text: Cakeshop is a dirty green-gray with a frosted, metallic finish. I don't find that this goes on as evenly as you'd like a cream shadow to go out–there is a little grittiness from the size of the shimmer particles in it. It reminded me–ever-so-slightly–of theBalm Run Around Rebecca, which is greener.

This week, GoGrid was not only an exhibitor and Silver Sponsor of the Cloud Connect Event 2010 in Santa Clara, CA, but also our Lead Senior Software Engineer, Justin Kitagawa, was part of a panel titled "Writing Code for Many Clouds".
The panel was moderated by Shlomo Swidler (Founder, Orchestratus) and the members included:
- Shashi Mysore, Product Specialist, Eucalyptus Systems
- Adrian Cole, Founder, jClouds
- George Reese, CTO, enStratus
- Michael Mayo, Rackspace
- Mitch Garnaat, President, CloudRight
- Justin Kitagawa, Lead Senior Software Engineer, GoGrid
- Sam Ramji, Vice President of Strategy, Sonoa Systems
Each panel member was allowed a few minutes to discuss how their service can be controlled programmatically via an API or other method. This is an important discussion point because many companies and developers are looking to build applications that span clouds. However prior to doing this, these developers must fully understand how a cloud is architected and can be utilized. Obviously, when building a cloud as a vendor, there are challenges and hurdles that must be overcome in the process. Each of the panelists discussed their design decisions and then answered questions presented to them by the moderator as well as by audience members.
As an attendee of this panel, I thought it important to present GoGrid's thoughts on our own API and how we came to make the decisions behind its development. Below is a video of Justin's presentation which covers:
- Who and What is GoGrid?
- The GoGrid Portal
- The GoGrid API
- The Anatomy of a GoGrid API Call
- A Sample API Request
- Sample Code
- GoGrid API Objects & Actions
- Challenges in Developing
- Who is the API for?
The full presentation is also available below:
If you are interested in how the GoGrid API works, I encourage you to look at the GoGrid Wiki where you can find the "Getting Started Guide" as well as the following items:
- Anatomy of GoGrid API Call
- Common API Call Patterns
- API Frequently Asked Questions
- API Libraries and Tools
- Download a GoGrid API Quick Reference Guide
- API Version Log
Also, I'm personally curious to find out if and how you are using the GoGrid API. Have you created a program to hook into our API to control scaling or deployment of servers? What about creating your own interface to our service? Please leave a comment and let me know!

And these aren't real thoughts….
Kids in a certain age-range seem to crave sugars & starches (and absolutely nothing else) so much that maybe we should just listen to them. Maybe 4-12 year old kids just need a crapload of sugar and starch, biologically (and not only that but if there's any 'green stuff' on or mixed in with or even near the rice, or noodles – or any kind of non-cheese-based sauce near it at all – this destroys the starchy nutritional value their young bodies need). And maybe by resisting all this and trying to heartlessly force e.g. vegetables, etc. on them we're inadvertently causing a national epidemic of sugar-starvation. Why aren't we listening to the evolutionary signals our kids are trying to send us? I'm actually kinda starting to talk myself into feeling bad about it.
You know how you can either buy like brand-name cereals, or generic knock-off versions that cost half or 1/3rd or 1/4th as much? I noticed that the knock-offs don't have cool stuff (cartoons, games, etc.) splashed all over the box (if they even have a box – often they're in bags). And I miss all that stuff. There's nothing to read/play while you eat! You think they have like expert comic-book authors and game-creators on staff, to create those things? Maybe that's what you're actually paying for when you buy the brand-name cereals. And, indeed, maybe they're actually a good value – and the knockoffs are a ripoff – when you factor that in. Have we all been duped by Big Generic?
The politics of marijuana legalization are strange to ponder, because often the same people who want to demonize, regulate, propagandize against cigarettes – but of course, tax them and use those taxes as crucial funding! – are the ones who want to legalize marijuana. But it's not like marijuana cigarettes ("doobies" or "joints" in the vernacular, I hear tell) are somehow wholesomey-good for your lungs, or that the arguments used against tobacco cigarettes somehow magically don't apply to marijuana cigarettes. So what's going to happen when the latter are legalized? Is the idea to legalize-and-then-demonize? Maybe there's just a dual morality at play in peoples' minds: cigarettes are evil precisely because they're legal, whereas marijuana gets a pass cuz it's not? But then what happens when it is? Or will (in a legalized scenario) Big Marijuana get a pass because (we all assume) its kingpins won't generally be easily-despisable fat bald white men from North Carolina, but rather, Birkenstock-wearing balding-up-top-yet-gray-ponytail-sporting sensitive NPR-listening hippy types from Reading, California, and we don't mind them getting rich? (At least, I think we don't. That's what it seems like.)
By now everyone has noticed that their supermarket chain wants to track all the food purchases you make. You either have a card or use your phone number and get little pseudo-discounts for letting them do it, and this helps them do data-mining. Fair enough, I suppose, but I wonder if/when the supermarkets (or whatever consulting firms they outsource the analysis to) will start to realize that the data they get just might be polluted by a load of crap? It's not like a huge amount of security or quality control is applied to this ID tracking involved. You can just borrow someone's card, or give them any old phone number (your wife's, friend's, etc); actually I often get the impression that the cashier would be perfectly willing to just let you use their phone number if it'll get you the discounts and make you happy. I even think I've had it happen. So suddenly a purchase history full of maxipads, pre-made sushi and organic-everything is buying up cheese puffs, beef jerky and a 12-pack of Cup O'Noodles. Ha! Let's see your algorithms deal with that, oh so clever 'data miners'! Don't like it?, well maybe you should never have left the cushy confines of that Operations Research graduate-school program! This is the real world!
So yeah, seriously, you shouldn't have read any of that. You just lost a few minutes of your life you'll never get back,

Re: supermarket phone numbers: just make 'em up. No need to borrow someone's. Just make them the hell up, like a hot girl at a club getting hit on by too many guys…. if you feel guilty about giving a stranger's number, then say your area code is 555. Even if the cashier is smart enough to know what 555 means, they're not going to fight over it.
Re: marijuana. I recently read a blog post which changed my views a lot: http://hawaiianlibertarian.blogspot.com/2010/12/red-pill-reality-dispelling-blue-pill.html After reading that, my mind was changed in two ways: 1. I'm not so fearful of tobacco any more, just of *cigarettes*. If someone took some home-grown tobacco leaves, and wrapped them into a tobacco blunt, I'd willingly smoke it, even though I'm very anti-tobacco in general. 2. I realize that mj legalization doesn't magically mean we'll be able to buy pure quality marijuana at the drug stores. The cynic in me realizes we'd probably get shitty "marijuanarettes" infused with over 9,000 toxic chemicals none of which are needed and none of which are present in current, black market marijuana. Ah, the powers of capitalism…
I crave tremendous amounts of illicit sex with as many anonymous women, under the age of 30, as possible.
Could it be that such cravings are also natural and healthy?
Whether they are or not, I am convinced they ought to be indulged.
[…] here and there, in exchange for the gory details of your purchases. I remind you, though, that it would never occur to me to suggest that you give them a dose of Garbage In: It's not like a huge amount of security or quality control is applied to this ID tracking […]

Six Plaguing Questions I Have About This Photo, Ca. 1986
1. Why the hell are my bangs that short?
2. What the hell am I looking at?
3. How the hell many hours did I spend in the tanning booth to get my skin that color? (hint: ask my dermatologist.)
4. How the hell many layers of blush am I wearing?
5. Why…why…why the…why the hell did I feel compelled to match my eyeshadow to my clothes?
6. Why the hell didn't anyone tell me?
24 Comments
Susan in va On Saturday, October 7 at 7:48 am
Additional question to go with #5:How the hell did you find eyeshadow to match your clothes?(Oh, wait….it was the 80's. You could have probably found lipstick to match your clothes, too.)
Jenni in KS On Saturday, October 7 at 7:59 am
I still have blue eyeliner with specks of silver glitter in it that would match that sweater. I haven't had it since the 80s, but I know it probably dates back to early 90s. Yeah, that's how often I wear makeup. Glad to see you kicked your heavy blush (or is that rouge?) and eye shadow habit. As my mom would say, "You have such a pretty face, why would you want to cover it up?":o)
Anonymous On Saturday, October 7 at 8:48 am
Perhaps you could just tell people that that wasn't a picture of *you*, but of someone in Madame Tussaud's? Given the quantity of makeup ("How the hell did you keep it all from sliding off?!?"), I would totally believe it was a picture of a mannequin, wax or otherwise… ;o)~abbey (off to hide what wedding photos I have — at least the ones that show my *head*)
wds On Saturday, October 7 at 8:54 am
I think if someone saw this photo in the UK, they might say, "bloody hell…"As they would if they saw my high school bowl cut. (please quit using that link when you mention wds… it makes me queasy)
Yer pal On Saturday, October 7 at 8:54 am
Turkey butt hell.
EWB On Saturday, October 7 at 9:41 am
Oh Ree Ree, don't feel bad. Becky has a picture (maybe her Senior?) in a red vest with a royal blue v-neck that she borrowed from her clothes savvy older sister, and she has huge hair…and I mean huge…and I do believe that she has blue eyeshadow which matches the blue stripe. You guys were twinkies!Beth
Pamela On Saturday, October 7 at 9:57 am
I don't see anything wrong with it.You were who you were, it was where it was, and what was …..Vibrant, alive, let me say that one again ALIVE, happy, pretty (it was the style then!) you should see my 60's pictures.no, you shouldn't.
Stephanie in TX On Saturday, October 7 at 10:02 am
Easy answer to all: It was the 80s. No one told you, because we ALL had bangs, that much blush, and eyeshadow that matched our clothes.
C On Saturday, October 7 at 10:08 am
I think you were looking at the birdie…
Pam On Saturday, October 7 at 10:28 am
Ditto Pamela and Stephanie in TX.?Pam
Amanda On Saturday, October 7 at 10:57 am
I very clearly remember a family picture that was taken in the 80's… and my mom was wearing too much blush and a fake smile.I might have some bribe material laying around in a box upstairs… ;o)BTW, Pioneer Darling… I think you looked radiant!
Devon On Saturday, October 7 at 11:07 am
I taught arobics in the mid 80's and probably wore the same amount of make-up and hair product during the classes! Yikes!!That look was it.. you were probably the cats meow!! Makes me wonder what we are doing now that we will cringe at in 20 years? Any why can't we see it now?
cecedon On Saturday, October 7 at 11:23 am
I have the exact same picutre of myself except I had on a black sweater (we all had to wear black sweaters for our senior picture, the studio showed up with them and we just put one on along with a pearl necklace). I even had the too short bangs. Weird.
momto3cubs On Saturday, October 7 at 11:26 am
We all looked like that in the 80's. And you did it well ;)(At least you've moved on. A lot of people still stuck in the 80's.)
M J On Saturday, October 7 at 12:55 pm
Despite the "hell" you speak of, I still maintain that you were and are gorgeous. Even with blue eyeshadow.
Karmyn R On Saturday, October 7 at 3:41 pm
Hey – at least you arn't wearing your hair in a sideways ponytail. I can't tell if you've got leg warmers on or not. It was the 80's – scary time.
willowtree On Saturday, October 7 at 4:47 pm
My answer is the same as it always is when you do these posts: Why the hell do you do this to yourself? Oh, I have one other question, did you need so see a chiropractor to get you neck realigned after this pose?
sasha On Saturday, October 7 at 5:42 pm
I would gladly trade for your hair in ANY of its incarnations.
Robin On Saturday, October 7 at 7:55 pm
"Yer pal" went the route I was headed, lol…"IN YOUR EAR WITH A WALNUT YOU TURKEY DAMN BUTT HELL ASS FART PIG DUMB". I guess this would've been said to the photographer and anyone in your path those days (for anyone joining us late in the Confessions party, go read a few entries back). Then again, like everyone said, who knew better? That's what we all looked like.The SCARIEST thing of all is ………………………………….what goes around comes around!AAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Lisa S. On Saturday, October 7 at 9:35 pm
oh none of us knew any better back then…I think you really are a lovely person so it kind of sort of works…hahahaha okay the eye shadow is a bit much but really you look sweet. Don't be thinking I'll get out my 80's picture like that….I had "feathered" hair and way too much blush too. It looked "cool" back then. (actually it looked like bruises!!!) hahahah
carra On Sunday, October 8 at 1:04 am
Well you know the answer is in your question! It was 1986! Simple. Fortunately I was born 1985 so I never commited crimes like that as I was too youg but I had my days!
willowtree On Sunday, October 8 at 5:25 am
I was just checking something, and while I was waiting for the page to load, I couldn't help but notice something in the photo. Having seen other pictures of you, I know for certain that you aren't deformed. But between the lighting and the crazy angle, that knucklehead photographer has made you look like a Klingon.
No On Sunday, October 8 at 6:48 am
Bloody hell.
big dog mom pam On Tuesday, October 10 at 3:44 pm
The answer to all the questions above is . . . . It was the 80's And they tell me that the 80's style is coming back Be afraid. Be very afraid. =) Oh, and why didn't anybody tell you? Because we ALL looked like that!

Hi all,
I lost my son when I developed preeclampsia at 24 weeks almost 2 years ago. We are ready to start trying again, but have just moved to a new state. I know I will be a high risk pregnancy, but my previous doctor did not give us much advice about how to handle the future. My question is, since I know I will be high risk, how soon before trying to conceive should I seek out a new doctor, and do I find a regular OB, or can I go straight to a high-risk doctor without having a referral for one and before any symptoms arise? Any advice is much appreciated!

Tumbleweeds Rug 1 1
gorgeous! This rug is really stunning. But it is green not gray. It's a pretty silvery varigated green. It does not go with my indigo accents at all. But it is so pretty I'm keeping it. So if green is your color, this rug won't disappoint. Btw, the brownish design color is camel, the other design is gray. The 3rd picture is more true to color. March 5, 2013

Report Marcel Thee & Tasa Nugraza Barley
Diana — not her real name — is a 23-year-old prostitute who has worked in massage parlors for more than three years. She giggled softly over the phone as she revealed that the holy month of Ramadan has affected her work only "oh-so-slightly," if at all.
Like most entertainment-related businesses, the sex industry has had to deal with the challenges posed by Ramadan. But despite the setback, the industry has managed to adapt — even coexist — with the religious holiday.
"The regular customers still visit regularly," Diana said, adding that the only difference is that the massage parlor where she works opens an hour later and closes earlier than usual.
"I think the [parlor owners] are used to taking care of business no matter what the season. Maybe they just have to give more money than usual to neighbors and security," she added.
Before the holy month of Ramadan, the Jakarta administration issued a directive stating that entertainment venues are to close their businesses on certain days.
The city also vowed to take firmer action on those who violate the 2004 tourism bylaw, which stipulates that "in order to respect Ramadan and the Muslim holidays, nightclubs, discotheques, saunas, massage parlors and bars must close the day before and during Ramadan, Idul Fitri holiday and the day after Idul Fitri."
However, reality is a different matter altogether. "It's business as usual," said Bunga, a 20-something prostitute. (All names in the article have been changed to protect individuals' privacy.)
Stories that revolve around the sex industry during Ramadan are legendary. More experienced prostitutes regale newcomers with tales of raids, arrests and jail time.
Hani, a 20-something who has only recently started working at the same parlor as Diana, said that a lot of the older girls have stories of how they know of others who were previously arrested.
She stopped short of detailing what "unpleasant things" have allegedly been done to her colleagues, but the fear in her voice was palpable, even over the phone.
Unlike Diana and Hani, Bunga doesn't answer to a pimp because she is not connected to any particular establishment. For her, there's little fear of raids.
Bunga's involvement in the sex industry started two years ago when she accepted a man's offer to have paid sex with him. She used the money she earned to purchase a new cellphone and clothes and has been hooked ever since.
As her client list grew longer, she decided to become a prostitute full-time six months ago, even renting an apartment in West Jakarta to symbolize her new life. Her work enables her to send money to her family in Cirebon, West Java.
She relies on the word-of-mouth to obtain new clients. "My satisfied clients often tell their friends about me," she said.
Unlike Diana, Bunga acknowledged that she has experienced a drop in her income over the last month. "During Ramadan, the clients still come for a visit, but there are just not as many of them as there normally are," she said.
According to her, she normally gets around four to six clients each week who pay Rp 400,000 ($44) for a one-hour visit. If she's "lucky," she gets up to 10 visitors a week.
But Bunga said that Ramadan has put a dent in her income, as "this month, I've been getting around only one to three visitors each week."
She attributes this drop in income to guilt. "I think many of my usual clients would feel guilty about committing such a sinful act during this holy month of Ramadan. So they have decided to put things off until after the month ends."
Roberto works as a pimp full-time. "I used to work at a bank before, but the salary was not good," he said. A friend showed him the ropes a few years ago and this made Roberto realize how easy it was to earn money in the business.
"Yes, I know that this is not a noble thing to do, but I guess I don't have any choice," he said.
Roberto takes extra precautions to stay under the radar, especially during this time. He makes it a point to use different aliases and frequently changes his phone numbers when transacting on online forums where clients usually look for sex.
"I can say with confidence that people don't stop looking for paid sex during Ramadan," he said. "Online sex forums are still crowded with guys looking for teens to hook up with. In these forums, men still very actively trade nude photos and call girls' phone numbers."
Roberto advertises his girls — who are mostly between 18 and 24-years-old — online and when someone expresses interest in them, he sends them a message stating rates. After a deal is made, he arranges the time and place for the meeting.
But Roberto eventually admitted that the number of "executions" — the slang used for sexual encounters — dips during Ramadan. "I usually have around 15 transactions or more each month. I've only made six this month," he said. "Many of the clients have arranged a date for after Ramadan.
"They don't want to do it during the holy month because they're afraid of karma. To me, what's the difference?" he said, with a laugh.
Benny is a father of two who regularly patronizes massage parlors. He said that he tries to cut down on his habit during Ramadan, "but it's a challenge."
"Sometimes, it's very hard to control certain urges, especially if you're stressed from work and you get e-mails from pimps offering their newest 'items.' " he said.
Mawar, 22, is a prostitute who welcomes clients at her rented house in Tebet, South Jakarta. She is one of the "items" that pimps often "sell" on Web sites.
She said that she still runs her "business" even during Ramadan, adding that "I wish I could have a holiday, but I need a lot of money for Lebaran."
Mawar said she is planning to go home to visit her family in Semarang this week and that she needs to earn enough in order to buy the gifts that she is expected to bring. "I want to buy food and clothes for my parents and siblings back home," she said.
As far as her family is concerned, she works as a secretary in a big office. "If they knew what I'm doing, they would kill me," she said.
Bunga agrees that she also needs a lot of money for Lebaran. "People may call us dirty, but we're still humans who just want to be happy, at least, even on Lebaran," she said.
"I want to buy nice Islamic clothes for my father and mother. I want to see them happy."
Although Tifatul Sembiring, Communication and Information Technology Minister, has vowed to ban all porn sites, sellers of pornographic DVDs seem to be doing just fine during Ramadan.
Doni, not his real name, primarily sells pornographic films online. According to him, the "fasting season is almost over anyway, so what if I sell [pornographic] films?"
When asked if it meant that he didn't sell any films during the earlier part of the month, he sounded irritated. "There has been no problem with sales. Everything is OK."
Vincenko, who also sells pornographic DVDs, agreed with Doni, saying that he did not notice a difference in sales over the last month. "I don't see why it would make a difference. You can watch it after fasting hour, right?"

Market regulars brave cold, get creative
Once again, our local farmers are dealing with unusually cold temperatures.
To protect their crops and livestock from the cold, farmers must take extra precautions beyond their usual work. Vegetable farmers often cover crops with special fabric or heat greenhouses. Farmers must clear the snow and ice that accumulates on greenhouses to prevent damage and possible collapse. Livestock farmers work diligently to keep their animals warm and water troughs thawed. But, I've heard that cows get especially frisky in the snow!
Over the past month, I've talked a lot about how the farmers have dealt with the cold, but what I haven't talked about is how the farmers' market patrons have dealt with it. Even on the coldest, windiest and rainiest of Saturday mornings, hundreds of Durhamites still make it out to the market to buy the local food grown and produced by market vendors. Even with the dwindling supplies of green vegetables (due to the cold), lots of people are creatively and excitedly cooking and eating what our local farmers can provide.
A couple of weeks ago, on a cold, windy Saturday morning, I ran into a regular customer named Frank. Frank and I often chat during market and that morning he was holding a medium size pumpkin. I asked him what he planned to make with his pumpkin and with a big smile on his face, he described a simple and delicious pumpkin soup of his own recipe. It sounded so good that I wrote about it the following week in the market newsletter to encourage other farmers' market patrons to cook this type of simple and creative winter meal.
The next week, I saw another regular farmers' market customer -- named Suzanne -- at a distance. We made eye contact, smiled and waved. Then Suzanne pointed at the pumpkin she was holding and gave a big thumbs-up. Later, I learned that Suzanne had read about Frank's pumpkin recipe in the newsletter and while in line to buy her pumpkin met Frank, who was purchasing another pumpkin. They discussed the soup and by Saturday evening, Suzanne had posted her version of the recipe on our Facebook page!
As the farmers work hard to keep crops alive and animals warm, it is the customers that really keep them going. We hope that you'll brave these cold Saturday mornings and try out what our farmers are bringing to market!
Frank's Pumpkin Coconut Soup
1 Pumpkin
Coconut milk
Salt & pepper to taste
Cut the pumpkin into quarters, scoop out the seeds and roast in the oven until soft. Once it has cooled, scrape the flesh off the skin and puree it. Once pureed, blend with coconut milk, warm it in a pan on the stove and add salt and pepper to taste.
Suzanne's additions -- Sauteed garlic and ginger, some curry mix, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and a bit of Thai fish sauce.
Erin Kauffman is market manager of the Durham Farmers' Market. It is open in the winter on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon in downtown Durham.

Dec. 11, 2003
San Francisco - A cold, cold first half was too much for the Lobos to overcome in a 43-37 loss to the San Francisco Lady Dons. New Mexico, playing its first road game of the season, falls to 5-3. USF improves to 4-3, staying unbeaten at home.
The Lobos fell behind 20-4 with 7:33 left in the first half, missing 13 of their first 15 attempts from the floor. UNM clawed back somewhat, trimming the halftime margin to 24-14. New Mexico shot 21% (5-23) from the field in the first 20 minutes.
USF scored the first six points of the second half to match its biggest lead at 30-14. New Mexico was down 34-20 before going on a 13-0 burst to cut the deficit to 34-33. The Lady Dons went more than nine minutes without a point during that stretch. The Lobos' leading scorer, Lindsey Arndt, sparked the run by scoring eight straight points. Arndt finished the night with a team-high 10 points, all in the second half.
The Lady Dons responded with a basket, then a 3-pointer by Carey Sauer to push the lead back to six at 39-33 and the Lobos never threatened again.
Somehow, UNM shot better than the Lady Dons, converting 29% (15-52) to USF's 25% (13-53). However, New Mexico was just 1 of 14 from 3-point and 6 of 11 from the free-throw line. USF converted 14 of 18 shots from the line. The biggest disparity was in rebounding where the Lady Dons had a resounding 51-31 edge, 19-8 on the offensive end.
New Mexico came into the game averaging 70.1 points a game and shooting 40.6% from the floor. The 37 points are the fewest by UNM since a 52-37 loss to UTEP on March 1, 1995.
The Dons were led by Sauer's 17 points. Mary Jane Krueger pulled down a game-high 21 rebounds.
The Lobos return home to face New Mexico State Sunday. Tipoff is 2 p.m.

7 Shouts - 4,450 Scrobbles
Lake of Depression was born in May 2005 as a personal solo project from Panama's Doom/Death act Spirit Of The Deep Waters' frontman Lebzul. The main idea was to keep creating deep emotional doom music while the main band was going through a period of inactivity. Lake of Depression doesn't deal with the same shamanism related topics of S.O.T.D.W. The main topics here are depression, agony, torment, and solitude, though other subjects such as the occult and obscure side of both spirit and man are also present.

Miss Janice was hanging out with her boyfriend at her home for a weekend. Little teen Janice and her man Dan was sitting on the sofa playing around at the time her mom, Mrs. Vespoli, arrived early from outside. She had left her briefcase in the living room.
Mrs. Dana, her strict parent, was pissed at first. Ms. Griffith was sucking his dick completely horribly. However when her mom saw his big shlong she resolved to direct Janice how to best make a man cum. The step daughter wasn't pleasing her bf in the sack. She detailed to Janice how to deep throat without choking.
The plan worked like a charm. The step daughter was happy and so was her young friend. Not only did the step daughter orgasm but so did her step mom.

I bought these for our employee luncheon to use as a gift for our employees. i created a new insert with our bank's colors, logo, and saying "Your Input Helps Us Grow". We then put a plant in it and it was a creative, useful gift that everyone loved. And it was relatively inexpensive for us and that didn't require a lot of time to prepare. All of the pots came in perfect condition and seem to be very durable. I would highly recomend this product!

1 cup Wehani brown rice (see Cooking Tips) or brown basmati rice
2-2 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons cumin seeds or 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
1 large clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 15-ounce cans pinto beans, rinsed
8 scallions, trimmed and sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium bell pepper (green, yellow, orange or red), chopped (about 1 cup)
Combine rice and water (2 cups water if using brown basmati) in a 3-quart saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat; let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Spread the rice out on a large baking sheet until cooled to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast cumin in a small skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes for seeds, 1 minute for ground cumin. Transfer to a blender or food processor and let cool for several minutes. Add oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper and process until the garlic is finely chopped.
Wehani rice, an aromatic brown rice related to basmati, has a sweet, nutty flavor, a light reddish color, and splits like wild rice when cooked. It can be found in the health-foods section of large supermarkets or at natural-foods stores.

Kottayam Style Fish Curry / Meen Vevichathu
This is my mother's recipe for the spicy and extremely tasty Kottayam style fish curry. This fish curry can be left outside for 1-2 days and tastes better the next day. My fish curries were always a flop until I tried this recipe. Those of you who have never had success with a fish curry will find this recipe really useful. Do try it out sometime and tell me how you liked it. It goes very well with rice/ kappa puzhukku/ idli/ dosa.
- Fish – 3/4 kg (I used salmon fillets. Clean and cut the fish fillets to medium-small sized pieces)
- Ginger – 2 tbsp, thinly sliced or chopped
- Garlic – 2 tbsp, slice if the garlic flakes are large
- Shallots – 5-6, thinly sliced (Optional)
- Green chilies – 2, slit (Optional)
- Kudam puli – 3 or to taste (Wash and soak them in 1/2 cup warm water for at least 15 mts. Tear into smaller pieces)
- Curry leaves – 2 – 3 sprigs
- Chilly powder – 2 – 2.5 tbsp (Adjust according to your spice tolerance. You can use Kashmiri chilly powder to make it less spicy.)
- Coriander powder – 1.5 tbsp
- Fenugreek powder/uluva podi – 1/4 tsp
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
- Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
- Dry red chilies – 2 – 3, broken
- Coconut oil – 1.5 tbsp or as required (Use more oil if you are not using coriander powder)
- Salt – To taste
- Water – 1.5 – 2 cups or as needed
1. Make a paste of the chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and fenugreek powder in little water(around 1.5 – 2 tbsp) and keep aside.
2. Heat coconut oil in a claypot/meen chatti or a deep pan at medium heat and splutter the mustard seeds. Fry the dry red chilies and add the ginger, garlic, pearl onions, green chilies and saute until they turn golden. Bring down the heat and add the curry leaves and the chili-turmeric-coriander-fenugreek paste. Saute for a minute (take care not to burn it) or until the oil starts appearing on the surface. Now add about 1.5 – 2 cups water, salt and the kudam puli pieces along with the water in which they were soaked. Bring it to a boil, check for salt and add the fish pieces.
3. After adding the fish pieces swirl the clay pot to mix everything well. Bring to a boil and cover with a lid. Cook at medium-low flame. Remember to rotate the meen chatti or pan every 6-8 mts. It generally takes less than 20 – 25 mts to cook the fish.
4. Cook until the fish gets done and adjust the gravy according to your consistency. Taste-check the gravy, if it tastes very sour, remove one or two kudampuli pieces. Add some curry leaves and switch off. Add a tsp of coconut oil for an extra taste and aroma. If there is a lot of gravy, cook for a few more minutes at medium flame without covering it. Serve with hot rice, kappa puzhukku or even idli/dosa. This tastes best after one day.
1) You can also add shallots along with ginger and garlic but remember to fry them until golden, In order to increase its shelf life.
2) You could also arrange the fish pieces on lots of curry leaves in a meen chatti and make the gravy in a separate pan. Once the gravy is prepared pour it over the fish pieces and cook.
3) If you prefer a thick gravy, you can add around 1 – 1.5 tbsp coriander powder for this curry. But in order to increase its shelf life, avoid adding it.
4) You can try this fish curry with any fish you prefer.

BlackBerry Curve 3G and Pearl 3G Heading to AT&T This Holiday Season
RIM's BlackBerry Pearl 3G, which was announced some time ago, has been a no-show (here in the States) for quite some time. But it looks like AT&T is about to make that change, as the second largest wireless carrier in the United State has just announced that the device, along with the BlackBerry Curve 3G, are heading to their retail shelves this holiday season. The Pearl 3G will actually be available before the Curve 3G, and interestingly enough, neither device will require you to send in a mail-in rebate.

Patristic Christian Views on Poverty and Hunger
[2] Care for the poor and hungry was part of Christian "liturgy" (meaning both worship and service) from the beginning. According to Justin Martyr (Apology 1.67), Sunday services in second-century Rome included a collection for the poor, funds used to care for orphans, widows, the sick, prisoners, strangers, and "all in need." The Didache (13.4–5) also mentions regular food collections for both the clergy and the poor as part of worship. 1 Clement (55.2) famously claims that some sold themselves into slavery in order to feed others.4
[4] The more common distinction was between "worthy" and "undeserving" beggars. In third-century Syria, widows and orphans were "worthy" of church support and were expected to pray for their benefactors. Donors, too, needed to be "worthy"; the Didascalia Apostolorum condemned donations that had been earned by immoral means lest they taint the praying widow when God failed to honor her prayers but instead avenged the donor for his (or her) sinfulness.7 Yet even gifts from sinners were accepted. Sometimes this was because their intent and desired relationship with God represented proper repentance. In other cases, Christians eager to channel riches into relief activities were not above tricking unrighteous misers into anticipating "profit" from an investment without quite making it clear that only in heaven would they see their gains.8 Early Christian texts consistently tried to literally "scare the hell out of people" by citing the threat of Matthew 25:31–46, the parable of the sheep and the goats, that God will justly reward (or condemn) those who do (or do not) give to Christ in the bodies of the poor here and now. The Reformers' understanding of this "Christ-poor," quoted above, reflects a similar literalism unrelated to any positions on the doctrine of salvation by faith. Regardless of one's grounds for salvation, that is, Christ was to be recognized — and touched — in the bodies of those in need.
[5] Early Christians were divided on many details about divestment. Some, like St. Anthony, took literally the Gospel teaching to give everything away and choose voluntary poverty. Others, like Clement of Alexandria, taught that what mattered most was detachment: there was nothing wrong with retaining the wealth and social status that allowed one to maintain one's own household and dependents as long as one's focus and true attachments were centered in Christ and the hope of gaining "true" spiritual wealth.9 By the fifth century, even monastics usually worked at various tasks to support themselves, often sharing sacrificially with others, including wandering non-monastic beggars. Basil, bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, described below, advanced what was for many a "moderate" patristic advice: that ordinary Christians ought to keep their personal possessions to a bare minimum, always ready to share, but they might also retain power over property and goods in a manner that treated equally the needs of the body and the needs of the soul.
[6] During famine and drought in the 360s, Basil was eager to take advantage of the church's newly acquired political power to show that church-supported care for strangers was good for the city. He established the best-known early Christian poorhouse/hospital (Greek: ptochotropheion), spending his wealth to buy up local grain from rich landowners and distribute it to the starving poor.10 He built an institutional complex at the edge of town that offered medical care, housing, job training, and transportation to the sick and destitute crowding into the region. The poorhouse was so successful that Gregory of Nazianzus called it the "new city." Basil's entire family took part in relief efforts. His siblings Macrina and Peter also distributed grain, and Macrina sought out homeless women to share her ascetic household. Another brother lived in the woods, providing food for some elderly persons. Basil's sermons and letters from this period call for economic justice, fair distribution of goods, and condemn the luxurious greed of the rich. While Basil focused on those we would call the "working poor," Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory of Nazianzus offer vivid descriptions of sick and homeless street people, ostracized "lepers" who subsisted in dehumanizing conditions at the edge of civic boundaries.
[7] Most social welfare, by the Cappadocians and others, was in the form of charitable gifts rather than education opportunity or capacity-building empowerment. Graeco-Roman culture was static, lacking a concept of democratic equity beyond one's fixed social class. Patronage ruled all relationships, including charitable exchange with the poor and hungry. In a world without refrigeration, electricity, antibiotics, or vitamins, food security depended on wealth, position, and relationships, and illness was a constant risk for all. Maternal and child mortality rates were high, and women had to depend on family and patronage structures (including the patronage of bishops, monks, and magistrates) to protect their possessions and their interests. Gift exchange that generated perpetual interdependencies was a logical means of social welfare in such a world. "In addition, Christian alms (Greek eleemosyne) was also understood by many as part of mercy (Greek eleos)."11 Fueled by emotive "pity" and "charity," such mercy, then as now, likely often perpetuated patronage at the expense of human dignity for the poor. While early Christian texts often place the poor and needy much closer to God than their rich and snooty philanthropists, the "Christ-poor" still had little power to change their lot in this life beyond practicing what generosity they could with their own limited resources.
[8] Despite the emphasis on patronage, language about justice, equity, and human rights was central to many fourth and fifth-century Christian social welfare texts. This strong focus on fairness rather than feelings is important for the modern reader who wishes to learn from such texts today. The Cappadocians, for example, emphasized the common humanity and equal "rights" (or entitlements) of both poor and rich. Gregory of Nazianzus (Oration 14.24–26) exhorts his audience to imitate God in treating all persons with equity, or equality of rights (isonomia). The poor are identified as having equal worth, due the same honor as everyone else. Basil called sharply for debt-forgiveness and an end to the cancer-like growth of usury.
[9] This focus on justice is explicit in early Christian texts in Syriac, where the word for alms is identical to the word for justice. Syriac writers like Aphrahat (fourth century), Rabbula, bishop of Edessa (fifth century), and Jacob of Sarug (sixth century) all appeal to justice (Syriac zedqto) as the basis for relieving poverty. This root word has the same parallel meaning in Hebrew and Arabic; in modern Jewish philanthropy, tzedakah means both charity/alms and righteousness; and in Arabic sedaqa, usually translated almsgiving, is one of the five pillars of Islam. Jacob of Sarug and the Cappadocians went so far as to argue that failure to "do justice" to the poor had global and even environmental consequences that could destroy the earth itself.12
[10] Then as now, individual lives were helped one person at a time, but the larger problem of poverty was perpetual. By the sixth century, much social welfare was institutionalized by Christian emperors in addition to individual examples mentioned in passing in monastic and hagiographic texts. We hear, for example, about state- or monastery-sponsored institutions that housed specific types of poor persons: abandoned infants, orphans, the sick, "lepers," monks who had gone insane, and the destitute elderly. Many of these institutions (particularly orphanages) continued in the Greek east up to the Crusaders. Social structures were less stable in those regions affected by the Gothic, Persian, and Islamic invasions of the fifth through seventh centuries, and initiatives often depended on particular bishops or the presence of monastic foundations and private donors. Hospitals continued to be run by monks and bishops and focused medical care on those too poor for private doctors at home.13 Not all of these models inspire: We know from Gregory the Great's Epistle 9.24, for example, that this bishop purchased pagan slaves in 599 for the church at Rome so they could do the dirty work of caring for the church-supported poor.
[11] Early Christian texts on poverty and hunger are well worth reading today, and many are available in English. They offer us voices of our spiritual "kin" from a different time and place who faced many of the same problems that we do. Their responses may be useful as we pray, contemplate need, share with the poor, and "do" the liturgy of service, especially if we draw on such texts with due caution in order to avoid perpetuating their mistakes. We must recognize, for example, the limitations of their framework (patronage, slavery), their failure to empower social change, and their all-male blindness to the effects of poverty as it was (and is) suffered disproportionately by women. We must also avoid treating such sources as if they are a canonical "fix-all" ideal. Like us, their authors argued among themselves, struggled with limited resources, and differed about who was "worthy," how much to give, and what responses worked best. Indeed the variety of their voices can encourage us in our own contemporary efforts at global inter-faith dialogue as it relates to treating the bodies of the poor and needy as global and sacred space.14

Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities (NUREG-0586, Initial Report)
On this page:
Download complete document
Publication Information
Date Published: August 1988
Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Washington, DC 20555-0001
This final generic environmental impact statement was prepared as part of the requirement for considering changes in regulations on decommissioning of commercial nuclear facilities. Consideration is given to the decommissioning of pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, research and test reactors, fuel reprocessing plants (FRPs) (currently, use of FRPs in the commercial sector is not being considered), small mixed oxide fuel fabrication plants, uranium hexafluoride conversion plants, uranium fuel fabrication plants, independent spent fuel storage installations, and non-fuel-cycle facilities for handling byproduct, source and special nuclear materials. Excluded here from consideration for regulation change, are decommissioning of low-level waste burial facilities, high-level waste repositories, and uranium mill and mill tailings piles, which are covered in separate rulemaking activities, and decommissioning of uranium mines which are not under NRC jurisdiction.
Decommissioning has many positive environmental impacts such as the return of possibly valuable land to the public domain and the elimination of potential problems associated with increased numbers of radioactively contaminated facilities with a minimal use of resources. Major adverse impacts are shown to be routine occupational radiation doses and the commitment of nominally small amounts of land to radioactive waste disposal. Other impacts, including public radiation doses, are minor. Mitigation of potential health, safety, and environmental impacts requires more specific and detailed regulatory guidance than is currently available. Recommendations are made as to regulatory decommissioning particulars including such aspects as decommissioning alternatives, appropriate preliminary planning requirements at the time of commissioning, final planning requirements prior to termination of facility operations, assurance of funding for decommissioning, environmental review requirements.

DES MOINES, Iowa A mild summer across much of the nations heartland has provided optimum growing conditions for the nations corn and soybean crops. Pair that with high-yield seeds and other new farming technologies, and the U.S. is looking at busting records come harvest time.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture already has predicted a record soybean crop of 3.8 billion bushels. And the corn crop, it said in July, would be large but not bigger than last years record of 13.9 billion bushels.
However, many market analysts and some farmers expect the USDA to revise expectations upward in a report based on field surveys thats due out Tuesday.
Conditions look just fantastic across most of the country, Texas A&M University grain marketing economist Mark Welch said.
In a typical growing season, at least some corn-growing states would have experienced drought or other production problems. But the 18 states that grow 91 percent of the nations corn have experienced nearly ideal conditions this year, as adequate rain fell when plants emerged and cooler summer temperatures minimized heat stress.
Thats the case in Illinois, one of the nations top corn and soybean states.
Illinois has largely been dealt to date pretty close to a royal flush on weather and Im sure that the yields are going to be very high here, said Scott Irwin, a University of Illinois professor of agricultural and consumer economics.
The expected large harvest has driven corn and soybean prices significantly lower, but it isnt expected to make much of a short-time difference in consumer food prices. However, since the grains are staples in livestock feed, lower prices could eventually lead to a decline in the cost of beef, pork, chicken and milk.
Eventually the economics will feed through but I wouldnt expect much relief in 2015 yet. It just takes time to go through the systems, Irwin said.
Weather doesnt deserve all the credit for the amount of grain farmers are getting from each acre this year.
Agriculture companies have developed genetic characteristics in seeds that allow plants to be packed more densely per acre and arm them with resistance to drought, disease, and pests. In addition, larger planters and tractors equipped with GPS programs can run at night if needed, helping farmers adjust planting when weather delays field work.
When conditions are right we have the ability to get in and get that crop established so much more quickly than we could in the past ... Welch said. Were just creating an environment that when the weather cooperates were capturing more of the potential and the possibilities genetically that are within that corn plant.
During the lifetime of the average U.S. farmer, whos 58, corn yields have more than tripled from a national average of 44 bushels per acre in the 1950s to nearly 150 bushels per acre in recent years.
Average corn yields set a record in 2009 with 164.7 bushels per acre. The USDA previously estimated 165.3 bushels per acre this year, and some analysts are speculating about exceeding 170 bushels per acre.
The record soybean yield also came in 2009, an average of 44 bushels per acre for a 3.36 billion-bushel harvest. The USDA expects a national average of 45.2 bushels per acre and a crop of 3.8 billion bushels this fall.
Wayne Humphries, who farms about 1,000 acres in southeast Iowa, recently attended a National Corn Growers conference in Washington. Whats unusual about this year, he learned, is that farmers who irrigate dry areas of Nebraska and Texas didnt turn on the water until late last month -- weeks later than normal.
People were there from all over in corn-producing states and they said it just looks really good, he said.
The downside of a bumper crop is depressed prices for the farmers haul, meaning they could break even or lose money.
The price for corn scheduled for December delivery, widely considered a benchmark, was $3.66 per bushel Friday. Thats at least 50 cents a bushel below what most farmers spent on seed, fertilizer, pest- and weed-control chemicals and fuel. Some farmers will store grain and sell when prices improve, while others may use a portion of their federal crop insurance that kicks in when prices fall below certain thresholds.

A Democratic congressman compared the NCAA to the Mafia over how it controls the lives of student athletes.
"I think they're just one of the most vicious, most ruthless organizations ever created by mankind," Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush said of the NCAA at a congressional forum on college sports Tuesday. "I think you would compare the NCAA to Al Capone and to the Mafia."
Rush made the accusations at the forum called to look at the impact of "back-room deals, payoffs and scandals" in college sports. The congressman spoke after hearing from a couple of mothers of former student-athletes who complained of ill treatment by schools after their sons suffered injuries.
"Congressman Rush obviously doesn't know the NCAA," Bob Williams, a spokesman for the organization, said in an email Tuesday night. "The NCAA and its member institutions provide over $2 billion per year in scholarships, financial assistance and academic support to student-athletes ... second only to the federal government. Student-athlete success is our mission."

Technical schools are seeing their enrollments rise as many recognize that their former occupation either no longer exists or exist at a markedly lower pay scale.
