Thanks, everyone, for the Cherry / Unripe Banana love! I'm smiling, you just can't see.
Turns out I much needed all your happy, smiley comments because I've had a rough couple days. I was supposed to run the NYC Marathon on Sunday, but injured my foot a few weeks back. I thought I could push through, but finally resigned to the fact that I could permanently mess up my foot and might not even finish. And it only took two sports medicine doctors strongly advising me not to run to reach this conclusion. 5 months of training down the tubes:( There's always next year, though! And I know this is nothing in the whole scheme of things.
Anyway, Happy Halloween! Check out our pumpkins:
Mine's the scary one with fangs, J's has the buck teeth. I love mine. Tee hee.
This is our first year in cookie-cutter suburbia, so we've got high hopes of trick-or-treaters trailing in and out of house all night (as long as my pumpkin doesn't scare them away). Otherwise, we'll be getting fat on all the peanut butter cups we bought.
In the wake of a finished sweater, I cast on for a few quick-hit gifts. First, this long-overdue hat for my dad:
Pattern: Utopia Hat by Smariek
Yarn: Karabella Aurora 8 in Charcoal, less than 2 balls
Needles: Size 8 Addis
Comments: all positive for the hat, yarn, and pattern. This hat was a long time coming and was made to match the Sharfik I made for my dad almost 2 years ago!
I also whipped up these super quick socks for our friend's brand new baby.
crappy picture, but it was a quick shot taken at night in case I forgot the next morning (which I did)
Pattern: Baby Socks
Yarn: Sundara Sock Yarn in Cirque leftover from these
Needles: Size 1 Addis
Comments: Quick, easy and a good use for leftover sock yarn. It was a bit touch and go by the end - I was running on yarn fumes and the second sock almost got a "special" mismatched toe. There will be plenty more of these as a procreating trend has broken out in our circle of friends.
Next time, I'll tell you how I doubled my stash at Farmhouse Yarns:
Wednesday, October 31, 2007
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
Done: Unripe Banana aka Cherry
It's been so long since I've written an FO report, I forget how! Yikes. After months of toil on this project, it's finally complete.
Pattern. Cherry by Anna Bell.
Yarn. Jo Sharp Soho Summer DK Cotton in Freesia. 7 and a smidge balls bought dirt cheap at Webs last spring.
Size. 36
Needles. Size 3 and 6 Addis
Time to Knit. July ?? to October 15. I knit the swatch last summer, though.
Other materials. 5 dark red buttons, chocolate brown velvet ribbon.
Comments on Pattern.
Well written and clear. You have to keep track of the stitch pattern as you decrease and increase, which might cause trouble for beginners. Overall, the stitch pattern keeps things interesting, but not overwhelming. It kept me engaged the duration of the project, which is quite a feat!
If you decide to make this definitely spring for an extra ball of yarn. For the size I made (and the size above, in fact), the pattern calls for 7 balls of yarn and I used a bit of an 1/8. Adn I didn't even make the string belt. You might have better luck, but I prefer to play on the safe side. Especially when it takes me a year to make a project.
Like tons of you out there, I'm a wool kind of girl. This cotton didn't make a full convert out of me, but I definitely enjoyed using it and give it two thumbs up. It's soft and light and makes a beautiful, drapey fabric. The yarn's quite splitty, but it is cotton. Oh, and as it's available in a boatload of colors, too, which makes it a nice go-to cotton.
Mods. I added some extra length. A standard for me. Not really a mod, but I used a tubular cast on.
Final Verdict. I'm loving this sweater. The only way I could love it any more would be if I finished it two months ago when it was still short sleeve cotton cardigan weather. Oh, I'll still wear it. Don't you worry. It fits well and matches the rest of my wardrobe. Destined to be a staple, I'm sure.
I have to admit I'm kicking myself for not casting off using the tubular method. The ribbing / castoff of the button band and collar look homeade to me. Blocking helped, but not enough for my critical eye.
Still to be done, but probably never will be because I'm lazy and there's newer projects out there. The yarn belt. And those little buttons that go between the big buttons to prevent gaping.

First, from what I read, you do not have a wireless printer, you connect to your mother's wireless network. She has a printer on her computer that is shared. Now you want to print (through her) to her printer.
If that is correct, then, it sounds like the printer you have in your Printer selection is, or was, your mother's shared printer when you initially had your network only as hers. Since then you have gotten (and screwed up - so you said) your own network. I think your current printer selection, to your mother's printer, is invalid.
I would just delete that current printer selection, then get a new printer once you are on your mother's network again.
By the way, just so this does not go without saying, that setup requires your mother's computer up and running in order for you to used her shared printer. That also means that you both have to be on the same workgroup. A way to avoid those requirements is to get a print server box. That print server will put the printer on the network, so that any computer can access the printer without requiring any other computer to be on at the same time.
(Some of the newer printers are now coming out with network connections built in. Some of those network connections are even wireless. And those are not real expensive computers either. Something you might want to get.)
I have a Toshiba laptop w/windows XP home, remotely connected to my Mom's cable using a linksys router WRT54G w/her HP Pavillion desktop with windows millenium and her HP printer. It was working last year. Since then I have also added cable at my home using a linksys router WRT54G connected to my desktop which is an e-machine w/windows media center and an HP printer. I recently had Best Buy come in because I had screwed up my connection at home. He told me he hadn't changed anything at my Mom's and that all I would have to do is to specify her printer when I print at her home. Not true. I am trying to send a copy of a works spreadsheet. I pull up spreadsheet, go to file menu, then click print, when print screen appears I change to Mom's printer, then OK. Get "microsoft works" window that says "Cannot print the document. Close other applications and check that you have specified the correct printer port, then try again." Still doesn't work. I'm soooo frustrated, I hope someone can help. Thanks so much in advance for any assistance I am given.

Gabrielle Giffords, the former congresswoman who survived a mass shooting in her Arizona constituency, held a private meeting yesterday with families of the 26 victims of last month's gun rampage at a school in Connecticut.
Mrs Giffords was left partially blind and paralysed in her right arm when she was shot in the head while meeting voters at a Tucson grocery shop in January 2011. Arizona's chief federal judge and five others were killed and 13 people, including Mrs Giffords, 42, were hurt. She has since become a gun control advocate.
Earlier this week, she met New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg to discuss stricter gun laws in the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Meanwhile, at Southington, 30 miles from Newtown, a community group is planning a video games amnesty next Saturday, with people invited to swap their violent titles for gift vouchers. The games will be burned. The group, Southington SOS, did not suggest such games caused the Sandy Hook killings but claimed violence in popular culture had "is desensitising our children to acts of violence."

Or this guy here Google Image Result for http://www.aquapages.info/Bristleworm2.jpg
when i first glanced i thought you had gotten a pygmy octopus
never seen anything before like it unless its a larger bristle or a medusa worm. it does look alot like the first link but ofcourse its "unidentified"
what does its head/tail look like? does it appear to have bristles like the standard old bristle worm?
It would be un-ID'd when i actually need it eh?
In the first pic you can see the tail. I don't see a mouth like a normal bristle or medusa
there is a really good hitcher ID site somewhere that has a section for worms and includes many many kinds.. ill see if i can find it
Perfect... Let me know. I put this guy into a 10g tank with SW and see what he does.

Success for All specializes in whole-school turnaround for struggling elementary schools. Its 2010 proposal for an Investing in Innovation (i3) grant called for the program, whose primary goal is to ensure that every child learns to read well in elementary school, to grow from one thousand schools to more than two thousand. The Baltimore-based organization was one of only four to grab the shiniest brass ring in the i3 competition—a five-year, $50 million "scale-up" grant. Teach For America, KIPP, and the Reading Recovery program snared the other three.
This third and final report from MDRC looks at SFA's impacts between kindergarten and second grade in five school districts over a three-year period covered under the i3 grant. A total of thirty-seven schools across five school districts were part of the study—nineteen randomly chosen to implement SFA, along with eighteen control schools that either stuck with their existing reading programs or choose new ones other than SFA.
The report finds that SFA is "an effective vehicle for teaching phonics," showing statistically significant effects for second graders who were in SFA for all three years. SFA students also performed better than the average in reading fluency and comprehension, though not significantly. The...
A small storm has blown up around the fact that certain math items on the 2015 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) do not align with what fourth and eighth graders are actually being taught in a few states—mainly places attempting to implement the Common Core State Standards within their schools' curricula.
NAEP is only administered in grades four, eight, and twelve. So the specific issue is whether the fourth graders who sat for NAEP this spring had a reasonable opportunity to learn the skills, algorithms, techniques—broadly speaking, "the content"—on that test. If their state standards had moved some portion of what used to be fourth-grade math to the fifth or sixth grade, or replaced it with something else entirely, their state's NAEP scores would likely be lower.
This kind of misalignment is blamed for some of the math declines that NAEP recently reported. Department officials in Maryland, for example, examined the NAEP math sub-scores and determined that many Maryland fourth graders are no longer being taught some of those things before they take the test.
We are left to wonder: Should NAEP frameworks and assessments be updated to reflect what's in...
This report, recently released by the Education Commission of the States (ECS), explores how states can better prepare students for successful careers by reviewing policies in thirteen states related to career and technical education (CTE). Specifically, its authors look at whether each state has: (1) facilitated collaboration between education and employer communities to promote CTE and close job gaps; and (2) created CTE learning opportunities and credentials that provide students with multiple pathways to gainful employment in high-skill industries.
Nine of these states do both, often by designating or creating groups responsible for providing these services. Some (such as Colorado) rely on state-level actors. Others opt for regional- and local-level institutions. Louisiana offers "Jump Start CTE programs" that are developed by "regional teams consisting of LEAs, technical and community colleges, business and industry leaders, and economic and workforce development experts."
Ohio has taken a more interesting approach. In the Buckeye State, OhioMeansJobs disseminates workforce-demand data through the K–12 system. Schools then use this information to apprise the students of career opportunities via the Ohio Career Counselling Pilot Program.
Unfortunately, several states in the report fall short. Kentucky has no system in place for schools to collaborate with businesses in need...
Last week, in the wake of President Obama's pledge to reduce the amount of time students spend taking tests, my colleagues Robert Pondiscio and Michael Petrilli weighed in with dueling stances on the current state of testing and accountability in America's schools. Both made valid points, but neither got it exactly right, so let me add a few points to the conversation.
Like Robert, I don't see how we can improve our schools if we don't know how they're doing, which means we need the data we get from standardized tests. But I also believe that—because we're obligated to intervene when kids aren't getting the education they deserve—some tests must inevitably be "high-stakes." The only real alternative to this is an unregulated market, which experience suggests is a bad idea.
Must this logic condemn our children to eternal test-preparation purgatory? I hope not, but I confess to some degree of doubt. The challenge is creating an accountability system that doesn't inadvertently encourage gaming or bad teaching. Yet some recent policy shifts seem to have moved us further away from that kind of system.
As Mike noted, the problem of over-testing has been exacerbated in recent years by the...
What if federal aid for college students were focused exclusively on those who are truly ready for college? What if we stopped subsidizing remedial courses on campuses and insisted that students pursuing higher learning be prepared for college-level courses (none too strenuous nowadays in many places)? And what if those courses were also made available to young people even before they matriculated to a four-year program?
That would be a revelation and a revolution. But it might also do more to get young Americans and their schools serious about college readiness than anything we've dreamed up previously. It would save money. And it would end a great fraud that causes many college students to drop out—usually with heavy loan debts to either repay or default on—when they realize that they've been sorely misled as to their true preparedness for advanced-level academics.
Consider the irony: Today, federal financial support is available for eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds to study high school math and English after they reach a college campus (a vast percentage of them are required to take these remedial classes); yet such aid is unavailable to academically aggressive sixteen- and seventeen-year olds from low-income households, who could accelerate their academic progress by taking...
Over the weekend, President Barack Obama received high praise from parents and teachers for acknowledging that testing is taking too much time away from teaching, learning and fostering creativity in schools, and recommending that standardized tests take up no more than 2 percent of total school instructional time. Frankly, this is arrant nonsense.
From time to time, I'm asked to give a talk about education. If I look at how I spend my time over the course of a year, giving presentations and speeches is a very small part of my job—less than 2 percent. However, if my effectiveness were to be judged on the audience response to the handful of talks I give each year, I'd spend a lot more time writing and practicing speeches. I'd fret endlessly over my PowerPoint slides and leave-behinds. I'd sprinkle in more jokes to be entertaining; I'd probably say whatever I thought would get audiences to like me more, rather than challenging my listeners. I'd definitely spend a lot more on suits and dry cleaning than I do now.
But most critically, I'd spend far less time on all the other things I do—writing, reading,...
The French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal famously posited that whether or not one believes in God, it behooves us to behave as if he exists. What have you got to lose? If you're right, you wind up heaven and spare yourself eternal punishment in hell. And if not, well, what did it cost you apart from a few earthly pleasures here and there? Pascal's Wager basically suggests that your upside is infinite, while your downside is relatively small. So do the right thing.
We need a Pascal's Wager of curriculum. Schools are going to teach something, so it behooves us to ensure that the textbooks, workbooks, and software we put in front of students are coherent and of high quality. As this report from the Center for American Progress shows, crappy curriculum costs every bit as much as the good stuff. The authors found "little relationship" between the cost and quality of instructional products. And switching to a more rigorous math curriculum, for example, can deliver far greater returns on investment than other reforms. "The average cost-effectiveness ratio of switching curriculum was almost forty times that of class-size reduction in a well known randomized experiment," the report notes.
Intel's recent announcement that it will cease sponsoring and underwriting the prestigious Science Talent Search, which it took over from Westinghouse in 1998, is another nail in the coffin of gifted education in the United States.
Unlike many European and Asian countries, which are awash in academic competitions, Olympiads, and other status-laden contests that bright students vie to win, American K‒12 education has relatively few that anyone notices. There is, of course, the National Spelling Bee, which Scripps has valiantly stuck with since 1941. But spelling bees are for middle schoolers. The big deal for high schoolers, especially those with a bent toward STEM subjects, has long been the Science Talent Search, which President George H. W. Bush called the "Super Bowl of science."
Intel's turnabout surprised former CEO Craig Barrett and disheartened many of us who care about both STEM and gifted education. It's another sign of America's inattention to its high-ability learners, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances. That neglect is what triggered the publication of our new book, Failing Our Brightest Kids: The Global Challenge of Educating High-Ability Students. All sorts of data—from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, from research studies like the 2011 Fordham...

This review is from: Thermaltake WATER2.0 Pro Closed-Loop All In One Liquid CPU Cooler Dual 120mm PWM Fans 120x49mm Radiator CLW0216
Pros: It worked for a bit
Cons: Pump seems to have died or whatever liquid they use evaporated/leaked/ran away. In any case, it no longer cools anything and burned up a CPU with it...
Other Thoughts: Thermaltake doesn't seem to respond to support inquiries when something actually breaks.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: WD My Net AC1300 HD Dual-Band Router - Wireless AC1300Mpbs+ 450Mpbs , 5 Gigabit Ports, 2x USB 2.0, Dual-Band 2.4GHz/5GHz (WDBWNJ0000NBL-HESN)
Pros: reboots are fastish....
routing speed is great
Cons: Wireless is absolutely horrible, 2.4ghz/5ghz/ac, doesn't seem to matter. Wireless starts getting extremely slow to the point that it just stops working (for internal traffic and internet). Won't come back until the router is rebooted. And even when it is working the wireless speeds are horrible. And this is being compared to an extremely old beat up netgear 3700v1 running Gargoyle.
Other Thoughts: Based off my experience with WD so far, I will never purchase a network product from them again... So said I missed my return period by 9hrs....READ FULL REVIEW

I finally FOUND this! It was unclear whether or not this was an actual series or the same as "Torchwood Declassified"... I am soooo stoked to find this!!!!! I am sooooo going to have a marathon on my hands now! I thought that Children of Earth would be the last that I saw of this show, which is one of the best SciFi series of all time, in my opinion! Thank you Starz for picking it up and thank you Mr. Russell T. Davies for making this and recently saying that this show is not gone for good! THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE, I JUST READ THAT IT IS ON AN 'INDEFINATE HIATUS' which means they could very well be back for more at any time!! Love British TV!! They know when they have something GREAT and they have no qualms about running for fifty years if they have to for the quality and for the huge amount of fans! (Ex: Dr. Who has been on since the fifties and the medical drama "Emergency" (I think) has been on for like 40+ seasons!!) So excited... Capt. Jack and Gwen... Here I come! Whooo HOO! Just my 2 cents.. Trish

It took me several attempts to watch this show, - after Doctor Who I really needed time to "de-Who" for a while. Picked this show up a few weeks and must agree it is absolutely one of the best si-fy shows ever. Sublime acting and great stories.

@donelliott357 Don't like it? Don't watch it. Many people, who aren't raised with hate, which is the majority of the modern society, don't see anything wrong with this tv show. If you're only excuse of hating this tv show is because of the gay romance, get off my planet because the last thing we need is ignorant thoughts. There is nothing wrong with homosexuals, or "fags". Also, I actually don't give a single damn fuck about what the Bible thinks about homosexuality. Why would God create homosexuality in the first place? Last thing, none of us thinks about the Bible, or religion in general, when we watch this. I just have one question for you; other than the Bible says so, why do you dislike/hate "fags"? Damn. I wrote that entire thing just to look up and see that his comments were 3 months ago. FML.

lol I am a huge fan of the Doctor and Torchwood do a little research and you will see they came up with the name torchwood just because it was a anagram of doctor who might try watching the end of doctor who season one starting with the empty child after all it was where they first introduced captain jack

To anybody looking for another show like Doctor Who... This is not it. This show is incredibly more serious, very dark, and a lot raunchier. Definitely projected at an older audience than Doctor Who. Unlike the Doctor, this contains Sex, Blood, Extreme Violence, Partial Nudity, Profane Language, etc. & Reminds me of Joss Whedon's Television Show "Angel" But, All that being said, it still is a fantastic show, and if you are part of an older audience, this show is much more fascinating and thrilling, and doesn't hold back at all like Doctor Who. As an avid fan of both shows, I would recommend either to those looking for something different. Highly Recommended, but don't expect a Doctor Who Redux.

I think its Jack's younger brother, Gray. If you think about it, Gray hates Jack and Torchwood and could have possibly thawed out and escaped when Torchwood was destroyed and the assassin guy that rex shot said some shit about family, but who knows, just a theory. :D

ok i just thought about a plot hole jack is a fixed point in space and time (doctor who) how the fuck do you get around that the doctor couldn't and they did it by making the entire human race immortal yet damageable. jack is suppose to be just there, forever, until his life force runs out (also happens in doctor who)

Yes, Captin jack comes from doctor who and in doctor who you find how how it is he is immortal

My friends, it appears we've seen to last of Torchwood. According to epguides.com and several articles I've ready in the past week, our beloved TW has been cancelled. Personally, I adored s4, but I can see how it had struggled after killing off such beloved characters so quickly and so close to each other. So sad, another great show gone to the chopping block :(

Grizzly Bear: Veckatimest
It's still quite shocking that Grizzly Bear's debut, Yellow House, caused the commotion it did. The Brooklyn four-piece was clearly adept at exploring harmonies that intermingled within fairly odd, acoustic-backed arrangements — but instead of words, often they cooed their way through much of the record. In that sense, Veckatimest is a giant step forward — lyrics abound, and Papa Bear Edward Droste turns a number of the lead vocal duties over to Daniel Rossen (who made a splash last year with his critically acclaimed Department of Eagles project). In a live setting, this band has always been about creating an intimate, sometimes otherworldly vibe, which manifests itself here, too. Songs like "Dory" and "Ready, Able" are gorgeous, floating pieces that pair faint, traditional "indie" guitar riffs with a rhythmic yet atmospheric texture. Opener "Southern Point" and lead single "Two Weeks" skirt along the lines of folkier pop — you think you hear Crosby, Stills & Nash at one moment, but they shift tempos so quickly, yet smoothly, you know it's more than just a "Wooden Ships" rip. While Yellow House had its down moments, here they've balanced that out with refined vocals and a drive for rhythm. With high-profile gigs with Paul Simon and Radiohead last year, the pressure was surely on to deliver something spectacular. Veckatimest does.

A slowdown in Chinese economic growth shouldn't be cause for worry in the rest of the world because it is a sign that the government is creating a more sustainable path, according to The Economist. "For many economists, this structural slowdown is inevitable and welcome," the magazine says. "It marks an evolution in China's growth model, as it narrows the technological gap with leading economies and shifts more of its resources into services."

After our first visit, the food and staff were so great we came another time within the same week. Their stout is very good. Burgers were awesome. Fish and chips were good and they gave such generous portions.
This is a great neighborhood edition!!!
Had the best waitress ever, she was honest about the food-which was great-and very nice. I would rrcommend this pub
We shopped around for about an hour before stumbling upon 66. We were pleasantly surprised to find a microbrew amongst the liquor stores and run-down restaurants.

We ordered the mac & cheese, sliced steak and the Reuben. They were all good & the service was very nice. Not jumping out of my skin however. Their burgers are also good.

Being on the road for the last five months, we've experienced a lot of sub par beers posing as craft brews and uninteresting, same-old style fare to go along with them. Not so at this place. It's in a cool spot that's easy to get to, has great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. The beers are sublime and the food...
I've been going to Elevation 66 (wonderful name) since it opened. It's a go-to kind of place, since it's three doors north of the Rialto El Cerrito Theater, which makes it a reasonable place to go before or after a movie. The food is often inspired; not a huge amount of choice, but what you can get is truly tasty,...

American Anthropological Association Meeting, Chicago, November 2013

I am looking for panelists to present research on how personal names are used in the construction of identities. We will start with an understanding of identities as emergent through performance, jointly produced and adapted to context. The aim is to bring together anthropologists interested in onomastics to explore how personal names are treated both as linguistic structures and as symbolic resources.

Lighting on a section of the Cedar River Trail - the pedestrian crossing under the I-405 Bridge over Cedar River - used to cause problems for migrating salmon fry. The lights shone down on the river, slowing the passage of the young salmon and making them more visible to predators. To meet this challenge, Washington State Department of Transportation technicians mounted custom-made black rubber shields onto the bridge trail lights. Now the young salmon can swim quickly and with much less risk of predation.

Fault Tolerance in Grid Using Ant Colony Optimization and Directed Acyclic Graph
By day to day developing the grid systems, it is necessary to apply new methods for allocating the resources to achieving the high performance in heterogeneous computing environment. This paper aims to seeking for a new approach by which one can allocate the tasks using a modified version of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm such that this algorithm cannot be involved in local minimum. Tasks will be entered to the system by Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This method tried to allocate the tasks to the processors in short time such that the tolerability of system may be considerably increased against faults. Any allocation stage comprised from two different phases and for any phase there has been provided new heuristic function.

British food producers are increasingly responding to this change by offering home-grown alternatives to many European foods. Some examples, such as Welsh mozzarella, are no more than cheap and cheerful copies, but there are also cases in which British versions of European standards are so well-crafted and delicious as to satisfy even the most demanding Frenchman.
Oysters were a common feature of the British diet until pollution, over- fishing and disease virtually wiped out native stocks. Most oysters farmed today, both in Britain and in France, are Pacifics, which are hardier and faster growing than the native British variety. An exception to this rule is the Duchy of Cornwall Oyster Farm in Port Navas, near Falmouth, where Len Hodges has, with the help of some judicious "seeding", encouraged the return of natives to the Helford estuary. It is not only customers at Mr Hodges' quayside shop who share his belief that these are superior by far to the farmed Pacifics so popular in Brittany; smart restaurants in France and Spain are creating an insatiable demand for native Cornish oysters.
Edible snails were introduced to Britain by the Romans although, unlike the French, we have long ceased to regard them with much relish. In parts of the west country, however, they were gathered for the table in quite recent times and Nicola French, at Beechfield Farm near Langport, now runs one of England's few surviving snail farms. Petit gris, collected in the wild, are fattened up in poly-tunnels on a diet of green salad for sale to restaurants and to locals with a taste for fresh escargots.
An ideal accompaniment to Somerset escargots might be garlic from the Isle of Wight, where Colin Boswell at Mersley Farm produces 100 tons of bulbs each season. The days of British prejudice against garlic are long over, for as a nation we now consume more than 2,000 tons a year, most of it imported from France, Spain, California or even China. Though Mersley Farm still remains the only commercial grower in this country, they already export bulbs to Paris, where they are sold by Marks and Spencer. Indeed the Isle of Wight is so proud of its exotic harvest that a Garlic Festival is held each August, attracting more than 30,000 visitors last year.
English ham is traditionally cooked after a few months of curing, in contrast to continental air-dried hams, which are eaten thinly sliced and raw. Richard Woodall, whose family have been producing bacon, ham and sausages in Cumbria since 1828, was Britain's first butcher to experiment with the methods used in Parma and Bayonne. His hams are cured in salt and saltpetre, along with a few herbs and spices, then hung up to mature for at least a year. The longer they are left, the better they become, according to Mr Woodall, whose one regret is that he must watch his plump and juicy hams slowly shrink to one fifth of their weight during the long drying process. Mr Woodall also make a fine pancetta and he has recently discovered an unexpected market for his dry-cured bacon. The Belgians love to eat it raw.
Air-dried ham is also made by Amanda Streatfield and her husband at Denhay Farm in Dorset. The cure they use is more elaborate than Mr Woodall's, with apple juice and honey added to the brine, and their hams are oak- smoked in the manner of Westphalia. La Grande Epicerie in Paris recently became Denhay Ham's first European outlet.
British cheeses have enjoyed a huge revival over recent years and respectable versions of camembert and brie are now produced in England, particularly in Somerset. For those who like some pungency and tang, however, there are hand-crafted Scottish cheeses that can rival any to be smelt across the channel. Bonchester, made from unpasteurised Jersey milk, ripens to the melting richness of a perfect camembert, whilst Lanark Blue, from ewes' milk, is more than comparable with Roquefort. Rawmilk cheeses are however treated with suspicion in this country. In a recent, protracted battle with health and safety regulations it took expert evidence from French scientists to save Lanark Blue from official condemnation.
When it comes to choosing English wines to accompany such food, Penshurst Seyval Blanc or Lamberhurst Fume would be perfect with the snails or oysters. Matured in old oak casks, either might impress a Frenchman, so long as he was not allowed to see the label. In years when the Sussex climate is sufficiently forgiving, Lamberhurst also make a red wine from a blend of French and Russian vines. As one of England's largest and best-established vineyards, Lamberhurst are now starting to attack the European market through an outlet appropriately sited in the Belgian town of Waterloo.
Whilst the French may favour malt whisky as a digestif, an excellent alternative to Calvados is Somerset apple brandy. Distilled in old French stills and matured in wooden vats, Julian Temperley's Somerset Royal has a fresh clean taste of apples, whilst his Five Year Old is as velvety and subtle as mature cognac. Later on this year he will be launching Britain's first "eau de vie" onto an unsuspecting market. This innocently clear liquid is so potent that a single glass could silence any argument about the quality of British food and drink.

very good hotel
I will not stay again. old hotel, mouldy smell. bath tubs r dirty, room service sucks
Old hotel setup especially the toilet.. Shower tab was broken so can't use hot water
Nice hotel, clean spacious room, warm service and good buffet spread for breakfast.
The room is clean but there is a bad smell I think it is from the toilet, I stay at ground floor,the bed is comfortable, the hotel staff is helpful, as my room's smoke detectors is out of order, they attend to my complain immediately and get it fix. The plus point is the hotel provide free shuttle service to pyramid sunway shopping mall.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Ultimately I'm trying to tether (usb cable to pc) to use phones existing data plan (and NOT buy a hotspot package) for pc internet use. Could do that on my Blackberry easily before. Looks like a Samsung WP device allows the "modem" setting in diagnostics mode. My Lumina aparently does not allow that setting in diag mode.
I enter my diagnostics menu and I don't see the "USB Path Control" settings for this phone. Other phones will allow you to switch from zune sync, modem tethering call but that is not an option with my Nokia Lumina 900 on this version of the phone os. Any help would be appreciated.
Any help appreciated.

The annual offseason round of managerial musical chairs has unfolded in a fashion few could have envisioned.
With just the minor issues of who will manage the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs left to be resolved, here's what we know thus far:
Mike Matheny has a job. So does Robin Ventura.
Terry Francona does not have a job. And probably will not until 2013.
And the Cubs and Red Sox are ready to go to battle again -- over Dale Sveum?
Yes, it's a great offseason to be a dark-horse, first-time managerial candidate.
That was evident on Sunday when Matheny -- beloved in the Cardinals clubhouse when he played there last decade -- surprised the field and was named as Tony La Russa's successor in St. Louis. He was hired over two solid candidates who more fit the managerial mold -- a respected in-house option in Jose Oquendo, and a proven, World Series-winning veteran baseball man in Francona.
For sure, Matheny, who will be introduced Monday morning, will come cheaper than Francona. At 41, he is the major leagues' youngest manager and reportedly will earn less than Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan. He's never managed at any level and has never even been a full-time coach.
But clearly, teams are getting over any angst that may come with hiring a first-time manager.
Two of the NL's 2011 division winners, the Diamondbacks and Brewers, featured rookie managers in Kirk Gibson and Ron Roenicke (though Gibson got his feet wet in finishing out 2010 as the interim man in Arizona).
Only Ozzie Guillen, who departed the White Sox for an expected appointment by the now Miami Marlins, landed on his feet after leaving an old job.
Meanwhile, the White Sox hired Ventura, whose post-playing career was spent largely in a broadcast booth or helping out a high school team in California before he returned to the Sox as a player development assistant this past year.
And as for the Cubs and Red Sox? Well, they both apparently are hot on a candidate who at least has a managerial resume -- all of 12 games -- to speak of.
Sveum was the Brewers' "break glass in case of emergency" option in 2008, when the club was in an incredible free fall in the wild-card race with Ned Yost at the helm. Yost was fired and Sveum kept them afloat long enough to make the playoffs.
Now, he may have his choice of marquee jobs.
Sveum will have a second interview with the Red Sox at this week's general managers' meetings, which would appear to make him a favorite over their other finalists -- Torey Lovullo, Pete Mackanin, Sandy Alomar Jr. and Gene Lamont.
Again, not a lot of managerial heavyweights in that group. Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy thinks that's no coincidence, that the Red Sox are hoping to land someone willing to take a lot of, shall we say, input, from the front office.
Sveum may be that guy, unless the Cubs may get to him, first.
It's not surprising the Cubs and Sox would be jousting for the same candidate, given that new Cubs GM Theo Epstein left behind his Mini-Me, Ben Cherington, in Boston (just check out the vocal inflections here; downright Theo-esque). Their list of interviewees looks a lot like Boston's, too: Sveum, Alomar, Mackanin and Mike Maddux, who refused an interview in Boston for, he said, family reasons.
On the outside looking in? Francona. It stands to reason he could use a year to recharge after a grim final season in Boston. If he spends that year in a national broadcast booth, it will be a win for baseball fans who enjoyed his work for Fox during the ALCS.
And perhaps by 2013, dugout recycling will be in again.

As traders become more familiar with the MT4 platform, they will find certain tips and tricks that help save time or that make a process easier. Here are a few to get traders started.
Traders have the option of saving chart groups: how the charts and different windows are arranged on the screen. The layout can be saved by clicking on the "Profiles" icon and selecting "Save Profile As." Many different Profiles can be saved, allowing traders a choice in how their screens appear. To access a Profile, click on the "Profiles" icon and select from the drop-down list. Several default profiles are included in the drop-down menu.
Trendlines are drawn on charts primarily to help identify areas of support and resistance. Click on the "Trendline" icon to draw a trendline on the chart: click and drag to define the trendline, and then release the mouse button. Double-click on the trendline to make changes to it:
- Click and drag either end of the trendline to rotate.
- Click and drag the center box of the trendline to move the trendline to a different price level.
- Hold the keyboard's "Ctrl" button and click on the trendline to draw a parallel trendline.
- Right-click to open the "Trendline Properties" box to adjust the color and style and define other parameters.
- Right-click and select "Delete" to remove the trendline. (For related reading, see The Utility Of Trendlines.)
The crosshair mode can be quickly accessed by clicking the middle mouse button. While the crosshair mode is in use, traders can move the crosshair over any price bar, or any part of a price bar, and the corresponding time and price values will be readily identifiable. Figure 20 illustrates this concept. The crosshair mode is useful when determining specific time and price values, such as when looking for a recent high or low, or when identifying when a bar printed. The crosshair mode can also be chosen by clicking the "Crosshair" icon in the toolbar.
|Figure 20: Crosshair mode makes it easy to find a price bar\'s high or low, and the time and day that the bar printed.
Deleting Drawing Objects
The last drawing object that is drawn, whether it is a trendline or a Fibonacci retracement, can be removed from the chart by clicking on the keyboard's backspace button. Continue clicking the backspace button to remove additional objects. (For related reading, see Taking The Magic Out Of Fibonacci Numbers.)
When more than one chart is open, tabs will appear under the chart windows. Each tab will have the name of the symbol and its time frame. Double-clicking on a tab allows traders to switch between viewing a single chart and seeing all charts displayed at the same time. The display can be adjusted by clicking "Window" in the tool bar and selecting from the drop-down list. Choices include "Cascade," which stacks the charts one on top of another; and "Tile Horizontally," which creates equally-sized charts and arranges them in a tidy manner.

Re: Keep losing all wi-fi saved passwords
This is apparently a very common problem in Android 4.4.2. It arises when your device's creates a Google Backup for everything but there is nothing on their side of the server. So, the solution is to simply disable Google backups on your device and tada, your problem will be resolved. However, do remember that doing so won't bring back any forgotten passwords.

Re: Keep losing all wi-fi saved passwords
Some of us, with the same problem are trying now to switch sync completely off with the taskbar Sync button.
Everytime we switch Sync on for a very short time,max a minute and then off again.
Could you also try this? Iw your WIFI settings stay ok we maybe can narrow down the problem.
