Smart choice: A good cook loves lentils for their variety of textures and colors — black, pink, red, green and more — good nutrition, ease of cooking and easy-to-swallow prices. (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune) |
That's too bad. A smart cook learns to love lentils for their variety of textures and colors — black, pink, red, green and more — good nutrition, ease of cooking and easy-to-swallow prices.
Indian cooks turn them into dals while Moroccans pride themselves on their recipes for the lentil-tomato soup called harira. In Italy, lentils often are cooked with the specialty cotechino. In France, they may appear as a first course or alongside roasted meats. And rare is the vegetarian cook who hasn't learned to love this legume.
Cookbook author James Peterson includes several lentil recipes in his latest edition of "Vegetables" (Ten Speed Press, $35), from a French-inspired salad on through Indian soups and stews.
"The best lentil interpretations I've had are Indian," he says of the beautifully seasoned dishes often finished with the clarified butter called ghee or coconut milk.
But Peterson was also quick to tell us about a vinaigrette-dressed lentil salad. "We used to serve it with a pate in Paris when I was working there. ... That was fabulous.
"And lentils cooked with bacon are heavenly."
Peterson was not always so enamored with lentils. Recallling his time in Paris: "I was so so poor, but I was at the Cordon Bleu and taking a pastry class and I would come home with these beautiful cakes and we would sit there and have lentils for dinner — my friend, he would stock up on dry goods during periods of being flush — so we'd have these lentils that we'd rush through to get to the cake. But that was an example of not cooking them well when you don't know what you're doing."
He's mastered cooking them well and no longer associates lentils with poverty, "especially since they have now become chic and show up in fancy restaurants cooked with all sorts of expensive foods."
Lentils, from the tiny Beluga (yes, they look like the pricey caviar) to the green-black French du Puy and the broad brown, are comfortable sharing plate space with duck, lamb, goose and game, from quail to venison, whether the lentils are served whole or pureed.
It's time to ditch any outdated notions of the limited potential of lentils. The tiny seed's versatility lies in its ability to play well with a variety of flavors, herbs and spices, giving cooks a blank canvas for exercising their creativity. Another plus: They don't require soaking before cooking like other legumes and cook in less than an hour.
Lentils, the seeds found inside the pods on the plant called lens culinaris, have been nourishing folks for thousands of years. A cup of cooked lentils delivers almost 18 grams of protein as well as 15 grams fiber and only 230 calories, according to the USDA Nutrient Database.
Removed from the pods, those seeds are usually found at the market in a dried form. They may be sold whole or split, with the skin on or off — offering cooks four options. Which one you choose can affect how they are cooked and how the finished dish will look. Whole, skin on lentils (Beluga, Puy) will hold their shape when cooked. Split lentils, with their skin off will produce a silkier finished product.
While we found some supermarkets offering more than a half dozen lentil types, sorting through those at markets catering to ethnic communities may present a bit of a challenge. In lentil-loving India, for example, listing all the types is a challenge, according to "The Oxford Companion to Food" author Alan Davidson. "Attempts to list lentils run up against a fundamental difficulty; the use of the word in an Indian context is much looser, spilling over from Lens culinaris into other species, as though lentil had much the same meaning as dal (split pulse)."
Adds cookbook author Anupy Singla ("Vegan Indian Cooking"), "Dal can refer to a soupy preparation made with legumes. It can also refer to dry lentil dishes in some parts of India."
Don't let nomenclature confuse you. Instead, go beyond the common brown lentil, so easily found in supermarkets and, give, say, a lovely pink or red lentil a chance.
Here are some lentil types to look for.
• Beluga lentils: Tiny, black, look like caviar.
• Brown lentils: Khaki color. Also called Indian brown lentil, German lentil, green lentil.

Adding new actions is a bit trickier, because you have to understand that optparse has a couple of classifications for actions:
These are overlapping sets: some default ``store'' actions are store
, append
, and count
, while the default ``typed''
actions are store
, append
, and callback
When you add an action, you need to categorize it by listing it in at least one of the following class attributes of Option (all are lists of strings):
, to options with no
explicit type whose action is listed in ALWAYS_TYPED_ACTIONS
In order to actually implement your new action, you must override Option's take_action() method and add a case that recognizes your action.
For example, let's add an extend
action. This is similar to the
standard append
action, but instead of taking a single value from
the command-line and appending it to an existing list, extend
take multiple values in a single comma-delimited string, and extend an
existing list with them. That is, if --names is an extend
option of type string
, the command line
--names=foo,bar --names blah --names ding,dong
would result in a list
["foo", "bar", "blah", "ding", "dong"]
Again we define a subclass of Option:
class MyOption (Option): ACTIONS = Option.ACTIONS + ("extend",) STORE_ACTIONS = Option.STORE_ACTIONS + ("extend",) TYPED_ACTIONS = Option.TYPED_ACTIONS + ("extend",) ALWAYS_TYPED_ACTIONS = Option.ALWAYS_TYPED_ACTIONS + ("extend",) def take_action(self, action, dest, opt, value, values, parser): if action == "extend": lvalue = value.split(",") values.ensure_value(dest, []).extend(lvalue) else: Option.take_action( self, action, dest, opt, value, values, parser)
Features of note:
both expects a value on the command-line and stores that
value somewhere, so it goes in both STORE_ACTIONS and
actions, we put the extend
action in
as well
is an instance of the optparse_parser.Values class,
which provides the very useful ensure_value() method.
ensure_value() is essentially getattr() with a safety valve;
it is called as
values.ensure_value(attr, value)
If the attr
attribute of values
doesn't exist or is None, then
ensure_value() first sets it to value
, and then returns 'value.
This is very handy for actions like extend
, append
, and
, all of which accumulate data in a variable and expect that
variable to be of a certain type (a list for the first two, an integer
for the latter). Using ensure_value() means that scripts using
your action don't have to worry about setting a default value for the
option destinations in question; they can just leave the default as
None and ensure_value() will take care of getting it right when
it's needed.

Could you read this, because I can't understand it.
This is the announcement about the drilling for geo-technical testing that is required before a rebuild can begin on our (and many others) land. It appears to tell me one thing, tests have begun in one suburb.
But what's the rest mean?
There's no real time frame or any indication of which suburb is next.
Anybody here good at interpreting the arcane?

in response to rationalthinker:
Has there ever been a successful economy based on Republican economic theory? Any answer longer, more complex and less direct than an emphatic "NO" is wrong.
Every Republican Administration since Hoover has brought economic disaster. Hoover & Bush 2 brought the capitalist system to it's knees, only to be saved by Democratic policies. Nixon brought us a centralized, government imposed from the top on down system of wage and price controls. Those who call[ed] Roosevelt & Obama "socialist" know less than zero.
"Right" is so wrong when he blames Obama for not succeeding in cutting the deficit because he chooses to ignore, among other things, the obstructionist policies of the Republican Party over the first four years, starting on the night of the first Obama inauguration when the Republican congressional dinner attendees applauded the announced agenda of Boehnor & McConnell; i.e. to make Obama a one term President. In short, on that night they began a concerted & copnspiratorial effort to ensure American failure. Republicans engaged in a purposeful program of economic sabotage, and in spite of that program the economy began to recover.
To add insult to injury, these same irresponsible Republican legislators refuse to consider paying for the unfunded wars their leadership lied us into, they refuse to consider cuts in the most fat laden portion of the government; i.e. defense spending, otherwise called welfare for the Carolinas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama & Texas, all of which would have third world status but for the welfare they take from "Blue" states
It is likely that if we had followed an aggressive program of stimulus our economic recovery would have accellerated. Every objective indicator shows the Obama/Democratic economic program to be working. If we reverse course and enact Republican proposals, a renewed recession/depression is virtually guaranteed.
It does not go unnoticed you conveniently ignored the issue Obama extend the Bush tax cuts for lower incomes. Also Obama endorses conservative economics policies.
It is likely had we followed an aggressive program of consevative economic policies our economic recovery would have accellerated.
" President Clinton did not leave his successor a booming economy. He left President George W. Bush a recession. The recession began in March of 2001, two months after Clinton left office. Even the most rabid leftist cannot blame George Bush for the 2001 recession. It was the Clinton recession"

Antiqued Blossom Oushak Rug
- Summary
The soft radiance of hand-spun wool in shades of green, gold and brown gives this rug a mellow, earthy warmth. Echoing the ancient tribal designs of central Asia, our hand-knotted rug blooms with palmettes surrounded by twining vines. Slightly oversized knots—a signature of the Oushak region—lend plushness to the pile.
- Hand-knotted from 100% handspun wool.
- A special heirloom wash produces the subtle color variations and texture that give Oushak rugs their distinctive antique look; therefore, each will differ slightly.
- We recommend our Heavyweight Rug Pad with this style; our latex-backed pad (sold separately) can be trimmed to fit exact rug dimensions.
- Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, all sizes are approximate.

... Placing wedges of magnetic material in the gaps between magnets will help with this.
Kingfish wrote:Admittedly it hasn't caused me to lose sleep, nonetheless I am a bit concerned about accuracy. Pesky thing that – accuracy.
Kingfish wrote:This now brings up a question of construction, and methinks the most economical would be to have wedges that fit between the bar magnets rather than a challenging water-jet-cut cage. I'm just thinking out loud; the wedges would be very cheap to fabricate, less waste of material, and better than a poke in the eye – as in doing nothing. See Figure 1.
Kingfish wrote:The second idea to explore is using a horseshoe shape for routing the flux as displayed on the right of Figure 2.
Probably the most useful value for you would be the value of Bz centered between a pair of poles. In that case, z=t/2, so the two cosh terms will cancel and the sine will be 1 at x=0, so Bz=Bm0.
A little flux bridge like you've drawn, if it had any effect, would likely serve to divert some of the useful flux around the stator. You're thinking in the right direction, though.
Kingfish wrote:Flux Ring:
I presume you mean this sort of arrangement in Figure 3, yes?
Kingfish wrote:Ha! Now I've got the "happy puppy†syndrome – with my tail all wagging. Early on I had considered adding a Radial Flux component to the design but discarded it because of the issue of trying to reduce the airgap between the winding and the magnetic face. In reference with Figure 5, is that what you meant?
Er, you were on the right track but you must've taken a hard right turn while I wasn't looking.
Kingfish wrote:Was it perhaps the laminate shoes as indicated in Figure 6 as another type of Flux Ring? Hmmm, I prefer to keep it simple.
Kingfish wrote:Air Gaps & Adjacent Magnet Spacing:
It seems to me that the Air gap between Magnets (Agw) and the surface of the Copper Windings should be closest. Are you suggesting that the distance between magnetic faces (z) should also be less than the air gap between adjacent magnets (Agm) as well so as to promote the inductance across z (Agz)?
With all these air gaps, I figure we better have some shorthand

If I see further than most, it is because I have stood on the toes of giants and they kicked me high into the air...
However, there is nothing to suggest that I see further than most.
I am (inasmuch as one 'is' an occupation) an engineer. My mathematical skills are rather pedestrian, with a rare insight every now and then. I have been lucky enough to sit in the same room with some famous mathematicians & engineers. My Erdős number is 5, which undoubtedly makes me as unique as an Irishman in a pub. And I have been spotted in The Pub from time to time.
In professional circumstances, my value add has usually been the injection of common sense and completion of grunt work when perspectives and energies are unfocused.
Current age is prime for the 16th time.
My real name is Joe Higgins. Apparently, my last name means 'of the Viking' in Irish.
I can be reached at joe dot higgins at gmail dot com.

Hi everyone, I just bought and installed a 3rd HD 7970 in my system (primarily for bitcoin mining, but also for games). I am now surprised to find out that my system is unstable. At first I assumed that my CPU overclock was affecting something with the new card, so I put the CPU back to stock settings. The system is stable now, but I don't think the CPU overclock was directly at fault. I plugged the system into my Kill-A-Watt meter, and the tower is drawing 1050W mining on the three cards (with CPU at stock settings and lightly loaded). I know the PSU has some conversion inefficiency, but this means it's at about 95% capacity, right? I bought my 1000W power supply three years ago and I supposedly thought it would be the last power supply I would ever need. But now I wonder if I need to get a larger power supply if I want to reinstate the CPU overclock. I'm just surprised that this situation came up and I want to make sure that I am on the right track before I put down the money to buy a larger supply. Does my system power draw make sense? I was considering the Seasonic X-1250 due to its stellar voltage regulation (voltage drops are very common where I live). I do not plan to add any more video cards or hard drives, just reinstate the CPU overclock. Do you think 1250W will be enough? Thanks for the advice in advance.
I used my AX1200 with 3 overclocked GTX480's and a heavy overclocked 2600k and it was reading ~1000 watts on my UPS. The 1250 might not be enough with all the overclocking. There's also a few adapters you can use to add a second PSU to a system, one being http://www.add2psu.com/
Three 7970's consume about 600-700w at full load,which leaves AT LEAST 250w for the rest of your system which i believe to be enough.
For two overclocked Westmere Xeons? Haha, really funny. My 3820 overclocked right now while crunching on all cores has me running at 350-watts loaded without any load on the GPUs and one of them fully powered down. Overclocking the bclk might cause it to become unstable. It depends on how stable the connection is between BOTH CPUs and the IOH. If QPI is clocked too high you could be causing the IOH to become unstable when it starts moving a lot of data. It's just a guess, but you definitely should consider a bigger PSU.
Ah, I misread it. You're right, should be enough, but barely. He even said himself that he's drawing about 1000w with the 7970s loaded and light load on the CPU though. I'm still leaning towards the QPI link being clocked too high reason if setting everything to stock fixed it.
But thats the wierd part about it,if he is bitcoin mining his CPU should bearly be under any load,even a custom 7970 with 2x8pin can only physically draw 275w ech which means 825w power draw from the gpus in total in an extreme circumstance.
The HX1000 is only around 82% efficient at those load levels, so ~1050W from the wall means the PSU is delivering around 860W. You're still good. I don't think you need to change your PSU.
That's true, but I do have them overclocked to 1125MHz core, so that would account for some more power. I would think that would add another 100-150W total to the system. This would leave 150-200W for the entire rest of the system - CPU, memory, motherboard, drives, and cooling. I don't think it's unreasonable that with a CPU overclock I would hit over 1000W. Wow, I didn't realize that my power supply was that inefficient. I'm looking at the Enermax Maxrevo 1500W and that gets 92% efficiency at 50% load. That's pretty significant. If I'm saving 100W mining that could sum to a significant amount of money over time.
You might consider downclocking and undervolting your cards. With a 2600k at stock clocks and three 7970's at 1050/340 (1.05V), my system draw at the wall is ~640W while mining. With four 7970's at the same clocks total power draw is 840W. Decreasing clocks will lower your hash rate a little (mine is ~630Mhash/sec per card) but your power draw will go down significantly.
Not true, I have a 3960X @4.5ghz, 3x HD7970 @1080/1425, plus a H100 + 2x 120mm Corsair SP fan, an SSD + 3x WDC Black with 2x 200mm + 140mm case fans, and they're running off an X-1250. I had a HX1050 running this exact setup a while back, and though it was coping with it, the air vented from the back of the PSU seemed a tad warmer than I was comfortable with, so I swapped out the HX1050 in favor of the X-1250 and it's been great since.
90% efficiency try more like 75% in most cases (temperature,workload,input power "cleanness") all have a effect with 3 7970's it would not surprise me if you are overtaxing a KW psu the problem here is is that you are gonna start throwing the breakers once you get beyond 1200 or so
Thanks for the advice. I have had that problem in the past and actually changed the wiring in my house because of breakers tripping. I used to have more devices on the circuit with my PC but my GTX 470 SLI system could cause the breaker to trip when my brother also had the plasma TV on at the same time. I changed the circuit so that now the 15A breaker only powers two table lamps and the computer, so unless the system is drawing ~1800W, it should not cause a problem.
That's a good idea, but there's a few things that are working in favor of overclocking for me right now. Electricity where I live is very cheap ($0.077/kWh) and since the temperatures are still cold outside I don't have to use air conditioning (or heating). So the extra hashes are still profitable even if my system is not running at peak efficiency. Once summer temperatures come and I have to use air conditioning, then I probably will put the cards back to stock speeds. At some point in the next few months though I anticipate that ASICs will make the difficulty go up so much that GPU mining won't be profitable and then I will just shut off mining and only use the GPUs for games. I still will probably have the GPU's overclocked for the games though so the PSU's extra capacity won't go to waste.
An overclocked 3770K with 3 x 7970's overclocked pull over 1000 watts at full load.I also tested it. 2 x 7970's drew about 740 watts with a 3770K overclocked at full load.
That's just your opinion, anecdotal at best, not fact. Fact is, many people are running TriFire HD7970 with AX1200 and higher. It is more than sufficient for three HD7970 and whatever other system configuration you may have, for QuadFire, then I'd say it won't be sufficient. Here's a Kitguru review of the TriFire HD7970, they have their i7 970 @4.6ghz + 3x HD7970 with a Corsair AX1200: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/asus-hd7970-tri-crossfire-review/4/ My main system has an X3960 @4.5ghz, three OC'ed HD7970's, AIO WC, HDD's and fans....not a single power related issue.
Huh? I have 208v 70 Amp split-phase coming into my apartment and the room I'm in has a 20A 115v breaker. It's actually pretty funny because when a transformer down the street popped the fuse on the power line, half of my apartment had power because the other transformer on the other half of that split-phase connection was still active and come to find out half of my apartment is wired to one phase, the other half to another, and the 208v ports provide two hot outputs. Then I can go over to the house where I grew up in, where I don't remember the amperage ratings on the fuse box, but I do recall that I had access to three-phase power off the street.
The smaller rooms in my apartment are on 15a, but not this room. I also have a 50a 208v breaker. Not quite sure what they intended that to be used for since there aren't any hookups for a washer/dryer. I have two spots for ACs that have independent 20a 208v as well.
Two questions: -Is your system unstable only with Furmark+Prime95, or in general use? Because as someone else mentioned, Bitcoin mining won't load your CPU, and games won't draw the full TDP of your cards. -Do you know from your power-meter the difference in power consumption on your CPU between overclocked and stock? Then, using the efficiency stats, we could work out whether you're over capacity. If you're not, slightly nudging up the voltages might actually fix the problem by compensating for the slightly deteriorated voltage regulation at very high output.
