We were actually invited over to our friends' house for dinner tonight (the first time since we moved here in July!). I know that making vegan food can be daunting for omnis (hence our scant dinner invitations) but they served up a delicious meal of black bean enchiladas and salad, with chocolate pudding cake for dessert. What a treat! That means I did not cook a meal today, and I know I said I would post the risotto from yesterday, but I wanted to share today's culinary experiment instead. This pepperoni is totally amazing! You will never buy veggie pepperoni at the store again.

I need to get a steamer!
BTW, I made your tempeh burgers today for lunch (yum) and wrote about it on my blog-- hope you don't mind! I love reading your blog. I've spent more of my life as a vegetarian than an omni, and much of it as a vegan, but your blog has really inspired me to get more creative in the kitchen. So thank you!

Hi Vegan Dad,
I just stumbled upon your website. WOW, you have some amazing looking dishes!
I definitely will try this pepperoni recipe. I hope it's as good as you say.

Any idea how long this will keep in the fridge, or if it could be frozen?
Looks very yummy -- thanks for the inspiration, as always.
(You've also made me add Marsala & mushrooms to my shopping list.)

I have the extra pepperoni in the freezer right now (still in its foil wrapper) and I don't anticipate any problems. I froze and thawed the breakfast sausages I made last week--they tasted exactly the same. And, I think it would last in the fridge for quite a while. Just keep it wrapped up and slice as needed.

Perfect pepperoni. I have made the steamed sausages that Julie makes and we love them. I am going to try your recipe soon. I like the beans added to the recipe. :o)

Hi VeganDad,
To the best of my knowledge liquid smoke is not something particularly available in Australia.
Can you think of a sub that might work adequately?
Kind Regards
- March 18, 2008 at 1:27 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
I am not sure . . . maybe a hickory BBQ sauce (but more than a tsp)? Something to give a smoky flavour.

Any ideas of what can be substituted for the wheat gluten for those who are allergy to wheat? the pepporoni looks incredible. I love your site.
- March 29, 2008 at 9:57 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
I am afraid I don't know. Perhaps others more familiar with gluten-free cooking can help out. The only reason this recipe works is because of the gluten which firms up and takes on a meat-like texture.
- March 29, 2008 at 10:02 AM
- Jen said...
I just made this pepperoni, and it is great! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
To the person who can't find smoke flavor- maybe using smoked spanish paprika would work? It has a really nice smoky flavor. Not sure if you can get that either though!

I just made this recipe and am very disappointed. The problem is the pepperoni is extremely HOT (spicy). Yes, pepperoni is spicy but the flavor is usually mild unless it specifically states that it is HOT. I feel there should have been a note with the recipe regarding the heat - that it is hotter than mild. I am surprised that there is no mention of this. If there was, then I would have cut the amount of pepper in half. As I was making it, I thought it seemed to be alot of pepper to the 1 1/4 cup of gluten (especially the 1 tsp. of crushed red pepper flakes). I have never had pepperoni (regular or vegetarian) that was this hot and don't think that it can be compared to any store bought vegetarian pepperoni because the latter is not this spicy.
- June 20, 2008 at 5:49 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
You are the first to be displeased with the recipe. But, the solution is simple: use less pepper next time. I will amend the recipe above to warn of spiciness.
- June 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM
- Christina said...
Okay, so I made a second batch and used less than half the amount of red pepper and cayenne pepper. Now I like it! I have to say, I really, really like the texture that is produced by steaming. I have used the boiling and baking methods, but I really think steaming is the best. I plan on using this recipe often but will try different seasonings so that it's not always the same taste. I would love to make a "beefy" flavored version of this and saute it with some peppers and onions.
- June 21, 2008 at 9:15 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
I am glad it all worked out! I am wondering if my pepper flakes are getting old and have lost their spiciness.

Just made my first batch of this today and it's great (I've got stop slicing pieces off or there'll be one left for tonight's pizzas).
I thought the spiciness was perfect for my taste buds. The only change I might make next time is to used smoked Hungarian paprika instead sweet Hungarian paprika.
Thanks for another great recipe.

Back again.
Although totally edible and very tasty, it turns out that my pepperoni is rubbery and chewy.
I've made dozens of sausages, cutlets etc without a texture like this and have never needed to experiment with seiten recipes so my experience level is low.
Now I'm using Aussie metric measurement cups etc and am wondering if a little more olive oil or a shorter steaming time might fix the rubbery texture.
Ron (Australia)
- September 6, 2008 at 2:03 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
Not reallt sure why these would turn out rubbery. It is the same recipe as all my other sausage recipes, but with different spices. Perpelxing.

- Reni said...
This was awesome, just like your brats. Just two questions if you get a chance in your busy day/night.
Did you add anything to get a red colour? I used Spanish paprika instead of regular, maybe that was why mine wasn't red.
Also, do you puree the beans? I find that even when mashing, there are some half beans that end up in the final log.
Thanks for sharing your great recipes. :) (any chance you will try salami in the future?)
- October 31, 2008 at 10:42 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
You could puree the beans if you find mashing does not breakthem down enough. I just find it finicky to puree 1/2 cup of beans. As for the colour, I rely just on the paprika and cayenne. It's really kind of a red/tan colour--I think the lighting in the picture makes it look more red.

Hello Vagan Dad,
Just found your site. Love it! I too am a Vegan who likes my meat substitutes.
The pepperoni was spicy, I will most likely dial down the pepper. I used regular kidney beans and liked the red flecks it produced.
I changed the texture a bit as the finished product was tasty, but a bit rubbery. So, I fried the slices up a bit in a skillet sprayed with olive oil. This toughened them up a bit and made the texture even more believable when we bit into it tonight on our pizza.
Thanks for a GREAT blog.

I have made steamed sausages before with much success but these pepperoni came out squishy. They seemed too wet when I put them in the foil. Do you have a suggestion if the dough seems wet...should I add more vital wheat gluten, or would that make it too gluteny? Should I add flour instead? Should I simply steam it for longer?
- April 19, 2012 at 8:45 PM
- Unknown said...
Lori Lepelletier - I've also made lots of other steamed sausages with no trouble and I had the same problem with squishiness in this one. Even after I tried adding another tbsp or so of gluten to the very wet dough. I'm trying chilling the pepperoni for a while to see if it firms up, and if not, I'll just try using less water next time I make them.

If your not vegan, it will not taste good. I am a vegetarian and am used to certain things, and usually I do not like vegan food, and this is no exception. The pepperoni smells and tastes like a chemical, I know it's the wheat gluten, but still I was not expecting this. I got my hopes ups and spent $10-$15 on this pepperoni only to throw it all away, a complete waste. If you love vegan food and think it tastes good, you MIGHT like this, but all these good reviews on here will give you the wrong idea and give you false hope of it tasting good. Save your time and your hopes and efforts for something else.
- September 24, 2012 at 6:18 PM
- Travis said...
Please do not listen to the the above post! "a_jedson" admits to you that they don't like most Vegan food and then post a whiny comment on a very nice blog.
I've been following Vegan Dad for years, and yes, sometimes his recipes did not turn out perfectly the first time for me, but it was always because I needed to pay more attention to my mixing/steaming process. Not the recipe's fault at all.
Speaking for myself here, I appreciate him and his efforts to share great recipes and make them available to all of us who want to eat an animal free/ plant based diets. In my diet I eat "mock" meats because I was raised on them, It's a familiar pallet pleaser.
SUGGESTION: I find that when I make his pepperoni, I slice it thin into ovals and dry fry it in a teflon pan. It helps make it more like the texture of pepperoni and on pizza or a sandwich (I make a "P"LT) it is very good!!!
Keep up the great work Vegan Dad, Thank you!

- Jenn Kraus said...
This was s great recipe the way it was written. I added about 2 tblsp of tomato paste the second time and steamed longer the second time around. Gave it more of an "Italian" taste and a redder color. The texture firmed up with the longer cooking.

2010 Dodge LC22R Challenger Drag Pak - Retro Racer RevealedWritten by on April 19, 2011 You paid 40 grand for that? It looks like a recovered theft from the police impound yard!
You paid 40 grand for that? It looks like a recovered theft from the police impound yard! Well, if you're talking about a 2009 or 2010 LC22R Drag Pak Challenger, know there are plenty of Mopar diehards who have lined up--$39,995 in hand--for a chance to own an example of Dodge's reborn, factory-built Super Stock drag car. No refugee from Midnight Auto Supply, the '10 Challenger LC22R Drag Pak picks up where the '65 Coronet WO21 and '68 LO23 Dart left off, Hemi power and all.
Thanks to big changes in motor vehicle certification laws in the decades since the last batch of factory Hemi drag cars were produced, the new Drag Pak isn't so much a car, as a parts group that comes wrapped in a fresh Stone White Challenger body shell. It'll be up to you to install a transmission, rear suspension and axle, exhaust headers and the rolling stock of your choice (none of it is included). And it isn't being sold as a new car. There is no warranty--or VIN for that matter, so you can forget about running it on the street. These are strip-only machines you buy through Mopar Direct Connection headquarters.
The 2010 edition featured here isn't the first of the breed. Records show there were two Drag Pak development mules built in 2008 before the program went official in 2009. That year, Mopar and the NHRA predicted that 100 would be built to meet the then-current NHRA minimum production requirements for vehicle eligibility in its Stock and Super Stock categories. For 2010, the minimum was dropped to 50 units and that's where our story begins.
Since 1966, Papa's Dodge of New Britain, Connecticut, has been an active Dodge dealership with a strong background in high performance. Operated today by Dom and Ken Papa, their massive indoor showroom is a veritable museum that mixes old and new in equal measures. Visitors can admire the latest Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep models, then turn around and see a classic '70 Challenger T/A, a Superbird, and other vintage muscle cars. It's a fun place to visit. Take the virtual tour at www.papasdodge.com.
When he first heard rumors of the new Challenger Drag Pak, Dom Papa knew he had to add one to the collection. Though he missed out on the 2009 production run, he was among the first in line for a 2010 model and got serial number three of the 50 to be built. Dom plans to keep it as-is rather than building it out and going racing. So let's take a day-one look at the third 2010 LC22R Drag Pak Challenger ever built.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
On February 9, 2010, Mopar formally announced the 2010 Drag Pak program to dealerships. On the top is Dom Papa's hand written application form that he returned to Mopar via FAX. Five months later, in July 2010, Dom was notified that his car had been completed and was ready for delivery. Dom says; "Even though it isn't a running, driving car like a new Challenger SRT8, this was a chance to get a real-deal factory drag car and add it to our collection. We're thrilled we got serial number three." To see a video of it being delivered to the dealership, click on www.papasdodge.com.Dom says he was "pleasantly surprised" by the Drag Pak's fit, finish, and paintwork. The cars are partially assembled at Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant then shipped to Roush Industries in Livonia, MI for further completion. The standard R/T trunk spoiler is not included on Drag Paks but some cars have been delivered with trunk lids sporting the pre-drilled mounting holes. The trunk lid on Drag Pak 2010003 is a base Challenger V-6 stamping, so it lacks the spoiler mounting holes. Since '09 and '10 Drag Paks are delivered minus fuel tanks, the hinged fuel filler door opens into the void of the trunk compartment.Someone's finger points to the Drag Pak's semi-finished roof panel joints. On regular production Challengers, a body colored plastic strip fills this gap.Just as the 1968 Hemi A-Bodies featured rectangular metal mirror delete plugs on the driver side door, 2010 Drag Paks utilize triangular plastic patches—secured by a trio of push-in buttons. They cover the holes left by the elimination of the standard Challenger dual rear view mirror assemblies.With a 3,200-pound shipping weight, the Drag Pak weighs about 1,000 pounds less than a standard production Challenger R/T. To save weight, the standard door glass is replaced with 3⁄16 thick clear polycarbonate plastic replicas. Supplied by Shields, they're treated with Supercoat to resist scratches. Contrary to reports stating the Drag Paks are delivered with the windows in the retracted position, Papa's car was delivered with both windows fully raised. Previous '65 and '68 Race Hemi package cars used breakage-prone Chemcor lightweight door glass.Challenger Drag Paks use a specific regulator unit which bears a sticker that reads: Challenger Drag Pkg. Car Door Module and displays part number P5MOPP319. Not visible are the marks left inside the door by the hand saw used to remove the adhesive-bonded inner door side impact brace tubes. This work was performed at Roush. Note the empty door speaker clearance hole. In true factory drag car tradition, these cars are strictly radio delete.The windshield and backlite are standard issue Mopar safety glass but are temporarily installed for shipping. This allows easy removal for rollcage fabrication. Drag Paks are delivered via enclosed trailers to keep the semi-bonded glass from blowing out during transportation. Both glass panels are marked with yellow dots indicating the location of small adhesive dabs. The rear side windows are also production-grade Mopar shatterproof glass.Riveted to the passenger side strut tower, every 2009 and 2010 Drag Pak features a laser-etched aluminum I.D. tag like this. Cars built in 2009 have serial numbers starting with 2009. This example is the third 2010 unit built and accordingly bears serial number 2010003. We haven't yet seen if Mopar has retained this identification system on the new $85,512 Viper V-10 powered Drag Pak Challengers for 2011.
No Bostrum A100 van seats here, Drag Paks feature two driver-side Viper bucket seats. The stock Challenger rear seat, hand brake assembly and center console are deleted. Roush enlarges the transmission tunnel to accommodate anything from a 727 TorqueFlite to a Jerico, but it's up to the purchaser to cut a shift handle access hole to suit his specific needs. The circular heater and A/C controls and dash outlets are dummies since the HVAC system is omitted to shave pounds.Unlike the 2009 Challenger Drag Paks (which shipped with an empty manual or automatic transmission case), 2010 Drag Pak Challengers are shipped without a transmission. The trio of lightweight pedals and the installation of a clutch slave cylinder identify number 2010003 as being intended for use with a manual transmission. 2010 Drag Paks ordered for competition in automatic drag classes do not have a clutch pedal and employ a wider brake pedal pad.While previous 1965 Coronet and 1968 Dart Race Hemi package cars required trunk-mount battery conversion kits, happily every new V-6, R/T, and SRT8 Challenger comes factory stock with a trunk mounted battery. No Drag Pak modifications are made to the stock tray though it's certainly too small for a vintage 100-pound Mopar Super Stock battery. This angle offers another view of the Roush-fabbed metal differential cover panel. The Brampton body plant intentionally minimized the application of seam sealer and sound insulation padding to reduce mass—and mess—during welding.Though some 2009 Drag Paks feature the 160-mph SRT8 speedometer, 2010 models use the stock Challenger 140-mph speedometer. None of the gauges function, and the steering wheel air bag (and all others) is deleted. Other deletions include thumb button stereo and cruise control stalk functions and the elimination of the column mounted turn signal indicator/windshield wiper switch assembly. At Roush, a separate Mopar Performance switch panel is installed in the place normally reserved for the stereo system.The rear seat area is intentionally arranged to ease rollcage fabrication. The rectangular cover panel over the rear axle hump is not OE Challenger architecture. Rather, the formed metal cover is provided to allow clearance for a Dana 60 live axle. Temporary rivets secure the cover for easy removal during race chassis fabrication. The open area between the interior and trunk compartment must be closed for NHRA compliance. All transmission tunnel, floor pan, and other chassis modifications to the unibody are performed by Roush personnel in Livonia, Michigan.Though 2009 Drag Paks were ostensibly offered with your choice of a 275hp 360 small-block (PN P5MOPP197), 305hp 5.7 Hemi (PN P5MOPP190) or 390hp 6.1 Hemi (PN P5MOPP189), the 2010 Drag Pak supplement sheet lists all of these engines plus a new 375hp 6.4 liter Hemi (PN P5MOPP794). However, a quick chat with Dave Hakim (one of the Drag Pak "chefs" during his tenure at Mopar Performance), confirms that the vast majority of 2009 and 2010 Drag Paks are equipped with the 6.1-liter Hemi shown here. Despite the 12.6:1 compression ratio and hot .584/.552 lift hydraulic roller cam, the NHRA rates the 6.1 Hemi at 390 hp (385 with manual transmission). Real world output is a tad higher.Shipped minus a transmission, the solid motor mounts safely balances the Hemi during delivery. The lightweight aluminum Moroso oil pan is notched to clear the removable (bolt-in) frame crossmember. The customer must source his own flywheel, clutch, blow shield, headers, etc. The paper plugs stuffed into the exhaust ports are newspaper scraps from the Thursday, November 26, 2009, edition of the Lexington, Kentucky, Herald.Worms eye view of the underbody shows where Roush personnel massaged the driveline tunnel for increased transmission, driveshaft, and rear axle clearance. All surgery scars are protected by a coat of white paint. Unlike the 2009 Drag Pak, the 2010 models ship without a dummy transmission so they lack the yellow temporary transmission support crossmember used in '09.
2009 Drag Pak Challengers were shipped with a stock rear suspension cradle—minus brakes, differential centersection, and axle half shafts. Since the entire unit was destined to be replaced by a live axle for drag racing, it was a wasteful scenario. For 2010, Chrysler simplified matters by substituting this temporary rear axle unit that's made by Al-Ko of Elkhart, Indiana, and is secured to the underbody by four bolts. The white paper sticker on the axle tube reads: "Shipping bracket only, discard." Again, note the Roush-modified axle hump area. It'll fit anything up to a Dana 60 rear axle.Another change for 2010 is the substitution of the Mark Williams front disc brakes (PN P5MOPP203) used in 2009 with similar items from Strange. Either way, they're several pounds lighter than the Challenger's stock 14.2-inch front disc brakes. It is up to the owner to plumb the entire brake system since no lines or hoses are provided.Many early 2009 Drag Pak Challengers rolled on Goodyear T175/90D17 temporary spare tires mounted on 17-inch gloss black steel rims with 18 small circular holes. Late 2009 cars and all 2010 deliveries switched to 15-inch utility trailer wheels fitted to ST205/75D15 Load Star K550 tires. Some of the rims are painted gray while others are white with red and blue pin stripes.The Drag Pak's '70 Challenger T/A inspired hood and scoop are rendered in lightweight carbon fiber. External air is channeled directly into the foam-sealed throttle-body pan via the square hole seen here. A larger hole would allow pressurized air to escape, degrading the ram effect. Thoughtfully, the 12 Dzus hold-down fasteners are supplied loose so they can be installed after the hood has been painted.A box in the trunk includes the items shown here. The stock Challenger wiring harness is included but is not intended for direct use. Rather, the instruction book suggests "harvesting" the terminal ends for use in the minimized race car electrical system.

Is there any method to take canned beans out of the jar without spoiling the beans, as they are kind of sticking on each other?
Even though this question seems a little trivial, I have had the same problem.
Usually the beans will come out with just gentle shaking. They won't budge at first but after the suction is broken they will descend and can be shaken out.
Occasionally I have had to use a spoon. You are right that if you just scoop them out you will mash many of them. If you just work the utensil along the side of the jar you can break the suction and they should shake free.
If you do mash them you can always finish the job and make refried beans out of them.

Bench Build - February 2014Written by Douglas R. Glad on January 15, 2014 Why Project Cars Take Forever
When is the Demon going to be done? I hear that from everyone; readers, management, sales guys, my mom. The guys who don't ask are usually the crusty wrenches that have many, many project cars under their belts. They know better. The hardest car to build is the one that is both fast and beautiful, and one you do yourself. Technology has allowed me to look back at the dates from every photo and video I've taken of the 1971 Dodge Demon project car all the way up to today. Here's the time line, I hope it answers the question, "Is it done?" Here's why it ain't.

A few posts ago, I shared the book All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks.This book is amazing for it taught me to redefine love as an action and not as an object to desperately yearn for or use as a bargaining chip. To put it in hooks words, "Love is as Love does" and "Love is a verb, not a feeling". In essence, if a parent, … [Read more...]

Seagate Backup Plus 3TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive for $129.99 + free shipping
coupon code: EMCNJNF33
Promo Code: EMCNJNF33
Model: STCA3000101
12 Comments add a comment
From the product page: What does "Up to 4TB capacity" mean if the drive size 3TB?
"Backup Plus from Seagate" Talking about the online backup program you can upgrade.
@galapogos: The series of drives offers up to a 4TB model. This one just happens to be 3TB.
$10 off w/ promo code EMCNJNJ56, ends 1/7 for the 4GB
Either way about <$50/TB
This is a great drive. I bought one at Costco on Black Friday for $99.00
First time I clicked the link it was $129. After that it's showing up as $149. shrug
Limit 5 per customer.
Read the comments on the New Egg site...not good for sure...many drive corruptions stated there.
@virtual1one: Did you use the Promo Code?
@downing9790: I'm always wary about the comments... Get a drive that's DOA & return it for a working one isn't the same as it being a bad unit that's going to eat your data.
I was fortunate to buy this drive for $99 and I am very pleased with it. My new PC has several 3.0 USB ports and I am finally able to take advantage of them. What a difference now with backups using this drive and the 3.0 port.
Looking for good deals on 3.0 flash drives now...
Picked this bad boy up at Amazon for 99 around black Friday.
3 tb. tons of storage haha.. can't imagine ever needing that much, but good deal

Unanswered: Blank Item for ComboBox
I'm trying to add a blank item to the top of a combobox. When added, the height of the item becomes only a few pixels high. I've fixed this in the past using setTemplate, although I see that this method has been removed from ComboBox in the version of GXT that I am using (beta3).
Is there a better way to deal with blank items, or another way to work around the issue?
2 May 2013 6:56 AM #2
Even I am facing the same problem. I would like the blank row to be in the same height as other rows. How to set the row height for blank item?
14 May 2013 1:38 AM #3
Use " " item insted of empty string.
16 May 2013 5:38 AM #4
I have a SimpleComboBox with a StirngLabelProvider. As per your suggestion I added " " to the combo box, but it lists down " " as an item, its not creating an empty row as expected. Am I missing anything?
SimpleComboBox<String> combo = new SimpleComboBox<String>(new StringLabelProvider<String>()); combo.add(" "); ..... .... combo.setTriggerAction(TriggerAction.ALL);

Modex 2012: Smoov automated storage solution introduced at Modex
Giovanni Noto, business development director for Smoov ASRV, introduced a new concept in automated storage at Modex.
February 06, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Smoov ASRV (Booth 4109), an Italian company specializing in the design and manufacture of automation systems for storage and handling, introduced a new automated storage system using storage vehicles that can maneuver pallets on the X,Y and Z axis.
"While we have a number of systems up and running in Italy, this is a new concept in the materials handling of palletized loads in North America," said Giovanni Noto, business development director.
While traditional AS/RS use cranes, the ASRV system employs a radio-controlled, high-speed vehicle dedicated to the storage, retrieval and handling of the loads.
The small units, known as ASRV or automated storage and retrieval vehicles, perform as a fleet, working together to satisfy the overall handling demand.
Compact and wireless, these ASRVs move autonomously to perform the assigned tasks managed by the control supervisor unit, gliding horizontally along rails that are inserted into the racking and vertically by means of a lift, to enable the storage and retrieval of loads inside the warehouse.
The ASRV can operate as a vehicle used for warehouse automation and for general materials handling applications, delivering impressive performances based on advanced features such as reliability, scalability and cost effectiveness.
When order volume increases, it can be expanded by adding more ASRVs, which are plug and play.
"The ASRV upsets the traditional logic of automation for intralogistics and materials handling to make it available to everyone," Noto said. "It can be applied to all environments, whether they are small, large or complex."
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

Choices: Gold-tone/Blue or Rose-tone/Brown (Case/Dial)
Celebrate cutting edge design and function in exquisite style. This Off Shore Anniversary Edition of Invicta's Russian Diver makes an impressive splash with a round stainless steel case in your choice of gold-tone or rose-tone set with a unidirectional rotating bezel and a canteen style crown protector.
Case color coordinating hour, minute and chronograph hands offer Tritnite accents and accurately indicate the time provided by the reliable Swiss Parts Ronda 5040.D Quartz Chronograph movement. The seconds subdial at 2:00 features a rotating wheel to show the time while the other two subdials have Tritnite accented hands matching the case color.
A sporty 26mm wide black polyurethane rubber strap with case color matching stainless steel barrel inserts on the sides secures with an Invicta logo decorated buckle clasp. The strap fits up to approximately a 9" wrist. This Russian Diver Off Shore Anniversary Edition timepiece ships out in an ultra-cool eight-slot red Invicta dive case.
Additional Features: Watch comes packaged in an Invicta eight-slot red dive case with instruction manual and warranty information.
To view the actual case size, Click Here.
Analog-Digital Display (ana-digi): Watch that shows the time by means of hour and minute hands (analog display) as well as by numbers (digital display).
Arabic Numerals: Popular counterpart to Roman numerals consisting of 1,2,3, etc; Became popular during the 18th century and typically allow for more space on the dial for complications.
ATM: Commonly used measurement in water resistance; Stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking; One atmosphere is equal to 10 meters of water pressure.
Automatic Movement: Type of movement where the mainspring is wound via the movement of one's own arm; Movement of the arm causes the rotor to rotate, which in turn winds the mainspring; Similar to mechanical movements, except winding is not manual.
Bezel: Retaining ring surrounding the case and securing the crystal; Sometimes incorporates unidirectional or ratcheting movements, as well as additional benefits such as chapter markers.
Case: Timepiece's container; Protects the movement from dust, dampness and injury; Common case shapes are round, tonneau, rectangular and square.
Chronograph: Timepiece capable of both timekeeping and stopwatch functions; Chronographs are a unique and valued complication due to their ability to measure increments of time.
Chronometer: High-precision timepiece that has been tested and is certified to meet precision standards; Chronometer watches often come with certificates indicating their certified status.
Complication: Any feature added to the timepiece that does not indicate hours, minutes or seconds. Popular complications include chronographs, tachymeters, date windows and exhibition backs.
Crown: Small, cap-like device located on the side of a case that allows the user to set time or manually wind watch.
Crystal: Transparent cover on a watch face that gives view of the dial; Sapphire and mineral are the most common crystals used today.
Date Window: Reveals the numeric day of a given month.
Deployant: Type of clasp that keeps the closing mechanism hidden, creating an uninterrupted look for your bracelet or strap.
Dial: Plate beneath the crystal showcasing the timepiece's features; Sometimes referred to as the face of a timepiece, the dial indicates hours, minutes and seconds, as well as complications such as date windows and sub-dials.
Dual Deployant: Similar to a deployant clasp, except it uses two hinges to fasten or open, as opposed to one.
Dual Time Zone: Timepiece that simultaneously gives time in two time zones.
Exhibition case: Unique complication wherein a crystal is implemented into the case back, allowing view of the timepiece's movement.
Greenwich Mean Time: Refers to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England where mean time is kept; Located at the prime meridian of the world, GMT is thought of as "the world's time".
Jewels: International term referring to the rubies, sapphires or other gemstones used as bearings in a watch movement; These bearings are set to reduce friction in a movement and help the delicate parts of the movement work smoothly and with great precision.
Mechanical Movement: Type of movement where the winding crown is used to power the movement; Needs to be manually wound after an elapsed period of time; Sometimes accompanied by a exhibition back to display its old-fashioned sensibilities.
Mineral Crystal: Technical term for glass; Standard crystal used in timepieces today.
Minute Repeater: Timepiece that sounds hours, quarters and minutes as requested.
Moon Phase: Complication on a timepiece that displays the various stages of the moon; Stages include new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter.
Mother-of-Pearl: Dial material that has been cultivated from the inside of certain shells; Provides an iridescent surface and gives timepieces a rich aesthetic.
Movement: Assembly making up the principal elements and mechanisms of a watch or clock; Includes the winding and setting mechanism, the mainspring, the train, the escapement and the regulating elements.
Perpetual Calendar: Complication that exhibits the days in a Gregorian calendar, the most common calendar used today; Automatically adjusts to months with different amounts of days in them.
Power Reserve: Time a watch will continue running based on the movement's residual winding of its mainspring; In quartz and digital watches, this can also refer to the amount of energy left in the battery.
Push Button Dual Deployant: Similar to deployant clasps, with the addition of two small hidden push buttons that spring your clasp open.
Quartz Movement: Most common type of movement used in modern timepieces; Vibrating at a high frequency and placed under an electric current, quartz movements provide accurate time without the need to wind.
Repeater: Complex watch mechanism that sounds hours, quarters or minutes, or repeats them on request; Originally designed to help the wearer to tell the time in the dark.
Retrograde: Hour, minute, second or calendar hand that moves across a scale and resets to zero at the end of its cycle.
Sapphire Crystal: High-end crystal that adds greater value to a timepiece; The only natural substance able to harm a sapphire crystal is a diamond.
Skeletonization: Cutting away unnecessary metal from the movement to allow the wearer to actually see through the movement; Any part that is not needed is carved out, leaving only the movement's skeleton.
Subdial: Smaller dials located on the main dial of a timepiece; Used to measure seconds, minutes or days.
Tachymeter: Popular complication that measures distance based on speed; Typically located along the outer rim of a dial.
Water resistant: Watches described as simply "water resistant" can handle light moisture, such as a rainstorm or splashes from a sink, but they should not be completely submerged in water for any length of time; A commonly used measurement in water resistance is ATM, which stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. About Rubber:
Originally harvested by the Aztecs and Mayans thousands of years ago, natural rubber comes from the sap of wild rubber trees native to Central and South America. It is collected manually by tapping, or cutting into their bark, to free the white sap known as latex. The latex is then shipped to factories where machines make it into everyday products. Highly valued for being waterproof, polyurethane rubber is an exceptionally strong form that conveniently absorbs color. It withstands abrasive environmental forces and is UV resistant, thus making it ideal for watches that will see a variety of surroundings.

I want a generic function that would work with types that have
Right and
Rect read-only properties - I have a lot of such classes in a third-party library.
I wrote this:
internal class MyTemplate<WhatType> {
internal static void Work( WhatType what )
int left = what.Left;
and I expect it to work - equivalent code in C++ would work okay. However C# objects:
error CS1061: 'WhatType' does not contain a definition for 'Left' and no extension method 'Left' accepting a first argument of type 'WhatType' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I don't get it - why would it try to instantiate the template before I even call it? Of course, type
WhatType is not yet known and so no properties can be found.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix that?

So I have next system with boundary conditions:

sysG and

Any way I wonder how to solve this ODE numerically for

Does the fact of $v_4$ and $v_6$ make it not an ODE? Isnt it possible to get $v_4$ and $v_6$ out from given $v$'s? make them depand on other $v$'s?

I'm trying to troubleshoot remotely for my mother and her iPad. I sent her a Canon Airprint-compatible printer which is visible/usable on her wireless network by a desktop PC and a netbook, but not visible by the iPad. After trying software updates and power cycling without success, we finally determined that her Actiontec router is not Bonjour compatible. We're about to replace her router, but I thought I'd check to see if there might be a cheaper solution to be found here.
I don't know if it will work, mostly because the product hasn't been released yet but xPrintServer might work. It is a bit pricey for this usage though.
Just thought I'd check- I assume she only has one wireless network? (at 90, I'd be surprised if not, but you never know!)
I have problems with both AirPrint and AirPlay on my network if the devices that are attempting to connect are connected through different routers.
Bonjour is a special form of DNS broadcasting - perhaps if you reset the router to default DNS settings. If you're running multiple subnets for any reason (I doubt so for a 90 year old, but you never know) this will also cause the printer to only be available on one subnet. You'd likely have multiple subnets if you have more than one router.

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space with orthonormal basis $(e_h)_{h \in \mathbb{N}}$ and let $(A_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ and $A$ be bounded linear operators. We say that $A_n$ converges weakly to $A$ if
$$\forall \xi, \eta \in H, \quad (\eta, A_n\xi)\to (\eta, A\xi).$$
Question Is it true that $A_n$ converges weakly to $A$ if and only if
$$\forall h, k \in \mathbb{N},\quad (e_h, A_n e_k) \to (e_h, Ae_k)?$$
Indeed, I'm wondering if it is correct to think at weak convergence as convergence of the matrix entries associated to the operators $A_n$ and $A$.
Thank you.

6 Japanese Subcultures That Are Insane (Even for Japan)
#3. Male Hosts
Gyaruo style, which started out as male versions of gyaru, is the weapon of choice for the young dudes who want to look cool. They wear expensive clothes, gallons of cologne and sport Rod Stewart haircuts. Male Hosts--men who make their livings drinking with older women--are at the pinnacle of this trend.
Like the gyaru, they keep their skin tanned and their hair an unnatural shade of dirty blond. By dirty, we mean it looks like they haven't washed their hair for a very, very long time. But unlike the gyaru, who ended up looking like mountain hags, the gyaruo took it up market and some of them have been raking it in ever since.
Not all men who dress like this are actual hosts, but the ones who are make large sums of money in specialized clubs all over the country. And what do they do for these women? Nothing; except sit with them, drink with them and slip them a romantic line every once and a while.
That's it. And since they were smart enough to figure out a way to make money drinking and talking to women in bars, they set off a trend among young Japanese men. Because if you can't actually get women to cough up their hard-earned money just to watch you get drunk and hear your lame pick up lines, at least you can look like you do.
#2. Yankii
The closest thing Japan has to white trash, yankii, (a corruption of Yankee) are young men and women who dye their hair blond or orange, wear trashy clothes and smoke, drink and have children before they're out of high school. They are famous for being loud, rude and refusing to take part in the strict manners of Japanese culture.
There is some overlap of the subcultures here, as the yankii borrow some of their style from gyaru and gyaruo, but their clothes and hair aren't what set them apart. Less a style of dress than a social phenomenon, the yankii have long been the boogeyman of contemporary Japanese culture and are regarded as a symbol of how far the country has fallen from its glory years. When the yankii started to appear in the late 80s and early 90s, Japanese media quickly whipped up a frenzy, predicting an Akira-like lawless Tokyo full of bad mannered punks with bad haircuts terrorizing little old ladies and not doing their homework.
Of course that only happened in cool Japanese manga and kickass movies like Battle Royale. Instead, yankiis turned out to be nothing worse than young people with bad taste in hair and sloppy manners. The yankii girls wore too much makeup, got married too young and ended up as really old looking 35-year-olds. The guys all end up as construction workers for some reason.
#1. Visual Kei
Japanese pop music is widely regarded by experts to be terrible. Doing nothing to dispel this reputation is visual kei, a term that represents both a style of music and a particularly insane style of dress that both the bands and fans embrace with frightening gusto. The music itself is largely forgettable, warmed-over 80s hair metal. But the costumes look like the aftermath of an orgy between lolitas, goths, vampires and anime characters where everybody had to hurriedly get dressed in the dark.

BEECH BOTTOM - Officials with the Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle spent the holiday season showing the newly acquired Wheeling Corrugating property to a steady stream of prospects, Executive Director Pat Ford said.
The BDC holds title to the property, acquired in November from bankrupt RG Steel.
State Route 2 LLC, a division of Los Angeles-based Hackman Capital, actually purchased the property out of bankruptcy, then promptly transferred the land rights to the BDC for $200,000. The Hackman subsidiary still owns the rights to the equipment on the site and will also reap some benefits from site development, but, because the title was passed to the BDC, won't be responsible for any legacy issues. As a nonprofit, the BDC has access to public and private dollars to clean up those site contaminants that the for-profit Hackman Capital can't tap into.
The BDC and Hackman, however, are working together to market the property.
While it's still early going, Ford said he showed the 650-acre property, which includes a 480,000 -square-foot warehouse space plus 120 flat, developable acres, "all through the holidays."
"There wasn't much of a break, which is a good problem to have," he said.
Ford said the prospects, companies in the energy sector, seemed to have liked what they saw. Several have already made repeat visits, he said.
"People drive by the property see it and just assume it will never be available," he said. "Once people actually stop and they see the enormous size of the building or stand at the northern end of the building and look north, up state Route 2, they see how big 120 acres of flat land is and they realize it's an incredible opportunity."
So far, Ford said prospects have expressed interest in the land or the building, but not both.
"It's too big for one tenant, particularly the tenants we're looking at who are showing interest in it," he said. "Some are looking for just land, anywhere from 5 to 20 acres; others are looking for building space, anywhere from 50,000 to100,000 square feet."
That's not a problem, he said, though they are planning to do their homework before they do any subdividing: Ford said they've already met with two engineering companies to discuss proposals for a master site plan "so we don't subdivide the property prematurely and compromise the development (potential) of the property."

I think I see where you are getting mixed up.
var currentWeatherCtr = Ext.create('CatApp.view.ContainerCurrentWeather', { title: ''});
You creating a new instance of this class and then aren't doing anything with it, (adding it to a container, etc).
Sounds like what you are probably intending to do is grab a reference to the instance of 'containercurrentweather' and setData on it. Make sense?Aaron Conran
24 Oct 2012 7:44 AM #14
I understand what your saying. I should get a reference to the alias of the container, containercurrentweather, instead of creating a new instance of the container. How do I go about making this reference (I'm assuming by creating it in the Controller of where this view is to be populated onActivate)? If this is correct, how do I make reference to it in the code? Sorry, for so many questions, but I am a newbie with Architect and Sencha.
24 Oct 2012 10:15 AM #15
There are many ways to get a reference to it. Let's start off with:
Give it an itemId and then retrieve it via componentquery, in the container that holds it you can then do this.down('#myItemId')
Probably the easiest way but has a few drawbacks in scaling your application is to register it with a global id. If you register it with a global id, you can access it from anywhere in your code like so:
The primary drawback to this is that you have to manage all of your id's (they are global and must be unique). itemId's on the other hand must be unique to their container.Aaron Conran
24 Oct 2012 11:33 AM #16
I was able to utilize the global approach to get the record. Thanks for all the help. One more requests of you...I promise
I am attempting to load the json from the service call via the code below. In doing so I have set up the store and associated model (with only one field called 'temp_f'). I printed out the the first and only record of records and on the data object I get undefined for the temp_f. If you look at the json returned there is no root so I did not specify one.
var store = Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('currentWeatherStore'), url = 'http://api.wunderground.com/api/3a1f...acramento.json'; store.getProxy().setUrl(url); store.load({ callback: function(records, success, operation){ console.log(records[0]); var currentWeatherCtr = Ext.getCmp('containerCurrentWeather', { title: ''}); currentWeatherCtr.setData(records[0].data); }, scope: this });
24 Oct 2012 12:00 PM #17
That link does not have any temp_f data in it... it looks like the root of teh records would be response.results.Aaron Conran
25 Oct 2012 7:36 AM #18
Actually there was typo in the link (sorry). The correct link is http://api.wunderground.com/api/3a1f...acramento.json, which you will see a "temp_f" field within the rendered json. If you see there is no root specified (at least from what I can tell). I was hoping that I could have some fresh eyes that could see if there is something missing from the implementation.
25 Oct 2012 12:54 PM #19
It's in the current_observation object.
If o is your decoded json you could access it like so o.current_observation.temp_fAaron Conran
25 Oct 2012 1:13 PM #20
So i tried the recommended...
Here's the store setup...
Ext.define('CatApp.model.CurrentWeatherStore', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', alias: 'model.currentweatherstore', config: { fields: [ { name: 'temp_f', type: 'float' } ] } });

From Abilene Police Department spokesman George Spindler:
At about 1:10 p.m. Tuesday, an agent with the Special Operations Division contacted a 39-year-old female subject walking in the 800 block of North Mockingbird Lane. The agent was working in an undercover capacity in an unmarked vehicle while wearing plain clothes. During their encounter, the subject -- Michelle Josselet Torres of Abilene -- agreed to engage in a sexual act with the undercover officer for a fee of $80. Torres was arrested for misdemeanor prostitution.
At about 4:25 p.m. Tuesday, Officers Terrill Perkins and Robert Brannon responded to a disturbance at a business in the 900 block of N. Willis Street. APD dispatch had been notified concerning an alleged theft suspect that had been detained and had knocked down a customer. Officers arrived on scene and contacted the involved parties. The preliminary investigation revealed that a male suspect had left the supermarket without paying for an item of merchandise. Loss prevention had contacted the suspect and were in the process of escorting the suspect back into the store when the suspect began to flee. In his attempt to flee, the suspect shoved a shopping cart out of his way and the cart struck a juvenile, age seven, in the abdomen. The loss prevention employee was able to apprehend the suspect. The investigation revealed that the shopping cart caused the juvenile pain and there were marks on the victim consistent with the allegation. The loss prevention employee sustained minor abrasions on his hand and arm during the apprehension. The investigation revealed that the merchandise stolen was valued at $1.99. The suspect was arrested for robbery.
At about 5 p.m. Tuesday, Officer Martin Walker responded to a shoplifter call at a business in the 1600 block of Hwy 351. APD dispatch had been notified by an asset protection employee about a male suspect detained for alleged shoplifting. Officer Walker contacted the involved parties and his preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had been observed by asset protection selecting several items of merchandise that were opened in the store and concealed. The suspect was contacted after exiting the store without paying for said items. Approximately $55 in stolen merchandise was recovered. The suspect was arrested for misdemeanor theft.

[cold flow]
[pour point]
[filter plugging]
Diesel engines rely on effective dispersion of fuel to
ensure efficient combustion. In cold weather regions,
maintaining the fluidity flow of fuels can be difficult.
Catalytic dewaxing is a selective hydrocracking process that
provides a valuable improvement to low temperature performance
of middle distillate feedstocks. It greatly improves
cloud point (CP) and cold-filter plugging point (CFPP)
properties of diesel fuels.
At present, most US refineries are optimized for the
production of gasoline, i.e., fluid catalytic cracking (FCC)
units. With the growing interest in diesel-powered passenger
cars, existing refineries will not be able to serve that new
demand for clean diesel. Investments in new technologies to
produce high-performance transportation fuels will be
necessary. Fuel performance in diesel engines is directly
linked to fluidity characteristics in the engine. The highly
sophisticated injection technology relies on quick and
complete dispersion within the combustion chamber. At low
ambient temperatures, the cold-flow properties of typical
middle distillate cuts are not adequate.
Several options are typically applied to improve cold-flow
properties in diesel transportation fuels, including kerosine
blending, undercutting, use of additives (mainly at fuel
terminals) and catalytic dewaxing. Combined kerosine
blending/undercutting with the addition of cold-flow improvers
has some applicability, although it does not work in all cases.
As high-value kerosine is mainly used for jet fuel, blending
into lower-value diesel fuel is only acceptable if there is no
alternative outlet. Seasonal undercutting of middle-distillate
fractions will reduce total diesel yield as higher
boiling-point fractions end up in the low-value fuel oil (FO)
The application of versatile cold-flow improvement
additives, typically done at product terminals or blending
sections, is very efficient to tailor flow properties like
viscosity index (VI) or pour point (PP). However, the impact on
cold-flow filter plugging point is limited, and the impact on
CP may even be negative in some cases.
A selective hydrocracking catalyst has proven to be a robust
approach for catalytic dewaxinga process that can be used
to address all aspects of cold-flow
For diesel fuel, middle distillates have boiling-point
curves in the range of 150°C (300°F) to 400°C
(750°F). In addition to environmental specifications
regarding sulfur, nitrogen and aromatics impurities, combustion
behavior (cetane number and heating value), viscosity and flow
behavior specifications are important performance factors for
diesel fuels. The top four globally standardized properties
Whereas VI and PP primarily describe the quality of the
middle-distillate fluidic behavior and its ability to be
transported from tank to engine, CP and PP describe the ability
to filter and disperse the fuel at lower temperatures. The VI
is calculated by the kinematic viscosity at 40°C
(100°F) and 60°C (140°F). At higher VIs, the change
of kinematic viscosity with temperature is lower. The PP is the
lowest temperature at which a liquid will pour or flow under
prescribed conditions. It is an approximate indication of the
lowest temperature at which the liquid can still be pumped.
The CP is the temperature at which small crystals occur
(turbidity) in defined measurement equipment. The CFPP is the
temperature at which a filter starts to plug in a defined
filtration set-up. If seasonal cold-flow specifications are not
met, an unexpected cold snap can lead to equipment damage, as
shown in Fig. 1.
The cracking of middle distillate to select paraffinic and
isoparaffinic molecules and their melting points is summarized
in Fig. 2. As the melting point of a
particular hydrocarbon molecule in the
middle-distillate fraction is strongly linked to cold-flow
properties, middle distillates with a high content of
isoparaffins have some advantages. Therefore, middle
distillates with more paraffinic hydrocarbons but poor
cold-flow properties can be converted into middle distillates
with good cold-flow properties by increasing the
isoparaffin-to-paraffin ratio.
Two types of catalytic conversion are possible: dewaxing by
isomerization, and dewaxing by selective cracking. A catalyst
system can selectively crack paraffinic hydrocarbons of
middle-distillate feedstocks.a The cracking
function in this novel catalyst is performed by a solid-acid
ingredient based on a medium pore-size zeolite that
shape-selectively differentiates between branched isoparaffins
and linear normal-paraffins. As shown in Fig.
3, only unbranched normal paraffins (n-paraffins) can
enter the pores and be converted into smaller molecules via
cracking. The catalyst includes a zeolite with a unique acidity
profile that provides outstanding robustness and flexibility
for use with a variety of feedstocks.a In addition,
a second catalytic-base-metal function allows fast hydrogen
transfer for efficient product release and coke
The catalyst has been commercially available for nearly 20
years. It can be used as a stand-alone solution, or within an
existing middle-distillate hydrotreater or ultra-low-sulfur
diesel unit, as shown in Fig. 4. Middle
distillates with a wide variety of cut points can be processed.
As basic nitrogen has a particular influence on total catalyst
activity, the placement of a small bed of cobalt
(Co)-molybdenum (Mo) or nickel (Ni)-Mo hydrotreating catalysts
in front can be helpful, particularly for a stand-alone
An additional feature of the selective-hydrocracking
catalyst system is the reduced gas-make. This is very important
for existing hydrotreating units, as the formation of light
hydrocarbons has no big impact on recycle gas density.
Therefore, it does not interfere with the recycle-gas
compressor operation. Finally, using a selective dewaxing
catalyst as a drop-in replacement does not require cost
intensive revamp or exchange of recycle compressors. Only
minimal modifications of product stabilizers may be necessary
to handle higher naphtha volumes in rare cases.

The 5 Most Spectacular Landscapes on Earth (That Murder You)
Mother Nature is an evil bitch that wants us dead. We know this, we accept it, we try to burn one plant a day as petty revenge against her for it and we move on with our lives. But sometimes her traps are so unsubtle, so obviously, blatantly designed to do nothing but murder human beings in the most awful ways possible that we can't help but stand and applaud her sheer balls. In that spirit, here are five of Mother Nature's more vicious bear traps:
#5. Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park -- Madagascar
The Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is a protected UNESCO world heritage site, but this park doesn't need any tollbooths, rangers or even a tall, spiked fence. Why? Because it's literally nothing but spiked fence. Tsingy is a 250-square-mile tiger trap made up of massive limestone obelisks riddled with jagged spears. And yes, they will cut your pretty face. And no, they won't not cut your pretty face, no matter how much you cooperate.
Sometimes the Earth gives a freebie to the World of Warcraft design team.
Biologists call the area a bio-fortress. The park is so impassable and uncharted, in fact, that every time a team goes on an expedition there, they find approximately five new species. They're literally tripping over entirely unseen life-forms -- a photographer for National Geographic documented these creatures, presumably while picking crocodile-headed lizards out of his canteen and shaking bizarre, dancing crimson bugs out of his sleeping bag.
National Geographic
Sometimes a forest of daggers just isn't enough.
It shouldn't be surprising: 90 percent of all species found on Madagascar are endemic, so if we go vaulting over the Earth's barbed-wire fence on the Island of Extremely Rare Shit, we're probably going to see some new things. And yet despite all of that sweet groundbreaking science temptation, the vast majority of the park remains completely unexplored to this day.
Olivier Lejade
So yeah. There are definitely dinosaurs in there.
That's really a testament to how inhospitable it is: We weren't just talking about "spikes" and "cutting" earlier because the area looks "spiky" from a helicopter. Those things really are razor-sharp. "Tsingy" is actually the Malagasy word for "where you cannot walk barefoot." When one expedition visited, they couldn't navigate with ordinary rock-climbing gear because (and these are actual quotes from an actual scientist) "Tsingy chewed equipment and flesh with equal ease. At times it was like climbing amid giant skewers, the consequences of a fall suggested in the mutilated trunks of toppled trees below."
Marco Zanferrari
Sometimes the formations produce Yes album covers just to mess with you.
Maybe we should amend our analogy a little: It's less like nature's junkyard fence and more like the Earth's teeth, where it stabs and grinds you into a fleshy pulp for easy digestion.
And just in case you still think we're exaggerating, here's how Steven Goodman (the quoted scientist above) ended his trip: He and his team were walking on a normal, plain, flat path, when he turned his ankle just a little bit and stumbled. That's all -- he didn't even fall all the way; just took a brief knee.
Olivier Lejade
We can't say this would be our preferred method of climbing.
It took them two days to hobble back to a hospital to remove the limestone spike from his kneecap.
#4. The Boiling Lake -- Dominica
The Boiling Lake in Dominica is remotely located, 200 feet deep and straight-up boiling, 24/7. No, it's not "kind of warm" and "really bubbly, so it looks like it's boiling," like a natural hot spring. If you take a therapeutic dip in the Boiling Lake, you'll come out poached. The water temperature at the edge of the Boiling Lake sits at 197 degrees Fahrenheit on average. That's on the shore; no measurements at all have been taken at the center, where the water is perpetually roiling, because, well, would you want to kayak out into a giant cookpot with a thermometer?
Antoine Hubert
Those who've braved the intense heat have fused with their boats. "Boataurs," we call them.
Tourist sites mention that the rocks are slippery at the lake's edge, so you should exercise extreme caution while visiting. Even more prudent: Just don't go. There's no cause for "clocking a few weeks out of the office" to "take the ol' fam" down to the fucking lake that cooks human beings.
Although, hey, maybe we're being too close-minded here. This guy went for a visit and had a pretty good time.
We hear steaming food before consumption is healthier.
He even slung up a zipline to mosey over the center of the lake. Once there, he took a water sample and boiled some eggs for lunch. You know -- fun times. They "turned jet black" when submerged in the water, and nobody's quite sure why that is, but that didn't dissuade him; he says "they still made a pretty decent lunch."
"Want in on these bad boys?"
#3. The Bolton Strid -- Yorkshire
This is the Bolton Strid, and we have to admit, it's a pretty innocuous-looking thing to be on a list of nature's most dangerous booby traps. It appears to be no more than a quaint country brook.
Now, this is what the Strid looks like a bit upstream, where it's called the River Wharfe:
All British guidebooks use "quaint" and "picturesque" at least four times a page.
That's ... a really big friggin' river. So what happened between there and the Strid? Did the river split, or flow into a lake or something? Nope, the Strid is still the whole Wharfe; it's just been flipped onto its side. That means that while it's only about 6 feet across, and appears to be no more than a few feet at its deepest (as we tend to assume of all cutesy little forest streams), nobody actually knows how deep the Strid goes. We simply cannot measure it, because there's a powerful undercurrent sweeping down into the vast, unseen caverns and massive underwater pockets that hold all of the rest of the river's water. Though if there happens to be a bout of particularly dry weather, the waterline does start to drop, and you can just see the tops of the giant formations below.
We're pretty sure you need someone like Gollum to navigate through here.
All of that adds up to one simple, terrifying fact: Nobody who has ever fallen into the Strid -- that harmless-looking brook up there -- has lived to tell about it. Swimming in the Strid has a 100 percent mortality rate. Though there are signs and placards warning about the dangerous water hazard, they're not always seen: Here's a news report about a couple that went for a walk near the Strid on their honeymoon and went missing.
Both of them.
"And yet, I'm still hungry."
It's relatively common for people to assume they can jump the creek, walk across its stones or even wade through it (again, just looking at it, the Strid really seems to be only knee-deep in places, and certainly not the instant, precipitous drop into a watery grave that it is). Most of the time, they never even find the body. Which means there are just dozens of corpses down there, pinned to the walls of the underground chasms, waiting for you to join them ...
It's exactly how water works in a video game: It looks all stupid and harmless, but the second your foot touches the surface, you get some bullshit drowning animation and die instantly.
"That's it, kids, a little farther back ... haha, oh, I'm such a card!"
