October 25, 2009
In the absense of Jeff and Jen, Dave and John break format this week to geek out on a number of different topics. Listeners could ask questions on just about any topic, and our fearless hosts took a stab at answering them. The conversation drifted through Drupal through Google Docs, the value of free software, Moodle, Google Wave, video problems, the role of textbooks, Sugar and OLPC, Android, and when to use Comic Sans.

How do you keep grease, when frying things, from splattering down on your glass mirrors? Or boil-overs when starting off, say, beans for making chili? Would any of this bake onto the mirrors and be hard to clean off without scratching the mirrors?

Photo Gallery: Colourful Contemporary Living Rooms
See bold & lively modern living room designs.
An opening below the wall and a stone column create the illusion of a fireplace.
Unexpected pieces, such as vintage bowling pins and a typography print, add life and colour to this room. A pale turquoise wall layers a serene note into this quirky space.
A brightly coloured space from the creator of Apartment Therapy.
In Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan's living room, rich layers and a judicious use of colour fuse high style with family-friendly design.
Light fills this open-concept space.
Natural linen window coverings bring warmth into this entertaining room. An accent wall painted a muted shade of teal complements the beautiful reddish sapele wood panelling.
Make a statement with Hermès orange.
This bright yet livable hue looks best in a flat finish. Crisp white trim keeps the palette fresh. And like the bolduc ribbon that's tied around every Herme?s box, chocolate brown furniture — in sumptuous fabrics such as velvet — offers a sophisticated finishing touch.

A bright and lively living room.
New recessed lighting, a leaded-glass window and mini floral mosaic tiles on the fireplace surround gave the tired, wood-trimmed living room new life. Fashionable chairs upholstered in a kelly-green trellis print are the perfect companions to a simple white sofa.
See the "before" photo in our Stylish Family Home Makeover gallery.
Inspired by street lighting, this light was originally designed for dining rooms.
The Arco lamp by Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni transforms the ceiling light into a freestanding floor piece. Its strong aesthetic presence and space-age connotations makes it a favourite in high-style living and office spaces.
Refresh a room with a coat of two of paint.
Update a tired room by changing up the wall colour — or better yet, the walls, trim and ceiling. Use a mid tone on walls and a paler tint on the ceiling with trim in goes-with-everything grey as the basis for a rich, regal space. Add a complement to enhance the look: try experimenting with colour wheel opposites (think shades of red with greens, shades of blue with oranges, and shades of yellow with purples) in soft graduated shades. Here, H&H senior style editor Morgan Michener added gold-hued upholstery, embellishments, art and accessories to make lilac walls pop, with hits of black to anchor the arrangement.
See our photo gallery for more fast decorating fixes.
This den pays homage to the retro architecture of the home.
In this 1970s home on Calgary's Lake Bonavista, floating wooden shelves incorporated into the fireplace's Pece limestone surround create an asymmetry that is very mid-century modern. Designer James McIntyre chose a Nuevo floor lamp and bright orange sofas to go along with the theme.
See more designs from McIntyre Bills in our photo gallery, plus more Orange Rooms.
Add layers to a bookshelf by hanging artwork in front of shelves you don't need to access frequently.
A yellow velvet couch pops against the black bookshelves behind it. Floor-to-ceiling shelving provides enough space for countless books, objects and mementos.
Bright colours and patterns look sophisticated when paired with on-trend neutrals.
Yellow drapes with a box-pleat valance and patterned wallpaper combine for a polished tone-on-tone effect in Victoria Webster's living room. The sofa, carpet and trim in pale grey balance the graphic impact of the yellow wallpaper without stealing its thunder.

Stone, seagrass, wicker and wood mix with slate grey and quince green for an edgier take on the Hamptons look.
A daring colour palette, large windows and an incredibly high ceiling all contribute to the jaw-dropping style of the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome's open concept living room. Patterned pillows in crisp blue and white bring decorative punch to the home's clean, uncluttered aesthetic and classic furniture. Breezy sightlines between rooms maintain an airy feel.
See more of the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome in our photo gallery. Also, watch Lynda Reeves tour the space.
Mismatched vintage chairs and a bold Bev Hisey rug add character to this space.
When renovating and decorating his first house, stylist Arren Williams installed deep baseboards and dentil crown mouldings in keeping with the period of the house. The mouldings and walls were painted white to unify and brighten the space, and provide a clean backdrop for the rich brown tones of the vintage furniture, including a modern teak chair found in the garbage.

Make use of vertical spaces in lofts for extra storage options.
Oak shelves hung above the living room desk emphasize the 18-foot ceilings, as well as provide a place to store books, objets and other items. The combination of wood tones and off-white paint gives the space a warm feel, softening the industrial elements. The home gym looks over the living area.
See more of this space in our Stylish Loft Living gallery.
A bowl of oranges, a striking Jacobsen Swan chair and a tangerine-coloured throw add vibrancy to an otherwise neutral colour palette of cream, brown and grey.
A vase of branches adds texture, while a Noguchi coffee table, a celebrated art print, and Arco floor lamp add design savvy. A soft shag rug pulls the look together and softens the deep tones of the hardwood floor.
Mix DIY pieces with investment furniture for a crisply edited space.
A durable, budget-friendly alternative to hardwood, slate-look ceramic tiles create visual flow throughout this house. The living room's modern aesthetic is offset by a classic 40-year-old Heriz wool rug. The homeowner had the rug's border trimmed for a contemporary look.
See the rest of this 525-square-foot space in our Online TV home tour, plus find more great ideas for small spaces in our Small Space Solutions gallery.
Street style meets sophisticated fashion in this space.
A mod mix of black, indigo and burnished gold rakishly blurs the line between hipster hangout and members-only hideaway. To get the look, introduce retro polish with smoked-glass accents, then enliven the moody ambience with vintage leather pieces and graphic patterns, from handsome stripes to exotic tribal prints.
Dark tones, luxe textiles and handsome details turn a ho-hum living room into an elegant space reminiscent of a Gentleman's Club.
Deep charcoal walls draw the eye to the concrete ceiling and contrast beautifully with the crisp white slipcovered sofa and pop-art pillows. One statement piece of art, rather than a gallery wall, keeps the look simple and high-end. A white tray provides visual relief on the dark coffee table and becomes an ever-changing display space.

Add energy to a neutral white space with bold red and blue accessories.
Former H&H staffer Michael Penney transformed this budget studio apartment into a bright, Scandinavian-inspired and multifunctional space. A sisal and cotton rug anchors the living area, filled with inexpensive furniture such as an Ikea sofa and two Parsons-style side tables pushed together to form a coffee table. In the corner, a plywood panel wallpapered with a colourful floral pattern acts as a large art piece. (A cheap and easy way to add style to a rental without angering the landlord.) Fern leaves mounted in Ikea picture frames create an affordable art wall above the couch, while in the window, a long piece of bamboo from Chinatown replaces a pricier curtain rod.

For instant impact, paint walls with 16″-wide vertical stripes in a simple two-toned palette.
Take the stripes right over baseboards and mouldings for added drama. Continue the theme with striped accessories — different widths easily mix as long as every pattern has a similar background colour.
The Vancouver haven of The Cross' designer.
When consulting with clients, Peter always gives this advice: "Surround yourself with the things you love and buy the best you can afford." He applied that wisdom when he designed his first condo — complete with come-hither cushions, display-worthy artifacts and splurge-worthy artwork. "And every space should have great lighting," he insists. Enter the Bourgie lamp from Kartell, a modern accent atop of stack of books.

Get creative with bookcases in an open space.
These clever bookcases run the entire perimeter of this open-concept room, offering storage without cluttering up or breaking sight lines. At only 27" tall, these open shelves are perfect for storing books and curios, freeing up concealed storage areas for less aesthetically pleasing objects. Be sure to limit the number of pieces placed on top of the bookcases to maintain the open feeling.

An expansive industrial conversion loft in Regina.
White-painted brick walls let the stunning architecture of this space speak for itself. The colour scheme was taken from Regina's natural elements: wheat-yellow and leaf-green. Vintage film lights and and weathered metal accents contribute to the raw feeling of the loft, while cosy textiles and the fireplace make it livable.
Find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Industrial Interiors and 26 Happy Yellow Rooms.
Bright walls, storage and accent pieces pull this room together.
The intense colours of the walls and bookcase backing are set off by crisp white trim and shelving. The scale and size of the bookcase offers plenty of storage for office items, and also adds character to the large space.
Colour-blocked books add punch to white shelves and collectibles.
Former H&H style editor Michael Penney splurged on a chocolate brown tuxedo sofa with a well-made frame. A seagrass rug and vintage glass and wood furniture introduce texture and personality in the space.
Glass, mirror and rattan mix beautifully in this boho-chic sitting area.
A white sofa and faux-bois lamp look fresh against a deep-blue wall. A Moorish tile rug and painted rattan chairs create a global, eclectic atmosphere.
Refined furniture and a complementary palette tames an audacious combination of patterns.
In this living room design, oversized, painted stripes visually raise the ceiling without looking busy. The large, playful floor lamp lends a fresh, fun perspective. A lively range of purple and brown hues, combined with a mixture of striped and floral patterns, also adds a lighthearted note.
For more lighting options, see our Statement Lighting photo gallery.
A charcoal love seat, Moorish patterned rug and bright yellow painted desk give this small room a contemporary look.
Striped wallpaper helps move the eye up and across the ceiling, making this tiny den appear larger. The thrift store lamp base (with a Jonathan Adler flavour) looks like a million bucks thanks to a coat of white spray paint.
A loft with a mix of vintage and contemporary styles.
A beautiful floral wallpapered accent wall in daffodil yellow is the perfect complement to warm chocolate tones and an expansive exposed brick wall. Sunshades let in diffused light through the large, industrial windows.

Thanksgiving was so relaxing this year. It was sort of bitter-sweet. But my ray of sunshine, was . . . my great niece . . . Sprinkles.
One evening while the "grown-ups" were playing Rook downstairs, Sprinkles and I, the "kids" were playing in the yellow room. Sprinkles said this was her room.
Of course, this is her Mamaw's house, but she explained that all the toys were hers and the bed was hers.
It wasn't time to go to sleep, we were just playing.
Okay, okay. . . here is the one you have been waiting for . . . the black and white. It IS Black and White Wednesday you know? Aren't they cute though?
Be sure to link up your favorite black and white shots this week. For more information about the "rules" of Black and White Wednesdays, click the menu option or click HERE.

Cold Steel 88CSAB 1917 Frontier Bowie Fixed 12.25" 1055 Carbon Blade, Rosewood Handles
CS88CSAB: 88CSAB 1917 Frontier Bowie
Cold Steel
From its huge imposing blade to its handsome rosewood handle, every inch of our Frontier Bowie screams perfection! The tempered carbon steel blade begs to be used and the sheath looks and feels absolutely awesome. This is a beautiful package in both the collection and the hard use categories.
Almost sword-like in its cutting and thrusting performance, the Frontier Bowie features a wide, wickedly keen hand-sharpened blade with a generous clip and huge fuller. Made from 1055 Carbon Steel, it is heat treated to a hard spring temper and beautifully blued to a lustrous finish. Its blade is both long and stiff enough to oppose even much larger weapons, while wide and sharp enough to make the most of every opportunity to cut, thrust and deliver a "palpable hit".
The Frontier Bowies handle is a perfect accompaniment to its battle-ready blade. Its big "S" shaped guard offers excellent hand protection while the slim, flat profile stops it from twisting in your hand and keeps your edge alignment true even in the heat of combat. Its modified pistol grip also keeps the knife locked safely in your hand even when utilizing a palm reinforced grip for extended reach and leverage in the thrust.
To further compliment this exceptional knife, Cold Steel has created a high quality leather sheath with a blued steel throat and chape. Its swiveling leather belt frog is wide enough to accommodate even a thick military belt and fully detachable to allow you to slide the knife into your belt for a more traditional carry.
This versatile knife is suitable for historical re-enactment groups from the 1830's onwards, Cowboy Action Shooters, civil war re-enactors and even modern Military groups. This truly battle ready blade is ready for any adventure, so whatever your Frontier, make sure that you have a Cold Steel Frontier Bowie by your side!
Please Note: These do come a little rough from Cold steel. There is a heavy coat of oil on the blade, grind lines are not perfect from time to time and the wood handles vary in wood grain and color hue. There may be slight imperfections in this piece.
- Item Number: 88CSAB
- Name: 1917 Frontier Bowie

Provides a traditional, natural look and feel to a modern tool. Wood absorbs shock well and is popular in axe handles.
Leather is known for its durability and traditional appeal. When compared to Kydex it is preferred for its silence when bumped against other objects, as well as blade retention.

Whitney Heichel: Murdered Barista's Family 'Profoundly Devastated'
Heichel's family said response has proven that there are "many good people".
Oct. 21, 2012 -- The family of murdered barista Whitney Heichel said in spite of their tragic loss, the support they have received from their community has proven that there are "many good people."
"The loving concern from ones that didn't even know Whitney or her family has deeply touched our hearts," Heichel's family said in a statement. "The kind expressions, and support from perfect strangers has confirmed to us that there is much good in people... And though, while this event in our lives is tragic, we saw the positive effects it has had on this community."
The search for the missing 21-year-old came to a close Friday night when police found her body and arrested a neighbor in connection with her death.
Police found Heichel's body on Larch Mountain, a 40-minute drive up winding roads from her home in Gresham, Ore.
They arrested Jonathan Holt, 24, an acquaintance and neighbor, after a series of interviews reportedly didn't add up and they found his fingerprints and DNA in her recovered car.
Heichel was reported missing on Tuesday morning when she did not show up for work at Starbucks, which was just a five minute drive from her home. Not long after, her Ford Explorer was found abandoned in a Walmart parking lot with its passenger side window shattered.
Her husband, Clinton, reported her missing at 10 a.m., about 2 and a half hours after she was supposed to report for work.
"I called her several times," Clinton Heichel said Wednesday. "I texted her several times and then actually at about 9:30ish, her phone got to the point where you would call and it went straight to voicemail."
Whitney Heichel's bank card was used to get gas at two different gas stations within eight minutes, her husband said, and police had been studying a surveillance video from the first station.
A man told police he recognized Heichel sitting in the passenger seat of her car at another station shortly before 9:30 a.m., but a man was driving.
Children playing outside an apartment building found Heichel's phone in some bushes on Thursday, and their parents knew it was Heichel's immediately because the screensaver showed her picture. It also had text messages asking if she was okay.
Earlier in the week, a search team discovered tire tracks, broken glass and Heichel's license plate on Larch Mountain, where they would later find her body.
Holt is scheduled to appear in Clackamas County Court on Monday.

Last night Lyra and Hercules were located near the zenith of my suburban sky, so I could make a series of 90 shots with 10 seconds of exposure each one. My equipment was the DSLR camera Canon EOS 450 (Rebel XTi). This image sequence is equivalent to a 15 minutes long single shot. After adding them with the shift-and-add technique, and substracting a dark frame (via Photoshop) that includes light pollution I got a final picture. I have aligned (using Nebulosity 2 software) the Stellarium map of the area and created an animated gif that switchs from the photo to the map continuously. It seems every star is located correctly where it should be 😉
Globular clusters M13 and M92 are there in the photo like 2 stars.

A handful of the more than 300 FDNY probationary firefighters training on Randall's Island have contracted the antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA, officials confirm.
A type of staph infection, MRSA can spread quickly in highly populated environments like schools, gyms and hospitals. At medical facilities, MRSA can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections.
The FDNY would not say exactly how many trainees were infected on Randall's Island, but says those infected are being treated and extra precaution is being taken for them to continue to train.
The department said in a statement, "We take this issue very seriously and we are acting aggressively to combat this problem by increasing our schedule of cleaning and disinfecting of facilities and equipment and educating our Instructors and Probies at the Fire Academy about how to prevent open wounds and the spread of MRSA."
Anyone can get MRSA through direct contact with an infected wound or by sharing items such as towels or razors that have touched infected skin.
Dr. Stephen Morse of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University says while staph is very common and that many people carry it in their nasal passages, MRSA is less common and harder to treat.
The probationary firefighters "should be watchful if their condition changes or if they get worse," he said. "It can be very nasty."
The doctor said infected facilities should be cleaned thoroughly with typical household detergents or disinfectants in case of outbreaks.

Crucifixion: History, Archaeology, and Why Jesus Died This Way (Good Friday Podcast)(Right click to download)
Today we meditate on the crucifixion of Jesus. In places around the world, images of the Christ crucified will be contemplated and venerated. Indeed, the image of the cross is quite familiar to us. It is part and parcel of Christian iconography.
Perhaps, it is too familiar.
Put frankly, the cross has in many ways been sanitized. To some extent, Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004) helped bring attention to the actual violence associated with this form of ancient execution. Indeed, the attempt to re-dramatize the violence caused deep controversy.
Some have even claimed that the film exaggerated the violence of Jesus' death. For example, some complained that the scene of the scourging, a vicious punishment carried out prior to crucifixion, was unrealistic.
Such complaints reveal just how "safe" Christian art has made Jesus' suffering. As New Testament scholar Mark Goodacre explains, a quick look at ancient sources reveals Gibson actually showed some restraint. Describing the scourging of another first century man named Jesus—Jesus ben Ananias—Josephus, a first century Jewish historian, relates how his bones were "laid bare" (B.J. 6.304)(cf. Goodacre's piece defending the film here).
Ancient Accounts of Crucifixion
The reality is, crucifixion was ghastly. Here I can only offer a brief treatment of the evidence. The fullest study is written by Martin Hengel.1 I'd also recommend Joe Zias' fine overview here. In addition, be sure to check out Mark Goodacre's fine podcast on the topic.
Josephus describes crucifixion as "the most wretched of deaths" (B.J. 7.203). The first century writer Origen calls it the "utterly vile death" (Commentary on Matthew 27:22). Cicero was horrified that any Roman citizen should crucified—in fact, he wrote that even the mention of the cross was too offensive to be mentioned:
But the executioner, the veiling of the head and the very word ̳cross' should be far removed not only from the person of a Roman citizen but from his thoughts, his eyes and his ears. For it is not only the actual occurrence of these things or the endurance of them, but liability to them, the expectation, indeed the very mention of them, that is unworthy of a Roman citizen and a free man. (Pro Rabirio 16)Seneca pointed to crucifixion to make the case for suicide. He made the case that no one would fault a person facing such a death for choosing to take their own life in order to avoid having to endure such a death.
Can anyone be found who would prefer wasting away in pain dying limb by limb, or letting out his life drop by drop, rather than expiring once for all? Can any man be found willing to be fastened to the accursed tree, long sickly, already deformed, swelling with ugly weals on shoulders and chest, and drawing the breath of life amid long drawn-out agony? He would have many excuses for dying even before mounting the cross." (Seneca, Epistle 101 to Lucilius).(Note the implicit reference here to the effects of the scourging prior to crucifixion—the body is "already deformed" when fastened to the tree.)
In short, crucifixion was ghastly. It was horrific. And it was supposed to be.
The Cross: An Instrument of Terror
Crucifixion was a way of terrorizing the population. It was meant as a deterrent. Oppose the might of Rome and this is what you've got coming.
Thus, crucifixion was employed against Rome's political enemies. It was meant to shame them. Joel Marcus describes crucifixion as "parodic exaltation"—i.e., it parodied the supposed exalted status claimed by Rome's enemies.2
Moreover, mass crucifixions were not unheard of. In 71 BC, six thousand followers of Spartacus were crucified on the Appian as part of a Roman victory celebration al ong in 71 BCE – appear in the literature (Appian, Bella Civilia 1.120). After two-thousand survived the siege of Tyre, Alexander had them crucified next to the Mediterranean Sea (Curtius Rufus, Hist. Alex. 4.4.17).
In particular, crucifixion was the punishment of the despised—runaway slaves and criminals. The cross was so closely associated with criminals, Plutarch writes, "each criminal condemned to death bears his cross on his back" (Plutarch, Mor. 554).
Specifically, then, crucifixion was often used to punish rebels. It is no wonder that Jesus is linked with Barabbas--a revolutionary (cf. Mark 15:7). Indeed, Jesus' crucifixion coheres well with the Gospel accounts describing him as a "Messianic" figure. It is no coincidence Jesus was executed as "King of the Jews" by crucifixion. Such was the fate of those who appeared to challenge Caesar's political authority.
Archaeological Evidence
There is little hard archaeological evidence regarding ancient crucifixion. The most significant find dates back to the first century. In 1968 archaeologists uncovered the bones of one "Yohanan Ben Ha'galgol" (or "Yohanan the son of Ha'galgol"), who apparently was the victim of crucifixion. He was somewhere between 24–28 years old when he died.
His legs had been broken. Even more striking, there was still a nail in the heel bone. Since iron was expensive, it seems Romans would typically remove these from the body. However, this nail was curved on the end. Apparently, after going through the foot, it encountered some resistance (perhaps a knot in the wood).
Based on the image scholars have come up with reconstructions of how Yohanan died.3 Though it should be pointed out that not all victims were hung from the cross in the same way. Josephus describes the way the Romans crucified figures in different positions (cf. B.J. 5.449–451).
The third image seems to be the most likely
Of course, one last image of crucifixion could be mentioned. Below is some graffiti that depicts a man crucified with the head of a donkey. It includes the words, "Alexamenos worships [his] god." While nothing about it makes it explicitly anti-Christian, we do know that Christians were mocked with similar images according to Tertullian (Ad nationes 1:11, 14).
Given all of this, it is no surprise that Christians were hesitant at first to even depict Christ crucified. In fact, the two earliest surviving Christian depictions of Jesus' crucifixion are found relatively late. The first is located on the fifth century bronze door at Santa Sabina in Rome (the Roman headquarters of the Dominican order). It depicts Christ crucified with the two other thieves. The other is the Maskell Ivories, a casket, also dating to the 5th century.

Cursed Be One Who Hangs Upon A Tree
In the Judaism of Jesus' day, crucifixion was associated with curse. Deuteronomy 21:22–23 states that anyone executed by being "hung on a tree" is cursed. This was applied to crucifixion in the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QpNah 3–4.1.7–8; 11QTemple 64:6–13) and by Philo (Spec. Leg. 3.152; Post C. 61; Somn. 2.213).
Not surprisingly, Paul had difficulty preaching the "Crucified One": "we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles" (1 Cor 1:23).
In the Gospels, Jesus' crucifixion is ironic. While crucifixion is meant as a kind of mock exaltation, the reader of the Gospel knows the truth—Jesus is the true King. In fact, it is precisely Jesus' willingness to undergo this humiliation which triggers his exaltation. He exemplifies the righteous one whom God will reward for not refusing to lay down his life:
"If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life? 27 For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done. (Matt 16:24–27)Why Did Jesus Die This Way?
In his Summa Theologica, St. Thomas surveys the New Testament and gives the following five reasons for why the Crucifixion of Jesus was the most suitable way for our redemption (III. Q.46, Art. 3). They are worth pondering during this Holy Week:
1. Man knows thereby how much God loves him, and is thereby stirred to love Him in return, and herein lies the perfection of human salvation; hence the Apostle says (Romans 5:8): "God commendeth His charity towards us; for when as yet we were sinners . . . Christ died for us."
2. Because thereby He set us an example of obedience, humility, constancy, justice, and the other virtues displayed in the Passion, which are requisite for man's salvation. Hence it is written (1 Peter 2:21): "Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps."
3. Because Christ by His Passion not only delivered man from sin, but also merited justifying grace for him and the glory of bliss.
4. Because by this man is all the more bound to refrain from sin, according to 1 Corinthians 6:20: "You are bought with a great price: glorify and bear God in your body."
5. Because it redounded to man's greater dignity, that as man was overcome and deceived by the devil, so also it should be a man that should overthrow the devil; and as man deserved death, so a man by dying should vanquish death. Hence it is written (1 Corinthians 15:57): "Thanks be to God who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." It was accordingly more fitting that we should be delivered by Christ's Passion than simply by God's good-will.
Thomas cites Augustine: "There was no other more suitable way of healing our misery" than by the Passion of Christ" (De Trin. xiii).

Erica was up for Tofu Pad Thai while the rest of us were ready for SUSHI TIME!
It's a cute little restaurant and were were enjoying the atmosphere. There's ample parking and it's a nice place. But now - the food!
As I said, one of our party had the Tofu Pad Thai and I have to say - it was great! I'm not a big tofu fan but I tasted a little cube and it was good! Nice and crispy.
The other 3 of us ordered sushi - 2 got the sushi combos but I was adventurous and ordered a couple of rolls.
The photo above is mine - I had a Tiger Roll and a Spicy Tuna Roll. They were really tasty and I definitely enjoyed every bite.
So - the food is solid at Sweet Basil. We all enjoyed our dishes. I have to say though - the price was a bit high for sushi. My bill for 2 rolls was $20...
The biggest issue - which I'm saving for the end - was timing and service. They were extremely slow and all four of us got our meals at different times. To me - that's just silly - we're 4 people on a Wednesday at lunch and it wasn't busy. The pad thai came at least 15 minutes before anything else! Then my sushi came and then 10 minutes later - sushi #2 and 5 minutes later - sushi #3.
I'm going to give Sweet Basil a 2.5 stars mainly because of service and price. It was okay - but RuThai's in Mt Lookout is quicker and more affordable and I like their rolls better.

It appears there is only one person working (slowly) on porting linux to this box. Not yet ready for a prealpha release.
Physical description (observed)
Picture for a moment a 19 1/2" monitor (viewable diagonal) sitting on a pivot stand that if you are observant you will notice is slightly thicker than usual, with a keyboard and mouse sitting in front of it. Beautiful isn't it?
If you wander around to the back you will notice a power cable going to the monitor and a cable going from the monitor to the swivel base. The power supply is in the monitor and in the swivel base is the computer. On the back of the base there is the afore mentioned video and power connection; keyboard, mouse, and auxilary ports; and a removable network card. My network card has a RJ-45 connector (10-base-T ethernet), an AUI connector (DB15 with the funky slide latch), and link and polarity LEDs.
Major chips
The processor is a LSI LR33000MC-33.
There is a NCD PN 4400006 which apears to be a bridge or multifunction chip.
The main chip on the network card apears to be an AMD 4100004.
The monitor program is on the network card.
These pictures are taken from a different model but are unmistakably similar to the network card in my box with the exception of the tranceiver, connectors and labels on the ROM chips. Note that there are two ROM chips per bank, and three banks.
Your usual for Xterminals BOOTP, TFTP load of kernal image. havn't yet found a image with a valid checksum to test boot with. There are two eproms on the NIC that are in the first of three 16 bit banks. Decompiling is started, but this is my first mips project.
Other Issues
Won't talk to my ethernet switch. Add a hub, and it works fine. Go, fig.
The network card that i have has an RJ45 connector and an aui connector. If a cable is plugged in to the RJ45 connector and directly into a switch, there are severe failures. from reading elseware this appears to be relaited to a link test conflicting with duplex negeoation. Another workaround is to use an external tranciever possibly with a modified aui cable. I plugged a tranciever directly into the aui port (no cable used) and it will now talk to the switch without the aid of a hub. --Bhildred 02:44, 4 Aug 2005 (BST)
Port status
Summary: Slim to none. If you want to help email me at b h i l d r e d (at) p e a k p e a k . c o m. --Bhildred 16:24, 26 Jul 2005 (BST)

Michael Skakel, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, will continue to serve prison time for killing a 15-year-old girl in Greenwich in 1975.
A parole hearing was held on Wednesday and Martha Moxley's mother, Dorthy Moxley, asked the board to deny Skakel's request to be released early from prison.
Just before noon, they did what Dorthy Moxley asked and denied parole.
Dorthy Moxley said at the hearing on Wednesday at McDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield that Skakel should serve at least 20 years in prison after he was convicted of fatally beating Martha with a golf club in Greenwich.
John Moxley, Martha's brother, said he is glad that Skakel will not be leaving prison.
"He has never taken responsibility. He's never shown any remorse. He's still looking for loopholes," John Moxley said. There's always been a hope that Michael would say something about what happened that night."
He said Skakel belongs in prison until he admits what he did, takes responsibility for it and tells Martha's family everything that he knows.
"But, you know, there's no upside in this. So what he got another five years in prison. What does that do for Martha? It does nothing for us," John Moxley said. "You pray for the soul. But you punish the flesh."
Dorthy Moxley said on Wednesday that it is the worst thing in the world to lose a child.
Skakel has filed several appeals. but this was the first parole hearing since he was convicted in 2002 and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.
On Wednesday he once again proclaimed his innocence to the parole board, saying "I did not commit this crime."
His older brother, John Skakel, also denied that his brother committed the crime.
"The Moxleys deserve peace and closure for Martha, but there's a second tragedy in this case, and it's that an innocent man has spent 10 years in prison for something he didn't do," John Skakel said.
"There is not going to be peace or justice until this case is fully investigated," he said. "We have basically been dragged through the mud for several decades. So, as you can imagine, that takes a bit of a toll and rips at the fabric of any family."
John DeFeo, executive director of the Connecticut Board of Pardons and Parole, said Skakel would be eligible to be released in March if the board approved it.
In March, Skakel lost his most recent bid to shorten his prison sentence.
The next hearing will be in October 2017.

It is a basic principle of international child law that the proper forum for the resolution of disputes relating to children is the court of the country where the child habitually resides. Whilst it is regrettable that the matter could not be resolved by agreement, it is pleasing that this principle has been upheld. The case was decided by reference to the Protocol signed in January 2003 by Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, the then President of the Family Division and The Hon Mr Justice Sh Riaz Ahmad, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The first paragraph of the Protocol sets out the principle. However, the relevant paragraph reads:
If a child is removed from the UK to Pakistan, or from Pakistan to the UK, without the consent of the parent with a custody/residence order or a restraint/interdict order from the court of the child's habitual/ordinary residence, the judge of the court of the country to which the child has been removed shall not ordinarily exercise jurisdiction over the child, save in so far as it is necessary for the court to order the return of the child to the country of the child's habitual/ordinary residence.
In this case the child's mother, Louise Campbell, had been granted interim custody by the Court of Session in Edinburgh last June and therefore the Pakistan court has ordered the return of the child to Scotland, the country of her habitual residence. The problem with the Protocol, of course, is that it would not have required the child's return if her mother had not already
obtained the interim custody order, despite the fact that Scotland is clearly the country of the child's habitual residence. This problem is likely to be particularly common in England and Wales, where the 'no order principle' means that in most cases there will not be a residence order in favour of the parent with whom the child usually resides - unless that parent has had the foresight to apply for an order in case the other parent should remove the child to Pakistan without his/her consent.

We really like this recipe, and gave it 4.5 stars, because there was just something missing in the flavor. Going to try tweaking it a bit - just haven't come up with what spices to try adding. I did add some salt as well. Any suggestions?
Sep 13, 2012
The pork cutlets turned out great! I didn't have very good luck with the gravy but will try to make gravy again.
May 21, 2012
A pleasant change from grilled pork chops. The chops were nice and moist and the sauce was plentiful.
Oct 12, 2011
This was wonderful! My husband and 5 year old son loved the pork chops! Instead of using mushrooms which aren't very popular around my house I used a yellow onion. I also doubled everything to yield more servings. I also used extra virgin olive oil to saute the pork. Overall it was great and tasted wonderful. It didn't take long at all to fix either.
Dec 14, 2009
Easy to fix and quick. I think I may try this with different spices on the meat.

The Architects' Journal selects the most important buildings from a galaxy far, far away. Part II features Jabba the Hutt's palace and the Jedi Temple
5. Artisanal dwellings, Tatooine
Home to Luke Skywalker, the two-sunned desert planet is known for its charming domed adobe buildings, reminiscent of Berber granaries of Tunisia such as the Ksar Ouled Soltane (pictured)
4. Coruscant, the whole thing
Like adding New York to Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, then squaring the result. The capital of the Old Republic takes urban sprawl to the extreme and realises the vision of Greek City planner Constantinos Doxiadis of an ecumeonpolis: a single city that covers the whole of a planet. The 'New Architecture' style common to the Senate Area of Coruscant is characterised by Manhattan-like skyscrapers nestled among blade-thin obelisks that resemble the soaring minarets of Cairo.
3. Jedi Temple, Coruscant
The temple's exterior form adapts the robust typology of Mayan temples, with durasteel cladding specified for the external stone walls for improved defensive strength. Over a kilometre in height, the ziggurat is built above a Force-nexus and has ample room for training facilities, accommodation and the Jedi Archive. The temple has five towers, the tallest called the Tranquillity Spire which has similarities to the minarets which surround the Ahghia Sophia in Istanbul.
2. Jabba the Hutt's palace, Tatooine
This monumental structure in stone and metal is composed of three cylindrical towers; located at the fringe of the Northern Dune Sea on the planet of Tatooine, it was originally built as a monastery by the B'omarr Monks. The palace's hulking mass dominates the surroundings and is home to torture chambers, droid pool, storage area for frozen enemies and Rancor pit. Not universally admired, C3P0 commented: 'That is scarcely what I would call a palace, Artoo. It looks more like an iron foundry'.
1. The Second Death Star
A pleasing return to Classical symmetry, the Death Star was the run-away winner. Despite rumours of construction over-runs and structural weakness, this menacing spherical chunk of Brutalist infrastructure has made its impression on a architects from Ledoux and Boullee to Heerim Architects' lunar hotel.
Readers' comments (7)
No, no , no. The second Death Star was a poor facimilie of the original, and best. Why didn't they move the design on a bit...
These aren't the droids you are looking for...move along...
The tall building in the background of the Annikin/ObiWan conversation in Episode III bears a striking resemblance to Burj Dubai. How did you miss that?
Do you think Coruscant looks like it does today because of the Emperor's son's 'totally unconstitutional' interventions? No. A lesson we need to learn.
How about comparisons with other sci-fi architecture? Borg ships; space station in 2001: A Space Odyssy...
The Artisanal dwellings of Tatooine look like Ksar Ouled Soltane - but the ones in the Phantom Menace are in fact Ksar Hadada:
George Lucas pretty much nicked the whole look of Star Wars from Tunisia, from the names (Tatooine is a real town in Tunisia) to the clothing (Jawas in djellabas) to the architecture...
Oh, and of course the Lars Homestead, aka the Hotel Sidi Driss, a traditional Berber cave dwelling in Matmata: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matmata

WHO collaborating centres for Nutrition
Collaborating centres are national institutions that have been designated by the Director-General to form part of an inter-institutional collaborative network set up by WHO and which cooperate with WHO programmes at national, regional and global levels. They play an important role in the development of WHO's programmes, in particular, its research and training component.
The functions of WHO collaborating centres for nutrition include the following:
- Promotion of WHO's policies, particularly health for all with respect to nutrition.
- Collection, collation and dissemination of information on nutrition;
- Standardization of terminology and nomenclature, technology, diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic substances, and methods and procedures in nutrition;
- Development and application of appropriate technology for nutrition;
- Training, including research training, in nutrition;
- Participation in collaborative nutrition research developed under the Organization's supervision, including planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of research, and promotion of the application of results;
- Coordination of activities carried out by several institutions in nutrition.
Over the last decade, WHO has designated numerous collaborating centres for nutrition, which are part of a large network covering 5 of the Organization's 6 geographical regions. Given their functions, collaborating centres are primarily regional in character, although a few enjoy collaborating status with the global Programme of Nutrition for particular components of their joint programme of work. This mainly concerns activities implemented outside the region in which a centre is located.
WHO is currently reviewing and strengthening its working relationships with its collaborating centres in order to exert its global nutrition leadership and fulfil its tasks in the twenty-first century within the framework of the new strategy for health for all.

Mosca has been chosen to be a guest speaker at the inaugural USA Diving Rings of Honor induction.
Photos from the 2012 Olympic Team Trials - Diving
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Rising sophomore Mike Mosca has been invited to be a guest speaker at the USA Diving Rings of Honor Induction Ceremony Saturday, June 23 as part of the 2012 Olympic Team Trials in Federal Way, Wash.
In its inaugural year, the USA Diving Rings of Honor was created to honor those who have achieved excellence and contributed to the success and notoriety of the sport of diving. The Rings of Honor will recognize the accomplishments of divers, coaches and members of the diving community in the following categories; USA diving legends, distinguished coaches, honor contributors and the USA Diving Lifetime Achievement Award.
The USA Diving Rings of Honor committee has selected six individuals for the inaugural class; Dr. Sammy Lee (Lifetime Achievement Award), Greg Louganis (USA Diving Legend), Pat McCormick (USA Diving Legend), Hobie Billingsley (Distinguished Coach), Lyle Draves (Distinguished Coach) and Jan Rude (Honor Contributor).
Mosca, who is also competing at the Olympic trials in the three-meter synchronized and three-meter individual competitions, was asked to speak at the ceremony about the many learning disabilities he overcame as a child on his path to Harvard. In this editorial piece published by The Crimson in December, Mosca describes the challenges of his youth:
"Although I have become a decent diver, I didn't win—or even place—in my first U.S. diving competition; in fact, I had the dubious distinction of coming in dead last. Unlike my classmates and teammates who may have spent much of their youth trying to stand out, I spent most of mine trying to fit in. An inventory of accomplishments is not what garnered me a coveted spot at Harvard or the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in diving. Quite the opposite, a lengthy list of failures paved my way." CONTINUE READING
Despite those adversities, Mosca enjoyed a successful freshman year in Cambridge which included winning the Ivy League Championship on the one meter, placing second on the three meter, and setting new school records on both boards.
Mosca began his first Olympic trials on Monday by placing sixth in the three-meter synchro, earning himself a place in the finals on Friday, June 22 which will be aired live on NBA Sports Network. Mosca and his partner, Toby Stanley from Conway, Ark., posted score of 703.56 through the preliminary and semifinal rounds with the top eight teams advancing to the finals. The team with the highest score following Friday's finals will earn the right to represent the U.S. at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Mosca is also competing in the three-meter individual competition which begins Wednesday, June 20. For a complete meet schedule, or for more broadcast information, click here.

Hi All -
I've been combing the threads trying to "watch" the swarming season creep up from the south.
Seems like we're getting close.
As you start seeing swarms in your area perhaps you might reply to this thread so we can track the season?
A simple post of your location, weather, origin of swarm if known, and date would be great.
Thanks in advance!
