Trinitas Cellars Blog
Thanks for helping celebrate my birthday!
Yesterday was my 5th birthday. While I'm nervous about being another year older, I am excited for any reason to celebrate with friends and family! Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate my 5th birthday! The birthday cake and Trinitas wine were DELICIOUS!
Woof Woof,
Baking Holiday Treats!
Christmas cookie baking is finally here, woof! Oh how I love the smell of cookies in the oven and Mom spilling goodies all over the floor. This is the one time of year that my Mom lets me clean the floors! ;-) Baking cookies is one of my favorite holiday traditions; the family gathers in the kitchen with a bottle of wine and all our ingredients laid out and we share a lot of laughter and stories while making a mess!
We have been preparing for Christmas cookie baking since December 1st. Mom makes all kinds of Christmas cookies from peanut butter cookies - which I get to lick the spoon of, to Christmas wreaths with mini M&M's on them. The wreath cookies are a family favorite and have been in our family for many years. No one will let me eat them, since they have chocolate, but they sure look good, and I've heard that they pair particularly well with our Mysterium red blend wine!
Cookie baking time, as you all know, is a great occasion to spend time with your family. I wish I could participate in the frosting of the sugar cookies but I just don't have the will power not to eat the cookie or the frosting container for that matter. I guess that's why mom puts it on such a high counter top. I barely can reach it; my paws almost can make it over the counter. Let's be serious, if that counter was just a tad bit shorter; it would be dangerous!
I think mom is yelling my name... I'm off to go clean the floors.
Happy Holidays everyone, and if you have some extra holiday treats, don't hesitate to send them my way!
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
Merry Christmas Trinitas Family! Welcome to my first blog post… it's taken me a while to learn how to type with my paws! My name is June Busch and I am a Goldendoodle from Southern California. My family started Trinitas Cellars and I am their official Trinitas wine dog, woof! What a life it is to be a wine dog, fellow pups you may want to look into it. I am 4 years old in dog years, which makes me 28 years old in human years so don't worry I'm of age, cheers to that!
Tis the season for Christmas traditions; just last night we took a trip down to the tree lot to pick out my first ever REAL Christmas tree. Now that I know what a real Christmas tree smells like, I just don't think I can go back to those plastic imposters! Mom put colored lights on the tree this year, which I am a huge fan of since they really bring out my shimmering gold colored coat. I especially love this time of year because every night Mom lights up the fireplace and the whole family will snuggle up on the couch with a glass of wine while we watch Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. By the way, my favorite movie is the one where the dog saves Christmas! This year, our favorite wine to drink while we cuddle up by the fire is the Old Vine Petite Sirah, yum yum. Red wine is the best during the holidays for the following reasons. One, it's red, which of course is the color of Christmas and the color of Santa Paws's coat. And two, it warms you up, which makes it like an adult version of hot chocolate!
Trinitas family and friends, I hope you all enjoy this holiday season! Continue the wonderful Christmas traditions of decorating the tree, enjoying the fireplace, watching Christmas movies and of course enjoying a bottle of Trinitas wine! Yum yum!

FIRST-PERSON: A current American allegory
"PLEASANTVILLE" (BP) -- Governor Brumble stands nervously at the press conference podium at the governor's mansion in Pleasantville, the capitol of Sunnyvale. "I want to welcome everyone here tonight," she begins, "because our state is always welcoming.
"Welcome citizens and non-citizens. Welcome new business and old business. If someone says, 'Thank you,' in Sunnyvale, we always say, 'You're welcome.' That's just who we are. There is no higher priority in our state than making people feel welcome."
"Is that a higher priority than the First Amendment?" a reporter interrupts.
"You're welcome to ask that," Gov. Brumble replies. "Of course, the First Amendment is important, too. We always protect religious freedom and all that stuff. But today the issue is welcoming businesses to Sunnyvale.
"And so we want to give a 'shout out' and a special welcome to the WWF and the Super Brawl," the governor gushes.
"Did they really threaten to refuse to do business here," the reporter asks, "if you signed the 'right to refuse to do business for religious reasons' law?"
"Well, now, the WWF has every right to refuse to do business with folks they disagree with. They are welcome to do that," Governor Brumble notes. "But we want to assure them that they don't need to, because we are changing our convictions to match their convictions to make them feel welcome here in Sunnyvale."
The governor adds, "We are not going to sign that silly law that allows Sunnyvale citizens to refuse to do business with people they disagree with, based on some religious conscience -- whatever that means."
"But shouldn't your citizens have the same rights of conscience that WWF has?" the reporter asks.
"No, no, that's the point I want to make today. We want to assure the WWF that they are welcome. Everyone is welcome."
"Everyone? Even people who supported the new law?" the reporter continues.
"Well, almost everyone," Gov. Brumble stumbles. "Unless you are one of -- them." And with embarrassment, she points a nervous finger toward an anteroom that is cordoned off for the elected lawmakers who sponsored the bill.
Pleasantville's Mayor Sludgepump steps beside the governor and says: "Let me be plain. We don't welcome extremists here, you know, those whackos who actually think their religious beliefs have anything to do with their marketplace decisions. If they can't get with the program, we pleasantly say: 'Get outta town. There's no place for the likes of you in Sunnyvale.'"
"But what about their rights of conscience?" the reporter persists. "If it's a good thing for the WWF to act on corporate conscience, why is it a bad thing to allow mom-and-pop stores to do the same?"
"No comparison," Sludgepump scolds. "Totally different. We're talking the Super Brawl here. You're ridiculous."
"You're welcome," the reporter responds. "But the text of the bill I have in my hand says nothing about "right to refuse service" or "to discriminate against gays." It simply amends our state law to align it with the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. It protects the right to assert religious conscience as a defense in a lawsuit that invokes state law, and it applies to individual and corporate persons. What's wrong with allowing folks to assert this defense of conscience and let a judge decide?"
"Conscience-shmonscience," Sludgepump thinks to himself. "Next thing, the bleeding-heart reporter will be worried about forcing a kosher deli to serve at a Nazi rally. Or forcing an African American photographer to video a Ku Klux Klan rally."
"Well, I think you may be right that the bill merely follows the federal law," the Governor Brumble bumbles, "and, as you say, the words 'refuse to serve' are not in the bill, but I hear there are dangerous, broad, general terms in the bill that might be stretched by the courts to cause unintended consequences. My advisers say the bill is just too broad and general to be safe."
The reporter presses by quoting the First Amendment: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'" The first 16 words in the Bill of Rights, the reporter notes, are "broad, general words designed to broadly protect rights of conscience."
"Whatever," Governor Brumble of Sunnyvale mumbles.

Taurine is found in high concentrations in muscle, brain, heart and blood. A person weighing 70 kg has approximately 70 g of taurine distributed throughout their body. Put another way, a 70 kg person naturally already has in his body 70 times the amount of taurine contained in one can of Red Bull Energy Drink.
Taurine is also contained in different foodstuffs like scallops, fish, poultry and most infant formulas.

12 Chilling Comments You Don't Want to Hear from Your Dentist
No one likes going to the dentist. Even the most routine visit can produce more human pain than a CIA interrogation or a Fellini film festival.
The scariest part is it's hard to see exactly what the dentist is doing or know what's going on with the large metal objects the staff is shoving into your body, unless you can take your eyes out of your head like Rubber Man. These exclamations and questions from your tooth physician should immediately cause misdirected panic and fear.
1. "I've never seen anything like this and I did my undergraduate work in Great Britain."
2. "Quick! The nitrous is wearing off! Put your pants back on and clean up all this gravy!"
3. "So this other patient hasn't flossed in 30 years and one of his teeth just snapped off like a twig. You should have seen the look on his face."
4. "American Dental Association, schmental association. Dental tools are dental tools whether you buy them from a medical supplier or a Home Depot."
5. "You need a dental license?"
6. "Your insurance called us back and they won't cover your cavity because they consider having teeth to be a pre-existing condition."
7. "Seriously, you really need something called a dental license?"
8. "Did you ever see that movie 'Marathon Man?'"
9. "Okay, no more jokes, I'm totally not joking anymore. Do I REALLY need a dental license?"
10. "Sorry about that. That was my last patient. Apparently, he was brushing his teeth and, well, let's just say that lost dental drills always show up in the last place you look."
11. "If I had a nickel for every time I heard one of my patients scream the name of their god to beg them for mercy..."
12. "Here's your bill. You have 30 days to pay it or we'll have to repossess the molars."

Quick Tip: Use Spice Shakers to Dust Work Surface, Pizza Peel with Flour
As I said earlier today, I believe you can always pick up tips from an experienced pizzamaker, no matter how much of a pie prodigy you think you are.* Something simple I learned during my Pizza a Casa experience? Use a spice/cheese shaker to dust your work surface with flour.
Sure, you can use your hands, but I've found that a shaker has helped me distribute my bench flour more lightly and evenly across my work surface — a plus when you're trying to minimize the amount of uncooked flour coming into contact with your dough.
And while this might not be an aha! tip for more experienced bakers (who might already have a flour shaker in their arsenal), if you're just starting out with pizza, you may not have come by this realization.
You can pick up these condiment shakers at restaurant-supply stores for a few bucks each; that's where I purchased mine — originally to serve red pepper flakes in.
At Pizza a Casa, Mark Bello has students use a shaker with a fine mesh to distribute semolina flour on the peels. Semolina is more coarse than your bench flour would be — somewhere just short of corn meal — and makes your peel super slippery so your dough doesn't stick.
* Not that I think I'm a pizza prodigy. I'm actually fairly ground-level compared to a lot of the folks who frequent this site.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Less than a month after state lawmakers passed a ban on texting and driving, the Florida Highway Patrol is gearing up for a deadly summer focusing on distracted drivers.
There are more fatal accidents during the 100 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day than any other time of the year.
Through commercials, the National Transportation Safety Board and AT&T continue to step up "It Can Wait," a campaign against texting and driving. The people in the commercials talk about how texting while driving dramatically changed their lives.
"This is the unfinished text message our son was sending when he went off the road and died of a massive skull fracture," one parent in a commercial says.
This past legislative session, lawmakers approved Florida's first ever ban on texting and driving in the state.
"We're talking about an activity that is equivalent to drinking four beers very quickly," said Rep. Doug Holder.
The texting ban, if signed into law, will take effect Oct. 1. The bill has yet to be delivered to the governor's desk, but even without it, police have begun focusing more on distracted driving.
"It has deadly consequences. We have crashes everyday that are from distracted driving," said Capt. Nancy Rasmussen, of the Florida Highway Patrol.
In the most recent Florida statistics, more than 2,200 people died in car crashes. Officers are doing everything they can to curve those numbers. During the summer, more officers will be patrolling the roadways to keep an eye out for distracted drivers.
"Our numbers increase during this period of time just because we know the motorists are increasing," Rasmussen said. "The more people we have patrolling the roads, the better we'll be."
Drivers caught texting will face a $30 if the bill is signed.

Questions Raised About Driver's Account of 'Runaway Toyota' Incident
Toyota and the feds Test James Sikes' Prius, can't recreate sudden acceleration.
March 15, 2010 -- Attempts by federal investigators and Toyota technicians to recreate the experience described by a San Diego driver who said his Toyota Prius raced out of control have raised questions about the driver's version of events.
James Sikes said that the accelerator on his 2008 Prius somehow got stuck during the half-hour March 8 incident, and that he could only stop the car, which reached a top speed of 94 mph, by applying the brakes and his emergency brake.
But investigators who test drove the car could not induce sudden acceleration, and said that recreating what Sikes described resulted in the car shutting down, according to a memo drafted by a Congressional observer and provided to ABC News by a source close to the investigation.
"These findings certainly raise new questions surrounding the veracity of the sequence of events that has been reported by Mr. Sikes," said Kurt Bardella, spokesperson for Rep. Darrell Issa, R.-Calif., ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, when contacted about the memo. "Hopefully, Mr. Sikes will be able and willing to help reconcile the gap between what has been said and what the reported empirical data depicts."
In a statement released Monday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed that its engineers had "recreated the drive Mr. Sikes took" and had "not been able to find anything to explain the incident that Mr. Sikes reported."
However, said the statement, "We would caution people that our work continues and that we may never know exactly what happened with this car. It is rare to recreate these unintended acceleration incidents except in floor mat entrapment cases."
James Sikes' attorney, John Gomez, said the tests did not replicate what his client had actually done while driving the car, and did not support the contention of those who believe Sikes faked the incident for profit or publicity.
"There is no reason whatsoever to believe it's a hoax," said Gomez. "And just to be clear, he is not filing a lawsuit, ever. He's not asking for money, ever. So there's no reason for him to make it up."
According to the memo, a Congressional observer was present during the inspection and testing of the car by technicians from Toyota and investigators from NHTSA as of 2 p.m. Wednesday. Some inspection of the car had already been conducted by Toyota and NHTSA. Also present were Prius driver James Sikes and his attorney.
Investigators looked at the floor mat and the pedal. Toyota has issued massive recalls to adjust floor mats and pedals, and its floor mat recal includes the 2008 Prius.
"The investigators placed the floor mat back into the car and tried to make the gas pedal stick to the floor board, manipulating the floor mat to see if it was possible for the gas pedal to stick.," said the memo. "Both Toyota and NHSTA were unsuccessful."
Investigators also inspected the brakes on the vehicle. They found that both the front and rear brake pads were worn down, according to the memo. The front brakes were essentially gone. "After visually inspecting the rear brakes," said the memo, "it appeared that the brakes again were worn down." Sikes had said that he had applied the brakes throughout the incident, and officers from the California Highway Patrol had seen his brake lights on and smelled his brakes burning.
On Thursday, the inspection resumed. After replacing the brake pads and rotors, technicians test drove the vehicle. They also test drove an identical Prius.
Sikes had said that when his accelerator seemed to stick, he had tried to pull up on the pedal unsuccessfully. A representative of Toyota said that when both the gas pedal and the brake are pushed to the floor, either the car will shut off or the engine will seize up.
A technician drove the Sikes car for two hours, trying to recreate his experience without success. During the test drive, when the technicians pushed both the gas pedal and the brakes to the floor, the car shut off. This was true in both Sikes' car and in the identical Prius.
"It does not appear to be feasibly possible, both electronically and mechanically," said David Justo of Toyota Motor Sales, who was present for the test, "that his gas pedal was stuck to the floor and he was slamming on the brake at the same time."
"Decisions regarding the safety of America's drivers must ultimately be driven by fact and candor," said Kurt Bardella. "Once NHTSA and Toyota release a detailed conclusion based on their inspection, we will hopefully reach a fact-based resolution that will provide some peace-of-mind.
John Gomez, Sikes' attorney, said he didn't think the tests had proven anything.
"I don't think it's surprising that neither the NHTSA investigators nor anyone from Toyota was able to replicate the event," Gomez said. "They've been unable to replicate any sudden unintended acceleration event ever."
"There clearly is a ghost in the machine of these Toyota systems," Sikes said. "And the problem is, they don't leave a trace, much like a ghost."
Gomez said that what the investigators and technicians did with the brake and accelerator pedals during their test drive did not match what Sikes did. He said that during most of the incident Sikes pumped the brakes intermittently because he was afraid to burn them out.
"It was only at the end that he actually stood on the brakes," said Gomez.
Gomez said that his client had been "devastated" by discussion of his personal life in media coverage of the incident, including stories that have discussed his finances, and suggestions that he staged the event in order to sue.
"If the guy would have been an opportunist, he would have been on Jerry Springer and asking me if we can sue Toyota," Gomez said. "He's done none of those things."
Gomez also said reports that Sikes was behind on his car payments were incorrect.
Sikes said that his 2008 Toyota Prius accelerated uncontrollably on a California interstate last week, reaching 94 MPH before he was able to bring it under control with the help of the California Highway Patrol.
According to Sikes, during the Monday, March 8, incident, he held on to his steering wheel and tried to pull the accelerator pedal back with his right hand.
"I thought it was maybe stuck," he said. "Somehow the pedal was stuck. But it wasn't stuck on anything that was visible."
Sikes said that he also checked his floor mat during the incident, and the mat was "perfect."
Sikes attempted to bring the car under control himself, and then called 911 when he hit speeds over 90 miles per hour. Sikes said his vehicle reached 94 MPH.
After Sikes brought the car under control, California Highway Patrol officer Todd Neibert pulled his patrol car in front of Sikes on the shoulder of the interstate in case the vehicle began accelerating again.

I'm afraid there's nothing listed for this season. Add something here!
Continuity mistake: This is a mistake for the introduction from seasons 2-20 (1991-2009). When Homer screams, he turns round. You see this in a wide shot. There are no boxes to the right of the door in the garage. However, two just appear out of thin air when he runs through the garage. (00:01:50)
Trivia: The Simpsons holds the record for most guest stars; it is also the only non-variety show to have had appearances from three former Beatles (Paul, George and Ringo).Kara

Clearly Yahoo's SMTP servers have been used to send the mail, and it's from a person I have had contact with previously, so I'm in their address book, the To: header also includes other people obviously in that address book.
I've just had two come through, from completely different people, but both Xtra users, with whom I have had contact in the past (but not related to each other in any way).
I can't see any realistic way that this can't be a compromise of some description at the Yahoo/Xtra level.
Discussion at TradeMe about it:


text:
Even as Georgia Tech has a definitive affinity for the running game, the Yellow Jackets have taken a significant hit as they will be without their leading receiver for the Dec. 31 Sun Bowl matchup with USC.
In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jeff Greene's high school coach confirmed that the wide receiver is no longer a part of the Tech football program. Chad Phillips said the two parties decided over the weekend that "it would be best to part ways."
Normally when a player leaves his college program, his high school coach shifts the blame to the coaching staff. Phillips, though, put the onus for the situation squarely on Greene's shoulders.
"It's a crying shame," the Starr's Mill High (Ga.) coach said. "The (coaches) bent over backwards to help him. He was on his way to getting a college degree from Georgia Institute of Technology. It's a shame he had to be a little selfish."
As a sophomore in 2012, Green led the Yellow Jackets in receptions with 18 and receiving yards with 284.

Post subject: comfort food
119 (!!!!!) entries, David , you are definitely a record breaker. I have the honor to be no. 120 . ( 120 is a lucky number in jewish culture- when you wish somebody happiness you always say-up to 120 ( years)!
20 of our forum friends have mentioned macaroni and cheese as their favourite comfort food. Grilled cheese was another favourite. It's like a globlization of comfort food.
Chocolate has been mentioned much less than expected.
What can I add?: As a romanian born , a russian mother, israeli grown up and french educated, nearly all food is comfort food for me. But if I dig deep down in my ever hungry soul ( and body), its "mameluchen" - meaning( in Iddish) home made mamma food. Like in the famous song, I love Shnitzel and noodles, apfel strudel , and the inevitable chicken soup - I have a Jewish mother!! - But, Lady, we never eat Matzo balls except for Passover. SO we'll have them in two weeks, and once a year is enough.
Another soulfood ( comfort food) is what italians call polenta, but we, romanians call "mamaliga". Its a coarser kind of polenta, boiled in salted water, on which we pour sour cream, feta-like cheese ( it is not feta really, it's called bulgarian cheese and is a salty firm white cheese). It really sticks to the ribs.
And of course, any kind of pasta with cheese. My recipe is different from all the others because it's not a recipe : you boil the pasta ( not al dente,but soft, east european style) and then add whatever leftovers of cheese you have in your fridge, pour a lot of sour cream, salt pepper and nutmeg, and to the oven. We like it with a crusty brown top, and my husband is exceptionally allowed to eat the dish orizontally- i mean the crust goes first. Sometimes we re-put the dish in the oven and so we have a second crust. A green fresh salad and a glass of red wine- it's a feast.
No more war, more soul food

Comfort food for me can be anyone of the following ...
... a thick slice of buttered wholemeal bread topped with a generous helping of Vegemite
... a lamington
... a wedge of shortbread
... celery filled with peanut butter
... a handful of dry roasted almonds
... a 'spider' (Just place a scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream in a glass, add soft drink of choice and enjoy!)

simona- Is there a reason you only have matzo ball soup once a year? My family loves it and, tho we're not Jewish, we eat it frequently. It's a staple at any deli in the Los Angeles area. And, if my memory of the East Coast isn't playing tricks on me, back in NY state as well.
How about kreplachs in your soup? Would you reserve that for Passover as well?

I wonder if this comfort-food concept is not really about the food but more about the attitude of the person at the time of eating and during the preparation of the food?
To me, comfort food is anything which I anticipate after a trial or long day or any day. My thinking is that comfort food is typically eaten alone. Or as a separate dish while others are engaged in their own activities -- watching TV, for example.
I also consider comfort food to be the antithesis of holiday or celebration food. Sometimes we eat with others as part of a ritual or celebration. That's more of a party atmosphere and not something I associate with comfort.
Maybe a separate question is: Is it still "comfort food" if it is eaten with a party of other people?

Simona -- your pasta in the oven with cheese and crust sounds like something I would enjoy. Your husband eats it "horizontally" meaning he eats the crust then digs down to the lower layers? Interesting word to describe eating -- horizontal versus vertical eating.
I also consider Italian polenta a comfort food. To me, most bland food like oats, pasta and such are comfortable. Those foods don't steal your attention like more exotic dishes. You can concentrate on other things besides the food during eating. That's comfort.

Hello Rainey
1.Matzo balls are a special food for Passover, as it is made of Matzo meal and not from regular flour. During Passover ( 8 days - this year 24-30 april) it is forbidden to eat any food containing flour. We have to eat Matzos ( uneavened"bread", made of flour- but specially prepared) in memory of the flight of the israelites from Egypt .They departed in a hurry, and had no time to prepare leavened bread. Of course it's not forbidden to eat Matzo balls all year round, but then, it wouldn't be special during Passover.
Moreover, Matzo ball are a speciality of Jews originary from Middle and eastern Europe, Jews from Marrocco for example, have other Passover culinary traditions.
2. Kreplach - of course not during passover, they are flour dumpling.
Kreplach means little "Crepes" , stuffed with meat ( go with the soup),but sometimes stuffed with cheese and even sweet cheese or cherries. It depends what your origins is . It's a dish mainly prepared by Eastern European jews, poles, russians etc.
It's quite a revelation to me that these typical jewish ( east european mainly) dishes are appreciated by other communities. I imagine it's popular especially in NY where there are many Delicatessen Restaurants.
Maybe in the future, I'll open a topic about Various Jewish ethnic food.
Sarape, I agree with you: comfort food is mainly something you eat when you're alone, in blue mood or just melancholic. Therefore most of the comfort food is starchy and/or sweet. It "fills" you when you feel "empty" . But on the other hand, comfort food is also the basic onepot dish you cook for an informal or spontaneus gathering, be it a sad occasion or just when friends pop in. It's food you feel comfortable with, it something familiar, like an old pair of slippers.
Simple as that. But it's definitely no festive food.
Good night
No more war, more comfort!

Thanks Sarape, and yes , by horizontally I mean crust first.
I noticed that there two basic ways people eat teir food: horizontally an vertically, For example' take Ice cream topped with whipped cream. There those who eat first the whipped cream, then layer by layer the ice cream. These are the horizontal ones ( eating the crust first- remember). And then are those , like me most of the times , who eat vertically : I plunge my spoon deep in the glass so I come out with all the ingredients in one mouthful. That's the way I eat my food too: never each item separately ( horizontal) but something of everything on the fork.
Innocent idiosyncrazies...
No more war, more ice cream! ( funny nobody mentioned ice cream as comfort food!)

I have never actually had Matzo Ball soup but since moving to NY I see it everywhere. What is it like? Also as it nears Passover the stores are overflowing with all sorts of Jewish specialties, in Washington there isn't quite the assortment. I have been tempted to try somethings out, but I don't know what to try. Latkes are pretty much the only dish I am familiar with, I could eat them by the truck full.
Yes Simona, you should really start that thread.

Hello Erin and all Matzo balls lovers, Passover is in the air , and what can be more typical than Matzo balls. So these are balls done from Matzo meal, eggs, salt peeper and a little bit of vegetal oil, shaped in balls ( small or big) and cooked in chicken broth, You may add dill and parsley, , maybe a grated carrot.
We kids always used to call these balls "cannon bullets" - they are so solid ; you eat one, you're balooned. My mother used to make more fluffy ones, ( whipped white eggs), bus still, it's not one of my favourites, Today you can find ready to make matzo balls mix; you add eggs and that's done.
As for other Passover traditional food: coconut cookies, gefilte fish ( carp fish balls) , chicken soup of course, zimmes - glazed carrots with dried fruit . But as I mentioned before, each jewish community has it's on traditional Passover food. At my "Seder" table in two weeks ( Seder is the first night of the passover week when we read the story of the flight from Egypt) we'll be 17. I'll serve chicken soup with ...Matzo balls, chopped liver, baked carp with herbs, whole leg of Lamb ( my family tradition since I remember myself - Romania is part of the Balkans , more or less), chicken with dried fruits ( the kids love it), baked baby potatoes with rosemary and olive oil, Asparagus with Vinaigrette, green salad with walnuts and pomello slices. For desert, strawberries for those on a diet , and last but not least , the glorious passover dark chocolate walnut cake, rich and moist. Strong coffee ( black, boiled turkish coffee) , will conclude the dinner. No more food until next day lunch...
Oh, I like to talk ( write ) about food sooooo (too )much...
P.S. Latkes - the potato pankakes, are a favorite passover treat, as they contain no flour. I like them with sour cream, but many eat them with sugar or with apple puree.
No more war, more dark chocolate walnut cake!

What a fantastic sounding feast simona! Squeeze over and set me a place too.
Believe it or not I had chopped liver for the first time last year. Loved it of course, am very fond of liver.

Hi david, You're welcome, with your partner . Can you leave the dogs with a dog-sitter?
Now, seriously, I understand you are well travelled, so a pilgrimage to the Holy Land could be a future option?!? I'm a certified guide ( though that's not what I'm doing for a living), and politics aside , it's a beautiful and very interesting country.

simona could you please start a new thread on Passover and copy your post describing traditional Passover food to it? This thread is getting very long and it would be a shame for forum members to miss out on all your wonderful information.

Post subject: unique comfort foods....!
Hi, I'm new to this blog and just became a member, but I'd like to say that matzo balls are definitely up there on the comfort food list, but I must warn those claiming never to have tasted a matzo ball that if you do not get a matzo ball that is from a Jewish mother who is a great cook and/or a really good Delicatessan, you risk either biting into a golfball/baseball/pile of mush/ gloopy blob ...that is tasteless/over-dosed with sodium/grainy....just to name a few... haha.. but they CAN be very tasty if done correctly in a yummy chicken soup!!!
As well, I would like to mention that I was born in south africa and thus my comfort food list is slightly diverse:
boerworse- a really tasty meat sausage that tastes MUCH better than it sounds
biltong- a dried meat ( similar to beef jerky but way way way better)
sunny side-up eggs over-easy- mmmmmmmm...with some toast..need i say more??
Lucky charms and Sugar Crisp- I loved these cereals growing up and HELLO cereal is probably the ULTIMATE comfort food!!! ( well, according to me anyway)
I aslo used to love chocolate or strawbery nesquick in milk with some Chips a Hoy chocolate Chunk cookies...triple chocolate were the best...late at night during sleepovers...of course
and of course..being jewish, holiday foods have always meant something to me...matzo ball soup on passover, apples in honey on Rosh Hashana, Matzo Brai or Geshmirta matzo on passover...dellicious btw...and challah french toast of course!!!
just wanted to give my two cents worth!! lol

Hi and welcome, Lexi.
I'd love to know more about the special foods and recipes you associate with Passover, Rosh Hashana and other Jewish celebrations, but I really feel they deserve their own corner of the forums, so I'm starting a
Passover and Other Jewish Celebrations
topic. Challah French Toast sounds divine! Do you have a special recipe for it, or is the secret in the challah?

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you head on over to the Abbey with 1,500 of your closest friends for a quick elopement. LET'S GO!
THE ROYAL WEDDING – Coverage starts at 4:00AM (Everywhere) The Royal Family was too cheap to spring for a weekend wedding, and ALSO too cheap to spring for an evening wedding, which is how we've ended up with a Royal Wedding taking place at mid-day in London on a Friday. That means you better set your DVR or be prepared to wake up at o'dark thirty as the festivities begin. Here's a handy schedule of events. Prince William arrives at Westminster Abbey at 5:15AM. Kate Middleton's ride to the church starts 36 minutes later. The ceremony starts at 6AM sharp.
Now, as to your viewing options. Shepard Smith and Martha McCallum will start their coverage on FOX at 4AM. Ditto ABC, where Baba Wawa and Diane Sawyer will preside over the coverage and presumably spend six hours trying to one-up each other. CNN will have Piers Morgan as their lead anchor, so avoid CNN. And NBC will have the "Today" gang on hand, along with Martin Bashir in London. Gotta have that British correspondent in your back pocket. The whole thing will end sometime around 8:30AM, when the consummation of the marriage is broadcast live to over a billion people. Okay, I'm kidding. You don't get to see that part. But Lord knows Piers Morgan will try. ANTICIPATION: HIGHEST!
THE OFFICE – 9:00PM (NBC) Royalty aside, the biggest TV event of the next two days is Steve Carell's final episode on "The Office," which happens tonight in a special expanded episode. I'm told that Carell's dress tonight is still a closely guarded secret, as is the cake! ANTICIPATION: BITTERSWEET!
NFL DRAFT – 8:00PM (ESPN, NFL Network) If the Royal Wedding isn't your thing, spend your whole weekend watching the NFL absorb the latest class of college football stars. Then watch the NFL try and forbid them from actually playing. ANTICIPATION: CONFUSING!
NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE: JAPAN IN CRISIS – 10:00PM (Discovery) Oh hey, were you aware that Japan is still utterly devastated by last month's tsunami and the potential nuclear fallout? I bet you thought it was over because the media moved on from it, but it's actually still going on RIGHT NOW, and it's kind of the most important thing in the world. Unlike plutonium, the media's attention span has a half-life of .000003 seconds. ANTICIPATION: TRAGEDY!
20/20 – 8:00PM (ABC) If you just can't wait until the wee hours of the morning for your Royal fix, ABC has a pregame show on tonight for a full hour. Then you can hop over to TLC for their two-hour pregame show starting at 9PM. It's so much royal coverage, you'll have chess pieces shooting out of your ears. ANTICIPATION: CRUMPETS!

Donatella Arpaia Getting into the Neapolitan Pizza Game
Looks like restaurateur and frequent Iron Chef America judge Donatella Arpaia is getting into the Neapolitan pizza game. According to this story on the New York Times's Diner's Journal blog, she's having bricks, sand, and cement all imported from Naples to build her oven and is bringing in the requisite Neapolitan oven-builders to construct it. But probably what's most interesting is that she's going to be studying pizza-making under Enzo Coccia of Pizzeria La Notizia in Naples for several weeks.
"I'm not a phony," Arpaia told the Times. "I need to learn how to make the best Neapolitan pizza. This is something you can't fake."
So, here you go ... after the jump, some videos of Coccia's pizza-making — if you are a huge pizza nerd and care about these things.

Great job on the hood and sweater. I need to start thinking of how I can change clothing instead of not being happy with the fit and tossing it. Love the colour of that sweater, btw.ReplyDelete
Very simple,but it looks great.ReplyDelete
Great Job! I am not a hood person so probably will never do that one (plus I moved from ME to Texas and would have no need!) But that sweater is so cute. I think I need to think refashion with some of my things before I toss them.ReplyDelete
Well done - love them both! The hood especially. Who knew such a simple change would make that big of a difference?ReplyDelete
oh my gosh....can you go through my closet too? I need some "new" clothes! :)ReplyDelete
Nicely done! I love the new looks! You are braver than I am! Although, I suppose if I am not wearing something because it is unattractive.... there's not much to lose! :)ReplyDelete

Generating API Documentation from XML using XSLT
I work at Infusionsoft, and we offer our customers API access. Visibility and access to the various tables and their fields is controlled by an XML file on our end. Naturally, our customers require user-friendly documentation that tells them what tables and fields they can access and in what manner. Previously, a former developer had written a maven goal that would generate the API documentation from the XML file. Unfortunately this was something that he did on his own and the code wasn't in our subversion repository. When that developer left, we decided to take a look at the code to see if we could continue generating the documentation using the maven goal. We determined that the original solution though helpful, involved a lot of work in Java simply to generate API documentation. This was when I suggested using XSLT as it would be a remarkably lightweight solution and it is also perfectly suited to this task. My colleagues agreed and so I decided to go ahead with the task. There was one slight problem though. I had very little experience with XSLT! But how hard could it be? I love learning new things anyway!

Roll20 utilizes two built-in WebRTC video and voice chat features that allows you to communicate with other players. One is powered by Tokbox's OpenTok 2.0 and the other is an in-house version built by Roll20. As of October 2016, the Roll20 WebRTC option is the default video/voice chat tech for newly created campaigns. WebRTC is high-definition and runs natively in your browser without the need for any additional plugins. It's also adaptive so it works well with low-bandwidth connections.
Once at least two people log into a game using either WebRTC options, you should see a dialog box along the top of your screen that asks you to give permission for Roll20 to use your camera/microphone.
|Note: If you aren't having much luck with the built-in video/voice chat, you might also try running your game in a Google+ Hangout, which offers an alternative way of having video/voice chat in your game. Read more...
Enabling and Disabling WebRTC Video & Voice Chat
Managing Browser Permissions
In Google Chrome:
A dialog box will appear along the very top of your browser screen. Click "Allow." (You may only have to do this the first time you use WebRTC).
Note that you can click the little camera icon located in the far-right of your address bar to change the settings of what camera/microphone is being used.
In Mozilla Firefox:
A dialog box will appear, click on "Share Selected Devices" to allow Roll20 to start video chat (highlighted in green below). If for some reason a dialog box does not appear, or if you wish to change your settings after the game has started, click on the Camera icon (highlighted in pink below) to change your settings.
Roll20 Video/Voice Settings
Go to the My Settings tab (the icon) on the Sidebar (top-right side of the screen). Scroll down to find the Video + Voice heading. There will be several drop-down menus here. They are:
- I want to Broadcast to others: This controls whether or not you will broadcast Video and Voice, Video only(Roll20 WebRTC feature), Voice only, or Nothing(disabled) to other players in the game.
- I want to Receive from others: This controls whether or not you will receive Video and Voice, Video only(Roll20 WebRTC feature), Voice only, or Nothing(disabled) from other players, if they are broadcasting at all.
- Player Video/Player Avatar Size: This controls the size of the player avatars that are shown on the Tabletop. There are four size options available: Large (200px x 200px), Regular (150px x 150px), Small (100px x 100px) and Names Only. If the last option is selected, the portrait image is hidden entirely and all that remains is the user's name plate. Note that if you choose Names Only, you will still broadcast video and/or voice if that setting is enabled. You need to set the Broadcast To Others setting to broadcast voice-only, or nothing at all.
The following feature options ONLY appear when Roll20 WebRTC is currently enabled:
- Player Video/Avatar Location: This controls where your player avatars are positioned on the Tabletop when using Roll20 WebRTC. You have the option of setting them at the bottom or at the top of the tabletop. At default, the avatars are aligned to the bottom.
- Moveable Player Avatars: One of the features of Roll20WebRTC is the ability to move the Player Avatars to wherever you want on the Tabletop. Underneath this setting is a single reset button available only when using Roll20 WebRTC. Clicking this will snap the player avatars back to the location you originally designated in previous setting.
Swapping Between OpenTok WebRTC or Roll20 WebRTC
Further down on the My Settings tab, past the Video + Voice heading is the Video + Audio Chat Options Options heading.
Chat Tech: This drop down menu allows you to switch between Roll20 WebRTC, OpenTok WebRTC, or None for your video/voice chat options. Upon choosing a different Video selection than what was selected before (this includes setting it to or from None), your and all other players currently in the game will have their browser tab refreshed. This is necessary to change up the chat tech.
Roll20 WebRTC Features
A recent addition to Roll20 is a built-in WebRTC feature, Roll20 WebRTC allows for more control over its functionality within the VTT itself. Listed below are the features available within this version of WebRTC.
Relocating Player Avatars Around the Tabletop
One of the unique features of Roll20 WebRTC is the ability to move the player avatars to wherever you want on the screen. This can be very helpful when you have a specific broadcast overlay for streaming. This feature is always enabled for the Game Master, but it can be either disabled or enabled for the players to re-arrange the avatars as they see fit.
To move an avatar, first make certain that Roll20 WebRTC is already enabled, and then hover your mouse over one. An icon resembling three horizontal bars will appear in the bottom left corner of the avatar (over top the Name Plate). This is the avatar's handle that you can click and drag the avatar to a new location on the Tabletop. You can still move these around if you have the avatar portraits hidden and only display the Name Plates. Regardless of who's moving their avatars around, they can only ever be placed in a spot on the Tabletop. You can't drag it atop the Tabletop Toolbar or over the Sidebar. They also will snap away from getting partially stuck under the sides of the browser window.
You can decide whether to prevent your players from moving their avatars by going to the Movable Avatar/Video Screens: Setting under the Video + Audio Chat Options heading. You can choose between GM Controlled or Player Controlled. It's important to note that when the Game Master rearranges the locations of the avatars on the Tabletop, these new positions are set on the Players' ends as well. If you set this option to Player Controlled, the Players can change the locations of their avatars, BUT it is only seen locally. One player's screen is likely to be arranged entirely differently than another's (be it GM or Player) and vice versa.
Beyond moving the avatars individually, you can also set the avatar portraits to either align to the top of the Tabletop or the bottom via the Player Video/Avatar Location setting which is found under the Video + Voice Heading. By default, avatars are aligned to the Bottom of the Tabletop.
The locations of the avatars will snap back to their default location if you swap back to either OpenTok or None for Video Chat.
If you ever wish to reset the avatars back to where in the beginning, click on the Reset Player Video/Avatar Location button under the Video + Voice heading of My Settings. This will file the avatar portraits/name plates either on the Bottom of the Tabletop or the Top (depending on what you have set for the Player Video/Avatar Location setting).
A Note About Splitting The Party
If you have the avatars re-positioned on the Tabletop, you're still able to drag players onto individual Pages (AKA Splitting the Party). Just make certain to click and drag on an area of the portrait that isn't the Avatar Handle on the bottom left corner. This will allow to drag the player into the Page Toolbar and assign them to a particular Page.
Muting and Volume Normalization
While video/voice chat is active, other players in your game will have a volume slider overlay located at the bottom of their portrait. This allows you to adjust the volume of each individual. Instead of a volume slider on your avatar, you'll find a mute button. You can use this to mute your mic if you don't have the physical means for it on your microphone itself.
Another feature unique to Roll20 WebRTC is the ability to whisper directly to a single player in the game (Presently only the GM has this ability). When Voice is active, a chat bubble icon is available on the upper right hand corner of the avatar upon a mouse over. This icon is the Whisper Player button. Click and hold for the duration of the whisper. While the whisper icon is held down, the other members currently in the game who aren't in on the whisper will have their avatars grayed out to demonstrate that you are holding a private discussion with the other player. This appears on the whispered Player's side as well. Likewise, those players not in on this conversation will see the GM and the whispered player grayed out to them. The group not privy to the whispered conversation can still talk among one another like usual. Everyone's avatars and Voice feeds will return to normal once the GM lets go of the Whisper Player button.
Video/Voice Bandwith Options
You can adjust the video/voice bandwith with Roll20 WebRTC. If you have a user who is working with a slower or limited connection, you can drop the bandwith to a less taxing setting. The drop-down menu for this can be found right underneath the Chat Tech menu option of the Sidebar (if Roll20 WebRTC is currently selected). There are four bandwith settings to choose from: High, Medium, Low, and Very Low. The bandwith rates scale depending on how many players are currently in the game.
Push to Talk Functionality
To enable Push to Talk, you will first need to check off Use advanced keyboard shortcuts from the My Settings tab of the Sidebar. This checkbox can be found right underneath the Master Volume Control slider at the top of the tab. Once enabled, pressing the tilde ( ` ) key will mute/unmute your microphone.
|Note: Roll20 keyboard shortcuts only work when the game's browser tab is focused.
Video Only Broadcast
With Roll20 WebRTC enabled, a new option appears in the I want to broadcast to others: and I want to receive from others: drop down menu–Video Only. This will only display the video footage of a webcam and ignore all microphone input.
OpenTok WebRTC Features
Managing Volume
While video/voice is enabled in Roll20, hover your mouse on the bottom right corner of a player's portrait in the Player Zone. This action will pop up a volume slider that you can use to fine tune a player's mic volume to be heard properly. It's important to note that a slider exists on your own portrait and tuning your personal mic volume affects how other players in Roll20 hear you.
Switching Devices
To switch between multiple microphone and webcam devices, once again hover your mouse on the bottom right corner of your avatar in the Player Zone. Next to the volume slider that pops up is a wrench button. Clicking on this button brings up a new window where you can specify which devices you wish to use for chat.
OpenTok does not have Push-to-Talk functionality built in.
If Roll20 WebRTC is not an option, here are some methods to facilitate Push-to-Talk:
- Muting ones self when not talking.
- But this is quite a lot of effort in conversation.
- Manually using the mic's mute feature.
- Some microphones have a button for this, which is better.
- Using a program which controls your microphone mute feature.
- This is by far the best solution.
One recommendation is http://www.pushtotalk.nu/
- Tested and works with Windows 10 64bit.
- Free, a tiny download, no installation required, trivial to configure.
- One recommendation is to configure its hotkeys as ` (backtick) and right-control. It turns out that right-control will permanently un-mute until backtick is pressed, which is technically a bug but really useful.
Even though it's additional work, ensuring that game policy has all players doing this very simple step will vastly improve everyone's playing experience. Please consider it for your game.
If anyone has another solution or program, please take a moment to post it here.

Emergencies include a variety of contemporary scenarios ranging from natural disasters to extreme poverty or isolation due to social and political conflicts. In all cases, the disruption of normality and the requirement of basic needs for maintaining a decent quality of life become the basis for finding quick and efficient alternatives to respond to this type of urgency.

text: A few weeks back RIM received a patent for a fuel cell on a mobile device. It looks like their pursuit carries on as they have applied for more patents regarding fuel cells. The new patents are for the frame of the device and the "tank" itself, showing off a different design than we've seen before. Some pretty cool stuff here should it ever find its wat to market devices. We're not expecting these to show up in BlackBerry 10, but it is definitely something RIM looks interested in for the future.

What is backflow?
The City's drinking water flows into your house through a series of pipes called the water distribution system. The flow of water is pressure driven, meaning that when you open a faucet the pressure at that faucet drops to zero and the water flows towards the lowest pressure, causing the water to flow out of the faucet. That's why you may get a drop in your water pressure at your house if there is break in the City's line, the water is flowing towards the lowest pressure, the break in the water line.
There are different ways the City keeps pressure in the drinking water distribution system, the most important being the elevated storage tanks. The elevated storage tanks keep the system pressurized so that water can flow to your taps when they are turned on.
Since the water distribution system works on pressure, there can be a problem with backward flow of the water when an unintended break or pressure drop occurs in the system.
An example is using the hose to fill your backyard pool. Say you drop your hose into the pool to fill it. The opening of the hose is under water.
Say there is a fire near your neighborhood and the fire department taps into the fire hydrant near your house, causing the pressure to drop at that point. The water in the area will flow towards the largest drop in pressure (i.e. the fire hydrant, not your hose, simply because of the size of the lines involved), causing the water flow to reverse and flow backwards at your water hose.
Since the water hose is under water, the hose starts draining the pool back into your house and the City's distribution system. This situation is called a backflow event. The hose being submerged into the pool created a cross connection between the pool and the City's water distribution system. The drop in pressure on the City side of the system caused the backward flow of water, causing the pool to be drained into the City's drinking water system.
What can we do to prevent such occurrences? The main thing is public education about possible cross connections at your home and how to avoid them. Many people just are not aware of the potential problems such situations can cause. The City regulates all commercial and industrial facilities to prevent cross connections and backflow events, but residents must be reached through public education venues such as this website.
How do I prevent backflow issues at my home?
Potential Cross Connections at Your Home and Solutions
Outdoor Water Hoses
The example of using a hose to fill your pool and dropping the end of the hose into the pool while filling is a very common example of a residential cross connection. The simplest solution is to keep the end of the hose out of the pool when filling.
Another potential cross connection involving your outdoor hose is using a hose sprayer when applying pesticides or fertilizers. Some of the hose sprayers set ups come with a built-in backflow preventer and some do not. Another situation is if the end of the hose is left in a puddle of water.
The best way to prevent backflow situations with your outdoor hose is to install a Hose Bibb Vacuum Breaker on all outdoor faucets. This is a small device that screws onto the end of your faucet that will stop the water flow when it detects a backflow of water from your hose. These devices can be purchased at most hardware stores for a nominal price.
Irrigation Systems
Irrigation systems can also present opportunities for cross connections. If you have the kind of sprinkler heads that pop up when in use and then drop down when not in use, dirty water can collect around those sprinkler heads and when a pressure drop occurs, that dirty water can be sucked back into the distribution system through those sprinkler heads. This is why the City has required that for all new in-ground irrigation systems, a backflow preventer is required to be installed on the water line.
A backflow preventer is a device that has two check valves that will shut if the device detects a drop in pressure on the upside line or a backward flow of water.
The type of device required on all in-ground irrigation systems is called a double check valve and it has two of these check valves in place to prevent the flow of water backward into the distribution system.
Kitchen Vegetable Sprayer
There are potential cross connections inside your house as well. Most faucets on your sinks are at least one inch higher than the rim of the sink or tub. This is called an air gap and it totally prevents any cross connection because there is no way the end of the faucet can get below the rim of the sink. An exception to this is your kitchen vegetable sprayer. It is essentially a hose extension of the water faucet.
If you leave it in the sink there is the potential for a cross connection if the sink fills up with the sprayer head under water. Should a drop in pressure occur in the City line, that dirty water could flow backward, through the sprayer, into the water distribution system. The solution is to be aware and be careful when using the vegetable sprayer in your kitchen.
Your toilet may also present a potential cross connection in your home. Many older toilets use a submerged fill valve in the tank. These submerged fill valves are still on the market today. You can tell which ones they are, because when they are put in, the fill valve sits under the water level of the tank. When repairing your toilet, always buy the type of flush mechanism where the fill valve sits above the water level in the toilet tank.
There is a classic cross connection situation where the resident calls the City complaining of blue water coming from their faucets. Upon investigation, the home owner uses a toilet tank cleaner product that makes the water blue and has the under water type of fill valve in their toilet tank. When a big enough drop in pressure occurs outside the house, or even in another area of the house, that water in the toilet tank starts draining back into the house distribution system, coming out at the water faucets.
The City wants to keep your drinking water supply clean and drinkable. You can do your part by preventing potential cross connections in your home!

Are you ready for some SQL?
If you are like me, you are probably almost always ready for some SQL. Well, we have just what you are hungry for – more SQL.
Thursday evening we have the distinct pleasure of having Bob Hovious present to the Las Vegas SQL User Group. If I am not mistaken, this is his first time presenting to a SQL audience outside of a work setting.
Bob is going to try and teach us about good design and proper datatype use. I think many a data professional could highly benefit from this type of presentation.
As usual, we will have the presentation available for those interested in showing up in person as well as those who can only attend via the virtual world.
Here are the details on how to attend.
With the Move to Meetup, All of the Meeting information (abstract and bio) is posted there.
