Edmunds' Expert Review
The 2010 Porsche 911 remains the quintessential sports car that only gets better with every passing year.
Vehicle overview
Buying a sports car isn't a rational affair. It's like trying to pick the tastiest dessert or most melodious music. The car that pleases the 13-year-old inside you is most likely the one that'll end up in your garage. But what if that car you oh-so desire also makes some sense? What if it returned 27 mpg, but also hit 60 mph in 4.2 seconds? What if it made mincemeat of a mountain road, but also could take you to San Francisco with a golf bag and a weekend's worth of luggage? What if it had been around so long that its engineers have been simply perfecting perfection?
If it sounds like we're bowing to the sacred cow of the 2010 Porsche 911, you'd be right. But what choice do we have when every single one of this car's umpteen variations is so darned good? Just look at that Pros and Cons list above. Rarely is there such a gross disparity and we easily could've added four or five more pros. Heck, even the second con is easily corrected by opting for the Turbo's PDK shift paddles.
Last year saw the 911 gain a number of welcome improvements to its powertrains, equipment list and interior controls, though several of its higher-performance models went on vacation. This year, the GT3 and track-ready GT3 RS have returned and get most of last year's improvements, along with more power and unique additions of their own. The 911 Turbo also gets a power boost that sees it hit the 500-horsepower milestone. Yep, the 911 just got even better.
However, despite our affection for the 2010 Porsche 911 and appreciation for its remarkably well-rounded nature, there are a wide variety of sports cars that compete with its myriad iterations. Just naming them -- Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Audi R8, Chevy Corvette, Jaguar XK, Lotus Evora, Maserati GranTurismo, Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan GT-R -- is like announcing the starting lineup of an all-star team. We'd have a hard time arguing against any of them, but in the end, it really only matters what that 13-year-old inside you thinks.
2010 Porsche 911 models
The 2010 Porsche 911 comes in a multitude of trims and body styles: Carrera and Carrera S are available in coupe and convertible (Cabriolet) body styles, while Carrera 4, Carrera 4S and Turbo add all-wheel drive and larger rear fenders to those same body styles. The GT3 and GT3 RS are coupe-only, while the Targa 4 and Targa 4S are essentially Carrera 4 models with a large power-sliding glass roof.
All 911 Carrera and Targa trims come standard with 18-inch wheels, performance tires, bi-xenon headlights, a sunroof, cruise control, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, power-reclining front seats (with manual fore-aft and height adjustment), split-folding rear seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a touchscreen electronics interface and a nine-speaker stereo with CD/DVD player. The Cabriolet includes a power soft top, while the Targa includes a bigger and more complex sunroof and an opening rear window hatch. The S trims add a more powerful engine, 19-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension and a sport steering wheel.
The Turbo adds to the Carrera a turbocharged flat-6, 19-inch forged wheels, a more aggressive suspension tune, unique body styling, full power front seats, full leather interior, auto-dimming interior and driver-side mirrors, automatic wipers and a 13-speaker Bose surround-sound system.
The two-seat-only GT3 gets a bigger flat-6 engine, a limited-slip differential, 19-inch centerlock wheels, enhanced brakes, a retuned adaptive suspension, lighter-weight body panels, full underbody paneling, sport seats, faux-suede upholstery and trim and a downgraded four-speaker stereo with CD player. The sunroof is deleted, however. The GT3 RS gets more horsepower, even more aggressive suspension tuning, a plastic rear window (for weight reduction), a fixed carbon-fiber rear wing, unique exterior elements and full manual seats.
The 911's options list runs longer than the federal budget, with an endless number of customizable features that will wrap just about anything in leather, or paint it any exterior color. Regular options on the non-GT3 models include different wheels, ceramic composite brakes, adaptive suspension (base Carrera), a limited-slip differential (Carrera, Cabriolet and Targa models) adaptive headlights, PDK shift paddles (non-Turbo), sport exhaust, parking sensors, auto-dimming interior and driver-side mirrors, fully powered front seats, sport seats (in three different designs), heated seats, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, different steering wheel designs, the Turbo's Bose stereo, Bluetooth, a navigation system, a six-CD/DVD changer, voice controls, satellite radio and an iPod interface.
The Sport Chrono Package Plus adds a lap timer, adjustable driver settings and, with PDK, launch control. The Carrera S Powerkit upgrades the engine to 408 hp through a variety of powertrain upgrades. The GT3 and GT3 RS can be equipped with most of these items, but not all. Also its optional upgraded stereo is the Carrera's base nine-speaker system, and there are a number of further performance upgrades available.
2010 Highlights
Performance & mpg
The 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a rear-mounted 3.6-liter horizontally opposed (a.k.a. "flat" or "boxer") six-cylinder engine that produces 345 horsepower and 288 pound-feet of torque. The Carrera S gets a 3.8-liter flat-6 that produces 385 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Carrera S Powerkit ups the ante to 408 hp. The GT3 features a 3.8-liter flat-6 good for 435 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, while the GT3 RS produces 450 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. The Turbo gets a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-6 that cranks out 500 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque.
The Turbo and models with 4 in their name come with all-wheel drive. Otherwise, the 911 is rear-wheel drive. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on all 911 models, though the Carrera, Cabriolet and Targa have a hill start assist function. Optional on all but the GT3 and GT3 RS is Porsche's seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual known as PDK (a.k.a. Porsche-doppelkupplungsgetriebe -- Porsche double-clutch gearbox).
In performance testing, both a Carrera 4S coupe with a manual and a Carrera S Cabriolet with PDK went from zero to 60 mph in an impressively quick 4.2 seconds. A regular Carrera should be just a few tenths behind, and the GT3 models a few ticks ahead. Porsche estimates that the Turbo will do it in an astonishingly quick 3.2 seconds.
Fuel economy is excellent for a sports car. The 911 Carrera with PDK will return 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined, with all other Carrera variations differing by only 1 or 2 mpg. The GT3 and Turbo aren't remotely as frugal, but if you cared about frugality, you wouldn't be buying those, would you?
The 2010 Porsche 911 comes standard with antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags.
In brake testing, the 911 Carrera 4S came to a stop from 60 mph in 104 feet. The bigger brakes on the GT3 and Turbo could theoretically be even better. Given this excellent performance, you'd only need the optional ceramic composite brakes if you frequent high-performance driving events.
For a car with an exaggerated rear weight bias, it's always impressive how beautifully composed this classically designed Porsche remains in corners. 911s of yore earned a reputation for tricky at-the-limit handling, but those demons have long been exorcised -- especially when you get an all-wheel-drive model. The 2010 Porsche 911 is all about composure and man-machine communication (that goes double for the phenomenal GT3), and it has a lightweight finesse to it that no bruising Nissan GT-R can match.
The PDK transmission is a welcome happy medium for those who desire the traffic-friendly nature of not having a clutch, yet still want the rapid shift performance of a traditional manual. However, we're not fans of the awkward shift buttons. These can be replaced with optional shift paddles on the Turbo, but sadly you can't get them on other models.
Build quality is exceptional in the 2010 Porsche 911. Even those surfaces not swathed in soft hide are constructed of a material that's actually pretty consistent with the cow-sourced stuff. Other material highlights include a standard Alcantara headliner and deep carpet that extends up onto the doors, eliminating the possibility of scuffing any sort of lower door plastic.
As far as interior space goes, it doesn't get much better in the sports car realm. Sure, the 2+2 rear seats are mostly useless, but when folded, they provide a large cargo space that complements the frunk (aka front-trunk). Up front, supportive bucket seats with side bolsters hold both driver and passenger in place while cornering, without making either feel pinned in.
Large footwells, as well as a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel can accommodate drivers of nearly all sizes. Interior controls are now much simpler than in previous 911s, and items like navigation, Bluetooth, an iPod interface and cooled seats help make this sports car a viable daily driver.

28 February 2013 - Oklahoma City, OK (USA) and Lucca (Italy)
Maxcess Chooses Tagetik's Performance Management Software
Global manufacturing company to implement unified solution for budgeting, planning, forecasting, consolidations, and disclosure management
Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for Performance Management, Disclosure Management, Financial Governance and Business Intelligence, today announced that Maxcess International Corp, a world-class manufacturing facility that provides access to tension control, guiding, inspection, and winding and slitting products, selected Tagetik software as its solution for budgeting, planning, forecasting, consolidations, and collaborative disclosure management (CDM).
"We are very excited to be working with Tagetik, especially since we are confident that their software will help our Finance team achieve many new things in 2013," says Jay Hudson, Corporate Controller at Maxcess. "Up until now we were consolidating 14 entities with 9 currencies by hand in Excel, so we are ready for Tagetik to bring our reporting into the current century.
"The Tagetik platform will replace Maxcess's existing Excel-based solution with a unified Performance Management software to better manage their financial processes on an international level, such as monthly and quarterly budgets, forecasts, closings and annual plans, consolidated Balance Sheets, Profit&Loss, and Cash Flow statements, GAAP consolidation, and disclosure management for internal and external financial reporting.
With the guidance of the consulting firm, West Monroe Partners, Maxcess selected Tagetik based on their attention to detail during the demonstration phase, as well as their strong North American references which convinced their Corporate Controller that their unified Tagetik 4 solution had a quick implementation time and could be maintained with very little support. Another advantage was Tagetik's partnership with Microsoft and their easy integration with Microsoft SQL Server database.
"When we met with Maxcess their main goal was to relieve the financial pressure and to disseminate operating information to the private equity owners. They were considering other solutions, but chose to go with the full-suite of Tagetik 4 so they could meet their requirements in one end-to-end unified solution with a fast and accurate implementation," explainsMark Corsetti, Vice President & General Manager at Tagetik North America."We are extremely pleased to add Maxcess to the Tagetik community, and I know I speak for the whole company when I say that we are fully committed to seeing their success," concludes Manuel Vellutini – EVP, Chief Operating Officer at Tagetik. "Tagetik takes great pride in implementing projects on its own platform. Our consultants and partner network manage all project phases together with the customer. With Tagetik 4, we are confident Maxcess will streamline all of their business processes in the office of Finance and be able to take full advantage of the savings our unified software solution has to offer."

If you had a Nokia phone long, long ago—and if you were alive then, you probably did—the best time murdering/happy fun time you could do with it was to play Snake. Those buttons were a joy to push!
But even in the crowded sea of smartphone games now, nothing is quite as addictive as Snake was. That's why the original developer of old school Snake II on Nokia is making the same game for today's Nokia Lumia Windows Phones, complete with old school Nokia phone faceplate. Endless fun.

Weight Loss Strategies that Work
by Donna Quirk, RD LD MBA, Lexington Medical Center
A study published this month in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics highlights three effective strategies to practice that can lead to greater weight loss.
The study, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, followed 123 overweight and obese middle aged women who were all part of a larger trial looking at the effect of diet and exercise on hormones. The women who lost the most weight (approximately 19 lbs. in a year) consistently –
• Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Why? Skipping meals may lead to overeating and snacking because of hunger. Eating breakfast may actually jump start the body's metabolism and provide important energy to start the day.
• Kept detailed food journals. Why? Writing down everything you eat increases your level of accountability and responsibility. You can see in black and white what you have eaten and learn more about your eating habits. When journaling it is a good idea to record the times you eat, your hunger level, and portion sizes along with what you eat.
• Avoided restaurant or carry out meals at lunch. Why? Probably because large portion sizes and higher calorie foods are the norm when eating out. Taking some time to plan and pack a lunch from home helps with calorie control and keeps weight loss on track.
Whether you're starting out or looking to jump start your weight loss, using these three strategies can help you achieve success!
Planning and packing a lunch can be tough. To give you an idea, this is what I'm eating this week for lunch. I'll enjoy great flavor while getting 2 to 3 fruit and veggie servings, 1/3 of my daily fiber, antioxidants, and heart healthy oil. I plan to eat the salad like salsa with baked tortilla chips and use it as the filling in a whole wheat tortilla. Might add some avocado, too!

The UNITAR Hiroshima Office Series on the Management and Conservation of World Heritage Sites aims to enhance implementation of the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention through providing support to national policy making and planning, and information exchange on best practices and case studies. Newly developed "values-based management" methodologies are applied in all aspects of natural and cultural heritage management.
The fifth workshop of the Series will be organized from 30 March to 4 April 2008 in Hiroshima, Japan, and will focus on the role of heritage in the promotion of peace, reconciliation and reconstruction in war-torn, post-war and post-disaster societies. Study tours to the two World Heritage sites in Hiroshima - Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) and Itsukushima Shinto Shrine - will provide a living laboratory and direct learning opportunities.
Specifically, the workshop will:
- Review the basics of the World Heritage regime, available information, updates and current trends;
- Elucidate the underlying principles of values-based heritage management, with a particular focus on peacebuilding;
- Consider the role of heritage in war-torn, post-conflict or post-disaster situations;
- Examine leading policies and strategies, identifying best practices and lessons learned;
- Create long-term management plans for sites, utilizing nomination dossier or periodical reporting formats;
- Enhance long-term learning and exchange among the participants.
Participants will be selected from actual or potential heritage site managers; natural/cultural conservation specialists and trainers; and decision makers and government officials within national world heritage administrations, i.e. Ministries of Environment, Culture, Forestry or Tourism. Priority will be given to representatives from post-conflict countries / sites affected by man-made or natural disasters. Some slots will also be made available to national academic institutions, think-tanks and civil society.
Eligible candidates are invited to apply before 31 January 2008 using the attached application form. Final selection will be made by an ad hoc selection committee. UNITAR scholarships, given in priority to least developed country participants, will cover tuition fees, travel, accommodation and meals. Candidates from industrialised countries should obtain financial support from their own countries/organisation but may be exempted from the tuition fee.
For more information, please contact Ms. Hiroko Nakayama at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Mr. James Short at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Miche Bacher and 'Cooking with Flowers'
Greenport chocolatier Miche Bacher's new book, "Cooking with Flowers" (Quirk, $24.95), comes out this week. Newsday talked to Bacher about picking, preparing and cooking with flowers.
What would you say to the cook who has only used flowers as a centerpiece?
When people think of flowers and food, they usually think of using them in salad or as a decoration. It's my mission to get people to see them as an ingredient in a dish, a delicious and healthful ingredient and not just a novelty.
Do flowers taste good?
Some are spicy, some are earthy, some are sweet with notes of mint, citrus or apple. Some flowers taste bitter, some taste like your grandmother's perfume. Flowers add complexity and color to food.
So how does the home cook get started?
You may already have flowers growing in pots in your yard that are good for cooking. If not, now is the time to go to the nursery. Before you pick anything and bring it into the kitchen, educate yourself about which flowers are, in fact, edible. Daffodils, for example, are not, while the tulips growing right next to them are. When in doubt, look it up. (A good source is tinyurl.com/prl4hz.)
Another option is foraging. Peterson's "Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants," available at Amazon.com, is a good guidebook. Pick a clean (and legal) spot. Resist the urge to stop by a field alongside a busy road. Roadside flowers will be covered with toxins from car exhaust.
And don't use flowers from a flower shop. Those blooms are most likely sprayed with pesticides not labeled for food crops. Instead, buy from trusted farm stands, where you can chat with the grower about your cooking plans.
How do you prepare the flowers?
Before cooking, take care to prepare edible flowers, washing them well and removing pistils and stamens, which hold the pollen.
Do cooks have to worry about possible allergic reactions, if they've never cooked with flowers before?
As when trying any new food, you should introduce flowers into your diet slowly. Some people who have hay fever, asthma or allergies may be allergic to flower petals as well.
For the novice, are herb flowers a good gateway into cooking with other kinds of flowers?
Absolutely. So many people are growing their own herbs. And then they think that when the herbs bolt and flower, that's it. But you're not done. Cut all those flowers and make pesto with them. You can do other things with herb flowers. I throw them into cookie dough, because I like a hint of savory in my sweets.
What do you do when fresh local flowers are unavailable?
You can use dried flowers. Lavender, in particular, is just as good dried as it is fresh. Hibiscus has more tart flavor when dried.
Say you have geraniums in your backyard, but no roses. Can you substitute one flower for another in your book's recipes?
For the most part, you can. But taste before you substitute, and substitute something with a similar flavor profile. As for geraniums and roses, yes, that substitution will work. So go for it.

The site of the Newkirk House dates back to one of the English patents at the Village of Bergen issued by Philip Carteret, the royal governor of New Jersey, to John Berry on July 20, 1669.
The tracts given to Berry were: No. 162 at the east corner of the village square, as well as six lots of woodland (No. 70), six lots from the Village of Bergen to the Hackensack River, and two adjoining plantations (No. 125) near Bergenwood Road, now Summit Avenue. The Newkirk Homestead was built on the latter tract that surrounded the east corner of the Village of Bergen, now Bergen Square.
Berry sold tract No. 125 and adjacent lots to Samuel Edsall in 1670. The property was then sold to two brothers, Mattheus Cornelissen and Gerrit Newkirk. They had arrived in America on the De Moesman from Holland in 1659. The origin of the family name comes from Van Niewkercke or "from new church" near their birthplace.
Mattheus C. Newkirk settled in the Dutch settlement of Flatbush (now in the Borough of Brooklyn, NY) and then moved to Bergen in 1665, a year after the English takeover of the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. According to Rosalie Fellows Bailey in Pre-Revolutionary Dutch Houses and Their Families in Northern New Jersey and Southern New York, "Matheus [sic] probably purchased the plantation as it was later divided between two of his younger sons, Gerrit and Poulus. The latter's home was on a two-acre plot willed to him by his mother in 1731" (307). Mattheus Newkirk died on May 12, 1705; he predeceased his wife (second) Catrina, mother of Gerrit and Poulus.
The time of construction of the Newkirk House on the historic property, however, remains in dispute. According to Bailey, "The house was a long, narrow, one and a half story building, of well dressed stone, covered with a gable roof. In the Holland Society Yearbook for 1915 is the statement that this house was built by the Newkirks in 1810. Matheus deeded the property this year to his son Garret Nieukerk so it is possible that the latter erected it then. However the lines of this house are more typical of the first half of the eighteenth century. In the later period the more usual type of building was a deeper house" (307)
Local historian J. Owen Grundy concurs that "from its architecture it appeared much older." He comments that the family members ". . . were still living in the old homestead in 1928, and that was two-hundred-and sixty-three years after their original ancestor moved just around the corner on the old Village Square" (Jersey Journal 31 December 1969). Since the house was razed shortly thereafter, confirmation of the year of construction is not possible.
The contemporary office building that occupies the site today as 2 Enos Place was recently renovated and added to the Journal Square campus of Hudson County Community College.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
A 28-cent increase in gas tax, along with higher registration and licensing fees to fix the roads and bridges, is unacceptable. What happened to all the tax money collected from the already-established fees and taxes, tolls, etc.? Is anybody accountable? Certainly, if the school districts can furlough teachers, somebody at the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation can find somewhere to save. Take-home vehicles, overtime expenditures, new hires being placed in a cost-effective retirement plan, privatization and outsourcing are some ideas for saving taxpayers money.
The argument that the increases are needed to stop bridges from crashing is similar to threatening to lay off police and fire unless the taxes are increased. The only problem is that I cannot remember any bridge in Pennsylvania collapsing, except the footbridge near Harrisburg back in 1996 after a storm. A 28-cent increase added to a state tax which is almost the highest in the nation will decrease the amount of vehicles that can afford to drive.
Maybe that's the plan: fewer drivers, less wear and tear on the roads. I will find out who voted this tax increase, spread the word and hold those politicians accountable next election.

Rocco wrote:I don't have stats on this or anything, but whenever the thread is posted a) more than an hour before gametime or b) after the game starts, bad things happen. There are also times where we've tried to go threadless for superstitious, but someone who wants to see his postcount rise will post a thread and screw up the strategy. It's a complicated issue, complicated by the fact that the person who posted this thread thinks Aleksey Morozov is a good NHL player, which makes me question his sanity.
I'm not sure I actually have the power to nullify this as the official thread. That would be like the Supreme Court granting itself a huge power that didn't necessarily have. (Oh, wait. Bad analogy.) Maybe we need to ask RJ who has the power to designate a thread official or not before asking me to do anything.
Being the responsible thread creator that I am I opted not to argue this last night. No one wants an official game thread degenerating to the old Morozov debate
Now afterwards, however, I want to clarify on my view of Morozov. He hasn't been good in the NHL, only for some stretches. I know. He's nothing short of awesome in Russia now though, and has been for two years. So if the price was right I wanted him to get another shot, playing as Malkin's RW. Because of his last two seasons, his potential, the 'new NHL' and because he's russian.
However, I wouldn't exactly sell my mother to get him over.
Now let's drop it, he's not here and never will be again =)

I haven't seen a thread like this so I thought I would start one up. This is where you post up the albums you just bought. This is a neverending thread so I expect to see this hopefully as a sticky at some point.
I recently picked up.....
Tragedy Khadafi - Intelligent Hoodlum double album.
Black Sheep - Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
Scientifik - Criminal
All are sick albums from the late eighties/early ninties....I would recommend them all.

Retrofitting the Streetlights in Boise, Idaho
You are here
Boise is an old pioneer town. It's fairly isolated and it has, you know, kind of a pioneering spirit still about it. People are very independent, very outdoorsy. It's a smallish metropolitan area but it's kind of a hip metropolitan area. It's a very, very neat place to live and work. And it's also becoming, you know, very environmentally focused because one of our biggest assets is the environment that surrounds and people, you know, enjoy it immensely.
Boise is a great example of a city that did one thing – replacing their streetlights – that has three benefits: It improves the quality of life, it has environmental benefits by using less energy and it saves money for the city.
We've just been overjoyed, frankly. That's the effect of this project. I've never seen a better project, a better use of funds. And those funds were leveraged many times over any federal program I've ever been involved in. It's the best I've seen in the time I've been here.
LED fundamentally – what it was designed or invented to do is essentially to put out a significant amount of light with a significantly smaller energy footprint. The trick is, how do you make a relatively low-cost product that, in fact, does the job? That's fundamentally what we had to put in place here in the city of Boise.
One of the beauties of this project is it's a project that could happen all year long. And so in our down season particularly, we were able to retain and even add electricians and apprentices to work on this project.
We could not have accomplished the streetlight retrofit without this grant money. We planned for it for a long period of time, looked for and knew about the technology, wanted to implement the technology, couldn't afford it. And so this created an opportunity to invest and now the taxpayers over the next 15 years are going to save up to $1.2 million, so we can continue to put that money back into other, similar kinds of projects.
The work that the DOE and the federal government has done around getting people to think about energy efficiency is extremely important because traditionally, cities in particular and utility companies are very conservative when it comes to investing in technology. And the fact that the government has been fairly focused on stimulating people to think differently about their energy footprint, the technologies they use, et cetera has been an important catalyst in this whole category of energy efficiency and energy technology.
To become part of the dialogue: That's probably the most important thing that's actually come out of all of this, is to really stimulate the activity around getting people changing their thinking about what we use in terms of technology and how we reverse this problem.

Yay! This is the last day of the dreaded cleanse. I've been told that I seem almost aggressively mellow. It's true: I feel like I'm in a cottony torpor sans caffeine. I can't wait for my first cup of real tea. I've even imagined the scenario of making my morning tea a couple of times. I'm really looking forward to my day of unhindered eating tomorrow. Not like I'm going to go crazy and eat a bunch of hamburgers or anything, just the idea of eating a peanut butter sandwich seems unbearably luxurious. That's why I love to do these silly stunts. They help me value what I have. And, it makes me feel lucky that I can feed myself with what I grow. Here's what I ate for the last two weeks:
3 winter squash triamble (i'm working on getting the seeds sent out…)= approx 10 pound
3.5 quart jars of apple sauce
2 quarts elephant heart plums
3 pints Italian plums
6 quarts canned tomatoes
5 pounds potatoes
bunches of kale and chard
15 lettuces
6 carrots (they're really not ready yet)
several leeks
several lemons/limes
head of cauliflower
many stems of mint/nettle
2 chantrelle mushrooms
10 quarts of milk
5 rounds of goat cheese
3 rabbits (cooked in various ways)
11 eggs (chickens are really not laying much yet)
I didn't weigh myself so I don't know that I lost weight, but ghod, I feel so much lighter and stronger. This might have to become an annual almost-spring ritual. Did I learn anything?
-Small plates make a small meal seem big
-Portion size is crucial: we just eat too much because we have too much
-Early to bed and up early seems like the best way to deal with hunger
-Exercise makes you forget you're hungry
-Feeding yourself with homegrown food isn't really that hard, you just have to have a bit of a stockpile of basics, and become creative with what you have.
-Caffeine makes me who I am.
Now that Bill's back from Mexico, we're going to clean out the cupboards with the catastrophe diet!

A wise friend once said, in reference to dating, "It sucks to put your trust in an untrustworthy person."
Truer words could not apply to the Alexa Di Carlo scandal. I think this paragraph from Expose A Bro, the blog that is outing Alexa as Thomas "Pat" Bohannan, sums up the accumulated violations pretty well:
Bohannan wasn't just harmlessly getting his kicks maintaining an anonymous blog where he could live out fantasies of being a desirable woman. He knowingly spread lies about sex work, advocated unsafe sexual practices, had sexually-inappropriate online interactions with underage youth, all the while passing himself off as an academic and trusted adult who is trained in human sexuality. (Refuted here.) He used bold-faced lies about his qualifications to try and discredit real sexuality activists, and laughed at their setbacks. He stole images from real models and passed them off as him– implicating these innocent bystanders as suspects in his activities. He bullied one activist by harassing her via email, and gleefully celebrated the demise of a valued sex workers rights publication, $pread Magazine. He threatened to expose another sex blogger. He purposefully mislead and misinformed his large online audience about important sexuality issues. He tricked escorts into talking to him and having sex with him by using "Alexa" to vouch for him as being a safe and respectful client. (More escorts are talking privately about feeling violated by having had sex with this con artist.) He ran a "sex education" message board where minors trusted him enough to share nude photographs of themselves.
Providing sex education for young people is difficult enough as it stands: dealing with fundamentalist groups determined to eradicate any talk of sex in schools, worrying losing your job for uncensored sex discussions, struggling for legitimacy in academia, making your voice heard above the din of bad advice from recognized experts and even defending oneself from personal character attacks.
So when someone makes a fake identity and starts doling out sex information using false credentials, this job gets much, much harder.
And when young people come forward about this person soliciting nudie pics from minors? Sheer litigious rage bubbles forth.
(I'm not even going to get into a discussion about the deplorable way Bohannan allegedly used the false sex worker identity to gain the trust of actual sex workers so he could employ their services. Wrong. Really, really wrong.)
There are some people that insist this person was never using fake credentials, simply mentioning living in San Francisco and going to some graduate program here.
No. I'll just put that notion to rest with some screengrabs after the jump. Continue reading Why the Alexa Di Carlo Thing Matters

I discover that we Indians have an unique way of mourning a death.

"Here the ways of men divide. If you wish to strive for peace of soul and happiness, then believe; if you wish to be a disciple of truth, then inquire." ― Friedrich Nietzsche
I discover that we Indians have an unique way of mourning a death.
I saw a news item that says Raj
May not really be representative of the true Rajkumar fan's views. I believe a lot of it was politically motivated and perhaps even orchestrated. I really suspect how you can have 15-25 somethings who are fans of an artist from a bygone era. They might not have connected with him at all...ReplyDelete
I agree. They may not be the 'true' fans. My intention is not to ridicule 'true' fans of Raj Kumar. But who will decide who is a 'true' fan?
People fight over issues concerning Prophet, Babur, Rama, Subhash Chandra Bose, and other historical figures whom they never met.
Got some photos of the attack on Talisma office. Blogged about it here.ReplyDelete
The worst part was for the bachelors who didnt have any food or water to drink the two days. I searched in vain for two days before i got one!ReplyDelete
This is how an average Bangalorean (who also happens to be a rioter) ....
WTF do u mean by that statement!
This is how an average Bangalorean (who also happens to be a rioter) ....
which includes u as well,u motherfucker.how can you over generalise?
you have not listed the areas in which the riots took place.a small part of bangalore is rioted and you extend it for the entire city.
and @some idiot who wrote:
i didnt get food to eat.well,there was a news flash abt bangalore bundh,the previous day dumbass.
although i do not agree with the generalisation regarding the avg bangalorean presented in the post.
@Anonymous .. quite clearly u
are acting like a rioter here ...
praise me and my city and if u dont do that be prepared for the abuses that i hurl at u ...
The riots showed Bangalore in really bad light, and again corrected the misconception that Bangalore is better than any other city in the country.
agree with u on most points .. although i feel that Rajkumar set a nice example by donating his eyes .. no need of mocking that.
This post plagiarised here...ReplyDelete
Thank you 'randramble' for pointing this out. I put a comment on his page to rectify the situation. Hope he does.ReplyDelete
Dear Mr.Anonymous...
i would definitely expect more decency in the comments tat you write; because unwanted words & expressions serve no purpose and carry no meaning to this dicussion here.
I agree with you when you take a particular example of a few people who dont know how to react !! As Ramya says: a lot of it was politcally motivated.
Even otherwise; people need to get mature while handling such things. Targeting the unwanted things due to some frustration is totally wrong. So i agree with you.
Lol.. LOL!! That's one of the funniest things I've read.. Nice! I like!ReplyDelete
I am an average Bangalorean, and please, I want the above Anonymous person hurling abuses to know that I am certainly NOT represented by him. He should realize that HE is the one who is not only misrepresenting Bangaloreans, but also tarnishing our image. Unlike him, most of the Bangaloreans I know are NOT narrow-minded and intolerant.
That having said, Sujai, I do want to voice my opinion that your sentence that consisted 'an average Bangalorean' is certainly not an accurate point. However, its obvious that your entire post was satirical and a reader stressing on those few words does not make sense. Yet, I would have liked your post better if it didnt claim that the rioter was an average Bangalorean. This is just my opinion.
Atrocities happen everywhere. Even such stupidity such as this Rajkumar's death riot. I wont be surprised if the same happens in Hyderabad when Chiranjeevi dies or in Chennai when Rajnikanth dies. Cheap politics and anti-social elements exist everywhere in the world. I am not saying we should start (or rather continue to) accept such atrocities as normal day-to-day behavior... ofcourse, we should fight against it, preferably with law, words, ideas and intellect. Atleast I try to. But, we cant judge a place based on the anti-social elements residing in the place. Because that would be an oxymoron. The rioter who claimed to love the land of Bangalore were obviously acting against Bangalore, because he was causing damage to Bangalore, not any other place! Now, I am not saying that you passed a judgment on the city! I just wanted to make these points and so I did.
Now being pragmatic, I think those rioters should have been shot in the ass!
How dare you mock our beloved city! i'm so offended right now, i gotta vandalize some shops and damage a few cars!
if only i could find few more of those anonymous guys to support be in my noble effort to make my feelings known :p
sarcasm aside, nice article!

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, left, vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan, and their wives, Ann Romney, second form left, and Janna Ryan, greet supporters Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan went to military country Saturday and promised those serving our country that if elected, they would not cut the military budget.
"Now there's only one place -- there's only one place this president's willing to cut, and not just a little. He wants to cut a trillion dollars out of our military budget," Romney told the crowd to boos. "Look, that's bad for jobs and it's bad for our national security. The world is not a safer place right now, not with Iran trying to become nuclear, dangers throughout the world. If I'm president and Paul Ryan's vice president we will not cut our military budget."
While Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, continues to campaign against these pending defense cuts, he in fact voted last summer for the Budget Control Act of 2011, resolving the debt-ceiling debate, that included this defense sequester.
Romney and Ryan spoke here in Jacksonville, which has the third-largest naval presence in the country.
"I look around here and I see veterans, I see Air Force, I see Marines, I see Army over there, I see a lot of Navy," Ryan said before the roughly 5,000-person crowd. "Thank you for your service to our country. You make us proud."
The GOP ticket has been trying to reach out to different pockets of the electorate in the past week to try bridging the gap for Romney as he trails President Barack Obama in polls. The GOP nominee's wife, Ann Romney, held events geared toward both women and Hispanics. Mitt Romney traveled to Indianapolis on Wednesday to address veterans at The American Legion.
The military vote, which according to exit polls went for Republican candidate John McCain 54 percent to 44 percent in 2008, could help Romney defeat Obama this fall.
Romney advisers concede the state of Florida -- which even hosted the Republican National Convention this year -- is all but essential for a Republican victory on Nov. 6.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is in our hands, it is in your hands. Florida, Floridians, you have a major say so, you have a big responsibility and a big opportunity," Ryan said, speaking at The Landing on a very hot day. "If Florida goes the right way, America goes the right way."

Let's play a little game called "What If?" I'll ask the questions and give my answer to it, then if you want to play too leave your answers in the comments.
What if there are a bunch of young muscular studs working really hard in the ware yard behind your office, do they need to be harassed?
In my eyes anyone younger than me is fair game. Of course I am going to bug them; it keeps them focused and they work harder to prove this lady wrong.
What if they decided to harass you back? Do you amp up the remarks or walk away?
Now who out there that knows me would even begin to think I would walk away from that. Of course not, I amp it up and try to keep up with the guys, for some reason I feel like I have something to prove to the male species.
What if they start showing off by finding these big boards and trying to move them one person to a board, after they strip off the shirts and give you a good showing of their sweaty, young muscled bodies?
Hell ya I am going to look! I never walk away from a free show, especially one like that. Don't forget I am still making comments; I want to see just how far they will go on this fine afternoon of showing off.
What if they get the brilliant idea that they need to break these boards to fit into the truck better just to show how strong they really are?
Well more comments come out of my mouth and I continue to stand there enjoying the show the boy toys are putting on. Come on ladies don't tell me that you are not picturing all of this and drooling on your keyboards. I was there and I still drool a little bit lol.
What if, in the spirit of things they dare you to try and break one of these half rotten boards?
As soon as one of the young'un looks at me and says, "You think you're so tough you get over here and try it!" I am on my way to them. There is no way in hell I am going to let them talk to me like that and not do anything about it. I, again I am trying to keep up for some reason, step up and they pick out a pretty board for me to take a whack at.
What if they were breaking the boards by kicking them but I want to out do the biggest guy and choose to hit it instead?
I will tell you what happens, after the second punch to the board (it did not break with the first punch) your hand feels like it went through a meat grinder, tears well up in your eyes, you notice instant bruising but you maintain your cool in front of the boy toys. Slowly as your hand is swelling inside your pocket you pretend your cell phone is ringing and walk away to take the important work call.
What if you end up at the doctor the next morning because your hand won't move and your knuckles look like they belong to a boxer?
I humbly walk into the doctor with my hand wrapped in ice and my head hanging low just to be sent to the hospital for x-rays. I return to the doctor to be informed that I flattened two knuckles and broke the bone going down the back of my hand from my ring finger. I am splinted and referred to another doctor.
What if you have to go home and face your family and boyfriend? Do you lie or tell the truth?
I am here to tell you that I should have thought about that before taking a pain pill and lying down on the couch for a while. My boyfriend came in and asked me about it. Of course I was loopy and told the truth. He told me to make sure and not tell anyone I hit it twice it just sounds bad. That is after he spent forever laughing at me. He cannot understand why this 5 ft 4 woman of 135 lbs would ever try to keep up with guys that do that work for a living.
So there you have it that is how I managed to break my hand a few weeks ago. I went to the specialist last week and he found calcification in the last two knuckles from healing and one more spot in the back of my hand that is calcifying from the healing process that makes a total of what looked like 4 cracks. He also informed me that I have a lot of soft tissue damage, changed me into another splint that immobilized my thumb and said come back in a month.
I am tough so comment away lol!! I will say this much, next time I will make sure to get one of the rotten boards like the guys did.

This week was Red Ribbon Week at the boys' school. They raise awareness about drug and alcohol abuse by doing "fun and crazy" things each day.
Monday was.....CRAZY HAIR day! It might be hard to see, but the boys--with Daddy's and Mommy's help--had lots of spikes colored with blue and black hair gel and spray.
This, in case you were wondering, is their crazy face!
Today was "nerd" day. The kids...okay, Mommy and Daddy too...had a lot of fun with this one!
It seems a little crazy to me to bring drug and alcohol awareness to a grade school, but the way they go about teaching it IS working. An example from our very own household:
{Last night, Ethan had been complaining of an "ouchy" throat.}
Ethan: "Mommy, I think I need medicine. That grape kind."
Me: "Okay, buddy. Let's go get some."
Ethan: "Mommy, if I take drugs when I am not really sick, I could die."
I could see the wheels turning. He wasn't really sure if he was "sick enough" to take medicine. It opened up a door of opportunity, and I was able to explain things to him in more detail.
I don't always love having my kids in a public school because of the things that they are exposed to at such a young age, but I am truly thankful for each and every opportunity like this one. I pray for the boys each and every day, and I know that God loves them even more than I ever could--and that He wants a relationship with them, too! He wants them to grow in their faith and make responsible, sound decisions for what is right.
I'm thankful for a good school that works with me, as a parent, to teach my kids valuable life lessons!

January is over - finally! The winter months are always soooo long. This one was okay actually, as far as Januarys go. I spent the month redecorating my apartment, getting back into crafting, and trying to spend as many nights as possible out with my friends instead of hibernating through the winter as usual.
Favorite posts from January:
And some goals for Febrary:
- Save money and work more - I have some exciting travel plans for this year and I need to make sure they actually happen.
- Get organized - Everything in my life is a mess right now, so I should probably work on that.
- Have fun - Nights out have definitely made this January go by faster than usual, so I'd really like to do the same for February.

I dont think Norris Cole sucks but hes nothing spectacular, just a decent backup at this point. Joe Johnson is a B+ level player, and Rashard Lewis could be a decent signing in my opinion. Miami might go with this lineup at times
Joe Johnson is not on Lebron/Durant level, no. But will he bring the Nets to the playoffs with Deron? Almost a lock for that.
In that sense he's on a Melo/Amar'e level... probably somewhere between them.
DWill and Johnson will undeniably be a tough duo in the 4th quarter of close games. We're very fortunate to have a couple players that can defend Lopez, otherwise they'd be better then us. I could see the Nets possibly sh*ttin on the celtics next year. Can Garnett still slow down Lopez? D will vs Rondo is a good matchup, but at this point Joe Johnson is better then Pierce, Terry, anyone the Celtics have other then Rondo.
JJ couldn't get them into the 2nd round.

A Lawrence pet owner is facing felony animal cruelty charges after he allegedly tied his kitten by the neck to a wall next to his home's radiator.
The alleged abuse began in early January when the 7-month old kitten swallowed a string, MSPCA Angell spokesman Rob Halpin said.
"We get that kind of case here all the time, where an animal comes in having swallowed a piece of string," Halpin said in a phone interview. "It can be extremely dangerous or not dangerous at all, depending on if it's addressed immediately."
After an animal swallows a string, it can either be dragged from its mouth, or the animal can undergo a minor surgical procedure to remove it, Halpin said. In the Lawrence case, the pet owner chose neither option. Authorities did not immediately name the owner.
The string was left in the kitten's body for weeks, allowing it to travel down into, wrap around, and puncture its intestines. That allowed fluids and matter from the intestines to spill into the animal's body, Halpin said.
The kitten's infection caused it to vomit constantly, prompting the owner to tie a shoelace around its neck and tack the string to the wall next to a radiator in order to keep the vomit spills contained, Halpin said.
Unable to move, the kitten became dangerously dehydrated and thin due to the heat from the radiator and the persistent vomiting.
When Lawrence animal control officers arrived Jan. 24, the kitten was dying. It was taken to emergency surgery at MSPCA Angell, where it had almost half its intestines surgically removed.
"When he arrived, he had about a 30 percent chance of surviving," Halpin said. "Our veterinary surgeons put his intestines back together in a way that would give him the best chance of recovery, but a lot of his intestine couldn't be saved."
The kitten survived surgery and is currently being cared for at the MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center at Nevins Farm. It will be put up for adoption after it recovers.
"In terms of animal cruelty, I'm sad to say it's not one of the worst cases that we've seen," Halpin said. "But it says a lot about the owner as a person."

Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Winning Roast Chicken
Last week on the Weekend Cook and Tell challenge we asked all of you to share your favorite methods for roasting a chicken. Always satisfying, a whole roasted bird is the blank canvas of the poultry world, open to all manner of herbs, spices, and cooking techniques. Let's take a look at some of your favorite recipes.
ElizabethS roasted up this Greek-Style Chicken from The Silver Spoon cookbook. Rubbed with just lemon, fresh oregano salt and pepper, the chicken was subtle and delicious.
agoodcooker's method of choice is a dry rub made from equal parts salt, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder buzzed in the spice grinder and left to soak into the chicken over night. This particular roast chicken does double duty in agoodcooker's kitchen, with leftovers making their way into the next day's stock.
While mntwmyn is quick to caution that Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk isn't the most beautiful chicken, it is falling-off-the-bone delicious and the gravy is great on mashed potatoes.
mayan has been getting fancy with Jacques Pépin's Chicken Ballotine. Mayan's most recent variation is a deboned bird stuffed with kale, shallots, double cream and sausage. For a tutorial on Pépin's ballotine method check out this how-to video.
joyyy is a bit hesitant to admit that her favorite chicken recipe comes from Oprah's website but this butterflied Two Skillet Herb Roasted Chicken cooks quickly and makes for some very crisp skin.
vizslalvr makes it a point to roast a chicken every week. A recent Herb Roasted Chicken with Beet, Barley, Giblet, and Goat Cheese Salad took advantage of some of the chicken's lesser used bits as well.
Thanks to everyone who shared their bird roasting best for this week's Weekend Cook and Tell challenge. Be sure to head over to Talk and read about next week's challenge: Soup Stories.

TORONTO (AP) -- The new crop of BlackBerry smartphones has finally arrived after a lengthy delay that allowed other mobile devices and operating systems made by Apple, Google and Samsung to build commanding leads in a market that is redefining society and technology.
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. unveiled its long-awaited line-up of revamped smartphones and software at simultaneous events held in New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Dubai, Johannesburg, Jakarta and Delhi. Underscoring the stakes riding on the products, RIM announced that it is changing the company's name to BlackBerry.
The first devices in BlackBerry's new generation will be called the Q10, which will feature a physical keyboard like previous versions of the BlackBerry, and the Z10 will have only touch-screen keyboard, like Apple's trend-setting iPhone and other handsets running on Google's Android software, including Samsung's popular Galaxy.
RIM's fate is riding on the new BlackBerrys. The Canadian company's losses have been piling up in the past two years while the iPhone and Android devices have been winning millions of zealous converts.
"Today represents a new day in the history of BlackBerry," RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said in New York.
Investors evidently didn't like what they saw. RIM's stock fell 71 cents, or more than 4 percent, to $14.95 in early afternoon trading.
Repeated delays have left the once-pioneering BlackBerry an afterthought in the shadow of the iPhone and Google's Android-driven devices. There has even been talk that the fate of the company that created the BlackBerry in 1999 is no longer certain.
Heading into Wednesday's event, there was renewed optimism. Previews of the BlackBerry 10 software have gotten favorable reviews on blogs. Financial analysts are starting to see some slight room for a comeback. RIM's stock has more than doubled from its nine-year low in September, though it's still nearly 90 percent below its 2008 peak of $147.
RIM redesigned the system to embrace the multimedia, apps and touch-screen experience prevalent today. The company is promising speedier devices, a superb typing experience and the ability to keep work and personal identities separate on the same phone.
Most analysts consider BlackBerry 10's success to be crucial for the company's long-term viability. Doubts remain about the ability of BlackBerry 10 to rescue RIM.
"We'll see if they can reclaim their glory. My sense is that it will be a phone that everyone says good things about but not as many people buy," BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis said.
Jefferies analyst Peter Misek called it a "great device" and said RIM does have some momentum just months after the Canadian company was written off for dead.
"Six months ago we talked to developers and carriers, and everybody was just basically saying 'We're just waiting for this to go bust,'" Misek said. "It was bad."
The BlackBerry has been the dominant smartphone for on-the-go business people and crossed over to consumers. But when the iPhone came out in 2007, it showed that phones can do much more than email and phone calls. Suddenly, the BlackBerry looked ancient. In the U.S., according to research firm IDC, shipments of BlackBerry phones plummeted from 46 percent of the market in 2008 to 2 percent in 2012.
RIM promised a new system to catch up, using technology it got through its 2010 purchase of QNX Software Systems. RIM initially said BlackBerry 10 would come by early 2012, but then the company changed that to late 2012. A few months later, that date was pushed further, to early 2013, missing the lucrative holiday season. The holdup helped wipe out more than $70 billion in shareholder wealth and 5,000 jobs.
Although executives have been providing a glimpse at some of BlackBerry 10's new features for months, Heins will finally showcase a complete system at Wednesday's event. Devices will go on sale soon after that. The exact date and prices are expected Wednesday.
Regardless of BlackBerry 10's advances, though, the new system will face a key shortcoming: It won't have as many apps written by outside companies and individuals as the iPhone and Android. RIM has said it plans to launch BlackBerry 10 with more than 70,000 apps, including those developed for RIM's PlayBook tablet, first released in 2011. Even so, that's just a tenth of what the iPhone and Android offer. Popular service such as Instagram and Netflix won't have apps on BlackBerry 10.
Gillis said he'll be looking to see when RIM releases a keyboard version of the new phone. The first BlackBerry 10 phone will have only a touch screen. RIM has said a physical keyboard version will be released soon after. He said a delay could alienate RIM's 79 million subscribers.
"The No. 1 feature that they like is the physical keyboard," Gillis said.
