Skinny Legs
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Only a model would have skinny legs to fit these. Anyone athletic enough to ski or bike will not fit the thighs.
KAVU Chilliwack Pant
The KAVU Goodman Shirt and the Chilliwack Pants
Pretty okay
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Corse material, somewhat stiff. Cool design with not much practicality. They will hold up well, good for camping and roughing up.

- Fit: Runs small
Love these pants once you beat the he!! out of them. I am between a L and XL (I am 6'1" 220...with thighs of a NFL linebacker)so I recently bought large, didn't fit, returned them. Owned 2 pair (L) and have had them for about 4 years and they are in the normal rotation because they are broken in (but a little short so I don't wear them as much).
Also, buyer beware. Make sure the color you choose is the color you really want. Tobacco is brown, not normal khaki color so that may mislead you as different websites will display the wrong picture for the color names.
All in all, good quality pants. Just be aware of what you're buying.

Killer pants
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Absolutely love these pants. Ordered another pair as soon as I wore my first pair one time. Canvas material is tough, but comfortable. I wear these to the bouldering gym because they have a little give. 6'2", 190 lbs, waist size 33 and the large fits well.

Comfortable pants, annoying velcro
Soft but durable pants. Very comfortable. They have velcro patches on the back pockets to keep them secured. The velcro's really strong (maybe just my pair?) and both ripped off after a few months from attaching/detaching to use pockets. I actually like them better without the velcro. I'm 6'1" 175 lbs and usually wear 32x32. The mediums are on the shorter side, but fit well.
Soft, comfy, and good!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Some restating of what others have said. I'm almost the definition of M (in my mind); 32 " waist, 30" inseam, big thighs and butt. I got the small, it fits very well. Yes the back pockets look weird, but 1) my wife likes them 2) I can move the wallet around so I'm not perched on it while driving. I find them to be very soft and yet strong, and they have taken over from my similar Cloudveil pants. Overall, pretty darn happy although I haven't yet had the crotch splitting that others have noted.
Wearing them right now
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Good, solid work pants. The material is nice and thick, great for work or outside fun. The gusseted crotch allows for better ease of movement. The only issue I have is that the rise seems to be a little short. I'm not a plumber but these pants seem to think I am if you know what I mean. Overall, pretty nice.
Nice pants for biker thighs
I have worm chilliwacks for over a decade, they are my favorite pants by far, there have been some changes in the cloth, originally they were a heavy duck canvas, now the cloth seems to be softer. If you like pants that are already broken in, then the new cloth will feel nice right out of the box. The weak link in the pants is the crotch, you need to be sure and not hike in them with a wet crotch or they will wear out quicker. They can be patched easilly enough. These pants are apparently being discontinued, which is really sad because I have never found a pant that fits so well. I have a 35" waist and a 33" inseam, the XL fits me baggy with a nice shoe top length. I still have my original pair, dark green, they are faded to a pale green now, thread worn, patched in the crotch, legs, hems, I only take them out for special occassions, I don't think I'll ever throw them out :)
My Favorite
These are awesome pants. Extremely comfortable and durable. Back pockets are a little funky, but you get used to them.
Not a fan of the custom crotch venting either
When I bought these I was pretty stoked. The canvass material is surprisingly stout for a $35 pant off S&C. Also happy with the brown bear color.However, the honeymoon was over real quick.I bought these in a large, which fits well length-wise, but the waist is quite a bit too large. Usually this can be remedied with a nice sturdy belt, however this pant is totally incompatible with belts, and its reliance on the thin and plastic buckled contraption it has around the waist is an inadequate measure to hold up such a heavy pair of pants. This probably would have been less of a problem with a medium.I also had a small hole wear through the crotch within the first couple of days. Not a fan of it.The back pockets look so unnatractive that you wonder how they ever came up with the design. If you like having people gaze at your butt all day- these are your pants- just don't be surprised if their stare turns into a look of empathetic bewilderment.
My first pair of chilliwack pants lasted me about 2 years until my wallet wore a hole through. I patched it, and kept wearing them until the entire seat began to wear through. Considering how much I abused them they held up pretty great. My second pair lasted me a few weeks until the crotch began to loose threads and the hole began to grow. Huge disappointment, quality of pants has declined, hellooooo mountain khakis
Good Fit, Great Price
I bought my pair of XL Chilliwacks on SAC, and couldn't be happier. I wear 38x34 normally, and they fit well in both directions, not too short on me. They seem to be well constructed and the material is strong yet comfortable. They are definitely fit for working or hiking through brush, though they are probably too heavy for normal backpacking
Great Pant
I agree with the other... Great pant except for the wallet issue and the length... I can live with the wallet issue. I would buy more if we could get a longer length. Same with the shorts, let's get some length to really make this work....
Good work pant
Nice stylish work pant that is built to take a beating. But, a wallet in the rear pocket is uncomfortable for bar stool surfing and I find the length to be on the short side.

*** No posts tomorrow (Wednesday) as we are heading out on a double super secret mission and will be off-line all day. And no there is zero truth to the Deadspun site rumor that President-elect Barack Obama has called us to D.C. to participate in his weekly game of five-on-five. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Do you think there is any chance Utah State Coach Stew Morrill will play Vegas?
No, not in the basketball sense but as a yukmeister and dance man. You know, something like Larry the Cable Guy headlining, with Stew Morrill opening.
We wouldn't have guessed that Coach Morrill has a public funny side but he apparently does and displayed just that at a college basketball luncheon in Salt Lake City this week.
At the Utah State Scout site (actually the basketball message board), a couple of fans who were in the audience posted their take on Morrill's appearance.
Posted: Yesterday 10:22 PM
Some points from today's basketball luncheon in SLC
Stew was in rare form today at the coaches luncheon. Pretty jovial, and very conversational. Told a few too many jokes. We could have used the time for questions.
He was asked what is the difference between Jared Quayle now, and the Quayle that came out of Box Elder High School. He said Quayle, while 4-A MVP at BEHS, was kind of a "who knows" kind of player. Everybody thought he had ability, but nobody was sure if he was really a D-1 player. He went on his mission and when he got back, came to USU and wanted to walk-on. One of the coaches took him aside and said, "If you walk on you'll never get to play. So why don't you go to a junior college, get some playing time, and then we'll take a look at you then." So the coaching staff arranged for him to play at Western Wyoming in Rock Springs...
...Somebody asked him what he and Jim Boylen got into it about at the Utah game. He said the same guy selects the refs for both the Mountain West and WAC conferences. So all the coaches know everybody. He said during the BYU game, Dave Rose was really playing to the refs and talking to them all the time. Stew said that wasn't going to happen again. When Boylen started asking about every call, Stew yelled to the ref, "So are we going to talk about every call you guys make." Boylen went berzerk and came down and in no uncertain terms basically told Stew to perform an anatomically impossible act. Stew says if you see the film of the game, you'll see him turn away, and start laughing as he walked back to the bench... Try this link and see for yourself.

INSPIRATIONAL young West Ham striker Dylan Tombides said sharpness is the only difference between now and 2011 when he was Australia's brightest young star.
Tombides, then 17, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in June 2011 during the FIFA U17 World Cup while representing Australia and around the time he was pushing for a regular spot in West Ham's first XI.
Chemotherapy saw him drop 16 kilograms and left him bed-ridden for months but the courageous teen has fought back and remains as ambitious as ever for both club and country.
The skillful and composed 185cm striker is knocking on Sam Allardyce's senior door, making West Ham's bench in last Wednesday's League Cup win over Burnley while he set up a goal during a 90-minute outing in West Ham's 3-3 draw against Chelsea's development squad at the weekend.
"Physically I'm back up to where I was at the World Cup in 2011, I'm 83 kg (he was 84kg then) and I dropped right down to 68kg at one point," Tombides said.
"I knew I'd get through it eventually, but it made me realise how helpless I was. I needed mum, dad, my brother (Taylor), it wasn't pleasant feeling. I could barely keep my eyes, I hardly moved and getting out of bed was a rarity.
"It's been a stop-start, I had to go through my cancer and operations but now it's just the radio frequency ablation (RFA) that put me out for a couple of days.
"But I don't feel like it's holding me back, and I feel I'm ready to play now and I want to look at things as though nothing has changed, I want to push for the first team.
"I not as sharp as I was, but I'm not far off."
Perth-born Tombides was signed by the legendary Tony Carr for the West Ham academy age 14 and has developed into one of their best current products.
Tombides, who was on the West Ham bench in the 2010-11 season and made his debut in a League Cup clash with Wigan last season, earned the praise of then West manager Avram Grant who would've debuted him at 17 if not for a relegation battle.
But with new manager Allardyce signing the likes of Andy Carroll, Carlton Cole, Mladen Petric and Ricardo Vaz Te, Tombides realises he may need to seek a loan move.
"We've spoken about that. Andy Carroll's on his way back, Carlton Cole, Mladen Petric, so it may be a case of going out on loan and getting experience," he said.
Tombides revealed that he was disappointed that FFA hadn't kept close tabs on him, and said they were surprised at the state he was in when he went to visit them at the Canada camp in London.
"I went and saw them, they weren't quite aware of where I was at and couldn't believe how I was looking," Tombides said.
"Last time they saw me I was a ghost and they didn't know I was back playing, which was upsetting because they were in my backyard and it would've been nice to be a part of it and even to get a run out against Canada.
"It would be nice to get into the Socceroos. I've had a such a detrimental time and the fact that I had such a big reputation would be nice to be out there and get a game for Australia."

The Gypsy from Ken Forrester is made with a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre grapes, which have been harvested from the Western Cape of South Africa and hand-selected to go into this yummy red wine. It spends 12 months maturing in oak casks, before the finest of these casks are selected, blended and then matured for another 12 months. The 2010 vintage features a good deal of oak and spice characteristics, with warming notes of nutmeg and cinnamon coming through clearly. Lighter hints of vanilla come forward nearer the finish.

Stars are coming to town.
Wrongest 3rd jersey since the fisherman (Montreal not included)
Ooops, that one got posted a little too fast, but here's the edited version:
The Stars are coming back to the Joe for more and we all remember the last meeting. The one Dennis LaRue fucked up. So please God, let us get a good referee or two today.
Dallas are hanging in there in the West, but their team doesn't seem that strong overall, and I can't see why they should be able to outplay the Wings yet again (on the other hand the Wings are as predictable as a guy on crack, so who knows).
We don't know if Alex Auld is playing again or if Marty Turco is gonna play. Hopefully it'll be Turco, he sucks at the Joe :D
The line up will be the same as against the Blues, but Eaves might be a game time desicion with an injury. In that case Maltby will replace him. Which leads to my question HOW THE FUCK CAN MALTBY BE SCRATCHED WHEN BERTUZZI IS PLAYING?. Having said that, let's hope that Big Bert finds some confidence in his shootout marker and decides to show us why the Wings are paying him.
Keys to the game:
- Wandell, and their breakout in general has to be slowed up
- Ribeiro, their best forward must be watched
- Patience, and effectiveness getting out of our own zone
- More speed through the neutral zone, get more off the rush
- Leino made some good passes against the Blues, now he needs to step up on the other aspects of his game
- More traffic to the net
- More aggressive play in their own zone
- Referee's who will allow the Wings to score
A good reason to hate the Stars:
Panter wrote them a fight song (including a riff from Cowboys from Hell). That should be enough to make anyone envious.
Pantera, Dallas fans extraordinaires. RIP Dime!

The catalyst for Cycle Against Suicide is Irish entrepreneur, Jim Breen. Jim was visiting a Suicide Awareness group in Dublin 15 as part of RTÉ'S documentary, The Secret Millionaire, which aired in July 2012. Noticing the huge impact that this programme had on people, Jim decided that he had to use his skills and influences to help raise awareness for the supports available for suicide prevention in Ireland.The core team are an integral part of this initiative and are just as passionate about this cause as Jim.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Leixlip
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) was founded in Ireland in 1844. It is the largest voluntary charitable organisation in Ireland. During its history it has helped people in need through a Famine, a Civil War, a War of Independence, two World Wars and several economic recessions. Our focus is on practical approach to dealing with poverty, alleviating its effects on individuals and families through working primarily in person-to-person contact by a unique system of family visitation and seeking to achieve social justice and equality of opportunity for all citizens.
After the success of the first Leap On Your Bike Charity Cycle it is now going to be an annual event. The next Annascaul to Leixlip charity cycle will be on Saturday 16th - Sunday 17th July 2016

We rented The Girl Next Door. It was funny. At first I didn't think I was going to like it, but it turned out to be good.
Printable View
We rented The Girl Next Door. It was funny. At first I didn't think I was going to like it, but it turned out to be good.
Over the last few weeks, I really didn't watch much as I thought I was. January was a very lack-luster month IMO (with the exception of Troy), so that could explain it.
Cellular - I was reluctant to see this, but overall, I have to say it was OK at best. The first half of the movie was laughable, and many of my staff-mates agree. I thought things picked up around the half-way point, but the ending was a little lack-luster, and it didn't feel like it had enough resolve. I was very disappointed by William H. Macy's character, as he seemed more like a sissy than a real cop. The trailers made it seem like he's been doing homicide work/kidnapping cases for the most of his carrier. If that's what they were going for, it worked, because his character was nothing like that. Anyways, I'm giving this a +.5 bonus because the movie was a good length but still kept me interested to give it a final score of 3/5 overall. Worth a rental, but no more.
The Forgotten - The general consensus I've been hearing is the movie good, gets better, than BAM, falls down the gutter. I'd say I was as disappointed as everyone else, but, I could already tell some of the things that were going on (the super natural things that happen in the trailers, for example). The original ending, though,. Despite the ending, I'd give this one a 3.5/5 overall.Click to see Spoiler:
Ray - I was quite impressed with this one here. Although, it might be because I selected the "Extended Cut" on the play-disc, but it seemed like it cut back and forth too many times I could hardly keep up with what year/what we were looking at. The movie itself, though, was excellent. I thought the movie at a great spot, and the progression through-out Ray's life was done wonderfully. I went into the movie thinking it was going to be a simple Day 1 to Present type of movie, but thankfully, it wasn't exactly like that. Definitely recommend for a rental or picking up a copy to buy, because I'm sure this might get an Oscar here, so get it while it's still fresh. 4.5/5 from me.
Sadly, those were the only movies I've seen in the last few weeks. I've been trying to pick-up Mr. 3000 for quite some time now, but our store only received a few copies, and I prefer to have a wide-screen copy. Tomorrow I hope to get that, and I should also have a copy of Shark Tale on me. Everyone is wanting to see that one, so I guess I better beat the rush.
Pickup on South Street, ****
Underrated film noir from 1953. No big stars but very well-acted, especially by Thelma Ritter, who practically steals the show with her Brooklyn accent-ladened, Oscar-nominated performance. You'll probably find this one in the VHS section of the video store.
I haven't seen any recent movies lately, other than Harold and Kumar, a so-so comedy. I do want to see Ray and [soft voice]The Notebook[/sv].
Ray was good, much better than I had expected (I was worried it would be a wee bit over-hyped, but my husband convinced me to get it). Jamie Foxx really gives a bravura performance, and I think it's a crime that the actress who played his mom did not get a supporting actress nom from the Academy. I needed Kleenex a couple of times during this one.
We also watched Maria Full of Grace which was really excellent, a very moving film that deals with its difficult subject matter with realism, subtlety, and power. Catalina Sandino Moreno's performance is so immediate, and so earnest, that I see why she deserved her Oscar nod. After I watched this, it made me think how much Hollywood "stars" don't even act anymore; they're just name brands that we are expected to worship on celluloid (such as in the abysmal, self-conscious smirk-fest, Ocean's 12). Hollywood could learn a thing or too about authentic performances from newcomer Moreno, who inhabits her character with a commitment that grips the viewer throughout the film.
Angels in America Part 1 and 2 in one sitting, with my Mother who is visiting from the Prairie. This lived up to all the hype, and Emma Thompson has never looked more beautiful.
Friday Night Lights
Open Water
The Forgotten
(I was sick....)
The Grudge and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
they were ok
The Grudge - better than I thought
Cellular - also better than I thought, the lead actor in it steals the show. Kim Basinger is pretty much her hysterical self and screeches through most of the movie
The Notebook - I watched this on my own and cried through about the last 2/3 of the movie. Obviously, the boyfriend opted out. It was a great tearjerker, but 100% a chick flick.
Didn't waste time or energy renting , bought it as soon as it was available for gratuitous Diego watching on demand. :lolQuote:

Part of the Picos de Europa, a mountain range that runs through Cantabria and Asturias in Northern Spain.
Click for full-size. Pretty amazing mountains, eh? What Asturias lacks in sheer elevation is makes up for in dramatic peaks and sudden elevation changes, lush valleys snaking through snowy shards of stone poking out of the earth at all angles. Lots of nice granite, shale, and even limestone... a geologist's dream!

My family has stumbled upon a new hero. Not that we're likely to bump into him any time soon, given he died around 5000 years ago, but we've seen some of his making and it's hugely impressive — although you'd need more than the average backyard to build one of these babies.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Imhotep designed and engineered Djozer's step pyramid, the first serious building made entirely of stone. 5000 years later it still stands tall in the desert south of Cairo. He is considered to be the first architect, engineer and surgeon. He was Chancellor to the King, a High Priest, and possessed some great titles including "Chief Carpenter, Chief Sculptor and Maker of Vases in Chief."
He is considered to have created or improved papyrus and to have written the first medical work devoid of reference to magic. Some of his surgical instruments survive to this day.
Imhotep was associated with a number of Egyptian gods after his death and was said to help hold back chaos. Then two thousand years after his death, Imhotep was made the Egyptian god of medicine and healing.
In my experience dinosaurs and Egypt figure highly in the life of many young geeks. If yours is one of those, you could do worse than steer them towards Imhotep.
On top of a CV that would put the MythBusters to shame, there's one fact makes Imhotep just perfect. He designed his own tomb and it has never been discovered.
All those accolades to his name and a bit of Indiana Jones mystery to round things off. What more could you possibly want in a geek hero?

text: Why Are Low-Tech Hot Tubs Suddenly So Appealing?Rosa Golijan10/21/10 11:48pmFiled to: RetromodoHot Tubhot tubstubtubs75EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkIt seems that low-tech, wood-fired hot tubs are trendy again. According to the NYT, this could be either due to the fact that old-school hot tubs are cheaper or simply because of a certain nostalgia:AdvertisementIt's fun, like a ritual that you plan hours in advance. You chop the wood, get the firebox going and get really good at managing the fire to keep the water in a narrow range of 104 to 106 degrees. You have a real outdoor experience, as opposed to a Las Vegas experience.No matter what the reason for this recent trend, you can head over to the NYT to learn more about hot tubs, new and old.

Strategic Flexibility and the Optimality of Pay for Sector Performance
While standard contract theory suggests that a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) should be paid relative to a benchmark that removes the effects of sector performance, there is evidence that CEO pay is strongly and positively related to such sector performance. In this article, we offer an explanation. We model a CEO charged with selecting the firm's strategy that determines the firm's exposure to sector performance. To incentivize the CEO to choose optimally, pay contracts will be positively and sometimes asymmetrically related to sector performance. Consistent with our predictions, the empirical analysis indicates that the observed sensitivity of pay to sector performance is almost fully confined to multisegment firms and is greater in firms that offer greater strategic flexibility to alter sector exposure, for more talented CEOs and for CEOs as compared to their subordinate executives. Our evidence is robust to alternate explanations such as CEO entrenchment. The Author 2010. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Society for Financial Studies. All rights reserved.

A six-pronged silver invention is the most popular online exhibit in the incredible collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. Here's why
© Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge
Nearly 38,000 visitors have wondered how this implement might have been used 2,000 years ago, making it the most popular object on the museum's website. And the answer might be less practical than we thought: curators say it's "hard to avoid" concluding that the neatness of the knife might just have made it a possession Romans wanted to show off with.
"The fact that this is made of silver, and so beautifully crafted, definitely marks it out as a luxury item," says the museum.
"Most likely it was the possession of a wealthy person who was a frequent traveller – one can imagine him getting it out at an inn and showing off with it, not unlike having the latest type of iPhone, except that this would also have rarity value."
Although the iron knife blade has corroded, the other handy sections, hinged and riveted onto a flat silver handle, can all be wielded. There is little evidence that Romans set forks at the dinner table, but they may have put them to surgical use.
"Portability seems to be the motive behind these implements," say curators.
"The Germans call them Reisebestecke or travelling cutlery – like their modern counterparts they are highly portable.
"At the same time, the neatness of design and virtuosity of craftsmanship recalls that of the Swiss army knives today. There is something very attractive about them."
Bronze knife-spoons are relatively common, but a contraption with this many elements combined is unusual. According to the museum, there are comparable examples in a Swiss private collection, a Bulgarian tomb and northern Italy.
Its culinary capabilities ranged from dissecting lobsters and crabs to crunching snails and walnuts.

Scenes from SDCC: Tamashii Bluefin
4 comments postedSUPER ROBOT CHOGOKIN DAIZYUJIN.
That Heavyarms-esque Unicorn looks pretty awesome.
..and the picture does not do it justice. Same goes for that DX Maxinger and the SRC Daiyujin. I was shocked at the finish on the SRC. Probably the nicest one yet.
That's the Full Armor, basically instead of additional armor, it's artillery the Gundam gets including multiple missle packs, a pair of bazookas, extra shields, and six gatling guns. But due to modern standards, you have to pay extra for an ash tray and a cup holder.
Hmm-! I wonder how they'll incorporate a FA Unicorn Gundam into "SD Gundam Capsule Fighter"... I think I'd play with that since it has Gatling guns and increased mobility. Maybe some fast-reload homing missiles. Definitely an S-rank unit too, so it could either use or cast off its extra weapons. Probably a scissors unit to boot, since the regular and N-TD versions are both rocks.

BY NEXT SUMMER, EVERY RECORD WILL FEATURE PETE DOHERTY IN SOME FORM OR OTHER: We like Pete Libertine, we really do, but the lamb's got to perhaps think about taking a rest, or sometimes saying "No", because if he keeps getting side gigs at the rate he's doing at the moment, he's going to wind up making a record with the Fimbles or Boobahs by mistake. His next trick is guesting on Client's Down To The Underground, b-side of their In It For The Money debut single. And who are Client, you ask?
They're Sarah Blackwood, who used to be in Dubstar, and Kate Holmes who did the girly vocal bits of Frazier Chorus many moons again (big favourites of Simon Mayo, of course, which probably accounts for why they never turned their promise into success.)

My wife offered to spice our sex life up by asking me to find a girl to join us, we posted on the internet and we had a great threesome with a younger girl, then my wife wanted to do the same with another man, I was a bit uneasy with it but went with it. She found a man online and we went to a hotel, the other man was an athletic black man with a considerably larger penis than myself, my wife dressed up in stockings and suspenders which she hasn't done for years and really acted like a slut for this man, he brought her to orgasm as I sat and watched. We still have sex ourselves but she wants to meet black men on her own now and I don't know what to do!

Couscous Recipes below.
Early in our relationship I invited my wife-to-be over for dinner. About mid-day it started to snow, which was perfect for what I'd planned—a big pot of couscous and a bottle of red wine. Margaret was coming straight from work and I figured that the snow would slow down traffic a little, but time kept passing. About an hour after I expected her, I got a call. Traffic was so snarled that she had actually left her car and was calling from a phone booth to tell me that she had only moved ten blocks and that she was stranded, unable to get up a hill and surrounded by fish-tailing cars and buses. I turned the fire out under the couscous and jumped in my car. Using sand from my trunk I got her car off the street and into a parking place.
Getting around in a blizzard tightens anyone's nerves, but spending an hour making a ten-minute trip can make you homicidal. Our evening was off to a bad start. But when we got to my place, I could see the tension melt away. Couscous is part nourishment and part aroma therapy. The rich smell of stew promises warmth and nourishment while the exotic combination of lamb, cinnamon, and cumin soothes the soul.
To this day I can't make couscous without thinking of that evening.
Anyway, I was teaching couscous to a class recently and had gotten to steaming it. (In the same way that "pasta" refers to both the noodles themselves and noodles with sauce, couscous refers to the tiny, grain-shaped pasta and the whole dish. Incidentally, couscous is a pasta, but that's another story.) Part way through steaming, the inevitable question came up about why I was going to so much trouble, that the way of fixing couscous on all the boxes seemed so much easier.
That's when it occurred to me that cooking was like language. with language, there's correct grammar and usage as set down in textbooks. Then there's the way we all talk—the slang, expressions, and shortcuts we use every day.
It's the same with cooking. Just about any dish has a traditional, text-book way to prepare it and a whole bunch of variations and shortcuts that might be considered dialects and slang.
Normally, when an ethnic dish is introduced it's presented in the most dogmatic, special-equipment-requiring fashion possible. That's the way it is presented in Moroccan cookbooks.
But everywhere else, slang couscous has become the norm. It's presented as a 5-minute starch. You boil water, dump in the couscous, take the pan off the heat, cover, wait 5 minutes, then voila, it's done.
And it works. Purists get into a snit about it, but it works all the same.
Now I'm not for or against slang couscous. Just as with language, there's a place for by-the-book procedures and a place for quick-and-easy. If I'm broiling a piece of fish and want a simple starch, I'm glad I'm comfortable with slang couscous. But there are other times when I'd rather speak formal couscous. Can you taste the difference? Sure, steaming makes a lighter, fluffier couscous.
Making couscous as a side dish or a salad is a good place for the 5-minute method. But the stew provides an irresistible opportunity to show how the traditional way to prepare the pasta is no big deal, how it folds right in with making the stew...how it even accommodates unforeseen circumstances like blizzards.

Join us online…from anywhere!…for this informative and interactive webinar series. Over the course of three webinar sessions (April 15, 22 and 29), participants will have an opportunity to examine the current discourse on violence in our global wars, towns, communities and schools alongside biblical texts from the books of Joshua, Judges, and Job that address issues related to human and divine justice, community identity and leadership, as well as social transformation. We will address issues of social violence, its traumatizing power, and the role of religious communities and leaders in responding to such violence.

I am neat and clean and like cooking and cleaning up for the house. Daisy is a quiet little King Charles cavalier spaniel who is completely housetrained and will not go toilet indoors. She doesn't scratch or beg. I have had 6 dogs to date and daisy is the perfect dog to take anywhere. John works 6 days in civil construction and I work for myself as an artist, marketing and networker. I am from Melbourne originally but spent the last 8 year in the country putting on art and music events in a town called Benalla. John is from Wales and has been here since 2006 and has lived in the city as a service tech, now works in civil construction. We are keen to move as the 5 hours driving out to Clyde and back to the city each day is weighing on our quality of life. Look forward to hearing from you.
Really searching for a ensuite room

I'm a 30 year old male and until last year I worked full time at as an IT/AV technician where I worked for 10 years. I am seeking accomodation in Pakenham and the surrounding areas, as well as anywhere from Pakenham to Traralgon including surrounding areas. I do not drive so it is essential the house be close to public transport, ideally within walking distance to a train station. I may consider other areas if the house is a good match. I am hoping to have meals (just dinner really) included. Some storage space would also be required. Unfortunately throughout the last year things have been a difficult for me. I suffer from an anxiety based mental illness called obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) which I started to really struggle with. Hopefully you won't judge me on that. As a result I ended up resigning from my job earlier this year. I am now coping a lot better now and I am currently working part-time (with full-time hours) but am looking for something different. I am a genuinely nice and caring person, I've just been through a lot lately and I'm just trying to get settled again. Unfortunately I have had issues with being screwed over by several housemates in the past, which certainly hasn't helped things. If you think you can help me or if you have any questions or advice at all please feel free to contact me - I have nothing to hide and I am happy to discuss my situation. Shaun

Innovation is an important differentiator in the semiconductor industry. Design methods continue to evolve to handle increased complexity, diverse functionality, and higher levels of on-chip integration. Advances in design technology and the scaling of semiconductor processes constantly motivate the need for innovations in test technology. This interdependence between design, manufacturing, and testing is becoming increasingly important as we tackle challenges related to yield, cost, and product quality.
This issue of IEEE Design & Test includes five articles that highlight the problems facing us with next-generation chips and systems. For instance, process variations are a serious concern for circuit design and performance estimation, and incremental timing analysis is prohibitively expensive for large designs. At the system level, task mapping must handle the dynamic nature of tasks in MPSoCs as well as address problems of network congestion in emerging interconnect fabrics such as network-on-chip. In testing, embedded test resources are increasingly being viewed as essential to reduce test cost, but ATPG methods require a language framework to describe these resources precisely and unambiguously.
The first article, "Measurement-Based Ring Oscillator Variation Analysis," by Koh Johguchi et al., describes an analysis method, based on a surface-potential MOSFET model and the use of fabricated ring oscillators, for understanding process variations. Designers must accurately estimate, at a presilicon stage, intradie and interdie variations so that circuit delays and power can be accurately estimated and predicted.
"Speeding Up Physical Synthesis with Transactional Timing Analysis," by David Papa et al., addresses the problem of carrying out incremental timing analysis efficiently in large designs. This article describes the use of transactional timing analysis, which avoids the need for significant timing calculations.
"Dynamic Task Mapping for MPSoCs," by Ewerson Luiz de Souza Carvalho et al., highlights an important problem in system-level design. Many applications, such as multimedia and networking running on MPSoCs, involve a dynamic task workload whereby the number of tasks simultaneously running change with time, yet tasks must be mapped to the system processors to optimize various performance measures. This article shows how dynamic task mapping for such applications can be carried out in MPSoCs. An important objective is to reduce congestion in the network-on-chip interconnect fabric.
In "A Common Language Framework for Next- Generation Embedded Testing" by Michele Portolan et al., the authors describe a proposal for a new language that can describe embedded test resources in a chip for subsequent use by automated test generation tools. This language is positioned in the context of ongoing IEEE P1687 standardization activities.
The last article, "BIST to Detect and Characterize Transient and Parametric Failures" by Alodeep Sanyal, Syed Alam, and Sandip Kundu, describes a BIST solution to target circuit-marginality issues and soft errors due to single-event upsets. The BIST technique is useful for detecting faults as well as distinguishing intermittent failures from hard (permanent) failures.
Finally, after a long hiatus, we are glad to bring D&T readers a roundtable discussion in which experts debate and discuss the design of chips without hard guarantees on correctness of operation at all times.
