Lock up yer saucers, MasterChef (BBC1) is back. Or as narrator India Fisher put it in the first line of her voiceover: "MasterChef is back."
To casual viewers of TV cookery contests it feels like it never really goes away, haunting our midweek schedules like a Chandler Bing's fussball table or DCI June Ackland's Met-issue blouse. There they are, John and Gregg, Torode and Wallace spooning flan into their gizzards as we do the same at home with our M&S Dine in for £10 gammon.
So, how many more series of MasterChef are sustainable? And, more importantly, how many smartarse TV reviews of MasterChef are sustainable? Is it hand-caught sustainable sea bass or ocean-trawled Atlantic cod? Does cooking still not get tougher than this?
To find out, John Torode – who recently enlightened this newspaper with the joys of barbecuing a chicken with an open beer can inside (Aussie classic ''beer can chicken') – and the slimmed-down, vaguely Harry Hilly, Gregg Wallace once more invited six home chefs to cook to the death. Or at least the quarter-finals.
Gregg and John's first victim of 2014 was Rob, a management consultant who had self-diagnosed himself with a minor case of the Hestons. For the opening "calling card" test of the heat, Rob had decided to take one of the home cook's trickier dishes – beef wellington – and deconstruct it. An Alleged Beef Wellington, if you will. Diddling with a classic like the beef welly is a dangerous game in any kitchen, let alone one ruled by two pie-lovers.

I thought the Alleged Wellington looked all right, but that's why I'm at home dribbling over chewy steak and not busy planning my next series for the Good Food Channel. Torode was livid at Rob's pie effrontery:
[This bit sounds better if you read it in the voice of Joe Pesci in the "some kind of clown" scene in 'Goodfellas']
TORODE: "To take a grand classic and take it apart is a really game thing to do. And now what we've got [dramatic pause] is a steak with mushrooms and a pastry straw and it doesn't have the same impact."
[Raises hands. Followed by close-up of unnecessarily aggressive cutting of Alleged Wellington. Then...]
"Your sauce turns your pastry soggy, your meat soggy, your purée soggy and your mushroom soggy… That's the WONDER of the beef wellington, everything is wrapped up. Do you know what a beef wellington is? It's the poshest pie in the whole world. And it's a pie."
A pie, Rob. A pie. After being sent to the dumper after two rounds, Rob even deconstructed his own performance: "I think I can hold my head high"
Everyone else impressed the pair, at least a little bit. Affable Robert, with his Felix Magath specs, impressed by making ravioli using instant mash powder. Which came off, and formed part of the portfolio that saw him sail through to the next round. The impressive Sumera even got a terrace chant of her name from Gregg when he saw her collection of spices.
But mine and the judges' favourite was 22-year-old Holly. She made it through to the next round thanks to her fine palate and dishes like her five-spiced duck breast with carrot and orange purée (as well as impressing three noted MasterChef alumni with her sea bass and figs).
But it was her healthy mix of soft-spokenness and wonderful veiled contempt for Torode's criticisms that made her an early horse to back in the endless derby that is a MasterChef season. So vamos, Holly! And welcome back, chaps. It hardly felt like you were away.Reuse content

The backers of a massive fish farm off the coast of San Diego are starting to get a sense of all the hurdles they'll need to overcome to pull the project off.
The city's water department is afraid pollution from the fish farm could trigger a regulatory chain reaction that could cost city water customers $2 billion.
The Navy worries that cages of fish five miles off the coast could interfere with its operations. Those operations or debris from them could accidentally drift into the cages, the Navy warned in a recent letter.
The agencies' concerns challenge the project's backers, the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, a nonprofit, and Cuna del Mar, a private equity firm. Their plan to raise 11 million pounds of fish offshore is the most ambitious aquaculture project of its kind in the United States.

New 57G tank
I'm getting a new about 57G tank soon and I was wondering what products or items do I need to get and which brands are the best quality to use. Also if I were to use sand what kind of sand should I use.
post #2 of 4 Old 01-13-2008, 12:25 AM
Whoa here. First of all you will need to decide what type of fish you are going to keep. Tetras do not like the same biotope as Tangyikan dwarf cichlids. Is the tank going to be planted or unplanted? Blackwater or hard, alkaline water? From there, you will be able to make decisions on equipment, substrate, filtration, lighting, ect. Do not put the cart ahead of the horse.
post #3 of 4 Old 01-13-2008, 01:06 AM
Absolutely agree with the above statement. As far as sand goes, pool filter sand is cheap and good looking. I bought 100 lbs. for my 120g oscar tank for about $14.
post #4 of 4 Old 01-13-2008, 01:57 AM Thread Starter
I was thinking some German Blue Rams some dwarf gouramis and some tetras not sure what kind yet and would it be ok with some angelfish.

Hi again Alteera,
Are you getting the idea that the theme of your llife at your new place will
be "Me Against the Deer"? (They are majestic). Another quick solution is to
have a couple pieces of large square wire (i.e. sheep fencing) say, 4 x 6'.
If I notice a plant area or prize specimen that might be the next victim and
I don't have time (or energy) to do anything else I grab a piece of wire and
throw it over or right next to the plant. Theoretically the deer shy from
stepping on it because the hooves get stuck in it. So far it's worked. Also
I set it down on known deer pathways. I read that you can do something with
this type of fencing similar to the fish line mesh idea that George
mentioned and build a horizontal fence laid flat across the ground but
elevated about 10 inches above the ground and it would work sort of like a
cattle gaurd works. It would be less expensive than a vertical fence since 8
feet high is required vertically. Luckily, the Deer Off (which is organic,
not chemicals) is much easier. I wonder if the Bitrex that George mentioned
is environmentally friendly because it sounded surely permanent for the
summer whereas I've not risked finding out if Deer Off REALLY does withstand
weather like the label says. Don't want to push my luck!
Best of luck!

horikawa rotate-o-matic super astronaut (1968)
This is another childhood toy - its back story isn't as involved as the one for my Snoopy music box, but it still sounds a little like something out of The Velveteen Rabbit. Well, if The Velveteen Rabbit were sealed in a tin space suit with machine guns on his chest, anyway.
One of my father's co-workers had a son of his own, and that little boy was this toy's original owner. It seems that the robot had stopped working at some point, but by the time that my dad's friend had repaired it, his son had outgrown the toy. So my dad's friend gave it to my dad, and my dad gave it to me. It's a little sad, thinking about this toy just sitting around waiting to be played with again. Still, it got a new owner, and I can only anthropomorphize toys so much before I start to realize that I have one the biggest toy jails in the country...
Regardless, this is a beautiful toy! There's a lot of bright, colorful detail in the lithos, and the bulk of the robot is solidly constructed. I like the nifty 'astronaut' illustration in the head, and the plastic visor really makes it feel like a helmet. The sunken 'gauges' along the beltline are also awesome-looking. The main body shapes are suitably blocky and mechanical - in fact, they were re-used on several other models!
The walking movement looks great, with the extra bonus of a periodic pause, the chest doors popping open (moving the inner weapons forward), and a body spin as the machine guns noisily open fire, blinking red all the while! Clearly not a great toy for cat owners.
It's not a particularly rare item, but it's old enough and popular enough that it won't be cheap to buy. Here's one for sale on eBay for $165.00 + $11.62 shipping. Enjoy!

Because let's face it the 3 minute recaps of the week don't exactly scream personal. Cheryl is an amazing dancer and person. I've come to respect her even more after reading her delightful book. :)
Gave a lot of insight into the dance world. I liked Cheryl the best of all the pros before reading the book, and after reading the book my opinion has strengthened. Very well written!
I love ballroom dancing and dancing with the stars! This book tells about the heartfelt and cool life of Cheryl Berk. A must read book.
marvelous book ---told her story without getting too personal
Cheryl burke shows that you can acheive anything if you never give up. It holds bits of sadness and lots of drama. She overcame abusive realtionships as a teen and child molestion to get where she is today. She is like a role model to me and an amazing two time DWTS champion. GO CHERYL!!!!
I have started reading the book and is is horrible! Anyone who has yet to read it dont try reading it. You will be wasting your time and money.
I love dacing! All types of dancing. I've been looking for a dace book and i think this one will work. I hope its a good book.
The book was inspiring in many different ways....body image, past issues, living your dreams. Thanks Cheryl!

Michael Lin
The Center for Contemporary Art Luigi Pecci of Prato will host, from October 17 to February 13, 2011, the first big retrospective in Italy of Thai artist Michael Lin
"Please take your shoes off before stepping into the carpet. Choose freely the music that you prefer from the collection." We're not at the home of someone we know, friendly and a bit formal, but at the Pecci Museum in Prato. Giving us the invite is Thai artist Michael Lin on the occasion of his exhibition The colour is bright the beauty is generous.
Lin presents a large number of pieces, together with works made since 1996 and more recent installations, made site-specific for the Pecci. The Japanese architects of Atelier Bow-Wow, that are representing Japan at the moment in the 2010 Architecture Biennial in Venice, are collaborating with the artist.
Lin, known for big mural paintings that are focused on the typical Thai decorative motifs, also dresses and hugs ideally the exposition rooms to renovate the idea that, to him, a museum or a gallery are above all spaces to start a social discourse and human interaction.
The exhibition presents important moments in Lin's career, like "Complementary" (1998) - that consists on a mobile platform on which visitors are invited to sit and rest on some tatamis - or more political and social commentary works, like Spring 2003: a floor inspired by an Afghan carpet, with tank, hand bombs and machine gun motifs that the artist contrasts with couches with bright floral Thai motives.
Big pieces are also present, like the mural painting that runs along three rooms of the museum and enters in dialogue with David Tremlett's permanent piece Wall Drawing #1 (2006), with the floor of a whole room, covered in painted floral motifs.
Adding to the long line of artists throughout history that have developed the aesthetics of the sublime of romantic memory, Michael Lin combines emotion and beauty in an exhibition of rare generosity and profound lightness, as few are.

Creative crowd welcome new Central showcase PMQ
PMQ will provide subsidised studios for local creative enterprises in renovated heritage site
Artists and designers from across Hong Kong yesterday praised the development of a new cultural hub in the city's Soho neighbourhood for supporting creative enterprises.
Located in Central on the site of the former Hollyroad Road police married quarters, the PMQ centre will offer subsidised studio space to fledgling enterprises, which would otherwise be unable to afford rent in the city, they say.
"The beauty of this place is that it can help the young kids coming out of school: the 22-, 23- and 24-year-olds who need a little bit of space to get their operations started," said George Migliorelli, a leather craftsman who moved his business to PMQ from a "little hole in the wall" in Siu Sai Wan. "There is not much help in Hong Kong for creative industries. This is a good first step," Migliorelli said.
Set for a soft launch on May 9, PMQ may well provide a breath of fresh air for Hong Kong residents tired of shopping centres and chain stories.
The project aims to provide more than 100 studios for tenants in the fields of fashion and product design, furniture, food as well as arts and other crafts, according to PMQ executive director Victor Tsang.
It will also host art exhibitions, night markets and creative workshops in a bid to attract the public and encourage arts in the city, Tsang said.
For Elsa Jean de Dieu, co-founder of artisanal paint shop Effect, the cheaper rent at PMQ played a big role in her decision to set up in the centre.
"The rent in Hong Kong kills the small designer," she said. "Hong Kong is a business city, with not a lot of creativity. But it is becoming more and more artistic."
Rent for the 430 square foot studios could be as low as HK$11,000 per month, but the cost is dependent on the financial needs of the tenants, said PMQ creative director William To.
Funding for the project came primarily from the government - which granted HK$400 million - but also from private donors and sponsors, who donated up to HK$110 million, Tsang said.
The site provided residence for police officers and their families between 1951 and 2000, before undergoing renovations in 2012.

She walks into the chamber
Through the iron door
The doors are closed behind her
She will prove to them
She can become a knight
A female can earn her shield
Just as much as a male can
With her courage
She awaits the fears the chamber will show
She knows not to utter a word
The chamber shows her fears
Of family and friends being killed
Of lives she cannot save
It hurts her
The images stop
The door opens
Out she steps to receive her shield
I am a woman
A Lady Knight

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Phoebe Hawkins was twenty years old, handsome, well-born, and with a fortune of fifty thousand pounds. Here she was, at the start of her second London season, the world at her feet, and yet if there were a more miserable young lady in all of London, she would be surprised.
It was mid-morning. Phoebe was standing in the study of her family's London house, a fine building in Aubrey Square, looking across the desk at her father, Sir Giles Hawkins, with a mixture of despair and hatred.
Phoebe had been fast asleep, lost in dreams of present and future bliss, when her maid abruptly awakened her, saying that Sir Giles wanted to speak to her at once. And with the quick sensibility of a young woman in love, she knew exactly why her father had summoned her. Mr. Stanhope must have called, just as he said he would, to ask for her hand in marriage -- "As to my heart, you already have it," she had told him. Perhaps he was downstairs now, at this very moment, waiting for her. Phoebe shrugged herself into a morning gown with more speed than care, and stood, wild with impatience, while Miniver did up the hooks and coaxed a brush through her tangled hair.
Phoebe did not for a moment expect her father would raise any objection. To be sure, Arthur Stanhope was some ten years older than she, but that was no kind of an age difference. He was rich, well-bred, and would one day inherit his father's title.
So it was with utter disbelief that she heard her father's cold and definite words.
"There is no possible way that I would give my consent to your marriage to Mr. Stanhope." Phoebe's heart missed a beat. She had misheard, this couldn't be right. "I don't understand," she cried. "Mr. Stanhope wants to marry me, and I wish to be his wife. How can you refuse your consent?"
Sir Giles shook his head. "You and Mr. Stanhope are not going to marry. I expressly forbid it. It is nearly a year until you are of age, but I will not give you any hope that at the end of that period you will be able to marry him. He knows that I am not prepared to give my consent, now or in the future. You may think that when you are one-and-twenty you will be able to marry whom you please. However, should you go against my wishes in this matter, do not expect to take your fortune with you. I have control of that until you are twenty-five. You may say Mr. Stanhope will take you as you are, without a penny to your name. But he knows that at present he cannot marry you, and I told him that by the time you attain your majority, you will have forgotten him."
"How can this be? When did you speak to him? Has he been to the house this morning? Why did you not call me sooner? Why was I not allowed to see him?" Phoebe put her hand on the corner of her father's desk, feeling quite dizzy. She could not believe that this was happening to her. How could her father, her kind, affectionate father, be speaking to her in this cold and forceful way?
"Mr. Stanhope called upon me to ask formally for your hand in marriage. I told him, as I am now telling you, that there can be no question of my agreeing to him marrying you. I have asked him not to seek an interview with you, and not to approach you, or talk to you, should you meet at any of the parties and functions which lie ahead. I cannot say that he took it in good part, but he is a man with some sense of honour, and when he considers what I had to say, he will see that I am right."
Phoebe pressed her hands to her ears, wanting to shut out her father's cruel words. Why was he behaving like this? Forget Mr. Stanhope, and in the few brief months until her birthday? Impossible! She was in love with him, as he was with her, how could they forget one another? She tried to explain this to her father, but he brushed her words aside. "It is not for you to decide whether you may or may not accept an offer of marriage. While you must have a preference, an engagement is a matter for your family, for their lawyers, and for the family and lawyers of the man to whom you finally become betrothed. That man is not Mr. Stanhope."
Phoebe's dismay began to give way to anger. She was a dutiful daughter, and while she was normally on excellent terms with her father, teasing him and joking with him, knowing that he liked her playful ways, she rarely stood up against his authority, mostly because he so rarely exerted it. This was a stranger sitting in front of her, and she could not fathom what had turned him into a man that she had never seen before: stern, forbidding, and refusing to listen to her.
His face softened. "Believe me, Phoebe, I do understand something of your feelings. However, in this case you must allow me, as your father and as a man with a great deal more experience of the world, to know better than you do what is possible, and what is right. And, forgive me, but your attachment to Mr. Stanhope is of such recent standing that you will accept that any parent would be alarmed by talk of engagement. Am I not right in saying that you were unacquainted with Mr. Stanhope previous to your coming to London this time?"
"You know that to be the case, for Mr. Stanhope has been abroad. He is not a friend of our family, and I could not have met him before this year."
"Exactly. And by saying that he is not a friend of the family, you bring me to one of my principal objections to the match. You are, I suppose, aware of who his parents are?"
Phoebe was irritated by this. Yes, she did know that Mr. Stanhope's parents were Lord and Lady Stanhope. What was remarkable about that? Her father seemed to expect an answer, so she simply nodded.
He continued, "You should also be aware that Lord Stanhope, and indeed Lady Stanhope, are prominent in Whig circles. Now I am not to be suggesting that simply because a man is a member of the opposition, while I am a staunch Conservative, means that any antagonism existing within the Houses of Parliament should be carried into the outside world. Yet there is a grain of truth in the saying, 'Once a Whig, always a Whig.' And Whiggishness is not simply a matter of how a man votes in the House. It is also a matter of outlook, and going beyond politics, into the realm of morality; public morality and private morality. I do not personally think we will see another Whig government within my lifetime. That does not diminish the power and influence carried by the leading families. They have always worked behind the scenes, and by means of marriages and using family connections have exerted a force beyond what is reasonable."
What had this to do with her and Mr. Stanhope? Whatwas all this talk of Whigs? She knew that Lord Stanhope did not share her father's political views, but was that so important? Certainly, her father had always had a dislike of Whigs, as many Tories did. But this was the nineteenth century, they were not living in the Middle Ages. Was he going to try to pretend that the Hawkins family and the Stanhopes were like the Montagues and Capulets in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?
"No, it is not fustian. You are very young, Phoebe, and do not yet know what makes the world go round. You have had a protected upbringing, I am glad to say, and know no more than is suitable for a well-bred young lady. You will not have heard the scandals and intrigue that follow every member of these Whig circles. They make light of the marriage bond..."
His voice faltered and faded away. He had touched on an unmentionable subject, and his eyes dropped as Phoebe looked straight at him. "I do believe I know something about the loosening of marriage bonds," she said.
They looked at one another for a long minute, the unspoken words clear in both their minds, the knowledge of a time when the marriage bonds of Sir Giles and Lady Hawkins had been stretched to breaking point.
The long-repressed fury finally spilled out of Phoebe as those words rang in her ears, make light of the marriage bond. "You say that to me! You who caused Mama so much unhappiness when you set up that woman as your mistress, how dare you criticise other people?"
Sir Giles had risen to his feet, his face thunderous. "That ever I should hear a daughter of mine speak in that way. You sound like a woman brought up in the gutter."
"I sound like a girl who was brought up in a household where her father had a mistress, and her mother -- "
"I forbid you to say it," said Sir Giles.
"Feelings are not to be silenced. And you condemn an entire group of people, not quoting any individual circumstances; I find it disgraceful, and uncharitable, and in the circumstances inappropriate."
"It is for me to decide what is and what is not appropriate."
They fell silent. Phoebe's chin was up and she stared at her father with such defiance that he in his turn found it difficult to say anything more. Finally, he banged his fist on to the desk. "Very well, I am sorry it has come to this. You are saying that I have condemned all the Stanhopes, Lord and Lady Stanhope, and therefore by association their son, Mr. Stanhope, merely for being Whigs. This is not so. Your Mr. Stanhope has to my certain knowledge been conducting a lengthy affair with a woman called Mrs. Vereker. You look conscious. You know the lady, an uncommonly beautiful woman, an actress of humble origins who managed to ensnare the late Mr. Vereker, and so insinuate herself into society, where by birth, manners, and behaviour she had no place."
"I do not care if Mr. Stanhope has had a mistress. He is a military man, a man of more than thirty. I do not expect to be his first love."
"No, and if I were fool enough to let you marry him, you would most certainly not be his last love. The man is a rake, Mrs. Vereker is simply the latest in a long line of paramours. I dare say she was at the party last night where you were with Mr. Stanhope. When he came this morning, he swore he had fallen in love with you; I do not consider his words to be worth anything. Were I to give my consent to your marriage, you would, he supposes, go to him as a bride with a substantial fortune. I can only suppose that with high living he finds himself in financial difficulties and so looks for an heiress to wed."
Tears started into Phoebe's eyes, but they were tears of rage, not of weakness. Fighting them back, she looked down at the carpet, where the rich Turkish patterns wavered and blurred before her eyes. "You slander him, you have no justification for what you say."
"I speak nothing but the truth. Ask one of your married cousins about Mr. Stanhope's reputation, about Mrs. Vereker and the others before her, all at the same time, for all I know." He lowered his voice. "Phoebe, believe me, it hurts me immeasurably to distress you in this way, but it is too important a matter for anything less than honesty and clear-headedness." He took a heavy breath, and speaking with apparent difficulty said, "You referred to an episode in my own past life, an episode of which I am ashamed. I will not speak of it, now or ever. It is not a subject to be discussed with my daughter. However, it is because I wish to spare you the unhappiness I caused your mother that I refuse to let you marry a man like Mr. Stanhope. It is my final word. You can weep and wail, although that is not natural to you, or you may rant and rage at me; it will not alter my resolution one jot. You may write to your mother, to ask her to exert her influence with me, but I tell you that it will all be in vain. I know that your mama will be at one with me on this, and you know me well enough to be sure that once my mind is made up I am implacable."
Phoebe left her father's study in a state of greater anger than she had ever known. Her father had risen from his seat and come around the desk to pat her on the shoulder, and had wanted to embrace her, although she drew away from him. Then he said, unforgivably, in her eyes, "One day you will thank me for this. You will meet another man, a better man, who loves you and whom you will love and with whom you will make a very happy marriage. It is not as though you have not had other admirers; indeed, you know I have had more than one young man approach me to ask consent to pay his addresses. You have laughed and scorned them all and asked me to refuse all your suitors, however eligible some of them were. I can understand how a man of fashion and address such as Mr. Stanhope could have caught your fancy, but I assure you fancy is all it is. You could not truly love a man of his character."
The problem was that Phoebe did love Arthur Stanhope, that she had never loved any man before, and that she could see no way that she would ever care for another man as intensely as she did for Mr. Stanhope.
She had come dancing down the stairs, but it was with feet of lead, and a heart as heavy, that she ascended the stairs to return to her room. To her relief, Miniver was not in the room. She did not give way to tears, nor throw herself on the bed, nor take up the pretty vase from beside her bed and dash it to the floor. Instead, she went to the window and looked out over the square, her heart thumping inside her chest like a drum marching men into battle. The weather matched her mood. Lowering grey clouds hung over London, a steady drizzle made the pavements look dark and dirty. The trees in the garden in the centre of the square still had a wintry look to them; spring was late this year. She turned away from the window and went across to her little walnut writing desk. She sat down, took out a sheet of notepaper, dipped a quill into the ink, and began to write.
Dear Mr. Stanhope...
She got no further. A letter would not do, how could she say all she had to in a letter? No, she wouldn't write to him, she would go to see him.
Once this plan entered her head, she brushed away all thoughts of how improper such an action would be. If anyone saw her going into his house, then her reputation would lie in shreds.
So much the better, she told herself as she pulled the bell with vigour, calling out at the same time for Miniver, whom she felt sure would be lurking somewhere in the vicinity. She didn't want to take Miniver into her confidence, and so she simply told her to fetch her pelisse, as she was going out.
"Going out where, Miss Phoebe? Shall I ask for the carriage to be brought round? And I'll have to put on my own outdoor clothes, I had no idea of your going out so early, and I've all your jewellery lying soaking -- "
"I am going out alone. Go and fetch me a hackney cab, and don't you dare let my father get wind of what I am about."
"A hackney cab? Go alone in a hackney cab? And where to, may I ask?"
"You may not."
"It's more than my place is worth. Sir Giles would scalp me, and then turn me off without a reference. A fine thing that would be!"
"Oh, very well, you may come with me. Go and find a cab, and tell it to wait around the corner."
Miniver pursed her lips. "It isn't right."
Phoebe was not in the mood to put up with Miniver's moral disapproval. "It isn't for you to say what is or isn't right. I will be out in ten minutes, be there with the hackney cab."
Miniver shut the door behind her with a bang discreet enough not to be noticed by other servants, and loud enough to express her disapproval. Phoebe sank down on the chintz-covered sofa. She closed her eyes, as if by doing so she could shut out the images flitting through her mind. She could remember last night with such startling clarity that the scene might be taking place again there before her eyes. She had been at an informal party, given by the rich and amiable Mr. Portal. The season was not yet under way, but Phoebe had come early to town with her father, who had parliamentary business to attend to. Her mother was due to come up to London next week.
It was just such a party as Phoebe liked best. And her pleasure in the evening was capped by the arrival of Arthur Stanhope. She had been standing beside Mr. Portal, and laughing at one of his witty remarks, when she saw Arthur Stanhope standing at the door. Their eyes met, hers brimming with merriment, and his amused and alight with pleasure in seeing her.
They talked, as they had done ever since they first met, a conversation which, Phoebe felt, could go on for the rest of their lives and never grow boring. They went down to supper together, and then afterwards, her cousin Camilla persuaded her sister Alethea to play some dances for the company.
Oh, that exquisite moment when Mr. Stanhope took Phoebe aside and led her into a little alcove, quite deserted, and there took her into his arms, and in a voice quite unlike his usual calm tones, told her he loved her. His kiss, gentle, then growing more passionate, had wrapped Phoebe in a cloud of velvet delight, and when they drew apart to look into one another's eyes, she felt a joy such as she had never experienced.

Aston adds another enjoyable, light-hearted Regency read to her "Darcy" series--and this one includes the man himself, albeit breifly! It seems to start in an odd place, but the interview with the author at the end explains Aston's reasoning, and overall it is very enjoyable. I liked how in this particular book, Aston showcases more of the behind-the-scenes work done by the servants in that particular time period; it gives an interesting perspective and added depth to a pretty simple plot.
Having recently re-read Austen's Pride & Prejudice, as well as Georgette Heyer's regency novels, this book, by comparison, is extremely shallow. I find a lack of depth of character and writing style the saddest. I had high expectations, but they went unfulfilled. This author should read and study Heyer, the master of the genre. Then go back and do a re-write.
As always, Elizabeth Aston delivers. However, I waited for this book for a really long time and I was just a little bit disappointed about how the series as a whole ended. I was glad that Darcy's was slightly more than just a presence in this book, but I wanted a little extra. I choose not to think of this book as the last even though it is. It just makes it go down a little easier. Other than that, it is still a worthy read.
Twenty-year old Phoebe Hawkins is handsome, well-born, and endowed with a fortune of fifty thousand pounds to the lucky man to win her affections. Unfortunately, her choice Mr. Anthony Stanhope has a bit of a bad rep prompting her father to reject his offer of marriage. Undaunted, Phoebe is certain that Stanhope is no rake until she witnesses his assignation with a notorious woman. Heartbroken and dejected, her clever ma'ma Lady Georgiana averts London gossip by devising a plan to send her to the country to her uncle Darcy's estate in Derbyshire until it blows over. Joining her is her amiable cousin Louisa Bingley whose failure to engage after three London seasons is a bit of flop. Their temperaments could not be more opposite. Quick to judge, Phoebe's free spirit challenges social stricture, while easygoing Louisa is as accepting of fate as her mother Jane Bingley seeing little fault in anything. Both feel the pressure to fulfill their family obligations with brilliant marriages yet neither have a clue as to why they have not succeeded. Together they hope for a respite at Pemberley free from the pressures of thinking about men, while focusing instead on planning a summer ball while the Darcy's are abroad. The young ladies arrive at Pemberley to see great improvements underway with the construction of a grand new glasshouse supervised by Mr. Darcy's estate manager Hugh Drummond, all part of Mr. Darcy's dream of modernizing Pemberley, (thus the book title). When Mr. Stanhope arrives in the neighborhood on the pretext of visiting his married sister, Phoebe is resigned not to see him averting his persistent attempts until she must face the music. Add to this mix the return of devilish George Warren and you have your sinister element. When Mr. Darcy finally arrives at Pemberley to attend the ball, the story swiftly concludes as all the romantic misunderstanding and machinations have been resolved, but not to everyone's satisfaction. Underneath this diverting historical romance, Aston has supplied us with perceptive commentary on early 19th-century life in upper class England where women's worlds were governed by men and social convention. Throughout the novel there is a thin thread of cynicism about marriage illustrated by Mr. Stanhope's unhappily married sister Kitty, "one day you'll realize you need an heir, and will propose to the nearest available girl, who will proceed to make your life misery.", and the fear of infidelity by Phoebe after witnessing the affects on her parent's relationship after their own affairs. These honest themes can be a bit leveling, but move this novel away from being escapist fluff. To lighten it up, Aston has supplied the requisite ensemble of secondary characters to add interest, but little humor: a peevish Frog governess, fussy and gossipy maids, an officious great aunt, a toady Minister, and a bit of espionage to keep the plot churning and our attention engaged. Overall, I found the tone of Mr. Darcy's Dream a bit dark and overshadowed with angst. When reading a sequel to the light, bright and sparkling Pride and Prejudice it is difficult not to compare the two, but in all fairness to Ms. Aston this novel is so far removed in time and characters to the original that it is an entirely new entity. On its own merit I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it highly. As a continuation of a 'Mr. Darcy does something novel', well, that it debatable. Laurel Ann, Austenprose
I Loved This Book! This is the latest in the series of sequals to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice written by Elizabeth Aston. I highly recomend the entire seies in the order that they were written. Although I have read other sequals, this series is my favorite! If you enjoy historical mysteries as well, you will enjoy the series by Carrie Bebris which starts up right after the classic pride and prejudice leaves off.

Yishai gave three reasons to avoid destroying the town. First of all, he said, Israel supported the creation of Migron due to its strategic location and the fact that the land had no previous owners. Secondly, the difference in treatment of those who violate building law in different parts of the country leads to a social and legal imbalance.
And finally, he said, "We need unity among the people of Israel... Expelling families with children from their homes will have a severe effect on moral... and will increase division and push off unity."

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 190726 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 126 AM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 126 AM CST Sun Feb 19 2017 Updated the forecast to issue a Dense Fog Advisory for the entire area until 9 AM. Skies are clearing over west Kentucky and southwest Indiana, and visibilities are already heading downward, so decided to get ahead of it a bit. Went til 9 AM to match my neighbors, but it may take longer for the fog to lift throughout the area. An extension is not out of the question. Also updated all TAFs to have the 1/4SM visibility prevail through at least 15z. UPDATE Issued at 1054 PM CST Sat Feb 18 2017 Updated Aviation Discussion for 06Z TAFs. UPDATE Issued at 1007 PM CST Sat Feb 18 2017 Updated the forecast to include the mention of patches and areas of fog overnight. Visibilities have already dropped to 1/2 mile or less at a couple of observation sites as of late evening, especially at locations that experienced at least some partial clearing. Complicating matters is the band of low stratus that lingers from south central and southwest Illinois into the Ozarks of southeast Missouri. This will likely play havoc with the forecast overnight. However, we think there is a fairly decent chance that enough clearing will take place between this stratus deck and the stratus slowly departing southwest Indiana and western Kentucky for areas of fog--some possibly dense--to develop overnight. Given the uncertainty, will hold off on any advisory until more observation sites begin to show a marked decline in visibility. Other than some minor tweaks in temperature, remainder of forecast is unchanged at this time. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 104 PM CST Sat Feb 18 2017 Upper Low now drifting across PAH FA is pinwheeling scattered showers about the area, as seen on latest radar pics/loop. This will continue into the evening hours, then wind down/diminish, as the Low drifts off to the east. Clearing is possible later tonight/tmrw, but gridded time/height cross sections show boundary layer moisture remains high. Therefore would anticipate low clouds and/or fog develop with any late night clear-out, and this is reflected in the MOS guidance as well. Tmrw should eventually see a scour out of clouds though, with sunshine and warmth returning as High pressure works in overhead at the surface and aloft. Look for a rebound into the lower 70s both Sun-Mon. Clouds increase again late Mon-Mon night as the ridge moves east and height falls work in from the west. That`ll also bring an introductory chance of showers, which will include a small chance of thunder for the SEMO Ozarks Monday evening, as suggested by elevated instability and the latest swo. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 201 PM CST Sat Feb 18 2017 At this time, forecast confidence is 30-50% on coverage, timing and and intensity of precipitation events in the extended forecast period. Model runs up to last Wednesday were hinting at a bifurcation of the highly meridional/narrow amplitude trough in the Central U.S. on Monday. This trend has continued with the last two medium range numerical model runs as well. The lower forecast confidence is due to both the ensembles, as well as the deterministic guidance developing and deepening a low over Texas Monday Night/Tuesday, then pushing this closed low through the Gulf of Mexico. In these type of scenarios, a significant amount of moisture advection/transport is intercepted in the Gulf, leaving the WFO PAH forecast area high and dry. For now, have used a blend of the deterministic 12z GFS and 00z/12z ECMWF for the placement and coverage of precipitation on Tuesday and Tuesday Evening, keeping any measurable QPF (precipitation amounts) focused along and ahead of the frontal boundary. The approach of a Northwest U.S. trough and the persistent Gulf of Mexico Low will impress ridging over the WFO PAH forecast area on Wednesday and Wednesday night, this signal is consistent among most of the medium range guidance. By Thursday, the increasingly baroclinic middle/upper level low in the intermountain states in the Western U.S. generates some intense lee side surface cyclogenesis over Kansas, creating an significant warm air advection zone stretching almost to the east coast. Uncertainty late Wednesday night into Thursday morning exists as to the degree/rapidity of moisture return from the Gulf of Mexico and the exact location and timing of a developing warm frontal zone and the corridor of strongest isentropic lift. Given that uncertainty, went with a GFS/ECMWF blend into Thursday night, focusing more on the favored zone of isentropic lift for precipitation chances. On next Friday, both the ECMWF and GFS are progressive with the bulk of the energy in the broad trough moving toward IA/WI. Given the sharp baroclinic zone and warm air advection, this may be the best chance for thunderstorm activity next week. Cannot rule out some significant or severe thunderstorms for next Friday, but the genesis point still out in the North Central Pacific, it is hard to get too excited about the coverage or intensity of severe weather at this time. However, plan to continue emphasis on best chance of thunderstorms on Friday, along with gusty winds. Adjusted maximum/minimum temperature upward 1-2 degrees above && .AVIATION... Issued at 1054 PM CST Sat Feb 18 2017 A small sliver of clearing in southeast Illinois along and west of the Wabash River is slowly eroding and giving way to low clouds and fog. Precipitation has moved off to the east of the area. KCGI has IFR/LIFR conditions and should remain that way through dawn. KPAH has MVFR vsbys and VFR cigs. Conditions should deteriorate between 06z and 08z to IFR with occasional LIFR. KEVV and KOWB are a little tricker with that area of clearing moving to the east. Have left VFR/MVFR conditions for a couple of hours before lowering to IFR after 09z/10z. Low cigs and vsbys will persist through dawn. Conditions should improve through the morning hours across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. Models want to hang on to low level moisture longer in west Kentucky and southwest Indiana and have lingered a scattered low deck into early afternoon with clearing by mid afternoon. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Cobbler comes from "cobble up" which means to mix in a hurry. And what could be quicker than a cobbler made with baking mix?
You can substitute frozen peach slices, thawed, for the fresh peaches.
Peaches are in season July through September. Let your peaches ripen at room temperature, then refrigerate, especially on hot summer days.
This cobbler dessert also tastes delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

OECD released the final country by country reporting template under the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan. This paper has been updated to reflect these developments.
Following on from the paper dated July 2014, there have been a number of updates to the requirements previously set out. Most notably the OECD released the final country by country reporting (CbyC) template under the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan.
There are now a number of frameworks both legislative and voluntary, that have been implemented or are being considered for implementation. Initially these focused on the extractives sector, but more recent proposals are expected to impact on all industries and sectors.
The initiatives discussed in this paper cover:
Country by country reporting was initially focused on a few select sectors, but given the requirements from the OECD, this is now a pressing issue for all multinationals. Companies will need to consider the level of resources and costs involved in gathering the data, the ease of gathering the data and potential system changes and how technology can assist. The requirements for a form of assurance over the process will need to be considered.
Due to the risk of the information being misinterpreted, providing an accompanying narrative and articulating the tax position, will assist in making the information as useful as possible to the reader. The tax transparency debate is constantly evolving and companies should be actively involved in shaping this debate, as well as keeping abreast of proposals and how this may impact them.

Lent begins today! Sign up for one of our Easter devotions.
This exhortation addresses a reverse issue from that in 2 John, which forbids hospitality to the false teachers (see notes on 2 John); in 3 John the author urges that hospitality be extended to traveling teachers of the truth. Evidently, there had been some trouble in the church caused by a member named Diotrephes (see v. 9) who had been instrumental in keeping such traveling preachers from exercising their ministry to the congregation. John wanted Gaius to set an example of hospitality to the rest of the people.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Planted Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-planted-aquarium/)
- - Purchasing a new light... Help please! (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-planted-aquarium/purchasing-new-light-help-please-13787/)
Purchasing a new light... Help please!
Currently, I have a 38 gallon tank with a 17 watt light on it. I am going to purchase a new light and plants maybe tommorow. How many watts/whatever would I need to grow a plant that needs a lot of light? Just something so that I would be limitted to what plants I can buy/grow.
As you didn't say shat type of bulp your current fixture uses, I will assume it is a fluoresent bulb. Look for a bulf that is in the range of 6700K-8500K. It alaso should be a full spectrum bulb. Some lamps such as FloraLux, and others, will do the job. Wattage has nothingto do with plant growth, so don't listen to any nonsense associated with it.
If you are having to buy a new fixture, look for a compact fluorescent fixture or on the uses T5 bulbs.
Put your tank dimensions in here to figure out how many watts of lighting you in the correct spectrum and good lumens. This will give you different light levels for your tank. If you go above moderate then you run into possibly needing at least DIY CO2 to prevent major amounts of algae.
Remember, junk lighting will not matter if you put 50 or 400 watts over the tank. It won't grow plants. High CRI (85+) Kelvin rating of least 5500 but lower than 10K. And the higher the lumens the better. This is why T10 is better than T12, T8 better than T10 and T5 better than T8. Each time you step down in number you get more lumens and intensity for the size. Might take 3 bulbs for T5 instead of 2 for T12 but the output is much higher, the size fo the bulb is smaller and they are more efficient.
Ooh, very cool link! I now believe I have high lighting, not moderate lighting on my tank :D
Recommended Wattage Lighting Level
Compact Fluorescent
56W VeryHigh
43W High
28W Moderate
14W Low
T8 Fluorescent
54W VeryHigh
41W High
27W Moderate
14W Low
Hagen T10 Fluorescent
72W VeryHigh
54W High
36W Moderate
18W Low
T12 Fluorescent
76W VeryHigh
57W High
38W Moderate
19W Low
Wattage is only to determine the amount of power used.
What you are looking for is the Kelvin rating. (eg 6700K)
My 10 gallon tank has a 15W bulb hanging over it, meaning its super efficient, and the Kelvin rating is at 18000K's! I don't even understand myself how its that high but it is.(and BTW, can someone with more experience tell me if 18000K is too bright for my 10 gallon?)
tyler12345, to answer your question, you need to get right around 130-150 watts of proper lighting to grow anyhting you want without worrying about light. Go with the chart from gotdns. Find high light for each type and decide what lighting type you want to use. Get the lighing that you need that gives you the Wattage and Lumens you need. The Lumens calculations are broken down on the website. This will give you all you need to know to grow anything. You will want to get CO2 running as soon as possible. DIY is ok for the tnak but anyhting over 25-30 gallons really needs pressurized. If you don't want to mess with CO2 then go with moderate lighting or lower and buy plants accordingly.
The Kelvin rating is nothing more than the color rating of the bulb. True direct sunlight is 5500K or there abouts. For the purpose of aquarium plants, 6500K is the most used and most reliable Kelvin rating. It is extremely important to have the right but useless by itself. As for 18,000K lighting, to do with the brightness of the bulb. Only the actual color of the light.
It doesn't matter if you have the perfect Kelivin rating, the best CRI (Color Rendering Index) and the highest lumens for a single bulb. If you do not have enough wattage to provide enough lumens then all of it means nothing.
Until I see a better chart or better explanation I will use THIS web site to determine what I need. I was produced by 4 top of the line fish keepers and is endorsed but at least 2 plant experts.
When it comes down to it, all the truely matter is Lumens. If you have enough lumens from the wattage in the right spectrum and a high CRI then you will grow the plants you want to. If you don't you won't!

Human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is linked to the genesis of adult T cell leukemia (ATL), an aggressive CD4+ T cell malignancy. Tax is an oncoprotein encoded by the HTLV-I genome that regulates viral and cellular gene expression. Tax promotes cell transformation, in part, by activating the NF-kB/Rel transcription factor family. Tax requires NF-kB for the immortalization of primary T cells and HTLV-I transformed cells are dependent on NF-kB for their survival, thereby providing a strong rationale for studying the mechanisms used by Tax to activate NF-kB. Tax activates NF-kB by promoting persistent IkB kinase (IKK) activation although the mechanisms are poorly understood. Our supporting studies indicate that polyubiquitination is a key post- translational regulator of Tax activation of NF-kB. Tax activation of NF-kB correlates with ubiquitin-dependent relocalization of IKK to the Golgi apparatus. Tax is polyubiquitinated via Lys 63-linked ubiquitin chains and requires the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Ubc13 for Tax ubiquitination and NF-kB activation. Ubiquitination of Tax does not promote its degradation, but rather regulates its interaction with the IKK regulatory subunit IKKg. In addition, we have determined that the Tax interacting cellular protein TAX1BP1 is a key negative regulator of cytokine-mediated NF-kB signaling by functioning as an essential subunit for the ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20. We hypothesize that Tax targets TAX1BP1 as part of a mechanism to promote persistent NF-kB activation. In this proposal, we will further investigate how ubiquitination regulates the targeting of Tax and IKK into the Golgi. We will also further delineate the requirements and the identification of host factors regulating Tax ubiquitination. Finally, we will determine the mechanisms used by Tax to inactivate TAX1BP1 and the A20 ubiquitin-editing complex. Our objectives for this proposal will be satisfied by completion of the following specific aims: (1) Determine the mechanisms of Tax-mediated relocalization of IKK;(2) investigate the molecular determinants of Tax ubiquitination and NF-kB activation and (3) determine the role of Tax binding to TAX1BP1 in NF-kB activation. These studies will shed light on how a retroviral oncoprotein usurps host ubiquitination/deubiquitination machinery to persistently activate transcription factors that promote cell transformation.
The HTLV-I Tax oncoprotein is a potent activator of the NF-kB/Rel transcription factor family. Tax requires NF-kB for the immortalization of T cells, and NF-kB is also required for the survival of HTLV-1 transformed cell lines. The focus of the proposal is to determine the molecular mechanisms used by Tax to activate NF-kB, specifically we will further establish the determinants of Tax ubiquitination and examine the role of Tax interaction with the cellular protein TAX1BP1.

Wondering if anyone has compared the two side by side. I've been using the V200 for almost a year now with the V800 for a dac and the LCD-3 headphones. I am curious if the Apex Peak/Volcano would be a significant upgrade. Thoughts? Thanks
