An ideological dogfight is under way about the skies over New York and how best to ease the congestion at the region's three major airports.
Its outcome will affect millions of American fliers – because half of all delays in the country from Chicago to Dallas to Los Angeles originate over the Big Apple. At issue is whether the Department of Transportation's proposal to cap the number of flights at each airport and then auction off landing slots to airlines would end up reducing costs and congestion – or increasing them.
In Washington this week, the battle heated up during a contentious session at a hearing on Capitol Hill.
New York's senior senator, Charles Schumer (D), minced no words, telling the House Transportation Committee's Aviation Subcommittee that the government's plans were "hare-brained" – nothing more than "untested market-based ivory tower ideas" that will make things far worse. The Department of Transportation (DOT) shot back that Senator Schumer was more interested in "obstructing" efforts to cut delays than in modernizing the nation's antiquated air traffic system.
But some aviation analysts worry that both sides are failing to recognize a solution that could almost immediately ease aviation traffic jams.
"It's a case of misplaced aggression because they're arguing at the margins of a problem where there's already a solution," says Robert Mann, president of R.W. Mann & Company in Port Washington, N.Y. "You can argue about this all day long, but you could solve it tomorrow if you wanted to."
The congestion is caused by the fact that more planes want to land in the New York region – especially during rush hours – than there are runways or airport gates to accommodate them. So flights regularly stack up in the sky while waiting for space to land. Since a third of all air traffic in the country either originates or passes through New York, those delays ripple across the nation.
Mr. Mann and other aviation analysts contend that better management of planes while they are in the air could easily reduce congestion. There are already software programs available that can manage airspace to maximize efficiency. They can tell airlines whether to speed up or slow down individual flights to avoid bottlenecks in congested hubs.
But the focus in Washington is on what to do when the planes are already stacked up in the skies waiting to land, say, at LaGuardia Airport.
The DOT contends that the best way to solve the problem is simply to cap the number of flights scheduled each hour. But there's concern that such a move could raise prices dramatically. So the DOT has proposed taking the landing slots that airlines currently have and auctioning off some of them.
"This increases competition by creating a robust secondary market for trading [landing slots] and allows new entrants to gain access to restricted airports," DOT counsel general D.J. Gribbin told the committee.
But critics, including the Port Authority of New York, which operates the region's airports, contend that is an untested idea that will add to the confusion and congestion as well as raise prices dramatically. The port authority also doesn't believe the DOT has the right to take away airlines' landing slots.
"We think it's not only illegal but also disastrous," says William DeCota, director of aviation at the port authority. "This proposal will do anything but create reliable and affordable air travel."
The port authority, the airlines, and Schumer all think the DOT should simply improve air traffic control by hiring more controllers and speeding up modernization of the nation's antiquated air traffic control system.
But some aviation analysts contend that both sides in the debate are missing a simple solution: better management of the planes when they're in the air.
"Today, airlines operate mostly on automatic: say a flight pulls off the gate in [Los Angeles] at 2:25, then they simply wait until it gets to [New York]" says Michael Boyd, president of The Boyd Group in Evergreen, Colo.
And when they get there, they regularly find themselves circling as they wait to land. But what if that flight and others were managed to take advantage of real-time weather and airport congestion conditions to maximize the overall system's efficiency? In Germany, Lufthansa Airlines is already using a software program to do that. And so is Delta Airlines at its hub in Atlanta. That program is called "Attila." And it basically acts as a traffic cop in the sky.
For example, "If there are tail winds and no expected delays in New York, [Attila] would say, 'Throttle back, save 600 pounds of fuel and still arrive on time.' Or, if there were expected air traffic control problems it would say, 'Speed that [baby] up, because you need to get there sooner rather than later,' " says Mr. Boyd.
In the interest of disclosure, both Boyd and Mann have worked with Attila's inventor, the ATH Group, in Lanham, Md.
Delta Airlines, which started using Attila in August 2006, has saved more than 4 million gallons of fuel and more than 4,000 hours in flight time, according to the Attila website.
Several other major carriers are currently considering using the software at their hubs as well. But New York represents a more complex problem, since there are three major hubs in the same region and four major airlines. Attila operates to maximize the efficiency for each airline according to its own business needs. So if airlines were to adopt it in New York, analysts say there would have to be an "honest broker" of sorts that could prioritize flights fairly.
Meanwhile, the DOT is taking comments on its proposal to auction slots at the region's airports, and the airlines are vowing to take it to court if it moves ahead with the plan. Schumer has also pledged to block the plan.

In 1996 I switched over to design for Internet. The websites I design are getting more interactive during the years by use of Flash and Javascript DHTML. I've designed about 15 fonts now. Only 3 of them are for sale, the others were just for particular projects or I published them as shareware.

the selection or making of a sample.
the selection of a group of people, events, behaviors, or other elements that are representative of the population being studied in order to derive conclusions about the entire population from a limited number of observations.
accidental sampling a type of nonprobability sampling in which the population selected is easily accessible to the researcher; available subjects are simply entered into the study without any attempt at randomization. Called also convenience sampling.
chorionic villus sampling (CVS) sampling of chorionic villi from the villous area of the chorion, a procedure used for prenatal diagnosis at nine to 12 weeks of gestation. A catheter is inserted either through the cervix or through the abdominal wall and fetal chorionic villus tissue for analysis is aspirated under ultrasonic guidance. This has been used for the prenatal diagnosis of fetal trisomies, hemoglobinopathies, and biochemical disorders. It allows first trimester diagnosis and direct chromosomal and biochemical analysis but does not screen for neural tube defects or certain other anomalies; some of those may be identified by maternal serum and amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein measurements.
cluster sampling a type of probability sampling in which the population is divided into groups on the basis of some shared characteristic (such as hospitals grouped by geographic region) and a random sample is drawn from each of these groups.
convenience sampling accidental sampling.
nonprobability sampling sampling in which not every element of the population has an opportunity of being selected for the sample; the sample is not representative of the population and generalizations cannot be made to the population.
percutaneous umbilical blood sampling a procedure used to obtain fetal blood for examination; a sterile needle is inserted through the mother's abdomen and uterus, and guided to one of the umbilical veins via ultrasound. This procedure has begun to replace fetoscopy because it has a lower complication rate. Direct sampling of fetal blood provides more rapid test results than amniocentesis, and a more definitive diagnosis. It can be used to identify chromosomal abnormalities, detect a fetal infection, and assess fetal growth and development. Called also cordocentesis.
probability sampling sampling in which each element of a population has an opportunity of being selected for the sample; its purpose is to obtain a sample that is representative of the population and from which generalizations to the population can be made.
purposive sampling a type of nonprobability sampling in which the researcher consciously selects specific elements or subjects for inclusion in a study in order to ensure that the elements will have certain characteristics relevant to the study.
quota sampling a type of nonprobability sampling in which an accidental sample is adjusted to ensure that certain subgroups are not underrepresented; its purpose is to obtain a sample that is representative of the population to which the researcher wishes to make generalizations.
random sampling probability sampling.
stratified random sampling sampling in which the population is divided into several groups that are alike in certain ways and a random selection is made from each group.
systematic sampling the selection of study objects conducted when an ordered list of all members of the population is available; subjects are chosen from the list at a given uniform interval from each other, using a starting point that is selected randomly.
The policy of inferring the behavior of a whole batch by studying a fraction of it.
[MF essample, fr. L. exemplum, taking out]
sampling/sam·pling/ (sam´pling) the selection or making of a sample.
chorionic villus sampling (CVS) any of several procedures for obtaining fetal tissue to use in prenatal diagnosis, performed at 9 to 12 weeks' gestation, usually by means of a catheter passed through the cervix or by a needle inserted through the abdominal and uterine walls.
percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS) cordocentesis.
samplingAn MRI term for the conversion of analog signals to discrete digital values through a preselected measurement process.
samplingStatistics The obtaining of representative material from a population Surgery A procedure that obtains a soupçon of material for pathologic evaluation, without a formal attempt at complete removal of a suspected or confirmed lesion. See Cluster sampling, Inferior petrosal sinus sampling.
The policy of inferring the behavior of a whole batch by studying a fraction of it.
[MF essample, fr. L. exemplum, taking out]
- the act of taking a fraction of substance to be tested or analysed.
- the selection of some parts from a larger whole as in statistical sampling.
The selection of a group of subjects from a population. This is usually done for the purpose of experimentation. The part of the population selected is called the sample: it is usually considered to be representative of a given population. A good sample must be random, i.e. every possible member of that population has an equal chance of being selected. Otherwise, it is said to be biased. Sampling can extend either across geographical areas (spatial sampling) or over a period of time (temporal sampling).
the process of selecting a sample.
area sampling
dividing the population into equal areas and randomly selecting from among the areas.
cluster sampling
when the population to be sampled exists in clusters, e.g. herds, sampling can be done by random selection between the herds. This assumes that each cluster is a homogeneous group.
sampling fraction
ratio of the number of units in the population to the number of units in the population.
sampling frame
the names of the component parts of the population from which the sample is to be collected.
quota sampling
the sections of the population, e.g. milking cows, dry cows, yearlings, calves are represented in the sample in the same proportion as they exist in the population.
stratified sampling
a simple random selection is performed in each stratum of those created in order to permit a different sampling percentage to be used in each stratum.
systematic sampling
the sampling is random but the samples are drawn systematically, say every third unit, the first unit also being chosen randomly.
two-stage sampling
an example of multi-stage sampling. The first sampling is of large groups, e.g. herds, then a second-stage sampling is carried out within herds, e.g. sire families, with possibly a third stage, of individual cows within the sire families.
sampling units
individual members of a population. It is often difficult to define exactly what is a unit because of the design of the study.
sampling variation
the variation that occurs between samples of the one population. A measure of the random error of the sampling technique used.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Chesapeake Energy (CHK) is one of the largest American independent producers of natural gas and oil. The Oklahoma City-based company was founded by Aubrey McClendon and Tom Ward in 1989 with only $50,000 in capital. Four years later, Chesapeake completed its initial public offering to help fund large scale growth, which was cut short thanks to disappointing geological discoveries and the collapse of commodity prices in the late 1990s. Financial challenges were met by a new business plan aimed at diversifying operations through land acquisitions and investments in exploration. The company vigorously expanded its acreage position in unconventional plays during the following years. Now, in addition to being the second-largest natural gas producer (behind Exxon Mobil (XOM – Free Exxon Stock Report) and a top fifteen oil producer in the United States, Chesapeake offers marketing, midstream, drilling, and other oilfield services.
Aubrey McClendon announced that his retirement from the company's lead post is set for April 1, 2013, though we have already begun to see changes reflecting new management. The departure marks the end of an era, but controversy surrounding his tenure will certainly not die down. The longtime boss has been at the center of an informal SEC investigation for nearly twelve months following reports that he used his position in Chesapeake's wells to secure over $1 billion in loans. His compensation package attempts to align the company's interests with McClendon's personal wealth by allowing him to purchase a 2.5% stake in every one of the company's oil and gas wells, which number in the tens of thousands. He was then using these loans, and a group of other funds, to further invest in wells. Essentially, critics argue that McClendon ran a hedge fund that traded in the very commodities he produced, sparking a conflict-of-interest and price manipulation debate. An internal investigation found no evidence of intentional wrongdoings within the outgoing CEO's personal finances, though news that the SEC might beef up its inspection forced down Chesapeake's share price in early May of 2012.
Notwithstanding the investigation, McClendon's more-speculative style does not fit what the market currently requires from Chesapeake. New management seems to be building momentum through a more conservative approach, though an aggressive mentality during the "gas shale land grab" has left Chesapeake ahead of some of the competition, including Devon Energy (DVN), Encana (ECA), and Chevron (CVX –Free Chevron Stock Report), on the natural gas scene. Core operations currently span the Haynesville, Bossier, Barnett, and Marcellus Shale, and smaller businesses in a few other locations. In fact, the company's 2008 discovery of the Haynesville Shale could become the largest natural gas play in the country. However, deflated commodity prices have since changed the face of our energy markets. Over 80% of rigs were drilling for natural gas while it traded near $13 ptcf (percentage to cash flow) in 2008 as opposed to the same percentage of rigs currently focused on oil reserves and gas prices hovering around $3.50 ptcf. That said, Chesapeake currently has cut its rig count to about 80, from 160 in 2011. This has lessened expenses without decreasing revenues thanks to wells that have been producing at better-than-expected levels.
Drillers generally suffer from poor sales and noncash write-offs if prices are below $4 ptcf. This has slowed the company's recovery after overextending itself financially in the mid-2000s to acquire what was once prime real estate. Additionally, many lease agreements stipulate that new landlords must develop relatively quickly, which has left management looking for partners and potential buyers for some of its contracts. Asset sales will likely play a large role as new leadership looks to clean up the balance sheet. Recently, it was announced that the company will receive just over $1 billion from Sinopec, the state-backed Chinese oil giant, to execute a joint venture in the Mississippi Lime. Also, this year's natural gas hedge ratio has been raised to 50% of production from 11% last year and 85% for oil production, which is up by 16% from 2012 hedges. Extra protection creates a more stable cash flow, which should support a higher stock valuation.
Lately, low natural gas prices have provided headwinds for the entire industry. We expect negative reserve growth to complicate Chesapeake's goal of solving the funding gap. Therefore, it is likely that recovery will take some time. However, since the perception of ill-equipped management has been addressed and last quarter's report showed promise, we are left viewing shares of Chesapeake with a bit more optimism.
For those interested in learning more about Chesapeake's prospects, along with the particular investment merits of the stock, subscribers are encouraged to review our full report in The Value Line Investment Survey.

Roane County's ongoing school debate brings to mind a story shared by writer Tony Hillerman.
As a youth in Depression-era Oklahoma, Hillerman worked for an old farmer known for his generosity. When less honorable neighbors took advantage of the old man's kindness, young Tony was enraged.
In response, the old man advised: "Son, if you don't forgive your enemies, you're going to run out of friends."

LumineersFor an appointment call our office today at 870-246-2242 or Make an Appointment
Lumineers may be suitable for teeth that are chipped or cracked, stained or discolored, misshapen, worn or slightly crowded. They're digitally designed to be ultra-thin (about as thin as a contact lens), so they can be applied seamlessly over your teeth to deliver a natural looking smile. This technique is best used with patients who have spacing in their smile and only minor tooth rotations.
Lumineers are a popular veneer option because they are a "minimal preparation" or "no-preparation" procedure. Lumineers do not require the dentist to grind, cut or file down any tooth structure for proper placement. The veneers are adhesively bonded to the facial (front) surface of the teeth, making the process as much of a minimally invasive procedure as possible.
The Lumineers Two-Visit Process
After your initial consultation, your dentist will take an impression of your upper and lower teeth and send the mold to a laboratory along with photos and other records that ensure the very best results for you. Unlike traditional veneers, there is typically no need for extensive drilling, shots or acrylic temporaries.
On your next visit, generally a couple weeks later, your dentist will place your Lumineers. Before they're bonded in place, it's important to try them on to ensure a good fit. Teeth are then moderately etched (covered with a protective coating) to prepare for placement and then bonded one by one.
Ask about Lumineers at Arkadelphia Dental Care by calling us at 870-246-2242.

Since acknowledging use of human growth hormone as a player, Andy Pettitte resumed his career, retired for a year, unretired and started a comeback with the New York Yankees.
Mark McGwire, another former star who admitted using performance-enhancing drugs, is back in baseball as a hitting coach with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Barry Bonds, baseball's all-time home run leader, has moved on from his crisis. Accused of perjury and obstruction of justice about his alleged steroid use, the former slugger last year was convicted only on the obstruction charge and sentenced to 30 days under house arrest, 250 hours of community service, a $4,000 fine and two years of probation.
That leaves Roger Clemens as the last baseball player standing for potential public reproach.
In what could close the final chapter of baseball's steroids era, Clemens begins his federal perjury trial into six felony counts this week in Washington, D.C. He is accused of lying to Congress about his steroid use and obstruction.
In many ways, baseball has moved past the steroid era.
"I would say at this point we're certainly on the down slope of the media frenzy that was the steroids era," former Astros catcher Brad Ausmus said. "I think baseball's done a good job of putting together a program that's one of the toughest in all of sports. I think the fans and players realize that and they're tired of reading about it. They just want to play baseball."
The testing program twice caught slugger Manny Ramirez, leading to his retirement, and then Ryan Braun, the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player. However, Braun's 50-game suspension was overturned in part because his sample wasn't shipped to a lab in the time frame required.
A homer per game
Meanwhile, baseball's power surge hasn't completely gone away since testing began.
Statistical analyst Jay Jaffe, a senior columnist at Baseball Prospectus, studied the difference in home run stats before and after steroids testing in 2005. Using seven-year samples, he found a slight decrease in home runs per game from an average of 1.1 from 1998-2004 to 1.01 since testing began.
Although Jaffe argues anecdotal and scientific evidence suggest factors such as ballpark sizes, physics and even the actual baseballs contributed to increased home run totals during the steroid era, the home run trend started to spike in 1994.
Until then, the 1987 season was the only year in baseball history when teams averaged more than one home run per game. From 1994-2009, however, teams exceeded a homer a game every year.
Whatever the case, it's clear baseball and Clemens' peers are ready to move on.
"Let's get past this," Ausmus said. "For me with Roger, it's more of a personal level. I just want him to get past this stage in his life and move forward."
Public opinion tainted
Pettitte, who along with Clemens was mentioned in the Mitchell Report that detailed use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, resumed his career without many repercussions after he admitted using PEDs twice in his career, including once with the Astros in 2004.
Unfortunately for some of the game's biggest stars of the steroids era, they continue to strike out in the court of public opinion. McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro have been spurned by the Baseball Writers' Association of America members who have enough tenure to vote for the Hall of Fame.
Despite 3,020 hits and 569 home runs, Palmeiro was left off 501 of the 573 ballots submitted for this year's class in his second year of eligibility. McGwire did a little better in his sixth year on the ballot, but his 112 votes still fell 318 shy of induction.
"I think the voters have already judged that era, not just with McGwire but particularly Palmeiro," said Bob Nightengale, a longtime Hall of Fame voter and USA Today baseball columnist. He is credited with writing the first major story about steroid use in baseball in 1995.
Working at the Los Angeles Times, Nightengale exposed the suspicion of steroids in baseball in a piece in which then-San Diego Padres general manager Randy Smith and eventual Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn addressed the issue.
'Secret' exposed in 1995
"We all know there's steroid use, and it's definitely become more prevalent," Smith, the son of former Astros executive Tal Smith, said in the 1995 story. "The ballplayers all know the dangers of it. We preach it every year. But because there's so much money to be made these days, guys are willing to pay the price now and will pay the piper later."
In that same piece, Gwynn told Nightengale, "It's like the big secret we're not supposed to talk about."
Three years after that piece, McGwire was on steroids when he and Sammy Sosa captivated the country while shattering Roger Maris' single-season home run record. In 2001, Bonds broke McGwire's record.
Bonds has never admitted to using steroids while setting the all-time home run record. His conviction last year — not for steroid use but for obstructing an investigation — grew out of the federal investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, which also tainted the careers of Jason Giambi and several other athletes.
Hall the litmus test
The next Hall of Fame ballot is considered the first one to truly put the steroids era under the microscope. Bonds, Clemens and Sosa will be on the ballot for the first time.
Despite his role in exposing baseball's dirty steroids secret, Nightengale is ready to dispassionately judge players by their stats when the next Hall ballot arrives at his home in December.
"I think voters will treat this ballot the same but that in coming years the true superstars like Clemens and Bonds get in," Nightengale said. "I will vote both of them first ballot."

Personal Motto: This too shall pass. Applicable to everything from financial markets to life in general.
Where did you go to school? Wellesley College for one year before I transferred to Cornell University.
What was your first job? My first post-college paying job was as a trainee in General Electric's Financial Management Program in Hong Kong. It's a 2-year rotation program and I started off in Appliances, where I compiled monthly reports on sales and margins. I would sit in meetings where management talked about how "we promised Jack we'd reach xx% growth this quarter" and I'd wonder, who is this Jack person?
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? A hairdresser, then a writer, then a sportscaster. Funny that my current job sometimes feels like a mash up of all 3, what with resolving on-air hair issues and writing up elaborate box scores of the trading day.
What was your proudest day at work? There've been so many, since I've worked at Bloomberg since 1997 (on the print side in Hong Kong and then in New York). Covering the Asian financial crisis that year was a big one. Then after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. markets were closed so Asia was among the first to react--I edited a lot of that coverage. I moved back to NY a year later and joined the Bloomberg TV team in 2007--just in time for the market to set its all-time high and then crash a year later.
What was your biggest screw up at work? This was before Jon Erlichman moved to San Francisco. I was on air and he almost walked into the shot. Ever the pro, he caught himself, and then dropped to all fours to get past the cameras on set. Watching him stealthily crawl around the cameras while reading a serious story on air, I almost lost it.
Favorite Book? Whatever I'm reading at the moment. I've just started Game of Thrones.
What do you collect (by accident or design)? The funny things my kids say -- I write them all down in a notebook. The latest was when my 6-year old told his grandparents, "The market is down. It's because Greece has no money."
What can't you leave home without? Comfortable shoes--beat up sneakers, flip flops, etc. Confession: when reporting from the NYSE, I'm definitely in my sneakers!
What's sitting on your nightstand right now? Earplugs, eyemask, vitamins, 2 bottles of water, pens, iPad, magazines.
What's your pet peeve? Long meetings
Favorite place to be alone? On the Metro-North train home. I leave before rush hour starts (because I'm in at work at 4am), so it's usually a long, quiet ride.
Favorite place/person to get advice? My mother-in-law in California. Work stuff? It's Al Mayers, head of Bloomberg Radio.
What do you eat for breakfast? First breakfast at 4am: instant oatmeal. Second breakfast at 8am: toasted bagel w/ butter OR leftovers from the previous night's dinner. Everyone at work has seen me carrying a plate full of pasta back to my desk before the market opens.
What's your favorite way to get some exercise? Ballet barre-based exercise classes. I don't like it while I'm doing it, but I like how I feel afterwards.
Do you have a nickname? If so, what is it? Any variation on the word scar: Scar, Scarface, Scarfu
Wall Street Journal or Financial Times? I switch between the two. For awhile, I was getting FT delivered to my house, but then that expired. Now, I have both on my iPad and phone.

Why use New Era
New Era is a debt settlement company that helps people dramatically reduce their debt obligation and become debt-free. Since 1999, we have settled over $200,000,000 in debt for our clients.
New Era offers you a fast and ethical route to becoming debt free. Once you know that debt settlement is the best debt relief option for you, it helps to have a winner on your side. Here are just a few reasons why New Era is your best choice.- Irene,Divorced Engineer
It was very hard to call. I had never needed help in my life..When I did they were kind and helped me…I'm glad I went through it.
Debt settlement basics
Debt Settlement Reduces Your Balance – Not Just Your Interest Rate
Debt settlement is really nothing more than good old-fashioned haggling. Through the process of negotiation, debt owners or their debt settlement company arrange to pay back a portion of the debt. The creditor forgives the balance in a transaction called a "settlement."
Debt Savings Calculator
How Much Can You Save?
To find out how long and how much it will take to pay off your actual debt, fill in your totals and click Calculate. For multiple credit cards, use the total balance and average interest rate.
What are your options?
Today it's quite common for families – and individuals – to carry $20,000, $30,000, even $50,000 or more of credit card or other unsecured debt. Most of us are optimistic by nature, and since it's normal to experience financial ups and downs in life, many people just ignore the problem and hope things get better down the road.
Unlike debt consolidation or credit counseling where you pay back the full balance on your debts, debt negotiation requires that you pay back only a portion of the balance. This can make a huge difference in how quickly you pay off your balance.

Metal Shelving
Having enough shelving in an office is essential if you want to have places to store all your files, books, directories and the many other items that would otherwise be cluttering up desks. Metal shelving is ideal for the purpose because it doesn't just look good in a working environment, it's also hard-wearing and robust enough to carry a lot of weight.
Many of our metal shelving units also have the advantage of being fully modular so you can add to existing shelving whenever you find yourself needing some extra storage space. Or, if you're shelving is going to be on display in an office, and not behind a wall or in a store cupboard, we offer wood-effect options for a stylish look.
All of our metal shelves are self-assembly units and are quick and easy to put together. This also means they're easy to dismantle when you're having an office move-around or maybe even changing premises.
Metal not your thing? Need clear, transparent, lightweight and stackable containers? Then have a look at our line of plastic storage boxes.

Chicken with Spanish Chorizo
- Serves 4
- Brian Streeter
- Pairs well with:
- Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, Pinot Noir, Two Creeks Anderson Valley, Pinot Noir, Apple Barn Vineyard Anderson Valley , Pinot Noir, Annahala Ranch Anderson Valley
Chef Brian Streeter shares his zesty dish for easy dinner or as a great side dish. If you are not familiar with Spanish Chorizo, it's not like the Mexican variety. It is a hard sausage, much like a salami or pepperoni, usually seasoned with paprika and is made from chunks of pork. Enjoy this dish with our Cakebread Cellars Pinot Noir.
1 small chicken, cut into 8 pieces
salt and pepper
2 T. olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 red pepper, minced
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp. tomato paste
1/2 c. white wine
1 1/2 c. chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 oz. Spanish chorizo, minced
2 thyme sprigs
Preheat oven to 350°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a wide bottom pan over high heat, add the olive oil and sear the chicken pieces on all sides until evenly brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion, pepper and garlic, turn the heat to medium and sauté until vegetables are soft and reduced in volume by ¾, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomato paste, chorizo, thyme sprigs and wine and reduce by half. Return the legs, thighs and wings to the pan with enough chicken stock to come half way up the sides of the chicken. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the middle of the oven. Cook for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and add the breast meat pieces from the chicken. Return to the oven, uncovered and continue cooking for another 10 to 12 minutes. If sauce seems too thin, remove the chicken from the pan and return the pan to the top of the stove. Reduce to a sauce consistency. Spoon over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.

Hello Everyone,
This site has quieted down, what happened?
I popped over to give an update to the tank and found the thread has been closed.
Hard to believe its been 4 years now.
The Good:
LEDZeal lights have worked flawlessly for 4 years and couldn't be happier with them.
Reeflo pump has worked with no issues except for a pump seal change a couple times - LOVE these pumps.
I have been using the JEBAO Wavemakers for years now and they have just started to make some sounds so I just replace them with Quiet Pumps, hopefully they work as well as the Jebaos.
Fish have done well
Corals have not

So, at last i decided to make his favourite kueh to bring along...the "Ondeh-Ondeh".
Its been a long long time i've since made this kueh. Let me see.....i think it was about 20 years ago. No joking larr.....really 20 years!!! That time i was just a teenager, having some cooking fun at my friends house..haha! Wow!! Really a long time ago huh...;p Yes, i still keep the recipe but with some slight changes. (mix and match with the recipe book i have now)....
The result ha.....yea, nice! But the filling inside was not much, due to the wrapping skill...hee hee!
Will make these again in 2 days time for my aunty, who we will celebrate the lantern festival with, coming weekend. So i must make sure the filling inside is full enough this time!
Here's the recipe.....
210ml Water
10pcs pounded Pandan leaves
1 tbsp Tapioca flour
85ml Water
300g Glutinuos flour
120g mashed Pumpkin / orange sweet potatoes (i used pumpkin here)
1 tbsp Sugar
* 150-200g Palm sugar (grated) - Filling
* 1 Grated coconut - Coating
~ Bring to boil the (A) and strain. Keep aside
~ Steamed the pumpkin / sweet potatoes for about 5-8 minutes until soft and mashed.
~ Mix well the Glutiniuos rice flour, sugar and mashed pumpkin/ sweet potatoes from ingredients (C)
~ Boil (B), the 85ml water with 1 tbsp tapioca flour over low heat, stirring till almost transparent.
~ Pout the tapioca mixture immediately into (C), stir and mix well while slowly add in the (A) to form a smooth dough. (if the dough is too soft, add in glutinous flour)
~ Bring to boil at least half pot of water, then take a small portion of dough and wrap in the grated palm sugar, seal properly and roll into a ball, and put into the boiling water after wrapped.
~ When the balls surfaces, keep boiling for another 1-2 minutes, remove and roll over the fresh grated coconut, and serve!
The texture is very nice...very "Q" ...as in mandarine....hee hee :) Oh about the colour here, its the original colourfrom the pumpkin. No colour added here! If you like it to be green like the one selling outside, do use the white sweet potatoes to replace the pumpkin, but have to steam alittle longer. Then add a few drops of green colouring. But why not just the original colour from the tasty and fresh pumpkins / orange sweet potatoes?? Try it out!

Halloween Pandan Ricotta Cookies with Carrot Icing
This recipe was inspired by a recipe that Giada DeLaurentiis made on her cooking show Everyday Italian. Ricotta in cookies may seem strange, but it makes the cookies oh-so moist and chewy. Giada made lemon ricotta cookies with a lemon glaze, but I thought it would be fun to modify the recipe for Halloween.
I added pandan to the batter to give the cookies a spooky green tint. After baking, I covered the cookies with a carrot glaze. The orange color really evokes Halloween. To finish the cookies, I sprinkled on some orange, green and black Halloween sprinkles.
This Halloween, while the kids are over-loading on sugar from too many cloyingly sweet candy bars, the grown-ups can have something to enjoy, too.
Yields: 42 cookies2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons pandan paste (see tips)
15 ounces ricotta cheese (1-1/2 cups)
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons fresh carrot juice
1/3 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup Halloween sprinkle toppings
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with 1/3 cup of sugar for about 5 minutes. You'll get a pale yellow foam and the texture of the egg yolk will be thicker. Add the brown sugar and ricotta cheese.
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Sift all the dry ingredients.
Cream the butter with the remaining sugar (whisk using a standmixer to get as much air as possible in the butter). Add the egg mixture and the dry ingredients. Add the pandan paste. It will bring a distinct green color to the dough. Mix well.
Place a silicon mat or a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Place the cookie dough about 2 tablespoons at a time onto the prepared baking sheet (or use a cookie scoop). Make sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart so that they don't touch each other as they will expand when they bake.
Bake the cookies for 20 minutes. Don't over bake them; you want them to be moist and chewy. Remove from the oven.
Layer a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet (for easy clean-up of the carrot icing). Transfer the cookies onto the cooling rack.
In a bowl, dissolve the carrot juice in powdered sugar. Add the ground ginger. Set aside.
Drizzle each cookie with 3/4 teaspoon of carrot icing and top with the Halloween sprinkles.
Let the carrot icing harden completely for about 2 hours.
Bon appétit!
Make fresh ginger apple celery carrot juice with the remaining carrot juice.
I buy Koepoe-Koepoe brand pastes. There are rose, mocha and pandan flavors. You can find them in Asian stores or at VeryAsia.com.
Sifting dry ingredients helps get rid of nasty lumps of flour and aerates the mixture when liquid is added. It's very important for all your baking so you get a moist result.
To guarantee quality baked goods, use the best butter you can find.
You can also freeze the tray for at least one hour, then transfer the cookie dough balls into bags that you vacuum-seal and place back in the freezer. I think it's the best way to keep the same flavor without getting freezer burn. I keep them exactly the same way I would do with extra pesto. You can store them up to 2 months in the freezer for last minute surprise guests.

- hotel kakslauttanen igloo villageA romantic night under the stars is one thing, but a crystal clear view of the Northern Lights from your own private igloo is definitely another treat entirely. The Igloo Village of Hotel Kakslauttanen in Finland boasts 20 thermal glass igloos that allow visitors to enjoy incredible views of the Aurora Borealis from the warmth and comfort of their own hut.1
- Hotel Kakslauttanen igloo villageNestled in the wilderness near Finland's Urho Kekkonen National Park, Hotel Kakslauttanen has one of the Arctic Circle's best views of the Aurora Borealis. The sparse trees and complete lack of light pollution reveal millions of stars each night, and during the peak winter months the location offers incredible views of the Northern Lights.2
- hotel kakslauttanen igloo villageEach glass igloo is fitted with thermal glass walls and ceilings, that insulate the interior to keep it warm and cozy at night. The glass also contains a frost preventative, maintaining crystal clear panoramic views even when temperatures outside drop to -22 degrees fahrenheit.3
- hotel kakslauttanen igloo villageFitted for two people, the igloos are small enough to be efficiently heated without consuming too much energy.4
- hotel kakslauttanen igloo villageOne of the world's seven natural wonders, Aurora Borealis results from the collision of gaseous particles from the earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun. The resulting burst of colored light can last from less than a second to nearly two minutes. Though the lights are visible from August to April, the peak viewing time is in the darkness of the winter months.5
- Hotel Kakslauttanen igloo villageAlthough the hotel does not guarantee a view of the Northern Lights, they keep constant watch over the weather conditions and ring a signaling bell for visitors to look to the sky when the phenomenon is visible.6
- Hotel Kakslauttanen igloo villageFor the more adventurous, the hotel also offers lodging in a dozen traditional igloos made of ice. These ice houses have an internal temperature of only 21 degrees fahrenheit, so you better pack warm!7


text: It's rainy out today. A tough subject to capture well in paint, but frank ryan has done it beautifully here. I love this painting because it's so common and modern and a bit scary. Yet it's what we do everyday. Great art like this reminds me of reality, especially when I've forgotton how weird it can be. I like it when that happens.

It seems that K-Swiss and Limited Sports get to share the hunky walking billboard that is Tommy Haas.
The German company's monogrammed hat and wristbands are hanging around (we thought they were lost forever!) while K-Swiss outfits Tommy with the Bamboo Side Print Crew. Yep, it's a shirt that's 66% bamboo. Apparently, the plant's fibers have good moisture-wicking and antibacterial qualities.
Scoreline: Haas lost to David Ferrer 6-3, 6-0 in the first round of the Dubai tournament.
Buy: K-Swiss Bamboo Shirt, $36.99.

Sociology & Education
In the Department of Education Policy & Social Analysis
Welcome to the Program in Sociology and Education
Sociology was the first social science discipline to develop a basic framework for the study of education, complementing long-established perspectives rooted in psychology and philosophy. Sociology is both solidly theoretical and highly relevant to policy and practice in education. The sociological study of education began at Teachers College in the first decade of the twentieth century. Since then, our Sociology and Education Program has educated aspiring researchers, policy makers, school leaders, and teachers to use sociological theories and research findings as they analyze educational problems and seek to have an impact in solving those problems.
Doctor of Education (Ed.D.)
The coursework for the Ed.D., which totals a minimum of 90 points, has seven components: basic social research design and methods, advanced social research design and methods, social theory, core coursework in the sociology of education, seminars and colloquia, coursework in the social context of teaching and learning, and elective courses.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
The coursework for the Ph.D., which totals a minimum of 75 points, has seven components: social theory, basic social research design and methods, advanced social research design and methods, foundational coursework in sociology, core coursework in the sociology of education, seminars and colloquia, and elective courses.

Grass grows in June just like it should have in May, says Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist.
Usually, pasture grasses grow best in May, but not this year. Cool weather slowed growth.
Haymaking came up short this year, Kallenbach says. But in June, with moisture and warmer weather, the grass grows 80 pounds dry matter per day per acre. That's up from 40 pounds or less in May.
June and May have reversed, Kallenbach said on a weekly MU Extension teleconference with area agronomists.
Craig Roberts, MU fescue specialist, said in some cases mowed hayfields didn't have enough leaves to rake to bale.
By mid-June most years, cool-season gasses go into a summer slump with arrival of hot, dry weather.
Pat Guinan, MU climatologist, sees more rain in the week ahead-and possibly longer. That should be good for forage and crop growth. Temperatures will continue to rise, reaching seasonal levels.
For people, humidity will increase discomfort levels.
After two sunny days, the forecast calls for rain over most of the state. Rainfall should average an inch or more in most areas.
Heavy rains, especially in northern Missouri, showed it could rain again, after a winterlong dry spell. "Subsoil moistures are low," Guinan says. "There isn't much reserve. Rains every week are needed for good pasture and crop growth."
A small area centered on Unionville in Putnam County on the Iowa state line had more than 13 inches of rain. However, not all areas got precipitation. Dry areas center on a line in the east central area from Moberly to Paris, Missouri.
Salem, Missouri, in the Ozarks, is a center for a dry area.
In answer to a question, Guinan said, "Yes, this could be the first sign of an El Nino effect."
El Nino, which includes higher water temperatures in the mid-Pacific Ocean, can mean more summer rainfall in the Midwest.
"I don't see any drought like we had in 2012," he adds.
"If it seemed cloudier than usual, it has been," Guinan says. Eight of the first 16 days of June were cloudy. Solar radiation ran about half maximum potential.
Lack of sun reduced hay baling, Kallenbach says. "The second cutting of alfalfa should be harvested, but may not be. It's tough to make hay when we get rain every day."
Fescue seed harvest has started. However, production is expected to be lower than usual. Prolonged cool weather not only reduced leaf growth, but also seed head filling.
Brent Meyers, small grain specialist, said cold and even freezing weather late in the spring may account for wheat with empty or half-filled seed heads.
Wet weather may head off a potential outbreak of grasshoppers. "We're seeing a lot of immature grasshoppers, up to 50 per square foot," said Wayne Bailey, MU Extension entomologist.
"If you see that many, it's time to spray," he adds. "Grasshoppers are easier to kill when they are small."
But with wet weather, fungal diseases can curtail the hoppers. "If it turns hot and dry, watch out," Bailey says. "As grass dries up, grasshoppers move into crops."
Keep scouting the borders of crop, Bailey advises. "We are in the sixth year of the grasshopper cycle. Numbers could peak this year."

The symbolism of the Rainbow Warrior's return to her spiritual home.
As the sun rose on 2013, the new Rainbow Warrior sailed for New Zealand: first stop a tribute to her sister ship, sunk in Matauri Bay.
It's time for the Rainbow's return, because 2013 marks another time of defiance, a fight for our country's soul.
Greenpeace lost the first ship, and Fernando Pereira's life, in 1985. The protest for a nuclear-free Pacific and New Zealand cost us something. It strained US relations, blew ANZUS apart.
It also made us leaders on nuclear disarmament; it made us free, and proud. We loved Lange's Oxford Union quip ("I can smell the uranium ..."). He was defiant, witty, a bit of a mongrel, mocking the American. He was us as we like to see ourselves. He won the debate.
In 2013, we need a government proud of our story. We need to remember what the story is.
We've been here before, at the tail end of the Muldoon era: grappling with what it means to be a New Zealander.
When rugby fans clashed with anti-apartheid protestors in 1981, our national sport met that deep-rooted egalitarian part of the Kiwi psyche - the part that backs the little guy, maybe because, so often, we are the little guy.
Among our proudest, most cherished moments are those in which Kiwis have stood up against bullies, or for the underdog; or times when we were, ourselves, the underdog, making history in our own laconic style.
Sporting moments: Jack Lovelock, streaking away in the shadow of the swastika at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
Adventurers: Ed Hillary "knocking the bastard off" on Everest; riding his renovated Massey Ferguson to the Pole.
Yachtsman Sir Peter Blake at the helm in huge seas, and bringing us all together round the telly in red socks.
Social pioneers, Kate Sheppard among them.
As campaigners, and environmental guardians, this is our story. In a way, it's about suffrage - giving voice to nature - but the point is, it's about New Zealand.
Not long after all those big-bang things people remember were happening in the 1980s - the Springbok uproar, the French testing, the Warrior's bombing, our time to stop for "a cuppa" - the Lange-Palmer Government drafted a set of laws that are part of the story. Nuclear-free was the least of these. We started a new way of thinking about our public conservation lands and resource management.
Those laws, the Resource Management Act among them, are now under threat - and with them trees in our communities, swimmable rivers, clean beaches.
Sir Peter Blake died an environmental advocate and campaigner, writing shortly before his death of his anger at how profit was being put first. In 2010 - when 50,000 people filled Queen St for our national parks, holding banners that read "not mine, ours" - we were saying the same.
The Key/National Government has not honoured any of the parts of this story.
Beyond Brash's fumbling on the nuclear issue, the Prime Minister's poor recollection of what, if anything, he stood for in 1981, bad choices in 2012 left us slipping in world environmental rankings, internationally embarrassed, reneging on international laws, conventions signed, promises made. Ministers tried tiptoeing away from our winning brand - estimated as worth US$13.6 billion - saying they would write a New Zealand story.
This story that the government is busy writing is not about New Zealand. A New Zealand story would be about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Brave enough, like Lange, to say that something stank, Dr Mike Joy was dubbed a traitor. Instead, ministers personally attacked their critics, calling them anti-jobs, "deeply unhelpful", and "not really New Zealand". "Carping and moaning" Cantabrians were silenced altogether - Environment Canterbury's vote the price of irrigation development.
We need brave pioneers and leaders now. Failing that, it's time for democracy - to stand up for our values, to march like we did in 2010 and 1981, to speak out like the 341,159 signatories to the Maruia Declaration, who called a halt to native forest destruction in 1975, and started a new chapter in what was until then a sad history of post-colonial stewardship.
The New Zealand story actually is one in which, hobbit-like, we do go on adventures - a story whose heroes are reluctantly cast, and don't welcome the applause, but stand against the odds for who we are, what we believe, and how we want the world to be.

I've been trying to find a good sized image of the woman and the beast facing each other to use as a wallpaper... and bam... It's right on the front page of the CryGaia site.
Awesome stuff.
Here's a link to Ragnar Tornquist's personal site.. He updates about his different projects and, certainly, will be updating about TSW there...
Can we see your wallpaper when you finish? Pretty please??
Great link, I'll add it above thanks.
And remember, there are no heroes!
Ahhh it's nothing fancy.
Just that one pic with a border and some noise around it to make it fit my desktop nicely. 3 minute Photoshop job.
There's no official logo yet, or I'd have that on it as well.
I remember there was some great wallpapers made when the game was first revealed. I'm hoping to see some more now that we have more info and pics.
Not a wallpaper, but a very neat piece of TSW art;
That's a cool pic. I think someone did make it into a wallpaper way back when the official forums opened. Maybe I'll dig around there and see if I can find a link.
I'll certainly try but I can't promise anything!
You know THEY are always watching...
On shareholder report:
Beta fourth quater of 2009? Also they have some other MMO under development...
Also, team of TSW seems to be 80 people.

Found from FC's fourth quater report
TY for the links :-)
Keep the thread updated if you find more.
Could we make it a sticky thread plz and just add links to it .... that would be nice
Thank you for the sticky mods.

Heard about TSW a few days ago for the first time.
Then I find this post, this is great,
Thanks Paks for keeping it up to date.
Played: UO, SWG, TR, WoW, AoC, EvE
Interested in: JGE, LotR, TSW
Thanks! I'm laggin a tad but still trying to keep things updated
Good deal of information here, but the forums at the official website have added additional information. I cannot wait to hear more about this game, but information is sooooo slow to come out. Anyways great starter info.
valuable information that you share to us thank you for sharing !
this thread desperately needs an update
here is an excelent source of info for people who are interested in TSW but don't have the time to learn about it:
Info for people that don't follow TSW everyday... !!
it is more updated than the current info on the OP
May 11th Friday at 9 AM PDT is when the weekend Templar beta event ("Kingsmouth Calling") officially starts. There is no NDA covering this event after it starts, so feel free to tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers, anyone who will listen about your experiences. Screenshots and videos are welcome. From what I have heard, we are going to have a few streams up by various members of the community as well. Also, feel free to discuss things regarding the weekend beta event in the newly created subforum
(Q) How do I know what beta test I am in?
(A) If you got an e-mail concerning a date that is not May 11th or not about the beta weekends at all then chances are you got into the closed beta test and should not be posting about it on these forums. As mentioned above, you need to contact customer support and/or find the link to the closed beta forums from your account (which, again, is under the links portion of your account page titled 'beta forums'...) to get assistance.
Furthermore, it says on your account page what kind of beta test you are involved in... whether it is closed beta or the public weekend event. Or...both. It is clearly labeled.
the closed beta (cb) is still under nda, u not supposed to talk about it.
the cb client is a different download than the 11.4 GB weekend beta (after patching 26.8 GB).
The press beta was last Tuesday.

Oh my GOD that is beautiful.
The X-Tended Mod is a large addition to the existing X3:Reunion universe and is the only major mod (as of the 26th May 2010) that has been hosted by the creators of X3:Reunion, Egosoft, on their own servers. (Only 2 mods have been hosted by Egosoft in total.) Many of the ships and ideas from XTM were added to the next game by Egosoft - X3:Terran Conflict. A lot of the XTM team also worked with Egosoft in creating Terran Conflict. This mod massively expands the universe and the game itself, adding over 90 new ships, almost doubling the size of the universe, plus adding many new missions, stations, and things to find.

If there are summer positions available, does that not indicate there are jobs in general.
Both schools im considering would be at 10k / year
Hold it there: no one said it was a bad investment for everyone at T14s. If you think I exaggerated, please tell these people where I exaggerated. Obviously there are people in T14s who, because of either exceptional grades or because of a good family, get jobs
Well I dropped out of law school and was enrolling in the MBA program, but when I asked the MBA admissions dean at my school for a guarantee that I would be paid 100k at graduation and get a sweet corner office she said she couldn't guarantee it? I guess if you get an M.B.A. you also have to look for a job at graduation and not everybody becomes a C.E.O right when they graduate and some even have a hard time finding a job so I hear. Well although I am not in law school anymore, at least I have my B.A. and paralegal certificate and that at least guarantees me a job as a paralegal right? However, I seem to remember when I graduated with that two years ago it took me 2 months to find a job and the first one I got did not pay me 6 figures and they made me do actual work and some of the things they made me do I did nto enjoy, can you believe it! I remember at times feeling underpaid and sometimes like I would rather be doing something else than working. Can you believe that I actually had a job where I felt I was not making enough money and I didn't love every single second of it!?!? I know everyone one that doesn't have a J.D. sits around saying how much they love their job and that they are making way to much money. I have never heard anyone other than lawyers complaint about their job, so at least I am glad I am going not down the J.D. path I would hate to risk feeling that I was underpaid and not getting amazing assignments all the time and having the flexibility to just say I don't want to deal with something that is inconvenient or god forbid not everything handed to me. Thank god for this great economy and employers handing out sweet, easy, and high-paying jobs to people as long as they don't get a J.D. I hear it is way to better drop out of school in about 8th grade work for McDonald's for a few years then show up and get a 6 figure salary.
Quote Hold it there: no one said it was a bad investment for everyone at T14s. If you think I exaggerated, please tell these people where I exaggerated. Obviously there are people in T14s who, because of either exceptional grades or because of a good family, get jobs This is really a matter of opinion, so I can't really prove anything one way or another. However, I just think that your characterization of situation is generally worse than it really is. While many of my friends here at GULC missed out on biglaw due to the economy, almost everyone I know has something reasonably good lined up post graduation- or are at least getting plenty of interviews. Plenty of people (at least 3Ls) got biglaw despite the economy with good, but not spectacular grades and no particular family ties (myself included). I agree that it's bad, just not armageddon. I also disagree with the characterization of law school as a "Scam" in general. It may be a bad deal for some, but there's no malice going on. I do agree that for-profit law schools are dangerously close to that line though.
Lawschool is the easiest thing that I have ever done in my entire life. What the hell are you talking about?
