Perma Ice Icing-1 Quart. Magic Line Perma Ice® is ideal icing for decorating dummy cakes, show cakes, ice cream displays and more. It is a non-edible, artificial icing specially formulated for creating beautiful display cakes. It looks exactly like ice cream if you use an ice cream dipper(tint a bit off white with paint set number 35-550 or acrylic paint). It may be thinned with water to appear as a milk shake, ice cream topping, etc. Slowly whip Perma Ice, then put in a pastry bag with a large star tip. Pipe on artificial sundae or milkshake to look like whip cream. Roll Perma Ice into a ball, paint red with acrylic paint when dry and when that dries, put on the fake Perma Ice "whipped cream" to look like a cherry. 1, record 4, English, - Perma%2Dice%20icing

Rhizoctonia canker, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani, is a fairly common problem on potato production in Kansas. The disease may occur as a surface blemish on the tubers or more seriously as a disease on new sprouts from seed pieces. Affected tubers may be pitted or cracked, but commonly they only show flat irregular lumps or specks(similar to small clumps of soil) on the skin which will not wash off. 3, record 6, English, - black%20scurf

The Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment(ASTEX) was conducted in June 1992 off North Africa, in the area of Azores and Madeira Islands. ASTEX was based on two islands and several ships in an area where the total cloud cover(mostly stratocumulus) ranges from 50-60%. The region is dominated by low-level clouds with moderate optical thicknesses, from about 1 to 10 on average. The optically thinner(more highly broken) clouds generally have cloud tops below the 800 mb level). The optically thicker clouds have lower top pressures down to about 700 mb. The region is characterized by broken low cloudiness and strong gradients of low level cloud amount. Satellite studies show cloud conditions ranging from solid stratocumulus decks to broken trade cumulus. The region is not directly influenced by continental effects, and islands provide suitable sites for surface observations and aircraft operations. ASTEX was thus able to address issues related to the stratocumulus to trade-cumulus transition and cloud-mode selection. 2, record 12, English, - Atlantic%20Stratocumulus%20Transition%20Experiment

There are few pairs of words more frequently misused, each for the other, than "flaunt" and "flout"... The distinction is really very simple. "Flaunt" means to "show something off proudly or boastfully" :"The drum corps proudly flaunts its colors. ""Flout" means to "show scorn or contempt for a person or thing" :"The speeding driver flouts the law. " 3, record 17, English, - flout%20the%20law
Record number: 17, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Confusion of these terms is distressingly common. "Flout" means "to contravene or disregard; to treat with contempt. ""Flaunt" means "to show off or parade(something) in an ostentatious manner, "but is often incorrectly used for "flout", perhaps because it is misunderstood as a telescoped version of "flout" and "taunt". 4, record 17, English, - flout%20the%20law
Record number: 17, Textual support number: 3 OBS
The use of "flaunt" to mean "to ignore or treat with disdain" is strongly objected by many usage guides, which insist that only "flout" can properly express this meaning ... many regard the senses of "flaunt" and "flout" as entirely unrelated and concerned speakers and writers still continue to keep them separate. 5, record 17, English, - flout%20the%20law

Historical records of the Southern Oscillation index and of the sea-surface temperature off the Peruvian coast show the two variables are linked, although the association is not perfect. The Southern Oscillation index is calculated by subtracting the atmospheric surface pressure at Darwin, Australia, from the pressure at Easter Island. When the index is positive, the east-west pressure gradient is greater than normal and the trade winds are stronger; conversely, a negative index indicates weak trade winds. 2, record 18, English, - positive%20southern%20oscillation%20index
