Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the latest operating system and Windows makeover, were released in fall 2012. For programmers, many new APIs were included in the features added. Several of the new features focus on the venerable sockets interface, the basic network paradigm first introduced in Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) UNIX in the early 1980s. Sockets still form the basis for networking on all of the major platforms including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
You might want to consider these new Windows socket APIs for your next project when writing new apps or refactoring older applications for Windows. New Windows 8 features for sockets programming are found at both ends of the network spectrum:
- Window Runtime (WinRT) sockets: Used for low-level networking in Windows Store apps.
- High-performance sockets: Used in writing network servers for desktop apps that need low network latency and the highest performance.
- WebSockets: The other new networking APIs are socket-related, at least in name; these are extensions to the HTTP protocols for the creation of a special Web socket that is fully bidirectional once the connection is established, either endpoint can initiate or send packets.
Herein I provide a brief introduction to these new networking socket features available on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. The focus will be more on WinRT sockets, since these will appeal to a larger set of developers.
Sockets and Windows
The original Berkeley socket implementation developed in 1983 was very simple, based on the design of UNIX file I/O. A network socket became a special type of file handle. BSD networking functions were basic:
socket (open or create),
connect (for TCP),
recv, and
close. Several types of sockets were supported including TCP (stream), UDP (datagram), and later UNIX domain sockets. For TCP servers and applications receiving UDP packets, the
bind and
listen functions would bind to a network address and listen for incoming packets. For use with UDP, there were the
sendto and
recvfrom functions. A few other functions were provided for getting and setting socket options, getting a host by name or address; and there were the
select and
poll functions to check on the state of a socket.
With the adoption of Windows Sockets (Winsock) in 1993, Microsoft added support for sockets to Windows. The initial Winsock 1.1 API was relatively modest with calls similar to BSD UNIX plus a number of Windows-specific extension functions. Over time, the Winsock API has grown larger and larger. The current reference documentation for Windows Sockets for desktop apps lists more than 140 functions and 80 structures along with several hundred IOCTLS and socket options. This doesn't include functions used by the Winsock Service Provider Interface (SPI). The existing Winsock API has become very large, complex, and challenging for new users.
The new socket APIs introduced with Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 provide much simpler, stripped-down APIs for sockets programming closer to the spirit of the original BSD sockets.
Windows 8: Two for the Money
Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 introduce a new graphical user interface (GUI) that represents a major redesign of the Windows user experience. The changes are targeted primarily for touch-enabled devices, with tiles used to represent apps and new system navigation features (charms, settings, etc.). On traditional Intel/AMD x86/x64 hardware, Windows 8 can be thought of as an operating system for two different types of apps:
- Windows Store apps: New apps that run on Windows 8 only. These apps are limited to using the WinRT APIs and a few other APIs (some classes from the .NET framework along with a few desktop functions) that are exposed for use by Windows Store apps.
- Windows desktop apps: Traditional Windows apps that provide developers access to all of the Windows APIs except the WinRT APIs (unless the WinRT class has a special
DualApiPartitionAttribute). These represent the traditional applications that ran on Windows 7 and older versions of the OS. If you use new Windows 8 desktop APIs, then the app will only be able to run on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 or later versions.
On ARM-based hardware (in the original Microsoft Surface tablet, for example), Windows 8 has been stripped down so only Windows Store apps can be installed and used. Windows 8 apps using WinRT are installed by purchasing and downloading them from the Microsoft App Store (many apps are free). Windows and app upgrades are also downloaded and installed from the Microsoft Store. Sideloading apps on these WinRT-based devices is mostly restricted, except when Visual Studio 2012 is installed. Sideloading allows developers to test apps they write before submitting them for publication on the Windows App Store.
(Note: The Windows App Store is not the Microsoft.com online store that sells versions of Windows, Office, other Microsoft software, and some hardware. There is also a separate Windows Phone App Store for purchasing and downloading apps for Windows phones.)
Windows Runtime and Sockets
The WinRT APIs used by Windows Store apps provide a set of managed APIs that are designed for several different languages and presentation schemes:
- JavaScript with HTML: Designed to appeal to traditional Web developers.
- C#/VB.NET with XAML: Designed for existing C#/VB.NET developers and others using managed code (Java developers).
- C++ with XAML: Designed for core C++ desktop and COM developers as well as others using similar languages (Objective-C developers).
Developers are free to choose whatever language and presentation they prefer. In fact, the same app can be written in any of these languages. Microsoft provides downloadable samples for Windows Store apps, many of which are implemented in multiple languages for illustration. For example, the downloadable StreamSocket sample and the DatagramSocket sample are implemented in all three language combinations.

text: Hernan, LLC was founded in 2007 by Isela Hernandez. Originally from Del Rio, Texas, Isela grew up in the small town along the US-Mexico border, just minutes away from Cuidad Acuña, Coahuila. She was raised in the best of both worlds, exploring the opportunities of the US while remaining closely connected to Mexico's rich culture. The idea for Hernan developed after a trip to Guerrero, Coahuila. During this trip, while contemplating the vast Mexican landscape, Isela decided to use her experience as a merchant to start a business with socially responsible underpinnings that would capitalize on the popularity of Mexican cuisine and culture.

Mercedes-Benz SLK320 EGR Valve Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is an EGR valve?
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve recirculates a portion of the exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber in order to lower the combustion temperature, which helps your vehicle produce fewer oxides of nitrogen, a major pollutant.
How does the EGR valve work?
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is computer controlled and/or electrically or vacuum operated. The valve is commanded open at the appropriate time to also the proper amount of exhaust gas to enter the combustion chamber. This exhaust gas lowers the combustion temperature, reducing the amount of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) created during the combustion process.
What are the symptoms related to a bad EGR valve?
In many cases you would be able drive the vehicle with a failed Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. However, in some cases the engine may run so poorly you cannot drive the vehicle. A non functioning EGR Valve can result in a pinging or rattling noise from engine when it is under load (when accelerating).
Can I drive with a bad EGR valve?
In many cases you would be able drive the vehicle with a failed Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. However, sometimes the engine may run so poorly you cannot drive the vehicle. If you are hearing a ping or rattling type noise from the engine you should not drive the vehicle.
How often do EGR valves need to be replaced?
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve replacement is one ot the less common repairs you should expect. Vehicles that are only driven around town on short trips may be more prone to Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve problems as this kind of driving can allow the buildup of carbon deposits in and around the EGR valve. These carbon deposits can restrict the flow of exhaust gases and/or cause the valve to stick open.
How are EGR valve issues diagnosed?
An illuminated check engine light could lead to a fault code indicating a problem with the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. In this case, the manufacturer suggested diagnostic procedures should be followed to isolate the cause. Removal of the valve may be required for a visual and functional inspections.
EGR Valve Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for an EGR Valve Replacement is between $326 and $384 but can vary from car to car.
How is a EGR valve replaced?
Once the valve is located and made accessible (on some models this can be very easy and on others it can be quite a challenge), relacement commonly involves unbolting the old valve and installing the new one. Rust can develop on the mounting nuts/bolts so penetrating oil should be used prior to attempting removal. Care should be taken around hot exhaust components. While the valve is off, it is a good time to check the be sure the EGR passages are clear.
RepairPal Recommendations for EGR valve issues
Always take care when working around hot exhaust system components and use penetrating oil before removing rusty nuts/bolts. EGR passages should be inspected while the valve is of to be sure they are clear of carbon buildup. When replacing the EGR valve, Vacuum hoses and or electrical connectors attached to it should be inspected and repaired or replaced as necessary.
What to look out for when dealing with EGR valve issues
Care should be taken when working around hot exhaust system components. EGR passages should be checked for carbon deposits whenever possible and cleaned as necessary during valve replacement. Rust can develop on mounting nuts/bolts, penetrating should be used prior to removal.
Can I replace the EGR valve myself?
The location of the EGR valve will most likely to determine if the is a DIY project or not. In some cases removal of additional components will be necessary to gain access to the valve, for testing as well as replacement. You will need to determine if you are up to the task or not. Certain models may also require special tools to remove nuts/bolts securing the valve.

Postseason honors are few and far between for the Washington Nationals this season, but over at MLB.com, you can submit your vote today for two Nationals nominees for the 2009 This Year In Baseball awards.
Ryan Zimmerman's nomination as 2009 Defensive Player of the Year will come as no surprise to Nationals fans; but the more dubious nomination comes in the "2009 Oddity of the Year" category, where among the choices is the July 31 take-down of Teddy Roosevelt by the Pittsburgh Racing Pierogies at Pittsburgh's PNC Park.
Teddy was running anchor in a 4-team mascot relay race, when racing pierogie Potato Pete, who had not been participating in the race, entered the field and tackled Teddy to the ground.
On that evening's ESPN Sportscenter, Scott Van Pelt called the incident "the greatest highlight I've ever seen", and was likely the main reason this blog had it's highest single traffic day ever:
Cast your votes now through December 11. Multiple votes are allowed.

"You're being reborn," the voice says. "Exiting the womb of your mother. Coming into the earth as a small baby. Everything is new." It is a Saturday morning in mid-March, and right now I'm lying on a yoga mat in a lodge in Ohio, surrounded by fifty other men who've come to the Midwest for a weekend of manhood-confirming adventures. The voice in question belongs to Aaron Blaine, a facilitator for Evryman, the men's group orchestrating this three-day retreat. All around me, men are shedding tears as Blaine leads us on a guided meditation, a kind of archetypal montage of Norman Rockwell boyhood. "You're starting to figure things out," he says, in somniferous baritone. "Snow, for the first time. Sunshine. Start to notice the smells, the tastes, the confusion. The fear. And you're growing. You're about ten years old. The world's huge and scary."
Even though it's only the second day of the Evryman retreat, it's worth noting that I've already been the subject of light fraternal teasing. Already I've been the recipient of countless unsought hugs. Already I have sat in Large Groups and Small Groups, and watched dozens of middle-aged men weep with shame and contrition. I've had a guy in the military tell me he wants to be "a rock for his family." I've heard a guy from Ohio say that his beard "means something." Twice I've hiked through the woods to "reconnect with Mother Nature," and I have been addressed by numerous men as both "dude" and "brother." I have performed yoga and yard drills and morning calisthenics. I've heard seven different men play acoustic guitar. I've heard a man describe his father by saying, "There wasn't a lot of ball-tossing when I was growing up." Three times I've been queried about how I'm "processing everything," and at the urinal on Friday night, two men warned me about the upcoming "Anger Ceremony," which is rumored to be the weekend's "pièce de résistance."
The WASP story is personal for me. I arrived at Yale in 1971 from a thoroughly mediocre suburb in New Jersey, the second-generation hybrid of Irish and Italian stock riding the postwar boom. Those sockless people in Top-Siders, whose ancestors' names and portraits adorned the walls, were entirely new to me. I made friends with some, but I was not free of a corrosive envy of their habitus of ease and entitlement.
I used to visit one of those friends in the Hamptons, in the 1970s, when the area was about wood-paneled Ford station wagons, not Lamborghinis. There was some money in the family, but not gobs, yet they lived two blocks from the beach—prime real estate. Now, down the road from what used to be their house is the residence of Ira Rennert. It's one of the largest private homes in the United States. The union-busting, pension-fund-looting Rennert, whose wealth comes from, among other things, chemical companies that are some of the worst polluters in the country, made his first money in the 1980s as a cog in Michael Milken's junk-bond machine. In 2015, a court ordered him to return $215 million he had appropriated from one of his companies to pay for the house. One-hundred-car garages and twenty-one (or maybe twenty-nine) bedrooms don't come cheap.
I slept for a good seven hours on the overnight flight from Spain to Peru, and while I slept I dreamed that I was leading American visitors around a park in Berlin, looking for birds on a hazy, overcast day. There wasn't much to see until we noticed a distant commotion in the sky. Large raptors were panicking, driven back and forth by something threatening them from above. The commotion moved closer. The clouds parted, an oval aperture backed with blue. In it two seraphim hovered motionless. "Those are angels," I told the group.
They were between us and the sun, but an easy I.D. Size aside, no other European bird has two sets of wings. The upper wings cast their faces into shadow. Despite the glare I could make out their striking peaches-and-cream coloration. Ivory white predominates, hair a faint yellow, eyes blue, wings indescribably iridescent. Faces blank and expressionless, as with all birds.
Last May, the families of students at Cypress Academy, an independent charter school in New Orleans, received an email announcing that the school would close when classes ended the following week and that all its students would be transferred to another nearby charter for the upcoming year. Parents would have the option of entering their children in the city's charter-enrollment lottery, but the lottery's first round had already taken place, and the most desirable spots for the fall were filled.
Founded in 2015, a decade after New Orleans became the nation's first city to begin replacing all its public schools with charters, Cypress was something of a rarity. Like about nine in ten of the city's charter schools, it filled spaces by lottery rather than by selective admission. But while most of the nonselective schools in New Orleans had majority populations of low-income African-American students, Cypress mirrored the city's demographics, drawing the children of professionals—African-American and white alike—as well as poorer students. Cypress reserved 20 percent of its seats for children with reading difficulties, and it offered a progressive education model, including "learning by doing," rather than the strict conduct codes that dominated the city's nonselective schools. In just three years, the school had outperformed many established charters—a particular feat given that one in four Cypress students had a disability, double the New Orleans average. Families flocked to Cypress, especially ones with children who had disabilities.

At Ivanwald, men learn to be leaders by loving their leaders. "They're so busy loving us," a brother once explained to me, "but who's loving them?" We were. The brothers each paid $400 per month for room and board, but we were also the caretakers of The Cedars, cleaning its gutters, mowing its lawns, whacking weeds and blowing leaves and sanding. And we were called to serve on Tuesday mornings, when The Cedars hosted a regular prayer breakfast typically presided over by Ed Meese, the former attorney general. Each week the breakfast brought together a rotating group of ambassadors, businessmen, and American politicians. Three of Ivanwald's brothers also attended, wearing crisp shirts starched just for the occasion; one would sit at the table while the other two poured coffee.

Asthma symptoms may differ somewhat in adults and children. In addition, severity and duration of symptoms vary from mild to severe.
Common asthma symptoms include:
- Cough
- Tightness in the chest
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Difficulty during feeding in infants
- Trouble sleeping
- Limited exercise tolerance or avoiding exercise or sports
There are warning signs that signal an impending asthma attack. By learning to recognize these early symptoms as warning signs, you can help prevent attacks or reduce their severity.
- Increased shortness of breath and wheezing
- Chest tightness or pain
- Sweating
- An increased need to use bronchodilators
- A whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling
- Frequent coughing or cough spasms
- Waking up coughing in the night
- Shortness of breath while stationery or exercising
- Feelings of tightness in the chest
- Restless sleep patterns
- Trouble feeding
Exposure to asthma triggers can cause airways to contract and become inflamed, narrowed, and clogged with mucus. Less room is available for air to flow in and out of the lungs. The duration of the asthma attack varies. Attacks range from mild to severe and last anywhere from a few minutes to several days. During attacks, bronchial muscles go into spasm, causing air to be trapped in tiny air breathing sacs in the lungs, called alveoli. Asthma attacks may be fatal if not identified and treated.

Am I the only one who can't ever get this right?
Now here's one of the best explanations I have found and I'm posting it here so that I can find it again. Courtesy of Dictionary.com:
Lay 1 and lie 2 are often confused. Lay is most commonly a transitive verb and takes an object. Its forms are regular. If "place" or "put" can be substituted in a sentence, a form of lay is called for: Lay the folders on the desk. The mason is laying brick. She laid the baby in the crib. Lay also has many intransitive senses, among them "to lay eggs" ( The hens have stopped laying ), and it forms many phrasal verbs, such as lay off "to dismiss (from employment)" or "to stop annoying or teasing" and lay over "to make a stop."
Lie, with the overall senses "to be in a horizontal position, recline" and "to rest, remain, be situated, etc.," is intransitive and takes no object. Its forms are irregular; its past tense form is identical with the present tense or infinitive form of lay : Lie down, children. Abandoned cars were lying along the road. The dog lay in the shade and watched the kittens play. The folders have lain on the desk since yesterday.
In all but the most careful, formal speech, forms of lay are commonly heard in senses normally associated with lie. In edited written English such uses of lay are rare and are usually considered nonstandard: Lay down, children. The dog laid in the shade. Abandoned cars were laying along the road. The folders have laid on the desk since yesterday.

1 Driver Side Carbon Fiber Door Shell and 1 Passenger Side Carbon Fiber Door Shell Included.
AIT Racing started in the summer of 2002 in California near Los Angeles. The company is dedicated to manufacturing car body kits in carbon fiber and fiberglass reinforced plastic. They have designed and engineered these parts to look great in shows and in racing situations. Whether you buy an entire kit for your car or you buy a few parts, your car will look great in an AIT Racing products. What they design are made of the highest quality and they fit tightly.AIT Racing creates all of their carbon fiber products with a procedure called Vacuum Infusion Process. Other manufacturers use a hand-crafted procedure to make their carbon fiber products. The AIT Racing manufacturing includes their resin infusion work that uses their fiber laminate into a mold with vacuum pressure. This makes the carbon fiber product extremely strong. Vacuum infusion results in a better quality product with fewer deformities and other flaws. It also keeps the products consistently thick. The laminated product is significantly lighter than the hand-crafted laminated products. In order to prove they do use a vacuum process, AIT Racing provides pictures of the entire process.

Whilst I can't claim this to be comprehensive in any way, it should give a shooting novice some idea of the terms used. It is good form to know the terminology if you are going on a shoot, as novices will be easily spotted if they fail to understand the phrases and words used.
All Out! – What beaters call at the end of a drive
Bag – Game killed that day
Beaters/Drivers – They flush out the game by 'beating' the ground
Couple – Wild ducks are counted by the couple
Covert – A wood (silent 't')
Covey – A group of grouse or partridge
Drive – Each sweep taken up during a day's shooting
Gun – This doesn't just refer to the actual firearm but the person shooting it, as well
Hill – A Scottish moor
Loaders – They load guns
Peg/Stand – Where the guns are located (although for grouse shoots it is called the 'butt' and for duck shoots the 'hide')
Wisp – A group of snipe

Newly proposed legislation in Congress would ban recipients of food stamps from buying junk food.
The Hill reports that a bill proposed by Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., would require food stamp recipients to purchase only healthy food.
The Healthy Food Choices Act, H.R. 3073 is the latest salvo from Republican members of Congress who have criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps or the Women, Infants and Children program (WIC).
In August, it was reported that House Republicans hoped to cut some $40 billion from future SNAP budgets.
Roe's legislation is specifically in response to a 2012 study, which showed that recipients from the food stamp fund spend approximately $2 billion a year on junk food.
"As a physician, I realize the importance of healthy eating, and as an obstetrician, I've seen how the WIC program helps empower families receiving assistance to use taxpayer dollars to purchase healthy, wholesome foods," Roe said in a statement published on his congressional site. "If these guidelines are good and healthy enough for women and children, then SNAP recipients should also benefit from adhering to the same standards."
In June, Roe voted in favor of proposed legislation that would apply work to welfare standards to food stamp fund recipients.
Critics of Roe's proposal say that the tighter nutritional requirements would actually be more of a burden for low-income individuals and families who rely on SNAP funds. They also point out that Roe previously opposed efforts by first lady Michelle Obama to improve national school lunch nutritional standards.
Roe's bill would require SNAP food purchases to adhere to the same nutritional guidelines required under the WIC program. But some critics have said that even WIC's requirements are not based on science and need fine-tuning to ensure they are nutritionally sound.
Still, Roe said his intention is to improve the health of SNAP recipients by helping to ensure that they eat more nutritious meals with their funds.
"Already states like Wisconsin and South Carolina have shown interest in improving the healthfulness of choices in their SNAP programs," Roe said. "By giving SNAP recipients more nutritious choices, we can take a meaningful step towards ending hunger in America."

Been hearing the buzz about the amazing ingredient that is tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and want to know more? You've come to the right place! Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is a form of vitamin C which been modified to be more lipid soluble. This modification allows it to better penetrate the skin.
The problem with most topical forms of vitamin C is they're water soluble and can't make it through the lipid-rich skin barrier to reach the dermis of skin where they could have maximal benefits. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is able to successfully penetrate the epidermis and move to the layer underneath called the dermis. It's in the dermis that collagen, a protein that gives skin its youthful firmness and ability to resist wrinkles, is made.
Using tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate means your skin benefits more from the use of vitamin C products being used on your skin.
Why Do I Need The Vitamin C from Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate?
Vitamin C has a variety of benefits for health and for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. It functions as an antioxidant, helping to offset oxidative damage that degrades collagen and leads to wrinkles and saggy skin.
When skin is exposed to ultraviolet light from the sun, a sequence of events occurs that leads to free radical production. These free radicals damage skin cell membranes and activate enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, two most important proteins that keep skin firm and youthful. Vitamin C has the ability to donate electrons to free radicals so they aren't as damaging to cellular structures.
Vitamin C isn't a substitute for sunscreen, but it does provide extra protection against oxidative damage that can lead to premature aging and skin cancer.
Another benefit of vitamin C is it stimulates collagen production. Since collagen provides skin with the support it needs to stay firm and youthful, this helps to reduce wrinkles and skin sagging.
A study published in the Archives of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery found that participants who used topical vitamin C for three months experienced a decrease in fine lines and wrinkles and an improvement in skin texture. This was confirmed by a similar study published in the journal Dermatologic Surgery.
Topical vitamin C also appears to be effective for lightening excessive skin pigmentation and improving the appearance of stretch marks. It also reduces redness and inflammation after laser surgery.
Despite the benefits of vitamin C, it has drawbacks. Some forms can't penetrate the epidermis and reach the dermis where it can stimulate collagen production. Plus, vitamin C is unstable and loses its effectiveness quickly, especially if exposed to air or light. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is more stable than other vitamin C preparations, and is lipid-soluble, which allows it to reach the dermis of the skin where it can stimulate collagen production.
Most vitamin C preparations remain on the surface of the skin where they guard against oxidative damage but have little effect on collagen production.
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is able to move into the dermis where it can offer additional anti-aging benefits by stimulating collagen production. It also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans, compounds present naturally in skin that bind and hold on to water. Levels of glycosaminoglycans decline with age and may account for some of the skin changes that occur as skin matures.
Is tetrahexydecyl sulfate safe?
Like most forms of vitamin C, tetrahexyldecyl sulfate is safe. The Environmental Working Group classifies it as a low hazard cosmetic ingredient. Most forms of topical vitamin C cause skin irritation and redness, but tetrahexyldecyl sulfate is less irritating than other forms, although people with sensitive skin may experience mild burning and irritation.
Some manufacturers of cosmetic and skin care products add tetrahexyldecyl sulfate to their products due to its antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. Some types of products that contain this ingredient include facial moisturizers, eye creams, sunscreens, lip gloss, foundation and anti-aging products of all types. It's often combined with other antioxidants like vitamin E, retinols or peptides for additional anti-aging benefits.
All in all, tetrahexyldecyl sulfate is a form of vitamin C that's more stable and better able to penetrate skin to reach the dermis. By reaching the dermis, it can stimulate collagen production to help give skin greater firmness and resiliency. In addition, it helps to protect against damage due to sun exposure, lighten pigmented areas, treat stretch marks and improve skin texture. It does this safely and with minimal skin irritation.

Libraries are raising the question of what services they should provide to users and what role libraries can play in providing bibliographic access without diminishing the value of the catalog. This presentation will contribute to this discussion by revisiting the question of the cataloging standards, and offering alternative approaches and ideas to cataloging. It will discuss innovative staffing solutions that can reduce the cost of cataloging and help overcome the problem of staffing and staff training.

Exhibition "The Cauchie House and the poster-facade" at the Archive of Modern Architecture in Brussels - from 22 June to 25 October 2009
From summer 2009, an exhibition will focus on the "poster-facade" topic around the Cauchie House, undeniable masterpiece of Art Nouveau in Brussels. "poster-facade" means a facade expressing a cultural, philosophical, commercial message…, independant from the building behind, such as the newspaper La Dépęche du Midi by Léon Jaussely in Toulouse or, more recently, Le Monde in Paris. In Brussels, the facade of the Cauchie House is the most striking example of poster-facade; it here expresses the desire to draw the attention of passer-bys and invite to know more about the art of the owner, an artist- designer who specialized in architectural sgraffito. The exhibition will compare the Cauchie House facade to other facades in Europe. Exhibition organized by the Archive of Modern Architecture in association with the Cauchie House Association.

Exhibition dedicated to the listed buildings of the city of Ålesund at the Jugendstilsenteret
The reconstruction of the town centre of Ålesund after the town fire of 1904 gave the town a remarkably homogenous architecture: a striking, local interpretation of Art Nouveau concentrated in a limited area. The town's architecture is of high artistic, architectural and cultural historic value. That is why, over the period 1985-2003, the Directorate for Cultural Heritage chose to list a total of ten Art Nouveau buildings in Ålesund.

I can take a hint; for as long as I can remember whenever I have mused out loud what to bake Mr CC has helpfully suggested, "macarons". Much as I love macarons – their crisp, light shells sandwiching rich delights – I have been a little wary of making them. They seem so….high maintenance….so needy.
I've read on many a website that macarons hate humidity...so, of course, I end up baking them on one of the most humid weekends of the year. This isn't as bad a tactic as it sounds – if they succeed I am a baking genius who can defy all the odds; if they fail it's the stupid weather's fault!
But, never let it be said I shy away from a challenge. Armed with my new non-stick macaron mats from Squires I got to work.
I'm torn as to my favourite flavour macaron from Laduree; it's either coconut or chestnut. Sadly, both are seasonal flavours rather than all-year round, so for my first attempt at macarosn I opted for coconut. The fact that they were sandwiched with white rum white chocolate Ganache may have been a factor!
OK, so they're maybe not as uniform or pretty as the lovelies that you see for sale at Laduree or Pierre Herme, but they're not bad! And they taste heavenly.
As is often the way with much in life, what you fear and dread most actually turns out fine. I enjoyed making these and, while they're not a quick bake, I think they're worth the work. Oh yes, did I mention? In your face, weather!
For the macaron shells:
90g ground almonds
20g desiccated coconut
3 egg whites
55g caster sugar
½ teaspoon coconut extract
200g icing sugar, sifted
For the Ganache filling:
60ml single cream
150g white chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons coconut liqueur – I used Malibu
Start by placing the ground almonds and desiccated coconut into a food processor and blitz until you have finely ground powder.
Tip into a bowl and put to one side.
Line two baking sheets with baking paper or macaron mats (see above).
Beat the egg whites until you have soft peaks.
Add the caster sugar and coconut extract and beat further until the sugar has dissolved (rub a small amount of the mix between your fingers – if you can feel grains it needs more beating).
Fold in half the icing sugar, ground almonds and coconut.
Fold in the rest of the icing sugar, ground almonds and coconut – it's easier to do it in two lots.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag, which has a round nozzle – about 2cm is ideal.
Pipe rounds approx 3cm across leaving a gap between them to allow for spreading. Don't expect the mixture to be firm like buttercream; it's firm enough to hold its shape but it will run out of the icing bag without you squeezing so work quickly and precisely.
Lightly tap the baking sheets on the work top to encourage the macarons to spread a little. At this point the macarons are sticky and, if you tap you finger on one, some of the mix will come away.
Leave to stand for 30-40 minutes. This is important as they need to develop a thin skin and their "foot". If you tap the macaron again, you will feel the shell and nothing will stick to your finger.
Preheat the oven to 150˚C/fan oven 130˚C/300˚F/Gas mark 2.
Bake the macarons for approximately 25 minutes or until they have a firm-ish shell but aren't brown. I gave them 15 minutes, then turned the trays and gave a further 10 minutes – they must be cooked otherwise they won't lift cleanly off the baking sheet.
Leave to cool, on their trays, on a wire rack.
When cool, they can be stored in an airtight container. Only fill and sandwich them on the day of serving.
To make the Ganache filling: bring the cream to the boil over a low heat.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate.
Stir until melted and smooth.
Stir in the liqueur.
Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes, or, until the Ganache is smooth enough to spread. I found that 10 minutes in the freezer got the ganache to a perfect spreadable consistency.
Sandwich the macarons using the Ganache.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

Fruit Bars Recipes
Cranberry Bars with Chestnut Spread and Crushed Pecans
As Thanksgiving approaches, I've been giving more thought to new dessert recipes to go with the traditional pecan and pumpkin pies that we make each year. I recently had an absolutely delicious lemon bar, and it occurred to me that a modified cranberry sauce would be a good substitute for the lemon curd.
I used shortbread as the cookie layer. Shortbread is very easy to make, and the buttery and crumbly texture is a nice foil to the sweet and tart flavor of the cranberries. Once the shortbread had baked, I spread a thin layer of chestnut spread over it. The chestnut spread balances the tartness of the jellied cranberries.
To make the cranberry jelly, I added guava in place of the usual orange juice to give the jelly sweetness as well as a more complex flavor. (It also reminds me of our recent anniversary trip to Cancun). Guava is not really in keeping with the season, so if you prefer, apple juice would be fine, but I think the guava has more depth. The goal is to limit the sourness of the jelly because after all, we're making a dessert.
After applying a generous layer of the cranberry spread to the bars, I finished them with a sprinkling of chopped pecans.
