Bachi Burger
There is a self-imposed rule to visit any new place twice before making a post, but Bachi Burger (470 East Windmill) created such a favorable first impression that there is no hesitation. This is the inspiration of Lorin Watada, who served as a corporate chef for Roy's before branching out. Bachi is short for "hibachi", so the focus is on grilled burgers (Angus or American Wagyu), with a lot of Pacific Rim/Asian influences. But also some other interesting options, like Peking Duck, Short Rib and Pork Belly steamed buns; a variety of salads and appetizers; some really intriguing desserts (Macadamia Nut Toffee Cake with White Chocolate Yuzu Gelato, Port Wine Cherry Glazed Pop Tart, Mandarin Orange Cream Float, etc.); and a host of boba tea's and milk shakes.
Because it was hard to narrow the focus a server's recommendation of "Kiki's Burger", with sautéed shiitake & eryngii mushrooms, caramelized bacon, sweet onion marmalade and gruyere, on a Hawaiian sweet bun, was the call, and it worked – the ingredients were fresh and well-balanced, creating a lot of flavors and textures. On the side, sweet potato fries with kaffir lime sea salt, and a yuzu citrus aioli. Also well-executed (why do fries taste better when served from a cone?). From the creativeness of the menu, to the quality of the service, it appears as though a lot of thought has gone into this. Opening off the Strip in the 2010 Las Vegas economy is challenging, but they may have what it takes (note that the burger was $7.50 for five ounces, which is an extremely good value for that kind of quality).
Thanks for the review. This will effectively negate any calories burned at the Pilates + Yoga studio in the same complex. Oh, and R.I.P. Dunkin Donuts on Windmill. :(
Stopped by tonight for dinner - definitely need to improve on the service, but the food ? It's a winner !! Can someone tell me why they opted for Windmill ?!?
I agree. Bachi Burger is the best new spin on the classic burger I've ever seen!
Prices are fair and the food in endlessly inventive. Only down-side is that the restaurant is in an odd location. But if you wait long enough, it'll become a franchise and there'll be one in your neighborhood.
Burger Bar is good but it's not in the same league of inventiveness as Bachi Burger.
re: jjo1953
So I hit up Bachi Burger on the way home from work tonite. They are open till 2am every night (yes!) and it's great to have another good dining choice in the neighborhood that's open quite late. (If any of you have been over to Sushi-Mon after midnight, that place is -packed- every night!)
My server was Lance, and he was quite memorable. He was efficient and very friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed/nervous. Perhaps because I was a lone woman diner, he felt bad for me all by myself, and was chatty in a good way. Lance, take a deep breath hon..You've been open for all of 24 days, and once you get a bit more relaxed and confident, you will be a great server!
The food was -wonderful-! I got the Kiki's burger, and it was really really tasty. I'm a onion and mushroom addict, and it was right up my alley. The meat was juicy and had good flavor. After eating it halfway gone, it dawned on me I should have asked if they can/would cook the meat medium, instead of well done. But, even with that, it was still delicious.
I got the standard french fries with the pinapple-tomato ketchup. Nice and thin, crispy and hot, so I was a happy lady. That ketchup tho!!?? Put it on dirt and i'd eat that happily! SO addictive it was.
They serve many types of boba, but I was thrilled to find they serve mughi-cha iced tea. I think this is the first place in Vegas that actually makes it, and perhaps that alone made me in such a good mood, it made the rest of my meal stellar.
Go, go go if you are in the neighborhood. NOW! Before it's always packed and you can't even get a table.. I'm taking my hubby there this weekend.
re: Honeychan
Took my hubby to Bachi Burger on Sunday. He ordered the standard burger, with bacon and cheese, and I got the pork belly bao sandwiches.
Wow, I loved the almost creamy pork belly,in a tasty hoisin .sauce But the portion was -very- small, almost snack-sized to me. I was still hungry after finishing them, so I ordered their Portugese donuts (aka malasadas) which were hot, and with a cinnamon-sugar coating. Delicious!
The #1 issue is I think on the chef-side of things. They take too long IMHO to get food out. I hope this changes as they get more efficient and familiar with their menu.
The staff is still friendly and attentive, no issues with them at all.
We went for lunch on Monday, and they were -PACKED-. This is a good sign!
re: Honeychan
I haven't tried Match yet, but I found a discount for you:
re: westie
The link just goes to the generic "question of the day" page at LVA.
re: Dave Feldman
Oops, sorry. Here is the corrected link for a discounted gift certificate for Match:
I saw this place being built and meant to get over before, but didn't manage it until now. The place was excellent.
For starters we had the garlic and pepper edamame, which weren't half bad. A little spicy, and perhaps a bit oily for me.
We ordered the Kiki's burger, as well as the steamed peking duck sandwich. For the kids, we ordered the grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was excellent. A good mixture of rich melty cheese with the crustiness of the panini.
The burger was excellent as well, very well seasoned and perfectly cooked. It had a rich buttery bun, and the earthiness of the mushrooms played well off the bun and the marmalade. It was a very good size burger as well.
The steamed bun with the peking duck was very good as well. The bread was delicate, but not falling apart. The duck was nicely fatty without being greasy and cooked very well. The peking duck sauce was good, and nicely traditional, especially when you combined with the egg and the salad greens. A little smaller on the portion size, but perfectly adequate.
The fries were crispier than normal, but very good. We ordered the regular fries with the pineapple ketchup. It was a nice surprise as it looked like regular ketchup, but had a strong pineapple taste. Very nice and worked well.
They had a nice selection of boba, and custom sodas, which we didn't try but will look at for next time.
Total for our meal, including tip was under $40. For the quality, a very good value.
I must quibble that our server was not excellent, and in addition to being somewhat standoffish, let the service lapse somewhat. It was like they didn't quite have everything down yet. i saw a few misdeliveries of orders as well. The other servers were friendly and helped out, and there were no major flaws. It may have been that they were just overly busy, as I understand that recent articles, as well as a visit by Rick Noonen, have boosted the profile of this restaurant.
The owner was very friendly, and made for a great dinner. I especially liked his house made pickles.
As we live within walking distance I will be back again sooner rather than later.
re: inqydesu
Can you give me an idea what neighborhood this is in? I want to try it, but I've never even HEARD of Windmill st.....
re: janetofreno
It's in the south. Blue Diamond becomes Windmill, east of Las Vegas Boulevard. Bachi is a couple of miles east of LVB on Windmill. It's a bit out of the way for me so I haven't gone yet, but I plan to.
re: janetofreno
If you're driving on the I-15, soing south, exit Blue Diamond Rd, and make a left. At LVB, it then becomes Windmill. It's about 2 miles down the road, on the left-hand side, I believe the cross-street is Bermuda.
Totally worth the trip!

Times may have changed, but courtesy never goes out of style. In today's world sometimes it's complicated to figure out how to do the right thing. Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at www.news-sentinel.com.
Q. Karen, is it acceptable and considered polite to share a dessert in a restaurant? It seems many people would just like a bite of dessert, and getting one to share seems to make sense.
A. Sharing food in a restaurant is acceptable, but there are a few things to keep in mind if you do. First, consider the people you are with and make sure it is something they don't mind doing. Many people do not like the idea. And it isn't something I would recommend doing if you are at a business-related meal or with people you don't know well.
However, some types of food beg to be shared and are served family style, such as Chinese food. Most people expect to share what they ordered with others in a Chinese restaurant because of the generous portions and the opportunity to taste multiple dishes.
Some other things to consider:
•Always ask the others at the table if they'd like to share something before you order and put it on your bill.
•Don't ask to have a bite of someone else's dessert, or any other part of his or her meal, unless the person offers or you know him or her very well.
•Request extra forks and small, clean plates to cut down on the mess.
•Ask for serving utensils so no one has to give up a fork.
•For hygienic reasons, divide the food before anyone has taken a bite of it.
•Make sure the restaurant doesn't mind, and consider having the dish split in the kitchen if that would make it easier to share.
•Add a little extra onto the tip if your server has gone to extra trouble.
•Don't take more than your share.
•Don't eat off someone else's plate, and don't ask to clean up that person's plate.
There are a lot of people who are into food these days, and going to new restaurants and trying and sharing new dishes can be fun and part of the experience. Just be sure you are dining with fellow foodies, or you may get a raised eyebrow from your dinner partners.

It certainly has been a somber week of news.
Wednesday evening, as I was leaving our eighth-grade basketball practice, I saw a message on my phone that two bodies found by hunters in eastern Iowa were believed to be the missing young cousins from Evansdale. That was later confirmed.
As a parent, hearing news like that puts a knot in your stomach. You're always hoping for the positive outcome. But just like the Corinne Perry case when I first moved here in the mid-1980s, all too often the result in a missing person case is tragic.
Last weekend, I anticipated the joyous occasion of visiting the newly-purchased house by our son Brett and his wife Shawna in Nashville. It indeed was a terrific visit, but it seemed like bad news kept breaking.
First was the Kansas City tragedy Saturday morning, as Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher murdered the mother of his child, then hopped in his car and drove to the Chiefs practice facility. He thanked coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli, and then shot himself in the head in front of them.
The aftermath of that event included a rant on our gun culture by Fox columnist Jason Whitlock — a former staff member at the Kansas City Star — which was controversially referenced on Sunday Night Football by NBC commentator Bob Costas.
Costas took a lot of heat, but I think some people were hearing what they wanted to hear — an attack on second amendment rights — when Costas was actually trying to inject some discourse on domestic violence in America. Afterward, he said the 90-second segment wasn't adequate for such a debate.
"I do not want to see the second amendment repealed," Costas later said on the Dan Patrick Show. "People should be allowed to own guns for their own protection. Obviously, those who are hunters ... But, access to guns is too easy in some cases. Why do you need a semi-automatic weapon? What possible use is there?"
Heck, on the same weekend, the news carried a report that a guy coming out of a convenience store didn't like the loud music from a teenager's car. When the kids refused to turn down the volume, he opened fire on the car and suddenly there was a meaningless homicide.
All you can do is shake your head at that stuff and wonder how our society produces such disregard for life.
The news that hit home for me last weekend was the death of famed college basketball coach Rick Majerus.
When I caught the coaching bug several years ago, Majerus was one of my key resources.
When Majerus spoke at an IBCA clinic in Urbandale, I had him sign my copy of his book, "My Life on a Napkin," which chronicled his coaching life and experiences, many of which involved diagramming plays on restaurant napkins during sessions with colleagues "talking ball."
When Brett told us he was going to attend the University of Utah as a freshman, the wheels started turning about getting further access to the longtime Utes coach.
But, alas, Majerus ended his 15-year stint in Salt Lake the spring before Brett enrolled at the university. Before taking the St. Louis University job in 2007, Majerus offered his expertise on ESPN broadcasts. I tuned in to any game he called, just to pick up any nuances I hadn't heard before.
At St. Louis, CNA sports editor Scott Vicker had regular contact with him as he attended all of the press conferences in his involvement in campus radio coverage of the Billikens.
But he probably never got personally chewed out by Majerus like I did a few years ago at a clinic held in Marshalltown Community College's gym.
I was sitting near the front, capturing his presentation on my video camera, so I could use it again, perhaps in an instructional setting with my teams. In particular, he was a master at utilizing the pick-and-roll in his offensive schemes.
Suddenly, he was in my face, telling me to turn off the camera immediately, and to give him the video tape. I think he worried it might end up on the Internet in some form, competing with his own videos that carried a price tag.
I compromised. I shut down the camera, but I did not hand over any of my own property. He let it go, but not before also yelling at a guy in the back row for typing on a laptop computer during his clinic.
(Majerus wasn't technologically savvy, and did not realize the young coach was actually typing notes as the coach spoke. Majerus thought he was just not paying attention, and fiddling on his computer in a disrespectful manner.)
Beat writers covering his teams at Marquette, Ball State, Utah and St. Louis (517-216 record) often spoke of run-ins with the gruff, sometimes surly Majerus. But, he was also fascinating, and incredibly loyal to his players and his friends.
The fact that he could take a school like Utah to the 1998 national championship game (loss to Kentucky) was testament to his incredible ability in coaching, and recruiting. To get to the finals they beat Lute Olson's No. 1-seeded Arizona in the West Regional, and then No. 1 overall seed North Carolina.
He had two NBA players in Andre Miller and Keith Van Horn there, and a bunch of others who knew their role and played with the same passion he brought to the gym every day.
I loved it that he shared his knowledge with coaches from every level, like a basketball everyman. With no pretense. He showed up at the Marshalltown clinic wearing an old T-shirt and baggy gym shorts, not like some slickster like Rick Pitino.
That's probably from his upbringing in Sheboygan Falls, Wis., the son of a union labor leader and a housewife who did part-time factory work in Milwaukee. (I got a kick out of his thick Wisconsin accent, pronouncing the word "offense" as "oh-fence." It was like he was talking between bites of bratwurst.)
Majerus was genuine and real, and yet from that background he grew a deep sense of intellectual curiosity. He could talk about a multitude of subjects beyond his life study, basketball.
He was equally concerned about his players' academic effort and performance on the court. He said his 1998 team may have been the only Final Four team with two academic All-Americans on the floor.
It's fitting that University of Utah officials will honor the legacy of Rick Majerus by hanging a replica of his trademark white sweater from the rafters at the Huntsman Center, where he toiled from 1989 to 2004.
Majerus died too early at age 64, after battling weight and heart issues for years. He was awaiting a heart transplant.
But he left behind lifelong lessons to many of us who gained from his unselfish sharing. Every time I teach the proper angle on a high screen, telling a kid to "turn the corner," I'll think of that unique big guy with that northeastern Wisconsin dialect.

Test ID: SLC1B
Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter Family Member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) Genotype, Statin, Blood
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Genomic DNA is extracted from whole blood. Genotyping for the SLCO1B1*5 allele is performed using a PCR-based 5'-nuclease assay. Fluorescently labeled detection probes anneal to the target DNA. PCR is used to amplify the section of DNA that contains the *5 allele. If the detection probe is an exact match to the target DNA, the 5'-nuclease polymerase degrades the probe, the reporter dye is released from the effects of the quencher dye, and a fluorescent signal is detected. A genotype is assigned based on the allele-specific fluorescent signals that are detected.(Package insert: Taqman SNP Genotyping Assay, Applied Biosystems. rev D 07/2010)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
1 day
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
8 days
Specimen Retention Time Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
Whole Blood: 2 weeks; Extracted DNA: 2 months
Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test

I want to block magnetic field of the very strong magnet, can I put it inside faraday cage to block its magnetic field?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free.
No. The point of a Faraday cage is that it's made of a conductor, which responds to electric fields. A strong magnetostatic field is different, and will barely be affected by the Faraday cage. (The cage may have some magnetic properties, but that's not what makes it a Faraday cage, and it's unlikely to have a significant impact.)
There's a little info on Wikipedia about magnetic shielding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding#Magnetic_shielding

Arbi / Colocassia or seppankizhangu (in Tamil) can be an ugly looking vegetable...but lends itself to some delicious dishes. Ask those good Tamil boys who pester their wives to make Seppankizhangu roast for Sunday lunches, just the way their Amma makes it :) Even cricketer Srikkanth admits to being a "ghee-seppankizhangu roast-paruppu sadam freak". Seppankizhangu roast can be a topic for another whole post, but this one is dedicated to the Punju way of glorifying an ordinary muddy arbi.
A little note of warning, there are people who are allergic to some of these root vegetables, so please to check with your families if you are unleashing this fellow on them for the first time. If while handling this vegetable, your fingers itch, then you yourself may be allergic to this - anywhere from mild to severe. This is something extremely hilarious I read on one of my favourite blogs on allergic tendencies to vegetables from the yam family.
The inspiration for this recipe comes from our favourite Punju restaurant in the vicinity - Urban Tadka. This place does not take reservations and the only way to get a seat is to go there, put your name down on their long waiting list and be prepared to wait from anywhere between half hour to two hours. And its been some 3-4 years since they started, and people continue to WAIT with salivating tongues and rumbling tummies. That speaks for the yumminess quotient of the food they serve. So coming back to the Ajwaini Arbi Tikkas, this is one of our favourite starters here. Having eaten it a few times it was easy to figure out what went into it, well almost, two of the main ingredients already revealed in the name itself. My addition to this is sesame seeds which i did not find used in the restaurant version.
Arbi like some of its starchy cousins can produce considerable gas in your GIT (Gastro-Intestinal Tract) and ajwain or omam / carom seeds is an excellent spice to counteract the bloating, so these do make a perfect synergistic pair.
Ajwaini Arbi Ke Tikkey (Colocassia with carom seeds)
Category: Appetizer / Finger food / Roti accompaniment
Time taken: Active time: 10 minutes, Inactive time : 40 minutes
Serves 2
This recipe uses 250 g or 1/2 Lb of colocassia. When you buy the arbi, try and choose the ones of a similar size so that they can cook uniformly.
First scrub the muddy bits from the arbi very well. I use the pressure cooker to cook them through.
Place the arbis in a cooker vessel with a little water (1/2 cup or so), more water in the cooker, after two whistles, place on sim for 5 minutes. This should do to cook medium sized arbis without turning them to mush, in which case, you really cannot progress further.
One the cooker has cooled, open, and remove the arbi to a plate and cool for 10 minutes till comfortable to peel.
Once peeled, place them in a single layer in a large dish. With your palms or a wooden masher, lightly flatten each piece until oval / round, but not with so much force that it crumbles.
Spices and other stuff
Over the arbi, sprinkle -
1 tsp coarsely crushed ajwain
1 tsp of red chilli powder (like degi mirch)
1 tbsp of coriander powder
1 tbsp of sesame seeds
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp rice flour (for crispiness)
plenty of finely chopped coriander
With a gentle hand, coat the spices over the arbi and let this sit for 15 minutes minimum. You could also refrigerate the dish covered with cling wrap until the time you want to shallow fry and serve.
Final step
In a cast iron or any suitable skillet, heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Place the well marinated arbi pieces in a single layer. Let these acquire a golden brown crust on one side (takes around 7-10 minutes) after which turn them over and crispen for 10 more minutes.
Serve hot with green chutney or a date tamarind chutney. We had it with store bought Date Tamarind Chutney (Kitchens of India, ITC) and it went superbly along with some slices of cool cucumber.
This is my entry to Meeta's Monthly Mingle - Bollywood Cooking.
Do check out another yummy sounding recipe for Colocassia posted by Raaga, we do have some kind of telepathy going. I received her mouthwatering and melt-in-your-mouth Nankhatais, along with a cooking paste and Mungodis from her in a courier that made my weekend. Needless to say the Nankhatais have been promptly devoured. Now i am so addicted to their taste, that I have to make some from her recipe this week. Thank you so much for the delicious stuff Raaga :)

Discover pristine natural beauty, from the deep blue fjords and vast wilderness of the Jostedalsbreen glacier to the sparsely-populated Arctic islands. Cosmopolitan Oslo is packed with museums and eclectic bars, but escape the capital to find remote villages of wooden houses nestled deep in the mountains. Visit in summer to make the most of never-ending days under the midnight sun.
Norway's progressive attitude shines through in its clean, well-organised cities and open-minded people. If you love nature, Norway's dramatic mountains and crystal clear waters are hard to resist. Oslo is miles away - both in distance and character - from Bergen with its brightly-coloured waterfront houses, or the Arctic cities of Bod and Troms. Stavanger presides over fjords, mountains and sandy beaches.
Walk along the lively harbourside in Oslo to medieval Akershus Fortress. Cross the water to the Viking Ship Museum to see beautifully preserved Viking boats. Bergen's UNESCO-listed harbour is the starting point for fjord cruises, while the historic pilgrimage centre, Trondheim, boasts one of Northern Europe's finest cathedrals. Troms enjoys a spectacular waterside setting, along with 24-hour daylight in the summer months.
Rural Norway is a land of mountains, lakes, deep valleys and isolated farmsteads, ideal in summer for getting away from it all. In winter, skiing is a great way to enjoy the countryside, when the rugged peaks and waters of the world-famous fjords are the biggest draw. Head for the North Cape to see the midnight sun and meet the reindeer-herding Sami people.

Nico Rosberg pulled one back against Lewis Hamilton as he beat his team-mate to the Monaco win. Daniel Ricciardo was third...
Nico Rosberg: "It was a tough race out there today but I am absolutely delighted to have won my second Monaco Grand Prix in succession. It's an amazing feeling and I'm proud to have done it at home, in front of my family and friends who were all here this afternoon. The race started well and I was comfortable but then we had to manage my fuel consumption and Lewis was pushing really hard behind me. We were able to be in control of the fuel with a few laps of lift and coast. It was important for me to break Lewis' momentum of winning the last four races this weekend. That worked out very well, but it was a really tough weekend. I'm so happy for the team that we had another one-two finish and look forward to the party tonight!"
Lewis Hamilton: "I felt very strong out there today and I really drove with all my heart, giving everything that I could to improve my position. This just hasn't been my weekend but I can leave today feeling happy that we have achieved another one-two finish for the team. We have such a great car and everyone who has worked on it deserves the incredible results that we are getting at the moment. Back to this afternoon, this is such a difficult circuit to overtake. I was following Nico as close as I could and had great pace but I just couldn't get past. Towards the end, I got some dirt in my eye through the visor which made it very tough for a few laps but thankfully it cleared up and I was able to hold off Daniel and keep second place. This hasn't been the greatest of weekends but I'll go into the next race with even more energy and determination. The team are working so hard and we're determined to keep the momentum going."
Red Bull:
Daniel Ricciardo: "The race really came to life towards the end. It started off not so well and it's a really short run to Turn 1, so that was frustrating. Then we got Seb due to his reliability and Kimi had a puncture and we sort of got back to where we were hoping to be. After the re-start we were just saving the tyres to the point that we could get to the end and then, with 20 laps to go, I thought they would be okay so I pushed. It was the first time in the whole race that I felt like I was really driving the car and we caught Lewis. It was fun but I couldn't get him, so I have to say the race finished better than it started."
Sebastian Vettel: "It's disappointing. I had a good start and then we lost boost pressure from the turbo, so I had no power and had to retire. The team did everything they could. I felt quite helpless in the car, so I was asking for an answer of what we could do, but there wasn't anything at that stage. We fixed some problems yesterday with the ERS, but some more came today with the turbo, but we will move forwards and it will be good for us soon."
Fernando Alonso: "Finishing just off the podium today was a good result, especially after a difficult start and the various incidents during the race. At the start, something in the motor didn't work, but even if I'd had full power, there was no room to overtake. The three cars ahead of me deserved to be there as they were really uncatchable. I am pleased with fourth place, because we were able to manage a race in which you had to always maintain the highest level of concentration as there were plenty of tense moments. Our pace was good and that means that, bit by bit, we are improving. Sure, the gap to the leaders is still significant, because like us, they are still moving forward on the development front. Therefore we must always try to do better, starting with the next race in Canada."
Kimi Raikkonen: "This was a very unlucky day for me, a real shame after getting a good start and managing to move up to third place. The car was handling well and had a good pace. Unfortunately, in a Safety Car period, my car was hit by Chilton's Marussia and I had to make an unscheduled stop as my right rear tyre was damaged and that meant the end of any chance of getting a good result. I am sorry I still haven't managed to get a good result because we are working very hard. We know there is a lot to do as our rivals are still a long way ahead, but I am sure that if we continue down this path the results will come, maybe with a bit more luck."
Force India:
Nico Hulkenberg: "Ten points today is a great reward after such a difficult race. The last twenty laps were really tricky because my supersoft tyres were at the end of their life and it was hard to hold off the cars behind me and stay away from the barriers. There were a few close moments when I kissed the wall, but I survived and managed to hold on to fifth place. Fortunately my car was quick in the right places - going into the tunnel and also through the final corner. There were some enjoyable moments in the race, especially my move on Magnussen. He had to let the Toro Rosso back through and he lost a bit of momentum so I saw my opportunity to stick my nose down the inside of turn eight. On a track like Monaco it gives you a big smile to make the move stick."
Sergio Perez: "I was in a battle with Nico, who was ahead, and I went to take the apex normally. I was on the racing line and ahead of Jenson [Button] when he clipped my rear wheel and spun me around into the barriers. I did not expect him to be there as there wasn't really any space for another car there. It was very unlucky. As a racing driver you have good and bad Sundays but this is definitely one I want to forget as soon as possible. It is disappointing that we lost a big chance to score a good amount of points, but the car felt much better here than in Spain, as shown by Nico's result. This is a very positive signal looking ahead to Montreal."

Although we swore to rest our bones between Coachella weekends, we couldn't resist the urge to get all our out-of-town buds under one roof. But, we quickly realized that the R29 HQ couldn't handle that sort of guest list, so we made ourselves at home at No Vacancy — literally.To sum it up: The former Hollywood hotel transformed into the type of house party you see only in teen movies, sans the local 5-0 being a total buzzkill (and the red Solo cups, too).
We'd be lying if we said we pulled it off alone — The Embassy enlisted some of its most talented turntable buffs for the two-story soirée, and Sally Hansen came through with fish bowls packed to the gills with summer-ready polishes. Plus, we're pretty sure our photog's memory card was maxed out by the night's end, thanks to all these snap-worthy looks. If you RSVP'd, see if you can spot yourself. For everyone else — you may want to pass if you're the jealous type!

You can't adsorb happiness with activated carbon.
Or detect it with a test strip.
|Gold Finger
|Fun! I forgot to subscribe to my own thread and look at what I found! I just have to get in on this debate we don't want to have, so, realizing now the science does not know the mechanism, here's my two cents worth: There's no point in our theorizing beyond satisfying our own nagging inner voices since we are not the ones who are going to discover the truth as to the mechanism, but I for one am most satisfied by the antibody analogy (I too have nagging voices which demand answers where there are none). Healthy things fight off parasites one way or another. Also, yes Hoppy, it is magick until we understand the mechanism at which point it will become science. Good enough for me. I am tempted to enter into discussing the alleopathy theory but easily grow tired of trying to reason out maybes. A brief statement is all I can usually muster, so here's one just for laughs: maybe healthy plants give off positive electromagnetic happy vibes (auras) which make the grumpy algae feel like they cant hang. I'm actually not joking. HaH!
I don't think the existence of allelopathy in aquatic plants is a hypothesis. I believe adequate research has been done to prove it's existence. The question is, does it play a role in the plant/algae competition in a planted tank. My hypothesis is yes, but to such a small degree to be insignificant for our purposes. This debate seems to be of little value as far as the goal of keeping healthy algae free plants in an aquarium. The fact of the matter is that it's done everyday. If allelopathy was the primary reason for algae free tanks we would have problems after changing water, using activated carbon, keeping multiple varieties of plants together and even keeping certain invertebrates as allelopathy can effect lower life forms as well. Algae scrubbers would fail as a result of algacidic compounds released by plants. This is not the case.
The debate always seems to start over the hypothesis of competition of plants versus algae for nutrients and light. Since nutrients and light are abundant in a healthy planted tank it cannot be a competition. Both algae and plants are provided with excess of each. So this simplistic view doesn't hold water either. That's the primary reason I began searching for other causes.
I prefer to follow Occum's razor when dealing with problems. It states that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected. In 20th century language "KISS", keep it simple stupid.
Using that logic let's visit the competition hypothesis. As I said nutrients and lighting are in abundance so algae and plants cannot be in competition for those nutrients. The obvious answer must be the form of nutrients we use. It's a fact that those nutrients are primarily inorganic compounds otherwise activated carbon would strip most of them away. When do we see algae blooms in a healthy planted aquarium? Disturbing the substrate, failure to remove decaying organics, too much light in a sparsely planted tank and over feeding all seem to be a common theme.
So it's my hypothesis that competition does exist but rather a competition for organic nutrients The problem arises when the competition hypothesis is explained. When we increase the organics we see algae blooms. The inorganics we use as nutrients must not be readily utilized by algaes we see. So the confusion comes when we don't preface the competition hypothesis by saying the nutrients we add are inorganic and are not involved it that competition. At least that's my hypothesis today.
PS Hoppy did you like the use of hypothesis rather than theory? lol
As I understand how activated carbon works, it adsorbs large molecules, and the method for preparing the carbon can be adjusted to make it adsorb a certain range of molecules. I doubt that the AC we buy in a LFS is prepared with that in mind, and it probably just adsorbs molecules bigger than "X", to a degree at least. I'm not a chemist, so I can't debate the subject very effectively in any case.
Incidentally, allelopathy in a planted tank is not a theory, but just a hypothesis, which can be tested. Now that is real nit picking
This is in no way my theory. Honestly, I have no desire to enter a debate with experts such as yourselves. I would lose every time! I just happen to be one of those people that aren't satisfied with doing A, B, and C to achieve Z. My curiosity gets the better of me most of the time. But if you read the articles posted and follow up on the references cited it's quite compelling. I never said allelopathy is the only factor involved between plant/algae ratios. I do however feel it is a factor. I only learned this because I don't buy into the competition only idea. In a planted aquarium there is no lack of nutrients or light. So quite simply there has to be other factors at play. I welcome explanations to the contrary or things I don't understand.
As far as I know activated charcoal does not effectively remove all organic compounds. In particular the more soluble ones such as alcohols and organic acids. In addition the compounds would have to exist only in the water column being filtered. This would exclude adhered compunds that may be present on plant structures as well as hardscape and substrate. I think to say all allelopathic compounds would be removed adequately by AC alone is erroneous. Then again I'm no expert lol.
According to articles and studies I have read there are numerous plants we cultivate that may have allelopathic properties; Potamogeton species, Eleocharis acicularis, Sagittaria subulata, Ceratophyllum demersum, Ceratophyllum muricatum, Hydrilla verticillata, Cabomba carolinia, Juncus repens, Limnobium spomgia, Brasenia schreberi, Vallisneria americana, Sparganium americanum.
This is a subject that has yet to be seriously studied in regards to the artificial world of the planted aquarium. It also happens to be a heavily debated arena. There is little monetray value in the expenditure of time and resources it would take to research it properly. That's the reason I have tried to extrapolate the information available related to this. It seems to me that sufficient evidence exists to support such a theory. Am I interpreting my readings inaccurately?
Algae and plants can coexist, it's not one or the other. Healthy plants limit algae explosion 'bloom', not algae. You also have to determine which species of algae you're talking about. You can't blanket the entire 'algae' species/phylum. Some algae are actually bacteria so your theory don't pertain.
Allelopathy hasn't yet been demonstrated to be a characteristic of the aquatic plants we grow. Any such allelopathic chemicals would be organic, and therefore could be removed with activated charcoal in the filter. So, if a healthy tank were to have a load of AC added to the filter, that should cause an algae bloom, if allelopathy is involved in the lack of algae. As far as I know, no one has been able to do that experiment successfully.
It's magic! I can live with that.
The migration of nutrients from substrate to water and vice versus is inevitable. I do however think providing both forms is beneficial for the variety of plants we cultivate. All plants uptake nutrients differently. Providing one or the other seems advantageous to one at the detriment of the other.
Healthy plants, as hoppy said, have little problems with algae growth. I'm sure there may be other reasons but it seems, to me at least, the Allelopathy "theory" plays a significant role here. Maybe plants are no different than animals in this regard. A healthy animal can produce antibodies to fight off infections far better than an unhealthy one. If we view algae as a virus to plants it seems to get a little more clear. In fact algae is not the only thing this plant response seems to combat. It also deals with bacterial invasions as well. I have no idea what all the answers are but it seems reasonable to assume this plays a role.
Here are a few articles on this subject;
The effects of harvesting macrophytes on algae
Competition and Allelopathy in aquatic plant communities
Allelopathy in aquatic macrophytes: Effects on growth and physiology of phytoplanktons
You can't limit algae growth by keeping the nutrients at a low level in the water. Algae require very small amount of nutrients compared to aquatic plants. Just look at how tiny the mass of algae is even when you have a big algae bloom in the tank. That small mass means it didn't take much of any nutrients to build it. By contrast, aquatic plants can build up a significant mass, using the nutrients to build it.
When you limit your fertilizing to substrate fertilizing, you still can't keep those nutrients out of the water. All of the nutrients are in the form of ions, portions of salts. The salts in the substrate will migrate to the water, because areas of high concentration always contribute the salts to the water that is in contact. And, the water in the substrate is certainly in contact with the tank water.
It isn't just the mass of plants that inhibits algae growth, it is the mass of healthy plants growing as fast as the light lets them grow. I have no idea how this happens, but tanks filled with healthy plants that are not limited in growth by anything except light, will rarely have algae problems. Once you limit the growth of the plants by reducing their access to the nutrients they need, algae will always follow. Maybe it is magic??
|or lots of plants take up lights and nutrients that would go to algae.
Allelopathy plays a large role in this. It is a fascinating subject of particular interest to hobbyist. Apparently macrophytes (plants) can excrete allelopathic substances which reduce algae blooms. I had no idea plants were capable of this until I started with planted tanks. I kept hearing that the plants will out compete algae for nutrients, CO2 and light. Well this isn't the African savanna where one antelope has to feed a lion pride. We are providing excess of all necessities to the plants. So I started researching it and realized they are not just competing but killing each other off lol.
|Gold Finger
|Zorfox: I think the relationship between algae and macrophytes is very interesting in the way they are antagonistic to one another but they mutually manage the nutrient loads. Do we really understand the way plants combat algae? If so, what is the main mechanism? Why is a high density of healthy plants a deterent to algal growth?
|Gold Finger
|Hah! I agree. In fact, I think I said the same thing once.
|I think providing nutrients via the substrate in a non-CO2 enriched tank will tip the competion scale in favor of plants that utilize roots as a primary nutrient source. The problem arises when we keep a variety, some of which rely on water column soley for nutrients. Then those plants can suffer as a result although there is leeching of nutrients from the substrate which sustains those plants. It seems to me that several methods could exist based on the plant varieties we are trying to grow. Presently, to grow a variety, the best solution is to dose both the substrate and water column. In that system, a large biomass of plants we want will outcompete the algae, which is what has been stated by the experts time and time again. It seems the more I learn the more I say to myself "huh that's what that guy already said"

The Gamma Corps Declare War On Hulk!
The Incredible Hulk has declared war on those who exiled him to space, destroying anyone in his path, but there may be one force who can stop him-The Gamma Corps! In World War Hulk: Gamma Corps #1 (of 4), writer Frank Tieri and artist Carlos Ferreira introduce the one team that has been trained and prepared for a day such as this, a day when the Hulk would return to smash with a vengeance! Formed by the enigmatic General Ryker, and utilizing the DNA of the Hulk, Doc Samson, the Leader, the Abomination, and the Harpy, these soldiers of the Gamma Corps have been augmented with powers similar to those of the gamma irradiated generation that sired them! Each fueled by their own individual hate for the Hulk, the Gamma Corps soldiers have charged themselves with ending the Hulk's invasion...but who are these soldiers, and how long has the government been hiding them?

|Update on Quilt Auction
The quilt auction website mentioned below says more than 75 quilts will be auctioned tomorrow (probably written months ago) but the word "more" understates it by a wide margin.
According to their Facebook page they now have 180 donated quilts for auction. Considering the amount of work that goes into making a quilt, that is an staggering number. It shows the great generosity you find around here.
I didn't see any information about payment methods but I imagine you can polish up the credit card and bring along the check book for back up.

Recipe for a New Mexico-style salsa verde, green chili sauce.
When my snowbird aunt and uncle reach New Mexico in a few weeks, their first food stop will be for green chili burgers. My aunt is adamant about the choice, "I really 'know' we are in New Mexico when I have my first green chili burger of the winter." Somehow, green chili burgers proclaim, "Hello, New Mexico! We're here! We're back!"
So on my own trek to Santa Fe in August, I knew to hunt up a green chili burger, just to clinch, for sure, my arrival. Ha! Never once did a green chili burger appear on a menu. Ever since, I've wanted to experience one, even one concocted back here in the Midwest albeit as authentically as possible.
First up, the green chili sauce, which, according to The Feast of Santa Fe: Cooking of the American Southwest is also called chili verde, salsa verde, chile verde con tomatillos and salsa de tomatillo. This stuff is fresh and wonderful! It has that slight sour from the tomatillos, that smoky darkness from the roasted poblanos. This stuff is good, worth a trip to the Southwest and if not, worth the hour it takes to make at home.
Next up, green chili burgers! At first I fussed with recipes for gourmet burgers, y'know, where you grind this with that and add this and poke that. My butcher laughed at these notions and packed up a big hunk of good ground beef. "I promise, you won't be able to tell the difference." So simple good is simple does. Good ground beef. Salt and pepper. A toasted bun.
It gets no better. I'm back in Missouri but for a few bites, am transported back to the arroyos and rainbows of New Mexico.
Time to table: about 2 hours
Makes 3 cups
- 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
- 1 pound poblano peppers, stems, seeds and membrane removed, halved
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 a large onion, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tomatillos, cover and return to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes, drain. Transfer to a food processor, process til smooth.
Meanwhile, place a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Skin-side up, flatten the peppers onto the foil and put under the broiler until the skins bubble and blacken. Fold the foil over to form a packet, seal and let rest for 5 minutes. Peel off and discard the skins. Add the flesh to the tomatillos and process until smooth.
Meanwhile, in a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil on medium until shimmery. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and barely golden. Stir in the flour and stir well, let cook for a minute. (Cooking the flour in an almost-dry pot helps cook off some of the rawness. It takes just a minute but makes a big difference in the resulting flavor.) A tablespoon at a time, add the broth, fully incorporating each tablespoon before adding more. Stir in the tomatillo-poblano mixture, the spices and seasoning. Return pot to a boil, watching carefully so not to burn the bottom. Reduce heat to maintain a very slow simmer. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.

Aqua Santa is unimpressive from the street but the open kitchen and warm service make for a place I'd love-love-love to have in my own neighborhood. The Compound's sunny outside patio made for a special lunch. Cafe Pasqual's is a touristy spot but the friendly between-table banter and the easy breakfast choices took us back twice.
But my favorite place of all is in a small casita north of Santa Fe that doesn't take reservations, a little spot called Karina's Kitchen. Oh wait – that's not a restaurant, it's the home of the Gluten-free Goddess herself, Karina Allrich. She and her husband Steve hosted a memorable birthday supper, where we feasted on simple pleasures like this gluten-free cucumber salad and formed friendships easy to imagine lasting a lifetime.
My aunt recommends two spots for green chili burgers in New Mexico, the Owl Bar and Manny's Buckthorn Bar & Grill, both in San Antonio, New Mexico. (Note to Self: Never again leave New Mexico without sampling at least one green chili burger. Otherwise, obsessions with green chili sauce may ensue.)

Our best effort at home (so far!) has been with grilled ground buffalo burgers, just-roasted-and-peeled-and-chopped poblano peppers, and muenster cheese, all on a whole wheat bun!

KERSEY - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team captured the District 9 Class A championship by defeating the Brockway Lady Rovers by a 4-0 score Thursday afternoon at the Fox Township Community Park in Kersey.
The Lady Crusaders used a two-run home run by Lyndsey Trumbull in the second inning and a two-run double by Michelle Imbrogno in the sixth inning to account for their four runs.
After pulling off a big win Wednesday to knock off an undefeated Johnsonburg squad and advance to the D9 Class A baseball final, the Elk County Catholic Crusaders came out flat on Thursday evening at Berwind Park. The ECC squad got behind early, struggled with their offense, and were shut out 7-0 by a very good Coudersport team, which entered the tournament as the sixth seed.
Rams' lone loss most costly defeat
One is the loneliest number.
Elk County Catholic (16-5) dealt previously undefeated Johnsonburg (20-1) a stunning 5-2 defeat Wednesday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park, ousting the No. 1 seed from the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs in the process. Throughout the season, one run was often times the difference in a game for the Rams; on Wednesday, just one loss spoiled their season and kept them out of both the district title game and the state playoffs.
BROCKWAY - The Punxsutawney Chucks scored five runs in the home half of the first inning on their way to a 6-0 victory over the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch Wednesday afternoon in the District 9 Class AAA championship game, played at Brockway Area High School.
The Chucks used three hits and two St. Marys errors to score those five first-inning runs.
"It was a tough day for us to go cold," said St. Marys coach Tony Azzato. "We didn't get the hits when we needed to and when we did hit the ball, it was right at them."
BROCKWAY – The St. Marys Lady Dutch struggled to get their offense going and made a few errors on defense on Wednesday afternoon, allowing the Punxsutawney Lady Chucks to take a 7-1 victory for another D9 AAA softball title.
"[We made a few] early mistakes, and we couldn't recover from that," said St. Marys coach Manny Gerarge.
ECC's Kennedy Weisner wins two silver medals; ECC's Jake Herbstritt a bronze
St. Marys Area High School junior Adair Gennocro won a gold medal at Saturday's PIAA Track & Field Championships held at Shippensburg University by winning the Class AA 3200 run.
Gennocro won the event with a time of 10:36.22. She was seeded second in the event behind Boiling Springs' Meredith Speakman with a time of 11:13.99. Speakman's seed time was 11:01.57. Speakman finished in second place in 10:47.88.
Gennocro also medaled in the 1600 run with a time of 5:02.16, good for fourth place.
The Elk County Catholic Crusader baseball squad fended off a rally by the Port Allegany Gators on Thursday afternoon to record an 18-8 victory in six innings during a quarterfinal contest at Berwind Park in St. Marys.
"We were up 6-1 and they (Port) kept fighting to come back. They had a big inning, and we let them back in the game, and at least our kids stayed focused enough to keep fighting back and keep battling on," said ECC coach Tom Zampogna.
Senior Taylor Schlimm returned from the injury list to throw a no-hitter as the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team advanced to the District 9-A semifinals with an 8-0 victory over the Port Allegany Lady Gators Thursday afternoon at Benzinger Park.
Schlimm struck out 11 and issued one free pass for ECCHS. Becky Andrus started on the mound for Port Allegany and worked four innings, giving up four hits and walking one. Brooke Roys worked two innings of relief, giving up two hits, walking three and striking out three.
Headed into the top of the seventh inning of the D9 AAA girls' softball semifinal contest at the St. Marys Area High School softball field on Wednesday afternoon, the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch had kept the Clearfield Lady Bisons scoreless and looked set to record a 3-0 victory. Clearfield did not give up so easily, though, as Rachel Hoffman walked and B.J. Bowman connected with one of Lady Dutch pitcher Rachel Ginther's throws to record the only home run of the contest and pull Clearfield within one run of tying the game. St.
The St. Marys Area High School held its Spring Sports Awards Program Tuesday evening in Carpin Auditorium to recognize those student-athletes who participated in baseball, softball, boys' tennis and boys' and girls' track and field.
Student Activities Director Terry Straub acted as master of ceremonies and welcomed everyone to the affair. He noted that the program would follow the order of letter and certificate presentations, presentation of MVP awards and presentation of special awards.

Vettel runs out of luck… Webber runs out of time… Button runs out of energy… and Lewis runs out the winner A new name went into the Yas Marina record books when Lewis Hamilton won the 2011 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for McLaren Mercedes.
Only Sebastian Vettel had won on the previous two visits to the spectacular Middle East venue, but in a sensational start to the 55-lap race Vettel, whose Red Bull Renault started from pole position, spun off on the second corner with a deflating right rear tyre. Although the World Champion limped back to pit lane the team could not repair the damage to his wheel and he was out of a race for the first time in 2011.
But Mark Webber's chances of cashing in on his team-mate's misfortune evaporated when his Red Bull crew fumbled his first pit stop, keeping him stationary for almost 10 seconds and effectively ending his podium challenge before it had properly begun. Fernando Alonso finished second for Ferrari, giving the Scuderia its first podium in Abu Dhabi. It was also the 73rd F1 trophy for Alonso and completed a full set from every venue where the double World Champion has ever raced.
Jenson Button finished third for the third year running at Abu Dhabi despite radioing in that his KERS had failed at quarter-distance. The team managed to reset the system and Button's legendary coolness allowed him to wrest third place back from Webber when the Red Bull driver made a third pit stop with just one lap remaining.
Red Bull had given Webber three sets of the Soft 'option' Pirelli tyres and asked him to put in a long sequence of virtual qualifying laps to build a big enough margin to stay ahead of Button. They brought him in for his mandatory switch to the Medium 'prime' tyre with a single lap remaining but it was to no avail and Button comfortably regained the final podium place.
"On the second pit stop, we fitted the option tyre again to try and cut the race down to something different; it was certainly worth a bit of a punt," said the matter-of-fact Aussie.
"I had a pretty good pace on Jenson anyway at the end of the first stint, he went one lap shorter than us which was no problem, but then we had a bad first pit stop, so we lost a lot of time with that. It put us on the back foot. I got the car back onto the leaders, but we were out of position by then."
With Vettel gone, Hamilton streaked into the lead with a fast-starting Alonso's Ferrari behind him, relinquished it to Webber for one lap at the first round of pit stops but was then never headed en route to his third win of the season and the 17th of his F1 career.
"I've had some interesting victories and some better than others," said Hamilton. "When I was doing the lap on the way in I was thinking this was one of my best, just in terms of my own performance, not making any mistakes.
"I don't feel like I made a single mistake in the race, and with the things that have gone on, the pressure I've been under, with the doubt that's surrounded me, I feel massively proud to have put that kind of performance together and to have come out on top."
With Webber fourth, Felipe Massa's Ferrari took fifth spot – and landed its driver in a difficult position. The Brazilian now has only one race, his home Grand Prix in two weeks, to avoid being the first Ferrari driver for 20 years to go through a whole season without getting on to the podium.
Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher were sixth and seventh for Mercedes ahead of Sahara Force India duo Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta, who now have a comfortable margin of 15 points as they battle Sauber and Toro Rosso for sixth place overall.
Kamui Kobayashi's 10th-place finish for Sauber edged the Swiss team ahead of Toro Rosso again – albeit by a single point – as Sébastien Buemi retired with hydraulic problems and Jaime Alguersuari could do no better than 15th of the 20 classified finishers.
One of the retirees was Australia's Daniel Ricciardo, whose HRT succumbed to electrical problems after 48 laps. Small consolation for Webber, but he set the fastest race lap of 1:42.612, an average of 194.854 km/h, on lap 51. The final race of the season is at Interlagos in Brazil in two weeks' time.
Drivers' standings:
1. Vettel 374 points
2. Button 255
3. Alonso 245
4. Webber 233
5. Hamilton 227
Constructors' standings:
1. Red Bull Renault 607 points
2. McLaren Mercedes 482

Nine Types of Light
Preview tracks
Released: Apr 2011
Label: DGC/Interscope
On 2008's Dear Science, TV on the Radio predicted a "Golden Age comin' round." The follow-up is even more optimistic. One word keeps biting at singer Tunde Adebimpe's tongue: love. He questions, battles and ultimately embraces that four-letter word here, from "Second Song" to "You" to "Will Do." But this wouldn't be TVOTR without some apocalyptic musings; the avant-garde Brooklynites even invent a doom-laden dance craze, the "No Future Shock." Still, love conquers all. "If the world all falls apart/ How am I going to keep your heart?" Adebimpe wonders; by song's end, he's certain he will.
