By Tom Murray. CREATED May 3, 2012
CALEDONIA - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources sent the Parker family a letter saying the water coming out of their well is not safe for people to drink.
"Somebody should be held responsible for it," Ken Parker told TODAY'S TMJ4 reporter Tom Murray.
About two dozen residents got similar letters about their private wells.
Not far from the Parkers, Frank and Anne Michna have a stunning Lake Michigan view. Their land has been in their family for more than a century. But, they too live near the Oak Creek power plant and they too were told by the DNR that their well water is contaminated.
"It scares me everyday," Anne Michna said.
The DNR took extensive samples late last fall. It was the beginning of a yet-to-be-completed investigation into where the contamination is coming from. At the Michna home, the agency found high levels of boron. The Michnas have been told boron can cause fertility problems.
"I have 13-year-old girls," Anne Michna said. "I worry every day, are they going to have fertility problems? Will they ever get a cancer?"
At the Parker home, tests revealed elevated levels of molybdenum. A fact sheet provided by the state says molybdenum can lead to hallucinations, stomach sickness, kidney disorders and joint pain.
The Wisconsin Sierra Club blasted We Energies six months ago when one of its huge landfills collapsed into Lake Michigan. When it comes to well water, that same group says problems often arise near power plants.
"It's a shame that they need to be drinking bottled water. We all should have clean, safe drinking water," said the Sierra Club's Jennifer Feyerherm.
DNR hydrogeologist Joe Lourigan said the molybdenum could be naturally high in the area. The agency is look at the We Energies plant as a possible source of the contamination. They are also looking at an old landfill which, by federal standards, is filled with hazardous chemical waste and has been designated as EPA Superfund site.
Each month, Culligan delivers bottled water to the Michnas. We Energies is actually paying for that water. But, We Energies said that is not an acknowledgment that its plant is polluting the water.
"The result that we got from our firm that we had hired to do an analysis was there are two key factors that point to it not being from our facilities," said We Energies spokesperson Brian Manthey.
We Energies paid for a study that found the groundwater flows away from the neighborhoods with the problems. Manthey said that the study also found molybdenum levels get higher deeper into the ground and farther away from the plant, which the company contends is evidence that its plant is not the source.
Residents are not convinced.
"We're sitting here, losing our property values. We can't drink our water. It puts us in a very bad situation," Ken Parker said.
The Michnas believe giving in would be giving up on their family's history.
"Our lives are deeply rooted here and it would be hard to just pick up and go somewhere else," Frank Michna said.
The DNR expects test results back from its water samples in May. The agency plans to release its findings late summer.
If you are interested in testing the water in your own well, call the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene in Madison at (800) 442-4618. You should request a test kit for private well metals. You can ask for a molybdenum test to be included in the kit. There will be a fee. There is a fee schedule posted on their website. Some private labs may also be able to test for molybdenum. There is a list of certified laboratories on the department's website.

Please, show us your code
The reason why Gavin and I were not able to repeat Scafetta's analysis in exact details is that his papers didn't disclose all the necessary details. The first point he raised was that we used periodic instead of reflection boundaries. The fact that the paper referred to the expression '1/2 A sin (2 pi t)' to describe the temperatures or solar forcing would normally suggest that they used periodic rather than reflection boundaries. There was no information in the paper about reflection boundary. But this is no big deal, as we have subsequently repeated the analysis with reflection boundary, and that doesn't alter our conclusions.
After further communication, we found out that Scafetta re-sampled the data in such a way that the center of the wavelet band pass filter was located exactly on the 11 and 22 year solar cycles, which were the frequencies of interest. He also informed me that a reasonable choice of the year when the reflection boudary was made should be the year 2002-3 when the sun experienced a maximum for both the 11 and 22 year cycles. This information was not provided in the papers.
I'm no psychic, so I couldn't have guessed that all this was needed to reproduce his result. But since Scafetta has lost faith in my ability to repeat his work, I think it's even a greater reason to disclose his code so that others can have a go.
For the record, we did not just use wavelets to filter the data – we obtained the same conclusion with an ordinary band-pass filter.

I use a couple different mixes, depending on what I'm cooking. I have one mix I like for breads, another for "generic baking", and I follow the recipe I linked to for biscuits. The quality of what you make does depend on the mix of flours.
To do gluten free baking properly (meaning developing your own recipes, making your own mixes, etc), you have to know a bit of the chemistry involved in baking. Wheat flour is extremely versatile, which is why it's used in almost every baked good. It can be incredibly elastic in one setting, but light and flaky in another. There's no single gluten free flour that can fill in for wheat flour in all its roles. That's why we mix different flours together. When making a mix, different flours are chosen for different characteristics. A blend of flours is typically good in some roles, but less good in others. No mix is perfect.
A blend of flours that is good for making bread may be too heavy for cookies. A blend that's good for cookies may be too crumbly for bread or biscuits.
With all that in mind, the only honest quick answer I can give is "I don't know". It depends on what the general blend is, and what it was designed to do.
However, let me also add this: "Try it anyway". If you need to eat without gluten, you're going to spend a lot of time cooking your own food. My personal viewpoint is that the only way to learn something new is by making mistakes. If you do it right the first time, you learn nothing new, but by making mistakes, you at least learn what _not_ to do, and those are the lessons that you remember.
The recipe I posted is "good enough" for me. It's not perfect, but a couple weeks ago my wife (who is not on a gluten-free diet) bought a cannister of pre-prepared wheat flour biscuits. I know she misses the ones I used to make, but I'll only make gluten-free foods now.
We cooked both, and our kids preferred the homemade gluten-free biscuits to the store-bought, cannister biscuits.
I have made biscuits with other flour mixes that turned out like rocks. These don't. Is it related to the flour mix? Probably. Is the one I posted the only mix that can make good biscuits? Absolutely not.
Try your flour mix and see what happens. At best, you get good biscuits. At worst, you learn something that doesn't work.
Good luck!

Anyway, for the softest texture, I've found that legume flours are the best. You don't need dairy or eggs to get a soft texture this way. However, xanthan gum will not work anywhere near as well as guar gum for such a recipe. Generally speaking, the higher the percentage of legume flour, the softer the texture, and the sooner they will brown in the oven. Depending on the flours you use, the amount will typically be between 20-50 percent. Too much will work against you. Some legume flours work better than others for soft biscuits though. Some good ones include fava, garbanzo, and yellow pea. By far, soy flour creates the softest texture and quickest browning, but obviously there are issues with soy for many people. Buckwheat flour can work well for a percentage of the flour in soft biscuits too, but most brands are not truly gluten-free. You could make your own from Wolff's or Pocono brand buckwheat groats if you have a blade type coffee or spice grinder, or you can use the only safe buckwheat flour I've ever found, available at www.ployes.com. They apparently have some limited regional distribution, so depending on where you live, you may find it locally.
For most any recipe including biscuits, a blend of flours generally works better than a single flour. A starchy flour, or a plain starch can be used at up to about 40-50 percent. There are numerous combinations which can be used, depending upon your particular preferences of taste/texture. The best of the starchier flours I know of is sweet potato flour (the white one). I suppose some nut flours may also work, but they are generally expensive so I haven't had much experience with them.
Based on my experience, I'd say a stoneware muffin pan will work better than metal, for the texture you're looking for. Forget trying to make them on a flat surface such as a cookie sheet. It will not work. These are not the type of biscuit that you can roll out dough and cut with a glass. Never have I found any gluten-free biscuit to work that way, as the dough in that case is simply too stiff to rise. The dough has to be soft, so you'll need something to put it in to hold the shape. Some folks like to use a shallow cake pan, and essentially make a cake, only without all the sugar and flavorings. Then cut into squares.
If you order your flours over the Internet, you'll have more choices. If you are limited to locally available flours, post what those are, and I may be able to suggest a blend that will work for you. I never use dairy or egg, which can open up more recipe variations for you, if you can have those. If the color is important to you, that will rule out some flours.

I have been able to adjust most of my old recipes to gluten-free, but the biscuits just don't make it.Does anyone have a good old fashoned recipe that will make light biscuits? Mine are heavy as a stone.
Nope, mine either. Take a look at other responses I rec'd from a similar post last December. I'm going to try DB12's recommendations. Are you from the south? I MISS my biscuits.....

Thank you SO much. I'm very sorry it's taken me this long to reply. My granddaughter was born on 12/27 with a RAGING infection (exact quote) and was in NICU for 12 days so I'm just now getting to this. I've seen the Cup4Cup flour and know how expensive it is but I'd pay just about ANYTHING for decent biscuits. So, you think this gluten-free flour is worth the price? A dear friend used it to make me two loaves of bread (I THINK using a regular bread recipe) and the bread was just so-so. CERTAINLY not worth $20 for the bag of flour.....just sayin'. I'll look up the book you suggest. Many, many thanks.
The buttermilk biscuit recipe from the "Gluten free on a Shoestring" cookbook is great. I don't have the book with me, or I'd post the recipe, but it's pretty basic, I think the secret is in the handling she suggests (chilling dough after mixing, for example). I have made it with King Arthur gluten-free Flour, which was good, and with Cup4Cup gluten-free flour, which was out of this world incredible. I have served the Cup4Cup biscuits to several non-gluten-free groups, and had people ask for my recipe, they are that good. My non-gluten-free husband eats about 4 per sitting. I also use them to top turkey/chicken pot pie. The Cup4Cup flour (from Williams-Sonoma) is not cheap, but I use it for special occasions, as it is fabulous.

Turisas is a Finnish folk metal band from Hämeenlinna. It was founded in 1997 by Mathias Nygård and Jussi Wickström and named after an ancient Finnish God of war. Turisas is a folk metal band, incorporating elements of power metal and symphonic metal along with frequent harsh vocals. Turisas is known to play most of their solos on electric violin, as opposed to traditional guitar solos. The album title Battle Metal has given rise to the term "battle metal" being used as a description of Turisas' genre (used mainly by Metal Hammer magazine and its readers) but it is not yet recognised as a canonical metal subgenre.

http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/...-shoplift.htmlA man is facing an aggravated arson charge after allegedly setting a clothing rack on fire inside of a store as a diversion to steal items overnight Tuesday.
Whitehall police said it is one of the most extreme cases of attempted theft they have ever seen.
According to Whitehall detectives, a man was riding a motorized shopping cart inside of the Walmart, located at 3657 E. Main St., when he set a clothing rack on fire.
Kevin E. Gillman, 26, is charged in the case after detectives tracked him down.
At nearly 500 pounds, Gillman was on a motorized scooter when he allegedly planned to steal electronics and safes, according to authorities.
Detectives said the suspect set the fire by using paint from the store as an accelerant.
The diversion forced employees to pull an alarm. The suspect tried to sneak out in the chaos, but chose a locked door. Police said that forced him to ditch his items and leave in a white car.
It blows my mind that someone would endanger the lives of hundreds of people in that store to get away with virtually a petty theft, said Det. Sgt. Daniel Kelso, Whitehall Division of Police.
Columbus police then arrested a shoplifter in a Walmart on Georgesville Rd, 18 miles away. That man fit the description in the Whitehall case.
Criminal mastermind.

Donald Rumsfeld's new book Known and Unknown has raised the bar on the talent he mastered as Bush's secretary of defense: offending just about everybody. Here's to those who have borne the brunt of Rumsfeld's criticism -- and those who have made it by unscathed, so far.
Offended: Condoleezza Rice
PBS's Gwen Ifill says Rumsfeld may have thought of Condoleezza Rice as loyal but not competent as national security adviser or secretary of State, and that the two butted heads often: "'I don't want four hands on the steering wheel,' he advised [Coalition Provisional Authority chief Paul] Bremer, who he discovered was talking daily to Rice."

Enforcement blitz greets opening of 2013 ATV season in Claremont
CLAREMONT - The Claremont Police Department has launched its 2013 ATV enforcement effort, Police Chief Alexander Scott said in a press release Friday.
"Specially-trained officers will be performing safety checks and enforcing speed limits, registration laws and other violations of the NH OHRV Statues," he said. "The patrols will take place on a regular basis until late autumn."
Until mud season ends May 23, all ATV trails are closed with the exception of Sugar River Trail, he said.
The enforcement program is funded by the NH Fish and Game Department.
"The goal of the Claremont Police Department program is to reduce the number of OHRV accidents and create an atmosphere that is more attractive to families who wish to utilize recreational trails for hiking, bicycling or ATV-riding" Scott said.
Reminders, Sugar River Trail has a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, the trail next to Washington Street has a speed limit of 10 miles per hours. OHRVs must be registered annually, trailbikes and OHRVs rider are not to emit noise exceeding 96 decibels and removing, destroying, defacing or obstructing signs and markers on trails is a misdemeanor.
People with questions regarding OHRV call police at 542-9538 or can visit the Sullivan County ATV Club website at www.sullivancountyatv.org or Fish and Game at www.wildlife.state.nh.us.

Fresh fish auction at El Campello
There's nothing like really fresh fish.. it's one of the things I most love about my time in Spain - the supermarkets are packed to overflowing with beautiful glistening fish packed with ice .. yet it can still get fresher! My local port brings it's catch ashore every evening and you can join the event - either to buy fresh off the boats or just to see the locals haggling...
It's not the Sydney Opera House!
For sure, the person who designed the quayside in El Campello wanted to create a low-cost Sydney Opera House. To be fair, this building has weathered the extreme heat and the wild storms of the Mediterranean very weil for it's age.
Free parking (but only for 2 hours)
Normally access to the car park at the market is shut and barrier-controlled. This is very frustrating for visitors to Campello's sea front since it could probably allow for at least 100 extra cars to park at port level. However, the fishing port is controlled by the Generalitat Valenciana - not an organisation known for spending it's money wisely, or indeed money it never had. Anyway from 6pm the barrier goes up and you can pop into the fish market without needing an entry card. It comes down when the markets over though so don't think you can stay all night..
Fish you can buy
Unlike a lot of wholesale fish markets, Campello actively encourages visitors to come and see it's wares and, in addition to wholesale buyers from all the big restaurants and supermarkets, you can just buy a tray of fresh fish to take home. Sometimes they're so fresh they are actually flapping about in the market...
Gamba Roja (Red Prawns)
These are an absolute delicacy in this part of Spain and are very expensive (60,00 EUR a kilo in the markets and supermarkets), obvioulsy they can cost a small fortune in restaurants. But Half a kilo is only 30,00 EUR!! - to make them simply heat up a frying pan, sprinkle the bottom with coarse Maldon type sea-salt. Plop the Gambas into the pan and pan fry them for about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with some chunks of lemon and plenty of paper towels. These lovely prawns are even better in the months of December - February (when the Mediterranean is a little cooler) and come ashore in El Campello, Villajoyosa and Santa Pola ports.
And fish you can't
A lot of the catch is sold in quotas to supermarket chains and restaurants at previously contracted prices. These big crates of Boqueron (sardines) were heading to Madrid.
Club Nautico
The port area is split between the fishermans port on (next to the market) and the Club Nautico de El Campello on the other side. Both the Club Nautico and the explanade make excellent spots to enjoy an evening next the sea.
Getting there
El Campello is located 17km north of Alicante on the N332 main road. You can best reach the town in a car hire from Alicante Airport (I would say that, now wouldn't I), however there is now a very excellent tram service connecting Alicante and Benidorm that passes through the centre of El Campello albeit roughly 1km from the beachfront itself. There's quite a lot of free parking near the beachfront and new for 2012 a large pay car park (3,00 EUR per day) to carry any overflow...
FGV Tram timetable (in English) => www.tramalicante.es/page.php?idioma=_en (new window)
Best times to go
The fish market opens at 6pm and closed by 8pm on weekdays. This is also the best time to enjoy El Campello - I'll do some articles on the best bits of the town another time! Make sure there's no local or national fiestas on - fishermen never work fiestas...


text: Film overview faculty program organizations after graduation Studying Film may be a relatively new field, but it is quickly growing. The New York Times is calling Film Studies "The New MBA." Click here to read the article. Some of our minors have gone on to study film at the graduate level. Some are working in the film industry (or in related fields, like television). But Film Studies, like the study of literature, provides training in critical thinking that is an asset for almost any field of endeavor. What Our Students Have to Say These fine students have completed or are currently working on a Film Studies Minor. "I enjoy the Film Program because it challenges me to closely examine classic films in order to find meaning. The program certainly has improved my critical thinking and writing skills." –Jim Fleury '09 "The film minor classes have opened my eyes to a medium I already loved. It has introduced me to movies I would never would have seen otherwise, or been able to understand. The classes let you experience a whole new aspect and appreciation of film."– Ricky Vernetti '09 "What's unique about the film minor at Le Moyne is that it is an interdisciplinary program. So, I had the opportunity to apply what I learned in my other classes (such as English, Philosophy and Political Science and Women's Studies) in a practical format, while learning about film history and critical theory. I cannot overstate the benefits of studying film at Le Moyne. I would recommend the minor to students of all majors." - Sarah Morisano '05 "The film minor is a wonderful complement to the English Major. It helps you understand all forms of expression, thinking, and how to analyze film as a text. The film minor applies to all aspects of your life, academic and personal. It might be hard work, but it's some of the most fun you will have in college." – Adelle Moore '06 "I added the film minor in my senior year, and I am so happy that I did. The classes that I took were some of the most challenging as well as enjoyable classes I took at Le Moyne. Professor Grossman and Novak were engaging and informative. They were a lot of work, but they were worth it." – Jillian Cain '06 "Completing the film minor at Le Moyne was one of the most rewarding things I did during college. The courses were fun, stimulating, and a great variety were offered each year. I was introduced to new forms of analysis and gained general appreciation of all genres. A wide variety of film-related events on campus and in Syracuse made the minor even more enjoyable. When I vacationed in Hollywood, I felt I had extra knowledge and insight while touring historic movie studios. I would recommend the minor to anyone!" – Kerry L Delduchetto '07 The Film Program provides excellent opportunities to expand your resumé and get more involved with the Syracuse International Film Festival. The festival is always looking for volunteers (on and off season)! Become immersed in a society of film and receive free admission to events for your help!

The Cookie Comes To America
According to the book, English and Dutch immigrants brought the cookie to America in the 1600s. The Dutch used the word koekje, while the English primarily referred to cookies as small cakes, seed biscuits, or tea cakes, or by specific names, such as jumble (a spiced butter cookie) or macaroon. By the early 1700s, koekje had evolved to cookie or cookey, and was well-entrenched in New York City, then the nation's capital—a factor that resulted in widespread use of the term.
During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, most cookies were baked at home as special treats, both because of the amount of labor and the high cost of sugar. Recipes for jumbles, macaroons and gingerbread are found in early cookbooks. Our simple butter cookie recipes are similar to English tea cakes and Scottish shortbread (the term "tea cake" is used to describe that type of cookie in the Southern U.S. as well).
During the 19th century, affordable sugar and flour, plus the introduction of chemical raising agents such as bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), led to the development of other types of cookie recipes.‡ Another explosion of cookie recipes took place in the early 1900s, not surprisingly paralleling the introduction of modern ovens with thermostats.** Cookbooks yield recipes for cinnamon-accented Snickerdoodles, raisin-filled Hermits, Sand Tarts and many varieties of butter cookies including Southern-style Tea Cakes. The famous chocolate chip cookie was not to appear until 1930, an accident (as so many good foods are). Read the full story.

'Hong Kong Cuisine' ( aka1983 ), Happy Valley - Now I understand why it earns one of Openrice highest rating!!
After enduring some mediocre food during my first day stay in Hong Kong, the tide was quickly turned by some superlative delicacies and offerings from 'Hong Kong Cuisine', Happy Valley!!
If there is one culinary wasteland on Hong Kong island side, Happy Valley must be it! Therefore, I was totally taken by surprise by the high quality food at this relatively new establishment located on some obscure side street, a few blocks from the race course.
The forte of this restaurant apparently lies in the fact that the kitchen has the skill and capability to execute, authentically and brilliantly, dishes from various regions all over China! Be it Cantonese, Shanghainese, Pekingnese or Sichuan...etc.
Our party of three settled for the 4 course set lunch menu that gave us the option and flexiblity to choose our own Dim Sums ( be it northern or southern ), different types of soup, as well as different entrees choices.
We selected the 'must-have' Har Gow shrimp dumplings, Char Xiao Bao ( BBQ Pork steamed buns ) and Pork and Veggie Pot Stickers. For the soup, we picked the ' Supreme Soup Dumplings with fresh crab meat and dried scallops " and ' Double boiled Black Silken Chicken with wild mushrooms medley and Chinese Ham '. For entree, we opted for the 'healthy' choice - Fried rice with minced Chinese Ham, Conpoy, diced fresh Asparagus and Egg white. Dessert was a Green Tea/Mango mochi.
To augment the above, we also decided to add a 'Shanghainese Smoked Fish' dish just for fun and to try out their ' Shanghainese capability '.
Of all the dishes we ordered, I cannot fault a single one!! Every dim sum morsels were meticiulously prepared and executed. The seasoning of the filling delicious and refreshing! Shrimps were crunchy and sweet, the BBQ pork bun fluffy with an abundent of juicy filling. Pot stickers were totally non-greasy with a perfectly thin skin and crispy bottom. The shell wrapper encased so much pork filling and broth that one wrong move/bite and one's friend seating across the table will be showered by 'squirting liquid'!! Fried rice was one of the most flavourful I have eaten. Only the uber delicious Yang Chow fried rice from Yung Kee beat it by a whisker! Both soups were delicate and delicious. Finally, the moist and chewy Shanghainese Smoked Fish covered with an addictive sweet sauce was a dish to remember! How I wish we can get something like this quality in Toronto!!
Only slight mishap was the Har Gow Wrapper that unfortunately fell apart when picked up. A touch too long in the steamer?
After such an enjoyable meal, I decided to extend my culinary exploration of this gem by having a more elaborate dinner at a later date.
Now, I hope this positive trend will continue tomorrow!! ( 2 Michelin star restaurants awaiting!! ).
One last thing! Instead of handing the patrons hard copy of menu, they give you an 'iPad' with dishes description, photos, price...etc. One can even order the dishes thru the mini-computer without even talking to a single 'human' serve person!!
Good review, Charles! Made me wish I'm in HK right now.
BTW, Happy Valley = 'culinary wasteland'?! My cousin on Wong Nai Chung Rd will be weeping. Have you tried the old French restaurant, Amigo, there recently? That's one place I'd want to try on my next trip.
As for the IPad menu and ordering thang, Charles, quite a few restaurants in Singapore and even Kuala Lumpur have that system now.
Tampopo Restaurant in Liang Court, Singapore, for instance, has a conveyor belt sushi system but where the main conveyor belt also has branches going into separate individual tables. When you order via the touch-screen menu on your table, your items will be delivered directly to your table as microchips are embedded under each of those little sushi plates that will identify your table as their destination.
re: klyeoh
Sorry, if I made your cousin weep!! However, IMHO, that's fact!! Apart from Amigo (which is super-expensive) and a Tasty branch, I am really hard press to identify another outfit worth my making a special trip to?!!
Love the restaurants in the HK jockey club! But that's ' Members Only'!!
re: Charles Yu
Depends how one defines "culinary wasteland".
The two cha chaan tengs right off Wong Nai Chung Rd are pretty decent, one is more older and divey than the other.
There's Fu Loy which Loudmouth manly woman Ah So deems the best sweet and sour pork in town (further up the hill) from a few years back.
The roasties shop near the two cha chaan tengs is also quite excellent for local fare/rice plates.
The food court on the top floor of the wet market, has some cheap decent eats, Cheung Kee for thick toast, and I think Tai Kee for thin toast. Chu Kee in the cooked food center you can get some stir fry, seafood, and even braised abalone. When I visited Cheung Kee, I sat next to an expat who came originally from Singapore, moved to the UK, who used to live in Happy Valley and was a steady regular for breakfast (she had a sausage preserved veggie rice noodle soup).
Then there's Chuk Yuen on Wong Nai Chung Rd, cheese baked lobster and some dish made with durian.
My uncle took my aunt on their first date to Amigo....shows how old that restaurant is. I thought it was a Mexican place!
re: Charles Yu
Come to think of it 1983 seems to be operating something similarly along the lines of 駿景軒 Golden Valley (also in Happy Valley)....not too long ago Ah So was also debating the merits of this restaurant, claiming to have the best ha gow in town (maybe only for her). But in looking at internet reviews they praise the dan dan noodles and some of the other Sichuanese dishes.
These places even if ok by local standards, are definitely a far cry (and steps ahead) of Chinese restaurants in California (North and South) that try to do a medley of Cantonese and regional Chinese to cater to the Mandarin speakers, but miss the mark by Canto expat standards.
re: Charles Yu
There's a good Thai-style (meaning de-boned) Hainan Chicken rice place that we've taken out from several times. It's worth a shot next time you're in the area.
re: klyeoh
We ate at Amigo last night. It is really a flashback to a different age and quite wonderful because of it. Founded in 1967 its still going strong and was packed with diners celebrating birthdays. Food is served by white gloved waiters, dishes arrive on trolleys, crepes suzettes are flamed table side, and the wandering band serenade your table (they did a very credible version of the Gangman Style).
The food is fine, not great but perfect in its context. The set menu for four courses is about HK$890 and the ALC isn't too bad. And the wine list at first seems totally over the top with early pages in the HK$150,000 range, but after wading through the tome we found a good, slightly aged, Languedoc at $350 and some fine Rioja at HK$400. Wine that is cheaper and far better quality than most other places in HK.
Its a great fun restaurant - totally wrong for the gourmet visitor chasing authenticity - but perfect for someone who loves something different and want to experience something that probably won't be around for ever and once its gone won't be repeated.
re: Uncle Yabai
@ PhilD and Uncle Yabai
For nostalgia, have you both tried ' Jimmy's Kitchen ' at Wyndham Street Central? Good old classic dishes like Prawn cocktail, Oxtail soup with Barley, Chicken Kiev, Steak and Kidney pie, Steak Diane, English Trifle...etc
Sounds very interesting and makes me salviating. I wish I was already there and not only going at the end of next week.
wow great pics and looks great although sounds weird since its like jack of all trade, but man that does look good
re: Hot Chocolate
Haven't been there for years! So, its still good?! Nice to know. Any 'must order' dishes?!
re: Charles Yu
honestly I only ever get the Hot Pot. Though I've been meaning to try some of their regular dishes...

Shopping For A Good Cause
In today's economic state, there are always excuses to be made for wanting to go shopping. Though the people around us may have minor concerns about our spending habits, their judgment isn't really what bothers us; it's our own. We can all feel a bit embarrassed for spending money on things we don't really need. Luckily, there are a few ways to avoid, or at the very least ease, the shame or guilty associated with frivolous spending. Consider investing your hard earned money into products that donate a portion of their sales to charitable causes. That way, a little splurging feels, not only harmless but also quite helpful.
MAC Cosmetics
The MAC AIDS Fund has been around since 1994, donating money to support services and programs that help to prevent HIV and AIDS. The VIVA GLAM campaign associated with the MAC AIDS Fund promotes a line of lip care products through the help of celebrities. Famous spokespeople endorsing the campaign have included Mary J. Blige, Lil' Kim, Elton John and more recently, Ricky Martin and Nicky Minaj. MAC donates 100% of the money made from the VIVA GLAM lip line to assist in HIV and AIDS prevention.

Prime Service Areas are geographic areas where TRICARE Prime is offered.
These PSAs were created to ensure the medical readiness of the active duty force by augmenting the capability of military hospitals and clinics.
Effective Oct. 1, 2013, TRICARE Prime will no longer be available to beneficiaries living in certain areas of the United States that are not in close proximity and have never augmented care around military hospitals or clinics.
This change will not impact any beneficiaries enrolled to the 412th Medical Group, but could impact those that move to an area where the PSA is being eliminated. This change will not affect Active Duty or Guard/Reserve personnel activated for greater than 30 days as they are covered under TRICARE Prime Remote if they are stationed at a location outside of a PSA.
Active Duty Family Members residing in a PSA that is being eliminated will remain in Prime until they move outside the eliminated PSA or lose TRICARE eligibility. Those moving into an eliminated PSA prior to Oct. 1, 2013, can transfer their Prime enrollment and maintain their same coverage as long as they remain eligible. No 'new' enrollments to the eliminated PSAs are allowed after March 31, 2013.
Other Prime enrollees (retirees, retiree family members, survivors, TRICARE Young Adult, etc.) residing in an eliminated PSA will no longer be eligible for Prime and will be notified by TRICARE of the options available to them.
All beneficiaries in the affected PSAs will be notified by TRICARE of the impending changes by the end of February. For any questions concerning PSA changes, please contact Managed Care at (661) 277-6969 or visit www.tricare.mil.

Shipping Container Rainforest Home Survives Category 5 Cyclone
Earth Science Australia's team built the rainforest research center using two 6m (20′) containers placed 3m (10′) apart. Leaving a space between the containers allows for a semi-enclosed area for storage, hanging out or doing research. There is a total of 30sqm of dry sleeping area, 15sqm of mostly dry cooking area and 45sqm of covered outdoor area. Believe it or not, the entire project, including the containers, trucking the containers some 500km, screening in the cargo doors, steel, cement, sand and gravel, nuts, bolts, carports, C-section, screens, timber, decking oil and painting cost only $16,000 AUS.
Despite being located in a dense rainforest that gets heavy rain on the regular, the research center stays dry as a bone inside (well maybe not that dry, but you know what we mean). But when Cyclone Larry swept through the area, the center was really put to the test. While the overhead canopy that shaded the rooftop sitting area was crushed by huge falling branches, the resilient containers escaped unharmed – yet another example of shipping container architecture impressing us with its versatility and durability.

If you are considering modular or prefab home, or looking for an alternative to high cost construction, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at. There are many considerations that have contributed to the appeal of building with intermodal shipping containers – availability, standardization, the recycled/green factor, economy and speed of construction, their durability, and even their "elegance/grace".
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are considering a design build project.

In response to frog3d, check out http://www.shippingcontainerforum.com for more info on building with containers. We're trying to create an online community of people who have or are planning to modify and repurpose shipping containers for other uses. I'm going to post a link to this article on there now…
October 25, 2010 at 10:07 am
@frog3d We've build homes out of shipping containers. Not as daunting as it seems. We've got alot of free info / instructions on our blog. May be a good resource for you.
October 21, 2010 at 12:18 pm
I'd like to do some building with shipping containers, but it's rather daunting. Is there anything on the internet by people who have used them, with some sort of instructions?

Looking into a Volcano at Mt Bromo
Posted on : 29 November 2012
Categories : Hiking, Trekking, and Eco
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to look inside of a volcano? At Indonesia's Mt. Bromo, you can see for yourself.
The journey begins in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, in the far east of Java. We arrived at our hotel the day before and rested up for a middle-of-the-night departure for sunrise.
After sunrise we took jeeps across the sand sea and hiked up Mt. Bromo. Here, some chose to ride horses up the volcano side. The hike wasn't difficult—but it was uncomfortable. Throughout the 45-minute climb, winds whipped up fine sand and minerals into our face and the corners of our eyes.
The last section is too steep for horses and must be climbed by foot. At the top is the big moment when you get to peer inside an active volcano.
So what does it look like inside a volcano?
Well, for starters, it smells bad. All the gases are rising out and stinging the inside of your nose when you breathe in. You'll be breathing through your nose because like I said, there is dust whipping up that you won't want to breathe into your mouth. It's also quite difficult to protect your eyes.
The insides were a steep pitch to the bottom of the volcano. All we could see were clouds of gas seeping out. But we were looking inside of a volcano!
Sunrise over Mt. Bromo Indonesia
Before all of this, you can see the sunrise illuminating Mt. Bromo. But you have to get up at about 3:30 in the morning.
That's when we piled into the jeeps and rode through the darkness for a few miles up the mountain.
At the end of the road we were in the company of plenty of other intrepid souls doing the same exact thing. We were all here for sunrise over Mt. Bromo and the astonishing landscape panorama of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The area, located in eastern Java was declared a national park in 1982 and is one of the highlights of any trip to Indonesia.
The viewpoint for sunrise, high above the caldera, required a 20-minute hike up, where we waited a few minutes, all looking towards the east. But the real display of beauty would be in the opposite direction.
Here the sand sea, Mt. Bromo, and the rest of this ancient caldera would be irradiated by the orange rays of the sun. It is a landscape comparable only to the surface of the moon. Inside this gigantic former volcano, five new volcano cones have emerged.� To the right of Bromo, in the foreground, stands Mount Batok, the only one which is no longer active.
In the background looms the massive Mount Semeru, rising to 3,676 meters, the highest mountain in Java. You can often see a puff of steam escaping out the top.
Below it all, the Tengger sandy area (sand sea) has been protected since 1919 and is thought to be the only conservation area in the world which possesses a unique sand sea at such a high altitude, about 2000 meters above sea level.
Climbing the volcano at Mt. Bromo is only one of the many amazing outdoor activities that a trip to Indonesia offers. The images of the lunar-like caldera landscape at sunrise and the moment I peered into an active volcano are ones that will remain with me always.
