This article refers to a glitch in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire when time-based events will stop. For the glitch related to when the player uses a Pomeg Berry with a relatively low amount of HP see Pomeg glitch.
The Berry glitch (Japanese: きのみ問題) is the name of a glitch where all clock-based events will freeze, including the growth of berries and the player's clock. It was officially patched in later versions of the Generation III games so it does not exist in Pokémon Emerald. The glitch causes all berries to stop growing, and occurs after the game's internal clock has been active for a currently unknown amount of time.
It is not to be confused with the game's internal battery running dry, a different problem which is explicitly mentioned while booting the game.
This glitch was acknowledged by Nintendo and as a result, they took action and released multiple fixes for the Berry glitch. It was probably acknowledged due to the fact that it hindered gameplay, rather than giving the player extra control over the game, and was not preventable. Below are a list of official fixes for the Berry glitch:

text: Last Saturday saw another addition to this seasons festivals rosta in the form of the first Summer Jam. It seems with more and more people turning their back on overpriced corporate events, the demand for this type of home made alternatives is on the increase. With a modest £3 entrance fee, that was given to local charities, anyone who attended must have netted the deal of the week. Organised by a dedicated team of friends that included a sheep, the event attracted around 2000 people. Revellers enjoyed an afternoon of quality live music, DJ sets, fairground attractions, craft stalls and believe it or not, sunshine. The Vangaurds, Jupiters Heroes and The Lies were amongst the acts to grace the main stage. There were acoustic sets from Gaz Abbot, Operation Error and Kayleigh Knight. Meanwhile the bar tent partied away to the soundtrack of sets by Audiomill, Twitch, Crunch and Dust and The Duke. Elsewhere in the field a man in a cow suit was selling raffle tickets and believe it or not, I swear I saw a Fairy by the hedge selling CDs.

Click here to listen to a good interview of Taleb. Taleb, who makes for delightful reading, can be difficult to listen to when interviewed because he can become a bit agitated and tongue-tied (English is not his native tongue). However, in listening to the first part of this interview, he gives a rather calm yet always interesting exposition of his ideas. The site (courtesy of Huffington Post) also provides a written summary of the interview by Christopher Lydon, which I paste below for your reading enjoyment & consideration:
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is one of the great wiseguys or wisemen of the moment. Quite possibly both.
For a world that wants better than the fatuous "perfect storm" account of the economic meltdown -- or of BP's gusher in the Gulf, or of 9.11 for that matter -- Taleb has revised and extended his cult classic, The Black Swan. His anomalous "black swan" (since swans are by definition white) has three properties: it's (1) any one of those unforeseen developments that comes (2) with big consequences and (3) a concocted cause-and-effect after-story. In conversation, Taleb is trying to get us to let go of "causes" and fix on the word "fragility." He is explaining -- sometimes elliptically, aphoristically, through metaphors, jokes and old folk wisdom -- why "the economic crisis has barely begun," why indeed we seem to have entered the Age of the Black Swan.
In a Letterman List, our conversation might be reduced to this:
10. Mother Nature is robust. Large modern corporations are fragile.
9. When the big bridge collapses, the "news" interest will be in the last truck that made it over, when the real story should be about the fragility of the bridge.
8. Somewhere in every Black Swan story there's a turkey. The turkey has a clear understanding of history, and of growth. The nice farmer feeds him every day, and the turkey keeps getting fatter. Then comes Thanksgiving. It's a Black Swan for the turkey. But not for the butcher.
7. We can say safely that the Black Swan started entering society with agriculture, with the fact that we started settling. Complexification started then... In my tableau of what's fragile and what's robust, the nation-state is a fragile entity, whereas city-states are more robust. So the creation of the nation-state created this big unpredictable event, that First War. Even those who saw it coming didn't see the damage it was about to cause. So the First War probably is the most consequential one, and it came in two volumes...
6. I think that today we are entering a different world of Black Swans because of the Internet.
5. Newspapers make us stupid. They overexplain with "causes" of things that can't be checked. And because they are driven by the sensational, they misrepresent risk. I prefer the social filter of news, over dinner or lunch. Anything that draws me away from face-to-face contact is harmful to my health.
4. Grandmothers had a rule of thumb after the Great Depression: work and save for a few years before you get into risk... Unpredictability and debt are not friends.
3. On bailouts: My analogy is to the gambler who is now gambling with the trust fund of his unborn great-great-granchildren... Prudence should be the first thing on the agenda of governments, not speculation. Stimulus packages are speculation... We are gambling on a massive recovery. It's too big a gamble, and besides it's immoral.
2. In the economic crisis, and in the Gulf of Mexico, what we should be discovering is not who made what mistake, but the fact of fragility. Alas, what we don't learn is... that we don't learn.
1. No government can fortify something that's inherently fragile

NexRemote Nirvana
I wrote about Celestron's very special software, NexRemote (NR), some time back. If you're interested in the program's history, have a look at that—rat cheer. Lately, though, I've gotten a whole lot of confused emails on the subject. "Unk, how do I install NexRemote? How do I connect it to my Celestron telescope? Can I use other software with it? What in the hell will it do for me?" Once you glom on to its concept, NexRemote is easy to understand, but there is no denying it is different from every other bit of astronomy software on the landscape (with the exception of EQMOD).
Yep, NexRemote is simple once you wrap your mind around the idea. NexRemote is the same software (firmware) that's in Celestron's NexStar hand controls. Due to the exigencies of this software running on a (Windows only) PC, there are slight differences between it and the software in the "real" HC, but they are minor. Let me put it another way: NexRemote is the Celestron NexStar hand control, just executing on your PC instead of the little computer that came with the telescope.
"Hokay Unk, I get it, but why would you want to do such a thing?" Several reasons. If you don't plan to be standing at your telescope as you observe—maybe with a CCD camera, maybe with a deep sky video camera—NexRemote makes for a much neater setup. Oh, you could buy or build a long extension cable for the NexStar hand controller; I've done that very thing. But running the HC on the same computer you use for your CCD program or video capture program makes things less confusing in the middle of the night. I was always tripping over the HC cable and dropping the dang thing as the clock crept into the wee hours.
Another benefit is a reduction in cable clutter. God knows, my cable situation is bad enough: power cable for the telescope, hand control (HC) cable, serial computer cable, guide cable, power cable for the camera, video output cable, dew heater power cable. NexRemote doesn't eliminate all those, but it at least consolidates hand control, computer control, and guiding cables into one run.
What if you don't care pea-turkey about imaging the sky? What can NR do for you? One thing I've always longed for is a wireless hand controller. No more cable wrap blues, no more too small and finicky buttons. Meade gave it a try with their wireless Autostar II HC and failed, but Celestron succeeded. NexRemote allows you to use a wireless Logitech gamepad with its high quality buttons and joysticks as a wireless hand control. Couple that with the program's ability to make use of Microsoft's Mike/Mary voice-synthesis utility and you can align the telescope with the gamepad without having to walk over and peer at the laptop.
What else? NexRemote comes with a pair of add-on programs, NexGPS and NexTour, that add features the real HC cannot claim. NexGPS allows you to use any NMEA serial output-capable GPS receiver with your telescope. That means you do not have to spring for a fancy and expensive Celestron GPS add-on if your scope/mount didn't come with GPS. I found a perfectly serviceable GPS receiver on a swap table at the local hamfest for 25 bucks. NexTour is almost a full-blown planning software program. It helps you develop lists of objects than can be "loaded" into NexRemote's virtual HC. Once a list is available, you can go-to its objects using a wireless gamepad.
"You've convinced me, Unk. How do I get Nexremote? What else do I need to make it work? How do I set the derned thing up?"
Getting NexRemote is the easy part; you may even already have a copy. Celestron ships NexRemote free with some of their telescopes. Which ones? That question causes Unk to scratch his head. The NexStar SEs, for example, come with it, but the CG5 Advanced Series scopes don't. Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to Celestron's policy as to which buyers get NR for free.
There is also confusion about the license number for the program. You will have to input that (by right-clicking on NexRemote's virtual hand control) to continue using the program past a 30-day tryout. If you got a NexRemote CD with your scope, it should have that number somewhere on the CD or its container. Often it doesn't. What then? You are entitled to a license if the program came with your telescope. Call Celestron and get it.
If you were not lucky enough to get NexRemote with your scope? You'll have to buy, Muchachos. The program is not overly expensive, but Celestron does not exactly give it away at about 100 clams. The toll becomes more bearable if you buy a kit; Celestron often bundles the CD with other items necessary for its use like a USB – serial converter and a "Programming Cable" (more on these two things shortly).
Actually, even if you received the NexRemote CD with your scope, you may need to obtain a copy from the Big C. If the version of the software you received is not v1.7.15 and you are using a Windows computer with a 64 bit Microsoft o/s, you will not be able to run the program until you get a fresh copy. Older versions may not have the latest firmware for your particular telescope, either. Thankfully, NexRemote's most recent edition is always available for download at Celestron's website. Do that and you are good to go. You are ready to get started, anyhow.
First step, of course, is loading the program. Before you can load it, however, you will need a computer to load it on. What you want is a Windows laptop. I have heard of folks using NR on Apple Macs with Intel processors and Windows installed on a drive partition, but I cannot vouch for the efficacy of that.
You need a Win machine, but it does not have to be much of a Win machine. When NexRemote (née HCanywhere) first came out years ago, I ran it quite successfully on a 'puter with a 566mhz Celeron processor. Any fairly recent laptop should be more than sufficient. So should one of today's netbooks. Not only do you not need a new computer, it may be best not to use one. Why not? The serial port, or lack thereof on modern machines.
NexRemote must communicate with the telescope via an RS-232 port. Alas, modern computers do not have such a thing. The PC I formerly used to run the program, a seven year-old Toshiba Satellite laptop did not. It did have a PCMCIA card slot, though. I logged onto eBay, bought a PCMCIA serial card for ten bucks, and was ready to rock and roll. As far as the computer is concerned, a PCMCIA serial card is the same as a built-in RS-232 port. Yeah, I rocked with NR—till my old Toshiba died a smoky death last year.
While I loved the Toshiba, I was sick and tired of lugging this heavy 3.2ghz monster around, anyway, especially through airports when I was on my way to speaking engagements at distant star parties. I picked a lovely and small Netbook, an Asus, to be my new astro-puter. A cool little machine with more than enough horsepower to run NexRemote. Its processor wasn't nearly as fast as the Toshiba's, but 1ghz or so is fast enough. And I was blown away that the Asus's hard drive was three times the size of the Satellite's. And that is would run for ten hours or more on its internal battery. Only fly buzzing in the butter? Not only did the Asus not have a serial port, it didn't have a PCMCIA slot, either.
What to do? The only alternative was a USB to serial adapter cable. I'd tried these with NexRemote before without success. The problem, I suppose, is bandwidth. NexRemote needs substantially more than the average serial application. I did a little digging around on the net and found that quite a few folks were having good results with the Keyspan USB – serial cable. Which is what I bought and which has worked real good with NexRemote—mostly, anyhow.
Serial solution in hand, it is time to load NR. Whether using a CD or a downloaded file, I have never had any difficulties in this area. Follow the onscreen prompts; it's very straightforward. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows Seven, you may have to install as administrator (right-click the install icon, select properties, and check "run as administrator"), but that is the only potential hang-up I know of.
Next, you need to physically connect the computer to the scope/mount. And this is where some folks get awfully confused. Well, gather round kiddies, cuz Uncle Rod is going to give you the straight poop on this arcane procedure.
There are two ways to connect NexRemote to the telescope. The neatest way is with what Celestron calls its Programming Cable (so called because years ago you had to use this cable to update Celestron's motor controller boards). This is a serial cable with a DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 plug on the other, and is designed to use the telescope's "PC" port. In this method, you connect one end of the PC cable to the PC's serial port, and the other to the PC port (marked as such and not the socket on the hand control). You do not plug the "real" NexStar controller in anywhere. You leave it in the box. That is the beauty of the PC port method; you do not have to fool with the "hardware" HC at all.
Where do you get a PC cable? Most Celestron dealers still have 'em even though Celestron has inexplicably discontinued this item. Just be sure you are getting the real programming cable with an RJ-45 connector, not the standard serial cable that plugs into the hand control and which some dealers have taken to calling a "Programming Cable" lately. If you cannot find one and are handy with electronics, you can easily make the cable using the plans on Mike Swanson's fabulous website, NexStarsite.com.
"That sounds mighty nice, Unk, but I got news: my mount ain't got no PC port." It is true most of Celestron's GEMS lack the required PC port. My CG5 sure doesn't have one. All is not necessarily lost. Or it used to not be anyway. Until fairly recently, Celestron sold an accessory called an "Auxiliary Port Expander." This plugged into the hand control receptacle and provided multiple Aux ports and a PC port. Unfortunately, Celestron has discontinued this item, too. Probably because it is not needed to use the new GPS receiver module they are selling. Will they introduce another port expander? Maybe. Does some dealer still have the old ones? Maybe (though my friend Doc Clay Sherrod has not been able to find one). Don't despair. You do not need a PC port to use NexRemote.
You can run NexRemote using Way Two. In Way Two, you connect a standard Celestron serial cable to the computer's serial port. Plug the other end into the base of the hardware HC, just like you would if you were sending the scope on go-tos with Stellarium or Cartes du Ciel. The drawback? You have to have the normal hand control plugged into the telescope, and its presence confusticates some NexRemote newbies.
NexRemote is your hand controller. If you want to use NexRemote, you must do everything—alignments, go-tos, whatever—with NexRemote. You cannot shift back and forth between the hardware HC and NexRemote. Well, there is one exception. You can use the real HC's direction keys—but only the direction keys. Some folks want to do this when aligning the scope. It's a pain, after all, to center the stars in finder and eyepiece with the computer, even if it is next to the scope. The real solution, though, is not messing with the real HC—if you accidentally press any button other than a direction key you will have to start over with your alignment—but using a wireless gamepad.
How do you do that? Out of the box (real or virtual), NR is setup to use Logitech's Wireless Wingman game pads/controllers. It is possible to edit the configuration file in the program to accommodate other controllers, but since Wingman pads are high in quality and fairly easy to get on eBay for not much money, stick with Logitech. Either the Wireless Wingman or the Wireless Wingman II will work fine.
Once you've got the software drivers that came with the gamepad installed, the wireless receiver plugged into a USB port, and a handful of AA batteries installed in the Wingman, all you have to do is right-click on NexRemote's setup screen, select "Enable Joystick," and go to town. You can set NexRemote to either respond to only N/S – E/W pushes on the right joystick (the left stick is not used) or enable the joystick for all positions—push the joystick to the upper-right "northwest" position and your scope will move northwest. What works best for me is the N/S – E/W only mode.
How about all those buttons on the hardware HC? The vital ones are mapped to the gamepad's buttons. You've got Align, Enter, Undo, Info, Up, Down, and several others. About all you cannot do from the gamepad is enter object numbers for go-tos, and there is a good workaround for that, as I will describe shortly.
What if you forget which gamepad button does what? You can look at the NexRemote instructions, of course. While NR doesn't come with a manual, it has a help file that is virtually a manual and which can be printed out. I have mine in a loose-leaf binder. Alas, given my notoriously poor middle-aged memory, I found myself having to refer to the manual all the time. My solution to that annoyance was to write abbreviations for button functions on the gamepad with a permanent marker.
Yes, the gamepad is great. After using the Wingman's high quality joystick I will never go back to those stinking hand-paddle buttons. But for the gamepad to be truly useful, you've gotta kick it up a notch and enable voice output.
NexRemote, as mentioned above, uses Microsoft's Mike and Mary voice synthesis program. With that installed and enabled (from the setup screen right-click menu), your "telescope" will talk to you. Mary's (whose voice I prefer) pronunciations are a little odd sometimes (Betelgeuse is a trip), but are easily understandable. What makes the voice option more than just a novelty is that it allows you to align the scope without walking over to the computer. Mary (or Mike) will say the name of the star(s) chosen for alignment, and will instruct you to center them and press Enter/Align as appropriate.
Sometimes, if I want a laugh, I'll press the Info button and let Mary tell me all about the object in the eyepiece, odd pronunciations and all. Normally, though, I keep the computer audio turned down low so as not offend anybody around me on the observing field. But Mary (actually I now consider the voice to be "Celeste," my C8's name) isn't overly offensive, with most of her comments being confined to things like "Slewing to target…slew complete!"
How does a session go with NexRemote? It goes like this: I set up the scope and the computer, plug the Programming Cable into the PC port—either the real one on my NexStar 11 or the one provided by the Aux Port Expander on the CG5—fire up the mount, and boot the computer. When the computer is up, I hit the NexRemote icon, and a near duplicate of the NexStar HC is soon displayed. Why "near"? There is a set up screen that allows you to select serial ports, real and virtual (more on that last below) and other things.
Mary-Celeste intones, "Select settings and press OK," and that is what I do. You do need to enable the joystick for each session, but if you are using the program with the same telescope from the same site as last time, that's all you should have to do. If you are at a different site, select the site you are at from the right-click menu's "select site" option, assuming you've set a site up with NexGPS (otherwise you'll enter the site just like you do with the hardware HC). Check to see that the correct serial ports are selected, and like the lady says, press "OK."
If a different telescope than last time's is being used, you will need to select the telescope firmware version NexRemote should use. This is one of the beauties of NexRemote. With my NexStar 11 GPS I can, for example, select the firmware with the old North and Level alignment routine, my fave, or the more modern software builds that incorporates SkyAlign. For the GEM, I can choose an older version with the Polaris polar alignment routine I favor, or one with the new AllStar system.
After pressing OK, the settings screen is replaced with a simulacrum of the real HC, with the only difference being an indicator at the bottom that shows virtual port activity. From here, the set up procedure is mostly identical to that of the non-virtual HC: select an alignment method and the scope will begin slewing to the first star. How about time/date entry? That's one difference and another cool thing about NR; the program takes that information from the PC so you do not have to worry about inputting time/date/time zone ever again.
Once Mary mispronounces the name of the first alignment star and tells me to center it in the finder, I go to the telescope Wingman in hand, and use the joystick to center the star, press Enter, center it in the main eyepiece, and press Align. Mary-Celeste then tries to say the name of the next star, and away we go, with her chirping "alignment successful" at the end if all has gone well. During alignment you can use the button mapped to Undo to choose alternate alignment stars if necessary, just as with the hardware HC.
You'll notice I didn't mention entering latitude and longitude; that's because, thanks to one of the two add-on programs that ship with NexRemote, I don't have to. Fire up NexGPS, attach any serial-NMEA compatible GPS via the manufacturer's cable, enable the receiver, and GPS fix data will begin flowing. When the program indicates a good fix, hit "pause" and save the lat/lon data under one of four named slots. The program can also update the PC's clock with GPS time if you tell it to.
So how do you observe with NexRemote? Mostly, it's just like operating with a normal hand control. If I want to go to M42, I push the Messier button, key in "0042" (using the mouse at the PC), hit Enter, and I am on my way. The other functions and features of the NexStar HC are where they should be in the Utilities, Setup, and other menus.
What if I don't want to go over to the PC to key in object numbers? I can load a Tour via NexRemote's right-click menu. If I don't like the canned tours that ship with NR, I can easily make my own. The excellent program Astroplanner will output observing lists in a format that can be read by NexRemote. Don't own Astroplanner or want something a little simpler? Get going with NexTour.
NexTour is the other add-on that comes with NR. It is like a little planning program, and is equipped with tools to help filter and select objects from its onboard catalogs, the whole NGC and IC and a few others. When a list is composed, save it and it will appear in the right-click menu as a Tour. Once the tour is selected, you can go from one object to the next using only the Wingman gamepad, skipping objects you don't want to visit. Tours can be selected using the gamepad, but that's a little more awkward than just going from object to object within a tour.
"But Uncle Rod, but Uncle Rod, that's cool, but I want to send the scope on go-tos with Cartes du Ciel (or TheSky or Starry Night Pro or whatever) just like I do with the non-virtual NexStar hand control."
No problem, muchacho (at least theoretically). If you want to run with an astronomy program handling the go-tos, select a virtual port from the virtual port pull down on the settings screen. Which port number do you choose? Doesn't matter; just pick a virtual com port number different from the number of the real one you are using to connect NexRemote to the telescope. You do NOT run another serial cable to the telescope.
When NexRemote is aligned, start up Cartes du Ciel (for example), go to the ASCOM setup window, and select your telescope and com port as per usual. Except: enter the VIRTUAL PORT number you assigned instead of the real serial port number. Your program will then connect to the scope as per normal. Data from Cartes du Ciel (or any other program) will run along the same cable NexRemote is using, whether that's a serial or Programming cable.
Do you guide your scope during imaging through the serial port? How does that work with NexRemote? You connect your guide program (PHD or whatever you like) to the mount using the virtual port. Need to connect two or more different programs to the scope when using NexRemote? The program's authors have another application that will allow just that, NexHub, which is available for purchase separately.
Is NexRemote perfect? No, but it is close to it. This is some of the most bulletproof code I have encountered. It's not been that unusual for me to be using an astronomy program with the real HC, have the netbook go to sleep, and that result in the program's communications getting all screwed up. NexRemote? Should the PC snooze, when I wake it up NR is still there working its little heart out without complaint.
But, no, nothing is perfect. One of the problems with NR is the serial port conundrum. You must have a good USB – Serial cable if you don't have access to a hardware serial port. And I've discovered that even if you do have a USB - serial that works well with NR, asking it to work with the Virtual Port feature may be too much. That's what I assume, anyhow, since I have not yet been able to get that working reliably with USB - serial setup on the netbook.
How good is NexRemote? Well, I'll tell y'all: It is so good that the only time I've used a real HC in years has been when I've been worried about people tripping over and unplugging the Programming Cable—like at star parties where there're a lot folks wandering about in the dark. When I have used the non-virtual controller, I've pined for NR with its extra features. Most of all, NexRemote it allows me to operate my scopes remotely without fuss or bother. I can stay warm and dry under my tent-canopy and do video observing all night long with the aid of this wonderful program. Thanks Ray and Andre and Celestron. You done good.
Next time: Depends on the weather, y'all...

I no longer use my NexStar for imaging, but it was a godsend to use a wireless to control the scope!
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Nice article.
As one of the people you discussed this with on CN, I appreciate the long version explanation.
I took your advice and bought a wireless wingman used on ebay ($20). I've tested an it works very well.
Thanks again for the details. I'll keep reading it until my brain wraps around it all.

Thanks for that,Unk. I keep telling myself that I am an intelligent man, yet I need someone to whap me upside the head now and then. When Nexremote showed up with my new se8 I could not figure out why in hell you would use it.....it's a handpad on a computer screen. Mind you I'm 50 and have exactly 6 months computer experience(Luddite). I, of course, tossed the CD......I'll take my hat off now......
As always, great article. I use Nexremote to control my CGEM from either my Acer netbook or Thinkpad Z61t. I've never had issues with the USB/serial converter with either computer - I use the keyspan adapter, too, with the Logitech Wireless Rumblepad 2. Just one question... Do you know when Celestron plans to upgrade Nexremote from version 1.7.15? The latest GEM firmware on it is 4.16, and GEM 4.19 has been out for a long time...

Eight months ago I read your Nexremote post and thought it sounded like a cool thing to try.
Last night I finally ran Nexremote and Stellarium with my Celestron 8 Se and it all works just like you said it might. I'm even bugging Celestron for a license key since I tossed my copy of the software (slap).
Wireless is next.
Thanks Unk!

Hi Uncle Rod!Post a Comment
Even though this post is a couple of years old now,
it is still one of the better tutorials/information
sites for getting this all setup and working properly.
I will add my own experience here, and hopefully it
will benefit some in the future.
When the time came for me to get NexRemote working
with my CGEM/Skytools 3 Pro/wireless controller, I
went to Amazon.com and ordered the Celestron USB
adaptor from Focus Camera for $25. When it arrived,
it turned out that they sent me a different adapter,
a Trendnet TU-S9, which I could have purchased on
Amazon for $10. I was irritated, but anxious to get
everything working, so I just opened it and moved on.
The adapter worked fine with NexRemote, but I was unable
to get anything working with the virtual port. I assumed
it was an issue with NexRemote. Over the course of the
following few weeks, I began to research the problem, and
it turned out that it was the adaptor, not the software all
along. I ordered a new controller the next day, and it works
perfectly, even with the virtual ports. The model of the
new cable is the Prolific PL2303HX Rev D Chipset. On Amazon
it is currently $15, and it will work like a charm. If
anyone is researching this to get their setup working, I
hope this information helps you out.

Industry stung by IPC charges
Operators of processes under integrated pollution control (IPC) will now have to pay directly for any compliance monitoring carried out by HM Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP) under a revised cost-recovery scheme for 1994/5.1 The move has angered industry - as has a new "claw-back" fee to recoup a shortfall in HMIP's income. However, a review of the charging system has found limited support for alternatives to the current component-based scheme.

Considering its assortment of costumes and levels to explore, Tri Force Heroes is a game that could benefit from DLC. Based on the findings from The Cutting Room Floor's data miners, there's evidence to suggest DLC could be making its way to Tri Force Heroes.
The following are bits of dialogue from The Great Tripini that they managed to tap in and find deep within the game:
"You'll have to pay to, ah…access the new areas… On the other hand, the latest update is free, so… You, uh, you wanna download that update, buddy?"
"Okay, let's get real now. A new area of the Drablands is now available for purchase from Nintendo eShop. Would you like to go to Nintendo eShop to get more information?"
"You can't go to Nintendo eShop if you don't, ah, save first, buddy. Well, let ol' Trip know when you change your mind, all right?"
"To play the add-on content, a software update is required. Close the software and download the latest update from Nintendo eShop?"
Aside from new levels, it also appears there might be more costumes coming. They found five spaces labeled labeled as "sys_costume_dlc_02" up through "sys_costume_dlc_06," indicating possible costume DLC.
Nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo regarding the DLC, but it looks like these data miners have found some pretty solid grounds to backup the claim. What kind of DLC would you like to see?

This summer Alan and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. The years have flown by, but each year has been extremely blessed. GOD has blessed us in so many ways!! To celebrate our wonderful 10 years together we went back to the same resort that we went for our honeymoon in Negril, Jamaica. We had such a great time, we were sad to come home, even though we did miss our kiddos.
Our room was beach front, so every morning we could open the curtains and see the beautiful ocean.
The moment we arrived at the airport we began to remember our first trip and how wonderful it was. It rained a lot of the time we were there, but we still had fun. One day we went out on a boat for a snorkeling trip.
We got out to the spot and had all jumped out and began snorkeling. The fish were beautiful and the coral reef was amazing. After about 15 minutes, the skies opened up. The driver called us back to the boat. We boarded and he headed back to shore. It was my first time in a boat during a storm, and it was honestly very, very scary. I couldn't see land at all!!
The food in Jamaica is wonderful. The fruits are always sweet and fresh. We ate so much good food, especially fresh fish. Almost every meal had fish, even breakfast some mornings.
Besides eating, we spent most of our time laying on the beach, swimming, and reading.
We can't wait to get back!!!!

My friend Mystic put in an order a few weeks ago for our new minor obsession – Korean cosmetics. For each full size item, they sent at least one sample. So a few of these came to me.
I don't have a photo of all the things she sent me. There was many things.
This is one such thing –
Innisfree The Green tea Seed Serum.
From Shop At Korea –
Product Description !
This nutrient-moisturizing serum creates a dewy and clear complexion as the seed ingredients harvested from the organic green tea gardens in Jeju island intensively hold onto skin moisture and the natural hydrating betaine ingredients promote moisture synthesis within skin layers.
There was enough in this sample to last three days, so I got a good go at sampling it over a small period of time.
It was really nice to put on, it was absorbed very quickly and seemed to add an extra level of non – sweaty moisture to my face. I like serums, of the few (two) I have tried they have been more beneficial than they have been hassle. I noticed a bit of a scent, I can't quite place it. Some others have said it is citrusy, but i'm not sure…
I did notice over the days I used it, I did not break out. It was certainly good for the moisturising properties, but some sites are selling it £16 for 80ml, and this is not the kind of price range I am used to shopping in. If I could find it for less, I would be tempted.
Marks lost for price, but aces product.

Bandai Namco is "Very Excited" to Announce Their New IP at Gamescom
New, new, new!
We're now a month away from Gamescom 2016, and we've got a pretty good idea on who's going to be showing off what. (Don't expect Microsoft to be there this year.) Bandai Namco, the publisher behind the Dark Souls and Tekken franchise, will be attending.
In addition to Tekken 7 and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, both of which will be available to play for the public, the publisher is also going to announce a brand new IP. No other information about it, like a developer or genre, has been said besides that it'll be for a "Western audience". That, and marketing boss Herve Hoerdt says that they're "very excited" to let people see it. So let those thoughts fester in your head for the next 30 days.
Gamescom 2016 runs August 18-24. What do you think Bandai Namco will be announcing? Let us know in the comments below.

An overview and model of complex society in the prehistoric Southeast.
Along the banks of the lower Chattahoochee River, the remains of ancient settlements are abundant, including archaeological sites produced by Native Americans between 900 and 350 years ago, and marked by the presence of large earthen mounds. Like similar monuments elsewhere in the Southeastern United States, the lower Chatta-hoochee River mounds have long attracted the attention of travelers, antiquarians, and archaeologists.
As objects from the mounds were unearthed, occasionally illustrated and discussed in print, attention became focused on the aesthetic qualities of the artifacts, the origins of the remains, and the possible relationship to the Creek Indians. Beginning in the 20th century, new concerns emerged as the developing science of archaeology was introduced to the region. As many of the sites became threatened or destroyed by reservoir construction, trained archaeologists initiated extensive excavations of the mounds. Although classification of artifacts and sites into a chronological progression of cultures was the main objective of this effort, a second concern, sometimes more latent than manifest, was the reconstruction of a past way of life. Archaeologists hoped to achieve a better understanding of the sociopolitical organization of the peoples who built the mounds and of how those organizations changed through time.
Contemporary archaeologists, while in agreement on many aspects of the ancient cultures, debate the causes, forms, and degrees of sociopolitical complexity in the ancient Southeast. Do the mounds mark the capitals of political territories? If so, what was the scale and scope of these ancient "provinces"? What manner of society constructed the mound settlements? What was the sociopolitical organization of these long-dead populations? How can archaeologists answer such queries with the mute and sometimes ordinary materials with which they work: pottery, stone tools, organic residues, and the strata of remnant settlements, buildings, and mounds?

"This book
provides a much needed summary of the excavations at several important but poorly documented mound sites and nicely synthesizes this data into a phase-by-phase history of chiefdom development in the Chattahoochee Valley. At the same time, the authors present a provocative model for the development and spread of Mississippian societies through the Southeast"-- Thomas J. Pluckhahn, University of Oklahoma, co-editor of
Light on the Path: The Anthropology and History of the Southeastern Indians.
"This is a significant book. It offers thoughtful arguments on important issues, such as the initial Mississippian migration to the region. It is well organized, cogently written, and presents important new archaeological data. . . . It should be read by all interested in Mississippian political structure."

Digraphs -NG and -NK SORT
Next week, our spelling words and sound spelling cards focus on the diagraphs -ng and -nk. I am guessing these are going to be a bit challenging for many of my little first graders. So, I decided to create a SORT activity that targeted these two digraphs to give my CREW as much reinforcement and practice as possible. Here is a sample of what I came up with...

Hacking and modding development behind the Kindle Fire has been slowly but surely picking up ever since the device was first released. It's no surprise that there are already a multitude of hacks and mods available, Amazon made it clear that they know the Kindle Fire will be rooted and that developers will have their way with it. Thanks to a Kindle Fire developer on XDA, those hacks and mods are now easier to find and apply.
Developer "Vashypooh" on the XDA Developers forums has released a Windows utility for the Kindle Fire known as, well, Kindle Fire Utility. By using Kindle Fire Utility, users can easily perform a number of actions with their device, including change the boot mode, repair permissions, factory reset, pull updates from Amazon, replace the framework, install an alternate recovery and more.
Kindle Fire Utility v.1 was just released today, and already it seems to be getting a fair amount of attention. As time goes, the utility will be updated with more features and tweaks, so if you own a Kindle Fire and have a passion for tinkering, you might want to keep this one bookmarked. While Kindle Fire Utility seems easy enough to use, just remember that only you are responsible for what happens to your device. For more information on Kindle Fire Utility v.1, visit XDA.

I'm currently working my way through Nate Wragg's course, 'Character Design for Animation' over at the CG Master Academy and am really enjoying it so far, the creature above was my week 1 assignment.
I've been designing characters for years, but have never really put any thought behind my process, so the course is really helping me to rationalise my design choices, leading to better characters in less time.
I'll be posting my work from each assignment so stay tuned!

The magic box sounds like an interesting option, and I'm intrigued to see the process behind Chris' Tinkerbell vis dev work. The idea of subscription based learning really lowers the barrier to entry too.

Opponents of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) have grown increasingly frustrated at the administration's unwillingness to support including repeal legislation in this year's defense authorization bill. With unprecedented support within the Pentagon, favorable public opinion within the ranks and the public, repeal legislation introduced in the Senate and House, and the unpleasantness of having to defend the policy in court, one would think that ending the policy would be a no brainer for a White House interested in re-energizing its base and advancing a significant piece of its agenda.
But as AmericaBLOG and Kerry Eleveld of the Advocate have chronicled, the White House has repeatedly avoided taking a strong stance on repeal and may be actively urging some Members of Congress "not to include the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" in the Defense Authorization bill, and not to have a vote on DADT on the House floor, this year." An unnamed "White House official" denied these reports last week "without stating whether or not the White House did indeed want a vote this year." In fact, the administration has implied the contrary, suggesting that it would wait for the Pentagon to review the policy and work with Congress to repeal the bill sometime thereafter.
This morning, Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, sent a letter to Obama urging him to reconsider and "reaffirm" his commitment to end the policy:
I am very disturbed by multiple reports from Capitol Hill that your Congressional liaison team is urging some Members of Congress to avoid a vote on repeal this year. The upcoming House and Senate votes will be close, and very frankly, Mr. President, we need your help now.
As a veteran, and on behalf of thousands of men and women who have served and want to serve their country openly, I ask you today to stand by your encouraging words to the American people in your State of The Union address: "This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are. It's the right thing to do."
Mr. President, this is also about the integrity of all service members. I respectfully urge you to continue speaking up for them on Capitol Hill. Under your leadership and with your voice we can have a repeal victory this year.
Indeed, while the administration has taken some important steps towards gay equality — it passed hate-crimes legislation, extended "certain benefits" to same-sex partners of federal employees, appointed openly gay individuals to key positions, began the process of ending the HIV travel ban and required hospitals to grant visitation rights to gay couples — it has been reluctant to loudly push for the more controversial elements of the agenda. In fact, the White House even waited until late afternoon of Thursday April 15th to issue the non-controversial hospital regulations, missing the publishing deadlines for many LGBT papers.
The administration has been operating under the radar on LGBT issues and seems intent on applying the same non-confrontational approach to DADT as it employed for health reform — give a third party time and space to try and forge a compromise without doing too much to shape the debate and then reclaim control of the process just as it's heading under, orchestrating a last minute all-out push to secure passage. The good news is that this has worked once and so the administration could succeed by waiting for the Pentagon to produce its study, giving both political parties and the military an opportunity to weigh in on the process. The bad news is, passage won't come as quickly or smoothly as advocates would like and the final bill will be far from perfect.
For those ready to end the policy this year, waiting for the administration to pull yet another rabbit out of its hat is as frustrating as getting the President to weigh in on health reform after the Massachusetts election, and probably far less probable. Several groups including the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network have argued that a drawn out process would actually undermine successful repeal and have outlined responsible proposals for ending the policy the policy before the Pentagon finishes its study. Unfortunately, the administration may now be moving in the opposite direction.
GetEQUAL announced it will protest President Obama today in L.A. over DADT. From the press release:
To demand that President Obama include DADT repeal language in his Defense Authorization budget that is in the process of being sent to Congress, and that he publicly state his support for repeal this year. While the President firmly committed to repeal DADT in his State of the Union this past January, since that time he has gone silent on whether he wants to see the anti-gay law repealed this year. Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) recently said that he is 'disappointed' and 'frustrated' with the Obama administration's silence on DADT, and Frank has called on President Obama to publicly state his desire to repeal DADT this year.

New platform connects buyers and sellers of secondary interests in real estate funds
SINGAPORE, 7 August 2012 – In an Asia-Pacific first, Jones Lang LaSalle has launched a new trading platform for buyers and sellers of secondary interests in real estate funds. The new Secondary Market Bulletin (SMB) delivers a more efficient and transparent way to transact on the secondary market by providing a marketplace for unlisted real estate funds.
"The SMB is an evolution in the indirect real estate market, offering greater pricing transparency and improved liquidity to investors," said Nick Crockett, Head of Corporate Finance – Asia-Pacific at Jones Lang LaSalle. "Authorised sellers stipulate pricing requirements and desired volume and match them with buyers looking to access product they may not have known was available."
With its first deal already completed and over US$250m of secondaries available in the region, the SMB is attracting healthy interest from the investor community.
"In the last few years, there has been increased interest from investors to participate on the secondary market, largely due to a re-evaluation of their portfolios and desire for increased liquidity," Nick said.
The launch of SMB comes at a time when the Asia-Pacific corporate finance markets are showing positive growth. Nick comments:
"There has been an increase in the corporate finance business especially in China and Japan due to capital constrained investors and developers seeking equity or high yield debt. Co-investments between passive capital and local operating partners across region have also grown. In addition, we are closing a number of mezzanine debt opportunities in Australia by matching Asian capital with local lenders. However the capital raising environment for funds is still expected to be slow for the rest of 2012, as investors remain cautious of the current economic environment or have difficulty finding the appropriate product."

Planning ahead with Music Express
I've mentioned Music K-8 Magazine before which is really my favorite elementary education periodical. However, I also get John Jacobson's Music Express Magazine. I like this magazine for different reasons than I like Music K-8. My favorite parts of this magazine are the listening maps and the pop songs. The kids love the pop songs, so it's nice to have someone else figure out which ones are kid-appropriate. Last year I discovered that the Music Express website lists the songs and activities that will be in the future issues. You can access this year's sneak peek here. I love that feature. It really helps me with planning, especially if I think I might want to program one of the pop songs for our spring concert. This year I subscribed to the electronic version of the student magazine which will save me from having to scan the listening map to be able to project it. I also like that it won't take as much room to store. We'll see if I like it as well. The drawback to this magazine is that it is so expensive and that makes it not accessible to some schools. I'm very fortunate that our music booster organization, Friends of Music, makes this purchase for me each year.

Click to Order Now And Start Improve Your Sex Life
What is Maxoderm Cream?
Maxoderm is topical cream consisting of a proprietary formula of 100% natural products designed to increase the flow of blood to the penis and surrounding areas. Some examples of the ingredients included are saw palmetto fruit extract, panax ginseng extract, l-arginine, green tea extract and white nettle extract. The key ingredient that distinguishes Maxoderm from other natural male enhancement products is Methyl Salicylate. This special ingredient dramatically increases the sensitivity of the affected area and leads to the slight wintergreen aroma given off by the product.
How is Maxoderm Supposed to Work?
To understand this you will first need a fundamental understanding of what leads to a male erection. Male sexual arousal results in signals to the nervous system that leads to the release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum, the spongy erectile tissue in the penis. The nitric oxide is then absorbed into the smooth muscle cells lining the arteries of the corpus cavernosum thereby relaxing these smooth muscle cells. This relaxation of the muscles lining the penile arteries allows the arteries to become engorged with blood which then compresses the veins that drain blood from the penis. This trapping of blood results in an erection. Maxoderm Male Enhancement's ingredients are specifically formulated to increase the flow of blood to the penis and then trap it there resulting in bigger erections.
What are the advantages to using Maxoderm?
There are two primary reasons to consider Maxoderm over their competitors. The first is that it does not require a prescription which saves both money and a potentially embarrassing visit to your doctor. The second big advantage is that, since it is a cream, virtually all of the ingredients go to work on the specified area near immediately. Even if you could find pills with the same active ingredients, up to 95% of the active effect is lost due to the digestive process. Also, since it is a cream that needs to be applied directly to the area, you can involve your significant other by making it part of your foreplay.
Does Maxoderm Truly Work?
This is the big question most men want answered. Based on studies conducted by a number of researchers the answer appears to be a resounding yes. A recent survey of men using Maxoderm has documented that 87% of them noticed significant enhancement within 5 minutes of application, with a majority reporting a time of less than one minute. Most users have reported significantly thicker, stronger and longer lasting erections as a direct result of using Maxoderm.
Thousands of men have switched to MaxoDerm Cream. Why? Simple. Each Maxoderm feedback will tell you that it works. Men who have used and continue to use this product have been very satisfied with the results, including their wives. The experience couples have in bed are beyond satisfying that they just can't let go of Maxoderm. It has boosted every man's confidence inside — and even outside — the bedroom. A Maxoderm feedback said that the warming sensation are wild, and their wives love it too. The firmness of the erection brought about by Maxoderm is having couples enjoy the best sex ever even at 52 years old. It is having men feel like they are teenagers all over again. There are also men who have been trying pills but have had headaches from them so they switched to Maxoderm. It worked outstandingly for them, improving their sex lives by bounds.
The key to success is always taking the proactive approach. If a part of your life has been somewhat destroyed because of your self-esteem issues, take control and start picking up the pieces. With Maxoderm, boost your confidence again. Improve your sex life and bring back the zest in your relationship. Join the thousands of men who have been satisfied. Get amazing and quick results, and then boast of your own great Maxoderm feedback.

Palm Kernel Oil Machine
Rotocel Extraction
Rotocel Extraction Process Features:
1. Adopt stainless steel fixed grid plate and increase the horizontal grid plates, which can prevent the strong miscella from flowing back to the blanking case, so as to ensure good extraction effect;
2. The rotocel extractor is driven by rack, with unique rotor of balanced design, low rotating speed, low power, smooth operation, no noise and quite low maintenance cost;
3. The feeding system can adjust the rotating speed of airlock and main engine according to the feeding quantity and maintain a certain material level, which is beneficial to the micro negative pressure inside the extractor and reduce the solvent leakage.
4. The advanced miscella circulation process is designed to reduce the fresh solvent inputs, reduce the residual oil in meal, improve the miscella concentration and save energy by reducing the evaporation capacity.
5. The high material layer of the extractor helps to form immersion extraction, reduce the meal quality in miscella, improve the quality of crude oil and reduce the evaporation system scaling.
6. Specially suitable for the extraction of various pre-pressed meals.
Towline Extractor
Towline Extractor Advantages:
1) The material is divided into several independent units on the material bed, which can effectively prevent miscella at all levels from fleeing hither and thither on the material layer and ensure the concentration gradient between several sprays.
2) Immersion area appears in each lattice, which can help achieve better immersion effect.
3) The chain box is supported by track and can prolong the service life of screen deck by not touching it.
4) The towline extractor is driven by world leading double-shaft hydraulic motor, with balance force, reliable operation and less maintenance cost.
5) Specialty suitable for the extraction of high oil and high power materials, and better immersion effect can be expected for ordinary oil plants
Wet Meal Desolventizing Process
Desolventizer toaster advantages:
a) Passivate and damage the anti-nutritional components such as the urea enzyme and trypsin in the meal, and improve meal value in use.
b) Control the protein denaturation degree in the meal , and improve the NSI index effectively.
c) It can better regulate the color, flavor and taste of the meal.
d) It can better reduce residual solvent in the meal and regulate the meal moisture, so as to guarantee the minimum solvent consumption and safe use of the meal.
Negative pressure evaporation process:
The liquid from the extractor is the miscella containing grease and oil, which can be separated out according their different vaporization temperatures. Our company mainly uses vacuum evaporation technology, and it can reduce solvent leakage and consumption. The separated solvent vapour is cooled and recycled back to the extractor for reuse, which can improve the solvent efficiency.
Vacuum Evaporation Advantages:
a) Vacuum evaporation features high efficiency, thorough de-solvation and low solvent consumption in crude oil.
b) Use the second steam of desolventizer toaster and remaining steam from steam jet pump as the heat source of the first steam, which can save energy, reduce the condenser configuration area and save investment.
c) Due to the low temperature of the steam, the crude oil features light color, good quality and low residual solvent.
Solvent condensation & recovery process:
Solvent condensation system combines with evaporation system closely, and evaporative condenser and steam stripping condenser all work under negative pressure. Non-condensable gas enters the energy saver from the shell of the first evaporator. In energy saver, noncondensable gas exchanges heat with condensate from the evaporative condenser. Finally, the condensate temperature discharged from energy saver is increased, and the solvent separated from water goes to solvent holding tank. The high temperature makes it unnecessary to be reheated for the recycling, so as to save energy. Noncondensable gas from energy saver enters desolventizing condenser, in which a great deal of gas is condensed, and the tail gas is discharged into the final condenser. The solvent gas from the extractor enters extraction condenser, and the noncondensable tail gas enters the final condenser. For the free gas in final condenser, diversion box, holding tank, underground solvent library and miscella tank, cool them with low temperatured cold water to recycle most of solvent gas. The tail gas with little solvent goes to paraffin recovery process.

The second stop of the 2015 Freeride World Tour was cancelled on Tuesday after Frenchman Julien Lopez was caught in an avalanche on his first run at the Kappl, Austria venue. He was able to pull and release his FWT-mandated airbag, escaping the 20-inch deep, 130-foot wide slide with only minor bruising to his right leg and ribs, but officials deemed the course too dangerous to continue. The call comes after the FWT had already moved the event from Fieberbrunn to Kappl amid snow safety concerns.

As much as I love Mozilla, I'm beginning to think that I can't use it as my email client any longer. After I've been using it for awhile, it seems like it starts to break. On machines where I don't use the email portion, it seems to work fine forever, but on the laptop where I use it to read my email, it has basically failed two times. The first time, it got to where it just hung on startup and wouldn't load any more until I created a new profile. Now whenever I try to send mail it just hangs and starts eating memory like crazy. I like Mozilla's email client, it's really pretty decent (given that all email clients basically stuck), but if it's going to crap out periodically and make me start over with a clean in box, then it has to go. Fortunately for this iteration I started using IMAP instead of POP so I don't have to retire my old email or port it to whatever new client I start using.
I also use mutt to read my email through a shell, so changing email clients won't delay my email responsiveness any more than my general lack of reading email already does, but it is quite a hassle. There's also the matter of finding something else to use. Pretty much every email client I've tried annoys me in some fundamental way.

Estonia claimed to be under attack last spring, but not by guns or bombs. This assault came in the form of data requests from more than a million computers. It overwhelmed the Baltic nation's computer networks, crashing e-mail for its parliament, taking down emergency phone lines and freezing online services of government offices, banks, universities and hospitals. Estonia accused Russia of conducting a cyberwar in retaliation for a decision to move a Soviet-era war memorial. The Russian government denied involvement.
Likewise, last month when hackers somewhere in China infiltrated a U.S. Defense Department network, Chinese officials denied its army had any role. (British, French, German and New Zealand officials have complained of similar China-based hacking.) Though no one accused China of acts of war, both events revealed how the Internet is reshaping warfare.
The Internet creates real risks for societies dependent on information networks. Just last March, in an experimental cyberattack, researchers at the Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory managed to make a generator self-destruct. So computer attacks don't just threaten other computers but the larger infrastructure. Viruses could become as dangerous as missiles. At the same time, cyberattacks have the potential to minimize the costs of conflict in lives and dollars. Instead of demolishing an electrical grid, cyberattacks offer militaries the option of disabling it temporarily.

In "Albert Nobbs," Glenn Close plays a character she first played almost 30 years ago on the stage – a waiter in a late-19th century Dublin hotel who has passed as a man for most of her adult life. Her disguise is presented as an act of self-preservation, a way for a single woman to stay off the streets and away from the poorhouse and the clutches of male violence.
From a psychological standpoint, this rationale doesn't really explain Albert's life change and to its credit, the film, which was directed by Rodrigo García and written by Close, Gabriella Prekop, and Irish novelist John Banville, doesn't spell anything out for us.
Albert sees himself as a model gentleman and that means taking a wife, so he sets his sights on the hotel's flirty chambermaid, Helen (Mia Wasikowska). The sadness and almost Chaplinesque pathos that ensues is well wrought and Close, although she is so recessive that at times she seems to fade into the ether, is quite touching. Her explosive counterpart is Janet McTeer's Hubert Page, a housepainter who is also a woman in disguise but, unlike Albert, revels in her maleness. Grade: B (Rated R for some sexuality, brief nudity, and language.)

Well now doesn't that just sound fancy—Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Blueberry Coulis. We're stepping it up and putting on our fancy pants over here at The Busty Baker! Sort of..
Until very (very) recently, I had no idea what panna cotta really was. I'd heard of it. I'd seen it around the interwebs. But it just sounded very classy and probably way too complicated to make. So I paid no attention to it, because, hello—I'm lazy. I don't want to work harder than I have to. (Let's just call it low-key instead of lazy, shall we?) But you want to know a secret? Panna cotta is totally simple. And totally delicious.
Think of it as pudding meets Jello, all dressed up in pearls and a pretty dress. This isn't your lunchbox pudding cup. Smooth and creamy, speckled with vanilla bean seeds, and served up in a fancy glass, it's an elegant dessert at the end of a meal. And the Blueberry Coulis? Dark and dramatic on top of pure white, it's the perfect accent to the panna cotta. And no one has to know coulis (pronounced coo-lee) is just a fancy name for blueberry sauce.
I mean really, what sounds more classy and impressive: Panna Cotta with Coulis? Or Vanilla Pudding with Blueberry Sauce? I think we all know which one is more likely to wow and woo.
Both the panna cotta and the coulis can be made ahead of time, so you have plenty of time to pretty yourself up for your Valentine's date night and enjoy a fabulous dinner, followed by a divine (and totally stress free) dessert!
Feel free to substitute any berry for the blueberries if they're not your flavor of choice.
Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Blueberry Coulis
Adapted from Pastry Affair and Edible Garden
Makes 4 servings
Panna Cotta:
1 (0.25oz) envelope of gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blueberry Coulis:
1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Splash of lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
*If you don't have a vanilla bean, increase vanilla extract to 2 teaspoons instead.
1. In small bowl sprinkle gelatin over water and stir to combine; set aside for about 5 minutes to allow gelatin to absorb water.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, stir together heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla bean seeds and empty vanilla bean pod. Cook until heated through and sugar is completely dissolved. Add gelatin mixture to pan and cook, stirring constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully remove vanilla bean pod.
3. Pour panna cotta into 4 glasses or ramekins. Chill in refrigerator until completely cooled and set, about 4 to 6 hours. While panna cotta is cooling, make blueberry coulis.
4. Place blueberries in a blender and purée until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan, straining through a fine mesh strainer, if desired. Add sugar and lemon juice, stirring to combine and simmer over medium low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until mixture has thickened slightly. Transfer to a small bowl and chill in the refrigerator until cooled completely.
5. To assemble, pour a layer of blueberry coulis over panna cotta and serve chilled.
