- 3/4 cup(s) medium-grain brown rice
- 1.5 cup(s) water
- 4 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 6 medium shallots, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, shredded using the large holes of a box grater
- 1/2 cup(s) toasted pecans, (see Tip)
- 3 ounce(s) goat cheese
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
- Bring rice and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer at the lowest bubble until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 30 to 50 minutes (see Test Kitchen Note). Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; cook, stirring often, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrots, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until softened and the shallots are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables and rice to a large food processor. Add pecans, goat cheese, egg white, thyme, salt and pepper. Pulse until well blended but still a little coarse. Scrape into a large bowl. With wet hands, form the mixture into six 3-inch patties (about 1/2 cup each).
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle registers at least 160°F, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Tip: Spread pecans on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. Test Kitchen Note: Perfectly cooked rice is not simple. In fact, it's something that we struggle with occasionally in the Test Kitchen. To have the most success cooking whole-grain rice, we recommend using a pan with a tight-fitting lid, cooking on your coolest (or simmer) burner and making sure the rice is simmering at the "lowest bubble." While testing the recipes that use less than 1 cup of dry rice, we found that the cooking time varied greatly depending on what stove we used. Although whole-grain rice usually requires 50 minutes of cooking, we found smaller volumes of rice were sometimes done in as little as 30 minutes (and burned at 50 minutes). So, when cooking a small batch of rice, start checking it after 30 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.

Which? Money weekly podcast, 29 June 2011
- Life insurance: how where you buy it from can dramatically affect the price you pay
- Savings accounts: the increase in bonus rates and what to do if you don't want to keep switching
- Cashback sites: a warning about taking care when choosing financial products that come with cashback
This week: life insurance and ways to bring the cost down and getting the best rate on your savings
This week we look at life insurance. Which? Money expert, Martyn Saville, explains his recent research which shows how the same policy can cost different amounts depending on whether you buy it from your bank, direct from the insurer, via a cash back site or an online broker.
He also reveals his top tips on how to bring down the cost of life insurance, and explains some of the jargon you may come across when choosing a policy.
In the studio this week: we're talking about bonus rates on savings accounts. There are more accounts than ever with up front bonuses and in some cases when the bonus rates end you're left earning a pittance on your savings. Alex Kouzarides joins us to talk about the worst offenders among the banks and building societies and what to do if you don't want to keep switching your savings.
Finally we take a look at cash back sites. They can be great for getting money off your purchases but we strike a note of caution about using them when buying some financial products.

I liked this color. Its very convenient with a built in brush. The problems I had with this product is that when applying, the eyshadow drops beneath your eyes a lot. Also, the color is not highly pigmented. It does not stay on long.

Love the smoky, sparkly color. Not too black, kind of an inbetween grey/silver/black. Very pretty and wearable. It drops a bit of color under your eye, but a quick puff of air takes that away (don't rub with a finger). The color stays on WELL. I was most impressed by that. Typically by the end of the day my shadow is a pale representation of what it was at the beginning of the day. I will definitely repurchase and in other colors as well!

I love Victorias Secrets Beauty Rush eye shadows. The shimmering colour is loose in a spill-proof pot. Being loose the colour is richer, long lasting & crease proof.
The easy to use applicator is built into the lid; you cant go wrong with it.
JET SET is a silvery steel gray colour thats perfect for autumn/winter. A must have shade! The next time I go to the US Ill be stocking up!!

Excellent for newbies or experts to the smokey eye. Smooth powder and stays on well. Just shake it before you open it to make sure you get enough podwer on the applicator. This is a nice sparkly black.

I have been on a desperate (and fruitless) search of my holy grail eyeshadow (discontinued cover girl eyeslicks in midnight metal, down to a 1 inch nub lol). I spotted jet set and swiped it on my hand and was so happy. I thought the color was identical, a shimmery silver/steel shade, and immediately bought 2. Well, when i applied it to my lids, the lovely shimmer was non existent. It looked black, slightly grey, and dull. It was hard to blend and i just couldn't get this to work for me.The color would fall and looked racoonish. It is such a dark color, which i imagine could be nice for a smoky eye, but as mentioned, the blendablity was nill. The concept is cute, and nice built in sponge applicator, but this shade is just awful. I would definately buy this product again because the other colors look really pretty, but definatlely not in this shade.

I have dark brown eyes, and on my this shows up as a charcoaly color, but with a green tint or something. That being said, it look fabulous on my eyes. It is great for that smokey eye look, but as previously mentioned, it did go below my eyes, seeing that it is a fine powder, and a lot of clean up was needed. I love the color though, it is HAWT, and I would repurchase because of the silkiness of it, and the color.

Yes, I would purchase this product again, although not in this color. I was hoping this would end up being more of a charcoal but it is a smoky black. It goes on fairly smooth (its better with a primer on your lids) and has faint sparkle. It is great for a dark smokey eye, but it doesn't seem to blend well and I had to do a lot of lid cleanup to make it look like a 'clean' messy look :-) I have other charcoal and black shadows with a hint of sparkle that are smoother and blend better. That being said, I like the packaging of this SO MUCH! Very portable, applicator is in the cap, you get just the right amount of product and not too much. And the other shades in this set are gorgeous so I will repurchase.

While opening my mail recently I had the most unpleasant experience. I'm sure it's happened to you all as well: you get your EOB in the mail, you know, your "Explanation of Benefits" from your insurance company, and you begin scanning down the lists of charges the doctor's office has made. Usually after about three seconds your eyes glaze over and you just cut down to the "patient may owe" section and as long as it's $0.00 it goes in the trash. It is quite unfortunate when you actually do have a "possible" balance and you really look at the charges that have been made to your insurance company because then you see the ridiculous claims being made by our healthcare providers.
Now don't get me wrong, the majority of the time everything is as it should be on my paperwork from the insurance company – vacations, lab work, checkups, etc; however, this one time there was something amiss. Of course strep throat made an appearance around the same time as my concern over this charge, so while at the doctor's office it was brought up. The EOB was for a well-baby check up for the little darling's 15-month visit. Our insurance company covers the visit 100 percent, so I should owe $0.00 – the magic number at the bottom of the page. But then I noticed that I had a "you may owe" of $48.00. So as stated above I brought up the possible charge. Well when I was told what the charge was for, I was flabbergasted.
It was explained to me that during our well check-up that my insurance company was charged $48.00 for a discussion about my daughter's eczema and for the doctor writing a prescription for her. What … are you serious? While we were already at the doctor for a check up we were charged for a discussion about an existing problem and for the doctor to write a prescription. So yes, I was very angry. When at a check up for your child, are you not asked if you have any concerns or questions? Yes you are; and apparently at my doctor's office they now will charge you if you decide to have any discussions over any concerns about your child. Isn't this the point of checkups: to ensure the ongoing health and wellness of your child? And shouldn't that be covered by the well-baby visit fee?
When you see how much they charge for the 15-20 minutes of time that is given to you, it's crazy. And to add insult to injury, they charge $48.00 on top of that for a "talk" about my child's skin condition, a charge that according to the billing department "the doctor rendered" and also one that the doctor did not inform me about before proceeding with said discussion. I just can't get over the whole thing, especially because my doctor's office has submitted this claim twice to my insurance company and they are not going to pay it; and I don't blame them because it's stupid.
I did ask if this was a new office policy because in the five years we have been seeing this doctor we have never gotten a charge like this, and he has written countless prescriptions over the years and had plenty of conversations with me regarding both children. Apparently this is not a new policy in the office, and as stated above, I was told that the doctor is the one who renders this charge. I just really can't wrap my mind around this. How can you charge someone for a conversation when they are already there for a visit, especially when they don't even know they are being charged? Why has the healthcare system become so greedy? Why does it cost $300.00 to look in my child's ear, nose and throat and give her a sticker? I just am done with it and saddened by my doctor and his office. It is all extremely disappointing.
You never really know how to handle these situations, but I know that I always want to get to the bottom of the problem and do so with as much grace and dignity and money in my pocket as possible. I figure I just will have to go to the next doctor's appointment and nicely bring it up with the man himself, but I guess need to ask if I'll be charged first, just in case.

I found a bundle of molding and trim pieces alongside a curb last week. There were 12 foot pieces and smaller sizes with the nails still attached, they also have several layers of paint on them. I removed all the nails and I want to use the pieces for chair-rail inside my home, but I'm concerned about the possibility of lead paint because I researched the homes in that area and I believe they were constructed in the 40's.
I went to Lowe's and Walmart looking for a lead-test kit but they didn't sell them. Walmart has the kit online. Any tips regarding the possibility of lead? Or any tips for refinishing the pieces? They are currently painted a muted yellowy color and I want to paint them a Country White. (They are presently stored in my garage and I don't have little wee-ones running around.) Thank you |

I seem to recall reading that the DIY lead test kits weren't all that accurate but my memory could be at fault. Assume it's lead based paint and proceed accordingly. |
The DIY lead kits are accurate as long as all the paint layers are exposed. Evil Orange has them. Stripping results in a lot of lead contaminated waste. |
Thanks guys for the follow-up to my question. Brickeye---I thought I had made a score with the "free" trim, but you're right, it would be less of a headache to just purchase new lead-free trim. I'm not familiar with Evil Orange but I may look into that before totally giving up on my freebies. : ) Thanks a bunch |
OMG...duh, duh, duh to moi. I get it! You meant evil orange/H.D. I actually googled evil orange. It didn't occur to me what you meant until I saw the results of my search. ROFLOL |
I've struggled with the relative merits of stripping old trim vs. throwing it away. By my reasoning, the leaded paint is going to end up in the landfill either way. So something else has to make the decision for you. I do go with stripping whenever there is something underneath that I couldn't get any other way. For example, our house is a 1905ish vintage with original mouldings that are nearly 5" wide, and 7" baseboards, and they just don't make 'em like that any more. So we have stripped, taking reasonable precautions with respect to lead (and to a much larger extent, we haven't stripped - the bulk of our salvaged mouldings have remained in the basement for 15 years, resulting in a truly eclectic look in the house...). But if it is a trim design that you can get new at any kind of store, then you might save the chemicals and the work and just get new trim. Unless you are needing something to fill up your time :-) KarinL |
See...I'd have loved to get my hands on some 1940's trim when we were re-habing (re-habbing? neither looks correct)our former home. It was built in 1942 and had "true dimension" lumber and trim. New stock trims did not match the original stuff...so in one room we paid a serious premium to get stuff specially milled. Of course, we worked under the assumption that all the paint in the house was leaded...wet-stripped and then sealed with an oil (or perhaps lacquer?) based primer. Whatever the pro in the paint store recommended. (It was 21 years ago...my memory isn't that good anymore). If you aren't going to use it, definitely CL it! |
"New stock trims did not match the original stuff...so in one room we paid a serious premium to get stuff specially milled." A full service lumber yard should be able to order full size older trim. You can also save money by running the molding yourself with a router table and a few bits. For paint grade work I use mostly poplar from a hardwoods dealer so I can get whatever thickness I need to start from. |
I still haven't decided what to do yet. I thought I could patch and sand down any rough areas and be done with it, but it's now growing into a HUGE project. When I first saw the molding on the curb I wanted it to make picture frames for my artwork, but after getting it home I realized it was enough to do a chair rail in one room plus some extra left over. If I ever get the chair rail up I'll post a follow-up. When I look at my garage I always swear I'll never bring another thing/junk home unless I plan to actually use it immediately. I have fantasies of being at Lowe's or HD and being chosen for one of those surprise home/landscape improvement shows. I think of how amazed they would be at all my finds/junk and the ingenious ways they would put them to use. Diagnosis: Too much GW and HGTV. Don't even ask what I brought home last night! Is there a dumpster-divers anonymous group? (I don't actually go into dumpsters...only curbside for me.) |

Album review: Arcade Fire, "The Suburbs"
By Chris Richards
Expectations run dangerously high for Arcade Fire, a band so fluent in grand gestures fans expect nothing short of indie-rock transcendence. But how do you make a tour de force that doesn't sound tour-de-forced?
That's the riddle the band fails to solve on its third album, "The Suburbs." It's a billowy showpiece that embodies everything wrong with 21st-century rock music: the joyless grandiosity, the air-sucking humorlessness, the soggy sentimentality, all those fussy string arrangements. (U2 can be blamed for most of this.) When Arcade Fire debuted in 2004, its oversize ambition had its charms. In 2010, its music feels heavy-handed enough to karate-chop through every cinder block in Montreal.
That's the city the band -- led by singing and songwriting hubby-and-wife duo Win Butler and Régine Chassagne -- proudly called home when it emerged alongside a horde of Canadian indie-rock troupes about six years ago. The band's first two discs -- 2004's "Funeral" and 2007's "Neon Bible" -- were thick with melodramatic verses and overblown choruses. They drew praise to match.
Mercifully, "The Suburbs" is a touch more restrained, but the band still goes largely unchecked, exploding emotional glimpses of faux-intimacy into emotional swells of faux-profundity. It's as if they're transposing the vanilla puddle that separates Wes Anderson and James Cameron into rock-and-roll.
(A nostalgia trip to nowhere, after the jump)
Which means it's easy to get sucked into the band's cinematic bluster, even if you've been down this cul-de-sac before. Lyrically, Butler and Chassagne portray America's suburbs (where Butler grew up) as a place of quiet menace. But instead of investigating the complex, grown-up turf mapped out by John Cheever and Richard Yates so many decades ago, Butler keeps his gaze fixed on that black hole of a navel called childhood.
"The kids want to be so hard," he sings on the title track, the album's first and most promising cut. "But in my dreams we're still screaming and running through the yard." It's one of way too many songs in which Butler ruminates on murky childhood memories and soft-focus regrets. Few tracks shamble past without Butler mentioning "the kids." Thankfully, this first cut is rescued when the band's confident swing dovetails into an elegant chorus, harvesting sparks from the contact point between Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie.
After that, it's a nostalgia trip to nowhere. "Took a drive into the sprawl to find the house where we used to stay," Butler sings on "Sprawl I (Flatland)," an anemic waltz as stultifying as its subject. "Couldn't read the number in the dark."
He remains a vexing frontman throughout. Singing in a distant midrange, Butler is rarely compelling enough to command the spotlight nor intriguing enough to draw you into his shadow. "The memory's fading," he sings on "Deep Blue," a song that relies entirely on his spectral crooning to get us to the finish. "I can almost remember singing, 'la, la, la, la, la, la, la . . .' " (Those time-biding la-la-las barely do the trick.)
That often leaves his six bandmates to negotiate the push-and-pull that makes Arcade Fire tick. Guitars always chime, drums always boom, keyboards always glisten, strings always weep. It's a sonic formula that's allergic to danger and devoid of surprise, with every cathartic chorus staring you down from a mile away.
There are two songs that take soft left turns. "Month of May" sounds like a feisty Neil Young fronting the Cars, and "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" finds Chassagne mimicking the breathless charms of Abba. "The city lights shine," she chirps over plush synthesizers not often heard in the Arcade Fire arsenal. "They're calling at me, 'Come and find your kind.' "
It's the mildest of tweaks, but compared with the tightly scripted vibes that permeate "The Suburbs," it's bold, new terrain -- enough to make you wonder what might happen if this band ever decided to take some real risks.
Arcade Fire performs at Merriweather Post Pavilion on Aug. 6.

The problem with music critics, is the key problem with this critic. They would much rather read their own vocabulary and expansive knowledge of music than enjoy what they are hearing. A cliche sadly portrayed in this instance. The new Arcade Fire album is certainly not like their prior albums, and not as this review projects either. It is a step in a new direction in terms of composition, tone and arrangement. As well there are some refreshing new instruments added into the mix. There is a joy to this album that the critic missed completely. Thankfully for the band, their fan base has stronger faith in them, than half-hearted critics. The new album is great. yup.

I'm not sure I understand the point of this review, or should I say faux-review? Yes, Arcade Fire is an over-the-top band who engage in grandiosity. But joyless? Give me a break. This is an ambitious multi-layered band. And those levels come together in cumulative summation to produce exciting music than is pretty much unrivaled today. Arcade Fire make you think, and they are an absolute joy to listen to.
Posted by: Mark81 | July 31, 2010 12:56 PM | Report abuse
Couldn't agree more with benfeever. i've listened to the album straight through maybe 6 or 7 times and i don't hear any of the malaise or boredom that chris richards is lamenting. Coming on the heels of two very succesful albums, Arcade Fire could have made a third that sounded like their previous work. That would have been disappointing and unoriginal. They didn't. Go back and listen to their discography. Each CD is its own unit, similar to what came before it, but distinct. As for 'the suburbs', its perfectly fine not to like the disc because you miss the arcing sounds and build up of 'funeral' or the consistent action in 'neon bible,' but to disparage it for being boring and bland is just wrong.

Subject: different types of loss
We have had some messages posted to us about different types of loss, other than loss through death. We really understand this, as some of the feelings are very similar, and all kinds of losses can be very difficult, and need support. However, we have decided not to put those messages up, simply because we are here to support young people about loss through death. There are other places to go for support, though. You could try www.there4me.com, or www.childline.org, or www.connexions-direct.com. We do hope you find what you're looking for, all the best.

Lighting is an important aspect of a home, adding both brightness and elegance.
Sandie Vlach, co-owner of Sunshine Lighting, a lighting retailer located in St. Charles, says transitional and contemporary lighting styles have been increasingly popular with her customers this year.
"We are seeing a lot of changes in the finish of fixtures," says Vlach, who owns the business with her husband, Tom. "We are moving away from brass, and customers are buying fixtures in oil-rubbed bronze and polished nickel."
Vlach says homeowners need to look at the type of furniture in the room, the colors in the room and the function of the room to get ideas as to which types of lighting they will need to buy. The size of the room and the height of the ceiling also are very important considerations.
"The trick is selecting a fixture that's not too big but not too small," she says.
Vlach says it helps to know that there are three main types of lighting: general, task and accent.
Interior lightingGeneral lighting provides an area with overall illumination. When a person turns on the switch in a room, general lighting is what lights the entire room.
Task lighting helps an individual perform specific tasks. Under-cabinet lighting that helps a person cook in the kitchen is an example of task lighting.
Accent lighting adds drama to a room by creating visual interest. This type of lighting isn't the main source of light in a room. Vlach says sconces are an example of accent lighting.
Lighting basics Chandeliers are a versatile type of lighting as they provide a good source of general lighting, plus they're very decorative, Vlach says. And they aren't just found in dining rooms or entryways anymore — more and more kitchens and bathrooms are now featuring chandeliers.
"Homeowners are being more creative nowadays about ways to enhance their homes," she says. "They are more daring than they used to be."
Vlach says one of the biggest current trends in home lighting is drum-shade chandeliers. One of the most popular drum-shade chandelier combinations is a chandelier with a sheer drum shade.
Adding a sheer drum shade to a simple crystal chandelier creates a beautiful layered look while still allowing the beauty of the crystals and light to shine through the sheer material. For those who want a more modern look, they can add a more opaque drum shade such as a cotton duck drum shade over a contemporary chandelier.
Caroline Leadingham, the showroom manager at Lighting Options in Geneva, says drum-shade chandeliers are popular among her clientele, as well. This Fox Valley area lighting retailer offers all types of fashionable lighting such as pendants, sconces, ceiling fans/lights, flush mounts, lamps and recessed lighting.
Leadingham says lighting with clean lines and a sleek style resembling a city-loft are what customers are really going for, noting pendants and sconces are very popular types of lighting.
Pendants, a type of task lighting, can be hung above seating areas, in the kitchen, above bathroom vanities and in the entryway. Wall sconces, meanwhile, are a type of accent lighting that's very popular in home design. They come in a wide variety of shapes and light designs and are found in many different rooms of the house.
Other considerations Recessed lighting, or can lighting, is a popular form of general lighting. Lighting Options offers recessed lighting in contemporary, traditional and transitional styles as well as numerous finishes such as brass, bronze, polished nickel and copper.
Apart from the actual fixture, Vlach says the lighting world is seeing changes in the actual bulb itself, as lighting moves away from incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lights, or CFLs, to light-emitting diode, or LED, light bulbs.
"LED is the future of lighting," she says.
When purchasing bulbs, Leadingham says to pay special attention to Environmental Protection Agency laws regarding lighting. Incandescent bulbs are being phased out, and manufacturers aren't permitted to make incandescent bulbs in certain wattages anymore.
Leadingham and Vlach both agree that lighting is a fashion-driven industry, and it's not just about illuminating a space. Homeowners put a little bit of their personalities into their homes by adding lighting that looks good to them and is pleasing to the eye.
"Lighting is fun. Putting lighting in a room is like putting icing on the cake," Vlach says. "Lighting is what makes a room look beautiful."
Holiday lighting Decorating a home and yard with brightly colored decorations is a popular Christmas ritual.
Brian Larsen — owner of County Wide Landscaping in Elburn, which specializes in brick paver patios, driveways, full-yard landscape redesigns, water gardens, waterscapes and holiday lighting — shares different ways to light up the home for the holidays.
To create a holiday fantasy in and around the home, Larsen notes the following trends in holiday lighting:
• LED Lights: When selecting the type of light to decorate their homes, many people are turning to LED versus incandescent, Larsen says. While LEDs do cost more at first, they're worth the investment. According to Larsen, LEDs last longer than traditional lights, consume less power and don't break easily.
Icicle Lights and LED Falling Icicle Lights: Icicle lights have been a popular holiday decoration for several years. They are hung along the exterior roofline of a home or building and have long, vertical strands of lights that resemble icicles when lit. Icicle lights are usually white in color, but are also offered in a variety of colors. Larsen says a new variation to the popular icicle lights is LED falling icicle lights, which are lights that emulate falling snow in the night sky and are displayed just like icicle lights.
Music and Lights: Larsen says holiday light displays that literally dance to the music are becoming very popular. With improvements in technology, the tradition of decorating a home and yard for the holidays has evolved from the use of a few strands of lights and garland to full-fledged light shows synchronized to music.
White Lights: Larsen says homeowners choose white lights when they want a clean and elegant look, but colored lighting products are still popular. Coordinating lights by colors — for example, green lights on trees and red lights circling the trunks — can create a unique look. Red, white and blue lights are a popular color theme besides the standard holiday red and green, he adds. kc

Nitin Chandra has been constantly in the lime light ever since he has announced his ambitious bhojpuri movie DESWA. From his busy schedule, Nitin Chandra spared some precious time with our correspondant talkin bout his movie...
First of all, directing and producing such a big budget movie in bhojpuri, how did the idea come around ?
Bhojpuri is my mother tongue. My mother is from Champaran and father from Buxar. I graduated in film education and completed masters degree from University of Pune. I was working with Tanuja Chandra and later Dibakar Banerjee as assistant director. The plight of bhojpuri cinema drawn my attention and I found that there is huge potential in this segment and thus I made a bhojpuri film.
How will DESWA be different from other bhojpuri movies ?
DESWA is like any other world class film with real location, real characters, real situations and real performances. This kind of film is never made in the history of Bhojpuri Cinema. Only when you watch it, you will come to know what I am talking about.
Sources inform us that DESWA will also be screened in multiplexes, do you expect the multiplex audience to come and watch a bhojpuri movie ?
DESWA is a movie which will attract the educated bhojpuria audience. There has been no attempt made to attract the educated bhojpuria segment of this country. Most of the bhojpuri films are laced with pornographic type images in form of dance numbers or double meaning dialogues. DESWA is clean, social and crime oriented film which will make you think. This is first Multiplex film in Bhojpuri.
The normal bhojpuri audience is the one which pays 20,30,or 40 rs for the bhojpuri movies, do you expect them to go to mall for DESWA ?
There is a very small segment of bhojpuri speaking people who see bhojpuri films and that is the reason why bhojpuri films are low on budget and poor in quality. Like I said the major segment of bhojpuri society doesnt see bhojpuri film and they are waiting see a classic bhojpuri film. But same time DESWA will be a hit with single screen audience too.
DESWA's music has been much talked about... What is its specialty?
For the first time a bhojpuri film will witness biggest singers of this country like Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Mika, Swanand Kirkire, Sharda Sinha and Bharat Sharma Vyas together. Not a single track are inspired or copied from any other song like it is mostly done in other bhojpuri films.
Rather than choosing the stars from Bhojpuri film industry, u went for the bollywood faces, why ?
Though I had approached some stars of bhopjuri but later I realised that this film need some realistic actors than stars, DESWA is a kind of movie which would have required acting which is real and subtle. It is a privilege that actors like Ashish Vidyarthi, Pankaj Jha and Neetu Chandra are contributing to the growth of bhojpuri cinema. We must celebrate this occasion, it is paving way to many other film makers.
Does this mean that while you are making international level bhojpuri movie, not a single actor of bhojpuri film industry is not capable of getting a role in it ?
There are few faces in DESWA who have done bhojpuri movies in past. As you rightly said that this is International level bhojpuri cinema.
When is it releasing?
It will be releasing most probably in January.

Bruce Blythe, Business EditorThe White House, Congress and NFL players and owners have tag-teamed to give us one long, sweaty summer of discontent, generating a seemingly endless barrage of collective-bargaining and debt-ceiling blather but little apparent agreement or concrete action.
I hope the fresh produce industry has been paying attention to all of this, without getting too caught up in it, because I think there are lessons to be applied.
Before too long, it will be time to take up debate on the 2012 farm bill, and the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to be gained, or lost, by the country's food producers.
In this budget-tightening climate, it's likely Congress will trim some agricultural spending. Fortunately for fresh produce growers, much of the talk of cuts revolves around so-called direct payments and other subsidies for producers of corn, soybeans and other major crops.
According to the American Enterprise Institute, eliminating such programs could save U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion over the next decade.
Nonetheless, whether the produce industry will hold on to gains made in the 2008 farm bill remains far from certain.
Robert Guenther, senior vice president of public policy for the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association, expects a "fight to survive and keep our levels" from the 2008 bill.
Formally titled the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, the bill allocated about $3 billion for programs devoted to fruits, vegetables and other specialty crops.
It also slotted $1.02 billion over 10 years to expand the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snack Program for school kids.
Guenther, in a late July interview with The Packer's Tom Karst, said he expects the next farm bill will be "intertwined very closely" with ongoing negotiations over raising the federal debt ceiling.
While House lawmakers haven't proposed any cuts to specialty crops funding, any reductions in agricultural research spending may still take a bite, he said.
Now seems like prime time for the produce industry to put its heads together and figure out a plan.
Which programs from the 2008 bill are working? What needs improvement? Why is it important to devote more money to this program or less to that? What's our overall message?
So far, I've seen few specifics from the industry.
A few weeks ago, a recently formed advocacy group that calls itself AGree touted plans to "transform" U.S. agriculture and food policy by the end of the decade.

Performance Centered Design 2002 Submission
The integrated sensor radio frequency identification system (ISRFID) is a performance centered design tool developed for logistics workers to alert in-storage and in-transit exceedences of conditions like temperature, pressure, and humidity that can be corrected to prevent damage to high-value assets.� As a by-product, inventory and transportation system managers gain valuable information that leads to total asset visibility and enables improved decisions for better utilization of critical support assets.��
Today�s marketplace increasingly relies on just-in-time inventory management and lean manufacturing and logistics business processes.� Material requirements planning systems have substituted information on in-transit visibility for inventory to reduce task lead times.� Shippers such as FEDEX and UPS use barcodes, handheld scanners, and radio-frequency identification devices to provide near-real-time visibility of items shipped under their labels.� The marketplace has come to rely on the total asset visibility provided by technology employed by the major shippers such as FEDEX, UPS and others.
Expensive assets like jet engines, helicopter transmissions, etc. are not shipped by companies like UPS and FEDEX and are typically stored in air-tight, pressurized canisters to protect them from environmental elements such as humidity and extreme temperature fluctuations.� The same canisters also serve as the shipping containers when items are transported from one location to another.� For costly assets in storage and in transit, the airtight pressurized seals of the shipping containers are critical to protect the assets.� Inventory logistics specialists today utilize visual systems such as color-coding through desiccant ports and pressure relief valves to monitor internal conditions of the canister.� This labor intense, low skill task is frequently not performed properly if at all and damaged assets are usually the result of seals that allow in humidity-laden air.� The ISRFID system provides temperature, humidity and pressure exceedence alerts to the integrated logistics specialists to focus their maintenance efforts on canisters that have exceedences thereby reducing workload and improving performance.� Material requirements planners and logisticians for the maintenance repair, and overhaul activities of high-value assets must currently rely on labor-intense procedures and paper based tracking systems to manage the storage and in-transit visibility of these mission critical end items.� As a result, assets are frequently lost in-transit, and once stored, often cannot be located. The Government Accounting Office estimates that eleven percent of the Department of Defense�s high-value asset shipments are misplaced, misrouted and lost while in-transit or storage.
The current method of monitoring for humidity intrusion requires an individual to manually inspect each container on a periodic basis.� This is a slow, tedious process that many times is overlooked by the responsible group due to other job priorities and in some respects the volume of containers that must be surveyed.
Figure 1: Group of shipping containers
Additional problems arise from tracking the movement of these assets and their respective shipping containers.� Each location must log the shipment and acceptance of a container.� This information is input into a central tracking system that monitors the movement of containers.� Unfortunately, it is very common for shipping documents to get misplaced or for shipments to arrive at a particular location and go unnoticed for long periods of time.
Through a project sponsored by the Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP) of the United States Navy, the Logistics and Maintenance Applied Research Center (LandMARC) at Georgia Tech has developed an integrated hardware and software system to monitor and track high-value assets providing inventory logistic specialists with performance support tools to focus their maintenance efforts on the containers where the seals have been compromised and conditions exist that could lead to the damage of the assets.�� The system is called Integrated Sensor Radio Frequency Identification or ISRFID.
The ISRFID system provides several performance advantages in areas of process automation and simplification, integration into existing applications to improve performance, and input devices that enhance the human performance. The general objective is to provide intelligent and proactive assets that will automatically provide status on:
* Readiness � condition of the asset
* Accuracy � item identification
* Location � total asset visibility
with focused human intervention.� This ability improves the user�s performance and automates most of the manual tasks including checking containers� temperature, humidity, etc.� This automation will provide a reduction in errors and an improvement in performance from the user.
The hardware designed for the ISRFID is a new technology that did not previously exist.� It is a programmable �tag� that consists of a microprocessor, RF transceiver, and various environmental sensors all placed on a small circuit board (see Figure 2) that are packaged together with a long-life battery.� The entire unit is securely mounted inside of the storage/shipping container for the purpose of monitoring the environmental conditions that the asset is exposed to and storing important asset and container information that can later be retransmitted.
Figure 2: Tag Circuit Board
Figure 3:� Front View of Tag
Figure 4:� Side View of Tag
The tag can transmit and receive messages through RF communications as well as store data, via the microprocessor, in non-volatile memory for recall at a later time.� For example, the tag might receive an RF message to store the serial number of an asset inside a container from a handheld device.� Since the container is in a sealed unit, an interrogation message could prompt the tag to retransmit that serial number at a later time.� This feature proves highly valuable if the paperwork is ever lost during storage or shipping.� Typical information that can be stored includes asset ID, asset serial number, container ID, container serial number, and various other fields such as a tracking number to identify its destination.� This also improves the efficiency of the user�s time in locating particular assets since most containers are erroneously marked.
Figure 5: Example of Container Identification Information
The tag also monitors the conditions inside the container continuously, and� transmits real-time data on a periodic basis or instantaneously through remote interrogation.� Remote interrogation can occur through a local PC or handheld device.� The normal monitoring operation consists of setting high and low thresholds for various sensors and having the tag automatically transmit an exceedence notification when a particular sensor detects a value outside of the set threshold.
RF transmissions and receptions are monitored and controlled through several software interfaces.� Through use of an off-the-shelf handheld device like an IPAQ or Palm Pilot, the tag can be programmed and interrogated using the ISRFID handheld software.� The software is compatible with both the Windows CE platform and the Palm OS platform.� The only requirement for communications is a specially designed RF transceiver, also built by GTRI, which attaches to the built-in serial port of the handheld device.
Figure 6: Front view of IPAQ with RF Transceiver
Figure 7: Side view of IPAQ with RF Transceiver
Features of the handheld interface include a broadcast command that is issued to all tags in close proximity (less than 100 feet).� Each tag will respond to the handheld with their unique serial number and a list will be displayed to the user.� The user can then select an individual tag from all available tags for the purpose of programming or interrogating that tag.�
Figure 8:� ISRFID IPAQ Screen used to ping sensors.
Programming the tag can include storing important serial numbers, setting sensor thresholds, and clearing any exceedences that have been detected.� Interrogating the tag involves recalling any stored data as well as reporting the current values of the environmental sensors.� If an exceedence is present, the value will be highlighted in red text to provide a visual warning to the user.�
The ability to interrogate the container and its contents remotely saves a considerable amount of time for the user, since he/she does not have to physically locate and inspect the container.� In some cases this feature could reduce the user�s inspection time by 80%.
A second software interface component in the system is the Remote Monitoring Station or RMS.� Whereas the handheld is intended for one-to-one programming and interrogation, the RMS monitors an entire local zone of tagged containers.� The RMS software is installed on a local PC and has the ability to interrogate and monitor several hundred tags over period of time.� Depending on the size of a military base or storage yard, it is possible that multiple RMS locations would exist in large areas.
Figure 9: RMS Screenshot
The RMS has all of the features resident in the handheld interface, but adds several important features that enable the local zone to be monitored with little to no human intervention.� The RMS will periodically transmit broadcast messages to determine if any new containers have been introduced to the local zone.� This same process would also determine if containers have been removed from the local zone.� This list of local containers is maintained by the RMS for several important reasons.� First, each tag is automatically interrogated every few hours to determine its current condition.� All readings that are gathered are displayed on the screen and any exceedences are highlighted in red.� Second, the list is made available to the users so they can quickly determine which containers are in the area.� The RMS software aggregates the data into logical groupings to make it quick and easy to obtain an overall status of the local zone.
The most important feature of the RMS is that it serves to gather data for a 24 hour period and automatically transmit this data to the third piece of ISRFID software, the Central Monitoring Station (CMS).� The RMS is configured to automatically establish a dial-up connection to the Internet and FTP the RMS data files to the CMS for storage in a database.
The CMS interface is a web-based interface that resides in one central location.� It consists of a website, an Oracle database, and a small Java application.� The website is built on JSP technology which allows us to create dynamic content and achieve platform independence.� From the website, users have access to sensor readings from anywhere in the world.� Not only can users view environmental conditions for a specific asset container, but also quickly determine where a specific asset or container is located.
Figure 10: CMS Homepage�����
The homepage of the CMS presents the user with quick container and asset search options.� There is also a large map showing all the different RMS locations that are being monitored.� By clicking on the map location, the user is taken to a screen showing current readings for that location.� Interface features of the website include the ability to sort any of the data columns, filter data by date, location, serial number and/or exceedence, and view data by asset, sensor, or containers only.
Figure 11: CMS Filter Feature.
Just like the handheld and RMS interfaces, exceedences are also highlighted in red text.�
Figure 12: CMS Sensor Readings
Figure 13: CMS Quick Search Feature
The most obvious advantage of ISRFID is the automated monitoring of assets and containers.� The existing methods of checking environmental conditions inside a container were often unreliable and not consistently practiced.� ISRFID eliminates these problems by allowing automatic monitoring of the containers through the tags placed inside the containers.� The RMS software automatically detects� the presence of a tag and immediately begins to monitor its sensor readings.� Users now have the ability to sit down at one computer and monitor hundreds of containers at once.� This results in significant amounts of time and money saved.
The second advantage to ISRFID is the ability to store data on the tag itself.� Currently, the asset and container paperwork is stored in a small box on the outside of the container.� If this paperwork is ever lost of damaged, the only way to determine the contents of the container is by breaking the seal of the container and removing the lid or cover.� This is a time consuming and costly process due to the size and conditions of the container.� With ISRFID, a person can simply interrogate the tag inside for important information via the handheld or RMS interfaces.
The third advantage of ISRFID is the asset and container tracking information provided by the system.� The RMS interface automatically detects the movement of tags and therefore it tracks the movement of the containers.� When an RMS location updates the CMS database with a new tag location, you immediately know where a container has moved.� This process takes place independent of when and where a normal shipping clerk decides to update their own records.� This tracking ability significantly reduces the time it takes to locate containers or assets that might be missing.
In summary, the ISRFID combined with the RMS and the CMS provide the following benefits:
1. Supports the user by reducing workload and improving data integrity.
2.�Provides support by improving the user�s goal of accurate and safe tracking and storage information for assets.
3.�With the exception of the user submitting asset information to the tag, the RMS and CMS perform all other tracking automatically.� The only other feature requiring user intervention is the transfer of data from the CMS to other organic US Navy tracking databases.
4.�By eliminating the need to physically inspect the indicators on the container, the user can dedicate more time to other tasks in the yard.
5.�Automatically notifying the system and thus the user that an asset has arrived in their area allows processing and routing of that asset to be performed and scheduled in a timely manner.� This automation eliminates the wasteful task of walking around to locate a container.
6.�A reduction in training will be achieved since the RMS and CMS are linked to the main tracking system.� This data transfer will reduce the training required on the tracking system, which is cumbersome and non-intuitive.
7.�By including hardware and an active system we have expanded on the software driven, tutorial based PCD paradigm by creating a multi-tiered smart technology approach.�
Before ISRFID, it was required that an individual physically visit each container and check the environmental storage conditions of the container.� To check humidity, for instance, a little blue sticker was placed inside the container and was visible through a small view port.� The inspector had to locate the sticker and visually evaluate its color.� If the sticker turned pink, that meant that humidity was too high.� A blue color meant that humidity levels were acceptable.
Manually checking hundreds or thousands of containers took enormous amounts of time and labor.� In most cases, the containers simply were not checked for long periods of time.� This often resulted in damaged assets that had to be repaired or replaced at considerable cost to the military. �Other problems include forgetting to place the humidity sticker inside the container or having the sticker fall out of place.
In terms of tracking the assets, the Navy currently has a large database for keeping track of valuable assets such as engines. �The system is called the Aircraft Engine Management System or AEMS.� This database relies on the shipping and receiving locations to manually input the location updates of assets.� Most of the time, this process does not take place in a timely and reliable fashion.� With the Oracle database that the CMS maintains, AEMS administrators have the ability to verify asset locations based on information supplied by various RMS updates.
There are two groups of users impacted by ISRFID.� The first group is the inventory logistic specialists. The majority of those in the first group have a high school equivalent education and are provided minimal information.� They possess critical knowledge for remediation of condition exceedences.� ISRFID will enable the inventory logistic specialists to perform the tasks for which they are most knowledgeable by concentrating their efforts to situations that require remediation.
The second user impacted by the ISRFID is the inventory planner who relies on outdated information to predict quantity requirements at inventory nodes based on experience versus information.� With ISRFID the inventory planner will be able to use his/her experience and knowledge combined with information on asset location and status to optimize the total inventory schedule repair and support actions with greater accuracy as well as reduce the total assets required to manage the pipeline.� In effect, the inventory planner will become a command and control specialist armed with information that enables him/her to anticipate and provide the right assets at the right place at the right time.�
There are numerous impacts of this system on the current processes.� These impacts are:
- Reduction in inventory of lost engines.
*� Currently the Navy loses a number of engines/modules while in transit over a given year.� This year NAVAIR (Naval Aviation Systems) had proposed to survey up to 30 engines.� With this proactive system we can avoid these surveys thus saving an estimated $5.6 M per year- the cost of finding an estimated 14 engines per year that would otherwise be surveyed.
- Reduced instances of stored Ready-for-Issue (RFI) and Non-Ready-for-Issue (NRFI) assets reaching Beyond Economic Repair (BER) status or complete losses due to corrosion.
* The ability to ensure the safe storage of an engine will save $250k per year in repair costs on perfectly viable engines that were damaged in storage due to humidity.
-Based on Care of Supplies in Storage (COSIS) operations at MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) Cherry Point, it has been estimated that it would cost $200K annually to open every engine container that came in for repair to verify the condition status of the engines. Cherry Point performs about 25% of the Navy's engine repairs.
* O&S Cost avoidance savings is estimated to be $600K per year.
* The tag will provide condition information such as humidity changes and will enable avoidance of mandatory condition inspections prior to storage.
- Lower costs to refurbish containers. A preservation and status are more closely monitored; restoring preservation levels in the can should preserve the containers themselves in a better state of material condition.
- Lower loss rates for engines containers because of tracking, inventorying and full/empty status errors.
* O&S Cost avoidance savings is estimated to be up to $420K per year.

Western Sizzlin Wood Grill 785-827-5078
Visit website 1708 W Crawford Street, Salina, KS 67401 Opens today at 11 a.m.
Products / What is Flamekist?
Flamekist- flaym.kist (adj) 1)a method of grilling by using flames both on the top and the bottom of the meat to open the grain of the steak to allow the flavor to penetrate and then sear the edges to thus enhance the flavors and preserve the juices. 2)The art of perfect steaks. 3)The flavor you can only find at Western Sizzlin.
Our founder, Nick Pascarella developed the Flamekist process over 40 years ago! Nick thought that if searing the bottom of the steak made it juicy, then adding flames to the top would make them twice as good. He was right and the world famous FlameKist® steak was born! This unique process opens the grain of the steak and locks in the flavor as it is seared to a savory perfection.
Franchisees from all parts of the country will tell you that its the only way to make a tender, juicy steak. We know that tasting is believing, so what are you waiting for?
What is Flamekist? It's unique. It's delicious. It's all that and a side of fries. It's Western Sizzlin.
