text: Measurement Conversion Apron August 5, 2009 By Outblush We're cooking from scratch a lot more these days, in an effort to save money and avoid processed ingredients, but as we've told you before, math ain't our strong suit. So when we find a great recipe for, say, Blueberry Cream Coffee Cake, but want to reduce it by half and bake it in muffin tins… we're at a loss, and have to resort to Googling with dough-covered fingers. Never good for the laptop, but just guessing at the answer can yield unpalatable results. A faithful Outblush reader just told us about this Measurement Conversion Apron, ($19) and all we can say is, SOLD! Printed upside-down on the bottom of the apron is a basic cooking measurement conversion chart, so you just flip up the apron and find your answer, right there in the kitchen! The chart includes measurement conversions for cups to ounces to tablespoons to teaspoons, and common baking pan substitutions. [Thanks, Jenn!]

Woman Carrying A Bull by Vladimir Fokanov
I like this image a lot -- the wonderful cognative dissonence between the nude female and the impossibile weight of the bull carried so easily on her shoulder. She is not alone you know -- there are quite a few such images of women with animals hefted on their shoulders. And I find them all compelling...still trying to figure out what it is that pleases me so. In the meantime...I'll just leave her here engaged in her task and figure she and the bull will find a future place in the writing.

Drop Biscuits (Cooks Illustrated)
If buttermilk isn't available, powdered buttermilk added according to package instructions or clabbered milk can be used instead. To make clabbered milk, mix 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and let stand 10 minutes. A 1/4 cup portion scoop can be used to portion the batter. To refresh day old biscuits, heat them in a 300-degree oven for 10 minutes.
Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon sugar 3/4 teaspoon table salt 1 cup cold buttermilk 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (about 5 minutes) plus 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing biscuits |
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda sugar, and salt in large bowl. Combine buttermilk and 8 tablespoons melted butter in medium bowl, stirring until butter forms small clumps. 2. Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated and batter pulls away from sides of bowl. Using greased 1/4-cup dry measure, scoop level amount of batter and drop onto parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet (biscuits should measure about 2 1/4 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches high). Repeat with remaining batter, spacing biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until tops are golden brown and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. 3. Brush biscuit tops with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 5 minutes before serving. |

Celebrate fall's flavors while still eating sensibly with this simple Thanksgiving menu.
by Ellie Krieger
This Thanksgiving menu for six is bursting with delicious fall flavors, but in portions that won't leave you feeling like a stuffed turkey. The centerpiece is an impressive rolled roast turkey breast with a spiral of stuffing and a cider gravy. (And since it's a boneless breast, you don't need to spend all day roasting the bird). Jewel-Roasted Vegetables—carrots, beets, and brussels sprouts—brighten up the plate, while smashed potatoes made with lower-fat sour cream have all the richness of the traditional version. Finally, a pumpkin pie flan satisfies the craving for that spicy-sweet holiday classic, sans crust.

This is technically valid perl. Since no search string is specified, $_ will be searched, implicitly. Then, as perlop points out, the match in scalar context returns true when a match occurs and false when it doesn't. So $input will be true or false, based on whether $_ had one or more word characters.

With three female companions, none of whom could drive a car, for fifty-nine days she drove a Maxwell automobile the 3,800 miles from Manhattan, New York to San Francisco, California.
2)1934 - Donald Duck debuts in The Wise Little Hen.
3)1983 - Margaret Thatcher wins a second term by a landslide in the British General Election with a majority of 144 for her Conservative Party. Tony Blair is elected for the first time to Parliament.
Two important birthdays:
1)1915 - Les Paul, influential American guitarist

One Death:
1870 - Charles Dickens, English author (b. 1812)

- Irene said...
Yay for Alice! I thought it was interesting that none of her companions wanted to learn how to drive!
I used to frequent the San Diego Zoo in college when I had unlimited access for my Animal Behaviour class a long,LONG ago... I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could even manage the genus-species name. :) Thanks for stopping by!
Magical Dreams,
Thanks for visiting!
I always used to say that Donald Duck and I shared the same birthday, but now Johnny Depp is more interesting. :)
I'm 5ft 3in, so it doesn't take much for me to look stocky... Enjoy your vacay!
It's interesting to see what else happened the day you were born! I'm having a great weekend! Thanks! Stay cool!
You don't put in the year you were born, just the month and day. :) I think we're all in denial, though. Just yesterday I was 19.... ;) - 1:20 PM

Part Two, The Girl Next Door: Now, December 1997 and Then, September 1997 Summary
December 1997. Gus goes to the grocery store and overhears a couple women gossiping about Chris. Gus confronts them only to be told everyone is talking about it because of an article in the local paper. Gus reads the article and believes that it is one sided, based mainly on a series of interviews with Melanie Gold. Gus goes to the newspaper and demands an apology, but the editor has no sympathy for her plight. All the editor will offer is to have the writer interview her and do a series of articles from her point of view. Gus refuses. Later Gus visits Chris at the jail and learns that Chris was never suicidal. Gus is relieved by this and believes it means her...

As Dom bravely makes his way through a seemingly endless parade of KitKats, I find myself faced with something which might actually stretch the remit of Chocablog a little.

Fake News serves conspiracy theorists well
January 31, 2017 Leave a comment
A recent article posted by Orac examined the fallacious story of FBI raids on the USA Centre for Disease Control.
What's concerning here is that such stories aren't just bogus claims or cherry picking from evidence or misrepresenting of reports and announcements from authoritative sources. Nope, these stories are utter nonsense with no basis at all in verifiable events.
They aim to advance malignant and anti-social agendas. In the case of the above lie that the FBI raided CDC offices, it's clear purpose was to exploit the drooling anticipation of the anti-vaccination lobby. Mainly that with "vaccine/autism/tweeting" Trump having been inaugurated the evil masters behind mass poisoning-by-vaccine would get theirs.
A second very useful purpose is that very few people check the source of the material. Within 24 hours the fake news story may have been read by tens to hundreds of thousands. Even if the piece is refuted with evidence and thoroughly debunked, it is unlikely readers drawn to the key message will invest the time and intellectual discipline to ascertain a. the facts and b. how readers were deceived.
There's an interesting article here examining Trump's grab bag of lies. If you can possibly (again) bear Michael Shermer's "rustle in the grass" reason as to why he reckons our species is prone to believe, it's lurking there to scrape your eyes across. I find this too simplistic. It side steps the notion of risk and reward – a trait of strong human beings throughout history.
Perhaps it's more of a factor of individual cognition. I mean if we evolved to distrust the "rustle in the grass" why did only one nutter "investigate" the bogus story of a Clinton run child sex ring. By firing his gun. Into a pizza shop? No. We haven't evolved to believe. We evolved to think. Believers tend to be fodder. Thinkers not so.
Do read Orac's piece. It focuses on the FBI/CDC issue nicely. Not only was this fake news story published but was followed up with further fake news boasting articles with headlines proclaiming "Confirmed".
Fake news isn't new to those dealing with anti-vaccination lies. The anti-vaccine lobby has been publishing deceitful articles and "announcements" for years.
It seems in the present climate it is likely we will see more fake news from a range of anti-science, far right wing, bigoted groups that are finding a damaging voice to Western democracy.

New Kind of Computer "Never Crashes"
Jason Mick

System could be useful for mission critical applications, such as combat robotics
Professor Peter Bentley
of the
University College of London
and his colleague
Christos Sakellariou
aren't impressed with most everyday computers, which aren't very fault tolerant and can only multitask by flipping their cores between various sequential instruction streams in a program.
He describes in
an interview
, "Even when it feels like your computer is running all your software at the same time, it is just pretending to do that, flicking its attention very quickly between each program. Nature isn't like that. Its processes are distributed, decentralised and probabilistic. And they are fault tolerant, able to heal themselves. A computer should be able to do that."
So the pair set out to make a new hardware and a new operating system, capable of handling tasks differently from most current machines, which even if "parallel" deal with instructions sequentially.
The new machine has instruction set pairs that tell what to do when a certain set of data is encountered. The instructions-data pairs are then sent to multiple "systems", which are chosen at random to produce results. Each system has its own redundant stack of instructions, so if one gets corrupted, others can finish up the work. And each system has its own memory and storage; so "crashes" due to memory/storage errors are eliminated.
Comments Prof. Bentley, "The pool of systems interact in parallel, and randomly, and the result of a computation simply emerges from those interactions."
The results will be presented at an April conference in Singapore.
The team is currently working on coding the machine so that it can reprogram its own instructions to respond to changes in the environment. That self-learning, combined with the redundant, pseudorandom nature of the system would make it quite a bit more
similar to a human brain
than a traditional computer.
Potential applications for such a system include military robotics, swarm robotics, and mission critical servers. For example, if an unmanned aerial vehicle sustained damage or was hacked, it might be able to reprogram itself and escape errors thanks to the redundancy, allowing it to fly home.
The computer is somewhat similar to
so-called "probabilistic" chip designs
, which are being researched at other universities.
New Scientist
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

discrete and simple VCCS
I am reading lots of positive things about CCS supply for DHT heaters, and therefore tested the attached schematic in Multisim. It ought to be a Voltage Controlled CCS. In theory it works, but how well? How can one calculate/determine how many volts the Mosfet needs for good functioning? Is that value related to Rds?
For testing purposes I included a 2VRMS source in series with the 12VDC source, and there was only some microvolts across the 7R resistor, but I dont know if that is a valid test? I am curious about your opinions, also regarding stabilization, etc. Regarding CCS usage in general. I am seeing that more and more people are using CCSs to isolate the noisy PSU from the amplifying circuit. There are different heater/cathode circuits around, Richard Sears uses CCSs to feed Single Ended amplifiers and he refers to Kevin Carter using CCS in a fully differential PP amplifiers to eliminate current loops through the PSU. And Allen Wright (RIP) last amplifier had a fully diffential output stage as well.

It's a constant voltage source with a terrible tempco, awful compensation, and no protection (from excessive current or voltage). It's also not a VCCS, because it doesn't show an input node which sets current.
The only reason it may seem to work is the 1uF on the gate (which will probably cause it to oscillate in practice; a simulation probably won't catch this). This is a true VCCS and will do an excellent job: Typically, Rg = 100 ohms, C = 100pF (optionally with a 4.7k resistor in series), R = 10k. To save on power dissipation and dropout voltage, choose a small Rs. For filament regulation purposes, you'll want a constant voltage on the input, which can be supplied from a voltage divider from a TL431 or something like that. Note that parallel filaments are not strictly constant current in this method. You'd have to have a series chain for that. A much better filament power source, for paralleled filaments, would be a current limited voltage regulator, preferably a switching regulator so you don't waste power. Tim

Underway at 0715 with Ibi taking her first ride on the roof of the pickup, we headed back to Hannibal. We arrived at 1830 for the night. It rained all night, and we had poor prospects for walking about town in the morning, but the last of the rain cleared through as we ate breakfast.
Samuel Clemens' life is an amazing story all its own, and as Mark Twain, he brought his childhood and friends to life through the tales of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
The bronze statue of Tom and Huck at the north end of town.
While the stories were based on fact, they were embellished for the benefit of the reader. As Mark Twain said (paraphrased, because I didn't record the exact words), nothing goes further to ruin a good story than too much truth. He was born in Florida, Missouri, just west of Hannibal, but the family moved to a modest house on Hill Street in Hannibal in 1846. The white house on Hill Street was visited by Mark Twain several times during his adult life. His father was Justice of the Peace, a position with more title than pay, and the family was always in dire financial straits. Of the buildings central to his young life, only his father's law office was moved to be included in the museum, and it was only moved one block.
His father's law office, moved from one block further down the hill.
Dr. Grant's drug store. He, his wife, mother-in-law, and the Clemens'
lived on the second floor.
He left Hannibal in 1853, and it would be twenty years before he started the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Many of the childhood acquaintances found their way into Twain's books. His mother was Aunt Polly. Laura Hawkins, his childhood sweetheart, lived across the street from the Clemens home, and would be the model for Becky Thatcher.Becky Thatcher's home.
In the stories, the real-life Tom Blankenship would become Huck Finn, who lived behind them in a log cabin. He was arrested for stealing turkeys in Hannibal, but would later in life reform to become a Justice of the Peace himself in Montana. Huck Finn lived in a log cabin only a couple hundred feet behind the young Samuel. This is the only building that is a reconstruction. There were plenty of pictures and personal accounts available about the home's construction, so it was recreated using salvaged beams and other materials from area log cabins.
Just before he died, Mark Twain wrote and dictated his autobiography with the stipulation that it could not be published for 100 years. His reasoning was he could be painfully honest about the facts, and anyone who might be offended would be dead before the book came out. He passed away in 1910, and the book was just released last year. Knowing my deep interest in this man, his humor and work, Jean got me a copy of this impressive tome. It is secured in a dry bag, so it can go paddling with me.

Treat me: Blueberry Orange Delicious
Blueberry Orange Delicious
This is the sort of pudding your Nana probably used to make, given a bit of a makeover. It's all about the textural contrast - soft sponge on top, silky custard underneath. You can make them ahead of dinner - they're fine to eat slightly warm.
1 cup frozen blueberries
50g very soft butter
½ cup caster sugar
Finely grated rind of 2 oranges, plus the juice of one of them
1 tsp orange blossom water (or vanilla extract)
3 Tbsp ground almonds
2 eggs, separated
200ml milk
Heat the oven to 170C. Grease four ramekins (about 200ml capacity) or cups and set them in a deep roasting dish.
Divide the blueberries between the ramekins.
Beat the butter and sugar together - it will be tricky, but persevere - then add the orange zest and orange blossom water or vanilla and mix well. Stir in the flour.
Add the egg yolks and milk and beat again to form a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, then gently fold them into the batter. Carefully pour the mixture over the blueberries.
Fill the roasting dish with hot water - it needs to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins - and put it in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the sponge is risen and golden. Serve warm or hot (though they are pretty good cold the next day too).
Have a great weekend, everyone x

ReplyDeleteIt seems wrong to say that I was not interested in the constant chatter about Kate's hair and William's bald patch. Also, I am so happy it has rained at last relieving my garden of such pain and giving me the chance to wallow in a bath again. Super pud to celebrate though.
ReplyDeleteI have definitely spent too much timing reading about Kate's outfits and George's 'antics'...this looks like the perfect pudding to take a break from that with!

Unawatuna surfing and birthdays
Trip Start
Jun 15, 2011
Trip End
Jun 15, 2012
Estela and I took a walk down the beach to see what was there, and we scoped out restaurants for future meals, possibilities for recreation, and the general quality of the beaches. We had a couple of drinks at a beach bar behind a barricade of jungle growth tucked out of the wind.
Later, just before dark, Mason and I stumbled into the water in front of our bungalow. There were waves breaking there on the sand, maybe one or two footers, and we stayed in the water for about an hour, rolling around in the surf, letting the water push us around. As night came on I watched out west as the setting sun cast color into an array of lumpy clouds, and to the east as the full moon came up on the horizon, and north at the mouth of a thunderstorm popping silent lightening strikes somewhere in the jungle. Could life get better than this? I don't think so.
Unawatuna was one of the Sri Lankan beaches most affected by the tsunami, as it was in a direct line from the underwater landslide that occurred off western Thailand In 2004. The local restaurants all show pictures of the destruction that their businesses endured, and in many cases the buildings were completely destroyed. The beach was wiped out and thirty feet of sand is still missing, making the waves inside the harbor crash on shoreline properties. 600 people died on this beach during that tsunami, 22 of them foreigners. One unfortunate story we heard was of a French couple sitting on the shore with their three kids playing in the water when the tsunami hit. The parents were able to escape, but all three of their kids were carried off and never seen again.
On Monday our kids started on their school work. Shelby had stated that she wanted to climb ahead of her work and get it all done before returning home, so that she could concentrate on 'home' things when we return to California. I'm anxious to see how long that lasts.
In the afternoon I found a guy right in front of our hotel with a bunch of old, yellowed surfboards for rent. I took one out to the reef to try to catch a wave or two. It turned out that I had gone out in too low a tide, and wound up surfing in about six inches of water, scraping my fingers on the reef as I paddled. I was able to catch a few small waves, however, and Estela sat on the balcony and snapped pictures of me. The waves were small and crumbly and destroyed by an onshore wind, but it didn't matter much. It had been seven months since I had been out surfing and it felt good to realize that I was still able to catch a wave, especially on an ancient surfboard.
The next day I saw some locals out at the point when the tide was higher and a slightly larger swell had rounded into the bay. I got the same board from the same guy and walked out to the point, jumped off the jetty and paddled over to where the locals were. It took me a while to get used to where all the rocks sat below the surface, and to see how the waves broke on this point, and after about half an hour I was catching some waves, and going fast across the bay on this crappy yellow surfboard. Sudu was the guy who pretty much owned the break. I had met him a few days before when he caught me admiring his board at his guest house, the 'One Love'. He looked like Bob Marley and had a real confident and laid back attitude about him, and I spent some time out in the water talking to him about things. The other guys out there were also pretty good surfers, very friendly, and surfed there nearly every day.
A couple of days later the swell had gotten bigger and I found right away where to sit to be well positioned for the biggest waves. Most of the locals sat inside, closer to the reef, and caught a large number of smaller waves. I sat outside and picked off the big ones that took me all the way across the bay. This session was extremely fun and risk free at this high tide level washed cleanly over the inside reef. Sudu wasn't out in the water, so I didn't have any big league competition and pretty much caught every wave I wanted that broke outside. I surfed until my feet cramped up, then belly boarded across the inside reef into the inner bay. It was one of the best surf sessions I have had in at least a year.
Mason and I spent some time out in the water this week snorkeling around, finding shells and chasing fish around. The inside reef wasn't all that good for snorkeling, though. What we really needed to do was to get into a boat and go out to the outside reef, beyond where I was surfing, and spend some time looking at the large schools of reef fish that lived there. We never got that chance because on the last full day of our stay here I developed some kind of stomach virus that kept me in bed all day long. We leave Unawatuna tomorrow morning after a full week here, and I still have no energy and no appetite. This same kind of lethargy and lack of appetite hit me in Koh Chang last month, and I am scratching my head wondering what it is.
It was the girls' birthday while we were here in Unawatuna, so Estela and I tried to figure out what to get them. I had stopped by a jeweler to look at sapphires a couple of days earlier, and had ordered a Garnet ring for Estela (her birthstone), and so we went to the same jeweler to see about getting the girls stones set into rings of silver to match that of mom's. Garnet was their birth stone also, so it all worked out. We ordered the rings. Then we stopped by a bakery to see about getting a cake, but the bakery didn't do entire cakes for whatever reason, but only sold slices (??). When we went to the restaurant where we regularly had dinner, I asked the waiter what he could do for us. He said he'd take care of things for us. He arranged for some balloons, and somehow obtained a cake for us, and make it like a regular birthday party, and all the waiters joined us for a piece of cake. That waiter got probably the biggest tip of his life, and he deserved every rupee of it.

James, 1 & 2 Peter, and Early Jesus Traditions (The Library of New Testament Studies)
By: John S. Kloppenborg (editor), Alicia J. Batten (editor)PaperbackMore than 4 weeks availability
This book studies comparisons and possible trajectories between three 'catholic' epistles, and traditions associated with Jesus. Part A analyzes why James would recall the teachings of Jesus, how he alters these teachings, and what such adaptation suggests about his audience. Part B turns to the Jesus tradition and 1 and 2 Peter. What can 1 Peter's use of Isaiah 53 tell us about the historical Jesus? How has 1 Peter conflated early Jesus traditions with those of ancient Judaism in order to develop certain ideas? How does 2 Peter allude to Gospel traditions? Moreover, how does the author of 2 Peter use early Jesus traditions as a sort of testimony? The book is an important contribution to scholarship on source criticism, ancient rhetoric, and the influence of Hellenistic, Judean and Roman traditions on early Christianity.Create a review

Check it out at tobaccoroadsportscafe.com. Huge thank you to David Link, the NCSU Design School student that created our temporary site, our new site and the graphics for our blog. Thanks so much for your creativity and your patience. Another thank you to Karen Crowe, a server at Tobacco Road that is also a photographer. Karen took some quick interior shots for us that allowed us to finally get the site up. We'll try to get some more photos, including some food shots, in the coming weeks and get them on the site.
Note on Free Parking
There is a parking garage directly behind our building with plenty of spaces. Just ask your server or the hostess for a token to exit the garage for free.
New Year's Eve
We will definitely be open on New Year's Eve, so stop by, say hello and check out Tobacco Road. There is no cover, no dress code and we will be serving food until 2 a.m. (as with every other night).

ESPN's Mike Tirico at Tobacco Road This Tuesday
Friday, December 19, 2008
Check out the Tobacco Road Sports Cafe Menu
First off, I'd like to apologize for not posting updates more often. We have all been pretty busy, although that is still no excuse--nothing is more annoying than yet another blog that never seems to be updated. We promise to be better moving forward.
The good news is that the hard work is paying off and we are very close to opening. Our website is receiving the final touches and will include photos of the interior and a few shots of menu items. Speaking of our menu, we are proud to provide a preview here. Click here to download a printable version.
This menu was created by our executive chef, Juan Esparza and features some North Carolina favorites including Sweet Potato Fries, a BBQ sandwich and Cheddar Grits--as well as some fresh alternatives including numerous vegetarian items such as Cabbage Rolls, Jumbo Black Eyed Pea Cakes and our Hurricane Tomato Sandwich. Many of our menu items are made with North Carolina products, seafood and produce. Let us know what you think of the menu. Of course, we hope that you'll come in and try it for yourself.

Popayan, Colombia
Friday, July 31st, 2009I patched a flat on my rear wheel before leaving Silvia; our first flat in Colombia, caused by a pin. After a 1000m downhill run we stopped in Piendamo and were interviewed by Gustavo Alzate Zamora for Television Comunitaria. He treated us to lunch and a brief tour of Piendamo. We arrived here in Popayan in time to see the sun set on this nice old colonial city. I'm still feeling weak with little appetite.

You're a fashion role model and Internet style icon, what do you think others see in you that has inspired this?
I can only imagine it's because I'm willing to 'go there' and take chances. Getting dressed is really the only area in my life that I can say I am fearless; I'm terrified of so many things, yet am somehow not afraid to wear anything. For me, it's always been rather innate. As a 5 year old I was specific about the way everything fit, even a t-shirt.
What do you find is the biggest challenge for guys who want to look good, but don't know where to start?
Whenever it's out of their comfort zone, guys need a blueprint– they have an event: what do I wear? They're going to a black tie: what does that mean? They're going to meet their in-laws: how do I impress? I think that overall guys are interested in acquiring a wardrobe based on problem solving; finding something cool that fits into their lives.
All the young bloggers geek out about double monk strap shoes and tailoring– very old school, traditional elements. Cool doesn't necessarily mean avant-garde.
The thing that started it all was probably casual Friday; the thing that was supposed to be liberating fucked things up more than anything.
Are you now more aware of how you approach getting dressed every day?
I really don't think about what I'm going to wear until I jump in the shower. However, I feel that the stakes are higher each time I make a purchase or decision about what I'm going to wear, because there are several chances that it will be amplified.
I like to take risks and not everything I wear is going to be everyone's cup of tea. That also means I cart around gigantic overweight trunks, because I never know how I'm going to feel on a given morning. Airport check-in desks are the bane of my existence, absolute hell.
Has the amplified attention affected your self-esteem?
If anything, it's made my self-esteem worse… I am my own harshest critic. As much as I love to wear something that's a bit off, I'm terrified that I will be made fun of. It's a frightening conundrum.
I love clothes, but as the season approaches I always feel the need to add new things. It's natural because I have the opportunity to see more, which makes me want to buy more– a very expensive occupational hazard.
If I'm wearing something it's nearly always because I bought it. I've certainly accepted things along the way, but I never feel obligated to wear them. I have to intrinsically love something in order to wear it. I'm grateful to be constantly surrounded by many of the things I love.

I'd be curious what redeeming that does. Advertisement Advertisement "This was an accident to get....but a good one, lol!" says tgarreth. Who knows.

Toyota has launched the updated 2013 Innova MPV in India.
The new Innova is offered in five trims, E, G, GX, VX and Z, with each trim (except the new top-spec one) offered in either 7- or 8-seat configurations. The new top-of-the line Z comes with only captain seats in the middle row.
The new Innova facelift sees styling changes on the exterior and some added features in the cabin as well. Up front, the new Toyota Innova sports a large chrome grille with three horizontal slats, an all-new bumper with a revised design for the air dam, new fog lamps and chrome surrounds for the fog lamp enclosures. The rear receives minor changes in the form of a thick strip of chrome above the number plate, while an extra set of reflectors is incorporated on either side too.
On the inside, the Toyota Innova facelift comes with a beige colour scheme and improved fabrics. There is now a new infotainment system which includes a roof-mounted screen. The top variant will also get steering-mounted audio controls.
As for the mechanicals, they will remain unchanged, which means the Toyota Innova facelift will be powered by a 2.5-litre D4D diesel engine that puts out 102bhp and a 2.0-litre VVT petrol engine that puts out 130bhp.

07-14-2008, 11:41 PMTweety Matthews Worries 'Right' Will Turn New Yorker Cover into T-Shirt
On Monday's "Hardball" Chris Matthews was so upset about the New Yorker's cover, depicting Barack Obama in a turban and Michelle Obama toting an AK-47, because he feared "the right will be using that as t-shirt material within the next couple of weeks.
" Matthews, along with The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza and the Atlantic Media's Ronald Brownstein also insulted all the non-New Yorker subscribers who didn't get the joke as unsophisticated, or as .. snip
MATTHEWS: Well the problem, the problem, Ryan is and you're as smart as I am about this. Let's face it there are lot of people out there who want to believe he's a Muslim, who want to believe that he's too exotic to vote for, for a lot of ethnic reasons. They prefer to think of a guy named Osama Bin, not Osama, there I make the mistake. Barack Obama with a middle name "Hussein," as a Muslim, as someone who is exotic and un-American. It's useful to them to have this kind of art.
I just tried finding the shirt on Cafe Press (good luck searching through 400,000 designs) and ended up my fruitless search on this same Newsbusters page. I'm going to have to remember to make regular visits to Newsbusters. Their little video reports are hilarious and fill in the void that was left when the Half Hour News Hour went off the air. Everyone should make an effort to check out the current one!
LOL! NewsBusted is pretty good. That's a keeper. :D
May the FORCE be with you!
Sic Hacer Pace, Para Bellum.
Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

We are planning to deprecate the use by Firefox add-ons of the techniques described in this document.
Don't use these techniques to develop new add-ons. Use WebExtensions instead.
If you maintain an add-on which uses the techniques described here, consider migrating it to use WebExtensions instead.
Add-ons developed using these techniques might not work with multiprocess Firefox (e10s), which is already the default in Firefox Nightly and Firefox Developer Edition, and will soon be the default in Beta and Release versions of Firefox. We have documentation on making your add-ons multiprocess-compatible, but it will be more future-proof for you to migrate to WebExtensions.
A wiki page containing resources, migration paths, office hours, and more, is available to help developers transition to the new technologies.
To follow this tutorial you'll need to have learned the basics of jpm
To add a button to the toolbar, use the action button or toggle button modules.
Create a new directory, navigate to it, and execute jpm init
, accepting all the defaults.
Create a directory called "data",
mkdir data
and save these three icon files to the "data" directory:
icon-16.png | |
icon-32.png | |
icon-64.png |
Then open the file called "index.js" in the root of your addon directory and add the following code to it:
var buttons = require('sdk/ui/button/action'); var tabs = require("sdk/tabs"); var button = buttons.ActionButton({ id: "mozilla-link", label: "Visit Mozilla", icon: { "16": "./icon-16.png", "32": "./icon-32.png", "64": "./icon-64.png" }, onClick: handleClick }); function handleClick(state) { tabs.open("https://www.mozilla.org/"); }
Now run the add-on with jpm run
. The button is added to the toolbar at the top of the browser window:
You can't set the initial location for the button, but the user can move it using the browser's customization feature. The id
attribute is mandatory, and is used to remember the position of the button, so you should not change it in subsequent versions of the add-on.
Clicking the button loads https://www.mozilla.org/ into a new tab.
Specifying the icon
The icon property may specify a single icon or a collection of icons in different sizes, as in the example above. If you specify a collection of icons in different sizes the browser will automatically choose the best fit for the screen resolution and the place in the browser UI that hosts the button. Read more about specifying multiple icons.
The icon file must be packaged with your add-on: it may not refer to a remote file.
You can change the icon at any time by setting the button's icon
property. You can change the icon, and the other state attributes, either globally, for a specific window, or for a specific tab. Read more about updating state.
Attaching a panel
If you need to attach a panel to a button, use the toggle button API. This is just like the action button API except it adds a boolean checked
property which is toggled whenever the button is checked. To attach the panel, pass the button to the panel's show()
method. For more details on this, see the toggle button's documentation.
Displaying richer content
To create more complex user interface content than is possible with just a button, use the toolbar API. With the toolbar API you get a complete horizontal strip of user interface real estate. You can add buttons to the toolbar and also frames, that can host HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
The attenuation is not such a big deal but the raising might be because the default is for no pre-amp adjustment and no clipping prevention so the potential is there to raise the level to undesirable levels and even induce clipping.
The replaygain reference level is so low this will basically never matter.

I personally don't care one way or another, but would another solution be to turn on clipping prevention?
I should say almost never. I've never seen this on music I use, but its certainly possible. If you want, submit a patch.
interesting.i make sure my collection ALWAYS has album and track gain tags.but i don't usually use it at all but would prefer it off by default myself.
if people know what it is I'm sure they will investigate how to turn it on if needed.

ARROW KEYS! ARROW KEYS! You can use arrow keys if the scroll bar is too sensitive.
Thank you so much for your high ratings and rave reviews!
Wow this game/book was cool at first i didn't think i like it but i was wrong i loved reading all about it and the scale was my favorite part its like in a movie. the music was just right as well not to load or quiet and it also fit well.
Honestly, at first I found it dull, but as I actually started reading the blurbs of info provided, I found that suddenly I'd looked at the entire scale and read everything. Then I zoomed back out and my mind was BLOWN.
Informative, and actually incredibly enjoyable :D
1. Get unnecessarily close to the monitor
2. Drag the bar slowly across the screen
3. Trip
4. Then go back and actually appreciate this very informative little gadget ^_^
Very informative i give it 5 stars its a great way to learn some stuff and waste a few minutes

The Joseph Joseph Garlic Rocker is a great way of crushing garlic - just press the rocker tool onto the clove with a rocking motion to push the garlic through the mesh - it couldnt be easier or less messy. The curved handles allow you to scoop up the crushed garlic before placing it in the pan or bowl. The Joseph Joseph Garlic Rocker is easy to clean too - just run it under water or place it in the dishwasher.

Parathyroid cancer is a cancerous (malignant) growth in a parathyroid gland.
The parathyroid glands control the calcium level in the body. There are 4 parathyroid glands, 2 on top of each lobe of the thyroid gland, which is located at the base of the neck.
Parathyroid cancer is a very rare type of cancer. Men and women are equally affected. It usually occurs in people older than 30.
The cause of parathyroid cancer is unknown. People with a genetic condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia type I have an increased risk of this disease. People who had head or neck radiation may also be at increased risk. Such radiation exposure, however, is more likely to cause thyroid cancer.
Symptoms of parathyroid cancer are mainly caused by a high level of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia), and may affect different parts of the body. They include:
- Bone pain
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Fractures
- Frequent thirst
- Frequent urination
- Kidney stones
- Muscle weakness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Poor appetite
Exams and Tests
Parathyroid cancer is very hard to diagnose.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your medical history.
About half of the time, feeling the neck with the hands (palpation) can reveal a cancerous parathyroid tumor.
A cancerous parathyroid tumor tends to produce a very high amount of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Tests for this hormone may include:
Before surgery, you will have a special radioactive scan of the parathyroid glands. The scan is called the sestamibi scan. You may also have a neck ultrasound. These tests are done to confirm which parathyroid gland is abnormal.
The following treatments may be used to correct hypercalcemia due to parathyroid cancer:
- A drug called gallium nitrate, which lowers the calcium level in the blood
- A natural hormone called calcitonin that helps control calcium level
- Drugs that stop the breakdown and reabsorption of bones into the body
- Fluids through a vein (IV fluids)
Surgery is the recommended treatment for parathyroid cancer. Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a parathyroid tumor is cancerous. Your doctor may recommend surgery even without a confirmed diagnosis. Minimally invasive surgery, using smaller cuts, is becoming more common for parathyroid disease.
If tests before the surgery can find the affected gland, surgery may be done on one side of the neck. If it is not possible to find the problem gland before surgery, the surgeon will look at both sides of your neck.
Chemotherapy and radiation do not work well in preventing the cancer from coming back. Radiation can sometimes help reduce the spread of cancer to the bones. Repeated surgeries for cancer that has returned may increase survival rate and reduce the severe effects of hypercalcemia.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Parathyroid cancer is slow growing. Surgery may help extend life even when the cancer spreads.
Possible Complications
The cancer may spread (metastasize) to other places in the body, most commonly the lungs and bones.
The most serious complication of parathyroid cancer is hypercalcemia. Most deaths from parathyroid cancer occur as a result of severe, difficult to control hypercalcemia, and not the cancer itself.
The cancer commonly comes back (recurs). Additional surgeries may be needed. Complications from surgery can include:
- Hoarseness or voice changes as a result of damage to the nerve that controls the vocal cords
- Infection at the site of surgery
- Low level of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia), a potentially life-threatening condition
- Scarring
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you feel a lump in your neck or experience symptoms of hypercalcemia.

The Hague campaign had targeted the Redwood supporters' doubts in the final hours before the voting began. Mr Hague sent a personal message to selected Tory MPs with cuttings from the morning newspapers, condemning the pact as a "marriage made in hell".
Clarke supporters claimed the move would backfire, but it touched a raw nerve with Mr Redwood's Euro-sceptic supporters who had spent an agonising 24 hours since the alliance was announced deciding whether to vote for a Europhile, or desert Mr Redwood. In the end they refused to vote for Mr Clarke.
Michael Portillo yesterday joined Baroness Thatcher and Norman Lamont in the last push behind Mr Hague's campaign to stop Mr Clarke winning the leadership.
Both sides went all out for Mr Redwood's 38 votes from the second ballot, but the refusal of some former Redwood supporters to declare how they voted kept both sides guessing about the result until it was announced in Committee Room 10.
Mr Portillo, regarded by many as the "leader-in-waiting" until losing his seat at the general election, telephoned the Redwood supporters before they voted to urge them to back Mr Hague.
Lady Thatcher and the former chancellor, Mr Lamont, also joined in the last-minute telephone canvassing for the Hague camp. Lady Thatcher had lobbied MPs at Westminster on the eve-of-poll in the Commons tea room and the members' library. One of her admirers who voted for Mr Clarke said: "I had a message to ring her this morning. I did so, but she was out - and that was a great relief. I was not looking forward to a lecture."
The Clarke camp met early yesterday at their campaign headquarters in Abbey Orchard Street to plan the final hours, and to come up with an answer to Mr Hague's attack that the Clarke-Redwood alliance was "a deal not a solution", which proved their undoing. They decided to reassure MPs by comparing their pact to the successful right-left alliance between the Labour leader Tony Blair and his deputy, John Prescott.
Mr Clarke went on BBC Radio 4's Today programme yesterday to claim that an alliance of opposites had helped Labour regain power, and the line was soon being pushed by Mr Clarke's supporters in the members' tea room.
Mr Redwood's supporters were deeply unhappy about his pact with Mr Clarke. Iain Duncan-Smith, one of Mr Redwood's closest allies, was among those torn over which way to vote, according to his friends.
The Clarke camp used the results of the ballot of Tory constituency chairmen to try to emphasise that Mr Clarke had wider appeal in the country than Mr Hague. Mr Clarke won that ballot by 277 votes to 206.
As the Hague and Clarke campaign managers ticked off lists of promised votes, it was said that five had slipped away to Mr Hague because of "the bad chemistry" of the Clarke-Redwood marriage, while two second-ballot Hague voters went over to Clarke.
When the result was announced another thing became clear - many MPs had lied about their intentions.
