![]() The fish was moving fast and I wasn’t sure what I had hooked. I grabbed it and made sure the fish was hooked and then watched the fish and line perform a large curving arc from about the 15 minute spot on a watch to the 45 minute spot. Soon after I decided to change positions and moved inshore where I cast to the waters just outside “Baby Beach.” A few minutes later I caught a decent-sized spotfin croaker so I once again decided the spot deserved a little more time.Ī few minutes later my second rod had a good hit. Mahigeer decided he would head to the San Clemente Pier and I told him I would join him but that I wanted to try the small pier a little bit longer. I began to fish and though I tried a variety of baits - bloodworms, fresh mussels - cut mackerel and anchovies -I didn’t have a bite for over an hour until a small opaleye decided to grab a piece of worm. Mahigeer (Hashem) who was going to join me at the San Clemente Pier later to catch some mackerel (bait) for Sunday, surprised me by being at the pier. Most interesting was a visit to the Dana Point Harbor Pier following the class on Saturday. Both the class and the visit to San Clemente went great. This past weekend saw me scheduled to (1) present the “Basics of Pier Fishing” to a group of neophyte anglers at a classroom in Dana Point Harbor and to (2) help them test out their new knowledge on a visit to the San Clemente Pier.

![]() He implored all Americans to consult health care providers first before self-administering any treatment or medication to themselves or loved ones.President Trump on Friday said he was being sarcastic when he suggested multiple times a day earlier that scientists should consider exposing the body to light, heat and disinfectants as a potential treatment for the coronavirus. Notably, McEnany did not say the president was being sarcastic.įriday morning, Surgeon General Jerome Adams also had to clean up the president’s musings, without directly referring to them. Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines,” she said in a statement, despite the president’s own embrace of the potential therapies. “President Trump has repeatedly said that Americans should consult with medical doctors regarding coronavirus treatment, a point that he emphasized again during yesterday’s briefing. Instead it took the new White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, more than 12 hours to clarify the remarks. But one official said, “No one told him you need to clean this up.” ![]() Some administration officials thought the White House press office should have clarified the president’s statements Thursday night after he made them. ![]() Later, the president posed the question to Birx: “Deborah, have you ever heard of that? The heat and the light, relative to certain viruses, yes, but relative to this virus?” Though Trump has repeatedly said “I’m not a doctor,” that hasn’t stopped him from quizzing his own medical professionals on whether certain unproven treatments might work for the coronavirus. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that, so that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with,” he conceded. “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. It sounds interesting,” Trump said, as he kept looking over at Birx, who remained stone-faced. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. She did not offer any other reaction as the president continued to muse.įull coverage of the coronavirus outbreak Even if Trump factors their advice into his scripted remarks, they can’t be sure he won’t ad lib to overcorrect what he sees as pessimistic guidance.īirx sat silently, hands clasped, looking forward, before shifting her eyes downward. They said Thursday’s remarks are part the president's increasing irritation at his health advisers’ constant caution about possible treatments that he wants to promote and warnings about a future wave of the coronavirus. On Friday the Maryland Emergency Management Agency issued an alert that it had “received several calls regarding questions about disinfectant use” and the coronavirus, warning residents that “under no circumstances should any disinfectant product be administered into the body.”īut Trump’s promotion of light and disinfectant as a possible hope for curing a virus that’s killed some 50,000 Americans is part of a broader posturing that’s designed to make the country feel like the current situation is improving or soon will, officials said. Medical officials cast Thursday’s presidential twist on scientific information as perhaps his most dangerous and misleading attempt yet to project a positive outlook on the coronavirus pandemic. When he referred to himself to reporters as “the chosen one” during an exchange on trade talks with China last year, he argued later that he had just been “kidding” and “having fun.” During the 2016 campaign, after repeatedly saying that then-President Barack Obama was the “founder of ISIS,” he backtracked by saying he was simply being “sarcastic.” It’s not the first time the president has claimed that his attempted “jokes” were being misinterpreted after facing intense backlash and widespread criticism. On Friday Trump told reporters he was being sarcastic when he suggested people inject disinfectant into their bodies. As they multiply via budding (splitting themselves into new yeast cells), the yeast is transferred from test tubes to flasks to tanks. It takes a lot of trial and error to produce a recipe with accurate rise times for a particular amount of yeast (doubling yeast in a recipe won't allow you to halve the rise time) so it's best to start off by sticking with the amounts and times printed in a recipe before experimenting.Ĭommercial yeast production starts with a small group of healthy yeast organisms that is carefully grown by providing them with nutrients (supplied to them in a slurry called wort). The amount of yeast to use, the length of time to allow the yeast to grow, and the balance of other ingredients that may promote or inhibit yeast activity are all unpredictable variables when creating a recipe from scratch. Many recipes aid the growth of the yeast by providing a little extra fuel in the form of cane sugar (be careful, an environment too saturated with sugars can shut down yeast activity resulting in a dense loaf) and making sure the temperature is just right to promote yeast activity (around 95☏ ). To allow yeast to feast on just wheat flour and water is time consuming, sometimes taking several days to produce enough flavor and volume of small bubbles for delicious, tender bread. The build up of these gases causes the dough to "rise". ![]() The yeast, incorporated into the flour and water, consumes the glucose, fructose, and maltose broken down from the starches of the wheat flour and releases carbon dioxide which gets trapped in the network of starch and protein. In bread making, the stretchy framework and the food are usually one and the same - wheat flour and water that has been kneaded to produce long strands of interwoven, stretchy proteins called gluten. This is great for baking because if we can provide a stretchy framework, supply sugar, and leave the yeast to grow in a warm environment, the yeast will eat the sugars, convert it into flavorful alcohols, and fill the stretchy material with gases forming air bubbles (and, depending on the activity of the yeast and how strong the material is, large air bubbles). Yeast live by consuming sugars and converting them into energy with carbon dioxide and alcohol as a by product. pastorianus used extensively in commercial beer and wine making), in cooking and baking, the word yeast refers to S. Although many other strains are generally regarded as safe ( S. Because yeasts are everywhere, it's possible to leave a batter (or grape juice) out and cultivate a new colony of yeast to grow in your food, but this is probably not advisable for most people - especially since yeast (specifically the desirable strain) is commonly available in grocery stores. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker's or brewer's yeast, are fungi which naturally occur, well, all over the place. Yeast is used for a variety of purposes outside of baking (such as for brewing beer, for fermenting wine, and for ingesting as a nutritional supplement) but we'll focus on yeast for baking in this article. Because they are living, we promote their growth and their production by providing them with warmth, food (sugars), and time. ![]() Unlike chemical leaveners which react upon contact to produce gases, yeast are living organisms that digest sugars and produce alcohol and carbon dioxide. The use of yeast gives baked goods (such as breads) both flavor and an airy lightness.

They are, however, a beautiful investment in the future of our cities and rural landscapes. Sugar maples are desirable landscaping trees, but they tend to grow slowly. Native Americans living in the eastern deciduous forest used maple sugar as one of their primary food flavorings. It takes between 32 to 40 gallons of maple sap to produce one gallon of syrup.Ī sugar maple tree may produce between 5-60 gallons of sap each year. Once sunlight becomes available, such as when a large nearby tree is cut or falls, the spindly sugar maples grow rapidly and may live for longer than 200 years.

These beautiful trees, with their attractive green summer foliage and flaming orange, gold, and red autumn foliage, are shade tolerant and tend to dominate older forests. Sap begins to flow in spring when daytime temperatures surge above freezing, but night time temperatures fall below freezing. What is less well-known is that other species of trees, such as aspens, can also be tapped but the sap of sugar maple has the highest sugar content. Most of us are aware this is the tree that is “tapped” in early spring for its sap, which is then boiled down to make delicious maple syrup and maple sugar. ![]() The seeds are the familiar “helicopter” winged seeds with which children enjoy playing.

It is up to Pyanfar to navigate the threats to her ship and clan and eventually even whole Compact worlds that are brought about by her simple decision to shelter a single strange creature.42★6′54″N 115★8′30″W / 42.94833°N 115.97500°W / 42.94833 -115.97500Ĭ. The Compact is neither a political organization, nor a government it only regulates open trade and accessibility of space stations to all civilizations- oxygen and methane breathers alike, leaving them to resolve their conflicts and politics between themselves. The Compact is a region of stars occupied by a several space-faring civilizations. The first four books of the Chanur series follow Hani Captain Pyanfar Chanur's thought and actions as captain has to puzzle out changes in the behavior of the Kif and a strange mostly-hairless new race that is a stranger to "Compact space". ![]() The first time I read the set of Chanur books, I finished them in one long marathon effort, then immediately turned around and reread them again immediately. After immersing yourself in the heads of her aliens and their well developed cultural and psychological constructs, you can actually find other humans puzzling and strange. She does it so well in fact, that you can find yourself having a hard time getting back to thinking in purely human terms whenever you have to put the books down, even briefly. You can become so immersed in her alien's viewpoints that the sole human character came seem foreign and puzzling to you after reading. Cherryh one of the finest authors of Sci-fi is her ability to literally put you into the viewpoint of an alien race. I am miserly with 5-star reviews 4 stars means I liked a book very much 3 stars means I liked it 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved). The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. Highly recommended, but begin with book one, "The Pride of Chanur."Ībout my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. (I would be happy if such characters were more common in science fiction.) I like how Cherryh shows the characters pushed close to their limits, how she lets the reader feel their tiredness, their grime, their worth. I will say that I continue to like the central characters, most notably Pyanfar, an alien spaceship captain: a female no longer young, who is grumpy, resourceful, courageous. I won't discuss plot details beyond that. ![]() The story picks up immediately from the end of book two, proceeds via action and inter-species politicking for some three hundred entertaining pages, then stops, with much unresolved, to pass the baton onward to book four.

TimeSplitters: Future Perfect is also packed with optional challenge levels that will test your FPS skills, sometimes to the point of wanting to pull out your hair in frustration.

Like the best sequels, though, Vegas 2 just does everything a little bit better. Vegas 2 features the incredible level design, wonderful visuals, and fascinating blend of team-based tactics and pulse-pounding action that made the previous game such a surprisingly refreshing take on the franchise. Yet, in some ways, I feel like Vegas 2‘s enhanced accessibility (relatively speaking) allows it to capture the “fantasy” of the Tom Clancy experience better than any other Rainbow Six title. ![]() Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is certainly more action-focused than the early games in the Rainbow Six franchise. *This list has since been updated to include entries 26-30. However, special consideration was given to games that did both well. – Single-player only and multiplayer-only FPS games were not necessarily faulted for lacking either mode. – How enjoyable (for whatever reason) an FPS game is ultimately determined by whether it was selected for this list and where it was ranked, but innovation, historical significance, and longevity were all used as prominent “X-factors” to determine rankings The more a game emphasized shooting/combat as a core part of the experience, the more likely it was to be considered part of the genre. An FPS must obviously have a first-person perspective and shooting, but when in doubt, we looked closely at the “shooter” part of the equation. ![]() – Defining a first-person shooter can be tricky. ![]() Many offer something different, but the one thing that most share is the feeling you get just from hearing their names.īefore we dive into the list, here are a few notes about the criteria used to make these selections. The best first-person shooters ever may have inspired each other, but each ultimately brings something special to the table that helps it stand out among some considerable competition. Those are the games we’re here to celebrate today. The history of the genre is written by developers who used a certain point of view and a gun or two as the basis for a variety of experiences that continue to surprise us even after we told ourselves that we’ve seen it all. There’s no one element that makes FPS games so brilliant, and that is, ironically enough, exactly what makes them brilliant. Game genres go in and out of fashion all the time, but for over 30 years, first-person shooters have been one of the industry’s most reliable sources for blockbuster experiences that often help dictate the future of the medium. ![]() If you are wondering that it will come down to just a purchase, then no. “Our talented team of Specialists are ready to connect with customers and support them at any stage of their shopping experience,” she says.
