MyIX opens up peering to Government Agencies, Universities & SMEs
The Malaysia Internet Exchange (MyIX) is opening up its membership and partnership to include enterprises in line with the continued evolution of the internet landscape.
MyIX defines enterprises as corporations which are customers of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), such as government agencies, financial institutions, universities are also small, medium enterprises (SMEs).
MyIX Chairman, Chiew Kok Hin
The Chairman of MyIX Chiew Kok Hin explained that, in line with MyIX's prime objective of keeping "local traffic local", the association is now opening the exchange for enterprises to directly peer (exchange traffic) with each other and other members which currently number 114.
"As the country's only non-profit national internet exchange body operated by industry, MyIX is committed to becoming more inclusive in addition to promoting greater development and depth," said Chiew, who was recently re-elected as MyIX Chairman at its AGM held in Kuala Lumpur.
An Internet Exchange is essentially the physical infrastructure through which ISPs and content delivery networks (CDNs) exchange internet traffic among their networks for greater routing efficiencies, thereby reducing costs.
"Although we have significantly improved the presence of local traffic in MyIX, there is still substantial local traffic from the enterprise segment that goes via international path before rerouted back to Malaysia," explained Chiew.
"Hence, the reason of opening up our internet exchange to enterprises stem from our intention to keep traffic local while enhancing MyIX's 'network effect'," he said, adding that the platform would then increase efficiencies with more users joining it.
"These organisations can then secure their own autonomous system numbers (ASN) and arrange to peer directly at MyIX's various nodes," said Chiew.
These nodes are essentially access switches located at various alternative sites; thereby enabling members and peering partners to connect to ISPs, other members and content hosted by MyIX.
Having been established in 2006 as an initiative under the Malaysian Communications Multimedia Commission (MCMC), MyIX membership was previously restricted to internet service providers (ISP) before being broadened to also include content distribution networks (CDNs) over the years. It currently has a total of seven nodes located throughout Malaysia, including 1 each in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Johor and 3 in Cyberjaya. .
MyIX is modelled after the Amsterdam Internet (Netherlands) and London Internet Exchange (UK).

Q: Function doing different things when being called the same way Hello I'm having an issue where it seems that a line of code is completely ignored  or is giving different result every time.

                p4card4 = ValueToBeStored;
                break;
            case 20:
                p4card5 = ValueToBeStored;
                break;
            case 21:
                p5card1 = ValueToBeStored;

            case 22:
                p5card2 = ValueToBeStored;
                break;
            case 23:
                p5card3 = ValueToBeStored;
                break;

            case 25:
                p5card5 = ValueToBeStored;
                break;
        }

    }

    System.out.println("CARD" + CardToBeStored + " STORED AS " + ValueToBeStored);

}

temp4 is set before getCard() is called and so is CardToBeStored. My main issue is that when temp4 is 11, QUEEN is printed in logcat but ValueToBeStored doesn't change to 10, but instead keeps its previous value.
For ex)
getCard() temp->4 ValueToBeStored = 4
getCard() temp->11 ValueToBeStored = 4
All of the other cases work. Any idea what would be causing this? If need be I can send my entire class file.

A Priest, A Chickering, Michael Jarvis & Franz Liszt
We listened to Felix Mendelssohn's (1809-1847): Sonata in F minor, op. 4 (1823)
Adagio - Allegro moderato
Poco adagio
Allegro agitato
and we were charmed. The second movement is so beautiful that I invented a story and told Rebecca, "Felix Mendelssohn was only 14 when he composed this. He fell in love with a red haired girl who lived across the street. He was so smitten that he dedicated this Sonata to her." The third movement ("The first is my favourite, Paul Luchkow told us," but then we noticed that, unlike the other two, the first began with a solo violin part!) is equally nice and ends in a startling manner. I would have not suspected that our moment of bliss had its beginnings in 1990, when our 90 year old neighbour from across the street, Wanda Smith rang our door bell.
Wanda Smith told us with anguish that she had to move out of the house that she and her husband Claire (the colour photograph below) had lived in for 50 years. He was getting terribly forgetful and he was going to be put into a home. She was going to move with her daughter, a Protestant minister in Utah. She needed to find a home for her piano which had been given to her by her father when she was a child. We could have it for $500. The piano "crossed the street" to our house. We opened the beautiful baby grand and read Chickering - Boston. I had no clue what it was. We hired a piano tuner to come who told us, "By the way, Glen Gould had one of these in his living room." I researched the name and discovered that Franz Liszt had owned two.
But it was last Saturday when the Reverend Lawrence Donnelly of St. Jude's Catholic Church let Rosemary, Rebecca, Lauren and me into the Rectory's Music Studio. It was there where we found out how special Chickerings were and are. It was a cozy and nicely carpeted room with a strange square piano. We were greeted by the piano's (Chickering, serial number 17503, built in 1857) owner, eminent organist, harpsichordist, pianist, and master of the Music Room Michael Jarvis and my friend violinist Paul Luchkow.
The piano you see (below, right) is exactly like Jarvis's. It is an 1850 Chickering from the keyboard collection of the Smithsonian.
Luchkow and Jarvis had invited us to listen in to a rehearsal (at St Jude's) to this Friday's concert at Knox United Church, at 8pm.
Jarvis gave Rebecca a thorough and interesting story on how by luck he found the Chickering in Hamilton, Ontario before it suffered the fate of most square Chickerings, which is to be converted into desks. He explained how the squareness made the piano more compact but that in not having the length of a baby grand or a grand piano it was missing a lower octave. Rebecca noticed that the piano was missing one of a normal piano's three pedals. Jarvis demonstrated what one of the pedals could do. While it diminished the sturdy sound of the piano it sounded like a wonderful musical waterfall. Jarvis told us that in some circles the pedal sound is called an Aeolian harp. He suggested that Rebecca sit down and play on it but she was too shy for that. Both my granddaughters lay down on the carpet while the pair of musicians delighted us. There were a few frequent stops and corrections. Luchkow had warned me about them but he also explained that it would help Rebecca understand all the work that precedes all those "perfect" concerts I take her to.
It was reading about Franz Liszt's two Chickerings here that I discovered that the Boston firm's principal contribution to the art of piano making was the cast-iron frame patented betweem 1840-1849 and which gave the instrument more stability and a richer sound.
I took a photograph of this cast iron frame (above) and Jarvis explained that the early instruments featured the sun design seen here. And below is a picture of one of Liszt's Chickerings.
Wanda and Claire would be delighted to find out that not only have we found a home for her piano but we have found good use for it. Rebecca has been practicing and taking her piano lessons. It all started with Juan Castelao who gave Rebecca her first piano lessons on the Chickering (serial number 108516 built between 1905 and 1910) and it also involved Nicole Scriabin, Alexander Scriabin's beautiful grand niece, who posed by it even though she could not play chopsticks.
The rest of the concert will feature music by Franz Schubert and Clara Schumann. By coincidence Rosemary and I saw Song of Love (1947) which is a well made (rare) Hollywood musical biography which features Katherine Hepburn as Clara Schumann and Paul Henreid as her husband Robert. Robert Walker plays a thoroughly human, warm and funny Brahms while Henry Daniell (usually a scary Nazi) plays a scary Franz Liszt.
The piano music in this film (startingly every composition is played from beginning to end by Artur Rubinstein) is romantic and intimate. It is played in living rooms and parlours. Brahms, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt where all contemporaries. A perfect way to extend the pleasure of this concert would be to rent the film (it is available, I checked) at Videomatica.
This Friday's concert promises to be as intimate, romantic and warm. We will be there. That Chickering is only part of the attraction.
And you might note in the first picture that Luchkow volunteered to trade his valuable violin, for a short while with Rebecca's Lilly. I was astounded!
January 25 2008 from Marc Destrubé, the principal violinist of the Smithsonian's Axelrod Quartet.
As it happens, I'm spending my days this week rehearsing down the hall from that
Chickering piano, and sharing a little stage with Queen Victoria's Erard and
Paderewski's Steinway that you will find further down that same Smithsonian page,
as well as two amazing old harpsichords. They are all remaining quite silent
while we delight in four yummy Amatis. I'm a lucky boy.

Ascension Connection
Ascension Connection Call – Thursday, February 24, 2022 – CE-5 The Human Initiated Contact Experience
Ascension Connection Call – Thursday, February 24, 2022
10am Pacific, 12noon Central, 1pm Eastern, 6pm UTC
CE-5 – The Human Initiated Contact Experience
Guest speaker Lou Angelwolf
Lou is a serious guy… seriously funny! He is a standup comedian in Florida whose career spans 38 years. He has performed in over 6,000 shows in thirteen different time zones. Lou hosts the radio show IMHO.Love which airs live on Facebook most Wednesday nights at 7:30 PM Eastern. Topics may include, but are not limited to, spirituality & religion, history & current events, and especially, CE-5, inviting contact with advanced extraterrestrial beings through consciousness. There are a lot of Aha as well as Ha Ha moments.
Lou's co-host for the IMHO.love show is Mike Murburg, a graduated historian from Princeton University. He has a successful law practice, and studies concepts such as existence, being, becoming, and reality (ontology). He is an author working on a book about the Tao and he developed the Princeton Protocols for making contact. Mike is an original contributor to the book "Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness & Contact with Non-Human Intelligence. Both Lou and Mike are contactees since childhood and the ongoing experiences have changed their lives.
There is great diversity in the people who practice CE-5. The advanced beings we reach out to in CE-5 are blind to what you do for a living, your sex, ethnicity, or religion. All that is required is a connection to one mind consciousness, a sincere heart, and clear intention.
What is CE-5/HICE-5?
CE-5 is a category of contact with extraterrestrials added to the original three created by J Allen Hynek in 1972. Author, ufologist, and astronomer, Jacques Vallée added the fourth . Most will be familiar with Hynek's work on Project Blue Book while acting as an advisor for UFO studies with the US Airforce. Both Hynek and Vallée were involved with the making of the movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. These are the categories of contact:
Close Encounters of the First Kind: Defined as visual sightings of an unidentified flying object seemingly less than five hundred feet away that show an appreciable angular extension and considerable detail.
Close Encounters of the Second Kind: A UFO event in which a physical effect is alleged. This can be interference in the functioning of a vehicle or electronic device; animals reacting; a physiological effect such as paralysis or heat and discomfort in the witness; or some physical trace like impressions in the ground, scorched or otherwise affected vegetation, or a chemical trace.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind: UFO encounters in which an animated creature is present. These include humanoids, robots, and humans who seem to be occupants or pilots of a UFO. This subcategory was made popular by the movie of the same name.
Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind: Defined by Jacques Vallee, Hynek's associate, as a UFO event in which witnesses experienced a transformation of their sense of reality.
Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, AKA CE-5: A classification created by Dr. Steven Greer in 1990. In this category, humans are initiating peaceful, interactive contact with the ETs through consciousness.
CE-5 is the popular term but over the last couple of years has changed to HICE, Human initiated Contact Experience or Human Initiated Close Encounter. Mike and Lou coordinate a monthly CE-5 meeting at the beautiful Darby Ranch, a sacred piece of ground in West Central Florida that has seen much paranormal activity from the civil war to date. The spiritual energy of the property seems to attract ET due to the collective energy of the group and the property itself.
Groups meet monthly on the new moon when the sky is darkest. According to ETLetsTalk, a large global CE-5 Community, there are more than 150,000 CE-5 groups & individuals in more than one hundred countries that participate in a team such as the Tampa Bay Darby Ranch group. The Teams make coordinated, interactive contact with loving, peaceful extraterrestrial civilizations.
At the Darby Ranch, there is always a friendly bonfire, with invocations and meditations to keep spirits high. There is never a charge. As with most CE-5 groups, theirs is highly spiritual and all who wish to attend are asked to read the protocols before participating (attached below). Any negative thoughts and feelings such as fear can disrupt the energy. Mike and Lou's team strives to attract likeminded people who are ready to participate in something larger than themselves. As they enter their sixth year of CE-5 meet ups, Lou wants to share his love, compassion, success, and hope for our global CE-5 community.
Join us this Thursday to learn more about Human Initiated Contact, what to expect and how to prepare.

If you suffer from anxiety or depression, you might find yourself worrying more during times of uncertainty like the UK election results today. I had an influx of anxious and depression clients in my Hypnotherapy clients following Brexit, but we were able to calm emotions down with the techniques that I teach people.
The thing with uncertainty is that it makes people feel out of control. And when you feel out of control this can cause fear and from fear comes anxiety along with other symptoms like IBS, stress and sleep issues.
And there are plenty of things in life to give us those feelings of uncertainty. Like job losses, recession, separation, relationship breakdowns, financial trouble and ill health to mention but a few.
Scientists have proved that there are two types of uncertainty. The one we can prepare for and the one we are just stuck with. And they feel very different with the uncertainty we can't do anything about being more stressful than the one we can.
Unpredictability is a great stressor. Studies in the 1960s and 1970s showed that rats and humans suffer more when given an unexpected small electrical shock than those who can predict when a zap is coming. And in a 2006 study, people rated the pain as more unpleasant than when they knew what to expect when they were zapped with unpredictable electric shocks to their hands.
So how can you feel different?
Now, we are emotional creatures and this is a gift. Without the full range of emotions we couldn't experience joy and pleasure and we all want some of that don't we? But it becomes a problem when the negative emotions don't seem to give you a break and stop you living a 'normal' life. Let's not forget that many people will be feeling pleased about the election result.
It might not feel like it, but anxiety actually exists to keep you safe. It goes right back to caveman days where if a predator animal came along, caveman would get anxious and prepare to fight or run. So a bit of andrealin which is released into the body is useful for both of those things. The trouble is that the brain can get confused about 'danger' and generate this fight or flight reaction unnecessarily which can be stressful and exhausting.
Think about a situation of uncertaintity from 5 years ago. What happened? Was everything ok? What did you learn from that?
We deftiinely need more smart people like you around.

Film Review: 'The Jurassic Dead'
Posted June 29th, 2018 by Dave Taylor
A mad scientist wants to bring America to its knees by shooting missiles at major cities. But that's not all, he's also invented a potion that brings the dead back to life! In fact, he's brought a T-Rex back to life too, and it's on a rampage in his secret desert HQ! And two groups end up fighting for their lives against both the T-Rex, the mad scientist and their friends who have been turned into zombies because of an EMP that's knocked out all electronics!
Sounds like a lot of storyline to jam into a single movie, doesn't it? Well, the writer and director are clearly trying to play 'The Jurassic Dead' as a serious horror sci-fi thriller but, in fact, the film is far more effective as a 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' sort of parody. My daughter and I had a hilarious time yelling at the screen, complaining about continuity errors ("he has a kerchief on his head! No, he has a baseball cap!") and trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
The story launches with neophyte mad scientist Dr. Wojick Borge (Cooper Elliott) demonstrating his fluorescent revivification cocktail (think 'Re-Animator') to his college students on a dead and quite obviously rubber cat who – surprise! – comes to life in a quite alarming manner. He's summarily fired and oh, I wanted some sort of "Steen! Franken-steen!" line thrown into this obvious rip-off of 'Young Frankenstein"s brilliant opening scene.
The film switches inexplicably to a group of mercenaries led by Duque (Andy Haman) who is so much the spitting image of the video game character Duke Nukem that other characters in the film even point that out. Also on his band of barely competent thugs is Swat (Juan Gonzalez), who has a police badge hanging around his neck for no obvious reason, Cuchilla (Raquel Pennington), the token female badass who is underutilized in the action sequences, Stick (Ruselis Aumeen Perry), who might or might not actually have some military experience and Spivey (Shale Le Page). Ahhh, Spivey. He's some sort of redneck character, armed to the teeth and wearing a flag as a headscarf. He's also a jerk, and inexplicably unkind.
As the comedic foil, I think, are a group of four high school kids who are also traveling through the desert when the EMP hits. Oh, we'll get back to the EMP and the desert, no worries. They're football player bonehead Gunnar (Ben Johnson), his vapid blonde girlfriend Roxanne (Nicole Goeke), her nerd sister Sadie (Mia Klosterman) and her stoner boyfriend Cameron (Adam Singer).
So both groups are cruising through an unnamed desert area when a meteor crashes into the earth and causes an electromagnetic pulse that stops the cars, kills their cellphones and shuts down Sadie's Gameboy. Oh, the humanity! Each group climbs out of their vehicles and instead of walking along the road, head independently to the mysterious lair of the evil mad scientist (Dr. Borge, who is now channeling Darth Vader by way of the Goodwill prop department for no obvious reason).
Borge traps the two groups in his lair and unleashes, yes, a T-Rex that's actually undead. It's a Z-Rex and turns people he bites into zombies. At least, if he doesn't actually just chomps them. And the tone of the entire show can be explained by the one scene when Duque walks up and punches out the T-Rex. Really. We even see a few teeth knocked out. Then the Tyrannosaurus realizes it's already dead and jumps up to attack!
Most all of the film then takes place in the secret desert bunker in mostly incomprehensible ways. Dr. Borge is pulling strings in the background (note: the EMP effects end as soon as everyone gets into the desert facility, though they never quite seem to realize that it means their cellphones would now work too) as Z-Rex and the zombies go after the dwindling number of survivors. Kind of like a Scooby-Doo meets Z-Rex episode, minus the amusing canine cast member.
If you try to watch 'The Jurassic Dead' as a serious horror thriller, you're going to shake your head and switch to something else, ANYTHING else, within five or ten minutes. The performances are universally horrible, the visual effects are straight off a home PC, and the constant continuity errors and baffling storyline are enough to drive you to swearing off the genre entirely. But grab a few pals and view it as a challenge for who can be the most snarky and sarcastic as the movie proceeds and you might just have a great time watching this bizarre indie movie.

The risk represented by wood packaging materials and dunnage varies depending on the quality, conditioning and degree of finishing of the wood. The better the quality of wood used, the less likely it is that the wood packaging materials may be infested with serious pests. Many exotic plant pests have been intercepted on wood dunnage, pallets, crating or other wood packaging materials. Examples of plant quarantine pests intercepted include: Anoplophora chinensis, Anoplophora glabripennis, Ips typographus, Hylastes ater, Monochamus sp., Trichoferus campestris and others. The introduction of the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), pine shoot beetle (Tomicus piniperda), emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) and other exotic pests now established in parts of North America can be linked to international shipments containing wood packaging materials.
In March 2002, the Interim Commission on Phytosanitary Measures of the International Plant Protection Convention endorsed a standard prescribing uniform regulatory control of wood packaging materials moving in international commerce. This document titled: "ISPM No. 15, Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Material in International Trade" recognizes the inherent pest risks associated with the international movement of untreated wood packaging materials. Although this standard does not obligate countries to establish regulatory controls, the guideline represents a mechanism by which any country may establish regulatory controls in a manner that is internationally harmonized. This Canadian import policy reflects the guidelines established in ISPM No. 15.
This policy does not regulate wood packaging materials originating in the U.S. As prescribed in ISPM No. 15, Canada has established bilateral phytosanitary measures with the U.S. Additionally, existing phytosanitary import measures applying to forest products produced in the U.S. provides sufficient phytosanitary protection to Canada.
This directive is for use by Canadian importers, Canadian customs brokers, CFIA inspectors, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), foreign exporters and National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPO).

Numerous pests regulated by Canada could be associated with the commodities and/or articles regulated by this directive. Please see list of pests regulated by Canada.
Wood packaging materials constructed from the wood of any plant species that are not manufactured, including dunnage, pallets, spacers, bearers, crating, etc.
Note: wood packaging materials used for the transport of lumber are also regulated by this policy. However, logs, wood with bark attached, lumber, wood chips, bark chips, bamboo products, decorative wood items, cones without seed and other forest product imports are regulated by policy directive D-02-12.
All wood packaging materials constructed entirely from manufactured wood including: dunnage, pallets, spacers, bearers, crating, etc. All wood packaging materials constructed of wood of less than 6 mm in thickness.
Wood packing (wood chips, sawdust or other processed wood product used to stabilize a commodity).
Manufactured Wood: Articles comprised wholly of wood-based products such as plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, veneer, wood wool etc., which have been created using glue, heat and pressure or a combination thereof.
All countries other than the continental U.S.
The importation or movement in-transit through Canada of non-manufactured wood packaging materials which has not been treated in accordance with Appendix 1 (or treatments prescribed in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) from any area of the world excluding the continental U.S. is prohibited.
The importation of non-manufactured wood packaging materials which has not been treated in accordance with Appendix 1 (or those prescribed in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) originating from areas other than the continental U.S. but transiting through the continental U.S. and entering Canada is prohibited.
A Permit to Import is not required.
A Phytosanitary Certificate is not required. A Phytosanitary Certificate may be used as an alternative to the marking systems prescribed below.
Note: By way of bilateral arrangement, a Phytosanitary Certificate is not accepted for the entry of wood packaging material originating from the People's Republic of China.
All non-manufactured wood packaging materials (as defined in section 1.4) may enter Canada provided the material has been officially treated by one of the methods specified in Appendix 1. A logo or mark, officially endorsed by the NPPO of the country from which the wood packaging materials originate must be permanently affixed to each unit of wood packaging materials. More details on the mark are provided in Appendix 2. A Phytosanitary Certificate may be used in lieu of a logo or mark as prescribed above.
Replacement wood used in reconditioned wood packaging materials must be treated prior to export by a facility endorsed by the NPPO of the exporting country. The official mark of the facility conducting the treatment of the replacement wood must be affixed to the wood packaging materials.
The NPPO of the country from which the wood packaging materials originate must have a certification system in place for the approval and monitoring of facilities producing wood packaging materials to meet international standards. This certification system must ensure that the wood packaging materials or wood used in re-conditioned wood packaging materials are treated in accordance with one of the methods specified in Appendix 1. Facilities must be approved by the NPPO to affix a mark to the treated wood packaging materials. The system of marking must conform to the specifications laid out in Appendix 2. The NPPO must arrange to provide to CFIA on regular basis an updated list of facilities endorsed by the NPPO (e.g. an NPPO may arrange to provide a web-site address where lists are maintained).
Importers may determine eligible shippers of wood packaging materials by visiting the CFIA Web Site.
Ship borne dunnage should be officially treated by one of the methods specified in Appendix 1. It is recognized that not all countries possess the capacity to treat ship borne dunnage as per the specifications identified in this policy. Non-compliant ship borne dunnage must be retained aboard the marine vessel or disposed of in the manner specified in Section 4.1.
Inspectors will verify that non-manufactured wood packaging materials are marked appropriately or accompanied by appropriate certification documents and that the non-manufactured wood packaging material does not contain any pests or signs of living pests.
Any non-compliant wood packaging materials (excluding ship borne dunnage) entering Canada will be ordered removed from Canada. As of July 2015, CBSA may allow the following options at the 4 main marine ports (i.e. Halifax, Montreal, Vancouver, and Prince Rupert):
Deconsolidation of non-compliant wood packaging materials from compliant wood packaging materials in consolidated shipments could be allowed; and
The separation of non-compliant wood packaging materials from associated cargo/goods and replaced with compliant wood packaging materials.
These options are subject to the CBSA's discretion to determine if it is operationally feasible to allow for any deconsolidation or manipulation of cargo/goods and only if there is no evidence of live wood-boring pests. Additional enforcement measures may be applied to importers or those person or organization having custody of non-compliant wood packaging.
Permitting the entry of non-compliant wood packaging results in increased risk of pest establishment in Canada and increased use of pesticide treatments including methyl bromide to remove associated pests. Canada is a signatory to the Montreal Protocol and is taking steps to reduce its overall use of methyl bromide. However, where wood packaging may pose an immediate risk for the entry of a pest, the CFIA or CBSA will order treatment of the non-compliant wood packaging, as prescribed in Appendix 1, prior to it being ordered removed from Canada.
All costs incurred in the disposition of non-compliant wood packaging are the responsibility of the person or organization having custody of the non-compliant wood packaging materials at the time of entry to Canada (including port or berthing facilities receiving untreated ship borne dunnage).
Non-compliant ship borne dunnage must be secured on the marine vessel so that pests may not escape while in Canadian waters (e.g. under tarp, cover or within closed holds or containers) or at the port area in a container secured against the escape of pests (e.g. a closed disposal bin) until inspected by the CBSA. Failure to hold ship borne dunnage appropriately may result in additional enforcement measures being applied to the person or organization having custody of the dunnage.
Alternatively, the CBSA may permit non-compliant ship borne dunnage to enter and be moved to a facility that safely disposes or processes the material in accordance with the conditions specified in Appendix 3. However, to ensure that ship borne dunnage does not pose a risk for the entry of a pest, the CFIA or CBSA will order treatment of non-compliant ship borne dunnage, as prescribed in Appendix 1, prior to disposal or processing. The port facility or parties responsible for the marine vessel offloading the dunnage must obtain a movement certificate (as specified in Appendix 5) that permits the movement of the dunnage to a CFIA approved disposal or processing facility. The disposal or processing facility must have completed an Application for Participation in the Non-Compliant Ship Borne Dunnage Disposal or Processing Program (Appendix 4) and this application must have been approved by an inspector of the CFIA prior to the non-compliant ship borne dunnage being granted entry to Canada.
Port facilities and ship's agents unable to comply with these requirements must ensure that non-compliant ship borne dunnage is sealed aboard the vessel and not discharged into Canada. Failure to comply with the requirements may result in stringent enforcement measures being applied to the person or organization having custody of the dunnage, including Canadian agents acting on behalf of the marine vessel, the master or officers of the marine vessel, port authorities or those contracted to handle the dunnage.
Any movement of non-compliant ship borne dunnage must be authorized by the CBSA on movement certificates issued to the person or organization having custody of the non-compliant item. Facilities may be permitted to move multiple shipments of non-compliant ship borne dunnage on a master Movement Certificate issued to the facility (a sample is contained in Appendix 5). Movement certificates shall specify the location and the specific conditions by which the ship borne dunnage may be moved.
5.0 Appendices
1. Heat Treatment
All wood packaging materials must be heated to a minimum internal wood core temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes. Kiln-drying, chemical pressure impregnation, or other treatments may be used as a means of achieving heat treatment provided that the above temperature and time requirements are met.
2. Fumigation

1. Methods for the Disposal or Processing of Non-compliant Ship Borne Dunnage
CBSA may permit the movement, disposal or processing of non-compliant ship borne dunnage provided that facilities capable of meeting the standards prescribed herein exist to conduct the disposal or processing. All costs incurred in the certification, inspection, monitoring, transport, disposal and/or processing of this material must be absorbed by the person or organization having custody of the ship borne dunnage at the time of entry into Canada. The material must be disposed of or processed in a manner that prevents the entry or introduction of pests into Canada. The following methods may be used to dispose or process non-compliant ship borne dunnage:
incineration; or
deep burial within a period prescribed by an inspector but not exceeding 3 days to a depth of no less than 1.8 metres that will not be disturbed, (non-compliant ship borne dunnage must be immediately covered with soil/dirt); or
processing to produce wood by-products such as wood dust, wood mulch (where the mulch is not to be distributed into the environment as a soil additive), wood fuel, paper mulch, recycled fibre wood and oriented strand board.
The CBSA is responsible for monitoring the disposal of ship borne dunnage.
2. Storage of Non-Compliant Ship Borne Dunnage While Awaiting Disposal or Processing
Non-compliant ship borne dunnage must be, at all times stored in a closed container that is effective in preventing pests from entering into the environment. Storage areas of non-compliant ship borne dunnage must be isolated from other domestic wood commodities, material that has already undergone processing and adjacent forested lands by no less than 30 metres. Storage is only permitted until the material can be appropriately disposed or processed as specified in 1 above. An inspector will specify the time limit for storage on a Movement Certificate issued to the person or organization having custody of the ship borne dunnage.
3. Transportation of Non-compliant Ship Borne Dunnage from Point of Entry to the Site of Disposal or Processing
Regardless of the process (described in section 1 of Appendix 3) by which non-compliant ship borne dunnage is to be handled, the material may only be moved, by a transporter that is approved by CFIA as specified on a Movement Certificate issued to the person or organization having custody of the non-compliant ship borne dunnage. The wood must be moved in a closed container directly to the site at which disposal or processing is going to take place.
4. Specific Requirements for Disposal or Processing
Facilities storing, disposing or processing non-compliant ship borne dunnage by the methods described in Section 1 of Appendix 3 must comply with the following specifications:
The designated facility (facility officially approved by the CFIA to perform activities stated in this policy) undertaking disposal or processing must have completed an Application for Participation as specified in Appendix 4. This application, if accepted by CFIA, shall be signed by an inspector confirming the facility's participation in the program. Until the facility is approved, non-compliant imported ship borne dunnage may not be moved to the facility.
Designated facilities must undertake all disposal or processing in a Canadian establishment designated on the Application for Participation
Designated facilities must afford inspection staff full co-operation for the purposes of carrying out audits, inspection, sample collection, product inspections, interviews of staff, etc.
CFIA will only permit deep burial, if the non-compliant ship borne dunnage is buried at a minimum depth of 1.8 metres (must be covered with 1.8 metres of soil). The wood must be buried at a site where the re-excavation of the material will not occur and where any covenants required on land title to ensure that re-excavation does not occur can be completed. Wood must not be left exposed within the burial pit.
Any ship borne dunnage that is not processed, including secondary products produced during processing, must be disposed of in the manner approved by a CFIA inspector as specified in the Application for Participation in the Non-compliant Ship Borne Dunnage Disposal and Processing Program (Appendix 4).
The period in which disposal or processing may be carried out may be extended by a CBSA inspector, provided the designated facility has additional mechanisms to mitigate the distribution of pests or there exists environmental conditions which preclude the distribution of pests (e.g. periods may be extended during the winter in some parts of the country). A CBSA inspector will provide in writing the period by which disposal or processing must be completed.
Designated facilities must immediately notify a local CFIA office upon the detection of any unusual pests on non-compliant ship borne dunnage at the disposal or processing facility.
The designated facility must maintain records pertaining to the handling, storage, processing or disposal of non-compliant ship borne dunnage for a minimum of 2 years.

Much of the negative literature of the Middle Ages drew heavily on the writings from Greek and Roman antiquity. The writings of Ptolemy in particular dominated concepts of Scotland till the late Medieval period and drew on stereotypes perpetuating fictitious as well as satirical accounts of the Kingdom of the Scots. The English Church and the propaganda of royal writs from 1337 to 1453 encouraged a barbarous image of the kingdom as it allied with England's enemy France, during the Hundred Years' War.[3] Medieval authors seldom visited Scotland but called on such accounts as "common knowledge", influencing the works of Boece's "Scotorum Historiae" (Paris 1527) and Camden's "Brittania" (London 1586) plagiarising and perpetuating negative attitudes. In the 16th century Scotland and particularly the Gaelic speaking Highlands were characterised as lawless, savage and filled with wild Scots. As seen in Camden's account to promote an image of the nation as a wild and barbarous people:
They drank the bloud [blood] out of wounds of the slain: they establish themselves, by drinking one anothers bloud [blood] and suppose the great number of slaughters they commit, the more honour they winne [win] and so did the Scythians in old time. To this we adde [add] that these wild Scots, like as the Scythians, had for their principall weapons, bowes and arrows. Camden (1586)[4]
Camden's accounts were modified to compare the Highland Scots to the inhabitants of Ireland.[5] Negative stereotypes flourished and by 1634, Austrian Martin Zeiller linked the origins of the Scots to the Scythians and in particular the Highlander to the Goths based on their wild and Gothic-like appearance.[6] Quoting the 4th-century Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus,[7] he describes the Scots as descendants of the tribes of the British Isles who were unruly trouble makers. With a limited amount of information, the Medieval geographer embellished such tales, including, less favourable assertions that the ancestors of Scottish people were cannibals.[5] A spurious accusation proposed by Saint Jerome's tales of Scythian atrocities was adapted to lay claims as evidence of cannibalism in Scotland. Despite the fact that there is no evidence of the ancestors of the Scots in ancient Gaul,[8] moreover St. Jerome's text was a mistranslation of Attacotti,[9] another tribe in Roman Britain, the myth of cannibalism was attributed to the people of Scotland:
What shall I [St. Jerome] say of other nations – how when I was in Gaul as a youth I saw the Scots, a British race, eating human flesh, and how, when these men came upon the forests upon herds of swine and sheep, and cattle, they would cut off the buttocks of the shepherds and paps of the woman and hold these for their greatest delicasy.
A part of the spurious De Situ Britanniae.
Accepted as fact with no evidence, such ideas were encouraged and printed as seen in De Situ Britanniae a fictitious account of the peoples and places of Roman Britain. It was published in 1757, after having been made available in London in 1749. Accepted as genuine for more than one hundred years, it was virtually the only source of information for northern Britain (i.e., modern Scotland) for the time period, and historians eagerly incorporated its spurious information into their own accounts of history. The Attacotti were mentioned in De Situ Britanniae, and their homeland was specified[10][11] as just north of the Firth of Clyde, near southern Loch Lomond, in the region of Dunbartonshire. This information was combined with legitimate historical mentions of the Attacotti to produce inaccurate histories and to make baseless conjectures. For example, Edward Gibbon combined De Situ Britanniae with St. Jerome's description of the Attacotti by musing on the possibility that a 'race of cannibals' had once dwelt in the neighbourhood of Glasgow.
These views were echoed in the works of Dutch, French and German authors. Nicolaus Hieronymus Gundling proposed that the exotic appearance and cannibalism of the Scottish people made them akin to the savages of Madagascar. Even as late as the mid-18th century, German authors likened Scotland and its ancient population to the exotic tribes of the South Seas.[12] With the close political ties of the Franco-Scottish alliance in the late Medieval period, before William Shakespeare's Macbeth, English Elizabethan theatre dramatised the Scots and Scottish culture as comical, alien, dangerous and uncivilised. In comparison to the manner of Frenchmen who spoke a form of English,[13] Scots were used in material for comedies; including Robert Greene's James IV in a fictitious English invasion of Scotland satirising the long Medieval wars with Scotland. English fears and hatred were deeply rooted in the contemporary fabric of society, drawing upon stereotypes as seen in Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles" and politically edged material such as George Chapman's Eastward Hoe in 1605, offended King James with its anti-Scottish satire, resulting in the imprisonment of the playwright.[14] Despite this, the play was never banned or suppressed. Authors such as Claude Jordan de Colombier in 1697 plagiarised earlier works,[15] Counter-Reformation propaganda associated the Scots and particularly Highland Gaelic-speakers as barbarians from the north[16] who wore nothing but animal skins. Confirming old stereotypes relating back to Roman and Greek philosophers in the idea that "dark forces" from northern Europe (soldiers from Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, France and Scotland) acquired a reputation as fierce warriors.[17][18][19] With Lowland soldiers along the North Sea and Baltic Sea, as well as Highland mercenaries wearing the distinctive Scottish kilt, became synonymous with that of wild, rough and fierce fighting men.[20]
However, the fact that Scots had married into every royal house in Europe who had also married into the Scottish royal house indicates that the supposed anti-Scottish sentiment there has been exaggerated as opposed to in England where the wars and raids in Northern England increased anti-Scottish sentiment. An increase in the English anti-Scottish sentiments after the Jacobite uprisings and the anti-Scottish bills of parliament are clearly shown in comments by leaders in English such as Samuel Johnson, whose anti-Scottish remarks such as that "in those times nothing had been written in the Earse [i.e. Scots Gaelic] language" is well known.[21]
Anti-Highlander and anti-Jacobite sentiment
Sawney Beane at the Entrance of His Cave. published in the 1720s The Newgate Calendar caption: The woman in the background carries a severed leg.
Stereotypes of Highland cannibalism lasted till the mid-18th century and were embraced by Lowland Scots Presbyterian and English political and anti-Jacobite propaganda, in reaction to a series of Jacobite uprisings, rebellions, in the British Isles between 1688 and 1746. The Jacobite uprisings themselves in reaction to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, were aimed at returning James VII of Scotland and II of England, and later his descendants of the House of Stuart. Anti-Jacobite predominantly anti-Highland propaganda of the 1720s includes publications such as the London Newgate Calendar a popular monthly bulletin of executions, produced by the keeper of Newgate Prison in London. One Newgate publication created the legend of Sawney Bean, the head of a forty-eight strong clan of incestual, lawless and cannibalistic family in Galloway. Although based on fiction, the family were reported by the Calendar to have murdered and cannibalised over one thousand victims. Along with the Bible and John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, the Calendar was famously in the top three works most likely to be found in the average home and the Calendar's title was appropriated by other publications, who put out biographical chapbooks. With the intent to create a work of fiction to demonstrate the superiority of the Protestant mercantile establishment in contrast to the 'savage pro-Jacobite uncivilised Highland Gaels'.[22][23]
From 1701 to 1720 a sustained Whig campaign of anti-Jacobite pamphleteering across Britain and Ireland sought to halt Jacobitism as a political force and undermine the claim of James II and VII to the British throne. In 1705 Lowland Scots Protestant Whig politicians in the Scottish parliament voted to sustain a status quo and to award financial incentives of £4,800 to each writer having served the interests of the nation.[24][25] Such measures had the opposite effect and furthered the Scots towards the cause, enabling Jacobitism to flourish as a sustaining political presence in Scotland.[24] Pro-Jacobite writings and pamphleteers e.g. Walter Harries and William Sexton were liable to imprisonment of for producing in the eyes of the government seditious or scurrilous tracts and all copies or works were seized or destroyed.[26] Anti-Jacobite Pamphleteering, as an example An Address to All True Englishmen[27] routed a sustained propaganda war with Scotland's pro-Stuart supporters ensued and British Whig campaigners pushed a pro-Saxon and the anti-Highlander nature of Williamite satire[28] resulting in a backlash by pro-Jacobite pamphleteers.
From 1720 Lowland Scots Presbyterian Whiggish literature sought to remove the Highland Jacobite, being beyond the pale, or an enemy of John Bull or a unified Britain and Ireland as seen in Thomas Page's The Use of the Highland Broadsword published in 1746.[29] Propaganda of the time included the minting of anti-Jacobite or anti-Highlander medals,[30] and political cartoons to promote the Highland Scots as a barbaric and backward people,[31] similar in style to the 19th-century depiction of the Irish as being backward or barbaric, in Lowland Scottish publications such as The Economist.[31] Plays like William Shakespeare's Scottish play Macbeth, was popularised and considered a pro-British, pro-Hanoverian and anti-Jacobite play.[13] Prints such as Sawney in The Boghouse, itself a reference to the tale of Sawney Bean, depicted the Highland Scots as too stupid to use a lavatory and gave a particularly 18th-century edge to traditional depictions of cannibalism.[32] The Highland Scots people were promoted as brutish thugs, figures of ridicule and no match for the "civilised" Lowland Scots supporters of the Protestant Hanovarians. They were feminised as a parody of the female disguise used by Bonny Prince Charlie in his escape,[32] and as savage warriors that needed the guiding hand of the industrious Lowland Scots Protestants to render them civilised.[29]
William Hogarth's francophobic painting The Gate of Calais or O! The Roast Beef of Old England, in which in the foreground, a Highlander, an exile from the Jacobite rising of 1745,[33] sits slumped against the wall, his strength sapped by the poor French fare – a raw onion and a crust of bread.
Depictions included the Highland Scots Jacobites as ill-dressed and ill-fed, loutish and verminous usually in league with the French[34] as can be seen in William Hogarth's 1748 painting The Gate of Calais with a Highlander exile sits slumped against the wall, his strength sapped by the poor French fare – a raw onion and a crust of bread. Political cartoons in 1762 depict the Prime Minister, Lord Bute (accused of being a Jacobite sympathiser), as a poor John Bull depicted with a bulls head with crooked horns ridden by Jacobite Scots taking bribes from a French monkey[34] Anti-Jacobite sentiment was captured in a verse appended to various songs, including in its original form as an anti-Jacobite song Ye Jacobites By Name, God save the King with a prayer for the success of Field Marshal George Wade's army which attained some short-term use debatably in the late 18th century. This song was widely adopted and was to become the national anthem of Britain now known as "God Save the Queen" (but never since sung with that verse).
Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King.
The 1837 article and other sources make it clear that this verse was not used soon after 1745, and certainly before the song became accepted as the British national anthem in the 1780s and 1790s.[35] On the opposing side, Jacobite beliefs were demonstrated in an alternative verse used during the same period, attacking Lowland Scots Presbyterianism:[36]
God bless the prince, I pray,
Charlie I mean;
That Scotland we may see
Freed from vile Presbyt'ry,
Both George and his Feckie,
Ever so, Amen.
In 2007 a number of Scottish MPs warned of increasing anti-Scottish sentiment in England, citing the increased tension over Devolution, the West Lothian question and the Barnett formula as causes.[37]
There have been a number of attacks on Scots in England in recent years. In 2004 a Scottish former soldier was attacked by a gang of children and teenagers with bricks and bats, allegedly for having a Scottish accent.[38] In Aspatria, Cumbria, a group of Scottish schoolgirls say they received anti-Scottish taunts and foul language from a group of teenage girls during a carnival parade.[39] An English football supporter was banned for life for shouting "Kill all the Jocks" before attacking Scottish football fans.[40] One Scottish woman says she was forced to move from her home in England because of anti-Scottish feeling,[41] while another had a haggis thrown through her front window.[42] In 2008 a student nurse from London was fined for assault and hurling anti-Scottish abuse at police while drunk during the T in the Park festival in Kinross.[43]
In June of 2019, an anti-Scottish poem titled "Friendly Fire" was recirculated on the internet, leading to criticism of Boris Johnson. The poem was written by James Michie and published in The Spectator magazine in 2004 by Johnson, who was editor of the magazine at the time.[44] The poem reads:
The Scotch – what a verminous race!
Canny, pushy, chippy, they're all over the place,
Battening off us with false bonhomie,
Polluting our stock, undermining our economy.
Down with sandy hair and knobbly knees!
Suppress the tartan dwarves and the Wee Frees!
Ban the kilt, the skean-dhu and the sporran
As provocatively, offensively foreign!
It's time Hadrian's Wall was refortified
To pen them in a ghetto on the other side.
I would go further. The nation
Deserves not merely isolation
But comprehensive extermination.
We must not flinch from a solution.
(I await legal prosecution.)
In a 2007 obituary titled James Michie, gentle genius, Boris Johnson dubbed Michie "one of the most distinguished poets and translators of the 20th century" and referred to "Friendly Fire" as an example of how he wrote "whimsically, sometimes with bite."[45]
The term Scottish mafia is a pejorative term used to refer to a group of Scottish Labour Party politicians and broadcasters who are believed to have had undue influence over the governance of England, such as the constitutional arrangement allowing Scottish MPs to vote on English matters, but not the other way around. The termed had found usage in the UK press[46][47] and in parliamentary debates.[48][49] Members of this group include Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, Charles Falconer, Derry Irvine, Michael Martin and John Reid.
An edition of the BBC satirical show Have I Got News for You aired on 26 April 2013 prompted over 100 complaints to the BBC and Ofcom for its perceived anti-Scottish stance during a section discussing Scottish independence. Panelist Paul Merton had suggested Mars bars would become the currency of a post-independence Scotland, while guest host Ray Winstone added, "To be fair the Scottish economy has its strengths – its chief exports being oil, whisky, tartan and tramps."[50]
In July 2006, former editor of The Sun Kelvin MacKenzie ,who is of Scottish descent himself; his grandfather hailed from Stirling,[51] wrote a column referring to Scots as 'Tartan Tosspots' and mocking the fact that Scotland has a lower life expectancy than the rest of the U.K. MacKenzie's column provoked a storm of Scottish protest and was heavily condemned by numerous commentators including Scottish MPs and MSPs.[52] In October 2007, MacKenzie appeared on the BBC's Question Time TV programme and launched another attack on Scotland, claiming that:
Scotland believes not in entrepreneurialism like London and the south east… Scots enjoy spending [money] but they don't enjoy creating it, which is the opposite to down south.[53]
"The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees, is the high road that leads to England." – Samuel Johnson[54]

There's a reason for the high ratio of fluffy-toasty marshmallow to the more modest layer of rich, dense chocolate ganache. It strikes a balance! And the graham crust is essential - you can't have a proper S'mores Pie without graham cracker in the mix, right?
There's not a lot of time investment in making this pie, but you'll have to wait around for the chocolate ganache to set. If you're impatient like me, you can stick it in the freezer to speed things up.
Feel free to adjust or omit the bourbon in this recipe. It does not greatly change the consistency of the set ganache.
Whisk together crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan or spring-form pan. Set aside.
Heat the heavy cream in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot but not boiling. You may also heat the cream in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave at 1 minute intervals.
Remove cream from heat source and pour in the chocolate. Let stand for 3 minutes. Whisk until chocolate has melted and mixture is completely smooth. Whisk in bourbon. Pour mixture over the graham cracker crust and refrigerate several hours until set (or store in the freezer for quicker setting time).
Beat egg whites, vanilla and salt at high speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar 1 tbsp at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
Beat in 1/4 of the marshmallow creme. Repeat with remaining creme until meringue is well mixed and fluffy. Fold in mini marshmallows with a rubber spatula.
Heap meringue in the middle of the pie and swirl with the back of a spoon or spatula. Brown with a kitchen torch. You may also brown in the oven on the "broil" setting, but be sure to watch it constantly so the meringue does not burn.
Keep refrigerated. Garnish with chocolate bar and whole graham cracker. Bring slices to room temperature before serving.
Mountain of Marshmallowy Magnificence! Love the addition of booze to make it "grown up"!
seriously?! I will say it ... everything that you post makes my mouth water. and is beautiful. thanks for sharing (everything) and i can't wait to try this one! you are BRILLIANT. seriously awesome.
OMG, that is A BOMB! What a fabulous pie. I love your autumn pictures.
Is there another way to do it without the whites...they always freak me out! I so want to make this though!
Looks fabulous. I recently made s'more cookies which was a mission because I had to track down graham crackers in London. Definitely worth the hunt and now I can make this with the rest, yay!
@imagretch if you have an egg allergy, you could just top the pie with the marshmallow cream and toast it - but if it's the raw egg whites that are making you nervous then I'd suggest getting powdered egg whites. They are pasteurized and you can mix up the amount for three and replace fresh egg whites in this recipe.
i'll take a little extra bourbon...maybe on the side ;) looks amazing!
Oh Heather this recipe is absolutely amazing!
I love your pics, they look great as always!
Beautiful..I will be buying your book..You're amazing.
This sounds so perfect for a cool autumn night. What an awesome way to do S'mores!
Heather this is just beautiful!! And I LOOOOVE your boots!!
Woah. My brain seriously just fell out of my HEAD looking at this pie. I love that it's so pretty, I love that it's spiked, I just LOVE IT. And I LOVE YOUR BOOTS!!!!!!
Every single recipe that you post looks so absolutely amazing. I could really use some of that pie right now.
It's such a work of art! And the Bourbon ganache sounds heavenly and all mixed with smores...Heather, it's stunning!
This looks DELICIOUS! I'm definitely going to try this one!
Visit if you'd like to enter my vintage giveaway!
Oh my goodness, this looks divine. Loving the height and the sound of the bourbon ganache too. And the cake stand is awesome too!
Love that super thick marshmallow layer! Looks mouthwatering!
Oh my!! That looks AMAZING!
Wowzers. That looks incredible! Beautiful photos!
This pie looks INCREDIBLE. :D What a fabulous dessert.
The pie looks amazing....but even more, who makes the cake stand....I must have this.
Aaaah I love that first photo. I want to dive headfirst into the meringue...is that wrong?
OMG, I need this in my life!
Are you kidding? This is gorgeous!
L'aspetto di questo dolce è strepitoso, complimenti davvero!!!
Not only do I want the pie, I want your dog (I'm allergic, sadly) and you must tell us where you got those fabulous boots! You are truly an amazing food artist!
Only you can elevate the humble camp fire sm'ores to a whole new level!!
A woman after my own heart. I can hardly think chocolate anymore without finding a way to add some bourbon. This really moves my favorite Girl Scout treat to a new adult level! Gorgeous.
S'mores & Bourbon? Yes please!
What a showstopper!! Adding this to my lists of must-makes!
Probably the most stunning pie I've ever seen!!
And I love those boots!!!
Well doesn't that just look amazing. I'm going to have to try this out next weekend!
Is it wrong that I want to take a nap on that delectable marshmallow cloud?
i still cannot get over how incredible this is. INCREDIBLE!!
Oo, bouuuuurbon. What an idea.
I love the marshmallow top. Looks gorgeous, and must taste killer. Gotta make it!
Oh. Man. I need now! Seriously amazing sounding and looking, great job..
All that meringue is just amazing, piled so high! I expect to see a tiny, little skier on the slopes:) What an awesome pie!
Yummmm....and now I'm wondering how it would taste with Bailey's instead of Bourbon!!!! May have to experiment!
This looks absolutely lovely and I'm going to try it tomorrow, I was just wondering do you not melt the mini marshmallows?
No, you don't melt the marshmallows, you just fold them in. The moisture from the meringue makes them soft and fluffy. It's so good.
This would definitely cure what ails me!
* I bought mini bottle of white jim beam bourbon- do you think it a appropriate/fit for the ganache recipe?
* and more important: do you think that i can reaplace about 20%-30% of the ganache with high quality milk chocolate?
i would be happy if you'll find the time and answer me..
so don't be intimidated if you're new to cooking!
tastes amazing. great way of incorporating a classic into a more presentable dessert.
Like everything else you make, this pie is GORGEOUS!!! I want to make it (along with several other pies) for a fall party...how far ahead can it be made? Thanks for another beautiful dessert!
The pie looks amazing... could you also tell me where you got your gorgeous wellies!!
My birthday is October 12th and my son's is October 17th. I always make a cake for the two of us sometime in the middle, and when he saw this picture over my shoulder, nothing else would do for his 11th birthday. I made it without booze, finally got to use the kitchen torch I'd been gifted the year before, and had FUN making it. The fact that it was also delicious was just an added bonus. I have a feeling I'll be making this one for lots of years to come.
I love this recipe! I put cherry brandy in instead of the Bourbon and it may be my New Favourite Thing. Thanks!
Please can anyone tell me where I can buy a metal cake stand like this ?
Made this for a party. Chocolate was way too rich. Looked great but almost too rich to eat.
I followed the instructions, checking twice, & the ganache was runny. I had to freeze it overnight last night to get it to set. Any thoughts as to what went wrong?


If you've ever had to paint or repaint a room in your home, you're fully aware of the arduous task of heading to your local hardware store and having to choose from the hundreds of color swatches available to you. And while many might enjoy this domestic decision-making process, most of us would rather watch paint dry (that is, if you have the paint to begin with, of course).
The following collection of images represents a select group of individuals who've used those free color swatches you can get at any paint store and turned them into fantastic works of wall art. Whether it's a sprawling wallpaper taking up an entire side of your bedroom or a subtle piece in a picture frame, there's no denying the creative effort that went into these works.

Q: How to send multiple radio values with AJAX get method How can I send the values of multiple radio button states in an AJAX request?
The JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#action").click(function(){

            var title = [];
            var type = [];

            $(".title").each(function() {
                title.push($(this).val());
            });

            $(".type").each(function() {///i don't know what put there
                type.push($(this).val());
            });

            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: 'create',
                data: {
                    title: title,
                    type: type
                    },
                success: function (data) {
                    $('#result').html(data);
                }
            });

    });

});

The HTML code:
number 1
<input class="form-control title" name="title[]" type="hidden" />

<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="0" >
<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="1" >
<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="3" >

number 2
<input class="form-control title" name="title[]" type="hidden" />

<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="0" >
<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="1" >
<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="3" >

number 3
<input class="form-control title" name="title[]" type="hidden" />

<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="0" >
<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="1" >
<input class="type" type="radio" name="type[]" value="3" >
