How much
does a kilogram weigh? Well,
less
than it used to. That's one of the reasons why Germany's
PTB (Physical and Technical
Institute) has been attempting to
create a virtual
kilogram. This was
news a while back when they first decided to
use silicon. Now
they're going to try it with
bismuth. (

Not really one for rituals, but on frequent bleary Sunday mornings
back in Vancouver I’d journey far across the Burrard Street
bridge to the Siegel’s on Cornwall, to buy bagels just out of
the oven, lox, and tubs of Winnipeg cream cheese.
It is a salient truth that every human should find the bagel to
which they are aligned by fate; for me it was plain (sometimes the
poppy) at Siegel’s. I could foghorn on about texture and crumb
and a balance of salt and sweet, but they were just really good. With
lox, cream cheese, capers, and red onion they were heaven.
The inability to acquire, or replace, these bagels since moving
two and a half years ago has been difficult. Bread is of course like a
religious object here, but they just don’t get bagels. When you
can find them they’re no better or worse than those of the
Safeway bread aisle: er, awful.
From peering past the unemployed actors on cash at Siegel’s
I always assumed there was some dark big-city science to bagelry; that
it boiled down (sorry) to massive wood-burning ovens, iron kettles and
long wooden paddles. But, thanks to this neat new thing called
‘google’, we have found you can get close even if cinching
your burlap clothes with twine, kicking chickens out of the way
barefoot in a dirt-floor kitchen, etc..
It can be done.
THE BAGEL: This is of course the heavy
lifting. Herself found this
recipe by Hillel Cooperman, and it is a keeper, with the following
adjustments:
- For the malt syrup, substitute a tablespoon of Ovomaltine.
- A teaspoon of rock salt isn’t enough: make it two.
- 1/3 cup honey in the boiling bath isn’t quite enough: make
it a half cup.
We’ve made them twice (well, she made them twice; I
interfered on the second batch) and they get very close to bagel
nirvana: a little sweet with just enough crusty resistance and chewy
and light but still substantial on the inside.
THE CREAM CHEESE: plain Recettes de
Madame Loïk in the blue & white tub does fine – not
quite as unctuous as one might prefer, but can be thinned with milk.
Vache qui rit in foil cubes is mere greasy kid stuff.
THE CAPERS: Available most anywhere.
Maille are good.
THE RED ONION: Why are these so goddam
expensive here?
THE SMOKED SALMON: Available most
anywhere, pre-sliced and vacuum sealed. Scottish is better than Irish;
both are better than Norwegian. If it’s labelled carpaccio
de saumon don’t buy it out of spite.

ience-fair-projects.com/Today your teacher announced
that your school is going to have a science fair and students are
responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel?
Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement
opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student
or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students
actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem
solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of
the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job
of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement
a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing
the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project,
rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the
fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a
science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math,

Broadband Falls Below £10
Broadband Falls Below £10
04/12/2005 06:10 AMUK Online has launched Britain's first broadband for under £10 a
month. The ISP has cut the cost of its unbundled broadband service,
which doesn't run through BT's network. to £9.99 for a 512k connection
- that's half the price of BT's own service.
It is also running a 2Mb/s service for £19.99 a month and an 8Mb/s one
at £29.99 - something BT doesn't offer. However, the services are only
available on a limited number of bigger exchanges - typically those in
Britain's major cities. They are offered through Local Loop
Unbundling, which allows the ISP to set up its own services directly
at the exchange without having to go through the BT Wholesale
network.
Chris Stenning, UK Online general manager, said: "LLU enables us
to offer more innovative products than our competitors. Our unique 8Mb
service has led the way on speed and now we are leading the way on
price." A spokesman for BT said: "It all looks good on paper
but it's only available to fewer that one in five of the UK
population."

The Million Pound Property Queens...
The Million Pound Property Queens...
12/10/2003 06:33 PMSo there's this TV show called The Million Pound
Property Experiment. It's presented by these two charming young
men called Colin and Justin. Evidence suggests that the two young men
in question come from a dimension that - let's just say - is big on
musical theatre. One of them (Colin) is quite fluffy and conciliatory
("We like Colin! Yay Colin!"), but the other one (Justin) is a
bloody nightmare. Watching him in action is like watching a
drag act on cocaine with foot-long claws hacking and slashing her way
through a room stuffed full of fluffy bunnies, kittens and happy
smiling teddy bears. I'll give you an example. When the programme
started they had this really decent guy working with them as a project
manager. He was a bit of a curmudgeon at times, but he seemed
pragmatic and mostly reasonable. And Justin just wailed at him
and scratched at him like one of those impossibly unreasonable small
children that you kind of pick up and watch quizzically while they
writhe and kick and scream that they hate you. Nutter! And I'm not the
only one who thinks so - you only have to read the vaguely
homophobic thread over at Digital Spy to see how stunned and
amused people are by his behaviour. And that's discounting the whole
Popbitch thing. Which we won't mention, obviously. Oops.
That's not to say - of course - that the buildings they end up
producing aren't beautifully assembled, but the most galling aspect is
how relentlessly they ignore everyone who tells them about the prices
in the area or that their design ideas are inappropriate for their
market or that - you know - children could - you know - die if
you build it that way. So week after week they get
profits in the region of £1000 just because they're snotting drama
queens. It's scandalous! Great television, though...
