In a previous blog entry I discussed some of the exotic properties of graphene. The fact that graphene consists of a single layer of atoms means the aspect ratio of any graphene-based structure may be very high. High aspect geometries present their own array of modeling challenges.
Thermal Modeling of Graphene
COMSOL provides a wide range of tools to assist in modeling geometries and features with very high aspect ratios. Thermal modeling of graphene quilts was recently performed in COMSOL and appeared in Nature Communications: "Graphene quilts for thermal management of high-power GaN transistors". The authors of the paper use COMSOL Multiphysics to show that the local thermal management of a AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field effect transistor (HFET) can be substantially improved via introduction of the additional heat-escaping channels — top-surface heat spreaders — made of few-layer graphene (FLG).
The Heat Transfer interface in COMSOL Multiphysics allows you to model very high aspect ratio components using the Highly Conductive Layer feature. This feature solves the heat transfer equation only in the tangential plane of the surface, thus removing the need to use a very fine mesh on the high aspect ratio layers. Computation time and memory usage is substantially reduced using this approach.
The settings window for the Highly Conductive Layer feature.
Electrical Modeling of Graphene
COMSOL has been used to study the electrical characteristics of graphene from as far back as 2006. In this paper researchers used COMSOL to infer the in-plane and transverse electrical conductivity of a graphene-based composite material. Providing tensor quantities for electrical conductivity is very easy in COMSOL Multiphysics. You simply need to provide the elements of the conductivity tensor, which can be functions of temperature or any other quantity.
In the settings windows for the Current Conservation feature in the Electric Currents interface, it is easy to specify anisotropic electrical conductivity.
Structural Modeling of Graphene
COMSOL may also be used to model structural applications of graphene. In this paper researchers calculated the deflection and strain induced in a graphene membrane subjected to a pressure difference. Changes in the band structure could be detected electrically, suggesting a potential application as ultra-sensitive pressure sensor. The Shell interface, available in the Structural Mechanics Module, is intended for the structural analysis of thin-walled structures and thus perfect for such applications. The formulation used in the Shell interface is a Mindlin-Reissner type, which means that transverse shear deformations are accounted for. This means that highly accurate results can be obtained without the need to mesh a very thin structure.

Relevant Example Models
Now that we've gone through thermal, electrical, and structural modeling concepts you might wonder if there is one grand example that demonstrates all of the concepts at once. There is — it's located in the Model Library and shown below as well.
Model of a heating circuit demonstrating thermal, electrical, and structural modeling concepts.
This multiphysics example simulates the electrical heat generation, heat transfer, and mechanical stresses and deformations of a heating circuit device. The model uses the Heat Transfer interface of the Heat Transfer Module in combination with the Shell and Conductive Media DC interfaces from the AC/DC Module, and the Solid, Stress-Strain, and Shell interfaces from the Structural Mechanics Module.

"After Sandy, Wired New Yorkers Get Reconnected With Pay Phones: Coin-Eating Retro Devices Baffle Some, Frustrate Many; Moment Merits a Tweet."
That Wall Street Journal story today, about folks in lower Manhattan who have been forced by the power outages and damages in the wake of Superstorm Sandy to seek out an old-fashioned way to make a call, has struck a chord.
With cellphones running out of juice, once again a tried-and-true technology has proven itself in a time of trouble.
Well, it's proven itself, that is, if you can find a phone that hasn't been damaged or wasn't vandalized before Sandy. To help in that search, Bowery Boogie has posted about "reliable pay phones you can use" in the lower third of Manhattan. "Of the 20-odd pay phones we visited," says the site, "nearly all had some sort of malfunction. Whether it was a lack of dial tone or gunk plugged in the coin slot, issues abounded." It recommends these three:
-- Northeast corner of Orchard and Delancey
-- Outside Casa Mezcal on Orchard Street
-- Bowery, just south of Delancey
Lines have been long at some phones. For now, at least, the answer to a question Planet Money asked last October — " Does Anyone Still Use These?" — is yes.

Price Range
Genoa Left Pedestal Office Desk
Right Pedestal Teacher Desk
Choosing the right classroom furniture requires consideration of many factors. One such consideration, which might be overlooked, is the comfort of the teacher. How can a teacher stay organized? An organized and accommodating teacher desk helps classes run smoothly so students can learn better.
At Hertz Furniture, we know how important it is for all of your classroom furniture to be chosen carefully. Our teachers' desks are available in wood or steel, single or double pedestal. All of our desks are backed by our complimentary extended 25-year warranty, so you can order with confidence today.
Teachers desks need to be tough to withstand the rigors of a busy classroom. It is important to pay attention to materials to ensure that your purchase will endure through many years of students. Choose from wooden and steel options to find the style and strength that fulfills your needs. Wooden desks have a natural appeal and sturdiness, while steel offers a lighter-weight budget-friendly option.
What kind of storage do I need in my teachers desk?
Whichever material you choose, you want to make sure that you have the storage an educator needs to keep all necessary supplies on hand. The pedestal, a series of drawers, serves to organize all the school paperwork and supplies you have to handle. Teacher desks come with either one or two pedestals. A single pedestal provides more open leg room underneath while two pedestals offer more storage.
Pedestals generally come with a combination of box and file drawers. Box drawers supply an open space which can hold office supplies and small electronics. File drawers provide an easy way to organize important student documents, assignments, official paperwork and any other papers that need to be organized. Many of our teacher desks also include a convenient pencil drawer right under the work surface.
How can I keep supplies secure in the classroom?
With students and teachers coming in and out of the classroom throughout the day, you want to make sure that your supplies and files are protected in the teachers desk. Locking pedestals keep what you need on hand while protecting against theft and prying eyes. Knowing that possessions are secure provides peace of mind and reassurance, even when the teacher is absent from the room.
A great feature to look for is a conference overhang. This creates a comfortable space for students to sit and take notes in personal meetings or review sessions with teachers. Many of our teacher's desks from Sandusky Lee offer this convenient feature.
How can I add color to my classroom?
Add some flair to any learning space with an Educational Edge teachers desk from Academia. Educational Edge features brightly-colored accents that are sure to liven up your classroom, making it more inviting and appealing. You can coordinate with student desks, bookshelves, activity tables and just about any other classroom furniture you can think of for a matching study space.
Empowered II teachers desks offer the ultimate in visual appeal and convenience. They are designed for the digital age with a built-in power and data strip and wire-management grommets. They easily roll through standard doorways on eight heavy-duty casters. Rather than the classic pedestal configuration, Empower II desks have one pedestal with classic drawers and another with plastic bins which are great for storing classroom supplies.
A great teacher desk benefits both educators and students. It helps facilitate a smoothly-run classroom that is organized and efficient. At Hertz Furniture, we know that excellent education begins with the right classroom furniture. That's why we offer such a great selection of teachers desks. If you need help figuring out how to find space in your layout for a teacher's desk, contact the experts in the Hertz Design Center for free project-planning advice.

Alice Walker is a poet, essayist, and commentator, but she's best known for her prodigious accomplishments as a writer of literary fiction. Her novel The Color Purple won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award in 1983 and quickly became a classic of world literature. Set in an African-American community in the rural South during the decades before World War II, the novel is told in letters written by Celie, a woman who survives oppression and abuse with her spirit not only intact, but transcendent.
Walker's writing is characterized by an ever-present awareness of injustice and inequality. But whether describing political struggle—as in Meridian, which deals with the civil rights movement—or meditating on the human relationship to nature and animals, as in her latest book, The Chicken Chronicles, her work conveys the possibility of change. In Walker's vision, grace is available through love and a deep connection to the beauty of the world.
Walker was born in the segregated South, the eighth child in a family who made their living as sharecroppers in Georgia. She came of age during the civil rights movement, and emerged early in her career as a defining voice in feminism and an advocate for African-American women writers. She is a prominent activist who has worked, marched, traveled, and spoken out to support the causes of justice, peace, and the welfare of the earth.
Alice Walker spoke to YES! about the challenges of working for change, and the possibility of living with awareness—and joy.
Valerie Schloredt: Over the past few days I've been immersed in your work, and I've been wondering how you do it. Being able to move someone to tears with a few words on a page is extraordinary to me.
Alice Walker: I want very much for you to feel for whoever I'm talking about, or whatever I'm talking about. Because it is only by empathy being aroused that we change. That is the power of writing. I've experienced exactly what you're saying, reading other writers. I remember the book I first had that experience with was Jane Eyre, being right there with Jane, and understanding, yes, we have to change these horrible institutions where they abuse children. Today, I'm the supporter of an orphanage in Kenya. And one of the reasons comes from having been so moved by reading about Jane at Lowood.
Schloredt: It's interesting to hear about what you read as a child, because some of your best-known work, like The Color Purple, draws on the stories of your ancestors and your family and aspects of the world you knew as a child.
Walker: I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder. We were way out in the country, and why wouldn't you just absolutely wonder at the splendor of nature? It's true I had various sufferings, but nothing really compares to understanding that you live in a place that, moment by moment, is incredible. That your mother could say, "I think we'll have tea tonight," pull up a sassafras root, take it home, boil it, and you have sassafras tea. I mean, it's such a miraculous universe. For a child, this magic is something that supports us, even through the hard times.
Schloredt: Do you go back to your childhood home?
Walker: It doesn't exist.
Schloredt: No?
Walker: No. And there were many of them. We lived in shacks. Each year the people who owned the land (that they had stolen from the Indians), after they had taken the labor for the year, forced us to another shack. How could people do that, to people that they recognized as people? They did this to babies, they did this to small children, they could look at the people they were exploiting and actually see that they were working them into ill health and early death. It didn't stop them.
The most beautiful parts of the area that I lived in are now an enclave of upper-class white housing tracts with a huge golf course. They built a road that went right through the front yard of our church. Most of the people moved to cities, they moved to projects. So, it doesn't exist.
Schloredt: Something I wanted to ask after listening to you talk last night [at the YES! celebration in Seattle], is the idea that some people don't experience empathy, and don't have a conscience that bothers them when they're treating people extremely badly. Where can progressives go with that idea? How do we relate to knowing that?
Walker: You relate to it by being honest. We're sitting back thinking that every single person has a conscience, if you could just reach it. Why should we believe that? I mean, what would make you actually believe that? Certainly not the history of the world as we know it. So it's about trying to understand the history of the world, how it's been shaped, and by whom, and for what purposes.
Understanding trumps compassion at this point. When people are forcing you out of your home, starving your children, destroying your planet—you should bring understanding of them to bear. Not everybody is loving of children, not everybody cares about the ocean. I think if we collectively decide that we are going to confront this, we have a chance. Because humanity is very smart, and we'd like to survive. And we're not going to survive the way we're going. I think we know that.
Schloredt: Your novels are among those books that cause people to say, "This book changed my life," or "This book changed my way of thinking." For me the book of yours that really did something to my way of thinking was Meridian.
That is a very powerful book. One thing that really affected me was the description of the cost of racism to the psyche, what a struggle it is to fight such embedded injustice. I think I saw you as the character Meridian. Are you—have you got some Meridian in you?
Walker: I think all people who struggle at the risk of their lives have some Meridian in them. It's an acceptance of a kind of suffering. You hope that something will come of it, but there's no way of knowing. What I didn't realize was so close to me was how Meridian gets really sick as she encounters various struggles. She's using every ounce of her will, her intelligence, her heart, her soul. It often leaves her debilitated. And that has certainly been true in my life. And it's something that I have to accept.
In Jackson, Mississippi, during the civil rights movement, the mayor had a tank that the town bought just to use against us. So there's the possibility of the tank running over you, and you have to stand there. So I understood that, well, this is probably going to mean a few weeks of just being immobilized. And then you figure out ways to recuperate.
It's learning to accept that the cost is great. It would have to be, because we're talking about emotional intelligence and growth and stretching yourself, reaching for the sun, kind of as if you were a plant. It's a difficult thing to change the world, your neighborhood, your family, your self.
Schloredt: Not only is Meridian risking her life, like the other civil rights activists in the South, but there's also internal oppression, an inner struggle the characters deal with.
Walker: The inner struggle is extremely difficult for all of us, because we all have faults, severe ones, that we will struggle with forever. One of the things that I like about Meridian is that it is about how we like to have almost a stereotype about leaders and revolutionaries and world-changers, that they are always whole. It's wise to accept that [human faults] are inevitable. Factor that in and keep going.
Schloredt: I love the passage where Meridian visits a black church after the assassination of Martin Luther King and finds that they've incorporated his rhetoric into the sermon.
Walker: This is the segment where B.B. King is in the stained-glass window with a sword—where the people needed to incorporate, as far as I was concerned at the time, a bit more militancy. More awareness of what you're up against, and confronting that with real clarity. In some ways it's the same issue that we're talking about. You have to go to the places that scare you so that you can see: What do you really believe? Who are you really? Are you prepared to take this all the way to wherever the truth leads you and accept that you have to figure out different ways of confronting reality?
Schloredt: I wanted to ask you about Occupy and uprisings in the Middle East. You've been politically active over your lifetime. Is there advice that you would give to people who are organizing now in the United States?
Walker: If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions, and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it. You have to go wherever you need to go, and you have to be wherever you need to be, and place yourself there against the forces that would distort you and destroy you.
I love the uprisings, I love the Occupy movement, and I think the young people especially are doing something that is very natural. It is natural to want to have a future. It is very natural to want to live in peace and joy. What is lovely about this time is the awareness that is sweeping the planet. People are just waking up, every moment.
Schloredt: One thing that I worry about for progressives is that we are often distracted from effective direct action by the project of improving ourselves, of being good.
Walker: And also, "good" in that sense can sometimes be very facile. And a good cover, you know, "I'm doing good, so I don't have to change very much." But I think for most Americans, the change that's required is huge.
Schloredt: How do we make that change happen?
Walker: Well, you know, you're doing it. I think YES! Magazine is part of what's changing people's consciousness. And I think the spread of Buddhism—the retreat centers, the meditation practice—has had a huge impact on people's consciousness. Americans learning Buddhist tradition has helped a lot of people understand that they actually have a power that is theirs. They have their own mind. It's not somebody else's mind, and it's not controllable, unless you permit it. That's a foundation for huge change.
Schloredt: Your writing has, I'm sure, also changed consciousnesses. How does it feel to know that your work has in some way changed the world?
Walker: Well, it's a gift the universe has permitted you to achieve—but it's not just dropped in your lap, you have to really work for it. For instance, years ago when I wrote Possessing the Secret of Joy, the campaign against female genital mutilation [FGM] was a dangerous subject. There was a great deal of flak about my wanting to address it.
I wrote the book, and then Pratibha Parmar and I made the film [Warrior Marks, a documentary about FGM], and lugged it around Africa, and London, New York, all over. It allowed women who had no voice about FGM to speak. Progress is slow, and sometimes it's discouraging. It's like knocking on doors in the South asking people to vote, and they're terrified of voting. And then seeing over the course of years that people started understanding that they had a right to reject the practice of FGM, that they had a voice. I feel grateful that I could be an instrument to stop any kind of suffering. I mean, what a joy.
Schloredt: In your novels you describe profound suffering and pain, but there is also often the potential for reconciliation and healing. If you could create healing and reconciliation for something that's happening in our country today, what would it be?
Walker: I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism. The hypocrisy of that is corrosive, and we should not accept it. There is no way to stop terrorism if you insist on making enemies of most of the people on the planet. Why should they care about you? All they feel is fear.
So I would stop the War on Terror, and I would start making peace with the peoples of the planet by trying to understand them. I would like us to be able to say, "If that happened to me, I would feel exactly the way you do. And what can we do from here, from this understanding? What can we do together?"

Research papers
A lot of documentation exists about Haskell, and its foundations, in the form of research papers written by those investigating language design. An enormous research effort, by hundreds of researchers over the past 20 years, has gone into making Haskell such a great language. In general, if a feature is not well understood, it isn't going to become part of the language.
Here is a selection of those papers, with the goal of making the wealth of material published on Haskell more available to the casual user, and not just researchers. Some of the papers are highly technical, others, not so. These papers are not suitable for those trying to learn the language from scratch, but more for those looking for a deeper understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of Haskell.
There are E-reader-friendly versions of many PDFs available at this Github repository.

The cost of marquee hire in Sale can vary based on several main factors:
We aim to offer low prices for our services, working with both business and domestic clients across all regions. We provide delivery and installation of all our products, which can contribute to the prices.
For example, a marquee for a wedding in London is going to be more expensive than elsewhere in the country. This can also vary based on the time of year, as more material and protection will be needed during winter than in summer, which can contribute to the overall cost of our service.
If you are interested in hiring a marquee in Sale or any other event equipment from us, do not hesitate to get in touch with us today, and we can offer you a quote.
Type of Marquee | Estimated Cost Range (Approx.) |
Traditional Marquees | £800 – £2,500 |
Stretch Tents | £1,000 – £3,000 |
Tipis | £1,200 – £4,000 |
Glamping Tents | £1,500 – £4,500 |
Frame Marquees | £1,000 – £3,500 |
Saddlespan Tents | £1,500 – £5,000 |
Giant Structures | £2,000 – £8,000 |
Multi-Deck Structures | £2,500 – £10,000 |
As a leading marquee hire company based in Sale, we have a great selection of products on offer. The best type of marquee will vary based on your location, party size, and the season.
We offer the following kinds of marquees for any celebration:
Traditional marquees continue to be a popular option for weddings or domestic garden parties. Also known as pole tents, these kinds of marquees can come in multiple sizes to suit any kind of location and are usually white.
They can feature elements such as windows or coloured sections upon request.
This is one of the most versatile kinds of marquee for hire and can be used during any celebration. As their name suggests, these come in large sizes, which means they are ideal to use when other options simply won't cut it.
Whether you are wanting to cover the whole family at their tables during a wedding, protect vendors during corporate events, or even cover the dancefloor at a large party, then this is a great option.
These are attractive structures that are smaller than other options, meaning they can be used in places where a standard marquee is not suitable. For example, to separate areas in the garden during a party, protect chairs from the elements, or for creating a focal point.
Glamping is a large industry in locations outside of London, in particular, Surrey and other rural areas across the country. This can be a great way to spend the weekend with the family, and the right marquee will protect you from the elements.
With our marquee hire service, you can provide glamping tents to guests and family members during your event. These can be used during the winter months and are fitted with lighting to offer those home comforts in any location.
This kind of marquee is similar to the traditional marquee model but can be a better option because it does not need guy ropes or fixings to assemble.
This kind of marquee is highly durable because it has an aluminium frame. No support beams are needed, which means there is more room inside the marquee, making this ideal for a wedding where a large dancefloor, along with tables and chairs, is required inside.
This is a popular option with our corporate clients because it is a stunning structure that is ideal for creating a focal point for any high-profile event.
Offering great acoustics as well as a stunning background for lighting effects, this marquee is a stunning sight.
Our company has also been involved in the installation and hiring of giant marquee structures. For large events in London, for example, you can find our giant marquee, which offers protection to all guests.
As well as offering a giant marquee, we can also accommodate multiple decks if this is required.
To learn more about our marquee options and how we can help, do not hesitate to get in touch with the team today.
Along with our extensive marquee selection in Sale, we also offer furniture hire for all parties.
To accommodate your guests over the weekend or during your event, we can provide everything you need. Finding not only the marquee but also everything you need to go along with it in one place is ideal, and we aim to offer the best service to our clients.
We also offer mobile bar hire to suit any occasion and give people something to celebrate with.
Commonly found at a wedding, our mobile bars can be used in most locations, and we can ensure all kinds of drinks are served during the party.
As a leading marquee hire company, we have provided a great service to all kinds of clients.
A marquee can be a great addition to any kind of party, and we can hire them for the following reasons:
We have an excellent marquee selection available to hire, ensuring we cater to the needs of all our clients. Speak with us today regarding your event and needs to see what we can do for you.
Opting to hire a marquee for your event is a great idea for many reasons.
Usually, it is cheaper to hire a marquee for a short period of time instead of buying one outright. With our flexible hire periods and low prices, we make it easy to hire the right marquee for your needs.
Working with our company in Sale also gives you access to ongoing support, as well as expert installation of the marquee on your site. This is included with the hiring of our products.
Both are used for the same purposes, but a gazebo tends to be lightweight and used for shorter periods of time than a marquee. Gazebos also tend to be smaller than a marquee.
Installing a marquee in your own garden does not require permission as long as it is removed within 28 days.
You can put up a marquee in a public park or any other public area with permission from the necessary authorities.
If you would like to hire a Sale marquee from us, then please contact us today.

Hidden Bombshell : The question you may ask is what is a hidden Bombshell ? It is a wine that represents exceptional wine that the winemaker needs to sell for a variety of reasons, too much stock, cash flow issues or just anything really. But he does not want it advertised on the internet because if you see the wine at say $30 and everyone else sells it for $70 this creates an enormous issue with other retailers or when the price goes back up to $70. So just buy the wine and please don't tell anyone where you got it please please please.
The biggest Suprise will be when your wine is delivered and you open the box. Have Faith in Jack
With Hidden Bombshell Brands we will not reveal the maker's brand on site. You won't find out what it is until it hits your doorstep,
But yes it is labelled and all will be revealed when you open your case of wine.
Winemakers Notes: This Shiraz delivers notes of dark-fruits paired with rich red-berry concentrates. Touches of subtle oak and hints of pepper spice complete the palate, for a textured and layered finish.
It's opulent and beautifully perfumed, showing dark and purple fruit richness, cake spice and mocha characters, leading to a generously weighted palate offering terrific fruit purity together with seductive complexity. Velvety and delicious, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2037. ~ Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
I thought the Hidden Bombshell was just drinking beautifully, lovely fruit well integrated tannins and soft but full of flavour, quite an exceptional wine ~ Jack
Blend | Shiraz |
Region | Coonawarra |
Alcohol Volume | 14.5 |

When Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey airs Thursday and Friday, reports broadly agree, it will include Armstrong admitting that he did, in fact, use banned substances during his cycling career, contrary to ... well, contrary to many, many denials, video of some of which Buzzfeed has been kind enough to compile into this really depressing supercut:
Opinions are all over the place about how important doping is, in and of itself. For some, it ruins and insults athletic competition. For others, it's no different from a cyclist getting a faster bike or a swimmer getting a high-tech suit. Elite athletes seek advantages where they find them, and drug intervention is routinely a part of that; how do we decide that what's described in this piece about the Toradol shots given to the Miami Dolphins' Jason Taylor is OK and that what Armstrong is accused of doing is not OK? Or is none of it, in fact, OK?
Let's leave that aside. Just for now.
What's almost as disturbing about Armstrong's story, assuming he does in fact confess to doping in the interview, is all that denial. Not just the denial itself — "No, I didn't do it" — but the incredulity, the almost weaponized indignation that he mustered in insisting he was being falsely accused. He implied that people were persecuting him, he suggested he was being targeted by malicious enemies, and he insisted his protestations were useless because everyone would believe what they wanted. He even employed his history of cancer to underscore how ridiculous the accusations were. Did people really think he would do something like that after fighting a life-threatening illness? Did they really think he would risk his health?
And then there's that ad. "Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike, busting my ass, six hours a day. What are you on?" And then that line: "Just do it."
What's so bad about all this isn't just that it apparently wasn't true, but that he made it clear that he was so mad that he was having to even respond and that no one listened. He took such offense at the implication, right there in that Nike ad: How dare you, really. What are you on, you non-ass-buster?
The thing is, we need indignation. We need people to be able to say something isn't true when it isn't true, and we need something they are entitled to employ in their defense. Indignation is healthy in people who've been wronged. It's their right. Lance Armstrong — and Bill Clinton's wagging finger, and every similar denial — is slowly ruining righteous indignation for everyone.
We are reaching a point where stormy anger over a set of allegations is so utterly standard that nobody hears it, and that raises the question: What are you supposed to do if you're the guy who's accused of using performance-enhancing drugs and you actually didn't? Or the guy who's accused of having sex with an intern and you actually didn't? You can stand up and object — I object, I really object, I very, very much object — but the more you object, the more you sound just like ... Lance Armstrong.
It's not just the offense that's offensive, and it's not even just the lying about the offense. It's the co-opting of the language of innocence. It's one thing to do something you shouldn't do; it's another thing to ape the gestures and the language and the rage that people feel when something really isn't true. To lie straightforwardly is just dishonest; to thunder about your innocence when you are guilty is to exploit your audience's darkest fears of being wrongly accused. It is to position yourself as the victim and to whisper to everyone listening that this could also happen to them, that you were just sitting here, minding your own business, busting your ass six hours a day, and this happened. The fear of people bearing false witness is so elemental that not doing it is a commandment. Harnessing it to make fools out of people makes them angry.
Winfrey probably asked a lot of questions when they taped yesterday about what precisely Armstrong did and didn't do — when, how much, how often, for how long. I honestly feel like I'd learn more from a good grilling about the denials. Because there's an argument that doping is victimless in sports where it's pervasive enough, but making it harder to believe anyone who denies anything has a perverse ability to harm innocent people exclusively.

Tuscan Olive Burgers
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Every year, usually in May, I begin a whirlwind of kitchen activity that's triggered by the opening of the Build a Better Burger Contest. The economy and changes in advertising strategy rang the death knell for many of the big contests, but BBB is one of the few to survive with its award structure intact. Its $100K prize make it a plum for those who enjoy cooking competitions. While I've never won, I continue to try and went ahead and created two recipes for the contest this year, only to find that our revised holiday plans would have us out of the country at the time the contest would occur. I'm not really good about saving recipes for another day, so I though I'd share one of them with you today. Before I go into the multiple steps required to get this burger on the table, I want you to know that my favorite burger is simply dressed and charcoal broiled. Were it not for contests, I would never go through this rigmarole. While I may prefer my burgers naked, judges don't and that makes multi-step preparations a necessity for contests. If you analyze winning recipes, you can see the steps required to get to the competition. You'll need a sauce or spread for the rolls and layers of toppings that will make your well-seasoned burger unique. The folks at BBB maintain a huge database that you can scan for ideas if you are at all interested in entering the contest. I decided to make a Tuscan-style burger as my first entry this year. I had been working with tapenade and thought it would be a wonderful way to season my burgers. Once my theme was chosen, I rapidly moved through the toppings and spreads that I would use to accompany the patties. I decided to use a fennel-flavored mayonnaise and smoked cheese and proscuitto as toppers. To make the burgers even more singular, I made a fennel slaw to finish the package. In tonight's photo, I've used a simple olive salad in place of the fennel slaw. To be truthful, I had no fresh fennel in the house, so I took the line of least resistance and used olives which I have in abundance. This is a bold burger with strong flavors. If you like strongly flavored food, I think you'll love these. I have one caution to share with you. Be careful with the salt shaker. The tapenade and proscuitto are very salty and you won't need a lot of additional salt. Here's the recipe for those with adventuresome spirits.
Tuscan Olive Burgers...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 pounds ground chuck
1 cup green olive tapenade (recipe can be found here)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 slices smoked Provolone or Gouda cheese
12 slices proscuitto, lightly fried and warm
6 top-quality hamburger buns, split
6 leaves curly lettuce
Fennel Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
1 cup mayonnaise
Fennel Coleslaw
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, or to taste
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 lb fennel (about 1-1/2 large bulbs)
1) Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
2) To make patties: Combine ground chuck with tapenade and black pepper, handling as little as possible. Shape into 6 bun-size patties. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
3) To make fennel mayonnaise: Combine ground fennel with mayonnaise. Mix well. Set aside.
4) To make fennel slaw: Whisk together all ingredients except fennel. Trim fennel stalks flush with bulb, discarding stalks, and remove any discolored outer layers. Halve fennel through root end and discard core. Thinly slice fennel with a mandoline or other manual slicer. Toss fennel with enough dressing to coat, then season with salt and pepper.
5) To grill: Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Place patties on rack, cover, and cook, turning once until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. Place cheese slices on patties about 3 minutes before grilling is complete. Place buns, cut side down on outer edges of rack to toast lightly during last 2 minutes of grilling.
6) To assemble burgers. Spread top and bottom of burger buns with fennel mayonnaise. Cover bottom half of each bun with a lettuce leaf. Cover with a patty. Top each patty with two slices of warm proscuitto and about 2 tablespoons of fennel slaw. Add bun tops and serve. Yield: 6 burgers.

I shall suggest that my husband try your burger. As for me, I am a hamburger purist. Good bun (not too thick) with a thin spread of yellow mustard on top and bottom, a perfect round of Vidalia onion and thinly sliced dill pickles. A garden salad on the side instead of fries.

Oh Mary - I just love stopping by here, it's a little chunk of "me" time in an otherwise crazy season. My favorite part of this burger (which I dutifully printed to post on my refrigerator as a "to do") is the olive tapenade! I can't wait to have time to put it together! The OTHER serendipitous part of my quick stop by today is the "Lemony Buttermilk Squares" found at the bottom of the page. Lemony foods are my all time favorite - they cheer me up in dark times, brighten up even the happy times.

- Ginny Hartzler said...
This is gorgeous, and you have it perfectly centered on the lettuce border. At first glance I thought it was some kind of ham or prosciutto sandwich, then I had to back up and saw the burger under it, oh yum!!! I love burgers, but haven't made one in maybe 20 years, believe it or not. I've just gotten kind of afraid to handle it with a new food poisoning scare on ground beef every month or so.

Overview and History
Bucharest, Romania was first mentioned in written history around 1459 AD. Since then it has gradually grown in influence, becoming the capital of Romania in 1862 and even earning the title "Paris of the East" for its cultural magnetism.
The city has a population of about two million people and makes up one of the main industrial centers of eastern europe.
The origin of the name Bucharest comes from the legendary outlaw and prince Bucur. Linguistic roots from Albanian and Thracian languages connect that name to words like "beautiful", "glad" and "joyous."
Bucharest was home to Wallachian Prince Vlad the Impaler in the 15th century. The city was burned down by the Ottomans in the early 17th century, rebuilt, and ravaged by the Plague over the next two hundred years. Battles between the Ottoman empire and the Austrian Hapsburgs saw Bucharest occupied by Austria and also Russia in the eighteenth century.
In 1861 Wallachia and Moldova were united to form the Principality of Romania with Bucharest as its capital. This new region was occupied by Germany during World War One and saw heavy Allied bombing in World War Two. In the middle of the war, Romania joined the Russian side against Germany, and was bombed again, ths time by the Luftwaffe.
Following the wars, Romania was under Communist leadership by Nicolae Ceausescu. His tenure came with the construction of many large Soviet-style buildings which took over the historic districts of the city. He was overthrown in the 1989 revolution.
The 1991 Constitution established Romania as a republic with a multi-party system, market economy and individual rights of free speech, religion and private ownership.
Romania joined NATO in 2004 and the European Union in 2007.
Getting There
You'll be flying into Henry Coanda International Bucharest Airport, the biggest airport in Romania. Henry Coanda built the world's first jet powered aircraft, did you know that?
The airport is 16km north of the city and connects by bus, taxi and a shuttle bus to the Gara de Nord, Bucharest's main train station.
Bucharest has an extensive public transportation system, one of the largest in Europe. There's a Metro along with buses, minibuses, trams, trolleybuses and light rail. They have limited the number of taxi licenses to ten thousand to keep down the traffic problems.
The main train station is called the Gare de Nord and it connects to all the cities in Romania as well as Belgrade, Budapest, Vinena, Prague and Moscow. The commuter rail line is currently being extended to unite it with surrounding counties.
People and Culture
The currency is the Romanian Leu (RON) which exchanges at about 4.3 RON to the Euro at the time of this writing.
The first known art in Romania dates to 10,000 BC as cave paintings in northwest Transylvania. Pottery from the Neolithic Age (4000 BC) has been found widely, all around the country. Around 2000 BC there was a distinct group of Thracian people here, whom the Greeks referred to as "Getae". The Romans called them "Dacians" and Herotodus described them as ""the fairest and most courageous of men," because they believed in the immortality of the soul and were not afraid to die.
Things to do, Recommendations
Rumor has it that Romania sits on one of the world's strongest magnetic lines, and these are responsible for attracting psychics and... wait for it... VAMPIRES to the area!!!
Many "dracula" tours take place in Romania, including such places as Sighisoara, the Snagoc Monastery, Castle Bran and of course, Curtea Domneasca. These sites are all related to the life of Vlad Tepes, the legendary Count Dracula.
Apart from that, Bucharest is known for its large neoclassical buildings and fashionable parks (in their day). Visit Cismigiu Park, Calea Victoriei street and the Royal Palace for a taste of the architectural history.

For Sybase users (this probably applies to MS-SQL Server as well) who are using ODBC:
I was using the same code as mizmerize, but I was getting truncated data back from the server (at the 32kb mark) when selecting data with the image datatype. My Sybase server has a @@textsize property of 2Gb, which should be plenty. But apparently, the php ODBC driver resets this to 32Kb when a connection is made, and then sets it back to 2Gb after. The solution is to do a query:
<?php odbc_exec($connH, "set textsize 131072"); ?>
immediately before your main query, in mizmerize's code. That should override the default setting.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We pride ourselves on the quality of our Talavera pieces and want you to enjoy them for as long as possible. Here are a few tips for making your Talavera finish and color stay as rich and vibrant as the day you bought it.
- Avoid rapid changes in temperature. Example: moving a piece from the refrigerator directly to the oven or microwave. Like any glass, porcelain, or ceramic, this could cause the item to crack or break.
- While top rack dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing rather than exposing your Talavera to the direct drying heat of the dishwasher. The heat could fade your colors over time.
- Use only wood or plastic serving spoons. Metal utensils can damage finish.
- Kitchenware is microwave and oven safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If possible, avoid extended direct sunlight on pieces as over long periods of time, it can fade color.
- We recommend bringing your planters in before the first frost as ceramic has a hard time with extreme cold.
If you follow these simple steps your Talavera will last for years to come!
Thanks again for purchasing from Enchanted Talavera.
