Islamophobic Bus Ads In San Francisco Are Being Defaced With Kamala Khan. From the article: "Well, this is just brilliant. Racist adverts promoting hatred against Muslims are currently being run on buses in San Francisco - but someone has started covering them up with anti-hatred messages from Marvel's première Muslim superhero, Ms. Marvel."

Naked Scripture Vs. Geopolitical Influence
Berkeley Students Rally To Remove Bill Maher As Commencement Speaker following critical comments about Islam.
"Freedom of speech, freedom to practice any religion you want without fear of violence, freedom to leave a religion, equality for women, equality for minorities, including homosexuals, these are liberal principles that liberals applaud for," Maher said, "but then when you say in the Muslim world this is what's lacking, then they get upset."
In what began as a debate over Islam between Maher, Sam Harris, and Ben Affleck on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, tensions rose. [more inside]

Knowledge as Politics by Other Means: An Interview with Wael Hallaq
Throughout the last three decades, Wael Hallaq has emerged as one of the leading scholars of Islamic law in Western academia. He has made major contributions not only to the study of the theory and practice of Islamic law, but to the development of a methodology through which Islamic scholars have been able to confront challenges facing the Islamic legal tradition. Hallaq is thus uniquely placed to address broader questions concerning the moral and intellectual foundations of competing modern projects. With his most recent work, The Impossible State, Hallaq lays bare the power dynamics and political processes at the root of phenomena that are otherwise often examined purely through the lens of the legal. In this interview, the first of a two-part series with him, Hallaq expands upon some of the implications of those arguments and the challenges they pose for the future of intellectual engagements across various traditions. In particular, he addresses the failure of Western intellectuals to engage with scholars in Islamic societies as well as the intellectual and structural challenges facing Muslim scholars. Hallaq also critiques the underlying hegemonic project of Western liberalism and the uncritical adoption of it by some Muslim thinkers. [more inside]
Open defecation solves the child mortality puzzle among Indian Muslims
"Hindus are, on average, richer and more educated than Muslims. But oddly, the child mortality rate for Hindus is much higher. All observable factors say Hindus should fare better, but they don't. Economists refer to this as the Muslim mortality puzzle. In a new study, researchers believe that they may have found a solution to the puzzle. And, surprisingly, the solution lies in a single factor – open defecation." [more inside]
"Do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction."
The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment has issued a fatwa banning Muslims from participating in a Mars colonization effort, citing pervasive risk for no "righteous reason." The Mars One project (previously) has penned a remarkably erudite reply.
Enigma popstar is fun / She wear burqa for fashion
A new Lady Gaga song called Burqa has leaked online. Its production is pretty interesting. Its lyrics are... controversial, to say the least. "Lady Gaga bas a burqa problem," writes Jezebel. "You can't just ornament yourself in other cultures (especially not if those cultures are specifically targeted for violence and harassment in your home country)." Other criticisms abound on The Atlantic and Autostraddle. A blog called Racist Little Monsters has popped up to collect pictures of fans posing in self-made burqas [warning: nsfw language abounds]

A Lost Map On The Tramway In Istanbul
In Turkey, there lives a mysterious minority known as the "secret Armenians." They have been hiding in the open for nearly a century. Outwardly, they are Turks or Kurds, but the secret Armenians are actually descendants of the survivors of the 1915 Genocide, who stayed behind in Eastern Anatolia after forcibly converting to Islam. Some are now devout Muslims, others are Alevis –generally considered an offshoot of Shia Islam, even though that would be an inaccurate description by some accounts–, and a few secretly remain Christian, especially in the area of Sassoun, where still there are mountain villages with secret Armenian populations. Even though Armenian Gypsies wouldn't strictly qualify as Secret Armenians, they share many traits with the latter, including reluctance or fear to reveal their identity even to fellow Armenians.[more inside]

Warning: May Contain Learning
All-American Muslim is a reality show on TLC which takes a look at life in Dearborn, Michigan--home to the largest mosque in the United States--through the lens of five Muslim American families. The participants are depicted dealing with lives far more familiar than extreme.
But some are unhappy with the very existence of the series. Citing pressure from far-right wing groups, the home improvement chain Lowe's has pulled its advertising from the show. Online, boycotts of the store, and other methods of protest, are multiplying. Meanwhile the controversy has put the show, as well as the little known group that takes credit for the Lowes advertising pull (the Florida Family Association), on the national media map.
"I felt like I'd been catapulted from one end of the universe to the other"
This weekend marks the time of the Hajj, a core pillar of Islam in which great tides of humanity venture to the ancient city of Mecca to honor God.
Predating Mohammed's birth by centuries, the pilgrimage comprises several days of rites, from congregation like snow on Mount Arafat and the ritual stoning of Shaitan to the circling of the sacred Kaaba (the shrouded cubical monolith Muslims pray toward daily) and kissing the Black Stone (colored by the absorption of myriad sins, and believed by some to be a fallen meteorite).
While the city has modernized to handle this largest of annual gatherings -- building highway-scale ramps, gaudy skyscrapers for the ultra-rich, and tent cities the size of Seattle -- it remains mysterious, as unbelievers are forbidden from entering its borders.
Richard Francis Burton became famous for touring the city in disguise to write a rare travelogue, but contemporary viewers have a more immediate guide: Vice Magazine journalist Suroosh Alvi, who smuggled a minicam into the city to record The Mecca Diaries [alt], a 14-minute documentary of his own Hajj journey.

Truth No Defense against Danish Hate Speech Law
A Danish court rules that truth is not a defense to its hate speech law and fines Member of Parliament Jesper Langballe $1,000 for commenting that "Of course Lars Hedegaard [President of the Danish Free Press Society] should not have said that there are Muslim fathers who rape their daughters when the truth appears to be that they make do with killing their daughters (the so-called honour killings) and leave it to their uncles to rape them." Hedegaard had tried to explain that he was speaking in the context of an epidemic of honor violence within Muslim families when he said "They rape their own children"; he faces his own set of charges.

Malaysian Catholic newspaper Herald was recently involved in a major lawsuit against the Malaysian government, stating that their constitutional rights were violated when they were stripped of their license to publish in East Malaysian indigenous language Kadazandusun. The ruling was overturned, amidst support by state ministers and protests by the Government, the Islamic Opposition party, and Muslim activists - some of whom have spent the past week attacking churches and convents through firebombs, Molotov cocktails, paint, and bricks thrown at glass.

21st Century Interfaith Pioneer
The Interfaith Youth Core was started in 1998 by a group led by Rhodes Scholar Eboo Patel.

His story is detailed in his acclaimed autobiography, Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation. He keeps a blog at the Washington Post, and is a fellow at the Ashoka Foundation.

Spotted by Russell Simmons for Def Poetry Jam, she has performed pieces about love in the time of war, exoticising beauty, and a touching ode to her father, among many others. Suheir has just produced and released her first feature film Salt of This Sea, up for the Cannes Films Festival and possibly an Oscar, and recently performed in Ramallah for the 2009 Palestinian Festival of Literature.
When Gravity Fails
Editor Marty Halpern looks back at the career of George Alec Effinger (part 1, part 2, part 3), a prolific author best known for his work set in the Budayeen, a walled city in a future Islamic state, teeming with gangsters, hustlers and transsexual prostitutes, many of them habitual users of plug in personality modules. The noirish tone and exotic technology of the Marîd Audran books (When Gravity Fails, A Fire In The Sun, The Exile Kiss) made Effinger one of the leading lights in the cyberpunk movie, and spawned a videogame - a rare attempt at a graphical adventure from Infocom - and an RPG setting. Sadly Effinger faded from prominence after that, and he suffered from a number of health and financial setbacks before passing away in 2002. His work has had somewhat of a resurgence in popularity of late, with the Marîd Audran books coming back into print in 2007, a long with a collection containing The Wolves of Memory, Effinger's personal favourite amongst his novels.
Rebooting the US relationship to the Muslim world.
Obama speaks in Cairo: "I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world." Text is here. He quoted the Koran and highlighted a subject he avoided during his campaign - his own family's ties to Islam, his youth in Muslim Indonesia and even Chicago's Nation of Islam.

"Let them arrest me". Vehemently anti-Islamic Dutch MP Geert Wilders was scheduled to travel to London tomorrow to attend a screening of his controversial short film Fitna (wiki, mefi). Yesterday however, the UK's Home Secretary notified Wilders that his presence in the UK would pose a "serious threat to [...] public security" (PDF), presumably intending to refuse his entry into UK. Wilders plans to board the flight anyway, daring British authorities to arrest him. [more inside]

Heavy Metal Muslims
An article by Johann Hari (a remarkable columnist) in today's Independent about the substantial Heavy Metal movement in the Muslim world inserted a flicker of hope into my normally gloomy outlook on the current situation.
I know that in my youth I used Heavy Metal (old school) as a hammer to tell my parents, my teachers and the world in general that I was different from them and did not accept their rules, judgements and values.
If that is happening in Tehran, Morocco, Egypt and Pakistan then I'm with the kids.

There's no laugh track, al hamdu lillah!!!
CBC Television's sitcom Little House on the Mosque, starring Carlo Rota of 24, has been mentioned before on the blue and grey. Reviews have actually been pretty positive, the ratings have been good, and now you can decide for yourself whether the "brou-ha-ha" was worth it (all 8 episodes linked inside). Don't think a sitcom can possibly capture Muslim life accurately? Well, maybe Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days can do a better job for you. It's pretty fascinating viewing, either way. [more inside]
Yeh Hum Naheen
We have lost on the way the lesson of living together,
We are now even scared of each other.
They are others whose faces are on your hands,
Your hurts are a deep sea -- our wounds are deep.
The stories that are being spread in our names are lies,
This is not us.
Words of a Pakistani pop song Yeh Hum Naheen [This is not us] hitting the charts, attempting to spread the message that all muslims are not terrorists, story via Salon.
"Produced and written by a British Muslim, Waseem Mahmood, at the request of his two sons, "Yeh Hum Naheen" offers a welcome counterpoint to the images of troops storming the Red Mosque, or fundamentalist mullahs preaching jihad. But the key to the song's success lies neither in its production values or deft depictions of average Pakistanis going about their daily lives, but in its heartfelt expression of pain. "
Confessions of a former jihadist
I was a fanatic...I know their thinking. If a British former muslim jihadist is to be believed, "the engine of [their] violence" is not western foreign policy, but certain fundamental tenets of islamic theology. Hassan Butt's previous MeFi appearance was two years ago (before he left the jihadist network in February 2006). Also, a video and transcript of a 60 Minutes interview.
US Muslims more peaceful than their fellow citizens?
Surprising findings in Pew study of US Muslims. The interweb is all atwitter over some of the findings of a Pew Research Center study of the attitudes of Muslim-Americans (the most comprehensive one done yet). While most of the findings should be welcomed (US Muslims are well off, appreciate being here, have non-Muslim friends, shun extremism, etc.), there is one troubling statistic: 6% of US Muslims - and 15% of US Muslims under 30 - believe that "bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians" are "often or sometimes justified". Sounds bad, but what happens when you ask the same question of non-Muslim Americans? Turns out that 24% of all Americans agreed - four times the 6% of US Muslims who share that view. So are US Muslims more peaceful than their non-Muslim neighbors?
Doing our homework on the Middle East
22 basic suggested readings on the Middle East from history professor and informed commenter on Middle Eastern affairs Juan Cole.
The Wisdom of Solomon
Wake County, NC: Solomon Kamil invited to speak at a public school in Raleigh tells the students to shun Muslims "You may be excited that you found the 'tall, dark, and handsome man' you have been looking for. His sweet words and attention may blind you regarding the power, importance, and influence of his culture and Islamic faith."

Father Abraham
"A Christian man is weak compared to a Muslim man." Violence and war between Christians, Muslims, and Jews is a long-standing fact of life. Even St. Francis joining the Fifth Crusade as a peacemaker, would not change the course of history. "He was repulsed by the sacrilegious brutality of the Crusaders." Stories of personal persecution abound. However, there are also some small glimmers of hope and understanding that don't get much notice. Although such efforts are just specks in a sandstorm, maybe they are a start.

The Muslim Brotherhood
The Muslim Brotherhood The Muslim Brotherhood
Are they Islam's version of the KKK or something much different? According to Robert Baer's books on his experiences as a CIA agent in the middle east, the followers of the brotherhood are the one's really responsible for the Lockerbie 747 terrorist attack, attacks against the embassies in Lebanon and Kenya, and very possibly 9-11. What is the history of the brotherhood and why have they been overlooked for so long? Britain seems to be taking an interest in them lately, what do they know that the U.S. refuses to acknowledge? Funded by the Saudis, supported by Iran, supporters of Hamas; by going after Al-Qaeda is the west on a wild goose chase that may end up with their own defeat? And finally, is this part of a secret war that Iran has waged against the U.S. since the embassy takeover after the Shah was forced to leave back in the late 1970's? And finally, what does the Muslim Brotherhood have to say about all this?

James Yee - An American In Chains
My cell was 8 ft by 6 ft, the same size as the detainees' cages at Guantanamo. It was my turn to be humiliated every time I was taken to have a shower. Naked, I had to run my hands through my hair to show that I was not concealing a weapon in it. Then mouth open, tongue up, down, nothing inside. Right arm up, nothing in my armpit. Left arm up. Lift the right testicle, nothing hidden. Lift the left. Turn around, bend over, spread your buttocks, knowing a camera was displaying my naked image as male and female guards watched. It didn't matter that I was an army captain, a graduate of West Point, the elite US military academy. It didn't matter that my religious beliefs prohibited me from being fully naked in front of strangers. It didn't matter that I hadn't been charged with a crime. It didn't matter that my wife and daughter had no idea where I was. And it certainly didn't matter that I was a loyal American citizen and, above all, innocent... I knew why I had been arrested: it was because I am a Muslim.

Cola ChickenWhen I saw this recipe I wasn't too sure but liked the simplicity of it. Added some cayenne pepper, garlic and onion powders and it was amazing! Will definitely make it again. Even my very picky husband thought it was great! — 8/22/2011 |
Foil-Pack Chicken and Broccoli Dinner (15)With all the positive reviews I couldn't wait to make this recipe. Not sure why mine turned out the way it did but it was flavorless. If I make it again I'll have to add a bunch of seasonings to give it more flavor. — TheFrenchKitchen 7/27/2011 |
Skewered Honey-Balsamic ChickenThis recipe was awesome! I used 1 1/2 tbs red wine vinegar and 1/2 tbs roasted garlic rice vinegar because I didn't have balsamic and both my husband and I loved it! Can't wait to make this again! I also cut the pepper down to 1/2 tsp and that worked really well. Also took the tip of the brown sugar in the marinade - very yummy. — ellie36 4/14/2011 |
Tater Tot and Hamburger CasseroleMade this the other night and it turned out great!. The only things I did differently were adding half the cheese and a little bit of freshly ground black pepper on top and it turned out perfectly. My super picky husband said he was surprised that something so basic could taste so good! — 4/13/2011 |
Enchilada CasseroleAs I made this for just my husband and myself I cut the recipe in half... though twice the cheese! It tasted delicious and I will definitely make this again - maybe next time adding the sour cream as some others have suggested. Thanks for a great, quick and easy recipe! — RKBCooks 1/30/2011 |
Cheesy Chicken and Rice BakeI made this with frozen corn and the chicken, corn and cheese were excellent - unfortunately the rice was hard which is why I only gave it three stars. And I ended up having to cook it for an hour so that the chicken wasn't raw inside. I'll make it again but I think I'll have to use some other method to cook the rice, or maybe add some more moisture and allow it to cook longer. — nicks3l 1/30/2011 |

Love this gorgeous fuschia color for Fall. You can't really mess up with YSL lip products. The salesgirl suggested that I put the re-plumping concentrate first for optimal look. Love it.
i completely agree with the review below me! i have medium pigmented lips and typically the color of a lipstick looks completely different once applied onto my lips then in the tube. BUT this is amazing! color stayed true from tube to lips with one application - i didn't have to keep applying the product to get the color i wanted. the perfect fuchsia color i've been looking for. a-m-a-z-i-n-g...plus it has spf 15 :) can't wait to try the other colors!
edit: oops...this review was supposed to be for the number 7, which is also a bright fuchsia :)
I love this lipstick, the color goes very well with my skintone, Im NC25 and my face looks stunning with this. Also, the formula is very good, i have pigmented lips but this one goes as a thin coat but still opaque on my lips. The texture is sheer and so moisturizing so its like a long lasting tinted lip balm but soooo much better. I will buy all the other color later when I get a chance since I love the texture.

More reviews by melysaretsahana
it made me burst of laugh when i wore it.this is very shocking fuschia and looks funny on my lips.but the ingredients feel so luxury and it smells very very soft fragrant(almost no fragrance), i don't know whether it has a fragrance scent or not.i love the packaging,comes with gold place and very lightweight,sleek and fancy,except the gold sticker on the bottom,looks dirt cheap.but the color is very freaky.i tried this one because my mum bought it.the price is average as branded stuff but i prefer DIORRRR as a premium brand make up...!!!!
I feel completely comfortable declaring this as the most perfect lipstick of all time- it dries semi-matte with just a subtle shine, stays put for over eight hours (even with drinking and eating), the texture is satiny but very opaque- the color is highly saturated, and it does not have so much moisture that it sinks into fine lines like the new pur couture line. The first thing I noticed when I tried it on at the YSL counter was that it made my lips look larger and most lipsticks have a tendency to do the opposite. I am a huge fan of this lipstick- I definitely understand why it has been around since the 70's- it is a classic YSL shade. If you have red hair, blue or green eyes, and pale skin you must purchase because it is so striking. This lipstick is worth every penny. It does have a very cool, fuchsia undertone (it is not a bright hot pink fuchsia) and does not highlight yellow in my teeth. I wear it almost every day of the week and have not been able to find a lipstick that lives up to it. Perfection.

while i can't give a low rating in any of the available categories, i may go as far as saying that where my own stash is concerned, i hate and avoid this color.
i have full pouty (pillowy?) lips, and i canNOT get this to apply precisely. i am no klutz. i have tried all sorts of lipliners and using this lipstick on different angles. still, i always look like a clown. something about the shape of the lipstick combined with the great pigmentation and texture, and i look like a kid that got into mom's makeup... every time.
i have highly pigmented mac lipsticks and recommend them. but as far as ysl goes, i prefer to stick with the nudes. for the brights, the rouge voluptes work better for me, though still not my fav's.
This lipstick is a perfect fuschia color.. texture is smooth and soft.
It lasts for a good 6 hours and then melds with your lips to get a great fuschia tinted lip like having eaten a pile of berries.
I bought this two years ago and use it every spring and summer with great joy. I will repurchase this glady.
A lovely, perfect shade of fuschia. Makes my teeth seem whiter too! Lovely creamy texture that lasts well without drying. Smart packaging, nice smell (not overpowering) and a reasonable price for what you get.
As the reviewer below has commented this shade looks amazing with just a good base, a touch of blusher and black mascara. I think this is a fresh and pretty look that has just enough funkiness. And not at all eighties...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is not a review on this specific color per se, but rather, on YSL lipstick in general. (Seems rather silly to me to have individual reviews on different lip COLORS.) Anyway, I want to say that YSL seems to have the BEST quality of lipsticks that I've ever used. It has that perfect combination of being moist without being so slippery that it wears-ff. It goes on "thick" and rich without looking dull or cakey. I also use NARS lipsticks, but consider YSL to be my "indulgent" lipsticks.
This is a beautiful fuchsia (purply-pink) with slight iridescence. Very bright, 80s, clubbing kind of shade that is at the same time pretty and wearable. Lovely formula, definite scent that I happen to like but may be too much for those sensitive to such things. Great stay-power, this fades to a really nice stain.

Tanker spills drilling wastewater in Pa. creek
JERSEY SHORE, Pa. (AP) — A tanker carrying 4,600 gallons of fracking wastewater has spilled its load near a storm drain that empties into Pine Creek, a popular fishing spot in Pennsylvania's Lycoming County.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says the truck spilled treated wastewater on State Route 44 in Watson Township on Wednesday afternoon. DEP says it's not clear how many gallons have spilled. The agency has sampled various spots on Pine Creek and says it has not detected any harm to fish.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is the technique used by drillers to tap into deep reserves of natural gas. Each fracked well can produce millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater.

Ordered this rug as a country style accent. Looks great but a bit brighter and with more reds than you see in the picture, but still OK.
This is a very pretty little rug which goes perfectly under my kitchen table. My dog already had a small accident with his dinner (about two days after I put it down) and it cleaned up very easily. The colors in the rug are very clean and clear. I love it. It arrived faster than promised.
I just love the 2 rugs I bought. The bright colors are wonderful. I ordered 2 different colors. One for my kitchen and one that is under the dining room table. Everyone that come in raves about the colors.
This rug transformed my entire living room. I had an older rectangle rug in there and once I got the newer, brighter oval rug, it just tied the entire living room together. I have a hearth, and my furnishings are more farmhouse/country so this rug was just the right touch. It was lighter than I thought so I had no trouble getting it out of the box and under the furniture. Instant improvement!
I absolutely love this braided rug! It looks amazing in my living room underneath my pallet coffee table.
Love the colors. Very vibrant. And the texture is softer than I expected.
This rug was mismatched in many places, and very quickly faded and got dirty with every day use. We tried flipping it over but the back was just as bad. It looked very old when we'd only had it a few days....and all it did was sit under a table. It wasn't even as if we had walked on it much!
Beautiful rug. Stitching could have held up a little better. Overall for the price, its worth having to fix on occasion.
Great product....adds a country classic look to room...easy clean..need to secure to floor
This added so much to my country d�cor kitchen. Warmth, color and under foot comfort.

Making your own Shanghai street sign
At my recent engagement party we had designed some personalised Shanghai street signs! A lot of people asked me how to make one, so I thought I'd provide a tutorial.
If you're not familiar with Shanghai street signs, this is how modern signs look! You'll still find older green signs around Shanghai, but all signs in central Shanghai use the new format.
My first step was to recreate the shapes, colors and fonts in Illustrator. If you don't have Illustrator you can download a 30 day trial version from Adobe as part of Creative Cloud.
You can download my completed Illustrator AI file here.
For fonts I'm using 黑体-简 for the Chinese text and Helvetica for the English text. You can substitute similar fonts if you don't have those on your computer.
It's best to convert text to outlines before sending to a printer - you can do that in Type > Create Outlines.
Next, I contacted a printer: I can recommend PicJoy in Shanghai - you can email them on print at picjoy.com. For 2 copies on A2 sized foam board, 1 side printing, matt lamination, they quoted me just 50 RMB.
In 1-3 days you should receive your street signs! You can easily cut them out of the board using an Exacta knife and a ruler.
If you make your own Shanghai street sign, do send us a picture!
Helping Local Entrepreneurs
LeiPing, originally from Sichuan, has been successfully running her own business as a masseuse and skincare specialist here in Shanghai for over 8 years.
How can we help small-size entrepreneurs in a way that enables them and their business to reach out to new markets?
We took a short break from our usual work and designed a brochure and business card for Lei Ping. This allows her to build her brand, and find new clients, Chinese and foreign alike.
It was good to step out of our daily routine and design for print for a day. Now, back to apps!
If you want to schedule an appointment, please contact Lei Ping at 136 3632 6672, or connect with her on WeChat (Jessicaleiping).
One small catch, she only treats women.
¡Tweetfeet no es Fácil!
Han visto este espectacular comercial de Carozzi?
¡Sí, ese teclado es real! y ReignDesign, tu empresa favorita en la creación de aplicaciones móviles, desarrolló las versiones móviles de TweetFeet.
!Es tiempo de terminar con el sedentarismo! Párate y twitea con tus pies.
La entretenida idea de escribir un tweet con los pies viene de la agencia BBDO. El teclado gigante usado en el comercial, como la interacción y back-end del proyecto fue realizado por MZZO. Juntos creamos esta nueva forma de Twittear.
Una vez que descargues TweetFeet, comienza a moverte y deja que tus pies escriban. Rotando tu teléfono te permitirá ver varias letras y símbolos. Una vez encontrada la letra correcta, haz una patada en el aire. Luego de escribir tu mensaje, hace un ¨shake¨ con tu teléfono y postea en Twitter o Facebook.
¿Buen entrenamiento, no? Tweetfeet es entretenido de usar, pero probablemente no reemplace una hora en el gimnasio a no ser que que tengas mucho que Twitear. La aplicación está disponible en Google Play y en la App Store.
Tweetfeet is No Easy Feat!
Have you seen this amazing commercial from Carozzi, the Chilean pasta company?
Yes, that's a real keyboard! And ReignDesign, your favorite app company, developed the mobile versions of Tweetfeet.
It's time to stop being sedentary! Get up and Tweet with your feet!
The novel idea of typing with your feet came from the ad agency, BBDO. The keyboard used in the commercial as well as the backend work was developed by MZZO. Together we have created a keyboard that's designed for writing, posting, and tweeting with your feet.
Once you've downloaded Tweetfeet, start walking and let your feet do the typing. Turning your phone will allow you to see various letters and symbols. Once you find the correct letter, kick your leg into the air. After you have type-kicked your message, shake your phone to post to Twitter or Facebook.
Great workout, right? Tweetfeet is fun to use, but it probably won't replace an hour at the gym unless you have a lot to Tweet about. The app is now available on Google Play and the App Store.
Not Your Usual Angel Investor: Supporting Prostate Cancer Research for Movember
The gents at ReignDesign have been doing their bit during the month formerly known as November, by growing moustaches and raising money for men's health charity as part of Movember!
Our chosen charity is Prostate Cancer UK, who support world-class research into prostate cancer, and also spread awareness of the disease and provide support for sufferers.
Here we are at the start of the month, clean-shaved in our group photo!
The other team members pledged money if Matt would come to work in an angel costume. So he did!
We also teamed up with our friends at Kakadu Shanghai! We organised two barbecues and a scavenger hunt around Shanghai, with the proceeds going to charity.
And here are the guys at the end of the month, sporting a dashing variety of moustaches.
While we had a lot of fun over the month, there's a serious message here. Men can often be too embarrassed to talk about their health problems or ignore symptoms. So it's important we get the message out that it's OK to discuss things like prostate cancer, and to see your doctor if you're worried about anything!
By the 30th Movember, we raised an amazing 1,267 USD for Prostate Cancer! If you'd like to donate, you can still donate via Matt's JustGiving page.

Yes, it's time for that metaphor again. If you grew up near a TV during the 1960s or '70s, you probably remember the ever-burning Yule Log that took the place of programming for a large portion of Christmas Day. The fire burned, it seemed, perpetually, never appearing to consume the log, never dimming, and never, as best the kid who stared at the television could tell, ever repeating.

Imagine a Nuclear-Free California (It's Already Here) |
By: Gregg Levine Friday April 27, 2012 11:05 am |
California has two nuclear power plants. San Onofre, between Los Angeles and San Diego, has been offline for months as everyone tries to find an excuse for the alarmingly rapid wear on new reactor tubing. (Being shut down, however, did not prevent a fire from breaking out this week when a pipe ruptured and released radioactive steam.)
But as of Thursday, Diablo Canyon, the nuclear plant to the north, is also offline–thanks to. . . uh, salp?
San Onofre: One Leaks, the Other Doesn't… Yet |
By: Gregg Levine Friday February 3, 2012 2:29 pm |
For those who thought that, with the new year, nuclear power had turned a page and put its "annus horribilis" behind it–as if the calendar were somehow the friend America's aging reactors–let's take a quick look at January 2012.

This white paper provides some insight into the process for safely implementing Foundation fieldbus in an area of your facility that has a hazardous classification.
06/14/2007Guidelines for Proper Filtration and Delivery of Samples to On-Line Process Analyzers
Contaminants in plant samples are the most frequent cause of problems with on-line analyzers. Trace contaminants can rapidly build up and cause instrument failure. It's critical that a filter specifically designed for sampling applications be used rather than a general purpose filter. Read guidelines to ensure proper filtration and sample delivery to on-line analyzers in this white paper.
09/23/2013Avoid Instrument Failure: Ensure Proper Filtration and Delivery of Samples to On Line Process Analyzers
Precise process control strategies have accelerated the use of on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Contaminants in plant samples are the most frequent cause of problems with on-line analyzers. Trace contaminants can rapidly build up and cause instrument failure.

02/25/2008Developing Operating Procedures For Projects Involving Multiple Organizations Using a Linear Responsibility Chart
One of the difficulties of managing projects that involve several (perhaps many) organizations is that the group has no pre-established procedures for handling actions that cross organizational boundaries. This white paper by Project Success Incorporated discusses the development of a procedures manual.

10/05/2005Successful Process Communications Best Kept Secret
Sure, the process engineer is proud of his HMI (human machine interface) and the operations manager is pleased with his KPI (key performance indicators) dashboard and how effectively the system is running with the implementation of his new MES/MIS solution. The historian and analytic solution get all the credit when a field equipment crisis is averted. Does anyone ever think to thank the lowly driver? Without data, the HMI is just a pretty picture, and the best analytics in the world are only ideas without any basis in fact. Plus, tens or hundreds of thousand dollars are spent on that, while the driver budget isn't even a line item on the spec sheet. The communication arteries and veins reach out to all areas of the field equipment, sending and receiving data, efficiently and tirelessly ensuring the ability to acquire, analyze and adapt to the situations at hand.
02/10/2009Raising Confidence and Driving Business Value with Product and REACH Compliance
Over the past 10 years, manufacturers have faced an increasing number of compliance and product quality challenges, ranging from new regulations to product recalls. This White Paper details the business case for an integrated and comprehensive view of product and REACH compliance processes. If "done right," it is expected that these improvements to the compliance process can not only provide time and cost savings but also open doors to new markets, lower risks associated with complex supply chains, protect the reputation of the brand, and create a foundation for environmental sustainability.

So I have a Brewers Best equipment kit and the ingredients to make a lighter beer (budweiser type) (brew store guys recipe and directions). Where I find myself right now is simply lost. I read the instructions that came with my kit (dont seem to apply to me) and the instructions he printed out and gave me. But I'm so new that I dont know where my bottle opener is. I'm confused about the two extracts on my list (seem the same to me) one is in a plastic bag and the other in a plastic container. I think I'm looking for some simple directions and some hand holding. Any help would be great as I would like to start my first batch asap. Thanks Recipe Ingredients: 1oz Spalt Pellet Hops Alpha Acid 2.6% 7g Brewing Yeast 1 lb Briess Dried Malt Extract Golden Light 3.3 lb Pure Malt Extract non-diastatic unhopped Pilsen Light 5 oz Priming Sugar Directions: Add to cold water to fill pot 1/2 full. Bring wort to a boil and add DME & 1st spalt hops (1/2 oz 60 min) Boil 30 min and add 2nd spalt hops (1/4 oz 30 min). Boil 25 min and add remaining spalt hops (1/4 oz 5min) Total boil is 60 min. Chill & place in fermenter and add cool water to make 5-1/2 gallons. Pitch yeast. Take hydrometer reading. Aerate very well. Ferment at room temp 1 week then rack to a secondary.

If you feel you want to dive into this and do it today, read this first. Detailed crash course:How to Brew - By John Palmer - Brew Day I would recommend you wait until next weekend to brew your first batch without a veteran present to help. I brewed my first batch by myself and it went very well because I spent about 20 hours reading the first section of John Palmers book: How to Brew - By John Palmer As well as reading numerous posts on this website.
'Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery' Thinking about: California Common, Fat Squirrel Clone Fermenting: Greenbelt Pale Ale Conditioning: Aging: Strong Scotch Ale, Robust Porter Drinking: Saison
You chose a tough beer to brew for your first batch! Do yourself a favor and buy the book "How to Brew" by John Palmer, or review sections 1 and 2 of the old online version at How to Brew - By John Palmer - Introduction . That should clear things up. Good luck, and happy brewing!
I'll second reading how to brew 100 times, that really helped me make pull the trigger with no problems. You call also search youtube, there are all kinds of videos on how to brew.
When you get a nice rolling boil set a timer @60mins. Throw in 1/2 oz of your hops Then add your Liquid extract(Take off burner before adding to avoid burning on the bottom of pot then return to hot burner) then add dried extract while stirring a lil at a time. At 30 mins add 1/4 oz of hops, the same @ 25 mins. At the end of 60mins take off the stove. Then cover kettle and give an ice bath til temp drops. down to about 80 F then dump your wort into your bucket and top off with reg water, stir very well to aerate(a good 5mins or so) then pitch yeast

Well honestly they don't get much simpler than that... You have 3.3 pounds liquid extract (in the container) and a pound of dry. How big is your Pot? I'm gonna alter your recipe a bit to give you the best beer possible. If it's 5 gallons or so fill it with approximately 2.5 gallons of water. Bring to boil... When it's boiling ..add the dried malt extract (the powder) it will clump up in the steam so take the pot of the flame when you do it and stir it til smooth(ish) It may not seem like it but it will smooth out eventully...put it back on the stove When it hits boil again start a timer countown from 1 hour and add the 1/2 ounce of hops. after 30 minutes add the 1/4 ounce of hops Wit 15 minutes add the liquid extract (in the plastic container) actually sitting it in a pot of warm water will help loosen it up a bit. Pour it in and stir. At 5 minutes remaining add the last amount of hops. WHen the buzzer goes off cool the pot in an ice bath til it gets down to between 60 and 70 degrees (the lower the better) When you hit that you can add it to your SANITIZED fermenter (the bucket with the lid and no spigot), then you top it off to 5 1/2 gallons of cold water (your taps fine for now). Stir it vigorously, (5 or more minutes) Then draw off a sample into your testube if you have one and stick the hydrometer in it, and set it aside for a bit. Sanitize the bucket lid and close up the fermenter and shake shake shake for a but...then open it up and add your yeast. Re seal it put some water in the airlock and stick it in the hole in the lid and put your bucket in a closet.... Ignore the part about 1 week and secondary....leave it alone for at least 2-3 weeks (I leave my beers alone for a month then bottle) Stick you thermometer in the sample and note the temp... Look at your hydrometer and look for the number on the scale, look for where the line is... If your temp is greater than 60 degrees add 1 point for every 10 degrees...that number is your ORIGINAL GRAVITY..Write it down somewhere on your sheat...it should say what your OG should be... While you are waiting read How to Brew - By John Palmer That's pretty much it.. until bottling...

OH, I love it, I agree,the lettering is so nice and neat:) |
Thanks! I typed out the letters on the computer and enlarged them. I printed them and then taped the paper to the backside of the window. I then used a small brush to paint directly on the window. I used a razor blade to scrape off imperfections. It was really pretty easy. |

Foxxy's window reminded me of this project I made for my girls for Christmas. It's an old basement screen and I cut out felt pieces (mostly wool..some regular felt) and stitched them to the screen. Turned out pretty cool. A friend and I had seen this done in a quilt shop. So I just made up a pattern from a pillow pattern that I had. Jeanne S. |

Love both of those windows. I can't take credit for mine - my wonderful sister 'thought' I might like this when she saw it at GW for $3.00 and picked it up - it got a place of honor between my kitchen/dining area and my family room. I just LOVE it - it was painted with the idea of putting pictures in the clear spots but I like it plain - I want to get a couple more to go on either side..... Lynne |

Foxy, I love your window, you did a wonderful job on painting the letters. The snowman on the screen is really cute too, Jeannespines. I've not seen that done before. Very clever. And Lynne, what a great find. Love the flowers and butterflies painted on it too. Luvs |
Great job, Foxxy. Would you mind sharing what font you used? Thanks, Janet |

Red Dog Odds
Red Dog is not a game that you find in every casino, but it has become readily available online. In Red Dog the player either gets dealt a three-card match which pays 11 to 1, or they are dealt a hand where there is a spread between the cards. The size of the spread between the cards will determine what the payout odds will be for hitting a card in between the two cards that you have been dealt.
For a one-number spread the odds of winning are 8%. If you do win, it will pay 5 to 1 on your bet. A two-card spread pays 4 to1 and will hit about 15% of the time. A three-card spread pays 2 to 1 but will only occur an average of 23% of the time. Spreads between four and eleven all pay 1 to 1 on your bet, but only spreads of seven or more give you more than a 50% chance to win.
That means that it's correct Red Dog strategy to only raise your bet when you have a seven-card spread or more. Otherwise, just stay with the bet that you have already made, and hope that you beat the odds and win the hand.
You won't have the choice to take another card if you're dealt two cards of the same value. When this happens the third card is automatically dealt, and you don't get the opportunity to raise your initial bet. If you manage to hit another card of the same value you get paid 11 to 1 on your original wager.
The house edge in Red Dog varies based on how many decks the casino has in play. With one deck, the house edge is 3.15%. Two decks gives them an edge of 3.077%, four decks provides 2.88%, six decks means a 2.80% edge for the house, and games with eight decks in play give the house a 2.75% edge. Unlike most casino games, in Red Dog the player's chances improve as the number of decks in play increases.

I shop at several online nurseries. Is there any special types of plants you'd like? Accents for Home and Garden Almost Eden Plants Shoal Creek Succulents Thistledown, though it's closed until spring JadePoint Victoria-Dove Absolutely Cactus Ebay. You can find almost any plant on Ebay. Some nurseries might be closed or about to..Also, even though there are thousands, plus, of plants on Ebay, I notice more sellers are shipping seeds, but you can still find many-a-plant/s. Toni |

- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 12:19
They're in Stewart, OH, near Athens. The address is on the website; Church St. There are signs and not much else there, you can't miss it. About as far away from you as possible while still being in OH, though. I would call first and go when it's warmer, preferably on my way to some beach if I've already drove that far :) |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 12:59
Forgot about Glasshouse Works...They have nice plants, too. Hey Purple, have you been there? If so, how was it? Toni |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 14:18
When I visited, it was about 10 yrs ago and it's, um, a quite unique experience. There are mazes of greenhouses, added as the business grew, slammed full of plants on different levels, hanging from the ceilings, dropped pieces rooting on the ground, flats of cuttings, overwhelming! Outside are test plots, nursery beds, tons of whimsical artwork and geegaws, vines... Imagine what would happen if you had a decent size property and had all the time in the world to "play" with plants - what would it look like after a decade or so? Given their remote location, visitors are rare, and we were greeted by one of the owners and given a tour, a lot of info and advice, invited to browse until we got sick of it, then bought some really cool plants and a couple books. That's why I said to call first, it's not the type of store where people are coming in and out all the time. It would be a bummer if they were at the grocery store or on vacation. This is truly a home-based business by a couple guys who just love plants and, I think, sell them to support their habit. |
Awesome! Thanks everyone! |
- Posted by usha_srinivasan z5/6 SE MI (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 15:25
Sounds like a wonderful place to visit ! I just checked, it is a 5 hr drive from where I live so I might have to wait a while but I will definitely call before I drive down. Thanks for the info. Usha |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Wed, Oct 26, 11 at 15:41
Purple, sounds great. Cuttings on the floor!! I do not consider cleaning felled plants, stealing. lol. Are their plants in order? Or here and there? Out of all the family owned nurseries here, only one is around..Opened year round...sounds like GHW's set up. I like visiting during winter..never know what you'll find. One time, they had an extremely underpotted Philo 'congo' for 4.00. They were huge. Of course, the Philo jumped in my cart. lol. Roots were 2' long, growing from drainage holes. Oh, they also have a very rare Pony Tail Palm. He received this plant in the 30's. I asked what it cost..he jokingly said, you'd have to take a second mortgage. lol. Atown..Sorry, didn't mean to rant..lol. Keep us posted if/when you decide to purchase a plant from an online nursery. There are so many to choose from. BTW, if you find a nursery other than one Purple and I mentioned, please check gardenwatchdog prior to ordering. Read feedback on the nursery. Most nurseries are legit, but some are NOT. Toni |
Bob Smoley's Gardenworld, Mountain Crest Gardens, Simply Succulents, Hirts Gardens, Arid Lands Greenhouse; I have ordered from all these and have been treated wonderfully. Never had a problem so I don't know how they would react? But my greatest deals and most beautiful plants came from local grocery stores and big box stores (Lowes, Home Depot). I bought a variegated Jade on clearance for 50 cents. A pot full of 'prayer plants' in a brass looking urn for 75 cents on clearance. Good Luck hunting. (that's were the fun is). Stush |
Glass House works has a wonderful web site. Never visited, but it's on my to do list. is Jade Point having website issues? I keep getting error messages when I click on the pages. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Nov 1, 11 at 7:33
Hey, Toni... Are their plants in order? Or here and there? There was probably an order but just not apparent to a mere mortal such as myself. It was nice they took you on a tour. I thought so, too!! I'd need a cart. Are price tags on the plants? I ended up with a box! No prices that I remember, but this was a decade ago. I doubt things are much more clearly organized for visitors, but you never know. It felt like going on safari. I'd love to go back! |
Hi Toni If you don't mind my asking, What greenhouse/nursery are you referring to? I've bought many plants from ebay sellers and have not had issues. Just stay away from sellers that "oversell" their plants and also if you're buying a grown plant rather than seeds, that the seller post an image of the actual plant and not just a stock photo of the species. Check out where they are located too because that can cause a whole new set of issues. I have bought one plant from Logees a couple of year ago, expensive but it arrived in fine shape and I still have it. Black Jungle, I've also gotten some nice stuff from them in the past. Sarracenia Northwest for carnivores. California Carnivores Meadowview Biological Research Station, This is a non-profit, When I kept carnivorous plants this was usually my first place to look for something. They also sell non-carnivores. Danny |

Purple, too funny. Don't want to mention names, but a friend once drove far south to visit nurseries she ordinarily ordered online. Danny, Ted's in Tinley Park..have you ever been there???? Ohhh, you'd love it!!! Ever heard of Sid's? Well, after 'X' years, they're going or have gone out of business. I thought about visiting when/if plants/pots went on sale, but decided to pass. But, Ted's is the one nursery we have left, and worth the drive. Toni |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Nov 2, 11 at 11:07
Yeah, sometimes a look behind the scenery is scary. But, FWIW, they were very concerned about pests at Glasshouse Works and refused to sell one plant I wanted because they said it was not as healthy as it should be and was in quarantine (not a shrine, like I thought.) They said didn't sell plants that aren't up to their health standards. Please don't ask, my mind has blocked the part of that painful memory in regard to "what plant?" LOL! |
And for nice orchids try OakHill Gardens. |
