Winter Vegetable and Cracked Grain Salad
I spent last week in Winnipeg to do some leg work for a story I'm working on and I was lucky enough to snag a cooking segment on CTV Morning Live. Truth be told, this isn't the best photo I've ever taken, but it was a quick snap after recording in-studio there.
(Chatting about EatNorth.ca before we head over to the CTV kitchen to start cooking. You can check out the clip here.)
There's a lot of other ways to enjoy winter vegetables than simply just roasting them and having them alongside some roast chicken or pork. This salad is perfectly filling and makes for an easy lunch during the week or something lighter at the dinner table.
Bulgur Wheat and Zucchini Salad
Happy New Year! Don't you find that when Christmas Day and New Year's Day fall in the middle of their perspective weeks, we all seem to relax a lot more over than holidays? I certainly do. Having said that, I'm back from a couple weeks of rest and relaxation (and one hell of a trip to New York City), so I'm refreshed and ready to take on 2015 as best I can.
I originally came up with this salad recipe for the Chopped Canada Mystery Solved blog series on FoodNetwork.ca last winter, but thought it would be perfectly fitting for January. A month where most of us try to eat better (or less), but still want what we're eating to taste good.
Bulgur wheat is a fun grain to play around with and nowadays you should be able to find it at most major grocery stores. So, go find some and try this salad out!
Maple Sriracha Roasted Cauliflower
Mmm…you'd have to be a fool not to be in love with cauliflower lately. I mean, it's on almost every menu in this country right now so even if you don't like it, it's certainly hard to ignore. Heck, I just wrote a piece on the humble vegetable for Food Network Canada a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I have a soft spot for it or something…
While this vegetable is definitely toting the line between being lovingly embraced and being overused, when something becomes this popular I'd like to think it forces everyone to get more and more creative with the ingredient in question. This past Monday, my friend and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for a big group of people. After the potatoes were mashed and the turkey was resting, we focused on completing this cauliflower only to be distracted by turkey carving and gravy making. So, the cauliflower may have sat by its lonesome in the oven while everyone sat down to eat, only to be remembered around dessert time.
Anyway, neglected or not during our actual dinner, this super simple take on roasted cauliflower is pretty kick ass. Just don't smother it with cheese sauce, that probably wouldn't taste so good.
'Greek' Lemon Mashed Potatoes
I really think I hit the jackpot of mashed potato deliciousness here, folks! The other week that we dare not speak of (i.e. the snowstorm of early September), everyone was forced to resort to comfort food to feel better about themselves here in Calgary.
Maple Cinnamon Granola and Start From Scratch
Now that it's back-to-school season, my Start From Scratch program is only a few weeks away from starting up. We cook a ton of recipes throughout the 10-week course, but this one for a simple homemade granola that I made originally for Chopped Canada Mystery Solved on FoodNetwork.ca is one of the first that we tackle. Granola always makes for a great start to a day, either by the handful straight to the mouth or on top of a generous serving of greek yogurt topped with a bit of honey.
I'm going to be on Global Calgary this Saturday morning talking a bit about the free cooking program for post secondary students and assembling this granola, so tune in if you're up!
Click here for more information about Start From Scratch and how you (as long as you're a post-secondary student in Calgary or Saskatoon) can apply!
Swiss Chard Stem and Shallot 'Salsa'
Now that summer is at its peak, you'll be hard-pressed to walk past a community garden or glance into someone's backyard (not in a creepy way!) and not see this vegetable growing strong and tall. While the hearty green leaves are great in a variety of ways – steaming, sautéing, left raw and thinly sliced – the stems can throw people for a loop.
I spent the August long weekend in Kelowna with some friends. In exchange for a comfy bed to sleep in, my friend Kerry Bennett and I, cooked our awesome hosts a big dinner on the Friday night. We served up a big platter of barbecued chicken, which I topped off with this fresh-tasting 'salsa'.
When chard stems are sliced thin they give a nice crunch and add a brightness, not to mention some nice colour if you are lucky enough to have a handful of the rainbow variety. Anyway, enough from me! Try whipping this up some time this week!

But seeing as how a lot of reviews say the Z2 photo quality is excellent, I can't help but think that the Z1 is equally capable of the same quality, having the same camera module inside.
I doubt sony will improve upon the Z1/S/compact's camera because they need to sell the Z2 after all.
what about devs / ports?
what does everyone think?

2015 awards open from March!
We are delighted to announce that the Irish Quality Food & Drink Awards will return this year, and be open for entries from March. They are open to all Irish retailers, food producers, wholesalers, and food service operators in both the North and South.
The 2014 Gala Awards Night took place on 11 September and celebrated the very best of Irish food and drink. Here is the official video of the night...
As former winners can testify, picking up an Irish Quality Food & Drink Award is a powerful marketing tool, with many winners using the awards' logos on their packaging and in national advertising campaigns. Entrants also find judges' feedback invaluable in helping them enhance products and launch even more successful ones.
Running these awards is only possible thanks to the support we receive from other organisations, and we're delighted in 2014 to have had the support of Benson Group, our headline sponsor. We also welcomed Dairymaid, Invest NI, MLS Labelling and Printing Systems and SuperValu who joined us as sponsor partners.
We had a trade media partnership with Retail News magazine, and formed a consumer media partnership with Easy Food magazine. The team at Panache PR are always in charge of consumer PR activity and you can keep up to date via Facebook and Twitter.
Congratulations to all of our 2014 winners and we look forward to 2015 entries!

Let Links Be Links · An A List Apart Article
A superb piece by Ross Penman on the importance of being true to the spirit of the web.
A superb piece by Ross Penman on the importance of being true to the spirit of the web.
Here's a talk give at a community event in London last summer.
Charlotte has experimenting with a nice discrete bit of flexbox on her personal site. Here she documents what she did, and what the fallback is.
Aaron documents his process of implementing Heydon's clever quantity queries in CSS.
I am really looking forward to hearing Heydon's talk at Responsive Day Out.
Results of a survey of over 1000 people working on the web. It's beautifully put together and the overall trajectory regarding responsive design looks pretty positive to me.
Hot on the heels of Github's pattern library, here's Heroku's.
Inspired by Responsive Day Out, the gang at Cloud Four are organising a one-day event on responsive design in Portland on September 25th. It's gonna be a good one.
Github's pattern library.
As always, it's great to see how other organisations are tackling modular reusable front-end code (though I can't imagine why anyone other than Github would ever want to use it in production).
The responsive BBC News site is live! Hurrah!
Here's a look at the highs and lows of the site's story, emphasising the importance of progressive enhancement and all that enables: feature detection (by "cutting the mustard"), conditional loading, and a mobile-first approach.
Practical examples showing where you can use flexbox right now, along with some strategies on how to start doing it.
A terrific little tool from Tim that puts performance into perspective by measuring how much money users are spending just to view your website on a mobile device.
The Tower of JavaScript Babel.
The slides from Katie's recent talk.
Performance is a rising requirement for building successful websites, but successful performance begins far earlier than development. So how do you get your entire team excited by it, specifically aesthetic-heavy designers?
Because in 10 years nothing you built today that depends on JS for the content will be available, visible, or archived anywhere on the web.
A terrific bit of smart CSS thinking from Heydon Pickering.
You know he's speaking at Responsive Day Out, right?
A quick drag'n'drop way to base 64 encode your web fonts so you can stick 'em in local storage.
More flexbox!
This time it's a great article by Karen Menezes filled with practical examples showing where you can use flexbox today.
A really handy interactive intro to flexbox. Playing around with the properties and immediately seeing the result is a real help.
It will come as no surprise that I agree with every single word that Tim has written here.
Lea wasn't happy with the lack of styling and extensibility of the datalist element, so she rolled her own lightweight autocomplete/type-ahead widget, and she's sharing it with the world.
When I look around, I see our community spending a lot of time coming up with new tools and techniques to make our jobs easier. To ship faster. And it's not that I'm against efficiency, but I think we need to consider the implications of our decisions. And if one of those implications is making our users suffer—or potentially suffer—in order to make our lives easier, I think we need to consider their needs above our own.
A great description of progressive enhancement.
Progressive enhancement in its basic form means not making assumptions
I think we can all agree that "isomorphic JavaScript" is a terrible name for a good idea. I quite like calling it "portable JavaScript", but here's a good case for calling it "progressive JavaScript."
(Right up until the end when the author says "But mainly, it's pretty safe to assume JavaScript will just work. Everywhere." …which is precisely the kind of unfounded assumption that leads to the very problems that isomorphic/portable/progressive JavaScript can help fix.)
Smart thinking from Sara on providing a PNG fallback to browsers that don't support SVG. Although, actually what I like about this solution is that it's less about providing PNG as a fallback, and more about treating PNG as the baseline and SVG as the enhancement (an approach that the picture element is perfect for).
We were discussing the CSS3 grid layout module in the Clearleft office today, so naturally Rachel's name came up. This is such a great resource for diving into this stuff.
A nice little pattern for generating a swish timeline in SVG from a plain ol' definition list in HTML.
You know what? Just go and read everything that Jason writes, okay?
Ruddy good stuff.
The engineering benefits of building websites with a layered approach.
Why, yes, I am talking about progressive enhancement yet again! Why do you ask?
Sensible words from Christian.
Web applications don't follow new rules.
And frameworks will not help:
A lot of them are not really fixing fundamental problems of the web. What they do is add developer convenience. … This would be totally OK, if we were honest about it.
If you insist on having "social" sharing buttons, here's a way to avoid bloating your page unnecessarily.
But you might want to reconsider whether you need them at all.
Simon St. Laurent on uncertainty as a feature, not a bug.
As much as I like "the Web Platform" sparing me syllables over HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more, Jeremy Keith is right: treating the web as a platform with all the brittle expectations of a platform is a terrible idea.
I've said it before: if your client-side MVC framework does not support server-side rendering, that is a bug. It cripples performance.
I really enjoyed chatting with the guys on the The Dirt podcast about progressive enhancement, but my goodness; it certainly sounds like I need to switch to decaf! Yappity-yapity-yap!
This is a talk I gave at An Event Apart about eighteen months ago, all about irish music, the web, long-term thinking, and yes, you guessed it—progressive enhancement.
Rushing doesn't improve things, it might even slow you down. Focusing on a few things and doing them well is worthwhile. Sharing what you learn—even while you're still figuring things out—is even better.
We hired Charlotte, our first junior developer at Clearleft recently, and my job has taken on more of a teaching role. I'm really enjoying it, but I have no idea what I'm doing, and I worry that I'm doing all the wrong things.
This article looks like it has some good, sensible advice …although I should probably check to see if Charlotte agrees.
So keep things simple. Build to standards. Use progressive enhancement. Don't try to send wheelbarrows full of JavaScript down the pipes unless you have to. Don't make assumptions.
Rob Larsen was published a book with O'Reilly called "The Uncertain Web: Web Development in a Changing Landscape". I like it:
A refreshingly honest look at the chaotic, wonderful world of web development, with handy, practical advice for making future-friendly, backward-compatible websites.
I don't agree with the conclusion of this post:
But I think the author definitely taps into a real issue:
The real problem is the perception that any code running in the browser is front-end code.
Let's face it: programming something in Angular and Ember has much more in common with programming something in Rails or Django than it has with writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
This is something we're running into at Clearleft: we've never done backend programming (by choice), but it gets confusing if a client wants us to create something in Angular or Ember, "because that's front end code, right?"
The difference between back-enders and front-enders is that the first work in only one environment, while the second have to work with myriad of environments that may hold unpleasant surprises.
I feel that the subconscious assumption that a complex JavaScript-driven web site or web app will run in only one monolithic environment is the root cause of many problems front-enders see in back-end-driven web-based projects.
Designing primarily in a laptop web browser and testing with a mouse rather than fingers may come to look very out of date soon.
I have doubts about Angular 1.x's suitability for modern web development. If one is uncharitably inclined, one could describe it as a front-end framework by non-front-enders for non-front-enders.
Smart thinking here on the eternal dilemma with loading web fonts. Filament Group have thought about how the initial experience of the first page load could be quite different to subsequent page loads.
Advice for writing Sass. I don't necessarily agree with everything, but on the whole, this is a solid approach.
It's worth bearing Chris's advice in mind.
You can now read Aaron's excellent book online. I highly recommend reading the first chapter for one of the best descriptions of progressive enhancement that I've ever read.
Good advice from Chris, particularly if you're the one who has to live with the CSS you write.
As Obi-Wan Kenobi once said, "You must do what you feel is right, of course."
Kenneth has isolated Chrome's dev tools into its own app. This is a big step towards this goal:
Why are DevTools still bundled with the browsers? What if clicking "inspect element" simply started an external DevTools app?
With DevTools separated from one specific browser, a natural next step would be making the DevTools app work with other browsers.
The motivation seems entirely misplaced to me (SEO? Really?) but never mind: the end result could be the holy grail of JavaScript MVC frameworks — code that runs on the server and the client. That would get you the reach and initial rendering speed of progressive enhancement, combined with the power of client-side application logic once the page has loaded.
Watch this space.
My contribution to this year's edition of the web's best advent calendar.
A superb article by Josh on planning for progressive enhancement—clearly laid out and carefully explained.
I completely share Bruce's concern about the year-zero thinking that's accompanying a lot of the web components marketing:
Snarking aside, why do so few people talk about extending existing HTML elements with web components? Why's all the talk about brand new custom elements? I don't know.
Hear, hear!
I'm a fan of web components. But I'm increasingly worried about the messaging surrounding them.
Some good practical advice from Tim on setting a performance budget.
Use rule-based metrics to make sure you haven't overlooked simple optimizations.
Use quantity-based metrics as guides to help designers and developers make better decisions about what goes onto a page.
This isn't a scientific data sample, but Jonathan's anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that most web designers and developers are still thinking with a desktop-first mentality. Which is crazy.
A very handy collection from Anna: articles, books, talks, podcasts, and examples of front-end style guides. If something's missing, feel free to add it.
Web developers overwhelmingly rejected the draconian error-handing of XML …and yet today, web developers are embracing that very same error-handling model by rendering everything with JavaScript.
I don't think it's the way of the web to have your site fail and show a blank screen because some third-party dependency doesn't load, JavaScript is turned off or because your developer left a trailing comma in a JavaScript object and didn't test in Internet Explorer.
Focus on what you want to learn; not what you think you should learn.
There is a lot of pressure out there: to learn new things, to spend all your time coding, to be the super developer. I now believe that to be impossible and unhealthy. It means you aren't living a balanced life and it also means that you're living under constant stress and pressure.
A great primer on using
srcset and
picture. I think I'll be referring back to this a lot.
High-level design principles for JavaScript on the web.
Yesterday, Aaron gave a great talk at BD Conf about forms. In one example, he was using
aria-describedby. I was a bit confused by the differences between
aria-describedby and
aria-labelledby, so Aaron has very helpfully clarified the distinction.
Progressive enhancement with isomorphic JavaScript, as practiced at Government Digital Services.
Angry, but true.
Don't lock yourself into a comprehensive technology that may just die within the next few months and leave you stranded. With progressive enhancement you'll never go wrong. Progressive enhancement means your code will always work, because you'll always focus on providing a minimal experience first, and then adding features, functionality, and behavior on top of the content.
This was a fun podcast—myself and Cyd from Code For America talk to Karen and Ethan about how we worked together. Good times.
The audio is available for your huffduffing pleasure.
A great technique from Heydon for styling radio buttons however you want.
Patty's excellent talk on responsive design and progressive enhancement. Stick around for question-and-answer session at the end, wherein I attempt to play hardball, but actually can't conceal my admiration and the fact that I agree with every single word she said.
Documenting common layout issues that can be solved with Flexbox. I like the fact that some of these can be used as enhancements e.g. sticky footer, input add-ons …the fallback in older browsers is perfectly acceptable.
My name is Jeremy and I am a boring front-end developer.
The Android vs. iOS debate is one hinges around whether you think it makes more sense to target a (perceived) larger market, or target one that the technorati favor. But why choose? Building a good responsive web app has a series of benefits, the primary one being that you target users on every platform with one app. Every user. Every platform. All the time. Release whenever you want. A/B test with ease. Go, go go.
Some thoughts on progressive enhancement, although I disagree with the characterisation of progressive enhancement as being the opposite choice to making "something flashy that pushes the web to it's limits"—it's entirely possible to make the flashiest, limit-pushing sites using progressive enhancement. After all…
it's much more a mindset than a particular development technique.
Turns out that Brian LeRoux and I gave the same answer to this question:
I think I just saved you a click.
I share the concerns expressed here about the "sizes" attribute that's part of the new turbo-powered img element (or "the picture element and its associates", if you prefer). Putting style or layout information into HTML smells bad.
This is a concern that Matt Wilcox has raised:
Change the design and those breakpoints are likely to be wrong. So you'll need to change all of the client-side mark-up that references images.
I can give you a current use-case: right here on adactio.com, you can change the stylesheet …so I can't embed breakpoints or sizes into my img elements because—quite rightly—there's a separation between the structural HTML layer and the presentational CSS layer.
Following on from that post of Jason's I linked to, Chris also emphasises that, for most use cases, you probably only need to use srcset (and maybe sizes), but not the picture element with explicit sources.
It's really, really great that people are writing about this, because it can be quite a confusing topic to wrap your head around at first.
It's very early days for ServiceWorker, but Jake is on hand with documentation and instructions on its use. To be honest, most of this is over my head and I suspect it won't really "click" until I try using it for myself.
Where it gets really interesting is in the comments. Stuart asks "What about progressive enhancement?" And Jake points out that because a ServiceWorker won't be installed on a first visit, you pretty much have to treat it as an enhancement. In fact, you'd have to go out of your way to make it a requirement:
You could, of course, throw up a splash screen and wait for the ServiceWorker to install, creating a ServiceWorker-dependant experience. I will hunt those people down.
Soledad Penadés also went to the Extensible Web Summit in Berlin, where she gave a lightning talk. Sounds like it was really good.
This also includes some good advice that, again, Alex might want to consider before denouncing any disagreement on Web Components as "piffle and tosh":
If the W3C, or any other standardisation organisation wants to attract "normal" developers to get more diverse inputs, they/we should start by being respectful to everyone. Don't try to show everyone how superclever you are. Don't be a jerk. Don't scare people away, because then only the loud ones stay, and the quieter shy people, or people who have more urgent matters to attend (such as, you know, having a working business website even if it's not using the latest and greatest API) will just leave.
Steve Faulkner responds to Alex's response to my post about Web Components.
Steve shares my concerns …but he still refers to my post as "piffle".
I can't win.
Alex's response to my post about Web Components, in which he ignores my excitement and dismisses my concerns as "piffle and tosh."
I gotta say: I think cautious optimism and nervous excitement are healthy attitudes to have about any technology. For Alex to dismiss them so summarily makes me even more worried. Apparently you're either with Web Components or you're against them. Heaven forbid that you might voice any doubts or suggest any grey areas.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I very much agree with Orde's framing here: I don't think it makes much sense to talk about "above the fold" CSS …but it makes a lot of sense to talk about critical CSS.
And, yeah, it's another example of progressive enhancement.
Alice Bartlett shares her experience of getting aria-live regions to work in a meaningful way.
Harry has written down his ideas and recommendations for writing CSS.
I had a good ol' chat with Justin Avery from Responsive Web Design Weekly. We talk about performance, Responsive Day Out, and yes, progressive enhancement.
Those lovely people at Filament Group share some of their techniques for making data tables work across a range of screen sizes.
Dan Donald gets to the heart of progressive enhancement:
Assumptions in themselves don't have to be inherently bad but let's recognise them for what they are. We know very little but that can hopefully enable us to be far more flexible and understanding in what we create.
An astute comparison of the early years of the web with the early years of the app store. If there's anything to this, then the most interesting native apps are yet to come. App Store 2.0?
Scott shares the code that Filament Group are using to determine which style declarations are critical (and can be inlined) and which are non-critical (and can be loaded asynchronously). It makes quite a difference in perceived performance.
By the way, I really, really like the terminology of "critical" and "non-critical" CSS, rather than "above the fold" and "below the fold" CSS.
Dave wanted to figure out if having a responsive site necessarily meant taking a performance hit, so he ran the numbers on his own site. It turns out all of performance-related issues are not related to responsive design.
Ten facets of web development that you can choose to focus on. One of them is from me …but other nine are worth paying attention to.
Zoe uses one little case study to contrast two different CSS techniques: display-table and flexbox. Flexbox definitely comes out on top when it comes to true source-order independence.
I can relate to every single word that Bastian has written here.
The longer I look at boilerplates, build tools, frameworks and ways to make my life as a developer easier, the more I long for the basics.
Turns out that the :checked pseudo-class selector allows you to do some clever interaction without JavaScript.
Some very handy techniques for working with right-to-left text.
The challenges of maintaining a living breathing front-end style guide for an always-evolving product (the Lonely Planet website in this case).
Mark Otto talks through the state of Github's CSS and the processes behind updating it. There's a nice mix of pragmatism and best practices, together with a recognition that there's always room for improvement.
A look behind the scenes of gov.uk. I like their attitude to Photoshop comps:
We don't want a culture of designs being "thrown over a wall" to a dev team. We don't make "high fidelity mock ups" or "high fidelity wireframes". We're making a Thing, not pictures of a Thing.
And UX:
We don't have a UX Team. If the problem with your service is that the servers are slow and the UX Team can't change that, then they aren't in control of the user experience and they shouldn't be called the user experience team.
Here's an intriguing approach to offering a navigation control that adapts as the user scrolls.
I'm not too keen on the way it duplicates the navigation in the markup though. I might have a play to see if I can find a way to progressively enhance up from a link-to-footer pattern to achieve this.
John peers behind the surface veneer of the web's current screen-based setting:
The challenge for us as developers and designers for the web becomes less about screens and pixels and buttons and much more about how the web augments our lives, both actively and passively; how it makes us know ourselves and our homes and workplaces and environments better.
My interest in rich client-side apps has almost entirely reversed, and now I'm more interested in doing good ol' server rendering with the occasional side of progressive enhancement, just like we did it in 2004.
This post resonates with me 100%.
Where will I be in 10 years? I don't know. I hope I still will have some in-demand skills to pay the bills. But it feels like all I see are DevOps and JavaScript, and I know less and less every day about those things.
I can very much relate to what Dan is talking about here. I have no idea what I do any more.
No doubt we'll always feel we're behind the curve as there always seems like more to learn. That's OK. No-one knows it all, but it is hard knowing what people expect of you.
With the usual caveat that I wish this were published on Craig's own site, I particularly like this passage:
Apps, too, are ephemeral. Some of the most ephemeral software we've ever produced. Ephemeral if for no other reason than because of their gated homes. Our apps cower below the fickle whim of App Store Gods, struck down for no reasonable reasons or for very reasonable reasons. It doesn't matter which, the end result is always the same: gone, forever.
A lovely little tale of empowerment through HTML and CSS.
Scott's trying to find out the best ways to load critical CSS first and non-critical CSS later. Good discussion ensues.

According to Reuters, the Oscar-winning actor submitted an open letter urging the president to stop a cycle where "bombing is answered by bombing, mutilation by mutilation, killing by killing."
"I beg you, help save America before yours is a legacy of shame and horror," Penn said in the letter.
Penn, 42, quoted Bush's declaration that the world was either "with us or against us" in the war on terrorism launched after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and said Bush was marginalizing critics, manipulating the media and promoting fear.
Those actions and "your administration's deconstruction of civil liberties all contradict the very core of the patriotism you claim," Penn added.
"Sacrificing American soldiers or innocent civilians in an unprecedented preemptive attack on a separate sovereign nation may well prove itself a most temporary medicine," he said.
The letter was signed, "Sincerely, Sean Penn, San Francisco, California."
A spokesman for The Washington Post confirmed with Reuters that it was placed by the Hollywood celebrity, who has starred in more than 40 movies, including I Am Sam and Dead Man Walking.

Alabama Supreme Court Justice Says Barack Obama Birth Certificate Would Not Stand Up in CourtSubmitted by Bob-45 on Mon, 04/02/2012 - 09:12
- Login to post comments
Even if the Birth Certificate was perfectly acceptable,
Obama still wouldn't be eligible because he doesn't meet the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement.
I have watched people even on the DP try to state that "he's a citizen", or "his mother was born here", etc.
Obviously, they have no idea what the legal definition of "natural born citizen" is, or they wouldn't embarrass themselves with such comments.
Obama is not a natural born citizen, and therefore he was not eligible to be President, and never will be eligible.
UNLESS, he's somebody completely different than he seems, and his mother and father were different people altogether. And he's operating under an assumed identity.
In which case, he's an imposter anyway. Nothing he ever signed or did in office is lawful.
How can the State Supreme
How can the State Supreme Court not have jurisdiction over their own ballot laws? That doesn't even make sense!
"You must be frank with the world; frankness is the child of honesty and courage...Never do anything wrong to make a friend or keep one...Above all do not appear to others what you are not" - Robert E. Lee, CSA
State Supreme Court says it has no jurisdiction over state law
If the State Supreme Court doesn't have jurisdiction over who is allowed on a State's election ballot, then who does?
About a month ago, I finally downloaded the Obama birth certificate from www.whitehouse.gov and opened it with Adobe Illustrator. It really does show 9 distinct sub-layers that each contain only a piece of the text or background. This thing was clearly composed, not scanned. I'm dumbfounded as to why so few others are doing this simple experiment.
I saw the latest video from Arpaio...
I was non committal to the birther issue but, after having seen some of the more recent evidence, I must say I am becoming a believer. I know and knew that we have a tyrant in the white house, a war monger and killer of women, children and American citizens. The question remains...what to do? The congress is condoning Obombya's actions in destroying our constitution. The feds at every level are in "his" corner, not the peoples'. Most of the so called "courts" make excuses to not take on the president. So what is left to do?

Drop ceiling in kitchen...Replace it or update it?
My first impression was to replace it with drywall but now that I've lived in the house a bit; there IS access to 2nd floor plumbing pipes, if need be. Taking into consideration the difficulty of installing drywall on the ceiling, I'm now debating whether or not updating the drop ceiling with new frame & tiles might be a better option. All thoughtful input is greatly appreciated!
Update it. It looks like a nice kitchen remodel hasn't been completed. Why are you concerned with access to second floor plumbing?
My only concerns with access to second floor plumbing are:
1) They're there
2) They already apparently had a leak/issue that I can see was repaired by moving the tile.
So, when you say "update it" do you mean new drop ceiling tiles or drywall it?
Generally, dropped ceilings are considered a health hazard and a pain to keep clean.
However, that perception has evolved because of the variety of "clean room" commercial applications available for residential applications.
Google USGypsum far an insight.
Would you be able to raise the ceiling if you replaced it?
The ceiling doesn't GO--surely it's not original! The cabinets look much older (and it's really a very cute kitchen, except for the ceiling).
I'd drywall it. If the plumbing needs to be accessed in the future, well, you drywall it again. :P
If you have to keep it, there are certainly less obvious versions nowadays.
Drywall it. I do understand the access thing. My DH would also be thinking about losing that access. If access is really a concern you could drywall everything but put an access panel in at a specific location that where access might be likely. Not perfect for decor but a lot better than what you have now. (no offence)
Here is a pic of an access door in our bathroom wall.
This door gives us access to bathtub plumbing.
Was the ceiling lowered because of openings made in a higher drywall/plaster ceiling because of plumbing leaks? If so, have the original ceiling repaired. In any case, remove the drop ceiling. It's taking away from your otherwise very nice kitchen, IMO.
Thanks everyone!
Looks like dry-walling ceiling is first project for this kitchen remodel.
>>>Would you be able to raise the ceiling if you replaced it?
I've had several guys in and I don't think so...It'd be nice cuz we're talking about a 7'2" hi drop ceiling.
@debrak2008: None taken ;)
>>>Was the ceiling lowered because of openings made in a higher drywall/plaster ceiling because of plumbing leaks?
Not that I'm aware of. Sadly, there is also a lot of a/c duct work up there too, which actually makes it lower than the plumbing.
FWIW...other than the ceiling, I AM pretty much panning to remodel most of the kitchen. I've already purchased new SS refrigerator & dishwasher (not delivered yet) as well as a new cook top (not installed yet)...a new range hood is being considered but double oven is staying.
The built counter top Jenn Air grill (not in pic but to right of double ovens) will be demo'd and replaced with dry bar area. I want to try to keep the cabinets, reface them and upgrade hardware, hinges, rollers, etc...) and keep layout (perhaps switch out the built in desk (left of fridge) for a pantry...this kitchen has no pantry).
I'd like to replace the counter tops with either granite or quartz, replace sink and add new tile back-splash then replace the flooring with porcelain tile...OMG the flooring I have 3 layers (original vinyl, ceramic tile, laminate you see) over 1140 square feet.
It's in every room on first floor (kitchen, dining room, den, laundry & bathroom) except the raised front entry/living room, which had carpet but now concrete subfloor. I'd like to put porcelain tile on the entire first floor. I have engineered wood in the upstairs BR's & hallway. Your thoughts on making the entire first floor all the same porcelain tile flooring....???
BTW, The current frig & dw are actually on the the concrete subfloor with the all 3 layers of flooring cut out around them. What is the issue(s) do you see with putting the new appliances where the old appliances are other than making them harder to move?

The Mysore Zilla Panchayat (ZP) will soon take a decision on demolishing dilapidated school buildings in the district to the pave way for new ones.
Panchayat president K.P. Siddaveerappa, who presided over a general meeting of the panchayat here on Tuesday, announced that the decision would be taken in a week. The announcement followed animated discussions by members cutting across party lines on old and dilapidated school buildings in several taluks of the district and the dangers they posed to students.
Intervening, Chief Executive Officer of the ZP P.A. Gopal said no-objection certificate from the engineering department concerned was needed for demolishing such school buildings. Mr. Siddaveerappa said the issue would be decided at the meeting of the ZP Standing Committee on Education and Health by involving officials from the Education Department.
The issue of road development in the district figured prominently in the meeting with members such as M.B. Sidde Gowda, C.T. Rajanna, Nandini Chandrashekar and L. Madappa questioning Mr. Siddaveerappa over the tardy progress of roadworks, particularly in rural areas. Mr. Sidde Gowda said the grant to develop roads in Mysore district was being whittled down every year compared to some smaller districts. It was down from Rs. 3.66 crore during 2011 to Rs. 3.2 crore during 2012.
Mr. Madappa suggested Mr. Siddaveerappa order a survey of roads in the district to submit a fresh proposal to the government to seek additional funds. Mr. Siddaveerappa announced that a meeting would be convened in 15 days by the Chief Executive Officer to take a decision on the issue.
NTM School
Members said the decision taken by the previous State government to handover the century-old New Type Model (NTM) School in the city to Sri Ramakrishna Ashram should be annulled and the school be retained as the ZP property. The ZP had passed a resolution in its previous meeting opposing the handing over of the school to the ashram.
Atrocities on women
The former president of the ZP Sunita J. Veerappa Gowda, who broached the subject of atrocities on women, said the police were failing to register complaints and act against the culprits in certain cases. Intervening, M. Sudha objected to the general remarks against the police and asked Ms. Gowda to specify the case and the police officer involved.
Earlier in the day, the members extended congratulatory wishes to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who hails from Mysore district, on assuming charge.
The members felicitated Mr. Gopal by offering him a plant as it was his first meeting in the Mysore ZP.
Vice-president of the ZP M.K. Suchitra was present.

A Bandwidth Efficient Pairing Strategy for the MIMO-OFDM Based WLANs
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The advanced MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) system can provide higher capacity gain or higher diversity gain in modern wireless networks. The capacity gain is achieved by interference cancelation technique to fully utilize the spatial degree of freedom. In a multiuser wireless system, the increased degrees of freedom provide the chance to select multiple wireless STAtions (STAs) to maximize the throughput. In this paper, the authors consider a scenario where the Access Point (AP) equipped with two antennas to simultaneously communicate with two STAs, each with single antenna. After obtaining the statuses of the size of buffered traffic and the achievable transmission rate, the AP should pair compatible STAs to minimize the loss of spatial degree of freedom.

MINNETONKA, Minn. (KNSI) A 21-year-old tree trimmer died from his injuries Wednesday after being shocked by a power line in Minnetonka.
The incident happened when a small branch he cut came into contact with the power line and carried electricity to the worker. The man was shocked for about 20 seconds until the branch fell and cut the electrical connection.
Authorities have yet to release the identity of the victim. He was pronounced dead after being taken to Hennepin County Medical Center.

Big's forum posts
It's up to the individual. Batman wouldn't give a rat's ass about a kid wearing a tee with a bat
on it. If he did, then he'd make up some dummy corporation responsible for copyrighting the
symbol, and then have it sue the company making the tee, or mor likely coopt it. However, I don't
think heroes would do much more than scratch their heads and go on kicking butt.
Reality is, if the comic world were anything like ours, those people wouldn't worship the heroes, but
be frightened of them. They are vigilantes with strange abilities, and somehow above the law. They
would create an uproar and it would stigmatize the notion of wearing a superhero logo on a t-shirt.
This trade-mark thing would imply that they are considered mainstream, and I believe they would be
ostracized and debated over until some conclusion was met to regulate heroes, and ultimately not
make them heroes at all. So, the issue of logos and trademarks would be moot.
Heroes in comics, just like people in real life, have many capacities but don't necessarily use
those capacities to impact humanity on a greater scale. MMA fighters are, at least, very aggressive,
and would probably do well in the marines or Navy SEAL corps. However, their inclination is to
dress up in colorful outfits and fight other like-minded MMA fighters, much like super-heroes in
comics. The intelligent ones, like Reed Richards, may see a way to battle the ozone depletion or
global warming, but I think he is more intrigued by alien invasions and megalomaniacs like Dr.
Doom than in the environment. You can argue that people like this don't use their abilities to their
fullest capacities, but then again, a lot of people out there don't. Plus, I don't think Superman's
abilities would best serve humanity by carrying passengers to their destinations. That seems a
little demeaning. Face it, these guys are rock stars. They do their thing on the batte-field against
other colorfully clad super-beings. If Superman wants to help with disarming nukes or shattering a
meteor hurtling towards earth, that's one thing, but I don't think that he's cut out for helping
customs at the airport or directing air traffic.
I like it. Trashy, classic, and modern all at the same time. It's almost camp, the way they stayed true to the comic book costume. It's bold. I give it a B+
My favorite storyline is "Death in the Family" because a hero dies and the villiain gets away. Then,
we Batman deal with that loss, and he doen't deal with it very well, until Tim Drake comes along.
I think that heroes need moments in their careers where we, as readers, see them fail. This
would make them more identifiable with the readers, since life is a series of successes and some
setbacks as well. Especially, since heroes are up against incredible odds sometimes, it stands to
reason that sometimes they will fall short of their missions.
Like you say, people look to be entertained. More so, however, I think readers look to be inspired.
The battles we see on the pages are projections of the battles readers face in their daily lives
The Joker is simply that chaos threatens existence and order. Readers can read into his persona
symbolically and apply that to the chaos in their own lives. When Batman beats the Joker, it
represents a win for readers in their daily battle with chaos and uncertainty. To see
Batman lose would be a disappointment, but at the same time, a reminder that even Batman can
fail, so we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves either.
Also, I think that the Punisher is a great example of characters that kill and yet are popular. Keep
the edge, I say. Bane is a bad-ass because he broke Batman's back, and making him redeemable
weakens the character's will and integrity as a badass. Same for Sabretooth and even Venom,
although, I think Venom is driven by a twisted hatred for Spiderman, rather than a need to be
superior or evil for its own sake, so I think that Venom gets a pass for being bi-heroic.
I think that Superman and Doomsday should have another mighty smackdown. I don't know, but I
would like to read about Superman's thoughts as he faces Doomsday again. Is he scared? Does
he have the confidence to take on a beast that killed him the first time? Or perhaps, is he angry, at
Doomsday, or himself, for dying at this seemingly retarded beast's hands? Lex Luthor, with all his
his genius and mania couldn't kill Superman, but this Kryptonian ape can, and did!? I think that
alone could fuel Superman. I think it would be an interesting opportunity for further character study
on the greatest super-hero of all time.
Jason cannot find happiness in the direction he is headed. He is, ultimately, unenlightened. That is
his tragic flaw. Ironically, however, it is this misguided perception of reality that also teaches
Batman and company that they may not necessarily have the best solution to the problem either.
Jason is around to teach the world something. It may not be to be a rough vigilante like he is, but
perhaps to remind the good guys that they can be a little too self-righteous at times. He makes
Batman question his own morals and his own actions in very difficult situations. He also reminds
people that there is an aspect to life that must be looked at. In Batman's rush to save
Gotham and the world, he can forget certain details, about his own humanity, and those around
him. In a strange way, Jason grounds Bruce, reminding him that he is human and that he can
make big mistakes, even if he is the Goddamn Batman.
Keep Jason bad-ass, it's the only way to make any of his journey worthwhile.

Fuel pressure port on Fuel rail
This is probably a dumb question but... In an effort to figure out why my 98TJ isn't starting I removed the the little cap and pushed the needle in and a bit of fuel sprayed out. With no pressure in the line I got in the jeep and turned the key and then turned it off. Went back to the pressure port and pushed the pin in and again got fuel to spray out. Sorry this is so long. Does this result indicate that the fuel pump is, in fact, working?
yes, how good, no
The fuel pump itself doesn't give a lot of problems, that test result would be good enough for me. :)

K. Lakshmi and K. Manikandan
CHENNAI: The pace of developmental projects in Chennai's suburbs is once again picking up after a lull. Representatives of various municipalities note that most of these projects that were announced in the 2009-2010 budget would be delayed by a few months.
Officials of local bodies in the western fringes of the city are busy preparing estimates for various civic works to seek approval from the councils in the forthcoming meetings. Works for which tenders have not been invited or work orders not issued were kept pending. The local bodies are taking stock of the immediate requirements in their area to expedite work.
Residents complained that even routine works, including garbage clearance, were neglected on grounds of election duty. Representatives of Ambattur Municipality said that projects worth nearly Rs. 1 crore, including roads, provision of streetlights and renovation of 19 municipal schools and ICDS centres, would be taken up soon.
Some of the arterial roads such as East Avenue, Korattur and Padi Kuppam Road, were awaiting repair. The local body also plans to purchase equipment to modernise garbage disposal in Ambattur.
In Avadi, bids received for various projects, including the ambitious water supply and underground drainage projects, could not be opened as model code of conduct was in force since early April. Similarly, infrastructure development in 18 slums under the Basic Services for Urban Poor Scheme, worth Rs. 52 lakh, also had to be postponed.
Representatives of local bodies at Valasaravakkam and Madhavaram said that since no fresh tenders were called for, many works listed in the budget would begin a few months after schedule. The local bodies also face the pressure of completing the works before the onset of the North East Monsoon.
Some of the massive infrastructure projects in this part of Chennai had commenced earlier and were in progress when the election process began. However it was the ward specific works that took a backseat after the code of conduct came into force.
The earlier routine monthly meetings of municipalities and town panchayats served as a forum for administrators to get a feedback through the elected representatives about the ward and requirements of people. Officials in local bodies around Tambaram said that they were unable to proceed with creation of parks and gymnasiums among other works since the enforcement of election code of conduct.
They said that works such as providing bitumen-topped roads, storm water drains, and additional public buildings – be it for schools or other government departments – were delayed due to the election process.

Hi. I am trying to upgrade the CPU on my M0981-1BU to a XEON 3470 series quad. In looking at the Intel specs, the 3470 supports the 3450 Chipset on my motherboard and obviously the LGA 1156 socket. The Lenovo Personal System Reference manual also lists the XEON 3450 as an available CPU on the 0981-1CU (I have the 1BU). As far as I can tell, the motherboards are all identical so it shouldn't be an issue, right ? Well I have installed the XEON 3470 and I get the dreaded 5 BIOS beep codes, which I believe mean it doesn't like the processor.
Does anyone have any experience in upgrading their CPUs on the TS200V ? Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've upgraded to the x3470 myself with no problems. You should be able to go up to the x3480 as well. I'd check my connections if I were you.
Thanks Zach. I sent the processor back to Newegg for a replacement. I checked connections and seating of CPU several times. Old processor worked fine but x3750 kept giving beep codes. Thanks for confirming it SHOULD work.
vantage - welcome to the forum!
before upgrading, make sure you're on the latest BIOS revision. it's possible that you're downlevel a few versions that might not have the microcode for the X3470, hence the beep codes you're getting. the CPU itself might be perfectly fine.
you can download the BIOS here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p

Hi Erik. Thanks.
The BIOS upgrade is the first thing I did prior to installing the new CPU. I upgraded to rev. 5JKT60A dated 02/08/2012 (I just double checked the BIOS upon booting with the old CPU) . I just tried an x3450 that I got today and I get the same beep codes. When I put the old i5 650 back in, all is well. Is there anything else I need to do to enable the motherboard to recognize the processor ? I have upgraded Dell servers before and all I needed to do was just swap out the CPUs. Is there any trick to a Lenovo server ? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Is it possible that I have to do something to disable the on-board video, as the Xeon processor based TS200v's come with NVIDIA Quadro FX 380 PCIe cards ? Sorry for my ignorance but this is my first Lenovo upgrade. thanx.
05-25-2012 02:10 PM - edited 05-25-2012 08:49 PM
are you by chance still using non-ECC memory? if so then you'll need to replace it with ECC modules to be compatible with the xeon.
scratch the above. the X3470 supports non-ECC UDIMMs.
it might help to list your exact system config so we know what you have installed.

I have a TS200v model 0981-1BU that was bone stock from Lenovo. It has no OS on it now. It has:
i5-650 dual core cpu
2 - 250 GB SATA drives
Came with 4 GB UDIMM PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
Upgraded to 16 GB Crucial 240-pin UDIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 ECC (as recommended on their site for this model). BIOS recognizes the new memory
BIOS upgraded to rev. 5JKT60AUS
That's about it. Please tell me if you need any additional info and I can look in the BIOS. I am trying to upgrade processor to set it up as a Small Business Server 2011 machine
Thanks for the help.
