|B. Is there significant confusion regarding FDA's interpretation of section 503(b) of the act?
| The Food and Drug Administration should simply approve without further delay over-the-counter (OTC) sale of emergency contraception - with no prescriptions required for any age group. This obviates the need for any new rulemaking. The two advisory FDA committees that exhaustively reviewed data in December 2003 found that emergency contraception was safe and effective and consequently recommended OTC approval.
More than 70 professional medical and public health associations including the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Adolescent Medicine have endorsed EC access for women of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged its members to "help ensure that all adolescents have knowledge of and access to contraception, including barrier methods and EC supplies.
When the age restriction was suggested at the December Advisory Committee meetings, the FDA staff noted then that it has been the policy of the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Drug Products to make no distinction between post-pubescent adolescents and adult women insofar as contraceptive use is concerned. The Advisory Committee members then rejected the age restriction proposal.
The apparent move by the agency to restrict access to young women, 16 years of age and younger, therefore flies in the face of the recommendations of the majority of respected medical professional associations and the government's own stated policy.

Aironet 1041 is not accepting mobile devices
Hi everyone, and thanks in advance for responses.
I got an Aironet 1041 (Air-LAP1041N-E-K9), and it's configured as standalone mode. I mean, after I've recieved it, I followed the steps to administrate it with web console.
So, everything is working perfect with PC laptops, but there's no internet connection with the mobile devices associated. Sometimes, the AP assigns an IP out of the dhcp excluded range, and sometimes when assigns a correct IP, there's no internet connection on the device.
Something special for the mobile devices? Maybe the "domain-name" option? (because the mobile devices are not in domain of course...)
Thak you.


text: Home- Academics- Departments and Programs- Physics & Astronomy- Academic Program Menu Menu Physics and Astronomy; Pre-Engineering (For 2016–2017 academic year) Professors Aveni, Balonek, Galvez Associate Professors Bary, Crotty, J. Levine, Parks, Segall (Chair) Assistant Professors Metzler, Tseng Visiting Assistant Professor Jones A student should select a major in the Department of Physics and Astronomy if he or she is interested in fundamental questions about the nature of matter and the nature of the universe, or in practical questions of engineering, applied physics, or space science. To be successful, a student should also enjoy mathematics and quantitative reasoning. More than half of the graduating seniors in this department go to graduate school in various disciplines, and many earn PhDs in physics, astronomy, and engineering. Approximately 25 percent enter technical careers directly after graduation. The others pursue careers in teaching, business (often technology-based), management, medicine, and other areas. The department offers several courses of general interest, not intended for majors. These courses are ASTR 101, Solar System Astronomy; ASTR 102, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe; ASTR 230, Astronomy in Culture; PHYS 105, Mechanical Physics; and PHYS 111, 112, Fundamental Physics. Major Program in Physics The major program begins with PHYS 131, 232, and 233, a three-term, calculus-based introductory physics course with laboratory. Entering first-year students should take PHYS 131 in the fall term. After these three courses students enroll in PHYS 334, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity, and PHYS 336, Electronics, which are normally taken concurrently in the spring of the sophomore year. PHYS 205, Mathematical Methods for Physics, is also required and is normally taken concurrently with PHYS 233. In the junior and senior years, four additional upper-level courses (300 or 400 level, excluding PHYS 334, PHYS 336, and ASTR 312) are completed, one of which is PHYS 410, Advanced Topics and Experiments, a required research project, completed in the fall semester of the senior year. In addition to these physics courses, MATH 111, 112, and 113 must be taken as soon as possible. Major Program in Astronomy-Physics A student interested in astronomy or astrophysics should enroll in this program. It requires MATH 111, 112, and 113; PHYS 131, 232, 233, and 334; PHYS 205, Mathematical Methods for Physics; as well as ASTR 210, Intermediate Astronomy and Astrophysics; ASTR 312, Astronomical Techniques; one of the following: ASTR 414, Astrophysics; ASTR 416, Galactic and Extragalactic Astronomy; or ASTR 313, Planetary Science; two additional astronomy or physics courses at the 300 or 400 level (excluding PHYS 334, PHYS 336, and ASTR 312); and PHYS 410, Advanced Topics and Experiments. A student interested in planetary astronomy should also consider the astrogeophysics program, listed earlier in this chapter. To be eligible to graduate with a major in any of the programs of this department, a student is expected to achieve a grade of C– or better in each of the courses required for the major. There are no exceptions to this policy. Additionally, a student's cumulative GPA for all courses counted toward the major must be at least 2.00. Minor Programs in Physics or Astronomy The minor in physics requires PHYS 131, 232, 233, and two additional physics courses, at least one of which must be at the 300 or 400 level. The minor in astronomy requires two of the following: ASTR 101, 102, 230; two additional astronomy courses that count towards the astronomy-physics major; and two physics courses that count towards the physics major. For both the minors, a grade of C– or better in all courses that count toward the minor is required. Honors To qualify for graduation with honors, physics and astronomy-physics students must complete and defend an honors thesis in the spring of the senior year. Normally, the honors thesis is an extension of the work completed in the capstone course PHYS 410 in which the results are written more formally and placed more carefully in the context of existing research. At the discretion of the adviser, an alternate form of the thesis is a manuscript submitted for publication in a journal. The option of an honors thesis is by invitation only; qualified students who perform exceptionally well in PHYS 410 are invited by the department chair, in consultation with department members, to try for honors. The thesis and defense are evaluated by department members and an external examiner to determine whether either honors or high honors will be awarded. In addition to the honors thesis, students must enroll in two additional upper-level physics or astronomy courses (300 or 400 level) beyond those needed to satisfy the basic major requirements. One of these courses may be an independent study course in which the PHYS 410 research project is extended and advanced. A GPA of at least 3.33 must be achieved in all upper-level courses required for honors. Awards See "Honors and Awards: Physics and Astronomy" in Chapter VI. Advanced Placement Credit for PHYS 111 will be granted to students who score 4 or 5 on the AP Physics 1 exam or the AP Physics C-Mechanics exam. Credit for PHYS 112 will be granted to students who score 4 or 5 on the AP Physics 2 exam or the AP Physics C-E&M exam. Placement into PHYS 232 without completion of PHYS 131 can sometimes be allowed following discussion with the department chair and the PHYS 232 instructor. Department majors who do not complete PHYS 131 will be required to complete an additional upper-level course to meet the major requirements. Placement out of PHYS 232 or 233 based on high school courses (including AP) is not normally possible. Transfer Credit Transfer of credit for physics and astronomy courses from other colleges or universities requires approval by the department. In particular, summer courses taken with the expectation of transfer credit must be pre-approved by the department well in advance of enrollment. International Exam Transfer Credit Transfer credit and/or placement appropriate to academic development of a student may be granted to incoming first year students who have achieved a score on an international exam (e.g., A-Levels, International Baccalaureate) that indicates a level of competence equivalent to the completion of a specific course in the department. Requests should be directed to the department chair. Any such credit may not be used to fulfill the university areas of inquiry requirement, but may count towards the major. Pre-Engineering Studies The department offers two ways to prepare for engineering: major in physics at Colgate and after graduation go to graduate school in engineering, or use one of the combined plans available in the department. To allow a student to combine education in the liberal arts with engineering training, Colgate has cooperative agreements with Columbia University and Washington University. A student may spend three years at Colgate and two at the engineering school (the 3-2 plan) to earn bachelor's degrees from both institutions. The student may be eligible to continue study for a master of science (MS) degree, which can sometimes be completed in as little as one additional year after earning the bachelor's degree in engineering. Eligibility for the MS program is determined by the engineering school. It is imperative for students interested in the 3-2 plan to begin the physics and math curriculum in the fall term of the first year. To be eligible for the 3-2 plan, a student must complete all physics major courses through PHYS 336 and PHYS 431 (or 451), plus one other upper-level physics course to be chosen in consultation with the pre-engineering adviser. Prerequisites for admission to engineering schools vary among schools and fields of study; therefore, it is necessary to indicate an interest in pre-engineering to the physics faculty as soon as possible. Preparation for Graduate School Students intending to pursue graduate studies in physics, astronomy, or engineering should discuss their plans with their major advisers as early as possible. Students who wish to prepare for graduate studies in physics or astronomy should complete PHYS 431, 432, 433, and 434. To enrich the program, a student should choose additional physics and astronomy electives at the 300 and 400 levels. Advanced courses in other science departments, especially mathematics, are also encouraged. Teacher Certification The Department of Educational Studies offers a teacher education program for majors in physics who are interested in pursuing a career in elementary or secondary school teaching. Please refer to "Educational Studies." Related Majors The department administers the physical science and astrogeophysics majors and serves as a home department for students in these programs.

How Dante beat Galileo to law of motion by 300 years
Tim Radford, science editor
Thursday April 7, 2005
The poet Dante Alighieri knew about modern physics as well as sophisticated rhyme. Some 300 years ahead of Galileo, the great poet of hell, purgatory and heaven described a physical law of motion now known as Galilean invariance, an Italian physicist reports today.
Galileo's principle says the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference. That is, someone moving at uniform speed observes the same experimental results as someone not moving at all. This principle became one of the foundations of the science built up by Newton and others.
But, writing in the journal Nature, Leonardo Ricci, of the University of Trento, northern Italy, says Dante spotted the same thing early in the 14th century. He did not pursue the logic but did describe it in canto 17 of his epic work Inferno.
In this canto, Dante and his guide, Virgil, descend from one circle of eternal torment to another by climbing on the back of the winged monster Geryon. In what is thought to be the first description of the sensation of flying, Dante is aware only of the air and the monster below him.
In a translation by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the canto runs:
Onward he goeth, swimming slowly, slowly
Wheels and descends, but I perceive it only
By wind upon my face and from below.
[Ella sen va notando lenta lenta;
rota e discende, ma non me n'accorgo
se non che al viso e di sotto mi venta.]
The lines reveal a remarkable intuition. "The observer Dante can imagine himself in a frame that a contemporary physicist would define, with a fair approximation, as inertial," Dr Ricci said.
Dante understood that such a wide spiral flight would be felt as motion in a straight line. But also, "Dante asserts that, aside from the effect of the wind, his sensation of flying was not dissimilar from being at rest ... this invariance [agrees] with the concept expressed by Galileo ... It seems Dante was well ahead of his time with regard to views about the laws of nature held in the middle ages."

Fla. prison officials say repeat offenders decline
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 2:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 2:06 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida prison officials say taxpayers are saving millions of dollars because the number of repeat offenders is declining.
Recidivism has been trending down for years. Department of Corrections Secretary Michael D. Crews on Monday said inmates returning to prison within three years of release dropped from 33.8 percent in 2003 to 27.6 percent in 2008.
Crews also said he supports proposals to increase re-entry facilities but opposes letting private companies run them.
Overall prison admissions declined to 32,279 in the budget year ending June 30. That compares to nearly 35,000 the year before and 41,000 in 2007-08.
Gov. Rick Scott's proposed state budget would use $21.2 million of the savings to pay $1,000 bonuses to guards and probation officers and $500 to other prison workers.

Senior broadcast major gets air time tonight on ESPN-U
Cory Burkarth, a senior broadcast major from Richmond, Va., will be a member of ESPN's broadcasting crew during tonight's 9 p.m. telecast of the men's basketball game between South Carolina and Florida.
Selected to represent the university by journalism professor Rick Peterson and School of Journalism and Mass Communications Director Carol Pardun, Burkarth will be guest talent on ESPN-U, which will broadcast the game simultaneously with ESPN's primary cable channel. Joining Burkarth will be ESPN commentator Rob Stone and University of Florida student John Hornbuckle. They will focus more on campus life and student involvement at the respective universities and less on play-by-play or color commentary.
The broadcast, part of ESPN-U's "Campus Connection" series that allows students to participate in practically every aspect of the production process, will feature videos taken by both students of their respective campuses.
Burkarth directs "Capital City Sports," a 30-minute campus sports television show, which airs weekly on SG-TV. The show, which operates through the Office of Student Media, reports on Gamecock athletics and campus club sports.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
We assume it's easier to part with an Olympic gold medal when you have four more on your mantel, but still, the legendary Dallas sprinter made us all proud when he dashed toward integrity in June. After learning that four of his U.S. 1,600-meter relay teammates had admitted to taking steroids in preparation for the Sydney Games in 2000, Johnson announced he would return his medal because "I know the medal was not fairly won and that it is dirty." Johnson, who maintains he's never doped, still owns the world record in the 200 and 400 meters and still has a burgeoning training facility in Mc-Kinney. Thanks to his class act, he also still possesses his good name.
Kenny Cooper just may save American soccer or at least take it to the next level. At just 23, Cooper has all the skills to develop into a premier-level striker, the one thing the U.S. National Team has always lacked to go from middling to elite status. Unlike Landon Donovan, the current poster boy for American soccer, Cooper has not just speed, but also brawn, making his game a good fit for the bruising international stage. This year Cooper is an MLS All-Star and one of the league's leading scorers.
SMU's AD, turns out, could sell green bananas to an astronaut headed for the International Space Station. After all, he's got the Methodists again believing in big-time sports. In his two-year reign, SMU has constructed the $13 million Crum Center basketball practice facility, spent $1 million upgrading Moody Coliseum, splashed Dallas with a $750,000 "Pony Up" marketing campaign, drawn blueprints for a new outdoor tennis center, eased admission standards, maintained a 97 percent graduation rate and hired former national coaches of the year in basketball (Matt Doherty) and football (June Jones). To pay for Jones' unprecedented five-year, $10 million contract, Orsini persuaded a "Circle of Champions" to invest $100,000 for five years. Miracle on Mockingbird, indeed.
It's OK. Your heroes can still be Cowboys. Best buddy Tony Romo has more famous girlfriends, and Terrell Owens has more shiny endorsements, but no player was more important to the Cowboys last season than Witten. Already with a spot reserved in the Ring of Honor as the franchise's all-time best tight end, the Pro Bowler caught everything thrown his way and yanked us off the couch with his helmet-less gallop against the Philadelphia Eagles. Precise routes. Nimble feet. Pillowy hands. But the best reason to be smitten with Witten: He balances his $28 million contract with a 28-cent ego. A night after rubbing elbows with Jamie Foxx and Serena Williams at T.O.'s birthday party last December, Witten spent the day making friends at Carrollton's Rainwater Elementary School. Oh, and also, Witten's smart enough to realize it's not a good idea to sing at Wrigley Field when you can't, in fact, sing. Right, Tony?
By all accounts, the manager was as good as gone in late April. His team had baseball's worst record (9-18). The Bad News Bears displayed better fundamentals. Washington was this close to getting axed. Owner Tom Hicks admitted it was "pretty close." But just as management began constructing a contingency plan and even a list of potential successors, the Rangers suffered injuries to front-line veterans, began getting production from unheralded youngsters and shockingly climbed back into playoff contention by the All-Star break. One of Washington's strengths is his patience and his unflappable demeanor. The Rangers deserve credit—albeit barely—for giving him the chance to display it.
Next to Jimmy Johnson vs. Jerry Jones, and Mark Cuban vs. Don Nelson, the divorce of Dallas' most popular sports talk radio duo proved one of the most compelling in recent memory. Williams initiated the destruction with Rhyner—his longtime host on The Ticket's The Hardline—via habitual lying and drug use. But the dismissive treatment of Williams by station management and former co-workers escalated the story from a regional phenomenon into national news. The feeding frenzy was unprecedented, generating almost 400 reader comments on our Web site. Or, about 400 more than the following week's dissection of the Rangers. In the final analysis, Williams ruined his career, a radio show and almost his life through reckless, selfish actions. But 15-year friends ignoring him only inflamed the situation. And two wrongs don't make a right. They just make us all sad. For everybody involved.

PSE Octane Tuning.
Little introduction...
Nearing 50yrs old - Born and raised hunting, southern style. Last bow was a PSE Lazer back in the day before I went self employed. Shot competitively when I was younger and was fairly good at it.
Fast forward to current...
Went into Law Enforcement and can finally get back into the swing of things. So, I venture down to our local pro shop (local business, recently into Archery sales (year or so)) and talk to the pro shop about my future purchase. We go through the basics, decide that my DL is still the same as it was some ~30+ years ago @ 31" and I want at least 70# DW.
We decide on a left over PSE Octane. I'm no small fella @ 6'5" ~285lbs. So, I want something with a little bigger rizer so my hand will not dwarf the rig. The pro staff assures me that the Octane is what I need.
Well, now after a full 30 days - what I was told is not exactly the truth. The Octane has a max DL of 30". My anchor, instead of the corner of my mouth is at the end of my chin. My release lets me anchor at my jaw bone and because I've not been into the sport for sometime now, muscle memory only knows what I'm shooting now and not what I remember to be correct.
I was told with a module change along with cable/string application, that could be adjusted. I mean, I only need an inch, right? Well, apparently the Pro Staff can't seem to make that work.
Getting to my final point/question....
I'm all over the map trying to get things dialed in. I've taken the bull by the horns and decided to tune it myself because now I'm roughly ~600 bucks into something I may or may not be able to hunt with this coming season.
Currently, it's set up like this.
True Glow 5 Pin. Wisker Biscut, limb savers, silencers and everything maxed out as far as adjusting goes. I/we have tried everything save a self aligning peep tube to get my peep to align right. I can adjust it and after a few rounds, it's not close. When I do get it to align and try to get my sights even hitting the paper (so to speak) my large adjustment on the sights are maxed on the rail. (yes, they're installed properly and not upside down).
Tonight, I was able to start a fairly decent group @ 15yds but I can't for the life of me get it below ~4" of center. No matter how far I chase the arrow and no matter how center my peep is in relation to the sight. My 15yd pin is completely maxed up top as far as it will go.
I'm a little confused and frustrated at the same time. It's a local business and although I know the owner and his family, I'm at the point of completely starting over, without them. Would hate it, but, it is what it is.
Am I missing something here? What am I doing wrong.
(sorry for the long winded text and thanks for any input).
Frustrated in Florida!

From my experience your never going to shoot that bow worth a darn if its an inch short on draw length.That kind of takes the fun out of it when you have to fight it all day.Think I would go talk to the shop owner and try to work something out since they miss represented that bow, hopefully it was just a mistake on there part and not done intentionaly.
Here's what I think !
Correct fit it is very important !

But the Seattle Seahawks called an audible and flew in the face of "fate," defeating the Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVII.
He was so gentle, making love to every syllable, just audible.
When Saddam walked in, there were audible gasps from some of the journalists and Iraqi officials in the room.
Instead, the voice told us that former President Ronald Reagan had died, and the punters let out an audible sigh of relief.
Still waiting for audible to release the unabridged versions of The Fugitive and Time Regained.
She had only freed herself when her father and sister broke in from the salon, attracted apparently by the audible commotion.
At this dramatic climax there was an audible sigh from my audience.
The tumultuous beating of both their hearts was audible amid the unbroken silence that ensued.
And still she answered nothing, but the gurgling of her sobs was audible to him enough.
Yet, as the result seems to show, his soul must have spoken some word to the soul of the child, audible to none other.
1520s, from Middle French audible and directly from Late Latin audibilis, from Latin audire "to hear," from PIE *awis-dh-yo-, from root *au- "to perceive" (see audience). Related: Audibly.

Erin Gately's Dream Job
It's not easy to determine how green computer products are, but Erin is working to change this. At the Green Electronics Council, Erin works on an online tool that helps people select and compare computers based on their environmental performance.
A passion for saving the planet
Trained as an industrial engineer, Erin was working in the marketing department at Hewlett-Packard when she took a class on how much humans consume and how drastically such consumption affects Earth. The class had a profound effect on her, and Erin thought that she might leave HP to find a job protecting the environment. But Hewlett-Packard was recruiting people to help design more environmentally friendly products. Erin stayed with the company to become an environmental product steward, combining her engineering skills with her passion for saving the planet. Now she is a Registry Services Manager for EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) and ensures that computer manufacturers are accurately representing how green their products are.
Best part of being an engineer
"Getting your engineering degree teaches you to fully use your brain. My background is in industrial engineering, but my analytical-thinking skills are applicable to my whole life. I have used my skills in manufacturing engineering jobs and marketing jobs, and also in my current job managing EPEAT's Quality Assurance programs at the Green Electronics Council."
Favorite project
Erin was part of a team that investigated using biodegradable corn-based material to manufacture the shell of a printer.
B.S. in industrial engineering, University of Miami, Miami, Florida; M.B.A. in Sustainable Business Practices, Bainbridge Graduate Institute, Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Erin and her husband have a daughter and twin boys.
Soccer, volunteering for environmental organizations, and reading, "which is an important part of my life and recharges me. I read at least one or two books per week."
Fun Fact
Erin raced a sailboat from San Francisco to Oahu with a team of eight other women. They were the first all-woman crew to finish the Pacific Cup!
"Go for it! Being an engineer doesn't mean you can't have a life. You can be an engineer and have a social life and a family too. My engineering degree has allowed me to be whatever I have dreamed of being."

Agnes Denes
One of the early pioneers of both the environmental art movement and Conceptual art, Agnes Denes brings her wide ranging interests in the physical and social sciences, mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, poetry and music to her delicate drawings, books and monumental artworks around the globe.
In 1982, she carried out what has become one of the best-known environmental art projects when she planted a two-acre field of wheat in a vacant lot in downtown Manhattan. Titled, Wheatfield -- A Confrontation, the artwork yielded 1,000 lbs. of wheat in the middle of New York City to comment on "human values and misplaced priorities". The harvested grain then traveled to 28 cities worldwide in "The International Art Show for the End of World Hunger" and was symbolically planted around the globe.
In 1996 Denes completed "Tree Mountain -- A Living Time Capsule" in Finland. This massive earthwork and reclamation project involved the construction of a "mountain" on the site of an old gravel quarry and the planting, by volunteers from different countries, of 11,000 Finnish Pine trees in an intricate pattern. The volunteers were then each given inheritable certificates (valid for 400 years) which . .(Read more)

We are on week three of the hubz' meatless cleanse. He gets one 'cheat' day per week, usually Sunday. He can eat meat until he's gassy, if he pleases. But to be honest, I'm really proud of him. He's only cheated once outside of his Sundays. (He gave into BBQ, that saucy temptress...) And even more surprisingly he's actually been enjoying the vegan dishes I've been preparing for him. It's been a nice break for me as well. I typically have to prepare two separate dinners. One with meat, and one sans meat. So for me, because I cook for myself lastly, it's nothing more than a large plate of roasted cauliflower. And cauliflower is great and satisfying and all those simple adjectives used to describe super simple yummy food. But it's just cauliflower. Nothing else. My husband would starve to death. So I've been getting a little help from some of my blogger friends who are more experienced in putting together photo-worthy, carnivore-approved vegan dinners.
Last week we enjoyed a few things...
Roasted Curry Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry, by Chef Amber Shea at Almost Vegan
Copycat Panda Express Orange Sauce with 'Popcorn' Cauliflower and Veggies, compliments of Chocolate-Covered Katie
My very own Southwest Veggie Pasta (which I'll blog about eventually)
Whole Grain Pasta with Mushroom Marinara and Roasted Veggies (I'll also blog this recipe!)
Amber's White Bean and Broccoli Pasta Toss
Vegan Tacos, Topped with Fresh Pico and a Side of Black Beans and Brown Rice (also on the backlog)
We also sneaked in some supposedly lightened-up desserts, like this vegan and gluten-free pumpkin coffee cake with ginger snap streusel topping. And yes, this will ALSO be on the blog very soon, so no worries, hungry peeps.
And just a little something I rolled up on a lazy afternoon...
Now that you've indulged yourself in food porn, let's get back to lentils. Cheap. Extremely versatile and forgiving. And most importantly, SATISFYING. They fill up hungry bellies. Yes, even those big guys who pound their chests and scream for a steak. And cheap. I think I paid $1.09 for an entire 14-oz. bag of lentils at Wal-Mart. No, they weren't organic for all you food snobs. Sorry, I'm on a budget right now. BUT I'm willing to bet you can still find bags of organic lentils for a relatively reasonable price online, at Trader Joe's, or purchased in bulk. And all of the veggies used in this dish are ALSO very affordable, especially when you have an awesome City Market that sells things to you at wholesale cost.
This particular recipe was inspired yet again by one of my favorite vegan blogs on the blogosphere, AlmostVeganChef.com. Amber and I have VERY similar tastes in food I discovered after spending hours, which turned into days, browsing through all of her drool-worthy creations. Indian, Ethiopian, comforting, sweet stuff, and so many effortless raw desserts, which are not only HEALTHY for the body but tasty to the tongue. You can check out her original recipe here for these curried lentils. I didn't change much, but I did prepare them in a slightly different way, making the overall dish itself a bit thicker, more stew-like (although I'm sure that Amber's dish probably thickens up quite a bit when left in the fridge overnight). I didn't have all the jalapenos I needed on hand, so I just used the one I had, including some of the seeds for heat, and then added some additional cayenne pepper. (The dish was still overall relatively mild, so I would probably add more jalapenos next time.) I also played around with the spices a bit and made them extra flavorful by using veggie both in place of the water originally called for. And as for the lentils, I 'pre-prepared' mine so that I could actually freeze half of the full batch and pull out later in the week for a super quick and easy 30-minute meal.
Curried Lentil Stew (makes 6-8 servings)
- Half a full batch of 'partially' prepared lentils, red or brown (see notes on preparation)*
- 3 C. veggie broth (or chicken stock if you're not vegan)
- 1-2 Tbsp. EVOO or coconut oil
- 1 large onion, minced
- 1 large green bell pepper, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced (the more seeds you leave in, the spicier this dish will be)
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- One-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced into discs
- 1 C. frozen peas
- 2 tsp. sugar (I used raw cane sugar, which has the rich taste of brown sugar)
- 1 1/2 tsp. good-quality curry powder
- 1 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. smoky paprika
- 1 tsp. tumeric
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- Lots of freshly minced cilantro (I probably used close to 1/2 C., adjust to suit your taste buds)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 C.cooked brown rice
*Preparing the Lentils:
So I'm basically just softening the lentils up a bit, using half for the recipe, and then freezing the other half. Why do I do this? Quick and easy, folks. Now although I still tend to slowly simmer, on low heat, most of my soups, stews, beans, etc., I like having the option of pulling out partially-prepared lentils and then quickly stir-frying some veggies, adding a bit of liquid to bring everything together, and possibly enjoying a meal in 30 minutes.
Take a 14-oz. bag of lentils, dump into small stock pot (soup pot, whatever you use/call it), add about 6 cups of water along with a tsp. of sea salt. Then just bring to a soft, rolling boil and then immediately drop your heat to medium-low and ONLY allow these to simmer for 5 minutes. They will also be soft enough to eat at this stage with some 'bite' left in tact. Then drain the water off immediately and set aside half of what you just prepared to be frozen and the other half to be used right now. *(If you would rather not deal with this step, you can simply add the lentils at the time you pour in the veggie broth, allowing them to cook as everything else simmers. But be aware that you may have to add in more liquid over time as the lentils will soak up some of the liquid during the cooking process.
Cooking Directions:
1. Heat oil in large pot (I used a large sautee pan with high edges, enough to hold the stew) over medium heat.
2. Toss in all the minced veggies, minus the frozen peas, along with your spices, cilantro, and sugar. Also add about 1/2 tsp. of salt to start and to 'sweat out' the veggies. (I always salt in stages, small amounts at a time, to ensure I do not over-salt my dish. So add in small increments, and taste along the way!)
3. Cook all of this mixture together, stirring around from time to time, for about 5-7 minutes, or just until the veggies are becoming soft and everything is smelling very fragrant.
4. Slowly add in the veggie broth. Turn the heat up a bit so you can bring this mixture to a 'soft' rolling boil.
5. Once 'softly' boiling, add in the lentils and immediately drop the heat down to medium-low.
6. And now, we just finish cooking this off until most of the liquid has been absorbed, and the stew is nice and thick. There are two ways to do this. You can opt to cook this at just a slightly higher temp., with the lid off, until you reach your desired thickness. Since I'm always multitasking, I chose to cover the entire thing and just allow it simmer on medium-low for about 45 minutes. Now be forewarned. Doing it this way WILL make the lentils very soft. So if you want more texture, finish cooking over slightly higher heat with the lid OFF.
7. Finally, stir in the frozen peas, cover, and remove from heat. And give everything one last taste, seeing if you need to add more salt and black pepper. Then just set the entire thing on a back burner, allowing the peas to thaw out and heat up. This will also allow the flavors to come together, the stew will thicken, and everything will taste amazing. (The longer you allow this to sit OFF of the heat, the thicker it will become.)
Now you are ready to eat! I served mine over prepared brown rice, but you could certainly eat it over anything, or simply straight out of a bowl with a spoon, which is what I did for breakfast the following day.

Am trying to store array information gathered from a form. The form is dynamic s the info can include a different number of fields and different names. As such it seems the best way to package the info is in an array or multidimensional array and then store that array into the DB.
There seems to be two ways to do this: serialize() or json_encode() I was wondering which one is be considered the best practice.
So for example the form could have any # of text inputs named detail[]/ paired with any number of selects named detailKind[], it also has a variable set of single fields ... named: samples[]after the form is submitted encode the info as such:
$storeMe=array('detailKind'=>$POST['detailKind'], 'detail'=>$POST['detail']);$putIntoDB1=serialize($storeMe); // OR $putIntoDB1=json_encode($storeMe);$sampleStore=$_POST['samples'];$putIntoDB2=serialize($sampleStore); // OR $putIntoDB1=json_encode($storeMe);
I like JSON because the data remains readable in it's stored form; you can even edit the JSON text w/o corrupting the object! BUT multidimensional arrays get stored as objects and not arrays which means an extra checking and extraction step.
Serialize() keeps everything in array form, but is not as pretty ( or mailable ) after encoding.
Which methods would the forum experts favour?
Thanks again, as always your insights are greatly appreciated
If you're going to ask me, I'd rather to use json_encode()
Thus far, I am leaning that way too.
do you know of a way to make json_encode/decode single multi dimension array like:array (array(),array()); as an array and an object? that would be perfect in my situation.
Seems to me that serializing a data structure in any way for storage in a DB is considered bad practice. It's far better to set up your tables and relations to accommodate dynamic data. For example, details and samples each sound like a many-to-many relationship. That is, a record can be related to any number of samples, and a sample can be related to any number of records.
well the samples, for exmples, are image URLs. For the convenience of the user I coded it so that using .js a new sample text field would be created ( instead of entering a comma separated list) this means that there could be anywhere of 0-infinity associated URLs.. so it was better to keep all of the data in 1 column.
I could have IMPLODED the string, but encoding or serializing seemed safer.
Yes the other option would be to create a table for samples ( with a linking columnID) ... .. which is ok . but Details has KINDS of dietails/ then sample/ and the data itself and then the actual data. That an additional 3 tables, so 4 tables to out put one string seems wrong.
If this is a one-off script that will have a short lifespan, then the quick-and-dirty serializing solution may be OK. But if this is for a larger application that may need to be updated over time with new requirements, then I strongly suggest you use a normalized DB schema.
I'd opt for json_encode, simply because that way you will get back what you inserted when you json_decode it. With serialize however:
Be aware that if useing serialize/unserialize in a serverfarm with both 32bit and 64bit servers you can get unexpected results.
Ex: if you serialize an integer with value of 2147483648 on a 64bit system and then unserialize it on a 32bit system you will get the value -2147483648 instead. This is because an integer on 32bit cannot be above 2147483647 so it wraps.
-- http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php#68748
Put down the serialize and step away slowly.
Thanks guys. A follow up question.
How come when you json_encode a SINGLE one dimensional array you get back a single multidimensional array, but when you encode a multi dimensional array you get an object?
I realized I had used associative arrays for the multidimensional info... doh!
There seems to be simple solution for you, just use json_decode($json, true):
mixed json_decode ( string $json [, bool $assoc = false [, int $depth = 512 [, int $options = 0 ]]] )
[...] assoc When TRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays.
This way you will always get back arrays instead of objects.
I think the point about large integer overflow is irrelevant here because the OP wants to serialize form fields - and form fields are always strings or arrays of strings. However, json is better for human readability.
It's not so much about single vs multidimensional arrays but rather about numeric vs associative arrays. Because JSON is JavaScript Object Notation it must follow the rules of javascript data structures. In javascript there is no such thing as an associative array, arrays are very simple structures of elements with numeric keys 0, 1, 2, and so on. They can be multidimentional as well. So for example, this php array can be directly converted to JSON:
[0] => zero
[1] => one
[2] => Array
[0] => val0
[1] => val1
However, when the keys are not in straight numerical sequence starting at 0 or they are not numeric, then they cannot be represented in a JSON array, they have to be converted to objects. For example this php array:
[0] => zero
[1] => one
[5] => Array
[a] => val0
[b] => val1
will have to be converted to objects by json_encode:
stdClass Object
[0] => zero
[1] => one
[5] => stdClass Object
[a] => val0
[b] => val1
And this is what you will get back from json_decode. However, simply use true as the second param to json_decode and you will get back arrays.
LJ, that was a point i overlooked (that is that non sequential , yet numeric, array strings are in essence associative) More specifically ,since from returns were numeric , ordered arrays (name[], tittle[], etc[]) .. that when I tryied to join these into one (associative array..using the name of the original form variable) array then make use jsn_encode i got back objects.
jsn_decode ($json,true ); does the trick.. I was just having one serious brain f@rt ... thanks all
