942 Cooling Fan Speed?
Posted 03 June 2006 - 10:50 AM
However, for the past couple of days the cooling fan continuously runs at high speed, even in standby. The 942 is not enclosed in a cabinet.
Doing a search for info on the 942's cooling fan on this forum, I found several threads that mentioned overheating conditions. In a thread started by Gutter back on May 25, 2005, he put ¼" spacers under the feet of the 942 to aid cooling. (He had an overtemp warning of 147 degrees.)
I took Gutter's idea and put 1" thick rubber spacers under the feet on my unit. The temperature drop of the 942's housing was VERY significant! The heat given off from the vents on the left side was greatly reduced and the exhaust fan on the bottom almost feels like it's now blowing cold air.
However, the cooling fan is still continuously running at high speed (in standby) and is quite audible from our normal seating location in our HT. Will check the internal temperature when I fire the unit up tonight.
Otherwise, my 942 works GREAT!
Thanks to all the contributors on this excellent forum!

It is good to mention the cooling benefits of some kind of spacers to those who were not reading this forum a long time ago.
As for your fan running full steam all the time, have you tried a power cord reboot? Does the fan run full hog when you are viewing tv or just in standby?

Sounds like you were already clued-in to this cooling tip. Cool! (Pun intended) And yes, forums like dbstalk.com contain so much info from so many people that it's good to go back in time every so often using the search function.
To answer your question, the cooling fan has been running at high speed continuously for the past two days, both when "on" and in "standby". It hasn't changed speed / audible output for two days. Previously, you could easily hear it cycle slow / fast.
I did take your suggestion and performed a power cord reboot. After plugging the 942 back in, the fan ran at high speed for 20-30 seconds and then was quiet. A green light on the front panel came on for a few minutes and I could also hear the HD spin up. After a few minutes, the green light went out and all I could hear was the HD.
Checking underneath the 942, I could feel no cooling fan discharge. I propped the unit up and looked -- the cooling fan blades are not turning! I've never seen or heard this before on my 942.
The left side is a little warm, but significantly cooler than it was before "putting it up on blocks".
Our HT is 67 degrees right now (it's below ground level), so I'm guessing that the cooling was so effective after giving it more air that the fan doesn't need to run. I thought that the cooling fan was supposed to run all of the time, changing speeds as needed to prevent the internal temperature from exceeding a certain limit.
Sorry, I don't have a TV on right now (I'm too busy chasing moles around the yard), but will see if turning the unit on tonight causes the cooling fan to kick on. Will also check the temp under diagnostics.
Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it!

Thank you too for the tip. It appears to be a very easy fix for a number of wacky electronic maladies with the 942.
Posted 03 June 2006 - 11:29 PM
It gets plenty of ventilation as it sits on a wire mesh rack with a few inches below to the DVD player which is rarely on. The unit doesn't feel the least bit warm on any side.
I left it unplugged for about 12 hours overnight and it was running back in it's original state for a few hours. But it has since returned to the high speed and volume.
Is there a chance that the latest software update could have caused this? The timing is suspect.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

I'm not surprised that it's not happening to everyone, but I'm ever so slightly comforted that I'm not the only one.
Is it coincidence that I got the call the day before the fan change to upgrade to the 622?
Posted 05 June 2006 - 08:56 AM
Like dogday, I too wonder if it is 287-related...
What's now weird is that the cooling fan either runs at high speed or is totally off, both in standby and when on.
When the fan is roaring away, the entire box is cool to the touch. When the fan is off, the left side is warm.
Audio / video = no problems.

Posted 09 June 2006 - 10:35 AM
Sounds to me due to the number od complaints from other users that this must of been caused by a software update. So until they fix it, I will have to reboot it when I want to use it.
Posted 11 June 2006 - 10:19 AM
I have 1/2 inch bumpers under each for all the time I had them - about 18 months. The high fan speed problem just started to ocurr about a month ago.
After reading this helpful thread I did a power cord restart and it seem to fix problem but I do not know for how long yet. (PS did a power button reset first but it did not fix it need the power cord reset)
Posted 11 June 2006 - 11:14 AM
The power cord "fix" of last night was unfixed this morning. Doing a power cord reset this morning seems to again "fix" the problem. As noted by others it would seem to be in some way related to the 3 AM EPG download.
Still find it odd that it only seems to affect only on of the 2 - 942s (always the same one.

The problem (issue) is back on the 942 that had the problem. The other 942 never had/has this problem.
Posted 12 June 2006 - 02:37 PM
Some of us are more sensitive to whirring / whooshing noises than others. Some HT enthusiasts even purchase front projectors, amps, etc. that are the quietest available so as to not detract from the quieter passages in movies and music. When my now-noisier 942 is churning away, it makes FAR more noise than my front projector or my fan-cooled amp. This is really distracting!
Enclosing this 942 wind machine is certainly possible, but I'm hoping for an L2.88 fix.
Posted 13 June 2006 - 06:37 AM
Not sure it is necessarily a bug. Could be an attempt to help with overheating issues some have had. It does not bother me, but I could see where those with a 942 in their bedroom could get annoyed.
Posted 23 June 2006 - 06:24 PM
I've been out of town for the past several weeks and came home to find my fan still running full-tilt all the time (except for the occasional stoppage in middle of the night when the box is off - during software downloads perhaps?).
I hate having to call tech support, but getting a bit tired of the noise.

Obama Fights 'Otherization'
May 6, 2010 by TMO
of Muslims, through Envoy Rashad Hussain
By Josh Gerstein, Politico
President Barack Obama's aggressive outreach to the Muslim American community is reducing its sense of isolation, President Barack Obama's envoy to the Muslim world told a conference in Washington Wednesday evening.
"We've really started to knock down that sense of otherization," said Rashad Hussain, a White House lawyer who also serves as liaison to the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Hussain defined the rather esoteric term "otherization" as a sense that many Muslims had during the Bush years that their value or danger to society was viewed solely through the prism of terrorism.
"Muslims … sometimes feel like they don't have as much of a stake or a role in the future of the country," Hussain told the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy conference. "That's something that all of the engagement that the United States has done on these issues both internationally and domestically has helped to counter."
Hussain was the keynote speaker at the session, which marked one year since Obama's historic speech in Cairo last April, where he attempted to reset America's relationship with Muslims around the globe.
In many ways, the most remarkable thing about Hussain's speech was the context in which it took place: a conference that featured explicitly "Islamist" political leaders from Algeria, Bahrain and Morocco, as well as a provocative Oxford scholar whom the Bush administration effectively banned from the U.S., Tariq Ramadan. Many Republicans, such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, continue to use the term "Islamist" to describe enemies of the U.S. The GOP politicians also fault Obama for failing to recognize the threat such an ideology poses to the U.S.
Giuliani's view is pretty much 180 degrees from the prevailing sentiment at Wednesday's conference. "There doesn't really seem to be much of a debate about whether engagement with Islamists should happen," Professor Peter Mandeville of George Mason University declared. "There really is no other alternative. The question now is about the nature of that engagement … rather than the question of whether this is something the United States should do."
In his 20-minute speech and a subsequent Q & A session, Hussain generally stuck to Obama's rhetorical formulation of using the term "violent extremism" for what the Bush folks — and just about everyone else — used to call "terrorism." However, Hussain did use the T-word a couple of times. He touted the U.S. commitment to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to a diplomatic resolution of tensions with Iran, to avoiding religious- and nationality-based profiling in airport security screening and to freedom for Muslims around the world to wear Islamic garb.
In response to a question about the U.S. willingness to deal with Taliban members who are prepared to renounce violence, Hussain said, "The U.S. will engage those groups that are lawfully elected and are lawfully part of the political process and don't engage in violence, and that is a commitment that is demonstrated over a set period of time."
Pressed by a questioner urging U.S. action against Israel over its refusal to end settlement-building activity, Hussain didn't offer much to satisfy the pro-Palestinian audience. "The best way to address that issue is to get negotiations between the parties back on track again. … It's not something that you will see this administration walk away from," he said.
Hussain did seem a tad exasperated by complaints that, despite the vaunted Muslim outreach campaign, Obama has failed to visit a mosque in the U.S. as president. "If there is this silver bullet people are looking for, that the president visit a religious center in the United States, I'm sure there will be an appropriate time for that as well," Hussain said.
Shortly after his appointment as the OIC envoy earlier this year, Hussain grabbed some headlines for a flap over comments he made in 2004 describing the Bush administration's actions against some terror suspects as "politically motivated persecutions." He initially said he had no recollection of making the remarks, but after POLITICO obtained a recording of the presentation he conceded he'd made the comments and called them "ill-conceived or not well-formulated."

Upcoming Course Dates & Locations: View Schedule
Type of Course: Classroom
Insecure software is one of the biggest threats organizations face today. As hackers turn their attention to the software and applications that make up an organization's IT infrastructure, the best protection is building secure software and writing secure code.
Understand the key security features of the .NET platform, the common web security mistakes developers make, and how to build secure and reliable web applications using ASP.NET. Students are lead through hands-on code examples that highlight issues and prescribe solutions.
All students are challenged with real-world examples that are reinforced by practical and realistic code-level lab exercises. This course uses Hacme Bank, a web security training application written by Foundstone. Students are required to fix known issues during the first three days in labs and then renovate the entire bank's code during the final workshop day. This class focuses on the fundamentals of the ASP.NET framework, covering all versions of the .NET framework up to ASP.NET 3.5.
Implementing traditional security countermeasures is becoming less effective at protecting organizations' critical assets. Flaws in poorly developed software are open invitations to malicious intruders who are adept at identifying programming flaws. Developers must learn how to avoid introducing vulnerabilities and implement security measures effectively into their code.
Foundstone software security instructors are software developers who have performed hundreds of software audits and code reviews, and have run software security programs at major financial services companies. They have managed security programs at the Big Four accounting firms, the United States Air Force, and on Wall Street, and are frequent authors and public speakers.
This course is for professional software developers or software security auditors who have been working with the .NET framework and developing ASP.NET C# code for at least one year. A comprehensive knowledge of the .NET framework, the C# language, and web technology is required.
This course qualifies for up to 32 hours of continuing professional education credits for Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)/Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP).

With the explosion of online channels like Twitter and text messaging, written communication has become more immediate and, in many cases, abbreviated. Despite this trend, there is still a vital need for people in all fields to know how to write well.
Grinnell takes an encompassing approach to the teaching of writing. The College stands apart from many similar institutions in requiring every tenure-track professor – including mathematicians, sculptors and chemists – to teach writing as part of a first-year tutorial.
A pervasive writing orientation is also part of virtually every Grinnell course. For example, economics students write and submit for publication op-ed articles on timely topics. And calculus students express how theorems work via short essays.
This focus on writing produces graduates who are capable of clearly expressing themselves through the written word. In fact, in a survey of graduating seniors over the past five years, the ability to write effectively was cited as one of the most important skills learned at Grinnell, with 67.6% of those reporting that Grinnell 'greatly' contributed to this expertise (second only to the ability to develop critical thinking skills).
Paula Smith, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the College, can speak about the importance of writing skills, at Grinnell and beyond. She recently published a feature in Inside Higher Ed.

The Cleveland Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the closure at its regular meeting on Tuesday.
"I thought it was a lot," said Alderman Paul Janoush.
"I think there was some confusion but it is definitely an unplatted alley," reported city attorney Jamie Jacks, who sought a Mississippi Attorney General's opinion on the issue.
"You have two choices — closing the alley or not closing the alley," said Jacks. "It's been temporary closed for construction but I think they've moved in."
"They've been temporarily eating out of there," commented Janoush, as those in the boardroom chuckled.
"Are we losing title to the property," asked Alderman Kirkham Povall.
"Well we do," replied Jacks, who added the property then goes to the adjacent landowner.
"Typically, we would look to land owner to see if there are damages which of course Mr. (Raymond) Huerta doesn't have any damages only benefits," said Jacks.
Jacks said once the alley was closed, the city would not be able to take it back. "The AG's office was pretty clear we couldn't have a contingency in there."
However, city engineer Greg Korb said a storm drain runs underground through the alley and the city would need to maintain a utility and right-of-way easement.
Cleveland Fire Inspector Gene Bishop was asked about fire protection and using the alley for fire trucks.
"He has gates on both ends. Raymond is not supposed to be locking those gates and as long as he doesn't put anything there to block the entrances, we should be able to get in there if there is a fire," said Bishop.
Before voting comments were made on all the activities which have been planned for the alley, including the Cleveland Farmer's Market and Art In the Alley.

Whew, that felt like an actual baseball game! It doesn't feel like we've had one of those in a while, in both a positive and negative way. Going back to the last game of the Mets series, the finals have been: 1-9, 16-4, 11-6, 8-3 and 2-8. Lots and lots of crooked numbers. That's why yesterday's game was kind of a welcome surprise, because although Buster Posey pretty much blew it open and never looked back in the first with a three-run homer, it was still a final of 4-2. And can I just say again, How hot is Buster Posey? It's a little bit ridiculous at this point. Ridiculous in the completely elated sense of the word. Ridiculously wonderful.
Barry Zito also had a huge game, in a completely different way. He's been struggling lately and I think a lot of people (myself included, mostly) had a bad feeling coming into that start. He proved us all wrong by throwing out a quality start, 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs. He put himself back into the win column and in the middle of August, that's pretty huge for Zito, who's never finished with a winning record as a Giant, if memory serves me right.
The last person who super-über came through is my very favorite Jeremy Affeldt who has to have put himself in the closer conversation big time, if he wasn't there already. He has only three saves this year but quietly, he's looked very, very good. With Casilla struggling on the field and battling a blister issue off the field, the closer-by-committee is the word of the moment. (This seems to be Bruce Bochy's favorite thing ever. Not sure why. It's a little like picking-what-we-should-have-for-dinner by committee. And I don't know about you guys, but in my family, that doesn't really ever at all work.) Romo's been mostly fantabulous as well, but he can be fantabulous in the 8th, right? Javier Lopez can work his magic at other handpicked moments. Having a closer goes a long way, in my opinion. Just like executive dinner-making decisions go a long way. Pasta caprese every night. Also, Jeremy Affeldt every save situation.
We have two more games in St. Louis now because of this devilry called a four game series, so get used to the extremely hot weather from afar. Ryan Vogelsong is taking the mound and Buster Posey is taking the everything-else. It's going to be good.

Mickey Torbett, city president of United Community Bank who over the years has served in virtually every volunteer leadership role for United Way of Bradley County Inc., was named the 41st recipient of the Johnson award during the nonprofit organization's Annual Dinner in the Professional Development Center at Life Care Centers of America.
"Wow!" the honoree exclaimed before a crowd of almost 400 United Way supporters, volunteers and contributors.
Looking back on the field of 40 award recipients who came before him — including last year's honoree, Art Rhodes, who made this year's presentation — Torbett said he never imagined such a moment.
"I never thought I'd be standing here for this," the longtime banker, philanthropist and public servant admitted. "... The people I grew up around, and looked up to, and now being counted among them is such an honor."
Cradling the shining plaque in nervous hands, Torbett added, "I am so grateful for this. I am undeserving ... but United Way has a special place in my heart."
Although the recipient used the term "undeserving," his presenter — Rhodes — said just the opposite.
"Tonight's honoree is very deserving," Rhodes told the eager audience in Torbett's introduction. "... He has the same desire to serve our community [as his predecessors]."
After making the presentation, Rhodes said he can think of no better recipient because of Torbett's conviction for helping others through United Way, a sentiment he shares with the late Johnson who was a dedicated United Way volunteer for life.
"I can't think of any more deserving individual to receive this award more than Mickey Torbett," Rhodes said. "Mickey exemplifies the spirit of Mr. Johnson who was one of the most dedicated volunteers to work with United Way."
Torbett began his volunteerism with United Way in the 1980s when he joined the former First Citizens Bank. Torbett said he remembered the bank encouraging its employees to be involved in their community and to give back, whether through United Way or another civic organization focused on social service and people care.
Torbett remains active as a United Way volunteer decades later.
During United Way's most recent campaign, which currently has raised more than $2,002,000 with at least two company campaigns outstanding, Torbett and his wife, Teresa, served as co-chairs of the Pillars Club. Torbett also served the year as a member of United Way's Executive Committee and board of directors. Both are posts he has held for several years.
Torbett is a past United Way board chairman and campaign co-chair, the latter role which he shared with Cleveland businesswoman Nancy Casson. He also has served on various United Way committees, including the Blue Ribbon Committee. The Blue Ribbon group makes personal calls to area companies in hopes of promoting United Way awareness and enhancing internal campaigns.
"Mickey has devoted many, many years to United Way, and this is our way of saying thanks for all that he has done, and most importantly, that he continues to do," Rhodes said.
As a dedicated community servant, Torbett shares his civic side between United Way and other volunteer leadership roles in Cleveland and Bradley County. One example is found with the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce. During his chairmanship of the Chamber board, the business-friendly organization celebrated its 75th birthday.
Coincidentally, Torbett has earned the celebrated Johnson award the same year that United Way is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Tuesday's night Annual Dinner was billed as the launch of the yearlong United Way observation.
Torbett's family — his wife, Teresa, his daughter Amanda and other loved ones — were on hand to witness the award presentation. On a side note, a brief video clip was shown in the background after the presentation. The film depicted Torbett as a superhero, and it included cheers and serenades from community leaders like Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland, Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis, Lee University athletics director Larry Carpenter, Dr. Rodney Fitzgerald, Don Lorton, Beecher Hunter of Life Care Centers of America, Cindy Slater of Whirlpool Cleveland Division, Dr. Rubi Porter and members of the Chamber of Commerce staff.
Cameron Fisher, outgoing chairman of the United Way board, concurred with Torbett's assessment of the slate of past Johnson award recipients.
"I agree with you, Mickey," Fisher said after retaking the podium. "This is such a special list [of community leaders]."
The prestigious group of past award recipients includes: Art Rhodes, 2012; Stephen Crass, 2011; Nancy Casson, 2010; Forrest Preston, 2009; Terry Henry, 2008; Bob Card and Keith Barrett, 2007; Ricky Sanders, 2006; Georgia Gann, 2005; Cathy Barrett, 2004; John Kimball, 2003; Ron Braam, 2002; Ray Beckler, 2001; Lee Stewart, 2000; Tom Wheeler, 1999; Carolyn Jackson, 1998; Don Lorton, 1997; Jim Breaux, 1996; Charlotte Thorogood, 1995; Nelson Wooldridge, 1994; Ralph Buckner Jr., 1993; Dr. Lewis Willis, 1992; Jim Nowack, 1991; Ken Rayborn, 1990; Steve Bivens and Sam McReynolds, 1989; Hoyle Rymer, 1988; Jim Williams, 1987; Lou Patten, 1986; Wayne Cooke, 1985; Joe Rodgers Jr., 1984; Jerry Ward, 1983; Harry L. Dethero and Dr. T.L. Lowery, 1982; Sam Colbert, 1981; Winston Varnell, 1980; Dr. Fenton Scruggs, 1979; John Bryan Jr. and Mike Callaway, 1978; and Buck Thorogood, 1977.

Ald. Anthony Beale joins race for 2nd Congressional District
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 29, 2012 1:30PM

Updated: November 29, 2012 1:45PM
Far South Side Ald. Anthony Beale (9th) on Thursday jumped into the crowded race for Congress to replace his former political mentor, Jesse Jackson Jr., and said he'll stay in the race, whether or not he is slated by Democratic ward bosses.
Beale was elected to the City Council in 1999 with Jackson's help, only to break with the now-disgraced former congressman over Jackson's efforts to control him.
The alderman now hopes to stand out from the crowd on the strength of his winning crusade to bring a Wal-Mart to Pullman Park, ending a six-year-long battle over the world's largest retailer's $1 billion Chicago expansion.
In 2010, Beale's persistence helped him leapfrog over fellow Ald. Howard Brookins (21st) to win Chicago's second Wal-Mart for his impoverished South Side ward.
It happened after Wal-Mart and organized labor cut an unprecedented deal that calls for the world's largest retailer to pay its starting Chicago employees at least $8.75-an-hour — 50 cents above Illinois' minimum wage.
"I'm the only candidate in this race [who] has created thousands of jobs. ... One project alone has created 3,000 to 4,000 jobs. That's the kind of leadership we need," he said.
"To bring labor and Wal-Mart together is just one example of bringing two large entities together for the greater good of the community. My leadership in being able to obtain that will transfer. Hopefully, we can bring people together to understand that there is a need in the Southland for a third airport and bring those people together to ... create those thousands of jobs."
Asked how he plans to raise the $500,000 it's likely to take to win the abbreviated campaign, Beale said, "The old-fashioned way. We're gonna make phone calls and get people to buy into my vision."
Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), powerful chairman of the City Council's Budget Committee, said she pledged her support to Beale two years ago and plans to keep her word to him.
"He understands the hardships of the 2nd Congressional District because he has lived in it and worked in it. Those hardships that we have that we have not been able to see addressed by the former congressman, he has more of the ground part of what needs to be done," Austin said.
"In the years that I've watched him work on an effort such as Wal-Mart for his community, I believe that he will bring that same zeal to the 2nd Congressional District."
The Wal-Mart crusade was a crowning achievement for Beale, but he has also had his share of controversy.
In 2009, Beale became the second Chicago aldermen to concede that his daughter was admitted to Whitney Young Magnet school, one of Chicago's elite college prep high schools, after he called Whitney Young Principal Joyce Kenner.
Both Beale and Ald. Ricardo Munoz (22nd) said they never pressured Kenner to accept their children as so-called principal picks and both said they made similar calls for constituents.
Earlier this year, Beale became embroiled in the controversy over Illinois' scandal-scarred legislative scholarship program.
The Chicago Sun-Times and the Better Government Association reported on a $37,000 tuition waiver state Rep. Robert Rita (D-Blue Island) awarded to Beale's daughter. Beale was a political ally of Rita's who endorsed Rita for the State House. The alderman's wife is employed by Rita as a $400-a-month staffer.
As chairman of the City Council's Police Committee, Beale infuriated rank-and-file police officers by targeting their supplemental pay and proposing more power for "rent-a-cops." He has also pushed the Police Department to reallocate resources to higher-crime districts.
Beale currently chairs the Transportation Committee.
Jackson resigned from Congress last week, citing health issues related to bipolar disorder and an ongoing federal investigation into his finances and campaign spending.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 4:20 p.m.) Four months after inspecting the farm, Food and Drug Administration officials suggested that the owner of Chamberlain Farm Produce Inc. check his operation for "a source of wide-spread contamination" in relation to a salmonella outbreak that sickened 261 and killed three in 2012.
Cantaloupe grower Tim Chamberlain said in a press release, issued through his attorney, that he has already had an independent microbiologist investigate the situation.
Chamberlain contends the bacteria responsible for the outbreak "was present on surrounding lands and ... the source of the bacterial contamination was not (his) packing facilities, equipment or operations."
The FDA's warning letter said environmental tests at Chamberlain's outdoor packing facility — as well as cantaloupe samples from his fields and at retail — tested positive for the outbreak strains, as did his growing fields.
Despite those findings, Chamberlain said in his press release that "the overwhelming evidence is that the bacterium that caused human illness ... was unrelated to any observed conditions of the (Chamberlain Farm Produce) operating procedures ..."
FDA inspectors first visited the Owensville, Ind., farm Aug. 14. The agency's Detroit district office sent a warning letter to Chamberlain on Dec. 14; it did not appear on the FDA website until Jan. 2.
The warning letter cites conditions the FDA reported on Oct. 3 and gives Chamberlain 15 days from receipt of the letter to respond.
Chamberlain's lawyer, Gary Zhao, said on Jan. 2 he was preparing a written response.
The FDA warning letter was sent 11 weeks after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared the salmonella outbreak over on Oct. 5.
Before the Dec. 14 letter, FDA officials had not publically raised the issue of a possible source of widespread contamination at Chamberlain Farms. The letter notes that samples from Chamberlain's growing fields "which were separated by more than a mile" tested positive for salmonella strains that were indistinguishable from those that sickened people in 24 states.
The FDA letter also states that some wellheads providing water for the cantaloupe operation were not capped. Also, wells that were capped were not appropriately sealed, according to the letter.

The Caribbean appears increasingly fragile as governments struggle to balance economies amid a pullback in traditional sources of foreign investment
For Peter Phillips, Jamaica's finance minister, the outlook is grim: "Our debt to GDP ratio was 128% at the end of March," he said in assessing the immediate challenges to the economy.
"This debt has now become a burden that places a stranglehold on our capacity to fund vital social services as well as the capital investments required to support sustained growth."
Phillips is not alone: his counterparts across the region are facing a similar set of challenges. Their weak, open economies have borrowed increasingly to fend off the effects of years of weak global growth. And it is becoming increasingly hard for them to take on fresh debt as interest rates soar and their creditability falls. Fiscal deficits are increasing and – with a few exceptions – governments are hard pressed to meet local and foreign debt obligations.

Judgements on Jerusalem and on its enemies. (1-8) The senselessness and hypocrisy of the Jews. (9-16) The conversion of the Gentiles, and future blessings for the Jews. (17-24)
Verses 1-8 Ariel may signify the altar of burnt-offerings. Let Jerusalem know that outward religious services will not make men free from judgements. Hypocrites never can please God, nor make their peace with him. God had often and long, by a host of angels, encamped round about Jerusalem for protection and deliverance; but now he fought against it. Proud looks and proud language shall be brought down by humbling providences. The destruction of Jerusalem's enemies is foretold. The army of Sennacherib went as a dream; and thus the multitudes, that through successive ages fight against God's altar and worship, shall fall. Speedily will sinners awake from their soothing dreams in the pains of hell.
Verses 9-16 The security of sinners in sinful ways, is cause for lamentation and wonder. The learned men, through prejudice, said that the Divine prophecies were obscure; and the poor urged their want of learning. The Bible is a sealed book to every man, learned or unlearned, till he begins to study it with a simple heart and a teachable spirit, that he may thence learn the truth and the will of God. To worship God, is to approach him. And if the heart be full of his love and fear, out of the abundance of it the mouth will speak; but there are many whose religion is lip-labour only. When they pretend to be speaking to God, they are thinking of a thousand foolish things. They worship the God of Israel according to their own devices. Numbers are only formal in worship. And their religion is only to comply with custom, and to serve their own interest. But the wanderings of mind, and defects in devotion, which are the believer's burden, are very different from the withdrawing of the heart from God, so severely blamed. And those who make religion no more than a pretence, to serve a turn, deceive themselves. And as those that quarrel with God, so those that think to conceal themselves from him, in effect charge him with folly. But all their perverse conduct shall be entirely done away.
Verses 17-24 The wonderful change here foretold, may refer to the affairs of Judah, though it looks further. When a great harvest of souls was gathered to Christ from among the Gentiles, then the wilderness was turned into a fruitful field; and the Jewish church, that had long been a fruitful field, became as a deserted forest. Those who, when in trouble, can truly rejoice in God, shall soon have cause greatly to rejoice in him. The grace of meekness contributes to the increase of our holy joy. The enemies who were powerful shall become mean and weak. To complete the repose of God's people, the scorners at home shall be cut off by judgements. All are apt to speak unadvisedly, and to mistake what they hear, but it is very unfair to make a man an offender for a word. They did all they could to bring those into trouble who told them of their faults. But He that redeemed Abraham out of his snares and troubles, will redeem those who are, by faith, his true seed, out of theirs. It will be the greatest comfort to godly parents to see their children renewed creatures, the work of God's grace. May those who now err in spirit, and murmur against the truth, come to understanding, and learn true doctrine. The Spirit of truth shall set right their mistakes, and lead them into all truth. This should encourage us to pray for those that have erred, and are deceived. All who murmured at the truths of God, as hard sayings, shall learn and be aware what God designed in all. See the change religion produces in the hearts of men, and the peace and pleasure of a humble and devout spirit.
Isaiah 29:1-24 . COMING INVASION OF JERUSALEM: ITS FAILURE: UNBELIEF OF THE JEWS.
This chapter opens the series of prophecies as to the invasion of Judea under Sennacherib, and its deliverance.
1. Ariel--Jerusalem; Ariel means "Lion of God," that is, city rendered by God invincible: the lion is emblem of a mighty hero ( 2 Samuel 23:20 ). Otherwise "Hearth of God," that is, place where the altar-fire continually burns to God ( Isaiah 31:9 , Ezekiel 43:15 Ezekiel 43:16 ).
add . . . year to year--ironically; suffer one year after another to glide on in the round of formal, heartless "sacrifices." Rather, "add yet another year" to the one just closed [MAURER]. Let a year elapse and a little more ( Isaiah 32:10 , Margin).
let . . . kill sacrifices--rather, "let the beasts (of another year) go round" [MAURER]; that is, after the completion of a year "I will distress Ariel."
2. Yet--rather, "Then."
heaviness . . . sorrow--rather, preserving the Hebrew paronomasia, "groaning" and "moaning."
as Ariel--either, "the city shall be as a lion of God," that is, it shall emerge from its dangers unvanquished; or "it shall be as the altar of burnt offering," consuming with fire the besiegers ( Isaiah 29:6 , Isaiah 30:30 , 31:9 , Leviticus 10:2 ); or best, as Isaiah 29:3 continues the threat, and the promise of deliverance does not come till Isaiah 29:4 , "it shall be like a hearth of burning," that is, a scene of devastation by fire [G. V. SMITH]. The prophecy, probably, contemplates ultimately, besides the affliction and deliverance in Sennacherib's time, the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome, the dispersion of the Jews, their restoration, the destruction of the enemies that besiege the city ( Zechariah 14:2 ), and the final glory of Israel ( Isaiah 29:17-24 ).
3. I--Jehovah, acting through the Assyrian, &c., His instruments ( Isaiah 10:5 ).
mount--an artificial mound formed to out-top high walls ( Isaiah 37:33 ); else a station, namely, of warriors, for the siege.
round about--not fully realized under Sennacherib, but in the Roman siege ( Luke 19:43 , 21:20 ).
forts--siege-towers ( Deuteronomy 20:20 ).
4. Jerusalem shall be as a captive, humbled to the dust. Her voice shall come from the earth as that of the spirit charmers or necromancers ( Isaiah 8:19 ), faint and shrill, as the voice of the dead was supposed to be. Ventriloquism was doubtless the trick caused to make the voice appear to come from the earth ( Isaiah 19:3 ). An appropriate retribution that Jerusalem, which consulted necromancers, should be made like them!
5. Moreover--rather, "Yet"; yet in this extremity help shall come, and the enemy be scattered.
strangers--foreign enemies, invaders ( Isaiah 25:2 ).
it shall be--namely, the destruction of the enemy.
at an instant--in a moment ( Isaiah 30:23 ).
6. Thou--the Assyrian army.
thunder, &c.--not literally, in the case of the Assyrians ( Isaiah 37:36 ); but figuratively for an awful judgment ( Isaiah 30:30 , 28:17 ). The ulterior fulfilment, in the case of the Jews' foes in the last days, may be more literal (see as to "earthquake," Zechariah 14:4 ).
7. munition--fortress.
8. Their disappointment in the very height of their confident expectation of taking Jerusalem shall be as great as that of the hungry man who in a dream fancies he eats, but awakes to hunger still ( Psalms 73:20 ); their dream shall be dissipated on the fatal morning ( Isaiah 37:36 ).
soul--simply his appetite: he is still thirsty.
9. Stay--rather, "Be astounded"; expressing the stupid and amazed incredulity with which the Jews received Isaiah's announcement.
wonder--The second imperative, as often ( Isaiah 8:9 ), is a threat; the first is a simple declaration of a fact, "Be astounded, since you choose to be so, at the prophecy, soon you will be amazed at the sight of the actual event" [MAURER].
cry . . . out . . . cry--rather, "Be ye blinded (since you choose to be so, though the light shines all round you), and soon ye shall be blinded" in good earnest to your sorrow [MAURER], ( Isaiah 6:9 Isaiah 6:10 ).
not with wine--but with spiritual paralysis ( Isaiah 51:17 Isaiah 51:21 ).
ye . . . they--The change from speaking to, to speaking of them, intimates that the prophet turns away from them to a greater distance, because of their stupid unbelief.
10. Jehovah gives them up judicially to their own hardness of heart (compare Zechariah 14:13 ). Quoted by Paul, with variations from the Septuagint, Romans 11:8 . See Isaiah 6:10 , Psalms 69:23 .
eyes; the prophets, &c.--rather, "hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads (Margin; see also Isaiah 3:2 ), the seers, He hath covered." The Orientals cover the head to sleep; thus "covered" is parallel to "closed your eyes" ( Judges 4:19 ). Covering the face was also preparatory to execution ( Esther 7:8 ). This cannot apply to the time when Isaiah himself prophesied, but to subsequent times.
11. of all--rather, "the whole vision." "Vision" is the same here as "revelation," or "law"; in Isaiah 28:15 , the same Hebrew word is translated, "covenant" [MAURER].
sealed--( Isaiah 8:16 ), God seals up the truth so that even the learned, because they lack believing docility, cannot discern it ( Matthew 13:10-17 , 11:25 ). Prophecy remained comparatively a sealed volume ( Daniel 12:4 Daniel 12:9 ), until Jesus, who "alone is worthy," "opened the seals" ( Revelation 5:1-5 Revelation 5:9 , 6:1 ).
12. The unlearned succeed no better than the learned, not from want of human learning, as they fancy, but from not having the teaching of God ( Isaiah 54:13 Jeremiah 31:34 John 6:45 1 Corinthians 2:7-10 1 John 2:20 ).
13. precept of men--instead of the precepts of God, given by His prophets; also worship external, and by rule, not heartfelt as God requires ( John 4:24 ). Compare Christ's quotation of this verse from the Septuagint.
14. ( Habakkuk 1:5 , Acts 13:41 ). The "marvellous work" is one of unparalleled vengeance on the hypocrites: compare "strange work," Isaiah 28:21 . The judgment, too, will visit the wise in that respect in which they most pride themselves; their wisdom shall be hid, that is, shall no longer appear, so as to help the nation in its distress (compare 1 Corinthians 1:19 ).
15. seek deep to hide--rather, "That seek to hide deeply," &c. (compare Isaiah 30:1 Isaiah 30:2 ). The reference is to the secret plan which many of the Jewish nobles had of seeking Egyptian aid against Assyria, contrary to the advice of Isaiah. At the same time the hypocrite in general is described, who, under a plausible exterior, tries to hide his real character, not only from men, but even from God.
16. Rather, "Ah! your perverseness! just as if the potter should be esteemed as the clay!" [MAURER]. Or, "Ye invert (turn upside down) the order of things, putting yourselves instead of God," and vice versa, just as if the potter should be esteemed as the clay [HORSLEY], ( Isaiah 45:9 , 64:8 ).
17. turned--as contrasted with your "turnings of things upside down" ( Isaiah 29:16 ), there shall be other and better turnings or revolutions; the outpouring of the Spirit in the latter days ( Isaiah 32:15 ); first on the Jews; which shall be followed by their ( Joel 2:28 ).
fruitful field--literally, "a Carmel" moral change in the Jewish nation shall be as great as if the wooded Lebanon were to become a fruitful field, and vice versa. Compare Matthew 11:12 , Greek: "the kingdom of heaven forces itself," as it were, on man's acceptance; instead of men having to seek Messiah, as they had John, in a desert, He presents Himself before them with loving invitations; thus men's hearts, once a moral desert, are reclaimed so as to bear fruits of righteousness: vice versa, the ungodly who seemed prosperous, both in the moral and literal sense, shall be exhibited in their real barrenness.
18. deaf . . . blind--(Compare Matthew 11:5 ). The spiritually blind, &c., are chiefly meant; "the book," as Revelation is called pre-eminently, shall be no longer "sealed," as is described ( Isaiah 29:11 ), but the most unintelligent shall hear and see ( Isaiah 35:5 ).
19. meek--rather, the afflicted godly: the idea is, virtuous suffering ( Isaiah 61:1 , Psalms 25:9 , 37:11 ) [BARNES].
poor among men--that is, the poorest of men, namely, the pious poor.
rejoice--when they see their oppressors punished ( Isaiah 29:20 Isaiah 29:21 ), and Jehovah exhibited as their protector and rewarder ( Isaiah 29:22-24 , Isaiah 41:17 , 2:5 ).
20. terrible--namely, the persecutors among the Jewish nobles.
scorner--( Isaiah 28:14 Isaiah 28:22 ).
watch for--not only commit iniquity, but watch for opportunities of committing it, and make it their whole study (see Micah 2:1 , Matthew 26:59 , 27:1 ).
21. Rather, "Who make a man guilty in his cause" [GESENIUS], that is, unjustly condemn him. "A man" is in the Hebrew a poor man, upon whom such unjust condemnations might be practiced with more impunity than on the rich; compare Isaiah 29:19 , "the meek . . . the poor."
him that reproveth--rather, "pleadeth"; one who has a suit at issue.
gate--the place of concourse in a city, where courts of justice were held ( Ruth 4:11 , Proverbs 31:23 , Amos 5:10 Amos 5:12 ).
just--one who has a just cause; or, Jesus Christ, "the Just One" [HORSLEY].
for a thing of naught--rather, "through falsehood," "by a decision that is null in justice" [BARNES]. Compare as to Christ, Proverbs 28:21 , Matthew 26:15 , Acts 3:13 Acts 3:14 , 8:33 .
22. Join "saith . . . concerning the house of Jacob."
redeemed--out of Ur, a land of idolaters ( Joshua 24:3 ).
not now--After the moral revolution described ( Isaiah 29:17 ), the children of Jacob shall no longer give cause to their forefathers to blush for them.
wax pale--with shame and disappointment at the wicked degeneracy of his posterity, and fear as to their punishment.
23. But--rather, "For."
work of mine hands--spiritually, as well as physically ( Isaiah 19:25 , 60:21 , Ephesians 2:10 ). By Jehovah's agency Israel shall be cleansed of its corruptions, and shall consist wholly of pious men ( Isaiah 54:13 Isaiah 54:14 , 2:1 , 60:21 ).
midst of him--that is, his land. Or else "His children" are the Gentiles adopted among the Israelites, his lineal descendants ( Romans 9:26 , Ephesians 3:6 ) [HORSLEY].
24. They . . . that erred--( Isaiah 28:7 ).
learn doctrine--rather, "shall receive discipline" or "instruction." "Murmuring" was the characteristic of Israel's rebellion against God ( Exodus 16:8 , Psalms 106:25 ). This shall be so no more. Chastisements, and, in HORSLEY'S view, the piety of the Gentiles provoking the Jews to holy jealousy ( Romans 11:11 Romans 11:14 ), shall then produce the desired effect.

Let's be real: winning this series in Colorado is better than anyone had expected, me included. 10-2 hurts, but finishing the roadtrip 4-2 makes it a little better. Today's game was also somewhat overshadowed by Sandoval's injury, the moment when we thought Buster was injured and, of course, Brandon Belt's birthday present. He's heading to Chuck E. Cheese Park (am I the only one who calls it that? For those of you who don't know, it's actually called Chuckchansi Park.). I'm surprised and not entirely thrilled. I guess that experiment is over? But that begs the question, why did that experiment happen at all?
And the Dodgers news. Selig wised up and intervened in a situation that has really spun out of control. I mean, I was all for the mystical healer/scientist and the positive energy thing. You think they would pay me six figures to do that? I bet I would make a great guru, even if I'm not much of a scientist and I am way closer than Russia.
But I think it's time for the McCourts to find a nice hole to crawl into and hang out with rabbits in waistcoats. Or something. I wish them all the best, but there are only 30 clubs in Major League Baseball and there are a lot of people who could make the Dodgers- who aren't a small market team, or anything- succeed to some extent. It just isn't fair to the city of Los Angeles and their Uggs and their beachballs and their hopefully fake tans. Time for some Selig magic. Why have I spent so much of this season being nice to the Dodgers? I am too softhearted for my own fandom good.
Back to the Giants. Though they only scored two runs today, the first inning run struck again. I love first inning runs/leads before we even take the mound almost as much as I hate blown saves so that made me happy. Cain didn't have a whole lot today and the bullpen was, ahem, shaky. Tired. Like they either missed their morning coffee or drank too many espressos. Can't decide which.
I am actually feeling awfully confident now, which is weird after such a blowout loss. The Braves are under .500 plus the boys in orange and black are coming back to drizzly San Fran so I think all will be right in the world. As I said, I am huge into positive energy.
Now if you'll excuse me… there are Little League games to be attended and my silver and gold bangles are hitting the computer every time I type so if I don't stop writing soon there may be irrevocable damage. Ruined laptops are just the price you pay to look good, right?

Is anyone here familiar with OKOBAN? It is a tag (luggage tag or sticker), each with a unique id. You buy the tags/stickers and attach them to your stuff (luggage, cellphone, ipad, laptop, etc). If you lose something (that is tagged), and someone finds it, he/she can look up the id on the OKOBAN website and indicate that the item was found. OKOBAN then sends a message (email and/or text) to the owner indicating that the item was found and including whatever other info the finder entered on the website (contact phone number, etc). Anyway, I thought it sounded like a pretty cool idea, but I have been able to find very little information about it, aside from company-provided information. It does say on the OKOBAN website that it is owned (or related to) TravelSentry, which seems like a reputable company. Has anyone used OKOBAN? Are there other systems that provide similar capability (tag your stuff, register it online, finders of your lost stuff can go to a website to, hopefully, reconnect you with your stuff). It looks like Dynotag, while not exactly the same, can be used in a similar fashion. Thanks for any info that anyone can provide. asked Sep 28 '12 at 12:55 wageoghe |
So, this is asset management. My domain expertise is in this field, so you are describing a means to barcode or tag things and then scan them to interrogate the attached item. You could accomplish the same thing with QR codes, for example, on sturdy / durable label stock. Enroll the QR code on your website, create a link, and anyone scanning would be brought to the page for that item. This is simple stuff really, so I imagine you'd be paying for someone else to provide the management software solution and enrollment of your "stuff". This would be cool for Good Samaritans trying to return found items. I'm not sure how much a service company could add as value beyond giving you a form to enter in details about your stuff, and contact info for a range of items. I don't imagine you'd be enrolling lots of things, and this doesn't really do much for bad actors finding your stuff. Honestly, for personal use, a simple generic QR code with your personal website is probably enough. The provenance is less important. -C linkanswered Oct 11 '12 at 08:43 Christopher |
Why not just put down your phone number on the tag? "If found, call xxx-xxx-xxxx" Olde skool, but it works fine. linkanswered Oct 11 '12 at 12:54 johngo |

"God is Alive, Magic is Afoot" – The Origins1
For those unfamiliar with the origins of this prose-poem, the following explanation from Take This Longing From My Tongue by Sean Elder (Salon Jun 15, 1999) is helpful in providing context:
Indeed, his first poetry collection was called "Let Us Compare Mythologies," and his celebrated second novel, "Beautiful Losers" (1966), told the story of three (or maybe four) lovers who seemed to exist in a world of their own making. The narrator, an amateur anthropologist trying to reconstruct the myth of his life long after the others are gone, is driven and vexed by the memory of his best friend, F. — who, true to his initial, fucks everything that moves: the narrator, the narrator's wife, the last surviving female members of a Native American tribe the narrator is studying. F. ends up "in a padded cell, his brain rotted from too much dirty sex," but before he dies he leads the narrator to a revelation, "the sweet burden of my argument":
God is alive. Magic is afoot. God is alive. Magic is afoot. God is afoot. Magic is alive. Alive is afoot. Magic never died. God never sickened. Many poor men lied. Many sick men lied. Magic never weakened. Magic never hid. Magic always ruled. God is afoot. God was ruler though his funeral lengthened. Though his mourners thickened Magic never fled …
In this ecstatic passage (which Buffy St. Marie later recorded as a sort of incantation), Cohen has it both ways — god and shaman, mystic and the pagan — and he didn't need Timothy Leary to guide him. (Hydra, where he wrote "Beautiful Losers," was full of pleasure-seeking expatriates then, with visitors that included Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, and Cohen had made the acquaintance of LSD back in New York.) He had his own myths. He didn't need anyone else's.
This passage2 was itself later published as an illustrated book called "God is Alive, Magic is Afoot." The blurb for that volume includes this description:
In the middle of the novel comes a short section that begins with the words. 'God is Alive. Magic is Afoot.' The 400 or so words that follow are arguably some of the finest Cohen has ever written. In them he has created an inspirational mantra that explores the real meaning of Magic and God.
Leonard Cohen Recites "God is Alive, Magic is Afoot"
My working assumption is that this audio clip originated with the September 1967 Camera Three program on CBS, described in this excerpt from Diamonds in the Mine:
Cohen was featured on this CBS Sunday morning cultural affairs program. From The New York Times (1968): "He sang a few songs, read some poems, and was pictured peering sensitively into several tawdry Broadway store windows. The impression he made was strong enough to elicit the greatest audience response in the show's fourteen-year history. One viewer berated the network for "letting this cancer loose" on the Sabbath, but most of those who wrote wanted to know more about Cohen. Who was this ambiguous and tortured poet who prowled the urban slag dump proclaiming God is alive. Magic is afoot?"
From a post on the LeonardCohenForum: "The program ran for 30 minutes. One unique thing about the program was that it contained a performance by Cohen of the song God is Alive, Magic is Afoot, which has never appeared on an album or CD. The Camera Three program was very well done — I think it borrowed some footage from Ladies & Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen, but it also contained an interview segment done expressly for Camera Three and some poetry and songs performed by Mr. Cohen. "
The words Leonard Cohen recites in this 1967 performance was a passage from his 1966 novel, "Beautiful Losers." This passage was itself later published separately as an illustrated book called "God is Alive, Magic is Afoot." Buffy Sainte-Marie first released "God is Alive, Magic is Afoot" on her album, Illuminations, in 1969.
Because Leonard Cohen's recitation is taken from the "Beautiful Losers" instead of the book, ""God is Alive, Magic is Afoot," it includes a final section absent from the Buffy Sainte-Marie version:
Old friend, aren't you happy? You and Edith alone know how long I've waited for this instruction.
–Damn you, Mary Voolnd spits at me.
–Your hand's gone limp.
Leonard Cohen – "God is Alive, Magic is Afoot"

- The complete passage follows:
God is Alive, Magic is Afoot
Lyrics by Leonard CohenGod is alive, magic is afoot
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is afoot, magic is alive
Alive is afoot, magic never died
God never sickened
Many poor men lied
Many sick men lied
Magic never weakened
Magic never hid
Magic always ruled
God is afoot, God never died
God was ruler
Though his funeral lengthened
Though his mourners thickened
Magic never fled
Though his shrouds were hoisted
The naked God did live
Though his words were twisted
The naked magic thrived
Though his death was published
Round and round the world
The heart did not believeMany hurt men wondered
Many struck men bled
Magic never faltered
Magic always lead
Many stones were rolled
But God would not lie down
Many wild men lied
Many fat men listened
Though they offered stones
Magic still was fed
Though they locked their coffers
God was always served
Magic is afoot, God is alive
Alive is afootAlive is in command
Many weak men hungered
Many strong men thrived
Though they boast of solitude
God was at their side
Nor the dreamer in his cell
Nor the captain on the hill
Magic is alive
Though his death was pardoned
Round and round the world
The heart would not believeThough laws were carved in marble
They could not shelter men
Though altars built in parliaments
They could not order men
Police arrested magic and magic went with them
Mmmmm…. for magic loves the hungry
But magic would not tarry
It moves from arm to arm
It would not stay with them
Magic is afoot
It cannot come to harm
It rests in an empty palm
It spawns in an empty mind
But magic is no instrument
Magic is the end
Many men drove magic
But magic stayed behind
Many strong men lied
They only passed through magic
And out the other side
Many weak men lied
They came to God in secret
And though they left Him nourished
They would not tell who healed
Though mountains danced before them
They said that God was dead
Though his shrouds were hoisted
The naked God did live
This I mean to whisper to my mind
This I mean to laugh within my mind
This I mean my mind to serve
Til' service is but magic
Moving through the world
And mind itself is magic
Coursing through the flesh
And flesh itself is magic
Dancing on a clock
And time itself
The magic length of God [↩]

OOPS, There are 3 options, different colors. I wanted the one with the green floor and yellow chair seat! For a deep red wall in a ski condo above an oak headboard with white duvet & linens. Used white frame & off-white mat (bad choice), use "bright white" mat for match to white frame. Return shipping was expensive! $$$ Should be some system to use cheaper company shipping costs.

When I read the package directions on Trader Joe's Chicken Gyoza Potstickers, I opted to skip the stovetop directions of pan-frying the gyoza in favor of the microwave directions. However, even covering the potstickers with a wet paper towel, they came out a bit dry and rubbery in places. I think the healthiest bet would be to steam these so that they're moist but not oily.
The flavor is a tasty sweet and sour blend, and the filling is definitely more chicken-based than vegetable. However, the taste isn't very complex, having really just a generic and standard flavor - I think Trader Joe's could have kicked this up with a bit of lemongrass or coconut. There is the slightest touch of spice, but these are certainly not spicy. However, they aren't bland enough to require me to use dipping sauce - score one for not needing to add more calories!
Each sizeable serving of 7 Trader Joe's Chicken Gyoza Potstickers (140 grams) provides 230 calories, 5% of the daily value for total fat, 0.5 grams of which is saturated fat, 27% of daily value for sodium (yikes - ).
A serving also contains 36 grams of carbohydrates of which 2 grams are dietary fiber (7% of DV) and 2 grams are sugar. Finally, there is also 13 grams of protein as well as 15% of the RDA for both Vitamin C and iron.
Would I buy these again? Perhaps. The one pound bag (three large servings) cost me only $2.99, but they're not really anything special. Nutritionally, they're a bit lower in fat than most potstickers, but the flavor isn't really anything to write home about.

Yes…the basketball tournament has begun, but before we all get glued to our televisions or radios, significant "madness" occurred in and around the State Capitol last night (or very, very early this morning).
What started as an agreement on redistricting late yesterday afternoon quickly progressed to an avalanche of legislative activity. As the sun rose, legislation was passed on most of the major items that have been debated so far this year. From NFIB/NY's perspective, the most significant agreement was on pension reform (Tier VI).
Since this blog adventure started for me a few weeks ago, the bulk of the content has been on the Tier VI debate. Reigning in the costs that are causing enormous fiscal strain on our schools and communities is paramount to ensuring a prosperous future for New York. Pension costs were a significant barrier for school districts and communities of all sizes. Critical services were being threatened, the possibility of layoffs were real and the burden on taxpayers was severely impacting both consumers and small business owners alike. Action was needed. Real action.
While the eventual agreement on Tier VI was not exactly what Governor Cuomo had proposed, it solidly took a step forward and helped create more equity between the private and public sector as well as provide adequate protections for New York's financial future.
NFIB/NY was proud to work with both the legislature and Governor on this important issue and this morning thanked them for their commitment to seeing this needed reform through.
As the dust settles, the coming days will see resolution to the state budget and what I hope is a significant focus on the immediate financial concerns for New York's small business owners and taxpayers.
There is more work to be done, there always is. But the madness so far this March hasn't busted any brackets. Well…maybe it has for a few.

Nobody who's ever been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans forgets seeing the Zulu parade on Mardi Gras morning. Elaborate floats carry men dressed in tribal attire, like grass skirts, and wearing colorful warrior makeup, who throw prized gilded coconuts and other trinkets to the crowds. It's a wild sight on a wild day. Like all of New Orleans Mardi Gras traditions, it has deep social and historical underpinnings that go back a ways. As they say, it's complicated.
The Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club became an incorporated group on September 20, 1916, but the group began even earlier, as a Benevolent Aid Society that collected small dues from members and helped them out when they became sick, or buried them when they died. It was a New Orleans insurance system for African-Americans that has given rise to numerous marching groups and second-line parades to this day, originating from each "ward" or neighborhood in New Orleans.
According to Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club's website, www.kreweofzulu.com/, "The Tramps," a troop of laborers, most of whom were members of the Benevolent Aid Society, attended the Pythian Theater to see a performance by the group Smart Set in early 1909. Included in the comedy was a skit titled, "There Never was and Never Will Be a King Like Me," about the Zulu tribe in Africa. After the play, The Tramps went to their meeting place in the back of a bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street (now near City Hall and the Civil District Courthouse), and came out-Zulus! Since they couldn't be members of the all-white, and rather stuffy, Rex, black Zulu members started their own club.
