(scanned from original)
January 12-16, 1999 Oakland, CA
Welcome to the Seventh Contractor-Grantee Workshop sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) Human Genome Program (HGP). This workshop provides a unique opportunity for HGP investigators to discuss and share the successes, problems, and challenges of their research as well as new material resources and software capabilities. The meeting also provides scientists and administrative staff with an overview of the program's progress and content, a chance to assess the impact of new technologies, and, perhaps most important, a forum for initiating new collaborations.
We hope you will take advantage of opportunities offered by this meeting and by the beautiful surroundings of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay area. We also hope you will visit the DOE Joint Genome Institute's new Production Sequencing Facility (PSF) in Walnut Creek. This facility is scheduled to be opened officially in the spring by the Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson.
The 193 abstracts in this booklet describe the most recent activities and accomplishments of grantees and contractors funded by DOE's long-running human and microbial genome programs, as well as early efforts in model organism and functional genomics research. In addition, we have included talks from invited guests who will discuss related efforts in other species and opportunities for postgenomic biological investigations enabled by genome research. All projects funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER) will be represented at poster sessions at the Oakland Marriott Hotel, so you will have the opportunity to meet with researchers. New informatics resources also will be demonstrated during the poster sessions, and I urge you to take full advantage of them.
The main challenge facing the genome program today remains high-throughput sequencing. Two years ago, DOE addressed this challenge by forming the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), under the direction of Elbert Branscomb. JGI employs the complementary strengths of DOE's three largest genome programs and those at other laboratories and universities to make more efficient and effective use of diverse expertise and resources.
In the past year, we gave JGI two very challenging and difficult tasks:
JGI has met both of those ambitious goals. As of October 23, 1998, it had submitted to GenBank a total of 21 Mb, all with Phred/Phrap values of 40 or greater. This represents a tenfold increase over the amount of DNA sequenced by all three DOE genome centers in the previous year; currently, the sequencing rate averages 3 Mb per month. And, as noted, PSF is open, halfway between the Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories. PSF's goal this year is 40 Mb, a doubling of last year's yield.
Also last October, the U.S. Human Genome Project completed and published in Science its third 5-year plan, developed jointly with the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute. This plan was achieved with input from the broad genome scientific community. Although many challenges lie ahead, particularly in anticipating and preparing for the "postgenomic" world, we are more optimistic than ever about the success of this grand project and its many contributions to science and society. Yet we cannot afford to be complacent, either, and the workshop speakers on the ethical, legal, and social implications will remind and challenge all of us that our science has societal impacts and we cannot be aloof and disengaged from those interactions.
There are other genomes to sequence besides the human, and the OBER Microbial Genome Program continues to contribute complete sequences to public databases. Each microbial sequence has its surprises and its exciting science. One of the more exciting sequences completed in 1998 was the entire 3-Mb sequence of Deinococcus radiodurans, the most radio-resistant microbe yet known; its astounding DNA-repair capacities represent longstanding and continuing high-priority DOE interests and the opportunity, perhaps through genetic engineering of toxin-degrading enzyme systems, to address DOE's mission of mixed-waste remediation. This achievement also underscores the opportunity to exploit the interdisciplinary biological approaches that we view as important guiding principles for the science we support. We must continue to take responsibility for using our science to better our world.
We anticipate a very interesting and productive meeting and offer our sincere thanks to all the organizers and to you, the scientists whose vision and efforts have realized and continue to realize the promises of genome research.

While some residents choose to enjoy the retirement life of Sun City, Bob Huff continues to build his resumé. He moved to the Lowcountry 12 years ago, staying busy within Jasper and Beaufort counties.
Huff is one who has done a little bit of everything. Originally from Pennsylvania, he worked with the U.S. Steel Group for 30 years. During those years of his life, Huff sold steel to build several large buildings and ships.
"My favorite accomplishment was making the sell to the United States Coast Guard," Huff said. "I made the sell to build the first ice breaker for the Coast Guard. It was about 300 feet long and I also attended the christening of the ship."
Huff also sold the steel that built the Georgia Dome, Andrews Air Force Base hanger for Air Force One and many Naval destroyer ships.
In 1999, when he settled into Sun City, Huff began volunteering at the West Hardeeville School. He helped Hispanic children with their language skills and decided teaching was something he ought to look into.
Huff took courses at Coastal Carolina University and University of South Carolina to become certified to teach. "I taught first- and second- grade students in music and seventh- and eighth- grade students in careers and computers," Huff said. "Teaching was something I really enjoyed and I still see my students around."
After 12 years with the Jasper County School District, Huff moved to his position at CareCore National. In May, he started to process clinical certification requests for radiological services from physician offices.
Besides continuing his career, Huff also is involved inside the Sun City gates. Since he is a veteran of the U.S. Army, he joined the Sun City Veterans Association. He continued his involvement with the Lions Club.
Previously, Huff served as a district governor for Lions Club International, a board member of several Lions Club charities in different states and serves currently as secretary for the Sun City-Okatie Lions Club.
"Bob is very energetic and dedicated," John Rickert said. "He helps the Sun City-Okatie Lions Club stay involved with the bowling Special Olympics. Bob initiated that the club donate money to the Special Olympics bowling event in honor of Mike Hennsey who was a former member and very involved with bowling."
While Huff continues to stay busy, he still makes time for family. He married his high school sweetheart, Patricia Huff. The Huffs have two grown children. Robert Huff works in the education system in Charlotte. Lori Huff was born deaf but continues to succeed in life.
"It was hard when she was first born with her hands going about in the incubator after she was born," Bob Huff said. "She now lives on her own in Ohio, is a black belt in Taekwondo and a Special Olympian."
While earning his masters from Lesley University, Huff compiled a book of poetry entitled, "Fragments of my Life and other Selected Poetry." In this book, he shares his life story and poems about raising his daughter, Lori.
Huff and his daughter both received the highest award of the Lions Club, the Melvin Jones award.
Despite his busy life, Huff doesn't want to slow down. He enjoys what Sun City offers especially the friendships he has built over the years.
"It is nice to know that I have friendships that are strong and are always there if I need them," Huff said.

Breast Lumps
NetWellness experts receive many questions about breast lumps. Most women these days are very concerned about breast lumps because of the link between this symptom and breast cancer. The good news about breast lumpiness is that it is very common, very normal, and very rarely indicative of a serious condition.
The primary cause of it for pre-menopausal, non pregnant, healthy women is fluctuating hormones. During a month a woman's hormone levels shift and change as an egg develops, is released, and if no conception takes place, is expelled. A change in breast consistency during this process is probably due to water retention and is perfectly normal.
What You Can Do
Talk to your provider – However, if you ever suspect that what you're feeling is different than previous breast lump self-exams, even if you aren't sure, you should see your health care provider. He or she will examine the lump or lumps and may recommend that you wait a month and see if anything changes.
Get tested – If there are no changes over the course of a month, the next step may be one of the following:
- Mammogram
- Breast sonogram
- Breast biopsy
These processes are quick and painless and very much worth the effort. One of these procedures may reveal that the lump or lumps are cysts, fat necrosis (due to injury), resultant of fibrocystic changes (part of the aging process), symptoms of a breast infection (mastitis), symptoms of breast cancer, or nothing at all.
Monthly Breast Self-Exams – Staying familiar with how your breasts normally feel and fluctuate throughout the month by conducting regular breast self-exams is a great way to stay healthy, give yourself some peace of mind, and ensure your continued health in the future. Whatever a visit to the doctor might reveal, it's important to go find out.

What the Internet Looked Like in 1995
In this episode of Computer Chronicles, the team goes in-depth on "The Internet," a trendy topic in 1995. It starts with host Stewart Cheifet in a new-fangled "Cyber Cafe," complete with bulky CRT display and tiny espresso cup -- and its datedness just gets more intense from there. Need to know the best FTP site to download the Mosaic Web browser? John Markoff of the NYT will tell you (he'll also tell you how he gets email from Steve Jobs, and show you how he makes email filters in Eudora). Want to know the inside story of how the geek band Severe Tire Damage streamed (sorry, multicast over the Internet MBone) a concert online? It's all here. Seriously, you guys, this made me guffaw so many times -- not because it's dumb, but because I lived all this stuff and it's shocking to me just how amazing it all was and how extraordinarily dated it now seems. Enjoy:
Sample lines: "Successful home pages could be seen by twenty or thirty thousand people a week." And: "The complexity of programming 'links' can be overwhelming." Also: "I wouldn't put my credit card up until there's security software that will protect the credit card." (Good advice, but...remember when we didn't have secure credit card processing online?)
In the comments, don't forget your Netiquette. (Aggh, it's 1995 again and I'm stuck on Usenet! Meet me on rec.arts.sf.tv.st.tng for some Trek chat. No Spiner Femmes.)

That is the conclusion of a new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study's results suggest that public health recommendations regarding diet and lifestyle to prevent heart disease and diabetes may also decrease a man's likelihood of dying from prostate cancer.
Researchers have little knowledge about possible links between metabolic factors, separately and combined, and men's risk of being diagnosed with or dying from prostate cancer. To investigate, Christel Häggström, MSc, Tanja Stocks, PhD, both of the Umeå University in Sweden, and their colleagues analyzed information from 289,866 men enrolled in a study called the Metabolic syndrome and Cancer project. The analysis was completed under the leadership of Pär Stattin, MD, PhD, a visiting scientist from Umeå University at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
During an average follow-up time of 12 years, 6,673 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 961 died from the disease. Men in the highest categories of body mass index and blood pressure had a 36 percent and 62 percent increased risk of dying from prostate cancer, respectively. Also, when comparing a composite score of all metabolic factors, men with a high score were more likely to die from prostate cancer.
The study found no evidence for a link between high levels of metabolic factors and a man's risk of developing prostate cancer but revealed a link between these factors and his risk of dying from the disease. This suggests that while men with the metabolic syndrome are not more likely than others to develop prostate cancer, if they do develop it, they are more likely than other men to die from the malignancy. "These observations suggest that cardiovascular risk factors such as overweight and hypertension are involved in stimulating the progression of prostate cancer," said Dr. Stattin.
"Prospective study on metabolic factors and risk of prostate cancer." Christel Häggström, Tanja Stocks, David Ulmert, Tone Bjørge, Hanno Ulmer, Göran Hallmans, Jonas Manjer, Anders Engeland, Gabriele Nagel, Martin Almqvist, Randi Selmer, Hans Concin, Steinar Tretli, Håkan Jonsson, Pär Stattin.

After working all week long like a crazy person and being completely out of my mind, I haven't had much time to breathe none the less watch the Royal Wedding, workout or blog. I did tivo it though, and you can bet Sunday night when I get home I'm watching it. Alas, I check my phone mid-day, tired, hungry, overwhelmed and I get these two texts from B.
"I saved the royal wedding for you if you wanted to watch it!"
"it makes me so excited for ours!"
Le sigh. Love, love, love. Now gotta make it through the weekend. Can't wait to catch up on life and see this guy! Deep Breath, onward!

Asked by:
No System Restore or Back Ups, System Admin Perm. or Group Policy issues?
Running Windows 7, Cant get Admin permissions on desktop that I am only person ever on. I am owner, admin both show full control but unable to do simple tasks like Back Ups or System Defrag. or Analyze or Updates of software. There is a app "True Key Password" by McAfee that I can't seem to get rid of any way I try, thats where this all started. I tried to delete through control panel/program uninstall, its not there. In my computer is shows up as "Intel Security True Key". Someone said I need to download McAfee unistall program, but I dont care to get anything from McAfee after this mess.
When I attempt any uninstalls, at the end it needs to restart, then it wont take my password to sign on again. A error message about Group Policy in small print comes up. I re-try my password 10 + times, same password I have had for years, then all of a sudden it goes through and starts up normal. I couldnt get in Safe Mode either. Even after the restart the program is still listed under my programs
All replies
Anti-Virus software is about impossible to uninstall...1st,on pc start,tap the F8 key/normal safe mode/open user account/uncheck Parental Software/exit/in run or cmd type: services.msc in msc,scroll to Parental/double click/set to Disable/exit.Maybe edit others/exit restart pc.Thier is no Intel True Key,its spyware...Also,still in safemode,go to run type: %Temp% Edit/select all/R.click on data/delete all,exit,return to run,type: C:\WINDOWS\Temp
do same,some will not delete as they are in use,4 to 6 items,exit.Return to run type: regedit In regedit expand:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/delete the mcafee crud,& Intel security key,R.click/delete,exit,open HKEY_LOCAL_USER/Software/do same/exit when thru..Return to run,type: CLEANMGR /SAGESET select all,exit,return to run,type: CLEANMGR /SAGERUN use SAGERUN from this point,it deletes more than Diskcleanup.Also,in my computer/search/type in any un wanted software,R.click,delete..Mcafee/AVG/etc take up a lot of pc resources.Best bet,install & run kb890830
Also,open Defender/HELP/check for updates,run defender.Plus,mcafee installs a firewall,as does Windows,uninstall one,both can not run at same time....
There is a possibility that your user profile corrupted.
Open Computer Management, navigate to System Tools->Local Users and Groups->Users, enable built-in Administrator and create a new admin account.
Then log off current account and switch to Administrator account, check desktop/software permission again. If thing recovers, it means your account has trouble.
Backup your important personal data, delete user profile from system properties, after delete, delete this account.
Restart, re-create the account with same name, login to check result, issue should be fixed.
If still no help in other accounts, you need to use iso repair upgrade.
Good luck

Asha Bhosle week: Tabu in Mujhe Rang De
7 comments:
BollywoodFan, 5 Asha songs is quite a goal. Just how to cut them down to 5?
I have never seen movie Thakshak, but have heard this great song and seen the clip here. Tabu and Ajay means I must see it. One of the tangents I've gone off on on my blog is the talent shows in India. One of my favorite contestants is Anwesha Dutta Gupta and here is her version of Mujhe Rang De:
I posted 2 other of little Anwesha's covers here-
Another A. R. Rahman tune too:
All the best,

Thank you Sita-ji. The links are great, and the songs and voices rather beautiful!
You are absolutely correct about five songs being overly restrictive (one of my friends thinks five albums wouldn't be enough)! I figured I could use some time this week to share my excitement for the upcoming concert, and of course my selections are biased and mostly restricted to an era that is almost unanimously not considered her best (and probably for good reason). The song Dum Maaro Dum is one such example.
I haven't seen Thakshak either, and shall hope to see it some time. It also stars Rahul Bose and the late Amrish Puri.
- Tuesday, April 15, 2008
I know! When I read that "Thakshak" has Tabu and aslo stars Amrish Puri I added it to my ever growing "to watch"document on my desktop. I got NUTS over Amrish! I love it when he goes off. Fabulous! And I've also enjoyed Rahul Bose's work, though only seen him in 3 things. I have some screen images from "Koyla" that I'll have to post soon with some particularly evil pix of Amrish.
All the best,

Speaking of Amrish Puri...his performance as Mogambo in Mr. India (1987) was unbelievably good. Sample this scene. If you haven't seen the movie, I would highly recommend it. Anil Kapoor was great, and Mogambo struck fear in the heart of every '80s child, much like Gabbar Singh did in the '70s.
- Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Excellent clip! Hail Mogambo!
I like how bad he was in "Dance, Dance"
Sukriya for that clip.,
- Thursday, April 17, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Thanks for sharing Sita-ji. It's funny how we remember some of the actors for some very specific performances. Mogambo will forever be my favorite. And perhaps the Amrish Puri scene in DDLJ toward the beginning, at the gas station, with the pack of drinks and SRK!
- Thursday, April 17, 2008
Of course I remember that scene at the gas station and even more so that slap fest at the climax of the movie. I LOVE Amrish!

I have been blogging about Migraine disease (MD) since March and I just realized that I have solidified my goals for this blog. In my Introduction, Ididn't think the blog would be all about MD or my journey with it. But, now I see that my intention is to encourage you, educate you and your support team, and empower you as you travel through life with MD.
I am a closet writer, a researcher, and I have a story to tell. It is a story full of pitfalls, bumps, and mistakes, but I believe that it is a story you can learn from and appreciate how far Migraine research and treatments have come in the last 35 years. Consider the triptan breakthrough in 1992 and the paradigm shifts from pallative care to treatment to prevention. We now have the ability to prevent Migraine attacks with medications like Topamax and Depakote!
I blog about Migraine disease so you can find support and information at a click of a mouse. I want Down the Rabbit Hole: A Journey of a Migraineur to become a library of resources and information on the latest treatments. I want to arm you with enough accurate information about MD so that you can be an active partner in your treatment team. I would like you to learn from my mistakes, to take ownership of your health, and to live as well as possible.

RWA Samson Rainer Arms Rail System (2014-04-23)
The truss-like design of the RWA Samson Rainer Arms Rail Systems is a tried and true engineering concept that retains incredible structural integrity while minimizing weight of construction. In addition to this, the interior of the rail system features structural ribbing further reducing weight.
All this slimming and reduction of material is to improve maneuverability and balance of an AR platform equipped with such a system, with the side effect of making the gun easier to transport and carry around as well.
Despite the focus of the RWA Samson Rainer Arms Rail System being weight reduction, it doesn't sacrifice customization ability to achieve its goal. Rails can be mounted along any point of the handguard where there are screw holes, or even used to mount accessories directly.
The markings that are laser-engraved on the rails are officially licensed thanks to RWA, and are made to as close to authentic as possible.

Ukraine accused Russia on Saturday of sending thousands of extra troops to Crimea and placed its military in the area on high alert as the Black Sea peninsula appeared to slip beyond Kiev's control.
Russia's RIA news agency said pro-Russian authorities in the region, which has an ethnic Russian majority, and the Russian Black Sea fleet based there had agreed to guard important buildings. Regional premier Sergei Aksyonov said that that Fleet personnel had already been deployed.
The peninsula's main civil airport at the fleet town of Simferopol announced it had closed its airspace. Russia accused Kiev-backed gunmen of attacking the Interior Ministry building and wounding personnel in "treacherous provocation".
Language emanating from Moscow was reminiscent of Cold War times when the Soviet Union felt its allied states of eastern Europe under threat from Western intrigues – something the Kremlin has cited in recent weeks as a factor in the crisis.
Germany described developments in the last few hours as dangerous. British foreign minister William Hague said he had spoken to Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and called for a 'de-escalation' of tensions.
Russia's parliament, flying in the face of U.S. President Barack Obama's warning against any Russian intervention, urged President Vladimr Putin to "to take measures to stabilize the situation in Crimea and use all available means to protect the people of Crimea from tyranny and violence."
After the overthrow last weekend of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, Crime quickly became the focus in a crisis with wide-ranging perils for the entire region. For many Russians, Crimea and its Soviet-era "Hero City" of Sevastopol, besieged by Nazi invaders, has a strong emotional resonance.
For Ukraine, independent of Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and already facing an economic crisis, its loss would be an enormous blow.
"De facto Crimea is almost cut off from Ukraine," Volodymyr Fesenko, a political analyst at the Kiev-based Penta think tank told Reuters.
"The scenario of Crimea's withdrawal (from Ukraine) has been accelerated," he said in reference to a decision to bring forward a referendum on Crimea's status from May to March.
"After the referendum Crimea can formally remain a part of Ukraine, but de facto it is already clear that there will be a Russian protectorate."
Trains were operating normally between Crimea and the Ukrainian hinterland and roads were open, but major sea and air movements appeared to be under Russian control.
Ukraine's new leaders, who had pressed a long street campaign against Yanukovich after he rejected a deal with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia, appear hard pressed to handle events in Crimea.
They must also beware of any souring of the mood in the largely Russian-speaking industrial eastern regions that could raise the danger of the country of 46 million being split.
Interfax quoted the Ukrainian border guard as saying its vessels had been put on combat alert in the Crimea.
Armed men wearing combat uniform with no identification markings control two airports in Crimea, which hosts Russia's Black Sea Fleet, and have taken over the regional parliament in what Kiev described as an occupation by Moscow's forces.
"It is unacceptable when armored Russian military vehicles are out in the centre of Ukrainian towns," Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said at the start of a government meeting in Kiev.
"We do not give in to provocative actions, we do not use force and we demand that Russia stop its provocative actions and return the troops to base."
Russia says any movements by its military in Crimea are in line with agreements with Ukraine in the lease of the naval base in the port city of Sevastopol and accused Kiev of trying to destabilize the Black Sea peninsula.

Our unglazed quarry tiles are available in two sizes, 146mm square and 96mm square in three colours.
Unglazed matt quarry tiles tiles have been used for fireplace hearths since early Victorian times. They are still popular as a hearth tile for stove hearths as well as Victorian and Edwardian reproduction fireplaces
Our glazed tiles are available in two basic sizes
Our 4 inch tile range include 4 inch Plain tiles and Round Edged tiles used for hearth and fireplace edges
Our 6 inch tile range include 6 inch Plain tiles and Round Edged tiles used for hearth and fireplace edges
We also have a range of different kerb tiles used to form a raised edge to the hearth or a fender in a number of styles.
Our full range of heat resistant glazed fireplace tiles and hard wearing Quarry tiles are on our fireplace-tiles.com website
We also sell specialised shaped fireplace tiles used to make fenders around a fireplace hearth and a wide range of decorative tube-lined and transfer printed five tile panels or tilesets which are used either side of a cast iron fireplace.
Tiles were first used in Georgian Fireplaces when the whole fireplace opening would be tiled and a fire basket place inside it on the tiled hearth.
Fire baskets were superceded by Hob Grates and then by Framed Hob Grates and eventually by Cast Iron Fireplace Inserts.
From c1800-1860 plain cast iron square framed and arched fireplaces were common
Victorian tiles were used widely from flooring to wall covering to and eventually as fireplace decoration.
Tile sliders were introduced into cast iron fireplaces at side of the opening from 1860-1880. They allowed 6 inch tiles to be slid down at either side of the opening.
There is no practical reason for the tiles, they are purely decorative.
The tiles fit in a cast iron frame held in position by pieces of cardboard. They are then plastered over from the back with bonding plaster. Once dry the fireplace itself can be fitted. Once set into the fireplace the tile set cannot easily be changed without removing the fireplace from the wall.
Victorian potters especially in Staffordshire had a large cheap labour force and decorated tiles using a number of methods.
Plain Glazed tiles used white lead, flint, china stone and china clay ground to form a basic glaze. Metal oxides were added to give different colours. A clear glaze brought out the natural body colour and was applied over any coloured decoration.
With hand painted tiles the artist painted directly onto a plain tile. A design could be copied and pricked through a piece of paper. The pattern was transferred to the tile by "pouncing " through the holes with charcoal and then colouring the tile.
Art Nouveau tiles used a process of tube lining where slip was trailed onto the surface of the tile. This formed raised lines separating the areas where different colour was wanted. Coloured glazes were poured into the areas of the tile formed by the tube-lined decoration. These tube-lined tiles later gave rise to the moulded Art Nouveau tiles as a cheaper alternative.
The most common method of decorating Victorian tiles, transfer printing was invented by two Liverpool printers, Sadler and Green.
An engraved copper plate was covered in colour and then the excess was removed, leaving the colour only in the engraved parts. Tissue paper was pressed onto the plate which was then placed colour side down onto the tile. The colour was transferred by rubbing it down, and the paper removed.
Most Fireplace Tiles are 6 inch square but more unusual examples do occur in 4 inch and 8 inch square.
Very often these tiles had spacers, a fairly plain 6 inch x 2 inch which break up the repeating pattern.
Victorian Tiles achieved their maximum popularity from 1880 to 1901. Prominent artists were commissioned to design tiles, and designs allowed clever patterning when several tiles were used together.
Tile panels or runs in which the pattern continues across the 5 tiles became very popular in Edwardian times but very few sets of 10 survive since just one discoloured or broken tile ruins the set.
Tile panels became even larger with the introduction of the Canopy on legs around 1880 which dispensed with a cast iron frame for the tiles. The tiles were cast into their own panels and these were then placed on either side of the canopy behind the mantel. They were placed at an angle depending on the size of the mantel.
The most common size was 10 inch with 6 inch tiles surrounded by plain 2 inch tiles but panels have been made up to 30 inch!!!
The patterned Fireplace Tiles were always mirrored in the hearth although today this seems too fussy. Normally we would choose the background colour of the patterend tiles for the hearth.
The hearth tiles themselves would normally be of the same size but to make the hearth more interesting we can make other patterns i.e. herringbone, cross hatch diamond etc.
Another very common tiling arrangement was the cross bonded or brick effect which looked like 1 inch tiles but were in fact standard 6 inch tiles moulded to have the appearance of 1 inch sticks. These Edwardian arts and crafts tiles were mirrored again in the hearth. We can recreate this effect in hand dipped colours.
Our Tubeline and Majolica Decorative Tiles have been hand produced in the time honoured way. The very nature of hand production ensures that no two pieces will ever be exactly the same and that inevitably there will be some shade variations from tile to tile.
Plain Tiles are also available
The same plain tiles that we use for our hearth are also available for use as spacers in tile sets or on their own if necessary.
Whilst most tiles do not craze, the thickness of glaze necessary to reproduce the very shiny Victorian colours may occasionally cause this to occur. It does not affect the seviceability and actually achieves a truer degree of reproduction effect.

Serious Cheese: So You Want to Be a Cheesemonger...
Say cheese! We recommend, review, and eat a lot of cheese.
"Even though that complexity can be intimidating, any one of these sources will make you better informed about cheese than the average bear."
OK, so maybe you don't want to work the counter every day but you want to know at least enough to impress that cute monger at your local cheese shop. Or you just really want to be able to hold your own at the next cheese-and-beer event your friends are holding. Or you, like me, just happen to like knowing things (and no, this does not mean you're a know-it-all... much).
While the best way to learn a heck of a lot about cheese is, of course, to work with it yourself, there are a bunch of really knowledgeable people who've gone to the trouble of distilling their smarts into book form, which the rest of us can use to bone up on cheese facts. I've collected my favorite resources so that if you'd rather not wait until the next installment of this column to, for example, answer that burning question about why Morbier has that line of ash down the middle, you'll be able to satisfy your own curiosity.
4 Books and a Website
There are many wonderful books that have been written about cheese, and you could do worse than pick up any of them, but for the time and money, there are four that I have learned the most from. Again, there are many books on cheese, and many things to love about all of them; these four are the ones that I refer to most.
- When I first started selling cheese, I read Max McCalman's Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Best from front to back. McCalman is the maître fromager at Artisanal, the cheese-centric New York restaurant and shop, and is easily one of the country's experts on the topic. Cheese: ACGttWB is a straight-forward assay of the relative characteristics of many of the world's best known cheeses, and a thorough perusal of the tome will equip any reader to speak knowledgeably about the difference in production and flavor between Ticklemore and Garrotxa (and even how to pronounce the latter). McCalman's other books—The Cheese Plate and Mastering Cheese—are also extremely worthwhile, but if I had to pick just one, I would pick this one.
- While less encyclopedic than many volumes, I really like Laura Werlin's Cheese Essentials for its clarity and approachability. The book is broken down into types of cheese—unripened, bloomy-rind, blue, hard, etc.—and includes recipes and serving suggestions for the different types of cheese. She is also very bullish on American craft cheeses, which, while they are now more established than they were when the book was first published, is a good reminder that cheeseries in this country are now producing a number of delicious products. As a bonus, Werlin does a good job of talking about various aspects of cheese science without getting into wonky territory.
- On the other hand, if you do want to get into wonky territory, I've had a good time paging through American Farmstead Cheese: The Complete Guide to Making and Selling Artisan Cheeses, by Paul Kindsedt. This book is definitely not as user-friendly as the previous two, but it has a wealth of technical information and details that books for a more casual audience elide over. If you've got a really hard question about what makes a cheese the way it is, or if you're ready to become super cool and start aging cheese in your spare room, this is a book you should check out.
- It seems unlikely that any reader of Serious Eats is really unfamiliar with Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking, but did you know that the book's very first chapter is on milk and cheese? While it's a tiny fraction of all the cool stuff inside the book, McGee has a wealth of information on the science and history of cheesemaking, making this book an essential stop in any theory-of-cheese expedition.
- Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention an incredibly inspirational and useful web page, meticulously maintained by David B. Fankhauser, a professor at University of Cincinnati Clermont College. With detailed instructions on everything from making blue cheese to getting rennet from a fresh calf's stomach, Fankhauser makes cheesemaking seem like something anyone can do. Which, apparently, it is. If you are thinking about cheesemaking but your local library doesn't have a copy of American Farmstead Cheese, check out his website first to see if it's something you'd be into.
Cheese is a large and complex are of study. Heck, the University of Vermont has an entire institute dedicated to its study. But, even though that complexity can be intimidating, any one of these sources will make you better informed about cheese than the average bear, and that's something.

We are back in the hotel room with our computer after a fruitless search for a rain coat for tomorrow's Montgomery County Kennel Club show. It's been years since we got wet at a dog show. We are skeptical that nostalgia will be enough to keep us warm tomorrow.
GCH CH Lomondview Clementina
Today's Devon Dog Show Association show was the largest prize of the weekend and it was hotly contested. Patti Widick Neale considered the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View's Ripsnorter Silver Charm, the American Foxhound, GCH CH Kiarry's Pandora's Box, the Samoyed, GCH CH McMagic Candied Ham at Pebbles'Run, the Scottish Terrier, GCH CH Lomondview Clementina, the Affenpinscher, GCH CH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 2, 2012) – U.S. beach volleyball teams won the women's gold and the men's silver medal on Sunday at the NORCECA Beach Circuit event in Aruba, the final NORCECA event of the 2012 season.
The No. 1 U.S. women's team of Tealle Hunkus (Girard, Ohio) and Summer Ross (San Diego, Calif.) defeated Mexico's Bibi Candelas and Martha Revuelta, 21-19, 21-17 in the women's gold medal match.
On the men's side, the No. 1 U.S. team of Avery Drost (Hawthorne, Calif.) and Will Montgomery (Santa Barbara, Calif.) fell to Mexico's Juan Virgen and Lombardo Ontiveros, 21-15, 21-12 in Sunday's final.
The men's silver medal secured the men's 2012 NORCECA Beach Circuit points championship for the United States. It had already secured the women's championship prior to the tournament.
Ross won her second gold medal in a row with the victory. She paired with Emily Day to win the previous NORCECA stage in Trinidad & Tobago where Hunkus finished with a silver medal (with Traci Weamer). Ross also won the silver medal at the NORCECA event in September in Chula Vista, Calif. (with Morgan Miller).
"I thank to God for this victory," Ross said. "I had never been before in Aruba, but I love this place and their beautiful people."
Hunkus added, "Playing the last competition in Aruba was the best way to go out of the tournament. Aruba is like paradise."
In the women's semifinals, Hunkus and Ross defeated Costa Rica's Ingrid Morales and Natalia Alfaro, 21-14, 21-12 while Candelas and Revuelta prevailed, 21-17, 14-21, 15-5 over Dariam Acevedo and Tatiana Encarnación of Puerto Rico.
For the men, Montgomery took his second silver medal of the 2012 NORCECA Beach Circuit. He had won gold at the last two NORCECA events in St. Lucia (with Jon Mesko) and Trinidad & Tobago (with Tony Ciarelli) after winning silver in Chula Vista (with Tri Bourne).
In the men's semifinals, Montgomeryand Drost edged Saint Lucia's Julian Bisette and Joseph Clercent, 21-13, 16-21, 15-11. Virgen and Ontiveros defeated Luis Adames and German Recio of Dominican Republic 21-17, 21-11
More information about the NORECA Beach Circuit is available on the NORCECA web site.

I would like to try this recipe, but here in Kyoto, I wonder if I can find all the ingredients?
Looks like pears having bath in open air Japanese rotenburo!ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous dish! Thanks for sharing the original pages too. I love to poaching my pears in red wine, cranberry and orange around the holidays. I may play with this recipe at that time, but will definitely make the 'pure' one before then! Cant wait for the next Julia installment. Thanks again!ReplyDelete

SAN ANTONIO - Warm weather and sunshine are helping the San Antonio area dry out after thunderstorms this weekend flooded area roads, rivers and creeks, killing three people who were swept away by rushing waters.
The National Weather Service on Monday discontinued a flood watch for the region. A flood warning did remain for the San Antonio River near Falls City, which is about 45 miles southeast of San Antonio.
The Texas Department of Transportation and other agencies reported Monday that only a few roads remained closed in San Antonio due to flooding.
The San Antonio Water System reported that two sewer lines were overwhelmed by the flooding, causing spills of more than 100,000 gallons. The utility said no adverse impacts had been reported from the spills.

Sorry, just a small error there. I like the concept behind this essay. You build computers, and that is something extraordinary that, I presume, few law school applicants can do. It feels like an afterthought, though. You spend a lot of time talking about how you got inspired, but I don't think that is as important as your inspiration itself. What I mean to say is that the LAN party isn't extraordinary--its what you learned to do that is. Your essay needs to be focused a little differently so that building computers seems less like an afterthought. Also, it is rather long--2.5 pages single spaced.erikordos wrote: Like the LAN party, college was a learning experience. It was an opportunity for me to meet new insightful individuals whose knowledge far exceeded my own. Like Matt and the rest of the party goers that night, these individuals, my instructors, gave me a foundation in legal studies. Once again I am enamored, except this time it is not a computer I seek to upgrade, it is myself. I want to assume a level of legal sophistication similar to that displaced by my college professors. Attending University of Baltimore School of Law is the means to accomplish my goal.

aaa,bbb,ccc#ddd,eee,fff -- note the "," and "#" separating different portions of each string
Not sure what to call them, ( "item1.item2...")? So you could (pseudo):
Code: Select all
get theAboveText
set the itemDel to comma
set the item2Del to "#"
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of it
repeat with y = 1 to the number of items of line x of it
repeat with z = 1 to the number of item2 of item y of line x of it
put item2 z of item y of line x of it & return after temp
end repeat
end repeat
end repeat
I admit the naming scheme ("item2") is awful, but the concept seems like a winner. It would be as if not only could you delimit by items, but also by "buckets", "packages", "parcels" and "trainLoads":
Code: Select all
answer parcel 2 of item 3 of bucket 4 of yourString

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Don't pass by: Nearby park offsets traffic noise
Address: 916 Marshall Street

Year Built: 1994

Agent: Barbara Frost, RE/MAX Realty Specialists, 434-960-4921
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
Well, there ain't no rest for the weary. Or at least not for the successful. Five short months after the popular local eatery Zocalo opened its doors in December 2003, owner/chef Ivan Rekosh purchased this comfortable home off the 29 Bypass. Now with a growing family, Rekosh is looking for more elbow room and has put the four-bedroom colonial on the market.
We're usually wary of Bypass homes — as the convenience factor has to be weighed against the noise— but this place is located on a quiet dead-end just two doors down from a charming bridge to Northeast Park. As the quarter-acre of sloping yard isn't ideal for soccer games, it's nice to have public green space within shouting distance.
The back views of the house are of the small yard, woods, and stream, and are best surveyed from the double-decker porch, which includes a hot tub. The front entrance is below the street, so at ground level the windows face the landscaping and small fenced front yard, one of Rekosh's many improvements to the house. (Previously it was an extended driveway.)
The family also installed tile in the bathrooms, kitchen, and entrance and finished the concrete basement to be a carpeted mother-in-law suite complete with a wet bar. The basement's large living area has natural light and sliding glass doors leading to the lower deck of the porch (hot tub level), but the bonus fifth bedroom, while comfortable, lacks windows.
Two hallways off the entrance make the traffic flow of the main floor a circle around storage areas (the pantry in the kitchen, a storage hutch in the living room). The large open living room has ceiling fans, heart pine floors, and a gas fireplace. This leads into the eat-in kitchen with French doors facing the deck. While the kitchen countertops are Formica and the fridge looks dated, the stainless steel dishwasher is just two years old, and the gas range will make chefs happy.
There's the ubiquitous half-bath for dinner guests (so they don't peek in your medicine cabinet) and a street-facing bedroom with a bay window. It's a pretty, albeit dark, room, but its location makes it more suitable for an office.
The other three bedrooms— all carpeted— are upstairs. Like a greedier version of Goldilocks, we found one bedroom somewhat too small and a second bedroom much too small (it's currently serving as a nursery), but the master bedroom is just right.
Twelve-foot ceilings boast a pair of skylights, and there are four additional windows— including a quirky circular one high above the head of the bed. A walk-in closet and a large master bath, with terracotta-colored floor tiles, white walls and cabinets, black countertops (Formica again), and a white bath edged in jet black tile round out the master suite.
The price of the house was $335,000 just over five years ago. With the extensive remodeling— including the basement, which added over 900 square feet to the living space— they feel justified in expecting a 65% increase over their original cost. City assessors seem to agree, pricing this place at $485,700 without considering the remodeled basement.
Does this spacious and convenient house deliver bang for the buck? Depends on what you're looking for and how good you are at bargaining. If you want a family-oriented, country-in-the-city refuge, take a second look at Marshall Street.

Furthermore it generates a uniform distr ibution of all possible reconstructions and thus an optimal randomization of the reconstructed series. The algorithm is a genuine on-line scheme. It is easy adj ustable to all variants of rainflow such as sysmmetric and asymmetric versions a nd different residue techniques.
In the automotive industry both the loca l strain approach and rainflow counting are well known and approved tools in the numerical estimation of the lifetime of a new developed part especially in the automotive industry. This paper is devoted to the combination of both tools and a new algorithm is given that takes advantage of the inner structure of the most used damage parameters.

If your casserole dish isn't wide enough to fit the pork in a single layer then brown it in batches. Scoop the pork out and set aside then add the chorizo and sizzle for a minute. Add the vegetables, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, garlic and herbs and cook for about 5 mins until the vegetables are soft and just starting to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar and stir in the tomato purée then splash in the vinegar and bubble for a moment. Tip in the tomatoes and a can of water. Stir the pork and juices into the sauce, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
Cover the dish with a lid and place in the oven for 1 hr 45 mins, checking occasionally and if the sauce becomes too thick add a splash more water. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the chickpeas and return to the oven for 15 mins. Remove again and leave to cool slightly so it's not scorching hot then stir through the parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve with crusty bread or boiled potatoes.
Recipe Tip
TipIf pork belly is hard to find or you don't fancy skinning your own then skinless pork shoulder will work just as well.

The "Titanic" has been sunk. Again.
James Cameron's second big-screen blockbuster "Avatar" has officially topped his first foray into billion-dollar movie territory, topping the epic flick "Titanic" to become the world's highest grossing movie ever, distributor 20th Century Fox said Tuesday.
"Avatar," the sci-fi fantasy about a future war between giant blue aliens and humankind, raked in $1.859 billion worldwide as of Monday, beating the $1.843 billion tidal wave "Titanic" brought in from 1997-1998, spokesman Greg Brilliant told Reuters Tuesday.
U.S. & World
Like "Titanic," "Avatar," which is also being shown in 3-D at theaters worldwide, topped at the Golden Globes, winning Best Picture honors. Cameron's film is also expected to win big at the Academy Awards, as "Titanic" did in 1998.
Critics and audiences alike have fawned over "Avatar," raving over its lush cinematography and realistic animation.
The film, which stars Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, was both written and directed by Cameron, who also helmed "Terminator 2."

Dark DNA: The missing matter at the heart of nature
The discovery that some animals thrive despite hugely mutated DNA hidden in their genome is forcing us to rethink some basics of evolution
THE fat sand rat is a strange creature. It lives in burrows, eats around 80 per cent of its body mass in leaves each day and doesn't drink water. But the really odd thing about this gerbil is that some of its DNA appears to be missing.
No doubt you have heard of dark matter, which is thought to make up over a quarter of the universe. We know it's there; we just haven't been able to detect it. Well, something similar is afoot in the genome. My colleagues and I have dubbed this elusive genetic matter "dark DNA". And our investigations into the sand rat are starting to reveal its nature.
The discovery of dark DNA is so recent that we are still trying to work out how widespread it is and whether it benefits those species that possess it. However, its very existence raises some fundamental questions about genetics and evolution. We may need to look again at how adaptation occurs at the molecular level. Controversially, dark DNA might even be a driving force of evolution.
Of course, the creationists will start going on about junk/not-junk DNA, I suppose.

Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve Its History, Promote Its Values & Celebrate Excellence Everywhere
(Carlisle)...5'10'', 195...Joseph Napoleon Guyon. . .Thorpe's teammate at Carlisle. . . All-America tackle at Georgia Tech, 1918. . .Triple-threat halfback in pros. . .Extremely fierce competitor. . .Played with Thorpe on four NFL teams. . .TD pass gave Giants win over Bears for 1927 NFL title. . . Professional baseball injury ended gridiron career, 1928. . .Born November 26, 1892, on White Earth Indian Reservation, Minnesota. . .Died November 27, 1971, at age of 79.
Joe Guyon, an American Indian from the Chippewa Tribe, was born O-Gee-Chidah on the White Earth Indian Reservation in Minnesota. He received only a sixth-grade education from the American government. "It was hard trying to make something of yourself," Guyon once said. "Sports were one of the few ways a youngster could pull himself up."
So Guyon did the only thing he could do. He used his athletic skills to gain a college education and a satisfying professional career. After playing on Georgia Tech's national championship team in 1917, Joe signed to play pro football with the Canton Bulldogs in 1919.
After the NFL was organized in 1920, Guyon played seven more seasons with six different teams. From 1919 to 1924, Joe teamed with another outstanding Indian halfback, the fabled Jim Thorpe. Both were talented players but the better-known Thorpe grabbed most of the headlines.
The paths of the talented Indian pair parted late in the 1924 season when Guyon left the Rock Island Independents to go to the Kansas City Cowboys. Guyon stayed with the Cowboys in 1925 while Thorpe, then 37, moved on to the New York Giants.
Two years later in 1927, Guyon became a Giant and he played a major role in leading the New Yorkers to the 1927 NFL championship. Guyon, away from the shadow of Thorpe, enjoyed one of his finest seasons and gained the first significant publicity he had enjoyed since his college days. The 1927 Giants compiled an 11-1-1 record largely on the strength of a superior defensive that allowed only 20 points all season. But Guyon, flashing all of his many abilities – passing, running, punting, tackling and blocking – played a leading role in scoring the necessary points for his team that also finished second in scoring that season.

'Twas the night before school and all through the house, the kids were sad, and so were the teachers. Not really, but it makes a good scene. Both children and teachers in this house are ready to go back – mostly. So, here's a few last minute links to bide you over the first day back. Mine is tomorrow.
[Editor's note: I started this post last Sunday, the night before the first day of school. I'm finishing it seven days later. It was a long week – can you tell?]
1 – Journalists in the 21st Century really MUST be jacks-of-all-trades, so says the hiring practices of most media organizations. Honestly, I was getting this advice back in 1988 – so, really is this a surprise?
2 – Net Neutrality is all the rage right now – thanks Google, you surrender monkeys. Read, Write, Web has a super graphic with 15 facts about Net neutrality.
3 – More than any other mathematical concept, the Golden Ratio has my attention. I love the many ways that the ratio is represented in art, music, architecture, nature and more. It is a divine concept.
4 – The Beaumont, Texas office of Taylor Publishing (Balfor now?) has a cool resource site – check it out!
5 – Tamron video wants to help you use your Flash better in Episode 12 of their continuing series of photography videos.
6 – Free Tech 4 Teachers has a list of 140 user generated ideas for things that teachers are going to try in their classrooms this year. I'm in the slideshow (yea me!) and I'm going to try Moodle. My district has started it's own Moodle site. I really like it so far.
7 – I stumbled upon DigitalRev after watching a great stress test video that pitted a Nikon vs. a Canon camera. DigitalRev has a Youtube channel and a great blog too. I've added them to my RSS and Youtube subs.
8 – The Principal's Page had a great graphic timeline of the History of the Internet. Huge!
9 – Gizmodo had a good companion to the last link – The Secret History of those $%&@ing Computer Symbols. My favorite is – of course the Mac Command symbol.
10 – According to Wired Magazine – The Web is Dead: Long Live the Internet. It's a Pro vs. Con on the walled gardens or suburbia of the internet – phone apps.
11 – After the Exposure Triangle – dPs wants us to get a little more advanced with our thinking about the exposure triangle = meaning aperture is more than just more light.
12 – The Internet gets news out faster and better right? Not when Twitter punks the news. Rumors can run rampant and then CNN and others actually report fake news stories. Oh Dang, can you say retraction. And in a related post, The Chive, punked us all with Dry Erase girl. Supposedly she quit her job with a series of photos posted on a photo sharing site, telling all about her boss. But alas, it was just a hoax – it did come from the Onion-like Chive site. Duh.
13 – The Kobrechannel has a list of Five Things They Can't Believe Every News Video Doesn't Already Have. Byline anyone!
14 – The folks over at 2¢Worth are trying to create an innovative online/DVD yearbook mashup. No printed copy or only as a print on demand product. I'm interested in seeing how this might work.
15 – Thanks to the Principal's Page blog for reminding us all of this. As the year goes by, things get busy and they often get hard. It's the hard that makes it great.
16 – I love this. Stickers for the newspaper, with truth in advertising about the news contained inside. Could be used in yearbook too! Not as funny as you think.
That's a wrap.

Drew Magary writes sports commentary for Deadspin, Maxim, GQ and is the author of "The Postmortal."
Tom Coughlin is on the verge of winning his second title in five years with the New York Giants. He'd accomplish this with two teams that combined to go 19-13 in the regular season. I'm not sure if this is tribute to Coughlin's skills as a head coach, or if it's a damning stat that proves his two potential titles were the result of some kind of cosmic fluke. Regardless, if Coughlin were to lead the Giants to another unexpected Super bowl title, it would be worth debating whether or not he's a Hall of Fame coach.
There are, by my count, eleven head coaches to have won multiple Super Bowl titles. Five of these men are in the Hall of Fame (Tom Landry, Bill Walsh, Chuck Noll, Joe Gibbs and Don Shula). A sixth - Bill Parcells - is a finalist this year after missing the cut a season ago. I have a hard time believing that Parcells - despite his copious baggage - won't eventually get in. Bill Belichick and Mike Shanahan are both still active and therefore ineligible for election, though I think we'd all agree that the former will make it to Canton and the latter will not. Three other coaches - George Seifert, Tom Flores, and Jimmy Johnson - have multiple titles but appear doomed to never make it to Canton.
There are differing reasons for why the last three men never made it to the Hall of Fame. Seifert was seen as someone who rode Walsh's coattails to two titles. Flores never broke the 100-win barrier. And Johnson was a head coach in the NFL for just 10 seasons. If these three men couldn't make it to the Hall of Fame, does that doom Coughlin's chances?
Not quite. Take a look at Coughlin's resume and you'll see that he has a lot going for him. He has more than 100 wins. He's taken his teams to the playoffs in nine out of the 16 seasons he's been coaching. And he led the Jacksonville Jaguars to the playoffs in four of their first five years of existence. The Texans just took a decade plus to finally make the playoffs. Coughlin made building an expansion team from scratch look effortless. Coughlin was so good in Jacksonville that former owner Wayne Weaver openly said he deeply regretted ever letting Coughlin go.
There's more. Coughlin, despite his surly antics on the sideline, is quite cuddly with voters like Peter King, who just saw the coach in his undies not but four days ago. Coughlin has been an ambassador for the NFL with his charity work and his USO visits with troops abroad. That kind of stuff shouldn't matter when it comes to HOF voting, but it does.
Coughlin stands to be the 12th coach to win multiple Super Bowl titles, and he'd be doing it by cobbling together two miraculous season-ending runs. He's weathered calls for his ouster time and again and proven that there are few coaches out there who are better at game management and player motivation.
If the Giants win on Sunday, my guess is that he still won't have enough support to be a Hall of Famer. But I promise you, there will be people vouching for him in that room, and they're going to have some good arguments. Maybe another surprise title run in 2017 will make it a slam dunk.

It's not often that I cheat in the kitchen – although who can blame us when we're time strapped? I will happily grind and roast my spices, releasing each intrinsic aroma and letting them infiltrate the spirit; readymade tandoori or curry powder, while convenient just isn't quite the same. I soak and boil pulses to ensure that the depth of fresh flavour and texture is captured and I get that thick, smooth gravy; the canned alternative may win time-points but can be juice-deprived. What are kidney beans without their rich, succulent velvet juices? I make my own, malleable and moist paneer; I find the ready-made kind can be stiff and chewy, sacrificing freshness for minutes. I create yogurt at home, so that I know it will be smooth and mild, cooling and creamy, just like it's supposed to be. I craft the sausages for my weekend breakfast with my own fair hands and I love indulging in home-made idli or dhokla only after soaking and grinding the lentils and the rice.
But I do use short-cuts- that's not cheating! I deploy optimal weekday solutions to address the conundrum that many of us face; that is that I need a delicious, attention-grabbing, taste-bud rousing and nutritious dinner within 30 minutes of laptop releasing, coat slinging, shoes tossing and key chucking and phone grabbing for 'hi mum' at 6.30pm. 30 minutes before dinner time. It's that time frame within which my husband decides to raid the snack cupboard for low GI snacks and hummus. Hmmm…
I love this recipe because it looks like an effort has been made, but it's oh-so-easy. It's so delightful, I have hankerings for it. Personally, I am a girl who likes unravelling foods. You know I like stuffing vegetables and filling them and…well, you get the gist. Mouthfuls of surprises…give it a go.
I serve these rolls on a salad. Today my salad was made of asparagus, plump tomatoes and walnuts. They also work well for a bbq or picnic.
Aubergine and Halloumi Rolls
2 large aubergines, cut lengthways into long slices about 2-3cm thick
Halloumi cheese cut into 3 cm chunks
Spices: 1 tsp. cumin seeds, ½ tsp. fenugreek seeds, 1 tsp. fennel seeds
2 fat cloves of garlic, minced
7 tbsp. of red pesto (that's the cheat)
2 tsp. smoked paprika
- Grind the spices together to form a powder, and toast them on a hot, non-stick pan (but low flame) for a couple of minutes to release the aroma, but do not brown the spices.
- Combine the spices with the minced garlic and red pesto and paprika to form a tangy paste
- Set the slices of aubergine out in a plate and microwave them for 3 minutes. Dry off the water and then put them in the oven at 200degF until they become pliable. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove the aubergine slices from the oven and once they have cooled enough to become manageable, spread about 1tsp. of the paste onto the aubergine slice, put into a chunk of halloumi cheese and wrap into a parcel.
- Put the rolls back into oven (at 200degF again) until they brown. This should take about 10 minutes further.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The nation's largest public utility has agreed to pay $27.8 million to settle claims from Tennessee property owners who suffered damages from a huge, 2008 spill of toxin-laden coal ash sludge that drew national attention to coal ash and its toxic contaminants.
The spill happened when a containment dike burst at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil Plant, releasing more than 5 million cubic yards of ash from a storage pond. The sludge flowed into a river and spoiled hundreds of acres in a riverside community 35 miles west of Knoxville.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Varlan ruled in 2012 that TVA was liable for the spill. He wrote in his opinion that if TVA had followed its own policies, the problems that led to the dike failure would have been investigated and addressed.
The settlement with more than 800 property owners was announced on Friday. Varlan still has to approve it.
In a news release, TVA called the settlement a "significant milestone" and reiterated the utility's commitment to "completing the Kingston recovery project and restoring the community to as good as or better than it was before the spill."
The Environmental Protection Agency says coal ash contains toxic contaminants including arsenic, boron, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and other metals.
In 2010, the agency proposed a rule to treat coal ash in landfills and other storage areas as a hazardous material. That rule has never been finalized, however, so it was not in place six months ago when a spill at a Duke Energy plant in Eden, North Carolina, coated 70 miles of the Dan River with toxic sludge. State lawmakers there are divided over a bill that would require Duke to clean up 33 unlined ash pits that state regulators say are contaminating groundwater.
The EPA is under a federal court order to finalize the coal ash rule by December 19, said Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, one of the parties in the case.
Smith said the TVA settlement "closes a long overdue chapter with a number of people whose lives were significantly impacted. ...TVA should have settled with these people a long time ago. But it's done. It's good. We're hoping people can move on with their lives and put this chapter behind them. But the final chapter on coal ash hasn't been written."
In Kingston, TVA is spending $1.2 billion on the cleanup and restoration, which it expects to conclude next spring. So far, the utility has recovered $267 million from its insurers.
Prior to the deal announced on Friday, TVA already had settled more than 200 Kingston-related claims for about $80 million, purchasing more than 900 acres from affected property owners. TVA is converting some of that land into parks and green space that includes boat launches and walking trails. Another portion of the property has been donated to Roane County. TVA also gave $43 million to the Roane County Economic Development Foundation for community development projects.
An estimated 500,000 cubic yards of ash remain at the bottom of the Emory and Clinch rivers. In 2012, the EPA approved a plan to leave the remaining ash in place because dredging it would stir up contaminants.
TVA has agreed to monitor the site for 30 years at a cost of about $10 million. The utility is also converting its other wet-storage coal ash facilities to dry storage at a total cost of $1.5 to $2 billion, TVA spokesman Duncan Mansfield said. That work is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2022.
TVA has about 9 million customers in seven states, most of them in Tennessee.
