There's still rubble in Berlin where grand buildings once stood, before they were destroyed by the bombs of World War II. I came upon those lots, block after block ofthem, last summer. It was my first tangible evidence of the war that defined my family, in a country that had so occupied my imagination that it became the bogeyman of my childhood. Yet there they sat, not at all what I had envisioned: those once-beautiful structures turned to dusty piles of rocks.
My mother and father were Jews who narrowly escaped from Hitler's Germany. I grew up with the Holocaust as my bedtime story. My parents wouldn't teach me the language and never spoke it in public. They refused to buy a German car. When I was 11, my sister and I gave my father a shirt for his birthday; noticing on the label that it was made in Germany, he ceremoniously dumped it in the garbage.
As a child, I was embarrassed by everything German, and I strove to be an all-American girl. As an adult and a novelist, however, I've found myself obsessively delving into that country and my past. Yet before my trip to Berlin, I'd spent only 48 hours in Germany. That was 30 years ago, when my parents were still alive and my sister and I persuaded them to show us their hometown of Kaiserslautern, 400 miles southwest of Berlin. If a trip could be characterized as bipolar, that one was it. The first day, my parents were moved to tears by the beauty of the Black Forest and the apfel kugel that tasted just as they'd remembered. The second day, we went to a nearby village to find my grandmother's house. When we asked an old woman if she could point it out, she shouted to her husband in German, "Where was the Jew house?" We packed up and left the next day.
The Kaiserslautern of my parents' childhood was a little village. To them, Berlin had been the big city, and whenever they referred to a Berliner, they did so in a tone that implied the person was a snob and "not one of ours"—much the way many Americans speak about New Yorkers. The main character of the historical novel I'm writing feels the same way. As he observes in 1931, before leaving the city to return to Frankfurt, "With its clubs and beer halls, and massive buildings cluttering the skyline, Berlin was a loud and crushing city. Even the way Berliners talked—fast and directly—was harsher than the roly-poly cadences he was used to back home."
When I finally decided it was time to confront my family's history firsthand, I told myself I was going to Berlin, the epicenter of Nazi Germany, to do research that would fill out the descriptions in my book. But whom was I kidding? From the moment I got on the Air Berlin plane and was served dinner to our last night, when my husband and I ate in one of the fine restaurants in town, I kept looking over my shoulder and seeing my parents watch me in disbelief at the respectful way I was being treated and that I was there at all. In hindsight, I realize the itinerary I chose for our five-day trip was one they would have picked. Was I following them or they me? Sometimes it was hard to tell.
All the books I've read about Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s depict a bustling city with overdressed Baroque buildings, gleaming church spires, outdoor cafés. The women wore cloches, the men top hats. Daimler-Benz automobiles clogged the streets, and everywhere there were dance halls, tawdry cabarets and . . . well, you've seen the old movies. Of course, those films were all in black and white, and in the way that imagination sometimes trumps reality, I was shocked to find Berlin in living, sometimes lavish, color.
In its heyday, the Potsdamer Platz was the center of the city's celebrated nightlife. Now the plaza, hypermodernized, is dominated by a glass-and-steel structure that houses the Sony Center and various shops, cafés and movie theaters. Standing under its glass tent ablaze in neon, I felt as if I were aloft in a giant hot-air balloon.

Adele's probably going to hold next May inside her hand, playing it to the beat of her new, as-yet-untitled album. Prepare for more music industry salvation! Or at least a lot of empowering songs.
Here's what we know about Adele's upcoming album so far, based on an interview in The Sun:
- Adele wants Harold Bishop–a character on the Australian soap opera Neighbours played by Ian Smith–on her album, specifically for his tuba prowess. There's no word on whether this'll actually happen, but is it really that much more improbable than Lady Gaga snagging saxophonist Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band? In case you're not an Australian soap devotee, here's who Adele's talking about:
- In non-tuba news, Adele's written at least five songs including one upbeat "girl power" track. Cue Popdust speculation: could this be a "Run the World (Girls)" cover? Or is she going vintage with the Spice Girls or even Shampoo? OK, Adele never said it was a cover. But think of what could be!
- There is at least one cover, though: INXS's Donnie Darko-approved "Never Tear Us Apart," one of Adele's favorite songs. It's a good choice for her, too, with drama built in from the first swelling seconds and plenty of chances to belt. Listen to INXS's version below–can't you hear it?

Asharq Al-Awsat Talks to Senior Ulema Council Sec-Gen Dr. Fahd al-Majid
May 23, 2010
By Turki Al-Saheil
[Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat] - Using the "chaos theory" in Physics, the secretary general of the Council of Senior Ulema - a position that is occupied by a person that is an expert in Muslim jurisprudence - tried to highlight the dangers of financing terrorism. The council criminalized this issue in April based on evidence in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The theory says: "A butterfly flapping its wing in one corner of the world may lead to turbulence in another part of the world". Dr. Fahd al-Majid, the Secretary General of the Council of Senior Ulema, thus concluded that "one man can carry out a terrorist operation alone".
The decision to criminalize the funding of terrorism that the Council of Senior Ulema reached was not the first in the context of criminalizing terrorist acts in general. But it was considered the first since the Al-Qaeda organization launched its activities in Saudi Arabia on 12 May 2003. In an exclusive interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, the secretary general of the Council of Senior Ulema praised the way that the political leadership used to manage the terrorism issue. He said: "Had it not been for the successes that God Almighty provided us and had it not been for the wisdom of the leadership in dealing with the issue of terrorism, our situation would have been different from what it is now. Praise be to God Almighty, we are now enjoying security, stability, comprehensive development, and ongoing progress".
The Council of Senior Ulema had issued its first decision condemning terrorism 22 years ago. The Secretary General of the Council of Senior Ulema found fault with those that say that the council was late in criminalizing terrorism. He said, "The Council was not late in criminalizing this evil phenomenon. In fact, it played a leading and pioneer role in warning and cautioning against it before it became an international and local phenomenon". Dr. Fahd al-Majid added that the recent decision that the Council of Senior Ulema issued criminalizing the financing of terrorism is "focused specifically on prohibiting and criminalizing the financing of terrorism in any form or on any level or in any way". The Secretary General of the Council of Senior Ulema went on to say that "the financier of terrorism is more often than not more dangerous than the actual terrorist, since without funds, schemes fail and such things do not materialize".

Which is the right order for arranging buttons in a dialog box?
closed as primarily opinion-based by poke, meagar♦ Jan 4 at 14:53
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Jakob Nielsen (usability guru) has written an article about this very subject.
It's a good article, but it essentially boils down to making sure you're consistent (within your application, with the host operating system, and with your users expectations)!
Depends on the platform, most desktop environments have Human Interface Guidelines (HIGs) that will define what the standard is. Always follow the platform standard: conventions and consistency always win.
Some HIGs:
You should try, whenever possible, to use verbs instead of OK/Cancel. When closing an unsaved document it should be Save/Don't Save or if an error pops up it should be Continue/Cancel etc.
And for crying out loud, make sure you use OK, and not Ok.
The only correct answer, as others have pointed out, is to follow your operating system's conventions and guidelines.
Depends on if you use windows or mac.
IIRC, Windows guidelines suggest OK-Cancel, whereas Apple recommends Cancel-OK
The order doesn't matter, all it matters is that it's consistent. Follow the platform guidelines if there is one, if not, at least be consistent within your own app.
One thing that is important is to have the default answer appropriate to what you're asking. If you're asking "Are you sure you want to quit?", after the user selected "file/quit", the 'yes' should be the default. If you're asking "Are you sure you want to format the entire drive?", the default should always be 'no'.
:) OK Cancel
Be consistent with your environment.
But if you have a choice, use specific words in the dialog box, not "OK" and "Cancel" or "Yes" and "No", so that the user doesn't have to figure out what you mean by "OK"...and you can put the answers in the order that makes sense for your app and users.
Cross-platforms toolkits like Qt handle that for you. From Qt doc: "The order of the buttons on screen is platform-dependent. For example, on Windows, Save is displayed to the left of Cancel, whereas on Mac OS, the order is reversed."
Although it depends on the platform (and thus on the user habit), with an ergonomics approach Cancel-OK is the most effective way, as stated in an article by UX Movement:
Why 'Ok' Buttons work best on the right
1) Less visual fixations
2) Maps to the expected button functions
3) Gives users a more efficient task flow
Use the verb names directly. Rather than Do you want to save changes? - YES/NO? Prefer, What do u want to do? Save/Don't Save.
Check out my post for more details... http://blog.mugunthkumar.com/tech/elements-of-usability-design-okcancel-vs-cancelok-is-it-just-a-matter-of-taste/
To me it does not matter to much about the order. It is all about consistency. If you do it OK-Cancel it should be that way throughout your entire app.
Though it is hard to stay consistent with everything since Microsoft can not stay consistent. They have so many different orders and buttons its a little silly.
I think OK-Cancel. Because you want the affirmative answer first? "Yes-No" not "No-Yes", right?
OK is the default, and most left-to-right languages expect the default first, so OK, Cancel.
For right-to-left languages it's Cancel, OK.
As others have said, match the environment of your application. There is one gotcha to this though, the web. What's correct there if you have an in page form or AJAX dialog?
I'd in that case say.. match your environment! Detect the user's operating system through the browser and provide CSS with both orders depending on what they are running.
One reason for placing the affirmative choice first is to allow keyboard navigation to work faster for the default case - one less tab keypress on every operation that throws up this dialog could save some annoyance for the users.
Having said that, you're probably best off following everyone else's advice and going with consistency.
You probably shouldn't be using OK/Cancel or Cancel/OK because it's not a very good description of what's going on.
However, assuming that the words themselves are not the essence of your question, but you're actually answering any affirmative/negative style question in a form:
It really depends on the location of your other affirmative answers. Imagine that you're going through a form, and like most forms all of your affirmative responses are on the right (Continue, Edit, Print, Order and so on), and all of your negative responses are on the left (Cancel, Go Back and so on), you can't reverse the process on individual pages.
I'd argue that it's more important to worry about which option will be selected when the user hits enter. I would say that you should have it set to whatever the user is most likely to select (assuming they're doing so purposefully that is).
You should always utilize "The Power of Sameness". Do things exactly like everyone else is doing so that your users don't need to learn a new user interface. Otherwise your users will hate you and use your competitor's product. Break this rule only if you have a really good reason.
Like others have said, it really depends on your platform.
The best way to find out is to look at a few applications that come with your operating system and see how they lay out their buttons.

Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb Will Give 2014 Commencement Speech
Tulsa Community College announces Oklahoma Lt. Governor Todd Lamb will give the 2014 commencement address in front of what is expected to be a record setting number of TCC graduates. The 44th annual TCC Commencement Ceremony is 7 p.m., Friday, May 9 at the Mabee Center at Oral Roberts University, 7777 South Lewis in Tulsa.
Early graduation numbers indicate TCC will exceed the number of degrees and certificates awarded in 2013 with nearly 1,000 graduates expected to participate in the commencement ceremony. This graduation event recognizes students who completed course work in fall 2013 or will complete requirements for spring 2014 and summer 2014.
Lamb has served as Oklahoma's Lt. Governor since November 2010. He was appointed to the Governor's cabinet as the advocate for Oklahoma's small business. With a focus on job growth and economic development, his commencement speech will congratulate the graduates and inspire them to be part of Oklahoma's future by staying in Oklahoma to put their degree to use and build the state's workforce.
He currently serves as Chair of the National Lieutenant Governor's Association (NLGA) Executive Committee and Vice Chair of the Aerospace States Association (ASA). Lamb is an Enid native and earned his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State University and his law degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law.
He served in the Oklahoma Senate beginning in 2004 and in 2009 he became the first Republican Majority Floor Leader in state history. In addition, he was a Special Agent with the United States Secret Service and in early 2001 was appointed to the national Joint Terrorism Task Force. He got his start working on the campaign staff for gubernatorial candidate Frank Keating and then worked in Keating's administration.

Geoff Johns to write back story for DCUO
DC Comics writer, Geoff Johns signs up to pen the back story of DC Universe Online. Not only is he responsible for bringing Green Lantern back, but he has also worked on many other prominent titles and series. Such as Infinite Crisis, Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., Justice Society of America and Superman among many others.
The game takes place in the current comic book DCU, Johns said, indicating there wasn't a connection to the universes of movies or TV shows. "It's pretty current with the comic book universe. The game doesn't come out for awhile, but I also know where the DCU is going to be then," he said. "I know what the DC Universe is going to be like, so some of the stuff, I can get into synch and make sure it will be as close to modern day as possible, like a neo-iconic version of the DC Universe. It's pretty close to being a modern day comics version of the DC Universe."

- Price: $200
- Official Site: http://laptop.org
- Specs: 256MB; 1GB hard drive; battery life: 3 hours
- Company: Quanta Computer
OLPC, or the One Laptop Per Child program that was created by Nicholas Negroponte, is in full swing this year with their first model, the XO-1. This ambitious and altruistic gadget is a simple, practical wireless laptop that is fully loaded with new technology and open-sourced software all for an extremely affordable $200. Originally, the XO-1 was being sold exclusively to governments and then issued to schools to be given out one per child. However, starting this month the laptops will be available through Amazon.com for either outright donation or a "buy-one give-one" purchase.
With a primary target audience comprised of children, it is a good thing that the OLPC XO-1 is rugged and durable in its design. The textured plastic housing and comfortable built-in grip make it both fun and easy to travel with. The laptop uses Wi-Fi capabilities, which function though a pair of flip-up rabbit ears that also serve to lock the keyboard in place. Even though the XO-1 is an extremely compact 7.5 inches, there are still three cleverly located USB ports for connecting various devices like digital cameras or MP3 players. The screen itself is unique in that it can swivel to a 180-degree tablet style, and there are dedicated gaming controls located on the side of the frame. Despite the stigma that may come with the low price tag, the LCD-based screen actually performs well in indoor and extreme outdoor conditions, and allows for bold image displays.
The internal features of the OLPC XO-1 are not exactly cutting edge, as there is only a modest 433MHz processor and a tiny 1GB flash memory storage. However, as an affordable entry-level gadget to introduce people to web browsing and e-mail, these specs will get you by. The lack of technical firepower is somewhat overlooked by the more balanced wireless connectivity options. Not only does the XO-1 have full 802.11b/g functionality, but also 802.11s and the ability for piggybacking on other in-range XO-1s. The multimedia options are appreciated and add some extended life to the computer. There is a built-in webcam that captures at 30fps, and the integrated speakers are loud, though a bit tinny. The battery technology in the XO-1 is the top-notch lithium iron phosphate, which guarantees to last for the lifetime of the laptop. An amazing digital wonder this is not, but the OLPC XO-1 is a great, affordable way to stay connected while you interact with the world on a more personal level.

As a Tenured Full Professor and given your long experience in Academia, what valuable lessons have you learned over the years that you wish somebody had shared with you earlier when you started as an Assistant Professor? Given these experiences what would you do differently if you had the chance?
What lessons have you learned over the years as a TENURED FULL Professor that you wish somebody had told you when you started as an Assistant Prof?
Learn how to say NO.
It is very easy to say yes to every PC invitation, every paper collaboration, every committee, every this and every that. But this spreads your time too thin and means that you perform far less than optimally at everything you do. Ultimately, work encroaches too much on family time, and life becomes less enjoyable.
Also, learn how to teach properly. Take a teaching course or two. It will make your job easier and increase the amount you enjoy teaching.
See also: What is expected of a postdoc?. Many of my comments there are applicable.
You do not have to accept responsibility without appropriate authority.
It's a classic problem in any organization, and it's related to Dave Clarke's answer. Some concrete examples:
Can I give advice as a former Assistant Professor who did not get tenure? Here is where I went wrong:
While on the interview circuit I ask this question of almost every faculty member I meet with: "What advice would you give to a new assistant professor who's starting up?"
Here are some of the universal, non-conflicting advice I've heard.

Childhood obesity will cost $14 billion over the lifetime of the near 20 percent of children in the United States that are considered to be obese according to new research conducted by Dr. Eric Andrew Finkelstein from the Duke Global Health Institute and Dr. Rahul Malhotra with Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School that was presented in the April 7, 2014, issue of the journal Pediatrics.
The cost estimates are based on the number of obese 10-year-olds in the United States and the projected medical costs that will be incurred by high rates of diabetes, some cancers, and cardiovascular disease in people that are obese and remain obese throughout their life.
A reduced estimate places the dollar value at $12,900 per obese child if the child becomes obese later in life.
The researchers based their estimates of cost based only on medical costs did not include lost productivity in working, absenteeism, and other indirect costs.
The researchers argue that preventing obesity in children is equivalent to banning smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol in children.
While the researchers minimize the financial impact of obesity to the burden on the child which is a properly moral perspective, one is forced to note that increased insurance rates produced by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the influx of seven million uninsured into the system places the burden of obesity on the working taxpayer and not on the physician, obese person, or the legislators that enacted the ACA.

The Paperwhite is probably one of the fastest ereaders I've ever tested. There's no nonsense when you turn the Paperwhite on, as soon as it's fully booted up (a matter of seconds) you're presented with your homescreen and you can dive straight into your book.
Navigating around the menu system is genuinely fast, especially for an e-ink screen, and blows the Nook GlowLight and Kobo Aura HD out of the water.
A common problem with e-ink screens is that every time you load a new page the screen flashes and refreshes, but the Kindle seems to have minimised this, and to good effect, because switching menus and flipping pages seems less cumbersome and ugly.
It's also exceptionally responsive to touch, you shouldn't find yourself heavy handedly prodding the screen to get a response. A good barometer of this is the keyboard.
I noted in the Kobo Aura review that the keyboard was sluggish - the Paperwhite is fortunately the opposite of that, with its well-spaced keys and fast response. It's one of the best e-ink keyboards on the market.
As I mentioned earlier, you can either view what's on your device or what's on the cloud. The on-device content is displayed across the top in a series of book covers, and you can find them categorised under the 'my items' drop down, which will be useful when you begin to reach that 2GB capacity.
Interestingly, you can easily access your documents (PDFs, DOCs, JPEGS etc.) from the my items drop down too - a nice touch given that often it's not so simple to access non-Amazon content.
Scrawled along the bottom of the home screen, taking up half of the entire screen, are purchase recommendations.
Adverts are essentially taking up half of the screen. I know that book recommendations are standard for most ereaders and they're welcome when prompted, but unprompted it seems a bit cheeky that half of the viewing space of the home interface is gobbled up by Amazon telling you how to spend your money.
Amazon is clearly banking on the fact that you can house your content on the cloud and that's why there's limited storage on the device.
Your cloud is accessed through the homepage and you can upload or download content at will. A good use of the cloud is the fact that purchases remain there and can be added or removed from the device whenever you want.
You will always be able to see what's on the cloud (book covers are held on the device) so you should be able to better manage your on-device collection without getting caught short.
Act on impulse
Everything can be purchased from the Kindle store, which Amazon estimates hosts over 2 million titles - 1.5 million fewer than Kobo. Downloads are quick, around five to 10 seconds depending on the size of the book, and appear immediately on the homepage.
Outside of the recommended books on your homescreen, the store gives you access to more tailored content. Along the bottom of the store are the editor's picks and the 'books to try' section based on previous purchases.
You get the feeling that the Kindle store is aimed at people who impulse buy. Most of the recommended content is on a limited deal, and the a third of the storefront is dedicated to 'featured' content - 'daily deals' and '£2.99 or less' are good examples.
There has clearly been a concerted effort to make magazines as pleasurable to read as possible. The black and white images and book layout give them an air of class, but don't fully replicate the magazine experience. A glossy magazine's main attraction is the high-quality full colour pictures - something you simply don't get on a black and white e-ink screen.
The basic function of reading presents no problems, but there's a reason magazines don't come as plainly coloured pamphlets.
The menu system is fairly straightforward, there isn't a huge learning curve when navigating around the homepage and Kindle store. There's a useful back button on the homepage, which quickly takes you back to the last thing you were reading once you're finished tweaking your settings.
Everything is clearly laid out on the homescreen, and anything important can be quickly done from here - for example changing the light intensity, opening the Kindle store or searching for books. It has been designed to launch you straight into either reading or buying books, but to be honest there isn't much - or anything - to do outside of these two activities.
An interesting feature is the ability to send documents directly to your Kindle by email via an Amazon email address.
You can send a PDF to your kindle via an Amazon-issued email address and it will sync up and download to your device - provided it's connected to the internet. A useful and time saving feature if you want to quickly load content to your device remotely.

When I first visited Sam's bungalow while dating long-distance, he had glass jars perched on the kitchen shelves to house his beans and grains, all beautifully labeled and lettered. I knew I'd stumbled into something good. On my second visit to Seattle, he broke out the jar of lentils and set out to make me his "famous lentils." I was a bit skeptical as to how famous they could really be — I'd always known them to be the reliable base for an easy vegetarian soup or the stuff of hippy deli salads. But that afternoon we made hot tea and ate the lentils standing up over the stove, straight from the pot. With the first bite I told Sam — only half kidding — never to make the famous lentils for another woman. They are that good. We've joked about that afternoon ever since, me playfully insisting that I'd marry him for his lentils alone. Well, on our drive down to San Francisco a few weeks ago, that promise became more true than ever.
People! We are engaged! I've been so excited to tell you here but there has been so much going on with the cookbook release, that I wanted to wait until just the right time. And this week has felt like the perfect time: Sam has been out of town and I was slowly slipping back into my "single gal" eating habits (scrambled eggs and toast or quesadillas for dinner) when I began craving his lentils. He is not a 'write down the recipe' kind of guy so I had to call and have him walk me through how to make them. I chose his sturdy metal hand-me-down pot, turned on the radio and got to work. It turns out that recreating someone's famous dish from scratch does help bring them right on into the kitchen with you, even if they happen to be across the country at the time.
I know many of you have been reading this site since Sam and I first began dating. In fact, I met many of you — who are now close friends — right around the time I moved back in with my mom after a long relationship ended suddenly. And I slowly wrote about dusting myself off, about moving into my own apartment for the first time, about slowly falling in love again, looking at new houses together, and taking the plunge to move to Seattle to join Sam after a good year of flying back and forth in between our two respective cities. I wasn't always sure it would work; for anyone who has dated someone long-distance who you care about immensely, you know that it's really difficult. I'm a real planner and I like to slot everything into its rightful box and this was one of the first times I can recall where there was no way to envision what it would all look like or how it would come together: we didn't know at the time who would move where, when that would be, if that would be. What would happen to my business? What would happen to my friends and family? Would we even like living together? There was no rightful box and no check-list, and I found myself panicking frequently. Sam would constantly assure me: It was all going to work out just fine. In its own time. Trust me.
As we drove down the Oregon Coast, he reminded me again how true that promise was. Sam proposed on beautiful, rugged Cannon Beach. We were the only people on the entire swath of sand; it was as if someone had come by and cleared out the winter walkers so we could have center stage to stroll and talk about our future. We snapped some photos, we named some of the majestic rocks, we got sand in our shoes.
As we walked back to the car to continue the long drive to California, I found myself picking up the pace, eager to get back into the warm car. But Sam grabbed my arm and said we had one more photo to take. He pointed to our feet. During that year of living apart, one of the things that helped us to feel closer to one another was taking quick cell phone photos of our feet. In fact, I have a whole folder called "feet photos" that I can't bring myself to delete: some of me in flats as I headed to work at Heath Ceramics, others in running shoes as I headed out to run around the lake. Sam would have a pair of good reliable boots or Clarks on, and when I found myself missing him I'd scan through my phone to find those photos in particular. So right before we left the blustery, misty beach we snapped a photo of both of our feet — sandy and cold — but standing together in one frame.
There are a lot of lentil recipes out there and in many ways, this one doesn't look all that different — it's, on first glance, a standard warm French lentil salad. But I think a lot of the difference is found in the approach and preparation: Sam slices the carrots and celery very, very thin. As thin as you can get them … and then you're just about there. He doesn't pre-cook the carrots or celery along with the onion, finding that they're perfectly done if they cook alongside the lentils at the same time. This version below happens to be vegetarian, but Sam will often thinly slice and cook two hot Italian sausages to then fold into the lentils as they cook. I went with a straight-up 'what do we have in our pantry?' version but I do love the sausage as well. The good hit of Dijon punches up the flavor, and the parsley? Totally my idea. Sam would think this a bit fussy, but after reading Tamar Adler's book I basically toss parsley into everything. We love this for easy lunches, topped with a runny egg. I had some last night with polenta — and the night before, topped a baked sweet potato with lentils. It's hearty winter fare which, at this point in January, feels just right.
So with that: lentils. And a photo of the sky as we were driving away from Cannon Beach headed to a house full of family we'd share our big news with. The sky was so brilliant that night. Crisp and pink and bright. As evening grew nearer, it occurred to me that we'd just gotten engaged on the winter solstice: literally the shortest and darkest day of the year — a day that dictates that everything from here on out just gets lighter and brighter.
I'd like to mention that my grandmother Marge passed away a few days after Christmas this year. Many of you know her as the namesake to my granola business. I am so heartened and happy that I got to tell her about our engagement over the phone before she passed. The morning we talked, my mom told me that she was doing very poorly and probably wouldn't be able to respond much. To everyone's surprise, she was able to talk to me: she had a wonderful way of saying things were "major" when she was delighted with them. A really good coconut cake? Major. A new color of Tom's sneakers out for the summer season? Major. Sam and Megan getting engaged? That was "major, major, major, major." This got a lot of majors. We sent a photo of the ring a little while later so she and my Gramp could see. I'm guessing that might have gotten a "major," too. Her spunk will be greatly missed at our wedding; I have a feeling her spirit won't.
Sam's Lentils
These lentils are even better the next day, so we'll often make a pot with the intention of not serving them for a day or two. When reheating, you may want to add a little extra water — the lentils can settle in and soak up a bit of the liquid as they sit.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic (or more, if you like!), very thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, very thinly sliced
1 celery stalk, very thinly sliced
1 cup green lentils, French Le Puy if you can find them
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley, to top (optional)
fried egg, to top (optional)
Put a kettle or a pot (containing about 4 cups water) on the stove and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until soft and translucsent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Fold in the carrots and celery.
Add the lentils to the saucepan and stir to coat with the onion mixture. Pour the boiling water into the pan and stop when the level is about ½-inch over the top of the lentils (should be roughly 3 1/2 cups of water). Bring back to a good boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook the lentils for about 20 minutes. Stir in the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper and cook an additional 10-15 minutes – or until lentils are tender but still slightly chewy.
Remove from the heat and let sit for ten minutes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper.
Serve warm – with a lightly-fried egg and a sprinkling of parsley on top if you'd like. Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for an additional 4-5 days.

With the start of a new year, one of the most popular new year resolutions is to engage in healthier everyday practices, specifically via better diet and exercise. Help yourself along by eating greener, such as with this unconventional salad recipe. Although this may seem like a mishmash of ingredients, this Broccoli, Gorgonzola & Grape Salad recipe is a delicious mix to add your repertoire.
It is a well-known fact that a well-rounded diet is maintained with constant fruit and vegetables. Nevertheless, healthy habits are rarely sustained by eating greens and greens alone. Include small, reasonable portions of salt, sugar and fat to offset wild splurges and cravings.
For example, this recipe is based primarily on broccoli as a superfood, flexing its nutritional muscles without even a bed of lettuce. However, this salad also includes salty gorgonzola cheese crumbles, juicy grapes and the crunch of sliced almonds to supply well-rounded flavor and texture. Bound together by a red wine vinaigrette, this Broccoli, Gorgonzola & Grape Salad hits all the rights notes for a healthy year.
As an added incentive for routinely preparing healthy meals all year long, this recipe is one that can be easily prepared early and set aside until consumption. It is perfectly suited to make the night before and take with you to work, leaving you no excuse not to enjoy this salad. Bon appetit, and cheers to a happy and healthy 2014!
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 cups red grapes, halved
- 2 celery sticks, sliced
- 1/4 cup gorgonzola crumbles
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Begin by steaming the broccoli. Chop into bite-size pieces and steam until tender when pierced with a fork. Set aside to cool.
Next, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and sugar in a bowl for the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, grapes, celery, almonds and gorgonzola. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Once ready, toss with the red wine vinaigrette dressing.

Lehigh's Andrew Krentz
June 26, 2012
Center Valley, Pa. - Patriot League Men's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year Andrew Krentz of Lehigh leads a list of 44 student-athletes named to this year's Academic Honor Roll.
Krentz, a junior, finished the spring semester with a 3.93 grade-point average while working on an integrated degree in engineering and arts and sciences.
Six student-athletes earned a perfect GPA of 4.0 or better in the spring. Army sophomore Chad Llewellyn led the way with a 4.33 GPA while studying life science. Senior English major Connor Feuille was Colgate's lone member to receive a 4.0. Holy Cross senior history major Ajeya Shekar achieved a 4.0, while Lafayette added sophomore physics major Michael Pinkard to the list. Navy teammates sophomore Chris Kenney, an economics major, and freshman Alex Sisk, an English major, also earned a 4.0 GPA during the spring term. Four of the Academic All-Patriot League members also received honor roll recognition.
Bucknell led all teams with nine selections, followed close behind by Army, Colgate, and Holy Cross, which added seven members apiece to the list. Lafayette contributed six student-athletes to the honor roll.
To be eligible for the Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete must earn a 3.20 grade-point average in the spring semester and participate in one of the Patriot League's winter or spring championship sports.

I'm looking for a way to combine the space (~ 500 - 2000 GB per Server) of about 7 servers (will become more if this works good!) to one big volume as a RAID-5 which is accessible via Samba (as there are some windows clients in our network, too.)
My current environment: 7 dell servers with disk space from 500 - 2000 GB (could be configured as RAID 1 on each server but I would prefer not to do this). These servers all have internet connections and are furthermore connected together via a internal switch on a 10.0.0.0/27 subnet.
Target: The whole space of all of these seven ubuntu servers should be connected to one big RAID-5 filesystem which can be made accessible via Samba.
I already have found the tag word "Clustered File System" and there are several systems presented in the internet, so the question is, which one are good ones and what's the specific advantages (e.g. performance, scalability, ...)
Thanks for your help! :)

Let 2014 be the healthiest year by making simple changes to your diet. Incorporate snacks in a smart, healthy way. Smart snacking can help cut down on calories and eliminate weight gain.
Why eat snacks? Snacks help boost your energy between meals and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Snacks should not be eaten when bored or stressed out, but rather eaten when you are hungry. If snacks are planned ahead of time, healthy eating will replace emotional eating.
A healthy eating plan should contain snacks. These mini-meals can be creative such as a tablespoon of peanut butter spread on a medium apple. How about a tri-color veggie snack: carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes and green pepper strips with reduced -fat ranch dressing? Other healthy snacks include nuts and seeds. Keep in mind portion control as nuts and seeds are high in fat. Six almonds are a serving size, and a small handful of nuts or seeds is the limit.
Snacks under 200 calories include:
1 cup of tomato soup and 5 whole-grain crackers .
Small baked potato topped with salsa and 1 oz low-fat cheese.
Waffle topped with 1/2 cup blueberries and 2 tbsp. low-fat yogurt.
3 cups of air popcorn and 3 tbsp. of grated parmesan cheese.
Hungry? Happy healthy snacking! Stay fit and fabulous.

Amazon: "all with permission from rights holders"
Not entirely true that - surely not forgotten about 1984 / Animal Farm already? It was obvious from the coverage of that debacle that Amazon had other items of dubious ownership, but had no way of knowing which ones they were.
Kudos to both sides though - surely we will see some reform of Copyright come about as a result of either side winning?

We'd call them the "Utah 86" but that doesn't have the resonance equal to the impact these privately owned companies have had on the economy both statewide and nationally.
Inc. magazine's annual and famous list of Inc. 500 booming mega companies has been extended to include 5000 privately held (read: small) companies that are growing despite sluggish economies in the U.S. and Europe.
Among the 500 are 86 Utah companies, including a few that have been written about in Salt Lake magazine, including Goal Zero, England Logistics and Cuisine Unlimited (owner Maxine Turner, below). Cuisine Unlimited pulled in over $5 million in revenue as a worldwide catering business. CU has catered Salt Lake magazine events.
Goal Zero ($33 million revenue) manufactures compact solar-power gadgets that not only helps outdoorsy folks unplug, but helps villages in the developing world get plugged in For more info on this amazing company, go here.
England Logistics includes C.R. England, a family owned interstate trucking company. Perhaps not as sexy as sucking power from the sun or catering Olympic events, England's 89 percent growth and $315 million in revenues are nothing to sneeze at.
Collectively, Inc. says, the 5000 companies have created about 46,000 jobs.

The junior South Summit linebacker who was partially paralyzed in a South Summit football game on Oct. 7 remains in rehab in Salt Lake City, working on gaining strength in his upper body.
The assembly on Monday afternoon welcomed a video montage of the new Hancock house, being built with donated funds, and also had a special guest in Real Salt Lake defender and Park City resident Chris Wingert, who was on hand to present a $2,500 check to Hancock's uncle, Andy Woolstenhulme.
Woolstenhulme, who is a manager of the Zion's Bank branch in Kamas, has been helping with the funds for his nephew as well as working on the new house.
"I think we've raised enough funds now that we're going to be able to pay for the home and leave it without a mortgage for the family," he said. "That was our goal. That's what we wanted to do; we didn't want to leave them with a large monthly payment or debt."
Woolstenhulme spoke to the student body as the video montage played, describing the new wheelchair-accessible house that will feature a specialized-rehab room for Porter to continue his rehabilitation. He added there are no steps in the house, and that Porter's room is on the northeast side of the building, where he will have his own sizable room and bathroom.
The $2,500 check presented by Wingert to Woolstenhulme was money raised through Deb Harper, a close friend of Real Salt Lake players. Wingert said, Harper picked a charity to donate to after raising money at the Jordan Commons movie theatre during the opening night of the newest "Twilight" film saga.
Wingert said Harper chose Hancock and his family and asked Wingert if he would be willing to present the check and speak to the South Summit student body.
"They just asked me to get involved at this level and I said, 'Absolutely,'" Wingert said. "It was great to come over here.
"It's just heartbreaking. It's tough, but guys do get injured. Fortunately you don't see too many injuries of this severity, but when you hear of one, it breaks your heart. Especially to know a kid's out there just having fun, and to have this happen, to set him back like that is a real shame."
Wingert said RSL is very active in the community and he speaks to high school student bodies as often as possible, especially in his offseason.
"Sometimes it's about just talking to the kids, and sometimes, it's a little more special and specific like today," he said Monday.
Woolstenhulme said his cousins, Kent and Tiny Woolstenhulme, are also working on the construction of the new Hancock home on Millrace Road in Oakley and are hoping to have the house completed by Porter's expected release date of Tuesday, Dec. 13.
"It's amazing to see the willingness of people to step up and provide whatever means they can to Porter and his family," he said. "They continue to roll in every day. Whether they're from the community here or outside the community, or they hear about this from the press or through TV, these things continue to grow."
Asked if he initially thought enough could be raised to cover the entire cost of the home, Andy Woolstenhulme smiled.
"We hoped," he said. "That was our goal; but with any goal, we thought it was going to be a stretch. As individuals and companies stepped up, foundations stepped up; it's just been overwhelming. We've had people donate as far as Florida, California, who either saw the story online and its resonated with him and they felt the need or desire to contribute, so that's been really amazing."
Wingert is back in his home state of New York this week, but said plans are in motion to visit Porter in the hospital once he returns.
"I'm planning on getting to know him," he said. "Definitely."

Fluorescent nanoparticles for quantitative uptake studies
Nanocarriers, such as those made of polymer nanoparticles, are promising drug delivery vehicles. Thanks to a process called emulsion free radical polymerization, researchers in Italy have now succeeded in quantifying the amount of nanoparticles that enter the cell cytoplasm. The findings from the new study will be important for developing more efficient anti-cancer therapies.
The team, led by Massimo Morbidelli of the ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Davide Moscatelli of the Politecnico di Milano in Italy, together with colleagues at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milano looked at how emulsion free radical polymerization - which is routinely employed to synthesize polymer nanoparticles - can be successfully applied to the biomedical field.
The researchers succeeded in optimizing a novel procedure that allowed them to quantitatively assess the amount of nanoparticles taken up by the cell cytoplasm. The technique relies on flow cytometry and plate fluorimetry, and also measures the number of cells. The method exploits polymer nanoparticles functionalized with a fluorescent dye (Rhodamine B).
PhD student Raffaele Ferrari at the Politecnico di Milano synthesized biocompatible polymethylmethacrylate-based nanoparticles covalently bound to RhB to avoid dye diffusion from the nanocarriers. By changing the process parameters, different carriers with tuneable size, charge, and amount of dye were produced. These materials were employed in in vitro experiments.
Team members Monica Lupi and Paolo Ubezio from Mario Negri obtained a reproducible linear relationship for each type of polymeric nanoparticle - between the number of nanoparticles, the molecules of RhB per nanoparticle and the relative fluorescence detected by a microplate reader. The researchers were then able to correlate results from plate fluorimetry measurements and measured the average cell fluorescence using flow cytometery by evaluating the number of nanoparticles internalized in individual cells.
The researchers presented their results in the journal Nanotechnology.

Rotated block container inline-progression-dimension error condition
G. Ken Holman <gkholman <at> CraneSoftwrights.com>
Hi folks! 6.5.3 fo:block-container states that the inline-progression-dimension of a block container may not be "auto" if the inline-progression-direction is different from that of the parent of the container. Fine, but if a user neglects to specify the inline-progression-dimension on a block container rotated 90 then the initial value of "auto" applies, which I then assume is an error condition. I note that the Antenna House tool treats the dimension as narrow as it can be: as if it were an fo:float in that it is the length of the widest of the children areas. I note that the RenderX tool treats the dimension as wide as it can be: as if it were an fo:block in a parent region area in that it is the width of the parent, not the width of the content. The answer impacts on the position of the next formatting object after the block container: after the narrow container on the same page, or after the wide container on the next page. My intuition is that when not specified the error condition should treat the dimension as a region in which the blocks are placed, that is, the rotated block container is as wide as it can be. This is because while neither fo:float nor fo:block allow inline-progression-dimension to be specified, fo:float explicitly(Continue reading)

Our High Density Prepreg utilizes DIALEAD™ Pitch Fiber instead of traditional carbon fiber. By placing the DIALEAD™ based material in the hoop layers of the W-Series, we're better able to prevent shaft "ovaling" and deliver superior stability leading to increased energy transfer and control during the swing.
The tip section of the new Diamana™ W-Series features our new Tough-Qure™ prepreg, developed by Mitsubishi Rayon, for superior feel and feedback during impact.
Working with our partners at Mitsubishi Plastics Inc., we have developed the next generation M.D.I. Technology - 3G M.D.I. featuring super-thin DIALEAD™ prepreg. The 3G M.D.I. Technology allows our engineers to fine-tune both the E.I. Curve (Bend Profile) and the G.J. Curve (Torsion Profile) to increase the overall controllability and minimize ovaling.
We created M.D.I. Technology to allow us to layer carbon fiber in different directions along the entire length of the shaft, allowing control over stiffness, stability and feel with amazing pinpoint precision.

|Canadian Eventers Compete Against the Rest of the World in UK Tour
|| Print |
September 25, 2009 — Canadian eventers recently completed a successful competition tour in England in September. Competitions included CCI 3* Blenheim International Three Day Event in Woodstock, Oxon, September 10th – 13th, and at the CCI 4* Land Rover Burghley Three Day Event in Stamford, Lincolnshire, September 3rd – 6th.
The top Canadian in the CCI 3* Blenheim Three Day Event was Jessica Phoenix, 25, of Cannington, ON, and her 11-year-old Canadian Thoroughbred gelding, Exponential. Out of extremely high caliber field of 80 starters, Exponential and Phoenix placed 24th on a score of 54.4 dressage penalty points plus 17.2 cross country time penalties, over a course which saw only six riders jump clear within the time, and an eight penalty jumping round.
Waylon Roberts, 20, of Port Perry, ON, and Myrddin's Sebastian, his nine-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding, finished in 32nd place overall. The pair sat in 67th place on a dressage score of 65.6 penalties but moved up the leader board by adding only 20.8 cross country time penalties to complete the competition with a score of 86.4.
Jessica Hampf of London, ON, who currently resides in Auburn Alabama riding High Society II, her 13-year-old Australian Thoroughbred gelding finished in 37th place on a score of 96.8 which featured another Canadian cross country round with no jumping penalties.
Phoenix and her second horse Exploring, her 12-year-old American Thoroughbred gelding rounded out the Canadian entries finishing in 40th spot.
Earlier in September at the prestigious CCI 4* Land Rover Burghley Three Day Event Diana Burnett of Blackstock, ON, and Manny, nine-year-old bay Thoroughbred cross gelding owned by Burnett and John & Nadia Lennox, finished in 48th place out of start list of 81 entries. Also competing at Burghley was Olympic team member Kyle Carter who currently resides in Reddick, FL, and Madison Park, an 11-year-old American thoroughbred gelding. After a best ever dressage on a best ever score of 58.3 the pair experienced an uncharacteristic mishap towards the end of the cross country course and were unable to complete the competition.
"The experience that all of our riders enjoyed in England was invaluable. The opportunity to have a great base camp at David and Jacky Green's to work from as well, the concentrated time with International Technical Advisor David O'Connor showed in the results of many," said chef d'équipe of the Canadian Eventing Team, Graeme Thom. "Dr. Ober, our team veterinarian's attendance gave the veterinary help and assurance necessary for the riders to be able to concentrate on their competitive riding. I would also like to recognize the excellent work by our riders' grooms who performed in a very professional manner and likewise benefitted from the experience. We are very thankful and appreciative of the support from the Own the Podium program that contributed to making this happen. As well, our riders and owners made huge investments in this trip and it shows the ever increasing commitment towards building a more internationally competitive program. This was a close to a team trip as we could design and thus will be of great benefit to all who participated."
"As we expected, this endeavour was a great experience. While the results were positive, there is clearly a need to keep chipping away with international exposure and experience," added International Technical Advisor, David O'Connor. "There were phases of the competitions that earned personal bests for our riders, which is to say the least, encouraging. The few instances where the results fell short were offset by an obvious strong effort by the riders involved to be competitive. I was very pleased with how all of our riders adapted to their surroundings from the point of view of travel, training and venues with close to one hundred thousand spectators; to say nothing of competing head to head with the best in the world. We must continue to strive to include this type of exposure on annual basis. The Gold medalists in our sport have all gained experience from European competitions. I am very appreciative of all who made this trip happen and am already looking forward to our next one."
The UK tour was made possible through Sport Canada and the Own the Podium program, a national sport technical initiative designed to help Canada's summer and winter athletes achieve podium success.
The Canadian Eventing Team would also like to recognize sponsors Merial Canada Inc. and SnugrugZ for their support of this tour.

Does the changes take place only on new started rebuild? But is it possible to "restart" interrupt/continue a rebuild?
I have to add the disks are usb (2.0) disks and i have no clue how fast my usb usually is or should be.

Kadis had his feet up on a table in the bar casually. He was reasonably well known as a mercenary, so it usually was that all he had to do was sit down before someone came up to him, tears streaming down their face begging him to carve their husband's hands off for cheating on her or deal with a score of orcish raiders or some other pointless and low-paying job. Normally, he blew them off. But in this case, he would have gladly welcomed any of them, he was about out of coin and his company had been massacred during their last engagement.
In fact, he was the only remaining member of it, as far as he knew.
A centaur walked into the bar. He cocked an eyebrow. It wasn't a new sight for him, but they were rare enough that the beast was worth keeping an eye on. Well, when his eyes weren't preoccupied elsewhere, that is.
A buxom wench sidled up to him. "Another round, Sir Rethan?"
He restrained the laugh that welled up inside him at the title, and smiled. "Yes, my lady, very much so."
Too bad I don't have the coin to properly finish the night.
He shook his head as she headed to refill his tankard. If tonight kept going this badly, he'd need to actually consult the rock bottom of mercenaries, the Help Wanted boards. Kadis shuddered at that thought. Hopefully, somebody would be looking for some help here, and he had a reputation for getting it done.

Sure enough, the moment we start to think "everything's better with bacon" is getting a bit played out, the universe smacks us in the face with a new bacon-tastic treat. How can we scoff at the addition of bacon goodness to peanut brittle that's then covered in chocolate? We can't. Salty, sweet, smoky, deeelicious Sir Francis Bacon Chocolate Peanut Brittle ($20), we're sorry for doubting the power of pork.
