Bringing the Southeast Asian balance to the local plate sweet, salty, sour, spicy Raleigh newbie Executive Chef A.J. Faung is zipping zest into gastro goliath Eschelon Hospitalitys newest bite spot, Zinda.
A born chef and magna cum laude grad of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando, the top toque earned his chopsticks under his own original muse: Asian cooking sensation Martin Yan (so, if Yan Can Cook, so can, well, A.J.).
A natural in the kitchen with a humble start, it was some PBS Yan Can Cook/Julia Child-inspired hot dog soup for his dad (it was cold and we were out of chicken he defends) that led the food phenom to find his passion.
But Faung didnt immediately translate that culinary obsession into a profession. While food service did play an early starring role from the budding busboy through the Chicago pizza prep line to the stint with United Airlines food service department the wok-star had yet to awaken.
After receiving a promotion from food to ramp service at United and doling a dozen-ish years to the cause, the chef-to-bes foodie fate found him when a pair of blown shoulders served up a career shift, leading him to hit the cookbooks, literallywith culinary arts studies in the Sunshine State, which led to a gig in San Francisco working with his original muse Martin Yan on his last cookbook, Martin Yans China, (as well as the companion PBS show in Seattle), before settling in Santa Clara as sous chef (and eventually executive chef) for Yans famed Yan Can Asian Bistro, which was awarded a Top 20 Asian restaurant by Asian Restaurant News in the U.S. during his time under the helm there.
Having lived and learned all over these great States Baltimore-born and bred, Chicago raised, and denizen of Florida and Cali and, of course, as the protégé of the likes of Yan, Faung, no doubt, brings culinary flare to the Raleigh foodie scene. But his real passion? Its the people. I care a lot about what Im doing, he muses. I enjoy taking care of people. Its just not the food, its the experience. The real thing is what you get from people when they taste food that they enjoy. When youre around people that really enjoy it, and you feel it too thats what the cooking is.
You're a Raleigh newbie, taking root this past spring. Ya dig it?
I do. I like Raleigh it has enough going on big-city wise, but then again it doesnt have the traffic and a lot of the other problems that big cities do. The food scene is good, and people are doing some really good things here.
What's it like being at the helm in one of the city's newest food hot spots?
I like it a lot. Its a beautiful place, and its fun trying to figure out what Raleigh wants as far as their foods, their tastes, ingredients and then seeing what people are responding to on the menu and changing and going from there. Its been a very interesting experience already and a lot of fun. I first introduced dishes I really enjoy, and theyre selling well, and I get a lot of positive feedback, but I also see the [unfamiliar] names of the menu items deterring people from ordering. If they try it, they enjoy it, but overcoming the name familiarity is something Im working on.
So whats a dish maybe people arent ordering, perhaps out of lack of familiarity with the name, that you think they should def try?
Well, it was the Laksa, which Im crazy about its a wonderful dish. But I think the name was scaring people so I took it off the menu. I hope to reintroduce it as it gets colder here, and people are more into soups. But otherwise, the red cooked pork. I say it all the time I love it. As a chefs dish, its close to being perfect as far as the balance between the protein and the vegetable, and then also the balance inside of the dish as far as the flavor components.
What about Zinda's Asian eats makes it "new Asian"?
For new Asian, what were trying to do with it is basically taking traditional dishes and ingredients and then just presenting them in a more modern way. Its not reinventing anything or combining anything. Its modern presentation with traditional ingredients, techniques and cooking methods.
Right. Eschelon has been very clear to qualify that Zinda is not Asian fusion
Absolutely. Its not at all. Emphatically also. It is an amalgamation of different cultures Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese those flavors but it is not blending any of them.
Speaking authentic Asian, word is, Zinda's got the best Asian teas on market. True story?
Yes. Definitely. Our teas all come from China. Theyre camellia sinensis, the tea plant, not to be confused with assam, which is another tea leaf from India, but this is the Chinese tea. Some of them are hand-rolled, and we have some that are hand-tied. We have a pretty good blend of flavors, representative of white tea, green tea, oolong, red and black. A friend of mine has six teashops over on the West Coast; they go after each harvest and select their tea and bring in 35 tons at a time twice a year in the growing seasons (spring and fall). So they turned me on to the tea, and Im trying to bring it to Raleigh and introduce that part of the dining experience to people here.
First dish?
I was watching the Yan Can Cook, Julia Child, Jacque Pepin block on PBS and that tagline, If Yan Can Cook, So Can You, and so the next one came on, and it was Julia Child, and she was doing soups, making stock, and so forth. I didnt have any stock, but it was cold my dad was working outside in winter in Chicago and I didnt have any chicken for chicken soup, but there was chicken bouillon. So I took that and vegetables and the hot dogs from the fridge and so I made him hot dog soup. He still talks about it to this day (laughs).
From where does your Asian culinary prowess stem? What was the impetus?
My great grandfather was from Canton, China, and he and his brother came over here and started an import/export business in Baltimore and had a couple restaurants. Having that as part of my lineage, Ive always been interested in Chinese cuisine and Asian culture in general, and after moving to San Francisco was introduced to more traditional. Because our family is mixed [Chinese and Eastern European ancestry; and A.J. has dual U.S./Australian citizenship], we didnt have any specific Chinese traditions. My grandmother would make dishes for my grandfather that were Asian inspired but were not authentic. So for my own knowledge, I wanted to find out about the traditional cuisine.
Greatest mentor?
Aside from my parents (and I mean that, because they gave me who I am as a person: work ethic, how to treat other people, how to set goals and be true to them the important things in life), itd be Martin Yan. He gave me a lot of knowledge, and, not only that, he is a mentor. He is an educator and wants people to learn as much as they can about whatever it is theyre trying to learn. Teaching is his main thing even as a television personality, hes still teaching people Chinese food and tries to make it fun, while also conveying the message behind it. I know its a catchphrase If Yan can cook, so can you but its true. You just have to want to and you have to try. He offers so much knowledge and inspiration.
So, cookery aside, you're a TV star and tea connoisseur who drives a chopper and can rock handstands. Any other hidden talents?
I was a gymnast in high school so Ive won a few bets, betting people I could drink beer upside down. And Ive taken peoples money (laughs). But also, cooking. Beyond a profession, its also my hobby. I do that a lot in my free time and try to learn different cuisines, techniques and ingredients, and continue to grow culinarily. Its very important because theres no stop. Theres no way to find out every technique and ingredient throughout the worlds cultures. And things are always evolving.
Food faux pas?
Well that fusion thing. In theory its wonderful, honestly. As long as dishes are done with real thought, it works beautifully, but a lot of people just mash things together for the sake of mashing them and it doesnt always lead to a cohesive dish. Also, cooking without passion not putting love into something and just doing it to get it done. You should give your best every dish. I try to tell my guys and do this myself: Make each dish better than the last one you put out. Always think as if youre getting ready to serve your mother.
If you were limited to one ingredient?
Either fish sauce or soy sauce. Theyre both powerful; they both have umami (coined by the Japanese, meaning the fifth taste). So just that one product, if adding it to proteins in particular, and then you add heat to it by grill or wok when it caramelizes with the protein, theres magic in just that one ingredient.
Current food fixation?
Indian food is a little bit new to me I hadnt had real authentic [Indian food] and hadnt understood some of the techniques to get to the end result but because of the boss [G Patel, founder of Eschelon Hospitality] and some of his family and friends and my co-workers, Im learning a lot about Indian food and have gotten to experience a whole lot more of it. In the last six months or so Ive had more Indian food than I have the rest of my life combined. As a culture, again, its a long tradition of cooking and doing a lot with a little making these really deep, powerfully flavored dishes with few ingredients and a lot of spices. For me, its a really nice learning experience.
If you were to grub on our city streets (besides Zinda) where would we find you?
I dont go out a ton, but I go over to Sono often. Its in our house of restaurants a really good place, and Mike Lee [Sono chef/owner] is a really good friend of mine. Not only that, but we sometimes go there and just talk shop, and its a comfortable place to hang out. The atmosphere is always nice and relaxed. Mike Lee is a fabulous chef, as well, a master with his sushi. So we share ideas with each other, and sit around with John Anderson [Eschelon culinary director] and relax and have a couple drinks. Thats where I go to unwind.
You've bounced all over these great States, if you decide to stay and kick it in Raleigh, what's your vision?
Coming from a city like San Francisco, where it is all about the mom and pop restaurant (by which I mean not corporate, people who go and learn something and bring it back and just want a little something for themselves, maybe 20-30 seats where two to three people can handle it all and just put out good honest food), Id love to see more of that, because theres so many really neat old buildings here in Raleigh that would really suit that kind of restaurant scene. And you have people who are from here, but who have gone other places and learned things they could bring back and execute. I think thatd be really cool.

Excellence in Partnership Awards Dinner
As prepared for delivery:
Remarks by
David L. Bibb
Acting Administrator
U.S. General Services Administration
Excellence in Partnership Awards Dinner
Thank you, Barbara (Shelton), for that kind introduction.
And thanks to all of you for inviting me to be part of this year's Excellence in Partnership Awards Dinner. My congratulations to:
- Larry Allen and Paul Caggiano;
- The Coalition for Government Procurement, and,
- To Federal Computer Week for hosting this important event that is very much tied to GSA's core mission: namely, to help other agencies better serve the public by offering superior workplaces, solutions and other services at best value.
Of course that's what the Schedules Program is all about, leveraging the tremendous buying power of the government to provide superior goods and services to our agency clients at below-market cost. Or, in plain English, ensuring top quality at the best price. As noted in your brochures, tonight's awards will be going to those who have done exemplary work to utilize and promote the Schedules Program, thus benefiting not only their agencies, but the American taxpayer.
Let me also take a moment to acknowledge acting commissioner Barbara Shelton for the outstanding work she's done – and continues to do -- to build and preside over GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.
There's also someone here who needs no introduction to this audience -- my friend and former Administrator Steve Perry, without whom there might very well be no Federal Acquisition Service. Steve, please stand a moment.
The doctrine that Adminstrator Perry used as a foundation for our new organization and most of the initiatives he began at GSA was President Bush's Management Agenda. If you've ever heard Steve speak, you know he viewed the PMA as the lynchpin of all major government reform efforts.
President Bush likes to say: to reform government, we must re-think government. Steve's variation on that theme went like this: to reform GSA, we must rethink GSA. We did, we continue to do so, and I hope you share the optimism we feel about GSA as we head toward the holiday season and the New Year.
What you may not know is that recognizing and rewarding outstanding performance – the precise reason we're all here tonight -- has been part of the President's Management Agenda since the day that document was drafted.
In discussing the strategic management of human capital - one of the core principles of the PMA – President Bush way back in 2002 urged agencies to create "a meaningful system to measure performance," and "awards for employees who surpass expectations."
"With a system of rewards and accountability," he said, "we can promote a culture of achievement throughout the federal government."
I'll repeat….. Promote a culture of achievement ..
I think that is exactly what tonight's winners have done, and why we have gathered to honor their achievements.
They exemplify what President Bush, Steve Perry, Barbara Shelton, David Bibb -- and I suspect all of you – badly want from our federal workforce.
- We all want high performance to become a way of life that defines the culture of the federal service;
- We want public service to attract and keep talented people who will demand and deliver high performance and sustained excellence;
- And we want agencies to meet and exceed established productivity and performance goals.
I know Steve Perry had all those items in mind as he led the merger of FSS and FTS into the Federal Acquisition Service. The key goal for FAS in the post-Perry era will not change one iota. It will be to continue improving our organizational capability to efficiently and effectively deliver excellent acquisition services that provide best value for our federal agency customers and the American taxpayers. And by the way, thank you again for the input you provided during the drafting of our reorganization plans.
We believe the changes at GSA will enhance customer service and acquisition management while inserting enough flexibility into the management process so innovative procurement methods are still available.
Part of this is also about strengthening our ability to act as one agency, with consistent rules and business practices so that our customers are able to better understand our goals and objectives in meeting their needs.
Last, the reorganization positions us to be able to provide our customers with integrated solutions, such as those offered in the commercial marketplace.
The bottom line is a GSA that is more effective and efficient in meeting customer needs and spending taxpayer dollars.
Interestingly, that's pretty much the same goal at the heart of the GSA Schedules Program. Streamlining processes and procedures for buying goods and services is the most efficient and effective way to meet customer needs and stretch taxpayer dollars.
Again, tonight is about honoring those who have used the Schedules Program the same creative and insightful way that others have used the President's Management Agenda. Awards will be going all the way from enthusiastic newcomers to lifetime achievers.
In closing, let me again assure you that whether the subject is federal acquisition, Get it Right, electronic government, or assisting service-disabled veterans, we intend to build on the solid foundation laid by Steve Perry. As we do so, we will be inspired by the accomplishments of those we honor tonight.
Thank you very much for allowing me to participate in this special celebration.

Replace an extension cord plug
The price of heavy-duty extension cords has jumped in recent years because of rising copper prices, so rebuilding old, damaged ones with new plugs or receptacle ends ($5) is a smart move.
Cut off the old plug, then cut back the insulation jacket with a sharp razor knife (Photo 1). Don't push the blade in—just score the rubber jacket gently until you can tear the rubber off, so you don't accidentally cut into one of the wires.
Strip the wires (look for a stripping gauge on the plug or in the instructions), then separate the wires and screw them into place. This step can be fussy, especially with stiff 12-gauge wire, but resist the temptation to cut the insulation jacket back—the more of the jacket you can leave inside the plug, the less likely it is to tear or pull out of the plug clamp when the cord is yanked out of an outlet.
Close the plug and screw it together tightly so the cord is locked in. Our replacement plug had a reversible gasket with a curved side for heavy cords. Other types use screws to hold the cord in place.

Curran or Takata.
I can imagine a correspondence between the universal and the cosmopolitan, and between the local and the rural or small town locale. Sophistication, meaning less willingness to believe what one is told, less willingness to limit oneself, tends to go more with the city, the cosmopolitan, the universal worldview. The need we now sense to preserve the local, the unique, the different, suggests that we are no longer so sure the cosmopolitan is "better" than the local. Back to the tension Habermas describes.
The local has the more limited overview, but it may also have the more differentiated approach, the more unique perceptiion. Postmodernists often argue that it is precisely that unique local, differentiated approach that gives us creativity.
The local has far less experience with encountering the alien, the foreign, thus is far more likely to believe that the world is as she sees it.
The cosmopolitan is more likely to question critically, for her experience is more likely to have given her the opportunity to see that things are not always as we expect. thus, she may be more willling to question, knowing that there can be different answers.

Research shows that nearly 70 percent of chimney smoke reenters nearby buildings.
Her grandmother Dorothy always said she wanted to be the "top brick on the chimney."
There is no chimney at the headquarters of the Chief Rabbinate in north London.
There really was a zip line from the chimney on the house in Palo Alto that enabled the guys to fly into the pool.
Then you tell them to keep quiet a little while till I go back up the chimney.
The sparks from the chimney must have blown straight up to the thatch; that's how it was.
So we trudged on looking anxiously for church spires and chimney tops.
The chimney was smoking away merrily, and his mouth positively watered as he turned towards the signboard.
On the other side of the chimney a young man with fair hair watched her silently.
The construction was partly of stone and partly of logs, with a roof of bark and a chimney of mud and sticks.
late 13c., "furnace;" early 14c., "chimney stack of a fireplace;" late 14c., "fireplace in a residential space;" from Old French cheminee "fireplace; room with a fireplace; hearth; chimney stack" (12c., Modern French cheminée), from Late Latin (camera) caminata "fireplace; room with a fireplace," from Latin caminatus, adjective of caminus "furnace, forge; hearth, oven; flue," from Greek kaminos "furnace, oven, brick kiln." Jamieson [1808] notes that in vulgar use in Scotland it always is pronounced "chimley." Chimney sweep attested from 1610s, earlier chimney sweeper (c.1500).

You are here: Home » Robert Farley » Droning On…
Last night I was on Alyona, talking drones and Iran:
Which part did you play, Mr. Farley?
Iran, or the talking drone?
This is why Jesus invented the serial comma.
i understand they're quite tasty, with milk, and some sugar sprinkled on top. they also provide a full day's calcium requirement, and quite a bit of fiber.
ok, i now understand why people watching the show had a difficult time focussing on you. consider an uglier partner next time.
Ya might want to rephrase that "on Alyona," if you have a significant other who lurks the blog.
You two had a point: it wasn't until yesterday that I saw even the slightest glimmer of coverge on the USMSM of the war in Iran and only last week that I even started reading rumours of it on the web.
it wasn't until yesterday that I saw even the slightest glimmer of coverge on the USMSM of the war in Iran
…of the what?
My point exactly.
Uh, there's no war in Iran (currently).
Let me get this straight: the shooting between al Qaeda and the US military isn't a war, but aerial reconnaissance over Iran is a war.
Have I got that right?
No, aerial reconassance might be a violation of Iran's soveriegnty, but it would not, itself, be a war.
But Alyona also references a myterious explosion, the disappearance of a nuclear scientist, and a computer virus attack. If we are indeed behind all these things, that's a war, or at least, close enough for government work.
Best straight line ever.
Next time, put a light on your desk or something. Using just the overheads makes you look like the Emperor's cousin.
Seriously. Raccoon eyes are no way to go through life.
Remember to sit on your coattail to prevent the jacket from rising up in back. I learned that watching "Broadcast News".
But don't worry, you've got Albert Brooks beat by miles.
The Russians don't let you wear a hat?
What's with the reluctance to state that as part of the covert campaign Iranian scientists are being assassinated? Alyona mentioned scientists "disappearing" – a bizarre way of phrasing it in this context. Does RT think that its US audience is too delicate for this to be mentioned?
I would, however, take issue with the notion that the US can continue with its covert campaign for 5 or 6 years – sooner or later, and I would guess sooner, there's going to be a real fuck-up involving non-deniable live bodies.

Corporate raider Greg Woolley is leading a consortium of investors who plan to approach Qantas Airways and the federal government with a plan to buy the airline's planes in a deal that could be worth more than $5 billion.
Mr Woolley, a former Macquarie banker who was part of a failed bid for the airline in 2006, has $1 billion committed from Australian and foreign investors and several billion dollars available in debt.
He plans to approach the beleaguered national icon and the government and offer to buy a large portion of the Qantas fleet, which would be leased back to the company. The federal government would guarantee the lease payments to his consortium.
Qantas lost its prized investment grade credit rating on Friday, adding to the crisis surrounding the company, but Prime Minister Tony Abbott said there would be no bailout.
Standard & Poor's lowered Qantas's rating to BB-plus, a level considered junk status that will likely force the company to adjust its financial strategy, raise the cost of its debt and aircraft leasing charges and undermine its reputation in global investment circles.
Mr Abbott, also pushing back against huge pressure from General Motors to bail out its Holden manufacturing operations in South Australia and Victoria, said Qantas needed to look after itself, a sign any substantial government assistance is unlikely.
"Qantas has to get its house in order," he said in a radio interview. "It is a private company and it is incumbent on all private companies to run themselves effectively and profitably."
Shares in Qantas, which said on Thursday it would cut 1000 jobs and lose $300 million this half, were dramatically suspended from trading on Friday morning in advance of the Standard & Poor's downgrade, which ended Qantas's tenure as one of four listed airlines in the world with an investment-grade rating.
Who blinks first
Qantas shares fell 4¢ to $1.03 after the trading halt was lifted. Chief executive Alan Joyce has stuck to the airline's target of maintaining 65 per cent market share in a fight against Virgin Australia Holdings, which is adding aircraft to routes and driving down prices.
Fund manager Marcus Fanning, the head of equities at Colonial First State, said the capacity war would come down to "who blinks first".
"With Virgin getting around the spirit of the foreign ownership rules, they have lasted a lot longer than Qantas expected," he said.
Qantas chief financial officer Gareth Evans said the downgrade was "not unexpected" following the airline's profit warning.
"It highlights the unprecedented pressures that the Qantas Group is facing from several external forces but particularly from an uneven playing field in the Australian aviation market," he said.
Many of the ramifications for Qantas, including higher borrowing costs and aircraft leasing rates are unlikely to be immediate, but the airline could pay more for loans.
Potential bottomless pit
Mr Joyce had been lobbying the government to guarantee its debt, a step that could theoretically give it the same AAA rating as the federal government.
S&P said there could be a case for revising the rating upward if it received assistance from the government.
Mr Abbott described the idea of a debt guarantee, in an interview on 3AW, as a potential "bottomless pit". He declined to comment on the performance of Qantas's managers or Mr Joyce.
"If they came to us and said this would be a deregulatory way forward, a no cost to taxpayers way forward, we'd be happy to look at it but they haven't come to us with that proposal," he said.
Mr Woolley's consortium believes its deal would be more palatable for the government than guaranteeing Qantas's existing debt obligations. The government would guarantee the airline's infrastructure and asset obligations, rather than its entire operations.
Mr Woolley sold Global Aviation Asset Management to New York-listed FLY Leasing in 2011 for $1.7 billion.
If Qantas was to go out of business, Mr Woolley would re-lease the planes to other airlines around the world. The deal would improve Qantas's balance sheet and potentially boost in its credit rating.
Melbourne's Liberman family plans to invest in the consortium, as well as British billionaire Joe Lewis, African's second-richest person Johann Rupert, South African entrepreneur Rob Hersov and London property magnate Vincent Tchenguiz.
Australian funding
Several European banks have expressed interest in providing debt for the venture, although Mr Woolley wants as much funding as possible to come from Australian sources.
The deal would mark the third tilt at Qantas by Mr Woolley, who helped found Allco Equity Partners in 2004 with the late David Coe. AEP was later part of the Airline Partners Australia consortium that failed in a $11 billion bid for Qantas in 2006.
Mr Woolley and investors such as Mark Carnegie, John Singleton, Peter Gregg and Geoff Dixon bought shares in Qantas in 2012 and agitated for support for a major change in strategy at the airline. They later sold their shares for a considerable profit.
Qantas has told investors it will cut capital spending and sell assets, which could include airport terminal leases or part of its frequent-flyer program or Jetstar, to shore up its balance sheet.
Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines and Etihad Airways own 63 per cent of Virgin, which could rise further following a $350 million equity raising.
S&P said Virgin had become a "more formidable competitor" to Qantas as a result of its purchase of low-cost carrier Tigerair Australia and its well-capitalised airline shareholders.
Another fund manager said Qantas should focus its lobbying efforts on stricter controls of the capacity available to foreign carriers in the Australian market. Qantas's international business is unprofitable and is not expected to break even until possibly 2014-15.
"When the government owned the airline they massively restricted route access from other airlines into Australia," the investor said. "I think Qantas have attacked it the wrong way."
After Qantas's credit rating was downgraded, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten declined to say if Labor would back subsidising the airline.
"What people expect is for the government to say what sort of future they see for the aviation market. It should be competitive of course," he said.
"But there are a lot of highly skilled jobs at Qantas and I believe that we should be capable enough to work in a bipartisan fashion to secure jobs in Australia."
Market update in February
Qantas credit default swap spreads widened sharply following the downgrade. The cost of insuring against the default of five-year Qantas debt has spiked by almost 40 per cent in the past week from 190 basis points to 265 basis points, and traded at 215 basis points on Thursday.
Qantas is expected to work to regain its credit rating over time, but it is unclear whether it will keep the $2 billion of cash required on its balance sheet throughout. It had $2.8 billion on June 30. The airline, which is expected to report negative free cash flow this year, will update the market on its asset sales at its half-year results in February.
UBS analyst Simon Mitchell said the frequent flyer program had an enterprise value of around $2.5 billion, and he believed Qantas would keep a majority stake in any sale. The airline is in talks with capital city airports about the sale of its terminal leases in deals that could raise $1 billion. Southwest Airlines, Air New Zealand and Lufthansa Group are the only airlines left with investment grade credit ratings.

these would actually be pretty dope if it weren't for the canvas/textile uppers. but i'm really diggin the contrast of the outsole.
vans took them down from their site so i'm wondering if they're gonna bring them back in some new material/colorways.

My good friend built a tube guitar amplifier from a kit from Allen Amplification and asked if we could build a nice wooden cabinet to fit the amplifier and two speakers.
I had cut some planks from a locally harvested walnut log about ten years ago. The planks sat unused, waiting for the right project.
The cabinet was built using half-blind dovetails. The inlays are holly and ebony. The plywood baffle board was covered with caning. Handle is leather.
Nerve damage from surgery has kept me out of the shop for about 6 months; body and mind now healing nicely.
Great way to spend time with a friend.
The amplifier's sound is awesome!

Machine Learning is a Coursera class that aims to provide students with basic understanding of the field.
What's interesting about it is that it's the course - one of the three courses that started the whole MOOC movement.
You'll have the opportunity to learn and play around with a wide array of different ML techniques that are used in real life world even now.
On the course page programming is listed as a pre-requisite, but I'd say that's a bit off.
Sure there are programming assignments, but you can get away with very basic knowledge like var assignments, loops and if statements.
Now, what's not stated on the website are math & statistics requirements, which actually threw me off quite a bit, because
at the time of taking this course I had maybe pre-calculus level of understanding math and a lot of concepts just whooshed past me.
I'm now in the middle of Calculus One course and constantly get the "Oh, that's why X is like that" moments.
So I would say that in order to get the most out of this course, you need at least some calculus + basic statistics knowledge.
I've taken the October 2013 version, which might differ slightly from future offerings, but I doubt there will be any drastic changes.
Well, Machine Learning is a field that I was passionate about even before learning how to program.
Something about the idea of creating an artificial mind that can, with minimal supervision, learn about the world on it's own and potentially
even surpass it's creators in intelligence some day, gives me the chills of excitement.
I wonder if that's how Skynet will be born?...
Passing specifically this course was also a personal goal of mine: I've actually taken it back when it all began, but couldn't keep up with the
material and dropped out. So this class was a sort of a benchmark for me. To know that my general knowledge and ability to manage time
improved enough that I can do it now.
What I expected to gain from this class was first and foremost demystification of common terms of the field like NN, KNN, SVM and so on.
Ideally, I would like to gain enough knowledge to be able to apply it in my pet projects or maybe even everyday work.
This course has a very weird pace to it.
It starts off rather slow, having no programming assignment for first week and reasonably hard one for second week.
Then it gets really steep really fast, so by the end of week 4 I was ready to give up once again. But then suddenly after that
the difficulty drops significantly and never really goes back up.
So let me re-iterate this for any future students: you just have to push hard through first 3-4 weeks and then you're golden.
Homework was based on Octave programming language, which I guess is to Matlab what R is to S-Plus - a powerful OS alternative.
But as I mentioned in the intro, it's not really so much programming as understanding math & then translating it into code.
And actually this was kind of my biggest "Aha!" moment of the course - I realized that ML is not about computers, programming or even AI,
it's actually a framework for extracting a matrix of data by issuing a bunch of matrix to matrix operations.
I'm obviously greatly over-simplifying the complexity of the field, but this realisation really helped me in understanding how think about it.
My favorite moment was at assignment #3, where the task was to implement an NN that recognized hand-written digits.
Even though my hand was held the entire time, seeing a program that I personally coded correctly identify numbers was probably one of the coolest moments in my programming journey.
What I liked
The content: it was easy enough to follow without background, even though it came at a cost of missing out on in-depth understanding.
Oh and Andrew Ng always showed real life applications for every topic he covered. For me this eventually turned into a game:
to guess what techniques a major tech company might be applying here and there.
What I disliked
I think difficulty curve could use some tweaking. First few weeks were too hard, but later were too easy even.
But a bigger problem I see is that content age starts to show.
Course was recorded in 2009-ish and so newer trends in ML like deep learning aren't even mentioned.
Effort required
Here's the breakdown of effort I had to put into this course.*
Lectures*: 19 hours
Review: 5 hours
Homework: 20 hours
Total: 44 hours
Homework average was ~ 2.5 hours.
The longest was assignment #1, which took 4 hours, almost 20% of overall time! While the last few homeworks only took around 1.5 hours.
*Listed are actual hours I've put into working through the course, so 1 hour literally means 60 minutes of work, not 20 min homework, 20 min twitter, 20 min homework
*To save time, I've usually watched videos at 1.2-1.5 speed. This may or may not work for you, for me it was a necessity and thankfully it did.
Final verdict
Overall I think this course is a solid option for anybody looking to broaden their CS knowledge.
I think it was completely worth my time and the goals I set up were achieved.
I wish the content was updated with latest trends in the industry, but it's not a show stopper by any means.
Final Score*: 7/10
*based on arbitrary set of rules that are decided upon by running 1,000,000 Monte-Carlo simulations of rolling an uneven dice.

Quick GuideCosmetic Dentistry Before and After Photos
What's a Temporary Filling and Why Would I Need One?
Temporary fillings are used under the following circumstances:
- For fillings that require more than one appointment - for example, before placement of gold fillings and for certain filling procedures (called indirect fillings) that use composite materials
- Following a root canal
- To allow a tooth's nerve to "settle down" if the pulp became irritated
- If emergency dental treatment is needed (such as to address a toothache)
Temporary fillings are just that; they are not meant to last. They usually fall out, fracture, or wear out within 1 month. Be sure to contact your dentist to have your temporary filling replaced with a permanent one. If you don't, your tooth could become infected or you could have other complications.
Are Amalgam-Type Fillings Safe?
Over the past several years, concerns have been raised about silver-colored fillings, otherwise called amalgams. Because amalgams contain the toxic substance mercury, some people think that amalgams are responsible for causing a number of diseases, including autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
The American Dental Association (ADA), the FDA, and numerous public health agencies say amalgams are safe, and that any link between mercury-based fillings and disease is unfounded. The causes of autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis remain unknown. Additionally, there is no solid, scientific evidence to back up the claim that if a person has amalgam fillings removed, he or she will be cured of these or any other diseases.
As recently as March of 2002, the FDA reconfirmed the safety of amalgams. Although amalgams do contain mercury, when they are mixed with other metals, such as silver, copper, tin, and zinc, they form a stable alloy that dentists have used for more than 100 years to fill and preserve hundreds of millions of decayed teeth. The National Institutes of Health has several large-scale studies currently under way to ultimately answer many of the questions raised about silver-colored amalgams. Results of these studies are expected to be released in 2006.
In addition, there has been concern over the release of a small amount of mercury vapor from these fillings, but according to the ADA, there is no scientific evidence that this small amount results in adverse health effects.

Fun spin-off game for the series
by Kenneth on 9/9/2013
This game offers up some really unique gameplay. It plays more like action game than a typical Pokemon title though. I love that they've included every current Pokemon into this game and it's still really fun to collect them all. It would have been nice if there was some sort of online mode to extend the replay value but overall it's been a lot of fun.

A Masterpiece from the Detroit News
by IwoCPO on 10/02/07 at 05:27 AM ET
Comments (0)
There's a headline I'll bet you'd never expected to see here, eh? It's well-earned. John Niyo, Ted Kulfan and Bob Wojnowski recently sat down with Mike Ilitch, Jimmy Devellano, Jim Nill, Scotty Bowman and Ken Holland. Name a hot topic the last twenty five years and they touch on it: the defections from the Eastern Bloc, the brilliant drafts of '83 and '89, the near-trade of Steve Yzerman and the current mindset of us against the NHL.
Devellano: Kenny Holland and I have been in the company of at least two general managers—and I won't tell you who they are—(who said), 'We can hardly wait until we have a salary cap so we're on a level playing field with you.' (They were) intimating that once the salary cap is in place, they're going to come and pass us. Well, one team missed the playoffs last year, now that they're on an even playing field, and the other just about caught us but didn't quite do it.
Spend the next three seconds of your life trying to guess who Devellano's referring to, then read the rest of the story here and the full transcript here.

A typical AIP quickie put together in an instant bid to cash in on the 'Summer of Love', its action eventually amounting to a slam-bang compendium of every hippy cliché from the bad trip to the redneck rumble. The plot, which has a deaf girl (Strasberg) scouring San Francisco's Haight Ashbury for her missing brother (a crazed Dern), is hard to take. But if you can accept the clichés and archaisms, as well as some third-rate acid rock from The Seeds and Strawberry Alarm Clock, there are compensations: some beautifully baroque performances (Dern and Stockwell in particular), Laszlo Kovacs' effective visualisation of Strasberg's bad STP trip, the spectacle (as irresistible as it is preposterous) of Jack Nicholson sporting lead guitar at the Filmore.

New York Water Science Center
Problem - Previous hydrologic studies have indicated that there may be sufficient water resources underlying Queens, Kings, Richmond, New York, and Bronx Counties for use as a supplemental water supply in times of drought or other emergency. An extensive ground-water and surface-water monitoring program is necessary to provide a comprehensive hydrologic data set for use in ongoing and future ground-water investigations.The objective of this project is to provide a continuous hydrologic data set needed for resource assessment, planning, and protection. To meet this objective the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, maintains and operates a network of approximately 225 monitoring wells, 8 streamflow stations, and 10 lakes or ponds within the five boroughs of New York City. Ground- and surface-water levels are monitored at varying frequencies to accurately assess seasonal fluctuations and long-term trends in ground-water and surface-water storage. Water-quality data is collected to monitor nutrient and contaminant loading within the region to determine the condition of the water in the aquifer system and whether it can be used as a source of supplemental supply. All samples are analyzed by the USGS for a broad range of constituents, which include selected nutrients, major ions, trace metals, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, and pesticides.
All data collected for the project are published in annual data reports and are available on the internet at http://ny.usgs.gov. The data, collected using standardized instruments procedures, contribute to a nationally consistent data set for assessment of the water quality of the Nation.

The Pap and HPV tests are the only screening tests available. These tests are helpful in the early detection of cervical cancers.
Pap Test
The Pap test can find precancerous changes on the cervix that can be treated to prevent cervical cancer. A Pap test also can find cervical cancer early, when treatment is most effective. Current recommendations indicate that women should start getting regular Pap tests at age 21.
The Pap test does not screen for ovarian, uterine, vaginal or vulvar cancers. Even if you have a Pap test regularly, see your doctor if you notice any signs or symptoms that are not normal for you.
HPV Test
The HPV test looks for HPV infection. This test may be used with the Pap test to screen for cervical cancer in women aged 30 years and older. It also is used to provide more information when a Pap test has unclear results. If you have HPV, follow your doctor's advice for further testing.
Since there is no simple and reliable way to screen for any gynecologic cancers except cervical cancer, it is especially important to recognize warning signs and learn if there are things you can do to reduce your risk. Talk with your doctor if you believe that you are at increased risk for gynecologic cancer. Ask what you might do to lower your risk and whether there are tests that you should have.

Apart from some fine tuning, the prudential regulator says the final reporting requirements under new capital rules for general and life insurers is complete.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority updated its reporting requirements for general and life insurers on October 29. The release is a companion to the announcement on October 10 of the regulator's new rules on capital standards.
Twelve submissions were received on the reporting changes.
Mostly minor and highly technical, the amendments relate to both the categories of data general and life insurers need to report and the frequency with which they need to submit this data to APRA.
How insurers collect information on geographical location will be one of the areas affected.
New reporting forms and instructions have been released and will be effective for reporting periods ending on or after January 1.
APRA collects enormous amounts of data on the institutions it monitors. Some of that data is released publicly, and some is passed on to the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to inform other publicly released figures such as the monthly banking statistics.
Regulated bodies are provided with software that uses XBRL technology to allow the data to be digitally uploaded direct to APRA.
The release of these reporting requirements are the penultimate announcement in the major review of capital standards for the general and life insurance sector that is designed to improve risk-sensitivity and the alignment of the capital standards across industries, which has been in progress since 2010.
A decision on planned changes to the submission period for quarterly returns has been delayed to allow for further consultation with industry early in the new year.

A police officer reportedly removed a sheet covering Houston's body and made an 'inappropriate comment,' saying, 'She looks good for her age and current state.'
A Beverly Hills police officer has been accused of ruining the scene of Whitney Houston's death and making an "inappropriate comment" about the late singer's body. The claim was launched by a former Beverly Hills SWAT sergeant, Brian Weir.
Weir said that Det. Sgt. Terry Nutall went to the singer's death scene "for no legitimate law enforcement inquiry, investigative, or other proper and legal purpose... and removed the sheet and/or other covering from the body ... to an area below the pubic region," as quoted by Los Angeles Times. Nutall allegedly said that Houston "looked attractive for a woman of her age and current state." Nutall allegedly added, "Damn, she's still looking good, huh?"
Weir listed details of the allegation in the claim, saying that Nutall's alleged misconduct included "disturbing and/or moving the body of the decedent from the position of death without the permission of the coroner," "treating the dead body of the decedent in a way that would outrage ordinary family sensibilities," "contaminating potential DNA," and "harming the integrity of the scene." Weir, who was the senior patrol sergeant on duty, reported the alleged incident to his superiors and he was removed from his position with the SWAT and K-9 units as the results.
Lt. Lincoln Hoshino of Beverly Hills Police said on Tuesday, September 17 that the police were aware of the report. However, he would not comment on the topic because the claim has been filed with several agencies.
Houston was found unconscious at a Beverly Hills hotel's bathroom on 11 February 2012. Authorities said that her cause of death was accidental drowning. Heart condition and cocaine contributed to her death. She was 48.

On this date in 1813, Louise Victorine Ackermann (nee Choquet) was born in France. Her father educated her in the philosophy of the Encyclopedists. While studying German in Berlin, she met Paul Ackermann, a German pastor who had lost his faith, and married him in 1843. They had two happy years before his death. She moved to Nice and wrote highly regarded stories and poems, Contes (1855) and Contes et Poesies (1863). Her home in Paris later became a hub for major writers. "She was the most decidedly Agnostic of them all," wrote freethought historian Joseph McCabe. Mme. Ackermann is best-known for Poesies (1874), which contains powerful, somber verses against human suffering. She also wrote Pensees d'un solitaire (1883), which included a short autobiography. Her tombstone was inscribed with her agnostic verse. D. 1890.
Louise Victorine Ackermann
"[Religions] impose antiquated and narrow beliefs which are entirely unsuitable for a being who knows nothing and can affirm nothing."

Celebrities are often associated with wealth in the public eye, but just because a famous figure was once thriving financially, doesn't mean that's the case anymore. When lifestyles of big spending are no longer sustainable with their current income, celebrities become vulnerable to falling into debt or behind bars.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Dennis Rodman could be headed to jail for as many as 20 days for not paying spousal and child support to his ex-wife, Michelle Rodman, according to her attorney, Jack Kayajanian.
Dennis, who fathered two children with Michelle, owed more than $800,000 in back child support and an excess of $50,000 in back spousal support on March 1, Kayajanian said in court documents.
Rodman's finance manager Peggy Williams explained to the news source that the former NBA star is a good person, but has a problem with alcoholism.
"His sickness impacts his ability to get work. This case, especially his wife filing for divorce, has put him on a binge that I have never seen before," Williams said. "He is extremely hurt and extremely sick. He is often unable to obtain work because of this sickness. And his sickness is getting increasingly worse."
Rodman's attorney, Linnea Willis said in court documents that her client has paid Michelle $13,500 this year already, despite only making $8,000 in that time.
Californians that are potentially facing jail time because they can no longer afford to pay court-mandated child or spousal support should be sure to have a qualified lawyer to represent them. Using an attorney referral service, California residents can find a lawyer that's experienced with similar cases.
Attorney Search Network is a California state Bar certified legal referral service that helps clients find an attorney for nearly any type of case, whether they require a family lawyer, bankruptcy attorney, estate planning attorney or criminal lawyer.

Feb 08, 2009 - After getting a few bad haircuts, I found Amy and I'm staying! Amy understands my hair, the way it pulls up when it dries, the way layers sit, how to make it fuller without it being one round poof or looking like the triangle-head from Dilbert. I don't describe very well what I want, but she always knows what I mean and always does it well. Besides getting my best haircuts from Amy, she is a very nice and creative person, so she's fun to be around. Once you try, you'll see what I mean!

World Religions Shared in Exhibit at Pollak
"Belief Systems & Religions in Cultural Context," a display in Pollak Library continuing through May 31, examines the world's religious beliefs from monotheistic, polytheistic, atheistic and agnostic perspectives.
The exhibit aims to illuminate some of the lesser-known religions or religious practices and belief systems of the world, alongside Christianity, Judaism and Islam, the three largest monotheistic religions, said Trish Campbell, exhibit program coordinator and curator. More details can be found on the "Belief Systems & Religions in Cultural Context" exhibit page .
The library is also featuring exhibits on Torah scrolls and Muslim women. The latter seeks to dispel misconceptions about Muslim women and Islam through textiles, prayer beads and personal items on loan and books from the library's collections, including copies of the Qur'an. All books are available for check out. For more details, visit the "Unveiling Mystery: The Women of Islam" exhibition page.

Destrehan, Hahnville both advance after impressive victories
Destrehan will host Ruston, Tigers will host Barbe
Destrehan 44 Terrebonne 0
For the second time this season, the Destrehan Wildcats dropped more than 40 points on Terrebonne in their playoff win on Friday.
The Wildcats took a 7-0 lead on a 13-yard run by Will Matthews and stretched the score to 14-0 in the first quarter. Quarterback Donovan Isom found John Williams on a 60-yard pass to set up the second score and Isom took it in two plays later with a 2-yard plunge up the middle.
Terrebonne drove deep into Destrehan territory early in the second quarter, but defensive lineman Matt Gunter recovered a fumble at the Destrehan 21 to stop the threat. Isom drove his team down the field after that, ending the drive with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Matthews.
With a little more than a minute left before the half, Talvin Michael blocked a Terrebonne punt that bounced out of the end zone to put the Wildcats up 23-0. But Destrehan wasn't done yet.
With just 28 seconds left in the second quarter, Isom connected with Kirk Merritt to give Destrehan a 30-0 halftime lead.
On their first series of the third, the Wildcats increased the score to 37-0 with a methodical drive. Isom threw a short pass to receiver Alfred Smith who turned it into a 38-yard gain. Matthews then gained 16 on the ground to the 8-yard line, and caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Isom to score.
Destrehan's final score came on a 13-yard touchdown catch by Smith.
The Wildcats will host No. 12 Ruston on Nov. 22. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Hahnville 42 Ouachita Parish 25
Hahnville's big win over South Lafourche to end the regular season seemed to energize the Tigers as they jumped on Ouachita early and held on down the stretch for a 42-25 win.
Quarterback Dylan Keller, who was injured for most of the season, provided the spark for his team in the first quarter. Keller gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 16-yard run that proved that Hahnville would have success on the ground against Ouachita.
Though Ouachita tied the score after a touchdown by Cameron Sims, Keller struck again, this time rushing for a 40-yard score to give the Tigers a 14-7 lead.
But Keller wasn't the only one who dominated on the ground for the Tigers. Running back Lynn Simmons increased the Hahnville lead to 21-7 on a 6-yard score.
Simmons scored again a few minutes later on a 5-yard run to put the Tigers up 28-13 at the break.
Simmons put Ouachita away in the second half. In the third, he bulldozed his way through defenders for a 14-yard score. In the fourth, he iced the game with a dazzling 42-yard run.

Hahnville will face off against No. 8 Barbe at home on Nov. 22. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Daniel Radcliffe shows off his wang
Remember those promo shots for Equus and that shot of Daniel Radcliffe's bare ass? If you thought to yourself, "Hey, I really wish I was on the other side of that photo" then you're in luck. I'd never thought I'd ever be saying this, but here's a super NSFW full frontal shot of Harry Potter's penis. And if you're wondering what's up with all the horse erotica lately, it's because I've slowly been turning this site into a home for animal sex perverts. What, you couldn't tell? Then you must be one of them.
Thanks to everybody that sent this in. And when I say 'thanks' I mean it in the loosest least thankful way possible.

Canberra United's Sally Shipard was named female Footballer of the Year at the Australian Football Awards at a gala dinner in Sydney on Wednesday night.
This year Shipard also won the Julie Dolan Medal for player of the year following United's undefeated 2011-12 W-League season, then helped Bayer Leverkusen avoid relegation in the German Bundesliga.
But United faces the possibility of taking on the stars of Japanese club Kobe Leonessa without its midfield maestro in the first game of the International Women's Club Championship on Thursday. Shipard admitted she was feeling apprehensive about her physical preparation when the team departed for Japan.
''I'm not giving my own situation too much thought because I think if I did, I'd be quite concerned,'' Shipard said.
''I'm kind of seeing [the Japan trip] as a really positive thing for the team as opposed to whether or not I'm ready to be over there, because it's definitely not the case with where I'm at.
''I'm just going to be there for the girls and try and get as much out of the experience as possible no matter how I'm feeling physically - we'll certainly gain a lot from the experience, both footballing and just the experience in general.''
Shipard, who has 62 Matildas caps, including the 2004 Olympic Games, 2007 World Cup and the winning 2010 Asian Cup team, has only played 20 minutes of soccer in the past six months after knee surgery.
She made her return as a substitute in Canberra United's 3-1 win over Adelaide three weeks ago, but did not recover in time for the following game. She was not permitted to play in their loss to Melbourne last weekend due to an earlier agreement with Matildas coach Tom Sermanni to not pick her for the national team.
Fellow Matildas player Stephanie Catley, of Melbourne Victory, won the under-20 female Footballer of the Year.
Brett Holman, of Aston Villa, won male Footballer of the Year, with Central Coast's goalkeeper, Mathew Ryan, winning his second consecutive under-20 Footballer of the Year gong.
