wanting to repartition and reinstall windows, but my monitor wont switch on until i hit the windows logon screen, which means i can't access the bios.
as stated in the title, mobo is asus p5ql/epu, monitor is flatron e2441.
have asked google, haven't found anything relevant. any suggestions?
try using your TV as a monitor instead?
tried connecting your monitor to your PC using other cables instead?
Once you hit the power button start tapping F2 and Delete on your keyboard. One of those will be the key to go into the bios.
If that don't work, it means the video card is outputting to a different port, so then you'll need to figure out which and use that port/cable.
My bios shows up on all screens, but with the Tv hdmi in the resolution is small and only shows a third of it, even though Tv is 1920. Also with my controller plugged in it tries to use that and the mouse and it scrolls to the left top corner too fast. That was fun going wtf . Can you tell windows to shutdown and boot into bios?
Repartition using partition wizard
Then reinstall Windows. Do you really need to get to the bios for this?
Maybe on a previous BIOS visit you upset something. Try finding the reset switch on your mobo, or remove the battery for a few minutes.
Once you hit the power button start tapping F2 and Delete on your keyboard. One of those will be the key to go into the bios.
I have a p5k-se (presuming that's close), I usually try a combination of f10/f11/f12 and delete, not sure which it is. Sometimes if you hit it too early, or too many too quickly, it misses it, good to give it a second or two before starting, but normally you have visual feedback for that.
my asus monitor was the same, I just did as suggested above and wait until I saw the numlock light light up and smash the delete key like a mad bastard.
You could also hit the reset button as it strys to boot so 'overclocking failed pleased change settings comes up' hard to know what you gave set in your bios. Should also be a button on mainboard to boot into bios with asus.
Hi kos,
I have on my workbench here an Asus P5QL-E and i can confirm that delete is your bios key.
As to why it stays black for so long, yes, do change your monitor and or video card.
Hi hardware,
I don't know why you're talking to me, but I feel loved.
I carn't reed
My bios shows up on all screens, but with the Tv hdmi in the resolution is small and only shows a third of it,
just get your TV to reset it's dimensions, on my LG there's a quick menu, choose 16:9 then go back to Auto and it'll fix itself.
Else, turn the PC off, hold reset, then press power and your bios should reset to defaults.
long week at work, thanks for the suggestions, i'll get on to it today!
Sweet, also lg, does the trick nicely. Cable is next to me, remote is on the coffee table though.

Sheriff: 'Cold-blooded killers' shot at children, women in Harvey incident
Four arrested in shooting
Five people, including children, were injured in a morning shooting in Harvey, authorities in Jefferson Parish said.
The shooting began about 4:30 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 2300 block of Lapalco Boulevard.
Five people were injured in the shooting. More people were inside the apartment but weren't injured, investigators said.
Three of the victims were under 2 years old, another was a 23-month-old boy and the other two were women, investigators said. One of the young victims was shot multiple times.
Four people have been arrested in the incident with assistance from the NOPD. Officials said the suspects arrested have extensive criminal histories. The suspects include Davante Robertson, 19, Charlie A. Gumms, 18, Frankie Hookman, Jr., 21, and Lashawn Davis, 20.
At a news conference held at 4 p.m., Sheriff Newell Normand said an AK-47 was used in the attack and that a bar fight that happened six weeks ago instigated the shooting.
Three men fired in the home, striking the victims, Normand said. None of the victims in the home were involved in the altercation, Normand said.
"Anytime someone shoots three kids under 3 and two adult females, that's damn significant in my view," Normand said. "The fact of the matter is that these are cold-blooded killers."
Shortly before the shooting, JPSO Deputies were at Helen Cox School next door to the complex to meet and arrest 20-year-old Glen Houston who was due to arrive at the school with a group of students returning from a field trip.
While Houston was being arrested, gunshots rang out at the apartments. As deputies headed towards the complex, a 2001 Honda Accord with several men inside sped out of the parking area towards Lapalco, authorities said.
A chase ensued across the Crescent City Connection and ended near the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Lasalle Street. One of the men in the shooting jumped off an overpass on the Interstate to evade arrest, Normand said, but he suffered leg injuries and a head injury and was taken into custody.
The victims were taken to University Hospital, Fortunato said. The women were listed in stable condition. The boy was in critical, but stable condition, Fortunato said. The two girls were taken to Children's Hospital.
Normand showed a chart at the news conference at 4 p.m., which linked the men to various shootings in the parish.

- 100g dark chocolate digestive biscuits
- 50g melted butter
- 2 x 200g bars of Green and Black's organic Maya Gold (spiced orange) chocolate
- 426ml double cream
- 250g full-fat soft cheese
- 250g mascarpone
- Slug of Cointreau or Grand Marnier
- 2 oranges
- A little caster or icing sugar
- Whizz the biscuits in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Pour in the melted butter and whizz again to amalgamate. Grease a 20cm springform baking tin. Press the biscuit mixture down firmly to evenly cover the base. Refrigerate while you make the topping.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces in a bowl. Put it over a pan of barely simmering water until it starts to melt. Take it off and set it aside until it melts completely. You can stir it once or twice to help the process, but be gentle and don't overdo it. Cool slightly.
- Gently beat 2/3 (284ml) of the cream, the cheese and mascarpone in a bowl until well combined. Stir in the melted chocolate. Spoon over the base and refrigerate for at least three hours, preferably overnight. Whip the remaining cream. Stir in the liquor.
- Zest the oranges. Mix the threads of zest with a little sugar. Peel and segment the oranges. Run a knife round the edge of the cheesecake, release the springform tin. Cut thin wedges of cheesecake and serve each one with a blob of cream topped with a few shreds of the candied zest and two or three orange segments on the side.

This is very easy to make. I didn't have orange chocolate so use normal dark chocolate and orange essence. My husband thought it had been made with Terry's chocolate orange. I also made a ginger nut biscuit base which was lovely. It is tremendously rich so next time I am going to try single cream. I'll be making this again for Christmas :-)
19th Feb, 2013
This was very easy to make and finished off a lovely 3-course valentines meal which I made for my partner. Whilst we both loved it, it is just far too rich to have any more than a couple of spoonfuls and so from that point of view, felt like a bit of a waste of time. Don't get me wrong; it was masterfully indulgent and the quality of the chocolate really came through but anymore than a slither was too much. This sentiment was echoed by all who tried it over the following days. The zest, segments and cointreau cream however, were an absolute delight and complimented the rich cake ever so well. I think I have found a new love in Cointreau cream and may just have to sit with a jug of it and a straw! Definitely will be using this particular cream mix again. Sorry chocolate-lovers, a negative one from me!
8th Apr, 2010
I've made this twice now and it's gorgeous! Everyone loved it but it is very indulgent and you really don't need a large portion unless you're in need of a serious chocolate hit! Using Green and Blacks gives it a really nice orange spice taste but I have used Bournville's dark orange chocolate too and it's a good subsitute! Highly recommend for all of those not on a diet!! x
15th Dec, 2008
If you are a cheesecake fan and especially if you are a chocolate fan - you just have to make this cheesecake. I used single cream instead of double and the results were spectacular. This is a real choclate hit! Everyone just loved it - so rich and velvety. Small slices are recommended or endulge as you so desire!

Read Fred Bauer's breakdown of the exit polls where he explains some troubling information. The GOP is losing ground with the working class during an era when the working class is expanding. The most concerning passage is his conclusion:
The Republican shortfall with the working class in 2012 was due not simply to the nominee's personal background but to wider issues with Republican policies. In the wake of a decade of lost economic ground and the near-meltdown of 2008, many non-affluent voters seem to have a deep distrust of the ability of Republican policies to work for them. Romney's poor showing among this demographic underlines the fact that Republicans have not yet found an antidote to this distrust. Further tax cuts will not counter it, nor will promises to end Obamacare. As Ross Douthat suggested the other day, the concerns of average Americans are not the same today as they were in 1979, so Republican policies will have to change with them. By the end of the campaign, Governor Romney was beginning to tout a more forward-looking economic message, one that emphasized industrial renewal, energy development, and middle-class restoration. It was this message that made the election as close as it became on November 6.
Moving economic discussions beyond a fetishization of tax cuts need not be a surrender to the Left. There are, after all, authentically conservative responses to financial consolidation, deindustrialization, escalating health-care costs, soaring energy prices, and middle-class decline. It seems clear that, if Republicans cannot craft a message and a policy platform that speak to the needs of many in the middle and working classes, their ability to form a national governing coalition will remain in doubt. (It's worth noting that Democrats may even have won a majority of the aggregate popular vote for the House.)
What does not seem so clear, however, is how an expansive legalization of current illegal workers, and the new wave of illegal labor such a legalization would be likely to initiate, could improve the economic prospects of the working class or win them over to the Republican side. There might be other reasons to support an amnesty for illegal immigrants, but hopes that such an amnesty will be an electoral panacea are misguided. Perhaps the most promising strategy for winning over native-born and immigrant voters alike would be for Republicans to put forward policies that speak to the needs of the vast economic middle and of economic strivers of all income levels.

From Madison Teachers Inc.
Madison Teachers Inc. filed an action in Dane County Circuit Court in 2015 challenging the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission's (WERC) refusal to release voter lists during annual Union certification elections. Dane County Judge Peter Anderson ruled in favor of MTI and held that the WERC was required to produce the certification voter lists requested by the Union under the Public Records Law during the election period. The Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the ruling in a decision released this morning, essentially adopting a new court-made exemption to the state's broad Open Records law.
In a blistering dissent. Justice Ann Walsh Bradley stated:
"Despite Wisconsin's longstanding public policy favoring transparency, for the third time in three years this court continues to undermine our public records law. Yet again, this court overturns a lower court decision favoring transparency of records to which the public is rightfully entitled. Once more we must ask, '[w]hat has the majority achieved with its opinion grounded in speculative, abstract, and unsubstantiated fears?"'"
The decision blocks the union's access to a public record of the employees who have voted as of the mid-point of the 20-day election period. MTI was not seeking a record of "how" employees voted (that is rightfully kept confidential), but only a list of voters who had cast a ballot.
Since Act 10 was enacted, which requires public employee unions to stand for recertification elections every year, the WERC has provided the union with the information on who has voted only after the election was over. The decision will uphold the secrecy of WERC's recertification elections, which it conducts entirely by electronic balloting.
Historically, and under WERC's election rules, unions have a right to observe and monitor certification elections. As a result of the Court's decision, unions will as a practical matter have no effective way to monitor the WERC's administration of the elections or to track voting, as they would if WERC conducted elections at a physical polling place.
The Court's decision will have far-reaching consequences for the Open Records law and is a blow to transparency and open government.

Rookie Ventura earns first career win
Royals lagging offense comes alive as Infante homers, trio hit doubles
HOUSTON -- By almost any measure, four runs is no offensive eruption.
After two weeks of erratic hitting, the Royals will take it.
Omar Infante led the mild charge, drilling a first-inning home run and later tallying an RBI fielder's choice to back up Yordano Ventura's solid seven innings as Kansas City took game one of the series, 4-2, against the Astros on Tuesday night in Minute Maid Park.
The win marked the third series-opening triumph for the Royals in 2014, with Kansas City winning each of the previous two three-game sets. After a three-game sweep at the hands of Minnesota, though -- when the Royals scored only five runs -- the Royals desperately needed to dismiss notions of a slump.
Infante was up to the task, sending a one-out 2-0 fastball screaming over the high porch in left field at Minute Maid for his first dinger of the season.
Manager Ned Yost said prior to the game that some lackluster power numbers -- namely, league lows in total bases, slugging percentage and home runs -- weren't a concern.
It wasn't just Infante who proved Yost prophetic. Lorenzo Cain, Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez ripped doubles as the Royals threatened Houston starter Lucas Harrell in each of the first five frames.
"Omar put us on the board early there with his homer, and it just led to some timely hits," Hosmer said. We know we need to do a better job of that."
Hosmer had perhaps his best game of the season, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk to nudge his early average up to .273, just three points shy of his career mark.
Infante's two runs driven in doubled his RBI total for the season, helping Kansas City at least temporarily reverse a weak offensive start to the year on an unseasonably chilly evening in Houston.
Even Billy Butler, whose average is still in the low .100s, collected an RBI on his fifth-inning sacrifice fly.
It all amounted to just enough support, just in time for the ever-more reliable Royals rotation.
Even with the bats starting to show some life, the story was ultimately Ventura, who earned his first career win with seven innings of four-hit, two-run ball.
"It feels really good, the team supported me and played really good behind me," Ventura said through a translator. "It gives me a lot of satisfaction to keep working hard."
The win earned him a traditional celebratory postgame beer bath in a gleeful Royals clubhouse. The typically stoic Yost was practically beaming with pride for the young starter's milestone.
"I'm just really proud for [Ventura] because it was like his [fourth] time that he's gone for a first win and had an opportunity to win all of them, but we couldn't hold it," Yost said, "To get that out of the way was big for all of us."
His night didn't start so smoothly. Dexter Fowler doubled to lead off the Astros' first inning and eventually made it to third on Jason Castro's single.
Despite Castro's limited speed, Ventura was holding him at first with two outs. Eventually, that focus led to an errant pickoff attempt that plated Fowler and knotted up the score at 1-1.
"Just got caught in my palm a little bit," the right-hander said.
But he was brilliant after that, only surrendering a solo pop to Carlos Corporan in the fifth inning. Though Ventura's fastball wasn't quite reaching his usual triple-digit speed, his command and changeup kept the Astros from jumping on it.
"It wasn't any surprise the way he was going to attack us," said Astros manager Bo Porter. "It was pretty much power fastball and, 'Here it is, let's play boys.' We didn't do too much with it."
The Dominican Republic native's final conquest came in the seventh, maneuvering out of a two-on, two-out jam with the game still in the balance.
"That was the biggest positive, the great job of getting us out of the seventh," Yost said. " He had a great first pitch changeup to Fowler to turn it over to the bullpen."
Wade Davis and Greg Holland took over from there and combined to strike out five Astros to nail down Ventura's breakthrough.
Ventura also tossed six shutout frames against Tampa Bay last week but got a no-decision in the 1-0 loss. All told, Kansas City starters now have a 2.59 ERA in 12 starts this season.
"The way our pitchers have thrown, we got to find a way to produce runs for them," Hosmer said. "Tonight was a good step."
With arms like Ventura, four runs could viably pass for an offensive onslaught. With the hint of pop the Royals' bats showed, they hope that's setting the bar too low.

I met Stacey through a referral when I was looking to sell my home in 2005. Ten years later, and four different home transactions later, I not only consider her my realtor but she has also become a friend. Through each of these home transactions she was there every step of the way whether it was to sit through home inspections, our title signings, or to pick out our upgrades in a new home purchase. If there was ever a time she wasn't available, her husband Craig would be there. They make a great team! I also have been very happy with the mortgage lending company they work with. I strongly recommend them and have put my trust in them over the past decade for all our real estate needs.

Stacey helped us find our first home when we moved to AZ 14 years ago, and when we were ready to move, we gave her a call.
Selling and buying simultaneously was a bit complicated, but Stacey helped us successfully navigate the process, and our move went smoothly.
With selling our house, she gave good advice on what needed to be done for repairs, staging, and pricing. We got two cash offers within the first couple days on the market, and the buyer didn't request any repairs.
With our new home purchase, Stacey helped us find what we were looking for in our price range and provided good guidance on how much we should offer based on the market. We ended up with a great home that we really like.
Stacey genuinely cares about her clients and has a wealth of experience. She knows the Valley well! If you are looking for a home, selling a home, or doing both, give her a call.

Craig and Stacey of NextHome did a wonderful job for us when we sold our home and found a new one. They met with us to explain the process, advised us on showing the home, and were with us every step of the way from listing to close. Our home sold in only a few days thanks to them. Stacey in particular was the Realtor we went through when we first moved to Arizona, so we have actually worked with her twice. Both times, she met us at all our appointments, went to bat for us on whatever we wanted, and put herself in our shoes. Stacey is very experienced and very good at what she does. Should we ever decide to move again, she will be the first person to know. I would highly recommend Stacey and Craig to anyone looking for a Realtor! Thanks to you both!

Stacey did an awesome job helping us find and purchase our new home. She is extremely knowledgeable and always responsive. As out of state buyers, we started our journey over 3 years ago. Stacey was patient and stuck with us all the way. When we finally committed to making the leap, Stacey went above and beyond to accommodate us. She spent hours on the phone with us, walking us through the buying process in Arizona, and helping us to determine a plan. She also assisted us by visiting houses and letting us view them via FaceTime before we were able to come out. When we did make a last minute trip, Stacey gave us her full attention and took us to visit a multitude of properties in person. By listening to what we said - and what we didn't say- Stacey formulated a solid understanding of what a house would need to have to become our dream home. When it came time to negotiate, Stacey was an excellent communicator and obviously skilled. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and will always be grateful to Stacey for helping make our dream a reality. We lucked out when we found Stacey and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch, dedicated, exceptional agent.

We honestly do not know what we would have done without Stacey's guidance, experience and support during the process of buying our home. We were from out of state and had a limited opportunity to find and make an offer on a home.
We truly felt like she was watching out for us the entire time. She knows the area so well and she knew what areas provided the amenities we were looking for in a second home. I work as a Realtor in another state so I sat the bar really high and Stacey surpassed all of my expectations.
We fell in love with our condo (and the entire community). That's when we saw Stacey's expertise shine through. She fought for us the entire time. We purchased a property that was in the frame stage of construction and she literally carried us through the design center (I'm pretty sure we would still be there trying to pick out finishes if she hadn't been there to help us out). She made sure she was there to represent us during the inspection process since we were out of state. I don't know what we would have done without her.
She kept in constant contact with us the entire time, even though we were in a different state. She took care of us through any issues that came up during the purchase, protected us the entire time, and she dealt with issues so we didn't have to. She handled everything and it reduced the stress that we were under.
But the service did not end with the closing of our home. She made sure to check on our house as we were out of state. Once we closed, she provided us with a list of resources in our area that were businesses we could rely on. We have used more than one service she recommended and we have not been disappointed. Stacey is well known in the area and has a fantastic reputation.
Stacey still checks on us. It is rare to find a service level like what we were shown. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. The bar is instantly raised when you work with Stacey. She works tirelessly to ensure that your goal to buy or sell a home is as smooth a process as possible. If we ever sell this house or need to purchase another one, we would definitely utilize Stacey again. We have such gratitude for her helping us to realize our dream of owning a second home in Arizona and we fully realize what a major role she had in making our dream a reality.

do not put my name or photo online or elsewhere.
Stacey is easy to get along with, makes herself available and is great with other agents. Her ability to get along with a selling agent and her ability to negotiate on my behalf in a timely fashion led to my being able to purchase my house. She was also able to point me in a few directions after the purchase.

I could not be happier with my 1st time home buying experience. From the minute I sat down with Stacey to the minute I got my keys I always felt I had the BEST person by my side. She listened to what I wanted and we found my perfect home with-in the first week of working together. She was always available to answer all my questions and is extremely knowledgeable. I got exactly what I wanted because of her and I am so very grateful!

We found Stacey about three years ago when looking for a second home in the Phoenix area. Stacey started sending us the listings while we were living in Michigan and spent many hours on the phone and on-line with us over a period of time. When I came to Phoenix, she spent two full days with us touring homes. She quickly picked up on exactly what I wanted, and we ended up purchasing a home off of one of her recommendations, rather than what I had found myself. After we moved permanently to Phoenix, we decided we wanted a bigger home closer in to the city and once again, Stacey helped us find just the perfect home. She was completely awesome - my very first Phoenix friend. With her help, we not only found a beautiful forever home, but I found a job and a total feeling of belonging here. I can't say enough good things about her. Her husband Craig helped us sell our first Phoenix home very quickly in a slow market and area, and together, they make the best team of realtors I have ever known. They work so hard to make your transition into a new area the best it could possibly be and go above and beyond with everything. I will always recommend Stacey and Craig to anyone who needs a realtor - they are THE BEST!

Stacey is very professional, efficient and responsible. She is extremely helpful for my new home hunting and my settlement in this new place. She is always avalible for any of my needs. She is very familiar with this area and always gives good suggestions and recommendations. I feel very lucky to find her otherwise I won't make such a great choice of the house. She also provides lots of good contacts and information to help me find the right stuff and right person. She drove me around the area and introduced to me, and also helped me to find my baby's day care. She exactly understand the customer's needs and has been very patient. I highly recommend her as your next House purchasing agent!

Stacey is a great agent. She helped us a lot not just for house hunting but also anything she knows about the neighborhood. She is patient, kindhearted, professional with the knowledge of real estate and works fast and efficiently. I was really moved when she spent hours to show us around all the facilities, resources and funs in the whole Chandler area. She is now our good friend, and we would ask her for any information about the community. We highly recommend her as your agent!

I met Stacey through a referral when I was looking to sell my home in 2005. Ten years later, and four different home transactions later, I not only consider her my realtor but she has also become a friend. Through each of these home transactions she was there every step of the way whether it was to sit through home inspections, our title signings, or to pick out our upgrades in a new home purchase. If there was ever a time she wasn't available, her husband Craig would be there. They make a great team! I also have been very happy with the mortgage lending company they work with. I strongly recommend them and have put my trust in them over the past decade for all our real estate needs.

Stacey Akers is an excellent realtor. She truly cares about putting you into the home that will fit your family. There were several times where she could have suggested a home for our family that would be a quick sell for her. Instead, she only directed us to homes that were a true fit in spite of the fact it might take longer for her to make a sale. If you want a realtor that truly cares, contact Stacey.

Stacey and team were awesome when we were looking for a new home. She had great knowledge of the process, properties, and communities! Even though we were moving from out of state, they made themselves available during our transition and helped us find a property we can truly call home. We would definitely recommend Stacey or Craig for your buying or selling needs.

Stacey has a gift of listening and then putting all your wants together into finding the best home. We started out all over the place and very quickly she pulled out key information crucial to our home buying process. She is professional and made the whole process painless. I have confidently recommended her services to others and we are happier than we could have ever imagined with our new home.

In any financial institution auditing is crucial – it's no different with my company – as such we wanted to make sure that there was at least a minimum level of auditing occurring at the site collection level. From the site collection settings page you can get to the "Site collection audit settings" page where some basic auditing can be enabled. For more complex stuff you can setup custom policies and associate them at various levels. However, for our initial deployment we wanted to at least have some of these basic settings enabled for every site collection. To automate these settings during our upgrade I created a new command: gl-setauditsettings. This command turned out to be really easy to create and only took me a few minutes. Only thing I stumbled on was figuring out the best way to handle replacing, adding, or removing settings so that I didn't have to create more than one command. In the end I opted for a simple mode parameter which enables you to state your intent – each setting is then a simple parameter that's passed in. The code, shown below, gets the SPAudit object via the SPSite's Audit property and then sets the AuditFlags property appropriately:
1: public override int Run(string command, StringDictionary keyValues, out string output)
2: {
3: output = string.Empty;
5: InitParameters(keyValues);
7: string url = Params["url"].Value.TrimEnd('/');
8: ModeEnum mode = (ModeEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof (ModeEnum), Params["mode"].Value, true);
10: using (SPSite site = new SPSite(url))
11: {
12: // Initialize the mask to it's default.
13: SPAuditMaskType auditMask = SPAuditMaskType.None;
14: if (mode != ModeEnum.Replace)
15: auditMask = site.Audit.AuditFlags; // We're not replacing the mask so we need to store the current settings.
17: if (mode == ModeEnum.Remove)
18: {
19: // Remove settings
20: foreach (SPAuditMaskType mask in Enum.GetValues(typeof(SPAuditMaskType)))
21: {
22: if (Params[mask.ToString()].UserTypedIn)
23: auditMask = auditMask & ~mask;
24: }
25: }
26: else
27: {
28: // Add settings (replace is just an add but starts with a blank slate)
29: foreach (SPAuditMaskType mask in Enum.GetValues(typeof(SPAuditMaskType)))
30: {
31: if (Params[mask.ToString()].UserTypedIn)
32: auditMask = auditMask | mask;
33: }
34: }
35: // Update the Audit object with the new flags
36: site.Audit.AuditFlags = auditMask;
37: site.Audit.Update();
38: }
40: return 1;
41: }
The syntax of the command can be seen below:
C:\>stsadm -help gl-setauditsettings stsadm -o gl-setauditsettings Set the events that should be audited for documents, items, lists, libraries, and sites within the site collection. Parameters: -url <site collection url> -mode <replace | add | remove> [-none] [-checkout] [-checkin] [-view] [-delete] [-update] [-profilechange] [-childdelete] [-schemachange] [-securitychange] [-undelete] [-workflow] [-copy] [-move] [-search] [-all]
Here's an example of how to enable auditing of the delete and undelete events in addition to any existing events already monitored:
stsadm -o gl-setauditsettings -url "http://intranet" -mode add -delete -undelete
One thing to be aware of – when you edit these settings via the browser you are, in some circumstances, editing more than one setting at a time. For example, via the browser you cannot choose to audit delete events and not undelete events – they are combined into one setting. Using this command allows you to set the audit settings at a finer level so you can track just delete events without tracking undelete (in most cases you'll want to track both but it's nice to know that you can now treat them separately). Note however that if you use this command to enable just delete and not undelete the browser will show the check box for "Deleting or restoring items" as checked as it does an or comparison when enabling the check box.

Last week, I posted some of the apple activities we've done with our apple unit in An Apple A Day (part 1).
Along with the usual art and science lessons that we do, we manage to work lots of math and literacy practice in with our apple unit.I asked each student to tell me one thing about an apple and together we wrote a chart story.
We played a math game with large apple die cuts. We rolled a die and placed the corresponding number of pipe cleaner "worms" on the apple. After we'd each had a few turns rolling, we counted and compared the number of worms on our apples.
I had these cool worksheets from The Virtual Vine, but since we don't do any worksheets anymore, I am trying to re-purpose some of the great worksheets I have on hand already. I put each page in a page protector and the students placed beans on the apple to represent seeds. After the first group tried this, one of the friends asked if they could use some of the acorns we'd collected from the playground.
We sequenced the life cycle of an apple.
We also made a book and illustrated it ourselves!
Feel free to share your apple links and ideas in the comments!

Make it Complementary!
There are no hard and fast rules to follow when working with color, but there are some concepts to know and which might help you make your color decisions. Complementary colors are those that fall directly across from each other on the colorwheel like blue/orange or red/green. By their nature complementary colors are a dynamic combination. Sometimes a bit of a color's complement goes a long way to spice up a quilt. If true complements are too bold for you, they can be toned down a bit by using less saturated version of the colors.
Today's featured quilt is Karen Anderson Abraham's 'What's for Breakfast'. Though there isn't a lot of color in Karen's quilt, the complements of blue and orange stand out in the surrounding neutrals while adding a bit of sparkle to her quilt. Karen's quilt is a wonderful example of how a little color goes a long way.
Karen's thoughts on her quilt:
"It started with a vision of neutrals that I had been thinking about for quite a while. I mostly used scraps and leftovers of whites, off whites, light browns, muslin, etc. that I had laying around the sewing room. Some even picked up off the floor.
I think my biggest challenge with this quilt was finding a way to make a very quiet, monotone color palette have some interest and draw the viewer in in some way while remaining true to my wish for a mostly neutral quilt. My constant inclination was to add more color to create visual interest but kept reminding myself of my mostly neutral, mostly solids vision; "color restraint" became my mantra. In order to make the quilt interesting without much color, I tried to really vary the neutrals and piece together interesting sections with the whites, off whites, creams and my favorite stone colored linen. I think very subtle variations in tone with these "colors" can create lovely shading and an interesting yet very calming overall effect.
I don't know much about color theory beyond your basic color wheel stuff so my thoughts on that are pretty limited. I just used the colors I was drawn to and that were visually pleasing to me. The blue had a cool calmness to it, while the yellow and orange added warmth to the overall piece. I put a couple of shots of brown in there because I just love the grounding effect that brown can have, and it's one of my favorite colors- yes, I said brown is one of my favorite colors, is that weird? 🙂
More about Karen:
Karen has been quilting about 5 years and even with a couple of babies and little time has figured it out on her own. Karen says, "I'm still learning a lot and have only completed a handful of quilts. I work slowly and my process is very intuitive." She is a founding member of the Santa Barbara Modern Quilt Guild and blogs at Bloomingpoppies. We appreciate that she has taken what time she has to become a quilter! You can see more of Karen's work in her Flickr photostream.

I have checked out the ZB code from SVN and am currently trying to get it to run (and do some modifications)
There is a bug in TerrainData.cpp:
- Code: Select all
for (int i=0; i<4; ++i)
for (int j=0; j<4; ++j)
x_interpol [i] += h_base[j-1 + (i-1)*width_]*cx[j];
xd_interpol[i] += h_base[j-1 + (i-1)*width_]*cxd[j];
which is obviousely wrong (for i=0 and j=0, this yields a negative index into the h_base array).
However, I'm not very familiar with the code. So could you point me into the right direction to fix this? I'd really like to do some development on that code
EDIT: Okay, looking at the code a bit more, it actually seems correct (but maybe not the most command semantic).
Anyway, the game crashes for me at that code.
I tried to replace it with this:
- Code: Select all
x_interpol[i] = height_data_[hbase_loc + (j-1 + (i-1)*width_)];
xd_interpol[i] = height_data_[hbase_loc + (j-1 + (i-1)*width_)];
where hbase_loc is int hbase_loc = x_int + z_int * width_;.
It doesn't crash any more, however, it still doesn't work correctly. The heightmap seems to be messed up resulting in the tank either not driving at all or jumping through the map :/
edit 2: nvm.. I forgot the * cx[j]. It seems to work correctly with that now.

West Grove girl holds benefits for diabetes research
By ACL
Amelia Rehrman, center, with her brother, Ben, her mother, Lydia, and her sister, Maddie.
By Richard L. Gaw
Staff Writer
At a time in her life when it would be perfectly acceptable for 11-year-old Amelia Rehrman of West Grove to hide her Type 1 diabetes from the world, she has done the exact opposite. With Amelia's Diabetes Dash having celebrated its fifth anniversary last Saturday morning at the New Garden Township Park, the condition she has lived with since she was 4 years old has remained a public thing.
For the fifth consecutive year, the community came out to ride bikes, scooters, roller skates, run or simply walk in an event that raised funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Sponsors of the event included the New Garden Township Department of Parks and Recreation, Giant, Costco, Whole Foods, Starbucks, The Fresh Market, the Philly Pretzel Factory, Palm-a-Bagel, Pack-N-Ship, and Sam Talbot. Donations were made of several items, including gift cards, cookbooks, gift baskets and raffles. During the five-year run of Amelia's Diabetes Dash, the event has raised close to $500 for the JDRF.
"One day I was riding my bike when I was younger, and I decided that because I was living with Type 1 Diabetes, that I would have a bike race to raise money for people who are living with diabetes," said Amelia, who worked with her mother, Lydia, in organizing the event. "It's turned out to be a great way to raise money and just have a lot of fun with my friends."
This past August, Rehrman was one of two delegates selected by the Delaware branch of the JDRF to attend the Children's Congress in Washington, D.C. There, she met several celebrities whose lives are impacted by diabetes, including actress Mary Mouser, race car driver Charlie Kimball and journalist Leslee Adkins. Writing on her blog, Rehrman said that the conference was the first time she felt comfortable living with diabetes.
"I could be anywhere and somebody would always know how to help me if my blood sugar were to get too high or too low," she wrote. "I felt independent. I felt more free than I ever felt before. Free to be me."

Google has long been known as one of the world's most innovative companies and they are once again raising the bar for packaging of high-end consumer electronic goods by choosing to launch the latest edition of the Chromebook laptop in a custom designed plant fiber tray. Google partnered with Be Green Packaging to develop and ultimately manufacture the tray in the company's state of the art production facilities.
This past year, Be Green Packaging had major R&D breakthroughs which led to the introduction of zero degree draft angle technology, making it possible to execute complex designs that the tech industry had been demanding.
"The new technology that Be Green has exclusively developed opens the door to a whole range of design capabilities that allow us to take tree-free, plant fiber packaging into new markets and areas. In every sense, this is the future of packaging." stated Robert Richman, Be Green's President of Manufacturing.
Be Green's proprietary plant fiber blend offers a number of benefits over traditional forms of packaging such as paperboard and plastic. The fibers Be Green works with are rapidly renewable, abundant and grow like weeds in many parts of the world, unlike trees, which take years to develop and mature and are being cut down faster than they can be replenished. Unlike plastic, no petrochemicals are used in the manufacturing of Be Green's plant fiber blend. Furthermore, the company holds seven eco-social certifications from some of the world's most respected, independent organizations such as the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, the Non-GMO Project, the Biodegradable Products Institute and the USDA Biobased Product Program, among others.
As a founding principle of the company, Be Green Packaging's current business model has been shaped in thought and practice by adherence to the triple bottom line philosophy. "Embracing the environment and social equity in addition to profitability is part of our overarching goal of being a truly holistic, sustainable enterprise," said Ron Blitzer, CEO, of the company's ideals. "Our commitment to getting our products, facilities and operations independently certified is helping us lead the industry in terms of accountability and transparency and forward-thinking companies like Google recognize and appreciate that."
Google's new Chromebook laptop has begun shipping from online retailers worldwide and will be hitting retail shelves in the coming weeks and months.
*No sustainability claims are yet being made for the new Google Chromebook packaging and it is currently undergoing testing for a potential Cradle to Cradle Bronze certification, although nothing has yet been awarded. All sustainability claims are made only for Be Green Packaging's plant fiber blend which is used in all Be Green Packaging products.

Food & Drink Favorites From Wine Enthusiast's Toast of the Town
March and April are some of the best months of the year, not only because the blooming flora and fauna unleash the Spring fever in me, but also because the calendar is packed with exciting wine and food events. Last week marked the date of one of my favorite fêtes, Wine Enthusiast's annual Toast of the Town. The party boasts a dizzying amount of wine and food amidst the elegant backdrop of San Francisco's Opera House. I went heavy on the food this year, since I'd come straight from another wine event, but I still had plenty to rave about. Read on for the best tastes of the evening.

The deal marks the first deployment of mainframe technology in Namibia.
Implementation of the IBM system was completed this month and forms part of FNB Namibia's $15 million project to localize its core banking systems and operations in Namibia. Previously, FNB Namibia, which is majority owned by FNB South Africa, had its server infrastructure and the data of more than 400,000 customers residing in South Africa.
FNB Namibia joins a growing list of companies in emerging economies relying on IBM System z to build their infrastructures.
For example, IBM in April announced its first System z sale to a commercial bank in India -- a $10 million, seven-year win at Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited Bank. Other growth markets where IBM has won new mainframe business include China, Korea and Russia.
Businesses and governments in these emerging markets are modernizing their IT systems in banking, retail and other key sectors to compete in an interconnected world. IBM System z mainframes provide one of the world's highest levels of security and are unmatched in reliably managing high levels of transactions.
The FNB Namibia project responded to a directive from the central Bank of Namibia to localize all banking infrastructure and IT systems in Namibia before the end of 2009. Working with IBM, FNB Namibia has managed to complete the project, which includes all information technology systems, documents and data relating to customer transactions, the bank's business affairs, property, assets and liabilities, well in advance of the deadline.
"FNB Namibia's investment in the latest, industry-leading IBM mainframe systems and software has helped us to build a dynamic core banking platform as well as meet all regulatory requirements," said Advocate Vekuii Rukoro, Group Chief Executive Officer of FNB Namibia Holdings, at a media briefing today. "Importantly, the project to localize Namibia's banking infrastructure has brought technological advancement, knowledge transfer and created jobs for Namibian professionals."
"The decision of FNB Namibia to select IBM for its core banking platform demonstrates the strengthening of our long relationship with the bank and its parent company in South Africa," said Oliver Fortuin, General Manager, IBM Sub-Saharan Africa. "The mainframe solution will help FNB to accommodate growth, ensure cost effectiveness, business continuity and improve services for customers."
Launched in 2008, the IBM System z10 Business Class helps organizations cut energy costs by up to 90 percent and simplify data center requirements.

While "Brilliant!" is the theme for the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's 184th Philadelphia Flower Show now underway at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the word would also be an excellent descriptor for the marketing effort dreamed up by the Chestnut Hill Business Association at the horticultural extravaganza.
On preview day for PHS members Friday, CHBA staffer Kate O'Neill and volunteer Eileen Reilly were busy handing out colorful postcards with a Calendar of Events and signing individuals up to win a daily prize package with the theme "A Perfect Day in Chestnut Hill."
Volunteers talked up the fact that Chestnut Hill is Philadelphia's official Garden District, offering flower-filled plantings along Germantown Avenue, tours of Morris Arboretum and Woodmere Art Museum, and access to the Wissahickon Valley section of the 1,400-acre Fairmount Park.
"The reaction has been very positive," said O'Neill, who noted that it is the first time the group has had a formal presence at the esteemed floral affair. "Robertson's (Flowers) helped us out with plant material and flowers, and Richard Snowden personally brought us planters, a bench, street lamps and other props that are used along the Avenue and have the feel of Chestnut Hill."
Snowden, whose late grandmother Virginia C. Wilmsen was an ardent gardener and leader in several area garden clubs and PHS supporter, said he worked on the booth in her memory.
"I remember going to her home on Montgomery Avenue in Wyndmoor and seeing Flower Show displays being put together in her garage," he said. "She was always an active volunteer for PHS, and I have fond memories of coming to the Flower Show with her as a child."
Snowden credited Robertson's with coming through with plantings at the 11th hour.
The spirit of cooperation spread among vendors from the Chestnut Hill area, said Eric Schellack, Robertson's Flower Show designer, who joked with Sean Burke, of Burke Brothers Landscape Design of Wyndmoor.
"We needed sod, and they helped us out, and they needed some items that we furnished," said Schellack, adding that he had a tough time coming up with one theme for the display this year, so he and his team created five islands with different themes. The center island depicts a wedding table with two moss-covered chairs and an oversized floral centerpiece that caught the attention of Hiller Joan Kronick and her daughter Robin who was visiting from Massachusetts. Robin Kronick said she and her mother always stopped by the Robertson's display.
"They did our flowers when I graduated from Springside [Academy], and we are big fans of their creations," she said, as her mother talked about not just the visual display but "the lovely aromas."
All of the senses will come alive, including that of hearing as you walk around to Beatles tunes like "All you need is love" and "You say yes, I say no" resounding through the British-themed show.
While the Robertson's exhibit was quite showy with high tea on the lawn, a medieval feast, a hunting party and a 60's modern theme, the Burke Brothers display was just the opposite.
The natural display titled 'In Situ', designed by Vivianne Englund-Callahan, features a walk through the woods on weathered paving stones to the remains of a crumbling rustic shelter and bench.
Sean Burke, who was manning the display, noted that the term in situ refers to using raw materials found in the area and basically working with what you have on hand.
"We want customers to feel that we can work with what they have in their present landscape by bringing it all together with additional plantings, giving them a bit of a break from traditional gardens," he said, adding that installation of the huge stones bordering the display and a half dozen mature trees took five days to install using fifteen laborers.
"It's a massive undertaking," he said.
Wyndmoor resident Mary Costello, co-founder of City Planter, was busy at her booth in the huge Marketplace, where row after row of vendors were hawking their garden-related wares.
"Its been an incredible day," said Costello, who landed a prime spot in the first row and on the corner, adjacent to where a bar was being set up for th opening formal gala. Meanwhile, Schellack and his team were busy putting together the jaw-dropping table displays for the VIP event.
Costello said she and her team developed a strategy that was "budget conscious."
"We decided to help buyers on a budget by providing smaller finished items using a lot of moss and nifty vases," Costello said, adding that the show is a great place for her to connect with others in the industry. "I was able to spend time with Paul Myers of Morris (Arboretum) where I had interned many years ago. Before long John Story, of Meadowbrook Farms, stopped by to say hello. All of the vendors share back and forth. It's a great community and a great experience."
The Flower Show runs through Sunday, March 10, featuring Family Day with a perfect Chestnut Hill tie-in with a Harry Potter celebration, drawing upon Chestnut Hill's expertise with it's Harry Potter Weekend in the fall.

According to St. Epiphanios of Cyprus (c315-403), the Elder Joseph lived to a profound old age, having entered into rest at the age of one hundred and ten years old. He reposed just before Christ entered His public ministry to preach the Gospel
- ↑ The Ministry of St. John the Baptist begins in the "15th year of Tiberius" (Luke 3:1-2). He preaches, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" (Matt 3:1-2) and baptising Christ in the Jordan (Mark 1:4-11)
- ↑ The three year ministry of Christ includes the appointment of the Twelve Apostles, Sermon on the Mount, miracles, transfiguration, etc
- ↑ The execution of Saint John the Baptist has been recorded in "Antiquitates Judaicae" in Latin published by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephhus about 93 or 94 AD, 18.5.2
- ↑ 30AD is thought to be the most accurate dating of the death, resurrection and Pentecost amongst academics and has been used for this article in lieu of 33AD.
- ↑ At the time of her death tradition states she was in her early fifties.
- ↑ Gamaliel is celebrated as a Pharisee doctor of Jewish Law, who was the teacher of Apostle Paul; the author of the Book of Acts portrays Gamaliel with great respect (Acts 5:34, 22:3)
- ↑ Apostle Andrew is traditionally thought to have been martyred in Achaia at Patras by cruxifixion.
- ↑ The death of James the Just is also recorded in "Antiquitates Judaicae" published by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, 20.9.1

- ↑ Noble Roman ladies, disciples of the Apostles Paul and Peter, whose bodies they buried. They were martyred under Nero.
- ↑ A virgin martyred in Terni in Italy at the same time as Bishop Valentine.
- ↑ The first bishop of Rome. A disciple of the Apostle Paul, he was one of the Seventy and is mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21. He was bishop for twelve years and is venerated as a martyr.
- ↑ An aged woman who welcomed the Apostle Peter in Naples and was miraculously healed by him. In her turn she convered St. Aspren who became the first Bishop of Naples.
- ↑ A matron from Rome baptised by the Apostle Peter who converted her husband and her son, St. Nazarius. Her relics are enshrined in Milan and Cremona in Italy.

- ↑ By tradition, a Galilean and the first bishop, and also martyr, of the Abruzzi in Italy.
- ↑ Brother of the Emperor Vespasian and uncle of Titus and Domitian, whose niece, Flavia Domitilla, he married. In 95AD he held a consular office together with Domitian. The following year Domitian beheaded him for the Christian faith.
- ↑ The date is uncertain. Early sources noted that he died a natural death, perhaps in Greece. A tradition dated from the ninth century tells of his martyrdom in Crimea in 102 by drowning when thrown overboard from a boat with a ship's anchor tied to him.
- ↑ They belonged to the circle of Flavia Domitilla, whome they accompanied in exile to the island of Ponza. Eventually they retured to Rome and were martyred under Trajan.
- ↑ Pretorian soldiers, by tradition baptised by the Apostle Peter, and exiled with Flavia Domitilla to Pontia and later to Terracina in Italy
- ↑ A missionary in Spain in the Apostolic Age
- ↑ Account of the miracle that occured at his grave: When over 100 years old, St. John took seven disciples outside of Ephesus and had them dig a grave in the shape of a cross. St. John then went into the grave, and the disciples buried him there, alive. Later on, when his grave was opened, St. John's body was not there. 'On May 8 of each year, dust rises up from his grave, by which the sick are healed of various diseases.'

I found this tasty little recipe on the Dainty Vegetarian blog. These are light and oh so tasty. Betcha can't eat just one!
Mexican wontons (modified by me to be nondairy; I also left out the onions)
1 package of wonton wrappers
8 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
8 ounces cooked corn niblets
1 tomato, diced small
a handful of cilantro
1 handful of soy cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Mix all the ingredients, except the wrappers, in a medium bowl. Lay one wrapper on a cutting board. Place a small amount of mixture on the center of the wrapper. Wet your finger in water and run it along one corner and the adjacent sides of the wrapper. Fold the corner to the other and press down forming a triangle shape. Press the sides together to seal. Place the wonton on a greased cookie sheet, and repeat till the sheet is full.
Spray the top of the finished wontons with cooking spray and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden. Makes between 3-4 dozen wontons.
Serve warm with your favorite salsa (I used a fire-roasted salsa from Trader Joe's – mmmmm!)

NPR Discusses Nas' Debut Album in "Illmatic": The Making Of A Classic
As the 20th anniversary for Nas' Illmatic continues, the album has proven to stand the test of time and continues to remain culturally, politically, and socially relevant. Celebrated by many as the holy grail of hip hop, Illmatic was born out of a time where hip hop music was in a transition of turmoil for many fans who were upset with the commercial material that was taking over the airwaves. It was at this critical moment that a teenage emcee would reclaim hip hop with the release of his debut album, Illmatic.
Nas, who was only 17 years old during the recording of the album, painted vivid depictions of personal struggle and real life situations that resonated with the masses, making him a household name and Illmatic a timeless classic. "Illmatic remains the pinnacle of Nas' career. The stories within it — the disappearance of the middle class, the climbing number of black men in prison — could have been written today." NPR's Frannie Kelley takes a look at the making of Nas' classic album, Illmatic with exclusive interviews from Faith Newman, Minyah Oh, and Nasir Jones, himself.

Hapless Gov. David Paterson got a little ... um, happlesslier last week.
I'm the first person to whine about all the special privileges state lawmakers get — from the taxpayer-funded mailings they use to tell taxpayers how much money they're saving them, to the $170 per diem they receive when at the state Capitol (which would be like your boss giving you a daily bonus for actually showing up at the office).
But even I was surprised to find out that the governor — New York's fourth-most powerful official (behind the Assembly speaker, whoever's got the swing vote in the state Senate that day and the New York Lottery's Yolanda Vega) — doesn't get free tickets to the World Series when a home team is in it.
So it is that hapless Gov. David Paterson got a little ... um, happlesslier last week when a special counsel ruled he could face criminal charges for testimony he gave as part of an investigation into how he got tickets to Game One of last year's World Series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. (You wouldn't have these problems, governor, if, like me, you were a Mets fan.)
It shows how far New York's politicians have fallen in public esteem that someone would even think to question their presence at a game. You wouldn't have heard anyone ask to see Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's ticket stub, or accuse New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay of being a gate-jumper. Heck, for Mayor Rudy Giuliani used to crash in the Yankees' clubhouse, between wives Nos. 2 and 3, and no one said boo.
So I would have expected Paterson's testimony to have gone something like this:
SPECIAL COUNSEL: Mr. Governor, how did it happen that you were in attendance at Game One of last year's World Series?
PATERSON: I'm the flipping governor!
In fact, Paterson evidently expected this to be the case, too, according to the Associated Press.
"This was the first game of the World Series," the AP quoted Paterson as saying. "It's always a national event, like the Academy Awards or, you know, governor's state address or something like that."
Yeah, we all know how brutal ticket scalpers can be at those governor's state addresses.
So Paterson may yet face charges, for perjury of all things. Or not. As David Grandeau, former head of the state's lobbying commission, told AP reporter Michael Gormley (who must have swooned when he got this nugget in his notebook), "If everyone in that Capitol who lies is going to be charged with perjury, the district attorney better hire a lot more prosecutors."
In fact, it's unlikely charges will be filed. Since ascending to office in March 2008 following predecessor Eliot Spitzer's call girl-related resignation, Gov. Paterson has endured rumors of past personal indiscretions; admitted to marital infidelities; presided over a whopping 9-percent state budget hike last year, a four-months-late budget this year and a state Senate coup that shut down the government for a month; mishandled the appointment of former Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's successor, angering both the Clinton and Kennedy families; suggested withholding New Yorkers' income-tax returns, taxing their sodas and forcing them to buy costly new drivers' licenses; faced allegations that he had tampered with a witness in a staffer's domestic-abuse case; was charged with lying about World Series tickets; and was forced to abandon his bid for election this fall to stave off calls for his immediate resignation.
In short, he's been punished enough.
We all have.

Chinese-style braised beef one-pot
Great for casual entertaining, when you fancy a warming beef stew but with some more vibrant flavours

- protein54g
- salt2.39g
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil
Olive oilol-iv oyl
Probably the most widely-used oil in cooking, olive oil is pressed from fresh olives. It's…
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- good thumb-size piece fresh root ginger, peeled and shredded
- 1 bunch spring onions, sliced
Spring onionsp-ring un-yun
Also known as scallions or green onions, spring onions are in fact very young onions, harvested…
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 1½ kg braising beef, cut into large pieces (we used ox cheek)
The classic choice of meat for a British Sunday roast. Beef is full of flavour, as…
- 2 tbsp plain flour, well seasoned
- 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 star anise (optional)
Star anisestar an-eese
Star anise is one of the central spices in Chinese cooking. It has a strong anise flavour, with…
- 2 tsp light muscovado sugar (or use whatever you've got)
- 3 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce, plus more to serve
Soy saucesoy sor-s
An Asian condiment and ingredient that comes in a variety of of varieties ranging from light to…
- 500ml beef stock (we used Knorr Touch of Taste)
- steamed bok choi and steamed basmati rice, to serve
Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large, shallow casserole. Fry the garlic, ginger, onions and chilli for 3 mins until soft and fragrant. Tip onto a plate. Toss the beef in the flour, add 1 tbsp more oil to the pan, then brown the meat in batches, adding the final tbsp oil if you need to. It should take about 5 mins to brown each batch properly.
Add the five-spice and star anise (if using) to the pan, tip in the gingery mix, then fry for 1 min until the spices are fragrant. Add the sugar, then the beef and stir until combined. Keep the heat high, then splash in the wine or sherry, scraping up any meaty bits. Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2.
Pour in the soy and stock (it won't cover the meat completely), bring to a simmer, then tightly cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 1½-2 hrs, stirring the meat halfway through. The meat should be very soft, and any sinewy bits should have melted away. Season with more soy. This can now be chilled and frozen for up to 1 month.
Nestle the cooked bok choi into the pan, then bring to the table with the basmati rice straight away and tuck in.
Recipe Tip
Braising beefWhen stewing, look for meat marbled with good streaks of fat and sinew throughout – these will break down during slow cooking and give you the most tender meat. If you can get it, ox cheek is fantastic value and rich in flavour – perfect for this dish.

Last night I was trying to catch up on my Google Reader and I ran across this amazing recipe on Meghann's blog, The Inner Workings of a College Graduate. You all know that I love all things pumpkin, so I knew that I had to make these. I only had to make a few changes to make them gluten-free.
3 1/2 cups gluten-free flour mix (*I used Carol Fenster's sorghum mix)
2 1/2 tsps xanthan gum
3 tsps cinnamon
3 tsps pumpkin pie spice (I didn't have all the individual spices)
I loved these scones!! Not too sweet, great texture and pumpkin flavor. I have never had a scone before – gluten-free or not. I don't know what I was thinking! I wish I would have started eating these before now! I am taking these with me to Atlanta to share with my family. 🙂

Hi everyone,
following quite a few discussions about simple, delimited and hierarchical keywords I am finally thinking of changing my PSu preferences to no longer write delimited keywords. I don't want to go into pros and cons, but simply would appreciate some advice on how to bet go about this.
Here are my current sync settings for writing keywords:
Keywords processing: Replace keywords with Catalog labels
Write hierarchical keywords: enabled
Write delimited keywords: enabled, delimiter: "|"
no other option enabled...
Here the ones for writing keywords:
Always convert IPTC keywords to XMP first
Keywords processing: Merge keywords with existing Catalog labels
Geo Location processing: Up to Location Level
Read hierarchical keywords: enabled
Read delimited keywords: enabled, delimiter: "|"
no other option enabled...
Here my questions:
When migrating from IDI to PSu I had quite a few problems with the ICS schema and therefore disabled writing to it. I plan to turn that back on, but wonder it that will have any possible side effect. Will converting the old dc:subject labels from delimited ones to simple ones be affected in any way by enabling turning ICS writing on again?
I would prefer simply turning off writing delimited keywords, but would like to still keep reading keywords delimited by the "|" enabled! My rationale behind is this: I have used delimited keywords for many years using not only my own database, but also a few other ones. I would like PSu to be able to properly understand these files during import, i.e., assign a delimited keyword that it encounters to its proper place in my catalog hierarchy. Therefore I would also keep the setting "Merge keywords with existing Catalog labels" enabled.
I have read Vlad's exhaustive discussion on the different options to also assign parent keywords and switching from delimited to simple keywords I am now tempted to enable "Include all Parent level labels as keywords"...
Now, what I don't want is inadvertently having PSu create labels in the "Miscellaneous" category. For thousands of images having to clean up that category would be a bit of a pain. I did previously experiment a bit with the settings and ever so often things end up under "Miscellaneous". I am not sure how this would have happens, perhaps I inadvertent had my read processing settings set to "Replace Catalog labels with existing keywords"?
In theory things should be pretty straight forward, simply disable "Write delimited keywords", but I know from experience that in some instances assigning labels to files not only writes metadata from the files, but also reads them. One example Geo Location processing. The setting can only be enabled under "Read", but with the setting enabled assigning Geo Information through the Geo Panel also creates new labels (if they ´do not previously exist) This means these new labels are also written, not just read.
Not sure if all this makes sense. I guess I just want to make sure that changing keywords of thousands and thousands of files from delimited to simple one will no make a mess out of my catalog...
Thanks for your advice,
help needed to switch from delimited to simple keywords

How will people know you're wealthy enough to afford a Leica, if they can't see the iconic red dot? I suppose those-in-the-know will assume its absence meant you spent $1,995 upgrading it to be like their new M9-P, which foregoes the red dot for photographers' safety.
Obviously the removal of a red dot alone doesn't cost two grand—oh no, they'll also replace the LCD screen with sapphire glass, and coat it in rugged vulcanite leatherette. I love that Leica is offering this option to current M9 owners who may be slighted over this new-and-improved model coming out and eclipsing their own camera, but isn't guessing when the best—ie, safest—time to buy a product just part of the fun?
