PSB Imagine mini-Monitors
- Written by Piero Gabucci
- Published on 10 May 2012
Introduction to the PSB Imagine mini-Monitors
For the audiophile world to take seriously a small bookshelf speaker, let alone a "mini"-monitor there has to be some significant backing and/or history.
Much has been said and written about the NRC, or National Research Council located in Ottawa, Canada. The decades of research developed helped shape many generations and iterations of speaker design by focusing on the "physchoacoustics" or specifically the tools by which we analyze sound within a space. Much of the jargon we all use; open, airy, transparent, open, closed, etc., comes from the many papers presented from this group. The NRC gave designers and audio visionaries like Paul Barton the facilities to develop research and experiment.
Given so, PSB or Paul and Sue Barton's Canadian company has been in business since the early 1970's.
So here I'm presented with the amazingly small but beautifully crafted "gem" in the Imagine mini-monitor. Despite just referred to as the Mini's at this point, they are far from sounding like a speaker with diminutive stature. I'm sure many reviews will praise these tikes, so I'm just glad to throw in my adoration.
Within minutes of receiving them, I immediately threw them into the system and played something, anything, and everything. I didn't care what the drivers were or crossovers, or filters applied, I just wanted to hear them. So my first session was impressive; WOW! I didn't expect a full, rich and complex sound, at least not right away, but that's what I got.
So who are they for? During my interview, Paul modestly suggested, the professional who wants a great sound in their office, or a bedroom, etc. Geez Paul, how about anywhere you want good sound, especially in a space-challenged environment.

Sojitz Acquires Asian Sales Rights to Braskem's Green Polyethylene
7:46 AM MDT | July 11, 2012 | Natasha Alperowicz

Antipyrine and benzocaine otic is used to relieve ear pain and swelling caused by middle ear infections. It may be used along with antibiotics to treat an ear infection. It is also used to help remove a build up of ear wax in the ear. Antipyrine and benzocaine are in a class of medications called analgesics. The combination of antipyrine and benzocaine works by reducing pain and discomfort in the ear.
Antipyrine and benzocaine otic comes as a solution (liquid) to place into the ear. When antipyrine and benzocaine is used to relieve ear pain, it is usually used every 1 to 2 hours as needed. When antipyrine and benzocaine is used to help in the removal of ear wax, it is usually used 3 times daily for 2-3 days. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use antipyrine and benzocaine otic exactly as directed.
Antipyrine and benzocaine otic is for use only in the ears.
To use the eardrops, follow these steps:
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using antipyrine and benzocaine otic,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
This medication is usually used as needed. If your doctor has told you to use antipyrine and benzocaine otic regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use extra solution to make up for a missed one.
Antipyrine and benzocaine otic may cause side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Do not freeze. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Antipyrine and benzocaine otic should be thrown away 6 months after the bottle is opened. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
If someone swallows antipyrine and benzocaine otic, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Shoulder Season: Vermont Bounces Back
The panicked email from a vacationer at Good Commons, a boutique country home and retreat center in Plymouth, Vermont, read, "The water in the basement suddenly rose just below the basement door. I grabbed my belongings and drove up a 'new river' as I saw huge boulders running down the road in my rear view mirror. There is no way of knowing the state of your house. Not much you or anyone can do at this time."
Good Commons owner Tesha Buss, who had been overseas for a friend's wedding, returned to find her 175-year-old property flooded - but still standing amid mounds of rubble and debris, which was a lot more than some of her neighbors. Last year's Hurricane Irene cost an estimated $7 to $10 billion and Vermonters rallied only like Vermonters do, pulling out their tractors and excavators, firing up their back-up generators, and rebuilding an infrastructure faster than you could ski down a black diamond run at Killington Mountain Resort.
For those in the know, shoulder season refers to that odd time in between the snowboarders and the cyclists or the leaf peepers and the holiday family reunions, but this year's shoulder season takes on new meaning as friends and neighbors commemorate surviving Irene's wake by celebrating the bounty of the great northeast.
Natural Beauty
With more than 200 mountains over 2,000 feet in elevation, Vermont is a breathtaking escape for hiking, biking, and skiing, or a leisurely drive among the local farmers and charming towns that dot the countryside. More than 75 percent of the state is forested, which makes for dramatic fall foliage and rolling hills where you can spot herds of cattle and sheep lazily basking in the sun.
Route 100 Scenic Byway (newly designated just prior to Hurricane Irene) is a majestic stretch of road that can be appreciated no matter what time of year for its river-hugging twists and turns and majestic vistas. The 31-mile stretch is the perfect way to view fall foliage and get your American history fix with a visit to the Calvin Coolidge historic site (just off of Route 100A), where the 30th President of the United States resided.
A year ago, the pristine lake at Camp Plymouth State Park was murky brown due to contaminated water and its beach covered in debris. With cleanup efforts complete and the lake once again open to visitors, you can play out your Brokeback Mountain fantasies at the site's group camping facility, consisting of six lean-to's and addtional tent grounds. You may even strike it rich, as the area was once known for its gold mining in nearby Buffalo Brook.
If you want to experience Vermont from historic hiking paths, take advantage of the Long Trail. Built over a span of 20 years during the early part of the 20th century, the oldest long distance trail in the United States includes 273 miles of footpaths, 175 miles of side trails, and nearly 70 primitive shelters. The Green Mountain Club has created a collection of their favorite hikes, with descriptions and downloadable maps for every level of outdoor enthusiast.
Local Artisans
Vermont has long been home to artists seeking sanctuary to explore their creative vision through sculpture, craft, theater, and beyond. Perhaps it's the pure mountain air or the progressive communities that support their work. In any case, the juxtaposition of this creative force set against an ever-changing agriculture backdrop is worthy of a standing ovation.
Famed glassblower Simon Pearce moved his outpost from Ireland to Vermont in 1981. The former woolen mill in Quechee (and its adjacent covered bridge) has withstood the test of time and features exceptional artisan creations. Pearce, known for glass blowing and pottery, now employs hundreds of craftspeople that carry on his European handcrafted traditions.
While brown trout isn't typically part of the artists' collections at the Bridgewater Mills Mall, that's exactly what owner Jireh Billings found in the elevator shaft post Hurricane Irene. The storm wiped out a basement full of antiques and odds and ends but also served as inspiration for a new collection from famed furniture, pottery, and accessory-makers ShackletonThomas. Husband and wife team of Charles Shackleton and Miranda Thomas met in England while in art school during the late 70s, and have since set up shop in Bridgewater. Each piece is made one at a time using classic techniques. You can witness their team's intricate craftsmanship during during workshop hours, but the trout has long since been returned to nearby Three Sisters Farm, where it was released.
If you're planning on heading to central Vermont for ski season and find yourself taking Amtrak, consider paying a visit to the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland before hitting the slopes. Housed in a Queen Anne Victoria Mansion dating back to 1896, the multidisciplinary venue showcases a variety of exhibits, performances, panel discussions and other public events.
During the summer months, be sure to catch a show at Weston Playhouse Theatre Company, Vermont's oldest professional theatre. The first season back in 1937 featured actor Lloyd Bridges and has since gone on to feature award-winning talent including Christopher Lloyd and Tony-winning designer John Lee Beatty. Hurricane Irene hit at the end of the theatre's 75th anniversary season and its first world-premiere musical. The property has since been repaired (and upgraded) and is once again presenting plays, musicals and new works.

Even though they are selected in the View | Choose Columns (?) menu window. That is, both Web site and URL are selected, but neither shows in the item attributes window.
I don't have either of those boxes clicked there
What I do have it those attributes ticked in the menu - Tools>Attributes
And I bring up the Attributes panel by the menu - View>Other Windows>Item Attributes (or just CTRL 4)
CTRL 5 brings up the item notes (or otherwise just go through the same View menu)
And for some reason, the UR folk apparently don't believe that, even with screen shots . I don't doubt that the product is good, but it simply does not perform as advertised on my system. My next step, when time allows, is to deinstall, reinstall, see if something went awry in the original install. That seems more and more likely, as new [non] events occur .
I do sort of understand where they are coming from. This sort of thing just works in UR - as long as you know or can work out how to do it. It is, to my mind, rather like Directory Opus: lots and lots of possibilities and controls - but so many places to do it and so many things you need to understand. I don't think I ever read the manual; I did find some really informative key posts in the forum written by the developers. Just a question of finding the ones you need. My guess it is not your install that is a problem, just your settings somewhere.

It's about to get very difficult to escape Tim McGraw.
The country star's new movie, Country Strong -- which also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester -- hits theaters nationally on Friday. (It had a limited Nashville/Los Angeles opening in December.) McGraw is thoroughly working the talk-show circuit in the meantime to make sure everyone knows about it.
Fans can catch the singer/actor on the Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday (Jan. 4), Good Morning America and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (Jan. 5), Chelsea Lately on Thursday (Jan. 6) and The Martha Stewart Show on Friday (Jan. 7).
When McGraw completes his Country Strong duties, he's set to put the focus back on his music. This spring, the singer -- who has a new hit with No. 1 song "Felt Good On My Lips" -- plans to kick off his Emotional Traffic Tour, with supporting acts Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
An itinerary of cities the tour will visit hasn't been released yet, but details are expected in the near future. Tickets will start going on sale Jan. 15.

Welcome, Hawkeye fans, to one of the greatest big-game victories in school history! Despite walking into the stadium as underdogs to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, coach Kirk Ferentz helped his team gather inspiration, spurring on the Iowa Hawkeyes to a stunning 24-14 victory in the Orange Bowl, for the school's first-ever BCS Bowl Game victory. Featuring the work of legendary panoramic stadium photographer Rob Arra, this huge print featues a 50-yard line view of the unfolding scene in South Florida, as the opening kickoff stands just a second away. As you pan across the print, you can see it all - the partisan crowd standing throughout the grandstands; the sideline entourages, cheerleaders, and marching bands; the massive video boards on either end of Land Shark Stadium; and the action on the field, as the likes of Brandon Wegher, Ricky Stanzi, Tony Moeaki, Adrian Clayborn, and the rest complete the upset! Printed on high-quality gallery stock, and complete with slick white-bordered design, this is both a beautiful piece for the wall of home or office, and a valuable collector's item for years to come. Whether you were at the game that day, are a die-hard College football enthusiast, or an Iowa fanatic thrilled by this unforgettable and historic night, this is the ultimate addition to your collection!

Faith Jackson, 9, created a haven in a hollow magnolia tree in her Soulsville yard. Inside is a portal to everything she can imagine - a refuge where she transforms her fear of living in a neighborhood where gunshots frighten her into a leafy friend she calls April. Chris Dean observes: "Just 'cause it don't have a heartbeat don't mean it's not real. In autumn, when the leaves fall, I wonder if she gets sad. If you think something is real - it is."
Lonzo Johnson, 60, picks up cans for extra money, filling a ragged garbage bag that spills cans back onto the street. Johnson, who lives in a one-room shed, spends his hours covering bicycles in beer cans and shiny found objects. He mounts boom boxes to his tricked-out bikes and rides through the streets of South Memphis blasting soul classics. Johnson is proud of his ability to knock big guys out. Folks call him "Bill Dundee," after the pro wrestler. Chris Dean observes: "Ten cents a can is what the old man is sayin' without sayin'. But hard work won't pay off if he keep dropping cans. Too much pride to hold out his hand, so ten cents a can is what the old man is saying without saying."
Discarded furniture litters the street at 380 E. McLemore as Dontarrius Lee, 9, looks for his friends around the Willoughby apartment complex. Dontarrius says he wants to be a police officer when he grows up. Chris Dean observes: "We grow up seeing a community with no pride. Imagine how hard it will be for that boy in the picture to become a businessman. Look at what he sees when he comes out his front door. It's hard to look past the things that are right in front of you."
Chris Dean's mother, Paula Dean, sings "I Give Myself Away" at Repairers of the Breach Church in Southaven as a member of the congregation cools her with a fan. Chris Dean observes: "Church is the only place one can go that move spirits and changes heart. If you are having trouble in your life, you might tell a room full of people you don't know something that you won't tell your husband."
Shadows cast on The Neighborhood Market Place on Mississippi. Owners Arvis and Sonja Latting describe their store as an inner city WalMart with the best prices in town for secondhand clothes, shoes, linens and electronics. Chris Dean observes: "In this area, there is a lot of prostitution. About four years ago a hooker got killed. This reminds me of the women that walked the streets. Many of them are pregnant. You shouldn't bring a kid into that situation. They can't afford not to. It's sad stuff."
Marcus Wellington, 20, has lived in Foote Homes housing project all his life and has an 11-month baby girl. The initials A.T.M. on his neck stand for "addicted to money" and the tie he sports on his chest is a sign of entrepreneurship. He plans to get shirt sleeves and a Rolex watch tattooed next. "If you don't hustle you don't eat - it's all about the bread and the meat," he says. Chris Dean observes: "What is the purpose of the projects? Is it for the people to kill each other off or to somehow come together and help each other? Or maybe the 'project' is already done."
Bread awaits purchase at the M&R Grocery and Deli #3 at the corner of E. Trigg and S. Wellington. Store owner Bill Wilchie says the most popular items he sells are cigarillos, beer, cigarettes and sugary drinks. Once he gets his EBT machine turned on, he expects that service to increase business by 40%. Chris Dean observes: "Bread made out of nothing. That's what they feed us. And it's cheap so that's what the people are gonna buy."
The Vance Grocery Store is central to the daily life of many who live in the Foote Homes housing project. Shanicka Austin gets a drink after Fourth of July fireworks. She wears "Chucks," Chuck Taylor shoes, with the toes cut out. The shoes are the same color as her toenails. Chris Dean observes: "Lots of traffic on that corner."
Memphis police Capt. L. Jackson has known many of the shoe shine guys at Anthony's Unique Shines on McLemore since they were kids. He tries to support them with his patronage because they are doing something constructive and he wants to give them some hope that a person can survive doing legal work. Tim Lawson, 41, shines the captain's shoes. He has worked at the shine shop for 25 years. Chris Dean observes: "I started really respecting the captain because one time my big brother got in trouble with my mom. He is really big and tall, like 230 pounds - so my mom called the police just in case. I was the second man in the house so captain started talking to me and told me his life's story - about how he was treated and how his father was. He really broke it down and he started crying. That was my first time to see a man cry in person. He was a man first and also a man of the law. Every time you see him, he's so tough. And in my hood the dope boys are scared of the police. And he's a caption over the police! Like a lion showing respect. My respect for him skyrocketed. Look at him - he gets his shoes shined."
Less that 24 hours after a building burned down near Willie Jones' apartment, he and many others scoured the property for metal that could be sold. Jones, 59, carries a fence section to the bed of a truck and split $200 from the sale of the metal. He lost his arm when he was working on a demolition crew. He says, "There ain't too much for a one-armed guy to do. I just do what I can." Chris Dean observes: "Having nothing to lose makes you humble, so when you do get something it makes you hold on to it."
On one of the hottest days of the year, Francine Hudson, 53, struts down Latham singing to pass the time. She sings Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek," but then minutes later breaks into tears when she sings "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. Months earlier, Hudson's jawbone, nasal passage and eye socket were crushed during an attack on the street when she refused to sell herself for $10. She still has screws in her gums from the surgery done at The MED. The former secretary, receptionist and fast food worker says she's seen death and been raped. Chris Dean observes: "She started out as a good girl who was taken advantage of by the streets. Now she is the streets. She is the definition of surviving."
Reggie Allen calls himself the man of a thousand faces. He's the owner of rooming houses in South Memphis and dreams of being an actor, a cowboy and a bluesman. He is seen showing one of his many comic looks, a bandito. Chris Dean observes: "People say seeing is believing and when you dream you get to see your hopes. That's why they call it hopes and dreams."
A Chevy with 24-inch wheels sporting an alligator skin interior is the envy of some in Foote Homes. The owner of this car used to give Chris Dean money to make trick shots on the basketball court to encourage him not to get in the dope game. Chris Dean observes: "Right across the street from the school is where the dope boys rule and all the li'l girls think it's cool."
Flippers, left to right, Avalanche Wallace, 9, Eric Bonds, 9, and Keyshawn Henry, 12, learn to make money using their acrobatic skills and tip buckets daily on Beale Street. The children help to support their families. Flexing, Bonds says, "Look how my arms is. I'm gonna be built." His uncle founded the Beale Street Flippers. Chris Dean observes: "To have someone by your side to say this is how it's done - someone to look up to. Not just flipping but in every step of life - someone to say don't make the next right because that's one of the mistakes I made in life."
On July 4, Tamika Humphrey, mother of two, was hit and stabbed when an argument got out of control in Foote Homes. Her lung was punctured with a shovel. She is still recovering from the incident. Chris Dean observes: "She should be sitting on marble steps. South Memphis is not the place for Tamika. She deserves much more."
Many in South Memphis believe William Boyce was a basketball star who was poisoned. It's a familiar street tale. Successful people get mickeys slipped in their drinks. Boyce will tell you he played on the Memphis Tigers and did a stint as a pro and also in prison. He's 6-foot-9 and walks about 15 miles a day with milk crates that he shoots a basketball into. He pins notes to himself advertising his services as a stenographer and secretary or as a 40-word-a-minute typing newspaper reporter or a nurse's aid. Chris Dean observes: "All the years of shiny light has only helped him walk into a black hole. To feel sorry? No! Because sorry is something the hood will not let you feel. Love will got you killed. You see him and shake your head not knowing were he's been."

On May 9, President Obama sat for an interview in the White House with the ABC News anchor Robin Roberts. Both of them knew what she'd been summoned there to discuss, and Roberts didn't waste any time. "So, Mr. President," she said, "are you still opposed to same-sex marriage?"
Obama was ready for the question. A few days before, Vice President Joe Biden had said on Meet the Press that he was "comfortable" with men marrying men and women marrying women. The surprise statement went against the president's own ambiguous stance, which was that he was against gay marriage but in the process of "evolving." At the same time, evidence of the political risk inherent in the issue was abundant. The day before, May 8, voters in North Carolina -- a key swing state that Obama narrowly won in 2008 -- had overwhelmingly voted to ban gay unions, making it the 31st state to take such a step.

Obama sat back in his leather chair, his legs crossed, his hands in his lap, composed and a bit detached. "Well, you know, I have to tell you, as I've said, I've been going through an evolution on this issue," he began, in his usual roundabout way. "I've always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally." He pointed to his administration's repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy for gays serving in the military and its refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court. He'd hesitated to embrace gay marriage, he said, out of respect for tradition and a belief that civil unions offered enough protection to same-sex partnerships.
But now the president had changed his mind. "I've just concluded that, for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," he said.
The reasons for Obama's about-face, as he explained them, seemed perfectly normal. His thoughts, he said, had gone to his own staffers "who are in incredibly committed, monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together." He'd thought about the troops, fighting on his behalf, yet still facing the constraint of not being "able to commit themselves in a marriage." He talked about the values he wanted to pass on to his own children and the emphasis his own faith placed on the Golden Rule.
As natural as Obama's statement may have sounded, his words were as carefully chosen as the interview. The testimonial to the gay men and women in his life; the discussion of values and the Golden Rule; the remarkable fact that America's first black president, discussing an issue many see as a modern civil-rights struggle (with a black interviewer, no less), made no reference to civil rights -- these were all talking points straight out of the new playbook of the gay-rights movement.
The architect of this strategy is Evan Wolfson, a New York lawyer and gay-rights activist who heads a group called Freedom to Marry. Over the preceding months, Wolfson had briefed White House officials, including Valerie Jarrett -- the close Obama adviser often seen, for better and worse, as the president's liberal conscience -- on the findings of the group's years of research, findings that showed the most persuasive way of talking about gay marriage.
And while Obama's reversal was instantly hailed as a watershed moment, behind the scenes, Wolfson and his allies were already well on their way to fulfilling an even grander ambition. Gratified to have finally lured the president to their side, the activists were quietly working to bring voters on board, too. Although gay marriage was already legal in six states and Washington, D.C., it had been granted each time by judicial fiat or legislative action -- voters had never yet endorsed same-sex marriage at the polls.
That all changed on Election Day.
On November 6, four states -- Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington -- took the side of gay marriage in ballot referenda. The improbable sweep for an issue that spent decades as an across-the-board political loser has already changed the landscape for gay rights in America -- and could provide a new framework for other causes: The leaders of other social movements, such as the campaign for gun control, are already studying the methods behind the gay-marriage campaigners' victory.
This is the exclusive story of that victory, based on reporting that began more than a month before Election Day; dozens of interviews; and access to scores of internal communications.
Engineering a Revolution
Today, America stands on the brink of a gay-marriage tipping point. The Supreme Court's announcement on Friday that it would hear two cases related to gay marriage, including an appeal on California's Proposition 8, raised the possibility that by next summer, legal gay marriage could be the law of the land.
But before November, gay marriage had been placed on 31 state ballots -- and voted down 31 times. Even in blue states such as California (2008) and Maine (2009), defeat was universal. To opponents of gay marriage, that perfect record had become a powerful talking point -- proof that American voters stood firmly against any redefinition of the fundamental societal institution. "The people of this country have not changed their view that marriage is the union of a man and a woman," Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, told me in August. "The only poll that counts is the vote, and we've never lost the vote."

Caviar is one of those foods not on my lists of food I enjoy. That said however, using the golden roe here makes it look amazing and would trick me into trying one.

Hey CJ,
could you describe the taste of roe a bit? I've always been put off by it because I just imagine it as sacks of salty liquid that tastes fishy, but there seems to be quite a following for it.

You pretty much described it! I can't do any better. Try it.
- February 28, 2014 at 2:03 PM
- Blue Arc said...
If you've never had it you need to try it just for the experience. Why would anyone not want to try caviar? It's a unique taste experience. These look great Chef! Easy to do too. Imma gonna try it!

How about serving these on prawn crackers (Kroepoek or Krupuk in Europe)?
Example: http://assets.24kitchen.nl/24kitchen_nl_nl/recipe/118630.660x372.jpg
Or would that be too 'fishy' overall?

- Whitney Callan said...
Do you think using fresh dill instead of chives would be ok? Or is that not string enough to balance like the chives?
- March 1, 2014 at 5:45 PM

Too subjective to answer other than to say I'd prefer chives!
Same goes for chip question above.

Hi Chef John, These are pretty little tidbits! I don't care for the taste of any fresh-water fish so I don't think I'll like their roe either. But I love tobiko (flying fish) roe so I'll give your recipe a try with tobiko!
Tobiko is naturally orange in color but you can also get black where they added squid ink, yellow from citrus yuzu, red from beets, and green from spicy wasabi. Pretty and yummy!

Can anyone explain to me what 'string theory' is?
I know this is a stupid question, but I've heard about string theory many times, but have no clue what it really is. Please understand I have very little background in physic. Do you have a good explanation about what it is and why it matters a lot in our universe? Thanks!
Thomas Reddy
May 23 2012: Here are the things that are likely to be most important for you to know about String Theory
- +7
1) It hasn't been observed experimentally, nor are there any experiments which have been conceived that could verify or falsify it. It is currently a mathematical framework that does a decent job of describing phenomena we know, and may tell us something about why certain things are the way they are.
2) String Theory is about the smallest of scales. Atoms are made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made up of a range of Quarks. And the whole mess of them are theoretically made of tiny little vibrating strings.
3) Sting Theory may provide physicists with a way to unify all of the forces of nature into one basic force that just behaves differently in different situations... This is like how Electricity, Magnetism, and Light can appear to be three very different things, but when viewed in the correct way can be represented as different expressions of a single electro-magnetic force. In this way, scientists hope that string theory will be able to combine Gravity & electro-magnetism into one force. (It would also combine the Strong and Weak Nuclear forces which are the two other known fundamental forces.) This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge.
4) In addition to understanding "HOW" the universe works the way it works, it could help us begin to answer some of the "WHY" questions... Or if not answer those questions, at least correctly frame the "why" questions. Why are there X fundamental particles, and why do they have the values they have? Why is value of the speed of light the value that it is? Why is gravity as strong/weak as it is? etc... String Theory probably won't answer many of these questions, but it's an attempt to try.
5) The mathematical framework of String Theory is really complex and un-intuitive, that doesn't mean it's wrong. But it is the source of much of the criticism of String Theory.
May 23 2012: Wow. Thanks for your answer!
That actually explains a lot for me, I think I might have just the simplest idea of this very complicated concept.
I may not understand the whole String Theory, but it gives me a realization that our universe is beyond mind-blowing!
Thanks for the video too, I'll definitely take a look at that after my finals. :)May 24 2012: A very useful reply Mr Reddy maybe you should write for documentaries. If only they would stop discovering new stuff we might get a unified theory. It will be interesting to see how dark energy impacts on string theory if we have a fifth fundamental force bacause of it.
Paul Limbers
May 23 2012: I'm no expert but my understanding is that string theory is trying to get to the smallest scale of physical matter. Originally atoms were thought to be the smallest particles of matter, but then we discovered protons, neutrons and electrons and then quarks, bosons, fermions etc. String theory suggests that electrons and quarks (which have been thought to be dimensionless objects) are actually vibrating one dimensional 'strings' that are the fundamental units of all matter and forces. It is a mathematical model rather than based on actual observation though, as there are inherent difficulties with trying to observe matter on that scale. The main benefit is that it allows for quantum field theory to be consistent with general relativity. I hope that makes some sense and actually helps.
- +3
May 23 2012: Thanks for your answer, Paul.
It makes a lot of sense to me. I can start to imagine the idea of it.
Funny thing is, I just came out of my physic class which still explains how atoms are the smallest of all. This new revelation about the String Theory changes the way I think! Once again, thanks :)
May 24 2012: Well, most of the world we interact with can be explained very well by saying that protons, neutrons, and electrons (the building blocks of atoms) are the smallest things. You can get through 4 years of Chemical Engineering which is heavy on Physics and Chemistry without having to talk about Quarks.
Get a handle on whatever physics class you're in. After you get through Mechanics and E&M, you'll be better equipped to start looking into some of this other stuff, but String Theory is really the end of the line on this stuff. Pick up Hawking's "Brief HIstory of Time", it's a good read and it goes a long way to introducing you to the more exotic stuff. Or go and find anything and everything by Neil DeGrasse Tyson when he's talking, he's electric. Brian Cox is also good at explaining things, take a gander at his stuff on here, or a 1 hour special he did in Britain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f9wcSLs8ZQ
May 24 2012: Yeah I really love Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Michio Kaku is also my favorite.
Thanks for the recommendation :)
How about Hawking's The Grand Design? Which is better for a starter?May 25 2012: This simplest explanation I know is to start to imagine a huge loaf of bread with infinite length, and that huge loaf of bread is sliced into its individual slices, and in each slice of that infinite loaf is something unique and different about that slice. Now look get your own loaf of bread and slice that bread into smaller individual pieces by hand. Investigate each slice and you will see that each slice is different, and that is the multi-verse definition for string theory.
The additional understanding I have realized it that music's effect on you is evidence enough to find that each Quark vibrates to a similar vibration, which is similar to the effect of listening to music we love or hate. Music tunes into our vibrations which connect with us deeply and the lyrics adds a bigger impact in addition to the music you find so catchy. =)
Thanks for reading my thoughts. Hope that helped. =)
May 26 2012: hahaha! Now this is a very interesting analogy.
And now you got me thinking about music too!
Thanks a lot :)
May 29 2012: I'm happy to make you think of music. =)
No problem. =)

I'm glad I stumble upon TED. TED has really change the course of my life. :D
Ric Shanahan
May 24 2012: Hi Felippa, String theory is one attempt to explain how matter gets its properties such as mass and gravity. It does this by attributing each known particle as if it were a string vibrating in different frequencies such that each vibration frequency ties in to a certain characteristic of the particle. No question is stupid!
- +2
May 26 2012: Thanks for your answer Ric! It's very easy to understand :)May 26 2012: M-Theory is the unifying mathematical description of a theory of everything whereby a vibrating 1 dimensional string represents an energy unit that interacts with a subset of 11 dimensions to yield part of the observable (and unobservable) universe.
The first thing one learns in Quantum Physics is that matter is merely constructive interference of energy. M-Theory exhibits the case for all particles and attempts to rigorously describe each manner of energy interaction.
It only matters insofar that humans wish to understand the Universe and to do so in the most elegant manner possible. M-Theory is the mathematical means to that end and may aid human exploitation of the Universe.
Non-mathematical means seek to understand the Universe less explicity, yet are equally relevant.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/conversation-with-brian-greene.html (If you like Brian Greene, check out this interview)
Also, you should watch Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" which seeks to educate the general public on the mysteries that physicists such as Stephen Hawking try to solve.
If you want to understand the universe you will encounter two branches of theoretical physics:
1. Quantum Mechanics
2. General Relativity
Quantum Mechanics seeks to understand the smallest particles in the universe, even smaller than the atom. In this realm, there is something called the "Uncertainty Principle." It says the closer you get to a particle, the less you know about its motion. Strange? Definitely--the quantum mechanics realm is perhaps as strange as you can get! Particles literally teleport from place to place all the time. In this realm, unreality blends with reality in a strange way. Unfortunately, you really do have to have a mathematical background to truly appreciate the phenomenon you see here.
General Relativity is a realm totally opposite of quantum mechanics, as it deals with objects in our universe. Partial differential equations are able to predict space and time of objects. Einstein is perhaps the pioneer of this study. General relativity introduces what Einstein called the 4th dimension known to us as time and made the amazing claim that gravitation is actually the curvature of space and time.
String theory tries to unite these two concepts into one theorem as part of the search to find "The Ultimate Equation," which I particularly doubt we will find. It's hypothesis is that electrons and the quarks that make up an atom (which make up elements, which then make up chemical structures, then cells) are 1-dimensional "strings" rather than simply points. As xkcd jokes, the theory does not have a useful stance...yet. But this IS the future of physics.
May 26 2012: I quite enjoy the idea that anywhere in the observable Universe that we find nothing, there is a non-negligible amount of destructively interfering energy and within unobservable dimensions (dark energy) and that within the Universe it is currently greater than the amount of constructive interference observed. The same applies to constructive interference of energy in unobservable dimensions (dark matter).
;-)May 24 2012: Stephen Hawking is my favorite author. If v r interested in physics then v always eager to know about Hawking's theory. very good person he is!May 24 2012: String theory refers to mathematical models in attempts to find an explanation for the four main physical forces. These forces are gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.
Classical physics describes the universe as made of small particles (points) which are static (not moving) and unchanging. In contrast, string theory describes the particle as a string or line (not a particle or point). The string forms the four different forces by vibrating in different ways.May 23 2012: It has to do with wrapping presents at Christmas time. To tight the box gets crushed. To loose the wrapping paper falls off and your present looks bad and your wife gets mad at you. Glad I could help. Just a regular Joe. BobJun 5 2012: all matter is made up of tiny tiny strings vibrating at various frequencies.

May 26 2012: Thank you for your encouragement, and for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate your answer too! :)
May 27 2012: @Felippa I have too many friends in china, very intelligent lady they are like you. Happy to meet you and especially for your interest in Physics. Its a very good subject. I always encourage to those people who really interested to know and to do something new in their life.

May 25 2012: I'm trying to learn more about this subject myself. I am a non-expert, but here is how it looks to me.

String theory is a creative and theoretical attempt to reconcile how the General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics can be incorporated into a single unifying theory.
I have found understanding physics gets acceleratingly wild as you work backward toward the fundamentals in an attempt to understand why our physical world behaves the way it does, or seems to.
I find youtube especially helpful because it often offers graphics with someone explaining some esoteric part of physics. It makes difficult ideas easier to grasp for me. The Hadron Collider (see youtube) is beginning to produce more information about this subject. You may want to check it out if you haven't already.
You possess one of the most fundamental gifts of all - curiosity. Welcome to TED.
May 26 2012: Thank you for the warm welcome!
It is really wild, but at the same time very exciting. Even when I know so little about physics, the broad possibilities of our universe is just mind-blowing!
Oh, and thanks for the recommendation :)May 24 2012: If you are inquisitive- you qualify for cosmos quest. I question stephen Hawking because , he has not understood the cosmic function of the universe. East west interaction helps you to search origins- Cosmology Vedas Interlinks.
multi-Universe concept is introduced by me dec 1999- Cosmologyreview [dot] com -available through
www [dot]scribd[dot]com/doc-27460496/THE-COSMIC-VISION-OF-THE-UNIVERSE-PART-1-BASIC-APPROACH-Dec-1999May 24 2012: I am obviously far from being a scientist but from what I read about it in the past (and from what many have already mentioned) it is really attempting to explain matter to its basic atomic constituents.
also from what I read from Kaku, string theory may have some relation to explaining what dark matter is, so if you understand string theory it may give you some insight to the nature of and structure of dark matter...
I'm not sure if this answered your question
May 26 2012: So you've read Kaku's book? Would you recommend it?
And one more question, what's a dark matter?
May 29 2012: I cannot exactly say I read his book but I did read excerpts from it. The passages in his book were part of a larger anthology that I was reading but yes it was an excellent read and I would recommend it. The part that stuck out to me was when he mentioned how the government shut down studies for dark matter (or how the government stopped funding for this one device that would help scientist understand dark matter). This is interesting being that understanding the nature of dark matter would mean understanding much of our universe and its origins, which I am sure the government would have been interested in. the device was actually designed to understand more about string theory.
As for dark matter, in a nutshell it is unseen matter that seems to be attracted to gravity. As mentioned before, no one can see dark matter but you can see its effects or influence on other bodies from the universe. For example, light cannot pass through dark matter. it can only go around dark matter. Also without it, many things in space would just fly off randomly. Galaxies would also break apart. Many astronomers and physicist realized that the bodies on the outer parts of galaxies were moving just as fast as those closer to the center part of the galaxies. This was quite odd because the outer bodies, moving at such a fast speed should have flown off into unknown space but they didn't and this concluded that there was something keeping the galaxies together and calculations showed that there was more mass than what people could actually see.
String theory relates to this because many believe (or at least used to believe) that the constituents of dark matter, were actually sub-atomic, so seem theory in relation to dark matter is breaking down dark matter (or matter in general) to its molecular and basic constituents.May 23 2012: No worries Felippa, I'm glad I could help :) Though, it might be worth noting that it's not unanimously accepted at the moment, it's still a bit contentious. But yeh, strange about your physics class haha.May 23 2012: sorry for disappointing you, but probably not. even to have a glimpse of it, you need advanced math.
May 23 2012: I don't agree with that. There are a number of very skilled physicist/lecturer/science popularizers who can condense the general sense of String Theory into a form digestible by people without real knowledge of advanced science and math. It probably takes more than the 2000 characters we have here though :)
It wouldn't be enough for a person to make predictions, or really use the theory in any way, but it would be sufficient to understand the concepts in play.
May 23 2012: can you give us an example?
i have a BSc degree in chemical engineering, and i work as a computer programmer, so math is kind of my my thing. i managed to somewhat understand special relativity, and i have a clue what general relativity is about. they tried to teach me quantum mechanics with little success, but i passed the exam. i watched the talk of brian greene here:
but all i got is i don't get it. i understand the metaphors, but i have no clue how this theory actually works. i also read some book of stephen hawking, as he explained some new way to describe spacetime in order to get rid of the specialness of the time dimension. the guy struggled to make it available to the reader, but but basically he said what i described, and nothing else. everything else would be hopelessly abstract postgrad math.
einstein said: everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. i believe for these advanced theories, as simple as possible is way more complex than we can grasp.
May 23 2012: So, I was going to point to that video to help out the uninitiated. Another helpful one is:
I guess, the question is, what level of mastery are you actually looking for? I would hazard to guess that you have the insight into the matter that Felippa was looking for in here original question. You could probably give her an answer that satisfies her curiosity. The problem I think you have is that you have enough knowledge to know that your own knowledge on the subject is inadequate to sate your own curiosity (a problem I too suffer from).
I had a B.E in Chemical Engineering, and I too took courses in Quantum and Relativity. I've also done some reading into String Theory, and what I can say is this... If you're in over your head in Quantum, you're not going to understand the math and concepts that are really deep at the heart of String Theory, because it's just as loony. That's not meant as an insult, it's just a very difficult subject, and to make matters worse, String Theory isn't a complete subject. For the most part, we know how Quantum works. We can make predictions and test the theories... String theory is one step removed from a graduate level math class, and that's about as esoteric as it gets.
If you have 15 hours to kill, and you're interested, I'd also recommend Leonard Susskind's lecture series on the development on String Theory. It requires a good deal of advanced Math, and some understanding of Quantum, but I found it to be informative. It's on You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25haxRuZQUk&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SPA2FDCCBC7956448FMay 23 2012: the first video contains no information, and in that regard, very typical. i intend to someday watch the lecture series. thanks.

I've got to admit that I'm loving this Florida winter. It's going to be really hard to go back home at the end of the month. My mind just can't wrap around the fact that it's January when it's in the 80′s everyday. So, this winter, I'm not curled up with a hot drink under mounds of blankets. I'm sitting in the sunshine, sipping an iced drink with an umbrella in it. Somehow, the book is even better. Now here's what the WW Ladies/Men have been reading.
Steel's Edge by Ilona Andrews
Read by joysann
As a healer, Lady Charlotte de Nay is vowed to never use her magic to harm others. But after slavers invade the Edge and kill her friends to capture her unknown patient, they've created a terrible enemy who can and will kill with horrible physical illnesses. When she finds her patient again, she joins with Richard Mar, known as the Hunter to the slavers, to do anything in her power to destroy those made rich on the evil trade.
The Edge series speculates about the space between a world of high magic and a world of none. Again, Ilona Andrews has written a book with characters and situations that I find fascinating and is a thrilling page turner. I've become an enthusiastic fan of the adventure and romance I find in each book.
The Nightmare Garden by Caitlin Kittredge
Read by Amanda, 12
Aoife Grayson has left her mother in the town of Lovecraft. Her brother Conrad and her friends Dean, Casey, Bethina and Cal have gone to Lovecraft to save Aoife's mother because everyone thinks she's going crazy from the iron. They discover that Aoife's mother is not in Lovecraft and are attacked by ghouls. Aoife reunites with her father and goes with her friends to Valentina's home for a safe place to stay. To find the Brotherhood of Iron, Aoife must leave to the Artic Circle, which can only be reached in dreams. The Brotherhood is the one that has the secret to make the world right again. Aoife hopes that she can save the world and make everything right again, or else she will be considered as crazy as her mother.
My attention was captured immediately in the beginning of the book by the descriptive details of the people of the book. I particularly enjoyed Aoife's character, because she has such strength in all of her challenges within the book. It was really surprising how suddenly her father appeared in the story. This book has inspired me to want to read more books by Caitlin Kittredge because of her details and emotions throughout the book.
Tarnished by Karina Cooper
Read by Joe
Meet Cherry St. Croix. Society would claim she is a well-heeled miss with an unfortunate familial reputation. They've no idea of the truth of it. In her secret world, she hunts down vagrants, thieves – and now, a murderer. A monster stalks London's streets, leaving a trail of mystery and murder below the fog.
This is an excellent example of a steampunk mystery. While the backdrop is a fictional London that lives both above and below the fog, the story itself is a mystery that doesn't shy away from any aspect of Victorian life – including laudanum. Cherry St. Croix reminds me of a few of my favorite characters, making this whole book a steampunk version of a Sherlock Holmes tale, if Irene Adler was the main character. And assuming she was a combination of Irene Adler and Stacia Kane's Chess Putnam. Highly recommend this book and I am eagerly awaiting the second.
Black Diamond Jinn by Mary Hughes
Read by Susan
Government witch Amaia Jones knows the Mayan Doom is going to end the world. Very soon. Like four hours. The only force that can save the world is a black diamond jinn. When her boss won't let her call him, she turns to her guardian angel. What she doesn't know is that Rafe is a black diamond jinn and that there's an enemy behind the Y12 panic. After Rafe tricks Anaia into calling him to her, she discovers he's the most gorgeous creature she's ever seen. He agrees to help save the world. In exchange for his help, he wants…her.
Black Diamond Jinn was a fast and exciting read. The writing was great, the characters quirky, the plot smart and the love scenes steamy. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end.
The Art of Duke Hunting by Sophia Nash
Read by Ashley
The Duke of Norwich's family has a curse, everyone of the previous Dukes before Roman has meet an untimely end, therefore Roman has two rules avoid all things duck related and never go to sea. He also plans to never marry so this horrible curse will cease to exist. But then the morning after the most extravagant royal bachelor party Roman finds himself aboard a ship in the middle of the biggest storm of the decade. Lucky for him the Countess of Derby was aboard this ship, and Roman soon finds comfort in the arms of Esme. Together Esme and Roman learn that some rules are made to be broken.
The Art of Duke Hunting is full of witty and funny dialogue that made me fall in love with the characters. A heart-warming tale, of two very different people coming together and sharing in each other's passions. A must read for any historical romance lover!
Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch
Read by joysann
More than an apprentice wizard, Police Constable Peter Grant is called in to investigate the murder of a wealthy American student in one of London's underground stations. The mystery not only questions who stabbed him, but how he got there from nowhere. Peter's investigation takes him to new depths of understanding the magics and history of the ancient city.
I'm completely enamored of Peter Grant and his magical investigations. This is the third book in the series, and it just keeps getting more intriguing and addicting. The writing is entertaining and humorous, the characters are charming and quirky, and the books are thoroughly enjoyable.
Over the Edge by Mary Connealy
Read by Ashley
Seth Kincaid survived a fire in a cave and then fought in the Civil War, when he finally returns to Colorado he is crazier than ever and suffering from a dash of amnesia. Seth doesn't remember getting married! Callie searched and prayed and worried when Seth disappeared and now that he is back she is much more interested in shooting him! Can their love recover before one of them goes over the edge?
Over the Edge is the third book in The Kincaid Brides Books. I have not read the first two books but after reading this one, I will definitely read the first two books! Over the Edge was romantic historical western! I loved every minute of this page-turning dramatic love-story!
Bottom Line: Gearing up for my weekend with the Florida Romance Writers…just need to pack my flip-flops.

Wow Pari you are outdoing yourself with fab clicks and heartwarming wadas.I totally second your opinion on sharing.
Actually,I would like to take tips from you on photography as well.If you have time to,that is.
Thanks dear.
- 9 February 2011 at 10:45
- Pari said...
Thank u friends for such heart warming comments, I 'm just too overwhelmed.
Rajani, I'm still a novice when it comes to photography. I'm so glad that u are enjoying my captures. The only tip I can give u is take pics in day light and try to avoid using flash.
- 9 February 2011 at 17:22

Lovely & tempting vadas.......................Awesome pictures.
- 24 September 2014 at 11:57
- Sunee Singh said...
One more clarification. Sabudana has to be soaked overnight in water and 2-3 spoons of curd. Is it?
- 24 September 2014 at 13:25
- Pari Vasisht said...
Yes, soak with few spoons of curds.
- 24 September 2014 at 15:47
Hi Pari ,thanks for sharing this delicious and mouth watering vadas. Wanted to try for longtime. Pari u be more clear with rajgeera flour. Have no idea. Can u post a pic and brand name. And I more thing soaking sago overnight with curd would not get spoiled. Should we keep in fridge for that reason.
- 2 February 2015 at 17:18
- Pari Vasisht said...
Shweta Taneja, Rajgeera is also called amaranthus in English. It's a gluten free grain usually used for fasting. Curd doesn't get spoilt over night it just gets sour that's why it's added in very small quantity just to enhance the taste.
- 2 February 2015 at 17:28
Thanks pari. But can u post a pic it will be really helpful in recognising it:-)
- 2 February 2015 at 17:59
- Pari Vasisht said...
Shaweta, pls Google it. It's easy to locate. Search amaranth grain and flour.
