Unlike an ordinary cookbook writers, John Thorne doesn't just share recipes (although there are plenty of them); he inspires good cooks to be better. His style is less about fancy food for dinner parties than about stunningly good food to share with close friends, or to enjoy in contemplative solitude.
In "Outlaw Cook," John shares his memories of his first kitchen, in a cold-water flat on the lower east side of Manhattan, and the important lessons he learned there. He goes on to talk about the properties of garlic as a seducer that possesses body and soul(10 pages on garlic soup!), and about food that is loaded with it. He writes a chapter on "The Perfect Pecan Pie," not to tell you how to make it, but to help you find your own perfect pecan pie. He spends forty pages on sourdough bread, and I felt when I finished that I understood the process (although it took some practice before I really had it just right). There is a pear-ginger cake that is a revelation, although I added a warm caramel sauce to John's recipe for a Christmas dinner treat that has become a tradition.
John Thorne writes about food with keen knowledge, imagination, emotion, wit, and heart I've never found before. He's been compared to M.F.K. Fisher, but he's earthier. His writing has a visceral quality that evokes our most hidden emotions about the food we eat.
John Thorne's books are not for the novice.Read more ›
I was first introduced to Thorne's writing years ago when a colleague gave me a copy of his first book, "Simple Cooking." "Simple Cooking" is a compilation of essays and recipes from his newsletter (by the same name), and it charmed me. From the best essay I have ever read on cheesecake to the recounting of a long-ago romantic evening highlighted by the appearance of homemade Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, Thorne covered a wealth of disparate material and covered it all with an unstuffy and contagious isn't-this-fascinating spirit. "Outlaw Cook" serves up more of the same delicious dish.
One of the most exhilarating things in "Outlaw Cook" is the chapter called "On Not Being a Good Cook." For a man who makes his living writing about food and cooking, this baldly titled essay is a brazen thing to include in a book that bears the imprimatur of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (it was a winner of one of the Julia Child Cookbook Awards). Throwing down the gauntlet to the rarefied world of foodies (as food writers are commonly called), he begins the essay by asserting, "I'm not a good cook." He goes on:
" . . . if our criterion for goodness is whether I possess anything like a genuinely well-rounded repertoire of dishes I consistently prepare well, then my credentials are nothing much to boast about. Quite honestly, this has never bothered me much at all . . . It's my experience that truly good cooks are born.Read more ›
Many of the essays in OUTLAW COOK are striking in their anthropological or historical depth. Thorne is adept at placing food into contexts; time, place, and culture (high and low) are all important here, but so are individual memory and experience. I was moved repeatedly, reading the book, as Thorne's descriptions triggered my own memories of particular foods in particular places. I was also deeply touched by the relationships Thorne draws among food and cooking, preparation and consumption, solitary and social pleasures. I found as I read that my own sense of myself as a cook and as an eater became more clear, balanced, and healthy. By the end of reading OUTLAW COOK, I had begun the transition from observer - wanting only to watch John and Matt Lewis Thorne work their magic - to participant - trying to cast a spell or two of my own. A marvelous gift from a remarkable book!

New London - The city would have to lay off 20 police officers to save $1.4 million in the police budget, a cut that would decrease department staffing by 25 percent.
"It will change the way we do policing,'' Chief Margaret Ackley told the City Council Finance Committee Monday night.
But some members of the committee said it is too early in the budget deliberations to say what will be cut and if jobs would be eliminated in order to stay within Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio's proposed spending plan for 2013-14.
"This is something I can't live with,'' Councilor Adam Sprecace said when told by the finance director that cutting $1.4 million would mean eliminating the 20 positions.
"The last thing we want to do is lose patrolmen on the streets,'' agreed Council President Michael Passero.
The mayor has proposed a $40.2 million general government budget, which includes cuts to the police, fire and public works departments, and less funding for the library, seniors and youth programs.
The police budget would decrease from the $8.3 million to $6.8 million.
"There really is little to no wiggle room in this budget,'' Ackley said. "It's mostly bodies."
There are 10 officers eligible to retire, but realistically, she said, probably only one will retire next year. There are also four officers looking to move to the state police and another is looking to move to another department.
She urged the committee Monday that if layoffs are imminent, officers should be told so they can look for other jobs. There currently are openings in other departments, she said.
The finance committee Monday began meeting with department heads to figure out where cuts can be made.
No action was taken at the meeting. Councilor Donald Macrino, chairman of the finance committee, said the group will meet with all department heads before making any decisions. More meetings are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
Also on Monday, Public Works Director Tim Hanser, who is facing a $400,000 cut in his current $7.4 million budget, suggested the city move to privatize curbside trash collection, which could save about $900,000 annually.
But Passero pointed out that such a program would only shift the cost to residents in a different way. "This is not a savings to the taxpayer," he said. Garbage collection would cost property owners between $200 and $275 a year, Hanser said.
While the municipal side of the budget has about $1 million less in spending, the school department has requested - and Finizio is supporting - a 2.5 percent increase to cover raises, five new elementary school teachers and a middle school counselor.
The proposed school budget is $40.8 million, which is nearly $1 million more than the current budget of $39.8 million.
The city is looking at substantial cuts in state revenue.
If the budget is approved as proposed, taxpayers would be looking at just under a 1 mill tax increase. The tax rate would increase by 0.82 mills, from 26.6 mills to 27.42 mills.

Uniden's iGO500 is pretty cheap these days, but that's because it's been on the market for a long time, and it shows when compared to more full-feature standalone GPS units. At this point, the performance difference between the iGO500 and a smartphone GPS is negligible, but the smartphone will have better apps.
Typical price: $149.95
The Uniden BTHS800 delivers decent in-call audio, but lacks designer flair and carries a hefty ticket price.
Typical price: $109.95
It tries to pack a few too many features on to the one button, but otherwise the BTSC1500 makes for a good in-car companion.
Typical price: $119.95
Uniden's DECT1580 series of phones will appeal to those looking for a relatively no-frills, inexpensive DECT 6.0 cordless phone.

The Trax 5000 is not without its faults, but its size and legibility make a compelling case.
Typical price: $350.00
Portable projectors are a solution without a problem, and the Uniden ULP 1000 is an expensive solution at that. It projects a sharp, colourful image but lacks a range of much-needed connectivity options.
Typical price: $599.00
Uniden's charging solution couldn't be easier to use, but a full kit is rather costly.
Typical price: $149.95
The Trax 350 is a budget-level GPS with good performance. It won't truly excite you, but it gets the job done.
Typical price: $247.00

Definition of gonadotrophin in English:
(also gonadotropin /ˌɡəʊnadə(ʊ)ˈtrəʊpɪn/ /ˌɡəʊnadə(ʊ)ˈtrɒpɪn/)
Any of a group of hormones secreted by the pituitary which stimulate the activity of the gonads.
Example sentences
- The estrogen also decreases secretion of gonadotropins by the anterior pituitary, with a consequent decrease in the amount of androgens produced by the ovaries.
- The existence of a positive relationship between coital activities and both gonadotropins and androgens indicates the importance of these compounds to healthy vaginal epithelium when estrogen levels are decreased.
- These gonadotropins in turn stimulate synthesis of steroid hormones in target tissues.

The TV is extremely slow to load up the apps. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. The selection of apps is awful! It drops connection to the internet in my house all the time (funny none of my other wireless devices have that problem!) and the other problem is that it does not have bluetooth, and will not connect to smartsound sound bars. So if you are looking for wireless technology in your tv so you don't have to have cables running everywhere from your blu ray player, sound bar, or other peripherals, this is NOT the TV for you! I'm quite unhappy with this TV.
What I would recommend is a 1080P 120 MhZ non smart TV, and a Roku, amazon or apple tv player hooked up to the TV and do your homework with a TV that is wireless, can connect wirelessly to externals.
This is a best led tv that I have brought.
I had initially planned for a LCD tv, but after comparing led and LCD, I thought of going with led.
Samsung tv is best.
We "upgraded" from a Samsung 32" LCD to this 40" LED Smart TV. While it does everything it is supposed to, we did not fully understand the limitations of a typical "smart" TV. We hoped to be able to watch missed episodes of TV shows directly from the TV network's website, as we previously did through a laptop connected into the 32". However, we learned too late that the "smart" feature does not include full PC-type interface and support. You must subscribe to paid services such as Hulu to enjoy this feature. Since there is no VGA input on the 40" Smart TV, we can no longer connect the laptop to it without additional expenditure for a VGA-to-HDMI converter and cord adapter. Otherwise, we are satisfied with the picture quality. The sound quality is typical of mid-range flat screen TVs: nothing to write home about. This did not matter to us as we have it connected to a home theater system. Set up and connection to home wireless network was quick and well-guided through the on-screen procedures.
I got the TV, delivered good and on time. I did not have internet in the house at the time, so I did not have an opportunity to check out the SMART features of the TV at the beginning. However, when I did get internet in the house, I was on the phone with Samsung and Netflix for about an hour, trying to determine why the TV would not launch the NETFLIX app. You Tube worked great, TIME worked great, but NETFLIX would not launch. In the TV settings, it said it was not supported, and the Level II technician at Samsung could not fix it. Instead, she wanted to send a technician to my home to fix it. I decided that I paid too much for the TV, to keep it, and have it repaired in the first 10 days of ownership. The web browsing feature is a pain in the tail, because you have to type one letter at a time with the on-screen keyboard, and that gets old. It was a BEAUTIFUL picture. Maybe I will try a Samsung TV that is not smart, and just get ROKU or a bluray player that has internet access. Taking it back.
We've had our tv for about a month now and really like it. We bought it to upgrade our 32" Samsung LED, which we still are very happy with - in a smaller room.
We have the sound hooked up to our stereo surround sound, so I really can't speak to the quality of the sound.
I think the only cons we have are the cursor and the search feature when online. They are very slow when compared to a mouse and keyboard. We bought a wireless keyboard and that has helped a lot.
The other negative is watching TV shows from the internet. It's so slow and choppy with a lot of buffering that it's not worth watching. One reason for buying this tv was to do away with cable. At this point we'll need to keep cable to be able to watch many of the shows (our local news station, PBS, HGTV etc.) we like. We are able to watch online tv shows from our computers. That being said, Netflix and Pandora work wonderfully. We haven't had the time to try Amazon, Hulu plus or some of the other apps on this tv.
This 5300 40 inch TV is all one could want. Another Samsung winner. Easy to assemble onto the stand and did it myself. Easy to understand remote and features as described in the manual. I only have rabbit ears to pull in channels. Live on a hill. Switched the digital shorty rabit ears from my analog tv to the new Sampson. They did not work as well so, I had the old tall analog rabbit ears nearby and attached the RF cable. They pulled in more channels than the digital ears. That in combo with the Samsung tuner made for a great looking picture. Pulled in NBC and CBS fine. Also several PBS channels. Live in the mountains so cannot get many. All paramater controlls easy to learn for pic and audio adjustment. The picture color did not need adjustment but it is available in various degress and as a mode setting from dynamic (very bright) to lo fi movie. This was a good buy and I am a satisfied customer. My Mac monitor is also a Samsung.
This set looks really good in the family room. The picture is noticeably brighter than any hdtv set that I have owned and it has wonderful color with great contrast. The speakers are in the rear, so placed in my alcove they sound hollow when set is first turned on, but this becomes unnoticeable after a minute and acceptable (i think bose uses this reflecting method in their infomercial products to make sound seem bigger). The thin bezel looks nice when tv is not on but takes getting used to watching as the picture lacks the framing we are accustomed. The built-in apps are a convenience (with the hdmi jacks it is just as easy to watch the apps from a pc or ipad instead). We use netflix lots so this works for us, most of apps require extra fees. The web browser is unneeded (again just use a pc) and frustrating to use without a mouse and keyboard (not supplied). My recommendation: this is a very fine tv at a good price ($449). When shopping, great pix and sound for price are the goals. The apps and browser are bells and whistles so dont pay more to get them.
Great buy, very satisfied with the features available. Can be used as additional monitor, excellent video quality for streaming movies. With wireless connectivity mouse and keyboard can be connected from anywhere from the room. Wireless mouse can act like a remote when TV is connected to laptop through HDMI and if streaming from a PC, no need to stay closer to the laptops wireless mouse can handle most of the activites. The Xbox playstation will add an awesome gaming experience. Youtube, Netflix apps work really great. since the youtube connects to any device, anything can be played on the TV through laptop , mobile or ipod which really adds amazing options. with the Galaxy S4 having remote feature adds a new dimension to the suggestive programs and also the mobile can act as a remote. HDMI , USB connectivity ensures I can connect any camera, hard disk , laptop almost any device with the memory and enjoy family pictures, wonderful trip experiences in HD on big screen. This is really a wonderful companion in home which is sure to add joy in living everyday.
The picture quality is not great but it's tolerable. The sound is not so great. My old 32 inch Samsung back from 2007 had better sound and pictures. We got a sound bar to give the volume more umph. I like that this is a smart tv but I hate the remote. It's not qwerty so it makes it extremely annoying to type in what you want. If you think about getting this tv for the web browser then forget it. The remote is awful to type and browse with. There is a keyboard that is compatible with the browser but it doesn't really make the browsing experience any better. Best to stick to a computer for that purpose. We mostly use the netflix app. It logs us out pretty often and it's a pain to keep logging back in. I do like that it has a usb connection so I can view my photos from my iphone and videos from external drives, but I hardly ever do that. If I could do it over again I'd get a smart tv with a QWERTY remote. It'd be much much more convenient and worth it. Funny how something that seems so minor as a remote can impose so much inconvenience.
We routinely shop in the US since there's so much more choice and things are way less expensive, so I purchased this TV for my workout room after returning a similar sized Vizio Smart TV, that was utterly disappointing. So, I picked up this Samsung instead and am I ever happy. This TV lets you stream media from your computer or network storage. It has a ton of apps to choose from to download. It's even got exercise apps. The picture is amazing (way better than the Vizio) and the Smart features are unbelievable. It's easy to use, looks great and the price was fantastic. It's exactly what I was expecting a Smart TV to be. Samsung has a new fan.
The tv was easy to set up, including the wireless feature. It's great to be able to jump from a tv program to the web to look up something on google. The tv show is in a box on the bottom of the screen, so nothing is missed while surfing the web. Picture is excellent, the sound options include "clear voice" which makes it easy to understand the dialogue, and the menu is simple to use. The only negative is that this tv is 60 HZ, not the 120 Hz that is advertised. But the picture is so clear, even with action scenes, that the smaller 60 Hz is not a deal breaker.
This is a great value for a TV this size with this many features, and this clear of a picture.
Overall: Pros
-LED screen is gorgeous; great for bright colors and no blur when watching sports.
-Very easy to set up Wifi and begin downloading apps; took me less then 5 minutes.
-Ordered on Tuesday and received in great condition on Friday, so very fast free shipping.
-You can watch cable/over the air channels while browsing the apps, which some Smart TVs aren't able to do.
-Includes Hulu Plus, Netflix, and YouTube, my favorite apps. Very easy to sign into your accounts and quickly watch your favorites. I'm telling you, get rid of cable and get Hulu Plus for $8/month while using a digital antenna to get several free channels, it saves a ton!
-Energy saving, and apparently only costs $7/year to power if watched for about 5 hours/day, so not a power sucker. Cons
-A little wider than the other LED TVs out there, but not noticeable unless you are very picky about how it looks from the side; about $300 more for comparable models 2-3 inches thinner.
-Not able to download Twitter app; I don't really mind this but some people might.
-Web browsing is laborious when typing since it has a traditional controller, but the pages do show up like they would on your computer. Don't think you can use a wireless keyboard you buy separately either, so if you are looking for having the same capabilties on a TV as your laptop, you may need to look into much more expensive models. Hard to go wrong with this TV.
Also easy to return to a physical Walmart store if you have problems, but I haven't had any issues.
Bought this 40" and mounted it on the wall in the Bedroom. WOW.....excellent picture with true HD quality. Smart TV features (Netflix, Pandora, etc) are great, and I have had NO problem with wifi 'dropping' or having unwanted logoffs. Do NOT expect to surf the web, as typing is a real effort on the on-screen 'keyboard' and moving the curser with the remote arrows. Takes a few minutes just to type in a website address; I didn't buy it for this feature, and is not a big deal to me, but may be to others. Also, the sound seems a little low, particularly when viewing a movie on DVD or Netflix......again, not a huge problem to me. Overall, this TV is a very nice unit for the price, and I would recommend it highly.
walmart advertises this tv as a 120Hz but it is really a 60Hz. I bought this at the store thinking it was a 120Hz but when I got it home and looked up the features of the tv I found out it was a 60Hz. Not really something that would cause me to return the tv but makes me really think about going elsewhere when I buy electronics. Other than that I am happy with my purchase it is a nice tv and somewhat better than the 120Hz Vizio in our living room. Walmart PLEASE put real specs on your website and on your signs in the store
Maybe it's just me, but I had no idea that an HDTV would need so much picture adjusting. I expected to be able to plug it in, connect to my HD receiver or Blue-ray player and get a great quality picture every time. This, however, has not been the case. I find that I have to make picture adjustments for each individual show or movie. The picture quality changes even within the SAME show or movie! Sometimes it looks sharp and clear and the color balance is decent. But then, in another scene in the same show, it looks dark and fuzzy. Sometimes the skin tone is perfect and then in another scenes the skin tone is too bright and rather yellow. I especially find it difficult to get a good and consistent picture quality during news broadcasts. I am disappointed, but perhaps this is the way it is with digital TVs. (?) If someone has a solution for me, or any other advice, I'd appreciate it. I've tried to make the picture adjustments that other people have suggested in these reviews. They work ok for some shows but not for others. It certainly is a bother to constantly have to make adjustments and still never get it exactly right.
The TV is what we expected. The sound quality could be better. Most of the reviews that we read before purchasing this TV stated that the sound was not loud enough and that one would need to have a surround sound system to boost the sound. Since we had a surround sound system when we purchased the TV we were not concerned about the sound from the TV itself. So far everything else is perfect on the set.
Purchased TV well below market price. That made this TV my best choice for my money. There are 2 important things you should consider before buying this TV or any Samsung Smart TV. One is that the 120 Clear Motion Rate is still only 60Hz so pictures in fast motion will still look clearer in true 120Hz. The scond is the remote, which works well as a TV remote, functions poorly with Apps and is almost usless with Internet. If you want to use Internet or Apps, I recommend looking at Vizio as an option as the include a 2 sided remote that works well compared to a normal keboard. This Samsung is a very good TV in most aspects but I recommend only buying if discounted 40% or more.
I purchased the Samsung 40" Smart TV 5300 to put on my kitchen wall, mainly so I could listen to Pandora there. My husband liked the tv so well he decided he wanted one to replace our den tv. We ordered it on walmart.com, picked it up the same day at the local Wal-mart. He hung it, turned it on and half the screen was black, couldn't get past it to get to the menu. We immediately boxed it up, went to walmart.com, ordered another 5300, took the return to the local Wal-mart and picked up the replacement at the .com dept. and was out of the store in 20 minutes. Walmart and walmart.com are very easy to work with. My husband is very pleased with his new tv in the den and I'm loving Pandora. The Sound is great. Picture is great too.
I had researched several different manufacturers of Smart TVs. The Samsung TVs had the clearest picture, good sound, easy internet accessibility and was a breeze to set up. This is a great TV with many features for a fantastic price!
This is a very good TV but the smart features are disappointing. The web browser has very limited memory and buffering capability. In trying to watch news broadcasts streamed over the internet, usually I only get to see the commercials and then the transmission freezes for lack of memory. The web browser management features are weak and inconsistent (e.g. private browsing retains history from previous sessions, ad block does not work at all and pop-up blocker sometimes blocks the feature you wish to see). The much touted All Share app also seems to lack sufficient capacity to transfer large files (e.g. movies) efficiently between a computer and the TV.

Prevention is the Key
"Prevention is the key!" Sound familiar? If you remember anything at all from the pandemic flu of 2009, the message to wash your hands, practice social distancing and stay at home if you have a fever or other symptoms of the flu should be very familiar. Hopefully the message is more than repetitive words and is a practice of daily life.
Although the Pandemic H1N1 influenza 2009 is no longer, influenza (flu) still exists. In fact the Center for Disease Control has noted flu has hit the epidemic level in the United States. Gastroenteritis, upper respiratory infections (congestion, coughing and sneezing) as well as MRSA (staphylococcus infections) have also made their way onto campus along with the students.
Prevention is still the key….and it's not just for the flu.
- wash your hands
- cover your cough and sneezes
- practice social distancing
- stay home if you are ill
All of these practices help protect you from becoming ill and prevent the spread of illness.
For further information about seasonal flu, visit the CDC.
Your health is in your hands!
Zika News
In May 2015, the World Health Organization reported the first local transmission of Zika virus in the Western Hemisphere, with locally acquired cases identified in Brazil. As of February 1, 2016, local transmission has been identified in at least 25 countries or territories in the Americas, including Puerto Rico. Further spread to other countries in the region is likely.
With the recent outbreaks in the Americas, the number of Zika virus disease cases among travelers visiting or returning to the United States will likely increase. These imported cases may result in local spread of the virus in some areas of the continental United States, meaning these imported cases may result in human-to-mosquito-to-human spread of the virus.
Zika virus has been in the news recently because of the possible link to microencephaly in infants whose mother was infected by the virus during pregnancy.
The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (pink eye). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.
For further information visit http://www.cdc.gov/zika/.
Maintain a healthy immune system to boost your chances of reducing the severity of an illness (or even avoid it all together).
- Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes and mouth.
- Keep your distance from others when you or they have a cough.
- Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables balanced with other major food groups.
- Get some sleep! Your body needs to recover AND your brain needs to process lots of new information each day.
- Exercise at least a little bit every day.
- Don't let stress get to you. Learn ways to manage stress that work for you.

TC3 no longer mandates students to carry a health insurance policy. We are concerned that students may be uninsured or not have adequate coverage for the Tompkins/Cortland county area. If a serious illness or emergency occurs that demands attention from a medical provider or hospital in the Tompkins/Cortland area, the expense can create a financial burden.
Although students may use TC3 Health Services while enrolled, insurance is still recommended should a referral to a community health care provider be needed. If you do not have health insurance, please refer to the Health Insurance Marketplace for policies available in New York State.
Heroin/Opioid Education
Due to the growing concern in the state, Governor Cuomo has mandated heroin/opioid education for all new students in the SUNY system.
The Options Program
The Options Program is Tompkins Cortland Community College's confidential, short-term alcohol and drug education and counseling service.
The mission of the Options Program is to support student learning and promote campus and community wellness by reducing alcohol and other drug abuse and related consequences.

Do you have to be ill to use the Health Center?
Of course not. We encourage students to take charge of their health by engaging in activities that promote optimal wellness.

TC3 Health Excuse Policy
TC3 Health Services does not provide excuses for routine illnesses, injuries, and mental health problems that may lead to missed classes, labs, exams, or deadlines. This policy resembles those of most other post secondary institutions and is consistent with the recommendations of the American College Health Association. TC3 expects that students are honest with their professors regarding their ability to complete work, and professors are expected to work with students on these issues within the clear expectations that they set for their students. Counseling staff are available to discuss concerns about attendance or other issues.
Assistance with serious, ongoing illness or injury
When a student is hospitalized or has a serious ongoing illness or injury, TC3 Health Services will contact the Dean of Students office to coordinate communication with the student's professors with student consent. If documented academic accommodations are necessary, TC3 Health Services will contact the Coordinator for Access and Equity.

I wondered why some german umlauts were scrambled on our page. Then i found out that the recent version of JSON (i use 2.07) does convert strings in an other manner than JSON 1.5.
Problem here is that i have a hash with strings like
use Data::Dumper;
my $test = {
'fields' => 'überrascht'
print Dumper(to_json($test)); gives me
$VAR1 = "{ \"fields\" : \"\x{fc}berrascht\" } ";
Using the old module using
$json = JSON->new();
print Dumper ($json->to_json($test));
gives me (the correct result)
$VAR1 = '{"fields":[{"title":"überrascht"}]}';
So umlauts are scrammbled using the new JSON 2 module.
What do i need to get them correct?
Update: It might be bad to use Data::Dumper to show output, because Dumper uses its own encoding. Well, a difference in the result from Dumper shows that anything is treated differently here. It might be better to describe the backend as Brad mentioned: The json string gets printed using Template-Toolkit and then gets assigned to a javascript variable for further use. The correct javascript shows something like this
"title" : "Geändert",
using the new module i get
"title" : "Geändert",
The target page is in 8859-1 (latin1). Any suggestions?

What a lovely apple cake recipe! Its easy and quick to put together and the taste is fabulous! I would have never thought of putting vanilla and cinnamon together, but it really works and makes for a wonderful taste! I cut the recipe in half and had enough to make two small cakes (see pic). The apple-raisin filling is really yummy, but a little too much for the amount of batter. I had almost enough for another cake left after assembling the first ones. But I just baked that without any dough added and ate it plain. Mmmm! Due to personal preference I cut the sugar in half and it was still nice and sweet. Thanks so much for sharing this gem of a recipe with us, Chef! Made and reviewed for one of my babies during Fall PAC 09.
This is a wonderful recipe!! The second time I made it, I substituted dried cranberries for the raisins and the grated zest of a lemon in both the batter and when I tossed the applies. Absolutely out of this world!!

FWIW, there is an interesting stat to measure batting runs produced that splits the difference between "players should get no credit for context/timing" measures like wOBA and "let's just pay attention to a piece of the puzzle and ignore the rest" stats like RBI: RE24.
Per Fangraphs:
In short, rather than just look at the production of the player, it counts the production in the context in which occurred. So, it actually counts the downside of Phillips low OBP and SLG in general, but gives him "extra" credit for coming through so often with men on base. Now, you can choose how much "credit" you want to give Phillips for the timing of his performances, but basically, this stat weights his performances by the leverage of the situation.RE24 (runs above average by the 24 base/out states): RE24 is the difference in run expectancy (RE) between the start of the play and the end of the play. That difference is then credited/debited to the batter and the pitcher. Over the course of the season, each players RE24 for individual plays is added up to get his season total RE24.
So let's look at a few numbers.
wOBA: Total measure of batting production using linear-weights (average value of a given outcome without consideration of context), scaled to OBP
wRAA: Batting runs produced relative to the average hitter, calculated based on wOBA
RE24: Batting runs produced relative the average expected outcomes give the base-out situations in which the player batted.
Diff: RE24 minus wRAA. A positive value means the player's "real" production in terms of affecting the team's chance to score runs was greater than we would assume if we just looked at total outcome stats irrespective of context.
What do we see? By wOBA, Phillips is almost exactly average. But when you look at his performances based on how they affected actual run expectancy (relative to what we would expect an average hitter to do), Phillips has actually produced 19 runs more than average. This difference between RE24 & wRAA is the largest in baseball.Code:wOBA wRAA RE24 Diff Choo .392 27.2 32.0 4.8 Cozart .268 -13.7 -22.1 -8.4 Votto .403 30.7 29.0 -1.7 Phillips .316 0.8 19.4 18.6 Bruce .349 11.7 15.6 3.9 Frazier .323 2.8 7.1 4.3
By contrast, Zack Cozart 's crappy performance has actually cost the Reds 8 runs MORE than you would think just looking at his wOBA. Ouch!
If you're a believer in giving players credit for clutch performances, for RBI, etc. -- essentially, giving players credit for not just how they perform but by giving more credit to performances in high leverage situation (for better or worse), RE24 is the stat for you.
Now, if you went in to Fangraphs' WAR and you replaced "Batting" with RE24 (which I wouldn't do exactly b/c "Batting" does an adjustment on wRAA to account for park effects), you'd find that Phillips, Votto and Choo are all virtually tied at around 3.6 WAR. Not that I would do this, but if you wanted to, I could see the Phillips for Reds' MVP case in a more reasonable light.
And on an interesting side note, I looked at the difference between wRAA at the team level. On average, team RE24 is ~7 runs lower than wRAA, so the systems don't match perfectly. But the relative comparisons are still very interesting. And what do we find? The Cardinals and A's have the highest difference at +39 runs. That is to say, their offense has produced 39 more expected runs than the mere sum of their individual batting lines would suggest. Meanwhile, the Rockies are 105 runs worse. OUCH!
In the FWIW department, wRAA appears to be more strongly correlated with actual run scoring at the team level than RE24 --- so you could consider it a better predictor of actual run scoring. But I thought the RE24 stuff was interesting nonetheless.

At the recommendation of the city's legal counsel, the Vandalia City Council has delayed acting on a request for Tax Increment Financing assistance for the renovation of a downtown building exterior wall.
The council was scheduled to act on a request from Dennis and Debbie Grubaugh for $70,000 in TIF funds to renovate the wall of their building at 507 W. Gallatin St., work that follows the demolition of adjacent buildings last fall.
Grubaugh, who plans to do the work himself, has estimated the total project cost at $160,000.
A new, six-year contract with the firm currently providing trash pickup for residents of Vandalia includes keeping the current rate for the next two years.
And when the new contract goes into effect, that company will only be picking up trash containers on streets, and it will be providing those containers.
The new contract with Doty Sanitation Service, which runs from Aug. 1 of this year through July 31, 2022, calls for the monthly rate to stay at $13.38 for the first two years.
Fayette County officials were told on Tuesday that they will be asked to have the county continue its participation in a local Enterprise Zone.
Luke Eastin, an economic development planner for the South Central Illinois Regional Planning and Development Commission, told board members that the Vandalia/Fayette County Enterprise Zone will expire on Dec. 31, 2018, and work is under way to be granted a new Enterprise Zone. Vandalia and Fayette County have been Enterprise Zone partners since 1988.
It was vandalism, abuse and failure to follow guidelines that spelled doom for the city of Vandalia's recycling program. The same could also bring an end to electronic recycling in Fayette County.
The Vandalia Lions Club notified Vandalia officials last week of its plans to head up an effort to improve the appearance of the community's downtown business district.
Bill Haselhorst of the Lions Club told the Vandalia City Council that it wants to work with the city's beautification committee, as well as local businesses and organizations, on such a project.
That project would, Haselhorst said, include a restoration of the Little Red Caboose. And, hopefully, it would include moving the caboose to a different location.
One driver was injured and the other was ticketed as a result of an accident on Ill. Route 185, half a mile north of Vandalia, early Monday evening.
According to the Illinois State Police, Robert Lovall, 63, of Vandalia, was traveling north on Route 185 in a 2011 Ford truck shortly after 5 p.m. and had slowed to turn into his driveway. The state police said that Gavin Paradee, 33, of Vandalia, was traveling north in a 1999 Ford truck and failed to notice that Lovall had slowed, striking the Lovall vehicle in the rear.

El Palacio de Hierro
|Department store
|1850 as Las Fábricas de Francia, 1891 as El Palacio de Hierro
|Mexico City, Mexico

|Juan Carlos Escribano, (CEO)

|Soy Totalmente Palacio
El Palacio de Hierro (El Palacio de Hierro S.A. de C.V.) (English: The Iron Palace) is an upscale chain of department stores in Mexico.
In the 1850s, a clothing store opened in Mexico City called "Las Fábricas de Francia" (The Factories of France) which was owned by Victor Gassier, a Frenchman (not to be confused with the currently existing stores Fábricas de Francia, operated by El Puerto de Liverpool). In 1860, Gassier teamed up with Alexander Reynaud, forming a business called Gassier & Reynaud.
In 1876, José Tron and José Leautaud bought in, forming the association V. Gassier & Reynaud, Sucs. S. en C. In 1879 the business' formal name was changed to J. Tron y Cía.. However, it continued to trade as "Las Fábricas de Francia". From here Tron and Leautaud's endeavor met with considerable success.
In 1879, they began planning to build a department store in Mexico City similar to famous upscale, and high class stores in Paris (Le Bon Marché), New York City (Saks Fifth Avenue), London (Harrods), and Amsterdam (De Bijenkorf).
In 1888 they bought land to construct their new department store. They hired the Mexican architect Ignacio de la Hidalga for the project and construction was to last until 1891.
Tron and Leautaud chose to build a five story building. It was, notably the first building in Mexico City made of iron and steel. As the first such structure in Mexico, people who passed by often asked "What iron palace are they building?". In 1891, when construction finished, Tron and Leautaud decided to rename the business "El Palacio de Hierro", taking advantage of the publicity they earned during construction.
On April 15, 1914 a fire destroyed the building. Other buildings were then used. With the end of the Mexican Revolution, construction began on a new building designed by French architect Paul Dubois. The Art Nouveau building opened in 1920 with dual stained-glass ceilings by Jacques Grüber (1870-1936) of Nancy, France.
Nowadays, El Palacio de Hierro is part of Grupo Bal a diversified conglomerate in Mexico with interests in insurance, mining and retail.
It is a comprehensive department store with product lines ranging from clothing, to houseware, furniture, jewelry, select foods, toys, spa, travel services, and electronics. Especially in the clothing area, it is a high-end retailer, carrying top Mexican domestic brands, as well as hosting many in-store boutiques from exclusive lines such as Emilio Pucci, Tiffany's, Tommy Hilfiger, Cartier, Esprit, Max Mara, BCBG Max Azria, Emporio Armani, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tory Burch, Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Versace, Swarovski, Michael Kors, Burberry, Escada, Juicy Couture, Carolina Herrera, Mango, Bvlgari, Bottega Veneta, and Hermès.
Currently, El Palacio de Hierro has locations in Mexico City (8 Palacios de Hierro stores, 1 Boutique Palacio, 2 Casas Palacio and 2 Outlets), Monterrey (1 Palacio de Hierro store), Puebla (1 Palacio de Hierro store), Guadalajara (1 Palacio de Hierro store), Acapulco (1 Casa Palacio and 1 Boutique Palacio), Cancún (1 Casa Palacio and 1 Boutique Palacio) and Villahermosa (1 Palacio de Hierro store), Santiago de Queretaro (1 Palacio de Hierro store), and one store under construction in Veracruz.

Opening lyrics to "An Occasional Dream," by David Bowie
"I recall how we lived
On the corner of a bed
And we'd speak of a Swedish room
Of hessian and wood
And we'd talk with our eyes
Of the sweetness in our lives
And tomorrows of rich surprise…
Some things we could do."
Thank you for your support, interest, "sweetness" and insights over the years. See you soon.
Michael David
Artistic Director/Curator

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I have given this product to my husband since he was treated for lymphoma - two kinds - one was stage 4. Chemo about did him in. He has taken AHCC for over five years. The cancer doctor said recently he didn't ever want to see him again! This was wonderful news. I strongly feel AHCC contributed to his keeping cancer at bay for so long. Interestingly, I ran out last month and my husband went five days without it. He got a terrible cold! He hasn't had a cold for five years! Believe me, we will not run out of it again!
I ordered three bottles to try...and was convinced after the first, two-capsule dose that AHCC is a truly amazing product ~ I could tell the difference that quickly! Within a week of taking six capsules a day, I've notably experienced an alleviation of my chronic pain, an increase in pain tolerance, a significant decrease in anxiety, a significant increase in patience, less heartburn, and great relief of my (usual) constant fatigue. Within two weeks my husband was convinced (as my "progress" has not wavered) that this product works... From what he's seen, he said the difference between me taking AHCC and not taking it is "huge"...so huge that he's added the cost of it into our yearly budget! I'm very aware of benefiting from it just by what I can feel...how exciting that I'm reaping other wonderful benefits that I can't feel ~ like my strenghtening immune system!! Bottom line...I know the person I was without it...and I'm just a better person with it.

I tried this product for my constant allergies, sneezing & block nose along with vitamin C etc. One of the better immune support supplements I have tried but not the magic fix for me so still experimenting with other products.

I have type 2 Diabetes and sometimes have gum sores / infection if my blood sugar is high, taking antibiotics cured it temporarily for a while and I was looking for a more permanent solution. I have started taking this along with Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan for the past 3 weeks and the gum sores and infection have not only gone but have not reappeared. I am also trying this to reduce cholesterol and maintain blood sugar and feel the blood sugar control is better - I will be doing lipid testing in 4 weeks to see if my cholesterol levels have gone down from the current 240 as I refuse to take statin drugs.(MHK)

I admire religious art, but like most people my ideas about what makes art religious are pretty conventional. I love Fra Angelico and El Greco, but until recently I would be hard pressed to name an artist who tackles religious subjects who is not dead.
My recent visits to the Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA) have changed that. MOBIA, which opened last May in Manhattan, currently features an exhibition of contemporary painters, sculptors, and mixed-media artists specializing in religious themes. Some of the work is strange, some downright weird, but much of it pushes the boundaries of religious art in arresting ways.
Debunking myths about religious art is part of the mission of MOBIA, which is housed on the second floor of the American Bible Society near Lincoln Center. Ena Heller, the executive director of the museum, told me that she hopes the gallery will surprise people in the same way it surprised me. "We art historians have been taught that religious art pretty much died with the Enlightenment," said Heller, who ran the Bible Society's art gallery before founding MOBIA. "That's one of the notions we're trying to...dispel—or at least discuss."
Heller's definition of biblical art is expansive. She says MOBIA will naturally include work that represents figures or stories from the Bible, but will more broadly, according to its mission statement, feature work "...

Hi there - I'm running a multisite install, and it's restricted to users who can authenticate against LDAP. I'm using the 'Simple LDAP Login', which works fine.
Since the user passwords are controlled by an external directory, I don't want the 'forgot your password' option to show on the default login form.
How can I get rid of that option in the login screen? I wouldn't mind getting rid of the 'remember me' either, for security purposes.
Thanks in advance

Korea Exchange Bank Profit Jumps 58%, Helped by Hynix Stake Sale
Korea Exchange Bank, the lender acquired by Hana Financial Group Inc. in February, said first-quarter profit rose 58 percent, boosted by gains from the sale of its stake in SK Hynix Semiconductor Inc.
Net income climbed to 313.9 billion won ($275 million) from 198.6 billion won a year earlier, Seoul-based KEB said in a regulatory filing today. That compares with the 268 billion-won average estimate of eight analysts compiled by Bloomberg.
Korea Exchange Bank became a Hana Financial unit after the parent completed 4.4 trillion won in payments to Dallas-based Lone Star Funds and Export Import Bank of Korea. Hana Financial plans to publish first-quarter results tomorrow, reflecting its 58 percent ownership in KEB.
The net interest margin, a measure of profitability from lending, narrowed to 2.47 percent from 2.63 percent a year earlier, KEB said in a separate statement on its website. Provisions against bad debt fell 28 percent to 106.9 billion won, the statement said.
Korea Exchange Bank recorded a 133.1 billion won after-tax gain from selling 10 million shares in Hynix, it said in the statement. As part of a shareholder group the bank led a 3.4 trillion-won sale of Hynix to SK Telecom Co. last year, completing the transaction in February.
Korea Exchange Bank shares rose 2.6 percent to 8,670 won before the earnings release. The stock has advanced 18 percent this year, compared with the benchmark Kospi index's 8.8 percent rise.

Wow Rita, this is so good, I really enjoyed it. A nice, tall, smooth drink with a zing. I used fresh meyer lemon juice and apple cider. I loved the addition of the ginger what a treat. I will be making this again often, thanks so much for sharing.
Very nice. I made 2 versions of this drink, the second time round with pineapple juice and, I just admit, I liked the pineapple version better as I thought it was better-suited to the gingery flavour.
