SI Swimsuit Issue Beauty Secrets
A Little Mousse Goes a Long Way
"I'm not going to lie, at the beginning of the day, I'm always in the background yelling, 'They can't get wet yet, they can't get wet yet!'" admits hairstylist Peter Butler, who created Brooklyn Decker's look. So how does he prepare for the inevitable wayward wave? "I'll blow dry the hair with mousse, which adds a little extra volume. Even when it gets wet, the hair will still hold that texture and shape for a bit longer," he explains.

Google Wage firstname.lastname@example.com anything unusual? How about that it is from "Google Wage?" I assume this is either a really bad typo or a really funny prank from inside Google.
12:24 AM (4 minutes ago)
Dear Wavers,More than a year ago we announced that Google Wave would no longer be developed as a separate product. Back in November 2011, we shared the specific dates for ending this maintenance period and shutting down Wave. Google Wave is now in read-only mode. This is reminder that the Wave service will be turned off on April 30, 2012. You will be able to continue exporting individual waves using the existing PDF export feature until the Google Wave service is turned off. We encourage you to export any important data before April 30, 2012.
If you would like to continue using Wave, there are a number of open source projects, including Apache Wave. There is also an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature that lets you import all your Waves from Google. This feature will also work until the Wave service is turned off on April 30, 2012.
For more details, please see our help center.
Yours sincerely,
The Wave Team

Synopsis "War World Part One"
The Justice League investigate a 3-mile wide asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. It is still orbiting beyond Saturn, but the League want deal with the threat as early as possible. Superman and J'onn J'onzz wear space suits to place explosives on the asteroid while Hawkgirl monitors their progress from Justice League Watchtower. She detects unstable hydrogen pockets within the asteroid and warns J'onn and Superman. They try to retreat, but the asteroid's explosion is a lot bigger than they were expecting. Hawkgirl can only watch in horror as the explosion engulfs her teammates and her radio link with them goes silent.
The unconscious Superman and J'onn J'onzz drift amid the debris from their wrecked Javelin and the asteroid. The captain of a passing star ship remarks that its "Incredible" that they've survived and orders them brought aboard. The ship is not on a mercy mission, however, as it's a slave ship that is hunting for powerful warriors. They're surprised to have found a living Kryptonian and believe that Superman will make an excellent addition to the Gladiator pool. The ship's destination is War World. It's a cosmopolitan world, but it is crippled by food shortages, blackouts, and severe unemployment. War World's charismatic ruler, Mongul, keeps his wretched people enthralled with public displays of gladiatorial combat, but of late Draaga, the popular champion, has been more than a match for any opponent Mongul's slavers can find.
The latest slave/gladiator, Krodar the Terrible, is a bulbous inhuman robot. He and Draaga are teleported to the arena – an empty, shattered city beneath a blood red sky – while a host of floating cameras relay images of their battle back to the crowds on Warworld. The crowds chant for Draaga, but the outcome is never in any doubt. Mongul asks the crowd if Krodar Krodar ">should be spared, but the crowd just boos. Mongul declares "Long live democracy!" and Draaga finishes the droid. The crowds, however, weren't booing Krodar. They were booing the falling standard of the games. Mongul then warns his starship captain that his next specimen had better be more of a crowd pleaser.
Superman awakens to find Draaga studying him. Draaga calls him pathetic and then spits in his face. Superman refuses to rise to the challenge and doesn't free himself from his chains until after Draaga has left. He finds J'onn unconscious, next to where Mongul's guards feed the bodies of ex- and reject gladiators to a monstrous alien crocodile. Superman saves his friend from becoming croc bait, but something in War World's atmosphere is weakening J'onn, sapping his strength. They manage to escape the palace security droids, but become separated when a force field surrounding the complex lets J'onn past, but not Superman. The Man of Steel is recaptured, but J'onn manages to disappeared into the surrounding city. Mongul had hoped to build Superman up with some preliminary matches, but he must now make an example of him for trying to escape. Mongul's command is "Give him to Draaga!"
Earlier at the Watchtower, Green Lantern John Stewart, had berated Hawkgirl for not watching her team-mates more closely. She retorts "Do you want to stand here pointing fingers or do you want to do something about it?" By the time they arrive at the blast site Superman and J'onn are long gone. Lantern's ring detects the ion trail from the starship that kidnapped their friends and they follow its course. They lose the trail near a refuelling outpost and turn their attention on the local scum. Lantern plays good cop, to Hawkgirl's bad-cop to convince a local smuggler to admit that he'd heard something about a Kryptonian being taken to War World. Hawkgirl then demands that he takes them there.
On War World, J'onn J'onzz joins the crowds streaming into the palace to watch Superman and Draaga's fight. Superman defiantly refuses to fight for Mongul's amusement, but once in the arena he's forced to fight just for his own life against Draaga's onslaught. Superman tries to reason with Draaga, but the gladiator tells him that neither of them has a choice. Superman takes Draaga's pounding, unable or unwilling to match his ferocity. Draaga's claim of victory is premature as Superman rallies with the call of "Enough!" Superman returns Draaga's blows, defeating the exhausted gladiator.
Mongul and the watching crowd and are stunned. The fickle crowd turns hostile at their former champion and Mongul orders Superman to finish Draaga. Naturally, the Kryptonian refuses to murder Draaga, even after Draaga asks for an honourable death. Mongul then orders his security droids to kill Superman for refusing his command. J'onn watches helpless as his friend is brought to his knees by the droids.
Mongul has the rare distinction of being one of Superman's few pre-Crisis opponents that can actually match him physically. He was introduced in DC Comics Presents #27 (Nov 1980) as the villain of a Superman/Martian Manhunter team-up (ergo the central characters in this story). It is often assumed that Mongul was a pure Jim Starlin creation, but, while Starlin was the artist on his first appearance, it was the writer Len Wein who created Mongul specifically as a physical challenge for Superman (2006, The Krypton Companion, pg136).
Mongul often comes across as a poor man's Darkseid. An idea that is reinforced by the fact that Jim Starlin also created the Marvel's Thanos (allegedly a Darkseid homage). Of his move from Marvel to DC Starlin has stated that "I consciously wanted to go over and do Thanos at DC. Never quite worked out that way." (2005, Back Issue #9, pg81).
Mongul made a number of pre-Crisis appearances, but his most famous appearance was in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's "For the Man Who Has Everything…" in Superman Annual #11. This is widely recognised as being one of the greatest Superman stories of all time. It was adapted almost scene-for-scene for the Justice League Unlimited episode of the same name.
The bulk of the "War World" story is adapted from Mongul's first modern appearance. He appears as the ruler of an artificial world called Warworld, a planet sized battle station, what holds sway over a larger section of space. Superman, who for convoluted reasons had exiled himself from Earth, is found drifting in space by Mongul's slavers. He is brought to Warworld to fight in Mongul's gladiatorial games. Superman is forced to fight a gladiator called Draaga, but his refusal to kill him eventually leads to a revolution that over throws Mongul.
Mongul is voiced by Eric Roberts. He is a Hollywood character actor who has a nice sideline in scene-stealing genre villains. His most memorable genre villain is as the Master opposite Paul McGann's Eight Doctor in the 1996 Fox version of Doctor Who. Roberts played Salvatore Maroni in The Dark Knight, the mob boss who throws acid at Harvey Dent creating the scars which turn him into Two-Face. He reprised his role as Mongul for aforementioned JLU adaptation of "For The Man Who Has Everything."
Draaga who first appears in Superman vol 2. #32 (June 1989) in a storyline that closely parallels his animated appearance. He was a gladiator fighting in the arenas of Warworld for the amusement of its ruler Mongul (see above). Superman is swept into the games and defeats Draaga, but refuses to kill him. Draaga is bound by a personal Klingon/samurai like sense of honour and vehemently believes that Superman owes him an honourable death. The story ends with Draaga defeating Mongul sparking a revolution that sees Draaga take over as Warworld's new ruler. In a subsequent storyline Draaga becomes a pawn of Brainiac when the computer tries to use Warworld as a base from which to launch an invasion of Earth. Draaga ends up sacrificing his life to save the Earth after witnessing the nobility and heroism of Supergirl.
In "War World" Draaga is played by William Smith. Smith has a list of appearances stretching back to the 1940s and has played the villain of the week in almost any action, western, or detective TV show you care to mention. He was Conan's father in Conan The Barbarian and was one of Zsa Zsa Gabor's henchmen in the original Batman TV show.
The asteroid
Oh dear, astrophysics fail on so many levels.
- Blowing up an earth crossing asteroid doesn't save the planet. You haven't altered the centre of mass of the object, just dispersed it over a larger area. You exchange a large asteroid for a shower of smaller asteroids whose individual size is still going to be sufficient enough to devastate large areas.
- Mushroom clouds in space. The characteristic mushroom cloud we've all seen in movies occurs because an explosion goes off in a fluid constrained by a gravity well, i.e., an atmosphere. The expanding gases from the explosion seek the route of least resistance away from the detonation site. In this case that routine is straight up along the gradient from high pressure (at sea level) to low pressure (at altitude). This is the same reason that weather systems move from regions of high to low pressure. The plume of gases passes through different layers in the atmosphere and until it reaches the height where gravity finally overcomes the kinetic energy of the explosion. The gases pile up at this height and spread horizontally forming a distinctive mushroom cloud. The asteroid we see in this episode would not have enough gravity to keep at atmosphere so there would be no mushroom clouds from the explosions.
- Hydrogen pockets. Methane pockets are a real danger to miners and are parallelled here by saying that the asteroid has hydrogen pockets. For both methane and hydrogen to explode you need three things – the gas itself, an ignition source, and oxygen. This asteroid has the first two, but the lack of at atmosphere means that there is no oxygen. Even if there was hydrogen contained within the asteroid it would be in the form of ice or locked up in some other compound.
- Krodar the Terrible is said to hail from parts unknown. It's a phrase that use to be used to describe some of the more enigmatic contenders in the WWE (then WWF) including the Ultimate Warrior .
- Flying triangular robots. Mongul must shop at the same branch of Alien Tyrants R Us as Brainiac.
- There had been a game plan for Green Lantern and Hawkgirl and for her ultimate betrayal of the team since the show started. That doesn't really pay off until the end of Season Two, but this episode really starts to highlight the chemistry between the two. Hawkgirl had already stood up for Green Lantern in "In Blackest Night" against the rest of the Lantern Corps, but she didn't have much character interaction with him.
- Incredibly minor point: cartoon "War world" (two words), comicbook "Warworld" (one word).
Superman being Superman – turning the other cheek, refusing to fight.
Green Lantern berating Hawkgirl and needing prompting to go after his teammates.
My Thoughts
My feelings about War World are conflicted. I have a fondness for it because it was the first Justice League episode that I ever saw, but it is generally thought of as one of the weaker episodes of the first season. I now think that should be regarded as assessment of how strong the other first season episodes are instead of a critique of how weak this one is. Watching it back, the animation and direction are actually rather good. It's real crime is highlighting the weaknesses of the Season One Superman and in not translating the intensity of Warworld.
Argh! Why does the DCAU Superman constantly do this? Why is he such a masochist? He just sucks up Draaga's blows, letting himself be pounded into mincemeat on the off-chance that Draaga will have some sort of miraculous conversion and decide to become a flower seller. Then, once even he's had enough, he KOs Draaga in a matter of seconds. So frustrating. Superman's ability to fight is as inconsistent as Hulk Hogan during a Wrestlemania.
The original Warworld was a planet sized fortress that, while not entirely dissimilar to the Deathstar, truly lived up to its name. Mongul, as its ruler, had a real stature that is lacking in his adaptation. The DCAU Mongul seems like a game show host in comparison. He has more in common with Damon Killian, the host from Running Man, than the classic Cesar at the Coliseum motif. Nevertheless, a change to Mongul's character/use was probably necessary to differentiate him from Darkseid.

Having worked together in the past, Japanese brand White Mountaineering has once again teamed up with Saucony on a few sneaker collaborations as part of its Spring/Summer 2014 collection. White Mountaineering decided to work on the Shadow running shoe and presents it in an all-black leather colorway, with white leather heel tab and white midsole. In contrast they also present the sneaker in two mesh versions, a navy/yellow version and a grey/red version, reminding of true vintage running shoes from the '70s. You can expect all three sneakers to arrive at retailers in the coming months.

Churchill and His Myths

Troublesome Young Men: The Rebels Who Brought Churchill to Power and Helped Save England
Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost the Empire and the West Lost the World
At the end of 1936, Winston Churchill's fortunes had sunk as low as he would ever know. His career had long resembled Snakes and Ladders, the nursery board game where a shake of the dice leads to either a brisk ascent or a downward slither. Already famous in 1900 when he entered Parliament at the age of twenty-five, he was home secretary at thirty-four (having nimbly deserted the Conservatives before the Liberals won their landslide in 1906), and went on climbing the ladder until the outbreak of the Great War. Then in 1915 he stepped on a nasty snake. He was saddled with the blame for the Dardanelles debacle and left government to command an infantry battalion on the Western Front. After easing his way back into office, he stealthily returned to the Conservative fold, but in 1931, while the Tories were in opposition, he resigned from the party leadership because of his bitter opposition to Gandhi's release from prison, and to any measure of Indian self-government.
A heroic account of his "wilderness years" in the 1930s, which Churchill promoted and which is current today among his huge American claque, has him as the noble lone voice crying out while his countrymen willfully ignored his warnings about the need to rearm against a resurgent Germany. It's true that most British people understandably had little enthusiasm for another war only twenty years after one in which they had lost three quarters of a million dead (equivalent to nearly six million Americans today). But Churchill's woes were largely self-inflicted, from India to what John Lukacs calls "his impetuous (and, in retrospect, unnecessary) championing of Edward VIII" in December 1936. In the most disastrous parliamentary performance of his life, incoherent and seemingly the worse for drink, Churchill pleaded on behalf of the King until he was shouted down. London bookmakers take bets on anything from sport to the weather to politics; what odds would they have given that December that, within less than four years, he would be prime minister, at the supreme crisis in his country's history?
This will always remain an extraordinary drama; but there is another story, of the degree to which Churchill divided opinion, in his lifetime and—as these books show—to this day. John Lukacs is preeminent among intellectually respectable Churchillians, and he returns yet again to the beginning of Churchill's premiership in May 1940. Lynne Olson complements this with an admiring account of how a number of dissident Conservative MPs helped get him there. But for both Nicholson Baker and Patrick Buchanan—writing from utterly different perspectives—Churchill is the villain of the piece, a warmonger or an incompetent blunderer. Paul Addison has said that in 1945 Churchill won two great victories, one military and the other in the "battle over his reputation that had been going on ever since the turn of the century." That other battle continues beyond the turn of one more century.
And it is intertwined with another argument, about the war in which he led his country. Lukacs takes as his text, and as his title, Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat, the first speech Churchill gave as prime minister on May 13, 1940—three days after the German invasion of France—with its bleak warning of sufferings to come, telling Parliament and people "that immediately ahead of them loomed the prospect not of a Good War," as Lukacs puts it, "of triumphs near or faraway, but the prospect of plight and suffering in the face of disasters." But there was no more haunting passage in that speech than the promise "to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime." With those words Churchill marked out for the future the essential narrative of a noble war fought with a unique moral purpose: the narrative of a Good War that Baker and Buchanan want to challenge.
Despite occasional equivocations, Churchill had recognized the nature of the Third Reich from the beginning; and in the autumn of 1938, still in the political doldrums, he staked all his political chips on opposing the Munich Agreement signed at the end of September. The man who rescued his career and his reputation was Hitler. Although Neville Chamberlain was welcomed home by cheering crowds, many Englishmen felt at heart like Léon Blum, the French Socialist leader, when he greeted Munich "with a mixture of shame and relief," and shame soon predominated. When Czechoslovakia disintegrated in March 1939 and Hitler arrived triumphant in Prague, he stood exposed for perfidy as well as brutality. Chamberlain's entire policy was discredited, and Churchill was vindicated. The London press called for his return to government, which came about when war was declared in September 1939; he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty eight months before the high drama of the following spring.
Anything John Lukacs writes is worth reading, even if he has now stretched his material to its limit. Evelyn Waugh said (through his alter ego Gilbert Pinfold) that he "had no wish to obliterate anything he had written, but he would dearly have liked to revise it, envying painters who are allowed to return to the same theme time and time again, clarifying and enriching it until they have done all they can with it." Lukacs has done just that, and on an ever-smaller canvas: from The Last European War: September 1939–December 1941 to The Duel: The Eighty-Day Struggle Between Churchill and Hitler to Five Days in London: May 1940 and now this absorbing long essay devoted to a single short speech, longer than the Gettysburg Address (and books have been written about that, after all) though still less than one thousand words. Miniaturism can scarcely go further.
Apart from the famous words "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" (deftly filched from Garibaldi in 1849: "Non offro nè paga, nè quartiere, nè provvigioni. Offro fame, sete, marce forzate, battaglie e morte"), that speech proposed Churchill's succinct and forthright war aims: "It is victory, victory at all costs, victory, however long and hard the road may be." And it distilled both Churchill's insight into the nature of Hitlerism and his honesty in not promising easy answers. Lukacs has argued that the Third Reich was in many ways characterized by its "modernity"; and it was, in his view, Churchill's sense of history and his high conception of Christian civilization—in a cultural sense rather than from the viewpoint of a believing Christian, which he was not—that gave him his intuition about that heart of darkness, or what, in his "finest hour" speech of June 18, he called the threat "of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of a perverted science."
What had brought Churchill to power was the military disaster following Hitler's invasion of Norway on April 8, an irony he wryly recognized, since he bore no little responsibility for that calamity. On May 7–8 the House of Commons debated the failure in Norway, more vigorously than Parliament has recently been allowed to debate the failure in Iraq; although Chamberlain won the vote at its end, his majority fell so heavily that within two days he was replaced by Churchill. The heroes of Olson's Troublesome Young Men (the phrase was Harold Macmillan's) are the forty-two Tory rebels who voted against the government, along with more than forty who abstained.
Some of these MPs had been chafing against party discipline for years, at peril to their careers under Chamberlain, who was notoriously unable to accept criticism, and his imperious chief whip, Captain David Margesson. Some were new boys like John Profumo, aged twenty-five, fresh from winning a by-election, and in uniform like a number of his young colleagues. On the morning after he had courageously joined the vote against Chamberlain he received a glorious dressing-down from Margesson that should be in any dictionary of political quotations:
And I can tell you this, you utterly contemptible little shit. On every morning that you wake up for the rest of your life you will be ashamed of what you did last night.
They don't make chief whips like that anymore; but history would endorse Profumo and not Margesson.
While readable and well researched, Olson's book would have been better with less superfluous color ("Children floated toy boats on the Serpentine in Hyde Park, while young lovers lay on deck chairs nearby"), and fewer slips. Churchill entered Parliament in 1900, not 1901, and the lawyer and politician Sir John Simon went to Fettes (Tony Blair's old school), not Eton. Olson writes in knowing tones that Harold Macmillan was commissioned in 1914 into the King's Royal Rifle Corps but that his mother managed to have him transferred "to the much more prestigious Grenadier Guards, many of whose officers were aristocrats."
For what it's worth, and whatever Mrs. Macmillan (herself American by birth) may have supposed, the KRRC or 60th Rifles was one of the most elegant and patrician regiments in the British army. Lord Randolph Churchill had originally wanted his son Winston to join the 60th, and it was the regiment in which Sir Anthony Eden served with distinction during the Great War. Nicholson Baker has his own regimental difficulties, writing that in May 1940 Churchill "ordered the small British force left at Calais—rifle brigades [sic] and tanks—to fight to the death." He means the Rifle Brigade, sister regiment of the 60th, which served as the forlorn hope at Calais.
Such minor errors serve as a reminder that all of the writers under review are American (Hungarian by birth in Lukacs's case), and are sometimes deaf to the overtones of English life, including political life. Lukacs should know better than to dismiss Stanley Baldwin as "bumbling and provincially British." Playing the simple country squire was Baldwin's shtick, but he was in truth a clever, well-read man (see the address he gave as president of the Classical Association); more to the point, he was prime minister three times, easy victor of two general elections, and altogether "the most formidable antagonist whom I ever encountered," in Lloyd George's rueful words.
To write of Churchill's "exceptional knowledge and comprehension of Europe," as Lukacs does, is far-fetched, and to say that "his prime virtue was magnanimity" is even more wrong. Churchill might visit the south of France for pleasure or Spain to play polo, but showed little interest in local culture, and knew no other language than English, if one excepts his idiosyncratic version of French (by comparison for example with Eden, who spoke excellent German as well as French). When Lukacs quotes the diplomat Alex Cadogan writing "I'm afraid that Winston will build up a 'Garden City' at No. 10, with the most awful people," the footnote explains "A cheap modern suburb." But Cadogan was alluding to the nickname for the collection of temporary buildings in the garden at Downing Street put up to house Lloyd George's temporary offices in the previous war and thus, by extension, to any kitchen cabinet.

A couple weeks ago news leaked that Starwood would begin counting award stays towards elite status. For the casual traveler who struggles to maintain elite status, this was a huge enhancement to the program. To the road warriors who have no issue qualifying and don't want more competition for suite upgrades, it was negative news.
Indeed, Starwood has officially announced that all award stays (including my favorite Cash &Points) will count towards elite qualification.
And this past weekend I hung out with a lot of frequent travelers and on more than one occasion I heard that Hyatt will soon announce a similar benefit. This is by no means an official inside scoop, but I take these people's word on pretty good authority. I personally would look forward to this because I have so many points and I always feel guilty using them because I really value top tier hotel elite status and I don't stay enough times to maintain it in all three of my top-tier programs: Starwood, Hyatt and Intercontinental.
Hyatt elite status from awards would be nice, but I'd rather see Hyatt roll out a really competitive cash & points style program with more availability than its competitors. Starwood, Marriott and Hilton all have cash & points programs, but they are generally very strictly capacity controlled. I'd love to see Hyatt be a leader and offer cash & points at all hotels who have standard rooms available for awards. A boy can dream!

Not really a hoax or a conspiracy, but a video that more people need to see. Adam Pringle was standing on the sidewalk, recording a bicycle cop write a citation for someone smoking on the boardwalk, when the officer first asks him to stop recording. When Pringle claims he CAN record in a public place, the officer then goes to "cell phones can be converted into weapons" and proceeds to arrest him. Read more about the incident here.
Two questions: if the police are really trained that cell phones can be converted into weapons, why even bother asking the guy to stop recording? If it's a weapon don't you just take it away? If someone is holding a gun or a knife you don't just ask them to put it away.
And second: how soon before we have to register our cell phones?

Is Ambient Light Sensor working in Win 7 for you?
I'm about at my wit's end trying to get the ALS to work in Win7 on my Precision M4400. I have emailed Dell and their response was useless, as usual. They said that because I didn't buy the machine with Win 7, they couldn't help me. (Even though their website states the machine is fully compatible, and even though they're selling M4400s with Win 7 installed.)
The sensor was working in Vista 64, and stopped working immediately after I installed Win7, which is why I assume this isn't a hardware issue.
Thanks for any help or reports!

Lap Band Minimally Invasive Bariatric Surgery
St. John Minimally Invasive Bariatric Surgery Center
24911 Little Mack, Suite B
St Clair Shores, MI 48080
Learn more at our website
Lap band surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which a silicon band is placed around a part of the stomach to make it smaller.
Dr. Abdelkader Hawasli, Director of Laparoscopic Surgery and the Minimally Invasive Surgery Center at St. John Hospital and Medical Center, has performed the Lap Band procedure on 25 patients and predicts in five years it will become the standard treatment for morbid obesity, instead of gastric bypass surgery.
Lap band is especially promising because it has the potential to positively affect the health of a patient for years to come. By losing the weight, the morbidly obese patient is less likely to develop diabetes, a cardiac condition, or need knee replacement surgery.

bok choy and apple greek yogurt slaw
I told you guys yesterday about our brand new year-round CSA. For past CSAs we've been part of, we've been admittedly bad about using up the veggies that we weren't too "sure" of. That's part of the fun of a CSA—trying out new things—but sometimes it was a struggle for us to break out of our box. This time around, we've resolved to try to use every single piece of our CSA each week, and this week's box had that first challenge—three beautiful heads of Bok Choy.
Now, bok choy might not seem like that big of a challenge to a lot of folks, but to me, it's a toughy. If you Google "bok choy recipes" you'll find thousands and thousands—and almost all of them are for Chinese dishes (after all, it is called "Chinese Cabbage"), which is great for someone who likes Chinese food. I am not that someone.
So I did a little research about the flavor and texture of bok choy and started thinking about ways I could use this typically Asian veggie in a not-so-Asian way. If you've never eaten boy choy on its own, it tastes sorta like cabbage. You can use pretty much everything on the head—stem and leaves. The stem is the texture of celery, while the leaves are really soft and tender. So I figured…why not make a slaw out of it?
Slaw may sound like a really weird thing to eat in January, but if you're trying to eat in-season, this slaw is actually a great option for winter eating. Apples, carrots and onions all stash beautifully in a root cellar—we're still eating on our apples and onions from this past summer—and celery and bok choy grow well in greenhouses all winter in these parts (our bok choy and celery both were in our CSA box this week, from farms in Kentucky). Who needs a summer barbecue to eat slaw? I don't!
I healthified this recipe by using a combo of plain Greek yogurt and sour cream as the base for the dressing. Greek yogurt on its own tends to be a bit flat in vinegar dressings, but when combined with the flavor of a small amount of good quality sour cream, it really shines.
We served our slaw with a side of baked beans and roasted chicken legs (also from our CSA box this week). I'd say it was a successful first CSA challenge! Bring on more not-so-normal veggies.
Bok Choy and Apple Greek Yogurt Slaw
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
- 3 small heads of bok choy (about 2/3 lb.), julienned or shredded
- 1/2 small onion, julienned or shredded

What's your favorite way to prepare bok choy? Do you have any veggies that are a little bit out of the box for you?

This looks delicious! I'd never had bok choy before and then my boyfriend's sister made a salad with it. I loved it! I need to try this recipe.
I've only had bok choy twice, and both times it was cooked until it was limp and sort of slimy. I usually like vegetables better in their raw forms, so I look forward to trying this slaw.
We use bok choy (and napa cabbage) to make kimchi! If you haven't tried fermenting veggies yet you should! Nothing better than your own homemade sauerkraut or kimchi!
Perfect timing. I just got some bok choy in my CSA this week and was wondering how I should make it. I love Chinese food, but I've had it too often that way. This looks perfect!

Pining for technology, India is a prime market for U.S. companies specializing in telecommunications equipment. Less than 10 million telephone lines serve a population of 900 million people, and by 2000, that population is projected to reach 1 billion. Waiting lists for phone connections are up to 10 years long. Not surprisingly, U.S. exports of telecommunications equipment to India are expected to grow phenomenally over the next several years.
India is also breaking down barriers to global trade through privatization and by reducing customs tariffs and import restrictions, making its currency easier to convert and easing restrictions on foreign ownership.
The industries the Department of Commerce feels show the most promise for U.S. exporters are aviation, telecommunications, railway modernization, oil and gas field equipment, electronic components, and computers and peripherals.

Seeing Straight: Choosing Your Next Pair Of Goggles

I want: A clear view
The swim mask design is the best option for navigating thick fog, choppy waves, rough currents or any other rough water condition. Masks take up a lot of room on the face, but their wide field of view can help create a sense of comfort in open water. If the mask seems too extreme, many companies, such as BlueSeventy and Tyr, make open-water-specific goggles with enhanced peripheral vision.

An Article by Ramakrishna Math and Mission monk – Swami Swahananda
THROUGHOUT THE AGES mankind has yearned for peace—world peace, national peace, community peace, and peace of the individual soul. This coveted yet elusive goal has been relentlessly pursued on the international level through peace talks, peace treaties, peace summits, and so forth. In a letter written by Leo Tolstoy, which was enthusiastically endorsed by Mahatma Gandhi, he expressed doubt that peace could be achieved by these methods. He wrote: "One thing only is needful: the knowledge of the simple and clear truth which finds place in every soul that is not stupefied by religious and scientific superstitions—the truth that for our life one law is valid—the law of love, which brings the highest happiness to every individual as well as to all mankind."
International peace can come only if there is national peace, and national peace can come only if there is individual peace. If the world is in turmoil today, it is because its inhabitants are in turmoil. World peace begins with each one of us. As the well-known Russian painter and thinker Nicholas Roerich said, "Every man, every member of the human family, carries the responsibility for the peace of the whole world."
A society is the summation of individuals. The values of a society are determined by its individuals, and the force of inequality in society, strengthened by selfish considerations, has to be kept under control.
The force that can hold society together is moral force, dharma, the consideration for the other person. This deep value in mankind, which enhanced becomes altruism, is possible only in an atmosphere of "toned-down materialism" and assertion of the Spirit. If the individuals value sense gratification and money, the society will be materialistic; if the individuals value intellectual pursuits, the society will be advanced in science and technology; if the individuals value the arts, the society will be cultured. Only if the individuals place the highest value on spiritual awakening, will the society be a peaceful one.
The jewel of everlasting peace is within each one of us, only waiting to be discovered. It is futile to try to find peace outside if we have not found it inside. As Swami Vivekananda said, "It is only with the knowledge of the Spirit that the faculty of want is annihilated forever. . . . Spiritual knowledge is the only thing that can destroy our miseries forever; any other knowledge satisfies wants only for a time."
Lasting peace cannot be found in the external world. In fact, it is our identity with the external world that causes inner conflict and anxiety. Peace comes through detachment and renunciation. It [referring to peace] is not an emotion but the suspension of emotions. We can feel this temporary absence of emotion, and the peace associated with it, during an aesthetic experience. Aristotle said that the fine arts act as a catharsis. What is left after the outpouring of an emotion? An inner feeling of peace and harmony, at least until another emotion arises.
The path to eternal peace is not an easy one. It requires self-sacrifice and self-control. To quote Thomas a Kempis, "All men desire peace, but very few desire those things that make for peace." In order to achieve inner peace, we must restructure the way we now think and feel. Peace, to be a part of our character, must be continually practiced. For, as Swami Vivekananda said, "Character is repeated habits." "Blessed are the peacemakers," said the Bible. But the peace must be a victory that defeats none. To quote Abraham Lincoln, "With malice towards none, with charity for all."
The fundamental nature of man, says Vedanta, has two important characteristics: freedom and equality. These two aspects have found expression in man's urge for freedom and equality in the social realm as well. Each of the two main ideals of social and political systems of the world, democracy and socialism, emphasizes one of these fundamental urges of mankind.
There are two classes of people working for peace. One strives to uplifthumanity by eliminating tension, rivalry, and confrontation which culminate in skirmishes and war. They advocate peace as a necessity, especially in these times of nuclear development. The other class just lives peace by putting into practice the principles of peace. They are the deeply spiritual souls who have become identified with peace in their attitude and conduct. They exude peace. We honour the people who labour for peace because of its urgent need in this world of strife and tension, but we love the souls who live peace. That is why saints are so much loved and venerated.
Modern science now accepts the theory that the essence of all matter is energy, a theory which unifies the physical world. Long before the birth of Einstein, this unity was declared by the sages of the Upanishads who realized this through inspiration, or intuition. Their philosophy, Vedanta, teaches that the essence of all existence is the eternal, changeless Brahman—Existence, Knowledge, Bliss absolute. In the Chandogya Upanishad we read, "All this is verily Brahman." That is, not merely mankind, but all creation is the manifestation of the same Reality.
Everlasting peace can be found only by becoming one with the infinite, blissful Brahman. In order to experience this unity we must transcend all differences and limitations. "Here, on earth," said Swami Vivekananda, "we strive to enclose little spaces and exclude outsiders. . . . our aim should be to wipe out these little enclosures, to widen the boundaries until they are lost sight of."
Beauty, philosophy, and science, when taken to their highest point, break the boundaries that separate us and lead the way to unity. The greatest value of artistic, intellectual, and spiritual culture is that it inspires us to expand beyond ourselves. Leo Tolstoy said: "Human life … is always striving for divine perfection that it is able to attain only in infinity. . . . Only the aspiration towards this perfection is enough to take the directions of man's life away from the animal condition … towards the divine condition."
Our awareness should expand from consideration of the self to those of the family, to community, to country, to mankind, and ultimately to all of existence. Such expansion leads to greater appreciation of the diversity in the world. We cannot appreciate this diversity if we are self-centered and assume that our way is the best and only way. When we realize our unity with all existence, we realize that diversity is merely a change in appearance. Swami Vivekananda said, "Nature is unity in variety—an infinite variation in the phenomenal—as in and through all these variations of the phenomenal runs the Infinite, the Unchangeable, the Absolute Unity."
All the differences that cause discord have their origin in our perceptions of name and form, perceptions we have superimposed upon the essential unity of the universe. We have separated ourselves so much from the unity which pervades this world that we have become enemies of nature. This situation has reached crisis proportions. While civilization evolved from man's attempt to control nature, he became isolated from it. He has forgotten that he is one with nature. Ecological considerations get the fullest support from this idea of the unity of existence. Rabindranath Tagore wrote, "When we become merely man, but not man-in-the-universe, we create bewildering problems. . . . But this cannot go on forever. Man must realize the wholeness of his existence, his place in the infinite." Thus we see that in unity alone is lasting peace.
Swami Vivekananda said, "This idea of oneness is the great lesson India has to give and mark you, when this is understood, it changes the whole aspect of things, because you look at the world through other eyes than you have been doing before. And this world is no more a battlefield where each soul is born to struggle with every other soul and the strongest gets the victory and the weakest goes to death. It becomes a playground where the Lord is playing like a child, and we are His playmates, His fellow-workers."
In this exalted state, eternal peace is ours.
Our efforts to attain peace should be approached on different fronts. Social and political measures will directly facilitate efforts for peace. Cultural and religious movements and institutions will create the climate for peace. In all types of groups—regional, national, and international— stress will have to be given to harmony and not to difference.
An awareness of different cultures and religions will have to be made with an effort to find the unity behind all. Spiritual and cultural communities will thus lessen tension and bring about understanding and peace. Higher virtues conducive to individual and collective peace will have to be practiced. Altruism and selfless service will have to be encouraged.
May strength and conviction grow in us as we proceed with our own personal struggle for peace, and may they also unite our efforts towards world peace.
Shantih Shantih Shantih
