Captivating Connecticut Garden
Tucked behind an old farmhouse lies a beautiful garden
Tucked behind an old farmhouse in Connecticut lies a garden. It is a sublime composition of color and texture where shrubs interweave with perennials, shapes interplay eloquently, and the spectrum of hues is explored to its fullest. Like many gardens, the place is transporting. But unlike any other garden, what happens in Lynden B. Miller's landscape has touched 8 million people or more. She is the powerhouse behind many of New York City's most prominent public spaces. But she discovered the secrets of horticulture on the five acres around her Connecticut home, and she puts plants through their paces in her own garden before letting them loose in The Big Apple.
It all began in 1979 with a "perfectly hideous" swimming pool on an abandoned farm in Connecticut purchased by Lynden and her husband, Leigh. As a trained artist, Lynden held strong opinions about beauty, and the cracked cement swimming pool did not measure up. She had already spent a few years studying horticulture and "going to every garden I could lay my hands on" in Britain while her husband was on assignment in London. Following the couple's return to New York City with their two young sons, she was taking design courses at the New York Botanical Garden when the time came to whip the Connecticut weekend house into shape. "I looked at the land and saw a curved hedge," she recalls. And once the yew hedge was installed, Lynden went nursery-hunting for a palette of grays, pinks, purples, and burgundy that could entertain brilliantly and harmoniously throughout the year in front of the evergreen backdrop.
That was Lynden's initial effort to reach beyond the obvious. From the garden's inception, she experimented with shrubs, perennials, bulbs, and annuals—paying keen attention, learning from mistakes, and trying many different approaches to design. The garden radiates from the hedge. She orchestrated a formal herb garden to lurk seductively around the bend—the only prim area on the premises—beside a tool shed/belvedere. Like brushwork, vistas were lined by crabapples and underplanted by a battalion of early daffodils and, later, daylilies. There's a tapestry-dense meadow dissected by long paths and overlooked by destination benches. And alongside the (now renovated) pool lies an emerald green wildflower dell that bursts into blossom every spring. By the time she was finished (although gardens are never really completed), she had tackled 2½ acres. When you think about it, that space could easily be the dimensions of a public garden.
But public gardens weren't on her radar at that time. All Lynden wanted was a change from her painting studio (she was a fine art painter for 18 years) when Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, city planner and Central Park's first administrator, came to her with a request in 1982: "I want you to restore the Conservatory Garden up in the northern end of the park." Lynden was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the project, but agreed to check it out. That initial reconnaissance was not a stroll in the park. With funding for city parks slashed since the '70s, entering the gates of the garden required a security escort in 1982.
To see a space quickly transformed, say eyesore within Lynden's hearing. Once glorious, the then graffiti-riddled and crime-pocked section of Central Park at 105th Street and 5th Avenue in East Harlem spurred her to action. She created an updated scheme based on the original garden plan. By April 1983, the Conservatory Garden was again open to rave reviews—especially from the neighborhood.
It was just the start. There was the triumph in Bryant Park—"five acres of degradation" before Lynden proved naysayers wrong. Then there was the 97th Street/Park Avenue Mall, Madison Square Park, Wagner Park, Red Hook Waterfront Park, and on and on. In all, Lynden Miller has worked on 30 public spaces in and around New York City.
And it all started with a farmhouse in Connecticut. Although the borders, the daffodil allée, and the dappled carpet in the woodland garden offer a place to stroll, explore, and feast all the senses as a respite after a long week rushing around gardens in the city's five boroughs, Lynden Miller's garden is much more than just a place of personal solace. Tidbits from her home garden can be found all around the city. Prone to downplay her own personal pursuits, Lynden sums up her garden as "my plaything." True enough, she has a lark in her own backyard. But every New Yorker has benefited.

The Daffodil Project
Lynden B. Miller, with her far-flung public landscape projects, is the dynamo responsible for helping to improve the quality of life for 8 million New York City residents. But on September 11, 2001, as she watched the smoke rising from the ruins of the World Trade Center, she was beside herself with grief. Then, in her darkest hour, the fax machine started chattering with an offer from a Dutch bulb grower/friend: "What can I do to help?" In Lynden's Connecticut garden, a long strip of daffodils pops up every spring as a symbol of hope. So she didn't miss a beat. "Do you have any extra daffodils?"
Read on for the rest of Lynden's story.
The Daffodil Project
When New York harbor finally reopened late that September, one of the first ships to come in was laden with a million daffodil bulbs for the city. "Let's plant them in places that haven't seen a flower in years," the no-neighborhood-left-behind garden designer decided. Ten thousand volunteers came to help get those bulbs in the ground. The next spring, New York City was circled in golden blossoms. And it didn't stop there. The Daffodil Project—as it's now called—is responsible for planting 5 million bulbs to date. Lynden's goal is to ultimately plant 8 million daffodils—one for every New York resident.

MUSCAT (Reuters) - Britain's Chris Froome laid down an early marker for the season as he beat all the major Tour de France contenders to win the Tour of Oman in style on Saturday.
Team Sky's Froome, second overall in last year's Tour behind team mate and compatriot Bradley Wiggins, won the fifth stage ahead of double Tour champion Alberto Contador, who took second place overall.
Saturday's sixth and final stage was won by French champion Nacer Bouhanni as Froome secured his first major stage race victory.
"It's been an incredibly successful week for us this week. The team has rallied around me all the way and having guys of the caliber of Bradley Wiggins helping you to win a race makes it a hell of a lot easier to be up there when the going gets tough," Froome told reporters.
"The guys have done a sterling job this week and been around me when it's counted. Luckily I've been able to come up with the goods and finish it off at the end of the stages.
"This is still very early days at the moment and early on in the season. This was a preparation event and a good test to see how the winter training has gone so far. I'm quite confident that I'm on track at the moment and right where I need to be with my preparations in view of being ready at 100 per cent for the Tour de France."
Team Sky principal David Brailsford added: "It's good to get the win, especially when you look at the quality of the field here. We're happy that the team's been able to get off to a strong start again this year and this result allows us to build momentum.
"It's an important result too for Chris as he's been able to get his first major stage race victory - that will boost his confidence. He didn't put a foot wrong all week so it's been a good start to the year from him."
Australian Cadel Evans took third place overall ahead of Spain's Joaquim Rodriguez, winner of stage four.
"Third isn't bad," Evans was quoted as saying in a team statement.
"It was a nice race with a good level of riders. It's hard to say something about my condition for the Tour de France, but I can say that after my first race I am feeling good and my condition is good."
Froome's win was reminiscent of Wiggins's Paris-Nice victory in 2012, when the 32-year-old rider also claimed the Tour de Romandie, the Criterium du Dauphine and the Tour.
The Kenya-born Froome went toe-to-toe with Contador, Rodriguez, Cadel Evans and Italian Vincenzo Nibali on the climbs as he snatched the leader's red jersey after stage four.
Wiggins, who started his season in Oman in a supporting role, was never in contention.

Harry H needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 108 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
We're a small software company that makes scheduling software for folks in the construction industry.
Over the 8 years that we've been in business, we've realized that our personalities have shaped the company: I think we're friendly, straightforward, and we bend over backward for our customers. We don't pretend to be button-down corporate guys - just a group of people who build, sell, and support software.
We don't have great design skills, though. We're slowly trying to change that... and we'd love to find someone who can help, starting with business cards.
We typically hand out lots of business cards at trade shows... most of them go to our customers and prospects (who are typically owners of construction sub-contracting companies).
Although most of our customers don't place value on the aesthetics of our software, clarity and readability are important.
I'd like a clean, clear business card that looks professional. Our existing cards look like they're a word template, and the previous ones were overly colorful to the point of being hard to read.
1) Logo is attached.
2) for each person, just need their Name, Phone, Email
3) would like to include web site: http://www.moraware.com
4) possibly include the words "Job Management Software", maybe on the back of card.
5) would like enough white space to write on the back of the card

8.6 Formatted Messages
We've seen that in order to internationalize programs, you must place all user-visible messages into resource bundles. This is straightforward when the text to be localized consists of simple labels such as those on buttons and menu items. It is trickier, however, with messages that are composed partially of static text and partially of dynamic values. For example, a compiler might have to display a message such as "Error at line 5 of file "hello.java"", in which the line number and filename are dynamic and locale-independent, while the rest of the message is static and needs to be localized.
The MessageFormat class of the java.text package helps tremendously with these types of messages. To use it, you store only the static parts of a message in the ResourceBundle and include special characters that indicate where the dynamic parts of the message are to be placed. For example, one resource bundle might contain the message: "Error at line {0} of file {1}". And another resource bundle might contain a "translation" that looks like this: "Erreur: {1}: {0}".
To use such a localized message, you create a MessageFormat object from the static part of the message and then call its format( ) method, passing in an array of the values to be substituted. In this case, the array contains an Integer object that specifies the line number and a String object that specifies the filename. The MessageFormat class knows about other Format classes defined in java.text. It creates and uses NumberFormat objects to format numbers and DateFormat objects to format dates and times. In addition, you can design messages that create ChoiceFormat objects to convert from numbers to strings. This is useful when working with enumerated types, such as numbers that correspond to month names, or when you need to use the singular or plural form of a word based on the value of some number.
Example 8-5 demonstrates this kind of MessageFormat usage. It is a convenience class with a single static method for the localized display of exception and error messages. When invoked, the code attempts to load a ResourceBundle with the basename "Errors". If found, it looks up a message resource using the class name of the exception object that was passed. If such a resource is found, it displays the error message. An array of five values is passed to the format( ) method. The localized error message can include any or all of these arguments.
The LocalizedError.display( ) method defined in this example was used in Example 8-2 at the beginning of this chapter. The default Errors.properties resource bundle used in conjunction with this example is shown following the code listing. Error message display for the program is nicely internationalized. Porting the program's error message to a new locale is simply a matter of translating (localizing) the Errors.properties file.
Example 8-5. LocalizedError.java
package je3.i18n; import java.text.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.*; /** * A convenience class that can display a localized exception message * depending on the class of the exception. It uses a MessageFormat, * and passes five arguments that the localized message may include: * {0}: the message included in the exception or error. * {1}: the full class name of the exception or error. * {2}: the file the exception occurred in * {3}: a line number in that file. * {4}: the current date and time. * Messages are looked up in a ResourceBundle with the basename * "Errors", using a the full class name of the exception object as * the resource name. If no resource is found for a given exception * class, the superclasses are checked. **/ public class LocalizedError { public static void display(Throwable error) { ResourceBundle bundle; // Try to get the resource bundle. // If none, print the error in a nonlocalized way. try { String bundleName = "com.davidflanagan.examples.i18n.Errors"; bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(bundleName); } catch (MissingResourceException e) { error.printStackTrace(System.err); return; } // Look up a localized message resource in that bundle, using the // classname of the error (or its superclasses) as the resource name. // If no resource was found, display the error without localization. String message = null; Class c = error.getClass( ); while((message == null) && (c != Object.class)) { try { message = bundle.getString(c.getName( )); } catch (MissingResourceException e) { c = c.getSuperclass( ); } } if (message == null) { error.printStackTrace(System.err); return; } // Get the filename and linenumber for the exception // In Java 1.4, this is easy, but in prior releases, we had to try // parsing the output Throwable.printStackTrace( ); StackTraceElement frame = error.getStackTrace( )[0]; // Java 1.4 String filename = frame.getFileName( ); int linenum = frame.getLineNumber( ); // Set up an array of arguments to use with the message String errmsg = error.getMessage( ); Object[ ] args = { ((errmsg!= null)?errmsg:""), error.getClass( ).getName( ), filename, new Integer(linenum), new Date( ) }; // Finally, display the localized error message, using // MessageFormat.format( ) to substitute the arguments into the message. System.err.println(MessageFormat.format(message, args)); } /** * This is a simple test program that demonstrates the display( ) method. * You can use it to generate and display a FileNotFoundException or an * ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException **/ public static void main(String[ ] args) { try { FileReader in = new FileReader(args[0]); } catch(Exception e) { LocalizedError.display(e); } } }
The following listing shows the resource bundle properties file used to localize the set of possible error messages that can be thrown by the ConvertEncoding class of Example 8-2:
# # This is the file Errors.properties # One property for each class of exceptions that our program might # report. Note the use of backslashes to continue long lines onto the # next. Also note the use of \n and \t for newlines and tabs # java.io.FileNotFoundException: \ Error: File "{0}" not found\n\t\ Error occurred at line {3} of file "{2}"\n\tat {4} java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: \ Error: Specified encoding not supported\n\t\ Error occurred at line {3} of file "{2}"\n\tat {4,time} on {4,date} java.io.CharConversionException:\ Error: Character conversion failure. Input data is not in specified format. # A generic resource. Display a message for any error or exception that # is not handled by a more specific resource. java.lang.Throwable:\ Error: {1}: {0}\n\t\ Error occurred at line {3} of file "{2}"\n\t{4,time,long} {4,date,long}
With a resource bundle like this, ConvertEncoding produces error messages like the following:
Error: File "myfile (No such file or directory)" not found Error occurred at line 64 of file "FileInputStream.java" at 7/9/00 9:28 PM
Or, if the current locale is fr_FR:
Error: File "myfile (Aucun fichier ou repertoire de ce type)" not found Error occurred at line 64 of file "FileInputStream.java" at 09/07/00 21:28

Author Notes: Gravlax is a traditional Swedish method for curing raw salmon with salt and sugar, originally for preservation, with the added benefit of infusing the fish with bright, herbal flavors. The process takes 2-3 days, but don't let the recipe intimidate you – the steps are simple and most of the effort goes into knife work for removing the skin and slicing the fish. Be patient with yourself and use a freshly sharpened knife.
I selected wild sockeye salmon for this recipe, but you could also use king salmon. Talk with your fishmonger about options and seek out sustainable salmon.
Many gravlax recipes can be found; some flavor the salmon with spices like juniper, while others add heat with horseradish. My version is adapted from the techniques I learned reading Kitchen of Light: The New Scandinavian Cooking, by Andreas Viestad. For this recipe, I chose to keep it simple, flavoring the fresh salmon fillets only with salt, sugar, dill, and aquavit. The idea is to let the salmon be the star of the show. Aquavit is a Scandinavian spirit infused with the flavor of caraway, lemon peel, fennel, and aniseed. It lends a fresh, spiced note to the cured salmon, but you can substitute gin or leave it out all together.
Making your own gravlax rather than buying it in the store lets you control the ingredients, and the resulting flavor. In Kitchen of Light, Andreas Viestad writes, "There is an intrinsic generosity to making gravlax…In Scandinavia it is customary to invite guests to share it, or to give away some of it to your friends and neighbors." I suggest serving it as part of a brunch spread with good rye bread and mustard sauce. You'll be proud of your newfound skills in curing fish, and celebrate the accomplishment by sharing a meal with friends and family.
—la domestique
Makes: 2 salmon fillets
Prep time: 72 hrs
1-pound salmon fillets, skin on
tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2
tablespoons sugar
tablespoons chopped fresh dill
tablespoons aquavit
- Prepare the salmon fillets by using tweezers to remove the pin bones. These small, thin, spiky bones can be felt by running your fingers along the top of the fish. Pinch the end of a pin bone with the tweezers, push down gently on the flesh with your other hand, and pull the pin bone straight out. You may find as many as 20 pin bones in each fish fillet, but don't be daunted by the task, it only takes a few minutes.
- Place the salmon fillets skin side down in a non-reactive container (ceramic or a baking sheet lined in plastic wrap) with high sides to keep any juices released during curing from spilling from the container.
- Apply the cure. Stir together the salt and sugar, then rub the mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Sprinkle the chopped dill over the salmon, and pour 1 tablespoon aquavit over each fillet.
- Place one of the salmon fillets skin side up on top of the other fillet. The salmon fillets will be touching flesh to flesh, each with the skin on the outside. Cover the stacked salmon fillets with plastic wrap and place a heavy weight atop the fish. A plate or baking tray weighed down with bags of flour works well. Put the salmon in the refrigerator to cure for 2 to 3 days, turning the fish every twelve hours. The gravlax is finished curing when it feels firm to the touch at the thickest part of the fillet.
- Once the salmon has cured, gently wipe the cure off the top of the fillets. Use a long, narrow, flexible, sharp knife to remove the skin from each fillet. With the salmon skin side down, grab the tail end, pinching it with your thumb and fingers. If the skin is slippery, use a paper towel to grip it. Use the knife to slice between the skin and flesh. Keep the knife at an angle, pointed down towards the skin, and use a rocking motion to slice under the length of the fillet and remove the skin. Take your time and be patient, as removing skin from a fish fillet is delicate work, a skill that gets better with practice. Once the skin is removed, flip the fillet over and trim off any pieces of skin still left on the fish. After the skin is removed from both fillets, store them in the fridge, well wrapped, where they will keep for at least a week.
- To serve, slice the salmon as thinly as possible by using a sharp knife to shave off pieces, cutting towards the tail end. Wrap any unused salmon and return it to the fridge. Traditionally, gravlax is served with mustard-dill sauce and rye bread. It's also delicious tossed in with boiled potatoes and dressed with a lemon vinaigrette, or atop a bagel with cream cheese and chives.

Marlana Dunn
Marlana Dunn, a 2007 graduate of Point Park University's musical theatre and jazz concentration program, is performing in Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret's production of Ruthless! The Musical, at the Cabaret at Theater Square through May 6.
Dunn says the conservatory program taught her to be a well-rounded performer, adding that over her four years of study she was able to identify her strengths and weaknesses which have prepared her to execute her work well in a rehearsal process and performance.
"I feel very well prepared for what I might encounter in the professional world," said Dunn. "Broadway is now, more than ever, the place where triple threats rein. You must be able to dance."
In addition to Dunn, the musical also features Point Park theatre alumnae Courtney Bassett ('11), Kristiann Menotiades ('03), Kara Mikula ('05), as well as Assistant Professor Kiesha Lalama as choreographer.
Dunn credits much of her successful professional career to her training with Professor Lalama at Point Park, "She expected a lot out of us as students and prepared us for the world we were entering; always treating us as professionals when working on a show."
This is Dunn's third show with the CLO Cabaret. In previous roles she played Patsy Cline in Always…Patsy Cline, Cindy Lou in The Marvelous Wonderettes and now as Judy/Ginger in Ruthless!
The performance runs through May 6 at the CLO Cabaret. Tickets can be purchased online at www.pittsburghclo.org.

MIAMI (AP) — Gaby Moreno steps onto the stage of the dark Miami club, cradling her guitar. Glasses clink. Voices ricochet across the walls. The diminutive singer with a mop of dark curls opens her mouth, channeling Etta James, Edith Piaf and Dolly Parton — all in Spanish.
The glasses and voices fall silent.
The Guatemalan native's eclectic mix of sounds has captivated more than people in intimate venues. She's won a strong, devoted following in the United States and has had a taste of mainstream success with the instrumental theme of the NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation," which she co-wrote.
Moreno is among a small but growing number of alternative musicians and rockers who sing mostly in Spanish but are gaining a diverse fan base across the United States.
These artists barely get play on commercial Spanish radio stations, dominated by hip-hop, salsa, regional Mexican music and by pop stars like Alejandro Sanz. Yet they are attracting new listeners through social media, public radio shows, cable TV and festivals.
Tomas Cookman, president of the independent label Nacional Records, likens the Latin alternative movement in the United States to new wave before the bands Blondie and The Cars made it on to the airwaves.
"There's a major explosion of creativity, not just from music in Latin America but from musicians who happen to be Latino in the U.S.," he said. "We are definitely still in the early stages."
Moreno, who also sings in English, said big labels didn't know what do with her — a problem for many Latin alternative artists.
"Every label wanted to turn me into something else," she said.
In 2008, she finally released an album on her own, incorporating her first love, the blues.
"I just found the passion for it and never felt like, 'Oh I'm Latin and shouldn't be doing it,"' she said. "I'm just an artist doing blues" — albeit one who often sings en espanol and mixes Latin beats.
"Gaby definitely represents that new model of the relationship between Latin America and the U.S. The spirit is very Latin, but the career really got jump started in the U.S," said Ernesto Lechner, music critic and author of "Rock en Espanol: The Latin Alternative Rock Explosion." Lechner also co-hosts the nationally syndicated radio program, "The Latin Alternative."
Spanish rock and alternative groups hit a golden period in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the likes of Mexico's Café Tacuba and Colombia's Aterciopelados blended European and U.S. rock with their own countries' native beats. Yet the genre came of age just as hip-hop overtook rock in the United States, and as the major record labels were struggling to stay afloat with the explosion of online music and were increasingly risk adverse to untested sounds. The movement never took off the way some had hoped.
Now, alternative Latin musicians, some of whom have fan bases back home, are finding new audiences in the United States thanks in part to that online scene and the growth of second generation Latino audiences.
Lechner's radio show, which features artists like Uruguay's Juan Campodonico and Mexico's Natalia Lafourcade, launched in 2009 out of a local Albany, N.Y., public radio station. It's now broadcast by more than 30 stations across the country. Lechner and co-host Josh Norek take pains to provide context for listeners who may not speak Spanish or know much about Latin America.
In 2010, NPR also created an online podcast of Latin alternative music, and Pandora, the internet radio site that matches music to users' tastes, is expanding its Latin alternative library.
Cookman and Norek, also a Nacional executive, launched the Latin Alternative Music Conference in 2000 in New York to shine a light on these artists; this year it will be in July.
Based on the conference's success, they founded their label in 2004, mixing more established artists like Aterciopelados' Andrea Echeverri and Chilean-French rapper Anita Tijoux, with newer finds like the Venezuela's indie punk band La Vida Boheme.
Nacional also has homegrown acts like Diego Garcia, who grew up in Florida but whose parents are from Argentina. Garcia sings mostly in English and is popular in the adult alternative scene.
"For anyone looking for more — or who has inkling that there's more in terms of Latin music out there — I almost look at it as my mission to help them find it," Cookman said.
Cookman now spreads his gospel to a wider audience through shows on MTV's bilingual channel TR3s and on Sirius XM Radio, in a program distributed by National Latino Broadcasting. And Nacional partnered with Starbucks to release a Latin alternative music CD; it debuted at the top of Billboard's Latin Pop and World music charts this week.
Marc Zimet, MTV Tr3s' vice president of music and talent, says these artists are finding fan bases through new media and the old-school way through festivals like South by Southwest Music.
"They are having success there," he said. "It's really exciting, all the different genres of Latin music that are being created and trying to find a home."
Moreno is set to release her latest album "Postales" in September on the new independent label of veteran pop star Guatemalan Ricardo Arjona.
Asked how to describe the album, she laughed. As usual, it's hard to characterize.
"It's an eclectic mix," she said, "a spaghetti western, a soul number, blues, ragtime jazz."

Goal! But No Celebration
Celebrating a goal has become its own branch of performance art on the soccer pitch. But why are some athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin Van Persie cutting down on high jinks? WSJ's Joshua Robinson explains this change. Photo: Getty Images

A winner was selected from 81 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Tell the Truth and Sell
Tell the Truth and Sell is the name of a website/blog that features podcasts and articles and is also the title of a yet to be published book ( that the blog is promoting). The tagline for tell the truth and sell is "integrity based selling strategies."
I am looking for a custom header for my wordpress blog. I use the thesis theme and the requirement is 962 pixels.
I prefer cleaner headers than busy ones and this banner should convey a classic and business-y seriousness. Nothing modern or hip - but the authors are both known for their dynamic and humorous presentations (in podcast and in print).
The best possible header would have some element of a logo that could be used as a favicon.
Another theme here is that "business/selling doens't have to be boring, robotic, or offensive."

Galette Sarrazin Recipes
French Buckwheat Crepe Recipe (Galette de Sarrasin ou Galette de Ble Noir)
Galettes de sarrasin, also known as galettes de blé noir, are savory crêpes made from buckwheat flour. They're also called crêpes bretonnes (Breton-style) as the dish originated in Brittany, France. The lacy crêpes are made in a very similar manner to sweet crêpes, but the difference is that buckwheat crêpes are cooked only one one side.
Originally, the "true" galettes were supposed to be served plain with salted butter, but these days, they're usually garnished with charcuterie meat, smoked fish, cheese or vegetables. The most popular version is called La complète which is composed of ham, emmenthal cheese and a cracked egg cooked directly on top of the galette. Another common one, La soubise, is filled with caramelized onions and salted butter. I filled mine with sautéed button mushrooms, red bell peppers and raclette cheese.
If you're only familiar with sweet crêpes, it's definitely worth giving these buckwheat crêpes a try. C'est absolument délicieux!

You said that mismatches cause duty cycle distortion. I don't understand
the causal relationship. My reasoning goes as follows:
Mismatches and reflections occur in transmission channels which are linear
time invariant. A property of linear systems is no additional frequency
components are created (intermodulation does not occur). For example, if a
perfect square wave goes through a linear channel, only odd order harmonics
go in and come out. Now duty cycle distortion implies even order harmonics
are produced by a transmission channel with a perfect square wave
input. But this is a contradiction since mismatches are a linear process
which do not produce additional frequency components.
The linear transmission channel affects positive and negative edges the
same. These channels are characterized by an impulse response.
That what it looks like to me. What do you think?

I just uploaded some clusters, which are new to both me and the site. As I was uploading them I started to question the shadowing I used. Obviously I have to shadow the elements in the cluster, but should I clip off the shadow around the outside so people can use their own shadows or leave it in? Right now the ones that are uploaded are fully shadowed.
Cluster Shadows - Opinions
I keep mine full shadowed So i don't mind you keeping it
I always stay away from pre-shadowed clusters, because I want all my shadows on my layouts to be the same and it takes me to much time trying to 'guess' what sort of shadow the designer added... So for my 'needs' you would need to cut of the outside shadows. Lots of designers offers them shadowed and not-shadowed byt he way (I always chuck away the shadowed ones )
That's what I've seen too - they offer a shadowed & non-shadowed version.
Maybe tomorrow I'll post them without shadows and see how it goes...
Marisa, I use a set of QC actions by Andrea Gold that includes a shadow remover. It's great because you can have shadows on the inside edges of each clustered element and scrappers can shadow the cluster any way they want.
Yeah, I can easily clip out the outside shadows, I just didn't know if it was weird to then add your own shadow to the "inside" shadows since some of the clusters have a lot of shadow showing. I'll try some without shadows and you can let me know how it goes.
Ok, I have both options available for download now. So we'll see what people really like!

Boat Named 'Titanic II' Sinks on First Trip to Sea
Though the name Titanic has a bad reputation in the shipping world, boat owner Mark Wilkinson decided to test fate and name his own ship after the massive vessel anyway. Unfortunately for Wilkinson, fate won and Titanic II sunk on its maiden voyage.
The Birmingham, UK resident was left clinging to the side of the boat as it sunk under the water until the harbor master rescued him. The 40-year-old has since had to endure a non-ending stream of Titanic jokes.
Titanic II sunk due to a 6-inch hole -- not caused by an iceberg -- in the hull.
Sad news all around, though we're guessing it probably wasn't as sad as that other thing named 'Titanic II.'

Healing from the Source
This eBook is available from the following online stores
Amazon eBook DownloadBefore you go, sign up to receive news & promotions from Shambhala.com
DetailsIn this remarkable contemporary presentation of the theory and practice of Tibetan medicine, Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, twenty years the personal physician of H. H. the Dalai Lama, draws from over fifty years of practicing and teaching this ancient tradition of healing. This volume vividly presents a series of lectures Dr. Dhonden gave before a group of health care professionals at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. This lecture series was presented during the planning stages of a research project at the University of California San Francisco to test Dr. Dhonden's medical treatment for metastatic breast cancer. (This research project caught the interest of NBC's Dateline, which filmed an hour-long documentary of it that aired in January 2000.) Dr. Dhonden elucidates the holistic Tibetan medical view of health and disease, referring to traditional Tibetan medical sources as well as his own experiences as a doctor practicing in Tibet India and numerous countries throughout Europe and America. His presentation is delightfully complemented by many anecdotes drawing from the ancient lore of popular folk medicine in Tibet. For health care professionals, anthropologists, historians of medicine, medical ethicists, and the general public interested in Tibetan medicine, this book is a fascinating contribution by one of the foremost practitioners of Tibetan medicine in the modern world.News & Reviews
"I am very happy to learn about the publication of Dr. Yeshi Dhonden's book on Tibetan medicine—Dr. Dhonden is one of the most experienced practitioners of this system." —H.H. the Dalai Lama
"For anyone interested in Tibetan medicine specifically and naturopathic healing in general, Healing from the Source is an impressive and precious record of the treatment system he has successfully applied over many years and includes his own story and experience as a physician." —Georg Feuerstein, PhD, author of The Deeper Dimension of Yoga
"An interesting collection of writings on Tibetan medical information we can all learn from, which focuses on the health and healing of the human condition unlike Western medical technology, which treats the diagnosis and often depersonalizes the patient." —Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles

Rogers has earned themselves some angst from potential customers who want to pick up the new Nokia Lumia 920. Between making unofficial/official announcements of selling the device (even boldly proclaiming to be the "first" like a child on the internet), they so far have failed to deliver. Stock is barely existent and when it can be found, customers get one choice of color: matte black. That's especially bad since we all know the 920 comes in many more options.
Peeking at Nokia's servers though through the Navifirm software tells another story: Rogers may be getting yellow too. It's common practice for Nokia to have slightly different firmware for various colors, even though at their core they are the same package. For instance, the AT&T version of the firmware (1242.1001) has all five colors listed correctly and it would seem to be the same for Rogers (1242.1002).
The next obvious question though is when?
Seeing as Rogers has yet to announce anything we're betting the hold up here is Nokia who seem to have some trouble getting those much-coveted yellow versions to customers. Those on AT&T know this as many have yet to receive their early pre-orders of the color, though we are now getting word that some are actually starting to ship. That means supply is very tight and most likely will be until Nokia can appropriately ramp up production in the coming weeks.
When that happens, we bet we'll see Rogers announce this as an option.

Anger as Samoa-Pago flights grounded
It has been three days since a Polynesian Airline plane left the Fagali'i Airport for PagoPago and the delay is frustrating hundreds of passengers who are running out of patience.Polynesian Airline Chief Executive Officer, Taua Fatu Tielu told the Samoa Observer they had to stop flights to PagoPago on Tuesday because there was a problem in one of the plane's engines.He said the engine is needed to be "carefully inspected and tested several times" before it can take off. Their second plane cannot be used because it is being repainted.Taua could not confirm when flights to PagoPago will resume. He, however, apologised for any inconvenience this might have caused and he hopes the flights will return soon.Polynesian Airlines, however, is not the only airline experiencing difficulties.For the past two weeks, Inter-island Airways has also stopped flying between Samoa and American Samoa. While an official comment from the airline could not be obtained at press time, a source within airline told the Samoa Observer that their aircraft is undergoing maintenance.When the Samoa Observer visitedFagali'iat around 2pm yesterday, there were elderly people and children still waiting for an announcement from Polynesian Airlines.More than fifty people have been waiting at the airport since 6 o'clock yesterday morning.Some people came as far as Savai'i and were supposed to leave on Tuesday.Others had work commitments to attend.Some were scheduled to participate in a church conference being held in American Samoa.Afoa Tupa'i Pe'a, of Lalomalava Savai'i was one of those unhappy people. Accompanied by six other family members including an eight-month-old baby, the father was very disappointed.Afoa told the Samoa Observer they were scheduled to leave on Wednesday. Sothey caught the 6amferry from Savai'i and they have been stuck at Fagali'i for two days."We were told to wait and wait and wait," he said. "The least they could've done is explain to us what is happening…we waited overnight and again this morning (8th November 2012).

China's currency made it first gains against the dollar Monday because, for the first time in nearly two years, it will no longer be pegged to the greenback.
The appreciation in the Chinese yuan drew cautious optimism from US officials and cheered American manufacturers, who now will be more price-competitive with Chinese factories.
Less visible but equally important, the currency move addresses a glaring long-term weakness in China.
For years, critics of the Chinese economy have pointed out that it is too dependent on exports and government infrastructure spending. The lack of a strong consumer base was China's Achilles' heel, they said. By letting the yuan strengthen and, thus, putting more value in the hands of Chinese consumers, the government is beginning to develop that base, which will help stabilize China and insulate it from the ups and downs of international trade.
This shift is a long-term process, however. The recent global recession illustrates how vulnerable China's economy continues to be. As foreign orders for China's products evaporated, and lacking a strong domestic market to take up any of the slack, China's factories were forced to reduce staff levels and cut production.
How did China's leaders react? Why, in the same manner as other governments around the world – they threw money at the problem. Initially, China committed to spend $586 billion by the end of 2010 to keep the economy moving. However, when accounting for the total amounts injected into the economy through direct infrastructure spending, as well as liquidity made available to the banking system, the actual amount has almost doubled.
Not only did China pour in more government money than America's $787 billion stimulus package, it invested it in an economy that is less than two-fifths the size of the US economy.
Of course, it's hard to argue against success, and the latest growth figures from China indicate that the economy continued to expand in April at an annualized rate exceeding 12 percent. Property values also increased again in April – this time by a record 12.8 percent compared to April 2009. This reality has forced the government to admit that speculation is verging on the hysterical.
Recognizing the potential for disaster should the property bubble burst, Chinese authorities have implemented several changes in an attempt to cool the market.
But China's critics are not asking if China's market is hot. They wonder why it's hot?
In other words, how much of China's reported growth is "real", and how much can be traced to government spending? If government largesse is indeed responsible for most of China's growth, then the prospects of China leading the way to a global recovery, as so many are counting upon, could be misguided.
Rather than begin to reduce its stimulus as other nations are now contemplating, China appears to be expanding it. The development of new roadways and massive transportation projects continue at a breakneck pace.
A June 7 article in the Financial Times highlights some of these massive undertakings, the largest of which is a plan to build nearly 30,000 miles of new railway lines by 2020. The price tag for this project alone is expected to exceed half a trillion dollars.
This begs the question: Why, if the economy is indeed growing as advertised, does the government find it necessary to continue to spend so heavily?
The answer is as basic as it gets. China is forced to increase spending in an attempt to bridge the gap arising from declining export sales, says Yu Yongding, economics professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and former adviser to the Bank of China.
"China's investment-driven and export-led growth pattern is not sustainable," Professor Yu told a meeting of Australian officials in Melbourne last November. As a former insider, privy to information not readily or freely available to the public, he points to government infrastructure spending, which consistently totals about 50 percent of the country's gross domestic product, as evidence of a fiscal policy that cannot continue indefinitely.
Before the recession, demand for China's exports increased year after year, and this helped camouflage the nation's fundamental shortcomings.
China's announcement this week that it will end its practice of fixing, or "pegging," the yuan to the US dollar, sends a clear signal that China recognizes the importance of its own domestic market.
The yuan will almost certainly appreciate in value, which means China's exports will cost more for foreign customers. This will likely result in weaker international sales for goods produced in China. However, consumer buying power for Chinese consumers will actually strengthen, and should boost demand for consumer goods in what is easily the largest, yet mostly untapped, consumer market on the planet.
This could be exactly what is needed to address the concerns of China's critics. But it's a long-term move. While the yuan will no longer move in lock-step with the dollar, it will still be closely tied to a "basket" of currencies, weighted heavily with the dollar and the euro.
China's rebalancing will take years.

Philippines says rebel standoff is over
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A deadly three-week standoff between government troops and Muslim rebels who held nearly 200 people hostage in the southern Philippines has ended with all of the captives safe, officials said Saturday.
Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said only a handful of Moro National Liberation Front rebels remained in hiding and were being hunted by troops in the coastal outskirts of Zamboanga city, adding authorities were trying to determine if rebel commander Habier Malik, who led the Sept. 9 siege, was dead.More than 200 people were killed in the clashes, including 183 rebels and 23 soldiers and police, in one of the bloodiest and longest-running attacks by a Muslim group in the south, scene of decades-long Muslim rebellion for self-rule in the largely Roman Catholic country.
"I can say that the crisis is over. We have accomplished the mission," Gazmin told The Associated Press by telephone from Zamboanga, where he helped oversee a government offensive and hostage rescue mission by about 4,500 government troops and police.
Gazmin said 195 hostages were rescued, escaped or were freed.
The gunbattles, including exchanges of grenade and mortar fire, forced about 130,000 residents — more than 10 percent of the population of the bustling port city — to flee their homes to emergency shelters, including Zamboanga's main sports complex. About 10,000 houses were burned by the rebels or destroyed in the fighting, according to a military report.
Cornered by a far larger number of government troops, the rebels sought help from their comrades from nearby provinces but guerrilla reinforcements were repulsed, he said.
Police and troops still have to clear areas of the dangerous leftovers of the fighting, including unexploded bombs and possible booby traps, Gazmin said.
Gazmin, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas and military chief of staff Gen. Emmanuel Bautista briefly toured the scene of the most intense gunbattles Saturday in Zamboanga's Santa Catalina community, where nearly 100 rebels perished in clashes and now was a wasteland. Army soldiers, who have been collecting bodies of guerrillas in Santa Catalina had to wear gas masks because of the stench of death.
All the houses in the vast community were either burned by the rebels in daily infernos or damaged by gunfire and mortar blasts. Atop a bullet-peppered building, troops raised a Philippine flag at half-staff.
"The rebel siege is over and Zamboanga is free again," Roxas told reporters.
The siege in Zamboanga, about 860 kilometers (540 miles) south of Manila, began when heavily armed insurgents arrived by boat from outlying islands but were blocked by troops and policemen, who discovered what authorities said was a rebel plan to occupy and hoist their flag at Zamboanga's city hall. The rebels then stormed five coastal communities and took residents hostage and were surrounded by troops.
President Benigno Aquino III, who flew to Zamboanga, ordered an offensive that began on Sept. 13 after the rebels refused to surrender and free their hostages.
The rebel faction involved in the fighting dropped its demand for a separate Muslim state and signed an autonomy deal with the government in 1996, but the guerrillas did not lay down their arms and later accused the government of reneging on a promise to develop long-neglected Muslim regions.
