Three healthy substitutes to replace high-cholesterol foods.
Q: How can I replace high-cholesterol foods in my diet? A: You can replace cholesterol culprits from your diet to see your cholesterol levels improve. Try the following substitutes: The culprit: Butter Sub in: Banana pur�e Banana pur�e can step in for butter during baking. Butter packs 30mg of cholesterol per teaspoon. Banana pur�e has 0mg of cholesterol. The culprit: Ice cream Sub in: Frozen Greek yogurt One-half cup serving of ice cream weighs in at 90mg of cholesterol. Try frozen 2% Greek yogurt instead. You�ll still get the rich, creamy texture you�re craving and consume only 10mg of cholesterol. The culprit: Mayonnaise Sub in: Avocado slices Mayonnaise can find its way into many of your favorite foods. But at 5mg of cholesterol per tablespoon, you may want to consider a healthier alternative. Instead, try cholesterol-free avocado slices on your favorite sandwich. �Dr. Mehmet Oz,�Cardiac surgeon�at�Columbia University/New York-Presbyterian�Hospital and star of�The Dr. Oz Show CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE COMPLETE ARCHIVES OF EXPERT ANSWERS FROM DR.

How to build deck lights with soft, diffused light
When Burrell Nadeau, of Duluth, Minn., built a new deck, he wanted low-voltage lighting that matched the deck�s design. So he built light boxes from the same lumber as his deck and outfitted them with 12-volt automotive marker lights, powered by a low-voltage transformer found at a home center. He left the bottom of the boxes open to let the lights shine on the deck surface, and he installed 3-inch soffit vents in the front faces to allow for softer, more diffused light around the railings.

Members of Pussy Riot sit in a glass-walled cage during a court hearing in Moscow on August 17, 2012. Photo by Natalia Kolenikova/AFP/GettyImages.
On February 21, the feminist collective Pussy Riot crossed the restricted threshold of the altar and began dancing and singing in front of the iconostasis of Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. They delivered approximately 30 seconds of the "punk prayer" "Mother of God, Chase Putin Out," before being removed by security guards. The restored Cathedral, destroyed under Stalin and converted into a swimming pool under Khrushchev, stages the complicated relationship between the revival of Orthodox Christianity and the development of Russian nationalism and post-Soviet political sovereignty.
On August 17, three members of Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in a labor colony for hooliganism grounded in religious hatred. The media had a trial of its own, scrutinizing everything from the group's gender presentation to their musical abilities. But what, exactly, was on trial and what are the stakes?
On the day of the verdict, Eduard Bagirov, a controversial, Putin-friendly media figure, tweeted the following:
"Not a single normal Russian person would ever support the 'actions' of these cunts. Notice that support comes exclusively from immigrants, faggots, and Yids" (trans. mine).
As a diagnostic tool, Bagirov's comment reveals that on trial were the criteria for "normal Russian personhood" — defining who will count as Russian and who will be the constitutive other(s).
For Pussy Riot, the "punk prayer" aimed to undo the identification between "normal Russian personhood," Putin's regime, and the Orthodox Church. The mutual constitution of a unified "Russian people" and a unified "Orthodox Christianity" reinforce the legitimacy of Putin's sovereignty along with that of his former KGB colleague Patriarch Kirill Gundyayev. On trial, then, was also the possibility of religious contestation — i.e. that one might be critical of a religious tradition and nonetheless speak for it rather than hatefully against it. As one blogger for Women in Theology notes, the language of Judge Marina Syrova's ruling pits Pussy Riot's feminist commitments against the "antifeminism" of Christianity. Judge Syrova explains that "The court does find a religious hatred motive in the actions of the defendants by way of them being feminists who consider men and women to be equal. Now gender equally [sic] is asserted, maintained by the Russian constitution [...] At the same time, Orthodox Christianity, and Catholic Christianity and other denominations do not agree with feminism and their own values are not in line with feminists."
Playing a theologian or a historian, the Judge publicly establishes a uniform "Orthodox Christianity," whose constitutive feature is an opposition to equality between men and women, so much so that any challenge to this inequality constitutes an act of hatred. Since the Judge makes clear that sex-based discrimination is unlawful in Russia, one wonders why sex-based discrimination with religious "credentials" can become legally sanctioned. Is Orthodox Christianity an extra-legal space that represents "the Russian people" but is not subject to its laws?
The ruling's logic forecloses on the possibility of such questions in part because it figures "Orthodox Christianity" as a static object rather than a dynamic tradition, whose various claims to "orthodoxy" are themselves products of historical negotiations that could have turned out differently. Hence, even as the Judge claims divergence between Russian law and "opposition to feminism," she nonetheless discursively reconstitutes a unified "Orthodox Christianity," adding "antifeminism" to the chain of congruencies between Putin, "normal Russian personhood," and "Orthodox Christianity." The intactness of this discursive framework relies on the impossibility of interpreting Pussy Riot's performance as an act of religious devotion that effectuates disidentification between Orthodox Christianity and "the Russian people" on the one hand and Putin, antifeminism, and the Patriarch on the other.
In her statement to the court, Yekaterina Samutsevich, one of the convicted members, writes,
"In our performance we dared, without the Patriarch's blessing, to unite the visual imagery of Orthodox culture with that of protest culture, thus suggesting that Orthodox culture belongs not only to the Russian Orthodox Church, the Patriarch, and Putin, but that it could also ally itself with civic rebellion and the spirit of protest in Russia."
The "punk prayer" inverts the locale of Christian authority, declaring the Virgin's solidarity with their countercultural project. They prayed, "Virgin Mary, mother of God, become a feminist." They pled that Patriarch Gundyayev renounce his idolatrous worship of Putin and worship God instead. During the performance, the group cloaked their faces with balaclavas to protect their identities but also to de-hierarchize the liturgical space. The "punk prayer" performance troubled the binaries between clergy and laity, men and women, leader and follower, and fame and anonymity. It appealed to the "feminism" of the Virgin Mary against the "antifeminism" of Putin and the Church elite and leveraged an improvisational, communal mode of prayer, without a frontman, against a highly-centralized, hierarchical liturgical modality. In their closing statements, Pussy Riot continued to draw a connection between their own actions and the biblical drama of the New Testament, where those persecuted for blasphemy turned out to be the rightful bearers of divinity.
Christian supporters of Pussy Riot see the "punk prayer" as an important attempt at elaborating a Christian counterculture. In a petition to the World Council of Churches, a group organized under the slogan of "Christians for Pussy Riot" presents the "punk prayer" and its colorful, disruptive accouterments, as continuous with the tradition of being a fool for Christ, a tradition that enjoyed a particular presence in Byzantine and Russian Orthodox Christianity. As Sergey Ivanov argues, holy foolery in Russia emerged simultaneously with the formation of czarism. Holy fools kept the gap between secular authority, however despotic, and divine authority from closing. The genealogy of the figure of the "holy fool" can be traced from the Paul of 1 Cor. 1-4 to Dostoyevsky's "idiot." While the criteria of "holy foolery" vary historically, one constant feature that Ivanov observes is that holy fools functioned as "cultural antennae" and rehearsed the hypocrisies, idolatries, and abuses of a religious community fallen into sin and decline.
Although Pussy Riot's performance has succeeded in capturing the countercultural religious imagination of some Christians, the "success" of their performance relies on the ability of "normal Russian persons" to read the difference between the critical voice of "holy foolery" and the destructive voice of religious hatred. Ultimately, then, on trial was the critical efficacy of their actions. In other words, what theological and political resources would their audiences need for their performance to generate a spark of countercultural world-building?
The question of efficacy has been at the forefront for those invested in radical politics. For some, Pussy Riot's statements, which portray the masses as conformist automatons, raise the specter of vanguardism. For others, the perception of elitism is problematic not for its antidemocratic implications but for its easy incorporation into Putin's anti-dissent strategies, where "normal Russian persons," whom Putin purportedly represents, are positioned against the intellectual and creative elites. The worry is that far from an instrument of disruption, Pussy Riot's dissent becomes a fine-tuned instrument for consolidating Putin's sovereignty.
The worry about efficacy also echoes in complaints about the ease with which Pussy Riot's highly fashionable cause has been embraced by the West. Exactly how countercultural can you be if "Free Pussy Riot" memorabilia is being sold at a Madonna concert and "support" for the group just means flexing your consumer muscle? Western cooptation testifies to the power of commodification. It also betrays a potent political fantasy about the nature of Pussy Riot's protest. As Vadim Nikitin points out, the West's outdated reflex to venerate any Russian dissenter as a "Cold War trophy" misses the point. Pussy Riot is not fighting for "freedom of expression" understood as libertarian "freedom" of rabid individualism and unfettered capitalism. Theirs is a radical politics targeting the corporatization of public institutions—church and state. In other words, the religious and political counterculture of Pussy Riot activism, which has a history and a future far greater than the "punk prayer," equally indicts American neoliberalism and its destruction of democratic culture by capitalist logics. And the West's support for Pussy Riot may be its own perfectly-calibrated exercise in absorbing radical political dissent.
As the appeals process begins and various international groups strategize about how to support Pussy Riot, the question of what "we" can do to help "them" might be helpfully displaced and politicized by asking a different question: What kinds of radical changes would need to happen in our own religious and political cultures for our own "punk prayers" to be answered?

Gregory W. Deason
West Lafayette, IN | Distinguished Ag Alumni: 2010
As a land-grant institution, Purdue University has always had an outreach focus. Gregory Deason's work fits right into that historical mission. Deason repositioned Purdue Research Park in West Lafayette from a basic real estate venture to a vibrant high-tech hub that incubates and supports firms in the life sciences, homeland security, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and information technology. It is Indiana's first and largest certified technology park, with more than 100 tech-related companies sharing common ground. He also led the development of research parks in Merrillville (2004), New Albany (2009), and Indianapolis (2009). His recruiting efforts capitalize on Purdue's deepest core competencies. Although the West Lafayette park dates to 1961, Deason was also able to take advantage of a critical development in the mid-1990s—a new emphasis on creating and growing companies from start-up mode. He developed a program called Purdue Research Park Portals, which provides daily counsel to early-stage companies on crucial topics from writing a business plan to protecting intellectual property. The parks' impact is substantial both in terms of new jobs and capital investment. He says: "At the core, we're trying to create new kinds of jobs that are highly skilled and pay well; that will continue to diversify Indiana's economy; and that address new and innovative products, services, and ways of doing business." New companies will help Indiana retain its brightest individuals, he adds. He believes that, through research parks, universities can have tremendous human impact by developing solutions to societal challenges in energy, medicine, and the environment. As president of the 374-member Association of University Research Parks, he has represented Purdue and the entire industry in discussions of best practices around the world. Deason grew up in rural Clinton County. He is a composer, singer, and guitarist, and is active in his church's music programs and in a band called Mustard Seeds. He also enjoys time with his family, especially watching the older two of his three sons play varsity football. "Purdue, as a whole, laid a great foundation, but in agricultural economics a number of my classes guided me to think critically. Then I was encouraged within the department to work hard on my communication skills to add a layer to what I could do. Faculty helped me hone my leadership and management skills."

People with unhealthy lifestyle behaviours benefit from remote coaching via mobile technology

Implications for practice and research
The study confirms previous research findings suggesting that behavioural interventions that encourage goal setting and frequent self-monitoring can result in significant, positive behavioural change, even in a population with fairly entrenched behavioural patterns.
Non-targeted behaviours may be affected through a process of complementary behavioural change.
Additional research is needed to better understand whether and how changes in non-targeted behaviours occur in adults, as this could lead to more efficient interventions.
Use of mobile technology to encourage self-monitoring has the potential to provide exceptionally rich data for researchers studying the behaviour change process. However, the relative advantage of such technology over low-technology self-monitoring methods in terms of participant …

Why have Americans been supportive of action to address climate change yet so weakly committed?being asked about things like whether they would provide CPR to save the life of a pet (most pet owners say yes ) or whether they would allow their child to be given the swine flu vaccine (a third of parents say no), pollsters occasionally get around to asking Americans what they think about global warming. When they do, Americans find a variety of ways to tell us that they don't think about it very much at all.
The lesson would appear to be that apocalyptic threats are unlikely to become priority concerns.warming has remained largely unchanged through periods of intensive media attention and periods of neglect, good economic times and bad, the relatively activist Clinton years and the skeptical Bush years. And majorities of Americans have, at least in principle, consistently supported government action to do something about global warming even if they were not entirely sold that the science was settled, suggesting that public understanding and acceptance of climate science may not be a precondition for supporting action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Americans typically give less credit to expert opinion than do the educated elites.and efforts to raise the volume simply trigger system-justifying responses. The lesson of recent years would appear to be that apocalyptic threats — when their impacts are relatively far off in the future, difficult to imagine or visualize, and emanate from everyday activities, not an external and hostile source — are not easily acknowledged and are unlikely to become priority concerns for most people. In fact, the louder and more alarmed climate advocates become in these efforts, the more they polarize the issue, driving away a conservative or moderate for every liberal they recruit to the cause.

I don't love it because I did it in a hurry, made it too small and had to scramble to make it bigger. I was originally planing only greens on the back. I visited Ireland when I was a student in London many years ago, before I knew Sarah, and couldn't get over how really green the place was. Whoever named the place 'the Emerald Isle' wasn't exaggerating. I wanted to do lots of different greens but in my haste, made the back too small so I quickly added the orange stripe. Not great, but it did give me a chance to use an extra flag that was floating around.
All of the fabrics were scraps in my stash. It was fun to pull them all together. The brown is a Kamla woven that I had on hand and now I want a whole bolt of it. It is cotton, but has a cool linen-like texture.
I wish I could hold this baby in my arms and tell him what a brilliant mother he has. This quilt will have to be my surrogate. She is truly one of the greatest women I've known. This boy is blessed with a special father too. As I've talked to Sarah's husband, I've been touched by the serenity that he's been given to get through this time. His knowledge that their's was not a marriage of "'til death do us part" but one that is eternal, and faith in God's plan that their family will be together for always brings comfort as well. To me too.

Time to make Highway 14 a priority
To the editor:
Not in my lifetime
I'm hearing this far too many times when talking with New Ulm Chamber members and the topic of Highway 14 comes up. I've heard stories of horrific accidents taking lives, changing the lives of family members and causing lingering physical issues. I've heard of transportation-related businesses expanding in other communities because they need access to four-lane roads. I've heard of the economy's effect on businesses causing every expense to be analyzed to the penny including the cost of diesel fuel, the better mileage on four-lane roads than on two-lane for trucks, and the competitive advantage of businesses that are on four-lane roads.
Before you think this only affects the truckers in town, please read on. Think of how many trucks come in and out of New Ulm for our biggest employers like AMPI, Kraft and 3M. The ability to move product quickly and efficiently affects their bottom line, which affects jobs. Think of how many trucks bring blank pens and mugs in to Beacon Promotions and then take the finished product out again to customers. How many milk trucks come into AMPI and how many trucks loaded with butter head out? How many times have you heard the helicopter over town heading to the emergency room at New Ulm Medical Center and thought "Highway 14 has struck again." Think of how many students use Highway14 commuting to Martin Luther College, Minnesota Valley Luther High School, Minnesota State University – Mankato and other educational institutions. Think of the many employees that make the commute from Mankato to New Ulm daily and vice versa.
Will the Highway 14 expansion to four-lanes solve all of our problems? No, of course not. But New Ulm is the only town of our size that does not connect to a four-lane road and how can we compete if we don't have the right equipment? There is much progress happening in New Ulm these days – think of what the impact could be to our businesses and manufacturing if Highway 14 was expanded to four-lane.
I've heard the Highway 14 Partnership is doing everything right in their strategy at the legislature, but I'm not hearing that Highway 14 is a priority. Please continue to tell your stories to the elected officials in St. Paul.

Hurry Curry Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1 teaspoon coriander seed
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 whole clove garlic, smashed
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon pickling salt
Heat the canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Crush the cumin seed with the coriander seed and add to the pan. Add the curry powder, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Cook these spices, stirring until the oil colors and the spices are fragrant. Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and toss to coat.
In a lidded plastic container, combine the water, rice wine vinegar, cider vinegar, sugar, and pickling salt. Shake to combine.
Once the cauliflower is slightly tender, add it to a glass jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the cauliflower, filling to the top of the jar. Cool, chill, and store the pickles for 1 week to allow the flavors to develop thoroughly.
About Sterilizing Jars:
Properly handled sterilized equipment will keep canned foods in good condition for years. Sterilizing jars is the first step of preserving foods.
Jars should be made from glass and free of any chips or cracks. Preserving or canning jars are topped with a glass, plastic or metal lid, which has a rubber seal. Two-piece lids are best for canning, as they vacuum-seal when processed.
To sterilize jars before filling with jams, pickles or preserves, wash jars and lids with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and arrange jars and lids open sides up, without touching, on a tray. Boil the jars and lids in a large saucepan, covered with water, for 15 minutes.
Use tongs when handling hot sterilized jars, to move them from boiling water. Be sure tongs are sterilized too, by dipping the ends in boiling water for a few minutes.
As a rule, hot preserves go into hot jars and cold preserves go into cold jars. All items used in the process of making jams, jellies and preserves must be clean. This includes any towels used, and especially your hands.
After the jars are sterilized, you can preserve the food. It is important to follow any canning and processing instructions included in the recipe and refer to USDA guidelines about the sterilization of canned products.

I wonder if all those people who picked Ohio St. to win it all considered the fact that Kyree Irving would be playing for the Dukies? I sure didn't and despite a close call to the Wolverines, the Blue Devils have to be considered a very close second choice to cut down the nets in Houston. This team has a 3 headed monster in Nolan Smith, Kyle Singler, and Irving. The streak shooting Seth Curry and the Plumlee twins down low round out a solid squad that understands the pressure that comes with the NCAA tournament. And there is no better leader on the sidelines to have a team focused than Coach K.
Who is the best player in the tournament? Jimmer? Kemba? Nope, my money is on DK. That stands for man child Derek Williams who has led this young group of Wildcats into the Sweet 16. If you haven't seen him play, pay close attention. Built like a brick house, with super quickness, and a pure outside shooting stroke. Oh and he is 6'11''. Attention Cleveland Cavaliers, here is the guy you want in the lottery. He is probably the most "NBA ready" player in college basketball. As for this matchup, I don't think Arizona will be able to hang with the Dukies. If role players Kyle Fogg and Solomon Hill show up big, Arizona can put a scare into the Blue Devils but I just see too much depth by the Dukies and Kyle Singler is due for a breakout game.
Duke 83
Arizona 67

Two Papers and a Presentation
Note: Neither of these are anything I actually use at work. Well, I've used the adjoint one a tiny bit. The latter is in the spirit of computational geometry papers: it demonstrates an algorithm that runs (asymptotically) in the fastest possible time, but in practice you'll probably want to use an approximation that looks just as good. I was amazed I was able to find a practical application for a result that came out of toric varieties, but it's going to be tough on the reviewers as there seem to be so few people in the graphics world who know about multidimensional DSP techniques.
Two Tricks for the
Price of One: Linear Filters and their Adjoints
Fast and Exact
Convolution with Polygonal Filters
Of course, straight after submitting I noticed a bunch of pieces missing from some expressions. In places designed to help disambiguate things for the reviewers as well. Ho hum.
I also recently presented a very short presentation at the "Stupid Rat Tricks" part of the Renderman User Group: quine.sl: a self-shading shader. (For more on RSL see Wikipedia.) The source is available here. I don't think the company lawyers fully appreciated that this shader now allows their handiwork to be used like a texture map.
My presentation was completely blown away by the guy who implemented a large part of the Renderman interface completely in bourne shell. I can't think of a stupider thing than that! :-)
Back to untangling in the next post.
Update: I added a Mathematica 5 notebook illustrating the transfer functions in the polygonal filter paper.

In the adjoint paper, why do you write (a,b) = <matrix>(a,b) when you mean an update? To me this is very confusing, using (a',b') = <matrix>(a,b) would have been clearer.

I actually wrote that paper a few years ago, before I'd started playing with languages with immutable values (like Haskell), so it reflects my C++ background. My procedural programming colleagues didn't blink at it because it corresponds to the notation in almost all of the languages they use (from Matlab and Mathematica to Fortran and C++). I suspect the reviewers won't blink at it either.
But fundamentally, I do agree with your criticism and if I get a chance I may change my notation.

Wow, the quine is very cool. I once did one that did the cheating approach of sticking the source in an image (http://bobcopeland.com/tile.html) but that was in perl where quines are really easy to write. Table of all the ascii values is a nice approach.

Thanks for a wonderful blog. Most of your posts are great fun, but there is a technical connection here I feel obliged to point out.
The manuscript Two Tricks for the Price of One: Linear Filters and their Adjoints says:
It is closely related to adjoint mode automatic differentiation [5] although the principle under discussion here is more general as we are not in fact computing derivatives.
This isn't quite accurate. If we let
y = f x
where f : R^n -> R^m then we can define the Jacobian matrix operator J by
(J f x)_ij = (d/dx_j) (f_i x)
meaning that the (i,j)-th element of J f x is the derivative of the i-th component of f x with respect to the j-th component of x, evaluated at the given x.
Forward accumulation mode automatic differentiation efficiently calculates this matrix-vector product:
(J f x) v
for any vector v:R^n, and reverse accumulation mode automatic differentiation efficiently calculates this matrix-vector product:
(J f x)^T v
for any vector v:R^m.
In the case treated in the above manuscript f is linear, so we could write
f x = F x
where F is some matrix, so
J f x = F
(J f x)^T = F^T
(J f x)^T v = F^T v = f^* v
where f^* is the adjoint of f.
In fact the transformation described in the above manuscript is precisely reverse-mode AD, in this case. (Note that J f x is constant in x, so some simplifications occur. These are precisely the optimizations a good compiler would make in eliminating dead code or in simplifying a+0*b to a.)

You're only computing derivatives in the sense that any linear map is the derivative of some function. But actually, I have considered this. At one point I toyed with the idea of representing linear functions as quadratic functions in this way: you get a single representation (as sparse as your implementation of the quadratic) from which I think a compiler can extract both the linear function and its adjoint. I think that's right.

No, that's really not what I'm doing.
AD, at least in the form appropriate for consideration here, does not compute the derivative as a number. Rather it computes a linear function, namely a product with the Jacobian, that product being (J f x)*v for forward AD, and (J f x)^T*v for reverse AD, where J f x is the Jacobian matrix of f at x.
Here is another way to look at it. The Jacobian J f x is a matrix of numbers. But we can abstract away the representation of this matrix, instead considering it merely as a linear map. (In differential geometry this is called the push-forward.) That is what is done in AD. If we denote the forward-mode AD transform operator as Jf, then we have a numerical equality, Jf f x v = (J f x)*v, but calculated efficiently. And with Jr being the reverse mode operator, we have a numerical equality Jr f x v = (J f x)^T*v, but calculated efficiently.
When f is linear, Jf f x v = (J f x)*v = f v for any vectors x:R^n and v:R^n. These have the same extension, so we can say (linear f) => Jf f x = f. Similarly, (linear f) => Jr f x = f^*, where f^* is the adjoint of f.
Note that I'm not constructing any quadratic functions, or any other function whose derivative is f, or anything like that.
> ... representing linear functions
> as quadratic ...
From the linear function f:R^n -> R^m we can construct a bilinear form g x y = y^T (f x). Appropriate cascaded application of AD operators to g can yield f or f^*. This is made cleaner if we note that, in f x, the vector x is living in the input space of f; but in g x y, it is more natural to consider x to be living instead in the tangent space of some point in the input space of f; and to consider y to be living not in the output space of f, or even the tangent space of some point in the output space of f, but rather in the co-tangent space of some point in the output space of f. This renders the dot product in the definition of g meaningful.

- sigfpe said...
But this is what I mean by trivial:
(linear f) => Jf f x = f
Anyway, I think we understand each other, we're just using different names. Everything in my paper could be carried out by passing linear filters into a reverse mode automatic differentiator. (So on one level, of course it is differentiation.) But I see myself as extracting out the parts of the algorithm that aren't about explicitly derivatives because in the case that your function is linear you don't need to think about calculus, just multiplying matrices.

I've decided I like your point of view after all and I think I'll mention it if (1) my paper is accepted and (2) I get a chance to revise it. If this happens, I'd like to acknowledge you. What name should I use. (I think I know your full name but I could be wrong.)

Feeding your cat a proper diet is essential to his health and wellness.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, cats are obligate carnivores. They must eat a meat-based diet in order to get adequate protein in their diets. In addition, they need other nutrients such as taurine, fatty acids and vitamins.
The good news is that you can help your feline friend get the nutrients he needs by feeding him a healthy cat food diet. Because there are a lot of different types and brands of cat food available in the marketplace, you may want to speak with a pet health expert about which one is best for your animal.
The problem many pet owners encounter is that their cats are picky eaters. This often leads them to believe that feeding their pets table food is the best way to ensure they are getting adequate nourishment. But veterinarians warn that some foods you may think are okay for your cat could actually harm him.
While it's known that cats love tuna fish, feeding your pet a diet that contains too much of it is risky, according to WebMD Pets. Not only will a tuna-based diet leave your animal lacking many essential vitamins and minerals, it also puts him at risk of mercury poisoning if he eats too much of the fish.
Milk is another food that may be bad for your pet. Although he may like it, your cat may become ill after drinking milk, as most adult cats can't tolerate the lactose in milk.
Foods that contain onion, garlic and chives are also dangerous for your cat, although onions are the most dangerous. You should keep any products that contain onion products such as onion powder and flakes as well as raw and cooked onions out of your pet's diet. According to Cat-World.com, onions contain substances known as sulfoxides and disulfides which can damage cats' red blood cells and cause anemia.
Grapes and raisins can cause long term health problems in cats too. These foods may lead to kidney failure in felines and should be avoided at all costs.
In addition, alcohol and caffeine may harm your feline friend. According to WebMD Pets, just two teaspoons of whiskey can cause a five-pound cat to go into a coma, and large quantities of caffeine can result in poisoning that can be fatal. Clinical signs of caffeine poisoning in a cat include restlessness, rapid breathing, heart palpitations, muscle tremors and fits. However, pets suffering from the condition may not exhibit any clinical signs.
This being said, coffee and tea are definite no-nos for your cat. But other foods contain caffeine as well. This includes cocoa, chocolate and energy drinks.
Experts say that in addition to caffeine, chocolate contains another substance that can be fatal if ingested by cats. It's called theobromine and it may lead to abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizure and death.
Other foods that can make your cat sick include sweets, gum, avocados, citrus fruit, macadamia nuts, mushrooms, potatoes, yeast dough, liver and raw eggs.
If you suspect your cat has ingested a food that can be harmful to him, pet health experts say it is important contact a veterinarian.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In short: No thanks.In full: I had a fantastic day and this feedback is unbalanced. The good things that people have said are true BUT:(a) I lined up on the start just 10 yards behind the elite pen, only to see a captain scarlet and an 85 year old man in front of me. Were they really 55min runners? No. The organiser needs to do more to stop this or they will loose the club runner contingent. In fact they already have - at my 6min/mile pace, this was a lonley race. From 7 to 8.5 miles, I was alone, very alone (perhaps all my peers were stuck behind captain scarlet). Looking forward to Hayling 10 when there'll be a few more folks about.(b) The mile markers employed that well-known technique called "nearest lampost'll do"(c) Not a lot of support really. Portsmouth didn't really turn out - pockets of ten or 20 supporters at points along the course. (Well done to runners' families and friends tho - great support around the pier etc..) Portsmouth have got a long way to go before they match the east end of London during at FLM. And it *was* a nice daySo it's no thanks for me.Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: What can i say enjoyed every minute of the day.Where do i sign up for 2006Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: An absolute must!In full: Wow, what a race.I did this last year and have made the pilgrimage up from London once again, but this time have come up with a fellow running chum. (because its great!)Very fast today, wonderful weather, and ran to perfection as an event. Others event organisers should take a long hard look at this one, the crowd, water stations, bands and marshalls take a bow! Oh and Jimmy Saville would be proud of that medal!Would i do it next? your damn right i would.And ill bring more people, so spread the word!Well done PortsmouthThanks for another great race.1:15 and flying....Come On!Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Nice Weather, nice people, good run - 2006 beckonsDate of review: October 9, 2005
In short: A refreshing change from the Great North- A wave start that thinned out the crowd and a good atmosphere-fro once, the end appeared quicker thanI thought! On the negative-couldn't see the mile markers until later.Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Thanks Pompey - you did us proudIn full: I've been looking forward to this for ages - having grown up in the Portsmouth area the chance to run this race was too good to miss.Great day out - so many positives. The warm up guy, the support on the way round (including all the old people sat outside near the cathedral!), the musical entertainment, plenty of water, no real headwind in the last two miles, and most definitely the best medal and goody bag I have received. Saw Brendan Foster at the finish - hopefully this event will start to steal some of the GNR thunder :)Agree about the mile markers - I saw them all but then I was doing ten minute mile pace, and a couple had twisted round on lamp posts so they were facing the other way! Tiny gripe on otherwise near perfect day. Now has anyone got a new hip-bone I could borrow???p.s. a big thanks to the Cancer Research UK cheering bus at South Parade Pier, and their tent at the finish, for their support and good supply of chilled drinks. Most appreciated.Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Everything I could have hoped forIn full: Well, where do I start? The MC mentioned this website and and I hope the organisers read the comments.This race has a high ranking on this site for a reason. It's brilliant. Best race I've done in a while.I'll get the one negative out of the way first so I can compliment afterward. The slowness of others in the first wave. I know the waves are there to make it less congested but I still got jammed at the start, and I came top 200, so it's frustrating for me to have to pass people who have lined up at the front and then space themselves out in the first mile, blocking those who don't want to jog the first mile or so on a course that we could easily get a PB on. We've all paid the same amount on the entry, so please have consideration slower runners, if you cant run a 60 min 10 mile dont be in the first few rows. One guy fell over on the curb trying to pass on the inside, probably ruining his day/race.All I would suggest to the organisers to try and sort this is have markers with predicted finish times and lets hope people know what they can run. Failing this, I'm just gonna push to the front.Right, now for the good stuff. What a great chunky medal! Quite easily my fave in my collection, it feels worthy of the name medallion! Nice t-shirt, nice goody bag too. Best goody bag I've received.The crowds were great, and the cheering cannot fail to help push you on, a stirring feeling that only cheering can give. Even those few spectators by themselves in the more quiet sections were clapping and seemed happy to have us there. Nothing more heartfelt to watch children cheer there fathers/mothers on and it's also sweet for those many older ladies who seem to possess a great amount of passion in cheering strangers on. Nice to see the group of real oldies siting outside to watch us young bucks fly by.Mind you, anyone else want to boot that little kid in his doorway yelling at us to run faster? :PFast, really well organised, great atmosphere, great medal, fast results service online and via text.It's been a great weekend, and highlight race of the year. From hearsay the only one I can think of that can beat this is the London Marathon. This race should be bigger and can only get better, just make sure if there are more entrants, get them positioned right on the starting grid.This race is so good tho, it seems to have even tempted my friends watching and who live in Southsea to seriously contemplate joining in next year.All out of superlatives now, until next year, I cannot wait...Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: So much less congested than Gt North RunIn full: 1. 3 group start much the best way of aviding mass congestion - GREAT NORTH RUN TAKE NOTE !2. Brilliant parking/marshalls/signposting3. Easy to move around at start/finishBut 4.Where were the mile markers after 3 ??? Next one was at 10k! Why does this happen so often?5. Seafront crowd gives great atmosphere, rest of crowds a little thin and quiet ! (def compared to other big events)Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: What a day, sign me up for next year!In full: Really enjoyed the day!Date of review: October 9, 2005
In short: Why do I always seem to get fried doing a Great Run !!!Date of review: October 9, 2005

Topic: Importing CSV files into a database
I'd like to allow users to upload a csv file and then add contents of the csv file to my tables. What I'm looking for is a way to receive the file from a form input, then parse out the contents of the file, I guess into a series of arrays, then add the array contents into the tables. The step where I'm most hung up is how to receive the csv file and extract the contents into an array that I can work with. Is there a plugin, gem, or other simple solution for this?

Comments about Rainbow Sorting Crayons:
The larrge crayon containers are lovely and bright and great for colour sorting. The only problem is that the tubes are made of cardboard, so when the children try to put the plastic lid on, the top edge of the tube is getting damaged thus not allowing the lid to sit on properly. This is a shame as it is a popular activity at my playgroup but it will need replacing too regularly to make it value for money. I would rather have paid a little more for a more sturdy product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Thank you for your comments, these have been passed to our QA team and the issue will be looked into before future production runs

Just wanted to see if there server(s) is(are) down, or if it's just my ISP and maybe their routing tables are off or something. I was able to get to it less than an hour ago, so I assume their down for the count, but never hurts to ask right?

Just took a first look at the futures for NCAA in regular season wins, thought maybe there would be some discussion on it.
a couple stand out to me:
Over 8.5 UGA +105 - This looks like a very solid bet to me.
Over 9.5 PSU -125 - The schedule sets up well
Over 9.5 OSU -125 - Trying to not be a homer, but I can't get away from thinking this is a decent bet.

Did you, by any chance, go out to lunch last Wednesday? Maybe you were foraging around for a little fast food. And while you were out looking for lunch, did you notice anything peculiar?
"Hundreds of thousands flocked to Chick-fil-A around the nation for 'Appreciation Day.' … It was all to show support for the company after its president said he is against same-sex marriage," CNN reported.
It's a protest, baby! And finally, a form of activism Americans can fully embrace — causing social change through the act of eating a fast food sandwich. Looks like Gandhi had it backward. Now you may wonder how we got here. Two weeks ago, people got wind of Chick-fil-A's CEO and president Dan Cathy's feelings about gay marriage.
"I think we are inviting God's judgment when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,' and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about," Cathy said on "The Ken Coleman Show" on July 26.
Of course, it's perfectly OK to have the audacity to re-engineer God's chicken design to produce 95 percent breast meat. And then drop a couple of strips of bacon and slices of cheese on those bad boys because you can't take everything in Leviticus like it's the word of God.
Anyway, Cathy is a private citizen, and he's got every right to his opinions. So we've got ourselves a pretty typical culture war skirmish. It doesn't seem enough to warrant a Million Mouth March. Until …
"Boston Mayor Thomas Menino is promising to block Chick-fil-A from opening a store in Boston," MSNBC reported.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is also promising that he won't allow Chick-fil-A in Chicago, and San Francisco is telling the fast food restaurant it isn't welcome.
You know how conservatives are always complaining about the government persecuting them for their beliefs — mistaking not being able to do whatever they want when they want for censorship? Well in this case, I'm pretty sure they got something. You can't outlaw a company with perfectly legal practices just because you find their CEO's views repellant. I'm not sure which amendment covers that, but I'm pretty sure it's in the top one. I don't think these mayors thought this through.
I have no idea what actually drove people to Chick-fil-A last week. All I know is that if the massive culture war Armageddon comes in the form of record one-day sales of chicken, maybe everybody walks away from this a winner.
The right finally walks away with a legitimate First Amendment gripe. And for people who are gay or support gay marriage, I can understand how seeing thousands of people coming out to make this statement is disheartening, but take solace in this: Gay marriage is happening. It isn't going backward, and your bonus is you get gay marriage. All your political opponents are going to get is Type 2 diabetes.

Japanese Milk Bread
this recipe has more steps than the pyramid at Chichen Itza.
you will use every dish/pan/spoon in your kitchen. But, you will make this bread over and over, its that good.
millions of Japanese can't be wrong!
what you'll need my little geishas....
tangzhong mixture:
-1/3 c. flour
-1 c. milk
whisk together in small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture thickens, but don't bring it to a full boil. remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, combine:
-1/2 c. warm milk
-2 tsp. yeast
-3 Tbs. sugar
whisk to combine, set aside to let yeast start.
In a large bowl or mixer bowl (I told you there were a lot of steps), combine:
-2 3/4 c. flour
-1 tsp. salt
-1 Tb. powdered milk (I used powdered buttermilk)
Once your tangzhong is cooled off so that it won't hurt your yeast, measure out half of it (120 grams) into the yeast mixture with 1 large egg. Mix together and pour over dry ingredients in large bowl.
Let your dough hook work the dough until mixed then add:
-2 Tbs. softened butter
Let the hook work that in.
Now...at this point, your dough may be very shaggy, if it is, add some flour (up to 1/4 cup or so) a little at a time until the dough doesn't cling to the sides of the bowl any more.
Let the mixer knead the dough about 5-8 minutes.
Remove the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until the dough becomes less sticky and forms a smooth ball.
Rise in oiled bowl 60 minutes, or until double.
If your house is cool, put a few inches of warm water in your sink and set your bowl into it, covering the dough with plastic wrap.
Once risen, divide dough into 4 pieces..
Form each piece into a ball shape, then flatten out into an round disc shape, about 6 inches across.
Roll the discs up like you would dough for cinnamon buns and lay in greased pan.
For this recipe, I just used an 8" round cake pan.
Repeat with each piece and fit them all into the pan.
Let rise under plastic wrap about 45 mins. to an hour.
Carefully brush with a beaten egg.
Bake at 350*F for about 30 minutes.
At the 20 minute mark, I lay a piece of foil gently over the top to keep the bread from overbrowning.
The tangzhong mixture is enough for 2 pans of bread, so if you like, double the recipe and make it all!
But, you can reserve the rest of the tangzhong in the frig for a few days until you'd like to make it again.
Once your bread has cooled, if it makes it that far, store in a large ziplock bag to keep it fresh.
It will stay soft for a good while...not that it ever lasts that long around here.

I keep trying to tell people about the 65º/tangzhong method. It produces an amazing texture. I use it in every yeast bread I bake. It's especially good in my sweet yeasted breads.

its amazing halo!
thank you for stopping by and reaffirming this method. I don't think I'll ever make bread any other way again =)

So this is a kind of silly question but I'm really new to bread making. What kind of flour are you using? All purpose, self rising, bread flour? Thanks!
- May 4, 2011 at 8:32 AM
- Noshings said...
not a silly question at all, Lee.
you can use either, all I had on hand was all-purpose and it worked out just fine!

Thanks so much Noshings!

i don't have a stand mixer either, will a hand mixer work?
- July 8, 2011 at 6:49 AM

oh certainly, knead away!
it just takes a little more effort.

I tried making soft bread before, but my crust always turned out really really hard (but the inner part texture is all right).... what did I do wrong?
- August 15, 2011 at 5:02 AM

And BTW, your tangzhong method sounds intriguing, will definitely give this recipe a try.

hi, I just baked this bread, and I have to say it is the most delicious bread I've ever baked in my bread baking life!
It is exactly the kind of bread that I used to eat growing up. thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

I finally tried making the bread last night. It was so much easier than I thought and the result... FATABULOUS!!!! This officially is my favourite bread to bake :)
Thank you so much for sharing.

I tried making this bread but I found that the dough was WAY too dry and tough. Now granted, I don't have a mixer so I used my hands to knead the dough, but it was still rather difficult. I think it also affected the dough's ability to rise because it's so dense. Perhaps there was too much dough. I haven't given up though!
- February 8, 2012 at 1:55 PM
- Lucy said...
I found the dough to be really tough and dense as well but I mixed my ingredients wrong so I figured thats why. I am waiting on it first rise right now and I am hoping it turns out
- June 5, 2012 at 12:26 PM
- Noshings said...
hey Lucy, just checking in on you...how did your bread come out?
it is a little complicated, the workflow of the recipe is very picky on how your bread will come out.
- June 9, 2012 at 9:39 AM
- Lucy said...
It was amazing fresh out of the oven and still good the next day although a little dense but thats probably because I suck at baking bread lol
- June 13, 2012 at 3:34 PM
- Audrey Leong said...
Hello! Do you know why the bread turns out denser the next day? And is there a fix for that?
- October 21, 2012 at 12:51 PM
- Noshings said...
hmm...when I made it, it didn't get dense the next day. it stayed soft and fluffy until we ate it all. of course, it was gone that next day!
- October 21, 2012 at 8:52 PM
- Granny W said...
Bread can become more dense in time when it is not fully baked enough. When you think it is ready, knock on the bread, it should sound hollow, when in doubt, just add a few minutes more. For the lady with the hard crusts, you bake your bread mayby to long, soft bread should hold a bit more liquids than crustbread. If you wait untill a good soft bread is cooled down you should notice that the crust also gets softer. Just get it out of the oven on the moment it sounds hollow if you tap it.
It is all in the timing :))
A big compliment for this recipy, I made it and it smells wonderfull, just out of the oven and I will make this again :))

Made these tonight and the bread was so good. I used a 9" round pan and it rose up nicely. Wish I would've taken a picture. It was picture perfect. Toasty crust and soft inside. Thanks for sharing, Ellie. :)

- Mandy@Mandy's Recipe Box said...
I want to try this, but I am confused on the rolling up dough like cinnamon roll and putting it in the pan. The picture doesn't match those instructions. I don't mean to sound dumb. Help?
- January 30, 2013 at 3:12 PM
- Noshings said...
Hi Mandy!
All that means is to start at one side and start rolling it like a fruit roll-up :-)
Does that help or am I just confusing everyone? Lol
- January 30, 2013 at 3:20 PM
- cks43 said...
i was confused too about rolling it up like a cinnamon roll. It just didnt seem right lol. Instead i rolled 8 balls and placed them in a 9" round pan. Came out out lovely and tasty. You're right on about the mess in the kitchen :-p
Btw, this was my first time to bake bread using a kitchenaid (got it for christmas) rather than a bread machine...im so happy it was a success. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Time to be proactive
To the editor:
Those of you reading this and alarmed by what I advocate should consider the well-being of those prevented from taking any and all measures necessary to protect both the served (students) and those serving (teachers, administrators and support staff).
I am a Marine veteran. I was a teacher in the public schools for 30 years. I was forced into improvising how to protect the students "in loco parentis" of my school from this senseless violence.
Our school personnel are prohibited from being equipped to prevent great bodily harm, even death. The political response is to enact gun control laws, trading for what may seem as a safety measure. This will not work, because those having this desire will be resourceful – think prohibition and black market.
It is time to become proactive with measures to prepare for this evil. First, start by teaching students how to protect themself. The police show up as quickly as they can but it's usually after the violence is over. Secondly, I know what it is to be subjected to tear gas. Why shouldn't every classroom be equipped with this as a non-lethal way of protection? Some may say perpetrators would get a mask to protect them. I may be wrong but I don't think there is a video game that teaches the player how to practice controlling oneself under those circumstances, yet there are plenty sold, even given as gifts for Christmas and birthdays that teach how to kill without regard.
Another measure to be implemented is lawful concealed carry. I'm not advocating all teachers, administrators and support staff unwilling to be trained to carry, but those that are willing should be in training immediately. I am sure there is a myriad of protective measures beyond what I've suggested.
The complexity of this issue to those outside the immediate surroundings of our school buildings is multi-faceted: a) where did the guns come from, b) how could this happen, c) what went wrong in this person's life, d) who should have seen this coming but didn't, e) when will this madness end? Meanwhile, for those on the inside the subject at hand is quite simple: provide the ability to respond with "whatever it takes," "no holds barred," "to the end" to protect your most precious. A child's innocence is worthy of this endeavor. Be dutiful. Engage.
