Add a CommentI'll update this review once I've tried more recipes, but I was so blown away by the single recipe that I did try - Romanian Sweet & Sour Eggplant- that I feel compelled to leave a note saying as much.
It took about an hour, but made for a great dinner and delicious leftovers!

Manual Pet Doors
Manual pet doors are the most common type of dog doors and cat doors purchased. In fact, when most people refer to a dog door they are referring to manual dog doors. You have a correspondingly greater selection than for motorized or electronic pet doors. Unless you have a specific need like stray cats breaking into your home, the possibility of wild animals breaking in for food, etc., we think that the manual dog door or cat door is the way to go. They're simpler; less to go wrong. They don't require keeping up with batteries or lost collar keys. They can have flexible, therefore safer, flaps. And, last but certainly not least, they cost less other things being equal. Unless you have a good reason, get one of these dog doors or cat doors.

Skeme - Kidz With Gunz
Artist: Skeme
Featuring: ScHoolboy Q
Producer: THC
Album: Alive and Living
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 5 votes )
After reading the title of Skeme's latest feature, I was expecting a downer. As it turns out, though, the record's not a tragic tale involving child soldiers or a gritty expose of life as a shorty in the 'hood; it's just the story of two Kidz With Gunz bragging, stacking paper and generally emphasizing their flyness. Here, THC's tinny synths and bass-booming rhythm section set the stage for brash, confrontational bars from the Inglewood native and fellow Golden State buzzmaker Schoolboy Q (recently featured with #TDEFamAppreciationWeek release Party). Alive & Living is scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers October 16. In the meantime, fans can cop this single now on iTunes.

A "Perfect Storm" of Complacency: The Third Annual Survey of Level 4 Merchant PCI Compliance Trends
In November 2011, ControlScan completed its third annual survey of Level 4 merchant trends and attitudes regarding compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This year's survey, conducted in association with Merchant Warehouse, collected responses from 621 Level 4 merchants.
Three key findings from the survey indicate that merchants have a "What? Me Worry?" attitude with regard to sensitive cardholder data:
The survey did reveal some small steps of progress compared to last year. Of the 2011 respondents expressing awareness of PCI, more merchants have validated that they are PCI compliant and more are taking actions to comply with PCI and enhance data security.
Download this white paper to review the findings in greater detail, as well as learn how ISOs and acquirers can overcome merchant complacency and minimize risk by elevating merchants' awareness of PCI and the consequences of non-compliance.Download this White Paper

I have a model, Entry
with a Foreign Key
, author
, of type User
author = models.ForeignKey(User, default=None)
I periodically poll the server using AJAX and have a view that returns any new Entry
objects in a response, serialized in JSON format. Here is the code:
def pollNewEntries(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
delta = datetime.timedelta(seconds=19)
# Determine if there are any new posts since 19 seconds before current
# time. AJAX polls server every 10 seconds. Stores ids of new posts and
# checks those against any incoming posts, ignoring duplicates.
cutOff = timezone.now() - delta
newEntries = Entry.objects.filter(pubDate__gt=cutOff)
data = serializers.serialize('json', newEntries)
return HttpResponse(data, mimetype='application/json')
This returns completely fine data for all of the rest of my Entry
fields, but when I dynamically log/print/append Entry.author
in my Javascript, it gives me the id field of the author. I've inspected the serialized object in the JS, and there are no additional fields in author
to get.
Is there a way to change what part of author
is represented in the serialized data? Basically, I want my view to return a JSON object that has author.name
instead of author.id
for the author

Mario Kart 7
Is Nintendo going to do anything about the Maka Wuhu cheaters?

--- Kazoo for you! AC:CF FC 1719-6683-2183 Name: Lewis Town: Kryptona (>^_^)>=- Pokemon Heartgold FC 1162-1968-2953 Name Lois | |
I wouldn't necessarily call it cheating. It's a glitch. They probably should fix it, but it doesn't look like it will be fixed any time soon. --- Check out my Youtube Channel! www.youtube.com/thepoketran for WI-FI BATTLES! Pokemon Black FC: 1635 6449 9275 | |
Purposely abusing a glitch = cheating. Anyway, even though I don't care much about the Maka Wuhu glitch, I'd still love it if Nintendo would do something about it. Racing on Maka Wuhu 9/10 times because people are so pathetic they need to ensure they beat newbies who haven't properly experienced the glitch yet and so keep selecting Maka Wuhu is, besides extremely sad on their part, extremely boring. Unfortunately, the answer is: No. Nintendo won't do anything about it. | |
It's not cheating when everyone can do it and it's easy as s*** to do. Face it- the exploit has become a regular part of the game's random online. Everyone knows it, everyone does it. If you choose not to use it you're going to lose handily. Do I like this? No, it's a dumb glitch that trivializes a big chunk of the stage. Do I point the finger at the people who use it when the stage gets selected? No. The people to be blamed here are Nintendo for not properly playtesting the stage or anticipating problems like this. If there's an effective glitch that can be used online, you can bet that people are going to use it to try and get an edge/keep up with people they don't know. But hey, keep on waving around that "cheaters" flag, folks. Have fun being that poor sap who ends up way behind the pack and eats up a bunch of losses. --- My old account got better. | |
Doesn't matter that everyone does it. I do it too (in fact, I counter-glitched as soon as it was discovered, when still 6/8 players didn't use it), but still: cheating remains cheating. Cheating isn't necessarily bad though, it depends on the situation. In this case, because everyone does it, of course you should do it too, it's foolish not to. But don't act all high and mighty you don't use cheats if you do so (or purposely pick Maka Wuhu for the glitch of course). | |
SSJ2__Gohan posted... but still: cheating remains cheating. You don't know what cheating is, yet you continue to drone on. You should do us all a favor and stop. --- My old account got better. | |
Nintendo stated that they will not fix the glitch anytime soon "Hello, Thank you for writing. I'd like to start by apologizing for the delay in our response. While we strive to answer every email within twenty-four hours, for a variety of reasons we've been unusually busy. We are aware that it is possible to navigate a certain part of the track in Wuhu Island in a way that allows a large part of the course to be bypassed. There are no plans to update the game to remove this shortcut as doing so would create an unfair advantage for the users of the original release of the game. Rest assured your comments have been added to our records for Mario Kart 7." | |

It rather seems you are the one who doesn't know what cheating is. Cheating is deliberately violating the rules. Abusing glitches is ALWAYS a violation of the rules, even if they're unwritten and/or the game's online is not monitored. | |
From: SSJ2__Gohan | #003 Wavedashing = cheating? Snaking = cheating? I don't think so. Also, skiing in Starsiege Tribes started as a glitch and became an official game mechanic in Tribes 2. | |

Also, skiing in Starsiege Tribes started as a glitch and became an official game mechanic in Tribes 2. Wavedashing and snaking are intended game mechanics, and therefore are within the rules. Wavedashing has some questionable stuff about it, but in the end there's nothing unusual about it, unlike a screwed up spawn that saves 30 seconds. And especially snaking is normal: you're just using a completely intended mechanic, nothing questionable to be said about it. Rules are always subject to change. Especially when said game is a newer version. |

- Ascot to Scottish Tourism Week: Argyll and the Isles Tourism Cooperative
There is an issue here. we were unable to see the logic of the Ascot presence and our questions on the strategy involved went unanaswered.
We have been – and remain – concerned by a loss of concentrated strategic focus that appears to have stricken AITC, ironically since it was granted council and HIE funding.
The flair's not there and any hard or soft edged marketing needs flair – the one indispensable.
We think back to a seminal period which has not been taken into the development drive whose promise it exuded – the Tourism Summit at Portavadie.
That was packed with commitment, ideas, initiatives, energy, hope and fun.
Kintyre Express came in from the sea in tribute to the location. Brian Keating was pushing issues like air PSOs. The Scottish RYA was putting a hard edged business case for leisure sailing facilities and stepping stones of marinas through Argyll waters….
There was hope – there was a shedload of buy-in from the industry, there was static electricity everywhere.
At this stage we felt AITC was taking off and towing Argyll upwards behind it. The council was starting to loosen its stays and feel imaginative. We were on the way. Everyone was on board.
Now somehow, for whatever reason, the heart, lungs and mind don't seem to be there.
We continue to hope but we need to be convinced. - Ascot to Scottish Tourism Week: Argyll and the Isles Tourism Cooperative
That is a serious issue.
Public money is always at a discount in the public sector. - Conservatives suggest new network of recovery centres to treat drunks outwith overpressed A&E
The SNP Scottish Government's plan for minimum pricing of alcohol was strategic, brave and rated as a serious contributor to the address to the issue you correctly identify.
It is a major loss that this plan was deliberately derailed – largely by the immensely well funded lobbying power of drinks giant, Diageo, whose profits are swollen by the misery of the vulnerable whom they exploit.
They fronted their campaign on the visceral romance of Scotch whisky – which was already beyond the minimum price that was planned and would have remained unaffected.
What they really wanted to protect was the profit margin on their cheap alcopops and vodka – the major stepping stones in developing a drink habit in teenagers and thereby protecting profits well ibto the future.
Diageo too played a major part in taking down the later attempt by the UK government to introduce the same 'measure'. - SNP candidate for Argyll & Bute in major own goal?
BBC Scotland was intimidated by continuous protest from the Scottish Government [which had learned well the Alastair Campbell lessons of just how to do this] during the indy campaign and failed markedly to interrogate as it should and in the public interest, what was demonstrably a flawed prospectus. It came under SNP fire because,b while wrongly diluting its necessary independence, it did not quite make the trip to open hagiography. - Conservatives suggest new network of recovery centres to treat drunks outwith overpressed A&E
The proposal is not for any second class facility – but for a network of facilities fully fit for a specific part of the spectrum of issues which take people to A&E departments.

Paleo-stamps of Switzerland
03.09.2010 "Dinosaurus in Switzerland"
Numerous skeleton and
footprint finds confirm what a lot of people do not know:
many millions of years ago, there were dinosaurs in Switzerland too.
Reptiles which are now extinct (saurians) lived not just on terra
firma, but also in the water and in the air. Three new special stamps
showcase a selection of Swiss saurians, bringing them back to life:
Theropoda , Ichthyosauria, Pterosauria.
Skelets of all three dinosaurus found at Switzerland: Theropoda and Ichthyosauria at Frick, Pterosauria at Kanton Graubuenden and can be seen at Sauriermuseum Frick.
More info is here
07.09.2004 "Unesco World Heritage: Monte San Giorgio"
This pyramid-shaped, wooded mountain between the southern arms of Lake Lugano is the best fossil record of marine life from the Triassic Period (230-245 million years ago), when a lagoon covered the area.
The long history of study of the site, and the disciplined management of the resource have created a well documented and catalogued body of specimens of exceptional quality - fish, ammonites, crustaceans but also reptiles, insects and plants. Monte San Giorgio provides the principal point of reference, relevant to future discoveries of marine Triassic remains throughout the world.
More info is here
1958-1961 four mineral sets are issued by Pro Patria together with Swiss Post. Each set has one fossil depicted stamp. These stamps depicted most beatifull minerals and fossils found in Switzerland.
1961 "For cultural purposes" campaign
1960 "For the scholarship fund for young people in vocational training" campaign
1959 "For Swiss abroad and the foreign secretary of the Swiss-NHG" campaign
1958 "For mothers in distress" campaign
Pro Patria, officially Stiftung PRO PATRIA Schweizerische
Bundesfeierspende, is a Swiss patriotic and charitable organization. Its purpose is
to give meaning to the Swiss national holiday, August 1, by collecting
donations to the benefit of social and cultural works of national
public interest.
Pro Patria was founded in 1909 as the Verein Schweizerische Bundesfeier-Spende (Swiss Federal Celebration Donation Association) by a group of public-spirited citizens led by the merchant Albert Schuster. The association's efforts were supported by the Swiss federal government and the Post Office, and Pro Patria coordinated its activities with the government during the first decades of its operation. The first Federal Celebration Collection yielded 29,000 Swiss francs and was used to support flood victims.
Pro Patria collects donations principally through the sale of postage stamps, postcards and badges, in cooperation with the Swiss Post.
Beginning in 1938, the Swiss PTT began issuing an annual semi-postal stamp or set coincident with Swiss National Day, August 1. Each year specific charitable goals are established for the non-postal portion of the stamps' value. Post offices sold Federal Celebration postcards from 1910 to 1960 and postage stamps since 1938. The price of these cards and stamps (marked with "Pro Patria" since 1952) exceeds their denomination, with the surcharge representing a donation to Pro Patria.

Please let us know where you are from . What you would like to do in Chiangmai during your stay?
Mat has completed online and offline ID verification.
We were staying 2 weeks at Mats beautiful place! The garden was free for reading and working with internet in the sun, the terasse from our nice and very clean room for staying in shadow and take our exellent brakfast. Mat is a lovely person (and a good cook) : she could answer our questions, carry us to the city, to the zoo and to the famous tempel Doi Suthep and she was every time an intelligent and nice companion. The vilage had a beautiful tempel , several small restaurants and shops and a tipical local thai market twice a week. Thanks for all!
Our second stay in Bluebutterfly house, it was great.We love Mat, very caring and helping host.Thank you for special birthday dessert, it was delicious.
Great hospitality, super nice location. Matt is an awesome and very helpful host. Our stay was very relaxing.
I had a lovely stay at Blue Butterfly which is situation about 5-10mins motorbike drive from the center of Chiang Mai city. The location was perfect for me as I prefer to sleep and wake up in nature and still be close enough to enjoy the city during the day. The garden is beautiful and the Thai village that surrounds the house is very cute and very Thai, little Thai shops, Thai restaurants, markets and 2 temples which hold international meditation classes. The room was very nicely designed, looked like everything was pretty new, it had a nice big double bed, with fan a beautiful bathroom with hot shower. Mat was lovely and cooked me delicious breakfast every morning. Mat was also very helpful with giving me information and directions. I would definitely recommend staying at Blue Butterfly, it was a little peaceful sanctuary just outside a busy city.

Insomnia is America's No. 1 sleep complaint. And people will go to great lengths to fight it. To find out how far, we asked journalist Patricia Morrisroe, whose book
Wide Awake
recounts her 3-year global quest for better rest…
Counting sheep at night? You're not the only one.
About 30% of adults have trouble nodding off or sleeping through the night at some point in any given year, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. About 10% lie awake frequently.
One of them is New York-based journalist Patricia Morrisroe.
In her book,
Wide Awake: A Memoir of Insomnia
(Spiegel & Grau), Morrisroe describes her 3-year worldwide trek to conquer sleeplessness. To find answers and relief, she consulted with sleep doctors, psychiatrists, drug manufacturers and therapists of every stripe.
And even unlikelier experts, including a reindeer herder.
"I'd wondered what it's like to sleep when it's dark 20 hours a day – or in the summer, when it's almost always light," she says.
Morrisroe tried pills, psychotherapy, prayer, high-priced earplugs and brain-music therapy. She traveled from a Manhattan sleep lab to a medical education course in Las Vegas, where she learned that doctors are more sleep-deprived than almost anyone else.
That's only one of her surprising findings. In this interview, she reveals what she discovered during her quest for a decent night's sleep.
When did you first have problems sleeping?
Second grade. We had to change seats according to our math scores. I was always thrown in the last row, what became known as the "garbage row."
Being there upset me tremendously. A certain anxiety level built up, and not sleeping was the result.
Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep?
When I was younger, I had difficulty falling asleep. As people get older, they tend to develop sleep-maintenance insomnia – they wake up and can't get back to sleep. That was me.
I'd fall asleep fine, sleep for 3 or 3-1/2 hours, and then I was wide awake.
Does insomnia run in your family?
My grandfather lived with us and was always a bad sleeper. He would fall asleep fairly early and be awake by 2 a.m.
He'd jot down quotes by Shakespeare. When he got bored, he'd write words from the dictionary. I always knew what kind of night he had by how many words I had to learn in the morning.
My mother wasn't a good sleeper, and she'd fall into that same pattern.
So is sleeplessness genetic?
Researchers haven't found a genetic basis for insomnia, but some people seem to be naturally hyper and more vigilant. We wake up at the slightest noise.
What tactics did you try to improve your sleep?
I was in psychotherapy for [many] years and certainly discussed the sleep issue.
I took Ativan [lorazepam], which is a benzodiazepine used primarily for anxiety. It worked for sleep for a while, but I never wanted to take drugs long-term.
What prompted you to write
Wide Awake
At the time, in 2006, there was all that [news] about people taking Ambien [zolpidem] and getting up in the middle of the night to raid the refrigerator. I thought,
What's happening out there with sleep?
And I had neighbors upstairs with young kids who were up at 6 a.m., running around and making noise. I'd wake up at 3 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep, knowing they'd be crashing around a few hours later. It was my worst period.
Your first step was going to a sleep clinic for an evaluation.
That was a total waste of time.
You spend the night in a very weird setting. You're completely hooked up to wires. You have a man coming in and waking you up if a wire falls off and he has to reattach it.
Then the doctor used that data to analyze my sleep, which, of course, had nothing to do with my natural sleep [pattern].
What was the assessment?
He said I had atypical brain waves and needed to be on medicine. I've subsequently talked with other sleep specialists who said the brain-wave thing was ridiculous.
But you tried the drug he prescribed?
Yes, doxepin [an FDA-approved antidepressant]. It gave me hallucinations.
Did that turn you off to sleeping pills?
I'm not someone who says "don't take drugs." If you're not as supersensitive as I am, it can be helpful.
You also tried cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which involves developing positive thoughts and beliefs about sleep.
It can work. However, I wasn't big on the sleep hygiene rules [behavior and environmental guidelines to improve sleep].
I like watching TV in bed and didn't think it caused my insomnia, since I'd fall asleep right away. You're also supposed to get out of bed when you wake up and do something "soothing," like read a book. But for a writer, that's probably the least soothing thing to do.
But mainly, CBT didn't work [for me] because my sleep doctor worked with my cognitive behavioral therapist. My sleep doctor got angry with me when he learned I was writing the book, so I was afraid to go back.
What's the weirdest sleep technique you tried?
I talked to a psychic at [a large home-furnishing store in Manhattan] who was part of a celebration of Indian culture at the store. Not that I expected to find the answer, but some people recommended her.
I told her I had insomnia. She gave me a prayer to say to Nidra, the goddess of sleep.
You also went to Lapland, north of the Arctic Circle, at Christmastime. What did you hope to discover?
When I was little, I used to wait up for Santa. And I always thought if I could see a reindeer on Christmas, maybe I'd get the gift of sleep. In Lapland, reindeer outnumber people.
Did you get that gift?
At that time of year, it's dark almost all the time. One of the reindeer herders said it wasn't a problem. In the winter he sleeps about 10 hours a night, and in the summer maybe 4 or 5.
He said, "It's all about keeping rhythm with nature. When the sun shines, it gives us energy to keep going. When it doesn't, we go to bed.''
The idea hit home that my sleep, particularly living in a city, had gotten very far away from the rhythms of nature.
A huge industry has sprung up to help us sleep better. You looked into staggeringly expensive products – $20,000 mattresses, $60,000 beds, custom-made earplugs. Did you buy anything that helped?
I adore my sound machine. It doesn't block out the kids upstairs, but it takes the edge off the sirens and trucks outside.
I set it on white noise. Anything else – babbling brook or birds – and I'll put a story to the sound and won't sleep.
I don't remember how much it cost, maybe $89. But you don't even need to do that. You can just use your iPhone [which offers downloadable white-noise apps].
In the end, meditation finally helped you sleep better.
It did. I'd always wanted to try it. And I didn't want to write a book that said at the end, OK, I can't sleep, sorry.
So I put a lot of time into this – I really wanted it to work. Every day I sat down and meditated. It helped because it calmed me down.
Is it an insomnia cure? No. But for the longest time, the discipline helped a lot with my sleep.
Then the book came out, and I had a lot of people ask me, "How did you sleep last night?" My sleep started to fall apart. But I'm getting it back again.
What's your meditation routine?
I do it in the morning, 20 minutes, sitting in the corner of my bedroom. Sometimes I do a semi-lotus position, but if my back is bothering me, I skip that.
I do a mantra at the beginning and just let my mind wander. As they say, if any thoughts pop back into my mind, I try to push them away.
I tend to be a perfectionist and hard on myself. When I started, I'd get mad at myself when thoughts popped into my mind, so it was important to learn to be easier on myself.
And that taught me to be easier on my sleep.
What do you mean, easier on your sleep?
I don't believe we need eight hours of sleep a night.
Sometimes people are going to sleep OK, and sometimes not. Perfection in sleep isn't going to happen. If something is keeping you awake, you don't want to let that pattern take over your life.
And that can happen. You think,
I'm not sleeping tonight; I'm not going to sleep tomorrow; I'll never sleep well again
. Fear of not sleeping can lead to not sleeping.
What do you recommend to other women with insomnia?
First, make sure there's not another issue keeping you awake. We tend to think of sleep apnea [a disorder that causes people to stop breathing during sleep] as primarily affecting men, and it does. However, women who have gone through
have higher rates of it.
Insomnia can also be caused by
restless legs syndrome
If there's no other medical issue, consider trying relaxation exercises, like
. Get plenty of exercise and sunlight, because our biological clock needs it.
Lead as healthy a life as you can. If you're not sleeping as well as you think you should, analyze how many [hours] you really need. If you're sleeping 6 hours a night, maybe that's enough.
The worst thing you can do is obsess.
