Acclaim typically focuses

sudhir — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:02:37 GMT

Acclaim typically focuses on the clear explanations and the wide range of methods presented.

The books are especially controversial in the numerical analysis community. Negative criticism has centred on the books' assumed unreliability (the first edition contained some mistakes), the exclusion of some algorithms, the authors' implication that their programs have efficiency and reliability comparable to that of "black-box" libraries (see above),

The books contain material

sudhir — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:00:47 GMT

The books contain material on a range of computational methods, and an accompanying disk includes computer code and several libraries. The scope is supposed to be "everything up to, but not including, partial differential equations (PDEs)", although the second edition does include a chapter on PDEs that discusses the important concepts in the field and cites the most important papers.

Dear Taj,

Zoning is typically a local matter, so you would need to contact your town’s planning & zoning board. If your home is located in a residential area, it’s pretty hard to get approval for a B&B, although it can happen, often with restrictions on use.

For additional information, contact the Maryland B&B Association, http://www.marylandbb.com/.

Chef Seeks Inn

kenhulme — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:11:54 GMT

Ken Hulme
TheKiltedCook@Mindspring.com

I began my culinary journey more than twenty years before I first “hung out my skillet” as a Personal Chef in 2002. A now ex-wife was a terrible cook, and as a result I taught myself to cook really good food in self defense! I studied under the masters - Julia Childs, Graham, Kerr, Jacques Pepin, Jeff Smith - every Saturday morning on PBS. And, I practiced their recipes and techniques during the week. Today I’m a more formally trained member of the U. S. Personal Chef Association, and the chef/owner of a successful Personal Chef business. My cuisine is truly international - from American Regional to classic European; from Mediterranean to Middle Eastern; from Asian Pacific Fusion to Latin American.   In my “copious free time” as Tom Leherer once said, I enjoy creating recipies and entering food contests. In 2009, one of my recipies took me to New York City to compete in Food Network’s Ultimate Recipe Showdown - Hot & Spicy division!

Culinary Philosophy
My philosophy is to use top quality sustainable ingredients, harvested at the peak of perfection, properly herbed and spiced to accentuate the fresh flavors, and presented in an artistic plating.

Experience
Executive Chef, AMBOFoods;
Venice, FL, 2007 to 2009
Initially employed to do customer service and marketing for a company importing Norwegian cod-liver oil. Asked if one could cook with cod-liver oil, I explored the idea at the urging of the company owners. Within a year I found a way to include significant amounts of cod-liver oil in a cookie that tastes great. This was the foundation of OmegaCookies; “the world’s healthiest cookie”. As Executive Chef I am responsible for sourcing and ordering the highest quality ingredients; preparing doughs to near-pharmaceutical standards, developing flavors, and the early stages of production baking.

Chef/Owner
The Portable Gourmet Personal Chef Service;
Prescott, AZ; Fort Collins, CO; Kwajalein Atoll; 2002- 2007.
A Personal Chef is a private chef who works for multiple families. I do food preference analyses, nutritional planning, and menu creation for individuals, families and groups. I shop for the best and freshest ingredients at the best prices. Then I prepare and cook multiple dinners at one time, in client’s homes. In addition I plan and prepare meals to meet specific medical dietary requirements for shut-ins, surgery recovery, and long-term medical condition clients. I also plan, shop, prepare and serve private dinner parties and other in-home catering for 2 to 200 people in private residences as well as public venues.

The Kilted Cook Personal Chef Service;
Venice, FL; 2007 to present
Upon returning to the U.S. from Kwajalein Atoll, I relocated to the Gulf Coast of Florida and changed the name of my business to The Kilted Cook. As before, I plan, shop, prepare and serve multiple meals or private dinner parties to local and Snowbird clients in their homes.

Food Service and Other Background
5+ years as a head chef, sous chef, grill chef and prep chef in various restaurants around the U.S.
15+ years experience in customer service
8+ years experience in sales.
30 years as a marketing, science & technical writer

Culinary Education
United States Personal Chef Association Culinary Institute, Phoenix, AZ   Diploma - 2002

National Country Inn, Bed & Breakfast Day 2009!

Tina — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:36:28 GMT

Quite The Stir Bed And Breakfast Bungalow proudly accepts the National Country Inn Bed And Breakfast Award Banner in Gettysburg, PA on Saturday, October 3, 2009, in Gettysburg, PA.

Now into the fifth year, and going global, National Country Inn, Bed and Breakfast Day, celebrated the first Sunday in October, was inspired by author and screenwriter, Tina Czarnota. Czarnota, self described "as one who was born on the edge of a simpler time--when rock 'n roll had already arrived, and at times, felt the pressure of too much hustle-bustle: instant photos, messaging, FAXing, texting, and traffic, which makes one want to escape to practices that hint of that simpler time".

The amenities of the Bed and Breakfast "Inn-dustry", brought Tina to the simpler time she craved...filled with baths full of bubbles, cozy corners to curl in, roads less traveled with loved ones and cozy nooks to enjoy good books...mystery especially! Tina resolved to establish a day to honor Bed & Breakfasts and almost on the spot, National Country Inn, Bed & Breakfast Day was born!

A Gem of a B&B Overlooking the Ocean

MaxinePinson — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:35:42 GMT

I never would have imagined that I would find such an incredible setting when I turned down the road leading to Beach House Oceanfront B&B. Not only is the view from this delightful B&B magnificent, but everything about the inn has a special charm. The owners/innkeepers, Denise and Jack Kedian, go above-and-beyond to make guests feel welcomed, special, and anxious to return. The decor of the B&B is tasteful, and guests also have access to a patio with an unobstructed ocean view. A delicious breakfast is beautifully served each morning, and the Kedians (who have longed lived in the area) provide invaluable guidance in helping guests decide what to do and see in this scenic, historic area of New England.

I highly recommend A Beach House Oceanfront B&B to anyone traveling in the Plymouth/Cape Cod area during the months of May-October. I can't wait to visit this charming B&B again--my one night there was simply not long enough!--Maxine

Charming Country Inn near Mystic

MaxinePinson — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:50:36 GMT

Stonecroft Country Inn is one of the most charming inns I've experienced in the New England area, and I have stayed at many of them. The country setting provides the ultimate in tranquility, and yet it is conveniently located to Mystic and other sites of interest. The grounds are beautifully manicured and even include individual firepits for guests to enjoy when the weather is chilly.

Recently renovated, the decor is tasteful and guests are offered a wide range of room styles--both in the 1807 house as well as in the Grange (where the larger suites are located). Kathi and Jason are warm and welcoming innkeepers who take pleasure in making sure all of their guests' needs are met. A delicious breakfast is served each morning, and gourmet dining is available at the inn's new in-house restaurant Wed.-Sun. nights (advance reservations recommended).

Stonecroft Inn has been placed on my list of inns that I definitely would like to visit again when I can stay longer. I recommend it enthusiastically!
