text: So I got the Toys R Us Clone Commander Manual this evening. The stores by me have nothing that interests me right now, so they let me purchase it for $14.99. As I expected, it is really made for little kids, like maybe under 8 or so. It's a little too advanced for my 4 year old, but we can work on it together. It has a few puzzle games to complete to earn badges (stickers) to advance you from Trooper to Commander. Its kinda nifty and I am sure I would have freaked out over it if I was the appropriate age. Not bad, but not all that great. If you don't have Commander Ponds yet, I would probably wait until they are giving him away instead. They also gave me a coupon to bring back in between 9/20 and 9/27 to receive a free Clone Wars poster. The 2 it shows on the coupon are of the new A-wing/Mon Calamari Lego set or One of Captian Rex with Commanders Cody, Ponds, and Gree. My 4 year old will LOVE that.

text: The thousand-year-old building that houses the Tomb of King David on Mount Zion in Jerusalem is almost always thronging; some have come to pray and pay homage to Israel's famous king and ancestor of the Messiah, while others pour over sacred texts all day long in the anteroom next to the tomb. Jews have streamed here for centuries to recite the Psalms written by David, whose life teaches many lessons about human nature. The tomb is covered with a velvet cloth embroidered with the words David Melech Israel Hai Vekayam, the first song many Jewish children learn, which evokes the sense that David's spirit is still with us. Prayers at King David's tomb also turn to Jerusalem, which David made the united capital of the tribes of Israel. The anniversary of David's death coincides with the eve of Shavuot, when it is customary to pray and study all night at the tomb.

Considering an Underground Park in New York
An acclaimed chef and author considers a proposed park that will revitalize Manhattan's underground in more ways than one.
A FEW YEARS AGO I was at a dinner party at the summer home of the investment manager Boykin Curry when a fellow guest, James Ramsey, quietly opened his laptop at the table. We had briefly met in the kitchen earlier, when I was setting down a whole Serrano ham from Spain—my gift to the hosts. (Ramsey was introduced as "an architect," but we ended up speaking of the cured hams his family makes on their farm in Tennessee.) On his computer he pulled up photographs, one after the other, of abandoned underground switch stations, trolley turnarounds, sealed-off and derelict subway depots parceled under New York City—some 13 scattered acres of vaulted ceilings, tile work and embedded track curving off into dark tunnels in the distance. The spaces were so immense and cavernous that the workers and trolley cars in the photos looked like Lego pieces. Then he clicked on one, heavily tagged with graffiti, with vertical iron Y-beams like trees.
"It's been sitting there unused for 60 years. We just walked around in it last week," Ramsey said. I could have cleared a path through the wine bottles strewn across the table and crawled into the screen.
"Yeah," he said. "Incredible, right? This is the Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal, an abandoned full acre under Delancey Street, just a few blocks down from your place," he said, referring to my East Village restaurant, Prune. "We're hoping to reclaim the derelict space and transform it into a park. Kinda like the High Line. But, well, like nothing else in the world—and underground."
Modeled after the innovative Promenade plantée in Paris, the High Line park in west Manhattan is built on an elevated train rail repurposed and transformed for public use—a major green space incorporating the very plant life that was already growing wild there. Opened in 2009, it brings a new experience to living in the city that feels thrilling, not shameful the way the 'new' experience of shopping at the Kmart in Astor Place felt when it opened in 1996. Where there were once grown-over tracks, Friends of the High Line put one of the most talked-about, visited and culturally referenced parks in the world. Ramsey was talking about all of that, but underground, in a strange, ironbound space that could still be a park even when it rains.
Ramsey then showed us the technology he'd invented, by which he could harness actual sunlight through remote skylights and, through advanced optical technology, bring it to places previously inconceivable—its energy still powerful enough to allow photosynthesis to occur. It turned out this guy in flip-flops—the one I'd met in the kitchen talking knowledgeably about curing hams—had also worked as an engineer for NASA. Soon, he hoped, anyone would be able to walk three full city blocks underground—from New York's Clinton Street to Essex Street—while venturing through grass, trees, moss and sunshine. He and his cocreator, Dan Barasch, were going to make it happen. The Lowline. I thought it was just a kind of hyperbolic fiction, all that wine talking. But it made for an unforgettable dinner party.
The lingering impact of Ramsey's photos of those abandoned subterranean spaces is how they revealed a still-salvageable vestige of New York, something that hasn't yet been torn down and turned into the generic and the banal. It was like seeing a startlingly vivid apparition of an evanescent and vanished city that I still mourn the loss of, in a way. It was the New York of my coming of age in the late '70s and early '80s—the New York City of my generation.
'Anyone would be able to walk three full city blocks underground while venturing through grass, threes, moss and sunshine.'
It was living in a walk-up, with a decades-defunct buzzer. Friends hollering up from the street and you throwing the key down in a balled-up sock. In the sweltering summers you hung out on the fire escape, took cold showers in the tub in the kitchen and reached your wet hand through the curtain to turn off the burner under your hissing stove-top pot of Café Bustelo. In the booths at Jerry's 103 on Second Avenue, you met graffiti artists, studio artists and introverted writers who had daytime proofreading jobs and drove cabs at night and weird geeks who were screwing around with laser discs and sound mixers. You hauled lawn chairs onto the abandoned elevated train tracks at Tenth Avenue and 29th Street (where the High Line now runs) and had makeshift parties in the gravelly grown-over grasses on the trestle bridge, bathed in the orange-black air of urban nighttime.
I don't know if it was better, or if it was anyone else's ideal of the city, but it was this: uniquely itself. It was uncommon, gritty and urban. It felt like nowhere else in the country and was not easily mistaken for anywhere but New York City. The smartest, hungriest and freshest kids moved here to be a part of it. To meet others like themselves. To shape it.
And this drive was the other unmistakable, lingering feeling I'd gotten from Ramsey and his laptop.
It may not have been like 30 years ago, when the cool kids who would shape the future met each other Monday nights at the Pyramid Club on Avenue A or, later, sobering up with blintzes and coffee at the Kiev as dawn broke. But Barasch, 36—the computer-game-playing ultra smartie, who'd worked at Google and also for New York City government and who can speak in easy, fluid paragraphs about "silos of knowledge" and "curating global intelligence"—had met Ramsey, 35, here in New York, through a friend. Their work reflects the politics and aesthetics of their generation's sensibility, which is all about being green, recycling, repurposing and community building through technology. But the connection to my generation—and to all New Yorkers, both permanent and transient—is that Ramsey and Barasch's inclination toward technology, green space and community stands tall, but not so tall as to cast in shadow their dedication to art, the urban and the gritty.
"New York is a city that doesn't fetishize its own history," says Ramsey, "which is a good thing, or else it would feel like Charleston, Boston or Philadelphia—captured in amber." "But in the absence of cool, edgy initiatives like this one," observes Barasch, "what's left to move in is 7-11 and big box stores."
Aboveground, the neighborhood around Delancey Street is about to change dramatically. The city's Economic Development Corporation is finally moving forward with the Seward Park project—over 1.5 million square feet of mixed-use, who-knows-what's-coming development. The request for a proposal has been called, deadlines set. Because of this, what happens directly beneath that area, in the forgotten underground, starts to become very interesting.
IN THE INTERVENING couple of years since that summertime dinner party, Ramsey and Barasch's vision of the Lowline has become anything but fiction. There's been a Kickstarter campaign backed by 3,000 supporters. The $150,000 they raised online financed a full-scale model, with working remote skylights and parabolic dishes, which the duo and their dedicated team exhibited for a month. The campaign paid for a robust engineering study in concert with Arup—the design group behind such successes as the Sydney Opera House. There's been legal vetting; a budget and a business plan; and endorsements from community board #3, the City Council, the State Assembly and the New York State Senate. What they most need now—apart from the $55 million it will take to build—is for the MTA to let them have the space.
It may take another 5 years, or 10, but the Lowline, with its even spread of political, financial and community support, is poised to become the New Yorkiest thing to happen to New York City since the Double-Dutch tournament at the Apollo Theatre. The Lowline—smart, edgy and unique—is one of those Only–in–New York ideas, a resuscitation of the near-dead truth that New York City is a city like no other. And they won't have to tear anything down to prove it.

Regeneron's (REGN) has gained 80% so far this year, but in the what have you done for me lately world of the stock market, it's what it will do tomorrow that matters. RBC's Adnan Butt, Michael Yee and team explain what will be moving the stock during the next three to 24 months:
In the near term (3–6 months) REGN shares are likely to be driven by Eylea's sales potential and guidance; in the medium term (6–12 months) by Eylea in DME, Eylea single-injection combinations, and alirocumab data; and in the long term (12-24 months) by pipeline news flow, which includes alirocumab (LDLcholesterol), sarilumab (rheumatoid arthritis), and dupilumab (asthma; atopic dermatitis), all of which target potential blockbuster indications and at least two of which could have peak sales potentially in the $2–3B+ range with room for upside.
Regeneron has dropped 3% to $299.43 at 1:32 p.m, the biggest drop among the S&P 500′s biotech companies. followed by Amgen's (AMGN) 2.1% drop to $110.50, Gilead Sciences' (GILD) 1.7% decline to $61.95, Celgene's (CELG) 1.7% fall to $154.57 and Vertex Pharmaceuticals' (VRTX) 1.6% fall to $75.96.

Caring for Your Introvert - Jonathan Rauch - The AtlanticCaring for Your Introvert - Jonathan Rauch - The Atlantic: "If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that you have an introvert on your hands—and that you aren't caring for him properly. Science has learned a good deal in recent years about the habits and requirements of introverts. It has even learned, by means of brain scans, that introverts process information differently from other people (I am not making this up). If you are behind the curve on this important matter, be reassured that you are not alone. Introverts may be common, but they are also among the most misunderstood and aggrieved groups in America, possibly the world."

The noise threshold defines an upper bound for the channel noise, up to which the probability of lost information can be made as small as desired. Using iterative belief propagation techniques, LDPC codes can be decoded in time linear to their block length."
Reed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaReed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In coding theory, Reed–Solomon (RS) codes are non-binary[1] cyclic error-correcting codes invented by Irving S. Reed and Gustave Solomon. They described a systematic way of building codes that could detect and correct multiple random symbol errors. By adding t check symbols to the data, an RS code can detect any combination of up to t erroneous symbols, or correct up to ⌊t/2⌋ symbols. As an erasure code, it can correct up to t known erasures, or it can detect and correct combinations of errors and erasures. Furthermore, RS codes are suitable as multiple-burst bit-error correcting codes, since a sequence of b + 1 consecutive bit errors can affect at most two symbols of size b.[2] The choice of t is up to the designer of the code, and may be selected within wide limits."

Optimal substructure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaOptimal substructure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In computer science, a problem is said to have optimal substructure if an optimal solution can be constructed efficiently from optimal solutions of its subproblems. This property is used to determine the usefulness of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms for a problem.[1]"
Dynamic programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaDynamic programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Optimal substructure means that the solution to a given optimization problem can be obtained by the combination of optimal solutions to its subproblems. Consequently, the first step towards devising a dynamic programming solution is to check whether the problem exhibits such optimal substructure. Such optimal substructures are usually described by means of recursion. For example, given a graph G=(V,E), the shortest path p from a vertex u to a vertex v exhibits optimal substructure: take any intermediate vertex w on this shortest path p. If p is truly the shortest path, then the path p1 from u to w and p2 from w to v are indeed the shortest paths between the corresponding vertices (by the simple cut-and-paste argument described in Introduction to Algorithms). Hence, one can easily formulate the solution for finding shortest paths in a recursive manner, which is what the Bellman-Ford algorithm or the Floyd-Warshall algorithm does.

Buy their music on insound
North Highlands formed in Brooklyn in the early summer of 2009. The group originally followed the vision of singer and principle songwriter Brenda Malvini. Her shy demeanor and exclusive dedication to bedroom sets for audiences of her closest friends kept her relatively unknown until friend and DIY promoter Ric Leichtung declared that he had booked her a show in little over a month. With five short weeks, in the midst of the lazy sun and the honking of taco trucks, Malvini collected a small group of musician friends to help give life to her sketches. What ensued in the weeks to follow took on a life of its own, eventually becoming North Highlands.
Though North Highlands hails from Brooklyn, their music is most easily placed among the baroque and americana indie folk of the Mid and Northwestern states. Though at the heart of the music is Brenda's swooning vocals and minimalist piano composition, the music is an amalgam of the each members' unique stylistic approaches. Mike Barron's guitar, though hinting of the twang of indie folk tradition, most closely compares to the methodical and explosive playing found in post rock. Jasper Berg and Andy Kasperbauer, on drums and bass respectively, mix traditional rock rhythms with those of South Africa and the West Indies. Multi-instrumentalist Daniel Stewart adds perhaps the most important element to the music: his weeping violin and pulsing mandolin playing add the Baroque to North Highland's music, giving the music on a whole the impression of chamber orchestra versus traditional rock quintet.

I've started working on a project that depends on some of the code generation features of r6rs-protobuf (by way of a
build-aux helper script) and I realized it's been handling library generation all wrong, at least for multi-.proto builds. The source of the trouble was my decision to map a Protocol Buffers
package directly to an R6RS library. That's a fine choice if you can be sure that you know about all declarations of that package, but in a lot of cases, you don't -- for example, when you're applying the compiler to each .proto file in a list. Each file might re-declare that package for its own set of definitions, and since R6RS libraries are effectively immutable -- unlike Java packages or C++ namespaces -- you'll wind up generating a bunch of mutually conflicting libraries that share the same name.
So I've made a new release that changes that behavior. Going forward, the library generator will create a library per top-level definition in each package and name that library accordingly. There'll be a lot more libraries generated, but they'll actually be usable. Get it here.

Besides into Japanese Heroes...I'm a SW 12" fan. Other than a few bad face sculpts, i simply love the dolls' costume and the scale of the figures.
How do you guys display your figures?
Just to share my collection with the 12" community... click
Just got my hands on the Garindan and Lando Wave from US... by the way, i'm from Singapore and to get the SW12" figures here is so difficult.
Having some difficulty to fit all of them into the cabinet... thought of "freeing" them from their boxes but my wife prefers them in the boxes!!!
Hope to see the community contribute to this thread by sharing with us the way you display your Star Wars collection.

Periodic table
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Periodic Table of Elements (also called the "Sometimes Table" or "Occasional Table") can refer to any piece of furniture containing all 118 elements as long as it is periodically a table. Since 118 is such a large number, many scientists and other individuals pride themselves in memorizing every element in a periodic table, though few people find this impressive at all.
Memorizing the periodic table
Method 1
One method of memorizing the periodic table involves first taking all the elements' atomic symbols and arranging them in order based on atomic number. Next, simply create a mnemonic with each word containing an atomic symbol (For example, hydrogen's atomic symbol is H, so the first word in the mnemonic could be Harold). A classic example of this method containing all 118 elements is provided below:
Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon, Sodium (Na), Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium (K), Calcium, Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron (Fe), Cobalt, Nickel, Copper (Cu), Zinc, Gallium, Germanium, Arsenic, Selenium, Bromine, Krypton, Rubidium, Strontium, Yttrium, Zirconium, Niobium, Molybdenum, Technetium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Silver (Ag), Cadmium, Indium, Tin (Sn), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium, Iodine, Xenon, Cesium, Barium, Lanthanum, Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium, Ytterbium, Lutetium, Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten (W), Rhenium, Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, Gold (Au), Mercury (Hg), Thallium, Lead (Pb), Bismuth, Polonium, Astatine, Radon, Francium, Radium, Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium, Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Copernicium, Ununtrium, Flerovium, Ununpentium, Livermorium, Ununseptium, and Ununoctium
Recite this phrase a few times, and you'll find yourself learning the periodic table in no time.
Method 2
Songs. They're how we learn our ABCs (the alphabet song), our Do, Re, Mi's (Do, a deer), and the various mechanical parts included in modern buses and the unique onomatopoeic sounds produced by them (The Wheels on the Bus). Thus, Tom Leher decided to create a song about the elements to help people remember the periodic table. Just click on the video below and start singing along. The song's slow pace and easy to remember lyrics will have you spitting out the elements in no time.

Everyone needs a good, full-sized upright or canister vacuum cleaner for big jobs, like weekly whole-house cleaning or for giving your carpet a thorough, deep vacuuming. However, when you have a smaller mess, like a dry spill of flour or rice in the kitchen, or a coating of cat hair on the cushions, it's nice to be able to reach for something small and light -- which is why handheld vacuums are so popular.
There are two basic types of handheld vacuums: cordless, which run on rechargeable batteries, and corded, which plug into a wall outlet. These small gadgets are good not just for spot-cleaning, but also for accessing places that can be a challenging reach for the larger accessories on full-sized vacuums, or for dealing with areas where hauling a large vacuum is cumbersome, like vacuuming stairs. Portable vacuums are also great for cleaning cars, boats and for using in RV's. The best handheld vacuums will have either a nozzle that acts as a crevice tool for getting into small spaces, or onboard accessories that include a crevice tool. Many have hoses and specialized brushes for dusting. The best also can rotate or angle to clean hard-to-reach items like ceiling fans.
Cordless handheld vacuum cleaners are more versatile because they're not restricted by cord length or access to a wall socket. That means you can move from room to room to pick up small messes or pet hair without having to unplug the vacuum and plug it back in each time. Portable cordless vacuums typically run between 10 and 30 minutes on a single charge. Recharging can take 4 hours or more for a full charge. Some cordless hand vacs don't have replaceable batteries; when its battery finally loses the ability to hold a charge, you just have to toss the vacuum away and buy a new one. However that's not as big a negative as it might seem; even if the battery is replaceable, a new one can cost more than a new handheld vacuum itself.
One more thing to know about cordless handheld vacuums is that they use one of two types of batteries. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, which are the older technology, are heavier and should be fully discharged before recharging to avoid "memory effect," which can prevent the batteries from being charged to their full capacity. If you see user comments regarding a hand vac no longer holding a charge, this is a likely culprit.
Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) batteries are the other, newer technology. They aren't susceptible to memory effect, can hold a charge longer between uses, and are more environmentally friendly. The other key difference is that with NiCd technology, the power level drops as the battery drains, which means that you may have very strong vacuum performance for the first 5 to 10 minutes, but then less and less until the battery finally runs down and needs to be recharged. With a Li-ion battery, full power is maintained until the battery runs out of juice. While Li-ion-powered hand vacs look to have some significant advantages, the trade-off is that portable vacuums with lithium-ion batteries are more expensive, sometimes significantly more.
Corded hand vacuums typically have power cords between 12 and 25 feet long, and those with longer cords tend to receive better feedback from both professional reviewers and owners. Corded models aren't limited on run time, they vacuum for as long as you need them to. For some cleaning tasks like stairs or an automobile, you may need an extension cord. We saw more complaints about a corded vacuum seeming heavy, even if it weighs less than comparable cordless vacuums, which leads us to conclude that there is a fatigue factor in using even a relatively lightweight handheld vacuum for a longer period of time.
Car vacuums are 12-volt vacuums that plug into your car's cigarette lighter or 12-volt accessory socket to provide a steady stream of juice while you clean up your car. A good car vacuum will also have a long, narrow crevice tool for slipping between the seats -- a popular hiding place for dropped foods -- and a dusting brush for pulling dust and hair out of the vents.
Of course, a handheld vacuum won't be suitable for all cleaning jobs. Most people need a good upright vacuum, which we cover in our separate report on vacuum cleaners, for whole-house cleaning and digging deep to pull dirt and debris out of pile carpet. Canister vacuums use slender wands that can reach farther into tight spaces, like under beds, while stick vacuums are great to have around for maintaining a hardwood or tile floor on a day-to-day basis, or for cleaning up spot messes without having to stoop. If you need something a bit more heavy-duty, see our shop vac report for a top portable option.
Portable vacuum cleaners get somewhat less coverage than other types of vacuums, but we found a few reviews that include testing at sites like ConsumerReports.org and TheSweetHome.com. Even more helpful were the thousands of owner reviews we analyzed at retail sites, such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Kohls.com, to name just a few. These user reviews give the best overview for how each handheld vacuum operates in real-world, long-term use. In evaluating these reviews, we consider performance on different flooring surfaces, pet-hair removal, features and attachments, and ease of use and durability to help you find the best portable vacuum for your cleaning needs.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z280
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cameras, Features, Family, Women, Men, Under $250
Casio rocks it this year with the Exilim Zoom EX-Z280 digital camera, and we like it enough that we are recommending it in this years gift guide. It sports a dedicated Easy Mode, making it easy enough for pretty much anyone who enjoys pressing buttons to operate, while still maintaining the advanced features for more experienced pros, including ones that you don't typically find on budget-priced digital cameras. One such feature is mechanical (instead of digital) image stabilization, giving you nice clear shots while you stumble around during a holiday party after one-too-many eggnogs, as well as a 4x optical zoom lens. In addition, it shoots video in 720p, so it can even take the place of your Flip-style camcorder. You can grab one now for $173 on Amazon.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Sony Alpha DSLR-A330
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cameras, Men, Techies
This Sony Alpha A330 DSLR camera is lightweight, and pleasing to the eye what with it's copper-and-black finish. This one hits 10 megapixels, and sits nicely in the space between uber-cameras for the pros and the dead-simple point and shoots. The Sony Alpha A330 boasts a 2.7-inch pullout LCD display that is posable (great for working with difficult angles,) and the image stabilization and autofocus are there to help with getting the perfect shot. Even cooler? You can get short tutorials of the different settings and effects right on the screen itself. A camera that teaches you, so you can learn as you go. The Sony Alpha A300 with 18-55mm lens sells for $599, but Amazon has it for just $549, a nice $50 discount.

We loved this! Couldn't be easier. Next time I will double the apples, bump up the batter by 50% and cook it for half the time. I took it out of the oven 10 minutes early and it was still overdone. And still delicious!
When I first read this recipe, I thought "hmm..it doesn't sound like the cake ingredients are sufficient to cover a 10" skillet." And sure enough, they were not. So I very quickly made another batch of dough. It's in the oven right so fingers crossed.
@ A cook from Lisbon, Tarte Tatin has more of a pie pastry crust and is not baked in the oven, except to brown the crust. This is more "cakey" and very delicious.
Tastes like something my grandma would make. Great way to use up extra apples. Tt looks really elegant when its turned upside down even though its a simple dish. I used a buttermilk pancake mix for the cake and was delicious. Would consider using dark brown sugar and making for brunch sometime.
I thought I died and went to heaven, when I doubled the topping ingredients and make this cake. It was more like carmeled apples. This was delicious when served warm with whipped cream. (or Cool Whip) YUM YUM !!
This cake was excellent and very quick and easy. I used Fuji apples because I had them and it was delicious. I served warm with cinnamon ice cream and it was a real hit.
amazing!!!!! needs a crunck though so i thought to put pecans and semi crushed graham crakers on the batter and baked it amazing!!!! i think i am also going to do more of the syrup on the bottom so that it is evenly soaked up by the cake!!mmh mmh good!!!
This was delicious, although it lacked structural stability! I wasn't sure how many apples made the right weight, so I used 6. 3-4 would probably be about right! I would also make 1 1/2 recipe for the biscuit portion. I followed the advice to add dark rum (3 Tbsp) and extra spices to both apples and biscuit (cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger). Very good. In the future, I'll serve it in the cast iron skillet for an easier rustic presentation.
This was very quick and easy to make, maybe not my favorite apple dish but still pretty good. My husband and I thought it was better the second day.
We (four of us) all thought this was delicious. I did follow others' advice to add rum to the caramel topping, and spiced the apples with cinnamon, allspice and ginger. I also replaced some of the sugar in the cake with a little extra demerara and used 5oz buttermilk instead of 4. I put a timer on it and the cake came out of the pan almost perfectly, I had one little bit of apple that stayed behind, but it came out with only gentle persuasion. A dollop of creme fraiche was just right on top. It was also excellent cold, the next day for breakfast, and again for dessert.

Shares of Intel (INTC) this afternoon got their first downgrade following last night's terrible Q1 personal computer estimates by Gartner and IDC, with Argus Research's Jim Kelleher cutting his rating to Hold from Buy, writing "The accelerating decline in PC sales looms as too severe a negative to be overcome by Intel's core strengths, in our view, at least in the intermediate term."
Kelleher cut his 2013 GAAP EPS estimate to $1.89 from $1.92, and cut his 2014 outlook to $20.4 from $2.14.
Kelleher is concerned not only about unit declines in PCs, but also about the shift in relative standing of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and China's Lenovo (0992HK), with both reports showing the two neck and neck in PC sales worldwide:
Market share shifts could also impact Intel's margins. H-P reportedly lost share to Lenovo, which has heavy consumer exposure in developing markets. H-P, while also selling consumer machines, has a strong enterprise IT presence in PCs. Relative weakening in H-P's position, and slack enterprise demand overall (attributed to the disliked Windows 8 operating system) does not bode well for Intel's overall margins. Also in the enterprise market, virtualization and cloud are optimizing data management and tempering device demand even as data growth continues.
Kelleher also notes the imminent retirement of Intel CEO Paul Otellini, and the uncertain succession plan as a risk to shares:
Intel also faces a looming leadership change. The company has not yet found a successor to CEO Paul Otellini, perceived as having failed to transition Intel more smoothly into tablets and smart devices. We believe Intel remains by far the best play not only in microprocessors but in the PC space in general. However, we would like to see a re-set in INTC's share price to the upper teens before becoming constructive on the stock once more.
Intel shares today declined 44 cents, or 2%, to close at $21.82.

Northwoods Author Publishes Mystery Thriller
Submitted: 01/17/2013
Ben Meyer
Managing Editor / Senior Reporter
- If you judge this book by its cover, you can guess that it's a mystery thriller set in the Northwoods.
Presque Isle's Kevin McCullough is a DNR forester by day.
But he's a fiction author by night.
"For Sauter, the whole eerie scene was more than he could bear. He wanted to go and comfort the child, but his temples were rocked by a mad pounding. Once again, he felt his eyes squeezing shut and his fists squeezing into balls," McCullough reads, a passage from his book.
That sets the tone for McCullough, writing under the pen name K.R. Mack.
"Treehouse" is the first book he's published.
"It's set in a fictional town in northern Wisconsin, so people recognize some of the backgrounds and some of the characters even though they're fictional," McCullough says.
The book follows a Northwoods detective's investigation of a string of children found hanged under a treehouse.
We won't give away the end, but will tell you it turns into a fast-paced mystery thriller.
Besides just the writing, McCullough had to teach himself to be his own publisher.
"It was a long, lengthy process. The challenge is defintely there, because there's nobody else to blame anything on when it goes wrong. It's all on your lap," he says.
"Treehouse" is available in both paperback and as an e-book.
Follow the links below to read the first chapters and buy the book.

Black bears waking up from hibernation, DNR reminds people to remove outdoor food sources
Submitted: 04/28/2017

- USDA Wildlife Services relocates more than 500 black bears in Wisconsin every year.
Bears can cause a lot of damage, especially when they've just woken up from hibernation.
The DNR receives more than 800 nuisance calls for bears each year.
"They're opportunistic, looking for any food sources out there, grills, bird feeders, any garbage cans anything like that," said DNR wildlife damage specialist Brian Koele.
Koele says it's important bears don't get acclimated to humans.

Three Lakes High School students turn a class project into a business using fab lab
Submitted: 04/28/2017
Play Video
- Childhood friends are no business partners thanks to a class project.
Three students used their Three Lakes Fab Lab to make a septic tank screen hose, which helps stops clogs.
They haven't graduated high school yet, but a company in Illinois is already manufacturing their product.
Three Lakes High School students Tom Stuckart, Jack Connelly and Stephen Gensler had the idea of making their screen hose last summer and started making the prototype when school started in September.
"It's amazing what a little bit of hard work can actually get you. The community has been awesome supporting us and things like that.
Just having the opportunity to come here and speak is awesome," said Stuckart.
On Thursday their business JTS Waste products became official as an LLC.
They presented their business at the Annual Oneida County Economic Development Committee meeting in Rhinelander today.

By now the skies were clear and it was still only 63 degrees out. The weather couldn't have been better when I pulled into Greg and Shelley's driveway.
Saturday afternoon most of the cars were at the big show out at the Travis County Expo Center, but there were a good number of cool cars on South Congress when we arrived. Some of the cars wouldn't have been eligible for the show as it is for 1963 and older cars and bikes
The party was at Dona Emilia's on the corner of Cesar Chavez and San Jacinto in downtown Austin. Of course there was no parking and were drove around awhile before landing in a parking lot a few blocks away. Dona Emilia's serves South American cuisine and was something different. It was great seeing everyone and the food was different and delicious. It got a bit loud at my end of the table and was hard to hear at times, but we had a good old time.
Most of us headed for South Congress to see what was on the street. Some of our group wanted to go to the Continental Club, but I knew it would be impossible to get in! We parked way up past the Magnolia Caf� and passed many cool cars on the way to the Continental, which on this night was the epicenter of cool.
We stopped off on the way to tour a multi-level dwelling that one of the guys is involved in the construction of. The views from the balconies were really nice and I was able to take some cool photographs of the South Congress scene. There was a real tricked out small old Ford school bus on the corner and a grungy Model A coupe around the corner with a Chrysler Hemi motor with a rusty old Cadillac air cleaner atop it
There was a long line outside the Continental Club for Southern Culture On The Skids. They were playing the last night of a five-day stand at the club. We could see inside the packed house as we walked by the door. Outside the club we ran into Mark and Scott and a group of guys drinking beer on the sidewalk and watching the cars go by. Mark asked, "you just can't stay away from here can you?"
I told him, "No, I can't!" It had been only two weeks since we were together on this street during South By Southwest.
No problem getting into the Gallery upstairs where there was a hot-rod art on the walls. The band was taking a break when we arrived and soon we were blown away by the Mike Flanigin Trio with Derek O'Brien on guitar. I leaned against the wall about three steps away from Derek O'Brien and was amazed by his incredibly cool sounds. I also was able to get a close up view of Mike Flanigin playing the Hammond B-3 organ. There was no bass player, just Mike playing the bass pedals of the organ with his feet. We saw them play for over an hour and I think they played four songs! It was almost one-thirty when we decided we ought to walk back to the car and go home.
The next morning almost everyone from the night before showed up at Greg and Shelley's for brunch before heading home. It was great talking to everyone again and some folks that I didn't get to talk to the night before. I pulled out at 12:35 and made it home about 4:20.

50 Calories for a slice? Not bad. AND it's not a little itty-bitty piece of bread. It's size a bread that is comparable to glutenous breads. The loaf could be easily confused with that of "real bread" See...
When Bonnie, the owner/founder, was diagnosed with a wheat allergy, she started baking from her home kitchen (with an old 1960's mixer from her Mom). In 1994, she started selling at local farmers markets.
In the beginning, her products were mainly wheat free, and she did a bit of gluten free on the side. However, due to growing gluten free demand and increasing customer requests, the gluten free side of her business began to outpace the wheat free side. She moved from her kitchen to an actual bakery, and has kept her focus on high quality ingredients and excellent customer service the whole time.
By the time the bakery was moved to the the mountains of Western North Carolina in 2007, Smart Treat was 100% gluten free (with a dedicated facility).
GFB: Do you plan on getting your products on store shelves?
During those early 'farmers market' years, Bonnie developed a relationship with a regional heath food grocery to carry some of her items on their shelves. Based mainly on reputation and customer requests, the 'on the store shelf' side of the business has continued to grow. Currently, Smart Treat items are in a number of specialty and allergen-free groceries here and there across the country.
What are your most popular items?
It's funny that you ask, because Bonnie has seen product categories come and go over the years -- even flavor profiles go through trend cycles.
Right now, our "Brittle Bars" (made from a base of organic sunflower seeds and organic pumpkin seeds, with lots of different yummy add-ins for each flavor) are especially hot. Granola (eaten as a breakfast cereal or as a dry snack) and the Smart Bite Cookies have also been a consistently strong sellers.
GFB: I can see why, the brittle is delicious!
Fruit flavors are big (ie Apricot-Raspberry Krispie Bars, all of the fruit Tartlets, Cranberry-Walnut Granola), and of course (you are a woman, you know this...) chocolate-anything NEVER goes out of style.
GFB: Haha...you are so right!
However, it's the bread (7 flavors to choose from) that we receive the most "WOW" customer comments on. For many families, excellent gluten free bread choices are a weekly staple, and our 24 oz loaves are the biggest/best in the industry. (Most other gluten free breads are 12 oz for about $6, and made in industrial factories.) Smart Treat's 24 oz loaf means that each slice is as tall and wide as a 'normal bread' slice, and at $5.49, the value can't be beat. Let's face it, allergen-free eating can be expensive -- and the excellent value of our bread is very important to many of our customers.
Do you have a good gluten free baking tip you can share with my readers?
YES! Bonnie has found that starting with best ingredients (we use organic whenever possible) is the key to excellent end results. Also, Smart Treat bakes based on customer orders (we are not a mass production facility) so everything is as fresh as possible when we ship it out. Brian, who is trained as a chef, is our Master Baker, and he pours lots of energy into making each item artisan quality.
We also have some customers reporting that they use the Smart Bite cookies (the little addictive ones) as the base for pie crusts. Simple -- smash up the cookies, add some butter as a binder, and press to the bottom of a pie plate.
GFB: That's genius...those cookies a perfect for flavorful pie crusts. Yum!
So now that you know a little bit more about Smart Treat, wanna try some? Three lucky winners will each receive one product of their choice on the house. Here's the rules:

Hi Jolly Jabberers!
I'm so excited to be back with you today to talk about my new book, With Fabric & Thread! This has been a wonderful journey and challenge for me, as I got to combine my passion of quilting and sewing in one spiral-bound treasure! My hope for you is that you are inspired to make all of the projects in my book, whether you come from a quilting or sewing background. And you WILL be able to make them all!
To start it off, I have included a very in-depth introduction to talk about the basics of quilting and sewing. From tools to techniques, it is all covered. In the sewing basics, I've even mentioned my must-have hemostats (yes, you read that right!).
The 20+ projects include practical items you will use in your home - lunch sacks, floor mats, aprons, pillows and more, in addition to several beautiful quilts. I have even included a section for each project that shows both sewing and quilting construction, so you can choose the method you prefer!
A few of my favorites from the book include my vintage-inspired Dear Betty Apron (child and adult sizes included) and Summer Soiree Patchwork quilt.
I can't resist the flirty little skirt on the apron, can you?
For my Summer Soiree Patchwork quilt, which came to Market with me, I got to play with my color palette! I love how well the bright, contemporary colors work with my Fig Tree colors. More than anything I wanted to show that it is possible to mix the two! Oh, but then there's also the All Dressed Up Pillow and Audrey Tote and Cherry Blossom Quilt and Strawberries and Cream Table Runner... well, you see my dilemma!
I hope you fall in love with With Fabric & Thread. I am so looking forward to seeing how you stretch your abilities in sewing and quilting with these projects! Thanks to Kimberly for inviting me talk to you about my book!

About Edelbrock Parts & Accessories
Vic Edelbrock Sr. was born in a small farming community near Wichita, Kansas in 1913. In 1938, Vic Sr. bought his first project car... a 1932 Ford Roadster. This car was a turning point in Edelbrock history. It was Vic Sr.'s entry into the world of "hot rods" and it inspired the design and manufacture of the first Edelbrock intake manifold. The roadster became an important part of Vic's product development. He would install his parts on the roadster to determine how well they would perform. Vic received multiple requests for his twin carb manifold. This was the driving force behind the opening of his own performance parts business. Today Edelbrock Corporation has seven locations: four in Torrance and three in San Jacinto, California, totaling over 500,000 square feet. Torrance Headquarters include: R&D; manufacturing; state-of-the-art testing facilities, advertising and tech support. "Proven Performance" is the philosophy that began with Vic Sr. in 1938 and it continues today with the same high standards of performance and quality. Vic Sr. would be proud of what has grown out of his small garage in Los Angeles, California.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Is it just me or does the 1:31 mark of the first clip show Darth Maul in Mandalorian armor? And I thought bringing him back from the dead was dumb! I mean, it's not totally clear, but the armor is painted red and black and has horns protruding from the helmet and it's apparent that he is working with the Death Watch so....
Edit: Statement retracted, in my haste (I didn't even finish the clip before posting) I failed to notice that Obi-Wan seems to be wearing the same armor later in the clip, so maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo
Thanks to TheDarthVader, Phantom-like Menace, TheRealDubya, Jediguy, Dark Marble, Umbra, Qui-Long Gone, CrunchyNug, GH_fan and jedikiss.
Looking at that still more closely, the horns don't match up with Maul's, so I think it's probably a Mandalorian that follows Maul instead of Maul in armor. I don't know how it goes down but it seems that the red-clad warriors are with Maul and the blue Death Watch are with Pre Vizsla, perhaps after their partnership goes sour.

Usually the easiest way is to take the SD card out of the Arduino and attach it to your PC through an SD card reader. Some PCs come with SD slots and if your's doesn't you can buy a USB SD card reader for well under $20.
... was wondering if I can use the log file that I can create using the terminal program "Putty" and just appending to it for each cycle would work. If so, I'm not sure how to designate the serial.write be directed to Putty (com1) and not the serial monitor in the Arduino user interface (com5).

advagoto.org - Please delete my account
1) You do not know me.
2) Miguel isn't included because I couldn't find his e- mail
3) I am frustrated.
I have recently tried to become certified at advagoto.org so that I could participate in the improvement of open source code. I have been told that this is ``a closed, elitist site''.(Eric Raymond).
4) I am NOT a spammer or a troll, but I might be one of those annoyances that you mentioned in the `Trust Metric'.
I was under the impression that the purpose of becoming certified was to keep Troll's out, but allow most anyone else in. Again, I was mistaken because I was told

> (a) know a member well, or

I thought from the mission statement on the page
"What makes the system interesting is that it's attack resistant. If a bunch of attackers were to create lots of accounts and mutually certify each other, only a very few would be accepted by the trust metric,"
that the purpose was to keep trouble out, and allow in even inexperienced programmers willing to help with the project. I am sorry that I am mistaken. I am an experienced programmer but I guess I will follow my lone path.
Since Sam wanted in to help, and I was here to check the site out, I do NOT speak for Sam, but I suspect that he would like to be allowed in and do some good, so if you think it would be ok, please allow Sam in.
As for me, I looked for a way to delete my account, but one did not exist so would you delete me from the rolls. It seems that you didn't allow for that in your web page.

Matching Weight of Rod and Reel Important??
I am back visiting family in Oregon and brought my relatively new 5 wt. St. Croix setup and noticed that sometime between fishing the Hams Fork (on the drive over) and fishing the Grand Ronde that my reel broke.
My father in law, being an awesome guy, gave me an old Scientific Anglers System 8 (made in England by Hardy Bros Ltd.). Its a really well cared for reel and is nicer than the one that came with my Premier setup, but it's an 8 wt. I put the St. Croix's 5 wt. line on the reel but I want to know if the differences in the weights of the rod(5 wt.)/reel (8 wt.)/line(5 wt.) will hamper my fishing?? I am pretty new to fly fishing and don't want to make life harder on myself than the typical loss of flies, snagging line, breaking line, hooking myself, slipping and falling in rivers and missing bites.
Thanks you very much,
the eight wt reel may be a bit heavy for the 5 wt rod.if the rod and reel are out of balance it will affect affect your casting stroke and could lead to a bit of fatigue. perhaps one of the premier casters on the forum could chime in.
*far from a "premier" caster*
The setup will more than likely be fairly awkward and will lack the proper balance. In my opinion it would be far better if you learned to cast the right way with a balanced setup.
Other disadvantages could be the excess backing capacity,because any more than 100 yards is more than overkill for whatever you'd expect to hook on a five weight. I have never used that model and I'm not to certain about the drag system which might not be light enough for the more delicate application that a five weight would typically be used for.
The bottom line is that you could use if you want to, but it could be hazardous to your ability to adapt to using other rods or even learning to cast proficiently.
Another aspect of rod/reel balance often overlooked is balance for fishing.
When a reel is heavy it forces the tip upward. When rod tip is held high there is potential for a lot of slack and poor hook setting. If you are fishing a strip retrieve (e.g. stripers) you will want to keep the rod tip close to the water. Thus your muscles will have to hold that rod tip down to the water against it's will over a day, weekend or vacation.
The nuisance factor is even more emphasized with two-handed rods because of the extra leverage required to hold the tip down. Since the swing is the majority of the action required to fish, this can be a real pain in the butt and quite tiring too.
Back to casting for a minute -
Ideally I will feel the load in the rod as it increases and releases and not much else. When the reel is heavy it tends to deaden that sensation to the wrist - perhaps because the wrist and arm are having to use muscles to maintain the casting path vertically against gravity as well as front-back.
Proper rod/reel balance just feels good all-around. I wouldn't say it's critical, but once you got it you'll never go back that's for sure!
Wow! A Valid Reason to Buy A New Reel!
Don't pass this up.
Reels are, to me, the most wonderful of all fly-fishing gear. A good rod is a bit like a favorite dog, you love them to death, but they don't live very long. Sooner or later rods wear out, get superceded by better graphite formulations, or snap off in some misadventure.
Reels, on the other hand, are forever. They become heirlooms; rarely can you wear out a quality reel to the point where it cannot be repaired. Any chance or excuse to purchase a new reel, whether to balance a light outfit, to fish saltwater, to have that back-up spare, to collect a treasure, or whatever, should be acted on if at all possible.
Quality reels, and you should buy quality whenever you can, only appreciate. Reel design should factor into your choice. There are many styles to choose from -- from space age, gadgety things to the classic form of the Perfects and the Bogdans. Chosing a style is a matter of aethestics; find something that pleases your eye in the weight range you need for that five weight.
Buy that reel, when and if you can. You won't be sorry and you'll have a life-time pleasure from using it.
-- Eric
If I recall correctly, the old SA System 8 reel is the same as the Hardy Marquis 8/9 which is a 3-5/8" inch reel -not all that big really as far as an 8 weight reel goes.
The Hardy Marquis (and lightweights) are my favorite reels. I use perfects and others, but there's something about these reels that just makes them feel right in my hands -more so than any other reel.
You can certainly use it on your #5 rod and I bet it wont feel too awkward since they're a light reel. I'd probably pass though if you don't intend to get a larger rod.
I imagine this reel would match well with a #7 rod which would probably be nice for fishing streamers in WY as well as for any trips you make in the NW for summer-run steelhead.
If you're not looking to get a larger rod, than I'd probably pass and look to find a reel that's better suited to your rod. My favorite reel for a #5 rod would be the Hardy LRH.
There's enough opinions already, but it won't keep me from commenting too! :)
The reel is too heavy for that rod. It's very important to balance the rod and reel for optimum casting.
Roger's right!!!
I did however learn more about aquatic insects from my father in law (he's a biologist), saw a fawn nursing on its mother and harvested some boletus mushrooms. Both days were perfect.
I would love to upgrade my reel to something new and beautiful, but after this experience I can't justify the expense. I really love gear (my bikes and snowboards can prove that) but I entered fly fishing from a different perspective: I want to hunt my own food. I want to be meditative on water. I want simple, elegant experiences that contrast with the complexity of American culture. (but I bet one day my love of gear will win out and I'll be back on the forum asking advice of expensive reels :chuckle: )
Thank you all for your advice.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
great video
Hey guys,
I went back to "The Fly Shop" in Titusville where I bought the rods for my son and I to ask about what beginner's books he had. He sugested a video tape instead. The one he sugested is "The Art of Fly Casting with Chico Fernandez" I have to say that it is a very good tape. Well done and very easy to understand. A lot of the casting is done inside against a black background so the fly line is very visible and you can see exactly what it's doing.
I don't feel bad about paying to get into the learning curve. I just wish I'd done it many years ago when I had the chance. I remember once when I was in the second grade. Someone was going to give me a fishing rod. He had two of them. One was a spinning rod and reel. the other was a fly outfit. If I'd only taken the fly rod... how different life would be. Funny, I just remembered that too.
Rusty in Fla. <><
|Welcome to the forum Rusty. Two books i would strongly recomend are L.L. Bean's Ultimate Book of Flyfishing and the second edition of Tom Mcnally's "everything book" (can't quite remember the name). Hope they help.
What next?
Howdy folks,
I just looked up this forum and i'm trying to get in on the learning curve. I bought my son and I a couple of 8 wt. 9' combos from Scientific Angler a while back and we just got to use them last weekend. We went after some bluegills at a local state park. It took me a little while to get started but we caught a 1/2 dozen in about 2 hours. Not bad for the first time out, and I don't know when I've had a better time. I 've found out that the enjoyment is not in the catching... it's in the fishing.
I'm planing to take a clinic at a local dealer in the next few weeks. Can anyone sugest books or videos that would help a beginer?
Rusty <><
