Stocks Finish Week on Positive Note
TheStreet) -- The major U.S. stock averages finished higher Friday as investors were cheered by positive commentary coming out of initial fiscal cliff discussions between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders. John Boehner, the Republican Speaker of the House, was quoted as saying he believes the fiscal cliff -- which refers to a combination of tax rate increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1 -- can be averted.Escalating Middle East tensions remained a focus for the market, however, as Israel was reportedly preparing for a possible invasion of Gaza as Palestinian forces launched rocket fire at Jerusalem. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 46 points, or 0.37%, to close at 12,588. The blue-chip index snapped a four-day losing streak and ended the week down 1.77%. For the year, the Dow is still up 3.03%. Breadth was positive when the closing bell sounded with winners ahead of losers, 22 to 8. The biggest percentage gainers were Alcoa (AA), American Express (AXP), Home Depot (HD), and UnitedHealth (UNH). The leading Dow decliners were AT&T (T), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Verizon (VZ), and Wal-Mart Stores (WMT). HP shares lost nearly 2% following weak quarterly results and a poor outlook from fellow PC giant Dell (DELL). The S&P 500 tacked on nearly 7 points, or 0.48%, to settle at 1360, while the Nasdaq gained more than 16 points, or 0.57%, at 2853. The S&P 500 lost 1.45% for the week and is now up 8.13% year-to-date, and the Nasdaq slid 1.78% for the week and is now up 9.52% in 2012. The strongest sectors in the broad market were consumer cyclicals, health care and utilities. Transportation was the only group to finish in the red. Winners outran losers by a nearly 3-to-1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange, and a 1.5-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. Volume totaled 4.04 billion on the Big Board and 2.19 billion on the Nasdaq. "I doubt we'll see anything concrete for quite a while," said Stephen Guilfoyle, U.S. economist at Meridian Equity Partners, of the budget negotiations. "I am certain that both sides will come out and say something positive because that's their job. They're going to make their constituents think they're working for them, and they're trying to make the press and the markets believe that things are moving in the right direction, so you'll probably hear some positive headlines."NEW YORK (

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Adhesive DP420
Products and Purchase Options:

It maintains bond strength at high and low temperatures and can withstand paint bake operations up to 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.In many applications, you can use DP420 in place of mechanical fasteners, screws, rivets, spot welds, and is excellent for indoor bonding on a variety of substrates such as metals, ceramics, wood, many plastics, and glass. Our adhesive meets the requirements for UL 94 HB.
DP420 dispenses as a medium viscosity adhesive for easy, controlled dispensing. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 2 hours and is fully cured in 24 hours (at 72 degrees F/22 degrees C). The mix ratio is 2:1 and provides a 20 minute work life, providing ample time to adjust for desired fit prior to curing. For best results, always use 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ Plus II Applicator and Mixing Nozzles, sold separately. Both mixing nozzle and applicator are required for dispensing from the Duo-Pak cartridge.
Epoxy adhesives are part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives" which also includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and others. Epoxies begin as liquid reactive polymers that undergo a chemical chain reaction when mixed, and then cure to form a solid plastic material. Once the two parts are mixed in their specified ratio, they begin the curing process and offer a limited working time where the adhesive can be applied and the two surfaces positioned as need. This "work life" lasts anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours or longer. This class of structural adhesives provides high shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula and better heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. Epoxies that are heat cured are more heat and chemical resistant than those that cure at room temperature. Epoxy adhesives are widely used in building and home construction, aircraft and automobile manufacture, bicycle, boat, golf clubs, ski, and snowboard assembly and a host of home use and other applications; virtually anywhere high-strength bonds are needed along with resistance to environmental conditions. These adhesives are popular for their ease of use, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Formulations can be created to make epoxies that are flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, quick setting or slow setting. The versatility with which epoxy adhesives can be formulated helps meet almost any requirement for bonding wood, metal, glass, stone, and various plastics.
Industrial uses for epoxies range widely and include coatings, adhesives, and composite materials like carbon fiber and glass-reinforced plastic. They are the preferred choice for their ability to flow and conform to the work area, strong adhesion, chemical and heat resistance, and exceptional mechanical and electrical insulating properties.

Sexting? Did You Think Consequences When You Were 14 Years Old?
I can give you a definitive, "no". Of course, when I was 14 years old there was no such thing as "sexting." My big thing was getting my own telephone in my room, and that was bad enough. And for you old farts, here is the definition of "sexting"

Former high priced hooker/escort Ashley Alexandra Dupre's (aka Kirsten) is ready to cash in big time on her "client #9 fame" liaisons with disgraced and soon to be indicted former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. She shouldn't buy the Park Avenue Penthouse just yet….
It is my bet that the tabloids, mainstream press and the blogosphere will make make more out of her projected multi-millionaire status than she will ever see a penny of. The "Cuban Crystal Ball" is telling me that unless she rolls both her civil and criminal liability into an immunity grant in exchange for her testimony against Spitzer, before the year is out she will be facing both federal and state indictment as well as civil liability for income tax evasion and back taxes. I admittedly know very little about the area of the law but if I were on the government side I would already be working on a "levy" against any profits she gets from appearances on the talk circut,magazine appearances clothed and unclothed and books. Even if she is able to roll any criminal tax liability into any criminal testimony for the government, I find it very hard to believe she will get a pass on the civil tax liability…..
Any criminal and civil tax attorneys out there to comment?

ST. MARYS – With the reconstruction project currently taking place on state Route 255 to improve and repair the roadway for the future, it is interesting to note that in another section of roadway in St. Marys signs of the community's past are currently visible. Brusselles Street was once a brick-paved roadway, and a portion of those bricks is currently visible in front of Sheetz near the South Michael Street intersection.

Rosalie Romano was on a mission.
The White Plains resident headed to the Waldorf Farmers Market on Wednesday because she was eager to do something different.
"I am trying out a new recipe," Romano said. "I have a friend who can't eat gluten. I'm going to make lasagna using zucchini for her."
Romano, a New Jersey native, likes to frequent farmers markets to support local farmers. She said that consuming fresh produce is in her DNA.
"I'm Italian," she said. "We eat a lot of vegetables."
Maryland designated last week as Farmers Market Week, encouraging residents to shop at the state's 144 farmers markets.
According to a news release from the Maryland Department of Agriculture, 97 percent of the state's farmers markets participate in the Farmers Market Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, Children and Seniors and about a quarter of the markets take part in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program.
Charles County residents can stop by markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays on O'Donnell Place in Waldorf and on Charles Street and Washington Avenue in La Plata.
"Saturday, this place rolls," said Lynn Bowling of Bowling Farms.
Shopping at a farmers market allows consumers to talk with the person who is producing their food.
"Every thing is fresh-picked and tastes better," she said.
"That was picked at 7 o'clock this morning," said Bowling, pointing at a container of okra. "My husband picked that corn at 9 o'clock; we dug the potatoes at 8 o'clock."
"It's really cool to talk to the farmers who are growing the food that we are eating," said Amanda Allen of Waldorf, who visited the market with her daughters, Kaylee, 3, and Sierra, 1.
"My girls love their fruits and veggies. Kaylee could wipe out all those raspberries," Allen said about the fruit Finch Family Farms had for sale.
Vernicia Morgan of Waldorf stopped by the market with her daughter, Sarae, 1, to look for broccoli.
While no farmers were selling the vegetable Wednesday, Morgan did pick up a watermelon, green beans and some cherry tomatoes from the Finch stand.
She said that the more she reads about the health benefits of fresh produce, the more she wants to shop at farmers markets, following an example set by her mother.
"We try to do everything organic" on the farm, said Chuck Finch of Finch Family Farms in Helen, who started farming when he was a boy.
"I've been selling eggs since I was 7 years old," he said.
His family moved into an old farmhouse in Oxon Hill when he was young.
It had no plumbing and no heat, but it had a lot of land and that appealed to Finch, even if it didn't hold the same allure for his father.
"He wasn't fooling with it, so I started," he said. "They said I was enchanted by the ghost of the person who lived there. ... He was a farmer."
Finch and his wife, Debbie, who makes jams and jellies for the stand, like to talk to their customers and offer tips and advice to them about recipes.
Customers offer tips, too.
"I don't like okra, so I didn't grow it," Chuck Finch said.
After people starting asking for it, he changed his tune.
"OK," he said. "It might be worth the while," even if he still doesn't like it personally.
Linda Quattrociocchi of H&H Farm in Brandywine said she likes selling at the Waldorf market because it is for growers only.
Everything that is on a farmer's table, they produced themselves, she said.
"Meet the farmers," she said. "Talk to them and decide if you want to eat their food."
The Quattrociocchis were high school sweethearts after meeting on the school bus in Fort Washington.
They came from different worlds.
"My husband is a country boy, I was the city slicker. I'm from Brooklyn," Quattrociocchi laughed, adding that she was from a military family who moved around.
James Quattrociocchi grew up in an Italian family, they had a garden.
"Tomatoes, eggplants," Linda Quattrociocchi said.
After retiring — he from Pepco, she from running a family day care business in Davidsonville — they decided to start a farm and become beekeepers.
At first, the bees were just a hobby.
"They became prolific in the amount of honey" they produced, she said.
So, along with potatoes, onions and peppers, H&H Farm sells honey, too.
The stand of Eaton Family Farm in Welcome is almost a one-stop shop for anyone who wants tomatoes.
Gary Eaton, who runs it with his wife, Tina, the market manager, pointed out the standard red Park's Whoppers and green Lemon Boy tomatoes, the heirloom varieties of Doctor Wyche's, black krims and old Germans, and cherry tomatoes like black cherries, yellow pears, chiquitas and sun sugars.
On a recent Wednesday, he also was selling okra, jalapeño and serrano peppers, squash and Asian long beans.
"It all tastes so good," said Kaye Christopher of Waldorf, who was picking up some produce from the Eaton stand.
The appeal of farmers markets is easy to understand.
"We're miles fresher," Finch said.

I own several pairs of Duluth hiker socks so I thought I would try the short socks for wearing with sneakers. They work just as I hoped. Even in warm weather they keep your feet cool. I love them. The sock is well-made, not flimsy, and there are nice colors to choose from. Nice job Duluth
Best Uses
I wear these socks every day with tennis shoes, even in the summer. You'd think wool would be too hot for summer, but not for me. I like that they stay in place and you don't have to dig your socks up out of the heels of your shoes. The fit is great, they're soft, and I love the colors. I wouldn't change a thing about them.

3M Scotch 685 Riveters Tape is a 1.7 mil thick polyester transparent film coated along the edges of the tape only with green rubber adhesive (the center section is uncoated so there is no adhesive transfer to rivet heads). The tape has a tough non-stretch backing which allows it to easily hold rivets in place during riveting (it resists shattering or slivering). The transparent film acts as a "window" and provides easy visibility of rivets. Used in the aerospace, marine, specialty vehicle, transportation, automotive and metal fabrication industries. Can also be used for general holding applications where visibility of item(s) being held is required.
The 3/4 inch width size has a 3/16 inch adhesive strip on each edge while the 1 inch width size has a 1/4 inch adhesive strip on each edge. The adhesive provides good immediate adhesion that helps resist stretching of the tape.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

5 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Helpful (4)Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at OANDA (Toronto, ON (Canada)) in May 2008.
The first interview was over the phone - the recruiter simply listed off a few programming and networking questions which are designed to weed out those without any experience. The second interview was by a panel of three people + recruiter. The questions were mostly on programming, with a few trick questions. A lot of networking questions may be asked depending on the interviewer. A second interview was later assigned with two more senior members, which consisted mostly of explaining processes and generic questions.
Interview Questions
- I can't recall the exact code, but it's a simple loop which has two variables inside it. One of the variables is auto-incremented, but under a certain condition the last increment is lost. Answer Question
- How would you find if two threads are in dead-lock? How do you resolve dead-lock? 1 Answer
The recruiters will lowball your salary expectations, if you feel confident you may want to stick to your figures. From the experience of others, the company is not willing to accommodate demands for longer vacations. Options in the company and bonuses are not provided on paper.
Helpful (1)Declined OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OANDA (Toronto, ON (Canada)).
I had previously interviewed for a contract position, and received an offer I declined in order to return to a previous employer. HR kept track of when I would be ready to interview again and got in touch. We arranged to have me come into the office for two one-hour interviews, back to back. The first was with a recruiter, plus two engineers. We talked a fair amount about my background, and experience with key technologies, then moved onto technical questions. They started with a series of questions that were well outside my stated areas of strength, which was pretty humiliating and definitely got things started on the wrong foot. It's surprisingly hard to do well once you're off your game. They then moved on to a few questions that were more relevant to my experience and areas of interest, which was much more welcome. The second interview was with two other engineers, both managers. They again started with my background, and we talked about what I'd been doing since I last interviewed with the company. They were very interested in understanding what motivated me to come in for another interview, and what I was looking for in an employer. When we moved to technical questions, they struggled to find appropriate questions that I hadn't answered before. I think I made a good impression. We ended the interview by talking about what it would take to get me on board with the company, and then did a short tour of the office space. The next day, HR got in touch to let me know they would like to extend an offer, and to get ballpark salary information. I got the offer letter about two weeks later. I had received other offers in the meantime, and did ask for some changes to the package offer. My recruiter really went to bat for me, but although they were able to make some changes, I decided to accept a position elsewhere.
Interview Questions
- Given a simple polynomial expression, calculate the derivative. Answer Question
- Given a currency value, add thousand-separator commas. Answer Question
- How do you create a function that increments a variable that isn't accessible from outside the function? 1 Answer
Reasons for Declining
OANDA is a small company that can't offer the same kinds of compensation that other larger organizations can. This doesn't simply mean monetary compensation, but also the reputational currency of having worked at world-class technology companies.
Helpful (1)No OfferDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at OANDA (Toronto, ON (Canada)).
Done through school coop program, submitted resume and received a 45 minute skype interview. This consisted of 10 minutes of past experience. A few verbal questions about deadlock, OOP (they asked difference between inheritance and composition I was caught off guard).

Helpful (3)No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at OANDA (Toronto, ON (Canada)) in August 2012.
I was called on the phone and asked really basic C++, Unix and Networking question. Anyone can pass the phone screen test which is given by HR that has zero tech/programming background. I got called for a real interview, I answered their questions, coded 2 problems on the white board and than wrote a SQL query and talked about database. This company seems to be always posting jobs but they never get back to you after the interview. I had another offer, so I took that one and didn't bother with this company. I was not impressed being told I would be working as a integration guy building and testing software. I also got the sense they don't pay well. If you already have a job, I suggest you discuss your salary before you waste your time going to their interview.
Interview Questions
- You should know your data structure and algo, most of the coding questions are pretty classic and easy to code. If you've done some interviewing you will have come across these questions before, nothing new or really difficult. Know the basic of network, database inside and out. Answer Question

My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.

NEW DELHI , 2007/02/28 05:59:06Whether behind the stumps or in front of them, it is just difficult to ignore Kumar Sangakkara whose value to the Sri Lankan team has been growing with each year. His form will be important to his team's World Cup campaign because he is expected to maintain the tempo in the middle order after aggressive openers Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga.
KINGSTON , 2007/02/28 05:45:13Chris Gayle is widely recognised as one of most laid-back players in international cricket. His easy-going personality can be compared to the slower pace of life in the Caribbean, and makes him one of the most likeable players in the game.
KINGSTON , 2007/02/28 05:42:10Jerome Taylor is not built along the lines of the traditional West Indies fast bowler. He's not tall like Joel Garner.
SYDNEY , 2007/02/28 05:28:20Australia captain Ricky Ponting warned Wednesday that despite some recent poor form the world champions will be "extremely hard to beat" at the upcoming cricket World Cup. Speaking to reporters at Sydney airport as the team flew out to the Caribbean in search of a third straight World Cup victory, Ponting said he believed his team deserved to remain favourites.
NEW DELHI , 2007/02/28 02:18:46When a rain-ruined Test between Australia and England in 1971 resulted in the first one-day international at Melbourne, few believed that this new form of cricket would become a global, money-spinning affair. The first one-dayer was not a pre-planned affair as it was arranged on the last scheduled day of the rain-hit Test to appease the public.
KINGSTON, Jamaica , 2007/02/27 21:38:11Scotland manager Euan McIntyre believes his side and the other minnows taking part in the Cricket World Cup have earned their places. The Scots arrived on Monday in the Barbados capital of Bridgetown, where they will play two official warm-up matches against Sri Lanka next Monday and Bangladesh next Thursday at the Three Ws Oval.
MUMBAI , 2007/02/27 12:38:01India's coach Greg Chappell said Tuesday his team had the flexibility to give a good account of themselves in cricket's World Cup in the Caribbean. "The pressure will be on and it is here where our flexibility and experience will come into play," Chappell told reporters on the eve of his team's departure for the one-day showpiece event starting next month.
SYDNEY , 2007/02/27 12:30:21Cricket Australia on Tuesday announced the make-up of the greatest one-day international dream team the world champions could muster since the introduction of the short form of the game. Steve Waugh was named captain of the 12-man team, which includes four members of the squad which will fly to the Caribbean on Wednesday in an attempt to win the World Cup for a third straight time.

This conversation is closed.
Talking without the need to impress. Feel free to relax with this one.
I have noticed that when people write, especially on TED, they tend to be wordy and and tend to stretch the thought a bit. Not this time.
Please give us 1 or 2 sentences about anything that may be on your mind and feel free to be a bit politically incorrect. Keep it clean because kids have thoughts too. However I do encourage short and too the point....but most of all honest
Let's hear you.
bart hsi
Jul 16 2013: Actually the most annoying posts are not necessarily from 1 or 2 posts taking to the limit of 2000 words. The more annoying posts are those of a host or someone else to butt into the conversation repeatedly "attacking" every posts from many others who hold the opposing view of his. In the process, the guy repeated much of the same thing, usually quite long too, to make the casual readers losing their interest even trying to join in the discussion.
- +1
Oops, I have already talked too much. Hope you'll excuse my long-winded explanation.
Jul 16 2013: Bart, this was just meant to be a fun thing. I do not appreciate the insult. If this subject does not appeal to you feel free to to take your hostilty elsewhere. Perhaps there is a conversation about about the joy of relaxing somewhere. However if you feel the ned to criticize my topics please do so in 1 or 2 sentences.
bart hsi
Jul 16 2013: Frank, You completely misunderstood my previous comment. I had never criticized your topic, or you. Maybe My trying of keeping it short couldn't get it through with my real intention.. That's the irony.Jul 14 2013: I should chime in too.
- 0
I may not be everyone's first choice but I will never be someone's last resort.Jul 12 2013: I will never settle for anything less than your full attention. I am like a 5 year old attention seeking kid and about as possessive, if you know what I mean.
Jesus Zuazo
Jul 12 2013: Is difficult to express something in a few words and especially written. Speaking you can help with your body move, then express feelings and ideas in a better way ,interact with the other part to check if is understanding you. Writing you must expose your idea, and describe your feelings about that, etc to be sure that someone that read your write in another time could well understand you, and not have different interpretations.Jul 9 2013: Nice try Frank. Short and to the point lasted what 6 comments? Maybe we can get the TED staff to limit the comments to 140 characters. Like Twitter. Of course, that could lead to 20 consecutive commentsJul 9 2013: When I was active in Facebook, it's spooky question used to haunt me. You remember it? What's on your mind?
- +1
In response I used to write one liners, and many interesting conversations seeded from those. Some even said that these one liners sounded prophetic.
Let me be honest then. Here goes some.
Looking for happiness can make you very unhappy.
If everybody around you starts to agree with you, you are in trouble.
Comment deleted
Jul 9 2013: Moreover, I would feel at a loss. There is always something to learn from disagreement. Agreement feels good but does not enrich really.
Managing descent is a skill we all can benefit from.
Politicians do disagree, but towards the safer side, the side with right numbers.
I am imagining the art of ass kissing, rich area.
Jul 9 2013: I do agree that this a rich area, but what do you mean by 'the right numbers'? Numbers are not wrong or right. That's a rich area to do something with, reflect upon. Since we were mentioning science, truth and facts in other conversations - do you remember an independent film The Pi? A mathematician sitting at his computer, trying to find out about one thing and learn about one thing - that maths is the language of nature. Of everything. It is a language, but nature is a code that keeps changing - binary, box-type (A,D, mutations etc ie - the helix)... Not the language of what is right.
Just a little rant, sorry. Especially if I was too wordy.
At school we had to learn about switching alleles, what may happen, gene recombination at a basic level. That was boring. This conversation is fun :)
Best wishes to both you and conversation host.Jul 9 2013: Let me explain right number.
When 80 people are saying that it will be wrong/bad for a mosque to come up near ground zero (of twin towers) and 20 are saying that if erected on a private property, it's perfectly alright, 20 is the right number to disagree with.
I do not see much future of you dear Anna as a politician. :)
Good rant. Come up with more. Let words descend like birds on a lake.
Thanks.Jul 9 2013: Yes, that question was even weirder in different languages. And it keeps haunting me especially because it had a tendency to change. What are you thinking about? That's a bit different than "what's on your mind" but a lot of times a just felt the need and urge to answer - "A lot."Jul 9 2013: Something in your OP caught my eye.
It is difficult to be honest, particularly when one needs to try to be.
Jul 9 2013: You can do it. I have faith in you.

"....but most of all honest" ... ... with the G.O.V.'s [et al.] ear glued to the keyboard?! ("I'm a frayed knot!")
My other biggest problem with talking, is that words usually become the freezing of reality. All-too-often speaking of neat, hard-earned insights ruins them.Jul 27 2013: Neutron walks into a bar and didn't feel an attraction to anyone..... Neutron asks the bartender for a drink, the drink is served and the bartender says "No charge for you"...... Oxygen went out with Potassium and it went OK. Oxygen could have gone with Magnesium but OMG.... Courtesy of my grandson's 7th grade science class.
On the dark side, all my conversations are gone to cyber hell and I am left with a blank page... TED techs will get back to me soon... I hope
Jul 27 2013: Yeah, this conversation has gone south.
Jul 27 2013: Hey it could be worse.... I had one that no one responded to except one guy said I should quit TED.Jul 18 2013: I am just curious to see how the world would transform in 50 years. Could it be, that the TED Community has contributed significantly to this change? I want to flash forward and see what will happen.
Jul 18 2013: Son, if you fast forward you will miss the fun. Even if you are older and do not have 50 more years there is still fun to be had. Take the scenic route.Jul 16 2013: When you look over on the left to the avatar wall.......have any of you ever seen your own avatar there?
I have never seen mine or Fritzie's or Kate's.....but I always see Colleen's, and Krizstian's and Arkady's.
Any thoughts?
Jul 16 2013: Maybe they are looking for real faces.... I'll post a picture and see if it gets there.Jul 17 2013: I couldn't find a picture to post. I did have a head shot that from my salad days when I tried acting... I was so bad.
Anyway, I looked like a cheap knockoff of Frankie Avalon. Zoot suit and hair combed back into a duck tail.. It was nice to reminisce from when I had hair. But I didn't post it.
But, it was nice to go back. Rotary dial phones, computers built with huge banks of vacuum tubes, girls in bobbby socks, who just said no...
I kind of miss those days...
Jul 17 2013: Oh boy Mike.....I guess I opened up a can of gummy worms....LOL
I really don't think that having a picture matters.
Sometimes what I see in the wall is a bicycle, or even now there is some sort of cooking pot, I'm guessing....or an owl.
I guess it is a random pick.....I was just curious if anybody has ever seen their own avatar on there when they log on......I guess I'll continue to be in the dark regarding this most curious dilemma of mine.
Speaking of Frankie Avalon.........have you seen the ads for the new Disney beach movie reminiscent of the his days.......check it out Mike....
Jul 17 2013: Frankie? No, No!
He got Annette and I didn't. My young heart was broken... I quit school and joined the Army. Oh, the tragedy of it all. I even considered going to St. Louis and joining a cloistered order, where you remained silent and made jams and jellies... the silent thing made me go to the Army.

No one chooses their ancestors.
If you got a problem with me, you got a problem..

It's about submissions to TED. I get these brilliant conversations to submit, everyone would be enthralled to join in, often with maximum descriptions and.... I get a CSRF attack. I forget what I wrote and just quit. Should I be paranoiac?Jul 15 2013: See what I mean ?
I did not claim any of what you said. All I said was write it in 1 or 2 sentences. If you can't, you can't. No big thing.
Comment deleted
Jul 15 2013: it is just part of a conversation. Not important.Jul 15 2013: Its really not about impressing when I write long responses. Sometimes its just me expressing myself as much as I can. And sometimes,I get writer's block and am not able to express myself properly, which also leads to long responses.
And most of us here like to read and write long responses just because we like it. This is sort of our way of spending time.
I don't see any ill-effects of writing long paragraphs other than the non-reading crowds getting bored.Jul 14 2013: "know thyself"
Steve C
Aug 5 2013: "As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." -Faust ~Johann Wolfgang von GoetheJul 14 2013: I don't feel compelled to be good. I only feel compelled to be myself.Jul 14 2013: The western man is not comfortable showing his weakness. Indian man is not comfortable knowing his weakness.Jul 14 2013: Ok, I am not perfect, neither is nature.Jul 12 2013: I think Frank, your use of the word "too" in "too the point" should read as "to the point". That's pretty honest!

Often times, people use the profile to do profiling.......to take words out of context and throw them in member's faces.
Sadly, I have seen this done all too often.
It has never happened to me personally, but after seeing it happen time and again, I decided to hide my profile.
Also, I have seen members follow others around.
Whatever conversation they are participating in, someone will pop into the conversation, and disrupt the peace....Again, never happened to me, but I've seen it in the past.
I have found that if you communicate in a positive way, with a desire to understand the other person, then looking at a profile is not important.
You have the choice to ask any question you'd like of another member.
The other member has the choice to answer your question.......or not.
And, also, keep in mind, that people l-i-e.........So a profile is only as good as the person's honesty.
Best to have communication with others, and not to rely on a profile.
This is mho..........but, like anything else in life, it's a personal choice.
Comment deleted
Jul 12 2013: Mike, When I want to be more specific I also use the bio. When someone says, "what do you think of the riots in my country?". Pretty hard to answer with no hint of where that is. There are some with 5 or more IDs and all blank profiles. When TED censures them, they just go to a new ID and continue on. In my age group that is a form of cowardice. There is no responsibility for either words or actions ... allows a coward to become a cyber bully.
Mary and Kate you are also right. It could all be lies. I would suggest at least a area so we could better understand the culture and answer appropriately.

Audio: Investment Portfolio 2013
Recorded: January 23, 2013
Length: 60 minutes
Since January 2012, interest rates have essentially run in place. But don't be fooled into thinking that nothing has changed. For one thing, the Fed has pushed further into the future the period that it expects to be on hold. For another, it is employing another round of Quantitative Easing. On top of that, housing seems to have turned the corner on recovery. All this is occurring while banks have grown their investment portfolios to record size. This one-hour webinar will review the key metrics of the bond market, and will describe ways in which community banks are producing reasonable returns out of well-structured portfolios.
Speaker: Jim Reber is President and CEO of ICBA Securities. He has over 25 years of financial services experience, and is a frequent speaker and lecturer at bank investment seminars and workshops. Jim also writes a monthly investment column for Independent Banker magazine. He is a Certified Public Accountant and a Chartered Financial Analyst.

How Can Offices Be Ready for the Unexpected?Mon, 05/17/2010 - 06:37 — Karol Rose
By Karol Rose * Originally posted on Working Mother
It doesn't take much to shut down a business. It can be a natural disaster, or one that's manmade. Unfortunately, there are plenty of examples of both. Either way, work stops, productivity drops, customers' needs aren't met, the company loses business, and ultimately may be forced to close.
This February, unusual back-to-back snowstorms closed the Federal government. The Office of Personnel Management says it cost an estimated $100 million per day in lost productivity.

My Story, Testing Questions
Posted 19 January 2013 - 01:13 PM

Posted 19 January 2013 - 02:55 PM
BUT, it has cleared or is clearing on a gluten free diet. Yay!! If you don't want to go back on gluten for testing, you will have to be content with self-diagnosis if your dermatologist was unable to do it for you. She is unlikely to do so rectroactively. I assume this is not the same derm. who did the biopsy of the lesion. As you will have learned, the correct way to biopsy for DH is from clear skin immediately adjacent to an active lesion, so this biopsy was not destined to diagnose.
An allergic response would create different symptoms in your body, like hives, anaphylaxis; whereas an autoimmune response would create the kind of symptoms you are describing.
I suppose my question is, if your skin is clearing without having to resort to Dapsone, why do you want to have it prescribed? It is a medication with many adverse side effects and not one to be taken lightly. When symptoms disappear in the absence of gluten, it is reasonable to assume that they are caused by gluten and will return if you resume eating gluten. If the rash is in fact DH, then that is a diagnosis of celiac in and of itself, the skin version of celiac. Even if it were eczema or some other rash that was caused by eating gluten it would be reasonable to avoid gluten. The fact that your daughter has similar issues would tend toward the DH diagnosis since celiac is a genetically based condition.
Welcome to the boards, and I wish you continued good health as your skin continues to clear.

What I'm about to say is all conjecture on my part based on what I have learned & my own experience as well as what others here have reported. You are 39 now & say this has been happening since you were 14. That's a long, long time & if it's dh then it would follow that you have a bazillion antibodies built up in your skin. They are not likely to stay quiet from now on out. You follow my reasoning? Then too; it depends on the severity of the manifestation of a particular persons dh. DH presents in quite a few different ways. I believe the water blister presentations are the most severe form of presentation of dh. From what you describe, yours did not get to that point so perhaps (hopefully) you will be a "short timer". And if we follow that same line of reasoning then your daughter @ 14 should have a quick & easier road of it.
I agree with shroomie about the Dapsone. Were I in your shoes, before I tried Dapsone, I would try limiting iodine intake if/when you get flares.

Someone posted a site that I have been reading. It may help you with your skin issues. Personally, I don't see how someone could say their DH was like acne.
I am taking Dapsone because I told my PCP I could not take another day of the INTENSE itching, burning, stinging of this rash. You can read about Dapsone and I am being carefully monitored via lab work monthly and seeing my doctor. She started by taking lab draws every 2 weeks but since I didn't have a negative reaction, she orders them monthly.
Here is a site that was posted, it may help you.

i got diagnosed in november and all 3 of my kids went gluten-free. for the first time, her boils are healing. it took about 6 weeks to begin to fade, but they finally seem better. they have been a nightmare - she's seen dermatologists and even took Accutane for 4 months. talk about a terrible drug and it didn't do a thing for them.
i wonder if DH has more forms than just the one symmetrical itchy-blister appearance and researchers haven't connected all the dots yet on it.
there is an RN here who specializes in celiac disease that we've consulted with - she told me that it was very likely DH that was causing my daughter's boils. the RN was diagnosed through DH herself, and she's been completely gluten-free for 6 years. she said it takes a long time for the antibodies to leave the skin. after 6 years, she still has some itching on her legs - and she's fanatic about no gluten. she says she gets sick for 10 weeks from a literal crumb of gluten.
i think docs simply don't know much about celiac around here. i've been to many and mentioned my stomach problems to every single one and not one ever suggested celiac disease. my mom had ulcerative colitis, and after researching celiac disease, i'm certain she had it as well. i would trust my own experience and research over the doctors, unfortunately.
anyway, all of that would support your thoughts and experience. you might want to just give it a little more time before trying a powerful drug - if you can stand it, that is.

1968 - allergic to bacon (arm rashes) & orange juice; sensitive to soy
1970s - lots of digestive problems, allergy to citrus, citric acid, cinnamon, lactose intolerant, rosacea from foods
1980s - allergic to oregano, basil, thyme, pork, strawberries, paprika, smokehouse-type seasonings, peppers
1990s - discovered digestive enzymes (YAY!) and my stomach issues resolved by 90%
2012 - diagnosed with celiac via blood tests (tTG) and genes (HLA DQA1*0201: DQB1*0202)
After learning about celiac, it is obvious my mom had it (ulcerative colitis), my brother has it, and my 3 young adult children have it (2 have digestive problems + anxiety; one has DH). we all went gluten-free november 2012.

I know there's some debate regarding topical gluten absorption, but using strictly gluten-free skin products has been amazing for me, personally. Because I started the gluten-free diet and the change in body products around the same time, I'm not sure which of these things are the actual source of my suddenly (nearly) acne-free skin, but I suspect it's a combination of all of it. My DH is still atrocious, though, so I'm going to get more serious about going low-iodine and try to ride this out till the antibodies are gone. That's where the coconut oil comes in though - I've found it helps the itch somewhat, especially where it dries and flakes off.

LAS VEGAS— President Obama has no business asking Oscar Cuevas for his vote.
Since Obama assumed office, Cuevas, 23, lost his job as a cell-phone store manager when the shop went out of business. He spent the next two years unemployed. His parents lost their home and moved in with him. So did four of his siblings, one with a newborn child. Cuevas hasn't paid his own mortgage in months, and the bank has come knocking. He now has a job helping to register Latino voters, but he still can't make his house payment. Too many other bills have piled up.
Cuevas voted for Barack Obama in 2008, but he is undecided this time. "He's not doing a bang-up job," Cuevas said, flashing an infectious smile.
For 100 years, Nevada has been the quintessential presidential bellwether, siding with the victor in 24 of the past 25 campaigns (it missed only Jimmy Carter), more than any other state. And this year, both sides are pouring millions of dollars into ground operations and television advertising to frame the debate.
If the 2012 election is about the economy, then Cuevas—and Nevada—should be a lost cause for Obama. The state has topped the charts in unemployment (at 12 percent), foreclosures, and faded dreams. In some Las Vegas neighborhoods, more than eight in 10 homes are underwater, worth less than they were bought for. In the "best-off" ZIP code in the Las Vegas region, 42 percent of homes are underwater, according to Zillow, the real-estate tracking firm. The only construction work here these days seems to be boarding up abandoned houses.
And yet the president is not just competitive in Nevada, he is leading Republican Mitt Romney, according to most polls. It is not the 12-point margin he won by in 2008, but a slim lead is still a lead.
Vice President Joe Biden's July speech here to the National Council of La Raza crystallized the Obama campaign's strategy aimed at Latinos. Speaking in the foreclosure capital of America, it was 10 minutes before Biden mentioned the economy. Instead, he warned the crowd of nearly 2,000 Latino activists of the dangers posed by a President Romney.
"Close your eyes," said Biden, channeling his inner revivalist.
In the span of a minute, he asked them 10 times to "imagine" the horrors of a Romney presidency. Biden spoke of "self-deportation," Arizona's immigration law, and a veto of the Dream Act. Civil rights, voting rights, college scholarships, health care coverage for Hispanics—all are on the line. "Close your eyes and imagine," he repeated.
The Obama campaign's tactics here in economically ravaged Nevada were laid bare: Shoot the messenger (Romney) and change the subject (from the economy).
Just as Obama wants Latinos to close their eyes to picture a dark Romney future, Romney wants them to open their eyes to the hardships of their Obama economic present.
"Given the dynamics of what's going on [in the economy], it's tough to imagine the president could be as close in this thing as he is," said Sig Rogich, a GOP operative in the state who designed television ads for President George H.W. Bush's campaigns.
Latinos are a big reason why. Although Nevada voted for George W. Bush twice, the state's Hispanic population surged 81 percent between 2000 and 2010. Hispanics are now a quarter of the population and a muscular share of the electorate. They will grow stronger: The 2010 census showed that 39 percent of Nevada residents under 18 are Hispanic.
"You just don't make old white voters like you used to here," said David Damore, an associate professor of political science at the University of Nevada (Las Vegas). Despite a depressed economy that has disproportionately hurt Latinos, particularly those in the construction trades, they haven't fled Obama's coalition. Yet.
They are voters like Adriana Reyes, a 24-year-old who has a janitorial job at a mall and is still living with her parents. "Can't move out because the family is struggling," she said, as she walked through a shopping center where two discount markets compete with empty storefronts. "It's bad." She doesn't blame the president entirely, but she says, "He doesn't seem like he's done a lot."
A registered independent, Reyes voted for Obama four years ago. Now she's not sure. "I go for where it's going to help out the economy," she said. She still isn't sold on the idea that Romney is that candidate, though.
Reyes is not alone. In interviews with Nevada voters, political strategists, and politicians, it's clear that the state's financial collapse has moved many voters out of the president's camp and into the undecided column. But many have yet to migrate all the way to embracing Romney. The polls agree.
A major reason is Romney's image problem with Latinos. In a July NBC News/Telemundo/Wall Street Journal poll, only 22 percent of Latinos nationally viewed Romney positively; 44 percent held a negative view. (In contrast, 64 percent of Hispanics viewed Obama favorably.)

Recipe by Heather
"This is a super easy but wonderfully tasty salad recipe I picked up years ago which has become a summer tradition with my family! The ingredients and proportions are adjustable to personal preference. For added flavor, you can boil the pasta in a mixture of 1 part water and 1 part chicken broth."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 stalk

1/4 cup

1 cup

I made this pasta salad for Mother's Day and it was a huge hit!! Everyone enjoyed it, including my husband who is not a fan of pasta salad. I do want to make two suggestions. First, because I was taking this to a family get together, I felt the 6 servings shown on the original recipe would not be enough so I doubled it to 12 servings. Don't do that!! It turned out to be more like 30 servings. Also, I'm not a chef but I love to cook and the "Prep Time" of 30 minutes turned out to be more like 60 minutes!! Just something to keep in mind. Otherwise, thanks for a great recipe, Heather! This one is a keeper!!!
This isn't anything special, but fairly good stuff and fairly easy to make (even though I hate chopping stuff). What I liked was that it was a great thing to take to work that was reasonably filling & didn't have to be microwaved. And the pasta seemed like the right amount, for a change. (Although I wouldn't call mixing Italian and mayo "genious" since I've seen plenty of recipes that do this - it's just an easy way to tang up the mayo a bit.)

I tweaked this recipe a little. I added mild banana pepper rings and paprika for a touch of heat and used red bell pepper for sweetness. I also seared boneless breast filets then diced them and finished cooking in a pan bringing 1 cup water, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup soy sauce then adding the chicken and stirring constantly until thoroughly cooked, then drained and added to the salad. This keeps the chicken extremely moist. The salad was awesome and disappeared in a flash.
I gave this recipe 5 stars in all categories except kid friendly. I don't have kids, but can't imagine they would care for it too much. My husband and I loved it, though. I substituted black olives instead of green and cut way back on the corn. Otherwise, the recipe was great and works out well for lunches to take to work for a few days. Thanks for the recipe Heather!
What a great summer salad for the whole family. My 23 year old son, who is hard to please, loved this salad. I added a little more onions to fit our family tastes. This is what is great about this salad. You can adjust it to your own personal tastes.
Pretty good. Left out the olives because husband doesn't like them I also used two baked chicken breasts that I had baked instead of the canned stuff (yuck).
Makes a nice lunch of a light supper with a nice dinner roll.
Oh, we all loved it!! I used black olives instead of green, b/c that is what I had. DELICIOUS!! I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old and both ate it up!
I never write reviews on this site and I had to write about this one! Even my husband and daughter couldn't get enough of this! My husband asked when I was making it again. It's really good and the ingredients work so well together. I used some left over rotisserie chicken that I had instead of the canned kind but other than that, followed this recipe exactly. Turned out really YUMMY! Thank you.

Gallery: Modern Dutch House Built From Salvaged Billboards and Umbrella...
A first glance this may appear to be just another nice-looking modern home — until you realize that it is constructed almost entirely from salvaged materials sourced within a nine mile radius of the building site. Dwell's recent profile of this Dutch home by 2012architects explores the uncommon lengths that the project undertook to make a refined architectural statement with discarded materials. The architects claim 60% of the exterior and nearly 90% of the interior is salvaged through a process they dub recyclicity — read on to find out how they did it.
Unlike most projects that start with a design, Villa Welpeloo started with a heap of scrap materials sourced locally at factories and warehouses. The team also used Google Earth to find abandoned buildings and lots near the building plot in Enschede, The Netherlands that may contain useful materials. As a result, the home's framing comes courtesy of steel taken from abandoned machinery in a textile mill. The exterior is clad with boards salvaged from 600 cable reels that were first heat-treated by a process called Plato to weatherize them. The cladding's clean lines do not betray the humble origins of these materials.
Inside is a treasure trove of interesting reuse — advertising signs are transformed into cabinets that reveal their origin when a drawer is opened. The architects asked for people in the town to drop off their broken umbrellas, whose spokes were transformed into low-voltage lighting. The design was careful not to give away all of its material origin — instead it take a classic modernist approach and features simple refined spaces with delicate touches throughout. Lots of daylight, white spaces with built-ins, and walkout decks make the house very livable. Head over to Dwell for more photos and info, and check out the architect's slide show, which has a wealth of images of the house and the materials used to make it.
Reusing building materials significantly reduces landfill waste and pressure on natural resources. Novel and dynamic designs often result from incorporating salvaged materials into a building — they add personality.

I would recommend contacting the architects directly about the material science of the house. They have great website that is full of information and projects based on re-purposing materials. I do not see the project having any better of a deconstruct profile than many other houses. Building to deconstruct and be reabsorbed into the materials pool is only recently becoming a design consideration for projects as a whole- most of what I have seen is on the individual product basis like Interface Carpet or Cradle to Cradle. You project sound interesting so please keep us up to date with your findings.
February 1, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Thanks for sharing the news about this unique house. No doubt that a house can't get any greener as far as the materials used, but do you know if the design used life-cycle principles to minimize environmental impact for the full life of the house, or who we could speak to find that out?
We've been looking for candidates of sustainable building to highlight that consider long-term economic and environmental impact in the selection of materials and design, consistent with research recently released from MIT. If this house qualifies, we would like to showcase it as a real-world example of life-cycle principles at work.

My brothers built a 3-level tree house when we were growing up, made with wood from electrical spools as shown in your house. They used the round part for siding, and one for the first "floor" up into the tree house. It is a favorite memory. Our dad bought 100 excess spools from electrical contractor for our play and fun.

Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo)
What to say first? Meeting the orangutans and the people who are dedicated their life to save these great apes, sleeping on the klotok, watching the fireflies at night, eating the most amazing meals that made on the boats, planting my own tree to help getting the forest back, and the list goes on and on. The one day overnight trip to Kalimantan was the highlight of the Indonesia trip.
You can spend a week in Java and still won't see the most of it. Java Island has so many things to offer. We visited a few of the attractions: the culinary central of Indonesia - Yogyakarta, the world's largest Buddhist temple - Borobudur temple and an active volcano - Mount Bromo. Our time in Java required a lot of travel times, but it was totally worth it I should say.
The Komodo dragons were surreal! Snorkeling at Rinca Island was a great experience, but I've heard the Pink beach was even better. Sad that I didn't experience the best part of the journey but oh well, I guess I have another reason to be back.
The last few days of two week long trip ended in Bali. It was the perfect retreat - besides the traffic. We had a surfing lesson in Kuta beach, went to see the Kecak dance, and eat the sucking pig. As soon as we landed on the airport, we all had the deep breathe 'Haaaaa.....' Wish I could spend more time in Bali. A rain check?GALLERY

1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1 tablespoon
minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
onion, sliced
1 pound
pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
1 (10 ounce) package
sliced white mushrooms
carrot, shredded
3 tablespoons
soy sauce
2 tablespoons
rice wine
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon
Stir Fry sauce with brown sugar HAS to be good! I made twice as much of the soy/vinegar/brown sugar /cornstarch mixture and then tossed the stir fry with ramen noodles (cooked without the seasoning packet) to soak up all the good flavor.
I was skeptical at first when I tried this because there wasn't alot to the sauce. I ended up doubling the sauce because I threw in extra veggies and I wanted to make sure there would be enough to cover everything. We didn't love the sauce. There was something missing and the rice wine was not a great flavor in it. All we could taste was the rice wine. I'm not sure if I will try this again. It didn't leave me feeling satisfied at all.

I also doubled the sauce and added a tbs of hoisin sauce at the end. When the stir fry was finished cooking I stirred in some Chow Mein Stir fry noodles. This would have been good with broccoli and/ or snap peas.
Really neat flavour... I reduced the garlic and found it refreshing.
This was a quick and easy stir fry to prepare, and went really well served over noodles.
I tried this recipe, last evening and we just loved it. will make it again. thank you Doreen
very good, made it this evening using bacon instead. My husband loves it. I followed what the others said and double the gravy and I added some chopped green onion before serving it. Will definitely make it again.
I also doubled the sauce as recommended, but found the dish kind of bland. I served it over vermicelli noodles, but it was just missing something. Probably needed a little heat, and maybe a bit of oyster or hoisin sauce.
