The year-long suspension handed down to the first and only Elite XC Heavyweight Champion, Antonio Silva (11-1), following his positive steroid test in July apparently won't keep the Brazilian giant from competing after all.
The Japanese promotion World Victory Road has signed "Bigfoot" to compete on its next Sengoku event scheduled to take place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, on January 4. Yoshihiro Nakao (7-1) — the man who Heath Herring infamously knocked out before their fight even started after getting kissed — has been confirmed as his opponent.
As of right now Silva is eligible to re-apply for a license to fight in the United States in July of 2009, but taking a fight in another country that doesn't recognize the suspension is not going to look good on that application. In fact, he could face an uphill battle in the future with this move.
Reports have surfaced that the CSAC sent the Brazilian a letter claiming if he takes the fight in Japan that he's risking a permanent loss of license in the state of California. There have also been rumors that other commissions, most notably the Nevada State Athletic Commision (NSAC) - would follow suit with a similar penalty.
Silva was left with no choice according to manager Alex Davis.
From his recent email to Sherdog.com :
"Antonio has decided to fight, he really has no option. He's innocent, he's tried to prove it and it fell on unwilling ears, and he has financial commitments that to not meet would have serious consequences for him. In light of these, he has decided to continue his career in Japan until when and if his situation with the CSAC is resolved."
Silva is still claiming his innocence and hoping that his name will eventually be cleared. Since the CSAC has already heard - and denied - Silva's appeal, there's no reason to believe they'll suddenly change their minds.
Silva is risking a lot, probably too much, to take this fight. We won't know for sure what happens until he applies for another license in the states again icome summer 2009, but none of this sounds very good for Bigfoot in the long run.

Hey Wilbur, you cute little pup! What have you been up to? Are you learning any new commands or tricks? How's that potty training coming along? Is your mom Elly_nj spoiling you rotten?
Wilbur, post a pic of yourself! We want to see what you look like now! |

Hi Sephia, A friend told me you posted this message. So nice of you to ask about Wilbur. He's doing great. Just about 4 months old, and still wiggly. We made our first visit to Whole Foods today, and he was so good. He did not want to leave the cheese department, though. Here is a video I took this morning at a playground. There are some other pictures there, too. Thanks! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Slide
LOL!!! Great video!! |
Oh, Elly, he is just so darn cute! I'm particularly interested because I love the CCI organization. I do a regular monthly donation to that organization and the company I work for matches it dollar for dollar. I am fortunate in that I am financially able to donate to causes that I strongly believe in, and CCI is one of them. That's funny - didn't want to leave the cheese department. I sure like hearing updates and seeing pictures! Thanks for sharing! |

Exploring NRSC-G201-A
A technologically economical explanation of NRSC-5 IBOC compliance
After setting your reference level, change the RBW to 1kHz (for the FM band). As I mentioned previously, use the average power (or RMS) detector in the analyzer, and let it sweep at least 100 times (leave the sweep speed on auto) and for at least 30 seconds.
What can we expect to see for results?
Another common feature in newer analyzers is the ability to set "limit lines" on the display to quickly judge whether or not the emissions you measure are in compliance. Take a look at Table 1 to see those limits – keeping in mind those refer to 1kHz RBW on the analyzer.
Frequency Offset relative to carrier (kHz) | Level relative to carrier (dBc/kHz) |
100 - 200 | -40 |
200 - 250 | (-61.4 - [freq. in kHz - 200]) × 0.260 |
250 - 540 | -74.4 |
540 – 600 | (-74.4 - [freq. in kHz - 540]) × 0.293 |
>600 | -80 |
If your analyzer meets all the other requirements mentioned herein but won't accommodate limit lines, then when printing out the results (or otherwise generating a hard copy of the results) you'll need to add the limit lines yourself.
During the measurement process, I first look at a span of 500kHz. I then go up to 1MHz, and finally 2MHz. See Figures 4, 5 and 6 for examples.
By making your input reference level as close to one of the 10s as possible (like -10dBm) and then adjusting the span so that each division is a multiple of 100kHz you'll find evaluating your performance with respect to the mask is made easier.
IBOC measurements are easy to do if you have the correct instrumentation. Make notes on the particular details of how it is done in your case, and file the results in a well-known spot (one you won't forget about between measurements) and you'll have gotten one more of your job functions completely under control.

Avoid planting invasive trees such as the Bradford pear
- Details
- Parent Category: News
- Category: Outdoors
- Written by Bill Graham
- Hits: 123
Spring is a wonderful time to plant new trees and shrubs, but landscapers should be careful not to plant species that can harm native habitats such as woodlands. Bradford pear, or Callery pear, for one, is an ornamental tree that has become invasive and chokes out native species in natural areas and parks. Gardeners and homeowners are urged to consider native alternatives for spring planting, such as the downy serviceberry.

We're remodeling the kitchen and have narrowed the oven choices down to Bosch or Electrolux (would love to have Miele, but concerned about posts on oven temps and then there's the price ...)
Looking at 27" models - open to either single or double. If we do a single oven, then we'd consider adding a speed oven on top of that. Would appreciate opinions on these two for reliability and quality of baking. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm about the pull the trigger on an Electrolux Icon double oven. I found that I didn't need a warming drawer because it has a warming feature, which saves me money. It also has bread proofing (85-100 degrees, adjustable) and that was the other thing I planned to use the warming drawer for. I like the recessed bottom element, and the fact that each oven is equipped with three of the glide racks and one regular rack. I looked at their owner's manual and the electronic controls are pretty straightforward and intuitive; I compared that to the Dacor, which was my other top-runner and the Dacor was very deep in menus and hard to figure out. And it has rapid preheat, which was a plus. The downside of the Electrolux for me was that I can't figure out how to cook with pure convection; the best I can tell, it's either convection bake (bottom element+convection), convection broil (top element+convection), or convection roast (both elements+convection). That being said, I think I can live with it. The final thing that sold me was the look of the "professional series" model. I like the all-stainless better than the black stripe. Sorry this doesn't address Bosch (except the looks). And you didn't say you were considering an Icon, not sure if there are differences from standard Elux. If you haven't already, I recommend you read the owner's manuals for each of the ones you consider, though, to get a feel for exactly what it will do. |
I can't do the Icon because my understanding is it's only available in 30" and I'm stuck with 27 unless I want to start ripping out cabinets... which I don't. The owners manual is really a good idea - thanks for your help |
Hilltop55, The only thing the pure convection MIGHT be useful for is when you have the oven really full. I never have had to use in on my Wolf oven and have never wished I had it on my Electrolux oven and I have packed them both out over the 3 1/2 years I have had them. The third element comes on during the convection modes and keeps the heat very even. I had a Dacor Discovery oven and it took so long to heat, at least 30 min, while the E-lux(30 inch) heats to 350 in about 7 minutes. It takes a little time after that for any oven to stabilize, but as soon as it preheats, I start baking. Sorry I have not baked in a Bosch. |
wekick, You have both a Wolf and an Electrolux? I don't want to hijack this thread but I would love to know whether one cooks better than the other. |
The Wolf is in a range and 36 inches wide so a little different than the wall oven and I tend to use them a little differently but both bake equally well I think. I use the Electrolux the most because it is smaller, heats quickly and is waist high. I tend to use the Wolf for things that take longer. I usually bake cookies and appetizers in the E-lux though and it works great. |
I have bosch 800 series 30" oven for about 6 months now. I really like it. Bakes/broils everything great. I can agree about the looks - perhaps more SS would look better. Also the control panel takes some getting used to but it is a breeze to clean. I find it very accurate - love all the different settings and the racks work well. one is telescopic. the cavity is huge as is the window and the lighting inside is very good. the only i haven't tried is the probe. |
Thanks - we've decided to go with the Bosch -- wish the 800 series was available in 27" but, it's not. |

I purchased a new Electrolux Icon Pro 30 inch double oven (Model E30EW85GPS5) May 2011 and they were installed in late July 2011. I have had problem after problem with these ovens. This is so different than what my research showed prior to this purchase. Here is the good and then l'll give the problem history following: The good: � Great lighting and design big window While I believe the Electrolux is a good oven it is also very clear that they do have some problems and as a newer appliance line the problems are now just coming out. So here are the problems only one of which I believe is a design issue, the balance I think are bad parts and that I unfortunately have a very expensive lemon in my new kitchen. The problems: �September 2011- the upper oven door frame started to separate and come apart-- a new door frame was ordered and installed-- 2 vists to complete repair BTW I also had a problem on my Electrolux Icon Pro 36 inch slide in gas cook top. One of the cast iron grates cracked the first time I used the cooktop. I was told that was not a warranty item and had to purchase a replacement grate at a cost of over $150. My experience is soooo different than what I had researched on these appliances. .To be continued I'm guessing |
Guess I should be glad that I decided against the elux icon at the last minute. I really liked a lot of the features. Went with the Wolf e series during their sale - Can't wait til the remodel and install! |
alysson1111 - so sorry to hear of your troubles with the Electrolux, but really appreciate you sharing the pluses and minuses. I looked everywhere in the area and could not find anyone who had an Electrolux on the floor. I can't buy a major appliance sight unseen. At the last showroom, they said they had trouble getting parts and trouble getting service for the Electrolux. That may be a problem unique to our area (San Antonio), but it was the deciding factor for moving to Bosch - we know service is readily available as well as parts. |
Txjoyce, that is interesting. We were looking at Viking, Elux Icon and Jenn-Air at the same dealership, and the guy said that of all of them Electrolux had the best service and support. We are moving to a remote area, and he said his remote customers had gotten parts directly from Electrolux with no hassle. I know sales people don't always know the score on service, but I can't think why he would say that about the least expensive of the three unless he knew it was factual. |
I thought it was strange also - may have just been his experience, or perhaps he didn't make as much from selling Electrolux. I looked high and low in our area and no one had one on the floor, so I decided against it. Like I said, maybe it's just a San Antonio thing!! |
Sorry to hear about the problem with ovens. Unfortunately there are no ovens where at least a few don't have problems, Of Course, if it's yours, It's a real "Bummer"! This does not seem to be typical of the Electrolux ovens. Gary |
Here is a link that might be useful: Elux oven reviews
- Posted by nerdyshopper (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 12 at 19:31
I am not sure if there has been any problem with the Bosch ovens. I think I will need to do a search. I went to the big online dealers and only found two unsatisfying reviews among them all. Most had none. |
We are shopping for a wall oven and other appliances. Trying to weigh pros and cons of all the brands in our feature and price range is mind numbing as others have also posted. Electrolux Icon has the smoothest rolling racks of any we've seen. They're so smooth that unless the rack supports are perfectly level, I can see the racks rolling in and out on their own. Allyson1111's racks would not stay pulled out. Google "Electrolux oven rack problems" and you'll find four YouTube postings from earlier this year by a very disgruntled couple showing racks that drift the other way - they won't stay in. I'm beginning to be skeptical of the Electrolux rack support design. The supports are not permanently fixed to the sides of the oven but clip in and are designed for removal along with the racks before self cleaning. We took all the racks out of an Electrolux Icon display oven and unclipped/re-clipped one of the supports. It all seemed solid to us, but we still think it makes more sense to have the rack supports permanently mounted and designed to self-clean with the oven. That is, if you are inclined to even use self-clean on any brand oven after all the warnings. |
Nobody has yet mentioned that only the Electrolux allows for open-door broiling, which helps properly make the top of your foods crispy without cooking all the way through. Most closed-door broilers I've used bake more than broil, although Bosch and Thermador seem to get better reviews than most others that are closed-door-only. |
Just a followup to my original post -- our Bosch 500 series double oven has been installed for about 6 months now and we love it. Temperatures are even in both the conventional and convection ovens - no hot spots. Convection roast produced the best roasted turkey we've ever had. Just one wish - we would have preferred to have the electronic touch screen controls, but they don't make the 800 series in 27" and we weren't ripping out cabinets. |
I have owned a Bosch 36" range for several years with good results. I wanted the convection although I haven't used it as much as I thought I would. For the most part it has worked well, although it doesn't reach temperature until about 5 minutes after the pre-heat beeper goes off. If the temperature needs to be accurate I check the thermometer I have inside the oven. I actually wanted more stainless steel as well but now am happier with the combination of black and stainless because it's so much easier to clean! One other issue - and I think this is not uncommon with self-cleaning ovens - it doesn't get as clean as I would like after the self-cleaning feature runs. For the price point it has been a great range with few issues and hasn't needed a repair even though it has gotten a pretty good workout in my kitchen. |

Firstly, it means that I have a lot of clothes to wear. I remember myself searching for years for special clothes that would suit me and convey what I like seeing in colorfulness, interest, and soft and pleasant textiles. I didn't always find them, so for me, being a fashion designer is first and foremost my ability to design clothes for myself that will express my own individuality, and of course, to share this with our other customers in Israel and abroad.
Generally, ideas and inspiration come to me usually when I'm in bed at night, or in the shower. At night, when I close my eyes, colors and ideas drift before my eyes and I immediately put them down on paper.
When I arrive in the morning I start putting my imagination to work. One of the things that I love in my business is the speed at which those ideas come to life and get expressed.
I get my inspiration from a variety of different worlds:
Flea markets around the world that I love going to, anywhere I travel to in the world. One thing that excites me is seeing art that was done in the past using given techniques, taking ideas and colors from them, and by using technological means that we've developed, giving them a new and current expression.
Old dolls with special personalities that I collect.
Old pop-up cards and prizes, from a hundred years ago too.
Landscapes and buildings that are architecturally interesting: I usually photograph interesting buildings wherever I go. In this way, I keep these memories alive and combine them with my world, thus immortalizing them and using then in collages and assemblages.
Materials are also a source of inspiration for me: beads, lace, special ribbons, which I like to combine and bring together using my own interpretations.
I feel that I give all those inspirations a new life in the items that I design and they give my world color, interest, excitement and happiness.
Target Audience
I began designing from my own desire to create clothes that I couldn't find for myself. I am happy that my customers can relate to the fashion items that we create, and every day I receive emails from clients around the world that share their worlds with me and that want additional items. Our fashion department today manufactures for a wide variety of customers, ranging from young girls to mature women—each connecting to that place that enables her to feel good about herself and to express herself and her individuality.
The uniqueness of the textiles that I use, other than their accuracy in colorfulness and graphic prints, lies in the fact that they are very thin, pleasant to the touch and travel well. They compliment the female body, expose what should be exposes and hide what should be hidden.
What do you feel is important for the items that you design to express?
Firstly—interest, happiness and colorfulness. It is important to me that they will be original, not something that is found everywhere or that is influenced by any given trend.
The various combinations between items are very important to me. A printed item combined with a mono-colored item creates a harmonious layered look.
I aspire to create the right balance in a collection that will enable women to express themselves and feel good about themselves, to dare to be who they really are, and to express their individuality.
I try to create a language in my designs that is independent of time. I feel that the items I create are non-generational…they make use of images that existed in the past but give them a current interpretation that I always feel is right. In addition, it is most important to me to make sure that each item connects between people.
What is my background?
I have no formal background in fashion studies, I am self-educated and I taught myself and developed techniques over the years. In addition, it is important to me to achieve accuracy and quality in my creations and I therefore work with graduates from the higher-education design schools that contribute their knowledge and techniques, and with their help, I realize my dreams. When they come here I feel that I am breaking the rules that they learned at school for them and I bring them into a world where anything is possible.
Advice for the beginning designer
Always work with a passion for creation, be original and create interest. Go all the way with your truth without fear of what people will say, without fear of the difficulties, but rather see them as a challenge. Gather around you the people that can enrich your world, work in collaboration and know how to differentiate between what is important and what is not, and mainly—stay original and innovative.
Where do you think the fashion world is going and where do you want it to go?
In the past, the fashion world was rigid and predefined. The changes around the world and the technological revolution have enabled the world to open up and there is more expression of individual and different styles. The Internet and blogs have formed a large area for many styles and what in the past was considered extreme is currently considered mainstream.
Because I believe in originality, the more the world opens up, the more I welcome it. I feel that the more place there is for people to express their originality and the more that people are exposed to different styles, there is more interest in the world and that is where I would like the fashion world to continue to develop towards, to emphasize the individuality and personal style of each and every person using unlimited means. We are lucky to live in a world that makes this possible.

Hard to tell specifics on these without being there. First is some sort of holly, second a privet. Hard to tell what kind of privet, but likely glossy privet. Pinch a leaf and hold up to light and if there is a halo around leaf, then glossy. Regardless of variety or species, both are common and pedestrian hedges. Dan |
- Posted by dave_in_nova VA zone 7a (My Page) on Mon, May 3, 10 at 21:21
The first looks like Dwarf Burford holly. The second looks like Ligustrum japonicum. Both are rugged, tough shrubs and can take whatever heat Texas can dish out. Yes they are pedestrian, but with a bit of pruning can look good year-round. |
Dave in nova is calling them the same things I would. |

Thanks for the ID help. Should I be worried about the yellowing on some of the internal leaves of the Ligustrum? Some areas are much more yellow than these particular photos show. |

Pitching wins ballgames, we're always told. You need pitching to win, specifically an all-world ace. A horse. Last week, I looked at some numbers from recent history that suggested maybe it wasn't the case. Maybe four able and healthy bodies go a lot further towards playoff achievement than one generational talent.
It sparked some debate on twitter as the lure of an ace or a lockdown pitching staff endures. It sent me back into the history books, all the way back to the year 2013.
The top scoring team in the American League in 2013 was the Boston Red Sox. The top scoring team in the National League was the St. Louis Cardinals. These two teams won 97 games apiece and maybe also kinda met in the World Series.
Offense matters, too. Offense matters and defense matters and pitching matters. They all matter. Balance matters, too.
Aces are a nice luxury. The St. Louis Cardinals certainly got ace-level performance from Adam Wainwright in 2013. The Red Sox top pitcher in 2013 was…Jon Lester? Clay Buchholz and Koji Uehara both surpassed him in the flavor of WAR derived from runs allowed.
It takes a village, in other words. There is no one magical formula to follow if you want to win the World Series. A team lacking an ace can win, a team with injuries can win too. The top scoring team in baseball doesn't always reach the playoffs but a good offense can support an otherwise lackluster roster.
Even offense comes in many sizes and shapes. The Cardinals don't have a traditional "big bopper" in the middle of their lineup. Their top best hitters combined for 33 home run. Matt Holliday and Matt Carpenter hardly fit the cleanup hitter mould. But they have depth. They have a deep well of talent that is varied and wonderful.
Their bullpen is about to get a little deeper for 2014, as former closer Jason Motte is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and, thanks to Trevor Rosenthal, Motte looks like he'll be in a setup role at the beginning.
Motte was a great part of the 2011 Cardinals championship, a fireballer throwing all manner of cutters and sinkers, each one coming at max effort out of the ear of the former catcher. He told told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he's happy with whichever role the team has for him.
And, because they're the Cardinals, the return of Motte to the bullpen lets them try Carlos Martinez as a starter once again. A key cog in the playoff bullpen, Martinez is starting in the Dominican Winter League and turning heads with his play, just as he did this past fall.
Amazingly, the numbers game in St. Louis might force Martinez back into the bullpen, just as they did with teammate Trevor Rosenthal last spring. It is the absolute best kind of problem to have, the kind of problem that might help alleviate some of the stress a drive to the World Series takes on pitching arms young and old.
It is just such a perfect distillation of The Cardinal Way. They have ten pounds of meat in a five pound bag but will somehow figure out a way to stuff it all inside some really sweet sausages. I dunno, the Cardinals are spoiled for choice. It's starting to get annoying, to be honest.
Important Read of the Day
Buster Olney on PEDs and baseball's complete inaction on the topic. Written in 2006, Buster uses his years on the beat and as a New York Times reporter to paint a damning picture not just of players but of an entire system wilfully turning a blind eye as far back as 1987. Always in season, doubly so during Hall of Fame time.
Breaking new ground
Very interesting: the Boston Red Sox strike a strategic partnership with Korean baseball side Nexen Heroes. It is the first such deal between the Red Sox and any Asian team. Will be interesting to see how the Sox benefit. Korean players don't come with the same fanfare as their Japanese counterparts but recent expansion the KBO might make it a more competitive product in the Asian baseball market.
A PR statement from team president Lee Jang-seok is proud enough to mean anything while still hinting at tangible benefits for the defending World Series champs.
We hope to maintain a mutually beneficial strategic partnership that can build and improve new systems and models through active exchanges."
Active exchanges, you say? New systems and models, you say? Very, very interesting, Mr. Lee. Too bad it wasn't my beloved Doosan Bears reaching such an agreement. Hwighting!
You can go home again
Remember, back in the NationLOLs days, when Jim Riggleman up and quit his job as their manager because he didn't receive a contract extension? That was pretty awesome. It looked like career suicide but still, awesome.
Turns out his career is just fine, thanks. Riggleman spent last season as the triple-A manager for the Cincinnatti Reds and recently interviewed for their vacant bench boss position. Riggleman didn't get it but he'll be back in the dugout in his second season at AAA Louisville.

As organizations virtualize their data centers, information security has had to evolve to support this. The same will be true as data centers evolve to private clouds – security must evolve to support the needs of private cloud infrastructure.
For most organizations, virtualization will provide the foundation and the stepping stone for the evolution to private cloud computing. However, the need for security must not be overlooked or 'bolted on' later during the transition to private cloud computing,
While the fundamental principles of information security remain the same (confidentiality, integrity, access, authenticity and so on), the way organizations provision and deliver security services must change, Whether supporting private cloud computing, public cloud computing, or both, security must become adaptive to support a model where workloads are decoupled from the physical hardware underneath and dynamically allocated to a fabric of computing resources.
In this recent research note for clients, I collaborated with one of my data center colleagues, Tom Bittman, to lay out six necessary attributes of private cloud security infrastructure:
1. Security as a set of on-demand services
Instead of thinking of information security as a collection of siloed products, security needs to evolve to be delivered as a set of services available 'on demand' to protect workloads and information when and where they are needed. As virtualized workloads are provisioned, moved, modified, cloned and retired, the appropriate security policy would be associated with the workload throughout its life cycle.
2. Programmable infrastructure
The security infrastructure which provides these security services must become "programmable" from policy administration and policy decision points – typically using RESTful based APIs. This will enable higher levels of automation enabling information security professionals to focus on managing policies, not programming infrastructure.
3. Policies based on logical attributes
Security policies need to be tied to logical, not physical, attributes. Security must also become context-aware, incorporating more real-time context information at the time a security decision is made to enable faster and more accurate assessments of whether a given action should be allowed or denied.
4. Adaptive trust zones
Security policies based on logical attributes will be used to create logical groups of workloads with similar security requirements and levels of trust which we refer to as "adaptive trust zones". These zones must be capable of providing high-assurance multitenant separation of workloads of different trust levels
5. Separate control plane
Strong separation of duties and concerns between IT operations and security needs to be enforceable within a private cloud infrastructure, which requires that virtualization and private cloud-computing platform suppliers provide the ability to separate security policy formation and the operation of security VMs from management policy formation and the operation of the other data center VMs.
6. 'Federatable' policies and identities
Ideally, private cloud security infrastructure should be able to exchange and share (federate) policies with other physical security infrastructure in the data center, and security controls placed across physical and virtualized infrastructure should be able to intelligently co-operate for workload inspection. Security policies designed to protect workloads on-premises should also be able to be federated to public cloud providers; however, there are currently no established standards for the exchange of security policy information such as firewalling and IPS policies so policy federation of this type will initially be based on proprietary linkages such as VMware's vCloud APIs.
Today's static and siloed security infrastructure trapped within the confines of physical hardware is ill-equipped to satisfy these dynamic requirements, but will evolve to support these attributes over the next five years.
I'll be presenting on this topic next week at Gartner's US Data Center conference in Las Vegas. I hope to see you there in person!

text: Native to Indonesia and southern regions of India, this herb has been used for a long time, for culinary, medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Turmeric is one of the indispensable ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, which is the traditional medical system of India. Now, turmeric is popular in the West too. This is because of the recent researches that highlighted the health benefits of the herb, including its anti-cancer properties. Unlike the regional cuisine of the East that requires turmeric in a wide range of recipes, this herb is not commonly used in some other parts of the world. In such cases, consumption of turmeric tea can be a solution. So, if you want to consume turmeric for its so called health benefits, then, you may opt for turmeric tea. Let us take a look at how to make turmeric tea. Turmeric Tea Before starting with the method of preparing turmeric tea, you must have a fair idea about its health benefits. You might have heard about the Island of Okinawa in Japan, where the average human lifespan is around 81 years. The inhabitants of this island are said to consume considerable amounts of turmeric tea. So, turmeric tea is said to be one of the factors that boost their health. As mentioned above, humans have been using this herb for a vary long and turmeric tea is believed to be one of the best forms of using this herb. Turmeric is primarily an anti-inflammatory agent that is said to be beneficial in treating various diseases. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is believed to the responsible for the medicinal properties of this herb. Consumption of turmeric is found to beneficial for those who suffer from inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, etc. Curcumin is an excellent antioxidant that can decrease the risk of cancer. It is also said to arrest the growth of cancer cells. Being an anti inflammatory as well as an antioxidant, turmeric is also claimed to provide relief to those with rheumatoid arthritis. It is also said to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It has been suggested that turmeric can provide relief from the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Now that you have know more about turmeric tea benefits, let us go through some guidelines about how to make turmeric tea. Turmeric Tea Recipes Simple Turmeric Tea Turmeric tea can be easily prepared with a small amount of turmeric powder and water. Take four cups of water in a pot and boil it. Once the water reaches a full boil, lower the heat and add a teaspoon of ground turmeric. Now, simmer for five to ten minutes, before straining it. You may use a mesh strainer or cheesecloth for this purpose. Before serving, you may add some honey and lemon juice too. But, these are optional and are used to enhance the taste. Turmeric Tea with Milk In order to prepare this tea, you need a cup of organic milk, one teaspoon of sugar or honey and one eighth teaspoon of turmeric powder. All you have to do is to heat the milk on low heat and remove it from heat, as it gets warm. Don't boil the milk that is meant for preparing turmeric tea. Once the milk is removed from heat, add the turmeric powder and combine well before straining it. You may add honey or sugar for sweetening this herbal tea, which is said to be useful for cold, sore throat, muscle pain, etc. Turmeric Ginger Tea Turmeric ginger tea is usually used for relief from gastrointestinal problems, cold, flu, sore throat, etc. It is also said to be good for detoxification. For preparing this tea, you have to boil two cups of water. Once boiled, lower the heat and add half teaspoon each of powdered ginger and turmeric into it. Simmer for ten minutes, before straining the tea. You may serve it with some lemon juice and half tablespoon of maple syrup. Usually, two cups of turmeric tea is taken daily. But, it is always better to consult a qualified medical practitioner and seek his opinion with regard to turmeric tea dosage. If you want it as a treatment for any ailment, then, you should do it as per the instructions of the herbalist only. As in other herbal remedies, moderate use is recommended in case of turmeric tea too. Pregnant and nursing women and those with heart diseases, gallstones, bile duct problems, etc., must avoid this tea.

Sex is wonderful. It's fun and relaxing and energizing and joyful. It's so powerful and expressive. You can say a lot in sex without using any words. It's astonishing. The way you can lose yourself in a sexual experience but at the same time have the clearest sense of your humanity and individuality and self. "Transcendent" is an inapt description of sex, I think, because it's hard to think of a more real experience than really good sex — especially with someone you love.
Thinking about how to describe the profundity of sex calls to mind a scene from Ayn Rand's We the Living in which Kira and her sister are at a play or a movie (It's been a while since I've read it, so I am paraphrasing) and the sister remarks, "It's so beautiful, it almost looks real," to which Kira replies, "It's so beautiful, it almost looks fake." Life is beautiful like that. Sex is beautiful like that.
I assume everyone knows what I mean, so I assume we can all agree that rape is one of the most vile, disgusting, and despicable crimes that can be committed. In a certain sense, I think it's worse than murder because the victim has to deal with the fact that a core part of their humanity has been violated.
Recently, I saw a thread on Facebook in which someone was satirizing — they say and I don't think they grasped the irony — the concept of "rape culture." To be clear, they weren't satirizing rape culture, but the concept of rape culture. When confronted about it, they said it wasn't a useful concept and they treated it with derision and contempt. And it brought to mind a poem I saw very recently that really opened my eyes about what rape culture means.
"Rape Joke" by Patricia Lockwood. I'm not going to excerpt any part of it because I think you should read the whole thing to get what I'm driving at here.
When presented with the reality of rape — or even story lines on Law & Order: SVU — I have always felt outrage and sadness. I am shocked and dismayed by stories where people suggest or even say the victim of rape was "asking for it." I'm sent into a tailspin of anger when someone says that simply because someone has a drink or two with another in their hotel room they can no longer revoke consent to sex until that other is satisfied. When I watched the Sopranos and Tony's therapist was raped, I really wanted her to tell Tony and have her rapist killed.
But I've made jokes about rape before. I've used references to rape in a light-hearted way, as a laughable hyperbole. That's not because I'm a misogynist or because I think rape is in any way acceptable. It was, I think, because on some level rape wasn't real.
That's rape culture.
As I type this post and keep writing the word, it does seem strange and alien. Rape. Raperaperaperape. In Game of Thrones, they call rapists "rapers." And it seems even more strange. I had to re-read and actually sound it out the first time I saw "raper." Rape is a small word and it's sort of like a slap, but only a very small slap. Not a slap that hurts. The sound and shape of it don't even come close to capturing how devastating and terrible the crime is. You'd think the name of it should have more Ss, Ks, Gs, and maybe a Q or something. It should be unpleasant to even see, let alone pronounce. But it's not. It's just "rape."
That's rape culture.
No, logography is not rape culture. Rape culture is this hole in some people's psyche about rape. It's this cognitive dissonance. It's the holding of two contradictory ideas about rape in your head at the same time.
Cops know that rape is terrible bad and wrong. But victims of rape still get asked if they were out drinking or if they were dressing provocatively or if they were flirting with their rapist before it happened.
It's being completely terrified and desperate for Ripley when she is stuck on that prison planet and is nearly raped in Alien 3, but also saying, "I raped it," to describe having done well on an exam or to joke that it raped you if you didn't do well.
It's nodding your head in approval at a Take Back the Night Rally — or maybe even going with your friends to one — but also kind of thinking that if you let him pay for dinner you owe him a handy J at a minimum.
I saw recently a manifestation of rape culture in the form of someone arguing that it's like institutional racism and, in their eyes, white women can't be raped because white women are in a position of power by virtue of their race.
It's knowing you have friends and relatives and coworkers and acquaintances who are victims of rape and sexual assault but also thinking "rape" works well in hyperbole because it's so absurd and rare and unheard of and far from home.
When someone says, "rape," rape culture calls to mind a masked man grabbing a white woman who is out for a jog at 10pm and forcing himself inside her while ignoring the man who had too much to drink and wakes up in someone else's dorm room praying that they used a condom because he doesn't even remember taking his clothes off.
Rape culture is the way our society allows and even makes room for rape in a million little ways like this. Men and women alike contribute to rape culture. The victims of rape are men and women. Rape is far, far too common. And the concept of "rape culture" is coined to express how common rape is and how commonly our society glosses over and trivializes it. Remember: people live with this crime and with a not insignificant number of people suggesting it's not even a crime sometimes.
Yes, there are a million "gray areas;" mitigating and exacerbating circumstances; plausible scenarios; and times when you can't prove that a rape took place. That's why we need to rail against the ways in which our culture allows, condones rape. Rape is a crime and it has to be proven in order to make a conviction, but we can't keep allowing ourselves — people who love life and sex and justice — to be taken in by these she-said-she-said stories. We need to get better as a society, culture.
Some people would argue in a Popperian way that the concept of "rape culture" is invalid because they think rape culture begs the question, arguing against rape culture is a manifestation of rape culture. As illustrated above, I think we can safely come up with a million other examples of rape culture without pointing at those who say rape culture doesn't exist as examples thereof. It's a real thing worthy of discussion.
People often talk about creating a society that is sex-positive; one in which people are free to love their bodies and their partners as they see fit; a society in which the morality of sexual conduct is one of private personal conviction, but one's individual right to one's person receives public defense. But how can that ever really be when our society regards rape — an assault against the joy of sex itself — as joke-worthy?

Does anyone have one of these? Happy with it? It seems to get pretty decent reviews, except I read complaints of noise and/or not enough ice. http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SpecPage&Sku=PFE29PSDSS We just bought a new (to us) house, and it has an older Whirlpool side-by-side, and I just don't like the side by side space. I feel like can't fit much in it. Also considering the KitchenAid version of this refrig, but I just like this GE better. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We've bought the PFE29PSDSS 2 months ago and have been happy with it so far. |
A lot of issues with french door refrigerators (with external dispencers) are really storage issues, in that the bins on french doors might hold 2 -3 pounds of ice. The ice maker may make 10 pounds a day, so unless you use the ice or transfer some to the freezer, it will stop when the bin is full, naturally. |

How to: Tell your users they are not worth your time
If you're a programmer, you're writing programs for your users. You are there performing a service for your users, not the other way around. Here's an excellent way to insult your users by letting them know that they are not worth one minute of your time:
print "Now showing $n item(s)";
The parenthetical (s) as a shorthand for saying "This could be singular or plural and still let me off the hook" is a throwback to times before computers, when people worked on paper forms. It is now unacceptable.
my $s = ($n == 1) ? '' : 's'; print "Now showing $n item$s";
Is it a pain to write that out? Hardly. Maybe a twinge of discomfort at worst. However, to take the shortcut of (s) says that you are so lazy as a programmer that you don't care about the user, and it says that every single time the user sees that message.
8 Comments
The module Lingua::EN::Inflect can help with this. It provides the subroutine PL_N() which takes a word and a quantity and returns the word as a plural when the quantity is not 1, and in singular form when the quantity is 1. E.g. (from the docs):
print "I saw $N ", PL_N('animal',$N), "\n";
Output when $N == 1: I saw 1 animal
Output when $N == 10: I saw 10 animals
It even handles words with irregular plurals like "sheep" or "woman".
I definitely agree with you that the small user experience tweaks are worthwhile and I would never deploy a program without them (well, without the mostly trivial ones).
I have read that Russian has extremely complicated rules for plurals--WKA's advice sounds good in that case.
Or how about this one-liner, which I saw somewhere in perldoc:
printf( "Now showing %d item%s", $x, ( $x > 1 ? 's' : '' ) );
Ambrose: You have match $x == 1, not $x > 1. In the case of $x == 0, you still want the "s".
0 items
1 item
2 items
It's not singular & plural so much as singular & everything else.
Yes, it gets much more complicated when you have to consider localization. :-)
Otherwise, I really like this point. It's good to take that tiny extra time to get the polish that makes the difference between a good program and a great program.
I usually use something like this:
my $items = ($n == 1) ? 'item' : 'items'; print "Now showing $n $items";
It seems to me that the cost of the repeated string is very small, and is outweighed by the improved readability, but maybe the readability gain is minimal too.
I think the improvement is clearer in a case like this:
my $ies = ($n == 1) ? 'y' : 'ies'; print "Now showing $n entr$ies";
Where my version would be:
my $entries = ($n == 1) ? 'entry' : 'entries'; print "Now showing $n $entries";
In general, I like strings to contain whole entities, rather than partial entities whenever, reasonable.
match $x == 1, not $x > 1
Good point. Although thinking about it, isn't "now showing zero items" just another example of the same negative user experience we're trying to avoid?
I did think about it after posting and I think if the number of items found was zero I'd branch to a whole other "no items found, why not try [some other things]?" screen.
Whenever I build a tool for techie users, I simply do not care about these things. They probably won't either. They're using my program because it solves a problem, not because I'm so polite to the user.
When building something for non-techie users, indeed you better pay some attention to this. Although it increases complexity and maintenance overhead, especially if you use localization and/or templating, I still think it's worth it.
The problem can be avoided by formatting differently. "Results: 1" is something you may get away with in certain contexts, and IMHO improves readability anyway, if you have multiple variables and the screen space to lay them out vertically.

How to Choose Gender Pronouns in Ambiguous Situations in the LGBT Community
Figuring out what to call people is hard. Here is help as to what people in the LGBT community like to be called.
1Don't attempt to judge a person's pronoun preference by their gender expression. They may have a feminine expression, but prefer gender neutral pronouns, or a masculine presentation but prefer female pronouns.Ad
2Ask their name. Names sometimes can give away gender, but there's no guarantee. With some names like Alex or Sammy the person could be either gender.
3If you can't figure it out politely ask their pronoun preference.
- It is best to ask someone their pronoun preference in private, rather than public.
4Know that you may mess up. It happens. Correct yourself, apologize, and move on.
5Learn the pronouns:
- He/his/him is for males, She/her/hers is for females (you already know this)
- Ze/Hir/Hirs are gender neutral pronouns that replace he/him/his and she/her/hers.
- The singular "they" can also be used as a gender neutral pronoun, and makes a good filler if you're unsure of what pronouns someone prefers.
6Once you know what a person likes call them by that and make sure to remember!Ad
We could really use your help!
mobile phones?
shoulder holsters?
thinning hair?
fashion and clothing?
- If you mess up apologize and then re state what you said with the right pronoun.
- Be polite. Most trans/gay/androgynous people understand your confusion and appreciate your acceptance so don't be shy if you need to ask for a preference.
- If you call someone by the wrong pronoun they can be offended.

hi i got a cocoa tree from Garden Of Delights last week. when it came it kind of looked sickly with holes in the leaves and some parts of the leafs were cut like a bug or something.and it was droopy. I emailed them and they said that its prolly because of the hail storm or something. When i first got it i sprayed it with Pepper Wax just incase it had any bugs on it before i put it in my GH. but now its even more droopy and the new leaves died and the top part is kind of turning brown..STUPID ME!! will it recover? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need to get the humidity around the plant up to 100% right away and leave it there for a couple of weeks until the plant recovers. Cacao plants have high humidity requirements. You might also check your soil PH. They are acid loving plants as well. The cheapest and simplest way to increase humidity is to build a plastic canopy around the plant. The "best" way is to enclose it in one of those little plastic greenhouses with zipper front and stick an ultrasonic humidifier in with it. This is what I do with any new arrival..especially bare root. It's great for stressed shipped plants. Hottie, have you checked out the Tropical Fruit forum from GardenWeb? You'll find lots of interesting posts related to tropical fruits only. |
- Posted by hottielover14 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 12, 07 at 19:32
i dont know if i can get it to 100% humidity, i have about 50% humidity during the day and about 80 degrees. ive read that they need high humidity but then ive read that they like it but can still grow without high humidity. well i have it in my lil GH that has a plastic canopy around it. yes i have checked them out but didnt see anything relating to my question. |
The problem is that the plant is probably stressed. You can go out and get one of those small ultrasonic humidifiers and stick it in the little GH with the plant. You really need to get the humidity waaaaaay up. Only a well-established plant can do fine on less humidity. Check the PH as well. Stay away from fert. Mist the plant. Without the humidity...... |

yeah but wont I get mold and rust on my GH then because i prolly will have water mist on my GH. ok well the pH is about 6.3..why should i stay away from fert? |
Mold and rust? Maybe. There's always consequences. You've just got to decide which is more important. My humidity is down some in my greenhouse right now. Anywhere from 60-70%. My cacao is doing fine but doesn't seem to have the vigor it did when the humidity was higher...and mine is pretty established. Your PH sounds fine. It is also important to shade your young plant. It can handle some filtered sun later on. I would stay away from fertilizing for a while. It is under stress from shipping and lack of optimum conditions. Here is some info you might find helpful.

thanks ohiojay, that is some really good info. how big is your greenhouse? well i think its too late for my cocoa, i think its pretty much a gonner! :( |
Sorry to hear that. It is a very neat plant and I'm reading where they can start to flower and fruit early on. The foliage is very different from my other tropical fruits. Thin, papery, and large. A very attractive tree. I think you would have enjoyed it. I don't know what zone/region you live in, what all you are trying to grow, and what the conditions you're trying to grow them in. Have you done mail-order tropical fruits before? Most do just fine with some basic care once they arrive. There are many that require going that extra mile to be sure the plant survives and thrives. Most of the tropical fruits require higher levels of humidity, which is tough if being grown indoors. It can be done. I did it for nearly three years before building the greenhouse. Don't get too discouraged if you lose the cacao. Learn from it and try it again. Just be prepared to give the new plant the best chance of survival prior to its arrival. I don't mean for this to be a lecture or anything resembling that so please forgive me if it sounds like it. I've certainly had my share of failures. Am I any smarter for it? That's being debated! But I have been doing real well with new arrivals...even the bare root ones. Humidity humidity humidity!! If you are lucky enough to be in a warmer climate zone, then you could set up a mist system for them. My greenhouse is 21x26. Wish I could have enclosed the entire back yard! Here's a couple of pics. The river birch on the left in the first photo was cut down soon after these pics. It was blocking too much of my evening sun. |

Still is sitting, STILL is sitting,
On the dirty airport floor.
Okay, not the floor, but "sitting" is accurate. So far the delay has been an hour and a half, but the posted ETD is clearly a lie, since the plane that's taking us out hasn't arrived yet. I figure another hour, at the best. I'm not a patient guy, even at the best of times, and this isn't the best of times. But I'll get by. I hope.

We never, ever get out of LaGuardia without trouble. Last time, (2 wks ago) they sent us to Detroit via Manchester, NH. But at least we got to buy a Live Free of Die sweatshirt.

Ha. Today they were busing people from La Guardia to JFK. We ate lunch at the table with a group of them. And then they got word they'd have to cross the tarmac in the rain to get to their plane. So they were unhappy.

Yeah, sorry for the pun. I had to do it.
Last weekend I went to the Nemo Science Museum here in Amsterdam. It is a boat-load of fun. The entire place is geared towards kids, to get them interested in science and to teach them about themselves as growing biological organisms. A lot of parents were there with their children who had free reign to run around to the different exhibits and quirky-fun experiments.
Each floor going up seemed to have a higher 'target audience'. The second floor taught about puberty, while the third taught about how the brain works. There was a great exhibit that gave hands on to a binary code writing system – the basic language of computers.
And there was a giant machine girl that was pretty creepy with her non-working eyelid and stiff gestures… but at least she taught about how the prosthetics industry has helped many disabled and medically impaired people live more normal lives.

Recycled has a whole new meaning for the Perry family.
Their Queen Creek home was built and designed using material from an old Savco truck stop and hotel that stood on the northwest corner of 56th Street and Chandler Boulevard in Chandler.
The two-story, 4,500-square-foot home has a massive structural steel roof and uses large I-beams from the building. The peak of the ceiling is 72 feet high.
Original steel stairs from the truck stop lead up to the second floor, where a catwalk runs between the master bedroom and an office. Beyond the work room is an observation tower for the kids with a steel ladder bolted to the floor and the wall for access.
Complementing the recycled items from the truck stop are antiques and garage sale and consignment store finds. Those include an 1800s barber chair, a Victrola and an antique spinning wheel.
"It is a very cool house," Debbie Perry said. "I'm just so pleased that it's a warm house."
Debbie Perry, 50, lives in the home with her husband Mike, 49, and their two children, 17-year-old Katie and 13-year-old Bryan.
Mike Perry, an architect, said he has always had an interest in adapting a home using materials from an older building.
After coming across the "for sale" sign in front of the truck stop, Perry called the owner and asked if he could buy the building.
After opening the weldedshut doors, the family found 16 hotel rooms filled with furniture and a floor-to-ceiling beehive an exterminator told them was one of the biggest he had ever seen.
The Perrys numbered the beams and columns they wanted to keep and had the building demolished.
The family's dream home is built on a 3 1/3-acre lot that backs up to the San Tan Mountains. The site was chosen for the rural setting and the proximity to Debbie Perry's parents. Ron and Donnis Hunkler live next door in their own design of a pyramid-shaped home.
"We needed this kind of setting for this kind of house," said Mike Perry, an award-winning architect with Whitneybell Architects in Phoenix.
