Never let the flame go out on your HomeWorx ceramic canisters with these drop-in refill candles. From HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin.
HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Set of 2 Candle Drop-In Refills is rated 2.9 out of 5 by 18.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ketra from THESE SMELL TOXIC!!! I ordered the Santa's cookies candles and they smelled aweful! The scent smelled nothing like cookies and was so strong it gave me a headache. I threw them out and will never order Homeworx/Harry Slatkin candles again.
Rated 2 out of 5 by SnoopySTL from Disappointing Both scents smell good although for such a small candle the wick puts out too much soot and the candle does not pool well with only the one wick.
Rated 1 out of 5 by skin diva from Cookie? I first purchased the Cinnamon Toast scent and loved it. No problems with even burning or pooling and the scent is delicious. As I thought cinnamon was so very good I decided to try the Santa's Cookies. MISTAKE. Just opening the box the odor was so bad I had to set it outside to air for a couple of days. When I checked again the smell was still overpowering. Either I got a set of refills from a bad batch or someone does not know what cookies smell like. I am exchanging this set for another set of Cinnamon Toast. So I would recommend this product to a friend, but not in the Santa's Cookies scent.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patwa from Only the nose knows Smells of sugar, cinnamon and snickerdoodle cookies everyday!
Rated 1 out of 5 by JaimeLynn from One Wick Isn't Enough Terrible tunneling with this candle due to only one wick. These candles came with 2 wicks initially (spring/summer); however, they were changed to one wick for the fall/winter scents. Why mess with a good thing?
Rated 2 out of 5 by ROYS WIFE from DISAPPOINTED IN THESE REFILLS! I ordered the Cookie refills and they do not pool. The wick goes into a topiary ball. These are going back, unfortunately. I love Harry's stuff, but something is wrong with these refills.


HighEnd Novum PMR MK II (Passive Multi-Vocal Resonator) | highend-electronics, inc. HighEnd Novum PMR MK II (Passive Multi-Vocal Resonator) – highend-electronics, inc.
The PMR MK 2 is a high-resonating system that overlays the musical harmonics.
the specific design with various angles world exclusive for the first time as a resonator in the PMR.
The latest development and further improvement of the original PMR is the PMR Premium Mk.2. The difference to the PMR is that the production is even more complex. The improved bronze alloy and extremely long cool-off phases give the PMR Premium Mk.2 even better resonance properties. But the biggest difference is that the PMR Premium has now a thread in the bottom and is mounted on a bronze stand for vertical use that makes the PMR Premium Mk.2 even more effective and indispensable for music lovers who wanted to experience their favorite music in a lifelike three dimensional way with realistic timbre and dynamics.
CLICK HERE to check out a gallery of PMR's in their owners listening rooms.
The PMR can be placed almost anywhere in the listening room. A comprehensive installation manual is supplied with each PMR. A telephone consultation is also included.
By overlaying the music with a full scale of multi-vocal overtones, more detailed sound is produced. The music gets more momentum and energy, the presentation of the instruments is more realistic, more solid and three-dimensional. The spatial imaging is increased in all directions. The result is again a natural and authentic sound experience with beautiful sounds.
Does the PMR fit in my system?
Yes! Since there are no hi-fi systems with perfect harmonics, the PMR will improve every hi-fi system!
Creation of a two-sand mold by means of a "primitive model"
"...we audiophiles tend to over-dramatize the effect of the slightest improvement by tweak… this is NOT one of those times. However esoteric the Novum PMR ll might appear, it's the real deal, folks. After my experience at Dan's, hearing the Novum PMR both in and out of his system, I went home and tried making my own version, investing some pocket change in a gong . Things didn't go as planned… if it worked at all, the effect was too subtle. However, it did give my rig a nice 'audio alter' focal point. Not so with the new Novum PMR ll Multifocal Resonator – whether by science, voodoo or nose to the grind stone audio technical knowhow, I can tell you that both the original and this new model of the PMR ll work wonderfully as reported. I'll have this PMR ll in my system from this point on!"
"...mich hat der Passive Multivokal Resonator in zwei Räumen in insgesamt drei Konstellationen voll und ganz überzeugt. Wer sich mehr Definition und eine luftigere Raumabbildung wünscht oder kleine Aufstellungsprobleme in den Griff bekommen möchte, sollte den PMR in seiner Anlage unbedingt einmal ausprobieren. Damit lässt sich je nach Ausgangslage mindestens ebenso viel, wenn nicht gar deutlich mehr erreichen, wie etwa mit der Investition derselben Summe in bessere Kabel..."
"...a 'mini-me' version to the bigger Novum resonator we all went gaga over. At roughly half the size of the standard PMR, the Initium serves as a perfect companion for placement around the room especially when space is an issue. Adds sparkle and dimensionality to an already excellent product..."
"... with the PMR Premium in the listening room, ST heard enhanced soundstage, focus and spatial resolution, better-defined bass, and greater vibrancy..."
"...when Clement Perry stated "The very ingredients that can fool one into believing real instruments are in the room" in his review of the PMR, I could not agree more. This is exactly what I felt within minutes of hearing this amazing device. Upon reading what Dan Secula and Ron Cook heard via this "singing bowl" did I realize that its effects are universal. Thus far, the PMR has acquitted itself from being some expensive tweak. It is far more powerful than some expensive front-end I've owned. Knowing this, attempting to label the PMR as a mere tweak is criminal." "If you're looking to upgrade an amplifier, DAC or even loudspeakers I dare you to give this device a listen first. For the serious audiophile and music lover who demands the best. The PMR is an absolute must. Highly recommended!"
"...I tend to believe the addition of a single PMR does as much to enhance the sound of a listening room as an entire arsenal of Ziplex or Acoustic System resonators." "...Hard to believe but true: the addition of the PMR makes music sound more truthful and realistic. After more than six months of having the PMR in my system, I cannot think of life without it. Removing it reduces the sensation that real instruments are performing before you on a wide stage... I cannot recommend it more highly."
"...I must concur the PMR is one of those all-too-rare products that does exactly as claimed! Suffice it to say, the improvements are NOT subtle and are easily discerned by even the most casual listener. Indeed, I have done A/B comparisons with a number of people, and on each (separate) occasion the effect of removing the PMR was obvious: folks simply cannot believe it. Bottom line, once you try a PMR your system, you will be hard pressed to listen without it. Highly recommended!"
"...as much as I enjoyed my system without the PMR, I know now what this device can do to help my system sound even better and I would choose to be without a PMR. In simple terms, the PMR just makes everything sweeter sounding and more organic in a very natural way without any noticeable downside." "With the PMR Premium we have a significant, expensive, beautiful tweak that I feel will improve the enjoyment of your music collection. My decision to audition the PMR proved make me feel wonderful considering I had no idea what the results would be. Highly recommended."

China is developing aircraft capable of reaching the US west coast in just 14 minutes, reports suggest. The vehicles will be tested in China's newest military-grade wind tunnel, which will be up and running by 2020.
A tunnel is an underground passageway, dug through the surrounding soil/earth/rock and enclosed except for entrance and exit, commonly at each end. A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods.
The most common cooling system maintenance (after replacing the coolant overflow tank) is to replace all the hoses and clamps in the system. This can either be done piecemeal (i.e. replace hoses as they fail) or all at once.

Bring a basket if you think it's your lucky day. Forage at night and you will be all alone when you stumble upon a bonanza. If you're hungry, put a pan on the fire and bask in the aroma of chanterelles as you saute them in butter. Feeling mercantile? Sell porcini to local aficionados for information that will help you find what you seek deep in the forest.
A look at the game, components and how to play, as well as final thoughts.
I think that Morels has some wonderful artwork. I loved the art for the various mushrooms, and the day and night cards have a wonderful feel to them. And like Rodiek mentioned in his review you can order hand crafted stick and pans to play the game. What do you do with these handcrafted sticks and pans you ask? Well you try to make as many matching mushrooms as you can. For example 4 porcini mushrooms. Each type of mushroom has a value so your decision making could be based on cooking only groups of valuable mushrooms.
In the game Morels you have several choices you can make each turn. It could be called a gateway "choice" game. The game starts by you laying out a certain number of cards in a row. Each turn some of these cards will go into a decay pile. When the stack of cards has been gone through the game ends. During your turn you can pick up cards that are "at your feet" in other words at the end of the line ready to go into the decay pile. But what if you don't want the mushrooms that are at your feet? You want the mushroom that is 4 cards up from your feet. That is where the sticks come in. You can sell a group of two matching mushrooms to purchase sticks. Each stick allows you to move one card up. One stick and you can pick up the third card from the end. Two sticks and you can pick up the fourth card from the end etc.
So on your turn you can pick up a mushroom, make a purchase of sticks, cook your mushroom (turn them into points) pick up all the cards in the decay pile, or place down a pan card.
A pan card? Well in order to turn your mushrooms into points you are going to have to cook them in a pan. Your mushrooms can also have points added to them by cooking them in butter or vinegar.
Back to the beautiful cards, there are day cards and night cards. If you pick up a card that has a moon on the back the mushroom is worth more, making night time picking seem like an excellent idea. Until you meet the destroying angel which makes you discard cards and stay keeps you with a low card hand for a number of turns.
There are also baskets in the game that allow you to have a larger than normal card hand. That's right this game has a limit of how many cards you can have in your hand. That decay pile looks great and has one of the cards in it you need! But picking up all three cards will put me over my hand limit….Oh no don't decay until I can get my hand limit up – sigh too late the card is gone.
I enjoyed the game a lot. This is a game of choices but can be played by ages 10 and up I would think. The concept of the night cards being worth more points may required some math from adults to children playing. The scariest card is the destroying angel which you can view above.
If you have about 30 minutes and want to play a fun family game with great art bring out morels. Just remember not all choices are as clear as night and day.
Morels is a lovingly crafted and designed game through and through. Your first interaction with the game will be its colorful, almost storybook like art of the woods. Then, if you're like me, you'll see the awesome handcrafted wooden pieces because you paid a few bucks extra. Then, you'll read the rules, which are concise, clear, and just playful enough to make it entertaining.
The game is a quick walk through the woods. Every turn, more cards will pass into the "decay," which means the game ends (when the deck empties). You take one action every turn and you never quite feel like you have enough actions to do everything. Should you cook? Grab that mushroom? Sell? Play a pan to stall? Gah!
The game plays a little differently every time based on how defensively your opponent plays and the order of the cards.
This is a light game, a quick game, but one full of variety and good, sound strategy. This has been very well received by my friends and I'm very glad to have it in my collection. If you enjoy 2 player games with a novel theme, give this a look.
We love this game. This is one of our "go to" games when we have a 1/2 hour & wish to play a game. We pick it up at Origins & have played it almost every week. It is simple to learn, but hard to win. I do like that you can mess with the other player by taking their mushrooms before they can or just worry about yourself & getting the higher score. It is not my normal type of game (eruo), but I enjoy playing it alot.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor mum on videotaping incident

By Karen Guregian | karen.guregian@bostonherald.com and Andrew Callahan | acallahan@bostonherald.com | Boston Herald
PUBLISHED: December 12, 2019 at 1:50 p.m. | UPDATED: December 12, 2019 at 5:25 p.m.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor repeated a familiar refrain during a conference call with the New England media Thursday when asked about the videotaping incident involving the Patriots.
It didn't matter whether he was asked for his general thoughts on the subject or about reports he was "livid" with the Patriots or whether the Patriots had reached out to him in wake of the incident or whether he believed their explanation, Taylor relied on some version of "no comment" to answer everything.
Asked why he felt it was in his best interest to refuse comment on an incident that has directly affected his team, Taylor pointed to Sunday's matchup with the 10-3 Patriots.
"Because this is a tough opponent right now," Taylor said. "And we're devoting all our time to making sure we're prepared. That's where all of our focus has been on."
Taylor indicated he had no regrets as to how the process went down, with the Bengals blowing the whistle to the league after reportedly noticing the camera from a Patriots TV production member was trained on the Cincinnati sideline.
Taylor did acknowledge the team does use hand signals, when asked how much they are a part of the game.
"I think like any team, we communicate visually and verbally depending on the environment we're in," he said.
Taylor insisted the matter, now in the hands of the league and awaiting a ruling in terms of sanctions for the Patriots, wasn't a distraction for his team in their preparation.
"Our team does a great job of focusing on what's important. Part of playing in the NFL is being able to eliminate distractions. They can come in a lot of different forms, injuries, anything that can happen off the field. I've been really proud of the way our guys have focused this week."
Van Noy nominated for NFL Man of the Year
Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy was announced Thursday as the team's nominee for this year's Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.
The league created the award to annually recognize an NFL player for his "outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on the field." Van Noy and his wife, Marissa, created the Van Noy Valor Foundation to assist initiatives related to adopted, foster and disadvantaged children. Van Noy was adopted as an infant, as were his wife's father and brother.
All 32 nominees, each representing one NFL team, will receive a donation of $50,000 in his name to the charity of his choice. The winner will be announced at the NFL Honors, a two-hour prime-time awards show aired the night before the Super Bowl.
Wynn missing
Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn missed practice Thursday because of a new eye injury, per the team's latest practice report.
Wynn did not appear on the team's report Wednesday, indicating he suffered the injury in the last 24 hours.
The Pats listed six players as limited Wednesday and added a seventh after their most recent practice, with Julian Edelman (knee/shoulder) getting upgraded to limited participation.
The Patriots will hold one more practice before traveling to play at Cincinnati on Sunday.

They are a symbol of home, of Americana, of simplicity. They are the classic way to finish off a meal — everyone saves room for pie — and if the menu offerings of McDonalds restaurants are to be trusted, we are all "Lovin' it". But the history of pie has been anything but easy.
You could say that pies date back as far as 9500 B.C. in Egypt, when the Egyptians began baking food into pastry shells in order to make them easier to transport. Evidence of these early pies can be seen on the walls of some Egyptian tombs, specifically that of Pharaoh Ramses. While often filled with sweets like honey, fruits and nuts, there were also "savoury" versions of pie which featured whole birds and vegetables. When this type of pie was prepared, the legs of the bird were left exposed through the pie shell to be used as handles.
The early Egyptians, did not enjoy the flakey, buttery crust we have today as the original pie crust was hard and not intended to be eaten; their crusts were considered a disposable baking dish. The majority of pies were made with covers, which were known as 'coffyns' (literally meaning basket or box) while the lidless pies were called 'traps'. Egyptians shared pies with the Greeks, who turned over their recipes to the Romans who then took the notion of stuffing and baking pastry and spread it across their empire.
Pies slowly made their way into England, around the 12th century. Where they gained popularity. This is when people likely would have started eating the crust as it was passed down to servants after the people of the household ate the contents. By the 16th century, English chefs were creatively baking live birds into pies to be served as entertainment a dinner parties or Entremet. If you've ever sang the nursery rhyme A Song of Six-Pence as a child, you were singing a song from this point in time.
That which made pie easy to transport in its early days in Egypt, also made pie a natural choice for food to be brought over by colonial settlers traveling to America. Though there is no evidence of pies being served at any of the first feasts after the pilgrims landed, pies have become a staple of Thanksgiving dinners and the preferred choice of dessert for many American dinner tables.
1. In the mid nineteenth century, Chef Marie Antoine Careme introduced the white fabric into the chef's uniform, believing that white symbolized cleanliness and professionalism. Most chef apparel remains white to this day.
2. The double-breasted chef's coat has a hidden purpose: as well as being distinctive and fashionable, it is also reversible, allowing for chefs to hide stains when presenting themselves.
3. The size of a chef's hat is equivalent to rank: a sous-chef's hat would be smaller than the head chef's, while that of a line worker's would be smaller than that of a sous-chef.
Believe it or not, carrots were originally purple.
Carrots used to be purple. Dutch growers in the late 16th century took mutant strains of the purple carrot, including yellow and white, and gradually developed them into the plump, crunchy veggie we have today.
The color of the twist tie on bread packaging actually means something? It signifies what day of the week the bread was baked on. The person stocking the shelves uses them to know whether or not the bed is too old to sell.
That Twinkies actually expire fairly quickly? When they were first introduced, they only had a shelf life of two days. By substituting chemicals for various dairy products and putting them in an air tight packaging, the shelf life has increased to 25 days.
That the color orange was names after the fruit? The word orange itself was introduced to English through the Spanish word "naranja", which came from a Sanskrit work which literally means "orange tree".
1. Tea is a natural source of fluoride that can help protect against tooth decay and gum disease, and has health benefits that help prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.
2. Anna, Duchess of Bedford, is thought to have established the British tradition of afternoon tea. She would become hungry during the afternoon, and asked her servants to bring her sweets and a cup of tea to tie her over between breakfast and supper. She began sharing this ritual with her friends, and afternoon tea soon became popular among the aristocratic class and eventually the working classes.
3. The Japanese tea ceremony, or the Chanoyu, is a time honored tradition that is dictated by the concept of hospitality. The bowl of tea is meant to be prepared "from one's heart," and everything from the host's physical gestures to the placement of tea utensils is directed at the guest.
4. In Tibet, it's common practice to mix yak butter and salt with your tea. The people of Tibet are known to drink up to 40 cups of this butter tea a day!
Milk can be used to clean patent leather: just dab it on, let it dry, and rub it off. Or try cleaning your leather goods with olive oil by dabbing it on, letting it set for 30 minutes, and then wiping off the excess.
Add lemon juice to your wash to help brighten whites and remove stains.

Talk about killer flavor: unless prepared correctly, this Japanese delicacy is lethal. The puffer fish's skin and certain organs contain tetrodotoxin, a toxin that is responsible for the puffer being named the second most poisonous vertebrate in the world. Consumption of tetrodotoxin can result in paralysis and asphyxiation. The preparation of this dish is strictly regulated in Japan, restricted to trained and licensed chefs who have undergone rigorous training. Fish anyone?
The prestigious "Michelin Star" rating has become synonymous with a luxury dining and culinary expertise. The Michelin Guide, however, had much more humble beginnings. Established by André Michelin of the Michelin Tire Company in 1900, the guide was originally published as a suggestion book of decent lodging and food in France, complete with information regarding filling stations and local gas prices. Expanded to include restaurant ratings in 1926, the guide awarded one star to "interesting" restaurants, two stars to those that were "worth a detour," and three to those that were "worth a special journey." Today, there are less than 100 three star restaurants in the world. Up for a road trip, anyone?
What do well-known Mexican dishes like enchiladas, chilaquiles, and tacos have in common (aside from being delicious)? They all count tortillas as their keystone ingredient. The tortilla, a thin flatbread made from corn or wheat, is a staple of Mexican and Central American cooking. Although the packaged flour tortillas we find at every grocery store are mainstream, the traditional tortilla has a history that dates back thousands of years.
Nowadays, tortillas have become the #2 packaged bread product sold in the USA, beating out muffins and bagels. Aside from traditional uses, tortillas have been reborn as an important element of Tex-Mex cuisine, and as an alternative to sliced bread. Deep friend or baked tortillas have found new life as tortilla chips, the quintessential party food.
Ready to look at tortillas in a new light? Try your hand at making your own, or incorporate store bought tortillas into delicious Mexican inspired dishes like this one from kitchen designer Rebecca Reynolds, which won Best Entrée in the Designer Cookoff at Dwell on Design 2012 this past June. Co-sponsored by Capital Cooking & American Standard, Capital's booth was turned into a live kitchen for spectators & media alike. This cookoff saw six designers and food/design bloggers go head to head in a battle of taste and presentation using Capital Cooking's Culinarian range. Heading one of the teams, Rebecca Reynolds, Owner of Culinary Kitchen Designs in Greenwich, CT, was joined by Lori Gilder, Interior Designer, Principal of Interior Makeovers in Beverly Hills, and Jennie Cook, local food advocate and blogger, owner of Plant Based Parties/Vegan Events in Los Angeles.
Rebecca Reynolds has been designing kitchens for 18 years. Growing up in an Italian family, cooking, eating and sharing food is a part of who she is, which is why she always endeavors to create a kitchen environment that encourages cooking, entertaining and sharing great times with family and friends. Rebecca believes that a kitchen is a very personal and intimate space, and always considers herself honored when hired to impart functional and fabulous changes in a person's home.
Note: At the #dwellcookoff, chorizo sausage was added – yum!
Prepare Tortilla Strip Topping: Brush all 4 tortillas lightly w/olive oil, sprinkle w/ garlic salt and cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Stack tortillas 2 at a time on top of each other and use rolling pizza slicer to cut into thin strips. Bake in oven until crispy and lightly golden. Watch carefully not to burn.
Sautée onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent in large nonstick saucepan (when garlic is softened smash with fork and stir in well).
Add soup, milk, chicken broth, chilies and salt and pepper to onion mixture.
Bring to a simmer and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from heat and add sautéed chicken.
Bake in a 13″ x 9″ casserole glass pan or similar, layer chicken mixture with cheese and top with tortilla strips for 25 minutes.
Serve in Mexican crisp tortilla bowls for beautiful presentation or dish (make your own or purchase at Mexican markets or your favorite local Mexican restaurant).
This dish is lovely topped with a tsp. of crème fraiche and a small scoop of fresh guacamole. Serve with warm bread and salad for a wonderful meal.

We had hoped to develop an idea that emerged from a #kbtribechat and make it work. What we got was a co-sponsor, American Standard Brands, who are working with us to ensure it's a success.
We hoped to get people interested in participating. What we got was an "A" list of participants – fabulous designers and bloggers – interested in food and fun. And, to spice it up, we have an ultimate foodie writer in the mix!
We hoped to attract the attention of the management of the show itself. What we got was incredible interest, support, ideas and contributions from the Dwell on Design Communications Department.
We had hoped to get some mentions with #kbtribechat. What we got was a Special Edition #kbtribechat held in the booth during the event.
Good luck to Brandon, Stacy, Rebecca, Nick, Lori and Emily! Can't wait to see you in action!

Ahhh Pizza! The combinations of toppings are endless right? (Kind of like all the choices you have on our cooktop configurations – shameless plug, sorry.) You've got everything from meat lovers to vegetarian and even dessert pizzas! Now what, might you ask, is the history behind this true North American favorite? We instantly thought "Well, Italy of course", but the story goes much deeper than that.
Recorded in history (dating back to 500 B.C.), we know that Persian soldiers would bake a flatbread on their shields and then top it with cheese and dates. We also know (thank you google, wiki and the gods of internet research) that Greece was baking unleavened bread and India was baking naan bread, both without toppings. So the question really becomes: What defines pizza? Considering tomatoes weren't introduced to Europe until the 16th century (a time when the pizza we commonly know today started to take shape), there is definite debate over whether the Persians "on-the-go" meal could be considered a pizza or not.
No matter what side of the story you stand on, the origin of pizza, as we know it, does hail from Italy (insert sigh of relief). In fact, ancient pizza ovens can be found all over Italy, some dating as far back as the days of Pompeii, before it's demise.
Fast-forward to 1531 and we have history supporting the first tomatoes being used on pizza. Until this time, Europe was convinced tomatoes were poisonous (they are a member of the nightshade family – commonly known for toxic plants); however, fear changed to love when they discovered how delicious tomatoes were over hot baked flatbread with cheese.
From there you could say the rest is history: The dish became popular with local peasants first, and then travelers started visiting the small neighborhoods to try this "pizzaioli". Eventually pizza traveled to America with Raffaele Esposito (a pizza maker from Naples) during the Great Migration.
As we enter into prime pizza season (the summer – time dust off your outdoor pizza ovens), we're pleased to present an interesting take on pizza crust from our chef sponsor this month.

Recipe: Flat Bread Dough – Perfect on the Grill!
Mix the flour, salt, and yeast together with dry fingers in a large bowl. Add the water and oil and combine until blended. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap set in a 70-80 degree environment for 4-12 hours. This is the primary mixing of the dough. Note: You can let it sit for only 3 hours, but the dough will need a longer secondary proofing for at least 45 to 60 minutes in a 70 to 80 degree environment.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour on countertop, then remove the dough from the bowl with a scraper or spatula and place on countertop. Sprinkle flour over the dough to help with the stickiness.
Take all the dough in both hands and gently knead the outer edges into the bottom to form a ball. Use your fingers to push dough up and into the center of the ball. You are folding the gluten strands into a cohesive round that will make it easier to form a pizza. As you gently push more dough underneath, the top will get firmer. This is a good time to stop. If the ball gets too sticky, roll the ball in flour. Do not over knead.
You should have one 14-ounce dough ball. Place it on an oiled tray and cover with a generous sprinkling of flour and a clean cotton towel, for 15 to 45 minutes.
1. Pushing into oval 2. Gravity stretch. 3. Two handed stretch. 4. Rest on countertop.
Take the dough ball in both hands and stretch it into a football shape. Set on a lightly floured countertop and push with fingertips sideways to push gluten strands into shape. Go all the way to the edge with fingertips.
Hold the dough over the countertop. Using the back of your hand, let gravity pull the dough into an elongated form. Make sure the thinner parts don't rip. Set it down on the countertop and manipulate the dough to even out the thick and thin areas.
With the back of both hands, place with fingers together in the center of the dough. Slowly pull them apart while opening your fingers. This will gently massage and stretch the dough in an elongated form.
Leave the dough on the countertop to rest for 3 to 5 minutes; do not let it sit for longer as it will begin to stick to anything. With this all-purpose flour recipe, there shouldn't be much "bounceback" (when the round or oval pizza dough contracts back) but there may be some.
All that's left to do after this is throw it on the grill – cook both sides to your desire, add toppings and pop in the oven until cheese is melted.
The Fact: Worcestershire sauce is made from dissolved fish The popular English sauce, is made from dissolved anchovies. The anchovies are soaked in vinegar until they have completely melted. The sauce contains the bones and all.
The Fact: The Popsicle was invented by an 11 year who kept it secret for 18 years. The inventor was Frank Epperson who, in 1905, left a mixture of powdered soda and water out on the porch, which contained a stir stick. That night, temperatures in San Francisco reached a record low. When he woke the next morning, he discovered that it had frozen to the stir stick, creating a fruit flavored ice treat that he named the "epsicle". Eighteen years later he patented it and called it a Popsicle.
The Fact: The most expensive coffee in the world comes from civet poop Kopi Luwak are coffee beans that come from Civet (a cat sized mammal) feces. The animals gorge on only the finest ripe berries, and excrete the partially-digested beans, which are then harvested for sale. Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $120 and $600 USD per pound, and is sold mainly in Japan and the United States, but it is increasingly becoming available elsewhere. Our question is: who discovered that it tasted good?
Chocolate does contain chemical elements that really can boost your mood and produce a euphoric feeling. Eating chocolate can give one the same feeling as falling in love (however fleeting it may be). This is probably why Valentine's Day and chocolate go hand in hand.

If you love the taste of garlic, push it through a garlic press before adding to the rest of your ingredients. If you like a milder taste, chop or slice it. Pressing garlic makes the taste of garlic much stronger because there is more surface area of the garlic exposed. Also, be sure to add garlic towards the end of cooking when sauteing so you don't burn it, which turns it bitter.
Soak diced or sliced raw onions in ice water for 15 minutes to make them less pungent – ideal when adding to salads or sandwiches and you don't want an overwhelming onion bite.
If a bell pepper has three bumps on the bottom it is sweeter and better for eating raw. If it has four bumps on the bottom, it is likely firmer and better for cooking.

Rink On
Long-neglected North End of Central Park will get a $150 million revamp
By Sydney Franklin • September 18, 2019
The Central Park Conservancy is taking on a massive landscape design and building project at the northern end of Central Park. (Rendering Courtesy Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture | Design and the Central Park Conservancy)
The northern end of Central Park is slated to get a major upgrade by 2024. Today the Central Park Conservancy and the New York City Parks Department unveiled its plans for a $150 million restoration of the long-damaged landscape surrounding the Harlem Meer.
Envisioned by the conservancy's design office, led by chief landscape architect Christopher J. Nolan, in collaboration with Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture | Design and Mitchell Giurgola, the project aims to repair the land, restore the local ecology, and revamp access to a new recreational facility that will replace the 53-year-old Lasker Rink and Pool. Built like a concrete box, the building has blocked views of the Harlem Meer towards the south and diminished the size of the 11-acre landscape since it opened in 1966.
The landscape surrounding the Harlem Meer will be completely restored, creating greater access to activities surrounding the North Woods. (Rendering Courtesy Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture | Design and the Central Park Conservancy)
The project is the final piece of the puzzle that is the conservancy's 40-year renewal plan to update Central Park. In 2016, the group completed restored the Ravine landscape next door to the Lasker Rink, and the Loch watercourse in the North Woods. Pedestrian circulation was improved, infrastructure was updated, and the deteriorating rustic bridges and stone steps that populated the landscape were rebuilt.
The concrete Lasker Rink and Pool will be replaced with a facility featuring large floor-to-ceiling glass doors, slender wood columns, and walls made of locally quarried stone. (Rendering Courtesy Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture | Design and the Central Park Conservancy)
The design team wants to build upon that project by further enhancing access to all the recreational activities available at this end of the park. By removing the rink building, they will build a new, sustainable, light-filled facility that shows off the surrounding landscape rather than obstructing it. The building will be embedded into the topography of the site along its eastern slope and feature a green roof that doubles as a pathway and gathering place. It will boast views of the park, pool, and rink below, which will be lowered slightly than its existing location and reshaped into an elongated oval to maximize its impact on the site.
During the summer months, the pool will be open to the public and during the winter, it will return to its roots as an ice rink. (Rendering Courtesy Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture | Design and the Central Park Conservancy)
All of these design moves, big and small, will allow for water from the Ravine to flow more easily into the Meer. Visitors will be able to observe this transition as they walk around a curvilinear boardwalk that extends over the freshwater marsh and across a series of small islands. Other upgrades to the project will include a new pool deck, bathrooms, locker rooms, and concessions area.
The intertwining boardwalk will become a skating platform as well when its cold out. (Rendering Courtesy Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture | Design and the Central Park Conservancy)
Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2021.

Silat Warriors: Deed of Death (Malaysia, 2019)
Areel Abu Bakar directorial debut Silat Warriors: Deed of Death is an action film that is about family.
Mat Arip (Fad Anuar) is a young man who spends his time gambling on illegal fights and drag racing. He owes a lot of money to the local organized crime gang. As a result, he steals the deed to his father's, Pak Nayan's (Namron), land. Mat Arip's sister Fatima (Feiyna Tajudin) and older brother Ali (Khoharullah Majid) become frustrated with him as they try repeatedly to get Mat Arip on the phone. The gang arrives at the house to let the family know that they plan on collecting on the debt owed to them. They have taken land from other families in the area and especially want Pak Nayan's due to the troubled past between the gang's leader and Nayan. Mat Arip is flippant about the family's situation, but Fatima and Ali grow increasingly worried. Due to the family's religious beliefs and traditions, Pak Nayan believes that everything will work out fine.
Malaysian film is known for it's themes of family and tradition, and Silat Warriors is no exception. There are flashbacks to the siblings being taught martial arts by their father, and voice-overs of their now-deceased mother stressing the importance of tradition to her children. All have grown up quite skilled, but older brother Ali is the best. As a result, Ali goes to find Mat Arip when he suddenly disappears.
The film's story is a rather basic one, but it translates well due to it's familiar themes. Silat Warriors takes a bit of time to get going. The first half is primarily exposition, full of extensive scenes of Mat Arip at illegal fights and racing against other young men. While some of it goes on too long, it effectively demonstrates how disaffected these young men are and their need for distraction from their everyday lives. However, the second half is where the action really amps up, putting the skills of the young actors on display. The gang attacks the siblings at three different locations. This part of the film jumps back and forth between scenes, beautifully showcasing the abilities of the cast, as well as the fantastic choreography of Azian Komeng. Watching Fatima defend herself against multiple gangsters in a market is especially fun. I wish she had more fight scenes in the film. Her scenes in the market also shine a light on how neighbors will protect and help each other. There are even bigger fights to come when Ali goes to save his brother and keep his family safe from the gang.
Overall, Silat Warriors: Deed of Death is a good film. It takes some time to build but patience pays off with some exciting fight scenes.
Silat Warriors: Deed of Death is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital On Demand from Well Go USA Entertainment.

There are so many reasons why Hawaii turns up as No. 1 on the list of top destinations for honeymooners year after year. For one thing, once you get outside crowded, touristy Waikiki, it's absolutely beautiful. Serene.
The air is filled with the fragrance of exotic tropical flowers, such as plumeria. Thick banyan trees gracefully drop their branches to the ground and grow upwards from there. The water is a pristine turquoise blue. The beaches are immaculate and uncrowded.
And you can try out just about any water sport you ever imagined. After all, surfing began here. The food is great, too. You can get just nearly anything you like, but preferred local delicacies come from the sea. Fresh mahi-mahi and opakapaka plucked from the Pacific Ocean and garnished with Hawaiian macadamia nuts are heavenly. Maui onions are sweet as can be. And the island's kettle-cooked potato chips are so salty and crunchy, they redefine the meaning of sinfully good.
It feels like another world, but it's the USA. And it's easy to get around, once you arrive. Don't plan to stay long in Waikiki; it's too urban, too crowded. The kind of place you should see once...and then depart for calmer shores.
Hawaiian Air makes it relatively easy to island-hop and even offers inter-island air-hotel-rental car packages. If you're going to be spending any amount of time here, I suggest you do that.
Four days on one island and three on another could be the perfect amount (if you can't stay a lifetime... which you will consider doing).
Definitely plan to rent a car, and go exploring. There aren't that many roads on the outer islands, so it's unlikely you'll get lost. But it is likely that you'll come upon scenes of exquisite beauty, where you'll feel compelled to pull over and simply marvel at how amazing nature can be when all her elements are in perfect balance.
You'll have to sleep sometime. And there are many, many places to choose from, in all price ranges.
Opened in Oahu in 2010 and perfect for honeymoon couples, this hip and hedonistic Hawaii hotel has a private man-made beach, restaurant by Iron Chef's Masaharu Morimoto, an outdoor movie theater under the stars, Crazybox nightclub, and a surfing boot camp. No children's facilities make it a haven for grownups.
A cool retreat from the wackiness of Waikiki, the Halekulani ("house befitting heaven") is one of the state's two properties to score Five Diamond awards from AAA for both lodging and dining. And it deserves them. It's had plenty of time to become perfect; this modern, airy refuge began welcoming guests in 1917. If you're prepared to splurge, consider the hotel's Halekulani Suite.
After your ride from the airport on the Big Island past sparkling black lava fields, you arrive at this oasis. You're greeted by a gentle Polynesian host, a fragrant lei is slipped around your neck, and you are offered a cool glass of fresh juice. Sufficiently restored, you then check in to this extraordinary place. If you golf, you'll find two of the island's finest courses here. The South Course is built on a lava flow and has spectacular views of the ocean and mountains. A new spa offers authentically Hawaiian treatments.
Built in an earlier time by the Rockefeller family, Mauna Kea is a spacious, elegant tropical resort with a fantastic beach. It's now part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, so you can use points to score a spot here.
The posh Travaasa Hana (formerly known as Hotel Hana Maui) is located on the far end of Maui. That means it's a very long drive from Lahaina or the airport. But what a drive it is! Through magical scenery, waterfalls, lush and fragrant tropical foliage -- and also hairpin turns. If you're determined to make the drive -- which is truly a once-in-a-lifetime romantic experience, go in a four-wheel-drive rental car.
High on Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List, this exquisite property features the most spacious rooms on the islands. And that, as they say, is not all. Modeled on a Hawaiian palace, the resort features reflecting pools, fountains and cabanas enhanced by views of the Pacific. The food's excellent. The staff bends over backward to satisfy your wishes. And you just happen to be on the best island for vacationers in the whole state.
Kauai may be the state's most beautiful island, and a honeymoon couple can best appreciate the drama of its topography from the sky. If you're game, plan to spend an afternoon helicopter flight-seeing over valleys and waterfalls, beaches and secluded coves along the spectacular Na Pali coast. Tennis, spa facilities, and river and ocean kayaking can all become part of your agenda.
Lush and luxe, the St. Regis is the island's most luxurious resort. Both Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler have called it one of the world's best. Few places rival the visual feast of Kauai, and the first St. Regis in Hawaii is an optimal setting to experience its glory.
With architecture and decor reminiscent of Hawaii's golden age during the 1920s and '30s, the Hyatt Regency Kauai stands on a glorious 50-acre oceanfront setting on Keoneloa Bay, part of the popular Poipu Beach district.
This Hawaiian treasure provides a luxurious setting with full-service amenities for honeymoon couples who want the tropics with no hassle. It boasts the largest single-level pool in the state, an hibiscus-shaped pool with a sunbathing island in the middle, gentle waterfalls, and hot tubs along the perimeter.
These two extraordinary properties are both under the Four Seasons flag. Frequent shuttles between them allow guests use of facilities at both properties.
The island's beachside resort, Manele Bay features multi-tiered gardens with waterfalls and an incredible view of the Pacific. Like its sister property upcountry, it's private and quiet (if you come from a city, you may find it overly placid and have to escape back to Maui). But it is gorgeous.
Set in the highlands, the Lodge at Koele recreates the ambiance of a baronial English mansion. Rare art, roaring fireplaces, fine architecture surround couples who truly want to get away from it all in sophisticated style.

What is Fusion Welding, and How Does it Work?
Have you come across the term fusion welding and wondered what it means? Like any other welding process, fusion welding is used to join two or more objects using heat. However, this welding process is unique since you can either use filler materials or not, and it does not require the application of external pressure. Assuming the two materials to be welded are made of similar materials, heat from the welding rig melts their surfaces, allowing the objects to fuse.
How Fusion Welding Works
From the definition, fusion welding joins edges of different materials by heating them to a melting point. Sometimes, a filler material is necessary if there are gaps in the joint you are making. The materials will undergo many phase transitions because the heating process creates a heat-affected zone (HAZ) on the material(s).
Fusion welding takes place when the molten base materials join with molten fillers. The heat that melts the materials can be applied to the joining zone or developed externally at the intended weld point. For instance, you can pass current via an electrical contact resistance between the edges of the materials you are welding together to develop the heat you need.
The Difference between Fusion Welding and Non-Fusion Welding
Whereas fusion welding must include heat to the melting point, non-fusion welding can occur under low heat intensity since it does not involve the melting of the parent materials. Additionally, no filler materials are needed in non-fusion welding. Examples of non-fusion welding include soldering, brazing, and pressure welding.
What are the Basic Types of Fusion Welds
Understanding different types of fusion welding processes are critical when discussing fusion welding. Based on the heat source, fusion welding processes can be categorized as follows:
1. The Arc Welding Process
Arc welding is among the preferable ways of a fusion welding process. True to the hype, arc welding connects two parts (or more) using an electric arc. The reason is that electric arcs generate heat levels that reach up to 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, making them ideal for fusing hard metals and materials. Additionally, arc welding is also suitable for offshore applications where you can perform underwater fusion welding. Commonly, arc welding processes include:
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW): Commonly used for welding non-ferrous and ferrous materials in nearly all positions.
Metal Gas Arc Welding: An electric arc is forming between the material and consumable wire electrode, allowing them to melt and fuse. Shielding gas is used to avoid airborne contaminants and oxidation for MIG welding.
Tungsten Inert Gas Welding: Non-consumable tungsten is used in creating an arc between the basal plate and electrode. To avoid oxidation and atmospheric contaminations, an inert shielding gas is used.
Plasma Arc Welding (PAW): In this arc, an electric arc is formed between the torch nozzle and electrode. The argon gas (plasma), usually in the chamber, is ionized by the electric arc.
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): It uses a continuously fed consumable electrode together with a flux. The flux prevents spatter and sparks and becomes conductive in a molten state, hence providing the current electrode and material path.
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): The process is also continuously fed consumable electrodes with flux; hence it serves as an alternative to SMAW.

2. Laser Beam Welding (LBW)
As the name suggests, this is a fusion welding process that uses a focused laser beam as its energy heat source. The high heat levels have precision rates useful for joining metals and polymers. It is a fast and automated process that uses light to generate heat.
You can perform an LBW in the air instead of a vacuum, unlike the electron beam fusion welding processes.
3. High-Energy Welding Processes
It is a fusion welding process that produces heat through light radiation. To fuse the different materials, you blast the radiation light to the materials' surface, making them become hot and start to melt. The workpiece will later merge as they gradually cool down.
These are typical examples of high-energy fusion welding processes.
4. Electronic Beam Welding (EBW)
The electronic beam welding process involves high-velocity electrons to join workpieces together. The electrons produce intense heat that enters the materials changing their solid-state to molten. EBW welds are deep and thin and can only be achieved under specific atmospheric conditions.

5. Friction Welding
When applying the friction welding technique, the different materials are joined together using mechanical friction. There are various ways to perform mechanical friction on aluminum, steel, and sometimes wood materials.
The process of mechanical friction is arduous. However, the heat you generate will soften both materials, creating a bond after mixing and cooling afterward.
There are various ways to perform friction welding, which determines the kind of joints you will have. These processes include:
Friction stir welding
Rotary friction welding
Friction stir spot welding
Linear friction welding
When applying friction welding, there is no need for shielding gas, flux, or filler metals. The process is ideal for applications that are considered lightweight and for non-weldable materials like some forms of aluminum alloys.
6. Resistance Welding Processes
It is among the fastest fusion welding options you can apply, making it a preferable choice for the automotive industry. Today, there is two resistance welding process. These are:
Resistance spot welding
It works by producing heat on two electrodes. However, the bonding process depends on the properties and thickness of the materials. The process confines the welding voltage to a single spot when fusing the different workpieces.
Resistance seam welding
It is a form of spot welding that includes a sequence of joint-alternating nuggets. It uses shifting disks to replace the spot welding electrodes to join the materials together.

Where is Fusion Welding Used?
Today, there are many uses for fusion welding, including the manufacture of megastructures like ships, airplanes, welded pipes, bridges, automobiles, and pressure vessels. Fusion welding is also inherently used for sealing explosives besides other functions.
Because fusion welding uses a good heat source, you can fuse a thick section of a workpiece with relative ease. Primary uses of fusion welding include:
Fusing Metals
The primary difference between fusion welding and soldering or brazing is the high heat process involved. Brazing and soldering do not melt the base metal, while fusion welding must sometimes include a filler material.
When different parent metals are subjected to high heat intensities, the increased temperatures create a molten state where they join and form a weld bead when it cools. The result can be a stronger joint than the parent materials.
In some instances, you can use pressure to make welds either on their own or together with a heat source. When fusing metals, you can use a shielding gas to prevent the filler metals or the molten joint from getting oxidized or contaminated.
Joining Polymers (plastics)
Heat is an essential requirement when joining to or more plastic materials. However, it does not apply to solvent welding because the use of adhesives is applied. The process takes place in three vital stages.
Preparation of the surfaces. It includes cleaning and drying.
Application of heat and pressure. It marks the bonding process that forms total coalescence.
Cooling the materials to create the fusion. There can be particular room for cooling, depending on the parent materials. However, because cooling is also fast, this process is merely applicable.
When joining plastics together, you can use either internal or external heating methods. Polymers are generally weaker than metals. Therefore, less heat is required.
See also: What is Peening in Welding?
Fusion Welding for Joining Wood Materials
Wood welding also uses heat that is generated from mechanical friction to join different materials. The materials are subjected to immense pressure followed by a linear friction movement to create the heat that bonds the workpieces firmly.
The process is fast and allows the joining of wood materials without using nails or adhesives within seconds. It is also a better way to preserve the wood design while strengthening the final workpiece.
Advantages of Fusion Welding
Easy use of filler material when filling a large gap when joining different workpieces.
The initial shape of the materials does not matter. Hence there is no need for external pressure.
No need for edge preparation or design as they will affect the heat penetration.
Fusion welding allows more than two-parent materials to be joined firmly together.
The fusion welding process is fast and straightforward, making it the best solution for industrial use.
Disadvantages of Fusion Welding
It is difficult to join metals with different melting points.
Profound heat-affected zones (HAZ) are evident on welded components. HAZ is the weakest part of a welded workpiece.
There are cases where the mechanical properties of the workpiece materials get compromised due to intensive heating. Such instances occur when using filler materials and different metals.

FAQs: What Is Fusion Welding?
How is fusion welding different from solid-state welding?
Solid-state welding requires close contact of two clean metal surfaces to form a metallic bond. The advantage of solid-phase welding over fusion welding is that you can achieve it in temperatures as low as room temperature.
The bonding process takes place either by deformation or limited deformation by diffusion. The diffusion (atomic movements) will make new bonds between the atoms of the two-parent materials.
What is electric arc welding?
Electric arc welding involves joining two or more different metals. The process can be achieved with or without filler material and external pressure application.
What are the basic principles of fusion welding?
Fusion welding primarily uses a heat source to generate sufficient heat necessary to maintain a molten pool. You can find various heat sources, including a gas flame or electricity. However, not all forms of fusion welding require heat. For instance, pressure welding can create permanent bonds at lower or room temperature.
What is a fusion welding zone?
A fusion zone is a section of the parent material that is left after the welding. A fusion zone is marked by the beginning and ends of the coalesced workpiece. All fusion zones possess a chemical composition of the mixed substrates you are welding together. In instances where you use a filler material or gas shielding, the fusion zone will have all these elements in its composition, making it different from the parent materials.
Having all the information about what fusion welding is will make one understand when to apply the ideal processes for the kind of welding you have. Fusion welding is fast and suited for fusing two or more dissimilar materials of any weight. The various fusion welding techniques can be applied underwater, air, and in a vacuum. It is diverse and adjusted to accommodate commercial use across many industries.
Fusion welding leads to stronger bonds because the different materials join to form a homogenous workpiece. In some cases, the bonding section results in a stronger bond than other areas of the parent materials. It is inherent that fusion welding is suitable for creating permanent bonds, thereby making firm and reliable megastructures.

As home prices skyrocket on the North Fork, it's a seller's market

The sales numbers for North Fork real estate in the third quarter of 2020 are out, and they're pointing in one direction: Straight up.
For the first half of the year, uncertainty around COVID-19 and restrictions on in-person house showings made for a slow market. But over the summer, it came booming back: The average sales price on the North Fork increased 17% to $715,485, the highest third quarter average price in more than five years, according to the Third Quarter 2020 Residential Market Report for the Hamptons and North Fork from Brown Harris Stevens (which recently merged with Halstead).
A new analysis by Town & Country Real Estate also shows "tremendous" growth, reporting that total home sales volume on the North Fork grew 38% and median sales prices rose 18% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year.
"I think it's just the beginning of what you are going to see," said Judi Desiderio, CEO of Town & Country Real Estate and author of the report. "Quarter four is going to be off the charts. That's how much we have in the hopper that is going to close."
Behind the numbers is a pandemic-driven influx of New York City residents looking for more space, both for safety reasons and because they are working and schooling from home. But buyers do not fit a single profile, said Marianne Collins, licensed real estate salesperson with Brown Harris Stevens in Mattituck. Some are adding second homes, others have relocated permanently. And some are a sort of combination, said Collins: "There is a demo of people planning to be out here at least for this year or this school year, and depending on what happens with the virus or the vaccine, they may transition back."
Desiderio said she sees the influx of new people as exciting for the area. "I am embracing it," she said. "I am seeing young families coming out, and they want to be part of the fabric of the community. They are just going to add color to what we have. Every time they open a new shop or restaurant or art gallery, it brings life and excitement. I know some people are nervous about change, and that's human nature. But sometimes change is good."
Nearly all homes on the North Fork sell for under $2 million, and the biggest proportion (38 percent) of homes sold over the summer were in the $500,000 to $750,000 range, according to the Brown Harris Stevens analysis. But the category with the greatest growth was higher-end homes priced from $750,000 to $1 million.
Mattituck (which includes Laurel and Cutchogue) saw a huge 83% increase in homes sold, Desiderio said. But she noted that this might be simply due to greater inventory rather than buyers favoring Mattituck over other hamlets.
Throughout the area, inventory is "ridiculously low," said Desiderio. She said that the North Fork has gone from having up to 400 homes for sale to only about 160 homes currently on the market, according to data from the real estate platform One Key MLS. "It's the best seller's market I have seen in my 30 years of being a broker," she said.
Low inventory also means buyers are more willing to invest in homes that need upgrades and renovations, meaning business is booming for local builders and contractors.
"It's an excellent time to sell," Collins said. "If you had thought about selling but were thinking maybe it's next year, I would say do it. And if somebody is starting to make plans for upgrading or downsizing, it's a good time to think about it."
Even if you're happy in your home, the agents said, the rapidly changing markets mean it's a great time to check in with a knowledgeable broker and your accountant and get a sense of how your home value might have changed and whether you are in a position to trade up.
Predicting the future is a risky business in such an unprecedented year, said Collins; that said, she agreed it's likely the area will see even more growth in the last quarter of the year. "I think there is still a lot of value to be had here and room for growth. Although," she added in true North Fork fashion, "hopefully not too much growth."

Polite notice: In keeping and empathy with the great American writer, Annie Dillard - please don't use Wikipedia to find out information about me, as it's not accurate. Apply to me for any particular information, please. Our website is as accurate as it gets. Thank you for even looking us up.
Unfortunately, I am unable to enter into any correspondence regarding unsolicited poems forwarded to me, ditto small anthologies, and especially, large ones. Also, I have little idea how anybody gets published, including me; and much as I would like to help, I haven't got the time.
Likewise, I am unable to view or comment on unpublished novels, short stories, long sagas, song lyrics, lost treasure maps, which is an oxymoron – like fun run; prototype designs for potato peelers, or party manifestoes. Basically any written material you have sweated over I can not comment on such.….But I do wish you well. Write your heart out…and see where it gets you.


Hunting doves with a bow may seem impossible, but the sheer number of opportunities make it one of the best birds to try take on the wing. Doves are very fast flyers, and taking one down while pass shooting is very very difficult, but when you put the right plan together, you can shoot enough to feed a smallish human if they are not too hungry.
The key is to hunting doves with a bow is to shoot them as they back peddle to land. Two things happen as that dove reverses wing direction to land. The first is obvious – the slow waaayyyyy down. Common sense says a slower moving target is easier to hit, and common sense trumps. The second thing that happens is mentally they have committed to land. This commitment to landing means you now have an opportunity to SLOWLY come to full draw and shoot. They are still moving a little faster than you think, and it will take a while to get your lead right, but a dove committed to landing is the target you are looking for when hunting doves with a bow.
The #1 tactic you will employ when hunting doves with a bow is spinning wing decoy. I like to use a couple stationary doves you pin on branches as well, but to get the doves in the perfect spot, nothing draws and positions them like a Mojo or similar motorized dove decoy. The second step is to play the wind. Doves like to land into the wind, just like any bird or airplane. Simple physics. They key is to find the best spot to set your dove decoy.
Hunting doves with a bow in the evening means sitting near water. A water hole they visit just before dark is a great bet. The best waterholes have a ring of dirt around them with very little vegetation near the water. You need to set your decoy high enough for approaching birds to see it from a distance. A Small hill may do the trick, or you may use a piece of a dead tree to position the decoy. Approaching doves need to see the decoy from a distance to alter their course and play the wind if they are to land by your decoy.
Tweak and refine your set when hunting doves with a bow until you have it perfect. As the evening progresses, do not be satisfied until you are set up for gimme shots. I am talking the birds coming straight at you, and back peddling to land 5 to 15 yards from your position. Keep tweaking until almost all the left and right factor is gone from your leads, and you are taking straight on shots at point blank range. Now you will start killing doves.
Field sets for hunting doves with a bow can be trickier, but as long as you are shooting you are having fun. My best advice is to watch the field, and mark are spots the doves prefer to feed. This will put you where many of the birds want to land ,and that is a great start. Watch their direction of approach, and set up and tweak your set in that area like you do at the water. It's best right away till mid morning, but you can hunts fields all day long. Just make sure you head for the water for the last couple hours for maximum success.
Excecuting the shot when hunting doves with a bow is fairly simple. The shot is the most exiting part of hunting doves with a bow, and you will get lots of them. You are gonna shoot more in one night than 10 years of deer hunting, and when you mess up you try again a few minutes later. Joy by sheer quantity of arrows. The key is to maintain a low profile until the birds commit. Once they start to back peddle you can slowly rise and draw for the shot. I like to lie on my back with my bow on my belly, and do a sit up while drawing as soon as the birds commit. Keeps me low to the ground so the birds commit while quickly rising to an effective shooting position. Practice at home so your limb tips don't hit the ground while hunting doves with a bow. You will be amazed at what the birds will let you do, may think me a liar until you get to full draw that first time, and the birds don't react at all.
Gear for hunting doves with a bow, like any traditional pursuit, is always simple. A spinning wing decoy, any camo duds (not crucial) A $50 reecurve, at least 3 Johnny Flu Flu's, and some 6 inch Snaro bird points. The Snaro bird points give you an incredible margin for error, and easily disable the small doves with any contact. A Snaro bird point will never dive under the grass when you shoot, making lost arrows a thing of the past, and when those big wire hoops snipe your first aerial kill hunting doves with a bow, you will realize what an incredible wing shot you were bred to be, leaving you hooked on wing shooting doves with a bow forever. hunting doves with a bow is something I look forward to every year, and hunting doves with a bow can be enjoyed by anyone.

Q: Passive voice or Active voice? everybody. Could you tell me , what form of 'elect' here? Of 19 British prime ministers (elected) or (were elected) in the 20th century.

A: Passive voice is applied to the subject of the sentence when the subject is not the doer of the action.
In this sentence fragment, the prepositional phrase as written negates the prescribed use of passive voice since the subject of the sentence is not identified. If the phrase included a subject, then passive voice would apply:

Of 19 British prime ministers who were elected in the 20th Century

If the meaning is a statement of 20th-century prime ministers as the subject, then rewrite to eliminate the preposition and use the passive voice:

Nineteen British prime ministers were elected in the 20th century.

If the construct is relevant to additional information in the complete sentence, then this prepositional phrase would be active voice either at the beginning or the end of the sentence:

Of 19 British prime ministers elected in the 20th century, [rest of sentence].

or

[rest of sentence] of 19 British prime ministers elected in the 20th Century.

A: Elected is the past-participle form of elect being used as a post-positive adjective; qualifying the noun prime ministers.
The passive voice of this would be been elected but expressing passive voice like that in the same way doesn't work.
You need to use a relative pronoun like that or which and bring in a new clause.

Of 19 British prime ministers that were elected in the 20th century
Of 19 British prime ministers that have been elected in the 20th century.

A:
... of 19 British prime ministers (elected) or (were elected) in the 20th
century.

"Elected" is a past-participial clause modifying "British prime ministers".
Past-participial modifiers are 'bare' passives, as evident from the admissibility of a by phrase,
They are called 'bare' passives because they lack the usual "be" or "get" markers.
Semantically, such clauses are similar to relative clauses: compare "... of 19 British prime ministers who were elected in the 20th century".

Q: Rescue won't rescue in Rails I'm writing a simple app that processes POSTed CSV files and am testing it against invalid input (e.g. non-CSV files).  I'm using the CSV::Reader.parse command to parse the CSV in a controller method, as follows:
@parsed_file = CSV::Reader.parse(params[:file]) rescue []

However, despite the rescue statement, I'm still getting an uncaught CSV::IllegalFormatError when improper submissions are entered.  What am I missing here?
Thanks!

A: You need to pass a file handle to parse:
@parsed_file = CSV::Reader.parse(File.open(params[:file], 'rb')) rescue []

A: I ended up having to monkey-patch the CSV::Reader class to properly handle the exception. I'm still not sure why it wasn't being caught in the controller, but here's the code I ended up writing:
class CSV
  class Reader
    def each
      while true
        row = []
        parsed_cells = get_row(row) rescue 0
        if parsed_cells == 0
          break
        end
        yield(row)
      end
      nil
    end
  end
end

Note the rescue 0 after the call to get_row, which isn't present in the original. Definitely an ugly hack, but it'll serve my purposes.
If anyone can explain why the exception wasn't being caught in the controller, I'll gladly give them points for having the correct answer.

A: It sounds as if your CSV::IllegalFormatError isn't properly subclassing RuntimeError. Or alternatively RuntimeError has been changed to not subclass StandardError.
Only Errors which subclass StandardError are caught by default rescue blocks. To test this theory try
@parsed_file = begin
  CSV::Reader.parse(params[:file])
rescue StandardError
  puts "I caught a StandardError"
  []
rescue Exception => e
  puts "I caught #{e.class}->#{e.class.superclass}->#{e.class.superclass.superclass}"
  []
end

This would explain why I (and probably others) can't repeat this problem.
Whatever the case using Exception explicitly should work, and will be cleaner than a monkey patch.
