Samosa Recipe
Greetings from Penang!
I am very happy that Prerna of Indian Simmer is guest posting today as I have always loved Indian cuisine and one particular recipe that I wanted to learn is Samosa—a bite-sized parcel of spiced potatoes encased in a crispy shell. Prerna moved to the US five years ago and started Indian Simmer last year to share her love and passion in Indian cooking with a simple goal—making Indian food more approachable and appealing to all. Indian Simmer is graced with mouthwatering and authentic Indian recipes and her food photography is pure perfection. I am just so glad that now I have another great Indian cooking blog to refer to. Please welcome Indian Simmer to Rasa Malaysia and do check it out. It's a gem and I am very sure that you will love it.
I have to admit, when Bee asked me if I would be able to share the recipe for Samosa on her blog, I was a bit worried. Not because I had never made it before but because I wanted to it be perfect enough for me to share it with everyone. I decided to reach out to the best Indian food chef that I know of and get some help. So I made an SOS call to my mom. She gave me some really important tips and also a lot of courage to do this and do this right…
Growing up it was a treat when guests would visit us for evening tea. I and my brother knew that Papa (our dad) would hand us a ten rupee bill and we would run over to the shop at the corner of the street to get some fresh out of the fryer samosas for everyone! Samosa is probably the most popular snack you can find in nearly every part of incredibly diverse India, in some form or the other. It's a stuffed pastry which is mostly fried in oil and is triangular in shape. It is very simple to make, you just need to know the right tricks to put it together. Any kind of filling can be used from minced meat to something sweet like sweetened coconut filling but here I am sharing a recipe that has everyone's favorite and most common filling in India – potato.

This is exactly how my mother makes her samosas. Feeling very homesick…
Lovely post Prerna!
It's interesting to see ajwain seeds (we call it omum in Malaysia, used to make muruku) being used to make samosas as well. The samosas I used to eat here and in Malaysia have a smooth, phyllo pastry like dough, yours look much more authentic.
Wow, the samosa looks very delicious. I always have it at Indian buffet restaurant. Glad to see the recipe here and will check out Indian Simmer.
OMG super yum! and I also want muruku now…I love Indian snack, especially the round sugary balls & stuff made of peas..what a great idea to have Perna here.
Thanks so much for asking me to do a guest post on your blog Bee! I had a great time doing this! Thanks!
Hi! Can we know the recipe for the green dipping sauce, that we are seeing in the middle picture?
Here's the link to a post on IndianSimmer with the green chutney recipe if you would like to try http://www.indiansimmer.com/2010/08/tadka-tomato-dal-and-green-tomato.html
Hi Bee,
So glad that you featured Indian Simmer on your site! I am a new convert to Prema's blog now.
Prema – great stuff! We can now venture into Indian cuisine with ease. Love your beautiful posts!
I didn't see turmeric in the filling at the beginning, so I don't know how much turmeric do I need. Thanks.
Hi Renee,
I usually don't add turmeric to the filling and maybe that's why it slipped off of my mind to mention it here.
For this recipe you can add 1 tsp of turmeric.
Delicious looking samosa. Do you know where can I get semolina in the US?
Shirley you can find it easily at any Asian/Indian stores in the US. We call it SOOJI in hindi just in case they don't understand. Its also called cream of wheat.
If you still can't find it, try adding rice flour instead for the crispiness.
Love samosas. Please post more Indian recipes on Rasa Malaysia. I miss Indian food. Great to discover Indian Simmer.
Love samosas! I can imagine how wonderful they would be homemade!
Those samosas look splendid! A great guest post.
So great. I love the pictures and how perfect the somosas are.
oh Wow! Beautiful samosas.
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. I know it wouldn't be authentic, but could these be baked instead of deep-fried? I have a phobia of deep-frying!
I haven't tried baking them personally but u sure can 'cos I've tasted some baked samosas too. U just need to add extra butter/oil in the dough or just use frozen pastry sheets instead. They work wonders!
I love the filling ingredients. Interesting that the oil Has to be warm to cook them. So different from what I'm used to when cooking with oil.
Yes, that's a very important that my mom gave me and I have made several unsuccessful batches of soggy samosas 'cos I was fryin them in hot oil. Hot oil makes the dish soft n warm oil slowly cooks them making it crispy.
I was waiting for a samosas recipe, Prerna :) My husband will be all over this after I make your naan!
Good thing you mentioned about the oil temperature. I always thought you have to drop it to a very hot oil to make them crispy! Now I know the trick:)
i love Samosas… I used to eat these a lot when I lived in DC and worked right across the street from this one place that used to make them every day and sell them for $1!!! Loved them. Great pictorial.
These look amazing Prerna!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yummyyyy, I love samosa, great recipe thanks for sharing :)
I love samosa, didnt think i could get 1st hand recipe. Thanks a bunch.
I'm looking at your recipe and it says in the "filling" part to add the peas and tumeric, but you don't say how much…or do you mean coriander?
Glad it was timely and useful! :-)
Thanks For this great Awesome Tips..
Looks so nice. Love the browns of the samosas and the green and red of the chutneys. You could check out another way to wrap the pastry on http://indugetscooking.blogspot.com/2010/11/garam-garam-samose.html
Just made these with a bought pastry for spring rolls. It was so easy and tasty!
I really like this recipe, but the amount of ajwain seeds is kind of not specified. What amount of ajwain seeds should I use?
This looks so delicious. Can't wait to try making them!
yummy samosa munchy…
Watch my innovative papad samosa…

Bruins fall to Rangers in shootout
Thursday, January 24, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Marian Gaborik scored twice in the first period and then completed his hat trick 27 seconds into overtime as the New York Rangers overcame a pair of blown leads and beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Wednesday night for their first win of the season.
Gaborik scored his first three goals of the young season while playing on a new top line with star forwards Rick Nash and Brad Richards. Rangers coach John Tortorella said before the game that this trio makes the club's offensive attack unbalanced, but he could hardly quibble with the instant results.
Just when it seemed the game had turned completely in Boston's direction, Pyatt restored the Rangers' lead 46 seconds later when he put in a rebound of Derek Stepan's drive that bounced off Rask's chest.
Just 26 seconds after being thwarted, Gaborik finished off a brilliant end-to-end passing play for his 325th NHL goal.
NOTES: RW Arron Asham, who made his Rangers debut Sunday vs. Pittsburgh, sat out because of a groin injury. He was replaced in the lineup by D Steve Eminger. Stu Bickel moved up from defense to fill Asham's forward spot in limited ice time. ... With his next win, Julien will move into a third-place tie with Don Cherry (231) on the Bruins' career coaching list. ... Lundqvist made his 26th straight start against the Bruins, dating to Jan. 13, 2007. ... The teams will meet one more time this season, at Boston on Feb. 12.

FLASHBACK: Dion & The Belmonts Reunite At Madison Square Garden
Sunday, June 2, 2013
It was 41 years ago today (June 2nd, 1972) that Dion & The Belmonts reunited at New York City's Madison Square Garden at an oldies show sponsored by local radio station WCBS-FM. Despite the group briefly reuniting in 1967 for an ill-fated studio album, called Together Again, the Garden show was Dion's first gig with the band in 12 years. Dion played acoustic guitar throughout the night and the group was backed by Billy Vera & The Beaters, who went on to score a 1986 Number One hit with "At This Moment."
A live album of the event was released the following year, titled Reunion: Live At Madison Square Garden.
Dion says that it wasn't quite the reunion he expected: "Fred Milano and Carlo Mastrangelo showed up and they said that Angelo (D'Aleo) was sick. And Angelo says he wasn't asked to be there. We went through with the show, because the Belmonts, they weren't on the records, 'The Wanderer' and 'Ruby Baby,' they weren't on a lot of those songs. When all was said and done and I listened to the album, I said, 'Angelo's gotta be on there, I can't release this without his voice.' (So) I kind of overdubbed him."
Dion & The Belmonts have performed several times over the years at various Dion solo shows. The Belmonts continued to perform with Fred Milano, who won the rights to the name from the others after a legal battle. Milano died on January 1st, 2012.
In 2005, Dion's 1987 Radio City Music Hall concert was issued on CD as Dion And Friends Live In New York City. Performing alongside Dion and his band was Belmont Carlo Mastrangelo.
In 2012, Dion released his latest album, the critically acclaimed, Tank Full Of Blues.

Mother of thebride or baglady? Youdecide!
Sunday, January 13, 2013
I don't know how it happened, but I am about to be one of the worst mothers-of-the-bride in fashion history.
That seems like a lifetime ago. These days, those darling little pumps have been replaced by ancient, scuffed up Dansko clogs. The lovely, stylish outfits of my younger years have turned into serviceable black pants, a black V-neck T-shirt and a cardigan sweater. Though I admire nuns greatly, I never envisioned looking like one! Somehow, between my crazy job and raising seven children, I have lost the zest for dressing.
That's what made last Saturday so difficult. I had been avoiding the inevitable dress shopping for months and had made a date with Ellie and my oldest, daughter, Emily, to shop for a suitable mother-of-the-bride dress. We were to devote the whole day to it — my two gorgeous, stylish daughters who routinely manicure their nails and their mother/nun, who bites hers.
We went to the new outlet stores in Merrimack, N.H., and hit Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's. This was serious business. A dress needed to be purchased by day's end. The girls loaded the dressing rooms with dozens of beautiful dresses with plenty of oomph. I tried on red ones, blue ones, gray ones and brown ones, too. There were dresses with too little material and some with too much. There were puffy ones with stiff petticoats underneath and some with big bras sewn in. They all had big price tags and I looked ridiculous in every one of them. It was miserable.
So that the day would not be a total loss, we did a little shopping for Ellie. She got a beautiful white dress for her rehearsal dinner, some sequined shoes to match her wedding dress and a beautiful necklace.
I am praying I don't look like a nun or one of the bad witches in the "Wizard of Oz."

So basically... just like every other gsoc project... nothing useful produced and nothing that will ever be completed.
Phoronix: The VP8 State Tracker That Was Born This Summer
From this year's Google Summer of Code we know that morphological anti-aliasing (MLAA) for Gallium3D was a great success ready to be merged, there was good progress with the OpenCL Gallium3D state tracker, and the remote Wayland Display Server didn't make it too far. But was it a success for the VP8 state tracker for accelerating Google's video codec in Gallium3D with VDPAU? Here's a status update...
So basically... just like every other gsoc project... nothing useful produced and nothing that will ever be completed.
I feel quite the opposite way. Provided that his patches will be accepted, of course.
Basically, in my understanding of the article, the only reason it doesn't fully work with g3d is the lack of full vdpau support in g3dvl. Which is being worked on by Christian.
So, this will be rather useful if it gets accepted upstream. *Hoping for the best!*
Granted, it doesn't help much with the current g3dvl implementation. In fact, it can do only as much acceleration for vp8 as much is possible for other codecs (using g3dvl, of course).
I can't say I'm that surprised that he didn't finish the decoder. The fact that he managed to get as far as he did is still useful. I'll also have to check out what sort of simplifications/cleanups/optimizations he made. The color space conversion might also be interesting to look at.
I had only 2 months of coding time when I was working on my OpenCL-based VP8 decoder for my master's thesis. I managed to finish the device initialization, and basic kernels for loop filtering, subpixel prediction (motion comp), and the IDCT/Dequant stages. I didn't have much time to do many algorithmic optimizations for the GPU, so the final product ended up being significantly slower than CPU-based decoding. Hopefully future work on the project will speed it up enough to make it worthwhile.

Traces the development of a Swedish furniture retailer under the leadership of an innovative and unconventional entrepreneur whose approaches redefine the nature and structure of the industry. Traces IKEA's growth from a tiny mail order business to the world's largest furniture dealership. Describes the innovative strategic and organizational changes Kamprad made to achieve success. In particular, focuses on his unique vision and values and the way they have become institutionalized as IKEA's binding corporate culture. The trigger issue revolves around whether this vital "corporate glue" can survive massive expansion into the United States and the Eastern Bloc and Kamprad's replacement as CEO by a "professional manager."

- All containers must be carried in a plastic bag (transparent, resealable, max. capacity 1 litre). One bag per person
- The bag must be presented separately at the security check
- Duty-free items must be presented in a sealed, certified bag
- Medicines and special food (e.g. baby food) which are needed during a flight may be transported outside the plastic zip-lock bag and must also be presented at security.
Articles and plastic bags that do not meet these stipulations cannot be taken on board. Similar regulations for liquids apply to flights to and connections in the USA.
Transporting liquid duty-free goods
Liquid duty-free goods, which have been bought at an international airport or on board an aircraft outside the EU, may be carried through an EU airport if you are changing flights.
Requirement: the goods must be carried in a sealed duty-free bag (conforming to international standards) with the sales receipt clearly visible inside the bag (the bag is sealed at the point of sale).
Before your flight, therefore, please check the website of your departure airport to find out which hand luggage regulations are in force there.

25 best fantasy novels/series
Good list, bad list? #discuss

What a complete load of bull on both sides.
It's a mixture of series and books and it's focused largely on Things Wot People Read Recently. That's always the problem with lists like these. It's all comparing books that aren't alike - e.g. Feist's Daughter of the Empire with Gaiman's American Gods - so it's not like these books are being judged by the same criteria.
And everyone knows The Hobbit is better than The Lord of the Rings.

Oh that place.
If you look hard you can find a comment from me some years ago. ><
October 1st, 2012, 03:14 PM #5
Yup. That's not based off your own book appearing, I hasten to add.
I'd base a "Best Fantasy Books" list on how influential or popular a series has been, and what impact it's had. So I'd have The Hobbit, Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser and so on because those books have inspired countless writers and readers alike.
I wouldn't put Rothfuss on there (ohmahglobshe'satitagain) for instance, because it's too early to tell what impact he's had and whether the success of Kvothe is going to stick or not, and on top of that there've been two books in his series (out of three?) so it might be similar to Canavan's Black Magician trilogy in which the third book is a steaming pile relative to the first two. Martin, however, has released 5 in his (which expands to 7 in the UK, possibly more overseas) and it's been a success since the start, as far as I'm aware.

My problem is that it seems to concentrate on one kind of fantasy, heroic/epic/Tolkeinian/whatever-we're-calling-it-this-week. No Bradbury? No Leiber? No Le Guin? No Lord Dunsany? Those are gaping omissions. Also, extract Tolkien, Peake and Donaldson and apparently there was no fantasy written before about 1990.

Screw you guys, I like it. =)
No offense, but Loerwyn, your statements contradict each other. In one sentence you speak to which Series/Book has the greatest impact should be higher ranked, and in another you say The Hobbit over LOTR? While some may agree The Hobbit is a better read, you cannot deny LOTR has had the greatest impact in the history of impacts, as far as fantasy literature is concerned. Also in these rankings I consider the book to be the series. For example "The Blade Itself" is #2, so I would consider "First Law" to be #2, and they are just mentioning the first book of that series. I'd hope so anyways...
I can't agree with the whole list. But if you were recommending books to newcomers, I would strongly urge to follow this list. (Not the public version) I believe the Top5 there represents what many nowadays consider to be the top5...or at least very close.
I think some people around here, no names, are just simply book snobs. And think if it doesn't have an expert prose or amazing style it's not worthy. I can't argue much as I am very much a Beer Snob(Budweister vs A Belgium Creme Ale? Comon now.) But people like what they like. This isn't a rank of the best writers....

I think it's quite easy to construct an argument for The Hobbit being the more important - not necessarily the more popular - book.
As for the Book/Series thing - the list contained books that are parts of series (e.g. A Game of Thrones) and some series (e.g. a mislabelled Farseer Trilogy). You have either one or the other. Mixing both makes it much more complex, because you'll be comparing 200-300 page novels at times with series that are thousands of pages long (e.g. A Song of Ice & Fire and Wheel of Time), and rarely is a series consistent from book one to the final one. Just look how many people love the early WoT books but fell off or dislike the 7-9th (roughly) volumes for proof of what I mean.
October 1st, 2012, 03:52 PM #9
For the series you do have a point. I was speaking more to the 'pre-made' list not the public one. They combined some series and some left with just the first book. In my opinion they did this so it would be more recognizable. Game of Thrones vs A Song of Ice and Fire...or Gardens of the Moon vs Malazan Book of the Fallen....etc. I doubt if you went further than 25 you would run into Game of Thrones as #2 and Storm of Swords as #27...if that was the case then I would hasten to dismiss this whole list as ridiculous. =)

Eh.I think it needs some major re-working.I mean where's the Elric Saga, The Dark Tower, The original Conan stories, The Fafrd and the Grey Mouser series, The Earth Sea saga (I take issue with some of the world building, but it is influential), and Kushiel's Legacy? Some of this is based on influence, others are based on personal opinion that I have listed here.

To be fair, there's more to the site than that particular list. Many of the works or authors proclaimed to be missing in this thread are actually further down the list or on a separate category.
I mean hell, at a glance there's even a list of most influecial fantasy...for those who think that should be the "best" list.

Because Crossroads of Twilight is most definitely the worst in the series. I still enjoyed it the first time, though.
I don't really like the list. I would have expected to see books by Guy Gavriel Kay, Le Guin, Leiber, Zelazny, etc. over books such as Way of Kings, Dresden Files, or Prince of Thorns (no offense, Mark). I understand that the list is trying to include both classics and newer series, but it seems to lean too heavily in favour of the new. To each their own, I guess.

Too recent, too much of one type of fantasy, and probably too male. The tone of the commentary is obnoxious and the entire site is riddled with significant errors.

Seriously, michael, I don't know what you were thinking.
Thanks for the tests with some usable info, Marek.
If this where a CPU test you'd do the opposite, you run it at minimum graphical settings at 640x480 or 800x600, whatever the bare minimum the game will allow you to run it at to see how fast the CPU can run the game engine without the GPU being the bottleneck.
The GPU test is closer to how most people actually play their games though. I.E. as high a detail settings as possible while not falling below the 30FPS threshold where the game will get choppy and laggy.
In order for anti-aliasing to work, geometry gets scaled up to double their resolution in GPU memory. An old card, running at 1080p with anti-aliasing is absurd.. It was never done then, and no gamer is going to do it now on an old card because the framerates produced are too low to be playable and it has nothing to do with the GPU chip or the driver.
IMO, the benchmarks don't seem very useful at all.. He should be comparing low resolution + AA vs. high resolution without AA.. If high resolution looks better and is a lot faster, then you can conclude there is still some optimization work to be done in the AA.. AA has always been used by gamers as a way to get around needing to have a higher resolution display.
The only thing the benchmark shows, in my opinion, is that old cards were badly memory bandwidth bottlenecked.. Which gamers already know. When those cards were out, nobody had 1080p screens and if they did, they didn't need any AA.
Last edited by Sidicas; 01-16-2013 at 05:51 AM.
The issue is that (a) the same card produced much higher frame rates with the open source driver 18 months ago -- high enough that MSAA would probably have been useful even at 1920x1080 and (b) users are reporting higher frame rates even today which suggests it's not as simple as an across-the-board regression.
Could be that the older frame rates were wrong, or the new ones, or there's a partial regression, or some setting/configuration-dependent thing.
My suggestion is that developers issue a public recommendation/profile for Michael how to test properly and Michael reads own forums
Result : everyone happy
AMD should build a statue for Marek so everyone(incl. AMD) can ritually sacrifice him some "beers"
In fairness, we're not aware of anything wrong with the tests. The results just seem odd and we don't know why.
Agree on the Marek statue. Questions is where it should be built so that everyone could get to it. Maybe we could put a little picture of Marek in the lower right corner of the screen when running open drivers, just like the <testing> icon fglrx displays on untested hardware
Oh shit!! Now we even have Bridgman bowing to the mighty Marek!
Seriously You guys, both in AMD and independant developers, have been doing a fantastic job. I have a 6850 that I could only be slightly happier with. Keep up the good work guys.
Power management and video decode is really all thats left. Well at least for my needs anyway.
He, he, it is time for Michael to do some bisecting and not benchamarking

New York, NY (CNNMoney) — Warren Buffett is not worried about the fiscal cliff.
While it's not ideal, the founder of Berkshire Hathaway thinks that President Obama must be willing to keep pushing for higher taxes on the wealthy, even if it triggers the fiscal cliff that would lead to the automatic onset of tax increases and spending cuts on Jan.1.
The U.S. economy, he said, can weather it. "We're not going to permanently cripple ourselves," Buffett told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an exclusive interview at Berkshire Hathaway's Omaha headquarters Wednesday.
Buffett shrugged off the Congressional Budget Office's warnings that failure to address the fiscal cliff by Dec. 31 could lead to a recession. "We have a resilient economy," he said.
He also advocated a twist on the so-called Buffett Rule, which would force anyone who makes more than $1 million per year to pay a minimum tax rate of 30%.
Buffett said Wednesday that a new U.S. tax system should be progressive for the ultra-rich, meaning that anyone with an annual income of $10 million should pay more than someone earning $250,000 per year, currently the highest tax bracket for married couples.
Corporate taxes and taxes on capital gains and stock dividends could all be increased without stifling growth, said Buffett. "I lived through the 1950s and 60s with rates far higher for capital gains taxes, and corporate taxes at 52%, and our economy boomed,' he said.
Buffett laughed off concerns that higher capital gains taxes could change how individuals invest in stocks or bonds. "Never in 60 years of managing money have I come up with an idea and had someone say 'I'd do it but the tax rates are too high'."
Buffett also said he sees the economy improving and that jobs will eventually follow. During the presidential campaign, both Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney came up with scenarios for creating 12 million jobs over the next four years. Buffett wouldn't rule that out. "We will gain a lot of jobs in the next four years. I can promise you that."
Meanwhile, housing is recovering at a tepid pace, which Buffett said is the right speed. "We wouldn't want a big boom. We were building way more houses than we were creating households. Now we've created more households than houses."
The biggest drain on the U.S. economy and U.S. growth going forward is health care. "It's the tapeworm of our economy," Buffett said, noting that health care costs currently account for 17% of U.S. gross domestic product.
While he praised Obama for ensuring that all Americans have health care coverage, he something further must be done to address rising health care costs. On this front, Buffett was decidedly less optimistic. Citing $2.6 trillion in annual U.S. health care costs, compromise there will be more difficult.
"Every one of those dollars goes to someone, and they have a runaway cost problem," said Buffett.

Jimmy Page Promises Rarities On Led Zeppelin Remasters
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Jimmy Page is hard at work at remastering the Led Zeppelin catalogue and finding a string of releasable outtakes and alternate versions of the band's classics. Page, who also served as Zeppelin's producer, spoke about the technical aspects of overhauling the band's recorded output, telling Rolling Stone, "The catalog was last remastered 20 years ago. That's a long time. Everything is being transferred from analog to a higher-resolution digital format. That's one of the problems with the Zeppelin stuff. It sounds ridiculous on MP3. You can't hear what's there properly."
Page, who has previously gone on record as saying that the well was dry regarding unreleased Zeppelin tracks, revealed that the upcoming reissues will showcase the path not taken for various Zeppelin favorites: "There was an overage of material -- different versions of things, different approaches to the mixes."
He went on to talk about some of the work the band did at Headley Grange, the legendary English manor where the band lived while recording parts of Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti: "The classic there was 'When the Levee Breaks,' where the drums were set up in the hallway. You know what it sounded like -- immense -- from the recorded version. But we used the drums in the hall for a number of things, like 'Kashmir' -- some with closer miking. So there were a lot of different approaches. It will be fascinating for people to witness the work in progress."
Page wouldn't give a definitive time-line for when fans can count on the remastered and expanded catalogue being released, explaining, "You've got to get to the point where all of the members of the group are in agreement. I would hope it is sooner rather than later. But it will be in the course of next year and going on for awhile. . . This will be really substantial stuff."
Jimmy Page told us that Zeppelin's time recording at Headley Grange brought out the best in every one of them: "As far as Led Zeppelin, it was a really important time to go to this house and live there, and it's a residential recording facility, if you like, with this recording truck outside and as far as I was concerned, I knew that if we got together under those circumstances, we were going to produce some amazing work, and of course we did. It's the fourth album, quite an amount from the Houses Of The Holy album, and of course, Physical Graffiti -- 'Kashmir' was done there, as well."

Days after NBA Commissioner David Stern fined the San Antonio Spurs $250K for 'sitting their players', a photo on Reddit.com is making the rounds…and not in a good way.
The image-allegedly taken around Halloween this year- shows Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, both in costume, pointing toy guns at the head of a man dressed as NBA referee Joey Crawford, with a noose hanging overhead.
How this escaped becoming media-fodder is beyond us, but according to most threads on reddit, fans are not happy about it.
We're still stuck on the noose. The words 'NBA player' and 'noose' should never be heard together, let alone be immortalized in a photo. And the irony? Yesterday was the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery.
As always,
Thanks for reading,

How to create an IM app like kik? How to send message with wifi and network traffic? Which technology should I study?
How to create an IM app like kik? How to send message with wifi and network traffic? Which technology should I study?
You need servers (either private or in the "cloud") to manage your traffic and send the messages from one user to the other.
You need to use Push notification messages to send the actual IM so the app will get the message even if its not open.
You might also want a DB server to store user registration and details such as age, phone number, location and IM history, etc.
You also need to develop the actual Phone app for that you will need to know C# for WP and design its UI prefebly with XAML.
To get started, have a look at Azure Mobile Services...
Although the demo is for a 'todo list', you could modify it to act like an IM app with Push Notifications.
Thanks! And ... Is there any free solution of building servers and DB?
What a pity! How I wish the resource is free for longer time.
www.buddy.com serviced for free worth $1200.

I've tried it, nice. But the question is how the third server get the URI from my phone.

A Mixed Military Bag for People with Diabetes
As we approach Memorial Day and recognize those serving our country, we thought it would be worthwhile to look at the ease with which people with diabetes are able to serve in the military, and how that's changed through the years.
Sadly, the picture isn't as optimistic as we would have hoped.
While access to military service for PWDs has gotten a little better over time, not much has changed and it remains mostly hit-or-miss…

Classic Cheese Lasagna
- Servings: 8
Source: Martha Stewart Living, October 2008
- 1 pound whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella
- Marinara
- Fresh Lasagna Noodles, cut into 4-by-13-inch strips and cooked, or store-bought dried noodles, cooked
- 5 ounces coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, (about 1 3/4 cups)
Preheat oven to 375. Combine ricotta, egg, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Coarsely grate 1/2 of the mozzarella, and stir into ricotta mixture. Using your fingers, shred remaining mozzarella into 2-inch strips, and reserve.
Spread 1/2 cup marinara in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of noodles over marinara. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over noodles, and sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan. Place a layer of noodles over the cheese layer. Spread 1 cup marinara over noodles. Repeat layering (noodles, marinara, noodles, ricotta mixture, Parmesan) 2 more times. Spread remaining marinara over cheese layer, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until cheese is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

First time making lasagna ever, it was great!! Next will add in onions and basil :)
dkaluzny620 12 Feb, 2013
Fantastic recipe. In addition to making my own pasta and the recommended marinara, I made my own ricotta cheese for this recipe. I've never had a better lasagna.
I didn't bother with pre-cooking the noodles. I also skipped the egg in the cheese mixture to ensure the cheese mixture wouldn't be runny. Made this the night before I needed it, too, which is a big plus in my book!
Can't wait to make this one again.

This blog is not one of those instances.
Stalling (for the second time in one day) on a four lane road at the beginning of rush hour, however, is.
The string of words that fell, uncensored, from my mouth at that moment are too impure to disclose in this space, but, $@#%, they sure made me feel better.
I pleadingly turned the key in the ignition; eyes subconsciously glued to the rear-view mirror and the oncoming traffic behind me. Suffocating in the pollution of curses and encouraging coos mingling in the cab, I locked eyes with myself and was suddenly - regrettably - cognizant of the fear within me. There I was: terrified of being rear-ended, embarrassed by the sounds of not-too-far-off horns and furious with the "mechanic" who'd just traded me my car key for a short stack of Benjamins.
No, that's cool Mr. Mechanic; I don't care if you didn't actually, you know, do your job. Here, have some money.
It's cool.
For realz.
I promise.
I don't remember how many times I tried, but I knew - likely a short time after someone yelled some rather unkind words in my direction - that I was not capable of convincing the car to start.
After careful examination of my mirrors and blind spot, I shifted into neutral and flung open the driver-side door. But, no sooner had I wedged myself between it and the body of the car, a voice came from behind:
"Get in!"
Being so frustrated, it took me a moment to understand what was happening. But, as soon as I understood, I was granted relief like I've never known.
With hands planted firmly on the back of the car, the nameless man had already started pushing it off the road.
"Thank you so much," came my frazzled response as I ducked into the car as weightlessly as I could manage.
The exchange was so fast - too fast - and it was over before I'd fully internalized it. With nothing more than a single exasperated grunt, he'd pushed the car up a pretty substantial incline and into a parking lot.
By himself.
And as I looked in the rear-view one last time, I saw only his back as he lunged off the running board of his over-sized white truck and slammed the door behind him.
Did that just happen? I thought, confused and shocked about having my fury so suddenly replaced with disbelief. The light had been green when he'd seated himself, and he was long gone before I could completely comprehend just how much I wanted to hug him and bake him "thank you" cakes every day until the end of time.
Before I even called my [former] "mechanic," I fell into a daze pondering what I have come to consider the most profound event, thus far, of my life. I hurts to admit that I don't know the man's name or face - particularly that I won't recognize him if I ever do see him again - but I hope he knows that I am forever grateful for his kindness and the selfless way in which he helped me. On a day when absolutely nothing seemed to be going according to plan, he made me feel better. He made me feel happy.
So, when the tow truck driver finally arrived to pick up my car, I greeted him with tears in my eyes - tears of joy, of course - and with faith restored in the human race.
Maybe my wheels are toast. But, you know what? Things are all right.
Hippie Hash inspired by Fleetwood's
What? No cake? Bear with me; this is a breakfast dish inspired by another local favorite that is, appropriately, not far from where my car stalled. If you need a break from leftover cake for breakfast, give this comforting dish a try. Don't skimp on the feta! Serve as a breakfast side to bacon and eggs or as (my favorite) a meal in itself. Maybe with some dry rye on the side...
Serves 2+ as a meal. All of these measurements are to taste, by the way, so feel free to mix it up.
Printable Recipe
Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 - 1 c sliced mushrooms
2-3 potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 tomato, diced
1/2 head of broccoli, diced
Heat a glug of olive oil in pan over medium heat. When hot, add onion, salt, and pepper, sauteing until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender. Add potatoes, tomato and broccoli to pan and reduce heat to medium low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until potatoes and broccoli are tender. Remove from heat and portion among plates, allowing family/guests/self to sprinkle heavily with feta, the best cheese of them all, before serving.

4.a. Introduction to Block Devices
Block Devices
We'll take a good look at disk-oriented aspects of Gentoo Linux
and Linux in general, including Linux filesystems, partitions and block devices.
Then, once you're familiar with the ins and outs of disks and filesystems,
you'll be guided through the process of setting up partitions and filesystems
for your Gentoo Linux installation.
To begin, we'll introduce block devices. The most famous block device is
probably the one that represents the first SCSI HD in a Linux system, namely
The block devices above represent an abstract interface to the disk. User
programs can use these block devices to interact with your disk without worrying
about whether your drives are IDE, SCSI or something else. The program can
simply address the storage on the disk as a bunch of contiguous,
randomly-accessible 512-byte blocks.
Partitions and Slices
Although it is theoretically possible to use a full disk to house your Linux
system, this is almost never done in practice. Instead, full disk block devices
are split up in smaller, more manageable block devices. On most systems,
these are called partitions. Other architectures use a similar technique,
called slices.
4.b. Designing a Partitioning Scheme
How Many and How Big?
The number of partitions is highly dependent on your environment. For instance,
if you have lots of users, you will most likely want to have your
/home separate as it increases security and makes backups easier.
If you are installing Gentoo to perform as a mailserver, your
/var should be separate as all mails are stored inside
/var. A good choice of filesystem will then maximise your
performance. Gameservers will have a separate /opt as most gaming
servers are installed there. The reason is similar for /home:
security and backups. You will definitely want to keep /usr big:
not only will it contain the majority of applications, the Portage tree alone
takes around 500 Mbyte excluding the various sources that are stored in it.
As you can see, it very much depends on what you want to achieve. Separate
partitions or volumes have the following advantages:
However, multiple partitions have one big disadvantage: if not configured
properly, you might result in having a system with lots
of free space on one partition and none on another. There is also a 15-partition
limit for SCSI and SATA.
4.c. Using fdisk on HPPA to Partition your Disk
Use fdisk to create the partitions you want:
Code Listing 3.1: Partitioning the disk
# fdisk /dev/sda
HPPA machines use the PC standard DOS partition tables. To create a new
DOS partition table, simply use the o command.
Code Listing 3.2: Creating a DOS partition table
# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): o
Building a new DOS disklabel.
PALO (the HPPA bootloader) needs a special partition to work. You have
to create a partition of at least 16MB at the beginning of your disk.
The partition type must be of type f0 (Linux/PA-RISC boot).
If you ignore this and continue without a special PALO partition, your system
will stop loving you and fail to start. Also, if your disk is larger than 2GB,
make sure that the boot partition is in the first 2GB of your disk. PALO is
unable to read a kernel after the 2GB limit.
Code Listing 3.3: A simple default partition schema
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext3 noatime 0 0
# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 4294 MB, 4294816768 bytes
133 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8246 * 512 = 4221952 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 8 32953 f0 Linux/PA-RISC boot
/dev/sda2 9 20 49476 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 21 70 206150 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda4 71 1017 3904481 83 Linux
Now that your partitions are created, you can now continue with Creating Filesystems.
4.d. Creating Filesystems
Now that your partitions are created, it is time to place a filesystem on them.
If you don't care about what filesystem to choose and are happy with what we use
as default in this handbook, continue with Applying a Filesystem to a Partition.
Otherwise read on to learn about the available filesystems...
Several filesystems are available. Ext2, ext3, XFS and reiserfs are found stable on
the HPPA architecture. The others are very experimental.
ext2 is the tried and true Linux filesystem but doesn't have metadata
journaling, which means that routine ext2 filesystem checks at startup time can
be quite time-consuming. There is now quite a selection of newer-generation
journaled filesystems that can be checked for consistency very quickly and are
thus generally preferred over their non-journaled counterparts. Journaled
filesystems prevent long delays when you boot your system and your filesystem
happens to be in an inconsistent state.
ext3 is the journaled version of the ext2 filesystem, providing metadata
journaling for fast recovery in addition to other enhanced journaling modes
like full data and ordered data journaling. It uses a hashed B*-tree index that
enables high performance in almost all situations. In short, ext3 is a very
good and reliable filesystem.
ReiserFS is a B*-tree based filesystem that has very good overall
performance and greatly outperforms both ext2 and ext3 when dealing with small
files (files less than 4k), often by a factor of 10x-15x. ReiserFS also scales
extremely well and has metadata journaling. ReiserFS is solid and usable as
both general-purpose filesystem and for extreme cases such as the creation of
large filesystems, very large files and directories containing tens of
thousands of small files.
XFS is a filesystem with metadata journaling which comes with a robust
feature-set and is optimized for scalability. We only recommend using this
filesystem on Linux systems with high-end SCSI and/or fibre channel storage and
an uninterruptible power supply. Because XFS aggressively caches in-transit data
in RAM, improperly designed programs (those that don't take proper precautions
when writing files to disk and there are quite a few of them) can lose a good
deal of data if the system goes down unexpectedly.
JFS is IBM's high-performance journaling filesystem. It has recently
become production-ready and there hasn't been a sufficient track record to
comment positively nor negatively on its general stability at this point.
Applying a Filesystem to a Partition
To create a filesystem on a partition or volume, there are tools available for
each possible filesystem:
For instance, to have the boot partition (/dev/sda2 in our
example) in ext2 and the root partition (/dev/sda4 in our example)
in ext3 (as in our example), you would use:
Code Listing 4.1: Applying a filesystem on a partition
# mke2fs /dev/sda2
# mke2fs -j /dev/sda4
Now create the filesystems on your newly created partitions (or logical
Activating the Swap Partition
mkswap is the command that is used to initialize swap partitions:
Code Listing 4.2: Creating a Swap signature
# mkswap /dev/sda3
To activate the swap partition, use swapon:
Code Listing 4.3: Activating the swap partition
# swapon /dev/sda3
Create and activate the swap now.
4.e. Mounting
Now that your partitions are initialized and are housing a filesystem, it is
time to mount those partitions. Use the mount command. Don't forget to
create the necessary mount directories for every partition you created. As an
example we mount the root and boot partition:
Code Listing 5.1: Mounting partitions
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
If you want your /tmp to reside on a separate partition, be sure to
change its permissions after mounting: chmod 1777 /mnt/gentoo/tmp. This
also holds for /var/tmp.
We will also have to mount the proc filesystem (a virtual interface with the
kernel) on /proc. But first we will need to place our files on the partitions.
