The Myth of Linux Security
Tony Lock has written an article quoting Nick McGrath's allegations that Linux security is a myth. McGrath states that the lack of viruses for Linux is also a myth. Lock agrees that there has been malicious code released against Linux lately, but doesn't cite his source or give examples. In the end Lock writes, "Security and Linux may be a myth, but no more so than for any other operating system" but then concludes
"all "security" is a myth; people and processes secure systems, not technology alone. However, Linux is usable, relatively secure and enjoys support enough to allow its use in mainstream business where appropriate. Oh, and it is being used." Well, he may have a point there. An interesting and thought provoking read.

Best Uses
Comments about RRS Womens Road Runner Sports Runner's High Short Sleeve Technical Tops: Bought to wear to yoga but it isn't suitable as gathers around neckline and hikes up at hip when in inverted poses. The length offers nice coverage but is rather loose for my primary intended purpose. Decided to wear for hiking and Zumba because I adore the colors offered and feel of fabric next to my skin. I'm purchasing additional colors, however, because the fit is so great for other sports like tennis, etc.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about RRS Womens Road Runner Sports Runner's High Short Sleeve Technical Tops: I love this top for a few reasons: The MP3 pocket is perfect for keys, GU onlong runs, or my iPod. I get really hot when I work out so the mesh side panels help with that problem. The fit is flattering but not too tight. Lastly, I love the bold colors. I bought this in surf and am going back for the watermelon.

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities have confirmed that the bodies of two people found on Mount Evans are that of a father and son missing since going for a hike in April.
The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said Friday that the bodies of Damian and Evan McManus of St. Louis Park, Minnesota were recovered Thursday.
They were last heard from April 2 when one of them told a friend they were going to scale a peak. They were reported missing on April 6, when the search for them began.
Dozens of searchers, including some visiting firefighters from the Minneapolis area, have spent about 5,000 hours looking for them.

Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recently hosted a second telework training session designed to train and increase employee participation at the seventeen agencies reporting less than two percent employee participation in telework in the 2002 OPM Report to Congress. The training was held at OPM's D.C. headquarters and provided a roundtable discussion of the latest telework trends and efforts some agencies have made to increase telework participation.
"OPM is focused on working with these agencies to increase employee participation," stated OPM Director Kay Coles James. "Through the training sessions and other outreach efforts, OPM has been providing agencies with training on the available tools they need to incorporate telework successfully."
Discussion at the training focused on reasons for low telework participation; steps to increase participation such as telework pilot programs for employees, on-line training, and ideas on acquiring telework equipment including laptop and recycled personal computers; and ways to overcome management resistance, including special pilot programs tailored for reluctant managers. Also discussed was using telework during emergencies, with specific examples of past regional and national emergencies.
"I continue to stress the importance of telework because of its effectiveness as a human capital management tool, and because it plays a significant role in agencies' emergency planning and preparedness efforts," stated James. "The benefits of teleworking to the environment due to the resulting ease on city traffic, as well as the time employees can allocate to their families or educational interests, are additional factors agencies should consider as they look at further implementing telework policies."
OPM and the General Services Administration, OPM's telework partner, have worked closely with other federal agencies and the offices of congressional members to promote telework and educate federal human resources managers and employees on its effectiveness as a human capital tool.
In addition to the two training sessions, which trained nine of the seventeen agencies that reported minimal telework use, OPM recently hosted a webinar, an Internet-based seminar, where participating agencies heard from nationally-recognized telework consultant Gil Gordon, who drew on more than twenty years of practical experience implementing telework, as well as a panel of managers who shared their views of telework.
The agencies who participated in the latest training were:
Office of National Drug Control Policy
Small Business Administration
Postal Rate Commission
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
Agencies who participated in the June 22 training:
Department of State
Department of Veterans Affairs
Peace Corps
Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
Our mission is to Recruit, Retain and Honor a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People. OPM supports U.S. agencies with personnel services and policy leadership including staffing tools, guidance on labor-management relations and programs to improve work force performance.

Full disclosure, dear readers—I'm not a TV viewer. I chucked the set years ago and mainly watch things on computers.
But then, television hasn't changed much in decades, so I feel I'm still qualified to opine on the boob tube's future. And two weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to glimpse a possible part of that future at the Santa Clara, Calif., headquarters of Intel INTC 0.31627776215912284% Intel Corp.

The service faces a number of hurdles, including potential obstruction by the cable and telephone industries, but what I witnessed could take Intel in a thrilling new direction.
Sometime this year, the chip giant will offer a set-top box at retail, with a subscription service that brings you live television over your broadband Internet connection.
It is, in industry argot, an "over the top" video connection, requiring no actual TV package from the four major "multiple system operators," or MSOs, as they're called— Comcast CMCSA 0.2418054809242343% Comcast Corp.

WITHOUT GIVING TOO MUCH AWAY, the user interface seemed to hover beautifully above the currently playing show. An elegant simple menu made it easy to switch between channels or to pick and rent a recent film. It was light years from the cumbersome garbage that takes up most of the screen when using a standard cable-channel picker.
There was a wide array of popular channels to choose from that would be familiar to any couch potato, though the final lineup is still being formulated. Equally important, when you hit the button on the remote, the TV seemed to jump to the next channel faster than is typical on cable. There also is a time-shifting aspect that goes beyond DVR, allowing you to go back through recent episodes.
One wonders: Why hasn't TV always been this way?
Others who've viewed the project are enthusiastic, too. "The No. 1 thing I noticed was speed," says Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy. Intel's horsepower in the set-top is partially responsible for this, but multiple data centers that Intel is building to serve video also were a factor. "A lot of the value comes from what they've done on the back end," says Moorhead. "They have the highest-performance Intel servers and video-encoding technology." And he notes, "This is live television," unlike other over-the-top offerings, like those from the TV network consortium Hulu, Apple's AAPL -0.3468637246738829% Apple Inc.

"It's something I've never experienced before" in an Internet offering, Moorhead adds.
No less thrilling is the fact that Intel, which makes $53 billion in yearly revenue from selling chips, and spends billions to make them, is becoming both a hardware and software vendor.
The project is the effort of Erik Huggers and his staff of 350 people. Huggers, 40, won praise for developing the iPlayer for the BBC, a piece of video software that allows one to follow the channel's TV and radio broadcasts. He came to Intel two years ago to advance efforts to sell chips to set-top makers. He made a bold move in telling his boss that the $4.5 billion TV-chip market wasn't desirable. "The market was split up between 20 or more silicon providers, and it was a race to the bottom on prices," says Huggers. "I said, 'I don't know how we ever turn that into a profitable market.' " Instead, he pleaded, "Release me to go after the $500 billion television market in a very different way." He got his wish.
If Huggers has a hit, Intel will get not just set-top revenue, but also an annual payment stream from subscriptions, after splitting fees with content providers. It's also a smart way for the chip giant to diversify.
Numerous unknowns remain. Intel isn't disclosing the price of the box or the service. The box itself will inspire an iPhone-like techno lust, Huggers assures me, though I didn't see the final hardware. But will people be willing to pay Intel on top of paying for broadband and for Netflix, Hulu, etc.? Huggers contends that Intel's service will "surprise and delight" viewers with a constant stream of new features, making it more and more valuable to them.
More prickly is the art of the deal. In his bunker at Intel, Huggers has on his desk a bowl of genuine shark teeth. They are a reminder that in closing deals with content providers—HBO, AMC, ABC, CBS (CBS), etc.—the fight for content rights can be brutal. And Intel's service must have the right channels or it just won't fly.
Huggers won't say how many partners he has signed, but, he maintains, "We see incredibly serious engagement on the part of every programmer we talk with. I feel very good about our ability to get the right terms to move forward."
But content providers are hardly the most difficult obstacle. Time Warner and Comcast both have over-the-top offerings, in the form of tablet and smartphone apps that let you watch video away from the TV set. Neither wants to lose the value running over their coaxial lines.
In a recent report, media analyst Rich Greenfield of BTIG Research wrote that some cable operators have gotten content holders to agree to what would appear to be "anticompetitive" contracts that prevent them from licensing to "classes" of distributors such as Intel.
GREENFIELD THINKS THERE ARE WAYS in which all parties can be satisfied. "If you are a content provider, why would you not want more avenues to distribution?" he asks, while noting that, for the cable operators, "selling broadband at $100 a month can be a lot more compelling, versus $50 for pay TV, especially at the very high margins of broadband versus video" if a partnership can be struck.
Huggers maintains there are "all kinds of opportunities" for incumbent broadband providers to partner with Intel.
If push comes to shove, there is precedent for the U.S. government to encourage video on new platforms. In 1992, Congress compelled the cable operators to sell affiliated programming to the new broadcast-satellite companies, notes Blair Levin, a fellow with the Aspen Institute. Says Levin: "If, in a year's time, things are going just fine" for Intel, "it diminishes the argument for government intervention" to open up the field of video distribution. "If not, well, it probably strengthens that argument."
I certainly hope that it works out for Intel; as a potential subscriber, I'm ready for it. Sometimes, even TV Luddites like to watch The Big Bang Theory.

Thread: fingers together for sparring
7/03/2013 12:03am, #11--
I like a left fist and a right open hand ready to parry the jab.
7/03/2013 3:02pm, #122
Basically, all one need do is consider what fingers were evolved to do.
Dexterity for the making and manipulation of tools and weapons--some of them precision instruments--would, over millenia of evolution, have favoured grace over structural strength.
Open hands (but fingers together) for bars, locks, throws (and some open-handed strikes if you're into those)? Sure.
Otherwise, keep 'em tight.
But that's just me...

Swayze memoir coming out this fall Swayze memoir coming out this fall 28 mins ago NEW YORK – A "deeply personal memoir" by Patrick Swayze and his wife is coming out this fall. "The currently untitled book will offer an intimate account of Patrick Swayze's childhood, career and marriage, as well as his brave fight against a diagnosis of stage-four pancreatic cancer, from which he has gleaned wisdom and has remained resolutely optimistic," according to a statement released Thursday by Atria Books. "Swayze's wife of over 30 years, Lisa Niemi, will give insight into the intensity of her experience and the enormity of helping a loved one battle a life-threatening disease." The 56-year-old actor, known for such films as "Ghost" and "Dirty Dancing," stars in the new A&E drama "The Beast." "With everything I've been fortunate enough to do in my life, and covering such a wide range of diverse subject matters, I'm told that my story has been inspirational to people," Swayze, diagnosed with cancer last year, said in a statement issued by Atria. "I will write from my heart about these experiences and aside from the sheer pleasure of doing it, if people happen to garner inspiration from it, or incentive, or find a new way to love, it would be wonderful." Atria is an imprint of Simon & Schuster. Swayze memoir coming out this fall - Yahoo! News |

SOCHI, Russia — They were shut out in one gold medal game, blindsided by the Swedes in the semifinals and watched a 35-game winning streak swirl down the drain at the Olympics.
American women hockey players have endured incredible heartbreak when the stakes were highest, but this? Blowing a two-goal lead Thursday with less than four minutes to go until the medal ceremony?
It might take 16 more years for the program to recover.
Marie-Philip Poulin's second goal of the game, a 4-on-3 power-play marker 8:10 into overtime, secured Canada's fourth consecutive gold medal triumph since Team USA won the initial Olympic championship in 1998.
This was a comeback and meltdown for the ages.
"It's really hard to swallow right now, a tough one for sure," said U.S. forward Jocelyn Lamoureux. "It sucks."
Lamoureux was in the penalty box after being whistled off for slashing, banished for trying to whack a loose puck from Canadian goalie Shannon Szabados' pads. Asked whether British referee Joy Tottman made a bad call, Lamoureux demurred — somewhat.
"I don't want to say that myself but I would agree with that, especially when (Szabados) didn't have it," Lamoureux said. "It was between her knees."
It was a game filled with gripes from the bench by both coaches and several huddles among officials. Asked about the officiating, U.S. coach Katey Stone offered a stiff "No comment."
Regardless, Team USA had plenty for which to answer after settling for silver medals for the third time in four Olympics.
It held a 2-0 lead on goals by Meghan Duggan midway through the second period and Alex Carpenter at 2:01 of third. The Americans steadily made the safe plays, carefully working pucks out of danger and dumping them back into Canada's zone to protect what should have been a commanding lead.
However Brianne Jenner sparked Canada's revival when her shot ricocheted off a leg past U.S. netminder Jessie Vetter with 3:26 remaining.
The crowd of 10,639 at Bolshoy Ice Dome, which had been equally supportive of both teams, suddenly erupted and adopted the Canadians, likely rooting as much for a tying goal and extended play.
Poulin gave them what they wanted.
With Szabados pulled for the extra attacker, Poulin pounced on a loose puck at the top of the crease and banged it into a wide-open net with 54.6 seconds remaining, touching off an even wilder celebration.
Moments earlier U.S. forward Kelli Stack had almost iced it. Her clearing shot around a linesman near the U.S. blue line tumbled 150 feet down the ice toward Canada's empty net only to clank harmlessly off the right goal post with 1:24 remaining.
"Yeah, unlucky," said Lamoureux. "They played really desperate. Couple big bounces helped them. It was a tough one."
Stunned heading to overtime, Team USA managed to recover during the intermission and came out flying 4-on-4, using its speed to create several scoring chances.
But Szabados, whose 2-0 shutout four years ago in Vancouver vanquished the Americans, withstood the early barrage, making a snazzy glove save on defenseman Gigi Marvin to set the stage for Poulin's heroics.
Poulin crashed the net and finished a fine three-way passing play with veteran Hayley Wickenheiser and Laura Fortino.
"It was a great play by Wick and Fortino," Poulin said. "They gave it to me right on the tape and I tried to shoot it right away."
In 2006, unheralded Sweden shocked Team USA with a 3-2 shootout victory in Turin, Italy. Four years earlier at Salt Lake City, the United States ran its winning streak to 35 games, including a 9-0 run against Canada, into the gold medal game, which the Canadians swiped in another one-goal thriller.
Marvin, a former Gophers star from Warroad, Minn., lauded her team's play and lamented how once again this epic rivalry came down to one goal.
"There were different moments within a game you hope to shut down and eliminate. They capitalized," she said. "They put the puck in the net but I'm very, very proud of every one of my teammates. This entire experience represents more than just 60 minutes. Yes, we wanted to win. Yes, good will come out of it. Right now, it's the hurting process."
No U.S. player has endured more misery than forward Julie Chu. The former Harvard standout won the 2008 NCAA title as an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Chu is 31 and the team's oldest player, who has chased gold that has eluded her for four Olympics. She was asked how to begin processing this loss.
"Ask me in couple days," she said. "Again I keep going back to the team. They're my strength. They're the reason I continue to battle and work so hard and try to dedicate my entire life to this process playing a sport I absolutely love on a team full of passionate, amazing women."
Not five feet away, Canadian defenseman Natalie Spooner came bounding into the media mixed zone full of joy.
"This is an amazing dream come true!" she yelled to anyone and everyone. "I can't even imagine how this would ever happen. I'm so happy. I'm speechless."

Elsevier Announces the Launch of a New Journal: Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, recently announced the launch of the new journal,Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism (JORT).
The trend of societal changes in the on-going diversification of outdoor recreation activities, coupled with the continuous search for meaningful personal experiences and the social and environmental impact of these activities, contributed to the launch of Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism. As outdoor recreation, nature-based tourism and ecotourism are becoming increasingly important considerations of land-use planning in many regions around the globe, JORT aims to provide a forum for the discussion of the dimensions involved in such decision making.
JORT publishes peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of outdoor recreation planning and management, covering the entire spectrum of settings from wilderness to urban outdoor recreation opportunities. The journalis international in scope and attracts scholars from all parts of the world to facilitate the exchange of ideas. Accepted articles focus on any aspect of theory, methodology, or the concept of outdoor recreation research, planning or management. Interdisciplinary work is especially welcome and may be of a theoretical or a case study nature.
"Managers and planners of recreational ground often wonder what research findings can mean for practical use. To help provide answers to this, we are pleased to present a novel feature of JORT: each article will be accompanied by an executive summary, written by editors and/or authors, highlighting the possible practical implications of the research," explain Prof. Wolfgang Haider and Prof. Ulrike Pröbstl-Haider, Editors-in-Chief of Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism.
All articles published in the first three volumes of the journal available on ScienceDirect for free.

Let's get this party started!....who's got the edge?
Let's get this party started!....who's got the edge?
This is football....
Offense wins championships.
Both of my great grandfathers on my Mom's side fought for Belgium against the Germans, one in WWI, and the other in WWI and WWII. They were both captured and made POW's. You guys have no idea how hard it was for them being a country of about 12 million fighting the Germans. My Mom was about 10 years old when the Germans came marching through the streets of Belgium and wiped them out. They didn't have much of a military but they put up a decent fight and they were part of the resistance, and didn't just waive the white flag like the Frenchies.
My grandparents owned a bar in Brussels and they had to serve the Germans during the occupation. My Mom had it really tough, but thankfully most of the family made it through the war. My dad was a U.S. Marine stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Brussels in the 1950's, and he met my Mom and they got married a year later. I have the best parents in the world, and glad they are still around and doing well in their 80's. I will be happy no matter who wins.
if the USA play like they did in the group games, they'll have every chance to advance. Belgium underwhelmed in all of their games, but really struggled against a very aggressive and physical Algeria team.
Belgium killed us last year in a friendly, but a lot has changed. And the team does not look nearly as good with Lukaku as the main striker with Benteke out injured.
But that defense with guys like Mirallas, Hazard, and the Fro running the offense will be a bitch to deal with.
The question I have is do we have to politicize every sporting event?

I have to give it to the Belgians, they have damn fine beer and chocolate. Regardless, they must lose despite my fondness for their wares.

If Netflix DVDs end up sitting on top of your DVD player for weeks on end while you churn through your streaming queue, you can simplify starting today. Netflix now offers a $7.99-per-month plan that offers only streaming access.
That's the good news, at least for the media-center-savvy types and laptop watchers. On the flip side, Netflix raised its prices for its unlimited DVD plans, especially at the higher end of the DVDs-out-at-once scale. Then again, depending on the shows you watch, and whether you've got access to current TV offerings, you could still save by renting or streaming your television through Netflix and other systems.

Outdoor exercise can help many people develop a greater appreciation of the cold weather and help prevent the winter blues. Instead of letting the dropping mercury drive you indoors, try one of these 10 ways to burn up some calories and make the most of the freeze.
All of these winter pursuits utilize your major muscle groups and multiple joints, so be sure to warm up, stretch and cool down during each winter workout. And don't forget about the importance of dressing for the weather (and your respective sport). As the odds of falling are higher when your balance is compromised on snow or ice, the right gear is critical.
*All calorie counts based on a 145-pound woman. Men and individuals who weigh more will burn more calories.
Snowshoeing is a great way to get an outdoor workout in the winter and torch BIG calories along the way. Because the snow adds resistance and your feet are heavier in snowshoes, you'll recruit more muscle fibers with every step and burn more calories than standard walking or running. Exercisers of all fitness levels can work at their own intensity level and gradually work their way up to longer workouts. Fitsugar.com has several great posts about getting started with snowshoeing that you can check out here.
Don't reserve hiking for the warmer months. Winter is a great time to hike, provided it's not icy and you can still see the trail markers at your local stomping grounds. Hiking around in snow--especially deep snow--can be great exercise, too. It requires more effort from legs and heart than simple walking, and the only additional equipment needed is good, insulated boots that will keep your feet dry and warm.
Let's face it: Most people don't enjoy shoveling because it involves time, hard work, and cold weather. If you view shoveling as a workout challenge, you may start to feel a little differently about it. With an ergonomic shovel and proper form (use your legs, not your arms and back), you'll elevate your heart rate to an aerobic level and burn enough calories to justify skipping the gym that day.
Provided that you're walking back uphill, you'll have fun with your friends (or kids) and boost your aerobic fitness with an hour of sledding. Get more out of it by working hard on your way uphill, and then you're basically doing interval training, which is a great way to burn calories and boost your fitness level.
A power activity that helps improve muscle strength and endurance, downhill skiing targets every muscle from your abs on down. It's fun but can be pricier than other winter sports, especially if you have to rent equipment. If you do decide to buy, check with used sports equipment stores: Ski fanatics often sell their equipment after only a year, so you can get the-almost-latest models at slashed prices! Because people tend to ski for several hours to take advantage of their day passes, you'll get a lot of exercise in a single ski trip, but keep in mind that these calories burned estimates don't apply to the downtime you spend sipping hot chocolate in the lodge or relaxing on the ski lift on your way back uphill!
Ice skating boosts your endurance, balance and coordination and is the aerobic equivalent of a light to moderate jog. It targets your abs, calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps, and can be done indoors or out. If you're looking for a fun winter date night that doesn't involve a movie, try ice skating--it's perfect for Valentine's Day!
When winter hits, many avid snowboarders hit the slopes as often as possible, which may mean they're skipping the gym. That doesn't mean they're missing out on a good workout. Snowboarding can burn anywhere from 250-630 calories per hour and help you improve your balance and core strength at the same time. (Snowboarders are known for having tight abs after all!)
Cross-country skiing is similar to snowshoeing in that it provides an intense cardio workout without stressing your joints. Burn 500 calories hour or more during a brisk cross-country ski excursion. You can ski almost anywhere you find enough snow: a trail, conservation area, local park, or even a farmer's field. This is also a great alternative to downhill skiing and provides more of an endurance workout because you don't have the downtime of riding back uphill between runs.
You've heard of basketball, softball and soccer leagues, but have you ever looked into an adult lessons or leagues for ice hockey? Hockey is a great aerobic workout that also improves coordination, and you're never too old to start! It you're looking for something challenging and more competitive than these other pursuits, ice hockey could be the winner for you.
Broomball is like the poor man's (or college student's) version of ice hockey. The rules of play are very similar, but people use "brooms" to hit a ball, and instead of wearing ice skates, they play in rubber-soled shoes. Broomball recreational leagues can be found almost anywhere you find ice hockey leagues.

Good article |
We have had a bunch of snow this year, so I have had my share of shoveling! My husband and I also decided to take a vacation to Keystone. I attempted to ski, without a lot of success. I wonder if repeatedly falling and getting back up burns more calories than regular downhill skiing...If so, I definitely burned my calories for that day! |
This winter was the first time I ever tried skiing, even though I have been living less than an hour away from many ski resorts. So much fun! I will definitely be going more often. |
well it doesn't snow here too much in the south Alabama area, (we did get 1 1/2 " last month!!) but good article and just getting out doors and walking lifts your spirits and helps burn calories!!! |
Spent 5 ours at Mt. Bachelor yesterday alpine skiing with my husband and 4 year old son. Beautiful sunny mountains everywhere. Ahhh, life is good. Playing in the snow in the winter makes it a wonderful time of year. |
Just arrived in Lake Tahoe and so this was perfect inspiration for exercise. Lots of snow I can shovel and maybe a little snow shoeing. |
Sorry, just not liking the cold weather anymore especially with fibromyalgia : ( |
Broomball: now there's a college sport for you! When I was an undergrad, this was "the" intramural sport to do. We used regular brooms and basketball knee pads. Anyone else old enough to remember those? We had fun, and got lots of bruised knees anyway. |
Hiking can be lots of fun and good for meditating!!! |
I could identify with the walking, and snow shoveling, but have never had the opportunity for cross country skiing, or other snow sports other than sledding and ice skating when I was much younger. Nice ideas. thanks |
I'm not much of a sports person and the outside winter activities don't appeal to me. But I am getting the shoveling down pat. We have had over 230" of snow this season - our average for this time of year is about 170" |
I love to snowshoe. Especially breaking new trails in the deep woods. I guarantee you burn more calories that way than on a trail. |
Nice! |
I wish I liked more winter outdoor activities... I really only like hiking, and you can only do that so many times. |
Great Information on calories spent doing these exercises. In WI I'd love to get out and do something - esp. today because the SUN is out! BUT I've been sick and without evergy since the beginning of Feb., which is very frustrating because I have no energy to do anyting! Hopefully this will pass soon so I can breath, once again be uncongested and feel like a human. EVERYONE keep up the good work!! |

Thought we should introduce ourselves!!
(34 Posts)Hi,
I'm lucky salem (name is from my 2 cats), I'm 23 and first child is due on 3rd Jan. I'm currently SAHM as my work sacked me in November.
Who's next?
Hi Lucky Salem and guess I should say congrats! What did you have and how was it?? Do love a good birth story
Am 30 with 2 ds's 23m and 5m so hands full!
I didn't even notice there was an answer on this! I really do wish it came up on the lists!!
I had a horrid birth, but beautiful little girl on the 16th January weighing 6lbs 2ozs.
We were having a homebirth and everything was good, I was fully dilated and been pushing for 1hr and half and then MW's said baby's head was wrong and I was then blue-lighted to the hospital (with me screaming in the back as they made me lie down and it hurt like hell if I lay down) where I had emergency C-Section. (sigh) Ahh well though she's here so I don't mind.
Where abouts in Wrexham are you TLT?
i'm dil77, i'm 30 with a 2 1/2 year old son
i'm currently battleing through the terrible 2's and losing!!
Hi dil!!!
Sorry to hear the terrible 2's are taking their toll.
Whereabouts are you in Wrexham?
hi luckysalem,
i'm in town centre,anyone else battling the 2's? does it ever end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only joking!! had a realy good trip to asda earlier!!
Nope - mines only 5 months old now. (well nearly 6) I'm not looking forward to the 2's as she's bad enough as it is. She definatly gets spoilt. lol
I'm in Caia Park
oo just around the corner from me then!! i'm on holt road.
you can't help but spoil them tho!! how come your job gave you the sack in november? i think the 2's are worse coz i work full time (4 and half days) and knackered most of the time!!!
I used to work in a mortgage company and you've seen how bad the rates etc have got at the moment so they weren't getting enough people in.
They accused me of bullying because I had sent a couple of emails to people complaining about how one of the employees was being favoured at the moment (had complained to bosses a couple of times and been ignored) and they took that as me bullying her and fired me citing gross misconduct!
I appealed and they said they'd pay my mat leave but at the end of it I wouldn't have a job. Which in all honesty i'm actually glad about as I wasn't planning on going back there.
I'm no good with roads (don't know which one is holt road) better with shops
Do you go to any baby clubs? or anything like that?
sounds like something good came out of something shit to me! glad it all worked out in the end tho!
holt road is the big road that goes up to the roundabout by tesco and asda! (now theres 2 shops you really cant miss!!
did go to a surestart group when j was few weeks old but the day it was on was the one day his dad deamed to visit him so only went a couple of times, not been able to go to any others coz i work in chester and there doesn't seem to be any groups on a friday afternoon or at the weekend so its a bit difficult! do try to take him out and about tho, he loves to go to loggerheads thinking he's got designs on becoming a mountain climber!!
how about you, any good baby groups out there?
I used to go to a babyclub on a tues (go when I need something now) but the HV's were so annoying that I stopped going.
I think I know where you mean now! lol
Yeh i'm glad I'm not working there now. I'm an Avon Rep now to try and get some money on the side.
Never been to loggerheads. Will have to look into it!
my friends doing that too, at least with the avon rep thing you can do it in your own time!! no one breathing down your neack to get things done by a certain time! lol
acton park is always a winner too!!
Will look at acton park - is that the place they are having the music in the park thingie cos if it is i've already been there.
not sure about the music thingy to be honest!!
I didn't go cos of the weather!
Am going to a fete by me tomorrow (don't think it'll be much but hey!)
oh i love the summer!!
loads of potential things to do, but the weather will always manage to get in the way lol!!!
how was the fete?
j spent all day saturday teaching my elderly neighbour the different farm animals he knows and how to build a ramp to race his cars on!!! sooo cute!! lol!!
hows your little one coming along?
enjoying your first summer?!!!
Didn't go to the fete cos DD fell off her changing mat and we had to go A&E then observe her for the day.
She's fine though.
glad to here DD's ok, the A&E visits have started then!!!
Yep was horrid. She screamed when she hit the floor which made me panic enough. Then I hugged her and calmed her down a little passed her to DP to go phone docs and find out what we do and he starts shouting down the stairs, she's falling asleep I can't get her to stay awake. More panicking. Running to the car. Car-ride takes FOREVER and barely keeping DD awake. Running into A&E - Evil stares from all the other mothers. By the end of it they were more worried about me!
She got a bit of a graze and a bruise but she's fine!
wouldn't worry too much about the evils from the other mothers, what where they doing in there!!!
DS fell down about 3 stairs this evening,scared me but he was fine,had to smack the stairs for being naughty, then he was fine! kinda got used to his bumps and scrapes now, still very scarry when it does happen.
A&E are great here, very understanding!

Kodak EasyShare D830 review
By Kathleen Cullen PC World | on May 01, 2010
Price: £111.61
Company: Kodak
Our Rating:
In its warm brown wooden frame, the Kodak EasyShare D830 digital photo frame easily blends in with any other frames arranged on your desk or coffee table.
With the Kodak EasyShare D830, however, Kodak has decided to allow you to replace the frame in the box with any picture frame you choose: simply pop out the D830, slip the new frame over it, and slide the toggles to hold it all together.
The Kodak EasyShare D830 has 512MB of internal memory and it accepts SD, SDHC, MMC, Memory Stick, MS Pro, MS Pro Duo, and xD cards, as well as USB. Simply plug in your card (or transfer photos to the frame from your PC) and the show begins. Images on the 800-by-600-pixel screen popped with vibrance and sharpness.
Like the Kodak EasyShare S730 frame, the Kodak EasyShare D830 will show pictures full-screen or create on-the-fly photo collages. It also has clock and calendar functions. Unlike its more modern cousin, however, this frame is strictly traditionalist: no video, no audio.
The Kodak EasyShare D830 is just as simple to use, though: You operate its menus through the touch border hidden within its faux mat. In addition, those hidden controls will glow once you get close enough to the frame's sensor - a neat (and helpful) trick.
But alas, you can't plug this frame into a wall somewhere, which relegates its good looks to a table or desk.
In its warm brown wooden frame, the Kodak EasyShare D830 digital photo frame easily blends in with any other frames arranged on your desk or coffee table.

W82TXT (Wait to Text) is a community awareness campaign to encourage drivers not to text while behind the wheel. Texting while driving is the most dangerous form of distracted driving. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says, drivers who text are six times more likely to cause an accident than intoxicated drivers. This scary statistic is perhaps because when texting, the driver's steering capability goes down 91%.
Crashes continue to be the leading killer of young people and according to studies, younger people are 23 times more likely to crash when texting and driving.
We have linked out to information you need to convince you to put down your phone whilst driving. An accident can happen in two to three seconds while texting.
We are not limited to any specific country. We know that people use SMS whilst driving world wide, and it's becoming a common issue on our roads.
If you would like to get involved, please contact us and reach out. We're open to showing off your company logo on this homepage to show off your support.
A news story about texting and driving created buzz in the past, but it wasn't good enough. We wanted to do something about it! We found thumb bands and had them inscribed with a slogan we created, W82TXT (Wait to Text).
All promotional materials are to spread the message across the world and recruited local and national celebrities to help. We also partnered with local businesses to hand them out. After just 4 months, we handed our 150,000 bands and had requests for thousands more.
When you share this website on Facebook, the awareness video displays. Please share to spread the word further, possibly even tag someone that you know uses the phone when driving.
There are many people behind this great cause and it has been started by many different companies in the past. The original campaign was launched in the USA with help from subway back in 2012. Today the website has been resurected from Australia.
Noise travels slowly and has finally reached our shored. The campaign is a second attempt at making a difference. Stop texting whilst driving!
Using the social media buttons below, you can go directly to the #WAIT2TXT hashtag feeds on Twitter and Google Plus. If you're not in a position to have your logo on the home page, then perhaps a simple share - free - is on the cards.
I admit to texting at traffic lights, however, I've noticed this is quite dangerous and you can easily roll into the person infront. It just takes a few seconds to die.
- Gary (Age 26)


text: Two examples of thank you cards I recently received in the mail. One handwritten card from the Nordstroms sales associate thanking me for buying two pairs of sunglasses, and one from tiny-but-awesome StickerGiant for placing a sticker order. Goes to show lots of companies, both big and small, see the value in personalized, handwritten thank you cards. Do you?

Jun 21, 2012 at 6:01 am #1291240
There are a couple of issues I am wrestling with regarding a two person shelter for reasonably exposed 3 season conditions and seek your thoughts. While much of my walking is solo, my partner does come along on some weekend trips where we use a REI Quarterdome. I am planning to take her on a 6 day walk in Tasmania this summer and hopefully other longer trips in the future so I want to cut a kilogram from the shelter to help compensate for having to carry most of food for both of us plus the shelter.
I continue to play with shelter ideas and after using a MLD Duo Grace tarp in cuben and a SMD Gatewood Cape with a Serenity net inner on several month long trips I decided I really prefer an enclosed shelter but I also felt that it needed to have a short ridge to improve roominess rather than rise to a peak like the Gatewood Cape. I have played with designs for several years and keep coming back to the basic shape of the SMD Haven or Suluk46 (Steve Evans) ALL-WET design (apologies to other manufacturers who may produce something similar).
The beauty of this shape is that the centre section for a 1 person shelter is about 600mm wide and 1200mm for a two person version. In 0.74 cuben this equates to a weight increase of about 75g in sizing up from a 1 person to a 2 person shelter. The SMD Haven comes in at 295g (10 oz) for two person and offers 2 entrances and plenty of room.
The same applies to an mesh inner (assume 1oz cuben floor with mesh or 8d canopy and mesh vertical sides/doors which I think I can build at a weight of 320-350g) which would reduce in weight by about 85g for a 1 person version. So this gives a weight increase of 160g for carrying a 2 person vs a 1 person shelter.
How do you see this? Would you just carry the 2 person even on solo trips or consider a 1 person inner to fit the 2 person tarp, or have a 1 person and a two person shelter?
My second dilemma is the construction of the roof section of the inner similar to the Haven net inner. I like the idea of using something like 8D/M50 for the roof and possibly the lower sections of the doors to minimise drafts and reduce condensation getting into the inner due to the DWR finish. There appears to be no weight penalty, if anything 8D appears slightly lighter than nanoseeum mesh but I don't read of anybody trying this. So are there issues I have not considered – either the fabric choice or other issue?
Over to you!
Jun 21, 2012 at 8:17 am #1888930Mark,
I too like the design you mentioned. I first saw a tent with this design in a sporting goods store in Vancouver BC in the early 1970s and have been making and buying tents with this design ever since.
I'd suggest making a two person first. I think you can get it down to the 2-3 lb range(tent, fly and poles) easily using the lightweight materials you are proposing. You can use it for 2 person or solo trips and then consider the 1 person options.
I'd give the Tarptent Scarp 2 a good look and then modify as you see fit from there. Using the Scarp 2 as a reference I would make one for my use that was smaller, had no carbon fiber struts on the ends, had lower ends, did not have end walls on the fly, did not have straps for winter pole use and had a cuben fly.
The Suluk 46 tent has two poles. My experience is that adding a cross piece is well worth the small extra weight. Steve at Suluk 46 was also considering the addition of a cross piece. I think the Scarp's hooped pole is the best option, however. Pole is easy to make and easy to replace and interferes less with entering and exiting the tent than a straight poles.
Best of luck.
Jun 21, 2012 at 8:18 am #1888931I am thinking of doing something similar and having had a goilite inner with noseeum had decided on using 8d.
Jun 21, 2012 at 4:04 pm #1889056I like the Haven style design as well. See this link on a MYOG design that I developed. I am still in design.
Regarding width: my calculations are that a foot of width adds 1oz (ie 12 square feet) on the fly using .75oz cuben, so I fully agree with going wider.
Regarding the inner net. The haven inner is 14oz, compared to only 10oz for the fly. The inner also reduces headroom and floor space. My recommendation is to go with perimeter netting and raise the fly six inches to minimize condensation. Attach polycryo to the netting for a ground sheet. This solution cuts the inner weight in half and solves your dilemma of having one person and two person inner nets. Finally, this eliminates the second zipper and entry point, making it easier to get in and out of the tent.
Here is a link to a similar thread from Daryl Clark. He has implemented what you are considering. Non coated inner net material seems to work well.
I am curious whether you are considering a cross bar. If not, how do you plan to secure the trekking poles?
Edit: more direct response to op
Jun 22, 2012 at 6:18 pm #1889379Thanks all for the feedback. I think I will buy a cuben Haven fly and build my own inner for it. I looked at building my own fly with a cost saving of around $150 but being time poor I think I will spend the dollars rather than the hours.
I am unsure how the poles are anchored at the top of the Haven but it should possible to add in a cross piece. I use Ti Goat poles and have worked out a simple way to connect them – it is just a matter of how this will fit into the peak of the Haven.
I will build my own 2 person inner using 1oz cuben for the floor, 8D for the roof and nanseeum for the doors but may make the bottom 30cm of the doors in 8D to minimise drafts and splash. This should weight 300g plus attachment elastic/cord etc. giving an all up weight of under 700g, This is comparable on a per person basis to a Hexamid and net inner combo, a combination I have been considering for solo use.

Great Delta Bear Affair
The Great Delta Bear Affair was first observed in 2002 on the 100th anniversary of President Theodore Roosevelt's famous bear hunt in Sharkey County, Mississippi which led to the creation of the Teddy Bear. This year's theme is "Baby Bear Blues." The festival will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 on the grounds of the Sharkey County courthouse in Rolling Fork. Events will begin at 7:30 a.m. and conclude with fireworks just after dark. Rolling Fork is located on Highway 61 approximately 40 miles south of Leland and 40 miles north of Vicksburg.
The festival also highlights our state's bountiful natural resources and commemorates Roosevelt's famous 1902 bear hunt. President Roosevelt and his savvy guide, Holt Collier, tromped through the woods of Sharkey County in search of bears. They found one, and the rest, as they say, is history. The Great Delta Bear Affair is one of the most unique festivals in the Delta.
Many people attend the annual festival each fall and enjoy many free seminars, special events and other various entertainments. At the Sharkey-Issaquena Library there will be storytelling with Doris Jones at 10:30 followed by a live snake presentation with Terry Vandeventer at 11:30 and then a seminar on black bear research at 1:30 with Stephanie Simek. Other events this year include a 5K Run/Walk at 8:00 a.m., a Teddy Bear Fun Run for ages 5 to 12 at 9:00 a.m. and the ever popular chainsaw woodcarving demonstrations throughout the day by Dayton Scoggins.
There will be Prehistoric Mound driving tours at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., which will begin at the U.S. Department of Agriculture building located on Frontage Road just off Highway 61. These tours will be led by Mr. Sam Brookes who is an archaeologist with the U.S. Forest Service.

Salvatore Nistico, 12 April 1948, Syracuse, New York, USA, d. 3 March 1991, Berne, Switzerland. Nistico started out on alto saxophone, later switching to tenor and joining an R&B band. In the late 50s he joined the Jazz Brothers, a band led by Gap and Chuck Mangione. In 1962 he became a member of the Woody Herman band, to which he returned frequently during the next two decades. Also in the 60s he spent some time in the band of Count Basie and early in the 70s he was with Don Ellis. In the next few years he worked with Buddy Rich and Slide Hampton, with whom he visited Europe. Eventually he settled in Europe, working there through the 80s. A bristling, aggressive player in the post-bop tradition, Nisticos live and recorded performances are filled with excitement and a vitality that made his sudden death in 1991 all the more tragic.

CT Colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy)
A CT scan is a test that combines X-rays and computer scans. A CT colonography is used to view the inside of your lower digestive tract (colon and rectum). It can help screen for colon cancer and for polyps (small growths in the colon that can become cancer). This test is sometimes called virtual colonoscopy. In some cases, this test may be done instead of regular colonoscopy for colon cancer screening. Both tests require a bowel prep, but regular colonoscopy also requires sedation. No sedation is needed for CT colonography. However, unlike regular colonoscopy, no biopsy or treatment can be done during the CT colonography. If a problem is found that needs further examination or treatment, a regular colonoscopy may be required.
Risks and possible complications of CT colonography
Exposure to radiation
Bowel perforation (hole) from gas pumped in through the rectum
Failure to detect small polyps
Before the test
Tell your doctor what medicine you take. This includes vitamins, herbs, and over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin. You may need to stop taking certain medicines before the test.
Your kidney function may be tested. This is to be sure your kidneys are working well. If they are not, this test may not be safe for you.
For the test, your rectum and colon must be empty of stool. You will be given bowel prep instructions. Follow these carefully. For up to
48 hours before the test, you may need to restrict what you eat and drink. You will also need to take pills or drink a liquid to cleanse your bowel of stool. -
Be sure to arrive on time at the facility. Bring your health insurance card. Leave valuables at home. Also, remove any metal piercings, such as a belly button ring or stud, before leaving home. Metal interferes with X-rays.
At the hospital, you will be asked to sign a consent form. You will change into a hospital gown.
Follow any instructions given by your doctor or the technologist.
Let the technologist know
For your safety, tell the technologist if you:
Have any known kidney problems
Have had a reaction to IV contrast in the past
Are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. The radiation from a CT scanner can harm an unborn child. If you think you may be pregnant, you should not have a CT colonography
Ate or drank anything before the test
Are currently being treated for or have any form of colitis or diverticulitis including Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
During the test
A CT colonography is done in a hospital or radiology center. The procedure itself takes less than
The technologist will have you lie on your back, on your side, or on your stomach on the exam table.
An IV line may be put into a vein in your arm or hand. This line gives you fluids and medicine. You may be given a medicine through the IV to help prevent cramping.
You may be given contrast fluid. This fluid helps the rectum and colon show up more clearly on the X-rays. The fluid may be put through the IV. You may drink the contrast. Or the contrast may be put directly into your rectum and colon. The technologist can tell you more about this.
A slender tube is put about 2 inches into your rectum. Carbon dioxide gas or room air is pumped through the tube. This inflates the colon enough so the CT scanner can have a better image of the inside of the colon. You may feel some discomfort and fullness from the gas.
The technologist will go into a separate room, but he or she will still be able to talk to you and hear you.
The exam table slides you into the CT scanner tunnel. The scanner takes X-rays of your body. You need to lie very still. You may be asked to hold your breath for a short time during the scan. This helps get the clearest picture.
The exam table then slides out of the tunnel.
Then you may be asked to lie on your stomach or on your side to repeat the procedure.
After the test
You can eat and drink normally as soon as the test is done.
You will likely pass a lot of gas after the procedure. This is normal.
When to call your health care provider
Call your doctor if you notice any of the following:
Fever of
100.4 °F (38.0 °C) or higher -
Fever (1°F above your normal temperature) lasting for 24 to 48 hours
Or, whatever your health care provider told you to report based on your medical condition
Pain in the lower abdomen that worsens or does not go away within
24 hours

Abstract | In this thesis, we discuss the possibility of exploring the statistical mechanics description of a black hole from the point view of supergravity. Specifically, we study five dimensional microstate geometries of a black hole or black ring. At first, we review the method to find the general three-charge BPS supergravity solutions proposed by Bena and Warner. By applying this method, we show the classical merger of a black ring and black hole in general are irreversible. On the other hand, we review the solutions on ambi-polar Gibbons-Hawking (GH) base which are bubbled geometries. There are many possible microstate geometries among the bubbled geometries. Particularly, we show that a generic blob of GH points that satisfy certain conditions can be either a microstate geometry of a black hole or black ring without horizon. Furthermore, using the result of the entropy analysis in classical merger as a guide, we show that one can have a merger of a black-hole blob and a black-ring blob or two black-ring blobs that corresponds to a classical irreversible merger. From the irreversible mergers, we find the scaling solutions and deep microstates which are microstate geometries of a black hole/ring with macroscopic horizon.; These solutions have the same AdS throats as classical black holes/rings but instead of having infinite throats, the throat is smoothly capped off at a very large depth with some local structure at the bottom. For solutions that produced from U(1) times U(1) invariant merger, the depth of the throat is limited by the flux quantization. The mass gap is related with the depth of this throat and we show the mass gap of these solutions roughly match with the mass gap of the typical conformal-field-theory (CFT) states. Therefore, based on AdS/CFT correspondence, they can be dual geometries of the typical CFT states that contribute to the entropy of a black hole/ring. On the other hand, we show that for the solutions produced from more general merger (without U(1) times U(1) invariance) the throat can be arbitrarily deep. This presents a puzzle from the point view of AdS/CFT correspondence. We propose that this puzzle may be solved by some quantization of the angle or promoting the flux vectors to quantum spins. Finally, we suggest some future directions of further study including the puzzle of arbitrary long AdS throat and a general coarse-graining picture of microstate geometries. |

The commission passed on a request by the Conservative Action Fund, a political action committee, to use the digital currency. That group had asked the FEC recently whether it could accept bitcoins, how it could spend them and how donors must report those contributions. It was not immediately clear whether the same ruling would apply to individual political candidates.
Bitcoin is a cybercurrency that is relatively anonymous and is created and exchanged independently of any government or bank. Some retailers accept it, and the currency can be converted into cash after being deposited into virtual wallets.
But the FEC isn't yet sold on allowing bitcoins to funnel into the bank accounts of political campaigns and outside groups supporting them, and commissioners deadlocked 3-3 along party lines Thursday.
FEC chairwoman Ellen Weintraub acknowledged that she had never heard of bitcoins until she saw the Conservative Action Fund's request. Weintraub, a Democrat, raised the prospect of anonymous or foreign bitcoin donations—both prohibited under federal law—flowing into campaigns and outside groups. But she suggested the FEC would revisit bitcoins at a later date.
Some commissioners who supported bitcoin donations said current regulations already allow for bitcoin transactions.
Fund lawyers had asked the FEC as early as this summer about the use of bitcoin in a changing campaign finance system.
"Notwithstanding the worth of an individual bitcoin, their general popularity is soaring," they said in a letter, noting the Libertarian Party and other state-level candidates already accept the currency.
Bitcoins have gained increased attention by the U.S. government, particularly how they can be used alongside of more traditional currency. At a hearing this week before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, federal officials told lawmakers that bitcoin and other companies should receive greater scrutiny from financial regulators and other authorities.
This is not the FEC's first time debating how modern technology can square with the country's decades-old campaign finance laws. Last summer, for instance, the commission approved the use of political contributions via cell phone text messages.

Acutally honey is very expensive here. I very seldom buy it. This sounds good though. I make a pork chop with a brown sugar rub, everyone loves them. I will have to try these and see if these go over just as well.
Spiking up your everyday cooking doesn't have to be difficult at all. It's the little things that make a really big difference. Even when you can't afford expensive foods like steak, seafood or brisket on a regular basis, you can still turn simple things into something really special. This easy and fast marinade turns a regular ole pork chop (or chicken) into something extraordinary.
I'm using my favorite boneless "cook for only a minute or two and they're done" kinda pork chops. Gotta love fast cooking! Pork really benefits from a little sweetness and honey benefits from a little thyme. You got yourself a classic win-win situation.
4 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp coarse mustard
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
pinch cayenne
1/2 tsp salt
Pour 4 tbsp honey in a bowl. This will be the basis of your marinade. I like how honey literally sticks to the meat. Now things tend to burn easy with honey in the marinade, but you'll be perfectly safe when you use pork chops that require very little cooking time or when you flatten the chicken before grilling it.
Add 1 tbsp orange juice (you can also use lemon juice), 1 tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp coarse mustard, 1/2 tsp salt and a small pinch of cayenne.
Beautiful, fragrant thyme. There's something comforting about the combination of honey, thyme and orange juice to me. Probably a scent I subconsciously associate with something from my childhood. Lemon thyme also works really well for this. Add as much thyme as you like. Just run your fingers down the stem from top to bottom to strip it.
Now whisk until you a have beautiful amber-colored syrup.
The pork chops! I always buy chops that still have a tiny bit of fat along the edge. It definitely adds to the flavor. Normally when you pierce meat with a fork you let its natural juices escape, but in this case I do pierce it here and there, not only to tenderize the meat but also to make sure the marinade seeps into the meat a little.
Cover the pork chops with a generous amount of marinade and sprinkle a little black pepper on top. Let the flavors incorporate for roughly 5 minutes. Just enough time to heat up the grill and set the table.
Get your grill as hot as you can, no need to oil it because there's oil in the marinade. Now place the meat on top. It should really sizzle.
Flip over the pork chops after a minute or two and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Don't overcook them! Nothing worse than overcooked pork chops.
I just love grill stripes, especially honey induced grill stripes look great. You know how this smells right now, don't you? Close your eyes and envision it! Nah, that's mean.
The juices that ooze out are infused with sweet honey and thyme, creating the most perfect gravy. It doesn't need anything else. Serve with a few thyme sprigs on top and you're done.
These are so good and so quick! If you'll excuse me, I really have to go sink my teeth into one of these before it gets cold :)
Acutally honey is very expensive here. I very seldom buy it. This sounds good though. I make a pork chop with a brown sugar rub, everyone loves them. I will have to try these and see if these go over just as well.
Those pork chops look perfectly golden brown and good!
Mmmmm … these look great, and easy too!
These look great. I'm usually a lemon-thyme girl, but I'm definitely going to try the honey. The man loves pork, and I don't cook it for him enough. I'll give this one a whirl very soon.
These look heavenly! I have been wanting to make pork chops but have not found an appealing idea for cooking them. Pork chops on are the menu for this week now : )
I've got a couple of those skinny pork chops in my freezer just waiting for this marinade! Dinner for Monday: Done.
Thanks… great post and great photographs!
I am lucky. My bestest friend has bees and I have an unending source of honey. Wish you also had a link to a printable recipe! just saying..
I love this recipe, but of course I can't help myself tweaking it a little. And I think I tweaked this one . . . a lot. I added a LOT of balsamic vinegar in lieu of the juice. It came out BEAUTIFULLY! Thanks for the inspiration!
Just out of curiosity, your ingredients call for 1/4 tsp. of garlic powder, but in the recipe itself you call for 1/8 tsp. Which did you mean?
Looking forward to trying this recipe! I never can figure out what to do with pork.
I love your website Kay! thank you for taking the time to create it. Photos are great. Food looks yummy.
These were so good! I don't have a grill, so I pan fried them. The chops turned out so beautifully golden, very juicy. The flavors were light and sweet and absolutley delicious. I added extra garlic powder because I love garlic. I served the chops with rice, steamed broccoli, and a beet salad (with onion, browned garlic, and tomato-basil feta crumbles). So delicious! Thank you Kay!
Ik heb deze een tijdje geleden gemaakt en ze waren erg goed! Lekker gecarameliseerd tintje van de honing, zalig!
This recipe was amazing! My dad is a very good chef, and so I always feel the pressure to try and make the perfect meal on the rare occasion when he relinques the kitchen. And this meal definitally was perfect.
He tasted it and grudgingly agreed it was completely delicious. ;)
He then made me make up the other five pork chops with it, while he pretended not to watch what ingredients I was using. :)
Thanks! Totally delicious! :D
Was just looking for a chops recipe and found this. Making it tonight! Thanks :)
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your blog? My website is in the exact same niche as yours and my visitors would definitely benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Appreciate it!
I've never had pork chops. This recipe looked so yummy! Now I love pork chops. And this recipe. *drool* Totally recommended for picky eaters!
Saw this recipe and made it tonigh. We used our cast iron grill pan, didn't add any oil like you said. They stuck to the pan and it got really smokey in our kitchen. unfortunately it was -6 degrees out so when we opened the windows it was extremely cold in the house. all in all the chops are amazing !! Thanks for the recipe
These were so delicious! Hubby said more salt next time though. ; )

We won 1-0 here before and it would have been 2-0 had it not been for Dravid's slight negativity. Honestly, the famed Indian batting line up was the best in the world and they dealt with the bounce and fast bowling in Aus in their prime.
The last two heavy losses in England and Australia are hard to explain but I think we are getting back on track. We were no where playing our best for a variety of reasons. If so, it wouldn't have been easy.
We are rebuilding but I am sure we will once again be the best batting side.

A global lesson in market failure
TheGlobeandMail.com – commentary – A global lesson in market failure
July 7, 2008. JOSEPH STIGLITZ
The world has not been kind to neo-liberalism, that grab bag of ideas based on the fundamentalist notion that markets are self-correcting, allocate resources efficiently and serve the public interest well. It was this market fundamentalism that underlay Thatcherism, Reaganomics and the so-called "Washington Consensus" in favour of privatization, liberalization and independent central banks focusing single-mindedly on inflation.
For a quarter-century, there has been a contest among developing countries, and the losers are clear: Countries that pursued neo-liberal policies not only lost the growth sweepstakes; when they did grow, the benefits accrued disproportionately to those at the top.
Although neo-liberals do not want to admit it, their ideology also failed another test. No one can claim that financial markets did a stellar job in allocating resources in the late 1990s, with 97 per cent of investments in fibre optics taking years to see any light. But at least that mistake had an unintended benefit: As costs of communication were driven down, India and China became more integrated into the global economy.
But it is hard to see such benefits to the massive misallocation of resources to housing in the United States. The newly constructed homes built for families that could not afford them get trashed and gutted as millions of families are forced out of their homes. In some communities, government has finally stepped in – to remove the remains. In others, the blight spreads. So even those who have been model citizens, borrowing prudently and maintaining their homes, now find that markets have driven down the value of their homes beyond their worst nightmares.
To be sure, there were some short-term benefits from the excess investment in real estate: Some Americans (perhaps only for a few months) enjoyed the pleasures of home ownership and living in a bigger home than they otherwise would have. But at what a cost to themselves and the world economy! Millions will lose their life savings as they lose their homes. And the housing foreclosures have precipitated a global slowdown. There is an increasing consensus on the prognosis: This downturn will be prolonged and widespread.
Nor did markets prepare us well for soaring oil and food prices. Neither sector is an example of free-market economics, but that is partly the point: Free-market rhetoric has been used selectively – embraced when it serves special interests; discarded when it does not.
Perhaps one of the few virtues of George W. Bush's administration is that the gap between rhetoric and reality is narrower than it was under Ronald Reagan. For all Mr. Reagan's free-trade rhetoric, he freely imposed trade restrictions, including the notorious "voluntary" export restraints on automobiles.
Mr. Bush's policies have been worse, but the extent to which he has openly served America's military-industrial complex has been more naked. The only time that the Bush administration turned green was when it came to ethanol subsidies, whose environmental benefits are dubious. Distortions in the energy market (especially through the tax system) continue, and if Mr. Bush could have gotten away with it, matters would have been worse.
This mixture of free-market rhetoric and government intervention has worked particularly badly for developing countries. They were told to stop intervening in agriculture, thereby exposing their farmers to devastating competition from the United States and Europe. Their farmers might have been able to compete with American and European farmers, but they could not compete with American and European Union subsidies. Not surprisingly, investments in agriculture in developing countries faded, and a food gap widened.
Those who promulgated this mistaken advice do not have to worry about carrying malpractice insurance. The costs will be borne by those in developing countries, especially the poor. This year will see a large rise in poverty, especially if we measure it correctly.
Simply put, in a world of plenty, millions in the developing world still cannot afford minimum nutritional requirements. In many countries, increases in food and energy prices will have a particularly devastating effect on the poor, because they constitute a larger share of their expenditures.
The anger around the world is palpable. Speculators, not surprisingly, have borne more than a little of the wrath. The speculators argue: We are not the cause of the problem; we are simply engaged in "price discovery." In other words, discovering – a little late to do much about the problem this year – that there is scarcity.
But that answer is disingenuous. Expectations of rising and volatile prices encourage hundreds of millions of farmers to take precautions. They might make more money if they hoard a little of their grain today and sell it later; and if they do not, they won't be able to afford it if next year's crop is smaller than hoped. A little grain taken off the market by hundreds of millions of farmers around the world adds up.
Defenders of market fundamentalism want to shift the blame from market failure to government failure. One senior Chinese official was quoted as saying that the problem was that the U.S. government should have done more to help low-income Americans with their housing. I agree. But that does not change the facts: U.S. banks mismanaged risk on a colossal scale, with global consequences, while those running these institutions have walked away with billions of dollars in compensation.
Today, there is a mismatch between social and private returns. Unless they are closely aligned, the market system cannot work well.
Neo-liberal market fundamentalism was always a political doctrine serving certain interests. It was never supported by economic theory. Nor, it should now be clear, is it supported by historical experience. Learning this lesson may be the silver lining in the cloud now hanging over the global economy.

just got y hd600 today! woooo! exactly what I've been looking for!! I'm so glad i didn't get the hd650. Not that they would be bad, but these are bassy enough and I wouldn't want to lose the incredible treble performance even a bit. the only downfall is that they are really really really "open" headphones. I was shocked the first time i put them on. They block zero, and i mean zero sound. I wouldn't know they were on if i didn't feel them. Oh well. But otherwise, yes yes yes... Yes.
