First question - is the K1300GT a significant improvement? Is there anything about the late K1200GT that keeps it from being a mileage conquering touring beast?
First question - is the K1300GT a significant improvement? Is there anything about the late K1200GT that keeps it from being a mileage conquering touring beast?
Since no one else wanted to bite first I guess I will.
You'll find the 13's with less mileage because they're newer. Also more expensive.
The 2nd gen 12's need to have the cam chain tensioner upgraded along with a chain guide and jump guard. 13's already have them. Most used 12's will have them by now too but it isn't a free BMW upgrade so will have been done by the previous owner.
12's have turn signal buttons on both handlebars (left on left side and right on right side). 13's have different turn signals much like the standard Japanese bikes. There's also rumors that the newer controls have reliability issues.
12's and 13's can suffer from final drive failure. Not all of them, just some. BMW in most cases will not cover it so your bank account will have to.
13's have a bit more power, obviously, but it isn't as if the 12's don't have enough.
13's have a revised transmission that shifts smoother.
13's come in a nice red color that 12's didn't and side fairings are a bit different around the BMW emblem.
I'm happy with my 12. Just installed a Booster Plug to fix the fueling issue at the 2600-3200 RPM range that made the throttle snatchy. It now runs smooth at lower RPM's. Most 13's don't have that issue. It's due to running lean (that the factory didn't seem to think was a problem). Both bikes will get in the mid-40mpg range if ridden respectfully. If ridden hard they'll be in the 30's.
If I'm missing anything someone else will chime in.
Magazine reviews say the 13 handles much better in the twisties. This may not be a concern to you. My buddy had both, and supports that the 13 was better. He's on a k16 now.
I've ridden both, but not in a situation where the differences were noticeable to me.

Dave, nice job.
Air box I think was an issue on some 12s. I have what the previous owner says was one of the first 07' models and knock on wood have not had an air box issue.
Final drive failure I believe also affects the R-Bikes.
As for shifting, it helps if you preload for up shifts and only give the clutch a quick partial pull. I personally would not want to purchase a 1600, I like a high revving engine. The bike is wicked fast regardless and gets phenomenal mileage for the performance it returns!

I am thinking that I may have a need for an Interstate cruising bike and the cost/value of the K1200GT frankly caught my attention.
How critical is the cam chain issue and how much is the upgrade?
Both bikes have an electronic cruise control as standard don't they?
I am no stranger to final drive issues, having replaced 2 over the years. That issue has made me seriously think about jumping ship to a Triumph.
I bought the tensioner and installed it myself for my K12GT, after paying a dealership to install the one on my (now sold) K12S. If I remember right it was around $125. There are directions on this forum, took about 1/2 hr. The jump guard hasn't been done yet, will wait and get it done when the valves are checked during the winter months. I know that it is also fairly easy to do if you are into home wrenching.
Yes, they both come with electronic cruise control, power windscreen, heated grips and seats, factory color matched bags and optional trunk. My wife appreciates the seating position, and I'm finding the GT is nicer for the slab, but miss my "S" for regular non-slab rides. The problem for me is that there seems to be no one bike that does it all, and with college age and soon to be college age kids, one bike is all I get right now. Not that I am saying the GT isn't a fun bike to ride, just have to work harder in the corners where the "S" would just flow right through.
I don't remember how much the upgrade cost.
I-BMW.com is a good place to get information on this. The site is mostly K bike owners.

Triumph has its issues too, just like any other bike. And like stated before you can not find one bike that does everything well.
I salivate over a K13S, would love to have one. They don't come with cruise control which is very nice to have when you're slabbing. You can put a real cruise on it but you're spending roughly a few hundred bucks to do it. I've seen it on other forums.
The GT is a really nice bike with a really poor seat. It may be comfortable for some all the time but after about 250-300 miles it's pretty uncomfortable to me so after about 450 miles I was really ready to get off the bike. You'll need to spend $500-700 to get a nice custom seat.
The jump guard is pretty much a necessity. I bought my bike used from the local BMW dealer and it has had all the upgrades done including the airbox. You can do it yourself or help the local economy and have the dealer do it for you.
The later 1200s had the updated tensioner, but you'd still need to do the jump gaurd if it had not all ready been done. I chose an 08 GT as it was what I considered the sweet spot of these bikes. By that year, most of the issues of the 1200 were sorted, it does not have the servo brakes and has the more familiar (to me) BMW style turn signal switches. I did the jump guard myself, its a pretty easy job to install.

As I ussally folow the F series ,I don't know about the wedge K. What years was the 1 gen and the 2 gen machines?
I consider the brick engine K12GT bike to be first gen and in US were '02-'04 production years.The LT was the last bike to retain that engine platform
The first wedge engines came out in the US in 2005 model year as the K12S and the K12R.
The GT was a 2006 model, so it's the 2nd gen. Then they upped it to the 1300 in 2009 models

Still nobody has helped me at all, thanks.
Is anyone ever going to help me, like please!
We don't have the option to "Like" as we do on Facebook, so I don't know how someone will be able to "Like" please.
So confused by this thread. Is this some inside joke, or is TASpark being actively ignored?
All I want to be is the very best machine I can be.
Still being ignored as of today.

You can create and host a public website to use with Office 365 by working with one of Office 365's partner providers, if you like. These partners help Office 365 customers set up a complete online presence. (If you already have a SharePoint Online Public Website, you can create a new one with a partner and manually migrate your current content.) You'll design and manage the website at the partner website; the website not integrated with Office 365.
If you already have a public website hosted somewhere else, you can keep your website with your current hosting provider.
To set up a new public website, sign in to Office 365 and choose a partner to work with. Then follow the steps to sign up with the partner, create your website, and (if you like) set it up with your domain for the website's address, like www.contoso.com.
Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.
Go to the Office 365 admin center.
On the left navigation bar, choose Public website. (If you're using Office 365 Small Business, which is no longer available for purchase, choose Public website on the Getting Started pane.)
Choose Learn more for a partner.
If you have a SharePoint Online Public Website, you'll also see a link to manage your website.
On the partner website page that opens, you'll see the special offer for Office 365 customers and a prompt to start creating your website with the partner.
After you create your website, the partner site will guide you through publishing your website so other people can access the site by using a friendly URL with your custom domain, like www.fourthcoffee.com.
More about the public website options in Office 365
If I already have a public website set up in Office 365, can I keep it? Yes, if you have an Office 365 subscription that already has a public website, there are no immediate changes. However, as part of the evolution of the Office 365 service, the current SharePoint Online Public Website offering was discontinued on March 9, 2015. If you already have a website, you can continue to use and update your site for a minimum of two years after this changeover date. But moving forward, you will need to plan for moving to a partner offering or another provider for public website functionality.
How do the new partner website options compare with the SharePoint Online Public Website option? The existing SharePoint Online Public Website feature was designed for customers who needed only a basic online presence. The new solutions provide better tools and solutions needed for delivering, supporting, and managing a more complete online presence.
If I want to move my current SharePoint Online Public Website to one of the partner sites, how do I do that? We provide general guidance that can help you move your website's content to one of the partner solutions. More detailed information about setting up and customizing websites is available in Help articles at the partner sites.
Is there an additional cost for setting up a public website with a partner? The partner sites offer access to tools and services that let you create a more full-featured website solution than the SharePoint Online Public Website, with special discounts available to Office 365 customers who come to their sites using links from Office 365. The cost is in addition to the Office 365 subscription, and the specific terms and details vary by partner and by market.
Can I use other public website solutions with Office 365? You can use any website hosting service to set up a website; you don't have to use the partners listed in Office 365. However, if you use the links in Office 365 to go to a partner website to set up your site, you can take advantage of discounted offers that are only available to Office 365 customers.
I'm using my custom domain in Office 365 for the website address (URL) for my SharePoint Online Public Website. When I create a new website at a partner site, how do I set up the new website to use my domain for the website address? That depends on how the DNS for your custom domain in Office 365 is managed: at your domain registrar (or DNS host) or by Office 365 (your domain's nameservers are directed to Office 365 nameservers).
Tip: Not sure how your domain's DNS is managed in Office 365? Go to Domains > Manage domains, and select your domain name. Choose Manage DNS, and look under DNS Management.
If you manage DNS for your domain at your DNS host, you can change the records for your domain that are currently pointing to your SharePoint Online Public Website to direct to the new website instead. You can find help at the partner website to learn more about how to do this.
If Office 365 manages the DNS for your domain, the records will be updated for you at Office 365 so visits to your domain address will go to your new website.
Want more information about how the public website partnership works with Office 365? Details are included in this article.

Region's lakes in better shape than you might think
The bass fishing club that I belong to is not looking too good. A few days ago I went out to check on the water level and had to blink a couple of times to believe my eyes. The boat shed was almost high and dry, and there was nothing under the hull but dried mud. On one of the nearby trees, there were several buzzards surveying the scene and feeding on dead carp. An alligator was laid up in the reeds with only its toothy snout showing. Fishing on that particular lake has been sucked dry by the continuing drought.
Normally the landowner will pay to have water pumped in on the lakes at the club. But based on what I've been hearing from farmers, they're lucky to get enough water for their rice fields. A rice crop will always win out over growing more bass.
This week I gave guide Bill Fondren a call to see how things are on Sam Rayburn. He reports that the lake is about 9-1/2 feet low.
"Rayburn is as low as most folks have ever seen it," said Fondren. "It was lower in 1996, but not by much. It's a big lake and we've still got plenty of water. And the fishing is better than you might believe. But getting to those fish is the problem. We've had a lot of boats running up on mud flats that used to be covered with water. I don't know of anybody that's been seriously hurt so far. But a whole lot of fiberglass is being crunched on stumps and logs."
Fondren says that he boxed 39 crappie Monday morning. He's one of the best crappie fishing guides on the lake. And during the summer months, he'll spend 100 percent of his crappie fishing trips over sunken brush piles. He's got dozens of them scattered all over the lake.
"This week we found most of the crappie holding about 4 to 5 feet over brush in 14 to 15 feet of water," says Fondren. "That brush used to be in 25 feet of water. We're just moving from one brush pile to another until we find the fish. All of them are being caught on live minnows."
Fondren says bass fishing is hit and miss.
"They're here today and gone tomorrow," he said. "The best pattern has been to fish soft plastics and cranks in 8 to 10 feet of water in the creek channels. The topwater bite has been good early and late. And the night bite has been excellent on buzzbaits. The problem with fishing at night is navigating your way around all the shallow stumps and logs."
On Toledo Bend, David Reader at Fox's Lodge reports that the lake is around 9 feet low and very clear.
"We've got a lot of stumps showing that a lot of us have never seen before," says Reader. "And up on the shallow flats, we've got lots of thick weeds. Those flats are normally good to fish on but not now. The boat lanes are still in good shape. But there are a few stumps beginning to show in them."
Reader says the hot days are slowing bass fishing down except for the early and late bite on soft plastics.
"The best catches of bass are coming from the creeks in 9 to 11 feet of water," he says. "White spinnerbaits are good early and late. But the best pattern has been to use soft plastics. Fishermen on the south end of the lake seem to be catching more bass than on the upper lake areas."
Catches of catfish and crappie are good on the lower end of T-Bend, as well. Crappie are best at night over baited holes with live minnows. Crappie fishing during the day is probably good, but it's been too hot for most anglers. Blue and channel catfish are excellent over humps along the river channel and in the creeks on trotlines baited with live and fresh cut perch.
If you're looking to catch a box of fish, you might want to head over to Lake Livingston. That's where lots of white bass and stripers are being caught just about every day. The guides I've talked to on the lake are jigging white and chartreuse slab spoons over humps and points. Another option is to troll deep diving cranks trailing 1/4-ounce Pet spoons.
If you head out on East Texas lakes don't forget to take along plenty of sunscreen and water. You'll need lots of both. And definitely wear your life jacket and keep a close eye out for stumps, logs and shallow flats.

In a recent interview, President Obama meant to say that tearing apart Paul Ryan's budget right in front of him was a mistake. What he said instead was this:
"I'll go ahead and say it – I think that I was not aware when I gave that speech that Jack Ryan was going to be sitting right there."
To be fair to the president, have you read Patriot Games? If I thought I'd somehow wronged Jack Ryan, I'd apologize to him first too.

A US debt default could spur China to diversify its multitrillion US dollar foreign exchange reserves — the world's largest — as Beijing seeks to boost its voice in the global economy, analysts say.
A historic default would inevitably lower the value of China's US dollar assets and have a broader impact on its economy, the second largest in the world.
Chinese officials and state media have already sounded the alarm as the deadline approaches for the divided US Congress to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a financial catastrophe.
Analysts said the heightened possibility of default is likely to cause China to further diversify its reserves — which it is already doing — and even trim holdings of US Treasuries, but they ruled out Beijing dumping its holdings.
The bulk of China's foreign exchange reserves, which reached a towering US$3.66 trillion at the end of last month, are held in the greenback.
"If there really is a default, the Chinese government will definitely speed up foreign exchange reserve diversification, seeking safer bonds of other countries," said Liao Qun (廖群), a Hong Kong-based economist with CITIC Bank International (中信銀行國際).
"If there is an acceleration in diversifying, there might also be a reduction in holdings [of US Treasuries]," he said. "China has a reason to do so, but of course it would be extremely difficult."
China is the largest foreign holder of US Treasury bonds with US$1.28 trillion, closely followed by Japan with US$1.14 trillion.
Any large-scale selling of US debt by China would erode the value of its remaining holdings, analysts said, while few other asset classes anywhere in the world are large enough to park such vast amounts of cash, leaving Beijing with few practical alternatives.
In the longer term, Japan may also rebalance its portfolio a tad to diversify away from holding US government debt, said Yoshikiyo Shimamine, executive chief economist with the Dai-ichi Research Institute in Tokyo.
However, Tokyo's political dependence on the US — for example, in its defense pact — mitigates against a sudden switch, he added.
"There is no financial instrument that is as highly liquid as US Treasuries," he said, implying that it is difficult to see any major economy abandoning them.
Another worry for Beijing is the impact a Washington debt default would have on the US and global economies. China is heavily dependent on exports and foreign investment to maintain momentum in its own economy, which expanded 7.7 percent last year, the slowest growth since 1999.
A default "would definitely have a noticeable impact on the US economy," said Sun Junwei (孫君瑋), a Beijing-based economist for British bank HSBC Holdings PLC.
"In this way, it would also have a negative impact on China's economy," she said.
Meanwhile, South Korea warned of risks of volatility in the won and stresses within its bond market as the US grapples with the threat of a default.
Prolonged tension over US fiscal policy adds to the danger of increased volatility in financial markets, the South Korean Ministry of Finance said in a report prepared for a parliamentary audit yesterday.
Bond issuance by companies with low credit ratings may wither, the report said, amid a criminal probe and financial crisis at the Tong Yang Group. South Korea will strengthen monitoring of financial markets and act quickly if necessary to curb volatility in its currency, the ministry said.

The retina is a layer of neural tissue that lines the inner eye and captures visual stimuli. Hereditary, physiologic, or environmental factors can lead to various retinal disorders and may cause blindness. The recent application of molecular genetic techniques to retinal disorders has led to remarkable advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine reviews recent work on retinal diseases, describing their genetic and molecular basis, their clinical characteristics, and strategies to diagnose and treat them. The contributors emphasize how genetic approaches are currently driving progress in the field. They discuss the genetic mutations and modifiers that underlie disease development and progression, the gene expression patterns that characterize them, and how this information is being used for medical applications. In particular, the authors describe impressive advances in gene therapy treatments for retinal diseases, some of which have led to clinical success.
Common retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa are covered, as are rare disorders such as Leber congenital amaurosis and Usher syndrome. This volume will be a useful reference for geneticists, neurobiologists, and ophthalmologists who must understand and manage disorders of the retina, as well as anyone working to develop gene therapies for other medical conditions.

Over the past few weeks I've been reflecting on the connections I make in a digital world. The main purpose for the reflection was to fulfil a MIS assessment on Online Personal Learning Networks [OPLN] in Dr. Michael Stephens Fall 2012 Transformative Learning & Technology Literacies class. I think that Richardson and Mancabelli's description of an OPLN as a unique learning environment where 'we learn what we want or need to learn using the vast resources and people online' is fitting (2011, p.3). This method of informal learning complements traditional learning and helps us to function better in all aspects of our daily life: at home with family and at work.
What excited me most about creating an OPLN was that I had to figure out what information I needed and where this was going to come from. This was a personal journey that only I could take; I set the direction and the path to follow. I also had to think about how I would curate what I found. Organising the information into one space or place had its benefits: ease of curation, portability and accessibility spring to mind immediately. The end result is more than simply an assessment; it is a practical tool that I can use throughout my career as an academic librarian.
Getting started
Diving head first into the ocean of information that is 'the internet' works for some folk, though I needed something more structured or defined to begin with. As my OPLN was unique to me, I asked myself two questions:
- What are my current information needs both professionally and with my studies?
- With whom, what or where do I need to connect to help me address these needs?
I used the first question to form my goals statement highlighting my main information needs for both groups as below:
Professionally, in my role as a teaching librarian at a New Zealand University, it was important for me to keep informed about:
- Teaching methods/styles that promote information literacy
- Changes affecting the NZ University and academic library environment
- The use of social media tools within the academic library environment
- Professional development opportunities for librarians/information professionals
- Mentors and role models within the library or information profession environment
- Maori information resources and Maori world view
With my studies, and particularly in relation to my research project, it was important for me to keep informed about:
- Trends in digital and emerging technologies both globally and within New Zealand
- Trends in educational learning methods and styles
In categorising my main information needs, the scope of my resources falls broadly into the following four areas:
- Pedagogy (21st century learning, participatory learning)
- Technologies (mobile and emerging)
- Relationships (social media, professional development, mentorship, NZ University and library environments)
- Themes (information literacy, M?ori-focused resources)
Having defined my resources, the next step was to start collecting relevant information. I needed a discovery tool and, though I hadn't quite realised at the time, I had been using one religiously for the past few months.
My discovery tool of choice: Twitter
It still amuses me, even now, that the majority of information resources that appear on my OPLN were sourced from one tool: Twitter. Yes, Twitter. This would be my answer to the 'who, what, and where' question I raised earlier.
I had created a Twitter account in 2009 and my activity between then and mid-2012 consisted of a whopping 40-ish tweets. In hindsight, my use of Twitter and my knowledge of its capabilities were pretty, well, pitiful. In the early stages of the LIBR 281-14 programme, each student was encouraged to create a Twitter account (if they didn't already have one) and use it as part of the class engagement. We were encouraged to share links to relevant or interesting articles, webpages, and anything else we could find. Within two months of starting the programme, I had tweeted more times than in the previous 3 years! I am thankful we were encouraged to use Twitter as an information discovery tool. It wasn't until I began putting my OPLN together that I truly understood its value in my personal learning.
What I love most about Twitter is its ability to filter information*. On the suggestion of a work colleague I monitored twitter feeds using first, Tweetdeck, and then secondly, Hootsuite (I actually preferred the first as the interface was more to my liking even though they look similar). Once I found people to follow, and by people I mean librarians, fellow MIS students and educators, I started to get a 'feel' for how information is best dispersed through this platform. For me, Twitter is like an index to the internet and is a simple way to conduct an environmental scan on a topic of interest with, dare I say it, minimal effort on my part. Naturally, I had to read any tweets and click through links for myself to see if the information suited my needs. The hard part though, finding the information in the first place, was done by those I followed: brilliant individuals passionate about their interests and wanting to share them with the world.
Interestingly, since using Twitter I've noticed it is used in more and more places. I used it myself as an engagement tool within my presentation slides at the LIANZA 2012 Conference. This morning I followed live 'tweets' from attendees at the Ascilite2012 Conference in Wellington, New Zealand (about 190km away) using the hashtag search: #ascilite2012. When my classmates post useful links I can find these by searching #transtech. Just moments ago I received this tweet as I was writing:
The link took me to another Ascilite2012 attendee's collection of notes on 'Web 2.0 Pedagogy: Mobile Social Media' and included a number of links to related websites and educator blogs – wow! While it would be great to attend this conference in person, Twitter is definitely my 'next best thing'.
Going back to the point at hand – I now have my information sources. The next step was to find a tool for curation.
My curation tool of choice: Netvibes
I tossed around the idea of two curation tools: Symbaloo and Netvibes.
I learned about Symbaloo from a classmate's blog and I was really impressed with the look and feel it had. I experimented with the design online and whilst the interface looked great, I already had an idea of how I wanted my OPLN to look. In my mind it would look similar in format to Tweetdeck but would need to encapsulate all types of information, preferably as live feeds. As luck would have it, Netvibes was mentioned in another classmate's blog so I gave that a try. I haven't looked back since.
There are many of wonderful features in Netvibes. First of all, it's free. Second, it provides enough functionality (for me at least) to successfully curate the types of information sources I wanted to share: websites, blogs, twitter feeds and follows (no surprises there!), videos and links to journal and newspaper articles.
Netvibes allows you to curate your own private and public dashboards and I expect my public OPLN will continually evolve around my topics of interest at any given time. For the new librarian or information professional, the power of connected learning through the development and curation of your own OPLN is empowering. You won't know what you don't know until you come across it and an OPLN can help you find things you didn't even realise you were interested in.
In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, I am thankful to Dr. Michael Stephens, to my LIBR 281-14 classmates, and to the many individuals who have participated in my online personal learning network.
*IMHO educators and librarians are the best at collecting, filtering and disseminating valuable information in 140 characters or less.

bistro dinner
Somehow I managed to pull off a major win tonight with dinner. Skirt steak, green beans, and mashed potatoes doesn't sound all that groundbreaking—or even interesting—but it managed to kind of be both.
First, I marinated the skirt steak for about half an hour, maybe a touch longer, in a mixture of lime juice (2 limes), soy sauce (less than 1/4 cup), olive oil (also less than 1/4 cup), and a dash each of Worcestershire, cumin, and paprika. I seared the steak for about 3 1/2 minutes on each side in a cast iron skillet with some sliced sweet onions. Once out of the pan, I let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing against the grain.
I sautéd the green beans in a touch of olive oil with salt and pepper for about 6 minutes, then poured in about 2/3 cup of water, covered the pan, and let the beans get tender. After I took the lid off, I let the water evaporate, then threw in a mixture of butter, garlic, and paprika and cooked until the beans got a little wrinkly.
The potatoes were nothing special—just one russet potato, boiled with skin on, and mashed with some sour cream, butter, and a little salt and pepper. I should have added some garlic, but they didn't really suffer for the lack.
The whole meal was so balanced and the flavors were full without being overwhelming.
The skirt steak was my own creation—it's pretty much the same marinade I use for fajitas—but it turns out it's also pretty similar to an Alton Brown recipe. The green beans were from a Cook's Illustrated recipe and, typically, there are several variations with different aromatics and flavors, and I want to try them all because it was such a good veggie. The potatoes . . . well, mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes. I would have used milk instead of sour cream, but we're out; otherwise, the potatoes were, you know, standard.
All in all, a filling, delicious, and reasonably healthy meal. Oh, and total cost? The skirt steak was $5.99, the green beans were $1.99, and the potato was probably about a buck. Under $10 for a delicious meal for two? FTW.
keeping busy on a Sunday afternoon
I made a dress today. My first dress! It turned out pretty good. The pattern is Simplicity 3875 (otherwise referred to as the Duro Junior.) I didn't make the more traditional Duro view; I made the v-neck with the crossover banding.
Here's what I learned:
- My pattern was the wrong size, so I had to fudge a little on sizing it up to my measurements. This was actually pretty successful. I probably can take the shoulders back down a size, but otherwise, my alterations were pretty spot on. Except…
- The back-neck-to-waist measurement was two inches longer than on me, so I shortened the bodice by two inches. Because it's an empire waist, though, two inches was too many. I should have shortened the bodice by 1 inch — maybe even only by half an inch — and taken the other inch or inch and a half off of the skirt front.
- The sleeves on this dress — the C pattern — are just not great. I don't think it has anything to do with my construction or my alterations; they just aren't good sleeves. The big problem is that I can't lift my arms up at all. Next time I'll make the B dress, which doesn't have a set-in sleeve and thus should avoid that problem.
- This fabric, while a little heavy for the pattern, actually worked out quite well. It's got a nice sheen to it, and it really sewed up beautifully. Given that it's actually a home dec fabric, I am pretty happy with it.
dessert is a good thing
Also, I made soufflés tonight. We had a sweet tooth.
Buttered and sugared ramekins:
This recipe always makes THREE, not TWO. One of these days I'll remember that. The reason this is a problem tonight is that I doubled the original recipe because the ramekins I currently have are 2 cup ramekins, not the 1 cup ramekins the recipe calls for. But the recipe always makes three, ALWAYS. Which I just never remember. If I had remembered that the recipe always makes more than it's supposed to, I would not have changed it at all, and it probably would have made just enough for two, 2-cup ramekins.
Anyway, here they are in the oven:
The recipe is here; the pictures on that post seem to have disappeared, probably during a migration at some point.
I finally finished my skirt, and I have to say, it didn't turn out too badly. The zipper is still completely messed up, and the trim is slightly uneven, but overall, I think it turned out pretty cute.
Next up: a cute sundress in a fun sunflowery fabric. It's going to take me a while to make it, based on the instructions.
something fancy for dinner
I live in a great city for meat. Despite that, I've never bought meat anywhere but at the local grocery store or Whole Foods. The former has a pretty terrible selection and the quality isn't terrific; the latter is just too damn expensive for every day. So I finally took the time to figure out where the nearest butcher is and, today, stopped by.
I was, admittedly, nervous. Which is ridiculous—I mean, we're talking about a butcher shop, right? People have been buying meat from the butcher instead of the supermarket forever. But this butcher shop is in the meatpacking district and is very no frills and I really just had no idea how user-friendly it would be. (I hear stories of one place where you walk into, basically, the meat cooler and have to put on gloves so you can pick out your own meat. Ack!)
My nerves, though, were completely unwarranted. Not only was this shop VERY user-friendly—from the butcher who rummaged in the back for a couple of my special requests to the wholesale dealer who took five minutes to talk to me about the difference between two kinds of Polish sausage—but it was also CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. Example: I managed to get out of there with 2-1/2 pounds of tenderloin for about $6/lb. (I also got a whole chicken, two beautiful ribeyes, some pork chops, and a pork blade steak for tacos later this week. The blade steak was $2. TWO DOLLARS. And it will feed us for at least one dinner with plenty for leftovers.)
Tonight, I took advantage of the tenderloin and made Beef Wellington for Two. I picked up a Cook's Illustrated issue full of recipes scaled down for two people a few weeks ago, and the Beef Wellington looked amazing. Instead of wrapping an entire tenderloin in puff pastry, as is traditional for a Beef Wellington, this recipe calls for cooking the two portions individually.
First, I trimmed the tenderloin (it was actually the tenderloin head) and cut it into three pieces. (One piece went into the freezer; I'll figure out something amazing to do with it later.)
Then I seared the steaks in a small pan on the stovetop.
The steaks went into a 425˚ oven for 15 minutes, along with the puff pastry, each on its own pan. While they cooked, I made the sauce—Madeira, mushrooms, Dijon mustard, and some other stuff.
Out came the steaks, to be smeared with paté (duck paté made with port wine, which I picked up at the grocery counter of the liquor store). For plating, I rested each steak on the bottom half of piece of puff pastry, topped with the sauce and the other half of the puff pastry. Served with steamed asparagus and a white wine beurre blanc.
The steaks were a touch overcooked—the next time I make this, I'll shave a few minutes off the oven time as well as from the searing—but still very, very tasty, and the sauce was amazing. I'm calling this one a win.
Friday night cocktail
It hasn't been a bad week; things are picking up a bit at work, and I'm still feeling flush with the success of last weekend's skirt making. I wanted to keep the good going, so I've spent tonight doing things I enjoy: watching trash movies and having a cocktail.
The trash movie is last weekend's Meteor (part two on Sunday!), and the cocktail is a true Old Fashioned.
(OK, maybe not true — I don't have any bourbon. ((I used Jack Daniels, a fair compromise.)) But there's no fruit in my recipe — fruit does not belong in an Old Fashioned.)
To make:
Mix up some simple syrup if you don't have some already. ((Put equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it forms a light syrup. Cool before using. I just keep a jar of it in the fridge.))
Then, in an old fashioned glass (the short, fat, round kind), put several cubes of ice, two tablespoons of simple syrup (I used less because of the Jack Daniels), a couple dashes each Angostura bitters and Peychaud bitters ((You might have to search for the Peychaud bitters, but they're worth it. Not just for the color — bright red — but for the flavor and aroma.)) and a couple of ounces bourbon. Scotch can work too, but I don't really care for Scotch. Stir gently and enjoy slowly.

Actor Harris Yulin has sold a cottage in Venice for $2.7 million.
The one-story house, built in 1922, has one bedroom and one bathroom in 784 square feet of living space. Surrounded by mature trees, it sits on a 7,191-square-foot double lot on a walk street.
Yulin, 74, has appeared in scores of television shows and movies. His film work includes "Scarface" (1983), "Ghostbusters II" (1989) and "Training Day" (2001). He has appeared on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1999-2002), "24" (2002-3) and "Nikita" (2011-12).
The prolific actor moved back East and had been leasing the place out. He decided to sell rather than update the house. Yulin paid $82,500 for the property in 1977, public records show.
Jennifer Hughes of Bulldog Realtors was the listing agent. Donna Bohana of Solstice International Realty represented the buyer.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Are tablet users looking for an alternative to Google and other search engines designed primarily for PCs?
That's the hope that led to Friday's release of Izik, which is billed as the first search engine tailored especially for iPads and increasingly popular tablet computers running on Google's Android software.
Izik's free app can be downloaded on the iPad or Android tablets.
To cater to the more visual format of tablets, Izik displays search results in rows of tiles that can be easily scrolled with a swipe of a finger. That contrasts with Google Inc.'s emphasis on mostly static links accompanied by snippets of text.
The tablet-driven search engine is the creation of a 5-year-old startup called Blekko.

Four local councils have been fined a total of over £300,000 for serious data breaches by the Information Commissioner, who has criticised local government's attitude towards protecting personal data.
Leeds City Council was fined £95,000, Plymouth City Council £60,000 and Devon County Council £90,000 after separate incidents saw details of child care cases sent to the wrong recipients. And the London Borough of Lewisham was issued with a penalty of £70,000 after social work papers were left on a train.
The Information Commissioner said the latest penalties mean that nineteen local councils have now received monetary penalties for breaching the Data Protection Act, totalling £1,885,000.
The case in Leeds saw sensitive personal details about a child in care sent to the wrong person, revealing details of a criminal offence, school attendance and information about the child's relationship with their mother.
When sending internal mail, the council re-uses envelopes that have been used for external mail. But in this case the external address wasn't crossed out, and so the sensitive file was posted outside the council to someone who had nothing to do with this case.
The breach at Plymouth City Council followed a similar pattern, with information passed to the wrong recipient including highly sensitive personal information about two parents and four children, notably allegations of child neglect relating to ongoing care proceedings.
The breach occurred when two reports about separate child neglect cases were sent to the same shared printer. Three pages from the first report were mistakenly collected with the papers from the second case, and so were handed to the wrong family.
In Devon, a social worker used a previous case as a template for an adoption panel report they were writing, but a copy of the old report was sent out instead of the new one.
The mistake revealed personal data of 22 people, including details of alleged criminal offences and mental and physical health.
In Lewisham, a social worker left sensitive documents in a plastic shopping bag on a train after taking them home to work on. The files, which were later recovered from the rail company's lost property office, included GP and police reports and allegations of sexual abuse and neglect.
Information Commissioner Christopher Graham said, "It would be far too easy to consider these breaches as simple human error. The reality is that they are caused by councils treating sensitive personal data in the same routine way they would deal with more general correspondence.
"Far too often in these cases the councils do not appear to have acknowledged that the data they are handling is about real people, and often the more vulnerable members of society."
He said: "there is clearly an underlying problem with data protection in local government". Graham said he would be meeting with stakeholders from across the sector to discuss how they can address the problems.
The Information Commissioner's Office is pressing the Ministry of Justice for stronger powers to audit local councils' data protection compliance, and if necessary without consent. The same powers are being sought for NHS bodies across the UK following a series of data protection breaches in the health sector .

The retreat included sermons, hymn worship, prayer meeting, etc. Church members of Truth Church in Binjiang District, Hangzhou also participated in the retreat.
Rev. He Jiemiao, president of Jiangsu Christian Council (CC) explained the meaning of life for preachers and how to learn to become a good shepherd from the perspective of faith's concepts; he also delved into several practical issues like why Christians suffer from illness and how to confront with ancestor worship, etc.
Rev. Kan Renping, chairman of Nanjing TSPM gave a clear explanation with regard to the teaching of Paul "offer your bodies as a living sacrifice" from the Old Testament Leviticus 1. He also cited verses from Mark 10:42-45 to help the congregation comprehend the teaching of the Lord Jesus relating to how to be workers of the era.
At 18:30 of September 10, all students and faculty of Zhejiang Theological Seminary attended the prayer meeting. Rev. Zheng Rongda, president assistant and chaplain of the seminary used verses from Matthew 5:13-16 to urge all to be salt and light to reconcile and light up others' life.

Batch Capacity Planning, Part 2 - Memory
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (12683)
I can't believe it's been almost a week since I wrote Batch Capacity Planning, Part 1 - CPU . Where did the time go? Re-reading it I'm struck by the overwhelming theme of Batch's unpredictability and lumpiness. This is true of memory, as well, but to a much lesser degree. Why to a lesser degree? Well, in most systems I look at the memory usage is mostly fairly constant and dominated by big... [More]

In the past day or two, some - but not all - images have not been shown in Firefox. Just the word "image" appears.
For example, the stone idol image at the bottom of viewtopic.php?f=22&t=18189&view=unread#unread
I've found that on my Windows 7 machine, I can't see it in either normal or private browser windows.
Opera and Chrome show it in both kinds of windows.
On a Windows 10 pc, it's ok in normal windows but not private ones.
Not much of a problem now that I know how to get round it - I'm just reporting it to save head-scratching if anybody else has this "feature".

Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant
That would seem to be the former Ambassador's rule, having just ranted about the lack of federal recognition for the site of "the last battle between French and English", or Placentia.
That would be the Battle of Signal Hill, Bill. And the three National Historic Designations in Placentia.
So while Bill Rowe rails about what he calls the "sad neglect by the federal government of many of the historical aspects of Newfoundland and Labrador", he seems to be blissfully unaware, or wilfully blind to, some important facts.
First, there are 94 National Historic Designations in the province, about 5% of the total — larger than the provincial share of the Canadian population or landmass.
Second, the province has nine of the 158 federally-administer National Historic Sites.
And finally, if that amount isn't commensurate with the province's share of Canadian history, then the remedy is easy: start nominating more sites, persons, and events to commemmorate. You see, Bill, this is the really wacky part: the National Historic Designations process is driven by nominations.
The federal government doesn't dole them out of its own mere motion, or on some patronage basis. If you think something is worth federal historical recognition, Bill, anyone, nominate it. Here's how.
PS, Bill — as for L'anse aux Meadows, it is one of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Newfoundland and Labrador, one of fourteen in Canada. Two is two more than PEI, NB, MB, or SK, and one more than NS or ON have. Sites are nominated at UNESCO by... that nefarious federal government you rail against. Other recent nominations have included Red Bay, Labrador.
