Australian Quarantine Investigation Service
The National Gallery of Australia as a routine matter seeks the assistance of Australian Quarantine Investigation Service (AQIS) officers in examining works of art which come into Australia for temporary exhibitions. It is not unusual that from time to time, a dead insect or evidence of woodworm activity is found in frames. In such cases the insects are removed for examination by AQIS officers or the frames fumigated under their supervision. This is particularly the case with works of art of considerable age.
We look forward to the opening of the exhibition to the public on Thursday morning 28 March at 9.30am. The National Gallery believes that The Italians: Three Centuries of Italian Art will be a most exciting show for our many visitors.

Not as comfy as I was expecting
"Haven't worn these as much as I was planning to, due mostly to the stiffness of them. The sole/base of the shoe is comfortable and supportive, which I love, but the top below the lattice part digs into my foot when I walk. I have loosened the strap but that just makes my heel slip. I am hoping they will stretch out a bit with more wearing, because I do want to keep wearing them, they are cute!"

Emission Reductions:
NOx, SO2 and PM
Since 1990, our emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are down over 80 percent, while electricity generation has increased about 30 percent to serve growing demand. Performance »
Through 2015, the Southern Company system:
- Invested about $9.4 billion in environmental controls. We are planning to spend at least an additional $2.1 billion through 2018.
- Developed, with U.S. Department of Energy and KBR, the TRIGTM advanced coal gasification technology. This technology turns coal into gas that can be used to generate electricity more cleanly than traditional coal-fired power plants.
- Advanced one-of-a-kind, clean coal power generation, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy at the National Carbon Capture Center in Wilsonville, Ala.
Particulate Matter and Air Quality Research
Southern Company participates in data collection and research studies aimed at characterizing air quality, its sources, and health effects. Two leading studies, SEARCH and ARIES, have provided a foundation for air quality policy, practices and emerging issues.
SEARCH comprehensively measures air quality in the Southeast, including the myriad compounds comprising particulate matter and is used in a variety of air quality research and regulatory analyses, including studies on health effects. SEARCH hosted the summer of 2013, $20 million Southeast Atmosphere Study sponsored by NSF, NOAA, EPA, EPRI, and others focused on understanding the interactions of natural and man-made emissions in forming particulate organic matter. ARIES investigates associations between specific air pollution components and human health.

Molix Supernato
The Molix Supernato is a hybrid crankbait offering a whole new level of versatility. The idea was to have a crankbait that you can use inside heavy cover and thick vegetation as well as open water, and that also works at a variety of depths (depending on retrieve speed). Created with the best materials and assembled by hand, piece-by-piece by selected craftsmen, it is built with two different sections - one hard and one soft. Available in several colors, the Molix Superato was developed by Molix, an cutting-edge lure company from Italy, which boasts a pro staff including the likes of Bassmaster Elite Series veterans, Michael Iaconelli and Randy Howell.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I'm not upset about it filling with water. I'm upset about the poor hook sets. I had fish run with it, just spit the bait back at me. I like the idea of this bait, but I have no confidence in being able to land the big one. I tried different rods and still can't set the hook.
From: Tommie: Lafayette, LA 9/17/16
Comments: Hard to believe people are upset about it filling with water when you are supposed to fill up with water yourself first for it to work properly! Talk about not reading the directions! This is more of a really slow presentation shallow crank to be used in conjunction with a dying-fish jerkbait sort of pause, jerk, jerk, pause, jerk, retrieve action mixed in, not a traditional crank bait in the least! I think it's a great product, as I fish a ton in really heavy cover and appreciate the ability to add in another look to my topwater/heavy cover game. Very cool product and very well made IMO but you need to know how to work it properly- tying it on and cranking will leave you immensely dissatisfied.
From: Matt: Western, MA 3/24/14
Comments: Molix Supernato. This is the one of the best frogs I have used. Fill it with water to get an action at about 5 feet down. I took it out to a local pond basin to test it's durability. Not a single scratch. Run it over rocks, trees, and sand. No Problem. Work it as a square billed crank bait. The top water action only works if you fish it very slow. Five Stars.
From: Jack: MN, USA
Comments: I think you guys are using it wrong! Watch this video and adjust
Comments: Great bait! Hook sets just great! Anyone having trouble setting the hook, should use a lake fork frog trailer hook, or learn how to fish a frog! Personally I can't wait for the smaller model to come out!
From: Jerry: Blue Island, IL
Comments: this thing is awesome. of course it fills with water after a few casts if it didn't how would it collapse for a hookset. some of you can't seem to comprehend this concept. works great. does exactly what it is supposed to do.
From: Rob: Miffco
Comments: The guys at molix at iCast told me you actually fill this bit up with water then use it. Seriously.
From: Trey: NoAL
Comments: they took this concept from the mans weasel.... not impressed at all. it just fills up with water and cant get a good hookset no matter how i try. its a cool concept but a garbage bait. i havent been impressed with molix baits at all yet.
Comments: man I was pumped when I found this bait, I thought to myself its about time someone made a weedless cranl so i picked one up last year used it a few times in different conditions and didnt catch a thing, the action is good the first 2-3 casts then it fills with water. the rubber body is a harder plastic then I thought it would be (not happy about that) . over all not a good bait, save the cash, maybe they will fix this thing up so it workbetter. glad I tryed one before I bought the 3 that iI wanted.
From: Dirtybird: Toronto
Comments: not the magic bait i thought it would be... j/k j/k. but im really not impressed at all. i bought it to fish around shallow weed beds but after a couple of cast it just fills up with water and loses its action, also when it fill with water its not just a couple squeezes to get the water out, its to much work to fish it effectively.
Comments: Bot the Tiger Ardente. This lure is so versatile and has crazy swimming action!
From: Sonny: East Wareham, MA
Comments: Definitely not as weedless as i though it would be. if you wanna crank use a crankbait, if you want a wake bait use a wake bait. i would rather use a lure that does one thing good rather than one that can do a couple things mediocre. it is a good subsurface crankbait in open water or above weedbeds, although so is a lipless crankbait. i like them but not worth $16, maybe half that.
From: Jim: Toledo Bend, LA
Comments: I had been looking at this bait when it first came out. Finally bought one to try out. When I took the bait out of the package I saw one of the eyes were glued half on. Had to to re-glue it back on properly. The other eye had a small gap in it also like it's ready to fall off after a fight or two. Maybe I got a bad one but not what I expected from a $16 bait either. Lastly, this bait is not weedless!!!! You will hang up just like any other crankbait from the bill. After more casts, the bait started filling up with water. Had to drain water out after every 7 to 8 casts. In my opinion, not worth $16. Glad I didn't buy more than 1.
From: Paul: Akron, OH
Comments: I'm Italian, and i used this lure for 3 months, in heavy cover with Power Tackle frog rod and 50 lbs Sufix braid. Works as a cranck but with the features of a frog. Good lures.
From: Diego: Italy

Skip to comments.Study Finds Sea Level Rise was 60 Percent Higher Than UN Projection
Posted on 11/28/2012 4:10:39 PM PST by NormsRevenge
According to NBC News, a newly released peer-reviewed study has concluded that sea levels between 1993 and 2011 rose by 3.2 millimeters per year. This number is nearly 60 percent more than the 2-millimeter annual projection made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change over the same time period. The disparity between the two numbers raises a point that the projections for the upcoming decades could also be too low and that sea level could rise much more than current estimates predict.
Here are some facts and details about the new study and what it could mean for upcoming climate reports:
* The new study entitled "Comparing climate projections to observations up to 2011" was a collaboration between three researchers: Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, Grant Foster of the consulting firm Tempo Analytics in Maine, and Anny Cazenave of the Laboratory of Geophysics and Spatial Oceanography Studies in France
* The study entitled has been published in the scientific journal Environmental Research Letters and was presented at U.N. climate change conference in Qatar, which will run until Dec. 7, noted Reuters.
* The IPCC's most recent report was issued in 2007 and projected that sea level could rise between 18 and 59 centimeters this century, but Rahmstorf, lead author of the new study, estimates that sea level rise would be between 50 centimeters to a meter.
* The Huffington Post reports that the new study had five more years of data and utilized satellite technology, which offers a broader picture than tide gauges. Additionally, it analyzed the relationship between sea level and temperature, which is a more sophisticated analysis method.

OMG The beach will be gone!
No need for Beach vacation this coming summer!!!!!
There are 25.4 mm in one inch.
The un is run by criminal enemies of the USA and our government wants to give them control of this country...they should all be prosecuted.
They have never explained where all the water would come from to raise the sea levels this much.
Where's Noah when you need him?
By the nature of what our decrepit little beach house sits on (SAND)....I'd say the oceans rise and fall ALL the time..sheesh...these people are idiots.
Oh, they've got federally funded explanations.
Its gay issues, gender issues, racial issues, environmental issues, social and economic justice issues and NOTHING else.
Regarding the dissemination of information they attempt NOTHING else.
So THAT'S where all the rain went.
Maybe we should stop pumping money into global warming pseudoscience and work on efficient desalinization and irrigation techniques instead. Or hasn't Al Gore made enough off this scam yet?
I am more amazed every day by the fact the US news media now exists for no other reason than to promote leftwing causes.
It matches the bulk of educators in many of our "finest' institutions of hugher indoctrination uhhh higher edukation, yaknow.
Coincidence or is global varming frying liberals brain cells?
I need to do a study,, got dough?
...the 47-percenters only see news clips in light of percentages.... remember this is a 60 percent variance....... Think about this in terms of distance between your finger and the spinning blade of a table saw...
It was warmer 9,000 years ago and the seas were about 20 to 30 feet higher than today. When the next ice goes into full effect (should start any time now) the seas will drop down to 460 to 500 feet, at the edge of the continental shelf, like it has done in the past.
There is no such thing as Y2K or Glowbull Warming! this is all a bunch of Beeee-Esssss Hooey It is as big a hoax as Glowbull Cooling was in the 1970s! I don't know ANYONE who voted for Obama, and I don't know anyone who believes in Glowbull Warming, and I am in Los Angeles county!
I thought Obama said something to the effect that the rise of the oceans would begin to slow under his leadership?
Another failed campaign promise!
People are getting taller.
They have never explained where all the water would come from to raise the sea levels this much.
And, why is it that the tide line on all the tourist beaches is exactly the same as it was in the 1920s? (Look at the photos in the hotel bars.)
Maybe the earth is shrinking.
"OMG The beach will be gone!
No need for Beach vacation this coming summer!"
I have spent the last four years living on a beach, with my front door being about 100 ft from high tide.
I guess if I live another 200 years I may notice a problem.
Has anyone noticed what the sun has been doing this year?
Suggest everyone on FR check "Watts up with that" web site weekly to keep up with the real status of "Climate Change"
Don't post the TRUTH, Liberals can't take that!
3.2 mill = 1/8 inch....just to give you an idea how stupid they are
I( read 34 books that deal with Glowbull Warming and I am totally convinced that it is just a Great Big Hoax
Does this mean we can raise the Mississipi up a bit?
AS it has done in the pat. Watch your gammar young man!
We should mine the sea floor to make room for the excess water.
LOL. Pat?
Drill a BIG hole and drain some of it to the center of the Earth. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?;)
The oceans didn't rise.
The land beneath subsided.
The earth is shrinking! Oh, NO! We're all gonna DIE!
And THAT is the level of intellectual curiosity the "global climate change" alarmists are operating at.
Be more afraid of the apocalypse that is predicted for December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan calendar.
The poles will reverse, gravity will disappear, and we will all be flung off into space.
Who took the measurements. AL GORE. Hint to the writer of this article. Quoting PUFFINGTON HOST and the IPCC regarding anything to do with the CLIMATE CHANGE SCAM will not go very far unless it is read by DIMWITS.
I'm not worried, I'm sittin here in my Den wearing my life jacket. :)
I'll hold on to the earth ground outside my condo to keep from being flung off the earth from the centripetal force. That's safe and logical, right?
If all this rising of water level is going on, why are the Great Lakes dropping so much. You'd think they'd benefit from a bit of the run off from the Arctic ice. What a huge crock of horse ice.
Evidence of rising oceans not visible from sea level. Requires satellites and fancy formulas to create proof.
Put a paper bag over your head, lie on the floor, and chant "42".....
Most of the glaciers in the world are growing and the ice in the Antarctic is way up.
They gave it away too quickly. Whenever they use the expression "peer reviewed" anymore, it is a major red flag that it is a totally bogus fabrication.
"Peer review" died an ignoble death in MMGW when it turned out that the "peer reviews" being used in many reports were "incestuous".
This means if say, there are six insiders, three of them will write a paper, with one of the three as the "lead researcher". Then the other three do the "peer review" and give it an 'A++' grade. Then they rotate.
One of the "peer reviewers" from the last paper becomes the "lead researcher" in the next paper, etc.
These "mutual admiration societies" can crank out huge numbers of bogus papers that all agree with and support each other. And by publishing so much, it appears that they are "top researchers" in their field.
It took a long time for this Lysenkoism to be unmasked, but now that it has, their technique has been compromised, though they are even too dumb to stop using it.
Lies brought to you by the very same people that appointed Libya and China to the Human Rights Commission.
And are we to believe our lying eyes and common sense or the sainted global warming priests of pseudo-science?
Of course, the sad fact is, these are not scientific studies, not just because they aren't intended to be — they are also unverified claims; and in the past, each time the global warming demagogues have made a claim, real scientists have studied whatever it was, and found it to be false. The "oceans warming at depth" (something physically impossible anyway, short of a volcano on the ocean floor; ocean waters get colder and carry more non-water molecules with depth) lie which was done to cover up the fact that there had been no change in the normal natural fluctuation of the climate (the lie was, the excess heat was being stored in the depths and would eventually emerge and bite us in the ass) was studied, even though impossible, and was found to be a lie — and yet, it reemerged in the past year or so, because the so-called journalists don't do their job. That latter fact is in part due to the fact that so many of them are pushing an agenda.
Thanks ApplegateRanch.
The new methods involve filtering out noise from the data produced by the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) spacecraft, sent into orbit with the aim of finding out just how much ice is melting from the world's ice sheets and glaciers. Such water then runs off into the sea, providing one of the main potential drivers of sea level rise - which is itself perhaps the main reason to worry about climate change.
"GRACE data contain a lot of signals and a lot of noise. Our technique learns enough about the noise to effectively recover the signal, and at much finer spatial scales than was possible before," explains professor Frederik Simons of Princeton uni. "We can 'see through' the noise and recover the 'true' geophysical information contained in these data. We can now revisit GRACE data related to areas such as river basins and irrigation and soil moisture, not just ice sheets."
Simons and his colleague Christopher Harig tried their new methods out on GRACE data covering the Greenland ice sheet, which is of particular interest as the rest of the Arctic ice cap floats on the sea and so cannot contribute directly to sea level rise by melting. Meanwhile the Antarctic ice cap is actually getting bigger, so Greenland is probably the major worry.
According to a Princeton statement highlighting the new research:
While overall ice loss on Greenland consistently increased between 2003 and 2010, Harig and Simons found that it was in fact very patchy from region to region.
In addition, the enhanced detail of where and how much ice melted allowed the researchers to estimate that the annual acceleration in ice loss is much lower than previous research has suggested, roughly increasing by 8 billion tons every year. Previous estimates were as high as 30 billion tons more per year.
The rate of loss of ice from Greenland is estimated at 199.72 plus-or-minus 6.28 gigatonnes per year. So the possible acceleration of losses is only barely larger than the margin of error in the readings: it's very difficult to tell the supposed loss curve from a straight line.
In other words the possible acceleration in ice losses is barely perceptible: it may not really be happening at all. Similar results were seen not long ago in GRACE data for central Asian mountain glaciers, another suggested source for sea-level rises. If the Greenland ice losses aren't accelerating, there's no real reason to worry about them. According to the Princeton statement: At current melt rates, the Greenland ice sheet would take about 13,000 years to melt completely, which would result in a global sea-level rise of more than 21 feet (6.5 meters). Put another way, in that scenario we would be looking at 5cm of sea level rise from Greenland by the year 2130: a paltry amount. Authoritative recent research drawing together all possible causes of sea level rise bears this out, suggesting maximum possible rise in the worst case by 2100 will be 30cm. More probably it will be less, and there will hardly be any difference between the 20th and 21st centuries in sea level terms.
The new GRACE research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Details of the computer code can be found here.
New York had a sheet of ice over it a mile thick during the last ice age, and the Sahara Desert was once ocean bottom. We were touring Sequoia National Park recently and that was also once ocean bottom, they told us there. I think the earth is a dynamic creation that is ever changing, earthquakes, volcanoes, storms... this is the way it was meant to be. We can no more change or alter the climate than we can wish ourselves taller!
I was thinking the other day about fountains and swimming pools, that get drained after anyone drowns in them. People drown in the ocean, and also people are killed by sharks, so shouldn't we just Drain the Ocean already LOL
Hee hee I love that comment!
If it is rising I suspect it's not water flowing in thats doing it but what the water brings with it. The Mississippi alone dumps an average of 159 million tons of sediment a year into the ocean, add all the other rivers across the world plus streams and erosion and thats going to displace alot of water. I know the same effect plays hell on my stock ponds and I have to dredge them out every so often.

Northwest Division Preview: Vancouver Canucks Part I
Jonathan Willis
September 06 2008 11:25AM
The OilersNation Research Department™ has been hard at work getting ready for the new season. As 2008-2009 draws upon us, we have made unreasonable demands on Professor Jonathan Willis and Dr Wanye Gretz. "Hey Jerkwads," we said "We want a Northwest Division Preview, and we want it stat. And we want it to be thorough, and we want it now." We present to you today the first of our Northwest Division Preview. We'll be posting two parts for each team every weekend in the lead-up to the season. Enjoy! —DJ Spyn Cycle
Willis The Vancouver Canucks have taken significant steps back since the firing of Dave Nonis and now appear unlikely to sign former Maple Leafs' captain Mats Sundin. In all likelihood, a lack of firepower up front will mean that Roberto Luongo is counted on too much, and that the team will miss the playoffs for a second straight year.
Wanye Hiring Mike Gillis—a man who once denied the Mighty Oil the right to overpay Nylander for a 17-year deal—can only be described as short-sighted. Watching Steve Tambellini depart for the Oilers can only be considered salt in the wound. Waiting for Mats Sundin to decide if it's worth his time to come to Lotus Land to make $10 million a year—with no playoff games guaranteed!—is depressing. Oh and there's the rain.
What a time to be in VanCity.
Off-season changes
In: F – Pavol Demitra, F – Steve Bernier, F – Kyle Wellwood, F – Darcy Hordichuk, F – Ryan Johnson, F – Jason Krog, D – Rob Davison, D – Nolan Baumgartner, GM – Mike Gillis
Out: F – Markus Naslund, F – Brendan Morrison, F – Trevor Linden, F – Brad Isbister, F – Byron Ritchie, F – Greg Classen, F – Brad Moran, D – Aaron Miller, D – Mike Weaver, GM – Dave Nonis
Front Office
Player agent Mike Gillis was hired to replace Dave Nonis as General Manager in the off-season. Gillis was harshly critical of the team that Dave Nonis left him, and promised radical changes to both the team and the mindset in the front office. He's done both in his short tenure, although whether the changes are an improvement remains debatable. In addition to axing Alain Vigneault's assistant coaches and watching Steve Tambellini leave to a division rival, Gillis has brought in a capologist from Phoenix and ex-player Scott Mellanby as a right-hand man. He's also taken some knocks from rival GMs; first, Minnesota asked the league to look into tampering after reports that Pavol Demitra (who later joined the team) was being given a guided tour of Vancouver while still under contract to Minnesota. Later, Gillis launched an offer sheet at Blues forward David Backes. St Louis not only matched, but retaliated by making the same RFA offer to recently acquired Canucks forward Steve Bernier.
Alain Vigneault returns with a new extension through 2009–10. Gillis blamed Nonis and had kind words for the coaching staff after taking charge of the team, and has also involved Vigneault in off-season planning. Even so, Vigneault's on a short leash. A capable coach with one Jack Adams trophy, Vigneault's teams in Vancouver and Montreal have played a defence-first style.
Five forwards in, five forwards out. Did the Canucks upgrade? Probably not.
Here's who they have, as well as departed players, ranked by quality of competition. Note that bolded players are additions to the team, while italicized players are those who've left in the off-season (it's important to note that for new players the quality of competition placement may not be exact). Minimum ten games played (all numbers taken from Behindthenet.ca)
Ryan Kesler: 1.39 PTS/60, 2.08 GFON/60, 2.08 GAON/60
Alex Burrows: 1.51 PTS/60, 2.20 GFON/60, 1.82 GAON/60
Brad Isbister: 1.08 PTS/60, 1.51 GFON/60, 1.94 GAON/60
Taylor Pyatt: 1.84 PTS/60, 2.69 GFON/60, 1.90 GAON/60
Matt Pettinger: 0.73 PTS/60, 1.61 GFON/60, 2.33 GAON/60
Steve Bernier: 1.66 PTS/60, 2.45 GFON/60, 2.38 GAON/60
Henrik Sedin: 2.16 PTS/60, 2.80 GFON/60, 2.53 GAON/60
Daniel Sedin: 2.09 PTS/60, 2.52 GFON/60, 2.25 GAON/60
Ryan Johnson: 0.97 PTS/60, 1.56 GFON/60, 1.94 GAON/60
Pavol Demitra: 2.34 PTS/60, 3.32 GFON/60, 2.54 GAON/60
Markus Naslund: 1.79 PTS/60, 2.62 GFON/60, 2.62 GAON/60
Byron Ritchie: 0.76 PTS/60, 1.33 GFON/60, 2.37 GAON/60
Brendan Morrison: 1.62 PTS/60, 2.21 GFON/60, 2.21 GAON/60
Kyle Wellwood: 0.97 PTS/60, 1.62 GFON/60, 2.59 GAON/60
Trevor Linden: 1.14 PTS/60, 1.82 GFON/60, 1.82 GAON/60
Ryan Shannon: 1.48 PTS/60, 2.22 GFON/60, 2.71 GAON/60
Jeff Cowan: 0.16 PTS/60, 0.80 GFON/60, 1.59 GAON/60
Rick Rypien: 0.77 PTS/60, 0.77 GFON/60, 3.08 GAON/60
Mason Raymond: 1.91 PTS/60, 2.42 GFON/60, 1.91 GAON/60
Mike Brown: 0.51 PTS/60, 1.02 GFON/60, 2.05 GAON/60
Jason Jaffray: 1.57 PTS/60, 1.88 GFON/60, 0.63 GAON/60
Darcy Hordichuk: 0.78 PTS/60, 1.30 GFON/60, 1.56 GAON/60
PTS/60 – average number of points recorded for every 60 minutes of even-strength ice-time.
GFON/60 – average number of goals scored for every 60 minutes that the player is on the ice.
GAON/60 – average number of goals scored against for every 60 minutes that the player is on the ice.
It seems plain that Vancouver needs to send out their first line and the Ryan Kesler line out against opponents of any quality; the 2nd and 4th lines are simply going to get killed otherwise. I imagine that Vigneault will use his players as follows:
Sedin – Sedin – Bernier Raymond – Wellwood - Demitra Burrows – Kesler – Pyatt Pettinger – Johnson - Hansen
Willis I've been a fan of the Sedins as players for a long time; they do a good job keeping the puck in the right end of the rink, and I suspect that Steve Bernier will put up the best numbers of his young career playing with them. Bernier also has some experience playing tougher competition and should fit better on the top line than either Pyatt or Naslund. Also on the plus side, the Kesler line features three players who excel in a checking role, and will help the Canucks to neutralize first-line opponents.
Wanye I haven't been a fan of the Sedins... well, ever. Something about their matching little faces, near identical career point totals, and the fact that they continue to assert that "they don't even hang out off the ice." Why would you? You have been playing on the same team since you were four years old or something. Ew, Sedin Twins.
Willis The biggest weakness on the team is the second line, particularly at centre. While Kyle Wellwood is a low-cost risk, there's no reason to believe that he can effectively anchor a decent second line. Mason Raymond looks like he could be a player, but the soon-to-be 23-year-old hasn't yet gone through an entire NHL season and at this point probably needs some decent linemates to help keep his head above water. Pavol Demitra looks at first brush like an upgrade over Markus Naslund, but will be hard pressed to keep the second line afloat by himself.
Like Colorado, Vancouver lacks depth up front, and the Sedin twins are going to have to carry too much of the offence yet again, because the third line won't be able to chip in much and the second line has about a 90 per cent of sputtering offensively. If Pavol Demitra—who's missed an average of 16 games a season since the lockout—gets hurt, the situation looks even worse.
Next time: Canucks Defence, Goaltending, Special Teams and Overall Outlook.

The most interesting part in watching the Canucks early will be seeing what style they come out and play.
There is a recent Gillis comment that hit the wire where he was talking about Demitra returning to a PPG player with the reason being that he had been stuck in a defensive system.
It made me wonder if Gillis was;
a) aware of what style his team played b) aware of what coach he had behind the bench c) aware that his teams offense has likely regressed (certainly hasn't got better)which will make a more offensive system difficult to succeed with or; d) planning to completely shift the style of play the Canucks will use this year regardless of his roster make up.
I know he mentioned changing styles when he was first hired but he also mentioned that the Canucks would not go for any quick fixes, which he promptly followed up with the crazy 20 mil offer to Sundin.
Maybe the guy would have been better off going into politics where saying one thing and doing the opposite is quickly forgotten, he certainly seems confused or over his head as a GM.
Remember a few years ago in the Crawford, bertuzzi, nasland era, when this team was supposed to compete for the cup!!!! hahaha, I glad thats over. I'm glad they hired Gillis cuz so far, so far he seems to be brian burke smart!!!!! Oh wait, was that tampering.
Q: what will they call playoff hockey in Vancouver this year?
A: A flight to EDMONTON!!!!!
September 06 2008, 01:30PM
I am going to say within a week Bernier gets demoted to the 2nd line and Demitra finds playing time on the 1st line.
September 06 2008, 09:58PM
Ryan Shannon is no longer with the team. He was traded to the Ottawa Senators for defenseman Lawrence Nicholat.
September 07 2008, 12:25AM
Might as well start with the bottom, eh boys?
Milli I am TOTALLY stealing that joke... "a flight to Edmonton"....HA!
Colorado lacks depth up front?
September 07 2008, 04:10PM
Obviously they are planning to win a lot of 2-1, 1-0 games on the back of Luongo.
Glad I'm not shelling out any ducats to watch this team...zzzzzz
Am interested to see what you say about their defense.
September 08 2008, 06:57AM
Ryan Shannon is no longer with the team. He was traded to the Ottawa Senators for defenseman Lawrence Nicholat.
Yep. This has been canned for a little bit.
Colorado lacks depth up front
Wait until next week, but yes. Lots of good talent in the top two lines, but with Svatos/Smyth/Hejduk all having injury concerns, they have surprisingly little depth if someone goes down.
This team is vaguely reminiscent of those Oiler clubs of the Marchant-Grier-Moreau era. The Oil had that outstanding checking line, a pretty darn good first line in Weight-Guerin-Smyth, and then out would come the Black Hole of Calcutta Line. Usually some combination like Yoyo Beranek with Alex "Lost in Space" Selivanov and Fat Balloon. And we'd be dead, right there. Maybe we'd slip into the playoffs but a good team like, say, Dallas with a smart coach like, say, Ken Hitchcock would exploit those "soft minutes" to the hilt. And that would be that.
Which is a terrible waste of a good checking line. Make no mistake, Vancouver has got one of those. Looking at the projected combo above, Kesler, Burrows and Pyatt were 1-2-4 in QualComp last season (the departed Invisibister was #3). Burrows and Kesler both ranked among the top ten in the NHL Penalties Drawn, with both drawing about 2 penalties for each one taken (Burrows +20, Kesler +17). Burrows is a miserable little shit but, but looking at numbers like a team-leading +11 with a QualComp of +0.07 and a QualTeam of -0.15, you have to give the guy credit (however grudgingly).
Kesler and Burrows are almost certain to play together, but Vigneault has a few choices for RW. The above suggestion of Pyatt seems a natural fit -- if Vigneault sees fit to demote him from the Sedin line -- and if so adds another plus player with some scoring touch. The three guys combined for a respectable 49 goals last year.
Another option might be to put Demitra up with Kesler-Burrows as a more legitimate "second" line. One that could take on the real tough minutes and hold their own or probably outscore. Whereas any "second" line featuring Kyle Wellwood is not bloody likely to do either.

That brought back a flood of painful memories. Thanks, Bruce.
Oh, and obviously I'm completely in agreement with your point.

Jim Weill, president of the Food Research and Action Center, a national hunger-fighting group, said the numbers are proof that it has become harder to make ends meet - even when you have a job.
"There are too few jobs, and jobs frequently are paying wages that aren't enough to lift families above the poverty line, and that shows up in the food insecurity numbers," Weill explained. "Appalling numbers of Americans report struggling to buy enough food to last the entire month."
About 5 percent of households have what is known as "very low food security," meaning they miss meals because of a lack of food. The USDA says that figure also has not changed since 2008. The agency surveyed almost 44,000 households for this report.
When members of Congress get back to work after the August recess, one item on their plates will be how much of the federal budget to allocate for food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The U.S. Senate has approved cutting it by about $4 billion over 10 years, and Republicans in the House have suggested trimming up to 10 times that much.
Weill believes it would be better to improve the program than to cut it.
"Half of all American children, and half of all adults during their working years, receive food stamps at some point," he said. "That's not because people aren't trying to work hard and doing their best, but because the economy has created so much unemployment and low wages, and economic insecurity."
Critics of the food stamp program have said the nation cannot afford it, and they also want to see more restrictions on what people are allowed to buy. Weill said, for most families, SNAP participation is temporary, adding that research has shown it works to improve people's chances of success at work and school.

- About the brand
Developed by the beauty experts at Braun, this next-generation epilator gives you efficient epilation. A series of small tweezers rotate and grab onto your hair, removing it quickly and efficiently. Your skin will look and feel smooth for up to four weeks.
Model#: SE5180 / SKU: 000454
Before using, soften skin by bathing and dry your skin thoroughly. Avoid lotion of any sort because it will make your hair slippery and difficult for the epilator to catch. Rub your hair in the opposite direction of growth in order to make the hairs stand up, and test out the epilator on a piece of skin before you begin in order to get used to the sensation. When you're ready (remember: no pain, no gain!) place the epilator against your skin and move it in the opposite direction of hair growth (like shaving). The slower you go, the more hair the epilator will be able to remove. After one or a few strokes, you'll be hair-free for weeks to come.
Braun exceeds expectations from shaving to styling, winning a Red Dot Design Award and Men's Health Grooming Award for hair removal appliances. Our Braun selection includes shavers, epilators and trimmers guaranteed to please.
Dream Come True!!!!This product is awesome! Ive only used it for a week and except for the Emoji Tweeze, i havent used any other epilators, but its great! It removes hair and whereas with waxing (proffessional waxing) it took only days for hair in some areas to grow back, with this, my skin is still silky smooth...and of course when hair does show up, i can easily remove it again, not pay $100 to have it waxed again. Dont kid yourself, it does hurt...if you are looking for an epilator that actually pulls out your hair, it WILL hurt!!!Nature of the beast Im afraid. The great thing though (and it hurts BAD the first time) the more you use it the less it hurts, because your hair follicles get accustomed to it. I recommend starting with the starter head, it has less tweezers...I know tough for the impatient, but it gets your skin used to the tweexing so that you can switch to the regular head and it will be bearable to use.This thing does pinch if the skin is not tight enough. one of the areas on my thigh where the skin was very thin got pinched...just be careful and keep the skin tight. DO NOT use it on the extremely delicate areas down there, this thing is too strong! If you want to do a home made brazillian...trim..carefully...and then use an Emoji Tweeze...much safer! for everything else, this product is a dream come true!May 7, 2008Lina

Best Way To Remove HairIve tried a few methods: shaving (only lasted 3 days for me), waxing (messy & always painful), depilating (stinky! & paranoia about getting chemicals all over the bathroom), individual tweezing(who has the time?). Using this epilator has been the best by far. I read that waxing your hair before using it for the first time saves you some pain, but I was so excited to try it that I just went for it. The first time did hurt badly because I was using Veet before this, so my roots were pretty established and strong. Its definitely not the most painful thing youll ever experience in your life, and after the first few times it will barely bother you. The results are well worth it! Once you get used to the pulling/tweezing, the little massaging rollers really make it more comfortable and nice to use. Its also very noisy, but I dont think quiet epilators exist.Mar 29, 2008Mandy

Work Great But Ouch!I have always wanted one of these and maybe I just needed to be more patient so that the pain lessens. I have a quarter of my body tattooed and let me tell you...give me the tattoo pain anyday compared to this! OUCH! It works great but I wills tick to shaving:)Mar 13, 2008Darlene Betz / Littlestown, PA

Nice Product, But Rough!this product works good and it gets all of the little baby hairs and impossibly short hairs that waxing misses. But, if you are going to use this, I definitely recommend waxing first. Then, when your hair starts growing back little by little, start using this product. then it wont be as painful. do not try to use this on a full amount of hair regrowth!My only complaint is I used it for the first time 3 weeks ago and now that those hairs are starting to grow back and they dont all break through the skin when they grow back now. its weird and it looks like stubble. What good is it to be hair free if you have something that looks like stubble all over your legs? lol. so Im trying to exfoliate to alleviate that problem. but its hard to do too much of that without making my legs look all red and irritated. I may go back to shaving for the summer and keep this around for the winter.Mar 5, 2008Shelby

This Thing BitesDo yourself a favor ladies. Stay away from this thing.I wanted to use it to keep my bikini line smooth and clean.I would have been better off blasting..less pain I can assure you. It may be a bit more of a hassel to shaver but its a lot safer and a lot less painful.My God, what were they thinking when they come up with this thing. Would have been great for the Inquisition.KMFeb 4, 2008K Marino

Excellent First Time EpilatorI had been thinking about buying an epilator for a while, ever since my European boyfriend told me about them. Apparently they are very popular over there. I had never used one before, but Id become tired of shaving my legs all the time and having coarse stubble. I did some research and I waxed my legs before I tried the epilator. I really like the look and feel of this silk-epil. It is quite ergonomic and the light does come in handy. I think its a great value for the price, and it includes the other heads and a little bag to keep it all together. I did try my bikini area, but it really did hurt so Im thinking about buying some lidocaine spray. I get bikini waxes regularly, but since this isnt as quick as waxing, I hesitated. Also a bit scared to try on my underarms, but eventually I want to get to the point where I never shave again. I love this!Jan 25, 2008Anonymous / Philadelphia

Hair Not There AnymoreI purchased this epilator a few days age through the internet. I am a guy who likes to have bare armpits and bare "down there" completely. I have been shaving for the past 2 years both areas. I was thinking of waxing but was not comfortable about someone in my groin area. I have plucked all of the hairs out at various time throughout the years. I used this in my entire groin except on my testies which I will continue to shave. There was some discomfort but no hair. I looked like a plucked chicken for a couple of days which is slowly going away. I did my arm pits and my groin was more uncomfortable I think.

Good But Don't Be FooledIve always preferred epilators to shaving or waxing and Braun is the best brand that Ive used. I would completely recommend this product.However, dont be fooled by the description - the kit does not include the narrow epilation head, facial set, or easy starter set as was originally listed. The Q&A is deceptive since there is a reply by "customer service" that says they are all included. The individual below that countered the response by customer service is correct.Jan 11, 2008Melissa

Find the safest and most cost-effective drugs for this condition.
Although most episodes of new back pain, as well as exacerbations of chronic back pain, clear up or return to a previous level of discomfort, a medical history and a brief physical examination is always necessary. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, how long they have been present, and any associated medical problems, history and physical exam alone may or may not be sufficient.
The patient should be able to describe the back pain and its history in the following manner:
A patient should report any serious health problems, symptoms, and concerns that may raise a red flag for a more serious condition. These include:
The main goal of a physical exam is to try and determine the source of the pain and the limits of movement.
Imaging tests used to evaluate back pain range from a simple x-ray to a CT scan or MRI of the spine. Depending on medical diagnoses that are identified by the history, the patient may need such tests as a Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan for osteoporosis or a nuclear scan for suspected arthritis, cancer, or infection.
Because most patients with back pain are on the mend or completely recovered within 6 weeks, imaging techniques such as x-rays or scans are rarely recommended in the first month unless the health care provider suspects a tumor, fracture, infection, cauda equina syndrome, or progressive neurological disease.
Even when symptoms last longer, unless a potentially serious diagnosis is suspected, MRI or CT scans can often be delayed until the time when surgery or epidural steroid injections come into consideration as treatment options.
X-Rays. Many patients with acute and uncomplicated low back pain believe that plain x-rays of the spinal column are important in a diagnosis. However, they are not very helpful in most patients with nonspecific back pain.
Patients who have the following symptoms or experience certain events may need more sophisticated imaging studies:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide very well-defined images of soft tissue and bone. The test is not painful or dangerous, but some people may feel claustrophobic in scanners where they are fully enclosed. MRIs can detect tears in the disks, disk herniation, or disk fragments. It can also detect spinal stenosis. and non-spinal causes of back pain, including infection and cancer.
MRI scans often detect spine abnormalities that are not causing symptoms in the patient. At least 40% of all adults have bulging or protruding vertebral disks, and most have no back pain. Also, the degree of disk abnormalities revealed by MRIs often has very little to do with the severity of the pain or the need for surgery. Disk abnormalities in people who have back pain may simply be a coincidence rather than an indication for treatment.
Patients are also more likely to think of themselves as having a serious back problem if abnormalities are identified on MRI scans, even if the scans do not result in treatment changes. This perception may sometimes slow down their recovery.
Bone Scintigraphy and SPECT Imaging. In rare cases, doctors may use bone scintigraphy (bone scanning) to determine abnormalities in the bones. The technique may be useful for early detection of spinal fractures, cancer that has spread to the bone, or certain inflammatory arthritic conditions. During this exam, a small amount of radioactive material is injected into a vein. It circulates through the body, and is absorbed by the bones. The bones can then be seen using x-rays or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
An x-ray myelogram is an x-ray of the spine that requires a spinal injection of a special dye and the need to lie still for several hours to avoid a very painful headache. It has value only for select patients with pain on moving and standing. It has largely been replaced by CT and MRI scans.
Tests that analyze the electric waveforms of nerves and muscles may be useful for detecting nerve abnormalities that may be causing back pain, and identifying possible injuries. They are also useful to determine if any abnormal structural findings on an MRI or other imaging tests have real significance as a cause of back pain. It should be noted that any nerve injuries that affect these tests may not be present for 2 - 4 weeks after symptoms begin.
Nerve conduction studies and electromyography are the electrodiagnostic tests most commonly performed. These tests are not used often in the evaluation and management of patients with low back pain.
Diskography: Since many people have evidence of disk degeneration on their MRI scans, it is not always easy to tell if the finding on this MRI scan explains pain the patient may be experiencing. Diskography is a test that is used to help determine whether an abnormal disk seen on MRI explains someone's pain. When performed, it is generally reserved for patients who did not experience relief from other therapies, including surgery. This procedure requires injections into disks suspected of being the source of pain and disks nearby. It can be painful. There is controversy among physicians who take care of the spine regarding the usefulness of diskography for making decisions about care, particularly surgery
Blood and urine samples may be used to test for infections, arthritis, or other conditions.
Injecting a drug that blocks pain into the nerves in the back helps locate the level in the spine where problems occur.
A procedure called a facet block is also useful in locating areas of specific damage.

Nothing says New Year's Eve like a glass of bubbly in one hand and a glam clutch in the other. The New York Times knows it, and gives a shout-out to that all-important style staple: the embellished, metallic, or glossy clutch that endures season after season, soiree after soiree. This year I'll be taking the understated route with my New Year's Eve ensemble (draped silk top, dark denim, suede pumps with a hint of shine), so a glittery little handful will be an easy way to add a dash of glam.
The Times spotlights Anya Hindmarch's Disco Clutch, a high-shine number in mirrored leather, as one of "the season's loveliest." Lauren Merkin is a go-to label for eye-catching evening clutches, and the Louise Metallic Zebra Clutch and the Char Patent Clutch don't disappoint. Kooba wins points for an oversized clutch that can be converted into a shoulder bag by day, and Felix Rey's Mesi Clutch makes metal mesh really pop with flashes of teal and fuchsia. And Tory Burch's Art Deco-inflected Mandy Clutch does wonders to enliven a minimalist shift.

TORONTO -- The fate of the Toronto Marlies in the second round of the American Hockey League playoffs could come down to the continued offensive success of two penalty killers and a rookie centre.
Head coach Dallas Eakins put Greg Scott and Jerry D'Amigo on a line with first-year player Greg McKegg in the Marlies' opening round series against the Rochester Americans.
All the trio did was put up eight goals and six assists in a three-game sweep, and Eakins is looking for more of the same when Toronto kicks off the second round of the playoffs at home against the Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday night.
"I hope we can rely on all of our lines," said Eakins. "We'd like more scoring out of everyone, but that's a line that we'll start with."
Top penalty killers Scott and D'Amigo, along with 2010 third-round pick McKegg, provided more than 60 per cent of Toronto's offence against Rochester.
"In a sense, we're kind of similar players," said Scott. "Jerry and I have had chemistry before. McKegg's a good skilled guy who can get the puck to the net and more often than not good things will come with that."
Scott had a breakout series against the Americans, leading all scorers with five goals and an assist in three games.
"I was playing with good guys who were getting the puck to me and I just put my head down and had some luck," he added. "Hopefully I'll have the same result in the Grand Rapids series."
Toronto enters relatively healthy after an eight-day layoff, with only forward Spencer Abbott expected to miss Game 1 with an undisclosed injury.
"In the playoffs (rest) is a double-edged sword," said Eakins. "Against Rochester I didn't like the way we matched up. I ran five forwards really, really hard and they didn't need a day off, they needed three days off. So that was a good rest for us."
The Griffins, who needed five games to down the Houston Aeros in the first round, were led by forward Tomas Tatar (three goals, one assist) and rookie goaltender Petr Mrazek, who posted a 1.83 goals-against average and .924 save percentage.
Toronto finished the regular season second in the AHL's Western Conference, while the Griffins finished in third spot, four points back. The Marlies took the season series 2-0-2, but all of those games were played prior to the end of the NHL lockout, meaning each club's roster has changed drastically since the last meeting in December.
"We've been watching their games," said Eakins. "It doesn't look like their systems have drastically changed. They have some guys up (in NHL), but they look like the basis of their game is the same as the last couple years. In the end you play against who's out there, so there's no Plan B."
While the Marlies were a perfect 16-for-16 on the penalty kill against the Americans, success against Grand Rapids will likely be a product of improved discipline against the offensively gifted Griffins.
"With Grand Rapids being so highly skilled, their power play is going to be dangerous," said Scott. "Our penalty kill during the regular season wasn't where we wanted it but we still have tons of confidence. This is the time that matters."
Notes: Toronto goalie Drew MacIntyre, who earned his first-career AHL playoff win with the Griffins in 2006 against the Marlies, had a solid first round by stopping 93-of-98 shots to go along with a shutout. ... Depending on the post-season success of their parent NHL clubs, Joe Colborne and Ryan Hamilton are eligible to return from the Maple Leafs, while the Griffins could get forwards Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson back from the Detroit Red Wings.

Sesame or tahini halva recipe - How to make sesame or tahini halva
Recipe for Sesame Halva, or Tahini Halva: a sweet treat. Learn how to make the best halva.
Halva is basically a crystalized paste of sesame seeds (tahini) and sugar—a flaky sweet confection based on crushed sesame seeds.
Halva best translated as sweetmeat—derives from the arabic for "sweet". Halvas are traditional across a wide range of cultures, spread geographically from north Africa, through the Middle East, the Levant and the Balkans, to central Asia and India.
This sweet treat is produced from quality, natural ingredients and is regarded as one of the most nutritious and healthy natural foods. This is emphasized by the fact that sesame seed , grown in the lush, fertile fields of Thrace , is the basic ingredient (55%) used in the preparation of Halva.
Nutritional analysis results show it to be an excellent source of protein (26%) and polyunsaturated fats (60%), while being rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as iron and magnesium.
The following recipe is for Honey Sesame Halva which represents one of the variations.
2 cups (24 oz.; 700g) honey
flavourings—vanilla, coffee, chocolate,...
1½ cups (12 oz.; 340g) tahini — beaten to mix in any excess oil
optional 1½ cups nuts —try almonds
Heat the honey, stirring to prevent local overheating. If using a sugar thermometer, simmer until the thermometer reaches 240 °F (115 °C) — otherwise, test for a ``soft ball '' syrup. Once you have reached the soft-ball temperature, let the honey-syrup cool for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, warm the tahini to about 50 °C; 120 °F. Fold the warmed tahini into the hot honey-syrup.
Before adding the tahini, you can add nuts (pistachio, almond, hazelnut) to the syrup. It's worth the effort to remove the skins and gently toast the nuts in a moderate oven (180 °C; 350 °F), and add the hot nuts to the hot syrup. Add as many as you want—this mixture will take up to 2 cups (8 oz.; 250g) of nuts if you like your halva that way; most shop-bought halva has far less.
Put the warm mixture into an oiled cake tin (either with a press-out base, or lined with baking paper), ramekins, or a plastic container. Once cool, seal to keep out any moisture and leave in the fridge for 36 hours (this allows the sugar crystals, which give halva its distinctive texture, time to grow). Cut while cold, with a sharp knife (if the halva is softer than the nuts it's difficult to make a clean cut, so this is easier when the halva is cold).

Hi this is the best site for genuine recipes, million thanks, samihaReplyDelete
I tried the Honey Sesame Halva recipe and loved the taste, but it didn't crystalize as the recipe said would,and it stayed soft. I cut it into squares when cold but at room temps, the squares spread and no cut lines remained. I followed the recipe closely. I'd love to make this for gifts, but it isn't suitable like this. Can you help?ReplyDeleteReplies

Bev; The temperature stated in the recipe is too low. Instead of 240F raise the temperature to about 270F and you will find the result much more firm. Hope that helps. Former Halva maker.Delete
- AnonymousJune 21, 2016 at 6:58 PM
You are quite right, Bev. I know this from experience. Regardless of the temperature, honey does not behave like sugar. In fact, you don't even get a syrup, it goes like water. That's why I have been experimenting to make a honey halva that sets. Haven't cracked it yet!Delete
This version of halva uses honey which spreads at room temperature. So, it should be cut while it's cold, but serve at room temperature. If you use 2 cups of tahini in this recipe, it will become more firm (make sure you use good quality honey and tahini).ReplyDelete
Any how, I recommend other variations of halva for gifts. Good luck
I look forward to trying to make this!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 29, 2011 at 8:25 AM
@Bev: be sure you cook the honey long enough to reach the stage it will crystalize when cooling-use 2 testing methods-don't trust one thermometer. Also, there might be too much oil in your tahini-try another brand.ReplyDelete
If the temp is raised to 130C it will turn out harder. How much oil is present in the tahini doesn't affect the hardness. Make sure you mix the tahini well before proceeding. This is excellent if eaten with hard crust bread.ReplyDelete
Any one, would using freshly ground sesame seeds work better then tahini for texture?ReplyDelete
If you were to add flavorings, at what point would you add them? ie cocoa or unsweetened chocolate--with the honey before bringing to soft ball, or later, with the nuts, or even later, with the tahini? Or melt the chocolate with the tahini and add them together to the honey caramel? I am thinking of using maple syrup though, instead of honey...and we'll see if it works, because that's almost like making maple sugar candies and adding tahini.ReplyDelete
To add flavoring,after you stir the tahini and honey, thoroughly incorporate the cocoa into the batter.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 27, 2012 at 3:21 PM
This recipe doesn't work. Heating it to soft ball stage doesn't make the honey hard when it cools. That crap about crystallizing is BS-you simply arent heating the honey long enough.ReplyDeleteReplies

Make sure you are using genuine honey. Get it from a bee keeper or someone you trust. Otherwise there may be corn syrup and who knows what else in it.Delete

to make sugar crystals the easiest way is to throw in a pinch of granulated sugar when mixing in the nuts...sugar crystals will form as they will have a starter not unlike adding a culture to milk to make yougert.ReplyDelete

Here in Australia, you can buy at a good Greek or specialty deli' a Halva cake it is just so yummy,I have been told it comes from Greece,it is on a cake stand and normally you buy it as you would a slice of cake it is very fresh.. does anyone out there now how to make this Halva cake? it has a crystallized texture,it also seems to have a really good quality dark chocolate in it as well as nuts. hope some one out there knows this Recipe.ReplyDeleteReplies

Just yesterday I visited our local Greek Store and all the Greek Grandma's were there. They make the fresh pitas AND the Halvah and it was on a cake stand too ;-) I got a hunk of Pistachio Halvah and it was divine!

Overheated honey is not poisonous. It simply loses its healing qualities - the enzymes die, that's all. If overheated honey was poisonous so would be all cakes and pastries that use honey, all stir fry sauces that use honey, and we all would be dead!!! :-)Delete

you can make a nice spread by mixing Tahini with honey - great with fingers of warm pitta bread.ReplyDelete
As far as I know heating honey does distroy some of its health beifits, and affect it's keeping properties - so as a bee keeper I can't sell honey heated over a certain temp, however it does not make it poisonous - other wise you couldn't have honey cake and lodes of other rescipiesReplies

I don't understand, the halva I'm used to is dry and crumbles when you eat it, and almost melts in your mouth. The halva I'm used to is the kind shown in the upper-left of the photo.ReplyDelete
But when I tried this recipe, it came out like the square caramel candies or toffee. It was really hard to cut at cold temperatures and didn't taste like the halva I'd had before.
Did I do something wrong, or is the photo above not the same halva as the recipe?Replies

I wish you the best, hoping that one of the previous recipes is what you are looking for
- AnonymousNovember 9, 2013 at 7:46 PM
This is exactly what happened to me. Next time I tried I used more tahini than honey (wasn't writing any proportions but I had 1 jar of tahini, about 3/4 smaller jar of honey so I'd say the proportion was about 4 parts of tahini to 3 parts of honey. I poured the honey and heated it only to the stage when it started foaming and bubbling. I stirred in the tahini. I didn't heat the tahini. I stirred for a little longer and poured into a baking tin that was lined with plastic wrap. I cut it after 48 hours - it begun developing the crystally crumbly structure. I've just eaten the rest of it, 5 days after making and the texture has developed some more. So my experience is - use less honey than tahini, do not heat the honey to the 115C but less, and leave in the fridge for a week to cure. I will try again because now I feel encouraged. My first attempt was greasy, gluey and way too sweet. I know that halva needs to be sweet, but that first batch was too much.Delete

Hi to allReplyDelete
I, too, have had problems getting the halwa to set with this type of recipe. In my experience, honey does not boil to a "soft ball" stage. It simply boils and starts to boil over if you let it. Even after the halwa has been in the fridge for 36 hours, it comes out sticky and chewy, just like toffee as others have described, and is very difficult to cut.
I much prefer the grain-based halwas like semolina, wheat flour, corn flour and chick pea flour. I have even used cous-cous.
Good work on the blog. It is the second place I turn to each day after powering up the computer and getting a cup of coffee.ReplyDeleteReplies

Secrets of a Model Home Design Pro
Mary DeWalt of Mary DeWalt Design Group
Eight Great Two-Minute Videos to Inspire Key Rooms in Your Home
Creating the interior design for your dream home -- and selecting your favorite furnishings, wallpaper and paint -- are some of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of building your home.
Personalizing your new home is all about realizing your individual style. In addition, good design rests on a solid foundation of color and design guidelines that help you achieve the look you desire, from cutting-edge to timeless.
To help you create key rooms in your home from scratch, NewHomeSource enlisted award-winning interior designer Mary DeWalt. Together, we created the eight short videos below, each chockfull of hot design trends and decorating ideas for either your personal use or for model home decor.
Mary and her team at Mary DeWalt Design Group specialize in model home merchandising. They're behind some of the most appealing model home designs in the nation -- rooms that elicit ooh's and ah's. And when it comes to luscious, head-turning models (homes, that is), imitation is definitely the sincerest form of flattery.
The videos below provide an insider's look at homes built by Jimmy Jacobs Custom Homes and designed by DeWalt in Caballo Ranch -- a new home community in Cedar Park, Texas, near Austin. Their work on these homes received a 2012 Silver Award in The Nationals, a leading award program for builders. Room by room, you'll find inspirational design ideas, model home decorating ideas, and loads of fresh, fun and wildly helpful advice from DeWalt.
When it comes to your home's interior space, good design is easy to attain. As DeWalt reveals, there are various ways to add pizzazz to your space, many at a surprisingly low cost. One simple technique? Paint.
"It's the most important and affordable tool for creating ambiance in a room," she explains.
Other pointers DeWalt provides include using drywall to mimic wainscoting; selecting a lower height for the kitchen island to expand the room; and accessorizing solid furniture with print fabrics and accent pieces that you can easily and inexpensively change, should you want to freshen or redesign the space down the road.
Whatever your budget and tastes, tune in as DeWalt offers the lowdown on what's trending behind the front door:

In addition to her advice in each video above, Mary also shared her Top 10 Design Tips:
- Don't be a sissy when selecting paint colors. It's the most important and affordable tool for creating ambiance in a room.
- Make sure every room has a visual exclamation point.
- Art, wall hangings and window coverings that contrast with the wall color make interior spaces come to life.
- White shades on lamps and hanging fixtures make rooms bright and inviting.
- Add sparkle and reflective elements with glass tiles and shiny accessories.
- Use fewer, larger table accessories for a less-cluttered look.
- Group colorful accessories over the kitchen cabinets in lieu of plants and baskets.
- Address high volume areas of the home with large-scale artwork. Room-dividing screens can be taken apart and hung together for an affordable way to fill the space.
- Save the splashy print fabrics for pillows and accent pieces and select solids for sofas; it will be less expensive to change the look of a room.
- If you only purchase things for your home that you really love, you'll really love your home.
