Savora Garlic Press
Description: The Savora design team's research found that the average gourmet recipe calls for five garlic cloves. With this in mind, the Savora Garlic Press has a large capacity press capable of crushing multiple cloves (or one elephant garlic clove) at once. To accommodate this increased pressure, the press underwent intensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure high performance. The FEA led the team to design a cast plate on the Savora press, which is stronger than traditional stamped plates, and can withstand 300 pounds of pressure. The cast plate features more than 60 cutting edges to efficiently crush garlic. The two-pivot design gives users a six-to-one mechanical advantage making it easy to use, while the striking body remains ridged under pressure. The press has a unique standing design and a cast metal handle for durability. All attachments are easily removed and dishwasher safe. The press comes with a clear cap that can hold a tablespoon of garlic while keeping oils off cutting boards and countertops.

The Original Zeroll® Ice Cream Scoop has had no substantial design changes 1935 and is still manufactured in the USA. The beauty and utility of the Zeroll® Ice Cream Scoop is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art's Permanent Design Collection in New York City.

First of all, read the previous post re the use of the word literally. Very funny. Many people use this word incorrectly and it can make you look pretty silly when you do – so read up.
Now, onto the article here, by Jason Wilde. Some very interesting interviews. He talks about specific players who appear to lean one way or the other on the Favre/Rodgers thing. Not really too surprising I guess, but interesting. He says that generally the younger players prefer Rodgers and some of the veterans want Favre back. He quotes James Jones as saying outright that he has a better relationship with Rodgers, Jennings as remaining neutral and Driver being clearly happy Favre may return. But the most interesting quote was from Charles Woodson. While Wilde's take is that Woodson is "torn", my guess is that he is not, that he is squarely in the Favre camp but he was being diplomatic at the end of the quote just in case Rodgers is the guy. Here it is, you decide:
"My feeling is, he never should've retired. I don't believe in being pressured to retire. This is Brett Favre. You don't pressure Brett Favre into retiring. So you wish he never had retired," Woodson said. "(Then again), my opinion is, OK, we've seen Brett play, we know what he can do. We've seen him have bad years, bad games, too. We haven't seen anything of A-Rod for a whole season. So how do we know what we gain or what we lose unless we see him?
"I've seen enough of (Rodgers) in practice to know he can play. Now is just the thing of going out and being a consistent. You don't know until you get further down the line, but I think he's going to be all right."
One important note that backs up my belief that Woodson is a Favre guy is that at McCarthy's press conference on Monday night when it was announced Favre had filed, a reporter (possibly Wilde) asked about whether the team was divided. The reporter asked "with players like Charles Woodson chanting 'Brett Favre, Brett Favre' in the background, do you have concerns the locker room will be divided?" Now, I wouldn't put it past Charles to have done this in a joking way, perhaps with Rodgers around, but I get the sense that he feels Favre was pressured into retirement and it wasn't right. I also believe that's how Driver and probably a good number of others feel. It makes me wonder a little bit about how these other possible supporters of Favre view Thompson overall.
While the present divide is concerning, I don't think it will take down the team, unless the decision re who will start is dragged out until just before the season starts. I have confidence in Mike McCarthy's leadership skills and believe he will be able to get the team to rally behind whoever is named the starter.
UPDATE: Thanks to Aaron at cheesheadtv.com for this correction:
The NYT made it pretty clear that Woodson's chant was a joke…
News of Favre's reinstatement request spread quickly among Packers players. As a gag, the veteran cornerback Charles Woodson started a "We Want Brett" chant as he walked by the sizable group of reporters awaiting McCarthy's postpractice briefing.
"Just having a little fun," Woodson said at his locker. "I knew you guys would get a kick out of that."

Herman Miller
Herman Miller® Nelson™ Swag Leg Armchair
George Nelson
This armchair is part of a collection that was born of George Nelson's desire to create furniture with a sculpted leg, and he had very specific ideas about how that leg would take its form. He wanted the base to be gracefully curved, crafted from metal, machine formed and prefinished, as well as easily assembled and disassembled so it could be shipped conveniently and made more affordable. Swaging, the use of pressure to taper and bend metal tubes, proved to be the smartest method for producing these legs, and it is this process that lends its name to Nelson's distinctive design.
For the chair's seat shell, Nelson combined separate seat and back pieces to form a sculptural shape that fits and flexes with the body. A slit between the seat and back helps prevent heat build-up. Wide, flat arms provide a comfortable place to rest forearms. Placed at a desk or situated around tables in dining areas or conference rooms, this timeless, distinctive chair fits today's needs as it did when it was first introduced in 1958.

It is with deep regret that I report one of our own ' Stoker' , Lt Cdr Jim Corrigan, passed the bar on November 2nd 2017.
Jim messaged me in October or so offering me a model to finish of a corvette but sadly never got back to me . He had let me know that he was on his last watch but I didn't realise how close the end of that watch was.
RIP Jim, always one of the good ones.

Cash rents for prime farmland held tough for 2014 despite lower corn prices, but that's about to change.
"Rents that will be negotiated this summer and fall are likely heading lower for 2015," predicts Gary Schnitkey, University of Illinois ag economist. The obvious reason: Today's average cash rents are causing a cost-price squeeze in the wake of the crash in crop prices. "Farmland rents will likely be $10/acre lower in 2015 to start a three-year adjustment process," he says.
Current average rents for Illinois are $280/acre with extreme cases of $500. Three years from now, Schnitkey expects average Illinois rents to be $55/acre lower, at about $225. "Everyone wanted to see if $4 corn was real," he explains. In fact, today's futures prices have corn beneath $4 for some contract months--the lowest such prices in several years.
Hear Dr. Matt Roberts of The Ohio State University share his 2014 harvest outlook on AgriTalk radio:
The cash rent story is the No. 1 takeaway from Schnitkey's analysis of 2015 Illinois crop budgets released this week. Expected returns over costs aren't enough to pay for average cash rents, let alone provide a return to operators, too. For high-quality central Illinois farmland, land and operator returns for 2015 come to $251 for corn following soybeans (lower still for corn following corn), but current cash rents for high-quality land in central Illinois are $295. At this cash-rent level, producers would show a loss of $44/acre.
These numbers suggest that something has to give.
"Just as cash rents rose in recent years as a result of increases in operator and land returns, now cash rents should decrease because of lower return projections," Schnitkey says.
The 2015 budgets project corn prices of $4.20/bu., identical to 2014, and 196-bushel yields, for a gross return of $833/acre. On the bright side for producers, direct costs of $384/acre are projected to be lower than in 2014 due almost exclusively to the expected decline in fertilizer prices. Nutrient costs are projected to be $18/acre lower in 2015 than this year, and a $48/acre drop from 2013.
Schnitkey forecasts no change in pesticide costs. He foresees a $5/acre bump in seed costs. Machinery costs are also projected somewhat higher for 2015.
The Illinois budgets also show that corn, despite projected losses, still bests soybeans for 2015 by $26/acre. Expected soybean prices for 2015 are $10.50/bu., with yields of 57 bushels/acre, for a return of $225. Because both corn and soybean returns are expected to be negative given his assumptions, Schnitkey projects a reduction in both corn and soybean acres for 2015.
But the averages don't tell the entire story because each farmer's situation is different. For example, this spring, some farmers forward-priced a percentage of their anticipated 2015 corn at about $5/bu. At that level, returns would be $149/acre higher from crop revenue alone, thus providing a profit, even at 2014 average cash rent levels. In addition, the budgets only use trend yields, meaning yields above those levels would boost returns.
Meanwhile, new Iowa State University budgets show that corn following corn returns show a much larger hit for 2015, with projected negative margins of $121/acre for Iowa, compared to a modest $5/acre loss for corn following soybeans. Soybeans following corn show a negative $21/acre margin.
Production costs are projected at $4.99/bu. for corn following corn, $4.28 for corn following soybeans and $10.92 for soybeans after corn, factoring in all costs. Cash rent is projected at $276/acre.

Out of the ashes: Searching for hope in Benghazi
Can an ambassador's death be the seed of a better future?
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. So what happens when the martyr whose blood is shed happens to be a diplomat? The murder of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens in Benghazi, Libya was a tragedy on a number of levels—certainly for his family and the field of international diplomacy but most poignantly for the people of Benghazi. Stevens died with and for them, and tragically at the hands of some of them.
The death of Stevens, along with three other consular staff and security personnel, is now being investigated. How did U.S. and Libyan security fail so badly? Was the attack an act of irrational violence or a coordinated terror strike hiding behind Muslim rage? These are practical and strategic concerns.
But the incident in Benghazi is haunted by other issues. The gloom of the late Samuel Huntington and his "clash of civilizations" hangs over Benghazi like a moldering ghost of realpolitik past. The agit-prop video Innocence of Muslims has done its intended worst, and the Arab world has erupted in violence and rage. How can the West ever hope to find common ground with a culture that responds so violently to what the West regularly tolerates as unpleasant, even vile, but as a protected exercise of free speech?
The president's decision to help drive Muammar Qadhafi from Libya, which neutralized regime forces and prevented a bloodbath in Benghazi, is being second-guessed, and the concept of an international "responsibility to protect" from genocide and widespread human rights violations undermined. How can we build a future together with a people that repays U.S. participation in the NATO air campaign which secured Libya's freedom with the murder of one of our nation's best and brightest?
The gulf between the Arab world and the West can seem insurmountable, but amid the mayhem and seething resentment there are signs of hope.
The average citizens of Benghazi were appalled at the destruction of the American consulate and the killing of the ambassador. It was they who stumbled upon his near lifeless body in the burning consulate, they who carried him to a private car, and they who rushed him to a hospital where other Libyans struggled for hours to revive him.
Just a few days after Stevens' death, everyday Libyans took to the street and, at no small risk to themselves, drove the militia suspected of the attack out of Benghazi, disarming its members along with a number of other unofficial militias.
The death of Ambassador Stevens could be a turning point. How this incident and further inevitable stumbles are handled will decide whether it is a turn for the better or the worse. The way ahead seems obscured just now by broken pavement stones and burning barricades.
But the people of the West and those in the Arab world who are the life force of this struggling, sometimes incomprehensible Arab Spring are on a long path together. It will require courage to traverse it, and hope. We cannot see to the end of this journey now; perhaps this generation never will.
"If you are not with us, you are against us" is one kind of diplomacy. We have already tried that, and we know where it leads. This "us" and "them" mentality has divided humankind for millennia.
But there is no "us" and "them" in the church. There is only "us." That is the Christian vision of humankind transformed forever by grace and mercy, and it is more than a pious platitude; it is a commitment of our faith.
How that vision is translated into a geopolitical reality is a challenge for each new generation. It is clearly the most pressing challenge of our age when the clash of civilizations increasingly threatens to expend itself in a final, demonic obliteration.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Maybe the blood of a diplomatic martyr is the seed of a future where tolerance and brotherhood overcome outrage and violence and fear.

Since I now live in Canada and have a Canadian husband and half Canadian son, I decided I had to make something special for Canada Day. This year I couldn't resist making some deliciously sweet Nanaimo Bars. Not only are they my husbands favourite, we live not too far away from Nanaimo so all-in-all it was the perfect thing to make to celebrate Canada Day. So to all the Canadians out there and everyone celebrating Canada Day, have a fantastic day!
For the base:
115g/ 4oz butter
30g/ 1 oz sugar
225g/ 8oz digestive biscuits (Graham crackers)
30g/ 1oz cocoa powder
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
115g/ 4oz shredded coconut
45g/ 1 ½ oz pecan nuts, chopped
For the custard layer:
170g/ 6oz icing sugar, sieved
45g/ 1½ oz butter
2 tbsp custard powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
For the top:
115g/ 4oz good quality dark or bittersweet chocolate
1 tbsp butter
Preheat the oven to 180C/ 350F/ GM 4.
Crush the biscuits finely (either in a food processor or a sandwich bag with a rolling pin). Place the butter and sugar in a pan and cook gently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat then add the biscuits, cocoa, egg and vanilla and stir well before adding the coconut and nuts. Stir again until everything is evenly mixed.
Spoon the mixture into a 8" x 8" tin and level out. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven then remove and leave to cool.
Put all of the ingredients for the filling into a bowl and beat until smooth. Spread over the base and chill for 1 hour or until firm.
To make the topping very gently melt the chocolate and butter (I find the best way is to put the ingredients into a small bowl then place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water). Cool slightly then spread over the filling. Chill until set, then cut into squares and keep in the fridge until ready to serve. Delicious, sweet and completely Canadian!
*I added a little too much milk to my custard layer so they are a little thinner than they should be, however if you follow the recipe you will be just fine!

Democrats may have created a lasting political problem for themselves with last week's budget: enemies in Southern California's Inland Empire.
The IE, which refers to the fast-growing counties of San Bernardino and Riverside (with populations of just over 2 million each, was hit especially hard by a pair of budget manuevers.
The first takes revenue from the vehicle license fee that normally would go to cities and repurposes it to pay for local law-enforcement grants.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The other was budget-related legislation that takes billions from redevelopment agencies and gives it to schools and local governments.
These changes affect cities all over the state. But the Inland Empire is hit hard because it has so many new cities.
Such cities get additional vehicle license fee money -- the funds that were taken away -- and have been aggressive about using redevelopment money for growth. (The Press Enterprise has more details in this story).
In addition to these changes, the budget debate saw leading Democrats in California openly musing about whether inland areas represented by Republicans should be punished -- through targeted cuts -- for the failure of their representatives to support the temporary tax extensions sought by Gov. Brown.
It's too soon to tell what the political damge will be from all this. But Democrats should be worried.
If Democrats are to gain the two-thirds supermajority in the legislature, they need to win more elections in the Inland Empire.
That was already a significant challenge, given Republicans' strength in the region. This budget, by making life tougher for Inland Empire cities, won't make the task any easier.

Hello Reakktor-Devs! Here a few tips or suggestions for Toxikk:1. Bots,Avatars could look more different,like an alien,demon, dragon,knight etc.Players should have a INDIVIDUAL OPTION to change the avatars,with spikes,thorns for example!Yes every avatar should lopk more different then the others,i think that would help a lot.
2.A better, more deeper,stronger weapon-sound would be nice also.
3.Changing weather,fog, thunderstorms, dusk,dawn etc. 4. Changing weapon-stashes(yeah i know im not the first or last who asks about!)
5.More promotion! Maybe a short documentary-film about FPS,Arena-shooters,gamers and Toxikk and devs?!
6.More Vehicles annd mechs! 7.Maybe two or three hidden/rare "Secret Boss-Bots" SC 12-13?! as defenders or assasins.
So what do you think about?

MONTREAL - Last night, the Montreal International Jazz Festival unveiled its latest mass artiste movement: Le Rufus Global.
Rufus Wainwright's TD Grand Opening Event performance was many things – confirmation of interesting global stature, homecoming, apotheosis, mass event, rococo crowd-pleaser. It was also, very specifically, so very Montréal.
Because there are not many cities where the son of two folksingers, resplendent in a tight red spangled Liza number and red-rimmed shades, has the balls to open a jazz festival with an a capella Candles – no big screen visuals, no lights – for 100,000-plus. A stirring opener that had even jaded media folk rapt, on a night that meant something different to many. "Some say that no one ever leaves Montreal, for that city, like Canada itself, is designed to preserve the past, a past that happened somewhere else," said another Montreal songwriter exile. This, though, was very much in the moment.
"I'm giving you everything tonight, Montreal, because you gave me everything," Rufus would later say, and he was slightly camp and very serious; the entirety of his popera cabaret sophistication and ability were on offer, in piano, guitar and confident voice, from the slippery Rachida to the memorably blithe Out of the Game, the almost self-consciously groovy version of a Leonard Cohen motif in Perfect Man through the big vocal in a stripped jazz trio format for The Man That Got Away. There were hommages to his cities – Ste Catherine for this one, Montauk (maybe) for NYC – and a very Québécois element throughout, including a Charlebois tribute with sis Martha, and Rufus on spoons.
Festival v.p. André Ménard had opened things by cheekily introducing a video of a grade-school aged Rufus singing in Complexe Desjardins. And there was indeed a proprietary aspect that assembled the generations in the crowd.
Lise Bourgon, 52, had come "for both the artist and the Festival. We're spoiled." And Rufus is "completely one-of-a-kind. A smooth, creative artist." Did the Montrealer angle matter? "No, but tant mieux."
Elsewhere, there was Pride in the name, and Love. Genevieve Quevillon, 24, has been a fan since she was 15. "I have every album. And I'm proud that he's a Montrealer. I love his songs, his lyrics, his voice. I love that it's always different, mixing up genres. It's not what you always hear everywhere else."
Laurance Grenier, 25, has been "A big fan for 7-8 years. I love the baroque elements."
Although Isabelle Chang, 26 added "I'd like to see him in a more… intimate place."
Yes. Well. The Place des Festivals was intimate in the sense that everyone else was in your back pocket. Packed, under perfect weather, but very much a sit-down event, in mood, for the standing masses. Wainwright (we should call him by his surname at least once) was on best behaviour early in the set. Best Behaviour meant referring to his stage get-up as Liza-inspired (hence the comment above) and challenging her to a fashion throw-down. Later, he would thank the student protest movement and declare "that's why I'm in red – je suis un grand carré rouge!"
But intimacy – well, there was the mid-set moment when the entire family – Martha, Loudon, Anna – joined him and his flexible band for Entre la jeunesse et la sagesse under his lovely chandeliers.
Art Teacher drew cheers, as did his very timely tribute to Obamacare and cheery dis of "Newt Gingrich – no, he's not in the campaign! Mitt Romney" – in Going to a Town.
Lest it need be said, this went beyond the super-unbreachably-firm 11 p.m. curfew, because after the boffo ending, there was still one matter to settle, one last solo invocation of the soul of the city, just a One Man Guy in red spangles at the piano singing Hallelujah in a city of churches and hopes.
Much earlier in the set, he'd gone way back. "Remember that one?" he asked after April Fools. Well, I do, but the remarkable thing about this show was how large and in charge Rufus was on the TD stage, without ever having scored what we would normally credit as a world-owning hit single. This space is usually filled with quotations from Americans. So give 'er: offering some comic relief even Rufus might appreciate, there were Nirasha Kunna, 21 and Eugene Tan, 24, from University of Michigan.
"I really like the city, it's really beautiful, and I feel very welcome," Kunna said. "But it was a complete coincidence, we're just on a road trip," she added.
"We don't really know who he is," Tan added sheepishly.
Fair enough. But all us locals know him by one name.
