whenever i do roast chicken following any of Bittman's recipes, the smoke detector goes off. Amazingly, this time daughter apparently continued to nap through it.

This is why I always disable the smoke detectors upon moving to a new place. I dislike getting machines scream at me whenever I cook. - Christina Pikas - -

oh man, hope I don't have to pay my employer back for the $60 surcharge Maryland put on my bill. I really can't afford any thing extra. Poor grad students - it's not covered for them by tuition remission or anything.

I get told my library doesn't exist by someone on our technical staff probably once a month. And today someone in my group said she didn't know we offered training or she would have come... i just don't even know.

this is from AIAA from a 2006 journal article. so if it's not copyrightable, then why isn't in NASA's technical report archive? why isn't it on the NASA web site for the program? why would i pay $10 to make a personal or internal copy? - Christina Pikas - -

I don't think you're paying for the copy service because it's asking the *copier* to pay the fee to CCC, not asking you to pay the fee to the copier. - Christina Pikas - -
