How Not to Be a Victim
- Tuesday, November 16, 2004
Let's do a home or apartment security audit. If you're in a home, go to the front of your home and stand on the sidewalk. What do you see as you review your home with the eye of a security expert or – and I hope this is a stretch for you – the eye of the home break-in specialist? As I have done with my clients in person, I will stand now with you as my client.
- Is there any sign of a security system or awareness? Are there alarm company signs, cameras, lighting that is motion-sensitive from dusk to dawn? Is there good visibility of the doors and windows to your home? If you have any deficiencies in these areas, they can be easily fixed, usually with little cost. If you have a gardener or do it yourself, trim your shrubs to provide a good view of your windows and doors. If you can't install an alarm system, buy a sign that says you have one. Many break-ins happen at the back of the house, and this is a good place to install a keypad that is visible from your back door or window. These keypads are battery-operated and have a red LED light that gives the appearance of an armed security system.
- Do you allow mail, newspapers, or other unattended items to stack up? They tell the would-be intruder that you are either gone or inattentive. If you travel, have someone maintain the normal duties such as mail, newspapers, and trash bins.
- Now walk to your front door. What type of front door do you have, solid wood or one with windows? If you have a door with glass in it, install a dead bolt with an inside key (but be sure you keep the key close by in the case of an emergency). If you have a solid wood door, then use a dead bolt with a turn on the inside. The best type of security is solid wood with a peephole, to see who is at the front door before you ever open it. The big mistake people make is to open the door before they know who is there. This is very important if you have children; train them early not to run and open the door. When my daughter was four and five, she always wanted to dash for the door when the doorbell rang. I taught her that was forbidden. Today, my daughter is thirteen and has traded running to the door for running to acting auditions! Together we have developed a child safety program called Boagie Bear Detective Child Safety, an organization that trains children through characters, books and songs. It soon will be introduced into the school systems.
- Now we are ready for windows. Studies have shown that a large percentage of the time, a criminal who breaks into homes finds an unlocked door or window, or a broken window lock. These are things we, as home residents, don't see a lot; out of sight is out of mind. If you have a lock that isn't working, replace it. It's so much cheaper than the consequences of failed security.
- One of the reasons our homes are broken into while we are away is because they appear unoccupied. I've had remote homes that I didn't get to a lot and at all of them I have nighttime lighting inside my home that comes on for a few hours each night. One of the things I've discovered in my many years of protecting people and property is that lighting and good visibility are big deterrents to crime. Remember, most criminals don't' want to be caught, and if your home or business looks secure, they'll go elsewhere.
- Now walk with me through the rest of your house and check all the windows and outside doors. Pay special attention to your bathroom windows. This is another place that is a prime entry point for the criminal; they're often left open or they have defective locks. (Also, while you are making this inspection, check your smoke detectors to ensure that the batteries are working.)
- We're now at the back of your home. Check all doors and windows using the same procedure as for the front door. Look around. Do you see areas where someone could hide and have time to break into your home undetected? If you can, change it. One of the most important protections for the back of your home is lighting. All-night, low-wattage lighting costs only a few cents each day.
If you have performed this basic audit of your home, apartment, or business, you have started to change from living as a potential victim to living in a safer environment. Congratulations. Your family will thank you, if not now, at some time in the future. Also, when you travel and they're home, you can now have a higher level of peace of mind about their safety. Most of us will never be the individual targets of terrorists or criminals, but my motto is, "Plan for the worst and expect the best." I have found in my work protecting people's lives and property than when one is really prepared, the bad things tend not to happen. The assault comes when one is unprepared.

It's About Following Jesus
In the late 60's a group of students at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville were inspired with a vision for a new kind of church. This band of friends believed that God had given them a vision for doing something spectacular in the name of Christ. In 1977, the group, with fewer than 30 worshippers began meeting in a home in Little Rock, and on August 21 of the same year, Fellowship Bible Church held its first official service at Little Rock's Anthony School. In the 1980's, services moved to the Pulaski Academy gymnasium and again to a local movie theatre. Then in 1985, Fellowship built its own worship center and by the mid-90's five free standing buildings formed the church.
In 2004 Fellowship launched its Benton campus and expanded again in 2007 with the addition of new campuses in Little Rock and Cabot.
But in the end, the campus and its building are just tools for discipleship. We are much more excited about expanding the true temple of God which are His people, than we are buildings of brick and mortar. Our passion is to take the good news of Jesus Christ to the city and world, and that can never take place behind the walls of a building.

Central African Republic: Security Council backs peacekeeping force
The UN Security Council has voted to send a peacekeeping force to the Central African Republic. The country has faced escalating violence since a short-lived takeover by Seleka rebels last year triggered a violent crisis. Thursday's vote authorised a force of around 12,000, which will be called MINUSCA. It will be deployed on September 15th to take over from the African Union's mission.

When Life Feels Terribly Ordinary
By Cara Joyner
May 27, 2014
Cara Joyner is a freelance writer and stay-at-home-mom living on the East Coast with her husband and two sons. After years of working in student ministry, she has come home to raise her boys and to pursue new ministry opportunities. She loves hanging out with college students, watching Parenthood and eating chocolate like it's one of the food groups. Read more at carajoyner.com or find her onTwitter @cara_joyner.
When we were kids, everything was new and the world beyond childhood brimmed with adventure. Then as we grew, we learned that there are some extraordinary moments spread across time, but that in between those peak experiences, there's a lot of ordinary, everyday grind.
There are trashcans to empty, laundry to sort (and if we're feeling especially motivated, maybe even put away). Cars must be registered. Forms filled out. Carrier plans chosen. We move through our routine day in and day out, packed with little moments that may often feel unbearably ordinary.
Looking around in all the mess we can convince ourselves that other people are living in the "more" we dream of while we drag our feet through the dull and less interesting.
In their song, "Come Away," Jesus Culture sings about the invitation of God, "Come away with me. It's going to be wild. It's going to be great."
Really? It's going to be wild? A lot of people have jumped on board and aren't feeling the rush. I believe it's true and that Jesus offers the abundant life He came for us to have, but sometimes it's hard to see.
It's Going to Be Wild
It's hard to find the life while fighting to finish school and pay the bills with night jobs; and there isn't a lot of adventure for the parent changing 10 diapers before lunch. That wild story we were promised might seem distant for the person who spends each morning in traffic only to return to the gridlock at 5 p.m.
This tension between the passionate narrative we talk about and the very normal world we exist in isn't something to be ignored. It's a tension that should tell us something, serving as a flag to wave us down and readjust our perspective.
This tension between the passionate narrative we talk about and the very normal world we exist in isn't something to be ignored.
Eyes to See
Jesus once had a conversation with the 12 about the people who didn't get it. They were the ones who couldn't see the big picture of the Kingdom—they were blind to a reality beyond what they could imagine.
The 12 weren't so quick on the draw themselves. They wanted a Messiah to ride in on a flaming horse, overthrow the Romans and usher in a glorious new age of divine dominion. They got a Messiah who washed their feet.
Perhaps this tension that we find—living in a normal world full of dirt and pain and tedious movement while knowing that we were also made for more—maybe it is resolved when we pray for, and choose to have, eyes to see what the disciples saw ... not just in those rare retreat moments when we catch a glimpse of glory, but eyes to see it always.
When we wake up daily with a full awareness of how powerful God is and how deeply He loves us, the ordinary becomes saturated with life. And it is wild.
It's wild because not only do we breathe in and out under this perspective of God's sovereignty, but we also remember that this incredible God invites us into the enormous story He is writing.
I often ask my 3 year old to help me cook. I don't do it because I need his assistance. In fact, it would be easier and more efficient if I took care of it myself. But I invite him to help because I love him. It's the same interaction between God and us. He calls us into His redemptive work not because He is lost without us, but because He loves us and is offering us a role in the story. That is the otherness we dream of. It's oxygen on a fire that would otherwise burn out.
Having eyes to see this wild reality comes down to where we set our gaze. We either focus on the grind, letting ourselves drown in that sink of dirty dishes or be crushed below the weight of monotonous tasks, or we choose to live above it. We choose to focus our eyes higher and "contemplate the Lord's glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18).
How can we do that in the midst of exhaustion and disappointment? Here are a few places to start.
1. Remember What it Means to Become More in Christ's Economy.
We may sometimes forget that to be more does not mean to be bigger. It doesn't mean more followers, prestigious titles, higher salaries or less annoying work. To be more first means lowering ourselves to the ground in a humility that acknowledges the dust from which we came; and from this vantage point, with our face on the earth, the story explodes with possibility and mystery.
2. Don't Underestimate the Importance of Ordinary Moments.
The repetition of the day-to-day matters because change often happens in the places we most easily brush off. We develop eyes to see when we practice the discipline of contentment and gratitude, and we begin to find that those seemingly insignificant places are soaked with God and that this is where the simple becomes extraordinary.
The repetition of the day-to-day matters because change often happens in the places we most easily brush off.
3. Cut Out the Empty Fillers.
The greatest distractions keeping us from having eyes that see are self-inflicted. Facebook, television, phones, scrolling the Internet looking for something new—at face value they are harmless, but when we run to them out of restlessness and use them to satisfy a hunger for something deeper, it's like eating potato chips when what we really need is a balanced meal. It's empty calories for our soul, and over time, we feel the effect of that malnourishment.
4. Get Your Hands Dirty.
When Jesus spoke with the disciples about the people who didn't get it, I have to wonder what part of that was because for the observing crowd, it was a spectator sport. If we are going to live in an awareness of God's power and redemptive work in the world, we have to get our hands dirty. We have to roll up our sleeves and do more than attend a service and join a small group.
Jesus sent the disciples out and then they kept moving. They never settled into a church routine that centered around them. If we accept the invitation to be a part of what God is doing, we capture the vision of a Kingdom infinitely greater than our own.
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18).
This is where the adventure starts and the wild ways of God overturn our still, quiet worlds. Maybe it carries us across the ocean. Maybe it settles us right where we are. But the truth is that regardless of circumstance, there is a powerful, passionate story on the move and we are called to join. Whether or not we see it will be determined by where we choose to look.

I appreciate the sentiments expressed here and the time it took to pen these thoughts, but I couldn't disagree more.
There is no way that we were benefited with childhoods that were adventurous, fun, and full of discovery, yet the other 70% of our lives are designed to exist within the dull work-home-sleep-repeat bubble with a smattering of fun here and there.
First, since 99.9% of all things in existence are things that are outside our current frame of knowledge, it doesn't just have to be our childhood season when everything is "new" and exciting to us. We know very little even now. And we'll know very little compared to all the fascinating things there are to know even when we're 99 years old.
Second, the mundane parts of a responsible life can take very little time out of each day. Once one's life is organized, it can take merely minutes to an hour out of each day to take out the trash, prepare food, take a shower, pay a bill.
What about earning a living, you ask? We can make that a PART of enjoying an adventurous, dynamic, fascinating life. How? By (1) deliberately designing a lifestyle in which we're actively involved in things that excite us, that connect with the interests God embedded in us. And (2) by making sure that a few of those activities also generate adequate income. This way, you're not living a dynamic childhood only to graduate to a dull majority-of-your-life. No, you're living a dynamic life for the whole span.
Read in context, Scripture simply doesn't support being bored until our transition into Eternity, or living an inactive life with adventure existing only in the metaphysical.
Let's depart from this work-home-sleep-repeat mindset. No wonder people don't covet adulthood. On the contrary: let's actually LIVE these short lives to the full. Make them as dynamic as our personalities desire. God didn't design us with the exploratory nature some people suppress post-childhood just for us to sit at desks for decades on end.
Life is far too short for work-home-sleep-repeat.
Eve, I think you're actually agreeing with the writer more than you realize. She's saying that when we grow up it is easy to lose perspective of the awesomeness of God in our lives and to become frustrated on tired of some of life's repetitive or less interesting experiences.
And do bear in mind that some people's days really are swallowed up by activities and tasks that they would categorize as "repetitive" and "unadventurous". I, for instance, wake up at 5 every morning to be at work in the city by 9 and I work an extremely easy and unchallenging job for 8 hours (mentally draining, trust me! lol) and I get back home at 6:45. I'm a recent college grad so i'm still living at home so between duties around the house and some clerical duties for my church and small group I'm left with little free time between 6:45 and my 10pm bedtime.
However, I'm not giving excuses. I've observed that when I seek God with all my heart and pursue His will I can go through this routine that many would find extremely mundane and sometimes rigorous, and have so much JOY in my life because its like I'm looking through a different lense; God's allowing me to look at life through the perspective He sees it rather than the narrow perspective we all so often look from.
All I'm saying is that, yes, we have a choice to life "adventurous" lives when we fully put on Christ and pursue God's will with full intent. YET, to say that this isn't a true challenge in some peoples lives would be sweeping a very real issue under the carpet.
God bless ya :)
Not forgetting the ordinary moments and removing the fillers are great advice. Will we ever put the flesh to rest and just be happy and be still and know that He is God. If you want a life less ordinary then step up, use your God given gifts to serve, don't sweat the small stuff, do something, anything and serve. You will be so blessed and involved in serving The Lord you won't have time to think about the ordinary. Thanks for this article.
Good piece, Cara. Thanks for writing it.
Becoming "seers" isn't something Western philosophical thought instills in us. Because we in the Western church have become so doctrinally (philosophically) oriented, we have difficulty with spiritual growth that leads us to thinking apophatically. We are only taught to process information ketaphically, but that is not the wavelength scripture is ultimately on.
as my husband always says, "most of life is lived in the mundane." that is difficult to swallow, but hard to argue. i love the challenge here to see God in all of it.
- Joy
Thanks for this Cara,
What a great reminder for each of us as we go through the hussle and bussle of life. Your article speaks louder than the words on the page.

Timelines: Defeating Voter Suppression
While planning to address issues of concern and writing vision statements, the single most important question is what your particular issue or concern will look like at a given point in time. Of course this is important because when you describe what you'd like to see in the future, your action plan necessarily contains action items required to achieve your concern or vision. You're allowed to pick any point in time and ask the question. So it is with our campaign to defeat voter suppression. As the efforts to defeat voter suppression move forward we are constantly evaluating the three components of our mantra; (1). What should the education component of our campaign look like? (2). what should the organizational component of our campaign look like? (3). what should the mobilization component of our campaign look like? However, the more strategic question that we address in this week's editorial is, what will North Carolina look like politically on Tuesday, November 5th, 2014?
Consumer Advocates Claim Victory After 2-Year Campaign for Reform
More good news keeps coming for consumers in early 2014. On the heels of new mortgage rules that took effect on January 10, the following week four banks making payday loans pulled their products from the market. Announcing a halt to their triple-digit interest rates were Wells Fargo, Regions, Fifth Third and US Bank. Together, these lenders have combined assets of $2.1 trillion, serving customers through 30,000 branches and more than 21,500 ATMs across the country.
The History of Voter ID Laws Defeating Voter Suppression
EDUCATE, ORGANIZE AND MOBILIZE: Voter ID laws require voters to present in most instances, some type of state issued photo identification in order to vote. It is important to note that most voter ID legislation is coming from Republican controlled states and being justified as necessary to address voter fraud. To date, as shown in the Pennsylvania case, the evidence presented proves that among other things voter fraud is rare or non-existent. This week we'll look at the laws in several states as examples of how these laws came about and are being received in courts and in the court of public opinion. I believe that the best Internet site for a concise overview of voter ID in the United States is one of the sources I've used and relied upon for this article. John Holt
Citizen Koch in North Carolina
What do North Carolina and Wisconsin have in common? On the surface of it, perhaps not much: one has subzero winter temperatures and the other sweltering summers with off the charts humidity. But more and more people are seeing parallels between the tar heel and badger states, particularly the power of unregulated big money in politics. As more and more North Carolinians come to the state capitol every week protesting cuts to unemployment insurance, tax cuts for the state's wealthiest citizens, loosening of environmental regulations, and threats to voting rights,
Voter ID Victory
The bad back that awakened me at 6:00 a.m. on this birthday morning and that spurred unpleasant thoughts of growing old dissipated in an instant with an email alert that our long-awaited decision in the voter ID had issued. I didn't have the opinion, but I had the result – we won! Thousands of hours of hard work in collaboration with my fantastic colleagues had not been a total waste. And that adrenaline rush only increased when I read the opinion. "Disenfranchising voters 'through [no] fault of the voter himself' is plainly unconstitutional," (p.43), wrote the judge, echoing something I'd been saying for two years. The judge agreed with virtually every argument we made in concluding that this law didn't promote any valid governmental objective while disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of eligible voters.
White House to Expand Education Opportunity
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Thirty years ago, one year of tuition, room, and board at a nation's four-year, degree-granting institution cost $8,756 on average (or $3,499, when adjusted for inflation). As of 2010, that figure had almost tripled to $22,092 – and that's just for one year. To meet this economic hurdle, 39.6 million Americans have turned to the student loan market, taking on more than $1 trillion in debt of last year, according to the Department of Education's Federal Student Aid office. Higher education, once a pipeline to the American Dream, is quickly becoming just a pipedream for low-income and underserved Americans.

Foods That Make You Happy
- jfood Oct 6, 2008 06:22 PM
A few other threads and a crazy day gave thought to this. Woke up with a back ache so no exercise, 10 meetings, no breakfast, no lunch, market down 800 points, lots of good progress on things, one cup of coffee and a stale small bag of Famous Amos Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
Now onto dinner. Jfood opens the freezer and stares and smiles. There is still some hazan bolognese, some lasagne and he remembered he made Emeril's Banan Cream Pie. So what to choose. Yup, all three.
So while mrs jfood is finishing up shopping with little jfood, he gets his dinner going and prepares Mrs jfood's salmon.
She walks in, looks at the dinner table and says, "Wow, either a tough day or a great day."
So the question is....What food make the long days end better than you thought around lunchtime?
Believe it or not, breakfast food. Eggs over medium, bacon, grits or biscuits and gravy or maybe some fried potatoes. Oh and coffee. I don't know, it just makes me happy.
re: Boudleaux
I have to agree with breakfast food. And add to that: veggies that came from the local farm. A big pot of homemade soup on a cold day (white bean, beef barley, chili, chicken and rice). My grandmother's meatballs and sauce.
And most especially, good coffee.
What a great thread! Glad your day became great at the end, jfood!
re: Boudleaux
Ooooh, Boudleaux, eggs definitely make it all better! Throw in some bacon or sausage and some homefries and I am in heaven and smiling from ear to ear.
re: lynnlato
Yep! I'm right there with you. It is nice too on cold, rainy days.
re: lynnlato
And to add to the egg/breakfast theme: an Irish breakfast is soooo good. I had one recently with black and white pudding. And the white pudding espeically was nice. Anything with steel-cut oats is good, this being no exception!
re: poptart
what is black and white pudding?
re: jenniegirl
Brace yourself, it sounds gross but it's soooo good. I didn't know what it was when I first ate it....later on was shocked to know i just had black and white pudding, two things i swore were to gross sounding to try. But actually they are so delicious. This is a link to white pudding, but there is also a description of the black. Basically they are like a sausage, but filled mostly with steel-cut oats as well as some meat and spices. Not the least bit greasy (at least the ones I had) and so tasty:
re: poptart
The white pudding sounds interesting. I've never heard of it. I have heard of black pudding but it is something that I have been waiting to go back to the UK to try.
Thanks for the link and information!
re: Boudleaux
White pudding is fantastic! That or a macaroni pie (also a Scottish food stuff) would cheer me up for sure!
Other foods that make me happy - if I can't have a vanilla or red velvet cupcake it'd have to be scrambled eggs on toast - fantastic, or macaroni cheese, but only if made by my mum!
re: Boudleaux
Breakfast food works well, but a big bowl of pasta with nothing but butter and lots of grated sharp cheese takes the number one spot. (Well, maybe sometimes quite a bit of sliced garlic in the butter.)
re: Anonimo
Wow that sounds pretty good right now.
To me it is always a pasta dish or pizza. as others have said breakfast, I can eat pasta, pissa for breakfast most any time.
A huge sundae. Chunky ice cream topped by a sauce warm enough to melt it, whipped cream, and a crunchy topping for texture.
Stopping by at my Mom's house to visit ( I stop by 3-4 times a week, both she and I live alone) and finding out that she made one of those childhood favorites of mine, that only she can make right. And, of course, there is always enough leftover for a take home dinner and lunch.
Mom also loves to bake, loves to try out new recipes. I do not eat sweets. SO she has taken to setting aside a batch of mom's home made sweet baked goodies for my team at work. Mom likes to spread those happy smiles around.
For myself, a good nice awesome bit ot cheese; pasta with tons of melted butter and freash garted cheese, or a good asian soup.
re: theferlyone
Carvel Ice Cream's Fat-Free Soft Serve (Super Creamy) with their "Brown Bonnet" on top (Milk Chocolate Hard Sauce). It's my Good/Bad Favorite!
A bowl of good soup -- e.g. chicken vegetable.
Warm apple pie with real vanilla ice cream
Chinese dumplings
Beef noodle soup
Chinese hot pot
Tapioca pudding
Saltenas, fried clams or scallops, a good chili dog or taco, dim sum, duck, a Taylor Pork Roll sandwich, Italian sausage sandwich.
After yesterday's 800 point drop, a box of wine,
Raw fennel slices always helps, as do spicy pickled peppers (not at the same time). Or risotto ai funghi that's like 1/2 funghi, with lots of pecorino and some raw oil, with part of a nice bottle of red burgundy, ricotta with honey for dessert, then under a blanket, a good movie, and the rest of the bottle.
re: tmso
michael chiarello told the story that his mom was always incorporating fennel into his foods to calm him down -- and giving him fresh raw fennel. http://members.aol.com/wheatldee/Dire...
Deciding last minute to go out for dinner after a rough day.
Have a few drinks, unwind, and have someone else do the cooking, and cleaning. It does not matter if it is a big steak, chinese food, mexican food, etc.
re: erwocky
Pizza. Frozen and doctored, pickup at local joint. But it's pizza. And red wine.
re: erwocky
XD.........i love that comment "i'm 6 years old again, but this time mom lets me drink"
spanakopita and a really fresh greek salad make me very happy. and good taramasalata with toasted warm pita bread. and indian butter chicken. and thai drunken noodles and som tum. aioli makes me happy -- especially on an extra-crispy french fry. bouillabaisse or zuppa de pesci. shrimp cocktail, with remoulade. good fried calamari. hot artichoke-parm dip. arugula with vinaigrette and shaved parm. lamb/beef gyros. eggs florentine. shrimp newburg. lobster, any way, shape, form. coconut custard. crab imperial. good smoked baby back ribs. n.c. style pulled pork on a fresh bun. steamy french onion soup. crab crepes. shrimp and pork dumplings. hot flaky biscuits with sausage gravy. seared scallops. quenelles de brochet with sauce americaine. blanquette de veau. toasted coconut doughnut. fried green tomatoes. keema kabob. tom kha gai. mussels marinara. shrimp fra diavolo. carnitas. corn pone with field peas. saag paneer. thai crispy fish.
re: alkapal
oh, i forgot champagne! thanks for reminding me, bubbles4me. make it bubbles4me2. ;-P
re: alkapal
I have to agree. Bubbles, Cheese & Bread can make any day better!
re: scuzzo
Giant baked potato with butter, sour cream, green onion and sweet green peas....when I am having a really bad day my hubby will pick up potatoes and bake them for me.....also a junkie for chips, salsa and a really good margarita. When all else fails a cold glass of really good Champagne will set me right really quick!
re: scuzzo
Jfood was sitting having a cup of coffee this morning and readin the paper and mrs jfood started making her omelette. He noticed that she was separating eggs and throwing the yolks down the sink..."NO!!!"
Jfood will now have ample supply of yolks for creme brulee going forward. :-))
Good chili
hot and sour soup
hand cut french fries with malt vinegar and salt
reese's pieces sundae from Friendly's
re: MoxieBoy
The hot food counter at the Hong Kong Supermarket on Rt 18 in E. Brunswick with a can of coconut water. (One Up-man-ship).
This answer is better and cheaper!
What a great topic, jfood =)
Foods that make it "There, there - all better" in my world:
raspberry gelato
extra crispy bacon, by itself
Definately sushi, oysters, seafood and shellfish with either a cold beer or a nice margarita on the rocks w/salt.
re: mpjmph
Banana pudding made with nilla wafers, PB and J, Sushi, Pasta, RIta's Water Ice, Matzo Ball Soup, Pastrami or Corned Beef, My Beef Stew, Hot Chocolate, chocolate anything really - I'm a sucker for the theobromide (I even have a shirt with it's molecular map.)
well in general...all GOOD food makes me happy in a toe curling kinda way..but for some reason my first thought to this thread was marshmallow peeps... maybe because i only have them once a year, and just looking at them makes me happy.
I'll also add the wonderfulness that is a honey crisp apple, just because I rarely have them...seriously, i have been stalking the local farmers markets waiting for them to arrive.
However, what really warms the cockles of my heart, is anything my family cooks for me, particularly my parents, because it brings back such warm and wonderful memories, and I don't presently live near enough to my family to visit for meals (actually that would require a flight). This would include (a non-exhaustive list):
-my Mom's salt codfish cakes, her fish and brewis, her molasses buns and teabuns, fruitcake......
-my Dad's pea soup with Mom's doughbuoys, and their combined effort of Jigg's Dinner, Dad's homemade beans...and no one can seem to fry an egg that tastes remotely as good as my Dad makes.
-my middle sister's piccadillo chimichangas (made veggie) because she used to make it for me every birthday when we shared an apt. also her egg's benedict (don't tell my oldest sister)
-my oldest sister's egg's benedict :) and the scones and such she makes for brunch...her sushi, and just about every damn thing she makes and bakes for thanksgiving, Christmas dinner and New Year's Eve....but most importantly with respect to Christmas, her Stollen....
( i'm a little home-sick this evening...can you tell? )
On to wine....found a reserve of one of my favorites on sale this evening..that made me happy :)
A pre-dinner preparation once a week to cheer me up if needed: an artichoke topped and then steamed in the MW (learned that here from you Hounds), eaten with a homemade yogurt-based dip (with a bit of oil and flavor depending on mood, could be olive oil and spicy mustard, sesame oil and chile, neutral oil and Tabasco) served with a slightly chilled red, most often a Chilean cab. Prep time of five minutes is followed by slow eating and sipping, eventual choke removal, thin slicing of the heart, and more sipping and savoring each delicious bit.
re: Passadumkeg
We just had that "happy meal!" Damn fine Mexican food! El Tapatio in Fair Haven, CT (east New Haven neighborhood). Look for new review!
Eh....yea, I forgot: the company of Mark, "Passadumkeg" was part of the comidas bueno-ness. He brought me a Cadillac (for Cadillac mountain at Bar Harbor), Stout and Thunder Hole Brown Ale, both from Bar Harbor Brewing company! Mark's trying to educate me in good beers.
Last night I had a "foods that make you happy" dinner. I wandered into a cheese/gourmet shop I'd been wanting to try. Bought a bottle of Hefewiezen beer, some brie, some amazing rustic bread (whole wheat/rye??), and some paper-thin sliced salami (they had a small container of mixed types). Went home and that was my dinner. Very simple, but all of the ingredients were divine. Happy happy happy!
re: poptart
brie on a crispy/chewy french baguette makes me happy, too!
re: alkapal
I concur, heartily!
re: alkapal
Because you said this, I bought brie and baguette yesterday and that was my supper! So great!
re: scuzzo
And I had a repeat of the previous night's supper, german rye and brie. Alas, the brie is now gone. Probably a good thing, because I'd probably have had it again tonight!
It's the little things, isn't it??
Oh so many!
Vegatable soup with monkey bread(plain, not cinnamon sugar)
Pork Roast with gravy & mashed potatoes
A simple pasta dish with sauteed mushrooms, onions, pancetta, thyme & cream
Bacon & Egg Sandwich (with egg slightly runny)
Tres Leches Cake
Chinese food Chinese food Chinese food Chinese food...
And potato pancakes. (But only my own.) And if these should somehow fail, there's always the Egg.
Pancakes, particularly chocolate chip, always make me smile.
Chocolate ice cream and a root beer also are soothing on a hard day.
A big plate of penne a la vodka warms the soul.
Take home sushi eaten on the couch in my PJ's is a great way to end a long day.
Chocolate chip cookies out of the oven, need I say more?
And a beer, or wine, with sympathetic friends can make a world of difference.
Oh and gelato, gelato = happiness.
Thanksgiving is not a big holiday in Québec, but this year we are doing a harvest supper with lots of local-produce salads and cooked vegetable dishes, as well as a turkey (but plenty of choice for the non-meat-eaters among us). We are also raising a bit of money for Hurricane Ike victims in Haiti and Cuba.
I love good pizza and its kin - whether Italian pizza or the lovely flatbreads of the Eastern Mediterranean. With some nice but not expensive wine and lively green salads such as arugula or watercress...
And I'm fond of a lot of the small dishes of the Mediterranean. The thought of them makes me feel sunny and happy, like a Greek village cat sleeping in the sun.
a big stack of fluffy pancakes with melted butter and real maple syrup and a perfectly microfoamed latte. follow that with a really well-frosted cupcake and an ice cold milk, and the day ended great in my book.
Cheese. Especially goat cheese. Especially Humboldt Fog.
Perfect, tree-ripened peaches.
Fried potatoes.
Hot Apple Dumplings with Cold Vanilla Ice Cream
Chilled Strawberry Wine
Warm Yeasted Sugar Cake
Salad Lyonnaise(Bacon and eggs are primary in this so I guess I am agreeing with all the breakfast people)
I picked Rome and Jonagold apples with my nine year old daughter last Sunday - perfect fall day. The apples were warm from the sun as we picked them from the trees. We made an apple tart (topped with vaniila bean ice cream) that afternoon. It was wonderful. A happy day that I will never forget......
re: six dower
Beautiful, six dower. I can't wait to do the same soon with my granddaughter.
My husband, 2 boys, and I did the apple picking today, at a local orchard. The weather was perfect, and we picked a wide variety of apples (pear, mitsu, winesap, golden delicious, and rome beauty.) Then it was on to the buffalo farm to pick our pumpkins, and some buffalo meat. When we got home, I made a apple crumb pie topped with vanilla bean ice cream, and home-made whipped cream. It was a perfect day/dinner. (Yes I had pie for dinner, did not want to fill up on an actual meal)
It is very easy to make me happy with food!
But some of my favorite comfort foods:
Spaghetti and meatballs
Linguine with clam sauce
Chow mein
Mum's kimchi
Oxtails in any form: Korean soup , braised oxtails in red wine. Throw in short ribs (Kalbi, braised, in soup, etc,) and I am so happy my eyes pop out of my head.
Mashed potatoes, or even boiled potatoes with butter and salt.
Mac and cheese
chocolate chocolate chocolate!
Roast chicken dinner with all the fixings: gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mash potatoes, green beans and carrots.
Lamb, butternut squash and pomegranate stew.
Dumplings in all forms: chinese dim sum, chicken and dumplings, matzoh ball soup.
- Congee with salted duck egg, BBQ pork and BBQ duck. If I was on death row, this would be my last meal.
- Toasted sandwiches with sardines in tomato sauce. It sounds really odd, but my grandpa and I loved these and it always reminds me of him.
- Steaming hot rice with corned beef from a tin, the ultimate lazy meal. Close runners-up in the salty tinned things + rice category are milkfish in chili oil + rice, and fried dace + rice.
- Pho, with lots of tendon and tripe. So comforting.
- Montreal smoked meat from Schwartz's.
re: mogo
A nice steaming bowl of milky white tonkotsu ramen with a layer of grease floating on the top. magic.
A traditional English fry up (breakfast) with a good mug of tea.
A nice bit of pork belly with crispy crackling on top.
A roast rib of beef or leg of lamb with all the trimmings, and a flavourful gravy.
A sizzlng premium quality sausage on a BBQ
a crispy roast duck, hanging up in the window of a chinese restaurant
Basically, its all unhealthy but it makes me happy!
something a bit healther would be a massive plate of mixed sashimi, including yellow tail, abalone, scallops, sweet shrimp, toro, salmon, and sea urchin and ikura sushi. With freshly grated wasabi and a nice thick soy sauce!
this is odd but it stems from the fact my mother and i both love it- liquorice just the smell even and cadbury dairy milk varieties again childhood parties and the such infact party pies sausage rolls pies in general with tomato sauce make me happy. raisin toast also reminds me of my mother and road trips.
my favourite food since i was two has been japanese pickled plum triangles which i used to get at dimaru in melbourne delicious always make me smile and ice cream in general and warm apple pies remind me of times with my brothers on holidays.
re: umbushi plum
Do you mean musubi with ume-boshi (pickled plum triangles)?
Oh gawd! Too many to choose!
I guess what really makes me happy is actually getting in the kitchen and cooking something I've never done before.
Another thing would probably be a good cup of coffee and a bagel with lox, cream cheese, capers, tomatoes...the works.
Also, I love just eating some sort of good cheese - like an herbed goat's cheese - spread on some yummy crackers with a bottle of wine. Dinner of champions!
Right now, after recovering from a touch of salmonella poisoning (I still don't know how I got it)...solid food in general makes me happy. Actually, the foods that really make me happy even though I haven't had it in years is my mom's lamb chop stew. The last time she made it was about 7 years ago for my birthday. I requested it.
Great topic!
Mac n Cheese
Bologna Sandwich (no kidding) with fried onions
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Chicken noodle soup
Fried Catfish with hot sauce
A med rare hamburger with REAL fries
deviled eggs
My grandma's cornbread giblet dressing
Fried egg sandwich with bacon
Okay..now I have to go eat.
re: southernitalian
Mmmm...Pho. I know what I'm having for lunch.
New York bagels (we live in CA, bring them back two dozen at a time and freeze in twosies) toasted, lox, cream cheese, capers, red onion and Champagne.
Or breakfast for dinner. Until reading this thread, I didn't realize that my mother hadn't invented this half a century ago.
Pasta with butter and cheese.
I'm getting happy just thinking about the above :)
Cold sesame noodles for me. Just soba or spaghetti noodles tossed in sesame paste, rice vinegar, chili oil and garlic. Top with shredded cucumber, carrot, scallion, and scrambled egg strips. One bite and I'm a kid again!
On the junk food side, Totino's frozen pizza carries a lot of nostalgia. The first taste always conjures up the faces of absent friends, and the smell of the ocean breeze in Panama City Spring Break.

I would love to see the same survey applied to Android customers, and more specifically Samsung customers, especially those using the latest hardware. Recent reports put iOS app retention rate well ahead of Android, and we know that that customer satisfaction surveys again put Apple far ahead of Android, but I'd be still interested to see if Google's attempts at an Apple-like ecosystem are starting to gain traction.

One of the human stars of the annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show taking place in New York's Madison Square Garden is from Fort Worth.Edd Bivin is serving as judge at the world's most famous dog show for a milestone 20th time."I never tire of doing it," he says. "I think this year will be just as exciting to me as the first time was and the fifth time and the 15th."Bivin can't get enough of it because he has a lifelong fondness for dogs."It doesn't matter whether they're mixed breed or purebred," he says. "I love dogs of any kind."That said, he's partial to the purebreds because of their predictability in terms of appearance, attitude and behavior. Simply put, when he mates two Doberman pinschers, his favorite breed, he likes knowing in advance exactly what he's going to get, no surprises.As usual, he'll be judging the country's elite dogs in all seven breed categories: sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting and herding."In my opinion, it's the most important part of a dog show," Bivin says of breed judging. "It's where you really have a chance to assess the quality of the breeding stock that is brought before you."The Westminster Kennel Club 138th Annual Dog Show will be televised live 7-10 p.m. Monday on CBNC and 7-10 p.m. Tuesday on USA.But those telecasts focus mostly on groups and Best in Show — which means if you want to see Bivin in action, you'll have to check out the live streaming of all breed judging during the day at www.westminsterkennel club.org/.Bivin, 73, was born in Fort Worth and has lived here his entire life. He retired 10 years ago after 32 years at TCU, which included 17 years as vice chancellor for administrative services.There have always been dogs in Bivin's home, but the first one was a mutt."She was in the house when I was born," he recalls. "It was at her death that I persuaded my parents to let me have a purebred dog, which was a Pomeranian, a little dog that acted like a big dog."Then, from the time that I was 12 years old, I was interested in the sport of purebred dogs and I became a student of breeds."When he was 21, Bivin was approved by the American Kennel Club to judge his first dog show.During the 50-plus years since, he and his late wife, Irene, were icons of the sport. In 1999, Bivin was Westminster's Best in Show judge.Bivin's wife turned him on to Dobermans nearly 40 years ago. "They're smart, they're loyal, they're wonderful athletic dogs," he says. Yes, Dobermans get bad press from time to time. "But that, generally speaking, is not the fault of the dogs. That's the fault of the people who own them."It's worth noting that dog show judges don't critique the animals in quite the same way that layman watching on TV often do.In short, the dog show is not a beauty pageant.It might be hard to remember that, given the way that canine contestants are coifed and groomed to perfection. What the judges are evaluating, however, are the dogs' qualities as breeding stock."Each breed has specifications and qualities written about it," Bivin explains. "It's what's called the Standard and essentially it describes the ideal specimen of that breed. You judge each dog against the Standard, against what is considered to be perfection for that breed."It's about a dog's balance and proportion, carriage and outline. Also, in many instances, the written descriptions emphasize what the dog is supposed to do. A retriever is supposed to retrieve, a herding dog is supposed to herd and so on."These are the things that the judge is looking at. It's not one dog against the other. And it's certainly not about the grooming of the dog."Bivin, known for his intensity and decisive style in the arena, is not one to be easily swayed by a pretty face. If anything, he gets annoyed when owners over-emphasize doggie glamour."They have taken some breeds and made them so extreme and overdone that it's been detrimental to the breed, in my opinion," he says. "A poodle is a case in point. A poodle is a wonderful water retriever dog that originally came in standard, miniature and then toys."People who know the breed know what a wonderful dog it is. But the extremity in some of the grooming has made this breed distasteful to some people. It's a water dog. Its lion trim was originally done to facilitate its retrieving in the water. But the grooming became fancier and fancier and fancier."Today, they have too much hair. They're overdone."Bivin likes that the public can watch the dog show from home and learn from it."It's a wonderful branding opportunity for purebred dogs," he says. "People can see a confirmation of what they think is desirable in a breed they might be thinking about buying or acquiring, as well as an assessment of a breed they may have curled up on the couch beside them."

The long-awaited Blu-ray of "A Hard Day's Night" comes with the prominent subtitle: Directed by Richard Lester. Truth in packaging, as the Criterion Collection's smashing release of the Beatles' film puts the focus squarely on the iconoclastic director, whose vision and bravery under fire made what could have been a forgettable "jukebox musical" into a classic of several genres. "A Hard Day's Night" makes most critics' best-ever lists. The Beatles' first and best film is widely considered … [Read more...]

Fuller's 'Big Red One' botched on Blu-ray
Sam Fuller's "The Big Red One," a lost platoon of a movie that was cut to shreds upon initial release, finally came home to a hero's welcome in 2005 with the release of "The Reconstruction." What appeared to theatrical audiences of 1980 as a ragtag chronicle of young men at war now stands tall as one of the dozen or so great movies about World War II, thanks to a intensive effort that returned about an hour of footage to the film. Fuller never saw his movie in its glory. He died in 1997, … [Read more...]
'Touch of Evil' on Blu-ray, times 3
The three faces of "Touch of Evil" make their U.S. debuts on Blu-ray in Universal's "limited edition" rerelease of the dark Orson Welles classic. The Blu-ray release is essentially a rerun of the October 2008 "50th Anniversary Edition," complete with director Welles' pleading and cajoling notes to the studio that took the editing away from him. They're reproduced here in the same sturdy brown booklet. The film was the subject of a "festival tribute" at the 2014 TCM Classic Film Festival, … [Read more...]
'Foreign Correspondent': Hitch at war
The Brits excelled at propaganda movies, an awkward genre that nonetheless produced a handful of classics -- say, Noel Coward's "In Which We Serve" and the Archers' "The 49th Parallel." MIA from the brisk U.K. propaganda effort was one Alfred Hitchcock, the director who'd found fame combining dark British sensibilities with German Expressionistic aesthetics. Hitchcock moved to Hollywood as WWII began, producing as his first American film the apolitical romance "Rebecca" (1940). Hitchcock … [Read more...]
'Throne of Blood': Madness & 'Macbeth'
Shakespearean hearts of darkness pump the lifeforce into "Throne of Blood," one of Akira Kurosawa's greatest films. Loosely based on "Macbeth," the movie is a blood-soaked tragedy set in feudal Japan of the 16th century. "Throne of Blood" is widely regarded as one of the most successful film adaptations of a Bard play. Kurosawa dares to edit Shakespeare's story lines, adding back stories and deleting major characters, but the motivations and emotions remain true. The work contains a … [Read more...]
A trio of Halloween treats from Criterion
When it comes to classy horror, everything looks better in black in white. See "Dr. Caligari." "Psycho." "Vampyr." "Night of the Living Dead." "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." ... And "Eyes Without a Face." Georges Franju, director of that French horror classic, once was asked why he preferred his chills in black and white. He pointed to his first film, the poetic slaughterhouse documentary "Blood of the Beasts": "If it were in color, it would be repulsive." The Criterion … [Read more...]
Miyazakis' 'Poppy Hill' in bloom
"It's like some cheap melodrama," the teen says to the girl he loves, who may or may not be his long-lost sister. It's teen melodrama all right, but hardly cheap. "From Up On Poppy Hill" is another handsome and touching film from Japan's Studio Ghibli, factory of animated masterpieces. Hayao Miyazaki, the director of "Princess Mononoke," "Spirited Away" and several dozen other fantasy films, came up with the concept and adapted the story. Surprisingly, there are no talking animals or … [Read more...]
Criterion takes '3:10 to Yuma'
A plain-speaking western hero makes a lonely stand against a gang of outlaws. The clock ticks down. The townsfolk cower. A train steam-bellows down the tracks, its arrival presaging a shootout and near-certain death for the hero. That's "High Noon" all right, one of the most famous American westerns. But it's also "3:10 to Yuma," a lesser-known film that came five years later. "High Noon" seems to have suffered a critical downgrade over the past decade or so, perhaps due to its … [Read more...]
Fritz Lang's 'Ministry of Fear'
Funny thing about the wrong man: He never, ever did it. This lack of mystery never held back the thriller subgenre, in large part because of Alfred Hitchcock's fondness for tales of the unjustly accused on the run. The German director Fritz Lang also worked cases of mistaken identity, notably in "Fury" (1936) and "Ministry of Fear" (1944). The Criterion Collection has revived "Ministry of Fear" in a no-nonsense Blu-ray/DVD presentation of the Graham Greene adaptation. Lang made several … [Read more...]
'Ripper Street': Victorian evil at large
The shadow of wicked olde Jack hangs heavy over "Ripper Street." Is this a specter, or a warning of the Ripper's return? The creators of this terrific BBC One series wisely keep Jack the Ripper sidelined, at least in the first season, which just wrapped season 1 on BBC America. Good move. We didn't need another Ripper procedural. Think of it as a U.S. series looking at LAPD after the Nightstalker murders, or New York cops after Son of Sam.

Rode, JA; Baur, E; Cox, AL; (2009) Ethnographic Personas. In: (Proceedings) International Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference [EPIC 2009].
Full text not available from this repository.
In this paper we present ethnographic personas. These are extensions of traditional data-driven personas but retain the richness of ethnographic findings combined with the memorability and ease of reference of single-sheet personas. Further they allow us to consider households, offices, and other constellations of users and technologies that richly interact with one another, as opposed to single isolated users.

Lots of odd choices to make. We've been looking at this pretty hard.
Here's a couple of papers for background:
Basic choices are things like:
-- in-band or out-of-band (approximately)
-- L2 or L3 controls, or both
-- access control mechanism
The last one is the fun part: do you do VLAN reassignment of
the switch port, do you do ARP spoofing of the gateway, do you
do MAC address filtering or retagging, or do you do IP redirect?
My own preference is that you do switchport VLAN reassignment.
This assumes that you have a high-quality infrastructure, and
1-user-per-port. CCA can do that. BradfordNetworks can do it,
with more platforms than Cisco can. And it looks like those two
open source projects can do it.
One big differentiator is remediation capability. It all gets
very fuzzy when you start to look at that part of it, so my
recommendation is to choose your architecture first, then worry
about the assessment and remediation components. Or to put it
another way, you are doing ACCESS CONTROL. Make sure your
ACCESS CONTROL mechanism works the way you want it to.

Absolutely loved this tour. From the easy meeting point to the gradual climbs and therefore easy walking Danny's thorough knowledge and clear English made this tour a delight. A must for everyone.
Reviewed by: Jordan, Australia, May 2014
An interesting and enjoyable time that was invaluable for the rest of my week. As I went about Hong Kong I was able to recognise where I was and share interesting information with my business colleagues and friends. The tour was well-paced and flexible so that we covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of different things but, Jennifer as excellent at adapting to the changing pedestrian traffic and the weather. It threatened rain all day but, we were never caught out when it fell.
Jennifer was personable, friendly and very well informed. I learned about history, culture and colloquial life in Hong Kong. For example, I learned about the influence of feng shui on the placement, orientation and design of buildings by the biggest banks. Even more entertaining was to hear how new buildings by the mainland Chinese used feng shui to challenge Hong Kong skyline landmarks and then how those buildings were modified to respond. This is just one example of the sort of local knowledge, combining politics, culture, superstition, philosophy and history, which really helps one gain an insight into life in Hong Kong.
If you prefer to see life from the street than through the window of a bus then this is the tour for you. If you are lucky enough to get Jennifer as your guide then that will be a wonderful bonus.

Fingerprinting (service packs in particular) may or may not be evolved
enough for your needs. TARGETEDGUESS should be chosen as carefully as
you would if you were expecting to loudly fully negotiate a connection;
primary criteria being that where a banner providing adequate
enumeration information is possible/expected is best case, open port
next best. Both one open and one closed/filtered are needed for more
specific fingerprinting; high ports are good for a stealth(ier)
closed-port detection.
I'm sure there are more specialized packages out there, though it should
be known that there is NEVER a *guarantee* the remote IDS is not going
to take notice. Half-close provides as good a chance as any. The degree
of noisiness most likely grows right along with specificity per
Careful port target selection is paramount, detection should be expected
in any case...any services providing a banner w/magic bullet
identification in a fell swoop preferred...
This is but one way to approach it..

James Chester is set to miss Hull's FA Cup final with a hamstring injury, while Sone Aluko could be unavailable with an ankle problem.
Chester was forced to leave the field just before half-time in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Aston Villa, although boss Steve Bruce refused to rule him out of the Wembley meeting with Arsenal on May 17.However, punters using their free bet may be interested to know that Chester looks highly unlikely to feature in the showpiece match, leaving the Tigers without a key figure at the heart of defence.Bruce said: "The earliest reports on James look as if the hamstring that he's come off with, he's re-injured it. It looks bleak for the lad."We can't say until we scan him and know the extent but it doesn't look very good for him."Aluko could also be a doubt for the meeting with the Gunners after turning his ankle in training Bruce confirmed that he will definitely miss the upcoming league fixture with Manchester United.He continued: "Sone won't be available (for Manchester United) on Tuesday, it's touch and go for the cup final I'd have thought."
