Dear GOLEM team, let me congratulate you to the first plasma in GOLEM achieved in the frame of the Summer Training Course 2009. This success is a result of your enormous effort to put the GOLEM tokamak in operation during the period of about one year. I can confirm that the participants (students and supervisors) found the experiments performed yesterday extreemly interesting and enjoyed them very much.*
On behalf of the old CASTOR and new COMPASS team, Jan Stockel
First of all, we would like to express our gratitude for this remarkable opportunity. To perform a remote measurement on a tokamak, and to be part of such an international operation for the first time in our life, is way beyond our earlier expectations as physics students. We wish you luck for the future, and lots of plasma :)*
Andras Karman, Gergely Klujber, Mate Ferenczy and Peter Nemetvarga (BME Hungary)
Thanks for the operation! The lab exercise went perfectly well, and the students were really enjoying it.*
Gergo Pokol (superisor and teacher at HUNTRAIC)
I just wanted to thank you for coming in Cadarache to introduce us to the amazing work youve done with the GOLEM tokamak. It is fascinating to be able to work on such a device, and were really enjoying the possibility to make our very first discharges .. From all of us, thank you again.## References * [Dr. Gergo Pokol for HUNTRAIC (Training course for Budapest University of Technology and Economics)](pokol at reak.bme.hu) * [Dr. Remy Guirlet for FUMTRAIC (Training course for France Master students)](remy.guirlet at cea.fr) * [Dr. Jan Stockel for a lot of educational activities at the tokamak GOLEM (Institute of plasma physics, Czech Academy of Sciences)](stockel at ipp.cas.cz) ## Useful materials * [FUSENET (Fusion Education network) final report](/ShowRooms/AnnualReports/FUSENET/09-13GOLEM4Fusenet.pdf) ## Production issues * Contact: [Vojtech Svoboda](mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com) * Fee: a postcard sent from the town of remote measuremet to the GOLEM address: Brehova 7, 115 19, Prague 1, Czech republic

Surveillance video: Customer uses chair to fight off Starbucks robber

The Good Samaritan suffered a knife wound but is expected to recover
Dramatic surveillance video shows a battle between a knife-wielding armed robber wearing a Transformers mask and a brave customer swinging a chair at a California Starbucks Thursday.
The video (above) shows the suspect, identified as Ryan Flores by Fresno's KFSN, approaching the barista waving a toy gun and a plastic bag. Seconds later, he pulls out a knife.
That's when customer Cregg Jerri intervened, picking up a chair and slamming it down on the would-be robber's head. Flores fought back as the two men wrestled over the knife.
During the fight, Jerri was stabbed in the neck, but is expected to recover, KFSN reports. Jerri was eventually able to take the knife away from the suspect and stabbed Flores several times before he got away.
"It's not something we recommend. In this case it was a good outcome-- no one died as a result of this incident, but very well could have," Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer told the Fresno news station. "But nonetheless, he's a hero-- there's no question."
Fresno police found Flores nearby. He was treated for injuries before being taken into custody.

Her grandmother has to make her act and look like a princess before presenting her to the press and Genovia, so Mia has to go to classes everyday so her Grandmother can teach her what she needs to know. Life gets even harder as the days of her teen years go by. Everywhere she goes there is a at least one reporter wanting to know about Princess Amelia. When she thinks that life as she knows it has come to an end she finds a way to make everyone happier. She finds that whatever you look like on the outside is probably not what you are on the inside.
My favorite part of the story was when she finds out that she really was the Princess of Genovia. I liked this part because she thought life could not get any worse. It makes the story seem exciting and unpredictable. The second reason I liked this book is because it reminds me of my own life in a weird way. Different things just keep coming at you. You never know when it is going to stop. The last reason I liked this book was because the characters in the story were so different. There are so many different pesonalities tha tmake the story seem like the real world.
I strongly recommend this book because it is exciting and you can really compare this story with what is going on in your own life. I would like to recommend this book to anyone who likes stories that are unpredictable, sad, happy, and sponstaneous. This book is a fiction book that the author compares what is going on at any age.

She's gone blonde, brunette, even bald, but this is something we've never seen on Britney Spears before.
The pop star debuted teal, blue and hot pink tips over the weekend at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. And Spears must have been happy with how her My Little Pony-inspired mane came out because she decided to stick with the look, wearing it out in Calabasas, Calif., on Monday.
We're used to seeing this kind of bold 'do from her X Factor co-judge Demi Lovato, but Spears has been playing it relatively safe with her strands since joining the show, sticking with her signature blonde color.
So, we're a little surprised to see the singer sport such a funky hairstyle. That said, we have to give Spears props for trying something fresh (and having the style sense to rock her Technicolor mane with a simple LBD).
Lovato would surely love Spears's new locks. But with rumors once again swirling that Simon Cowell demanded Spears overhaul her wardrobe, we do have to wonder what the tough critic would say about this new look. Tell us: What do you think of Spears's bright hair?

Michigan Tech Sets Budget and Tuition
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
At its regular meeting in Houghton today, Michigan Technological University's Board of Trustees approved a general fund operating budget of nearly $155 million for fiscal year 2010, which began July 1.
The budget included tuition and room and board rates for the coming academic year.
• Undergraduate Michigan resident freshman tuition and fees will increase 5.45 percent or $19 per credit hour, to $11,347 per year.
• Undergraduate room and board will increase an average of 4.8 percent or $383 per year (based on shared living space and the most commonly chosen meal plan).
• Undergraduate tuition for out-of-state students will increase 5 percent or $36 per credit hour.
• Graduate tuition will increase 5 percent or $28 per credit hour.
The budget is based on revenues that include a 3 percent cut in state funding, totaling $1.5 million. Anticipated federal stimulus funds of $1.2 million will help to offset that reduction, but the stimulus funds are one-time revenue while the cut will be a permanent reduction in Michigan Tech's state funding base, Michigan Tech President Glenn D. Mroz told the Board. Mroz also explained that the budget features cost containment initiatives and budget reallocations, continuing a process begun in 2004.
To assist students who qualify for financial aid with the increased tuition, the budget includes $2 million of new financial aid in the form of scholarships, an 8 percent increase. Michigan Tech awarded $34 million in financial aid this year, a total of 35 percent of tuition.
The new budget also includes a 1.75 percent pool for across-the-board salary increases for all eligible employees.
"While we are certainly in challenging economic times, this budget extends our promise to our students to deliver the quality education they seek and deserve," said Mroz. "At the same time, it reflects our concern for the financial realities facing our students, and our efforts to manage Michigan Tech's business prudently in a challenging environment. We are enhancing quality while maintaining affordability and containing costs."
Board of Trustees Chair Russell Gronevelt commended Mroz and his team for "navigating Michigan Tech through turbulent economic waters. The Board members have affirmed their support of the University's strategic direction by approving this budget," he said, "and they are wholeheartedly committed to keeping the University positioned for continued growth and success."
Gronevelt also noted that,"The tuition increase reflects the rising cost of providing a world-class technological education, which is what our students come for. I am pleased that we have provided additional scholarship assistance to lessen the impact of the increase."
Mroz responded: "I am grateful to the Board of Trustees for their support of the Strategic Plan and the specific elements of the budget."
The Board also approved an update to the University's Strategic Plan. The new version affirms the University's direction and vision, established when the Strategic Plan was first adopted in 2006, and refines priority actions for the next several years.
In other action, the Board
• Gave final approval to a new PhD degree program in Applied Cognitive Science and Human Factors and new Bachelor of Science degrees in business specialties including Accounting, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing and Operations and Systems Management.
• Appointed Adrienne R. Minerick as an associate professor with tenure in the Department of Chemical Engineering. Minerick comes to Michigan Tech from Mississippi State University, where she was an assistant professor of chemical engineering and biomedical engineering. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Tech and her Master of Science and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame.
• Revised the University's equal opportunity policy to add the phrase "gender identity." The addition recognizes the concerns of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community on campus. It does not affect employment benefits.
• Reappointed David Brule, Kathryn Clark and Russell Gronevelt to the Michigan Tech Fund Board of Directors.
• Approved extending the Leading Scholar program to out-of-state students. The Leading Scholar program is the most competitive scholarship that Michigan Tech offers. Its goal is to attract academically outstanding students.
Michigan Technological University is a leading public research university, conducting research, developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 130 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering, forestry and environmental sciences, computing, technology, business and economics, natural and physical sciences, arts, humanities and social sciences.

Scott Family Dental
I am a dentist in Orem, Utah starting up a brand new practice. I am 28 years old and just graduated dental school this past June. I am married and have three kids. The practice I am starting up is in a professional plaza with other doctors and dentists, but the plaza is located in a residential area with no visibility from traffic. My sole exposure to potential clients besides insurance lists will be through advertisements such as mailers and a website.
There are a lot of dentists that treat patients like numbers, I am focusing my practice on providing personal care. Patient education will be a priority to help patients better understand the why and how of dentistry. My goal will to build trust with my clientele.
My main target is families. Any of you who have parents know that the moms make the decisions in the home, such as what dentist to go to. So by targeting families, I am in essence targeting young to middle-aged women. So something soft but trendy, catchy but not too flashy.
My target audience receives many advertisements from dentists such as mailers and online ads. I have heard on more than one occasion, here in Utah, someone complaining about all the mailers they get from dentists. I may be doing some mailers, but I need something that will set me apart from the other dozen mailers they will get that month.
My slogan for Scott Family Dental is 'something to smile about'. I am not set on having the slogan included in the design, but am not opposed to it either. Including all of "scott family dental something to smile about" may be too wordy for the design, but someone may prove me wrong. Feel free to try it with and without the slogan. If the slogan is included, keep in mind that there is no way to include it on a small business card so the design would have to be able to stand on its own. I am new to this designing brands thing, but I'm pretty sure most slogans are left out...I don't know.
Since the slogan is about smiling, it would naturally follow that some sort of smile could be included in the design...whether you include the slogan words in the design or not. I am not set on the smile idea, but am leaning that way. There are lots of smiles in lots of brands out there, so I don't want to be lumped into something everybody's seen already...at the same time I am a dentist so all you've really got to work with is either a tooth or a smile, right? :) Like I said, I'm not set on anything...

Now, to muddy the water, there are those who claim that abstracts can be non-representational under certain esoteric circumstances and no doubt others who argue that the reverse is also true. So, it's little wonder I got in trouble the other day for claiming Marden Hartley to have been the first American abstractionist. It would seem that another member of the Stieglitz group of New York artists might have beaten him by a few years. His name was Arthur Dove and his work from the period 1910 to 1912 would seem to be somewhat more abstract than Hartley's and a little earlier too. However, neither artist would appear to have quite reached what we would call a non-representation level. Hartley's early abstracts tended toward still-life while Dove's, toward landscape (as did Hartley's later on).
If we want to dwell on history and "firstisms," Dove was born in 1880, making him a little younger than Hartley, however he beat him to Europe and back by several years. In New York, displaying with the other Stieglitz Avant-garde at Gallery 291, Dove may well have come very close to painting without regard for natural subject matter, depending upon how much the viewer is predisposed to probe for such influences. Yet the influence of powerhouse French artists such as Matisse and Cézanne IS evident and pretty hard to shake, even though during the 1920s and 30s, Dove further simplified his forms and veered closer and closer toward the truly non-representational. Dove is often compared to Wassily Kandinsky, perhaps what one would call his European counterpart, as both artists struggled to shake free of centuries of deeply embedded subjective influences. So, the calendar aside, is Dove's work non-representational, or merely abstract? You decide.

Palace Music | REWIG83 | Released: 27/02/12
On Viva Last Blues, Oldham "went electric". Recorded by Steve Albini and including Plush's Liam Hayes and Sebadoh's Jason Lowenstein in the cast of accompanying players, the album is as dramatic and accessible as any Oldham has released.
During the accompanying tour and in press shots for Viva Last Blues Oldham often wore a cowboy hat. The record has a distinct Western, frontier-town feel, on "Work Hard / Play Hard" Oldham and band rock-out in suitably blue-collar fashion. The lyrics to "The Mountain Low": "If I could fuck a mountain, oh lord I would fuck a mountain" (Oldham insisted the song was released as a single) were the first to feature the denuded eroticism that would be a hallmark of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's song writing.
On "New Partner", one of the album's most celebrated tracks, Oldham sounds both warm-hearted and unsentimental – an emotional position that colours many of his lyrics. Viva was the first time Oldham had been heard in such clarity and the interplay between the band and his voice produces some startling vocal performances.
Oldham also sounds at his most relaxed and loose on many of the songs, hitting the high notes with abandon as the music ebbs and flows around him, or, as he sings in "Viva Ultra" "Are you jealous of the show we put on?"

Alignment & Tire Maintenance BasicsPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on January 1, 2011
It's an unquestionable fact that there's an intricate science behind the design and engineering of every suspension. There are hundreds of reasons why those highly engineered suspension systems could perform poorly, ride uncomfortably on- or off-highway, and have irregular tire wear. Poor maintenance and suspension modifications cause a change in the suspension geometry, which, if left uncorrected, will cause a whole slew of performance handling issues and suck the life right out of a good set of tires.
Proper suspension alignment is critical to how a vehicle steers, performs, and handles on and off the highway. If a vehicle is properly aligned it will also have less rolling resistance, increasing the life of components (like bushings) and improving tire longevity and fuel economy.
If a 4x4 is a purpose-built trail rig that's hammered on more than a blacksmith's anvil, then the most critical part of its suspension alignment is making sure the tire tread rests flat on the ground for traction. However, if your beloved 4x4 is a daily driver and sees its share of asphalt days, then it's imperative that proper suspension alignment be maintained.

The deadline for eligible service members, veterans and their beneficiaries to apply for Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay (RSLSP) has been extended to April 8, 2011, allowing personnel more time to apply for the benefits they've earned under the program guidelines.
The deadline extension is included in the continuing resolution signed by President Obama Friday, providing funding for federal government operations through April 8, 2011.
Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay was established to compensate for the hardships military members encountered when their service was involuntarily extended under Stop Loss Authority between Sept. 11, 2001, and Sept. 30, 2009. Eligible members or their beneficiaries may submit a claim to their respective military service in order to receive the benefit of $500 for each full or partial month served in a Stop Loss status.
When RSLSP began on Oct. 21, 2009, the services estimated 145,000 service members, veterans and beneficiaries were eligible for this benefit. Because the majority of those eligible had separated from the military, the services have engaged in extensive and persistent outreach efforts to reach them and remind them to apply. Outreach efforts including direct mail, engaging military and veteran service organizations, social networks and media outlets, will continue through April 8, 2011.
To apply for more information, or to gather more information on RSLSP, including submission requirements and service-specific links, go to http://www.defense.gov/stoploss.

Whether stocks can break out one way or the other has been the question of the week, and the drama is building.
Naysayers on the market's recent gains are growing by the day, and investors waiting for a pull back so they can put cash in at a lower level are sidelined and frustrated. The Dow crossed the psychologically key 14,000 level Friday and the S&P 500 cracked 1500 the week before, two levels that traders say have the potential to trigger a pull back.
(Read More: Traders Search for Pullback Trigger as Fears Rise)
So, is there a scary head and shoulders developing in the S&P 500, as suggested by Art Cashin? Or, do we face an "earnings cliff" because of higher taxes and slower growth, as foretold by Blackstone's Byron Wien? Does the market have it all wrong and we're going to relive 1987, as per Seabreeze Partners' Doug Kass?
Despite all this talk, stocks meandered quietly back and forth Wednesday in trading that did little to settle direction. It did, however, provide a backdrop for a swirl of speculative talk, specifically whether beaten up Apple would buy back its stock and raise its dividend. The unconfirmed rumor was sparked by bullish comments from famed Legg Mason fund manager Bill Miller, but it gained momentum and zipped across markets, lifting stocks mid-morning.
"The pain trade right now is those calling for a correction, as they continue to lose money while the market rides higher," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery. The Dow rose 7 to 13,986; the S&P was up less than a point at 1512, and the Nasdaq fell three points to 3168.
"The market is acting as though it's a bit overbought," he said. "I don't think a day like today is indicative of selling, as much as exhaustion of buying."

The XV Summer Olympics were held in Helsinki, Finland. Helsinki was originally awarded the 1940 summer games, after the IOC stripped the privilege from Tokyo, because of the Sino-Japanese War. The 1940 games were later canceled, due to World War II, so not until 1952 was Helsinki able to host the Olympic games. 69 nations competed in the 149 events (17 sports) during the XV Games. The games were opened by the Finnish President Juho Kuski Paasikivi.
Historic EventsEdit

I am guilty of being afraid to try anything new when it comes to skin care and beauty. A good reason for that is that I am afraid of breakouts and prefer to stick to my 'safe' old products. However I've heard so many amazing things about coconut oil and so many different uses that I wanted to give it a try. My thoughts? That product is a magic in a jar! At first is more of a thick/creamy consistency but it instantly turns into an oil when you rub it in your hands!
After using it for a while, here are all the uses I am using Coconut Oil for:
Makeup remover:
I was too afraid to try this as my skin is normal to oily and if it doesn't like something, then I'll have a huge breakout. However it works perfectly and I didn't have any problems! Place a small amount on a cotton pad and rub it on your face in circular motions. Make sure you rinse your face with warm water afterwards.
Eye makeup remover:
I've heard people using it as an eye-makeup remover. I've tried it and I am amazed each time! it takes off my eye makeup so easily, your eyes feel so moisturised and it even helps to make your lashes stronger! I am just gently rubbing a tiny amount of coconut oil on my eyes and lashes and then wiping it away with a cotton pad. You can either leave it on or just rinse off with warm water, I prefer to rinse it off just to get rid of the excess oil.
Shaving cream:
Is there a better combination than shaving cream and moisturiser combined together? Rub a small amount on your legs and shave as usual, your skin will be so soft afterwards.
Lip balm:
Your lips are so soft afterwards, I'll give it that but for me it doesn't work. Your lips are so oily it's annoying.
Flyaways/Frizz tamer:
Just rub a tiny amount in your hands and just add it to the places you want to smooth your flyaways.
Smooth out your ends:
We all have that post-wash day when our ends look a little out of control. Just rub a tiny amount in your hands and massage it into your ends. Style as usual.
Hair mask:
You can do this in two different ways. Warm a little amount of oil, you don't want it to be too hot though, and just massage it into your hair focusing on the ends (I also massage it into the scalp as it helps your scalp as well, it also helps to get rid of dandruff). If you have oily hair try to avoid the roots. Just take your time and spread it evenly into your hair. Then take your hair into a bun and wait for at least one hour. Then wash your hair with shampoo, for an extra soft finish just use your conditioner as well! I didn't have any problems rinsing it off, it rinsed off easier than I thought. *You can do the same process but instead of warming your oil up, just rub it into your hands and then massage it into your hair. You wouldn't believe how soft and silky my hair was afterwards and have I mentioned how amazing the coconut oil smells?
Overnight hair treatment:
Just do the same process as if you were doing a hair mask but leave it in your hair overnight. Rub your hair in a tower to avoid any mess. Wash your hair the next day as usual and then style it, for that shiny and silky finish.
Body moisturiser:
This works perfectly for the dry places on your skin (elbows, knees). Just rub a small amount of the oil into your hands and massage it into your skin. I've heard people using it as a body moisturiser in general but I find it a little too oily for me.
Facial moisturiser:
As I mentioned before I have normal to oily skin and therefore this is not the best one for me. However if you have dry or normal skin, rub a tiny amount in your hands and apply a light layer on your face, massage it and your skin will feel so moisturised after this.
Body/Foot Scrub:
I am obsessed with this. The results are amazing and it's super easy and super inexpensive as well. Plus your skin feels so soft, smooth and moisturised afterwards. In a small glass container add two (2) tablespoons of brown sugar and two (2) tablespoons of coconut oil. Mix well until they are fully incorporated and your scrub is ready. You can keep the remaining product in your fridge for future uses, just make sure you use it just for a couple of weeks after you made it.
Face Scrub:
The process is exactly the same as with the body scrub. The results are amazing and I didn't have any problem with it. My skin was so soft and clean afterwards and without any breakouts.

Brussels Sprout-Chestnut Tart with My Favorite Whole Wheat Crust
If you're still searching for Thanksgiving inspiration, consider this tart. Overflowing with shredded Brussels sprouts, chestnuts, and pancetta, loosely held together by a simple custard made with one egg and a splash of milk, this tart is substantial enough to serve as an entree and special enough to be part of your Thanksgiving spread. The flavor is so nutty and buttery, yet the inherent nutritious attributes of the Brussels sprouts aren't hidden, but enhanced. I coax out their natural sweetness by cooking them with caramelized shallots glazed with apple cider vinegar--a trick inspired by an otherwise overly complicated recipe I saw in Bon Appetit magazine.
I made this tart twice in the past week and a half. I wouldn't have done so if we didn't absolutely love eating it, but I also needed to perfect the filling. On the first attempt, I did not use the custard and therefore, nothing kept the scraggly hash of Brussels sprouts from spilling apart when the tart was cut. I needed a binder that wouldn't dull the flavors of the ingredients. I had done a tart with a milk custard before, so I thought I would try something similar here. I mixed up just enough to create a cohesive filling that wasn't too eggy and quiche-like--problem solved!
If you're not much for tart-baking, or just need a light vegetable side dish, please try the Brussels sprout-chestnut mixture on its own. Both times I made the tart, I bought more sprouts than I needed and reserved a little tupperware container of the filling (minus the milk and eggs) to munch on, and I would not hesitate to make that portion of the recipe as a side dish anytime. It's so good!
It's been ages since I've participated in a food blogging event, and I'm really happy to get back in the habit by contributing this recipe to "Waiter, there's something in my..." hosted this month over at the blog, Cook Sister. The theme is Topless Tarts--perfect. I'll post a link to the round-up sometime late next week so you can see what other bloggers came up with too.
Favorite Whole Wheat Savory Tart Shell
After some experimenting, I think this is the combination of flours that produces the tastiest, flakiest whole wheat tart shell. I absolutely love this pastry, and it's very easy to work with. You can jazz it up by adding fresh herbs or spices to the dry ingredients.
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 stick unsalted butter (4 oz.), cut into small cubes and chilled
1/4 cup ice water, plus 1 to 2 tbs. as needed
In a food processor, pulse the flour and salt to combine. Add the butter and pulse until you have a sandy mixture with pea-sized chunks. Sprinkle the ice water over the flour mixture, then pulse again until the dough just starts to come together. It will still look a little scraggly. If the dough does not easily adhere when you press a bit between your fingers, add one more tablespoon of ice water and pulse. Repeat if necessary until the dough is moist and cohesive, but not wet.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and press it together, kneading once or twice, to form a thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface to a large, 12-13 inch circle. To do this evenly, roll in the direction of 12 o'clock, then 6 o'clock, then 9, then 3, then in the directions of the diagonals (1:30, etc.). The dough should be about 1/8 inch thick. Roll the dough over the pin and drape it into a nonstick (9, 10 or 11-inch) fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the sides of the pan with your knuckles and peel off the pieces that hang over the pan and use them to patch any holes. Prick the base and sides of the crust all over with a fork, place tart pan on a heavy baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. If you want to cook this crust all the way through for a different recipe, bake about 30 minutes total.
Brussels Sprout-Chestnut Tart
This is excellent reheated, as long as you do it in the oven, not the microwave. It's worth the little bit of effort to re-crisp the delicious, buttery crust. Loosely tent with foil and heat at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until hot.
nonstick cooking spray
2 (1/4-inch) slices pancetta, chopped into small bits (or 6 slices bacon)
olive oil, as needed
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs. apple cider vinegar
4 tsp. granulated sugar
1 3/4 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 to 1/2 cup water
1 tbs. unsalted butter
1 cup chopped chestnuts (from a jar of whole cooked chestnuts)
2 oz. grated sharp cheddar, gruyère or comté cheese, grated (about 1/3 cup loosely packed
1 egg
1/4 cup milk (lowfat or whole)
Coat a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray and heat to medium-low. Add pancetta and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove to a paper towel to drain, leaving the fat in the pan. If you're using bacon, drain on paper towel, then crumble into bite-size pieces.
If necessary, add some olive oil to the pan so you have about 1 tbs. of fat. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat if shallots started browning too quickly. Add the cider vinegar and sugar to the shallots, stirring until shallots are coated with glaze, about 2 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir until combined well with the shallots and slightly wilted. Turn up the heat to medium and add water to create a thin layer of liquid at the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring often, until water evaporates and Brussels sprouts are soft, but still sweet and firm to the bite (overcooking is what makes them bitter, but don't worry, it's not easy to do). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chestnuts and pancetta.
Meanwhile, scatter the cheese over the base of the par-baked tart shell.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg together with the milk and season with salt and pepper. Add the Brussels sprout mixture and toss to coat. Add the Brussels sprouts mixture to the tart shell. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, or until set. Let tart rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

This looks wonderful. I'm saving the recipe to try this week with freshly roasted chestnuts.
- Anna said...
I have never tasted chestnuts. I think I'm afraid I won't like them and if I don't like them, it will ruin any good feelings I get from the whoe "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" idea.
- Margaret said...
Your tart has a very interesting combination of flavours and I can see that they would work well together. Good choice making a wholewheat pastry base with this.

The Rays announced today they will remove the tarps on upper level seats, making 5,762 more tickets available if the ALCS goes to Game 6. The seats, mostly with obstructed views of the field, haven't been sold for previous games this season.
"Interest in Rays postseason tickets was extraordinary," team president Matt Silverman said in a statement. "Although the seating capacity we established provides optimal fan experience, Rays fans have made it very clear that they want us to make every possible seating opportunity available."
Tickets will go on sale Wednesday to those who won the right through the team's postseason ticket lottery. Those eligible to purchase will be determined by lottery and notified by e-mail. Fans still can sign up for the potential lottery for World Series tickets at raysbaseball.com. Those who previously registered do not need to do so again.

Russian Gay Teen Dies Following Torture By Anti-Gay Neo-Nazis
We previously reported on the kidnapping and torture of Russian gay teens by Russian anti-gay neo-Nazi group, Occupy Pedofilyaj. These teens were lured by their captors via the social networking site VK.com.
It's now been reported that one victim, pictured above, has died.
The Spectrum Human Rights Alliance writes:
According to the human right activist, Dr. Valentin Degtyarev, MD, who closely monitors infamous Neo Nazi group "Occupy Pedofilyaj", the Uzbek victim shown on this photo tragically died as a result of numerous tortures. No arrests have been made and no charges were pressed. Putin's law enforcement seems to fully condone these actions.
Clearly Putin has no interest in protecting the Russian LGBT community against anything beyond "gay propaganda."
What are our next steps as a community?

If you want to know why we get prejudiced against look at the advertisment opposite 'onegoodlove'. 'real men'? what's that supposed to mean? Gay men looking like straight men? are you for real? Until we stop all this self concious self loathing then the world is going to simply mirror how we feel about ourselves.
Ok, I know who this is now! Assbama, as I will address you, take responsible for destroying America with your pathetic leadership. The unemployment rate is still at an all time low and the real estate market is worse than the great depression. Dude stop attacking me and whining about being wishy washy because somebody attacked the President. Take responsibility of the issue that addressed here- gay men being murdered. Why do weak gay men act crazy on the Internet and want to be drama sluts! Go to the bars and sash shay around and snap your wrists. Don't reply unless you have a solution and not a million excuses like our President.
Jeff, do your ealize that Assbama's approval rating is the lowest it has ever been. The longer he stays in office the less people like him. You need to shut up about Assbama and focus on the topic here- gay men being murdered in Russia! Quit going off topic with your rants. If you like Assbama so much marry him and convert to Muslim.
First of all, I'm assuming your a spiritually goofy Christian because you even considered using someone's religion (which you can't prove) to make an argument. Second of all, doesn't the bible say that you shouldn't judge and that you should help your neighbor? Also, what people are you taking surveys from because it doesn't seem like you got the notice that he got re-elected.
You need to shut up about Assbama and focus on the topic here- gay men being murdered in Russia! Quit going off topic with your rants.
As a Republican I'm sure you hate facts, but:
Fact #1: YOU are the idiot that brought politics into this topic to begin. with.
Fact #2: Christians and Muslims are two sides of the same coin. Cray-cray.
I have reported you to the web master and Instinct magazine. Name calling and bitchiness is what you do and I have not engaged in that. People like you represent and self-loathing aspect of the glbt community. I only try to support and build up other gay men to work together. I suggest you go to a therapist and ask him to deprogram you from all of the bs you have read and seen in the general media! Either that or quit watching Oprah! LOL Take down the "Obama the Mesiah" banner from your bedroom wall.
The killers need to be prosecuted! Why doesn't Assbama and the US government step in??? Ho wmany more gay men will die before the government steps in and puts and end to the oppression! I spit on you Russia and your savage behaviors! You are worse than animals! I spit all over you and your country.
@Glenn- Really? Assbama? First of all, that's really lame. Secondly, you obviously don't understand foreign relations, which is why you're not part of that branch of the government. You also obviously don't understand that the president isn't some all-mighty being who can just "step in". At least, not legally. Next time you decide to blame Obama, or any president for that matter, do your homework and find out if it's actually within the scope of his job. Also, in case you ever find yourself in a voting booth, all you have to do is turn around and leave. Don't accidentally hit any of the buttons. It's a danger for people like you to help in the decision-making process.
@Ben does your mother know you have access to the Internet and adult sites??? Shame on both of you! An ten year-old-boy should never use the Internet unsupervised. Unless this is Assbama himself or his ignorant wife then I understand your comments. Seriously, what do your comments have anything to do with the GLBT who died in Russia. Your comments disrespect the memory of that boy. You are like the Russian skinheads who bullied and killed him. Get a life!
Where is the UN and other nations? If this was being done to any other social group such as practitioners of Judaism or Christianity, Black people, etc. everyone would be up in arms. Why is that LGBT people are often overlooked when atrocities like this threaten the community. I thought we were all human beings or are some people more equal than others.
Sickens me that the world is not up in arms demanding Russia throw this ignorant and hate filled law out. How is torturing anyone ok based in how they were born? Just because the ignorant piece if shit president of Russia wants to keep his anti gay law and spread his own personal beliefs and hatred? Maybe it's time an assassin took him out of the mix then.

Reporting from the Northern Neck of Virginia
My father's family landed in 1942 Los Angeles as if by immaculate conception, unburdened by any past.
Growing up, I knew all about how my mother's grandparents came to California from southern France and Sweden. But my dad's side was a mystery.
All I heard were a few stories about my grandfather as a youth in Hannibal, Mo., how he found a tarantula in a shipment of bananas at his dad's corner store, how he and a friend once rode motorcycles out west. But no one talked about Mozingos further back, or where they came from.
I might never have given the subject any thought except for a strange word: our name. All my life, people had asked me about it.


text:
THE LEGS GLISTENED in the spring sunshine. Supple and lean muscles hung from shinbones, off hamstrings. Clean-shaven, rubbed down with embrocation and deeply tanned from a winter spent training in the Southern sun, those were the legs I wanted. Two of the cyclists sat on the car's bumper while a third, his shorts rolled up and socks rolled down, was having even more embrocation massaged into his skin by his girlfriend. Across the crisp, shocking tan lines and over emphatic scars she stroked his legs and, when she lingered on his thighs her thumbs sank deep into the loose muscle.
Against the riders' old Nissan hatchback rested three identically painted and assembled racing bikes, which matched their clothing. Every detail was captivating to me: from the kit to the handlebar tape to the tubulars to the glistening hubs. But none more than the legs. Thick veins crisscrossed the muscles like elevation changes on a topography map. The lean ankles had been whittled to bone and tendon. The skin, stretched to accommodate the musculature built by tens of thousands of kilometers, seemed almost translucent. To an eight-year-old who gazed at photos of Eddy Merckx the way other kids idolized images of Mickey Mantle, seeing the lean legs of those three racers was the kind of event that would become etched indelibly into memory. Those legs were symbolic of fitness, suffering, sacrifice, freedom, panache, and victory. And it was only because they presented themselves in the cyclist's unique and evocative aesthetic: They were shaven.
No one knows which cyclist first shaved his legs, or why. In his blog, the frame builder and amateur cycling historian Dave Moulton writes that racers have done so for at least 100 years and surmises that the practice likely predates the adoption of the custom by Western women (which is commonly believed to have begun in the early 1900s, with the popularization of short hemlines and more-revealing swimsuits). The authenticity of the often-cited motivations--cleanliness, style, facilitating massage, aerodynamics, and ease of treating road rash--is similarly murky.
I can speak only for myself. After 20 years of shaving, the act is now routine, so much so that I will likely continue after I am retired, even when I am old and gray.
Yet, shaving is clumsy and often a chore. In tiny hotel showers and bathrooms, we struggle to bend over to reach our ankles, slipping and sliding, cutting and bleeding. Even for a pro, who by necessity repeats the process so often it becomes automatic, shaving requires patience and attention. Unfortunately, those are qualities we don't often have after six hours of racing. And, as though a rat has been sheared, a shave leaves a foul ring of hair in a tub or sink. Some riders clean up. Others leave a mess for their roommates or chambermaids.
Perhaps it is some combination of the mystery, the difficulty, and the taboo (to men in general the act is abnormal), that has turned leg shaving into a rite of passage.
Friends call after they've shaved for the first time. On a restaurant terrace in summer, cyclists acknowledge each other after spotting clean legs. In a pack, the neophyte is evident from his hairy legs.
Having grown up immersed in a community of cyclists, and with a father who raced, I saw hair on the legs of few men. To me, it was the hirsute legs that appeared abnormal, unkempt, dirty. Not until middle school, spying the legs of my maturing classmates, did I begin to realize that the smooth-skinned cyclists were the minority. I knew I would soon face a dilemma: I wanted to be a cyclist but, like any adolescent, didn't want to be an alien. In eighth grade, the blond boy-hair on my legs began to be replaced by sprouts of the dark adolescent hair I feared. Confused, awkward, in the way of boys of that age I tried in a desperate and doomed way to erase the situation in secret. After my parents had gone to bed, I settled under the reading light in my bedroom with a pair of scissors, snipping at the pesky, dark, curly hair bristling up off my shins.
Eventually, the lure of wanting to be a cyclist was stronger than wanting to be normal, and I started shaving. I can't remember the first time. I can recall only that I began doing so as a prerace event, usually on a Saturday evening. The act was a mixture of vanity and superstition; not only did I want to look like a professional, I also believed that shaving the night before an event would improve performance. (Later I was told by a teammate this was the worst timing. Citing the alchemic lore that infiltrates cycling even--or especially--at the top level, my teammate dutifully explained to me the belief that shaving causes tiny invisible cuts, which take energy to heal, and that, clearly, a cyclist cannot afford to squander such energy the night before a race. Now, as a veteran who has few superstitions, I simply shave whenever hair is visible.)
With time we each develop our own technique. Our techniques depend on how quickly the hair grows, its coarseness, and how we were taught. (I believe the bulk of expertise comes from spouses or girlfriends, who often have a more delicate and effective approach.)
There are riders who shave infrequently, and only in the spots visible when dressed. Others, with precision, ensure there isn't a hair in sight from toe to belt line. (Those few who shave only between their sock line and short line also, I have noticed, often have stubble on their faces and don't wash as often as they should.)
I shave with a safety razor in the shower, at a frequency that is probably about weekly. I rarely allow the hair to grow too long, as stubble and ingrown hairs become horribly irritable. Besides, being a bicycle rider of any ambition creates an almost innate desire to strip any excess from the body. I usually miss the odd patch of hair, as I have become less meticulous with age.
As a teen, my initial attempts at shaving left a mess of hair, shaving foam, and blood on the bathroom sink and, even now, after years of shaving, I still sometimes carelessly cut myself. Before my first race with the U.S. Postal Service team, I was as nervous as I must have been for my first shave. I hadn't slept well in the days prior to the event, the Tour of Valencia. On the eve of the first stage, I decided to shave with a razor provided by the hotel. Unaccustomed to the cheap razor, I took 6 inches of skin off my shin in the first stroke. The cut appeared white at first, which is a sure sign it was deep and would bleed profusely.
Johan Bruyneel, the legendary team director, came into the room minutes after I stepped out of the shower, towel around my waist and tissues stuck to my shin. When Johan enters riders' rooms, riders usually freeze for a few seconds, as they know he is eyeing every detail, from what is in the suitcase, to what's on the television, to how fit they look. He noticed my shin. In a terse and confused voice, he asked what I had done. I explained and he shook his head. Embarrassed, I felt like the neo-pro I was.
After a race, the hot water that pours over my head and down my back eases the aches from the day. I look as if I am wearing my cycling clothing in the shower, so thoroughly am I marked by grime on the skin that had been exposed on my legs, arms, neck, and face. With a washcloth, I scrub the thick, black gunk from my body, starting with my face. When I reach my legs, I once again feel the effort of the race. The muscles, empty, stripped of glycogen and of water, cry out. The veins pulsate against the washcloth. My legs are destroyed.
But redemption comes. Even reduced to rubble like this, as the dirt comes off, my legs in their smooth state show each ripple, every indentation carved by the lack of the fat, every bulging muscle that pushes the skin taut, every scar. They are sculptures, monuments to my love of cycling, and it is right that they should not be covered.

Dec 16 case: why SC didn't change age of juvenility
The Supreme Court on July 17 rejected a batch of petitions seeking a direction to the Centre to take steps to make changes in the law to ensure that juveniles be tried under normal law in heinous offences like rape and murder.india Updated: Dec 02, 2013 18:15 IST
Hindustan Times
"There is little doubt that the incident (gang-rape) which occurred on the night of December 16, 2012, was not only gruesome, but almost maniacal in its content, wherein one juvenile, whose role is yet to be established, was involved. But such an incident, in comparison to the vast number of crimes occurring in India, makes it an aberration rather than the rule."
This is what the Supreme Court said on July 17 while rejecting a batch of petitions seeking a direction to the Centre to take steps to make changes in the law to ensure that juveniles be tried under normal law in heinous offences like rape and murder.
"In recent years, there has been a spurt in criminal activities by adults, but not so by juveniles....In the absence of any proper data, it would not be wise on our part to deviate from the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, which represent the collective wisdom of Parliament," a three-judge bench headed by the then chief justice of India Altmas Kabir had said. (READ: Proposed juvenile law to have tougher punishments)
"If what has come out from the reports of the Crime Records Bureau is true, then the number of crimes committed by juveniles comes to about 2% of the country's crime rate," it had noted.
The bench had said the essence of the Act and the Rules framed under it in 2007, is restorative and not retributive, providing for rehabilitation and re-integration of children in conflict with law into mainstream society.
"The age of eighteen has been fixed on account of the understanding of experts in child psychology and behavioural patterns that till such an age the children in conflict with law could still be redeemed and restored to mainstream society, instead of becoming hardened criminals in future," it hd noted.
While admitting that there could be exceptions where a child in the age group of sixteen to eighteen may have developed criminal propensities, which would make it virtually impossible for him/her to be reintegrated into mainstream society, the SC had said, "but such examples are not of such proportions as to warrant any change in thinking, since it is probably better to try and re-integrate children with criminal propensities into mainstream society, rather than to allow them to develop into hardened criminals, which does not augur well for the future."
But the Supreme Court on August 22 admitted a petition by former MP Subramanian Swamy seeking interpretation of the definition of "juvenile" under the Juvenile Justice Act.

The Vampire Diaries' upcoming episode (and backdoor pilot) "The Originals" is bringing a whole new flavor to the series, says star Joseph Morgan.
"Tonally, it's a little different," Morgan tells TVGuide.com. "The Vampire Diaries is a coming-of-age story and "The Originals," like Julie [Plec] has said, is more like The Lost Boys, embracing the nature of being a vampire where you party all night and sleep all day. It's really about these guys who want to be vampires as opposed to the guilt and remorse the weight of that which comes with The Vampire Diaries."
Must-watch finales: Scoop on 39 season-enders
When Klaus receives a message from Katherine (Nina Dobrev) that a witch in New Orleans is plotting against him, he travels to the Big Easy to reunite with his former protégé Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) and perhaps reclaim the city that was once his.
"Klaus is a fan of manipulation, and he makes a few direct challenges throughout the episode, and there are a few displays of violence," Morgan says. "The interesting thing to see will be who he's willing to work with to get where he wants to be and what commitments he's willing to make to them. Klaus is very much a lone wolf, he'll side with someone for a certain amount of time and then next thing he'll be siding with someone else against them."
Joining Klaus on his new mission is his brother Elijah (Daniel Gillies), who will be elated to learn he has a reason to keep his family together. "There are elements of the story line that come out which will absolutely explore more of a potential for vulnerability in his personal life and his relationship with family," Morgan says. "Elijah really wants to bring the family together, and he's come to a point where he's realized that the strength they have is with each other. Rebekah and Klaus are very much at odds, so Elijah finds himself a little bit of a middleman."
Season MVPs: The year's best
Although the future of "The Originals" remains to be seen, Morgan says he can't think about the possibility of the pilot not going to series, even if Plec told us she has "a glorious character story for him to tell in the world of Mystic Falls" should the spin-off not happen.
"Everyone at the moment is moving forward as if it will go to series, which I think is the way to go," he says. "I have to proceed that way, because however 'glorious' the [story line] is, I think it'll be a disappointment for me to happen."
And as for Klaus' future as it pertains to Caroline (Candice Accola) and the decision he will make about Tyler (Michael Trevino)? Morgan tells us, "I don't want to say either way where it's going to go, because that's ultimately Klaus' contribution to the finale, making that choice, but I feel like it's not the end of the Klaus-Caroline storyline, but I feel like it's a satisfying place to leave it at the end of the season."
Regardless, Morgan admits that the backdoor pilot never could've happened had it not been for the fans. After all, Klaus was originally intended to be killed off in Season 3!
"I'm so excited for people to meet the new characters and see this new world and what this could be, should it go to series," Morgan says. "I don't think I would have this opportunity if the fans hadn't responded so warmly to Klaus, an old villain, so I really appreciate everyone's support and I hope this is something of a thank you to them."

Photographs From the Arab World
Availability: In stock
An Arabic word meaning "seeing, insight, reflection," Nazar is an apt title for this multifaceted view of the Arab world seen through the eyes of fifty-six Arab and Western photographers. With essays by seven international writers, this stimulating catalog to a highly acclaimed exhibition at the Noorderlicht Festival presents the largest collection of Arab photographs ever exhibited in the West. The book is divided into three sections: "Arab Eyes," "A Look Back" (early photography in the Arab world), and "Western Eyes." The essays explore diverse facets of this rich range of imagery and introduce multiple generations of photographers—male and female—previously little known outside the Middle East. The first to survey such a variety of work, the book also provides insight into the cultural, political, social, religious, economic, and aesthetic forces that have determined the evolution of photography—both documentary and fine art—from North Africa to Lebanon and Palestine, from Egypt to Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Ranging from passionately documentary to technically innovative to subversively banal, these images challenge preconceived views about the region. This handsomely designed volume will be a revelation to readers around the world and a welcome introduction to an unfamiliar but increasingly vital center of photography.

Strong Storms Cross New Jersey
A line of strong storms crossed New Jersey early Monday with a minimum of damage
A strong cold front brought some heavy downpours and possible wind gusts to 60 MPH as it quickly crossed New Jersey from west-to-east overnight after 1 a.m. There was concern that heavy rains could cause flooding in poor drainage areas and the wind could bring down trees and power lines.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been canceled.
There are pockets of power outages in north and central New Jersey; a power outage in Trenton is unrelated to the storm.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center had New Jersey at a slight risk for severe weather into Monday morning between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m.
There was a wind gust of 26 MPH in Washington Township (Gloucester County) according to a post on the Facebook page of the National Weather Service's Mt. Holly office.
Once the storms pass Monday should turn out to be another warm day with temperatures in the 60s under sunny skies. Fall returns on Tuesday, however, with temperatures not getting past 50.
Midwest Storms
Emergency crews are checking reports of damage and injuries after severe thunderstorms and tornadoes swept across central Illinois today. An alderman in the community of Washington has told Chicago's WBBM Radio that damage there is extensive and there are "quite a few people hurt."
The National Weather Service says tornadoes touched down East Peoria, Washington, Metamora, Morton and other Illinois communities. Officials couldn't say whether it was one tornado touching down or several.
The stormy weather also interrupted the NFL game in Chicago between the Bears and the Baltimore Ravens. That game has resumed.
Forecasters say it's all part of a dangerous weather system that has the potential to be destructive and deadly.
Russell Schneider, director of the weather service's Storm Prediction Center, says some 53 million people in 10 states are "at significant risk for thunderstorms and tornadoes."
The Associated Press contributed to this report
