5 Ingenious Contraptions Built Out of Nothing But Garbage
Most of us aren't all that resourceful. If the futon we bought from IKEA is missing one of the tiny screws from the manual, we dial the 800 number and wait for them to ship it to us. But there are people who have built incredible solutions to some of life's most basic problems using stuff that you've thrown out because you thought it was useless. Here are five people who prove that calling anything else useless might be the most hypocritical thing you've ever said ...
#5. Transportation
Don't have the money for a bitchin' ride but live in the former USSR? No problem; you most likely have some sort of innate ability to turn garbage into mobile gold.
If there's one thing we learned from Napoleon and Hitler, it's that Russia is nothing but a hellish frozen landscape. It makes sense then that one of the Russian people's main pastimes is taking random junk and turning it into snowmobiles.
That unnamed retiree is dominating Mother Nature in his homemade snowmobile composed of old motorcycle parts, a carousel seat and even an old novelty coke bottle. The awesomely effective machine cost barely anything and took him less than a year to build. He's far from the only Russian to use garbage to kick the tundra's ass. Ever wonder what happened to that weightlifting bench Chuck Norris tricked you into buying, and everything else on TV tricked you into throwing out without ever using?
Why, a Russian built a snowmobile out of it, not to mention that inner tube you forgot to tie down while driving down the highway.
They even built snowmobiles using nothing but children's nightmares.
Snowmobiles are impressive and all, but what about Russia's many aspiring oligarchs? A Russian man living in Kazakhstan managed to build an entire Rolls Royce Phantom out of an old Mercedes, plaster and fiber glass. He spent a whopping $3,000 making a perfect replica of a $380,000 car. The only actual Rolls part was the emblem.
We be big pimpin' up in Nav-olo-ki.
Of course, snowmobiles and Rolls Royces are all things that you can buy if you have enough money. You'd think the same could be said for the man who took it upon himself to build a homemade Hummer. Again, using just scrap materials he managed to put together a vehicle that worked just as well as the original. Then he made it better. Check it out in action:
No we didn't include a picture from our tragic team vacation to the lake. That's the Garbage Hummer up there. You just can't see it because it is driving under freaking water.
Did we mention it can also drive through fire? Because it can also drive through fire. This may be the most badass car ever made, period, let alone one made out of garbage.
Your mom's to the right, hidden by foliage.
#4. An Island
If you won the lotto, you'd probably take some kind of tropical vacation. If you won a lot, you might consider buying some beach-front property in the Caribbean or, following in the footsteps of Mel Gibson, buy a whole island just for yourself. Or you could simply use your newfound wealth to get you high enough to get the idea to build your own island, and keep you high enough to not realize how insane that idea was until it was done.
"We were 30 minutes into Waterworld, you passed me the bong, and that's the last thing I remember."
Meet, Raishee Sowa, a "carpenter, artist and musician," (aka serious hippie) who built an entire island off the coast of Mexico. Called Spiral Island, it was roughly the size of a basketball court and featured a two-story house, oven and washing machine. The whole island floated thanks to 250,000 plastic bottles. Sowa started out collecting bottles off the beach to trade in for cash and eventually thought what any rational human would in that situation: "I bet I could build a totally awesome self-sustaining island out of these."
Coincidently, Mexico had legalized marijuana earlier that year.
The Mexican government even recognized the island as part of the country and encouraged tourists to visit. But Sowa didn't want to be tied down in Mexico--in fact, he didn't want to be tied down ANYWHERE. The island also had its own steering system and his ultimate goal was to pilot his private island around the world, claiming it as a sovereign nation.
You might have noticed the use of the past tense. See, God doesn't appreciate it when you build something that took Him billions of years to make over the course of a stoned year and a half. Particularly when you decide to make it out of garbage, just to make sure He gets the whole "this is an affront to You" message loud and clear.
Sowa rips the nastiest guitar solo he's ever heard.
And so, in His infinite wisdom, He sent a hurricane to destroy Spiral Island. Sowa, not one to give up his dream of a tennis court-sized nation of hippies and waterfowl, immediately built another one.
#3. A Smart House
OK sure, there are lots of houses made out of garbage. But those artists and architects are almost always using discarded building supplies to prove an environmental point. No matter what that creepy dude going through your garbage tells you, you would need just insane amounts of garbage to build something useful. Like 19 years worth. That's how long it took Tito Ingenieri to accumulate six million beer bottles. For the just under two decades that it took him to build up his collection, the folks living in his Argentinian town probably assumed Ingenieri was collecting bottles either because that appears to be every homeless guy's favorite pastime, or because he was too drunk to understand the dynamics of getting hammered.
To be fair to his neighbors, this is Tito Ingenieri:
"That's when I noticed I was always drunker when there were lots of empty bottles around."
Instead Tito built a house. Not content to simply make every beer can pyramid you built in college look like an (even more) embarrassing waste of time, he built a home for himself that was smarter than every house you've ever lived in.
Suck it, frat boys.
Before American college students try to solve their looming housing and drinking problems in one coma inducing step, we should tell you that Tito didn't drink all those beers. Instead, he noticed that many of the bottles he was gathering from the streets and bars of Quilmes, Argentina couldn't be redeemed for cash. Treating the town's alcohol consumption like Native Americans treated buffalo, he saved the non-refundable ones, and used the ones that were worth money to purchase building supplies he needed to turn the worthless ones into a concrete and glass fortress. Not a single one of the six million bottles he built his house out of is worth a single penny. He wouldn't want to seem, you know, wasteful.
Oh, and hubcaps. Mustn't forget the hubcaps.
As for the smart part, Tito built the house so that the southern winds make the bottles whistle, which gives him the heads up when the river is rising. And because his house didn't really have an environmentally friendly feel just yet, he also built sculptures out of trash to decorate the inside.
Despite all this awesomeness two questions remain unanswered:
1) Look at the floor. Why is a guy from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea watching you poop?
2) Is that the most inconveniently placed toilet paper holder, or do Argentinians mount their toilets backwards?

What is the best way to translate the mathematical term ''intertwiner'' (between two representations of a group) into German?
Excuse me if mine is a very low-brow approach.
Let us look at the English Wikipedia page Equivariant Maps (cf. here), where there is the definition of Interwiners, as a special kind of equivariant maps.
I hope it helps. Bye.
Edit Added because the OP need not only tranlations but references to actual usage.
My old Technik-Wörterbuch (1982) directs me from intertwine to interlace, which it translates by verschlingen (Verschlingung, verschlungener Zyklus), which I think sounds right. These words are marked as topological terms, though, so you will have to consider if they are suitable in an algebraic context.
The link http://mathoverflow.net/questions/46061/what-is-the-german-translation-for-intertwiner provided by Nick Kidman was quite useful. I found two old German papers by authorities in group theory
Edit: p.273 of arXiv:hep-th/9805093v1 explicitly says '' intertwiners ("Verketter" in the sense of Schur)'', and Schur was probably the first one to use the concept at all. Indeed, in his paper ''Beiträge zur Theorie der Gruppen linearer homogener Substitutionen'' Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 10 (1909), 159--175. http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/1988680 , Schur uses in this context the adjective ''verkettet'', but not the substantive.

Deeds of the Disturber: An Amelia Peabody Novel of Suspense (Mass Market Paperbound)
Can fear kill? There are those who believe so--but Amelia Peabody is skeptical. A respected Egyptologist and amateur sleuth, Amelia has foiled felonious schemes from Victoria's England to the Middle East. And she doubts that it was a Nineteenth-Dynasty mummy's curse that caused the death of a night watchman in the British Museum. The corpse was found sprawled in the mummy's shadow, a look of terror frozen on the guard's face. What--or who--killed the unfortunate man is a mystery that seems too intriguingly delicious for Amelia to pass up, especially now that she, her dashing archaeologist husband, Emerson, and their precocious son, Ramses, are back on Britain's shores. But a contemporary curse can be as lethal as one centuries old--and the foggy London thoroughfares can be as treacherous as the narrow, twisting alleyways of Cairo after dark--when a perpetrator of evil deeds sets his murderous sights on his relentless pursuer . . . Amelia Peabody.

Once you gaze out over the sparkling waters of Crane Beach at the never-ending vista of blues, it becomes obvious why Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous declared Crane Beach "One of the 10 Best Beaches in the World".
For centuries, Crane Beach has been sought by both locals and visitors for its natural beauty and serenity. Pink, powder soft sand graces your feet, a lush coconut grove sways in the tropical breeze and a golden Caribbean sun help to make this the ultimate paradise for individuals, families and couples.
The there is the swimming - Accessible by a staircase or a glass-front beach elevator (the only one of its kind in the Eastern Caribbean) and protected by a natural coral reef, Crane Beach boasts one of the best swimming venues on the island of Barbados. Besides being safe and having a gentle descent from shallow to deep, it's also soft on your feet as there are no sea urchins, stones or coral underneath.
Crane Beach's playful waves are perfect for boogie boarding and body surfing. The Crane is #1 for Barbados travel.
In the 18th century it was considered improper for ladies to be seen bathing in public. Sea bathing, however, had become so popular that by 1769 at least one discreet bathing place had been constructed near The Crane. It was referred to as the "Horse" and was approached by steps cut into the sea cliff. The stairs to the "horse" can still be seen descending from the far side of the south of The Crane, much as they were in 1769.

The 7 Most Questionable 'Haunted' Items on eBay
#3. "HAUNTED DOLL Maka Sioux Indian Princess Earth COA EMFs EVps COA Wants a Home"
There are a lot of people tossing around the word "haunted" on eBay. So many that if you actually want YOUR haunted item to get noticed, you have to convince people that it's really, really haunted. Like, more haunted than any of the other search results.
This one, we are assured, "has been tested GRADE A by the American Paranormal Research Society," which apparently is a thing. They even have their own website. On Freewebs.
Of course, we don't have any context to discern what a GRADE A ghost rating actually means, whether it's a measure of ghost quality or quantity or anything else. We're just assured that "the power in these items may never be come your way again!!!"
Red on red. That's how you draw eyeballs.
It's not enough that a Ouija board can talk to ghosts or whatever, but this one has to actually be haunted, too. How does that work?
Oh, and also, the ghosts are elves.
Nothing says "reputable broker of unholy artifacts" like continuously blinking stars.
After using the board for a few months, the sellers recount that something called "Ailfrid" started talking to them and claiming to be a clan of elves. Of course they were skeptical, so they looked it up, and sure enough, "Ailfrid" means "Elf Counsel" in Gaelic. Proof!
They even have a photograph. That blue circle that they've used as the auction image is apparently what a bona fide elf ghost looks like. And if you're ever worried about buying something like this based on a bunch of hearsay, they assure us that they never place an item up for auction unless they believe it to be truly haunted.
"We guarantee just oodles of Irish elf ghosts, or your money back!"
#1. "HAUNTED WEIRD BIZARRE ORIG. 1980's BILL GRIFFITH MIP CLOWN ZIPPY PINHEAD DOLL"
Don't be fooled by absolutely every inch of this ridiculous looking thing. Zippy the clown doll is, to quote the auctioneer, the "WORST EVIL IMAGINABLE." Actually, we can kind of believe that.
Zippy was found abandoned in a Santa Barbara hotel room, and the auctioneer and her boyfriend thought it would make a good souvenir. Because nothing says "sunny California" like a gourd-headed snarling clown prop.
True evil never indents.
After their car started acting up, they made the reasonable decision to visit a psychic ... you know, just in case their car trouble was caused by ghosts or something. Lo and behold, the psychic informed them that their Zippy doll was afflicted by "PURE EVILNESS, WRETCHED CURSED HEX."
It sure doesn't sound like something we'd want to willingly fork out the 66 bucks they're asking for it. But the evil Zippy doll comes with a failsafe: That plastic bag it's wrapped in.
Let's see the powers of hell get through that.
Yes, according to the seller, the plastic bag is the only thing stopping Zippy from wreaking all kinds of Child's Play-style murderous havoc, because wretched cursed hexes are notoriously thwarted only by a quarter of a millimeter of cellophane.

Ohio Valley Mall not happy with court fight
October 7, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – The Ohio Valley Mall Company is not happy with having to wage a fight in court over a leasing issue with the owners of Osaka Japanese Restaurant....
In answer to Cotton, there are 2 McDonald's. One is in the Mall perimeter and the other is in WalMart. Both are surviving. Count the Subways in a 3 mile radius. All are surviving. A little competition is good, upping the ante, so to speak. The food will get better, the service will get better. The consumer will benefit because the sole business doesn't just rest on their laurels because they are the only game in town.

Close them BOTH up and bring in a NUDIST COLONY.

All I know is they need to get a Gander Mountain or Bass Pro Shop or REI over there..

Defamation: The action of damaging the good reputation of someone. In this particular case would be the Mall as they claim. Huh! I didn't realize that they had such a high regard for themselves. It's a wonder they don't cry defamation to the Highlands in Triadelphia. Furthermore, Osaka does offer take-out & another restaurant in the area will effect their business. And BunnyHuny, would you be support 2 or 3 McDonalds in the immediate area & expect all of them to survive? Remember the Mall HAD 2 Starbucks & only 1 survived. In closing, if the Mall could flood the area with 5 Chinese Restaurants they would probably do it.

The cuisine is what Osaka is disputing. If the stipulation expired upon renewal then it is game over for Osaka. What responsible landlord would allow an exclusive category like this in perpetuity?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Really?? This is like comparing apples to oranges, pardon the cliche. They are two totally different types of restaurants. The only thing they have in common is the cuisine. Osaka is supposed to be an upper class sit-down hibachi style restaurant while Panda is more of a call-in/takeout. This lawsuit is frivolous and ridiculous. Sounds to me like the owners of Osaka are trying to find a way to get out of their lease.
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
On the surface it looks like Osaka loses. Even if they do, there's a big difference between foot traffic coming in the mall and vehicular traffic going to Panda. Osaka's attorney isn't helping his client by throwing gas on the fire.

ANDERSON, S.C. – Looking to erase its slow start to the season as it heads into the heart of South Atlantic Conference play, Anderson University women's tennis welcomes Mars Hill to the Upstate on Saturday. First serve from the Max Grubbs Memorial Courts is scheduled for 1 p.m.
The Trojans
After AU's comeback bid against Tusculum fell just short last weekend, claiming four singles matches, the Trojans suffered their second conference loss of the season and moved to 1-4 for the season. With a 1-2 mark in SAC play, Anderson sits alone in sixth-place in the league standings as two conference teams has yet to play a league match this season.
Despite the slow start to the season, junior Karen Ching has made the most of her opportunity moving to the No. 1 singles position. Ching is a perfect 4-0 at the No. 1 spot, winning all of her matches in straight sets. On the doubles side, Ching and senior Avery Owens have gotten off to a rough start and are just 2-3 for the year. Last season, the tandem finished 12-3 including a 6-1 mark in the league.
Also shining in the singles round is freshman Rebecca Bruning and sophomore Alexandra Ebner with three wins apiece on the young season.
The Lions
With the combination of the fall season, Mars Hill is 3-4 for the 2013-14 year and winners of two of its last three matches. The Lions are coming off a 7-2 win at King on Tuesday, while splitting their first SAC matches with a 5-4 win over Catawba on Feb. 21 and 7-2 setback to Queens last Sunday. With the even 1-1 SAC record, MHU is fifth in the league standings.
Mars Hill returns Preseason Second-Team honoree Tatiana Dualiby as she enters the weekend with a 5-2 record for the 2013-14 season. Dualiby opened the 2014 spring season with a three-set loss to UNC Asheville's Zoe Hamel (6-4, 1-6, 0-1) for her lone three-set setback of the season. Most recently, the senior posted a 6-3, 6-3 win over King's Katya Cerny.
Joining Dualiby with five singles wins on the year is Anna Rickenbaker who has captured her last three matches, including straight-set wins over Catawba's Sloan Kessley and Queens' Melissa Laing. Rickenbaker, who is projected to play at the No. 2 position this weekend, posted the Lions' only point against the Trojans a season ago with a straight-set win at No. 3.
The Series
Since joining the SAC prior to the 2011 spring season, Anderson is a perfect 3-0 against Mars Hill in its matchups during the regular season. The most points MHU has scored on the Trojans was three in 2012.

Does this version have the chicken getting it's head cut off?
"Does this version have the chicken getting it's head cut off?"
You mean the head chopping that everyone wishes in zelda games?
The remake is 3.99. The Gene Wilder original is 14.99
@sawaman: Nope! Check the cast/description/artwork, etc - it's $3.99 for the DVD of the Gene Wilder original.
I'm trying to avoid DVD in my switch to BD everywhere.

STILLWATER, Okla. – The sixth inning of Baylor's Big 12 season opener proved to be pivotal as the Bears (10-13, 0-1) fell to Oklahoma State (19-3, 1-0) on Friday afternoon at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
The game was a pitcher's duel until the sixth as BU's Dillon Newman allowed just two base runners through five and OSU's Jason Hursh allowed five with five strikeouts. Baylor's sixth started off with a Nathan Orf single and Cal Towey double. A promising start quickly turned into nothing as Duncan Wendel grounded out to third on the first pitch, Adam Toth went down looking and Steve DalPorto grounded back to Hursh.
In OSU's half of the sixth, a one-out HBP by Gage Green and two-out single by Tanner Krietemeier gave the Cowboys their best scoring chance. With cleanup hitter Zach Fish up, he smashed a ball over the opposite field right field fence for three runs.
"We had some chances but we didn't do a good job when we had them," said BU Head Coach Steve Smith as Baylor left nine on base to OSU's three. "Some of that you have to give credit to their guy. I thought he pitched pretty well, as did Dillon. The only real difference in the game was that pitch Fish hit to right field. It was a mistake fastball and Fish stayed on top of it. On a day like today with the way we were offensively, that's all they needed."
The Bears then went down in order in the seventh and OSU added two more runs on a squeeze bunt and wild pitch to widen the gap. BU threatened with two singles in the ninth, but again, did not get the clutch hit needed to score and keep the game alive.
Even though he was strong through five, Newman gave up more than three runs for the first time all season in his six starts. The five runs came on six hits and the HBP as he had four strikeouts in seven innings, taking his first loss (3-1).
"The stat line doesn't do what Dillon did and how he pitched justice, but that's how the game is," Smith said. "It could've been a different story for him as well but we didn't get any runs in."
Hursh earned the win (3-0) after throwing eight shutout innings while allowing five hits and a walk with eight strikeouts.
The teams continue their Big 12 opening series tomorrow at 12 p.m. CT and Sunday at 1 p.m. Saturday's pitching matchup features BU RHP Max Garner (1-3, 3.18 ERA) against OSU RHP Mark Robinette (1-0, 4.05 ERA) while Sunday's starters are TBA.

text: The first lesson of the day will be one a couple of wolves. A lot of people liked the tutorial on fighting cats, and even requested that I make a similar lesson on "how to draw fighting wolves", step by step. Of course the idea requested was super cool, and because of this I obviously went ahead and made the idea a lesson. At first I wasn't sure what type of fight scene or position that I wanted the wolves to be in, but then I thought that it would probably be best if I just made them in the same fighting style that the cats where in. The tutorial will be a bit more difficult to follow then the cats because they are wolves. As you know drawing wolves can be a tricky task to tackle because they have so much definition with their bodies and faces. Nonetheless, I still believe that you will do a fantastic job even if you're a novice artist trying this lesson on for size. I hope that you enjoy drawing fighting wolves as much as I did creating the concept. I shall return in a few with more fun stuff for you guys to do so stay tuned in. Adios peeps!

Delicious gluten free options! Pasta was great. All of the Lettuce Entertain You do an amazing job with gluten free.
Very understanding about gluten allergies. If you tell your waiter you can't have gluten, the chef will come out and talk to you personally about your allergy, and discuss your options on the menu with you. I had the gf penne, which is corn based. It was very good, when it had absorbed enough sauce, otherwise it can be crunchy. They even do the dinner today, dinner tomorrow deal with gf pasta, so you can take some leftovers too.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120

In the first few minutes our waiter asked if there were any allergies or dietary needs at our table. Moments later the chef came out and took our order.

Great experience for our family!
2500 N Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa, WI 53226-1409
As someone newly-diagnosed with celiac, I had a wonderful experience at Maggiano's. I was impressed that the servers immediately ask about food allergies. The chef came and spoke with us, then gave us his card, welcoming us to call him with any questions in the future. I was still able to order my favorite dish and found it delicious prepared GF. I was also impressed that our server offered me their GF dessert options. A great experience for someone new to all of this.

Had two takeaways from Maggiano's while on holiday in Orlando. They have gluten free penne which they can substitute in on most dishes. The barmaid, Sara, who took our order was very knowledgeable, and even remembered me and my gluten intolerance when my girlfriend went there alone the second time we ordered a takeaway!

4400 Sharon Rd, Charlotte, NC 28211
What a great place! The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac -- even asked if I have celiac or gluten intolerance! The Executive Chef came out and talked to me himself, making some recommendations for my meal, as well as assuring me he would be preparing my.meal himself to make sure I was safe. A little pricy, and definitely a "dining" experience (2.5 hours for dinner). Very, very good. Could not recommend more highly for a great meal!
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
Wow, very attentive staff! The executive chef came out to take my order. They have GF chips they bring out at the same time as the complimentary bread for the others. Usually I stare longingly during this part of the meal but the chips were a lovely distraction. Maggiano's also also has lots of GF options and a delicious GF pasta.
3368 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326-1008
Chef George came out and personally assured me he could make me whatever I wanted and also explained the "lighter offerings" menu too. He said he could do bruschetta on zucchini, had a good pasta and he omitted croutons from salad. Everything was excellent he came back out to check on us and I truly dined with confidence.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
Wow! This place is great, cool atmosphere. My first time to go to an Italian place since diagnosed 3 years ago. The chef came out to talk to me about gluten free and explained my options and how they prepare it. I had the GF pasta rigatoni D, which was delicious! My husband got the GF lobster carbonara which was super amazing. My daughter got chicks size GF pasta with Alfredo sauce and said it was the best pasta she's ever had! No reaction to the food and our waitress was great!!
390 Hackensack Ave, Spc 70, Hackensack, NJ 07601-6310
We ate here for the second time after a great first experience. Tonight there was an issue with my GF pasta dish being overly salted so our server, Brendan, took it back and had another made. Unfortunately that was also so salty I couldn't eat it. The manager, Jeff, was so wonderful. He apologized and had the dish removed from the check. Unbeknownst to me, Jeff spent several minutes in the kitchen tasting each ingredient in the dish to find the source of the problem. Jeff surprised me with a third entree which was perfect. Jeff and Brendan went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. It is difficult to eat out as a Celiac. Finding a restaurant that accommodates my needs is always greatly appreciated, but what Jeff did to make sure I had a great experience went above and beyond. The Maggianos organization should be proud to have him as a manger.
3368 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326-1008
They serve multiple pasta dishes that are gluten free. I told my waiter about my food allergies & he had the Chef come speak with me. They definitely take gluten issues seriously and are very accommodating.
17603 IH 10W, San Antonio, TX 78257
The food here was so DELICIOUS! I do give an A for effort. The wait staff was wonderful. The sous chef did come to the table, assured that best effort would be made to avoid gluten and made me a special dish using the gluten free pasta. However, tonight I am sick as a dog. Something just didn't go as expected and I'm glad that the food was good so that way it makes it a little worth the sickness. I'm in so much pain right now and this will take a while to get over. *GLUTENED* to the max!
1601 Cumberland Mall SE, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30339-3162
Manager (Shanna) had outstanding command of the menu and what could be made GF. Unbelievable Spinach Salad appetizer w/ bacon, roasted peppers, pine nuts, and vinegarette dressing. GF Chicken Saltimbuca made with BAKED Bacon. Great GF pasta (corn based) with a hearty meat sauce. Place is busy but management is top notch. A great GF family experience.
1601 Cumberland Mall SE, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30339-3162
Had dinner there for the first time last night after the #gfafexpo. This was by far the best customer service and care we have gotten at a restaurant since being diagnosed with celiac. Also want to thank the manager Shanna Green she was amazing!!! Will definitely be coming back here when in town.
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
Upon hearing celiac, the server brought the chef to the table to discuss options. The chef was very helpful when discussing options, and brought the salads and entrées to the table himself. Their corn/rice based pasta was delicious, as was the creme brûlée. This was one of our best dining experiences. We'll definitely be back.
#2 The Boulevard Saint Louis, Richmond Heights, MO 63117-1122
They used to have INCREDIBLE gluten free bread, but when I was there last month, the rolls were different; they were dry and fell apart when trying to eat them. It was still a nice experience, but I was disappointed that they down-graded their bread.
203 Westshore Plz, Tampa, FL 33609-1810
Our waitress was phenomenal! They offer gluten free pasta and all the sauces are gluten free so there are a ton of options. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the mood for a great Italian meal!
203 Westshore Plz, Tampa, FL 33609-1810
Had a great experience! As soon as I told them the waiter went and got the kitchen manager to make sure nothing got lost in translation for my restrictions. Rigatoni D pasta with gluten free pasta cooked in separate pasta water. They were great!
600 Commons Way, Bldg. E, Bridgewater, NJ 08807-2806
There was no gluten free menu, but I was able to talk to the chef and ordered gluten free penne with alfredo sauce. It was very delicious, and the service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend it
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
5 stars for attentiveness of staff. The chef came out to talk to me personally. Not a ton of options but food was good and I felt safe eating there.
600 Commons Way, Bldg. E, Bridgewater, NJ 08807-2806
Great place! Highly recommended!
160 N. Gulph Road, Suite 205, King of Prussia, PA 19406
I have been to Maggiano's across the country and love them. The one here in King of Prussia, PA, was horrible. Not so much from a GF perspective but in general. This is the first one that the Chef did not come out to talk to me about my GF order, Red Flag #1. The rest of my review is about general restaurant presentation and cleanliness. The bread plates were very oily and didn't appear to have be washed from previous usage. The wine glasses did not look clean with one having lipstick on it. One person in our group ordered beer and it was flat, just like a previous visit for him a coupe months before. The service was horrible. Granted they claimed there was a 40 person party on the deck but then they should have gotten help from restaurant wait staff for the bar where we were. We had to ask for the flat beer at least 6 times and my green beans twice before they were brought to the table. My bean arrived after I was done eating my entre. This place was horrible and its cleanliness is questionable. Maggiano's is good but not this one. Don't go to KOP for this restaurant.
1201 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107-2818
Both times I ordered to go and got the wrong meal. They gave me the wrong sauce and forgot to add the grilled chicken both times. The pasta was good and I had no reaction, but very very salty. Probably won't go back
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Very helpful. All sauces and salad dressings are GF. Tasty GF pasta.
307 Hawthorn Center, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
I have Celiac Disease & as soon as I notified my waiter, he sent the Chef out to our table & he personally took my order. Assuring me that they use proper cooking techniques & that all of the pasta sauces are made without any gluten containing ingredients. I was impressed by that! The gluten free penne was cooked perfectly & the Alfredo sauce was delicious. & I didn't get glutened! The only reason I gave them 4 stars was because the service otherwise was just so-so & the chicken was very dry. However, I'm glad I found a pasta place that caters to dietary restrictions!
6001 W. Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093-4301
I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and I have been finding it difficult to find foods that I previously enjoyed gluten free. When I mentioned to the waiter that I had a gluten allergy the chef personally came out to my table and told me all the different options they can do. He was able to take a pasta dish I previously loved and make it 100% gluten free and it was absolutely delicious. I wasn't even able to tell the difference between the regular noodles and the gluten free ones! Maggianos is differently celiac friendly!
160 N. Gulph Road, Suite 205, King of Prussia, PA 19406
the waitress brought the chef over and we talked about the options and he assured me everything would be handled separately so I was hopeful. Unfortunately when we got our food it our GF pasta was mixed with wheat pasta. the manager was very apologetic but that didn't help, damage done
1847 Freedom Drive, Naperville, IL 60563
Great GF Italian food in restaurant or to go. GF pasta and sauces are definitely some of the best I have ever had (they are so good that even non-allergic people will eat them and say they are good). I have eaten here multiple times and have never had a reaction. Highly recommended.
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
Food is delicious!! The chef comes out and actually talks with you. The chef made grilled eggplant Parmesan for me and it came with gluten free penne noodles. It has become my son's favorite place to get gluten free pasta.
2019 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX 77056-4401
Yummy!!! Good GF pasta and other options with no contamination! Great atmosphere and efficient take out as well.
160 N. Gulph Road, Suite 205, King of Prussia, PA 19406
Not gluten free friendly, sorry but I don't play Russian roulette with my intestines.
3106 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203-1304
Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered the gluten-free pasta. Chef Matt came to our table to let me know that he was taking extra care when preparing my dish, and asked if I had any questions. Food was wonderful and service was way above average. Can't wait to return.
2500 N Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa, WI 53226-1409
our waiter (Marquis?) was very knowledgeable. he recognized that the pasta wasn't gf based on the shape and fixed it right away. great training for the staff
8687 N Central Expy Ste 205, Suite 205, Dallas, TX 75225-4499
After confirming good cross contamination procedures, I ordered gluten free pasta. I found a strand of regular spaghetti in my gluten free rigatoni. They assured me it was a fluke and someone made a mistake, but buyer beware.
8030 Renaissance Parkway,, Suite 890, Durham, NC 27713
Best place to eat with food allergies, wonderful food and large portions. They make everything from scratch and the chef checks with you to make sure everything is correct as ordered.
2019 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX 77056-4401
This place is awesome. They are so accommodating. Very very nice people. The pasta is to die for!!!!! Don't know about these bad reviews. The chef always comes to our table & have had no problems.
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
Excellent service and server. They knew all about celiac and made every accommodation to make sure my dinner was safe. Viva Italia.
17603 IH 10W, San Antonio, TX 78257
I've been to this location multiple times in the past four to six months and never had an issue. The chef comes to the table to confirm gluten free options, the staff seems very aware overall, never been sick, and the food is delicious!
2100 Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, MD 21401
They retrained their staff on allergies. So now the manager personally takes your order and the chef comes out to speak with you as well! The food is also amazing! I had raviolis for the first time in years thanks to Maggianos and they were so yummy! We love it here!
10367 Midtown Parkway, St. Johns Town Center, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Received very good customer service. The Chef came to the table to take the gluten-fee order for our daughter who has celiacs disease. The waitress and staff were excellent and we had no issues with cross contamination.

I am reading a significant paper of Bourgain and Gamburd on "Uniform expansion bounds for Cayley graphs of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb{F}_p)$". They have proven a proposition which in their new papers they call it "$L^2$-Flattening Lemma" (Indeed this proposition says more). Let me state their proposition:
Suppose $v$ is a symmetric probability measure on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb{F}_p)$; that is $$ v(g)=v(g^{-1}), $$ satisfying the following three properties for fixed positive $\gamma$, $0<\gamma<3/4$:
$$ p^{-\frac{3}{2}+\gamma}<|| v ||_2 < p^{-\gamma}, $$ and for any proper subgroup $G_0$ we have
$$ v\ast v[G_0]:=\sum_{a\in G_0}v \ast v(a)< p^{-\gamma}. $$
Then for some $\epsilon=\epsilon(\gamma)> 0$, for all sufficiently large $p$: $$ ||v\ast v ||_2< p^{-\epsilon}||v||_2. $$
What is a motivation for this proposition? Why this proposition is called "Flattening Lemma"? Is it because of the $L^2$-norm of $v\ast v$ is smallet than the $L^2$-norm of $v$? Or it has another reason.
Thank you in advance.

The southernmost tip of Africa – just a few hours from Cape Town
Drive south from Cape Town, as far as you can go, and you will end up at the tip of the African continent in a town called L'Agulhas, where centuries ago shipwrecked sailors created a home for themselves. Their heritage is still alive in the area today.
It is also here that the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet in a wild, stormy confluence. The trip to L'Agulhas takes about two hours from Cape Town and it is well worth the drive.
For many years the meeting point of the two oceans created much debate, with some saying the meeting place was at Cape Point, the most south-westerly tip of Africa. But according to the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO), the meeting point is at L'Agulhas.
The IHO describes the western boundary of the Indian Ocean from the coast of the Antarctic continent northwards, along the meridian of 20°E to Cape Agulhas (34°50'S 20°00'E), the southern extremity of the Republic of South Africa.
Here you will find South Africa's second-oldest working lighthouse, built in 1848. You can climb the 71 steps to the top of the lighthouse and look out as far as the eye can see. Many ships sailing around the Cape, including the Arniston, were shipwrecked along this stormy coastline, and a few wrecks can still be seen today.
The southern end of Africa is marked by a cairn, situated about a kilometre away from the lighthouse.
There is also evidence of beach nomads, the Khoikhoi, who lived along the coastline for centuries before European sailors discovered the Cape. Over the years stone hearths, pottery and middens have been discovered.
The Khoikhoi heritage lives on, with people still using fish traps created by the Khoikhoi.
The area is also a good place to spot southern right whales and Cape clawless otters.
In 1999 Agulhas was declared a national park.

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee's Cuonzo Martin has established himself as a rising star in his profession during his first four years as a head coach, but he still hasn't led a team to the NCAA tournament.
The Volunteers expect that to change this season.
Tennessee opens practice Friday with six of the top seven scorers back from a team that went 19-15 overall and 10-6 in the Southeastern Conference last season. The Vols reached the NIT last year to end a string of six consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, but they're ready to start a new streak this season.
"What we expect of ourselves is to finish No. 1 and be the last team standing," senior forward Kenny Hall said. "That's pretty much it right there. We've definitely got the talent on the team, we've got the staff on the team, we've got a great strength and conditioning coach to prepare us and get us ready for the season. Now it's just time to put it all together. Once we get rolling, we're rolling."
In order to earn an NCAA bid, the Vols will have to avoid a repeat of the slow start that led to their absence from last year's field. Tennessee dropped six of its first nine games - including losses to Oakland and Austin Peay - before turning things around.
Tennessee opens the season Nov. 9 against Kennesaw State.
"We're just going to play every game like it's our last and let the chips fall where they may," junior guard Trae Golden said. "I think we learned last year that you have to be on your P's and Q's at the beginning of the year as well as at the end of the year. That's something we're going to make sure we do."
Part of the reason for that early slump was that the Vols were still adjusting to Martin, who brought his motion offense to Tennessee last season after a three-year stint at Missouri State. The Vols now are more comfortable with Martin and his system. They also grew closer during a summer tour of Italy.
"Not everyone on the team was close," sophomore forward Jarnell Stokes said. "Now I feel like we're coming together as a team. Italy helped that because we were around each other 10 days, 24-7. It forced us to become a team."
Another bonus is that Tennessee should have Stokes for an entire season. Stokes didn't join the team until midseason last year, but he averaged 9.6 points and 7.4 rebounds in 17 games. This summer, Stokes was the second-leading scorer and rebounder on the USA Basketball team that won the gold medal at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Brazil.
"This was a different team with the addition of Jarnell Stokes," Martin said. "Before Jarnell Stokes (last season), you had a team that was unproven, I don't think a team that played well together. Guys I think were playing for themselves, so to speak. I don't say that in a bad way. But the spotlight, the light's on them, (they're thinking), 'Man, I've got a chance to shine.' And the result is you're losing games because you don't understand how hard you have to play, what you have to do and what you have to sacrifice in order to be successful. But I think they grew as a team as the season went on.
"And then you also have an elite player in Jarnell Stokes. In order to compete at this level, you need two or three guys like that on your roster, in order to win big games."
The Vols might have that in Stokes and 6-foot-7 senior Jeronne Maymon, who averaged 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds last season to earn second-team all-SEC honors. Stokes, Maymon, Hall and sophomore center Yemi Makanjuola should give Tennessee one of the SEC's deepest and strongest frontcourts.
"We're very diverse," Maymon said. "I think we've got one of the best frontcourts in the country."
Tennessee's backcourt returns Golden, who led the Vols with 13.6 points per game and ranked fourth in the SEC with 4.5 assists per game last year. Senior guard Skylar McBee and junior guard Jordan McRae each started at least 12 games last season.
The Vols must take better care of the ball after averaging 13.7 turnovers per game last year. If they reduce that total, they shouldn't have to settle for the NIT this season.
"Our goal is the same as last year, to win the SEC," McRae said. "I think that's every team's goal in the SEC, to do that. I feel like this year, we're saying it with a lot more confidence than we were last year."

Douglas Riddle has a secret. Sometimes, when the workday reaches a frenetic pace, the president of Bittners slips away, walks the few blocks to the Louisville Ballet on East Main Street and stands silently in a corner of the studio, watching the dancers rehearse.
"It can be complete chaos, but if I watch them for ten minutes even, I return completely refreshed and inspired," Riddle said.
That transference of creativity is one of the many reasons he is such an ardent supporter of the ballet and was long before he joined the board of directors.
Bruce Simpson, artistic director of the Louisville Ballet, was initially struck by Riddle's "artistic sensitivity. … When I first started talking about Douglas coming on (the board), he said he wanted to be involved, intimately involved, and he wanted to examine how do we sustain a ballet company? I thought this was extraordinary."
Part of the answer is pragmatic, Riddle and Simpson decided. In order to present a world-class ballet company to the community, you have to attract and keep world-class talent, a feat that must include a commitment to raise the dancers' salaries.
Soon, the collaborative thought transpired into a brand-new event aptly titled, Raise The Barre.
The Oct. 27 soiree, which starts at 9:30 p.m., will be held at The Warehouse, 1237 S. 11th St., a facility that acts as a literal warehouse for the ballet company and stores 60 years of props and scenery. Riddle and Simpson are serving as artistic directors of the event, which is hosted by Marcia Guida James, Andy Vine, Meredith Bidner and Michelle Mudd. "It's going to be late, edgy and every single person who attends will be excited," said Simpson. "We can't give away too much, but it's really going to be spectacular."
Riddle and Simpson are both known and respected in their respective fields. Attendees can expect they'll pay the same attention to detail and delight in presenting the unexpected at Raise The Barre. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with the members of the Louisville Ballet.
"The world has changed. Dance has changed," said Simpson. "You have to pay attention to how the community has changed." Offering events that give people the opportunity to get up close 'n' personal with the creators of art is an important way to engage in interaction that will prove imperative and beneficial for years to come, he said.
"Mayor (Greg) Fischer is trying to get us all to ask the question, 'How do we move forward over the next 25 years?' At the Louisville Ballet, we're trying to figure that out. We have to," Simpson said. "The arts are an essential part of the fabric of our community."
Raise The Barre begins at 9:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at The Warehouse, 1237 11th St. Tickets are $200. Call 502.583.3150 ext. 232 to reserve yours. Guests are encouraged to wear cocktail chic attire.

Microsoft and Windows Azure Head to….the Home of "Middle Earth!"
Posted by Thiago Almeida - Technical Evangelist, Microsoft New Zealand
Spreading the good word about Openness at Microsoft (check out our updated website!) and Windows Azure can take us far and wide, but we didn't expect to find ourselves in the middle of Middle Earth. Let me explain…
Earlier this month, a few of us at Microsoft embarked on a road trip to talk with developers across New Zealand about Windows Azure and its support for a myriad of OSS technologies. Little did we know that New Zealand was also in the midst of celebrating the worldwide premiere of The Hobbit movie, with Wellington temporarily renamed the "Middle of Middle Earth."

Hi all,
I am looking to do some linguistic analysis of informal proofs. Therefore I am on a search for a collection of entry level proofs written in a clear, uninvolved style. I have one recommendation for Hardy and Wright's "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers," and was wondering if there is something else you may add to this.
Many thanks in advance, Nickolay

I'm finally going to buy a bike next month. And a helmet. I'm wondering how much I should budget for buying a helmet.
I'll be riding around New York City, so I want good visibility around me. And safety is a big concern for me as well.
Testing of helmets shows that there is little difference in impact protection. A better quality helmet, defined in this case as one that fits your head, is well ventilated, and looks good.
A well ventilated helmet prevents you from overheating while riding, especially at high speeds. A helmet that fits stays put on your head during a crash. And one that is comfortable and lightweight is less noticeable while you ride.
From a pure safety standpoint, buy a DOT/ANSI certified helmet, and you'll be fine. If you want to enjoy riding, and not mind wearing the helmet, be willing to spend more. $300 dollars is not out of line for a really high quality helmet, but that doesn't mean you need to spend that.
Find one that fits, ask your LBS to explain the ventilation differences between it and its more expensive cousins, and find one that fits in your budget. Looks good can be important, too, but that's personal and subjective.
In many countries all helmets legally sold meet a certain minimum standard. So there is no "too cheap" option, as the cheapest helmet you can buy will be considered safe enough. In this case spending more gets you a lighter, better looking (subjectively) and more comfortable helmet.
The USA also has a mandatory standard. For information about the standards and also plenty of other information and studies about the safety benefits of wearing helmets, see this wikipedia article
Although safety is a big concern, I don't think that a helmet per se will keep you safe. Wearing a helmet may make the difference between being lucky versus unlucky, if you're in an accident. I wear a helmet (well, a hard hat): I'm not against helmets; but the other things you do, e.g. choosing where and how and when to ride, would probably have a bigger effect on your safety.
I don't know that any helmet would impair visibility: it moves when your head does (and, I expect, stays up on the crown of your head instead of slipping in front of your eyes).
I may be wrong but I think that what you're buying with a more expensive helmet would be:
I bought a "Bern Brighton" hard hat because it was cheap and comfortable and (I hoped) more likely to at least stay on, in an accident, than others in the store which fit less well.
Edit: Someone mentioned that some helmets come with visors, which can interfere with your visibility when you're in a "heads down" position. Now I recall, I did notice some with a visor, often a detachable visor, and reflexively (note that I'm a novice buyer/user, not an expert/salesman) avoided them: I reckoned that instead of a visor I could wear sunglasses instead, if it came to that.
A more direct answer: If you shop in a bike shop you'll probably have to shell out $50-75 for something that fits and suits your taste. If you shop in a discount store you can likely find a serviceable helmet for $20-30, though it may not be vented as well, if that's a criterion for you.
Main criteria would be

eggplant curry recipe
Well, I've finally made that eggplant curry I was talking about making a while back. I've actually been quite amazed to see cheap eggplants already making their ways into stores this early on in the season, but you would never hear me complaining! Oh no, no. I'm really loving them right now. That being said, it has been a long and winding road, learning to love eggplants. I've never not liked them, I think it's been more a case of working in too many cafes where the done thing was to slather slices in way to much oil and chargrill. Ick.
Prepared in this way, the eggplant cooks down into meltingly soft mouthfuls that are full of flavour having soaked up all those fragrant spices and tomatoes.
I know a lot of people are scared off by long winded Indian recipes, with numerous ingredients and steps to follow. But this one I assure you is really straight forward. I have eliminated a few of the usual steps to not only make it faster to prepare, but a damn site healthier too. The recipe this was based on, deep-fried the eggplant first. I have chosen to use a onion base to give the same rich, deep flavour without all the fat. The trick is though, you really do have to cook the onion out for the full 10 minutes. Watch it, and stir often. But don't be scared to take it to almost burning point! I mean, you obviously don't want it to be burnt, but get it as close as you can. The depth of flavour this gives is mind-boggling, even more so if you use the ghee or clarified butter to cook it in. (I've included a recipe below for both).
I also don't bother with salting my eggplants. This step used to be essential to release the bitterness in most eggplants. But I find nowadays, that most eggplants if they are nice, young, freshly picked ones without big black seeds inside, they don't require this step.
As with most curries, the flavour of this really improves over time, so making it a day ahead is not a bad idea. Or make more than enough, so you have some leftovers for the following day.
Loosely based on a spiced eggplant recipe in The food of India by Priya Wickramasinghe and Carol Selva Rajah.
eggplant curry recipe
As mentioned above, like most curries this recipe keeps well, and actually improves with time. If you have leftovers simply reheat the next day, re-check seasoning, adding more salt if needed and serve on freshly steamed rice. I like to use ghee (see recipe below) in curries for the authentic flavour it gives. It is lactose-free, but if you avoid dairy altogether simply use a neutral vegetable oil like rice bran oil. I like to use whole cumin seeds, but by all means use ground cumin if that's what you have. Make sure you use regular brown onions in this recipe, red onions have a higher sugar content and tend to burn too easily in curries like this, where long, slow cooking is required. Serves 4-6
- 2 medium (800g/1lb 12oz) eggplants (aubergine)
- 3 Tbsp ghee/vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2.5cm (1 inch) piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds/ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp cayenne or a small pinch of chilli powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 400g tin (14oz) chopped tomatoes
- a small handful of fresh coriander/cilantro leaves to garnish (optional)
Wash eggplants and dice into 2 cm cubes.
Heat ghee/oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until a deep golden brown colour. (Be patient and don't be tempted to rush this stage).
Add the grated ginger, crushed garlic, fennel and cumin seeds. Cook for about 2 minutes until garlic and ginger are fragrant. Add ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne/chilli powder and salt. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the diced eggplant and stir well to coat evenly with spices. Pour in the tin of chopped tomatoes, give it a big stir, then place the lid on and continue to cook over low-medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Check and stir a few times to ensure it's not catching on the bottom. Turn temperature down a little if need be.
When the sauce has thickened and the eggplant is meltingly soft, check the seasoning once more. Serve sprinkled with coriander/cilantro leaves and steamed rice. Enjoy!
ghee recipe
Ghee is so easy to make at home and is a great lactose-free alternative to butter in cooking. It heats to a high temperature without burning and gives a lovely buttery flavour. Clarified butter can be used in place of ghee and also has very low levels of lactose, if any. Because ghee has no milk solids it keeps really well at room temperature. I store mine in a glass jar on the bench for up to 1-2 months. You can make it in any amounts you like, but I tend to make at least 500g (1 pound) at a time.
- 500g (1 pound) unsalted butter
To take it further to ghee, simply cook for the full 10-15 minutes. In this time any foam left will drop to the bottom, combine with the milk solids and go all nutty and brown. This gives the ghee a lovely toasted flavour. Carefully pour the clear amber liquid into a glass jar, leaving behind the white sediment. Allow to cool and store either at room temperature or in the fridge.

Emma, this looks wonderful. I saw some eggplants today at the market and I passed them up because I didn't have this recipe yet. Now I'll have to find some again so that I can try this! Thanks for posting it.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous photos too.
Mmmm yum, looks delicious! We cook a lot of curries in the winter, which are especially good with homemade naan.ReplyDelete
I have mixed feelings about eggplant, I think it's a texture thing... But, this does look really good, maybe I will have to give it a go again and re-evaluate my feelings!
Kate, Thanks for your lovely comment. I'm slowly figuring out how to take better food photos :-)ReplyDelete
Amy, yep it's always been a textural thing for me too, that's why I've only ever really liked them made into babaganosh! But I've really been enjoying eggplant curries lately.
Now I have more things to make!ReplyDelete
Eggplants have always scared me a little bit because of one really bad childhood experience with the peel. Ughh...but I'm going to give this a try.
P.S. the butter bean recipe turned out terrific!
Hi Annie, great to hear you liked the butter bean recipe :-) I'm glad I'm not the only one to have had issues with eggplant and I totally recommend giving them a second chance :-)ReplyDelete
yuuum! I wish I had this recipe when I had homegrown eggplants. mmm mmmmReplyDelete
Yum - great recipe! Made this and was v. impressed. Really getting into eggplant as star ingredient.ReplyDelete
I love eggplants! Our local recipe use slightly different ingredients though.ReplyDelete
That looks so wonderful. These spicy curries are perfect for the winters.ReplyDelete

I made this last night and it was delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes.ReplyDelete
yay, so glad you liked it Maree :-)ReplyDelete
hello my darling lemon thyme,ReplyDelete
i make your curry and it is delicious. my brother who does not like aubergines, love this dish. just a little concern. i am not sure why each time i cook curry, it has a slight bitter taste. can you tell me why this happens?
Hi vi vian,ReplyDelete
When you talk about the curry being bitter, are we talking about eggplant curry or just curries in general? If it is eggplant curry you are talking about, make sure you choose nice young eggplants that don't have large black seeds inside. If they are older and have large seeds you need to salt them to remove the natural bitterness. Simply chop the eggplant, sprinkle with a little salt, leave 30 minutes, rinse off with water and pat dry before continuing on with the recipe.
If it is other curries you are talking about, are you using tinned tomatoes by any chance? In the sauce base? These are way more acidic than regular tomatoes and I like to add a few teaspoons of sugar to counter-balance the bitterness. Failing that, are you burning the spices at any stage? These can cause bitter flavours too. Make sure when you cook the spices you add them in the order given in the recipe. Generally the whole spices get cooked first before briefly adding the ground spices.
Hope that helps. Please to write back if you had any further questions I may be able to help you with -emm
i made this last week and while it did turn out lovely, i thought the subsequent leftovers tasted better compared to the first night we made it. the flavors had more time to meld & mingle. thank you for posting this!
good lord. just made this. excuse my french but this shit is delicious. thank you for the post and the pics!ReplyDelete
Haha you are excused jasmine! So glad you enjoyed it :-)ReplyDelete
I added two teaspoons of peanut butter and a big squeeze of lemon juice and it was delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe :)ReplyDelete
This is the 4th time I've made this recipe and I love it. So does my husband who is decidedly anti-eggplant! It is also great the next day cold on bread with avocado and some rocket! YumReplyDelete
Oooh is that how ghee works. I never thought it was lactose free simply from boiling a while. I love your bowls!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks I made those bowls myself! But sadly left them back in NZ when we made the move to Western Australia.Delete
And yes, the lactose is in the milk solids of butter, which is left behind on the bottom of the pan when boiled. Just like magic!
Hello there,ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and it was beautiful. I haven't always been a fan of eggplant but my local indian place makes a great Eggplant dish and I had been looking around for a recipe for something similar. This was it. Have to say again it was fab.
Quick question though. My family like their food a bit milder. Would you suggest halving the spices or maybe removing one of them?
Thanks so much.
I'd remove the chilli/cayenne altogether and maybe scale back the spices just a tad. xxDelete
I made this recipe but it looks a lot more dry than in the pictures. I used one large eggplant so im wondering could that have been it?ReplyDeleteReplies
Using one large eggplant should have been okay? Did you cook it without the lid on instead of covered? This would make the liquid evaporate a little too much.Delete
Oh yes i think that is what may have happened. My partner who made a yuck face at the thought of eggplant LOVED it!! So im making more today!! Im going to us more onion and a bit more chopped tomato and its sauce. Super delish thank you!!! Ill let youi know how turns outReplyDelete

Hi Emma,ReplyDelete
I am planning on cooking this tonight (as in tonight European time) and just on the off chance you see this...
Do I put in the fennel seeds without crushing or grinding them? I have never made curry from scratch and it is just something I stumbled over, since I don't know whether they soften or taste good when left whole.
Hi Franziska,Delete
thanks for your message, I tend to just chuck the fennel seeds in whole, but by all means you can crush then if you'd prefer. It's only 1 teaspoon of them, so the flavour they give is not overly strong anyway.
xx Enjoy!
- AnonymousApril 7, 2013 at 9:07 PM
Perfect timing Emma, thanks! I am about to cycle to a friends place to start cooking :) I'll go with chucking them in whole then! Will let you know how I went! Have a lovely evening!Delete
- AnonymousApril 8, 2013 at 7:39 PM
It was delicious! I ended up adding 2 sweet potatoes to the curry which I had on hand. This will be my new go to curry! Thanks again for your help Emma!Delete

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it :-) xxDelete

I love eggplants and can eat them in any possible way. I just made this recipe tonight for my lunch tomorrow. I am doing the JJ Virgin week with no dairy, gluten, sugar- and this recipe is exactly what I need. But instead of canned, I used a fresh ripe homegrown-by-my-mom tomato and I can not wait until lunch tomorrow! This recipe is a keeper.ReplyDelete
I bought an eggplant (aubergine) the other day with no idea what to do with it, stumbled upon this recipe and have just made and eaten it. Really delicious and great instructions. I feel inspired and chefy! Thank you :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 29, 2013 at 12:28 AM
I tried this recipe some time ago and even my husband not being a big fan of eggplant really loved it. I would recommend it to anyone, it is so easy to do. Thanks for this great recipe. I have served it with some quinoa.ReplyDeleteReplies
So glad you enjoyed it! This seems to be one of the favourites of all the recipes I've ever posted :-)Delete
- AnonymousMay 7, 2014 at 5:18 AM
Hi, this looks delicious and easy! Do you think it would freeze well? If so, how would you thaw it? Sorry, i just love the thought of having portions of this ready to eat stashed away:)ReplyDeleteReplies
I freeze curries all the time. Simply leave in the fridge overnight to defrost, or defrost in a lidded pan over low heat with a splash of water until warmed through. xxDelete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2014 at 1:02 PM
So excited to find this! I've got my first real hit of eggplants in the garden so I'm super keen to turn them into something delish :)ReplyDelete
made it tonight and served with plain greek yoghurt - INSANELY DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!ReplyDelete
I served it tonight with plain rice and salad it was fantastic!ReplyDelete
thank youfor sharing
Can't wait to try this- brinjal bhajee is my favourite curry and this looks every bit as delicious. It'll be on the menu tonight!ReplyDelete
Hi! I am a huge fan of curry and this looks DELISH. Better yet I have all of the ingredients....minus the turmeric and fennel seeds. Is it possible to replace some (portion) of the spices with curry powder?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sure that would be fine. The end results will be different of course, but still yum :-)Delete

Updated: Following Michael's suggestion, I rephrase the question slightly.
Given a locally convex (Hausdorff) topological vector space (LCTVS), when is it isomorphic to a subspace of some function space $Y^X$ (equipped with the product topology), where $Y$ is, say, some Banach space (if it helps simplify things, can assume $Y=\mathbb{C}$, the complex field), and $X$ is some set. We are free to choose X and Y.
If not all LCTVS have this property, then what kind of conditions do we need?
Any reference would be appreciated, thanks!

What's the best type of knife [and/or method] for cutting raw bread dough? Is a special dough blade necessary, or will any blade suffice?
I work in a fine dining restaurant, and the standard implement is a bench scraper AKA a dough knife AKA a bench knife. It's basically a stiff, 6" wide sheet of stiff metal with a handle, and can pressed or rocked down on the counter to cut dough into portions. It can also be used to move shaped bread or rolls, cut pastry, fold sticky doughs, and scrape off the counter for cleanup. They're not really knife-sharp per se, but the metal is narrow enough to cut dough well, and a knife would go dull against the hard surface anyway. The best models have measurements engraved into them, so you can consistently size your products, and will stand vertically on the handle (for icing cakes).
Now, for SLASHING risen breads before baking, the correct tool is something called a lame, which is basically a razor with a handle. Or, you can just use your really sharp chef knife (your chef knife IS razor-sharp, right?) and spritz it with pan spray to keep the dough from sticking.
A knife large enough to not require a slicing motion. You want chopping or even better rolling motion. Any sharp knife will be ok but I have some preferences:
In a pinch I use my plastic dough scraper. A metal scraper with a flat blade is adequate. http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Multi-Purpose-Pastry-Scraper-Chopper/dp/B00004OCNJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306878170&sr=8-1
Pizza cutters are ok but if there is too much dough then they get bogged down.
My all time favorite tool for this- and I have more than one just for this purpose- is an ulu. This is a curved knife used traditionally by native Alaskans. Mine is big and rolls through a lot of dough easily.
Assuming it is just yeast dough and you aren't trying to preserve some lift characteristic, you don't want a knife. You should have a bench scraper as your go-to tool for handling dough, it is not sharp, it is wide and flat so it does an excellent job of scraping dough up when it sticks to the bread board, and it is completely capable of cutting through dough if you are subdividing.
It is also plenty handy for actual bench scraping... i.e. getting remnants of old dough off your cutting/bread board/counter.
My mother used to roll a sheet of dough into a tube for cinnamon rolls, then cut the individual rolls by wrapping a piece of string around the tube and pulling both ends until it cut through.
For most kinds of dough any blade will do, but you may want to sprinkle some flour on the knife if the dough is sticky (especially if the dough already contains flour; for non-flour ones, it may be a problem)
I've never seen a special knife, but I often use a long, thin, smooth edged (not serrated) blade. Cuts cleanly. Doesn't stick. Doesn't crunch the dough.
The only knife I would avoid would be a serrated blade because of how the teeth "hook" material to tear.

We've had purchases of these adapter kits from the US, UK, France and South Africa thus far.
find this on the web.
I dont know why people pick the hard way to convert surveyor's tripod heads!?!?!
Just remove the big 5/8 off the beast and go to a hardware store and get a 3/8bolt and a couple of big washers for $2 and mount your tripod head on it... took me 2mins to convert.. have fun
sounds simpler than I think. :-)
We listen. We try harder.
Modern surveyors tripod heads have a ground flat top surface with a fairly large hole in the middle.
The tribarch can move over this surface for centering purposes. the fixing is fairly complex as it has to work with an optical plumb which these days is mostly a tube This is pulled down to lock the Tribarch into position by a hollow bolt this passes through a metal arm under the tripod head that can move following the tribarch as it is slid to adjust its position.
The way he mentions only works with old style legs.
The surveyor tripod/ tribrach combo is overkill for 99% of panorama photographers. I was obsessed with the tribrach idea for a while and built a plate to convert the 5/8 to 1/4 fitting. Tribrachs are fun, the leveling ensures great accuracy, but another converter needs to be fabricated to mate with the NN base. More trouble than it is worth. Leveling with a ball head takes a few seconds, and the ball head is great for non panoramic photography as well.
hey Waters,
Do you like the surveyor tripod? Do you feel it heavy? Wondering how many people can accept the weight. Do you think a simple adapter (like yours) for it is helpful?
We listen. We try harder.
Here's an image that shows the Nodal Ninja 3 MKII on a Leica Geosystems Scan Station adapter (rod) which in mounted onto the tribrach adapter (black portion only).
This is the sort of progress wide angle stuff that would suit a Surveyors tripod.
taken with canon G6 on nn3 on Manfrotto 055prob. wind and mud on such sites is always a major problem.
Now use a 40D for this work.

Consider the category $Space(G)$ of $G$-spaces. For $H\subset G$, there is a forgetful functor from $Space(G)$ to $Space(H)$. Also, for an object $X$ in $Space(G)$ and another object $X'$ in $Space(G')$, $X\times X'$ is in $Space(G\times G')$.
Consider also the category of $Mod(G)$ of modules over $H_G(pt)$. For $H\subset G$, there is a forgetful functor from $Mod(G)$ to $Mod(H)$. Also for a module $M$ in $Mod(G)$ and another module $M'$ in $Mod(G')$, $M\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} M'$ is in $Mod(G\times G')$.
My question is whether there is an established terminology for the categories $C(G)$ parameterized by a group $G$ satisfying the axioms abstracting those listed above:
- For $H\subset G$ there is a forgetful functor from $C(G)$ to $C(H)$
- For $G$, $G'$ there is a "multiplication functor" from $C(G)\times C(G')$ to $C(G\times G')$
satisfying various relations. The equivariant cohomology functor $H_G: Space(G) \to Mod(G)$ is compatible with these two operations. Is there a terminology for such a functor?
Update: Pondering more about it, I think it is better to formulate the concept as "categories $\mathcal{C}$ contravariantly parameterized by another (symmetric) monoidal category $\mathcal{X}$ ", i.e.
- for an object $X$ in $\mathcal{X}$, there is a category $\mathcal{C}(X)$
- for a morphism $f:X\to Y$ between objects in $\mathcal{X}$, there is a functor $f:\mathcal{C}(Y)\to\mathcal{C}(X)$
- for an object $X$ and $Y$ with its product $X\times Y$ in $\mathcal{X}$, there is a multiplication functor which defines, by $o_1\in \mathcal{C}(X)$ and $o_2\in\mathcal{C}(Y)$, an object $o_1\times o_2 \in \mathcal{C}(X\times Y)$.
