer 2 or 3 protocol of your choice across your WAN.

To switch to private connectivity that won't expose your data to the risks associated with using the public Internet. Contact our sales representative for further information.

My Swirling Mish-Mash of Media Thoughts"
I was rummaging through an old box last night and came upon a few press clippings of my old beginning so long ago with the old sister paper of the
St. Petersburg Tampa Bay Times the defunct but not forgotten Evening Independent. I looked at the browning and tattered pages ans remembered a simpler moment in journalism where the written word took time, meant something, and only the gifted seemed to boast, print or even attempt this form of communication.
Sometimes I still relish those long forgotten days for their harsh simplicity and archaic manner as I typed on the green hued screen of that old IBM computer. The monitor itself was the size of most home televisions of that day, and it's bright white blinking cursor always seemed to beat in unison with my heart as I posted the words, comments and events that had unfolded and enlightened me that day.
Be it seeing a football game where the opponent (Lake Kathleen vs Dunedin HS) did not have a field goal kicker, or writing about a player so sick he (John Bishop) was throwing up on the sidelines when the soccer ball was propelled out of bounds, to a running back (Mike Ierulli) who had amassed 1,500 yards in his career. Every day was a new nugget discovered, and at that juncture in time, only a handful of people every wrote or gave their accounts of that moment.
It is so unlike the electronic marvels, insta-grams and Tweets of today that can spread a rumor like wildfire, or crush a career with a comment that is forever attached to a person or event. Trust me, I love the innovations of today where news flies as fast as your DSL or WiFi connection, but it comes with dangers we never imagined back in the olden days.
Where once careers were made or broken on the words of wisdom from those in the ivory towers of the Fourth Ward, today a single person with a cellphone, camera or even a Twitter account can take down an institution, a high and mighty player or even form a swirling coalition of current and disinformation about an event. Back then the first rule of writing was ""accuracy, accuracy, accuracy". Now it seems to run and gambit of who can get it world-wide the quickest with the most re-tweets or comments.
I still do not write for money or fame, my writs are posted and written because I love the game of baseball. Most of them are devoid of stats, articulate discussions and sometimes seems like ramblings, but I digress from the Associated Press Style Book to write my own thoughts, opinions and viewpoints. I take pride in my time as a writer who was paid, and get more joy out of my free ramblings and rants.
I do not hearken the "old days" because I could force feed my opinions and comments upon so many without interaction, I miss it for the accuracy, the integrity and the sense of accomplishment after a long day as the copy was sent down to the typeset room. But I also do not want to hit those dark days again where communication was antiquated beyond belief and waiting cost you a scoop or exclusive. Maybe I am hoping for a 3-second rule, a moment of re-reading your stuff, deciding what is trash, then hit that "enter" button. Maybe it is too much to ask in a era where time is not only money but power and recognition, even for a brief moment.
But that is what this era in media has produced, millions of "media savvy" articulate purveyors of the written words who hopes they one day find fame, fortune and maybe a mention on ESPN. For myself, it is still about the game, still about the players and their actions, reactions and consequences. The game moves fast, but the present day media moves even faster…Sometimes faster than the speed of words and images as they enter our eyes and minds.

Visiting a loved one receiving short- or long-term care in a skilled nursing facility can be a confusing, difficult and uncomfortable experience due to the unfamiliar environments and the realities of facing the aging of a loved one and others.
The well-being of patients and residents depends on family involvement and seeing familiar, caring faces. Family visits are one of the highlights in every patient's or resident's life, and these visits provide him or her with positivity, encouragement, hope and happiness that is invaluable to the processes of healing and living.
When visiting a loved one at a Life Care Centers of America facility or other care center, there are ways you can be prepared that will help ensure that your visit is comfortable, that you know what to do, that you know what to expect and that you know how to react.
When preparing to visit a loved one, follow any visitation hours or guidelines the facility may have established. You should also plan a short initial visit to assess how much time your loved one can spend comfortably with company (some treatments, medications or medical conditions can leave him or her easily tired). When you are ready to plan a visit, call your loved one before you arrive. Arrange a time that is convenient for him or her that does not interfere with scheduled medical care. If your visit is around a meal or activity time, consider asking if you may join in. Should you need to, bring a supportive friend or child that the resident or patient knows (be certain younger visitors know what to expect).
Upon arrival at the facility, there are a variety of sights, sounds and smells that may be unfamiliar, intimidating or discomforting. You will see people in wheelchairs, people using walkers and people lying in bed. Some will be happy and talkative; others may be in pain, sleeping or unable to respond to you. There will be medical equipment, feeding and oxygen tubes, nurses, dietitians, doctors and other family members visiting other residents and patients. Smells such as cleaning solutions, food, beauty salon chemicals and possibly even unpleasant body odors may be encountered. Finally, there may be sounds of alarms, equipment beeping, telephones, conversations and laughter, crying and shouting, and music and television.
When you reach your loved one's room, knock on his or her door and ask permission to enter - remember, this room is his or her home while at the facility. Once you enter, it's important to reassure your loved one with touch. Give him or her a hug, a pat on the hand or a kiss on the cheek. You may want to eliminate distractions by closing the door or turn off the television when you first arrive. Treat your loved one with respect and not like a child, acting calm and stress-free. If you are anxious or uncomfortable, your loved one will be able to tell, and it may affect his or her mood.
Initiating conversation with your loved one may be more difficult in the unfamiliar environment of a care center. There are some easy conversation ideas you can use to begin your visit. For example, you can provide meaningful or anecdotal information about a family member or a friend who lives out of town. Ask your loved one questions about the food, activities or other residents. You could ask your loved one for advice on a situation or about a hobby he or she may have expertise in, such as gardening or cooking. You might talk about your own family, job or goals and include your loved one in the conversation by relating certain things to his or her life or by asking questions. You may also relive the past by talking about weddings, jobs, school, most embarrassing moments or family history. If conversation still proves difficult, you could ask the facility's activities director for a daily schedule and join your loved one for a class or game.
Your loved one will appreciate you dropping by for short visits, as well as staying for longer visits. Regardless of the length of your stay, there are a variety of ways to spend time with your loved one:
You can enhance your loved one's life by getting to know his or her caregivers. Just as there is an adjustment period for your loved one, the nurses, doctors, staff members and volunteers at the facility have to get to know and become comfortable with your loved one as well. Working in a care facility can be challenging, but the support shown to staff by the families of patients and residents can foster growth in the lives of everyone involved.
In order to make the transition easier for both your loved one and the staff, there are several simple things you can do. Provide staff with a photograph and short biography of your loved one that includes information such as likes and dislikes, hobbies, practiced religion and personality traits. Take a few minutes to exchange small talk with the staff members each visit, paying particular attention to those who are assigned to interact with your loved one. Learn their interests and ask about their families. If you are leaving town or if someone else will be visiting your loved one, let the staff know. Don't be afraid to privately ask the staff members questions about your loved one or for advice on how to handle situations concerning your loved one's care. Speak with the activities director and find out if there is an activity your loved one enjoys that you could volunteer to help with. This will even help you if your loved one has made friends or has a roommate, as it will allow you an opportunity to get to know them.
While many care centers have small general stores where residents and patients can purchase items they may need or want, their access to shopping centers or department stores is likely limited. Small presents can brighten your loved one's day and make him or her feel appreciated and cared for. Here are some suggested gifts to bring your loved one:
Making holidays and special days exciting can bring joy and anticipation to the lives of residents and patients. How you celebrate with your loved one can not only brighten his or her day, but the residents and patients around your loved one as well. Celebrating a special day or time of year can lead to your loved one sharing stories of your visit with friends at the facility, and it can lead to your loved one becoming closer to the caregivers and staff at the facility, too. Many facilities have private family rooms or private dining room areas that you can schedule to hold your party in.
Birthdays are a great opportunity to celebrate with your loved one at the care facility. You can bring balloons, decorations and a cake or favorite dessert. Invite other friends and family members to join you at the facility for the celebration. You can bring gifts and cards, watch old family videos and enjoy spending time with one another.
The different seasons can bring changes to your visits as well. In the spring, consider bringing an indoor basket of flowers for your loved one to tend and enjoy. If your loved one is a sports fan, bring snacks and watch your favorite sports teams together. There are also several religious holidays you might celebrate in ways your loved one does traditionally.
As summer arrives, you can reminisce about past vacations using old scrapbooks or photo albums. You can take your loved one on a picnic or have a cookout. Go for a walk around the facility's grounds and sit in the shade with a fan. You can make lemonade with your loved one or reflect on patriotic holidays. Independence Day can be a wonderful opportunity to ask your loved one about military history if he or she has served, and to thank him or her for the service.
Autumn brings fall foliage, and you could take your loved one for a walk around the facility's grounds to look at the changing leaves. You might bring your children or young family members who can discuss their new school activities and schedules with the patient or resident. As the weather cools, it's a great time to bring your loved one a new shawl or sweater. Carving pumpkins or baking pies make good autumn activities, as well.
Winter brings a time of reflection and looking forward to the future. Activities perfect for winter include making calendars noting family birthdays and special occasions and making New Year's resolutions. You could make eggnog, tea or hot chocolate with your loved one as you share past traditions and express your appreciation to the facility staff.
As Christmas or Hanukkah nears, help decorate your loved one's room with familiar items from home or new things he or she would enjoy. Bring a CD of traditional holiday music and help him or her address holiday greeting cards or buy gifts for friends and family. Ask the staff if there is a holiday event for residents and patients, and if there is, help your loved one prepare for whatever that event entails. You can bake cookies with your loved one or participate in a charity such as preparing a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child.
The facility and your love one's medical experts will make the final determination of if your loved one is physically able, mentally alert and cognizant enough to handle an outing. Like anyone, your loved one still wants to go places, do things and see things, even if his or her ability to do so may be less than it once was.
Your loved one's care center will be happy to give you details on any procedures or rules for taking patients and residents from the buildings for short excursions. Some insurance programs may also have restrictions on outings. If an outing is possible, you will want to make sure you have contact information for the facility in case of an emergency, and you may want to discuss with your loved one's caregivers any advice or tips they may have for caring for your loved one.
Depending on your loved one's physical and mental capabilities, there are many outings you might consider:
Should your loved one be unable to leave the premises, you could work with staff to decorate the dining hall like a favorite restaurant or special place. Coordinate with the facility's activities department and make sure to include things that may bring back memories, such as big band music or pictures of people from a certain era.
Children hold a special place in the hearts of most older people. If your loved one has grandchildren, make it a point to bring them to visit, but be certain that you explain to the children what the resident's or patient's condition is. Be prepared to answer their questions honestly, and describe any medical equipment, bandages or signs of ailments that the children may see on their visit. Children always react more comfortably if they have an idea of what they will encounter before they arrive.
Younger children may withdraw from their grandparent if they do not understand the differences caused by aging or the effects of some medical conditions on their loved one. By doing simple activities together, grandparent and child can bond with the child having a clear understanding of why his or her grandparent is acting differently.
Some activities children can do with a resident or patient:
Making sure that children are aware of the possible changes in their loved one before the visit will help them be less anxious around the resident or patient and make them better equipped to continue developing their relationship with him or her.

JMSJCA is now a java.net project. It can be found here: http://jmsjca.dev.java.net.
The project is currently used in Java CAPS, JMS Grid and the JMS BC as part of the open-jbi-components project.
The connector can be used as a J2EE 1.4 Resource Adapter, but its libraries can also be used as an abstraction layer to JMS servers from non J2EE-code. As such, the adapter acts like a library that hides the complexities of transactions, concurrency, connection failure detection, JMS server implementation idiosyncracies, etc. That is how it is used in the JMS BC as part of the open-jbi-components project.

To configure a Mac OS X user account so that .DS_Store files are not created when interacting with a remote file server using the Finder, follow the steps below:
Note: This will affect the user's interactions with SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV servers.
- Open Terminal.
- Execute this command:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
- Either restart the computer or log out and back in to the user account.
If you want to prevent .DS_Store file creation for other users on the same computer, log in to each user account and perform the steps above—or distribute a copy of the newly modified com.apple.desktopservices.plist file to the ~/Library/Preferences folder of other user accounts.
These steps do not prevent the Finder from creating .DS_Store files on the local volume, and these steps do not prevent previously existing .DS_Store files from being copied to the remote file server.
Disabling the creation of .DS_Store files on remote file servers can cause unexpected behavior in the Finder (click here for an example).

Generating Miles wealth couldn't be simpler, and the more Miles you earn, the more rewards and benefits you can enjoy.
There are two types of Miles in the Emirates Skywards programme, which are valuable in different ways.
Already a member?
Skywards Miles
Every time you fly with Emirates or flydubai you earn Skywards Miles, even on a special fare.
The Skywards Miles you earn when flying Emirates or flydubai are calculated using four basic inputs: route, fare type, class and tier. So you can maximise your Miles income depending on what fare you choose and what class you fly in. Once you reach the Silver tier you also begin to collect additional Miles based on your tier status.
Click the tabs below for more information.
See how many Miles you can earn
Tier Miles
You also earn Tier Miles in addition to Skywards Miles every time you fly with Emirates or flydubai on any fare type. They cannot be spent and are only used to build up your tier status from Blue, through Silver and Gold, to Platinum.
You earn Skywards Miles when you are a customer of one of our global partners, who often offer special seasonal promotions on top of their usual Miles rates. Visit our partners' pages to find out about their current offers and please remember to quote your membership number when booking so we can credit your Miles account.
Earning Skywards Miles with your favourite brands in the UAE just got faster and easier. Download the Skywards Everyday app now.

GannonMedia necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
We have a cornerstone content piece we need to highlight (along with its sponsor) as well as pointing out an award our magazine received.
This contest has been clarified from an earlier entry.
The Land Report - LandReport.com
The cornerstone of our magazine and Web site is a feature called 'The Land Report 100'. The 100 details the 100 largest landowners in the United States and is the only list of its kind to be published in the last decade. You can see the premiere issue of the magazine and how it displayed The Land Report 100 here: http://mrmagazine.files.wordpress.c…report.jpg
-We need a Land Report 100 logo for specific use on the site and possibly in print materials.
The current 'logo' (which it's really not) can be seen here:
We also use that 'logo' on our home page to link to that piece of content. We need a new button to put in its place. Using an adaptation of the logo above, please create a button to use on the home page.
The button has to 322px wide, but take some freedom with the height.
The Land Report 100 is sponsored by American Forest Management so the button should also include 'Sponsored by American Forest Management'
Please when designing the button for The Land Report 100 be sure to take into account the color scheme of our current site.
As an aside, we also have a minor second request.
We need a badge to tell of an award we received. It's like those gold foil stickers you got in grade school, pointing out that our magazine was named one of the 15 Hottest Launches in the Country for 2007.
Another magazine -Garden and Gun- was named to the same list.
You can see how they promote their award at gardenandgun.com. We'd like something similar but it has to fit into our color scheme at landreport.com. Take some creative license with the site and how we could best integrate the award badge into our header image. This just an addendum to the contest and we dont feel it requires its own contest.
- Explained above
- Variety is good but please try to keep with an 'earthy' tone for colors or muted reds, blues, purples etc.
Something that's way to busy. It should be simple and to the point. Web 2.0 styling isn't necessary, no bubble letters etc. Classic styling.

"Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions," the most popular host since Bob Hope tweeted. "Looking forward to the show."

Fish en Papillote or Fish in Parchment Paper
Cooking Fish in Parchment Paper
Simple But Elegant Fish Course Ideas For Valentine's Day
Ok guys, here's a simple but elegant fish dish you can prepare that will really impress your mate. Easy to do, dramatic presentation, and you get to cut out heart shapes!
That's right. You heard me. Heart shapes. Figure you only have to do this once a year. Next time you make this could be for Superbowl Sunday and you could cut out football shapes.
What I'm talking about is fish en papillote. That is a fancy French term for "wrapped in parchment." It's a low-fat way to prepare moist and flavorful fish and impress your Valentine at the same time.
The fish is enclosed in paper and steams in its own juices and the other tasty ingredients we're going to include. Vegetables and fish will cook together, meaning you don't have to cook a separate vegetable dish–less clean up for you!
This recipe calls for using parchment paper. You can substitute foil, but if you do, you won't want to add anything acidic, such as citrus juice, wine or tomatoes because the acids can react with the foil and make your food taste bad.
For this particular recipe, I suggest you stick with parchment paper. Parchment is paper that has been impregnated with silicone so that it is non-stick. It is available at the regular grocery store in rolls next to the foil and wax paper.
This recipe makes for a modest fish course. If you want this to be the main course, by all means, use larger fillets.
2 - 12" squares of parchment paper
Extra virgin olive oil or olive oil spray
2 - 4-oz fillets of white fish (such as sole or snapper)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 oz. dry white wine
2 lemon slices
Zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
2 sprigs of dill, or about ½ teaspoon dried dill
About 16-20 thin asparagus spears
How To Prepare At Home
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Fold each square of parchment in half and cut out a heart shape. You have all done this before""in school when you made Valentine cards.
Open each heart and brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil or spray with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Wash asparagus and break off the woody ends. Just bend them; they will naturally break where they should. Discard the ends. Lightly spray olive oil on the asparagus and toss with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper and the lemon zest.
Divide the asparagus in half. Put half of the asparagus on each of the hearts, just to one side of the center of each heart.
Put one piece of fish on top of each bundle of asparagus. Top with one sprig of dill (or half of the dried dill), a slice of lemon and either ½ of the butter or a light drizzle of olive oil. Splash half the wine on top of each piece of fish.
Now, to wrap up these packets: fold the top of the heart over the fish and asparagus. At the top end of the heart, away from the point, fold up both edges (top and bottom) and crease well. Move down about ½ inch and fold up the edges, overlapping your first fold. Continue folding and creasing all around the parchment heart until you get to the point. Fold and crease the point twice. You now have successfully wrapped your fish en papillote.
Place the packets side by side on a baking sheet, making sure the packets aren't touching.
Bake in the center of the oven until the packets are well puffed and the fish is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
To serve, put a packet on your sweetheart's plate, place in front of her, and with a dramatic flourish and a "watch out for the steam," carefully slice the packet open with a sharp knife. You watch out, too: the steam will be very hot.

I am a Chinese girl, I saw your website. Do you know the vegetable parchment paper? I want to buy the vegetable parchment paper, but I don't know the vegetable parchment paper company website. Can you tell me that? thanks very much ~ waiting for your reply.
Hi Maggie, if you do a search for vegetable parchment paper on any of the search engines, you will come up with many good brands. Here's one I found on Amazon.com for Vegetable Parchment Paper.
Can the fish in parchment be put together in advance? Would be great to assemble then put in fridge for an hour or so before cooking.
Hi Linda, I don't see why not. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out. – RG
Thank you , I'll have to subscribe your feed and read the rest I think. The first date my wife and I had nearly 20 years ago now was a lovely seafood restaurant in Napoli, so I've been spending ages trying to find a decent grilled lobster recipes like we had that night – our anniversary is next month so I'm hoping to surprise her!
Thanks for sharing Alissa – RG
The picture at the beginning of the recipe does not reflect the ingredients in the recipe….it should at least look as described….
You are absolutely correct Sandy and I'm getting better at photographing my dishes but sometimes the photos don't come out as well as I hoped so I find an alternative at a stock library. That's what happened in this case. I'll make this dish again and try to do better. – RG

Greece's prime minister on Tuesday promised an austerity-weary nation that 2013 will bring the first signs of economic recovery after a punishing five-year recession, and held out hope that pending tax reforms will reduce the burden on lower earners.
Greece's prime minister on Tuesday promised an austerity-weary nation that 2013 will bring the first signs of economic recovery after a punishing five-year recession, and held out hope that pending tax reforms will reduce the burden on lower earners.
Antonis Samaras said last week's new debt relief deal with international creditors - on whose loans the country has depended for more than two years - has «finally» killed fears that Greece could be forced to abandon the club of European nations that share the euro currency.
To secure two bailouts and the new debt concessions from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund, Greece imposed drastic spending cuts and tax increases that slashed incomes and contributed to an economic output slump of more than 20 percent. Health, education and welfare funds were slashed, and unemployment has reached 25 percent.
"2013 is a turning point,» Samaras told a business conference in Athens. «For the first time we will see signs of recovery."
The government has said it expects a return to growth in 2014.
Samaras said last week's deal with creditors in Brussels, which hinges on a 10 billion euro debt buyback drive this week, affords Greece «a single chance ... which we must not squander - because it will be the last."
Samaras denied press reports his three-party coalition is planning to slap a 45 percent income tax rate on people earning more than 25,000 euros a year, saying a draft of new tax legislation would lower the burden on that income bracket and pledging a gradual reduction in rates as deficit-cutting measures take effect.
Finance Ministry figures released Tuesday said Greece has achieved a primary surplus - which excludes spending on debt servicing - of 2.3 billion euros in the first 10 months of 2012, compared to a 4.2 billion euros shortfall a year ago.
Speaking earlier at the same conference, the leader of the left-wing anti-bailout party that is leading opinion polls called for a delay in the repayment of the country's rescue loans until the recession is over.
Alexis Tsipras, who heads the main opposition Radical Left Coalition Party, argued that the austerity policies pursued by Samaras' government would continue to weaken Greece's economy and leave the country ever-more reliant on emergency loans.
"What we ask for is time,» Tsipras said. «We ask for a suspension - a moratorium - of servicing the debt until the country returns to a course of growth, so that we can mobilize resources, restart the economy, and bring growth."
Tsipras said the new terms set out by the IMF and its 16 euro partners fell short of a viable solution.
"Unfortunately, they have postponed reaching a lasting settlement for the country's debt and crisis,» he said. «This will only extend the uncertainty."
The 38-year-old Tsipras saw a five-fold increase in popular support for his party between general elections in 2009 and June 2012 as he campaigned by attacking Greece's political establishment and economic austerity.
The conservative-led government says his policies are populist and unrealistic and would see Greece default on its debt and leave the eurozone.
Tsipras, who has led opinion polls for about three months, insisted that his party - an often-squabbling alliance of a dozen small left-wing groups - is ready to govern.
"Our program is based on the intention to renegotiate the (bailout) agreement with our partners - not to repeat the causes of the crisis but to deal with them,» he saidSource: ekathimerini.com

California Home Decorated to Feel Like a Tropical Retreat
Formal architecture and casual design harmonize
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 16
The beach is less than a mile away, but Wendi Young and her family rarely go there. Life is simply too good in their Southern California home. Each evening, after work and basketball practice, the family gathers in the kitchen and folds open the floor-to-ceiling glass doors to a courtyard showered with sunlight. Wendi and stepdaughter Kelsey prep what her husband, John Carrido, plans to make for dinner. Then the girls set the table outside and rev up the hot tub so it's ready for a soothing soak later.
"We enjoy the house so much; I cannot believe how much we stay at home," Wendi says. "I'm surprised by that." But she's not terribly surprised at how well the house turned out. An interior designer who focuses on custom homes, she had the vision for this featureless site six years ago when, newly married, she and John decided to build their house there.
The lot offered "a very small peekaboo of the ocean," Wendi says, but more important, a southern exposure and views of the sunsets. Wendi crafted a long U-shaped home oriented around a courtyard on the south side. Nearly every room opens to this space through wall-size custom-made glass doors that fold back to eliminate barriers to the outdoors. "Our house works so well because it truly is indoors and outdoors," Wendi says. "We leave the bifold doors open all weekend when we're home and much of the time in the evening during the week." A covered loggia centered in the courtyard serves as a dining and living area, complete with a television.
Wendi incorporated more outdoor living spaces in the form of a double-decker veranda on the front of the house. Ten-foot-deep porches span the west-facing house on both the first and second levels, creating shaded spaces ideal for entertaining guests and viewing golden California sunsets.
Much of the success of the house is the result of the extensive research that went into it—if you can call a honeymoon research. Wendi and John delighted in the invisible divisions between indoors and out on Fiji's Turtle Island. They also admired similar laid-back, natural qualities on other island vacations to Hawaii and the Caribbean. "We thought, why not do that here, and incorporate that in our everyday life," Wendi says.
To that end, the house is modeled after a Dutch or British Colonial structure, a mix of formal architecture and casual furnishings that is typically found on tropical islands. John wanted relaxed, easygoing surroundings; Wendi is drawn to traditional Cape Cod-style houses. "My goal was to combine those two preferences," she says. "Plantation homes have an underlying order. They are structured and symmetrical, which gives them a sense of elegance. With Colonial style, the seaside location gives it a casual feeling. The way you're decorating it, you're being more informal. Instead of silks, you're using linens."
Wendi's design approach was disciplined. She used several hallmarks of island Colonial style, including high, coffered ceilings decked in elaborate paneled detail and pale walls contrasted with substantial mahogany woodwork. The formal environment is offset by less-stately choices: bamboo furniture, bold bark cloth prints, natural-fiber rugs, and paintings in the style of Paul Gauguin. There are also elements of trademark Southern California fun. A blue-and-gold dorado fish that John caught is mounted and hangs above the bar.
Wendi admits that creating a house for John and herself was not as snag-free as she initially imagined. "I thought he would go along with everything I said, but no, he had strong opinions," she says, smiling. "I am so glad he voiced those opinions; the house is stronger for it." This good-natured give and take led to a non-formulaic, engaging kitchen. A by-the-book kitchen designer early in her career, Wendi sketched out a plan with a hooded range occupying focal-point status on one wall. John, the cook in the house, pointed out that this would put his back to their guests.
"He really wanted to feel engaged with people when he was cooking," Wendi says. "We compromised by putting the cooktop on the island and a piece of artwork on the wall to create a focal point. That was a good two-hour-long discussion over wine one evening," she laughs.
Many nights, the family enjoys having the house all to themselves, but they are eager to share it as well. John's extended family and Wendi's brother's family live in the area. "They're here all the time," Wendi says. With its well-proportioned rooms, smooth flow, and enticing outdoor areas, the house accommodates a crowd with ease. Several times a year, the couple host gatherings of up to 50 people, and they often offer up their home as a location for Kelsey's school fund-raisers. There is also the occasional California-style dinner party, with a formal table dressed in candles, gleaming silver, and crisply pressed linens—all set outside.
How and whom they would entertain was part of Wendi and John's planning. In the front of the house, the living and dining rooms feel slightly removed, ideal for intimate gatherings. Then there's the spacious island and dining area in the kitchen for quick snacks and John's famous Sunday breakfasts. Just steps away in the garden, the outdoor dining options double with the addition of a second zinc table.
Landscape designer Molly Wood created a tropical environment, mixing such tall and low mounded plants as kangaroo paw, various bamboos, fragrant jasmine, and trumpet vines.
Sixteen-year-old Kelsey often has friends in for a sleepover in the courtyard. Mimicking an idea from Fiji, the sofas can be pushed together to form a big bed. It's a feature that, like the rest of the house, the entire family enjoys. "When it's raining, we pull the curtains and snuggle in there to watch a movie and drink hot cocoa," Wendi says. With all these comforts, no wonder staying home trumps a night out nearly every time.

Neiger leads lady Vikings to Truckee win
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE – If there was one girl Truckee shouldn't have fouled in the final 15 seconds of a one-point game, it was Hannah Neiger.
Expressions of relief and confidence spread across the Vikings' faces as Neiger, who is 11-for-11 in free throws in her last two games, stepped to the line.
"If anyone were to be in that position, I would want it to be Hannah because she always comes through," teammate Riley Chapman said.
Neiger didn't delay. She lined up and cleanly knocked down the two shots to carry the Vikings to a 41-40 win, ending Truckee's nine-game win streak at South Tahoe on Tuesday.
"It was kind of overwhelming, but I just trusted myself," Neiger said.
As soon as Neiger's last free throw fell, Truckee didn't hesitate. The Wolverines charged down court, with senior Jackie Bolton setting up for one last look.
Bolton launched Truckee's last chance, and for a second, the shot looked dead on. It was close indeed, but the ball bounced off the rim into the hands of Chapman.
The clock ticked in the Vikings' favor, and with it they earned home-court advantage over the Wolverines in the first round of the Northern Division I-A postseason on Wednesday.
"The girls have nothing to be ashamed of," Truckee coach Geoff Stephens said. "They played their hearts out and dug in. I couldn't be prouder."
And if Tuesday's game is any indicator, the playoff rematch should be good.
The girls played an evenly matched, clean game of ball.
South Tahoe grabbed an early lead. Four different Vikings scored in the opening five minutes to make it 8-3, but Truckee's perimeter sniper, Ashley Harris, put down two 3-pointers to keep the Wolverines alive. The score was tied 8-8 after the first quarter.
A 3-pointer from Truckee's Sydnie English set the tone for the second quarter, and the Wolverines took a 17-13 halftime lead. The Vikings scored just five points in that second quarter, with four coming from Neiger.
But South Tahoe's Mel Grady shifted the momentum back in Tahoe's favor in the second half.
Grady came off the bench and hit a huge 3-pointer, tying the game at 19-19. She added a 2-point parting shot with 10 seconds remaining to give the Vikings a 27-26 lead going into the fourth.
Both teams picked up the intensity in the fourth, swapping the lead four times in the final eight minutes.
Truckee regained the lead in the last minute when English grabbed Bolton's free-throw rebound and made it 40-39.
With 30 seconds left, though, Truckee sent the wrong player to the line for two.
"You've just got to play your game and do your job," South Tahoe coach Mike Neiger said. "There's going to be a lot of 3's they're going to miss and you've got to get in position to get the rebounds."
