Good Question: What Are All These Knives For?
Here's a great question from reader Wyatt, who is struggling to identify all the knives in his new set. He writes:
I received a butcher block and some decent knives for Christmas, and it's nice to have a full fresh set with all the amenities. However, I keep finding that I really only end up using the large chef's knife, the short paring knife, and the bread knife. I've missed some crucial aspect of my education, I think: what are the rest of these for?
What makes a fillet knife a fillet knife, and what characteristic would make me want to choose it over one of my standbys? And the rest of these, too! I haven't the foggiest idea what to call them, let alone what makes them useful. Please, Kitchn, tell me about knives!
Wyatt, congrats on your big new set of knives! We are just like you, though: we use a chef's knife (several, actually), a couple of crazy-sharp paring knives, and a bread knife. You've stumbled on the exact reason why we don't usually recommend that cooks buy full sets of knives. We think that many of these knives are not used frequently enough to warrant a place in the kitchen, and that most of their functions can be accomplished just as well with a good chef's knife.
But now that you do have a full set, you might as well take advantage of them! You didn't specify the exact set of knives, but here are some knives common in these box sets.
8-inch and 6-inch chef's knives: Knife sets sometimes include multiple sizes of chef's knife. It's nice to have more than one chef's knife handy, but we prefer to just buy two knives that we really like.
Tomato knife: A tomato knife is serrated, sometimes with a forked end, which lets it cut easily through tomatoes.
Boning or fillet knives: Boning and fillet knives are related and quite similar. They both are thin and flexible, which help them slice bones away from meat. Fillet knives are most frequently used to remove bones from fish.
Bread knife: A long, serrated knife that is ideal for cutting bread. Even this is a one-use knife, we cut bread almost every day and find it very handy.
Paring and utilty knives, in various sizes: Many sets throw in a few short paring knives or utility knives, somewhere between the size of a paring knife and a chef's knife. These can be used for peeling, cutting up vegetables, or any other small tasks.
Santoku: Some new sets are including santoku knives, which are great for slicing and chopping. You can see more about santoku knives here.
Steak knives: Sometimes serrated steak knives are included with a knife set. These are used at individual place settings when eating large cuts of meat: steak, pork chops, lamb chops. We don't use these at all; usually when we serve steak we cut it into more manageable thin strips.
Any more advice for Wyatt? Here are a few more posts, too, with some advice on knives.

Show. All of these knives are for show. ;)
I am finally getting rid of the knife block and putting in a magnetic strip for the few knives I actually use - the rest I'm either sticking in a drawer or just giving to a friend.
I use my santuko knife most of all.
Then the small paring knife.
Then the bread knife, which I also use for cutting tomatos.
And that's it, really. The large chef's knife I use when my santuko is dirty :)
HA! This is exactly the set I have (except mine is black). I use all of them regularly except the steak knives...Big santoku, Little santoku, chef...paring...bread...short serrated....LOVE them all.
I've found that for my tiny kitchen I prefer to use a 6" chef's knife for most things. Were I not confined by space I might go back to using the 8" more often, though to be honest I like the finer control I have with the 6". Still, those two knives along with a small paring knife are the ones I go to most often. There are times I go for my santoku knives, but those times are rare nowadays. If I needed to cut tomatoes I'd use my bread knife, but I'm cheap and lazy and go for canned. Sorry folks.
We actually just had to revert from the magnetic strip to a knife block due to the set up of our new kitchen. tear.
We use a bread knife (it's about 7" so I'll use it on beefsteak tomatoes, too) a santoku, a shun chef's knife, and paring knives. If I'm cutting roma tomatoes I just use on of the enormous steak knives that my husband got for Christmas a few years ago.
I can see using all of these knives if you're a serious cook, but not if you're just whipping up basic meals.
One day, I'll have the in-counter knife storage that Alton Brown has. It makes me drool every time I see him use it.
I use my 6" chef's knife most of all, then my 8" and bread knives. Oddly enough, I very rarely use my paring knife. Fortunately, my knife block only came with the 6", 8," and paring knives, a steel and a pair of kitchen scissors so there's not much extranious stuff in my set. I should probably switch to magnetic storage, though. Counterspace is at a premium.
They're for learning to throw knives at a target so you can join the circus.
Seriously, you've already found almost all the knives you need. We have 5 knives, which is more than enough for my sweetie and me to cook anything we please: a chef's knife, a slicer (almost as long, but more slender than chef knife), 2 paring knives, a bread knife, and a fillet knife (this last rarely gets used).
the only reason I sometimes wish I had more knives is if I haven't planned out my cooking well and have to cut up more veggies or cooked foods after I cut up raw meat. Otherwise I just use a 6 (or is it 7) inch chef's knife, a paring knife, and a serated knifed I stole from the flatware set (for tomatoes, bread, whatever needs seration).
Woah, thanks for all the advice, everyone. That was actually quite informative and to-the-point. I appreciate it-- if nothing else, contending with bones just got a whole lot easier. :)

"These invitations were so awesome. Absolutely loved them. Great quality, size, and design. Everyone was very impressed, and when i finally showed my husband he loved them also."
"I just purchased these invitations for my grandpa's 90th birthday. They turned out absolutely amazing and I can't wait to send them out to family and friends :) thank you tiny prints!!!!"
"We had a movie party for my daughter and we loved that this looked exactly like a movie ticket. The paper quality was nice and thick and the invitation was larger than I anticipated (I guess I should have read the specs!) Our guests all commented on how fun it was to get a movie ticket invitation for the movie party."
"the quality of the paper was excellent. On the front added picture of my husband as a child, on the back present picture with text. This invite had a very nostalgic feel which is just what I was hoping to find for my husband's 60th."
"I was looking for an invitation for an 80th and 85th (male) birthday, and this card was exactly what I was looking for. It's so hard not being able to see and feel the card, but it turned out to be a good weight and love the colors! (I went with the turquoise) With the black and white pictures, the invitation was a cross between vintage and modern...Love it!!"

Tuan LeMar 16 2013: As a high School student, I believe that being gifted and creative might not equal to academic success. I am considered bright and creative by many but I really struggle to perform up to my expectation. There are few choices in syllabus which also emphasized a lot on repetitive practices and regurgitation of theory. This exam-oriented asian mentality sucks the interest out of studying and I find myself really disenchanted with the system in the end.

Rest in Peace Jean Claude Vierne
As you may have heard, we've lost one of our own, Jean Claude Vierne, who passed away quite suddenly on April 16th. He loved being a part of our small radio community, and we loved having him here, and he will be missed.
Jean Claude Vierne, a well know French Chef, teacher and radio host, passed away suddenly on April 16th.
He was born in France in 1951 in the town of Salon de Provence, near the Mediterranean Sea. His interest in cooking began at a young age, inspired by his mother and grandmother's love of French country Provencal cuisine. His family moved to Paris and his formal education began when he enrolled in Ecole de Cuisine in Saint Armand Montrond, France. Upon graduation he pursued his career working for a well- known restaurant in Paris Le Coupe-Chou, as well as several large French resorts in Brittany, the Riviera, Vittel in the Alps and the island of Guadeloupe.
In 1973 he moved to New York City where he was a sous chef at the Rainbow Room, La Caravelle, La Cote Basque and the executive chef at La Colome d'Or, and the New York Bar Association.
In 1989 he moved with his wife Nikki Hayes Vierne to the Berkshires where they opened a French Provencal Bistro, La Tomate that was a local favorite for many years in Great Barrington.
In recent times he taught cooking classes at Berkshire Community College, MCLA and privately. In addition, he was the lively host of a weekly radio show, The Food Show on WBCR 97.7 FM in Great Barrington that was full of wonderful food stories, recipes, music and great humor.
He is survived by his wife Nikki Hayes Vierne, and several family members in France, Blanche Milloud, Muriel Feinstein, Sidone Phelippeau and Loric Vierne.
A graveside service celebrating Jean Claude's life will be held on Sat. May 10th at 10:30 a.m. at the Mill River Cemetery in Mill River.
There will be no calling hours.
Donations in his memory can be made to the local radio station WBCR 97.7 FM in Great Barrington, MA in care of FINNERTY & STEVENS FUNERAL HOME, 426 Main St., Great Barrington, MA 01230. Remembrances may be sent to the family through http://www.finnertyandstevens.com

Comments about Mackie 402VLZ4 4-Channel Ultra-Compact Mixer:
I'm using this to create my own keyboard mix, sending the mains to the sound guy and the monitor out (through a Y adapter from the headphone out) to my own powered stage monitors. This way, I have complete control over my own stage sound without interfering with the sound guy's signal. And I can up the gain on a few boards that tend to have a low signal on their own.
I was looking at a few cheaper options, but I'm so glad I got this. The sound is absolutely clear - no coloration, no deadening, no distortion. What you put in, you get out. There's PLENTY of headroom and a VERY LOW noise floor. For my uses, this thing is perfect!

This is an urgent message from Rutgers USAS member Anna Barcy, who is sitting in at the President's Office RIGHT NOW with 21 other students, demanding the University finally disaffiliate from the FLA.
Right now I'm sitting in at our administration building because for two years our President has refused to listen to students and take a stand against the corporate-run Fair Labor Association (FLA), a corrupt factory monitoring group that whitewashes worker abuse by big brands like Nike. We are sick of being ignored while workers suffer at the hands of the FLA, and we are here until President McCormick does the right thing and finally agrees to disaffiliate from the FLA.
Take Action Now! Email President McCormick now and call him at (848) 932-7454. Tell him to use his final days as Rutgers President to stop the corporate cover-up of sweatshop abuse by dropping the FLA.
One year ago today, we occupied President McCormick's office demanding that he take students seriously and stop paying the FLA because of their abysmal track record of covering up abuses and history of hindering progress in the anti-sweatshop movement. Today we're back because while the President has dragged his feet, the FLA has continued to perpetuate worker abuse. In China, the FLA's recent recommendations to "fix" horrendous abuses at Apple's Foxconn factories have led to drastic cuts in workers pay and conditions, driving hundreds of desperate workers back to the rooftops in protest. President McCormick has told us that he wants Rutgers to remain in the FLA to see if they will make "progress" in China but we know they can't and wont hold corporations accountable when Nike and Apple control the FLA's Board of Directors.
Tell President McCormick Rutgers should be to holding corporations accountable, not subsidizing their PR schemes. Call him now at (848) 932-7454, and tell him take a stand for worker rights and to stop paying the FLA.
Today is President McCormick's final day as President and his last chance reverse course and take a stand against corporate sweatshop abuse. With your support we can ensure he respects student voices and demonstrates to his successor and the entire university community that Rutgers will no longer tolerate worker rights abuse.

GENERIC NAME: febuxostat
BRAND NAME: Uloric
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Febuxostat is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used for treating gout caused by excessive levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). Uric acid is formed from the breakdown of certain chemicals (purines) in the body. Hyperuricemia occurs when the body produces more uric acid than it can eliminate. The uric acid forms crystals in joints (gouty arthritis) and tissues, causing inflammation and pain. Elevated blood uric acid levels also can cause kidney disease and kidney stones. Febuxostat prevents the production of uric acid by blocking the activity of the enzyme (xanthine oxidase) that converts purines to uric acid. Uric acid levels may fall to target treatment levels within two weeks. Febuxostat and allopurinol (Zyloprim) are similar in how they work, but the maximum dose of febuxostat is more effective in reducing uric acid levels. The FDA approved febuxostat in February 2009.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 40 and 80 mg
STORAGE: Febuxostat should be stored at room temperature between 15 to 30 C (59 to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Febuxostat is used for the management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout.
DOSING: The recommended dose is 40 or 80 mg daily. It may be administered with or without food, and it can be taken with antacids. Flares of gout may increase after febuxostat is started as uric acid moves out of tissues. These gout flares may be prevented with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for example, indomethacin [Indocin, Indocin-SR]) or colchicine.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Febuxostat may increase blood levels of mercaptopurine (Purinethol), azathioprine (Imuran), and theophylline (Theo-Dur, Respbid, Slo-Bid, Theo-24, Theolair, Uniphyl, Slo-Phyllin) by reducing their breakdown in the body. Therefore, febuxostat should not be administered with mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and theophylline.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of febuxostat in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether febuxostat is excreted in human milk.
SIDE EFFECTS: Common reactions to febuxostat include nausea, rash, joint pain, gout flares, and liver problems. Less common side effects include stroke, heart attack, anemia, hepatitis, hypersensitivity, and weight loss.

PARIS — Twenty minutes. That's how long it took, after checking into a charming Latin Quarter hotel, to travel two stops on the nearby Metro — and look down to see my pocketbook unzipped and my wallet gone.
Welcome to Paris. As I momentarily stood in a daze, thinking here I am in Paris with no cash, credit cards, bank card, or driver's license (fortunately my passport was not taken), several teens and a young girl had zipped out of the Metro, probably turning the loot over to a waiting adult.

August 2006 (Palm Springs, Calif.) - In an ongoing series during its 30th anniversary year, the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA) cautions home buyers and sellers, as well as all individuals involved in real estate transactions, that there are myths and misconceptions associated with retaining the services of a professional home inspector. CREIA presents Part Four of the continuing series "Myths & Realities about Home Inspections".
Myth: A newly constructed home does not need an inspection.
REALITY: No matter how good a job your builder does, a competent home inspector may find defective conditions that managed to slip through the cracks of the construction and municipal inspection processes. A new home construction inspection is an independent, third party inspection to ensure that the work completed is in compliance with plans, specifications, and the construction schedule. Once a home is built, many conditions that could have been observed during construction are now covered and are no longer visible for inspection. Often an improperly installed or poorly constructed condition that could have been visually reviewed during construction becomes covered or concealed later in the building process cause a potential financial burden for the property owner for future corrective action. For these reasons, it is important that a home be inspected during construction by the buyer's representative whenever possible so that any reportable defects can be corrected before completion and transfer of title. A detailed inspection report can provide a pick-up list for the contractor, before you occupy your new home; be sure to hire a professional home inspector for a final review of the project.
Myth: An inspection is not needed as long as an appraiser has viewed the property.
REALITY: While appraisers are skilled at the valuation of properties, they are not home inspectors. Appraisers perform a different service with a different level of expertise than a professional home inspector - they generally do not climb on roofs, open electrical service panels, or examine furnaces or other appliances. They are not trained to perform home inspections to recognized standards, a process which typically requires two to three hours on-site for a single-family home. Appraisers only establish the value of the property for mortgage purposes. Buyers need to secure their own home inspection through the services of a qualified inspector and satisfy themselves about the condition of the property.
Make sure you retain the services of a qualified inspector who is trained and experienced in home inspection. It is also very important that your inspector be a member of a professional association such as CREIA to ensure qualifications and continued education. Since 1976, CREIA, a non-profit voluntary membership organization has been providing education, training, and support services to the real estate inspection profession and to the public. Inspectors must adhere to CREIA's Code of Ethics and follow the Standards of Practice developed and maintained by the Association. These Standards of Practice have been recognized by the State of California, and are considered the source for Home Inspector Standard of Care by the real estate and legal communities.
CREIA requires its members to successfully pass a written test of property systems and complete 30 hours of education each year. Members can accumulate credits through various sources of education including monthly chapter meetings, conferences, and other approved activities. CREIA keeps records to ensure that members are complying with the requirements. Educational topics cover a variety of technical subjects including updates and advances that affect property inspection and the business of real estate inspection.
CREIA is dedicated to consumer protection and education. To locate a qualified CREIA inspector near you click here or call CREIA at (800) 388-8443.

You want the best smartphone, right? We've whittled our constantly updated selection down to the 10 best handsets you can get your hands on right now - but after you've checked out number one, we've still got plenty of other options to feast your eyes on.
We've all got at least one mobile phone each, right? We've probably got about three or four nowadays, and that counts giving your old Nokia 3310 to your Mum a few years ago.
But while you used to be able to just bank on the new Nokia or always get the next Sony Ericsson because it had a half-decent camera, there are now so many great options out there from loads of manufacturers.
The trouble is, how do you decide which is the best one for you?
Well, this is where we make it easy: we've played with nearly every device on the market and have found the ten best you can spend your money on. It needs to be good, after all, given it will reside in your pocket for the next two years.
Our ranking of the best mobile phones available in the UK today celebrates the brilliance of the smartphone: we love handsets that add in functionality to enrich our lives in so many different ways.
We also partially take into account the price of the phone too - meaning a low-price handset doesn't always need to have high-spec functions to be in our top 10.
The HTC One was the star of last year, staying at the top of the charts for nearly 10 months, seeing off the challenge from the likes of Nokia, Sony, LG and Samsung (namely the Galaxy S4) - showing the smartphone market still has a fair few players.
The iPhone 5S proved to still be a little too pricey with a smaller screen, and the iPhone 5C was cheaper but with some ageing hardware. And now Google is playing fast and loose with consumers' wallets, thanks to offering the ultra-cheap Nexus 5 and the even ultra-cheaper Moto G - could those be the phones for you?
But now we're in 2014, and the game has changed. Relentless design reimagination from HTC has led to the excellent HTC One M8 landing right at the top of the tree, but now the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 are here - can either take the crown?
Not so good news if you can't wait for the iPhone 6: that's not coming for a few months, so if you want something shiny and new from Apple now, you'll either need to go for the iPhone 5S (which is still a decent phone) or one of the plethora of high end Android handsets.
If that still doesn't help, well, there's always our extensive mobile phone reviews pages as well - or check out our personally crafted smartphone buyer's guide:
And when you've decided which new phone to buy (and checked out the best mobile phone deal), why not cash in your old one with our phone recycling price comparison service?
Here are our rankings for the best mobile phones around, currently available in the UK.
10. HTC One Mini 2
Before you get confused, no, that's not the HTC One M8, despite how it looks. It's a bit smaller. But no, it's not the HTC One M8 mini either, despite the way it looks.
This is the HTC One Mini 2 that, for all intents and purposes, is the HTC One M8 Mini. But as it doesn't have the Duo Camera, HTC has decided that it should be seen as the direct successor to the HTC One Mini instead. Caught up? Good.
The main wins here are design and price. It's obviously lower cost than its bigger brother, but the curved metal chassis of the One Mini 2 looks and feels wonderfully premium and the clever engineering of the plastic frame makes it easy to miss.
The inclusion of a microSD slot is another big plus point over last year's offering, making the One Mini 2 a far stronger media machine.
Quick Verdict
The processor inside is a little sub par, and the battery life could be a little better, but other than that this is a marvellous little phone that uses design as a big selling point.
It's not got the chops of the Z1 Compact (which is a much more powerful phone in the same sort of chassis size) but overall it's a great device with all the extra HTC bits we've come to love from the brand. Except the Duo Camera, but we reckon you can live without that.

What a wedding show on Sunday August 16, 2009! The Southern Bridal Show & Expo™ (produced by Forever Bridal Productions) was packed with excited brides, helpful friends, friendly parents, and happy future grooms.
The spectacular event held every April and August in the Jim Graham Building at the NC State Fairgrounds featured over 150 Triangle, NC area special event companies that covered all aspects of throwing amazing weddings! Exhibiting companies included caterers, florists, photographers, DJ's, venues, lighting and decor companies, and many more! In addition hourly wedding fashion shows on the main stage featured the latest trends in bridal and wedding wear.
Showtime Events had a large 20 foot booth at the show that really stood out! Our booth featured dramatic fabrics and the coolest acrylic table and lighting options for weddings and special events.
The booth featured: 15 large LED lights, 1 60″ acrylic octagon table, two 6 foot acrylic buffet tables pushed together to make a large square table, 6 acrylic chairs with white leather pad, one acrylic highboy cocktail table, a Crystal 160 Airstar lighting balloon, 2 INCREDIBLE custom swag panel for backdrops, 3 acrylic lamp centerpieces, and much more! The booth literally exploded with color!
On top of our main booth Showtime Events had four 18 foot tall LED soft columns that all attendees passed when entering/exiting the show, as well as additional tables and lights at other company's booths throughout the convention building.
Over 400 brides passed through our LED lighted columns to access the expo, driving many straight to our booth. Bride after bride quizzed the Showtime Events staff about our exclusive decor and lighting options for their receptions. The brides were especially pleased upon realizing all of our lighting options and tables could be programmed to match their wedding colors and changed throughout the event if desired. Beach brides and outdoor event planners marveled over the Airstar lighting balloon as an innovative and exciting option for their event.
Finally, we also featured Cobblestone Hall at the wedding show. This new and exciting venue that Showtime Events will be running garnered an incredible amount of attention as brides considered the downtown Raleigh historical event facility's many benefits (downtown location convenient to many hotels, nightlife, parking transportation and highways. All of Showtime Events resources and products available in the space for events, etc)
The Showtime Events staff had a great time at the show talking to many wonderful brides, family members, and friends. The ENTIRE convention hall was filled with happy upbeat people who were excited about their upcoming events. It was incredibly motivating!
A special thank you to Brian Mullis for the exceptional photos of our booth (above and below) and Classic Party Rentals in Raleigh for providing plateware to decorate our tables! We look forward to an exciting upcoming year of fun weddings!

Preview: Cheetahs v Kings
Free State Cheetahs play host to the EP Kings for the first of two play-off games to decide whether they will remain in the Currie Cup premier division or be relegated to the first division.
The Bloemfontein-based side had one of their most successful Super Rugby seasons this year, but they have struggled to reproduce the same form in the Currie Cup.
Winning only three of their 10 encounters, relegation beckons if the Free State side cannot produce the goods agains the Kings in Bloemfontein on Friday.
Coach Naka Drotske has chosen his strongest available team for their crucial clash.
However the hosts will need to make do without one of their stalwarts, prop Coenie Oosthuizen, who picked up a lower back injury in the Free State side's loss to Western Province last week.
"It is regretable that Coenie isn't available," said Drotske.
"His loss is a big one, especially for the Springboks and the end-of-year tour.
"We would have looked to him to give the scrums substance, but now he is unavailable.
"We have to face problems like these and keep looking forward."
Meanwhile, the EP Kings have made four changes to the team that started in the First Division final when they narrowly beat the Pumas 26-25.
Former Bulls and Tuks pivot Wesley Dunlop rotates with George Whitehead and will wear the number 10 jersey as the latter drops to the bench. Another switch in the backline sees inside centre Shane Gates come in for the rested Tiger Mangweni.
There are two injury-forced changes among the forwards. Lock David Bullbring and loosehead prop Jaco Engels fill in for Darron Nell and Schalk Ferreira respectively.
Outside centre Wayne Stevens takes over the captaincy during Nell and flank Luke Watson's injury absence.
The teams:
Free State Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Phillip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschange, 6 Hendro Scholtz, 5 Izak van der Merwe, 4 Francois Uys, 3 Ross Geldenhuys, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Marcel van der Merwe.
Replacements: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Schalk van der Merwe, 18 Carl Wegner, 19 Davon Ruabenheimer, 20 Tewis du Bruyn, 21 Phillip Snyman, 22 Rayno Benjamin.
EP Kings: 15 SP Marais, 14 Paul Perez, 13 Wayne Stevens (c), 12 Shane Gates, 11 Marcello Sampson, 10 Wesley Dunlop, 9 Falie Oelschig, 8 Cornell Du Preez, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Devin Oosthuizen, 5 David Bullbring, 4 Reynier Bernardo, 3 Clint Newland, 2 Hannes Franklin, 1 Jaco Engels.
Replacements: 16 Frank Herne, 17 Andre Schlechter, 18 Wayne van Heerden, 19 Mpho Mbiyozo, 20 Scott Mathie, 21 George Whitehead, 22 Michael Killian.

Spend eight full days exploring one of the world's last true wildernesses, connect with the history of exploration while retracing Shackleton's journey, catch sight of whales and albatross following the ship, go ashore with seasoned experts explaining the intricacies of Antarctic ecology, admire the tabular icebergs of the Weddell Sea
Fierce, cold and stunningly beautiful – explorers since Shackleton have grappled with the contrasts of the Weddell Sea. Experience this ultimate Antarctic landscape on a 15-day adventure that defines "once in a lifetime." Cross the Drake Passage to the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Weddell Sea – this less-visited region of Antarctica is the planet's clearest sea and the birthing ground of incredible tabular icebergs. Two attempted shore landings each day means more potential sightings of leopard seals, whales and thriving colonies of roosting penguins. Be a part of history as you embrace Shackleton's spirit. This isn't a polar cruise – it's an adventure.
Arrive at any time, arrival transfer included. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the world's most southerly city.
Embarkation on the MS Expedition begins late in the afternoon, around 4pm at the port in Ushuaia. Enjoy the evening sailing through the Beagle Channel.
Your adventure begins with an 800km (497 mi) crossing of the passage named in honour of 16th-century English sea captain and privateer Sir Francis Drake. The ship is at home in this part of the Southern Ocean. Take in daily lectures from your expedition team, and keep an eye out for your first sightings of icebergs, whales, and albatross following in the Expedition's wake.
Sail to the Antarctic Peninsula's less-visited eastern side. The Weddell Sea is as stunning as it is remote; this is where Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance came to her end (and where your polar adventure begins). Head south and explore the ice edge from the safety of our ice class expedition vessel, encountering truly astounding tabular icebergs and numerous species of penguin, seal and whale along the way. You'll have eight days to explore the region, giving you the longest possible time in this magnificent part of the world.
Begin your northbound journey to your home port of Ushuaia. Review the highlights of your Antarctic experience with our lecturers and staff, and keep your eyes open on the observation deck for some last-minute whale sightings.
Disembark in the morning.

My First Car by senior2010 from jacksonville, FL on 12/23/2009. Trim: 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8 S, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Love the iPod connection and the gas mileage is great.
Cons: The only thing I don't like is the location of the cup holders, it's right by the air conditioning controls. The backseat isn't that big either.
Overall review: It's a good car to buy because it is very low maintenance and it's reliable, and when you clean it up, it looks real good!!!

Zinc producers and traders have secured stable premiums in 2012 contracts, but some consumers in Europe have asked for optionality on supply volumes, fearing further demand deterioration.
Contract zinc premiums have been set at similar levels to those seen in 2011 despite recent softness in spot premiums caused by weak demand and the backwardation in nearby London Metal Exchange zinc spreads, sources told Metal Bulletin.
"The backwardation has probably forced a few traders to take lower premiums but the drop hasn't been too dramatic," a physical trader said.
"I would say premiums have fallen perhaps or $5 or $10, and I don't expect them to move much lower," an analyst added.
Metal Bulletin European zinc premiums were $125-135 per tonne on Friday, down $10 from November 25.
The backwardation in December-January spreads, widely said to have been orchestrated by....

Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I use this product in our living room. It provides great amount of light and has a dimmer switch perfect for movie nights!
Looks beautiful in the living room.
Good product. Packaging was difficult to clean up because the styrofoam was clinging to everything.
Everything about the product and company support were great. But the first lamp arrived shattered. I was surprised the box was not marked fragile. The second time the lamp was shipped it was fine but just by luck because the package was still not labeled fragile.
We bought two of these torchieres that light up our family/tv room. They are just perfect for the area because they use 3 way bulbs so you can have a lot of light for reading or low light for mood lighting. I would highly recommend these torchieres for almost any room.

From the beginnings of intensive study of Jewish music over 100 years ago by A.Z. Idelsohn, approaches have changed significantly. Idelsohn provided the first comparative study of Jewish music comparing various traditions in Europe, the Middle East, to Yemen and beyond. His goal was to explain and define the essence of "Jewish music." As the field of ethnomusicology developed, scholars asked different questions looking more at the complexities of single traditions with less emphasis on larger comparative approaches. This presentation shows how the developments of the field of ethnomusicology, a discipline to look at the connection of music and culture, during the 20th century has impacted studies of Jewish music and offer examples of various approaches. Kligman also shares his research of Syrian Jews in Brooklyn with audio and visual material to demonstrate a particular connection of Jewish culture with Arab music.
Mark Kligman, PhD, is Professor of Jewish Musicology at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York.

Types of Exposure to Rabies
Types of Exposure to Rabies
There are two types of exposure to the rabies virus:
Having contact with blood, urine, or droppings (feces) from a rabid animal does not transmit the rabies virus, so no treatment is needed. But you should always avoid touching or handling wild mammals, especially bats, because of the small chance of a nonbite exposure to the rabies virus. If a bat is found in a room with a sleeping or unconscious person, contact a doctor immediately even if there is no sign of a bite. Children should also be taught to avoid bats and other wild animals whenever possible.
