Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
External HDD Not Powering Off When Unused
I have a Seagate Canvio 500 GB USB 3.0 external harddrive (power comes from USB 3.0, no extra adapter), it has given me no problems up to now, and i'm fairly sure the problem is actually Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit/My doing.
After a few minutes of not being used, it would automatically power off like its supposed to. I dont know when it stopped powering off on its own, but it probably happened when I was networking the drive so my brother could access the movies/music off of it without unplugging it from my comp and plugging it into his laptop.
Ive disabled all share settings and such to try to get it to start powering off on its own again but have had no luck. Even tried disabling search indexer, but hasnt helped either.

Problems with '99 Taurus idle speed
Problems with '99 Taurus idle speed
i just fixed a leak in the radiator tubes so i dont know if that affects what im talking about now
when i bring the car to a complete stop then let go of the breaks... the car goes a lot faster at idle speed than normal, as a matter of fact the speed increases. i checked on it with a computer to see what the problem was and it said it was the idle air control valve, which i already ordered and will be putting it on tomorrow...
anyone know if that really might be the problem? or might something else be causing it too... its driving me insane.
as a matter of fact... i've had to put the car in neutral several times to make it slow down because the breaks get way too heavy... and its shut off a couple times when i've put it back on drive...
any suggestions please?
Since the increase/decrease in RPM's is so profound believe you're on the right track with the Idle Air Control valve. If yours has a mass air flow sensor clean it and new PCV valve and new grommet runs five or six bucks. Do a search for cleaning MAFS and do not touch the wires with anything because they are britle and cost $130.
Idle air control valves are a known problem on these vehicles. You can try cleaning the old one with carb cleaner. Also clean all the orifices from the IAC valve into the throttle body. Clean the throttle plate too. Just make sure you don't get carb cleaner into the electrical portions of the IAC.
Good info on how the IAC works.
Check Idle Control Valve (IAC) Motor Operation
The purpose of the Idle Control Valve (IAC) valve assembly is to control engine idle speed, while preventing stalls due to changes in engine load. The IAC valve, mounted in the throttle body, controls bypass air around the throttle valve.
By moving a conical valve known as a pintle, "IN" toward the seat (to decrease air flow) or "OUT" away from the seat (to increase air flow), a controlled amount of air moves around the throttle plate. If engine speed is too low, more air is bypassed around the throttle valve to increase RPM. If engine speed is too high, less air is bypassed around the throttle valve to decrease RPM. The PCM moves the IAC valve in small steps called counts which can he measured using a scan tool connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
During idle, the proper position of the IAC valve is calculated by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) based on battery voltage, coolant temperature, engine load, and engine RPM. If the RPM drops below specification and the throttle valve is closed, the PCM senses a near stall condition and calculates a new valve position to prevent stalling.
If the IAC valve is disconnected and reconnected while the engine is running, the resulting idle RPM may be wrong and resetting of the IAC valve will be required.
The IAC valve will reset when the ignition is turned "ON" then "OFF." When servicing the IAC valve, it should only be disconnected or connected with the ignition "OFF."
If the PCM is without battery power for any reason, the programmed position of the IAC valve pintle is lost, and replaced with a default value. This causes the engine idle to be unstable for a period of approximately seven to 30 minutes.
The IAC valve affects only the idle characteristics of the vehicle. If it is fully retracted, too much air will be allowed into the manifold and idle speed will be high. If it is stuck closed, too little air will be allowed in the manifold, and idle speed will be too low. If it is stuck part way open, the idle may be rough, and will not respond to engine load changes.
IAC Valve (Typical)
Remove IAC Valve.
Inspect IAC Valve operation.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal +B and negative (-) lead to terminal Na, and check that the valve is closed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the IAC valve. http://autorepair.about.com/library/graphics/58880768.gif
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal +B and negative (-) lead to terminal Nb, and check that the valve is open.
If operation is not as specified, replace the IAC valve. http://autorepair.about.com/library/graphics/58880768a.gif
As always, check the service manual for the proper procedures and specifications for your particular vehicle.
"Idle air control valves are a known problem on these vehicles."
Mine started loping again yesterday now doing it with the AC on or off, varying maybe 50 to 100 RPM's but nowhere near shutting off at idle. Thought I'd take it off and use some MAFS cleaner on it 'cause I can see how the piston sticking wouldn't be a good thing. Anyway, anything special to replacing it, adjustments, etc? Or alll I do is take the old off and put the new on, plug it up and I'm good to go? Advance has them for 50 bucks. Thanks and nice to have another PRO technician with us. :)
Guess you're aware of this new product from CRC: http://www.amazon.com/CRC-Mass-Flow-Sensor-Cleaner/dp/B000EGH57G I found it at Advance.
EDIT: 5/16 socket and took me 15 minutes to take it off and clean it. I sprayed the holes with CRC MAFS cleaner and let it soak and took Q tips and went down in cleaning and it was real cruddy inside. Took six Q tips to get it clean inside. Let it dry then took a couple drops of spray lube and put on the shaft and around piston. Tried to crank it but no go at all. Let it sit a couple minutes then it cranked right up. Letting it idle in the driveway and warm up then I'll horse it around a mile or two and see how she idles. Seemed to lope the most when it was real hot in the afternoon, so we'll see how it does now. Thanks for the tip, I hope you saved me fifty buckaroos.
well i just bought an idle air control valve, a brand new one and i replaced it with the old one and the car accelerates just like before... driving me insane...
I can understand your frustration. OK, I have a few minutes before we leave for the beach house. It can be vacuum leak/air leak, IACV, bad PCV valve or grommet to loose lets air around it. Hoses and tubes all tight and no cracks in the rubber from the filter to the aluminum plenum.
Since you replaced the IAC that's ruled out. Down inside the two holes in the plenum was real nasty like black grease so I washed it out the the MAFS cleaner. How about the throttle body plate, you can see it and is it moving freely and not stcking?
Some forum discussions on your problem:
Question:2003 Ford Taurus 3.0 V6_mileage: 48000. Several months ago our Taurus city gas mileage dropped from about 23 mpg to 16 mpg. The highway miles are still close to 27 mpg. I have had it at two dealers who say no codes show. They replaced the IAC and fuel pump, with same results. When started even in warm weather the car jumps to over 2,000 rpm and remains for up to one minute. Seems to idle rough at about 800 rpm bouncing + or - 100 rpms. At stop lights it wants to idle high sometimes. Is this some type of vacuum leak? Thanks.
Answer: Test the fuel pressure regulator to see if it is leaking raw fuel into the engine. If that checks out okay, your problem is probably caused by a faulty MAS (mass airflow sensor).
Google "99 ford taurus rough idle" and you'll get a lot of hits and best I can tell you is read through them and do research and sooner or later you should hit on something.

I am thinking of adding comments into an old site of mine - when we were on travels using blog to publish, we had a lot of comments, and I miss them :-(
The thing is, I'd like to avoid having to build it from scratch and wondered if anyone has a recommendation for a PHP-comments solution that I could pretty much plug in to an include file.
Naturally I'll need to set up a DB, and ideally I'd like to have captcha in there too.
But mainly I want it to work and produce clean, accessible markup
So, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them. Otherwise I'll just hand code from scratch as originally planned ...

Firefox Plugin Annodex For Searching Audio, Video
timothy posted more than 9 years ago | from the well-lookie-and-hearie-here dept.129
loser in front of a computer writes "ZDNet Australia reports that 'Australia's CSIRO research organisation has developed a Firefox plugin named Annodex that allows browsing through time-continuous media such as audio and video in the same way that HTML allows browsing through text.' I've just checked Annodex out and it's very cool. The sample video from the Perl conference is way funny too." The catch is, the media to be searched has to be prepped first.

Black Screen Clarification?
I see a lot of complaints about games black screening. This has more than one form and one form of it is due to improper video drivers so we will put that aside.
I always get a black screen after launching COD5 however if you wait a few moments the black screen goes away and the game plays fine from that point forward.
Does anyone know the cause and/or a solution to the black screen issue?

Windows 7 Ultimate Vista Ultimate x64
I have had the same problem for ages now, it's the same on Vista and I think it might be more to do with the game updates then Windows 7 or drivers.
I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned anything about it, I was beginning to think it was just me, I think we may just have to wait for a new game update unless someone else comes up with a fix.

Windows 7 Ultimate x32
I've actually had a few. i figured they were due to my gfx card being dated. but i've read a few 'help me Howard' posts on some gaming sites. they state that the black screen (pertaining to games, obviously) is caused when the gfx card drivers reset themselves when under a lot of stress. some kind of fail-safe, i guess, so the card doesnt blow a gasket.
i dont know the technical basis of these claims, or any of that stuff. but hell, i makes sense to me.... maybe some buggy relay in the driver?
-the world may never know
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
Well if we just have to wait so be it I suppose.
I don't understand it though. COD5 is pretty new and you would think that under Vista it would not have this issue.
It is a weird problem but I can deal with it for now I suppose.

Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate)
As I understood it, some ported to PC games are not coded correctly and they just take a little more time to start, Vegas & Vegas 2 come to mind.
When that happens (as I am not a very patient man), I just hit the task manager and if I don't see the game executable, then I worry if I do, all I got to do is go for a smoke and give the game its space
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2009
Yeah I generally wait it out because the game will one of 2 things. If it actually is working the black screen will eventually go away and the game runs fine. But once in a while if there is some kind of issue the game will eventually dump with an error.
Either way it's a real hassle.

It often happens that drivers will hit animals, and they aren't always deer along the roadways, but people might be wondering what is done with the animal's carcass.
Warren Heidt, director with Rockingham County Public Works, says the department has a better solution than burying animals along the road: Workers can compost them.
"It's very good for the environment because this is a very clean process," says Heidt.
Right now, he says large animals, like cows, are being composted at the county landfill.
"We just leave it alone for about 90 days. After 90 days, we'll go ahead and dig into the pile and you'll find nothing but bones," says Heidt. "We take tree limbs, branches, we grind it into a mulch. That's the carbon source. In order to get the process going, we'll mix it with a municipal sludge from a waste treatment plant."
Farmers have also found success.
Lynn Koontz is a cattle and poultry farmer in Dayton and says he's been composting on his farm for about 20 years.
"When we've got a better means, a proven means available to us, such as composting, I feel like it would only be common sense to go that route and remove all that other risk," says Koontz.
He says burying animals or roadkill improperly is cause for concern.
"You never know what you might be dealing with there. It could be rabies. It could be Lyme disease, and by composting it, you're keeping that all under control," adds Koontz.
Heidt says the process of composting works and it's been proven in other states.

Given current concerns about a shortage of primary care health professionals, the committee paid particular attention to the role of nurses, especially APRNs,2 in this area. Today, nurse practitioners (NPs), together with physicians and physician assistants, provide most of the primary care in the United States. Physicians account for 287,000 primary care providers, NPs for 83,000, and physician assistants for 23,000 (HRSA, 2008; Steinwald, 2008). While the numbers of NPs and physician assistants are steadily increasing, the numbers of medical students and residents entering primary care have declined in recent years (Naylor and Kurtzman, 2010). The demand to build the primary care workforce, including APRNs, will grow as access to coverage, service settings, and services increases under the ACA. While NPs make up slightly less than a quarter of the country's primary care professionals (Bodenheimer and Pham, 2010), it is a group that has grown in recent years and has the potential to grow further at a relatively rapid pace.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nursing Research Network commissioned Kevin Stange, University of Michigan, and Deborah Sampson, Boston College, to provide information on the variation in numbers of NPs across the United States. Figures 3-1 and 3-2, respectively, plot the provider-to-primary care doctor of medicine (MD) ratio for NPs and physician assistants by county for 2009.3 The total is calculated as the population-weighted average for states with available data. Between 1995 and 2009, the number of NPs per primary care MD more than doubled, from 0.23 to 0.48, as did the number of physician assistants per primary care MD (0.12 to 0.28) (RWJF, 2010c). These figures suggest that it is possible to increase the supply of both NPs and physician assistants in a relatively short amount of time, helping to meet the increased demand for care.
In addition to the numbers of primary care providers available across the United States and where specifically they practice, it is worth noting the kind of care being provided by each of the primary care provider groups. According to the complexity-of-care data shown in Table 3-1, the degree of variation among primary care providers is relatively small. Much of the practice of primary care—whether provided by physicians, NPs, physician assistants, or certified nurse midwives (CNMs)—is of low to moderate complexity.
APRNs include nurse practitioners (NPs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). When the committee refers to NPs, the term denotes only NPs.
To get a sense of the size and proportion of the NP workforce across the country, Stange and Sampson computed the ratio of the total number of licensed NPs to the total number of primary care MDs, physician assistants, and NPs in a given area. The physician assistant share was computed similarly. These computations are for proportion and growth analysis purposes only; they are not to suggest that all NPs or physician assistants are providing primary care.

If you didn't watch Dr. Phil on February 8, 2012… you missed one of my favorite shows Dr. Phil ever did! Donny Osmond was the featured guest and talked about some of his earlier years growing up as a celebrity person since he was 5 years old. It all wasn't as glorious as most people would think. Very inspiring private conversation between Dr. Phil and Donny. Later Donny was joined on stage with good-time friend Stevie Wonder and they also shared some wonderful inspiring stories and sang some songs together.
Stevie Wonder inspired me most with one quote that will stick with me for many days: "Never Let Your Fear Be Bigger than Your Faith" As a person who has gone through many things in life like cancer, marital problems, auto accidents, suicide in family, money problems, and more… I sometimes felt that fear could have easily taken over my life. But there was always a little something inside of me that said: "You can Do This" …go beat this cancer, be the best dad you can be, you don't need money to live life and be happy! My faith was bigger than my fear and I feel I'm a better person because of it.
Donny Osmond revealed his "fountain of youth" while being interviewed by Dr Phil today. Dr. Phil asked Donny how he gets all his energy and keeps looking so young at age 54? Dr. Phil says: "we've known each other a long time… and you never get older". Donny answered with: "people ask me all the time how I keep my youth?" Donny adds: "I have found something Dr. Phil that I think is the closest thing to the fountain of youth". Dr. Phil says: "really, you do have a secret?" Donny says: "I do have a secret and I've really never talked about it, but it's called Protandim and it works! I'm telling everyone about this product now"
Protandim is backed by published scientific research, and has been shown to increase your antioxidant enzyme production, and reduce inflammation.
Protandim is the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average 40 percent in one month, slowing down the cell aging process to the level of a 20 year old.
How Protandim Works: Many scientists describe the aging process as the effect of oxidative stress on the cells caused by destructive molecules called free radicals. When you are young, your body fights free radicals effectively by producing its own antioxidants. But as you grow older, your body produces more free radicals and less antioxidants to fight the battles of aging and disease. Protandim actively promotes your body's cells to produce a higher level of antioxidants which fight the free radicals at a rate that is unobtainable with vitamin supplements or nutrition.
If you want to start taking Protandim – a one a day herbal supplement, made from Tumeric, Green Tea Extract, Milk Thistle, Ashwaghanda and Bacopa Extract (those last two are Ayurvedic herbs) – click on this link below:

I highly recommend that you make the commitment to take Protandim for at least 120 days. Look for Protandim Discounts on Bulk Purchases.

Road Trip: Day 21 & 22
Thursday morning, we set course for Nordkapp, the North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe reachable by car.
I mean, the place is a tourist trap where you have to pay money to get in and stand at that point, but it's kind of worth it. We did the mandatory photo ops.
And I found Norway's northernmost flowers (well, maybe; there's a place further north that you can get to on foot, but we didn't have time for that).
Inside there were some exhibitions, a shop, and a post office with special stamps, as well as Norway's northernmost chapel, a lovely meditative room with music composed especially for the place by Jan Garbarek.
It felt so strange to be there, right at the top of Norway, knowing that three weeks ago we were standing at its southernmost tip looking out at the North Sea. We travelled so far to get there. That alone feels like an achievement.
When we'd had our fill we turned back and headed south, towards Karasjok and Sápmi Park.
Sápmi Park is sort of a small theme park where you can go and learn about Sami culture and history, buy handmade artefacts, and take part in activities like reindeer lassoing and feeding. We arrived too late for the activities, but we did get to see a video presentation about the old Sami religion, which I enjoyed a lot. It told the story of how the world was created according to their legends, and how the souls of the dead are lifted up into the Northern Lights to watch over us. It was very nice and inspirational.
And we met some reindeer.
Then we had dinner at a Sami themed restaurant. It was a bit expensive, but as it would be our last dinner in Norway before we get home, we decided to splurge, so we all had reindeer filet with gravy and mashed potatoes with truffles and lingonberries and it was just wonderful.
After dinner, we travelled all the way up to Varangerbotn, to Vestre Jakobselv where we stayed at a hostel for the night. It was a long drive, but a lot of it was quite scenic.
The next morning we continued up the Varanger tourist route, to Hamningberg. There's not really much to see out there, mostly just rocks as the treeline out there is basically below sealevel (though we spotted a few eagles, which was cool), but it is the literal end of the road. You're at the north-eastern tip of a peninsula, there is no land border in sight and the road just stops. We decided that this should mark the end of our journey.
So, of course, we brought beer from the world's northernmost brewery, Mack (alcohol free for the driver), to celebrate.
I built a little cairn that I baptised with the dregs of my lager.
When we had all finished our drinks we got back in the car, turned it around and began the journey home.
I slept a lot of the way. Not sure why I was so tired today, but a lot of the time I couldn't keep my eyes open. We crossed the border into Finland, and the scenery changed from rocky, mountainous terrain to Lapland's forests, leafy and full of windswept birch to begin with, before the evergreens took over.
Tonight we are staying at a hostel in the woods, by a lake, about an hour north of Rovaniemi. Tomorrow we continue to Sweden. Now, I sleep. See you tomorrow, Internutters! Tweeting will be sparser now, due to international mobile data rates, but I'll check in once in a while.

great beer can surface in the unlikeliest of places. take kauai, for example.
a few weeks back AF and I flew out to attend moogfest in asheville, NC. as we soon found out, the self-proclaimed "beer city" had a lot to offer.
last weekend I accompanied my fellow LA beer bloggers up to los olivos, buellton, and paso robles for another unforgettable blogger's weekend held by firestone walker.
a few weeks ago AP and I braved some wild weather to explore hood river.
as you may have guessed from my earlier posts, I have a thing for pale ales that have brettanomyces added in secondary.
as hinted in my earlier post, I decided to use my new freezer real estate to jack (fractionally freeze) my cider.
after over three years of dutifully servicing hundreds of homebrew pours, my keezer/kegerator gave up the ghost.
with a little over a month down since the bottling of my solera lambic (and around 19 months since the first fill was brewed), I cracked open a bottle to see how it was doing.
in celebration of overcarbed's fourth anniversary, I finally worked some magic with a good-sized pull from my (p)lambic solera barrel.
a couple weeks ago AP and I flew to portland, rented a truck, and road tripped it out to bend.

my (male) friend once told me that if he didn't jerk off, he'd probably murder people. it's a stress release thing for him.
but look at all these other things that masturbation can do:
-it can help you sleep
-it can satisfy you sexually so you don't make bad/impulsive choices about who you sleep with
-it can satisfy you sexually so you can focus on things that are more important than sex and love
-it can be transcendent and spiritual
-it can ease menstrual cramps
-it's good for your heart and overall sexual health
-it can teach you what you like in bed, so you can teach that to a partner
-it can help you learn to orgasm if you never have before
-it can be a wonderful accompaniment to any kind of crazy sexual fantasy you can dream up
-it can be an activity you share with a partner, or just do on your own
seriously, i don't understand people who think masturbation is wrong/bad/pointless. have they actually tried it? have they actually stuck with it for long enough that they got good at it? probably not.
yours sincerely,
the masturbation fairy

Fettuccine Alfredo is a decadent dish with cream, butter and loaded with parmesan cheese. Perfect for a girls night in. Good thing it's super simple and quick to make. Add some grilled chicken or cooked spinach to change it up a bit.
1 pound dried fettucine
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley, for garnish, optional
Cook the fettucine in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and saute until tender. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in, set over medium-high heat along with the reserved cooking liquid. Add the butter-cream mixture and half of the Parmesan and toss to combine thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
Also delicious sprinkled with fresh herbs such as basil or thyme.
Cranberries have tiny little seeds, but they are quite edible, so no need to pit them. Just treat them like you would any small berry. The tartness of the berries complement the subtle richness of the cake. The nut topping is optional. Recipe states to make in a springform pan. I used a 8×8 baking dish, which also worked fine.
Makes one 10-inch springform cake. Alternately: Four 4-cup loaves or 24 to 30 cupcakes.
3 large eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed and softened at room temperature for 1 hour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract, optional
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups cranberries (12-ounce bag)
Optional pecan topping:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup pecans, unroasted
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan (or a collection of smaller pans. This make 10 to 12 cups of batter.)
Use a stand mixer or hand beaters to beat the eggs and sugar until very smooth and increased in volume. If using a stand mixer, beat on medium speed for 4 to 7 minutes, using the whip attachment. If using hand beaters, beat on high speed for 6 to 8 minutes. The egg and sugar mixture will double in volume and turn very pale yellow, leaving ribbons on top of the batter when you lift the beaters.
Beat in the butter, vanilla, and almond extract, if using. Beat for 2 minutes or until the butter is smoothly incorporated.
Use a spatula to fold in the flour, salt, and cranberries. The batter will be quite thick. Spread gently into the prepared pan.
To prepare the optional pecan topping, heat the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir. Add the pecans and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the butter and sugar mixture is shiny and smooth and the nuts are well-coated with the butter and sugar. Spread over the cake batter.
Bake 60 to 80 minutes for the springform. For smaller pans, start checking after 30 minutes, but expect small loaves to take at least 40 minutes. Tent the cake with foil in the last 30 minutes of baking to keep the top from browning (this is especially important for the pecan topping).
Cool for 20 minutes then run a knife around the inside edge of the pan and remove the cake. Cool for an hour before serving.
The cake keeps and freezes well. To store, wrap the fully cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and leave in a dry, cool place for up to 1 week.
To freeze, wrap the fully cooled cake in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature, still wrapped.
Sesame Miso Dressing
¼ cup white miso
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 TB vegetable oil
4 tsp sesame oil
4 tsp mirin
4 tsp roasted sesame seeds
¾ tsp sugar
1 tsp grated garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
1 TB sliced green onions
Whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Will last up to 1 week refrigerated.
Serve with mixed greens of your choice. I used spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, onion, etc.
Hummus Dip
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed, plus more for garnish
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dark Asian sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 to 15 grinds black pepper
1/4 cup water
Paprika, for garnish
In a blender combine all the ingredients except the parsley and paprika to be used for garnish. Blend on low speed until smooth. You'll have to stop the blender often to push down the ingredients. If the mixture is too dry and you're having trouble blending it, add a few more tablespoons of olive oil to help things along.
Scrape the hummus onto a plate. Sprinkle the paprika over the top, drizzle lightly with olive oil, scatter some parsley on top, and serve. You can make the hummus up to a couple of hours before you serve it. Cover the top with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature.
Sigara boregi is a Turkish cigarette- shaped pastry made with feta cheese and phyllo dough. This savory pastry is perfect with coffee, but can be eaten as an appetizer or side dish. I like to eat them for breakfast.
These are seriously addicting. If you can find fresh or packaged Yufka, that's the way to go. Yufka is a bit thicker than phyllo, and will hold better for borek. Not to mention it tastes delicious. You can usually find it in Middle Eastern or Ethnic markets.
1 package of phyllo dough, thawed (8 oz), or 8 oz fresh yufka, if you can find it
2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup parsley, minced
1 egg
olive oil for frying
half stick melted butter
In a mixing bowl, mix feta, egg, and parsley together.
Prepare oil to fry. The desired heat of the oil is 350 degrees.
While the oil is heating, remove phyllo from refrigerator. Be sure to have a damp towel on hand to cover the phyllo you are not working with.
Take one sheet of phyllo and cut into fourths. Each piece should be about 4×8. Brush each piece with melted butter. Place about 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture at the base and roll up. Seal by adding a little melted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo and cheese mixture.
Fry in about 2 inches of oil for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Serve immediately.
Pita Bread
16 pitas about 8 inches in diameter
Fresh homemade pita — made with half white, half whole wheat flour — is easy to make and delicious. Pitas are best when baked on a baking stone or on unglazed quarry tiles; you can also place them on a baking sheet.
1 teaspoon dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water (approximately 105 degrees F)
2 cups whole wheat flour
About 4 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
You will need a large bread bowl, a rolling pin, and unglazed quarry tiles or several baking sheets, or alternatively a castiron or other heavy skillet or griddle at least 9 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a large bread bowl. Stir to dissolve. Add whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, then 1 cup white flour. Stir 100 times (one minute) in the same direction to activate the gluten in the flour. Let this sponge rest for at least 10 minutes or as long as 2 hours.
Sprinkle salt over the sponge and stir in the olive oil. Mix well. Add white flour, one cup at a time. When the dough is too stiff to stir, turn it out onto a lightly floured bread board and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Return the dough to a lightly oiled bread bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until at least double in size, approximately 1 1/2 hours. Gently punch down. Dough can be made ahead to this point and then stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 5 days or less.
If at this time you want to save the dough in the refrigerator for baking later, simply wrap it in a plastic bag that is at least three times the size of the dough, pull the bag together, and secure it just at the opening of the bag. This will give the dough a chance to expand when it is in the refrigerator (which it will do). From day to day, simply cut off the amount of dough you need and keep the rest in the refrigerator, for up to one week. The dough will smell slightly fermented after a few days, but this simply improves the taste of the bread. Dough should be brought to room temperature before baking.
This amount of dough will make approximately 16 pitas if rolled out into circles approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter and less than 1/4-inch thick. You can also of course make smaller breads. Size and shape all depend on you, but for breads of this dimension the following baking tips apply:
Place unglazed quarry tiles, or a large baking stone or two baking sheets, on a rack in the bottom third of your oven, leaving a one inch gap all around to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide dough in half, then set half aside, covered, while you work with the rest. Divide dough into eight equal pieces and flatten each piece with lightly floured hands. Roll out each piece to a circle 8 to 9 inches in diameter. You may wish to roll out all eight before starting to bake. Cover rolled out breads, but do not stack.
Bake 2 at a time (or more if your oven is larger) directly on quarry tiles or baking sheets. Bake each bread for 3 or 4 minutes, until the bread has gone into a full "balloon" or until it is starting to turn lightly golden, whichever happens first. If there are seams or dry bits of dough – or for a variety of other reasons – your bread may not go into a full "balloon". Don't worry, it will still taste great. The more you bake pitas the more you will become familiar with all the little tricks and pitfalls, and your breads will more consistently "balloon." But even then, if you're like us, it won't always "balloon" fully and you won't mind because the taste will still be wonderful. When baked, remove, place on a rack for about five minutes to let cool slightly, then wrap breads in a large kitchen towel (this will keep the breads soft). When first half of the dough has been rolled out and baked, repeat for rest of dough, or store in refrigerator for later use, as described above. You can also divide the dough into more, smaller pieces if you wish, to give you smaller breads.
Scallion Pancakes
Makes 4 pancakes
For the Pancakes:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting work surface
1 cup boiling water
Up to 1/4 cup toasted sesame seed oil
2 cups thinly sliced scallion greens
For the Dipping Sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon finely sliced scallion greens
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh garlic
To Cook:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Place flour in bowl of food processor (see note). With processor running, slowly drizzle in about 3/4 of boiling water. Process for 15 seconds. If dough does not come together and ride around the blade, drizzle in more water a tablespoon at a time until it just comes together. Transfer to a floured work surface and knead a few times to form a smooth ball. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the fridge.
Divide dough into four even pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Working one ball at a time, roll out into a disk roughly 8-inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface. Using a pastry brush, paint a very thin layer of sesame oil over the top of the disk. Roll disk up like a jelly roll, then twist roll into a tight spiral, tucking the end underneath. Flatten gently with your hand, then re-roll into an 8-inch disk.
Paint with another layer or sesame oil, sprinkle with 1/2 cup scallions, and roll up like a jelly roll again. Twist into a spiral, flatten gently, and re-roll into a 7-inch disk. Repeat steps two and three with remaining pancakes.
Combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside at room temperature.
Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick or cast-iron over medium-high heat until shimmering and carefully slip pancake into the hot oil. Cook, shaking the pan gently until first side is an even golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip with a spatula or tongs (be careful not to splash the oil), and continue to cook, shaking pan gently, until second side is even golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt, cut into 6 wedges. Serve immediately with sauce for dipping. Repeat with remaining 3 pancakes.
Quick and Easy Chocolate Cupcakes
8 TB unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp fine salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg, room temp.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Confectioners sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake liners.
Put the butter, coffee, and cocoa in a medium saucepan, and whisk until the butter is melted. Whisk to combine.
Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Beat the sour cream with the egg and vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk in the hot cocoa mixture just to combine. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes clean, about 35 minutes.
Cool the cake on a rack for 15 minutes, then unmold, turn it upright, and cool completely on the rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Makes 12 cupcakes.

A big thank you to the 240,494 fans who have been over to visit since the last post. I've been through a small detour in life, but it is good to be back and bringing you more yummy recipes here on H&B.
This is one of our favorite roll recipes right now. With generous amounts of both honey and butter in it, these seemed fitting for the occasion. These rolls do take a bit of a rise time, so either start early in the afternoon, or make it during a lazy weekend at home to freeze for the week.
Honey and Butter Rolls
1 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
a 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
2 large egg yolks
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
In a small saucepan, heat milk with honey, stirring, over low heat just until lukewarm and remove pan from heat. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add butter and yolks, whisking until combined well.
Transfer milk mixture to bowl of a standing electric mixer (or to a large bowl, if kneading by hand). Add flour and salt gradually to milk mixture, stirring until incorporated. With dough hook, knead dough until smooth, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, dough may be kneaded by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.)
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in refrigerator overnight, or until doubled in bulk. (Alternatively, dough may be allowed to rise in a warm place about 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.)
Grease 2 baking sheets. Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces. Form each piece into an egg shape and transfer pieces to prepared baking sheets.
In a small saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove pan from heat and keep glaze warm, covered.
Brush half of warm glaze on rolls and let rise, covered loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place 45 minutes or less, or until doubled, in bulk (rising will take longer if dough is cold).
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Heat remaining glaze over low heat just until warm and brush rolls. Bake rolls in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets in oven halfway through baking, 20 minutes, or until golden, and transfer to racks to cool.
Serve rolls warm or at room temperature.

Better Accountability Needed Over U.S. Assistance to Micronesia and the Marshall Islands
RCED-00-67: Published: May 31, 2000. Publicly Released: May 31, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the federal assistance the United States provides to the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, focusing on the: (1) cost to the United States of providing assistance to Micronesia and the Marshall Islands in accordance with the existing Compact of Free Association from fiscal year (FY) 1987 through FY 1999; (2) funds provided prior to the Compact (earlier than FY 1987) for the effects of nuclear weapons testing to what is now the Marshall Islands; and (3) accuracy and reliability of the data the Department of the Interior uses to monitor and supervise the federal assistance programs.
GAO noted that: (1) since the implementation of the Compact of Free Association in 1986, the United States has provided more than $2.6 billion in financial and other assistance, of which more than $1.5 billion was provided to Micronesia and over $1.1 billion was provided to Marshall Islands during fiscal years 1987 through 1999; (2) Interior provided the majority of the assistance, about $2 billion, through quarterly payments to the islands' bank accounts to be used for such purposes as capital construction projects, energy production, communication capabilities, and current account costs, such as those for payroll, maintenance, and other governmental activities; (3) the remaining half billion dollars was provided by 19 federal agencies in the form of grants, loans, equipment, and technical assistance, such as weather forecasting support and airport training activities; (4) prior to the Compact, the United States provided about $250 million in funding and assistance to what is now Marshall Islands for the effects of the U.S. nuclear weapons testing program that took place in the Marshall Islands during the 1940s and 1950s; (5) the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and Interior provided direct payments to the Marshall Islands' governments and individuals, rehabilitation and resettlement services, and health care and monitoring of islanders exposed to radioactive fallout; (6) in gathering and verifying data on the cost of U.S. assistance provided to the Islands, GAO found inaccuracies and inconsistencies with the data being used by Interior to supervise and monitor federal assistance programs; (7) for example, Interior had a number of errors in the budget data it reported annually to Congress on direct payments to the Islands; (8) there were significant inconsistencies in Interior's data on the assistance provided by other agencies to the Islands and the data the agencies reported to GAO; (9) Interior had not used the annual audit information available from the Islands to corroborate its figures; and (10) collectively, therefore, Interior's ability to accurately report on assistance provided is called into question.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The decision as to who, if anyone, has monitoring responsibility for all Federal programs will be outlined in a new executive order, which, as of May 14, 2004, is currently being drafted by the Department of State.
Recommendation: In the event Interior retains monitoring and coordination oversight as a result of the current negotiations, the Secretary of the Interior should direct the Office of Insular Affairs to develop a system to obtain and maintain data on all U.S. financial and program assistance provided to Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Such a system might include making agreements with other agencies to regularly report assistance provided and making use of the annual audit reports from Micronesia and the Marshall Islands to help identify how funds are allocated.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department of Interior's Office of Insular Affairs adjusted their budget justification tables to reflect a consolidated request covering Federal services and single audits. Also, the actual financial information about amounts obligated in reimbursable agreements and the amounts paid as reimbursements are retained in the official accounting records of the Department.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Office of Insular Affairs to reconcile the amounts reimbursed to other agencies shown in the budget justification table to the amounts reported by the agencies that receive reimbursements from Interior.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department of State fully concurred with the recommendation, and reported that the Department has negotiated provisions with the Island governments that will require that reliable data be maintained to ensure better accountability of assistance provided by the U.S. government. Currently, a formal proposal with the negotiated provisions has been made to the Federated States of Micronesia and an informal proposal has been made to the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Department of State predicts that the provisions will be finalized by approximately August 2002.
Recommendation: Given that negotiations are under way on provisions of the Compact that expire in 2001, the Secretary of State should negotiate provisions that require that reliable data be maintained to ensure better accountability of the assistance provided. Requiring periodic reconciliation of accounts between Interior, the other agencies providing assistance, and the Islands is one means to achieve this objective.

October 30 2014 Latest news:
By Matthew Gooding
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
A group campaigning to keep a village church clock chiming are appealing for help raising funds to pay for legal advice to aid their fight.
The Save the Church Chimes of Ashwell group wants to ensure the chimes at St Mary's Church in Ashwell continue to ring throughout the night, as they have for the last 117 years.
The campaign is holding a coffee morning this Saturday, March 15, for people to get an insight into their work.
All money raised during the morning will go towards paying for a solicitor to advise the group.
Last summer residents living near the church complained about the noise of the clock disturbing their sleep.
An investigation by North Herts District Council determined that the chimes exceed the World Health Organisation's noise limit of 35 decibels, and as a result, Ashwell Parish Council agreed to switch the quarter-hour chimes off between 11.05pm and 5.55am – with the clock still ringing on the hour – for a trial period.
Though the district council has yet to take any formal action regarding the noise levels of the chimes, Chris Pack, from Save the Church Chimes of Ashwell, said: "We want to engage a solicitor so we know where we stand legally.
"We went to see the parish council at its last meeting to ask if they would appoint one for us, and they have agreed to look into how much it would cost. But we have decided to take it upon ourselves to find the money, because we don't want the chimes turned off, and we know a lot of other people in the village feel the same."
As reported in the Crow last month, the group is set to attend the annual parish meeting on March 26 to call for a parish poll on the issue.
The coffee morning will run from 10am-midday on Saturday at the Ashwell United Reformed Church Hall.

How come the moderates(people who understand other peoples feelings) seem to think that the people who want the chimes off are right? Since when did one person have the right to look after other peoples health,stop smoking, surely its up to the individual. Do not drink,Dont take sleeping pills and drive, Don't load yourself up with any drug when looking after children.Dont leave your child locked in your vehicle ,unattended . Surely the people with extra sensitive hearing should take their own health into account ie. double glazing, secondary double glazing, some form of sound proofing in this modern day and age ,they should look after themselves,and should not be attension seekers,or a burden or stoop to vandalism to bully their way and cry wolf when it doesn't work. They are their own problem and should keep it to themselves and seek phychatric or medical help for their problems,years ago there was the 3 counties hospital which the locals called the looney bin

Whilst I can appreciate the historical significance of the church chimes, surely we have a responsibility to ensure people's wellbeing is a factor in determining when is appropriate for them to chime? Just because something has existed for a long time, doesn't mean it is right, it just means people may have learned to accept the consequences e.g. sleep disturbance. I fear this argument is in fact nothing to do with the chimes, but a class war of the haves and have-nots and the fear of change from "outsiders". Change will always happen, people can't live in a bubble or utopia world and the law protects against mob-rule where the real arguments are lost by those with entrenched views.

I'm very sorry to rain on your parade Mr Robert, but I find it sad that your lack of knowledge forces you to automatically surmise that those Ashwell families and residents who wish for the chimes of their church clock to continue and ring out are all so poor. Maybe one day someone wiser will take the time to explain to you that driving a nice big expensive car and having a huge mortgage just to own that fashion statement post code by no means says you're rich. Perhaps it is indeed those huge mortgage payments and the hire purchase payments for the car that cause the lack of sleep that you mention, but then who am I to know such things being the mere peasant I am?
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
"Robert" You say "Class war of have & have-nots" I wonder what your definitioncriteria is for both of these. I suspect you are referring to materialmonetary means. If so this is very subjective - I for one could be judged poor by some standards & rich by others. However if you talk of something far more important like integrity, compassion, loyalty, honesty - true values - then I am a "have" - hence my solidarity with others & their just cause to retain the chimes as they are. I agree with you that we do "have a responsibility to ensure peoples well being as a factor to determine when they chime" which is why you find 99% of the village wanting them left as they are. As for "change" - it is an integral & necessary part of life. But I fear this has nothing to do with change for the right reasons. Interesting you judge people standing up for their village as "mob rule" most of which were at some point what you also term as "outsiders"!
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Thank you Robert for your words of wisdom. To put the record straight I have lived in the village for 38 years,bought a property in the village and done fairly well for myself. By addressing the group as Mob Rule is an insult to all concerned.These are all people who I grew up with and have respect for irrespective of their class or creed. I need say no more !!
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
I am afraid that Robert's view is misguided; not to mention offensive to those of us working tirelessly to preserve one of Ashwell's most beloved characteristics. Yes Robert, change will always happen and one of the biggest changes of modern times is sound-proof double glazing, something that seems to have not occurred to any of the complainants who want the chimes switched off at night for their own reasons. I have asked these complainants why people living much closer to the church have no issue with the chimes when they themselves are so affected, and they are unable to answer. I'll also make it clear that more than one complainant is a long term resident, they are not all newcomers. One complainant has moved from elsewhere in the village to opposite the church and only now has decided to make a fuss. It is not unreasonable to expect that a magnificent church will have a chiming clock. It is part of our history and culture and a great comfort to many of those who live within earshot of the melodic heartbeat of the village. Perhaps Robert would care to clarify what he means by "haves and have-nots". What we have is a very small group of people trying to use force and bullying to silence the 118 year old chimes. Is it a class issue then, to fight for something that is dear to you? It seems that money has much to do with it as all the complainants own expensive property but spent so much on their houses there was no cash left over for double glazing. They want the elite postcode but not the traditions that come with it. So maybe not a class thing - after all, that's the only thing that money cannot buy. All are welcome at our coffee morning on 15th March, 10am-12pm at URC Hall, Hight St, Ashwell. All proceeds to Save the Church Chimes of Ashwell Legal Representation Fund.

Health Care Act raised premiums
03/24/11 at 5:38pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Dr. Galloway is flat out wrong when he says that the "Affordable Health Care Act", aka "Obamacare" has provided lower costs for Americans across the country. ("Act has improved health care in US") While I am sure he can site some people who may have saved money, this law is currently costing my family $150 per month […]

Bill does not protect the unborn
03/26/10 at 5:21pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Regarding the article ("Democrats jubilant at bill signing" March 24): The executive order does nothing to protect the unborn as this does not bind Obama's successors, the courts, or the pro-abortion activists in his own party. Will an essentially anti-abortion American public stand for a health care bill that paves the way for federally funded […]

Gems "Void Moon"
Void Moon
I've been listening to this gem (ahahahahaha) from newish DC duo Gems all morning and it's reaaaaaaaally making me wish I was back in bed dreaming. "Void Moon" was recorded in an empty beach house in Outer Banks, NC just days before the two were forced to evacuate the beach due to the hurricane, which is just a PERFECT backstory because this sounds exactly like what I'd want to be hearing while watching a storm over the water. Sounds a bit to me like Victorialand-era Cocteaus sans Liz Fraser—and you'll never hear any complaints from me about Guthrie-eqsue guitar tones.
In COMPLETELY unrelated news: If you're not getting you're daily supplement of Catcall's "The World Is Ours" you're 100% missing out on the potential for feeling REALLY GOOD.
