Comments about Le Creuset Rectangular Dish:
As a single, I enjoy cooking for myself -and don't like lots of leftovers. This small rectangular baking dish is perfect for many casserole-type dishes, roasting veggies, making lasagna (2 servings) and eggplant parmigiana. I love it!

Comments about Le Creuset Rectangular Dish:
I have used this to roast vegetables and they came out beautifully. Like all Le Creuset, it cleans easily and looks stunning on the table. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the length is listed as 13" and that must include the handles. I was shocked by the size when I took it out of the box but didn't want to return it because of shipping cost. I thought I would be using this for lasagna, but it's way too small. Le Creuset needs to give better product descriptions on the website.

Comments about Le Creuset Rectangular Dish:
Beware the specifications given are missleading. Only the outside dimensions are given leaving it up to guesswork as to the interior dimensions. I was not happy with the finish, which allows a tan undercolor to show thru. Not a true white. I was not al all happy with the product! The staff must have faced this question before because they refused to pay return shipping. Buyer beware!

Lauren's just got back from Marbella with the TOWIE cast, where she spent every day in a bikini / slashed to the crotch one-piece walking about in front of a gaggle of paparazzi wolves, all baying to get a bad shot of her.
But she smiled her way through it looking totally confident and kind of smug, in the best possible way.
She spoke recently about the reasons why she's feeling good enough to strut around with her bum out and put it down to seeing pictures of herself in Miami looking "dumpy" which spurred her on to start the Cambridge Diet Weight Plan.
She lost a stone doing that and even when she was throwing drinks down her neck in Marbs with the girls, she still managed to drag herself to Spanish boot-camp and lost 6lbs. That has to be a first for anyone's holiday, surely.
She also told Closer mag that she was planning on keeping up her good work when she went home to Essex.
"I'm going to go home and get back on the Cambridge Plan and go to boot camp again. I'll be strict again when I'm home because I really want to maintain my weight.
"I've even missed exercising," she said, as the rest of us scratched our heads in confusion.
Lauren wasn't kidding either. Here she is looking just as happy and confident back in Blightie (despite the totally horrendous weather), having just left the gym.
Seems she's tackling another problem that troubles the female frame too – water retention – and is taking tablets to help maintain a normal fluid balance. Shame we can't give these to the weather gods really.
"I feel sexy, curvy and proud of my figure" - read more about Lauren's healthy state of mind .
The TOWIE Marbs special is on tonight too - you can get to see her and all the other girls in all their bikini-ed glory moving about too!

Why North Carolina's Voter ID Bill Might be the Nation's Worst
UPDATE, Tuesday, August 13: On August 12, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory signed the controversial voting ID bill into law. The measure—which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described as "a greatest hits of voter suppression"--was immediately challenged by the ACLU in US district court.
For decades, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 required cities, counties and states with histories of discriminatory voting laws to seek federal permission—preclearance, in legal parlance—before changing their election rules. When the Supreme Court invalidated part of the VRA last month, that all changed. The high court's decision made it easier for jurisdictions with troubled pasts to enact restrictive voting laws. Now North Carolina is set to do just that.
North Carolina's GOP-led legislature has taken many controversial steps in recent weeks—sneaking anti-abortion measures into a motorcycle safety law and cutting unemployment benefits for 70,000 North Carolinians, to name two. But new revisions (pdf) to a photo ID voting bill, which passed the House in April and is up for a Senate vote today, might take the cake. The revised bill prohibits same-day registration, ends pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds, eliminates one week of early voting, prevents counties from extending voting hours due to long lines (often caused by cuts in early voting) or other extraordinary circumstances, scratches college ID cards and other forms of identification from the very short list of acceptable state-issued photo IDs, and outlaws certain types of voter registration drives.
It's quite possibly the most restrictive voter ID bill in recent years, says Denise Leiberman, senior attorney for Advancement Project, a nonprofit civil rights organization.
"The list of acceptable identification has been whittled away to such a small list, and that's really what makes it so repressive," she says. "The list is so small that many, many people in North Carolina aren't going to have an acceptable ID."
The bill's new provisions make it so that, with very few exceptions, a voter needs a valid in-state DMV-issued driver's license or non-driver's ID card, a US Military ID card, a veteran's ID card or a US passport. According to an April 2013 analysis (pdf) of state Board of Elections data by Democracy North Carolina, 34 percent of the state's registered black voters, the overwhelming majority of whom vote Democrat, do not have state-issued photo ID. The same study found that 55 percent of North Carolina Democrats don't have state-issued photo ID. Only 21 percent of Republicans have the same problem.
But ask the bill's Republican proponents, and they'll say that this isn't a partisan ploy to suppress voter turnout. It's all about fraud.
"People need to have confidence in the fact that everyone only votes once, and that their vote matters, and establish integrity in the electoral process," Sen. Bob Rucho (R-Mecklenburg) told the Associated Press. "I would hope we can pass this bill and re-establish a level of integrity and confidence in the electoral system.
The problem with the GOP's argument is that this voter fraud crisis is largely a figment of the right's imagination—or a convenient exaggeration. A Democratic analysis of the last six state elections found just two instances of in-person voter fraud.
Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act used to provide a check on certain jurisdictions—including 40 in North Carolina—that wanted to change election rules. If they wanted to get voting changes approved by the feds, state legislators presiding over Section 5 districts had to structure new laws so they wouldn't hinder the voting rights of any specific group. If the state legislators passed discriminatory laws, the Justice Department would strike them down and the legislators would have to go back to the drawing board.
With the VRA gutted, it's open season, Leiberman says: "Unfortunately, I think that states around the country are looking at North Carolina right now—particularly those former Section 5 states—to see just how brazen they can be."

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Can you clean your tank to much?
Can you clean your tank to much? I know it seems like a stupid question but cant you clean your tank to much? Can doing a 20% or a 50% water change two or three times a week be bad for the fish and plants? I don't do it but I was just wondering |
I would say yes, because it can take too much of the bacteria out of the water. If that happens it cause the cycle to start, and if done much can cause the fish to stress out a lot. I'm not an expert, but I would say it is bad. |
The water though contains like zero bacteria. Like 0.0000001% of it. |
Depends on the fish. I'm no expert, but I'd say it's unnecessary for most tropical fish (tetras, rasboras, etc), they do just fine with a weekly 30%/50% water change. It's a whole different ballgame for Discus and Goldfish though. From what I've read about Discus appreciate massive water changes several times a week. And Goldfish are incredibly messy fish with high bioloads that have to be kept in check with large water changes. |
Also, for some planted tanks, such as Dutch, they require massive water changes often to replenish the nutrients in the water that come from the tap. |
The beneficial bacteria are not water borne as they attach themselves to hardscape - filter elements, substrate and decor. Water changes do not really reduce beneficial bacteria. Frequent water changes (assuming proper temperature) are not really necessary, but are not harmful as fresh water really can't be too fresh. The only exception might be to begin doing large volume water changes in a neglected tank such that there was a dramatic change in water chemistry that might shock the fish. Our objective in weekly water changes is to do a volume sufficient enough to dilute the pollution and keep the water fresh. With advanced filtration, proper stock levels, feeding, tank maintenance and sufficient plant life, volumes can be reduced, but WWC's are still required. As to the question of too clean, I feel it may be possible to clean a filter too much. The filter houses decomposition bacteria that break down detritus as well as BB to process ammonia and nitrites. All bacteria colonies function best when undisturbed. Although we don't want the filter to be neglected, it is beneficial to let it run without disturbance until it's necessary to be cleaned. The time interval varies widely from system to system. Likewise this is true of the substrate, at least in a planted tank. Again a comprehensive eco-system lives there that functions best when undisturbed. However, it may be necessary under some circumstances, especially the unplanted tank, to aggressively gravel siphon to clean out decaying matter. :-) |
OK got it, water changes won't hurt bacteria levels. |
I agree with AbbeyDad's comments. As Dr. Neale Monks wrote in PFK, you really can never change too much water; if you could change 100% of the water every day, the fish would love it. [Assumes basically same parameters, etc.] But this is a lot of work. The crucial point though is regularity and constancy. The water quality changes a lot in a fish tank, from day to day. So the water change should be regular--once a week for most of us works well--and change enough water to achieve maximum benefit. This will actually work to keep the water more stable week to week. Ad hoc changes can cause considerable fluctuation, as AD pointed out. You might find this article helpful: http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/f...hanges-117205/ Sometimes the source water can make this difficult, but assuming your tap water is not adding excessive toxins you are OK. Byron. |

The Electric Guitar Show
The Brothers Balliett Streams Thursdays at 3 pm and Sundays at 8 pm on Q2 Music
Thursday, May 09, 2013
The electric guitar: symbol of rebellion, youth and danger or legitimate color to be used in serious composition? Perhaps it's both. This week's episode of The Brothers Balliett takes a critical look at the myriad ways this hundred-year-old instrument is used in today's new-music landscape.
Roger Kleier is a composer/guitarist known for his loops and massed electric guitar textures. We offer his Anyway..., a beautifully atmospheric work for an electric guitar ensemble. Steve Mackey is also known for his association with the electric guitar – his Tuck and Roll is cast in a more traditional concerto form, but notice how the tradition seems reinvented when the soloist is a soaring electric guitar!
We wrap up with the already classic Electric Counterpoint of Steve Reich performed with great precision by Pat Metheny—another work for electric guitar ensemble, but with a totally different flavor.
This week's Brothers Balliett radio world premiere is a fanfare from New York-based composer Elliot Cole.

In an essay published in the January 31 issues of both Science and Nature, a federal biosecurity board explained its rationale for requesting the redaction of the methodological sections of two papers late last year. After weighing pros and cons of full disclosure, the board members "found the potential risk of public harm to be of unusually high magnitude."
Just before Christmas, the board unanimously recommended that portions of each paper be redacted, setting off a passionate debate among scientists. It suggested that general conclusions highlighting the novel outcomes be made public, but that methodological details that would allow others to replicate the experiments not be published.
The NSABB action marks the first time any report on biological research has been censored in the name of national security. "Once you have precedent, you will do it again and again," Columbia University microbiology professor Vincent R. Racaniello said. "My view is that all research should be published; otherwise science will not go forward."
In the recent essays explaining their recommendations, the board pointed out that such a precedent was already set by the 1975 voluntary agreement to delay further research on recombinant DNA until safety guidelines were established. In addition, it suggested that such a "self-imposed moratorium on the broad communication of the results of experiments that show greatly enhanced virulence or transmissibility of potentially dangerous microbes" might be a wise move now.
In response, both teams that produced the papers under consideration—that of Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin and of Ronald Fouhier of Erasmus Medical Center—have suspended their research for 60 days. But Kawaoka argued that a longer halt would be "irresponsible" because "H5N1 viruses circulating in nature already pose a threat."
In a post-9/11 world, censorship might be unavoidable. "I don't think we can get away from some kind of regulation," said Racaniello.
Nonetheless, Racaniello believes that the two avian flu papers are not good test cases to set standards for redaction in cases of dual-use research. "The data is so very vague that they should pick something else," he said. Specifically, he notes that there is no evidence that infection patterns in humans would parallel those in ferrets or data on the lethality of the virus in humans.
NSABB chairman Paul S. Keim of Northern Arizona University acknowledges that ferrets are not the perfect proxies for humans, but finds that argument unpersuasive. "To gamble that this model is wrong on this issue is very dangerous," he maintained in his own discussion of the decision. "Why would we risk a global pandemic saying that our best model is wrong?"

ABC memo reveals Air America advertiser blacklist
An internal ABC Radio Networks memo [1] obtained by Media Matters for America, originally from a listener to The Peter B. Collins Show, indicates that nearly 100 ABC advertisers insist that their commercials be blacked out on Air America Radio affiliates. According to the memo, the advertisers insist that "NONE of their commercials air during AIR AMERICA programming." Among the advertisers listed are Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, Federal Express, General Electric, McDonald's, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and the U.S. Navy.

With her husband lobbying hard for the passage of health insurance legislation this year, Michelle Obama joined the debate in a speech Friday, appealing directly to women.
"Health care is very much a women's issue, and if we want to achieve true equality for women … then we have to reform the system," she said in her speech.
"Eight in 10 women, mothers, report that they're the ones responsible for choosing their children's doctor, for getting them to their checkups, for managing that follow-up care. Women are the ones to do it. Mothers are the ones that do it. And many women find themselves doing the same thing for their spouses," Obama told the majority-female audience, which boasted representatives from several women's organizations, including the YWCA and the Women's Chamber of Commerce.

Obama pointed out that many women–"more than 10% of women in this country"–are, like herself, part of the so-called "sandwich generation" which finds itself caring for children and aging parents at the same time.
The issue goes far beyond a problem of work-life balance–it's an issue of discrimination, she said.
"Women are affected because … in many states, insurance companies can still discriminate because of gender … women in this country have been denied coverage because of preexisting conditions like having a C-section or having had a baby. In some states, it is still legal to deny a woman coverage because she's been the victim of domestic violence."
Obama went on to cite a study showing that 25-year-old women are charged up to 45% more for health insurance than 25-year-old men for the exact same coverage. And as age goes up to 40 years, that disparity increases to 48%.
With women still earning 78 cents for every dollar a man earns, it's an economic issue, too, as women skimp on important but expensive medical care for themselves.
"This current situation is unacceptable. No one in this country should be treated that way. It's not fair. It's not right. And these are hard-working people we're talking about, right? People who care about their kids, care about their lives. And these circumstances could happen to any of us," she said.
In conclusion, "It's clear that health insurance reform and what it means for our families is very much a women's issue. It is very much a women's issue."
Readers, do you agree with Michelle Obama's take on health insurance reform? Is it, in fact, very much a women's issue? Would women benefit from the plan currently on the table? Share your opinions in the comments section below.

Kevin Durant didn't just talk about MVP awards and LeBron James and free agency and NBA titles and his new shoes on Wednesday.
He also talked about a grab bag of other things. For example.
The World Cup
"I just told someone, I never watched soccer — or football — until the World Cup, and I fell in love with it," Durant said. "I can't wait to watch the next game, the next match. I can't wait to watch whenever they come on again….It's so exciting, just them racing up the field and just trying to attempt a shot. That's exciting to me. I'm pulling for the USA to win their next match, so we'll see….
"Colombia put on an amazing show the other night," Durant said. "Brazil, I think they're the favorites from what I've heard; they put on an amazing show. Portugal, they broke my heart the other day when they scored that last-second goal. Messi is one of my favorite athletes to watch. Him and Argentina do a great job. So many great players that I don't even know about, but I'm gonna start to study on and read up on. So I've become a big fan."
Luis Suarez and on-field biting
"That was a little weird, but down on that field you never know what goes on," Durant said. "If he had bit me, we'd have both been in some big trouble. We'd have got kicked out for fighting. But like I said, you never know in sports. Anybody wants to get an advantage, so I'm sure you'll see something crazy like that in our league."
His new tattoo
"I love saber-tooth tigers," Durant said. "And even though they're extinct — they've been extinct for a while — they're such dominant creatures. They devour. And that's what I want to do on the basketball court."
Whether he's thought about the Redskins name
"I haven't. I haven't," Durant said. "I can't speak on that. I'm just a fan of the game, a fan of the team, a fan of the players. I really respect Mr. Snyder, so I can't really comment on that. I just watch the games."

This book demonstrates that if we treat sixteenth- and seventeenth-century erotic literature as part of English political history, both fields of study will look rather different. This important new book traces some surprising implications of two early modern commonplaces: first, that love is the basis of political consent and obedience, and second, that suffering is an intrinsic part of love. Rather than dismiss such commonplaces as mere convention, the book uncovers the political import of early modern literature's fascination with erotic violence.

My son is a hair puller. He loves the way hair feels in his hands. He sometimes really yanks…but, sometimes he is so sweet and gentle about it. Just recently he has begun pulling at his own hair while nursing. He doesn't have much hair so he keeps pulling the tuft of hair at the back of his head. Im stuck between finding it adorable and worrying that he'll pull out his hair!
Anyone else have a hair puller?

Looking for inspiration
Melissa Stagnaro
About a week after I began my employ at The Evening Sun, I posted my first blog. It was a piece called The Learning Curve, about as you can probably guess, it was about making the adjustment from free-spirited freelance writer, to dealing with an early morning deadline five days a week.
Re-reading it this morning, I had to laugh. Because, honestly, little has changed in the last two and a half years. I'm still not a fan of getting up early. (It's a sad commentary, I think, when sleeping past 5 a.m. constitutes "sleeping in.") I have yet to break the habit of arriving at work earlier than most in an effort to get a jump start on the day. And deadline? Yeah, still feels like pulling teeth.
Since that first blog, I've posted a whopping 190 more. (This one marks number 192.) I've written on any number of topics. Mostly my own quirks, and those of my family and friends. Really, it's my favorite part of my job – getting to write about basically whatever I want and then posting it out there for all to read.
But lately, I've been a little off. My once-prolific blogging as petered out. It seems like a chore to even eke out one a week.
It isn't for lack of trying, either. Or lack of material.
Unwittingly, my family and friends provide a never ending well on which I unabashedly draw. And lord knows, I have plenty of my own exploits to, well, exploit.
So what's my problem? I don't think it's a case of the mid-winter blues. Sure, I'm longing for the golf season to start. (I admit, my clubs are still in the trunk of my car.) But I love, love, love tromping around in the snow – just not on my morning commute.
So, again, what the heck is my problem? Your guess is as good as mine. Because I'm not sure if it's motivation or inspiration that I'm lacking. A bit of both, perhaps.
Maybe what I need is a little adventure to get me out of this rut I'm in. Any suggestions?
Or, maybe all I really need is more sleep.

Deadspin.com is doing a whole series of columns by Tim Donaghy breaking down the officiating in each game of the Finals. It's quite interesting to read his comments about little tendencies of referees, like late in a game that's been decided, they will call fouls against teams in order to better equalize the number of fouls called on each team.
Tim Donaghy breaking down officiating is like Charles Barclay telling you how to get washboard abs....
Oh Bill. Everyone knows, if you want to know how crooks work, hire an ex-con. Read Donaghy's reports. Their great, not sensational. They are a sober look at how human the refs are, and how the best intentions (sometimes best intentions) can lead to unintended consequences. There is no doubt this guy was a skilled referee.
The Lakers shot a putrid 67% from the line led by Gasol and Kobe and still made 8 more FT's than the C's attempted. I don't see how the C's built their lead without being aggressive?
Yes you are not going to win too many games being out-boarded like that. LA finally started making some shots. If Bos had Perkins then they probably would have won. Or if Garnett could have mustered more than 3 boards.
I read the Game 7 report. Anyone on this forum could have written the same crap. The thug is just trying to make a buck.
Because he has personal knowledge of the innerworkings of the NBA and the current state of officiating and doesn't have any incentive anymore to cover up any potential shady behaviour?
Of course that's the other side of it. People will say anything for money. I take what he has to say with a big grain of salt. But I am definitely listening to what he has to say. He's usually not saying things that are completely outlandish, anyway. Much of what he says confirms what many "casual internet fans" have suspected for some time about referee and league bias.
You gotta be kidding me about the indignation for a guy who gave tips to bookies because he got too deep into gambling debt. Kobe may have raped a woman for crissakes.
Sure, why not? I think you're confusing a moral judgment about someone's character with their capacity to have anything pertinent to say. I don't know if you don't like Donaghy, and by not reading him you feel you can help punish him for his sins, or if you think he has no credibility. I'd like to think we don't accept everything he says just because he says it, and on the flipside, don't write off everything he says, just because he is the one saying it. AA meetings are usually run by former alcoholics, some of whom may have been violent or even criminal, who now give advice to people seeking help. They are the experts. With that same perspective, who would know better about the corruption and biases of NBA referees than Tim Donaghy?
Excellent point, Roscoe. I read Donaghy's book and have heard and read his views regarding the playoffs. He was a referee for a long time, he has to know something. I do think he has an ax to grind, but I do not dismiss what he is saying. When something bad is going on in my school, I seek out the kids that usually are in trouble. They usually have all the information I need.
True, but without some independent verification, it's tough to know which 75% is BS and which 25% is true. (My wholly unverified guess at how much he's just making up.) Which suggests to me pretty much to ignore everything. He's a petty little man, trying to milk a living out of his sins for as long as he can. He should have some credibility, having lived the life, but I don't think I can trust anything he says.

Awesome Tiny Things Will Be at Esty 4th Annual Jingle Bash
Alexander Flores
Can't believe it's that time of year again. Damn Christmas songs are already playing, and discounts on Santa Clause dolls that awkwardly hip-shake to "Holly Jolly Christmas" propping up. There's better stuff out there, Grandpa. Much cooler stuff. Last year, art director Alexander Flores was down at the Palladium to check out the Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash--which is where he got so many fantastic shots of kick ass pillows.
Which is also why we're letting you know that the alert just came in though for Etsy's 4th annual offering at the Palladium, where you'll totally fine really awesome teeny crafts (and more from some 60 artists from Dallas), along with, of course, booze, music, and a on-site crafting.

The Scottish Parliament Edinburgh EH99 1SP
EMBT (Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue) with RMJM 2004
In assessing the Scottish Parliament building, it is hard to separate the building itself from the extraordinary cost of creating it. At the official estimate of Ł431 million ($750 million), this amounts to a contribution of more than Ł100 from each Scottish adult, or more than Ł3.3 million ($6 million) to accommodate each of the 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament (there is a total staff in the building of 1,200).
The point is not just that at that price the building had better be good. The significance of the cost is that the big claim of Miralles' design over its competitors was in how democratic it was. The four other shortlisted designs in an invited competition were more classically monumental. The design by Spanish architect Enric Miralles was more self-effacing and metaphorical – an arranged cluster of low-lying buildings nestling into the land:
"The Parliament sits in the land. We have the feeling that the building should be land, built out of land. To carve in the land the form of gathering people together... Scotland is a land… The land itself will be a material, a physical building material…"
This apparently restrained approach, where 60 percent of the urban site is covered in vegetation, appealed to the jury, and in particular to Donald Dewar, Scotland's First Minister and the lead client: "Miralles had ideas about how you put a building into the site that we found very sympathetic… he wasn't looking for a landmark building."
The building is full of democratic references, from the grassy banks that serve as a people's "assembly area" to the dark, monk-cell-inspired inglenooks in each MSP's office; from the narrow, winding corridors and staircases designed to encourage casual interactions between MSPs, to the circular layout of the debating chamber. But this is democracy at a luxury price.
Abstract shapes of Miralles' invention continue the democratic theme, representing "whatever you want them to be", as the tour guide tells us repeatedly. The most ubiquitous and characteristic shape is used at scale on the building façade to shade the windows, and in miniature inside in the perforated grilles of the air conditioning vents. The orthodox interpretation of the shape is as the (loosely inspired) outline of the Reverend Robert Walker skating on Duddingston Loch, a painting in the National Gallery of Scotland. Other interpretations have ranged from hair-dryers to the triggers of revolvers. This freedom of interpretation feels less an exercise in democracy, and more an unquestioning hero-worship exacerbated by the untimely deaths during the project of both Enrico Miralles, the lead architect, and Donald Dewar, the lead client.
The materials and the detailing spare no expense in communicating the Scottish heritage that the form of the building omits. Saltire crosses are embedded in the silky-smooth concrete vaults in the public entrance. The stepped gables prevalent in the Royal Mile are turned upside-down in the bottom of the projecting inglenooks in the MSPs' offices. Grey granite was quarried from a disused Scottish quarry in Aberdeenshire, re-opened specially for the building (and now remaining open, exploiting the new fame of its stone). Scottish oak is used selectively, complemented by oak from mainland Europe.
The roof of the debating chamber is a complex construction of tensile steel wires and steel-reinforced oak beams, inspired by the hammer-beam roof of the 1639 Parliament building; the structure does provide a clear view for all MSPs with no obstructing columns, but with a gratuitous visual complexity that is made more extreme by a cacophony of suspended lights and cameras. This excess extends beyond the chamber. A committee room sitting fourteen MSPs around a table is illuminated by seventy ceiling-hung spotlights.
(In March 2006 it became clear that the complexity of the chamber's roof was more than visual, when one of the oak beams came free from its steel mounting, causing the chamber to be closed for several weeks.)
The result is a building with beautiful spaces. It has won major architectural awards, including the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2005. The Architectural Review describes how
The new Scottish Parliament has soul in spades. Conjured up by the Catalan magus Enric Miralles, it is a heady, hedonistic brew that distils aspects of Kahn, Aalto, Mackintosh and Gaudi and infuses them with Scottish history and myth, geography and geology. A Celtic-Catalan cocktail to blow both minds and budgets, it doesn't play safe, energetically mining a new seam of National Romanticism refined and reinterpreted for the twenty-first century.
And so it does. But it does so with the refined – to the point of elitist – feeling of a concert hall or art gallery, betraying the project's democratic aspirations.
Simon Glynn 2006

Newrok Shadowblade (3.5e Deity)
this wiki
Dukelzan (talk) | |
Date Created: | 14 December, 2010 |
Status: | Tweeking |
Editing: | Please feel free to edit constructively! |
Hero Deity | |
Symbol: | A blood red outline of a Dragon skull on a black background |
Home Plane: | Olympian Galdes of Arborea |
Alignment: | Chaotic Good |
Portfolio: | Birth, Creation, Nature, Travel, War |
Favored Weapon: | Dual-Scimitar |
A mortal that has reached the ultimate pinnacle of power
Standing at five foot six and only around 120 pounds, this human seems to be more then a little Elven. He wears a sleeveless shirt, pants, and boots, all black. His cape is also black. On his shirt is a blood red outline of a dragon's skull laying on a black background. His only visible weapon is a dual-scimitar carried across his shoulders. HE is also smoking a pipe.
Dogma Edit
Few follow Newrok, but those that do always believe that every action creates something, no matter how destructive that action is. A war ends thousands of live, but creates a new country. This is their motto. They have no home, because that would stop them from seeing creation in its infinite forms. They have few enemies. If the person wants only to destroy, they will never be seen around that person. They are willing to go to war if the cause is great enough. After all, Newrok fought in countless wars during his travels, and they continue today. Many clerics of Newrok have two deities. Newrok and another as their patron. Newrok is fine with this as he can't grant spells. HE never discovered this power.
Clergy and Temples Edit
The clergy keeps no temple. That would take form nature and ruin its beauty. The only church that there is for Newrok is in the hearts of people. War is the only time prayers are sent to him. Followers believe that he then studies the war and picks the side that is the most just and fight fort them as simple foot soldier. His only request for followers is to look at for Rage, one of his own brothers bent on killing him.

If you are beginning your search to find the best Ohio homeowners insurance quotes then it would definitely benefit you to know what to expect before you start. Knowing the average cost of homeowners insurance in Ohio will enable you to have a ballpark figure to which you can compare your yearly premiums. You will be able to use this information during comparison shopping to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible. However, you still need to be aware that rates can vary depending on many factors such as the location of your house, as well as the level of security your house has and also your current credit score.
Average Cost of Ohio Homeowners Insurance
Ohio actually ranks in the 10 states with the lowest insurance premiums, making the homeowners insurance rates some of the lowest in the country. The average homeowners insurance cost currently stands at around $613 which is in fact $267 less than the national average.
How is Insurance Cost Determined?
There are many factors that come in to play when insurance companies provide you with a quote. Each of these factors are weighed for every policyholder. The most major considerations include the type of policy that is purchased e.g. are you looking for a basic policy or do you require more comprehensive coverage. Considerations will also conclude the deductible limits selected e.g. in most cases selecting higher deductibles will lower the cost of the premium. Homeowners insurance companies will also take the location of the property into consideration, as well as information detailing the age of the property and the condition that is in. A big component affecting the cost will also be the credit history of the policy holder.
Why are Insurance Rates so Low?
The main reason the cost of insurance is so low in Ohio comes down to the fact that there is far less extreme weather experience than many other states. For example, weather events that frequently cause high levels of damage such as earthquakes, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires do not occur often in Ohio, making it far less likely that residents will claim on their insurance for extreme damage caused by these types of events. States that have much higher occurrences of extreme weather such as California and Texas report average homeowner's insurance rates that are actually more than double the rate in Ohio.

I had a mini tummy tuck a year and a half ago. I still have upper stomach laxtisaty and I already paid in full for zerona starting next week. Now that I read all the negative things on here I am not sure if I should tell my doc I want to switch and get titan(if they will let me?) instead she did give me that option but I guess since I said my hip fat was a problem to she said zerona would work better. I dont know what to do but I dont want to waist the 2,750 I have already paid.
Zerona vs. Titan for Skin Laxity
Doctor Answers 1
Hi Chris,
Neither Zerona or Titan are very effective treatments. You should be able to have your $2750 returned if you decide not to do the treatment. Zeltiq is effective for small pooches, but we have found that Accent XL has been the most effective non-invasive treatment for skin laxity of the abdomen, and is likely a better place for your dollars to be spent. Good luck and be well.

Q: I have a very athletic 10-year-old, 17-hand Warmblood gelding who is very well-behaved. He doesn't bite, doesn't kick, and is the most passive horse in the field. He is ridden five or six times a week for training (jumpers). That said, he likes/needs to lick everything or have food in his mouth all of the time. He goes through his salt lick every few weeks; he has a Nibblenet slow feeder for hay, but he consumes it faster than other horses do even without the net. He drinks tons of water and pees a lot, too. While I'm within reach (grooming, tacking, washing, etc) he is licking any and every part of me--clothes, skin, hair ... nothing is off limits.
I have a hard time keeping his weight down, as his heart rate is very slow and he is always munching in the field/stall and the grazing muzzle really irritates his skin (even with sheepskin covering the edges).
Bottom line, what causes this quirk? If he were a person, I'd say there was a lot of anxiety and insecurity. If that is a possibility, what can be done?
Leslie Page, via e-mail
A: One big question is how long has your horse been doing this? Especially if the licking behavior is not new, and because he drinks so much and eats more salt than most horses, I would recommend first having an internal medicine specialist and possibly a nutrition specialist evaluate this horse. Even though your horse does not exhibit all the classic signs of gastric ulcers, I would also want to rule those out. Gastric ulcers may or may not be the root cause of the horse's anxiety, but they can lead to licking and mouth activity in an attempt to produce saliva, the body's natural antacid. If you and your veterinarian find nothing medical to explain the licking, I would then return to exploring behavioral causes.

Alyssa Milano: Working With Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs on Charmed Was "Like High School"
Looks like Alyssa Milano's experience on Charmed didn't quite live up to the title of the show. Talking with Andy Cohen on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday, July 9, the Mistresses actress hinted that things weren't always magical between her and former costars Shannen Doherty and Holly Marie Combs.
PHOTOS: '90s TV stars, then and now
Asked what really went down when Doherty left the show in 2001 after playing witchy sister Prue Halliwell for three seasons, the 40-year-old Who's the Boss? alum said even she wasn't sure. "We never really found out what happened," she told the fan who asked the question. "I can tell you that we were on the air with her for three years, and there were definitely some rough days."
"Holly and Shannen were best friends for like 10 years before the show started, so it was very much sort of like high school," she explained. "I would hope that in our thirties it wouldn't be like that anymore."
"High school is over!" Cohen quipped.
The former child star laughed, then added: "I never went to a high school because I was tutored on the set, but I imagine it would have been a lot like that."
Combs, now starring on ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars, apparently disagreed with Milano's assessment of the experience. "Working on Charmed was nothing like high school," she tweeted. "I went to high school. It was a very important job to me and always will be."

"Yeah, agreed, considering it helped me support my family and pay for my dad's medical issues, but everyone has their opinion and views," Doherty chimed in. She later added, however, that she wasn't mad and thought Milano "did a great job" on WWHL. "That show can be tricky," she tweeted to a fan.
"OK, gang, there's no drama," she clarified. "Let's not feed into it!!"
Milano, for her part, later tried to smooth things over with her former costars. In response to Combs' tweet, she wrote, "You're lovely...My best to the family! Mwah! And my parents send their love to you!"
Combs didn't respond, but she and Milano can at least agree on one thing: Charmed was important to both of them. "It was the best job I've ever had in my life," Milano said on WWHL. "Certainly a learning experience."

Thread: Best Books Ever
Results 31 to 40 of 41
I listen to audio books while I work. From the Library, or I pick them up at yardsales, or a bargain basement place. I have listened to most of the Stephen King DarkTower series and LOVED some of them. I wasn't wild about the ending.
Books I will read, or listen to more than once are the Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisters. I absolutely loved it. So shoot me.
I loved Ruth Rendell's, "Crocodile Bird". Listened 3 times and will listen again. It might not be as good of a read as it is a listen. The reader is amazing.
Garden of Beasts, by Jeffrey Deaver was very good, and I will listen again.
Dean Koontz- The Watchers. Delightful read, and listen.
To Kill a Mockingbird-Harper
Carrie - Stephen King
I keep trying to listen to the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, but mostly I fall asleep to it.
Oh.. one more. I actually had time to read this one. I loved it.. very easy read and couldn't put it down until the end. "The five people you meet in Heaven".
P.S.S Another must read. Jeannette Walls - Glass Castles.
P.S.S.S The boy named IT.
What is all the fuss about "Catcher in the Rye"??? I recently finished that for the first time.Last edited by Jumpy; 06-11-2008 at 09:06 PM.
When it was published (and for way too many decades thereafter) it was considered a groundbreaking insight into adolescent angst. The futility what-his-name feels in engaging the "adult" world is supposed to make us question the hypocrisy and uselessness of most adult interaction.
In reality, it just showed us the typical adolescent experience of an upper class, white liberal of the type who would later write wrenching Letters-to-the-Editor of the NYT about the evils of Wal-Mart while avidly investing in the commodities market. :)
The mild (by our experience) vulgarity is what shot it to the top of the bestseller lists and made it a high school staple.
I would not personally consider it important enough to make a top 10 list of American literature. A much better take on adolescent male coming-of-age can be found in 'A Separate Peace' from roughly the same era.

For you Dean Koontz fans, how many of you loved Velocity and The Takers? I think I got that last title right.
I'm thinking of checking out the Odd Thomas books. Any thoughts?

Apokyn Dosage
Generic name: APOMORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE 30mg in 3mL
Dosage form: injection
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Important Administration Instructions
APOKYN is indicated for subcutaneous administration only [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] and only by a multiple-dose APOKYN Pen with supplied cartridges. The initial dose and dose titrations should be performed by a healthcare provider. Blood pressure and pulse should be measured in the supine and standing position before and after dosing.
A caregiver or patient may administer APOKYN if a healthcare provider determines that it is appropriate. Instruct patients to follow the directions provided in the Patients Instructions For Use. Because the APOKYN Pen has markings in milliliters (mL), the prescribed dose of APOKYN should be expressed in mL to avoid confusion.
Visually inspect the APOKYN drug product through the viewing window for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. The solution should not be used if discolored (it should be colorless), or cloudy, or if foreign particles are present. Rotate the injection site and use proper aseptic technique [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) and Patient Counseling Information (17)].
Premedication and Concomitant Medication
APOKYN should be initiated with the use of a concomitant antiemetic [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Oral trimethobenzamide (300 mg three times a day) should be started 3 days prior to the initial dose of APOKYN and continued at least during the first two months of therapy.
Based on reports of profound hypotension and loss of consciousness when apomorphine was administered with ondansetron, the concomitant use of apomorphine with drugs of the 5HT3 antagonist class including antiemetics (for example, ondansetron, granisetron, dolasetron, palonosetron) and alosetron are contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)].
Dosing Information
The recommended starting dose of APOKYN is 0.2 mL (2 mg). Titrate on the basis of effectiveness and tolerance, up to a maximum recommended dose of 0.6 mL (6 mg) [see Clinical Studies (14)].
There is no evidence from controlled trials that doses greater than 0.6 mL (6 mg) gave an increased effect and therefore, individual doses above 0.6 mL (6 mg) are not recommended. The average frequency of dosing in the development program was 3 times per day. There is limited experience with single doses greater than 0.6 mL (6 mg), dosing more than 5 times per day and with total daily doses greater than 2 mL (20 mg).
Begin dosing when patients are in an "off" state. The initial dose should be a 0.2 mL (2 mg) test dose in a setting where medical personnel can closely monitor blood pressure and pulse. Both supine and standing blood pressure and pulse should be checked pre-dose and at 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes post-dose (and after 60 minutes, if there is significant hypotension at 60 minutes). Patients who develop clinically significant orthostatic hypotension in response to this test dose of APOKYN should not be considered candidates for treatment with APOKYN.
If the patient tolerates the 0.2 mL (2 mg) dose, and responds adequately, the starting dose should be 0.2 mL (2 mg), used on an as needed basis to treat recurring "off" episodes. If needed, the dose can be increased in 0.1 mL (1 mg) increments every few days on an outpatient basis.
The general principle guiding subsequent dosing (described in detail below) is to determine that the patient needs and can tolerate a higher test dose, 0.3 mL or 0.4 mL (3 mg or 4 mg, respectively) under close medical supervision. A trial of outpatient dosing may follow (periodically assessing both efficacy and tolerability), using a dose 0.1 mL (1 mg) lower than the tolerated test dose.
If the patient tolerates the 0.2 mL (2 mg) test dose but does not respond adequately, a dose of 0.4 mL (4 mg) may be administered under medical supervision, at least 2-hours after the initial test dose, at the next observed "off" period. If the patient tolerates and responds to a test dose of 0.4 mL (4 mg), the initial maintenance dose should be 0.3 mL (3 mg) used on an as needed basis to treat recurring "off" episodes as an outpatient. If needed, the dose can be increased in 0.1 mL (1 mg) increments every few days on an outpatient basis.
If the patient does not tolerate a test dose of 0.4 mL (4 mg), a test dose of 0.3 mL (3 mg) may be administered during a separate "off" period under medical supervision, at least 2hours after the previous dose. If the patient tolerates the 0.3 mL (3 mg) test dose, the initial maintenance dose should be 0.2 mL (2 mg) used on an as needed basis to treat existing "off" episodes. If needed, and the 0.2 mL (2 mg) dose is tolerated, the dose can be increased to 0.3 mL (3 mg) after a few days. In such a patient, the dose should ordinarily not be increased to 0.4 mL (4 mg) on an outpatient basis.
Dosing in Patients with Renal Impairment
For patients with mild and moderate renal impairment, the test dose and starting dose should be reduced to 0.1 mL (1 mg) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
Dosing in Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Closely monitor patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].
Re-treatment and Interruption in Therapy
If a single dose of APOKYN is ineffective for a particular "off" period, a second dose should not be given for that "off" episode. The efficacy of the safety of administering a second dose for a single "off" episode has not been studied systematically. Do not administer a repeat dose of APOKYN sooner than 2 hours after the last dose.
Patients who have an interruption in therapy of more than a week should be restarted on a 0.2 mL (2 mg) dose and gradually titrated to effect and tolerability.

Whole Wheat Cream Puff Shells
Low fat milk | 3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs) | |
Unsalted butter | 6 Tablespoon, cut into cubes | |
Salt | 1⁄2 Teaspoon | |
White pepper | 1⁄8 Teaspoon | |
Unbleached all-purpose flour | 1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) | |
Whole wheat flour | 1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) | |
Eggs | 4 Large (At Room Temperature) | |
Egg | 1 Large, combined with 2 tablespoons milk, for egg wash | |
Milk | 2 Tablespoon, combined with egg, for egg wash |
Preheat your oven to 400°F.combine the milk, butter, salt and pepper in a heavy, medium-size saucepan and bring it to a full boil.
Remove the pan from the heat and add both flours all at once, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Return the pot to medium heat and continue stirring and flipping the pastry to dry it out, about 5 to 7 minutes.
A slight coating will form on the bottom of the pan and the dough will be smooth and slightly shiny.
Make sure it does not burn.
Remove the pan from the heat and begin adding the eggs, one at a time, completely incorporating each egg before adding the next.
A good test to determine if a fourth egg is needed is to pinch off a small amount of the dough between your thumb and index finger.
Separate your fingers slowly.
If the dough breaks into two parts, it is too dry and another egg is necessary.
It should form a U shaped strand between the two fingers.
Butter 2 cookie sheets and then quickly run them under cold water, shaking to leave just a few drops on each pan or line the pan with parchment paper.
Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain number 4 tip and squeeze the dough into small mounds about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and height, about 2 inches apart.
Brush carefully with the egg wash, taking care not to let it drip onto the cookie sheet, or the puffs will not rise properly.
Immediately transfer the pan to the upper third of your preheated oven and bake until puffed and a rich amber color, about 25 minutes.
Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and with a spatula transfer the puffs to a rack to cool.
Once the puffs are cooled, carefully split them in half horizontally and remove any uncooked dough from the center with a spoon.
Cooled cream puffs may be frozen in Ziploc bags for 2 to 3 weeks.

In 2003, then Federal Reserve Governor Ben Bernanke urged the Japanese government to protect the Bank of Japan from capital losses on its massive holdings of domestic government bonds. In a speech to the Japan Society of Monetary Economics in Tokyo, he argued that "heated and unproductive debate" over the impact of capital losses on the BoJ's balance sheet would interfere with the rational conduct of monetary policy. Japan's central bank, he said, was insufficiently aggressive in its response to deflation because it had one eye wrongly trained on an accounting issue.
Fast forward 10 years, and the Fed is in a comparable position. The minutes of the January Federal Open Market Committee meeting revealed concern that the "risks of asset purchases" might cause the Fed to "taper or end its purchases" before "improvement in the outlook for the labor market had occurred." In other words, the concern of some members of the FOMC over potential losses on the Fed's massive holdings of mortgage-backed securities was affecting the central bank's thinking about monetary policy. That's what Mr. Bernanke had warned Japan not to let happen.
Mr. Bernanke had urged the BoJ and the Japanese Ministry of Finance to enter into an interest-rate swap that would move the risk of capital losses off the central bank's balance sheet. We believe the Fed needs a similar swap with the U.S. Treasury today.
The Fed currently holds $1.1 trillion in mortgage-backed securities. Given Wednesday's FOMC announcement that it would continue purchasing these securities at a pace of $40 billion a month, the bank is on track to increase its MBS holdings to $1.5 trillion by the end of the year—around 27% of the market.
The FOMC has already expressed a desire to reduce such holdings as a means of normalizing the size and composition of its balance sheet (typically comprised overwhelmingly of short-term Treasury securities) when the time comes to bring to an end its policy of maintaining near-zero short-term interest rates. The problem: Selling MBS into the shallow market for these securities could drive down their prices, drive up mortgage rates, and depress house and real estate prices. Such a development might not only derail the economic recovery but trigger intervention from policy makers reacting to angry constituents. Rising interest rates also threaten large capital losses on the Fed's portfolio of these securities.
Chairman Bernanke is well aware of these risks. He has emphasized that the Fed has other tools for tightening monetary policy besides asset sales. These include term deposit auctions (term deposits are like certificates of deposit, or CDs) to entice banks to lock up their funds with the Fed for a fixed period. Yet the Fed is unlikely to be willing to allow rates to rise as far and as fast as the market may demand in a term deposit auction.
The European Central Bank—which has carried out many such auctions since 2010—places caps on the rates it pays. As a result, seven of its auctions have failed, meaning that the ECB failed to withdraw euros from the market despite its public pledges to do so. The Fed will lose credibility at a crucial time if it says that it will drain liquidity from the financial system but fails.
Therefore, a conventional approach to monetary tightening—selling securities from the Fed's bloated balance sheet—is the sounder choice, at least provided that it is not forced to sell illiquid, sector-specific securities like MBS. To accomplish this, the Fed should sell its MBS portfolio to Treasury at face value in exchange for an equivalent amount of Treasury securities issued for the purpose of facilitating the swap. There is precedent for this: The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 gave Treasury the authority to purchase MBS guaranteed by Fannie Mae FNMA +1.83% and Freddie Mac FMCC +1.46% . Our plan is logically identical to the one that Mr. Bernanke urged on Japan 10 years ago.
Concern may still be raised that Treasury would be aiding the Fed in escaping responsibility for managing the necessary aftermath of its extraordinary market interventions. If financial risks can be dumped onto another government body, they may be insufficiently accounted for when the Fed acts. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act offers a template for future crisis interventions that addresses this concern—a template in which only Treasury, and not the Fed, intervenes in markets for securities other than those that Treasury itself issues.

Photo Friday ~ A Bridge in New York City
This photo is dated 1963, so my husband must have been about two and half years old in this photo! The woman is his great aunt, "Tia Chon". Her real name was Maria Ascension Garcia, sister of my husband's grandfather. When his parents married in January 1960 and came to New York City from Spain, my husband was born in November of the same year. In Spain the extended family would have taken care of any children, but they were newly arrived immigrants to the USA. So they arranged for Tia Chon to come be the babysitter, since she had never married and wanted to see America. Tia Chon came from the tiny village of Puerto Seguro in Salamanca, so New York City must have been a great experience for her. My father-in-law worked at the United Nations, and my mother-in-law worked for a New York publisher.
I'm told that the bridge in the background is the George Washington Bridge, and that this was photographed at the Cloisters Museum. If anyone from New York City can help identify the setting, that would be very helpful!
How do you like the hat? My husband is still a big fan of hats. He has a hat in his current wardrobe just like this one, and a fez, a Mexican sombrero, a Stetson, several Panamas, berets, baseball hats, fedoras, a colonial tricorn, and a collection of wild winter polar fleece hats that are pretty unbelievable.
This photo was taken at Bear Mountain State Park in New York. The background shows the Hudson River and some buildings or a bridge. It probably dates from about the same time as the photo above. Starting at the right is my mother-in-law with my husband on her lap. Next to her in the dark clothing is Tia Chon. The young girl in the foreground is, Julia, a friend of the family, and to the left is a young woman named Amparo. Amparo was another relative from Puerto Seguro, Spain who also came to New York to babysit my husband. She later became a nun in Peru.
UPDATE- Reader Wendy Walter has identified the bridge in the first photo as the Queensboro Bridge. We checked on Google Maps and Google Streetview and from the angle of the photo we think it was possibly photographed at the United Nations Plaza. This makes sense, because that is where my father-in-law was employed at this time! Thanks, Wendy!

I love the custom of family members helping out. We don't see that as often, now that everyone works. My children stayed with my father-in-law during the summers after he retired. It was ideal, their grandparents lived on the other side of a 40 acre field. The kids slept in, ate breakfast and walked down. In those days, we didn't have to worry whether or not the house was locked!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Now I understand your last name, because your husband comes from Spain. He had some good babysitters with both his great aunt and Amparo . . . sounds as if he had a great childhood with lots of loving people around.
Yes, it certainly looks like the George Washington Bridge to me, and the Cloisters is a well-groomed place, just like the landscape in the background. I love the way your husband, as a little boy, is dressed in a cute suit and hat, and especially the way he is looking up at Tia Chon.That bridge does not appear to be the George Washington Bridge but I think it may be the Queensboro Bridge, linking Manhattan to Queens and passing over Roosevelt Island. I am not familiar with the neighborhoods around the bridge so I don't know exactly where the photo was taken. Here is a photo of it on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensboro_Bridge
Great photos!
