Tulips from Anatolia,

Well, of course.
They're mountain flowers.
I knew that.
And isn't Holland below sea level?
Like New Orleans?
Hmm . . . I wonder if Holland
Has a Blue Dog, too.
The Tale of the Tulip
"A famous legend from Turkish lore tells of a handsome prince named Farhad who was stricken with love for the fair maid, Shirin. One day he heard that she had been killed, and in his grief, mounted his favorite horse and galloped over a cliff to his death. It is said that from each droplet of his bloom, a scarlet tulip sprang up, making the flower an historic symbol of perfect love."
From Wild Tulips and Daffodils by Ray Allen, President, AmericanMeadows.com. Consulted on April 23, 2006.
Why Is Blue Dog Blue?
Why, what other color would he be?
He's BLUE. Can't you see?
George Rodrique answered this question himself in a delightful book called Why is Blue Dog Blue?"Rodrigue answers the title question by explaining that Blue Dog's color depends on what the artist is doing: when Rodrigue goes fishing, he paints the dog a salmon color; when Rodrigue wants a hot dog, he paints the dog mustard yellow, and so on. . . . young Blue Dog fans will enjoy seeing their favorite pup dressed in different colors, and Rodrigue's liberating reminder that "Artists don't have to paint things the way they really are . . . "

Preparing for Graduate Study:
- Test Prep Preview Joshua L. Stewart recommended this site because it has free practice tests. If you're thinking of taking the GRE, the LAST, or any other graduate entry test, this might be a good place to gather some early information. Joshua suggested it for Praxis Practice, but a quick first look suggests they don't mean by praxis what we do. Check it out, anyway, if you have some spare time. jeanne
Resource Literacy
- Urban Legends Reference Pages. They post rumors and scams and phony e-mails circulating, to offer you a quick check. It worked for me. I entered "Fat Boy" as a google seacrch, and when I saw the Snopes.com link, I knew it would help, and it did. To not check your sources is as grievous as to plagiarize someone else's information and writing. A Page from Urban Legends As an Example.
- the-artists.org Good quick reference site with many of the artists, art schools, and visual approaches to present social issue that we discuss. Added April 8, 2005.
- Plagiarism Watch www.streetgangs.com site. The intelligent and effective use of resources means that you have to be careful not to plagiarize other people's material. We have several files on plagiarism, but I think the one that might make the most sense to you is this complaint on streetgangs.com. They give you samples of sites that have taken their material without citation, even at colleges, and they also give you examples of sites that have used their material with proper attribution. I find the irony poetic, and hope that their message will get through to you the importance of attribution. Dr. O'Connor on his Mega Criminal Justice site led me to streetgangs.com and noted that others frequently hack into the site. For that reason I have created a backup copy for your use in case you cannot access the actual site. Please be sure to attribute any citation to streetgangs.com. jeanne Backup.

- Career Options You Might Not Have Considered
- visual media and their interdependence with other means of knowing to understand that we are not totally rational creatures deciding things apart from our feelings and values. Wolfowitz (new President of the World Bank to aid developing countries AND principle advocate of the Iraq War) might feel very differently when he is exposed to visual and aural images of the poor developing countries that have not before been his primary concern. So we want to know how best to present those developing countries visually. And we might find that we can have a career doing that sort of thing, so it does reflect on us as individuals.

The Rizzo Farrugia Malta Government Stock Index
When commenting on the performance of the Malta Stock Exchange, a commonly used term is the MSE Share Index. This is the local benchmark used for tracking the overall movement in the shares on the Official List of the Malta Stock Exchange. The main Index components currently are HSBC Bank Malta plc, Bank of Valletta plc and International Hotel Investments plc due to the size of these companies compared to the "smaller capitalised" companies such as Go plc, Malta International Airport plc and other listed companies. Therefore, movements in HSBC, BOV and IHI have a greater effect on the direction of the MSE Share Index than the movements registered by Go, MIA, Farsons and other smaller companies.
While this index provides a good way indication on the overall performance of the local equity market, there is no official index published indicating the movement in Malta Government Stocks. As much as it is important for investors to keep track of the trend in shares, it is equally important for investors to monitor the movements in the bond market especially following the volatility of international sovereign bonds over recent weeks and the strong take-up by retail investors in the recent 20-year bond issued by the Treasury.
In view of this, Rizzo Farrugia & Co have launched "The Rizzo Farrugia Malta Government Stock Index", also referred to as the "Rizzo Farrugia MGS Index". As the name implies this Index tracks the trend in Malta Government Stocks only and is not impacted by any changes in price movements of corporate bonds. Since not all Government Stocks trade on a daily basis, the Rizzo Farrugia MGS Index is based on the bid prices quoted by the Central Bank of Malta to provide a more meaningful trend. All MGS's listed on the MSE are included in the Index and these are weighted by the size of the stock. So the €458.8 million of the five per cent MGS 2021 has a larger impact on the Index than the smaller issue of €52.4 million 5.2 per cent MGS 2020.
The Index is backdated to December 31, 2008 in order to measure the performance of MGS's over the past two years. From a starting level of 1,000 points on 31 December 2008, the MGS Index read 985.33 points 1 year later, implying that the overall direction of MGS's showed a loss of 1.5 per cent in 2009. On the other hand, during 2010, the Index edged 0.6 per cent higher to 991.64 points, but still below the level 2 years ago.
The MGS Index tracks movements in the bid prices of all Malta Government Stock issues quoted by the Central Bank and due to the inverse relationship between bond prices and yields, an increase in the Index represents a decline in yields and vice versa.
The graph of the Index clearly indicates the low of 966.17 points in June 2009 and the recent high of 1,020.21 points in August 2010 as eurozone yields dropped to their lowest levels. The steep rally from a level of 999.78 points on 27 July 2010 to 1,020.21 points on 31 August 2010 coincides with the sharp downturn in the benchmark 10-year Eurozone yield from 2.77 per cent to 2.11 per cent following Ireland's rating downgrade by credit rating agencies Moody's and S&P on the back of increased concern with respect to the sustainability of its spiraling sovereign debt and the possible contagion to other EU countries.
However, after rising to its recent high in the summer months, the Index has since declined by 2.8 per cent as international sovereign bond prices dropped and yields recovered strongly from their lows. There are several factors that led to this drop in bond prices (and resultant increase in yields), namely: (i) fear across markets has subsided and as a result appetite for riskier assets has increased as evidenced by the recent upturn in global equity markets; (ii) the economic outlook has improved in the US and Germany although concerns remain on the high level of unemployment in various parts of the world; and (iii) there are growing fears on the state of sovereign public finances and Germany may need to purchase increased levels of debt of the eurozone peripheral nations which are finding it increasingly difficult to borrow on the international markets.
Although risk appetite internationally increased and bond prices declined in recent weeks, demand by the local investing public for the third tranche of the 5.25 per cent MGS 2030 paper reached record levels. In fact, last month the Treasury attracted €146.45 million from retail investors for the two recent MGS offerings.
Despite the recent rise in yields, these are still very low by historic standards with the 10-year eurozone benchmark level at around the three per cent level compared to a level of over 4.50 per cent in 2007 and 2008.
The recent rally in international yields was mirrored on the local market with the Index declining by 2.8 per cent within a couple of weeks following the sharp decline in some of the longer-dated MGS prices from their recent highs. The 7.8 per cent MGS 2018 (I) suffered a drop of 992 basis points from its recent high of 133.83 per cent to 123.91 per cent. Similarly the 6.6 per cent MGS 2019 (I) tumbled by 779 basis points from a high of 124.00 per cent to 116.21 per cent and the 5.5 per cent MGS 2023 (I) dropped by 710 basis points from its recent high of 115.26 per cent to 108.16 per cent.
While the Rizzo Farrugia MGS Index has shown a minimal overall movement over the past two years, the MSE Share Index (which tracks the performance of equities) has appreciated by 7.9 per cent in 2009 and a further 4.1 per cent so far in 2010. The improved performance from the local equity market compared to the local Government Stock market over the past two years is similar to the trend seen overseas. It also very much reflects the fact that shares outperform bonds over the long-term despite their high level of volatility as was clearly evident in 2008 and 2009.
In anticipation of an increased likelihood that international bond prices will continue to decline during 2011, various international commentators are suggesting that investors should consider increasing exposure to shares of stable companies offering attractive and sustainable dividends. Despite the economic challenges which still cloud the immediate outlook for some companies, dividends that are attractive compared to bond yields and which are increasingly likely to improve as company profitability grows is being seen as a common theme for 2011. This scenario may well also apply locally.

Halloween Horror Nights, the hallmark Halloween event at Universal Studios Singapore will be back in 2013! This is of course, my favourite park event (and I've always wished the park would be in Halloween mode all year…)
Halloween Horror Nights 3 event info now available!
Looking for Halloween Horror Nights 3 event information? Check out the Halloween Event Guide here! Get to know the event dates, hours, ticket prices and find out what's in store at Halloween Horror Nights 3!
Universal Studios Singapore is looking for talents – and lots of them. A strong cast of scare-actors are needed to fill the scare zones and mazes each year, and of course, the park always try to outdo what they have done before.
Scare-actors form the cast at Halloween Horror Nights events. They perform in scare zones (outdoor) and mazes (indoor) while wearing character costumes, make-up and/or masks. This is an energy-demanding role, with work hours from the evening till late (1AM~2AM) each night. Of course, scare-actors don't work throughout the entire night. Each "role", or character is performed by a few cast members, so they perform in sets (no longer than an hour) and rotate among themselves.
Obviously, being a scare-actor in Halloween Horror Nights also demands the total absence of any fear of darkness, (fake) blood, claustrophobic environments or frightening imagery.
Do your research!
Feel free to refer to all my blog entries on Halloween Horror Nights in 2011 and 2012. I tried to be as descriptive as possible, so the posts vividly narrate what past HHN events were all about. They also give potential scare-actors a feel of the HHN atmosphere, character costuming and make-up. The videos from 2012 feature several scare-actors deeply in character while roaming around scare zones.
And of course, if you are a scare-actor this year, you may be featured in this year's photos and videos!
If you've got what it takes, note down these details and attend the audition! Be sure to prepare your routines, costumes and spine-chilling grimace and other special talents.
Good Luck!
All the best, and I hope to see you in the park this year!

EGRP News Flash - August 19, 2009
NIH Notice of Intent to Publish Requests for Applications for the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) recently published a notice in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts of its intent to publish a set of Requests for Applications (RFAs) to solicit applications for the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program (BCERP). One RFA will support new laboratory and/or epidemiologic studies on environmental influences during critical windows of susceptibility that have the potential to modify a woman's lifetime risk for developing breast cancer and another RFA will support coordinating functions for the BCERP.
Investigators with expertise in the role of environmental exposures on the development of the mammary gland and breast cancer risk are encouraged to consider applying for these new RFAs. The RFAs will invite applications from eligible institutions to participate in:
- Environmental Influences During Windows of Susceptibility and Breast Cancer Risk, RFA-ES-09-009 (U01): This arm of the program will support novel experimental and clinical studies focusing on the gene-environment interactions and molecular mechanisms of environmental influences on breast cancer risk that operate during critical windows of susceptibility over the female life span. This arm allows for studies focusing on animal models, cellular and molecular studies, and/or ancillary research projects on existing epidemiologic cohorts. Projects with multiple principal investigators are encouraged to promote a multidisciplinary approach. Grantees will be required to partner with breast cancer advocates and/or members of the engaged community.
- The Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Coordinating Center, RFA-ES-09-010 (U01): The Coordinating Center will manage pooled data and facilitate site-specific and pooled data analyses; facilitate collaborations between epidemiologic and laboratory studies as well as outreach and dissemination; organize the Steering Committee, sub-committees, and meetings among supported investigators; organize an annual National Scientific Meeting; support the operations of an advisory Breast Cancer and the Environment Working Group; and administer an Opportunities/Pilot Fund to enhance collaborations and exploit emerging scientific opportunities.
It is expected the RFAs will be published in September 2009 with a receipt date of November 30, 2009. The contact for general questions about epidemiology is EGRP's Gary L. Ellison, Ph.D., Program Director, Modifiable Risk Factors Branch, and the contact for questions about laboratory-based studies is Neeraja Sathyamoorthy, Ph.D., Program Director, Division of Cancer Biology; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thanks for all the help with my Littlejohns in 1930
It occurs to me that I can pinpoint a marriage date for Elizabeth a little
better, and see when James left the family, if I could locate the family in
the 1885 or 1895 state census.
Does anyone have access to these? I realise that they are not so readily
available as the federal censuses.
In the city directories for 1887 and 1888 their address is given as "21
France", Norwalk, Connecticut
When the father John died in 1893 his address was 9 Prospect Hill. Later
the family lived in Brush St and then West Avenue

Remember Wham Bars, Fruit Salads, Mojos, Space Dust and Refreshers? With his business A Quarter Of, Michael Parker has recreated an old-fashioned sweet shop online, selling 700 varieties to satisfy the demand for retro sweets
Selling sweets by the quarter and with illustrations inspired by the classic comic Whizzer and Chips, online sweetshop A Quarter Of was established in 2002 to recreate the sweetshops of the sixties, seventies and eighties.
The brainchild of owner Michael Parker, A Quarter Of has grown rapidly in line with demand for retro sweets. "I wanted to create something I would enjoy doing. I hadn't got a clue it would take off like this," says Michael.
The inspiration for the business came when Michael and his brother were in the pub, reminiscing about the sweets they used to buy from their local sweetshop. Michael couldn't let go of the idea so he did some research and discovered that some of the old sweets were still being made.
The result is a website offering 700 varieties of sweets that's full of nostalgia and fun. "It's entertaining and a bit tongue in cheek," says Michael. "People can spend fifteen minutes on the site without necessarily buying anything and that's fine."
But customers are buying and the business is growing fast. In the run-up to Christmas, staff numbers swell to about 35 as they dispatch three tons of sweets a day. And that's just to individuals. Michael has also set up a wholesale business to meet the demand from retailers. "We have a 10,000 square foot warehouse and we're looking for a new place twice the size."
The power of PR
Michael's marketing strategy has clearly paid off. "We had a three-pronged approach to marketing right from the start, focusing on word of mouth, PR and search engine optimisation. Word of mouth is the most important. Happy customers bring in more customers," says Michael.
In addition, PR has brought A Quarter Of to the attention of millions of potential customers. "I always thought traditional page advertising wouldn't work for our business and focused more on the PR side. And it has worked exceptionally well," says Michael. "I have done about 90 radio interviews and we have had a full page in the Sun, three pages in the Daily Telegraph's Saturday Magazine, plus a page in the Daily Mail and coverage in the Times."
And that's not all. Michael has appeared on Sky News twice and was also a guest on ITV's This Morning.
At the same time, search engine optimisation and some pay-per-click advertising has helped the website to keep appearing at the top of searches. "I did search engine optimisation right from the start and we got our first orders before our credit card processing had gone live when Yahoo promoted us as one of its sites of the week," says Michael.

Building a loyal following has enabled Michael to create a customer database of more than 80,000 people who subscribe to the regular A Quarter Of newsletter. "Now we are getting into social networking," says Michael. "We use every way possible of communicating with people and let them choose how they want to communicate with us."
Much of the company's growth has been driven by customer demand. For instance, demand for wedding favours has opened up a whole new market. A Quarter Of also gets enquiries about sweets that people remember from their youth. When Nestle relaunched Texan bars (a chocolate-covered toffee bar from the seventies, advertised by a cowboy with the line, "Sure is a mighty chew") as a limited edition in 2005, A Quarter Of sold 20,000 in just six weeks.
"We're fortunate that we haven't been hit by the credit crunch," says Michael. "When times aren't so good, people look for inexpensive treats. Nostalgia never seems to go out of fashion. We couldn't stand still if we tried."
The top ten best sellers on A Quarter Of:
- Flying Saucers
- Wham Bars
- Foil Iced cups
- Anglo-Bubbly
- Sweet Tobacco
- Black Jacks
- Fruit Salad
- Rhubarb and Custard
- Pear Drops
- Milk Gums
A Quarter celebrated its 10th Birthday in 2012. To celebrate they organised a limited edition of the first ever Whizzer and Chips comic from 1969 for all customers placing an order.

Now that it seems spring finally is here, it is not too early to start planning for the South Mountain Fair. The fair opens early again this year on August 1 at 4 pm and runs through August 5. Please take note of this early date.
The Penn State Master Gardeners of Adams County recently awarded Service Pins and Charms to Master Gardeners for achieving goals of volunteer hours, and for years of service.
Mr. Yuk has been a familiar face in many schools in Adams County during the months of February and March. This green, not very happy face was first seen in the early 1970's. It serves as a reminder to be careful with chemicals and other common household products that could become a poison if not used properly.
Gardening in Your Environment is a seven week course offered every year by the Adams County Master Gardeners with a slightly different twist each year.
We must make friends with bees if we are to continue to have food that in large part is pollinated by bees. Our farmland is constantly being reduced by housing developments but our farm production has risen over the decades because of better methods of farming. Bees are part of that improvement in farming methods, and Master Gardeners are helping with the science of finding out where the bees are and what plants they like to feed on.
The first day of spring has arrived after an Arctic cold February and the entrance of March as a lion. However, an early Easter is nipping at their heels. So, our thoughts turn to candy, flowers and decorations.
Mr. Jack Frost comes silently upon your garden in the early morning hours, and when daylight comes, you see sad, browned foliage and drooping flowers. What do you do next?
As a homeowner with a sloping lot by Lake Meade, I have learned that the problem of rainwater runoff reaches beyond my own landscape all the way to the overall health of our regional waterways.
Most of your earliest spring garden color can come from bulbs. If you enjoy seeing active growth as early as March (and sometimes, even February), now is the time to plan and plant. Hopefully, any questions you have will be answered here.
Gardeners are always hoping for good soil in which to plant. A recent theme throughout the summer months has been one of different soil types: May and June plantings in the vegetable garden depended on the right combo of soil, sun and rain, and a July sermon at church focused on planting seeds in good soil to produce the best spiritual results. Conversely, seeds of doubt that fall on "fertile soil" could serve to taint the desired result.
Fall is a good time to start family gardening; you don't need a large project to start with. Planting spring blooming bulbs such as crocus, tulips or daffodils in a flower bed or a good size outdoor container is easy and can be a Saturday adventure. Going to a gardening home store or shopping online is informative and fun for children.
As we reminisce about the 151st Anniversary of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, here are some gardening techniques that a woman would reflect upon and utilize in 1863.
"What's black and white and green all over?" Well, it's the same answer as for the old riddle: "What's black and white and read all over?" Of course, that would be Newspaper.
Do you own your yard? Or does your garden own you? How less complicated life would be if everyone understood the value of gardening with nature. People would grow trees, shrubs, and a variety of flowers and vegetables, with minimal lawn area. There would be birds singing everywhere. There would be little or no need for pesticides which affect our water sources.
Look on any magazine rack and you'll see there is no shortage of magazines on gardening. Beyond the seasonal, there are the monthly and bi-monthly publications that are most economical if you subscribe to them. The following selection guides you to a few of these available garden publications.
April and May are two of the busiest months in your garden. Get a jump on some of the maintenance now, so you can enjoy those early spring blooms.
Springtime is a wonderful time of the year to enjoy the surprises of nature. One of my favorite activities is to take a walk and look for spring wildflowers poking up from their winter nap.
"Green Roof' is an environmental term -- it is not a metal or shingle roof that is green in color. It is a roof that is environmentally friendly because of the use of soil and green plants in its construction.
With all the excitement, celebration, passion, and enthusiasm of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, I thought that it would be fun to learn about gardening during the Civil War. Gardening was a means of sustenance and survival during that era.
The bald eagle population is on the rise in Pennsylvania and is one of the great wildlife conservation stories.

Stephen Elop
Microsoft has said repeatedly that it's transforming itself into a devices and services company, and that phrase is even spiked out in Ballmer's official retirement announcement.
Nokia (NOK) CEO Stephen Elop is leading the Windows Phone 8 charge — the cornerstone to Microsoft's attempt to adapt to a mobile world. While Nokia isn't exactly setting the world on fire and many question Elop's decision to go with Windows instead of Android, Nokia's Lumia line of Windows smartphones has almost single-handedly moved Windows Phone from an also-ran into third place in the battle for mobile OS market share.
So Elop knows more than a little about devices, and he's well-versed in the potential of Windows for the mobile market. He also held a senior role at Microsoft, heading the division responsible for Office, one of the company's most consistently profitable products.
Bringing Elop on board as CEO — possibly buying Nokia and bringing it under the Microsoft fold as part of the "devices" mandate — would be a big move that could shake up the smartphone market and give Microsoft a new head of steam, with the comfort of having a guy at the helm who also understands the value of legacy products.
Reality Check: Each of these candidates is a long shot, but of the three, Elop seems the most plausible. Nokia and Microsoft are closely aligned at the moment, and Nokia is hurting. Now could be the time to snap the company up, make it the official Windows Phone division and bring Elop on board to run the whole thing.
As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

MANY of the little children were led away as if for a surprise, holding hands, their eyes closed, an urgency in their step. There were too many terrible things to see.
An entire classroom of children was said to be unaccounted for. A kindergarten classroom was also reportedly laid waste. One little girl was caught on video in a silent scream, as if hurt by a terrible dream.
If the young survivors were not crying, they were, as one teacher described, intent on one thought: ''I just want to see Christmas.''
One unnamed little boy, with rosy cheeks and old-fashioned haircut, told CNN he had been on an errand, delivering papers to the front office, when he heard a sound like someone kicking a door. ''I saw some of the bullets going past the hall that I was right next to, and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom.''
Robert Licata has told how his six-year-old son saw the gunman burst in and shoot his teacher. ''That's when my son grabbed a bunch of his friends and ran out the door,'' he said. ''He was very brave. He waited for his friends.''
Apparently the shooter did not say a word. Brendan, 9, screwing his eyes up and shaking his head but speaking carefully, told CNN: ''I was in the gym at the time … we heard lots of bangs, and we thought it was the custodian knocking things down. We heard screaming so, we, um, we, um went to the wall. And we sat down and the police came in and said, 'Is he in here?', and then ran out.''
Brendan and his classmates then went to a closet and hid until the police returned.
Alexis Wasik, 8, heard gunshots in the neighbouring classroom, and sirens soon after.
''Everyone was a little scared, crying, and I felt actually a little sick, and like I was going to throw up,'' she said. ''Kids were crying, not really like screaming, but they were all huddling together. They felt so sick.''
One of the haunting and damning aspects of this event is that the teachers knew immediately what was happening: another school shooting.
They also knew that if found, they would be killed without mercy. Rather than be transfixed by fear, there was an almost universal response: to hide the children they cared for.
One of the last classes to be evacutated was that of teacher Kaitlin Roig, 29. She had been meeting with 14 students, all aged 6 or 7, and ''talking happily'' when Ms Roig recognised the sound of rapid gunfire.
''I knew something was wrong,'' she told America's ABC network.
She immediately closed the classroom door, and herded the children into the class bathroom.
It was a tight fit, and some of the children she piled on top of the toilet. She then pushed a wheeled storage unit in front of the door and told the children to be absolutely quiet. ''I said there are bad guys out there and we have to wait for the good guys.''
Then the children started crying. ''I would take their face and tell them, 'It's going to be OK.' I wanted that to be the last thing they heard, not the gunfire in the hall.''
But she did not believe they would be OK. ''I thought we were all going to die. I told the kids I love them, and I was so happy they were my students … I said anyone who believed in the power of the prayer, we need to pray and those who don't believe in prayer think happy thoughts.'' A third-grade music teacher, Maryrose Kristopik, managed to save 15 children by barricading them into a closet, while Lanza loomed outside screaming: ''Let me in. Let me in.''
Ms Kristopik was hailed a hero by parents. An unnamed mother, whose nine-year-old son was among the children said: ''I want to thank her. She saved their lives.''
Librarian Yvonne Cech locked herself, an assistant and 18 fourth-graders in a closet behind file cabinets in the library.
Diane Day, a school therapist at Sandy Hook, also hailed the school's unnamed ''lead teacher'' as ''our hero'', after she was shot twice while using her body to barricade a door without a lock.
Ms Day told The Wall Street Journal the shooter arrived outside the room and tried to enter, only to be thwarted by the teacher, who was wounded in a leg and arm as he opened fire through the door.
One woman told CNN she saw a group of small children ''running up through our back field. And, by God, those poor little guys were running.''

Best of the truffle salt
Posted by Unknown on 31st Dec 2012
We have been using truffle salt for quite a while and have tried many different types, both from here and other companies.
When we ran out last time Salt Traders had this salt, which was new for us.
It is a true truffle salt, and is double the amount of truffle compared to other salts we have tried.
You can really taste the difference

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. and MINNEAPOLIS , Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc. (Amex: ONT) and Zencoder, LLC announced today that they are collaborating to build a high-capacity video encoding service within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
On2 will integrate its On2 Flix Engine video encoding software with the Zencoder video transcoding system to create a web-based service that lowers costs for content publishers while also providing nearly unlimited encoding capacity.
"In evaluating partners for our service, we sought someone with strong web application and virtual computing experience, and Zencoder fit the bill perfectly," said Eero Kaikkonnen, Chief Marketing Officer at On2. "Integrating our Flix Engine with Zencoder will provide a flexible solution that handles every aspect of the video publishing lifecycle -- from job queuing to encoding to storage -- while requiring minimal effort by developers. In fact, after subscribing to the service customers will be able to start publishing videos the same day."
"Cloud computing, like Amazon EC2, is perfect for video transcoding. Transcoding is CPU-intensive, and transcoding tasks usually come in waves. So Amazon EC2 gives us enormous CPU resources that we can scale up, and down, as needed," said Jonathan Dahl , founder of Zencoder.
Service Will Simplify Development, Reduce Costs for Customers
Video web sites who publish large quantities of content in-house face two significant problems. During slow traffic periods their encoding servers are underutilized, resulting in wasted resources. When traffic is heavy, however, the servers can become overwhelmed, decreasing quality-of-service and frustrating end users.

God in the Age of Kali
Gurus Wear Different Garb
In India, gurus and Godmen come wearing a variety of garb, for the 1.1 billion Indians neither speak one language, nor worship God in one form. Different class, caste, ethnic, linguistic, regional, cultural, and educational affiliations make Indians one of the most diverse peoples in the world. How could one guru cater to and satisfy them all?
Thus, a book that I finished reading last week, titled Midnights with the Mystic, made me aware once again of the very fertile Indian ground that enables the birth of someone like Jaggi (Jagadish) Vasudev, known now as Sadhguru, who travels the globe, rides BMW motorbikes, and even soothes the anxieties of the very rich and powerful who meet annually at Davos to ponder the future of the world.
Very little of the details of Jaggi Vasudev's early life is available—either in his talks, on the Isha Foundation website, or in the books written about him. In Kannada, the language that Vasudev grew up speaking, which happens to be mine too, there is a saying that one should not inquire into the origins of a river or of a "rishi" or sage. Whether these gurus fight shy of revealing their lives for fear that their mystique will be diminished, or truly because they want their disciples not to get lost in the thickets of the ordinary and the mundane, we don't know. Thus, beyond the fact that he was born in Mysore, that his father was a doctor, and that he came under the influence and tutelage of the well-known Karnataka yogi, Malladihalli Raghavendra Swami, and that one of his grandmothers (or was it great grandmother?) was "God-crazy," we know very little of the many years that Vasudev spent in Mysore. I believe he might have been attending college, while I did too, between 1977 and 1978, because he is just a year younger than me. If indeed he completed his BA in English at the Maharaja College in Mysore, as it is reported, and I was working on my MA in political science on the nearby University of Mysore campus, our paths may have crossed in some nearby coffee shop. He was not Sadhguru then, and I was not a very happy camper at the University of Mysore dorms since some of the young men belonging to the politically powerful Gowda caste were rife on campus twirling their mustaches, stealing and opening letters that they thought contained some juicy boyfriend-girlfriend revelations, and jumping the line for hot water for baths!
Jaggi Vasudev, before he had revelatory experiences, supposedly loved to ride his India-made motorbike fast and furious around Mysore, started a poultry farm which proved very profitable, and even got into the construction business, which we are told is now leveraged for helping well-off disciples design and construct earth-friendly homes. Then, one day, while he was sitting on a rock on the Chamundi Hills that overlooks the city of Mysore, he felt a powerful, expansive feeling that changed him forever.

Calendrical savants are people with considerable intellectual difficulties that have the unusual ability to name the weekdays for dates in the past and sometimes the future. Three criteria are proposed to distinguish savants whose skill depends on memorization from those who calculate: range of years, consistent deviation from the Gregorian calendar, and variation in latency with remoteness from the present. A study of 10 calendrical savants showed 5 met one or both of the criteria concerning range and deviation and 9 met the third criterion. The second study assessed their arithmetical abilities using tests of mental and written arithmetic. This broadly validated the attribution of calculation as the basis for some savants? skills. The results are discussed in relation to views that calendrical savants imply the existence of a modular mathematical intelligence or unconscious integer arithmetic.

Find Your Adventure
Travel Stories
Crossing Cultures: Exploring Ecuador's Jungle
by GEORGE OXFORD MILLER
Stirring the fermenting pot of nijiamanch beer with her hand, our hostess, Chines, fished out a masticated root mass, squeezed it like a sponge and tossed it on the ground. Chickens squawked and dashed for the tidbit. Then she dipped a gourd bowl into the milky brew and headed my way.
I'd read about nijiamanch and knew that Amazon indigents drank the liquid instead of water. The flavor of the beer comes from manioc root, which women chew, spit into a pot and leave fermenting for three days. Now, as I relaxed in a remote, Ecuadorian thatched hut, I knew it was my turn to try nijiamanch first-hand.
A Community Effort
Our adventurous cocktail party with a local Achuar Indian family was just one of many cultural connections made on our trip to Kapawi Jungle Lodge, located east of Quito on the banks of the Pastaza River, a tributary of the Amazon near the Peruvian border. With the help of Canodros S. A., an Ecuadorian travel company specializing in tours to the Galapagos Islands, the local Achuar community has embarked on an effort of ecotourism at its purest, offering an authentic cultural and jungle experience for guests of the lodge.
Aided by the $1.5 million provided by Canodros, the Achuar constructed 20 cabanas and central buildings using only native materials and indigenous construction techniques, such as vine lashing and wooden pegs. Not a single nail was used in the entire complex. Fifteen years from now, the business will be handed over in full to the tribe; in the meantime, Canodros works with them, training them for the future venture.
The rustic elegance of the lodge belies its remote location. When first arriving, we had trouble remembering we were in one the least traveled sections of the Amazon basin. A 100-yard boardwalk from the river leads to a cluster of thatched-roof cabanas with jet-black, palm-wood floors, and porches with hammocks overlook a picturesque lagoon. Each cabana features flushing toilets, a solar-heated, warm-water shower, screened windows, bed with mosquito net, and electricity. The spacious lodge has comfortable lounging furniture, a bar, and a selection of Achuar crafts.
Jenny, a recent college graduate from Connecticut, summed up our first impression: "Wow, I could get used to this," she said, and headed straight for the hammock.
Granted, the journey in was epic, as we traversed the Andes and hundreds of miles of unbroken rainforest in a Cessna, landed on a dirt strip, and then traveled another one and one half hours by motorized dugout canoe. On our river ride deep into the jungle, we passed only one thatched house. There was no question that we had crossed into another world.
Though the lodge offered unpretentious comfort and delicious meals, we never needed reminding that we were in the jungle. At night, caimans splashed in the water underneath the cabanas, and by day, macaws and toucans screeched in the surrounding trees.
The Early Bird Gets the ... Bird?
The days started with birdwatching along the river for the early risers. A flock of twenty or so chicken-sized hoatzins squawked from overhanging limbs and stared at us as though we were the attraction. Parrots, toucans, and dozens of colorful birds flew across the water and through the trees. We spotted up to 25 species in an hour, but professional birders have been known to spot 100 of the 500 total local species in one day.
After a three-course breakfast with fresh juices and fruit, homemade pastries, cereal and omelets, guests had a choice of easy, moderate, or difficult excursions into the jungle. Some hike-and-canoe outings lasted a few hours and covered easy terrain, while others took all day and traversed rugged jungle trails.
On our first all-day hike, our guide, an Achuar named Ruben, stopped and told us through an interpreter, "Be careful, don't touch the heliconia plants along this part of the trail. They're covered with stinging ants." Wielding his machete like an extension of his arm, he then cleaved a path through the overhanging vegetation. We passed through unharmed, but dozens of angry ants swarmed over his shirt.
Medicinal Matters
Ruben paused frequently along the trail to explain the use of a plant. The large, lemon-scented leaf of maito is used to wrap meat for cooking. He nicked a dragon-blood tree and red sap poured out - a liquid used as an astringent and an ulcer treatment.
The wayus plant had a more esoteric use. Achuar families rise at 4 A.M., sitting together to share their dreams and drink wayusa tea. "We drink about a liter each," Ruben told us. "Then we go into the bushes and make ourselves throw it up. It purifies us for the day."
Guests also learn about local culture by visiting with locals in their homes, such as my fascinating experience with Chines and her husband Sumpa. Their dwelling was a 10- by 12-foot thatched hut with a dirt floor and no walls, located on the banks of the Pastaza River. A two-foot-high platform served as the bed, and the one shelf held three gourd bowls. A tattered basket, black tail feathers, and a monkey's tail hung from the woven thatching. Two skinny dogs lolled by a smoldering log. To share nijiamanch with a visitor was an act of extreme hospitality for the Achuar. To drink the nijiamanch was for us, an act of extreme faith.
Approaching me, Chines extended the bowl with a half-toothless smile, then retracted it. Ever the concerned hostess, she flipped out a bug with her fingers, then held the bowl for me to take a swallow. I smiled graciously, taking a sip. It tasted like bitter yogurt. After one round of the group, her daughter arrived with a algae-covered milk jug of brown river water, which she added to the sooty pot. Chines refilled the bowl and made another round.
"Is this safe to drink?" I asked our tour leader in English.
"No problem," he said. "The fermentation kills the germs. They drink gallons of it every day."
Guests of Sumpa
While Chines offered refreshment, we talked with Sumpa, who sat at a small table covered with toucan feathers. He sorted them into colors to make a traditional headdress while we told him where we lived and what we did. Separating the red, yellow, and black breast feathers, he then stuffed the rest into an empty shotgun shell box.
We sensed the chasm between our culture and theirs when talking with Sumpa, though he wore a T-shirt from a hotel in Quito and Ruben wore a European-style soccer shirt. Until the 1960s, the Achuars had no contact with the outside world. Necessity for the tribe is still a machete, a dugout canoe, and a shotgun. They have no public schools, health clinics, nor grocery stores. The river and their gardens supply all tribal needs.
Other guests confirmed that the Achuar interaction was authentic, and not a show for tourists. Tim, an advertising accountant from New Jersey, came back from his visit to an Achuar family with red streaks marking his face.
"I couldn't believe it when the man came up to me and painted my face. He put an
arrow on my forehead and a cross and two lines on my cheeks. He said it would give me strength and confidence in battle. It was a real bonus moment for me."

Every professionals must stay in touch with their industry and know the future trends. They must know the underlying and future trends so that they will be able to adapt to their industry changes. Likewise, as a professional wedding photographer myself, I have been keeping track of all the Singapore wedding photography trends.
Here are some trends of the local wedding photography in Singapore. Let me share my insights with you.
1. Indoor wedding photography is going to be extinct. In my experience, the number of people asking for indoor wedding photography decreases every year. Sooner or later, everyone will just be taking outdoor wedding photography. No one will take indoor wedding photography anymore. Indoor wedding photography is too rigid. On the other hand, the creativity that can be applied on outdoor photography is boundless. You can choose to have your wedding photo shoots any where you feel like it. The entire photo shoot experience will be much more relaxed and comfortable outside than being cooped in a studio. Moreover, people also feel the societal pressure to take outdoor wedding photography just because everyone else is doing it. Indoor wedding photography is perceived as outdated in Singapore.
2. White and pink gowns
The most commonly wore gowns by the brides are white and pink in color in my experience. What color of wedding attire the couples are wearing does make a difference to the photographer. You will have to choose the wedding venue wisely, taking into consideration the different colors that will be inside the photograph. Colors should blend together with each other and make the photograph look awesome.
3. Natural backdrop
More and more people prefers to have their wedding photographs taken in natural, scenic places rather than urban backdrops. I guess Singaporeans are tired of seeing modern buildings and skyscrapers which can be associated to stress and work. They want to take their wedding photographs in somewhere relaxing and stress-free.

I've been enjoying a few new things lately that I thought were worth a share.
Japanese Ginger Grater
Even if I just spoke about this ginger grater alone, I'd consider this a very worthy post. This Japanese grater is absolutely brilliant. I used to use my Microplane for grating fresh ginger, but was invariably stuck cleaning out the fibres that got lodged in there. This, my friends, is path-breaking. I'm not the kind impressed by kitchen tools easily because I belong to the school of thought that you don't need a gazillion new-fangled different tools to cook. Stick to the basics, and you'll be fine. Come to think of it, the last tool that did get me excited was the Microplane, which was so many years ago. Now the hard part of sourcing it; I bought mine from Merci in Paris for €7.90 and I just looked up Amazon and they have one as well.
The Perennial Plate
I have been watching the short films on food by The Perennial Plate on and off ever since I discovered them (thanks 101 Cookbooks!). Their latest one documents the dabbawalas of Mumbai. Made me miss home.
Jerusalem (USA | UK | India)
I've wanted to buy this book ever since it released. I've kept so many book purchases on hold only because we've been living like nomads (and loving it) but I finally gave in and bought this one – I've made the butternut squash, Brick and Krantz cake already (aka babka) and like all Yotam Ottolenghi recipes, they've all been pretty darn amazing.
Coconut sugar and sticky coconut syrup
As a kid, and even as a teenager, I never liked coconut. Of late, however, it's been quite the opposite. Every time I'm at the Chinese market, I'm constantly on the lookout for anything coconutty – I picked up coconut sugar on one visit and have been eating it straight from the jar (my new Nutella/Speculoos?). I've also been using it to add into Asian curries in place of palm sugar. It's addictive. On another trip, I discovered a Vietnamese sauce Nuoc Mau Dua Ben Tre, or simply put, condensed coconut. Now, Chinese markets are filled with hundreds of exotic ingredients and I usually go there with a shopping list in hand, but blinded by my new-found coconut obsession I bought this without knowing anything about it. If you've used it before, please tell me what you did!
Bon Appétit Desserts (USA | UK | India)
I've been flipping through the pages of Bon Appétit dessert and everything in there looks so good! I have the page for the (surprise-surprise!) coconut milk bundt cake dog-eared. Cannot wait.
Skillshare Class on Video Muse
I love taking photos and over all these years of blogging I feel like I've figured out my style and seen it evolve with my changing taste. Making videos is something that has been on my mind, but I haven't worked on developing my skills. I stumbled upon a class on Skillshare where we'd learn to make a 5 minute video portrait and signed up instantly.
True Coral
Ever since my editor at BBC Good Food introduced me to red lipstick almost two years ago, I'm one convert. I was recently gifted True Coral by Tom Ford (thanks, Mansi!) lately and I've been wearing it everywhere. Love it, love it.
Le Fooding App
Eating out at new places is almost always a well-researched process because it irks me to spend money on subpar food. On returning to Paris, I got the Le Fooding 2013 App that helps me discover new gems around the city. I like it because it's not crowd-sourced and covers a fun mix of unconventional places in all price ranges. I even ended up finding interesting restaurants close to my home that I hadn't heard about!
Francis Lam on Food is the New Rock
I'm always looking for new tunes and podcasts (with the BBC Food Program and Spilled Milk being my favourites) to cook to and I had a good time listening to Francis Lam last night while I chopped onions for a beef ragout.
