|COP21: What the CAP does for the climate
Agriculture is highly exposed to climate change, as farming activities directly depend on climatic conditions.
Agriculture also contributes to climate change through the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
However, agriculture can also contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and by sequestering carbon while maintaining food production.
If you are looking for concise answers to the following questions:
- How does farming influence climate change?
- How will farming in the EU be affected by climate change?
- How can farms reduce emissions now?
- How can farming adapt to the changed climate?
please read the fact-sheet "EU agriculture and climate change"

Former Top Judge hits back at current Top Judge
17 February 2012
Sir Stephen Sedley, until last year of the Court of Appeal, has launched a stinging rebuttal to the speech of Lord Sumption (Jonathan Sumption QC as was) in which the soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice rebuked the judiciary for failing to stay out of the political arena.
This blog covered Lord Sumption's speech here. Sir Stephen's response in the London Review of Books takes issue with Lord Sumption's assertion of excessive judicial interference in political matters, with the words:
there is a repeated insinuation that judicial interference in the political process regularly occurs: 'The judicial resolution of inherently political issues is difficult to defend.' It is not only difficult to defend; it does not happen.

Software products based on NetBSD
Apple's Darwin
NetBSD is used by Apple for a large portion of the user-space commands and tools in their Darwin project, and Darwin is the UNIX-based core used by Mac OS X. NetBSD source tends to pay attention to issues of portability and correctness, and is virtually all BSD licenced, which avoids commercial problems with the GNU General Public Licence. At least one of the Apple developers has access to the NetBSD source tree and has fed back some useful changes.
arcapos® point-of-sale systems and infokiosk terminals
arcapos point-of-sale terminals are known for their excellent user friendlyness and extreme robustness. The (commercial) arcapos applications (point-of-sale, infokiosks) are 100 percent made in Switzerland. NetBSD is not only used as the operating system of choice for arcapos, but also has been extended by the arcapos team to be the best open-source platform available for point-of-sale and related applications.
Castle Technology Ltd: USB software and Network stack
According to this report, Castle Technology Ltd uses TCP/IP and USB kernel subsystems from NetBSD as a base for their RISC OS.
CentreCOM WR54-ID

Ghost for Unix (g4u)
g4u is a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM that allows easy cloning of PC harddisks to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs using FTP. The floppy/CD offers two functions. First is to upload the compressed image of a local harddisk to a FTP server. Other is to restore that image via FTP, uncompress it and write it back to disk; network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the harddisk is processed as a image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed using g4u. See the g4u homepage for more information.
NetBSD/i386 firewall project
The NetBSD/i386 Firewall projects aims to provide a free firewall solution for people with a permanent Internet connection. This includes most users of cable or ADSL services, but also businesses with leased lines.
NetBSD Live! CD
The NetBSD Live! CD was originally developed by Jörg Braun, and allowed to boot NetBSD 1.5.2/i386 from CDROM, some system config, selection of X config, then allows starting one of several window managers, e.g. KDE. Under KDE, Koffice is ready to run.
Since then, NetBSD based Live CDs have been used in many different
environments. They can easily be created using the
sysutils/mklivecd package.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China took a further step on Tuesday toward ending its dependence on U.S. satellites to provide navigation and positioning services with the start of trial operations of its homegrown Beidou system.
China started a drive to end its reliance on the U.S. global positioning system in 2000, when it sent an experimental pair of positioning satellites into orbit.
Ran Chengqi, spokesman for the new system, told reporters that Beidou, or "Big Dipper," would cover most parts of the Asia Pacific by next year and then the world by 2020.
China has already launched 10 satellites to support Beidou and would launch another six next year, he said.
State media have said the system will eventually comprise 35 satellites, which will be used for a variety of sectors including fisheries, meteorology and telecommunications.
China has ambitious plans for space, including a space station and a manned trip to the moon.
While China has vowed never to militarize space, experts say it is ramping up the military use of space with new satellites.
The successful missile "kill" of an old satellite in early 2007 represented a new level of ability for the Chinese military, and last year China successfully tested emerging technology aimed at destroying missiles in mid-air.

Sylvan Post
Time Out says
With retro and recycling being the flavours of the moment, how very on-trend of the Antic pub company to convert a former 1960s post office into their latest bar. Interesting spaces abound in this building, with back offices converted into a variety of kitsch snugs – my favourite being the one with the metal strong room door (presumably where bags of cash were stashed for paying out pensions and benefits).
The main room has a European-beer-hall-meets-working-man's-club vibe: cosy, low-lit banquette nooks to the side, while centre stage it's all cheap formica tables and industrial-strength lino. A generous wooden bar emulates the original post office counter – albeit without the attack-resistant payment windows.
A lively and mixed clientele seemed to be enjoying the great ska/indie soundtrack and excellent beers, from the likes of Meantime and Moor Beer Company. Sadly, the wine was uninspiring, and the food the wrong kind of retro: think school dinners circa 1970, that is, all lumpy mash, watery soup and chewy calf's liver. The offer was marginally boosted by a half-decent burger and a surprisingly good pear and peach crumble, but we'd say this bar's strictly for the beer drinkers.

The TimeOut review is massively outdated - the Sylvian now offers a delicious, varied menu as well as great wines and cocktails. The staff are always friendly, polite and welcoming and their Pub Quiz is without question the happiest way to spend a Tuesday evening. Awesome place!
I love the uniqueness of this pub!
I love the Pub Quiz on a Tues. I take pride in coming LAST.
Fairly priced drinks, quirky atmosphere, decor and layout of the rooms. I particularly enjoy the board games!
The best roast in London! Great beers! Great quiz! What more do you need?!
Great beer lovely atmosphere and kids are fine in there
Beautiful pub for a cosy Sunday roast
Fantastic staff and a great atmosphere!
Amazing place, amazing staff
This is a brilliant conversion of an old post office that keeps enough of the old touches (you can have a beer in a safe!) to give it character but is still a proper bar. The staff are great, there's always good beer on, including a decent beer for under £4 and the food's not bad. It's not just the best pub in Forest Hill, it's probably the best pub in South East London.
I haven't ever eaten at the Sylvan Post, but I have drunk and been to their lively quiz night. My experience was absolutely great. I love the decor - an old post office changed very little but with added bar, it's delightfully quirky - you can even sit in the safe! The decor is pretty much the main thing that makes it special, other than that the local beers are nice and the staff friendly. But it's a really popular place and big enough to be able to find a place to sit on most nights. I'd really recommend The Sylvan place as an excellent pub. I have no idea about the food though. the pub quiz was really hard and very competitive!
Love it. Good food, beer and people. Lively with delicious beers.
As most commenters have previously mentioned - a bizarre Time Out review - like giving a Michelin starred restaurant a one star review because it doesn't have any ale on tap. This is a pub/bar, not a restaurant. The beer is really good and its a brilliant place to spend some time in. (And the food is actually pretty good)
Yeah its pretty good. nice vibe
I'm simply perplexed by this review. I've eaten there twice and the food's been top-notch, but even leaving that aside, the place is being reviewed as if it's a restaurant or wine-bar when it's clearly a pub. Maybe Time Out should consider employing a pub reviewer who knows, likes and understands pubs, their conventions and logic, rather than one who would clearly rather be elsewhere. The beer selection's interesting (regulars from Redemption, Tiny Rebel and Moor) and well-kept, prices are reasonable as far as London goes, and the decor and atmosphere are absolutely unique: it is that rarest of beasts, a modern pub with real character and atmosphere, and if it were in North or East London the press would be fawning over it. If only it could sort the music out: a combination of landfill indie and American chart-pop of five years ago. At least it's never loud.
How wrong can so many people be? The Sylvan Post is a great local, something Forest Hill has been searching for for years. Excellent food (I've eaten there too many times to count on my hands now) and a great vibe. Sundays you can get a range of roasts, bring your children and your dog (as they're also dog friendly) and a get pint of real ale from some fantastic local breweries, a great family day. Friday and saturday nights are party nights, always packed. What's even nicer is the bar staff actually know what they're talking about, are very friendly and after just two visits they even remembered my name! Please Time Out, re-review the Sylvan Post!!!
Terrible place
Sadly found the service very disappointing. Busy Friday night and only one working the bar occasionally help by the waiting staff. Really seemed to be a free-for-all to get served with everyone clambering "I was next!". Food was acceptable (but really? 50p for gherkin on your burger?) Think I will stick to the more traditional pub and not this establishment, the kind of place where bar staff can remember who has been at the bar more than two minutes and where everyone doesn't need to pay individually on a credit/debit card.
That review from Time Out is extremely harsh, and it's worth noting that the Sylvan Post's menu has changed recently. The burger is up there with the best pub burgers i've ever had and the chips are fab...i don't know why they said it was mediocre. My girlfriend had a fish pie which was quite simply splendid, and we're food snobs! The whole place has a great vibe, and although, yes, it is very trendy it is not uncomfortable in the slightest. Somehow the quirkiness works perfectly...it really is a lovely place for a drink or food anytime, and i love the way they've integrated all the old post office things...it was an actual post office before. The ales are brill, and they always seem to have a dark ale and decent cider on tap...thank the lord! I can never understand why pubs don't have a decent variety of booze. The Sylvan's range is excellent. I'm a Forest Hill resident and this is most definitely my new local pub, it is wonderful...keep up the good work, and Time Out re-review please!
The food is really good at the Sylvan, I think the reviewer must have been unlucky that day. As other reviewers have said, the service is incredibly friendly, there is always a great range of real ale and personally I find the wine list pretty good! On top of that they are dog friendly and there is a really relaxed vibe, it's the opposite of those bars where you feel you're about to be told off for something all the time! They've got it just right.
It seems odd to acknowledge the quality of the beer (surely one of the principal selling points of a pub) then award the place only two stars. The Sylvan Post plays host to a range of interesting and well kept beer often from small breweries and is worth a visit for that reason alone. The interior is also very pleasant (especially the back room) and the atmosphere convivial.
This review is an absolute joke. The place is easily worth 4 stars - good drinks selection, great atmosphere, fun decor and all set to decent tunes. Also, to say that the food is bad is frankly bizarre as it has always been tasty and well put together.
Also think this review is harsh. Went last night to try it out and love love love the place! What a fantastic addition to the area. The food was actually really good - not standard pub stodge - think fresh interesting main salads. Have to say the baked avocado was disappointing for £5.50, but all in all - great decor, great vibe, great music and the wine is GOOD! Recommended if you're in the area.
As a resident of Forest Hill have to say how great it is to have the Sylvan Post here! I find the review above a little harsh as I have always had excellent food. The Sunday roast is excellent value and very tasty! The Sylvan Burger is first class and coupled with a great friendly atmosphere I would say definitely worth a visit!
Love this place. Non pretentious, great atmosphere and quirky furnishings. Time Out have it all wrong. I have the odd Sunday lunch there and the food it's great but mainly go there as it's the best pub in Forest Hill. Great Ales, very friendly staff, fantastic environment, thank you Sylvan Post.
Sadly the review from Timeout is pretty pathetic. Yes the clientele love the place, you are right, for the drinks but also the staff, the service and the food. The atmosphere on a friday is so much more welcoming than any pub outside of Timeout's favoured grounds of Zone 1-2. Everyone who goes there is local which means you get to bump into interesting local people week after week. So the food, the main criticism. Well, I have had two meals there and both times the food has been good. Certainly more 3-4 stars than 2. It has interesting variety with the dipped beef sandwich for example - although that should come with a heartattack warning. It goes way beyond most pub food and certainly beats the Dartmouth arms in this case. C'mon Timeout, perhaps you need to get someone more local to go and visit and stop being so snobby. This is South-East London after all...
I don't understand this review by Veronica Simpson. The food here is delicious and reasonably priced, definitely a step up from usual pup fare. There's a really relaxed, friendly vibe, and the choice of drinks is excellent too - another London bar clocking on to the pleasures of Sagres lager! And they have a great selection of board games, candle-lit tables, good music, and lots of cozy nooks to settle down in. A great place to hang out, and we're really chuffed to have this place on our doorstep!
Review seems a bit harsh. The atmosphere is good, nice beers and the Sunday lunch we had was great. Definitely better than many we've had for the same price.
The sylvan post is a lively unique bar with lots of character witch will go from strength to strength,the food is awesome! and the ales are great. The review from veronica simpson (above) is total nonsense, absolute rubbish and needs to take her spectacles next time she goes in.
We found this place recently and were so happy! We love their other pubs that we've visited, such as Westow House in Crystal Palace and Jam Circus in Crofton Park, so when we stumbled upon the Sylvan post one rainy Saturday night we were collectively over the moon... admittedly the kitchen was closed so didn't try the food, but the setup, layout and general vibe was really great... Just waiting for them to open in Sydenham now and we'll have a new local :o)

Safety Chris Hope (shoulder) missed practice Thursday and his availability for Sunday's game is in serious doubt. His shoulder popped out last week against the Jaguars, Coach Mike Munchak said.
"He took a good shot on it, it popped in and out, and when that happens it's just a matter of getting it strong again so it won't happen again," Munchak said. "It's a confidence thing, too."
Hope has 49 straight starts. Jordan Babineaux would start in Hope's place.
Other injuries: Wide receiver Damian Williams (hamstring) and defensive end William Hayes (shoulder) did not practice.
Williams missed practice for the second straight day. Hayes was limited on Wednesday.
It appears defensive ends Derrick Morgan (knee) and Jason Jones (knee) will play on Sunday, which would help offset the potential loss of Hayes.
Working dad: Wide receiver Nate Washington witnessed the birth of his daughter and hustled to Baptist Sports Park for the end of practice.
Niyla Monae Washington was born at 1 p.m. on Thursday.
With bloodshot eyes, the proud papa said he hadn't slept since Wednesday morning.
"I am turning all the excitement and joy of today into extra motivation," Washington said.
Punches thrown: After some pushing and shoving, rookie linebacker Akeem Ayers and practice squad tight end Cameron Graham threw punches at each other on the practice field.
"The pushing and the shoving is fine, so no one hurts each other. Or when we pull it apart they stop, which they did. To me the problem is if we go too far with it," Munchak said. "We're OK."
Former Titan arrested: Former Titans linebacker Rennie Curran was arrested Monday in Atlanta on a simple battery charge. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Curran got into an argument with companion Natalie Quezada, 23. She was arrested on the same charge.

Saving the world
"Saving the world" is a certain sentiment ascribed as deriving from a certain disease. This disease has been used to explain a connection between altruism and "extreme egocentrism", and a variety of possible accompanying eccentricities. However, it is predicted that in the near future this disease will start evolving and physically changing people and eventually warping the whole of reality, and by doing so, effectively "save the world" from its current degenerate state.
The present disease and associated sentiments[edit]
Presently, the disease is associated with extremely self-centered behavior, and in certain cases this may express itself through excessive altruism. People who don't have this disease are said to suffer from the "Nobody cares" syndrome, since they generally don't care, they carry on living because they've been conditioned by society to do so, rather than to live a meaningful life.
The disease is caused by a provirus, a virus that has integrated itself into its host's genome. It has been shown that this provirus is unique to humans, and all humans carry it, though its genetic function is not active in all specimens. Extra numbers of copies of this provirus can amplify the effect of the disease and cause emotional instability and even insanity.
The urge to save the world originates from an inner need to form the center of existence, to serve the purpose of reality in order to justify one's own existence. Intellectual people who question their own purpose in life and thus alienate from their own personality, may find meaning by answering to the needs of others, ultimately leading them into the almost unattainable quest to save the world.
Cause of the evolution[edit]
Generally speaking, people who want to save the world tend be rather intelligent, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that humans are the main cause of their own misery. So if it were possible to change human beings into something better, why neglect the opportunity?
Be it God, or anyone of these smart individuals, one or the other will eventually take action into own hands and manipulate humankind to correspond to one's personal ideal, either because it is the right thing to do or because the person is a power-hungry control-freak. Humanity's fate is thus inevitably going to be planned ahead, and the fact that this will probably be done by some horny freak only ascertains that one of the main activities of future humans will consist of lesbian sex.
Viral evolution and spread of the disease[edit]
It is as of yet unknown how the evolution of the virus causing this disease will be instantiated, some say through genetic engineering, while others claim Intelligent Design is the actual driving force. Whatever may be the case, strong indications exist that while first affecting humans, the virus will start infecting other organisms, which will experience a rapid evolution towards humans. As the virus spreads and increases its range of effect, it will eventually start influencing reality and merge with the essence of existence. Through this metaphysical existence, the virus will reshape the world and create the ultimate paradise.
Effects on humans[edit]
As soon as the virus evolves and starts infecting people, the following symptoms will occur:
- You will develop a sex obsession even bigger than the one you have now.
- You will develop boobs, bigger and more beautiful than those things you have now.
- You will change into a young lesbian girl.
- You will develop brains, which are mainly lacking at the present.
- You will develop divine superpowers.
All social problems will be solved as there will only be perfect women. Everybody will be happy as they will all be having sex with each other. As the development of the virus progresses, there will also be a lot of furry and nymph sex.
When this virus will evolve[edit]
When there is a lot of chaos and destruction in the world, that's when this virus will evolve. So when you feel the end of the world is at hand, rejoice, for the world will soon be saved. So basically we don't know when it will happen, but in apocalyptic situations, the need to save the world would be maximized, thus making a world-saving scenario very probable.

Selecting a Cage Size
The best thing to do if your bird initially does not accept it's larger environment is to slowly wean it to accept it. Put the bird in the new birdcage for a couple hours a day, with the door open if possible, until it is no longer afraid of it's new surroundings. One way to know your bird is starting to accept it's new cage is it will start eating food more regularly as well as allow you to approach it without aggression in return. Once your bird is used to this larger enclosure in the long run it will be happier and less protective of it's surroundings, and therefore less likely to exhibit bad bird behaviors.
Of course, there is more to consider than "bigger is always better". There is a practical side to everything. You may have only so much space where you can put your bird cage or you may have budget limitations. Depending on the materials and type of cage you choose, there are many ways to best utilize your space for your dollar - especially with our inexpensive bird cage line - and at the same time have a safe, healthy habitat for your bird.
Bird Cage Materials
Stainless Steel Crimp Lock Wire
Stainless steel crimp lock wire is not seen very commonly among the various cage brands, almost exclusively to the Hybrid® aluminum framed cage line and Majestic® wood framed furniture style cage line. However, it is a superior material in our opinion to all the other materials available. The first reason, the wire used with they Hybrid® and Majestic® bird cage lines are made with high grade stainless steel that can not rust, chip, or have broken welds. There are no coatings that could have the potential of toxins in them as well as no welds that can potentially break. The reason this is not widely used in the cage industry is because it tends to be more expensive than powder coated metal – usually about 2x as much. Powder coating can be very practical if done properly (see below), however the only way to be 100% certain that your wire is not going to chip and rust is to make it out of high grade stainless steel. There is a BIG difference between high grade and low grade stainless steel. Low grade stainless steel has iron content in it, and WILL rust. If it is going to rust, there is no point in spending the extra money, you are better off getting powder coated plane steel. Also, the ONLY way to be 100% certain you will not have broken welds is to use a crimp lock weave that does not have welds at all. Welds leave a vulnerable spot that can be soft and tend to break and can some times leave burrs that can be sharp. They also leave burn marks that must be coated (usually powder coating) in order to have an aesthetic appeal. So, if you have a welded stainless cage, it won't rust but if not polished properly will have unsightly burn marks at the welds.
Powder Coated Wire
Powder coated wire, if done properly, can be very practical for you money. If not done right, it can be a disaster. If anyone is to tell you that there is a 100% chance their powder coated wire on their cage will not chip or rust they are not telling you the truth. The only way to be 100% certain your birdcage will not chip or rust is to buy high grade stainless, which can cost 2-4 times as much. Buying stainless is not practical, or even necessary for everyone. There is nothing wrong with buying a quality powder coated wholesale bird cage for budget or aesthetic reasons. Over 90% of outdoor steel applications (such as metal railings etc.) use powder coating because of the cost effective tradeoff. That being said, there are good ways to do powder coating and bad ways. The good way is to make sure you use a powder coater who understands how the adhesion works with the steel, and has the powder coating itself at the right composition. Certain compositions of steel will accept a powder coating much better than others, and some powder coating may have a high zinc content that can be dangerous to your pet and not have the proper UV additives. ANY powder coating will fade if it is exposed to direct sunlight long enough (although it should take many years), however if your powder coating does not have the proper UV protecting additive it will fade and turn color very quickly. All of the cages we sell, such as the Suncatcher ® product line have been powder coated to the highest standard to be safe for your pet.
Anodized Aluminum Frame
The Hybrid® and Majestic® cage lines are among the only in the industry to use aluminum frames for their bird cages. Anodized aluminum again is a bit more expensive than powder coating, but eliminates the possibility of rusting or chipping. The process of anodizing actually changes the chemical composition of the outer layer of the aluminum, meaning that the color is permanent and will not chip or rust. Aluminum also gives you a great strength to weight ratio making the very large bird cages easier to manage. The anodized aluminum interior of the Majestic® cage line allows us to guarantee the cages against chewing from the inside, even though the outside is made out of wood.
Acrylic is also used for many of the Hybrid® and Majestic® cages. Acrylic is light weight, easy to clean, and allows you to actually see your bird rather than making it look like it is in a jail cell. Glass can be a better option if you are really worried about scratching, but we have found that is not usually a problem and if it were to happen the panel can be easily replaced without replacing the entire cage. Also, inexpensive cleaners and polish can be purchased to give it a touch up a few times a year to make it look like new. Acrylic is about 10 times stronger than glass and much lighter. If glass were to break it is more dangerous, however glass is available as an option for any Hybrid® or Majestic® enclosure if you desire.

Dome Top Bird Cage vs Play Top Bird Cage
Other things to consider and look for in a bird cage:
Feeders - Many cheap bird cages come with built in feeders, witch all have their pros and cons. The patented Friendly Feeder® is a great option for any discount bird cage because it allows you to feed your bird witout having to enter the cage. This is a great option for bird owners who are worried about letting people take care of their bird when they are out of town because they might bite a stranger. The Friendly Feeder® also allows you to have multiple dishes in the cage without worrying about cross contamination, or the bird being able to waste in it's water. The rotating feeder is also a great option for your cheap bird cage, however lacks some of the features of the Friendly Feeder®. There is now a large friendly feeder which is great for larger birds such as Macaws, Cockatoos, Eclectus, and will fit in almost any discount birdcage, and now a new mini friendly feeder for smaller birds such as finches, parakeets, love birds, parrotlets quakers, cockatiels etc. Here is an example of a Friendly Feeder® in a parrot cage. See the Friendly Feeder® section for more about this great feeder system.
Access Doors - Access doors are a great way to get into any inexpensive bird cage with minimum vulnerability for the bird escaping. Just be sure that the latching mechanism is secure so the bird can not figure out how to open the door. The Friendly Feeder® hinged door is a great solution because it can be locked with a padlock.
Bird Cage Cover - Covers can be a great way to reduce stress for a bird and are available for most wholesale birdcages on this web site.
Liners - Disposable pull out tray liners are the single easiest way to reduce the time and effort involved with cleaning your cage. For a few cents per liner you can remove the waste on a daily basis. Liners are available for most cages on this web site.
Casters - Casters can make it very easy to move your enclosure around, just make sure they have the ability to be locked and that they come with the cage. Some of them may be sold separately.

This week we are attending the Collaboration & Interoperability Congress (CIC) 2012. CIC is a unique independent vendor/technology/product-neutral event that addresses collaboration and interoperability in manufacturing and business processes. The event seems particularly well attended this year and represents by a wide range of industries and standards bodies.
One notable absence, however, was any representation from the JT camp — Siemens PLM Software. I would have thought that JT would take advantage of an event such as CIC to showcase and grandstand the data format. With no real presence, what are we to think? Is JT really as ubiquitous and pervasive as we have been led to believe? Maybe yes, maybe no. Admittedly, JT has its own conference this coming fall, but when just about every other interoperability technology provider shows up, why not JT? On the other hand, an organization that had a major presence was the relatively new 3DPDF Consortium.
CIC is an interesting conference because collaboration and interoperability are undergoing huge changes, due in large part to clould-based computing, storage, and software as service. Will the cloud be used exclusively tomorrow? Probably not, but over time it will be increasingly used as a primary digital data creation and management platform. In any case, interoperability in the cloud will become a bigger and bigger issue with great challenges, but also great opportunities.
An interesting session on the first day of the Congress discussed the following lightweight 3D formats:
Free viewers are largely what differentiate the above formats, but it was made clear that there is no such thing as a free viewer due to implementation and IP protection/security costs.
The 3D PDF format really got a lot of attention, at least during the first day of the Congress. It seems the reasons for this are the industrial strength tools available for 3D PDF, excellent user acceptance, and the fact that PDF is a widely recognized ISO standard (ISO 32000).
In the coming weeks, we'll detail the advantages and disadvantages of each of the lightweight formats because they definitely have each.
As its central theme, CIC drives home the point that like living creatures and technologies, when it comes to evolution, it's not necessarily the strongest or brightest that survive, it's those who are the most adaptable. I think this will prove true and apply to collaboration and interoperability going forward.

Deer Stranded on Ice Coaxed to Safety
(WALTHAM, Mass.) -- Massachusetts rescue crews braved frozen waters in two separate rescues Friday to bring stranded deer to safety.
The state environmental police, the Waltham fire department and the Animal Rescue League managed to coax the first deer from the slippery ice at Stony Brook Basin in Waltham Friday, ABC News affiliate WCVB-TV reported.
A short while later, rescuers responded to a report that another deer was stranded in the Cambridge Reservoir in Waltham.
As it tried to escape, the deer was captured on video slipping and sliding on the ice as rescuers slowly made their way to the animal using an inflatable raft.
The rescue crews were able to subdue the deer and bring it to safety on land. The doe was taken for a medical evaluation and later had to be euthanized, WCVB reported.
A third deer was found dead Friday on the ice in Waltham.

Looking for a new job can be overwhelming sometimes, especially if you've been on the prowl for a while. While 20% of American adults are still shy about the internet, the other 80% – including most companies looking to hire – have found the Web to be a great resource for job seeking and finding. Most of us know how to use the big social media networks to interact socially – but why not use them to find a new job? Here are some ways you can you exploit Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to look for a new, exciting career:
18,400,000 Americans found their job on Facebook in 2011 – More than Twitter and LinkedIn combined. Most of us enjoy Facebook as a social platform, but the largest social media site on Earth can also be used for more practical purposes. How can you use Facebook to your advantage? Here are some simple ways to get started, and you can also read an in-depth analysis of them right here.
First of all, let your friends and former colleagues know that you're looking: update your status with the specific position/s you're looking for, and ask them whether they've heard of any relevant hiring. Keep updating that job-related status every once in a while to let them know you're still looking.
Join a professional community, and "Like" potential employers' pages. These pages can be a great way to gain new friends who can help you professionally. You can be an active member of a Facebook interest group by starting discussions, posting links and in general – letting people know about you and your field of expertise.
Use Facebook Applications: Branchout, the largest professional networking service on Facebook, allows you to search for positions and find out which of your friends are connected to the companies you're interested in. SimplyHired aggregates job listings from thousands of sites across the 'eb including job boards, newspaper, classified listings and more, and recommends jobs based upon your previous job titles and Facebook interests. BeKnown, an app launched in June 2011, acts as a sort of LinkedIn within the social network, letting Facebook users separate social activity from job-related activity without leaving Facebook. Facebook's Marketplace has a Jobs section, where you can search for work by filtering location, keyword, job title, industry, company and type of position.
2. Tweet for a new job
Unlike Facebook, Twitter allows you to connect to people according to common interests. Landing a job using Twitter can be done by following several steps, besides tweeting intelligently on the field in which you're looking to get hired: Look for job listings under hashtags like #jobs, #recruiting, #jobadvice, #jobposting to name a few. Find out who currently works in the companies you want to work for. Create a network of people with like-minded professions. You can use Twellow in order to find people by area of expertise or profession.
3. Be on LinkedIn
The "Facebook for job-hunting" now boasts of over 150 million members, making it the largest business-related social networking site in the world. Millions of Americans found a job using LinkedIn, using direct contacts or second or third degree connections.
There are abundant Job-related features on LinkedIn: you can review profiles of hiring managers and see which of your existing contacts can hook you up with a useful introduction, get notifications about available offers, bookmark jobs for which you'd like to apply, use the "Apply with LinkedIn" button with companies that offer them, and much, much more.

wu-tang clan
Raekwon finally drops his Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. 2
- 2009-09-08 10:18:11
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2009-09-08
Today after 14 years and an endless series of release date postponements OB4CL2 the follow-up to the legendary classic album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx from 1995 will be released. OB4CL2 features cameos from many industry heavyweights such as the Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, GZA, Masta Killa, Cappadonna and Jadakiss, Styles P, Beanie Sigel and many others. It also features blazing tracks from the who's who of extraordinary Hip-Hop producers such as the RZA, Eric Sermon, Dr Dre, Scram Jones, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, Allah Mathematics and J-Dilla.
Cuban Linx II sticks to a classically New York template. The bulk of the production is decidedly East Coast, including RZA, Pete Rock, Marley Marl and Necro. Guest vocals come courtesy Jadakiss, Styles P, Busta Rhymes and assorted members of the Wu. Rae's raps still paint dusky pictures of New York's nefarious nooks, only this time around, he's projecting from secure surroundings. He sounds buoyed by a broad sense of familial responsibility. Asked about an online rumor suggesting the Wu may finally disband and that Rae's forming a renegade group with Ghostface and Method Man, he sighs and says, "That was definitely put out there before I really had knowledge of it. Those are my brothers and we'll work it out and come up with the best solution. ... But there's also a Wu-Tang project soon coming, and right now Cuban Linx II is a Wu-Tang record that we all want everyone to love and enjoy.
"This record is me flashing back to the days when I was out there like that on the street corners, so I'd definitely say that it's a brother to the first album," he says. "I know people want those pictures of that lifestyle, but it's coming from an older brother perspective now." Then, as if manifesting the original Cuban Linx dream of getting out and getting comfortable but never forgetting how he made it there, he says, "It's about going back but also going forward. I've learned to better myself in the time between and I'm stronger now."

Subscribe To Phil Lord And Chris Miller In Talks To Direct Bob The Musical Updates
I've already subscribed
In 2002, back when MTV had some semblance of good programming, a show called Clone High U.S.A. came on the air. Though the show only lasted one season (it got pulled because the folks over in India were offended by the series' take on Gandhi), it was most certainly a glorious one and without a doubt one of the greatest animated shows in the history of the network, ranked alongside Daria and Beavis and Butthead. Created by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, I was thus unsurprised when their directorial debut, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, turned out to be an absolutely fantastic film. Needless to say, I'm always happy to hear about them getting work.
THR reports that Miller and Lord are currently in discussions to direct Bob The Musical for Disney. In the film, the titular protagonist gets knocked on the head and suddenly can hear "the inner songs of everyone's hearts." Marc Shaiman, who wrote the music for John Waters' Hairspray, is writing the music. Should the duo take on the feature, they would have to work around the production of 21 Jump Street, which they signed on to last December and is looking at a spring shoot. The article doesn't specify if the film will be animated or live-action, but considering that directors Adam Shankman and Mark Waters were previously attached to the project, it's fairly safe to assume that we'll be watching live people on screen.
Lord and Miller are both immensely talented individuals and its great to see them start to find serious success. Really the only drawback of this project is that they didn't write the script themselves, but the story does say that they will be bringing in a writer to do rewrites (I suppose they may just be too busy to do it themselves). I'm typically not a fan of musicals, but I can get behind a musical done right. Let's hope that these two can get that done.

A Restorative Broth
Nigella Lawson would call this Temple Food. I call it common sense. A heady broth that masks a virtually fat free meal. It relies on aromatic ingredients that take mere moments of preparation. Deeply comforting bowl food that permits guilt free second helpings. Best of all it is ready in minutes. I generally keep all the ingredients on hand with the exception of the mussels. I buy kaffir lime leaves in large packets from an Asian market and freeze them. Don't look shocked, the aroma keeps remarkably well. Near instant gratification.
It's the aromatic kaffir lime leaves that really make this dish and feel free to increase the quantity. I find the scent somehow more refined than lemongrass, closer to lime zest. The leaves themselves are certainly more elegant in appearance with their double-leaf structure that doesn't look unlike a figure eight. The leaf is probably best known for its uses in Thai cooking but also features in Indian and Indonesian dishes. This dish will also be my entry to Weekend Herb Blogging hosted this week by Rachel of Rachel's Bite.
Mussels in Aromatic Broth
4 kaffir lime leaves
1 lemongrass stalk- outer layer peeled and sliced lengthwise (optional, the broth won't suffer without it)
1 small knob ginger roughly sliced
2 cloves garlic smashed and sliced
4-6 cups stock or water and a stock cube (I use a Vietnamese brand with a strong five spice hit)
1 whole chilli
200g/7oz mussels (I used Tasmanian because I find them plumper and sweeter)
200g/7oz fresh rice noodles (I use a fairly thin one as the thick flat kind seem out of place here)
To garnish
coriander leaves
chopped spring onions
finely diced red chilli (I use the vinegary jar kind)
fresh limes
In a large pot bring the stock to the boil with the chilli, garlic, ginger, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, if using. Allow to infuse for as long as you can wait, ten minutes should do. Don't add any salt at this stage as the mussels generally do this. Pour in the mussels, turn down the heat and pop on the lid. They should steam open in mere minutes.
In serving bowls place a small pile of the fresh rice noodles. At this stage you can remove the ginger and kaffir lime leaves if you wish but being the rustic (read lazy) cook that I am, I don't bother. Pour over the broth. Fresh rice noodles should only take 30 seconds to 1 minute to cook through in the hot broth. Spoon over a serving of mussels and a generous squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with coriander leaves, spring onions and red chilli.

Excellent work, Truffle! I too keep zip lock bags of kaffir lime leaves in the freezer. Great minds think alike...

I must start hoarding kaffir lime leaves this way too! I already do it for bay leaves, curry leaves and a host of ground spices.

I kept the frozen kaffir lime leaves, too. I love the mussel broth. Must be very aromatic...
I think the use of lime leaves (and other herbs like lemon grass or Thai Basil) make a dish very Southeast Asian. And this is what I truly have the heart for! :)

Common sense indeed. Mussels make one of the most delicious broths ever.
Lovely recipe.

I jsut made mussels Friday and yum, were they good.
I have looked and looked in my area for Kaffir Lime leaves and no luck so I will oder them online when I need them next and I guess it looks as if I can put them in the freez.

- Truffle said...
The Gourmand- They do indeed!
Cindy- I must try it with bay leaves! I am a terrible hoarder but I know if I have them on hand a deeply flavourful meal is only minutes away.
Anh- I agree! This is a bit of a bastardized version using all the Asian ingredients I generally have on hand but it somehow seems to work. While I adore mussels in a creamy white wine sauce with bucketloads of parsley the lighter Southeast Asian version is actually far more flavourful I think.
Thanks Lucy! I have recently received a book the only features mussel recipes so expect many more to come!
Shayne- They do freeze very well but can be expensive depending where you buy them. I would ask around at Asian supermarkets if you're looking for a bargain.

Hey, I keep my kaffir lime leaves in the freezer too! Only mine are in a jar. My stepsister sends them to me from California. This sounds like a wonderful recipe. I love mussels so much! They ware something I loved the very first time I tried them.
- 12 June 2007 at 9:43 pm
- Ellie said...
They look absolutely gorgeous! I'm a big fan of mussels but really don't have them often enough! I think this with some crusty bread to soak up the marvellous broth would be an exemplary meal!

This makes me wish I liked mussels!

My mum taught me the trick to store kaffir lime leaves in the freezer too.
I like the sound of your aromatic broth. It might just encourage my boyfriend's mum to eat mussels because of the asian flavours.:)

I can't eat mussels but your dish made my mouth water, Truffle! It looks wonderful!

I love mussels and this broth looks and sounds like a winner. I will make this next time rather than my usual (posted on my blog if you are interested: http://lifesmorgasbord.blogspot.com/2007/05/perfect-day.html). Thanks for sharing!
- 13 June 2007 at 7:15 pm
- Susan said...
Great looking dish, Truffle. Mussels always arrange themselves so artfully in a bowl; they are an ideal still-life subject. I'm especially enamored when they're done up in Asian flavors.
- 14 June 2007 at 4:53 am
- Truffle said...
Cynthia- oh thank you! That's such a lovely thing to say.
Kalyn- I'm so glad to know I'm not alone on the kaffir lime leaves and to hear from another mussel lover.
Ellie- That's a fantastic idea and thanks! I think mussel soups and bread pair together perfectly.
Wendy- I think they're one of those love them or hate them foods although I was sitting on the fence for a few years when I was younger.
Ilingc- I hope they do! I think mussels take really well to Asian flavours.
Patricia- Sorry to be such a tease! Thanks for the kind words :)
Nora- your dish and your day look absolutely fantastic! What a wonderful view and that seafood looks exceptional.
Susan- I absolutely agree! They're a pleasure to photograph.

Hi Truffle, As ever sounds delicious. I know the boys would love this too, but probably with only a tiny amount of chilli. I didn't know you could freeze kaffir lime leaves. I'll get some for the freezer from now on.
- 14 June 2007 at 2:57 pm
i made this exact last night. I always pair mussels with tomato or white wine and lots of garlic, never thought of lime. it was exceptional! my noodles didn't really work out but the broth is a for sure keeper. thanks

Spicy Beef in Lettuce Cups
Nancie McDermott
Quick and Easy Chinese: 70 Everyday Recipes
Published by Chronicle
This Szechuan-style dish is quite delicious, quick to prepare, and fun to eat. You can use flatter lettuce leaves, such as romaine or oak leaf lettuce, and fold them into small packets for eating. Or enjoy the filling in tortillas or pita bread, along with a handful of shredded lettuce and a dollop or two of spicy salsa. We love it with rice and greens for a weeknight supper.

Kid FriendlyYes
One Pot MealYes
OccasionCasual Dinner Party, Family Get-together
Recipe Coursemain course
Dietary Considerationegg-free, peanut free, tree nut free
Five Ingredients or LessYes
Taste and Texturehot & spicy, meaty
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry, white wine, or Shaoxing wine
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- 1 tablespooon Asian sesame oil
- About 20 cup-shaped lettuce leaves, such as Bibb, Boston, or iceberg
In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, sugar, and salt, and stir well to dissolve the cornstarch and combine everything into a smooth sauce.
Place the ground beef in a medium bowl, and use a spoon to separate it into five or six big clumps. Add about half the soy sauce mixture, and gently mix the seasonings into the ground beef, using your hands or a large spoon. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
To cook, heat a wok or a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the vegetable oil; swirl to coat the pan, and then toss in the ginger and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, tossing once, until fragrant but not browned.
Crumble in the seasoned ground beef, and use your spatula or a big, slotted spoon to break it up and spread the meat out over the hot pan to help it cook evenly. Let it cook until it changes color on one side, 1 to 2 minutes.
Toss the meat just enough to turn the uncooked side onto the hot pan, and let it cook another minute undisturbed. Pour the remaining half of the seasoning mixture over the meat. Then toss well, using your spatula to break up any large chunks. When the meat is cooked, add the red pepper flakes and the green onion, and toss well. Add the sesame oil and remove from the heat tossing once more to mix everything well.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot warm, or at room temperature. Arrange lettuce cups on a serving platter, and fill each one with a spoonful or two of the cooked beef. Or provide lettuce cups and the serving plate of beef and invite guests to make up lettuce packets themselves.

Made with ground chicken instead of beef, and it rocked! Worth making for the aroma it fills the house with :) Quadrupled the recipe to ensure leftovers for lunch. Not sure if my modifications threw it off a bit, but I definitely recommend either omitting the salt or using low sodium soy sauce.

This is really good! I serve it for dinner in a bowl over rice with shredded romaine lettuce on top. I like to put a spoon of go-chee-jang sauce (Korean bean paste that's a little sweet and hot) in it and mix it up. With all that garlic, green onion and sesame oil, it seems more Korean to me. OH! I double or triple the whole recipe. Thanks for the great recipe.

Nancie McDermott here, to fill the gap in my recipe. You pour the remaining seasoning sauce into the pan just after the meat, and before the red pepper flakes, green onion and sesame oil. As soon as the meat has had a chance to cook a bit, pour the sauce over it, toss well, and then proceed as directed. Cookstr corrected my mistake as soon as I told them about it, so the recipe now has all the directions. So sorry and happy cooking!

@scotschinese I checked in the book to see if any instructions went missing in translation from book to web, but in fact Nancie doesn't specify what to do with the rest of that sauce. It sounds so tasty, though, and I bet it would be great as a condiment on the final dish, or even over rice.

This is a lovely and fast dish; but there is a gap in the instructions. One is told what to do with half of the liquid mixture, but never told what to do with the 2nd half. I stirred it in while cooking and that seemed satisfactory. - Leslie

text: 1 Is it more expensive to live in one of your apartments than my current home? While this will depend on individual circumstances, we find that, in most cases, service charges for one of our apartments are lower than like-for-like costs in a Customer's previous property. In addition, heating costs are very often lower due to our modern construction methods and, most likely, the more manageable size of the new apartment. When Customers discuss the purchase of a McCarthy & Stone apartment with us, they receive a service charge leaflet and our Sales Executive sits down with them to help them fill in the costs, review what is covered in the management services and compare them to day-to-day running costs in their current home. Our Sales Executive ensures that they have a detailed knowledge of ongoing costs before a sale is completed.
