Giselle 2011

I'm a little too tired to give a full description now--I also saw Cojocaru/Hallberg in Act I, and Herrera/Bolle in Act II in the dress rehearsal today, but I will wait to comment on that until after they actually perform.
I took 5 friends with me to tonight's show, most of whom are not very familiar with ballet. All of them thought the performance was great, and the ballerina exceptional, but they all had the same question, which was, "Are they [Vishneva/Gomes] a real-life couple?" Yes, indeed, the key to this performance was the fantastic connection between Vishneva/Gomes and the passion they shared. Bravo, I say again!
More to follow later...

They were terrific together - a terrific partnership. I saw an exquisite Giselle with Vishneva and Corella about 5 years ago. However, Vishneva and Gomes now seem to have a solid partership. I really got (in Act 2) that Albrecht needs protection from Giselle as well as the generally demonstrated love they have for each other. This is the first time I have seen that so clearly dramatized. So,different chemistry than Vishneva/Corella but just as wonderful.
Well, I just came back from a gorgeous performance of "Giselle" thanks to the sublime Diana Vishneva and marvelous Marcelo Gomes (and the commanding Veronika Part)! BRAVO!!!
I also thought that Part was strong as Myrta; she looked better to me than she has looked previously. But for me the revelation of this week has been Isabella Boylston. She was terrific tonight has Moyna (Yuriko was Zulma) and did a more than credible job in the Ratmansky and Wheeldon works on Wed. night. I look forward to seeing more of her.

She and Gomes had great chemistry and, of course, he was an impassioned Albrecht. They should dance together much more often!
Part was a brilliant, implacable Myrtha and both Kajiya and Boylston were excellent. I was surprised at how much I liked Kajiya - she is such a lovely, lyrical dancer I don't know why ABT always seems to want to force her into virtuoso roles.
I was also impressed by Maria Riccetto in the peasant pas. Her dancing was pristine, as always, but last night it also had a great delicacy and lovely phrasing.

In Act Two I thought both Gomes and Vishneva were magnificent. Their pas de deux was just beautiful. He lifted her like she was paper, and at various points he drew her closer to his body. Gomes did a series of wonderful entrechat sixes when ordered by Myrtha to dance, and I love the way he traveled upstage, closer and closer to Myrtha, as if being drawn by her power. Vishneva's initiation scene is also a wonder -- the way she suddenly starts turning furiously, as if really possessed, sets the stage for the entire act. She appears so wraith-like -- her arms start to float and even fly in every direction, as if this was really a spirit dancing. And when the clock strikes four I have never seen such a sudden transformation of Giselle. This Giselle crossed her arms every time Albrecht tried to touch her, as she bourreed back to the grave. Just a haunting end to a beautiful performance.
I thought Veronika Part as Myrtha gave one of her best performances. Really implacable and commanding. Not even heartless, just the Boss and thus even more frightening. The corps de ballet tonight looked on, after looking so raggedy last week.

Giselle with Alina Cojocaru - I've been going to the ballet for more than 40 years. This was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. I don't even know where to begin. I'll write more tomorrow -maybe.
Please do!

Her solos were beautiful but I've seen better Mad Scenes. Makarova's, in my opinion, is the gold standard in its power, creepiness and poignancy.
Act Two was glorious. Veronika Part's Myrtha was ruthless and her naturally majestic stage presence was amplified in the role. She was one scary Willi Queen! Part should go down in ballet history as one of the best Myrthas of all time along with Martine Van Hamel and Gillian Murphy. Vishneva was spot on perfect. A wild newly born Willi and angelic at the same time. She danced with exquisite lyricism and abandon in her solos and with Gomes. Giselle's initiation scene was an OMG moment -- the way she exploded into those turns was amazing. Vishneva moves around the stage with an unearthly weightlessness especially with Gomes. One got the impression that Albrecht was lifting a spirit. And their respective series of entrechats! I've never seen a ballerina ever get the height out of entrechats that Vishneva did. And Gomes's series of entrechats moving upstage were stunning. It was an Act Two filled with drama and poetry. Now I know why Vishneva's Giselle is so renowned.
At the curtain calls it was obvious that Vishneva and Gomes have formed a close bond. A great partnership has been born.

Diana Vishneva's Giselle is absolutely unique -- it really has to be experienced to be believed. From the moment she steps out her cottage, Vishneva brings a kind of moody intensity to the role that can't be topped. Think Giselle is a pretty ballet about a girl who dies for love? Vishneva will make you think again. This Giselle will stare emptily at the ground, as if lost in her own world. When she did the Spessivtseva variation, in her hops on pointe she turned towards Albrecht, in an almost erotic exhibition of this girl's love of dance. Seeing Albrecht and Bathilde together will unhinge her so much that her hair falls out while she's breaking them apart, not when she falls to the ground. In the mad scene she bumped into Bathilde before making a curtsy, with a completely blank, demented look on her face. When she mimed the "he loves me, he loves me not" bit in the Mad Scene, she mimed herself angrily tearing up the flower. Vishneva now conserves some energy for Act Two, but the basic outline of her Giselle hasn't changed over the years (I've now seen it three times). She has a doll-like face and is petite and pretty, but emphasizes the serious, dark side to this ballet.
Vishneva in Act Two is still probably the most intense, well-rounded characterization I've seen of the role. When Myrtha initiates her as a Wili, Vishneva sudden dropped her head to the ground and started turning furiously, really possessed. Natalia Osipova's turns might have been faster, but they had a lightness to them that left a completely different impression. Vishneva was stern and unsettling, as she never lifted her eyes, never let you forget that this was a ghost. Her eyes remained downcast for the entire second act, even when she did the developpes or the bunny hops. She wore a huge white skirt with many layers that flew in every which direction, and her eyes were drawn with dark eyeshadow. There was a wraith-like quality to Vishneva's Giselle that was frightening. She used her long arms to create an impression of a complete ghost, as she often would whirl her arms in different directions as she danced. When she grand jeted across the stage, she pounded her feet hard. One great example of a dancer reworking a role to suit her strengths -- Vishneva doesn't have the effortless, airy jump of, say, Alina Cojocaru, so she even makes her jumps fierce and forbidding.
Diana had wonderful chemistry with Marcelo Gomes, the Albrecht, who brought his own moody intensity to the ballet. Technically he was superb, but he made the dancing serve the drama, just like Vishneva. In Act One when Giselle expired in his arms Gomes visibly panicked more than any other Albrecht I've seen. When Myrtha commanded him to dance, he did a series of entrechat sixes that moved closer and closer to Myrtha, as if drawn by some sinister spirit. Gomes was a great partner -- he lifted Vishneva as if she were paper. Perhaps the greatest moment of last night's Giselle was when the clock struck four, and Albrecht was saved. Gomes carried Vishneva to her grave, and all of a sudden Vishneva let all life drain out of her. Her arms and legs dropped lifelessly, and all of a sudden Albrecht was carrying a corpse. It was spooky and scary. Vishneva then repeatedly crossed her arms whenever Albrecht tried to touch her, really as an untouchable spirit. She bourreed farther and farther away, and then she was gone. She never looked at him. Vishneva and Gomes made Giselle an unsettling, unforgettable gothic love story.
Veronika Part as the Queen of the Wilis was tall, stern, commanding, and really Vishneva and Part together made for one scary stage. Myrtha is one of Part's best roles -- it takes advantage of her strengths (her commanding appearance, the surprising lightness of her jumps), and she really has the role perfected. The imperious sweep of her arms as she commands her intendants, Giselle, and Albrecht was something else. Maria Riccetto and Jared Matthews gave one of those "nothing special" performances of the peasant pas de deux.
If Diana Vishneva's Giselle was so ghostly that it made your hair curl, Alina Cojocaru, David Hallberg, and Stella Abrera (subbing for an injured Gillian Murphy) made Giselle a kinder, gentler ballet. Cojocaru is naturally sweet and waif-like, Hallberg a sort of blond prince whose elegance of dancing is accompanied by a nice guy stage persona. The two of them were adorable in Act One. It was puppy-love at its most endearing -- I loved the way they giggled together while sitting on the bench. Their dances together had the joy and spring of young love. Cojocaru was really believable as a peasant too, not just as a ballerina posing as a peasant. Her hair was almost casually pulled behind her head with some flowers, and she smiled and curtsied to everyone with a winning artlessness. In the Mad Scene she didn't really run around the stage and swoon dramatically, but often stood or sat alone, arms folded, crying, like a teenager.
In Act Two, Cojocaru and Hallberg made it a continuation of their love story in Act One, rather than a shocking contrast (as Vishneva and Gomes made Act Two). They touched each other gently throughout the ballet blanc. It almost felt like in Act Two, this Giselle and Albrecht finally consummated their relationship. The same white Giselle costume looked ghostly on Vishneva but looked like a wedding dress on Cojocaru. Cojocaru was not really wraith-like -- this was the same sweet girl of Act One. Whereas Vishneva had her eyes downcast the entire act, Cojocaru often looked upwards, as if drawn by some kind of divine, benevolent force. Cojocaru and Hallberg embraced tightly when the clock struck four. Cojocaru did something I've never seen any other Giselle do -- she steered Albrecht away from her grave until the last possible musical cue, at which point she all of a sudden stopped and bourreed offstage, but not before dropping a daisy center stage. This Giselle simply could not be morbid, even in death. Giselle was very uplifting when Cojocaru and Hallberg danced it -- two lovers who cannot be together in life reunite in the afterlife.
Cojocaru has had a number of injuries, and there were moments where she visibly had difficulty with the technical demands of the ballet. One such moment was the Spessivtseva variation. Cojocaru's feet are disfigured by bunions, and I imagine this kind of pounding on pointe must be extremely painful. For a moment I thought she simply would not do the variation, as she stopped onstage and seemed frozen. But she grimly did the hops across the stage, but not traveling very far. Her arms were gripped tightly to her side. She stopped around center-stage and to everyone's relief went to the pique turns that end the variation. In Act Two, she had a wonderful lightness of movement and an airy jump, but I notice she was careful with the series of backward-traveling entrechats. Her initiation as a Wili didn't have the breakneck fury of Vishneva, but Cojocaru is able to make everything so enchanting. She accelerated her turns, and made the audience forget that she was doing less actual rotations. Cojocaru took advantage of what she does have -- namely, exquisite flexibility, grace, elevation and lightness. Even her bourress are so silky she drew applause just for bourreeing offstage. She brought her own personality to the ballet -- Cojocaru was the most lovable Giselle I've ever seen. You practically wanted to run onstage and give this Giselle a hug. Whereas Vishneva made her arms spooky looking, Cojocaru always had her arms tilted in these series of soft Romantic poses.
David Hallberg complemented Cojocaru beautifully. His Albrecht is not really a cad, just a good-looking and somewhat careless playboy. He's much taller than Cojocaru, but their body line matched each other and they looked born to dance together. In Act Two, Hallberg was the same as he was with Natalia Osipova two years ago -- somewhat reserved, but inspired to dance beautifully. Whereas Gomes collapsed by Myrtha's feet, Hallberg looked like he could have danced all night without collapsing. His less Byronic portrayal would have clashed terribly with Vishneva's Grimm Brothers approach to the ballet, but it matched Cojocaru's softer approach perfectly. He's really a very elegant-looking dancer, and he and Gomes are really stepping up to the plate this season as the ABT's male roster seems to be disappearing.
Stella Abrera stepped in for an injured Gillian Murphy and she's a beautiful dancer, but I kept thinking that this was a Giselle rather than a Myrtha. She didn't have the block-like torso and imperious "queenly" look of most Myrthas. Hee Seo was a standout as Zulma, really beautiful and elegant. Danil Simkin and Sarah Lane in the peasant pas de deux were technically impressive in their variations but had some visible partnering problems. At this point he's too skinny and scrawny and short to partner most ballerinas, even if he is a technical wunderkind.
One last thing -- the curtain calls. Both Vishneva and Cojocaru took them "in character." Vishneva stared moodily at the stage, her face stern and her eyes blank, for all of the curtain calls. She never looked up at the cheering audience, and never dropped character. Cojocaru on the other hand echoed the low curtsies and shy smiles of *her* Giselle. They were both works of art.

Act l - Cojocaru was young, sweet, joyful (you believed she loved to dance) and open to life. Technically there was one oddity (noted by Canbelto). In the Act l variation there are hops on pointe that usually travel on diagonal. Cojocaru did hops in place and opened to a balance before moving on to pique turns. If you know the ballet you'd notice. The people I was with who never saw the ballet before thought the way she open her leg and balanced was beautiful, they didn't mention the hops. Her dancing was beautiful and full in every way - balances, turns, extensions, jumps, the way she covered space, her port de bras, also her wonderful musicality in the length of her musical phrasing - all in service to the ballet. At one point she sustained a pique arabesque directed at Albrecht and opened her arms and chest as if to say - I'm opening my heart to you. As an audience member you loved her and didn't want anything bad to happen to her! This made the mad scene all the more devastating. The mad scene was totally in keeping with the character. She didn't run around ranting but instead crumbled into madness
Act ll - Myrta initiated her and jerked her about, but Giselle's sweetness of spirit always shined through. Pique arabesques across stage, head thrown back, fluid arms - this was a spirit rising. (I have to say that I was a little surprised at how good her beats were when she did an entrachat six, a lot of women don't really beat). There was moment in a lift when Hallberg held her extended leg and she just lifted her other leg from the floor, making her look totally weightless (sorry, I know that's a bad description), So many moments from both acts come back to me. Too many to set down. Cojocaru brings every detail, moment and step to life.
I had not seen Hallberg in much before, and haven't been a big fan. I have new found respect and admiration for him based on both the strength of his dancing and his characterization.
This interpretation of the ballet is Giselle at its most uplifting. The sweetness and purity of Giselle's spirit, and love for Albrecht couldn't be destroyed by betrayal, madness or death and Albrecht, taking the flower that Giselle leaves for him at the end, has learned about love.
The other roles - I agree with Canbelto that Abrera seems more suited to Giselle than Myrta. I hope she gets a chance. The lieutenant Willis, Riccetto and Seo were perhaps a little underpowered, but fine.
Peasant Pas - Lane/Simkin were very enjoyable in their solos. He still has some partnering problems. In fact she seemed better off turning without him than with him!
I feel privileged to have seen Cojocaru in this role.

Grilled ''Cajun-Style'' Grouper with Tabasco-Corn Tartar Sauce
Categories: Entertaining, On the Grill, Spicy
Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
Fish coated with a spice rub gets a nice crust, and the spicy tartar sauce, with corn and pickle relish, goes perfectly.
Serves: Serves 4
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 4 grouper steaks or fillets, 8-10oz (225-280g) each
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
The sauce
- 1 ear corn, husked and desilked
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup store bought sweet pickle relish
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 2-3 tablespoons Tabasco (or other hot sauce of your choice), or use as much or little as you prefer
- 2 tablespoons prepared brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon celery seeds
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

- For the sauce: On the stove top, bring a large pan of salted water to a boil and blanch the ear of corn for 2 minutes. Drain and cut the kernels off the cob (it should yield about 1/4 cup).
- Combine the corn kernels with the rest of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until serving time.
- Build a fire in your grill. When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is medium (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- Combine the paprika, coriander, kosher salt, dry mustard, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Rub the grouper with olive oil and coat it generously on all sides with the spice mixture, pressing gently to be sure it adheres. Put the fish on the grill directly over the coals and cook until it is just opaque throughout (6-8 minutes per side). To check for doneness, poke the fish with your finger to test its firmness (see The "hand method"); if you're unsure, make a cut in one of the steaks or fillets to be sure it is opaque all the way through.
- Transfer the fish to a platter and serve, passing the tartar sauce on the side.

I want to shoot more and better panoramic photos and looking for a good panoramic tripod head
I heard of Nodal Ninja 3. This head is described as the best travel adapter, because it is small and light.
So after I have ordered one I discovered a calculation of whether the Nodal Ninja 3 is suitable for the used camera and lens combination on a German site (http://www.pano-store.de/kaufberatung/berechnungen - and scroll down). And I was shocked, because for my Olympus E-5/E-3 with Zuiko Digital 11-22mm 2.8-3.5 and Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm 2.8-4.0 SWD), the result was always the same: The Nodal Ninja 3 can not be used, the Nodal Ninja 5 is suitable.
But in some forums I have found the recommendation to other users with Olympus E-3 + Zuiko Digital 11-22mm, the Nodal Ninja can be used for this.
Of course, I am totally confused now, especially because the Nodal Ninja 5 was discontinued and replaced by the smaller Nodal Ninja 4.
Please, can you help me and tell me what Nodal Ninja I can use with my Olympus E-5/E-3 + ZUIKO DIGITAL 11-22mm 2.8-3.5 and ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-60mm 2.8-4.0 SWD can use: 3 Nodal Ninja or nodal Ninja 4 or neither? Unfortunately I can not try it by myself, because I have to order it on the Internet.
Thank you,
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language.

By the time I got home today I was running a fever, had a sore throat, and had a good case of the shaky chills. Needless to say I was in no mood to make dinner. So, hot dogs and french fries it was! The boys love to craft these elaborate, yet gross, hot dogs: ketchup, pickle, mustard, plum sauce, and cherry sauce. I did not take any pictures.
A few days ago Alexis asked if I would write something about giving up cheese; the one hurdle many people cannot leap and become vegan. I generally shy away from these kinds of posts because they can come off as condescending and sanctimonious. So, instead of telling you what to do I will just tell you what choices I made. First, let me say that I loved meat and dairy of all kinds. And why not? Animal fat tastes good--that's why fast food is so popular. My transition to veganism began after viewing Supersize Me. Of course, I knew that fast food was bad and generally did not eat much of it. But then I started reading the books of the people Morgan Spurlock interviewed. Meat was relatively easy to give up after reading about its impact on my health and the environment. And, of course, the exploitation of animals on factory farms in the name of profit. I would now describe myself as a pacifist. So, what about products that don't result in the death of an animal? In my opinion, many animals are still exploited and mistreated even if harvesting their products does not result in their immediate death. Plus, I knew from a brief stint with vegetarianism from 1999-2000, I knew that I would just replace meat with gobs and gobs of dairy and eggs. So, I would be merely replacing saturated fat and cholesterol from meat with the same things from dairy.
So I gave it all up. And it was not easy. I had to develop a new set of cooking skills and a new way of thinking about food. I have been cooking since I was in Grade Seven, and while my Mom was all about balanced meals and eating fruits and veggies (to stave of scurvy, she told us), each meal was constructed around meat or dairy. So, if you can't get chicken breasts out of the fridge and plan a meal around them, what do you do? Vegan With a Vengeance was my first cookbook, and Fat Free Vegan Kitchen was the first blog to give me plenty of inspiration. And I hated the fake cheese. I described Galaxy Vegan Cheese as not unlike plastic vomit, and thought Vegan Gourmet was watery and just plain gross. I think VG is OK now, but I really don't feel like dishing out the $5.75 it costs here. But things changed as I lost my taste for animal fat and started thinking beyond veganizing the old recipes I knew. I truly think that the North American diet conditions us to develop a love of fat, sugar, and salt. You only have to see a kid get his first taste of chocolate to understand this. The first time I tasted Silk's soy nog I thought it was vile. The second time I thought, "hey, this is OK." Now, I think it is awesome. I still don't really go for a lot of vegan cheese, personally, but the kids like to have "real pizza." Even then, you really can't lay it on like dairy cheese.
This blog has proved to me just how diverse and tasty the vegetable world is. We have never eaten better in our entire lives and enjoy a wide array of foods and cuisines every week. Veganism is a very tangible thing I can do for the benefit of my health, the animals, and the planet.

On the Giving up of the Cheese

I have always hated melted cheese and the vegan stuff is gross. I had to make a recipe recently with Tofutti cream cheese and I will never buy it again. I hated regular cream cheese, so I hope hubby might eat this. I won't.
I am not 100 % vegan. I have an occasional egg. I always buy from a local farmer who I trust-so they are unfertilized. About 10 years ago, I was very ill (I was told I had stomach cancer but they were wrong-I had perforated ulcers.) I did not eat solid food for 5 months, and when I was finally able to get a bite down, it was a quarter of a boiled egg. I only use them when I need to. I actually prefer raw veggies but that isn't cheap here in Michigan unless I can buy in bulk at Costco. Now I live with a guy who eats anything BUT his veggies, so its a realy nutty place sometimes and he loves cheese. any kind and any style. I try to compromise here with him-I will not cook raw animal flesh for him and he has to eat what I make in the house or he goes without. He knows where the slaughter houses are (Outback and Famous Dave's). If we eat out, I sometimes get salads that they always put cheese on and I just pick it off and put it on his plate. I am afraid to order anything not raw in diners because the one place I loved had veggie soup and one day the manager came out and said I was gonna be pissed and he told me the veggie soup had pork in it-all along. Even after I saw a label I was stunned. I thought they made it themselves. So I eat lots of salads and plain veggies but this is not a great town for anything other than meat. It's very blue collar-wish I lived in Ann Arbor-I can feast when I am there and Royal Oak is good too. Just keep those nasty mushrooms to yourselves-they send me to the ER every time. Okay, I am roasting garlic to go on my bread. It smells good over my cursing at the Pistons and Tigers.

Thank you for this post! I am working my way into veganism primarily for health reasons. I've been a vegetarian for over 1/2 my life and I never thought I'd be giving up the dairy. Researching a chronic digestive problem I had I realized dairy was the problem and within 3 days of omitting it my flare up (which 2 medications weren't "fixing") was over, and I refuse to take medication for now. I thought I would miss cheese but the rare times I've had it in the past 3 months it tastes strange. I've also noticed that things I used to eat with cheese taste different, I can pick out other flavors, good flavors! I don't know how I stumbled upon your blog, but I'm glad I did. I look forward to the delicious meals you make to inspire me to try out new things. You didn't mentioned "cheeses" from the Uncheese cookbook, but I assume you like those because I see you use them often (said book is currently being shipped to me after reading about it on your blog). This was probably more information then you care to read, but please continue to post. You let me know that vegan's do live blandly :D

Thanks for this.
My husband and I have been vegetarian since we were about 15 years old (we're 32 now) and recently made a full time commitment to veganism after wavering somewhere between "free-gan" and "cheese monger" for quite some time.
I read Disease Proof You Child and bought Veganomicon and have been so pleasantly surprised at the newfound joy I have for cooking for our family. Our 6 year old is having a hard time giving up Mac N Cheese (he LOATHES the Mac N Chreese stuff) but otherwise it's going so perfectly.
Having a new baby forced me to examine my ethics and our diet more closely. What was I saying by turning the other way when it comes to the treatment of dairy cows? I only had to read a small fragment of information (as a nursing mother myself) to find the tremendous hole in my ideals. Not to mention the horrific reality of a diet rich in dairy/animal fats. Ew!
The biggest issue we face at this time is school, friends, and family, who think we are nut-jobs. I am constantly in awe of the fact that the same people who will serve up a double cheeseburger to a 3 year old, will call a vegan child of the same age who eats a plant based diet "malnourished." Weird logic!
Anyway, we always look forward to your nightly posts, thank you!

Great post.....our evolution to veganism was quite the same as yours. Honestly, once I made up my mind to do it, I didn't find it difficult at all. Although, my hubby and 1 daughter still consume dairy occassionally outside the home. I try to inform my kiddos of my reasons for making the change, and not be too hard on them when they order a quesadilla from a restaurant, or ask for cheese pizza when we go out. I figure being strict about it will just end in a bad way. They have for the most part embraced my values, and avoid all meat, and most eggs and dairy (in so much as a 4 year old can determine there is eggs and dairy in something....I mean, when faced with a birthday cake that doesnt' overtly have eggs and dairy, she's not going to turn it down, ya know??)
Anyway, I think it's great what you have done for yourself, your family, and the environment. Keep up the good work and keep spreadin' the vegan love!!

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your blog. Both my daughters are vegetarians. One eats dairy and one is vegan. I don't cook meat at home. I am eating vegetarian also but sometimes fall off the wagon and eat meat out. I just crave it every now and then. I struggle every day to figure out dinner. Your blog is an inspiration. The dinner decision is stressful everyday.

Thanks for sharing your thinking on this. I deluded myself for many years of vegetarianism about why eating cheese was okay. Quesadillas were my go-to food at least weekly when I needed a quick, filling meal. But after about a year of educating myself on vegan cooking and reading blogs such as yours, I went vegan about 3.5 months ago and have been extremely happy with my decision. Thanks for posting all the delicious looking recipes too; you really help people see that veganism is doable without feeling denied.

I think we are the only species that consumes the milk of another. Cheese is most difficult to give up because, as mentioned, it tastes so good (salt & oils) and melts in a unique way. But the bad outweighs the good when it comes to the health problems cheese consumption can bring about and that should inspire abandonment. I find the Tofutti singles satisfactory on veggie burgers, nutritional yeast flakes for the Parmesian effect, and Amy's soy cheese pizza is pretty good. I am anxious to try 'Sheese" & "Teese" very soon.
Thanks for the excellent blog Daddy-o!

Your post was so interesting and I'd like to thank you as well. I gave up meat and dairy for health and weight issues as well as the obvious ethical ones and I know it is the right choice. Instead of thinking of the food I don't eat, I love the food I do.
Now that I'm slimmer and healthier, I know veganism is a great choice for life.
BTW, hope your feeling better now!!

Great post! I agree with you, that once the dairy is out of your diet, you start to notice so many other flavors in plant based foods. I don't rely on cheese substitutes because I enjoy all of the other new flavors, but yes, they are fun every once in a while.
Thanks for sharing!

what a wonderful post! thank you! my spouse and i became vegans just this past january. about 6 months before that we only ate meat about once a week. once we went vegan - there was no turning back. besides all the awesome foods we make, fruits & veggies we enjoy, etc - one thing my spouse has noticed is that since being vegan he has no need for his allergy or asthma medication. he used to take a "singular" and an "allegra" every night before bed - now he doesn't need them - and hasn't bothered to refil his prescriptions either! who knew veganism was so darn awesome!?! :D thanks again for another great post! and for sharing your thoughts and reasons for be'n vegan!

Thanks for this post!
So I guess the short answer is, you just do it.
I may be ready. I have eaten less and less cheese as I've gone more and more vegan, and it is to the point where things that I once loved and craved seem weird and excessive to me (toast with cheese, pizza, etc).
And now I am having digestive issues which may (although not 100% sure) be the result of dairy.
But I am still unsure of crossing the last line, the line of tasting small amounts of really good cheese every now and then (and of hassle-free eating out). I truly do love good cheese; there's nothing else like it. I never felt that way about meat, it was just a reasonably good thing that was part of my diet. And with eating it quite rarely, the health argument is not convincing for me since most of my diet is already plant food.
So that's where I'm having difficulties. But only I can overcome them, and I think at this point it's largely a matter of making a choice and sticking to it.

My philosophy is that you need to do what is best for you. The only person you are accountable to is yourself. Follow your own conscience. Many times I think we vegans try to "out-vegan" one another. We try to become 7th-level vegans (i.e. we don't eat anything that casts a shadow) and sneer at those who eat honey, or a bite of cheese, or whatever. Any step towards a plant-based diet is a step in the right direction.

It's so interesting. I think many of us that are vegans now went through the struggle of giving up cheese. I never ate eggs even when I was just vegetarian, so that wasn't much of an issue for me.
I think someone else mentioned suddenly tasting other flavors in food that you used to put cheese on. I've had the same revelation. I bought some fake cheese about a year ago and had no idea what to do with it. I'd trained myself out of even considering using it. I still am not such a fan of the fake cheese. Even the vegan stuff isn't really all that good for you. Still full of fat and oils, but at least not the animal kind. I do admit to loving the McVegan and recently getting on a grilled "cheese" kick, however. ;)
For me, giving up cheese actually opened up my world. VWAV was my first vegan cookbook, too. I suddenly was thinking about food in an entirely different way. No longer was I constructing meals laden with cheese or revolving around those meat substitutes that are so prevalent in the states. I eat more veggies, feel better and got rid of some digestion issues I had been having. Score!
Also - I hope you feel better soon!

I thought giving up cheese (which I loved) would be the hardest part of going vegan... but surprisingly, I didn't miss it at all. And now 6 months later I think it smells really vile. I don't mind some of the faux cheeses on the market (though I eat them very rarely) and there's not much else that can't be done with nooch!

thank you! you always make so much sense. alexis needs a blog too lol! you can stick to the recipes, alexis can to the "going vegan" bit.
also, i think your sidebar is a little discouraging. you point out the cons of not being vegan, but no pros of being vegan. it totally puts the omnis off.
maybe adding the nutritional info for a good vegan meal? or adding a positive or funny youtube video? like steven the vegan- he's HILARIOUS! check him out

First of all, I just came across your blog and I am SO excited to look through the recipes and pictures. Awesome. I'm considering pretending to be sick so I can leave work early, go home, and make the chicken wings, both the hot and the sweet & sticky.
Secondly, if your kids still want "regular" pizza, there's a new vegan cheese available called Daiya. I kid you not, it is awesome. It melts. Seriously. And stretches. And tastes really good. They have italian and cheddar shreds, I usually get them at Whole Foods but I know you can buy online as well.
Okay, I'm off to look at more pictures now. =)

I'm a very new Ubuntu user, I tried using Ubuntu 12.10 desktop form a USB stick and found it interesting.
I wanted to install it along with my Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. I have 290.3 GB hard disk which is split into 3 partitions. They are 200 GB, 50 GB and 40 GB in size. The 200 GB partition has my Windows files and the 50 GB partition is totally empty. So I thought I'd use the 50 GB partition for Ubuntu.
Is that 50 GB one big enough? Is it too big? Which partition should I use? And how do I partition it?

Packaging: Menasha Corp. receives Business Friend of the Environment Award
June 10, 2011 - MMH Editorial
Menasha Corporation and its companies, Menasha Packaging and ORBIS Corporation, earned the prestigious Business Friend of the Environment Award for their commitment to sustainable practices.

Double-Sided Gaffers Tape
Fluorescent / Neon Gaffers Tape
Low-Gloss Gaffer-Style Duct Tape
Spike Gaffers Tape
Specialty Gaff Tape (Striped, Glow, Camo, Etc.)
Standard Black & Colored Gaffer Tape
Zone-Coated Cable Path Tape
A few sample applications include lighting/sound crew work, set construction/wardrobe, general purpose floor marking and cable hold down, bookbinding, bus seat repairs, wrapping camera bodies and waterproof packaging and sealing.
Gaffer's tape has a matte finish vinyl coated cloth backing instead of a lower cost polyethylene coated cloth backing like duct tape. Gaffers tape, also referred to as gaff tape or gaffa tape, has a specially formulated residue-free rubber adhesive that is preferred by theater, studio, and audio visual personnel. Since there is no sticky adhesive left behind, it is often used to hold and position stage scenery & props, lighting, microphones, cables and wiring. Gaffers tape is also tearable by hand and waterproof. To label and seal film canisters and to mark stages, narrower cut gaffers called spike tape is applied. The vinyl coating on the gaffer tape backing allows for direct printing by pen, pencils, and markers which makes the gaffer tape an extremely versatile product. The tape is often referred to as a production expendable because it is typically discarded after the production process is complete.

How can I capture two simultaneous shots using two cameras and two cameramen? For example I want to capture one person throwing a frisbee while the other person is chasing it down. I'm not trying to capture both images in the same photo, I want them separate. And the thing is, I'm trying to capture the exact same moments in each still. One camera would have to be the camera shooting away while the other camera is just in position to take the right shots. Any ideas?
If at least the remote camera supports a wired remote release, then you can use the PocketWizard system (or a similar radio trigger -- several support remote camera firing as well as flash triggering) to do the job, plus-or-minus all of those factors that go into shutter lag. If both cameras support wired remote releases and neither needs to be set into any special mode to use the wired remote, then each of the cameras can be used to trigger the other if you want -- but that would probably be a weird experience for both photographers rather than just for the voice-activated tripod guy you're envisioning.

Some questions for Hagel
WASHINGTON — Senate hearings on the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be Defense secretary will be a distinctive Washington entertainment, a donnybrook without drama. He should be confirmed: Presidents are due substantial deference in selecting Cabinet members because they administer presidential policies and, unlike judicial appointments, they (usually) leave when their nominators do.
Hagel will be confirmed because Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., after hesitating theatrically enough to propitiate supporters of Israel, of whom there are many among his constituents, will not oppose Hagel. Opposition would end Schumer's hope to make the nation nostalgic for Harry Reid by succeeding him as Senate Democratic leader.

Actions to Counter Terrorism
From September 2001 to May 2003:
More than 300 terrorist suspects were arrested.
About 100 suspects were referred to the courts to stand trial.
Over 1,000 suspects were questioned.
Since May 2003:
Over 130 individuals with suspected ties to terrorism have been arrested.
Over the course of the arrests security officers also seized large quantities of high explosives, automatic rifles, bomb-making materials and devices, false identity cards and documents, and large amounts of cash.
Specific Cases:
Yousif Salih Fahad Al-Ayeeri, a.k.a. Swift Sword, a major Al-Qaeda operational planner and fundraiser, was killed on May 31 while fleeing from a security patrol.
Ali Abdulrahman Said Alfagsi Al-Ghamdi a.k.a. Abu Bakr Al-Azdi, surrendered to Saudi authorities. Al-Ghamdi, considered one of the top Al-Qaeda operatives in Saudi Arabia, is suspected of being one of the masterminds of the May 12 bombings in Riyadh.
Turki Nasser Mishaal Aldandany, another top Al-Qaeda operative and mastermind of the May 12 bombings, was killed along with three other suspects in a gun battle with security forces that had them surrounded.
Three clerics, Ali Fahd Al-Khudair, Ahmed Hamoud Mufreh Al-Khaledi and Nasir Ahmed Al-Fuhaid, were arrested after calling for support of the terrorists who carried out the Riyadh attacks.
International Cooperation
Saudi Arabia and the United States maintain a Counter-Terrorism Committee comprised of intelligence and law enforcement personnel who meet regularly to share information and resources and develop action plans to root out terrorist networks.
In May 2003 a new U.S.-Saudi team was organized from across law enforcement and intelligence agencies to work side by side to share "real time" intelligence and conduct joint operations.
Also in May 2003, Saudi authorities worked closely with U.S. and British law enforcement agents who came to the Kingdom to assist in the investigation of the Riyadh attacks.
Saudi Arabia has provided extensive intelligence and military cooperation in the assault on Al-Qaeda. Public disclosures to date have revealed major Saudi contributions to the breakup of a number of Al-Qaeda cells, the arrests of key Al-Qaeda commanders, and the capture of numerous Al-Qaeda members.
In 2002, Saudi Arabia asked Interpol to arrest 750 people, many of whom are suspected of money laundering, drug trafficking, and terror-related activities. This figure includes 214 Saudis whose names appear in Interpol's database in addition to expatriates who fled Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is engaging other countries to locate and extradite Al-Qaeda operatives who may be hiding in those countries.
Actions Taken in the Financial Area
Saudi government departments and banks are required to participate in international seminars, conferences and symposia on combating terrorist-financing activities. Saudi Arabia has hosted many such events; and is a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) established by the G-7 in 1988.
Saudi Arabia completed and submitted two FATF self-assessment questionnaires: one regarding the 40 FATF recommendations on the prevention of money laundering and the other regarding its eight special recommendations on terrorist financing.
Saudi Arabia has established a High Commission for oversight of all charities, contributions and donations.
A special Financial Intelligence Unit was established to ensure that funds are not misdirected into the hands of those who would use them to harm others.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States took steps to freeze the assets of a close bin Laden aide, Wa'el Hamza Julaidan, who is believed to have funneled money to Al-Qaeda.
In March 2002, the U.S. Treasury Department and Saudi Arabia blocked the accounts of the Somalia and Bosnia branches of the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation. While the Saudi headquarters for this private charity is dedicated to helping those in need, it was determined that the Somalia and Bosnia branches supported terrorist activities and terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda and AIAI (al-Itihaad al-Islamiya). In May 2003, Saudi Arabia asked the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation and all Saudi charities to suspend activities outside Saudi Arabia until a security clearance mechanism to screen all personnel is implemented. The Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation has closed its offices in Croatia, Albania and Ethiopia while moves are under way to close others in Kenya, Tanzania, Indonesia and Pakistan.
In February 2003, SAMA began to implement a major technical program to train judges and investigators on legal matters involving terror financing and money-laundering methods, international requirements for financial secrecy, and methods followed by criminals to exchange information.
Also in May 2003, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) distributed a circular entitled Rules Governing Combating Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorist Financing to all banks and financial institutions in the Kingdom requiring the full and immediate implementation of nine new policies and procedures that relate to accounts of charitable and welfare institutions.
In June 2003, the Consultative Council approved new legislation that puts in place harsh penalties for the crime of money laundering and terror financing. The law consists of 29 articles and stipulates jail sentences of up to 15 years and a fine of more than $1.5 million for anyone laundering money through charities. Other money-laundering offenses are punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a fine of $1.3 million.
Saudi Arabia has investigated many bank accounts suspected of having links to terrorism and has frozen 41 accounts belonging to 7 individuals that totaled $5,697,400.85.
America and Saudi Arabia face a common terrorist threat, and we appreciate the strong, continuing efforts of the Saudi government in fighting that threat.

Has anyone defined what it means for a modular operad to be Koszul, or what the Koszul dual of a modular operad is? In particular, is it meaningful to say that a modular operad is quadratic? Merkulov, Markl and Shadrin (Wheeled PROPs, graph complexes and the master equation) give a definition for wheeled properads, which are basically modular operads with oriented edges, which are constrained to have at most one output.
Presumable the role of bar-cobar duality is then played by the Feynman transform and the dual Feynman transform.

I've seen a lot of recipes that call for a "scoop" of vanilla sugar. I know that this refers to the little scoop that comes with most vanilla sugar containers. However, I live in a country that sells vanilla sugar in little paper packets... How much is a "scoop" of vanilla sugar in tea- or tablespoons?
Some recipes will note 1 scoop of vanilla sugar is required and also somewhere else mention the measurement to be 1 serving size. So for example, 1 Serving of Vanilla sugar would generally be two Tablespoons as seen in the recipe below from here :
"...a little whole wheat flour, a scoop of vanilla sugar, a bit of baking powder, and a pinch of salt."
enough milk, coconut water or milk substitute until desired consistency oil or butter for the pan
To Garnish
sliced strawberries (enough for pancakes and to garnish) 1/4 c sour cream + sugar (I used rose) to taste brandy syrup (boil 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 c water until dissolved, add 1/2 c brandy, cook 5 min to cook out harsh alcohol flavor)
Although this may vary from one recipe to another, I would recommend if the measurement is not explicitly provided looking for other recipes for similar dishes which call for the same ingredient. Reasoning for this would be since it is not outlined, it is probably meant to be considered the common measurement of that ingredient.
I ended up measuring the scoop spoon the next time I was in the US, and it turned out to be 1 Tablespoon.

Sencha Touch Contest question
Was pretty excited as I was planning on building an app thats basically a wine review and cellar tracker, but I saw this:
"Cannot promote alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of any of the foregoing), any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous, or any particular political agendaor message;"
I'm guessing thats a no-go for me submitting then? I understand you don't want political, controversial, or trashy stuff - but a wine-review app is pretty mainstream.
10 Oct 2010 10:03 PM #2
Wine trackers are good
A cellar tracker is just fine. These terms are intended to bar apps that tell you how long it takes you to down a beer funnel...
12 Oct 2010 11:32 AM #3
How about an app that encompasses various homebrewing related calculators and information?

Chart News
Charlene Soraia's single, 'Wherever You Will Go (featured on the current Twinings TV ad), continued its ascent up the UK Official Singles Chart landing the No. 7 spot this weekend. It certainly has momentum as it continues to climb the iTunes singles chart, now comfortably owning the No. 3 spot.
Whilst many will appreciate Charlene's beautiful voice on 'Wherever You Will Go', it is worth noting that she is a highly accomplished guitarist. Born in Sydenham to hardcore hippy parents, Charlene first picked up a guitar at the tender and impressionable age of 5.
Charlene's love of the guitar is influenced by the experimental sounds of 60's psychedelia, intricate jazz guitarists and deep love of prog rock. She has developed a distinctive fret flexing style that is incredible to listen to and mesmerizing to watch. She will be performing live on the following dates:

Do you like intensity? Good – meet south London's most abrasive musical prospect, Drop Out Venus.
This video, for their debut release 'Love In Vein', shows them at their softest, sweetest side, which is saying something 'cos it's still as tense as the waiting room in hell. But it's nonetheless 100% compelling.
They've been playing sporadic shows at the delectably seedy New Cross Inn for a few months now, shows we've caught several times. Without wishing to blow their cover completely – cos they are still very much an evolving entity, we feel – the gigs have included: Flying guitars, a frontwoman with the most piercing eyes in London rock (just pipping Savages' Jehn), some people who may or may not be in the local mafia, chav fights and Barry from Eastenders.
Edge of the seat stuff, every time, basically - and a hell of a lot more rewarding than your average buzz gig.
The band play our stage at Brighton's Great Escape on May 12, on the same bill as Eagulls, Milk Music and DZ Deathrays. But before then they release 34 – thirty-four – demos as something called 'Tapeheart'. See here for more.
And see them live here:
1st May Electricity Showrooms, London
5th May Brixton Windmill, London
12th May Horatios, Brighton (Radar Stage at Great Escape)
18th May Birthdays, London
27th May The Waiting Room, London

"Yes", a link does exist between exercise and happiness. Numerous studies have shown that exercise increases the body's production of endorphins and antibodies ---both which tend to lead to feelings of happiness. And "yes", exercise can activate the brain's pleasure circuit. And so, like nicotine, caffeine, food or gambling, it can become a substrate for addiction. So when does exercise become a virtue vs. a vice? And when does it cross the line from healthy to unhealthy? From trained to overtrained?
As avid cyclists we have all experienced an "endorphin high" -- that increase in stamina, that reduction in pain and that over all feeling of being able to accomplish most anything in any given moment (leap tall buildings in a single bound…). It is well known that exercise alters mood states and is considered vital for maintaining mental fitness, and reducing stress. Studies also show that it is very effective for reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration, and at enhancing overall cognitive function.
However, it is also well documented that symptoms such as concentration and memory problems and cognitive complaints are common in individuals experiencing overtraining syndrome. When questioned, athletes were found to consistently report elevations in negative moods (tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion) and decreases in the positive mood of vigor during periods of rigorous training. More recently assessments indicate that mood state exhibits a predictable dose–response relationship with training; as training increases - so do negative mood states and feelings of vigor decrease.
Now you may be saying "I'm not an athlete - so I can't be overtrained"! Well, Overtraining Syndrome (OTS) reflects the body's attempts to cope with both physiological and other stressors. In fact several studies have revealed that OTS represents the sum of multiple life stressors, such as physical training, sleep loss, exposure to environmental stresses (e.g., exposure to heat, high humidity, cold, and high altitude), occupational pressures, change of residence, and interpersonal difficulties. Sound like your average nine to fiver who just wants to ride their bike? Well it turns out that managing "life", "work" and "training" can push any recreational exerciser into overreaching and /or overtraining.
So for now to "be happy" - 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 3-5 days a week seems to be the most effective dose.
Tomorrow watch for more on preventing, diagnosing and treating OTS.

[FIXED-40] Can't Open Saved Project
- Created a project with 2 components (pretty basic forms, one with a grid...)
- Closed Ext.Designer
- Opened Ext.Designer telling it to open my project .. blank screen shown (no components..)
- Closed Ext.Designer
- Opened Ext.Designer, choosing new project, clicked open project (selected mine)
- Got error... see screen shots
PS: This happened in front of my boss this morning, who isn't very happy with our purchase of 5 licenses at the moment, especially after asking why it says trial when we paid for it and I had to explain because they hadn't gotten around to registering the license with our account yet.
Nothing in the project file was overly complex... a couple simple field seats with fields in them. One Grid...
26 Mar 2010 4:48 AM #2
UPDATE: I managed to open the project by first opening the xds file in a text editor and removing the second component.
PS: this does not mean is bug is solved or fixed. If I can create two components in teh editor, I should be able to save the project and then reopen it.

Could you please post or send your xds file to me in a private message for me to replicate?
We will take a look at the issue to get it addressed.Aaron Conran

I recently re-watched Tarzan and his Mate (1934), and the surprisingly violent content in it reminded me of a couple of fragmented images that I would like to track down from other Tarzan films.
The first is of a tank disguised as a dinosaur/dragon, and used by the white antagonists to terrify the 'natives' (and which also terrified my young self).
The second is of explorers who fall foul of the locals and are tied to trees that have been forcibly bent into 'X' shapes - and which are then unbound, thus springing back to upright and neatly tearing the victims in half. Very gruesome, I agree, and a powerful image that has stayed with me for many decades.
I have no other recollections from either film, sorry.
Are these elements from Johnny Weismuller Tarzan films (or even Ron Ely's TV show), and if so, can you identify the films?

I sometimes give roughly the same course in different languages, and update my TeX notes (if any) each time. Keeping all sets of notes current is a pain (and doesn´t always get done). Does anybody know of a system for keeping and updating the same math document in different languages? The text would vary and the math would be the same, except for eventual changes in order due to differences in sentence structure.

First, a parable: A man comes to a doctor and says: Doctor, it hurts when I do THAT. The doctor replies: Well, then don't do THAT!
In this case, why don't you give the lectures in the appropriate language, but keep the notes in, say, English? Unless you give many talks in elementary schools in Albania, I am sure your listeners know how to read English.

Enjoy our à la carte meals. Tasty intermezzo.
Sansibar is the name of one of the most famous restaurants on the island of Sylt. Prospective diners usually have to reserve a table weeks in advance.
The wine from Sansibar is also in great demand throughout Germany. The fact is that this restaurant, nestling in the dunes, also happens to be one of the best wine merchants in the country. Sansibar wine is available on board airberlin flights as well: a flawless Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and a Cuvée, a blend of two red grape varieties. They are both produced by Markus Schneider, a top vintner from the Pfalz (Palatinate) region.
Our hot on-top meals are now also served under the flag of Sansibar. The restaurant's host Herbert Seckler is already busy creating the delicacies that our flight attendants will be serving on board our flights.
On all airberlin routes with a flight time between 60 minutes and 6 hours we can also offer freshly prepared gourmet meals designed by Sansibar.
New: Gourmet meals can be ordered in advance on many long-haul flights.

Collaborate is NAU's web conferencing tool. Presenters can deliver slide shows, visit websites, demonstrate application programs, and even share control of the mouse. Collaborate supports text chat, audio, and video. You can use Collaborate either as a stand-alone tool, or as an in-course tool. Collaborate is powerful, but it takes a little practice to become proficient. We recommend that new users attend a training session or practice on your own before you use it for an important virtual meeting or classroom activity. If you will be hosting a virtual meeting, we recommend joining your session ten to fifteen minutes ahead of the scheduled start time so that you can welcome people as they arrive, and help them get set up. If you will be joining (but not hosting) a virtual meeting, it's still good to arrive at least five minutes before the meeting is scheduled to start so that you can test your audio and video.
1. Setting up Sessions:
- If you are the host (moderator) of the session, you will need to set up the session in advance and share the link to the session with participants.
- If you will be joining a session set up by somebody else, you can skip ahead to Section 2 below.
1a. Stand-alone sessions:
If you don't need Bb Learn, log into the NAU Portal (my.nau.edu) to set up a session. Click on the Resources and Tools menu. Create your session in the Blackboard Collaborate module by clicking on the Schedule Session button.
Next, click on the session you created and you will see the session details. Copy the Guest Link and distribute it to people who will be attending the session. To enter the session as Moderator, click the Launch Session button.
1b. In-Course Sessions:
For in-course sessions, select a course from Bb Learn's My Courses list. In the Course Management Control Panel on the lower left, click on the Course Tools menu and select Blackboard Collaborate.
Next, create a session using the Create Session button, or browse to a previously scheduled session. Note that there may be more than one page of sessions, so you may not see all of them initially. You can also access previously recorded sessions here, from the Recordings link.
After you scroll down and find the meeting you want to view, click on the link to get to the Room Details screen. Copy the Guest URL and share it with your students. Enter the room as Moderator by clicking the Launch Room button.
Note: Students do not have access to the Course Management Control Panel. You will need to ensure that they can access Collaborate from the Tools in their course menu. You can also add a Tool Link so that Collaborate shows up in the course menu, allowing them to browse the available sessions. Simplest of all for the students, you could add a direct link to the Collaborate Room using a Web Link, by simply pasting in the Guest URL and making sure the link is available to all users.
2. Launching Collaborate:
To join the session, click on the guest link you have been provided, either in your Bb Learn course or by an e-mail invitation. For example, try this link to my virtual offiice, which will remain active unti April 7, 2015. You will be asked to type your name, and should follow the on-screen prompts to enter the meeting. There are a number of things that you might need to do the first time you use Collaborate. For example, you should verify that Java is installed and is up-to-date. Mac users will also need to install the Collaborate Launcher. When you double-click on the guest link, a file called meeting.collab or join.collab will be downloaded by your web browser. If Collaborate does not launch automatically, find this file in your browser's downloads folder and double-click it. Each time a Collaborate session starts, a file of this type is downloaded. If there is more than one of these files in your downloads folder, they will be numbered join-2.collab, join-3.collab, etc. Open the one with the highest number (the most recent) in the name. You can delete these files after your session is over. If you have any trouble getting your system configured or launching Collaborate, please contact e-Learning's help desk (firstname.lastname@example.com, 523-5554) for assistance.
Double-click the join.collab file.
Type your name and click the Log In button.
Be patient. This can take a few seconds, especially on a slow connection.
If you reach this screen, everything is proceeding correctly.
Almost there...
You have successfully joined the meeting. Your name appears in the participants window.
3. Using Collaborate:
Ok, so you're in. Now what? You can listen to and view a presentation by the host and use the text chat area on the left to make comments or ask questions. That's a good place to start, while you learn the basic tools. If you want to speak, you will need to configure Collaborate for your microphone (see Audio Setup below). Most hosts/moderators are experienced Collaborate users and they will often guide new users on how to use the tools once they are in the session.
Collaborate's text chat area.
Tip: If you will be using Collaborate without a headset microphone, you may have minor issues with audio quality, including echo or feedback. An inexpensive USB headset mic will eliminate these problems and improve your audio quality.
USB headset mic.
Audio Setup: In Collaborate's Tools menu, choose Audio/Audio Setup Wizard...
Configure your sound input and output.
To speak, you have two options. You can click the Talk button below the video window and leave it depressed for a back and forth conversation but, if you're mostly listening, it's best to push Talk when you have something to say and then push Talk again when you're done so that Collaborate isn't picking up any background noise when you're just listening.
Video Setup: In Collaborate's Tools menu, choose Video/Camera Settings...
Video is working!

If one defines force as the time derivative of momentum, i.e. by
$$ \vec{F}= \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p} $$
how can this include static forces? Is there a generally accepted way to argue in detail how to get from this to the static case? If not, what different solutions are discussed?
Edit: I shoud add, that by static forces I mean forces involved in problems where bodies don't move.

The universe expanded from nothing, right? And black holes may be a "gate" to parallel universes, is it possible that stars that is being sucked in by black holes in our universe may be the origin of the energy in another universes "big bang"? Is there any theories that explains that?
Black holes are not really as exotic as popular media makes them out to be. Modern physics does not predict them to be "gateways" to other universes. Any matter that falls into a black hole gets crushed in the singularity at the center, and will remain there.
It's true that anything falling into a black hole becomes causally disconnected from the rest of the universe, but it's not correct to say that it enters a "different" universe.
The long-term future of all black holes is their eventual evaporation via Hawking radiation. In any case, the mass and energy before and after the black hole will remain in this universe.
