As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on February 29, 2012
S. 292 would ratify the Salmon Lake Area Land Ownership Consolidation Agreement that was signed by the federal government, the state of Alaska and the Bering Straits Native Corporation (a native-owned regional corporation established to administer land given to Alaska Natives under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act) in 2007. That agreement was to settle a land dispute. Based on information from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), CBO expects that enacting the legislation
would increase offsetting receipts (a credit against direct spending) in 2013; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that such effects would be insignificant. The act would not affect revenues.
S. 292 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.

•American Bar Association
•American College of Legal Medicine
•Pennsylvania Bar Association
•Philadelphia Bar Association
Fred has represented numerous physicians, podiatrists and nurses in health care liability matters. In addition, using his background as a former practicing podiatrist, he has represented podiatric groups practicing within hospital and academic facilities. He has handled several hundred medical malpractice cases involving numerous medical, facility and nursing specialties. He also has significant experience in representing laboratories involving alleged failure to diagnose cervical and related gynecologic cancers.
Since joining the firm in 1992, Fred estimates he has taken 75 to 100 cases to trial, of which approximately 40 went to verdict, resulting in 30 defense verdicts. Ten to 15 of his cases ended in verdicts or settlements significantly below the settlement demands.
He has successfully defended physicians involving catastrophic injuries, including amputations, paralysis, failure to diagnose cancers and death by demonstrating compliance with standard of care and/or lack of causation relating to the injuries. He has also successfully mitigated damages relating to nursing home injuries by demonstrating other non-related medical causes which significantly contributed to the alleged injuries.
Fred represented a health care provider against whom the plaintiff prevailed on the theory of res ipsa at the trial court level. This award was ultimately reversed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which significantly eroded this theory as it relates to physicians and health care providers.
He has successfully used multi-faceted expert teams in various specialties to challenge causation in catastrophic injury cases. In one particular case, with the use of a forensic pathologist, pulmonologist, internist and cardiologist, Fred's team was able to settle a lung cancer death case in a relatively young individual for under $500, 000 from the original demand of $3 million.
Fred has lectured for various medical organizations and the Philadelphia Bar Association in the areas of medical malpractice and legal malpractice.
He is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University. Following graduation from college, he attended the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. He then maintained a private medical practice until he achieved his juris doctor, with honors, in 1992.

50% water change a must?
I plan on Ei dosing but and since I never have a planted tank, i plan on doing 50% water changes for a long while. But that equates to 150 gallons a week, is there a happy medium without testing every week?
If you dose less, you need to change less water. You new to find the best level for your plants by trial and error.
At first I was dosing 2/3 of recommended level, and changing 30% of water - plants weren't happy.
I would say no not initially until you know what you nutrient uptake looks like.
Early on I would say testing is your friend. After few weeks of EI and stable plant load you will have a fairly good idea of where your nitrates are running throughout the week. Depending on your dosing level you may or may not need the large end of week water change to "reset" the tank. This determination would be hard to make early on without testing.
Play it by ear, you have a huge system there which will inherently give you a little more stability. EI, while awesome, was not handed down on high to be followed by the letter. Tweak it, adapt it, experiment with it. It makes it fun.
What I did was to initially test regularly to find the levels of uptake in my tank, then maybe monthly, and now I have dialed in my nutrient dosing.
In my (understocked) 250gal tank, I change 5 gallons (2%) every day.
EI means you add a surplus of nutrients. Not that expensive, but for a 300gal tank, if you add a lot and then remove a lot, it adds up too. So some initial testing to dial in things might really be beneficial in the long run. Plus it gives you some better understanding of the dynamics in your tank.
We had a couple of threads EXACTLY like this one throughout the last week.
Popular consensus was that less dosing/smaller dose amounts = less water changes.
Testing will help you achieve the right balance.
Use the search button next time!
That was one of the main points EI since few people bother to test to begin with. Adding to that, people also never/rarely used standards to ensure their test kit readings were accurate to begin with, most still do not, they just assume.
I have no issues with test kits, I've used them and developed quite a few methods myself specific to planted tanks.
The problem is more "human".
We still are going to do a water change, we still are okay with that and caring for the tank and fish in a good manner. 50% is an arbitrary %. It was chosen because it made the math build up easy. This was BEFORE dosing calculators and modeling graphing charts.
Folks should start at a non limiting level and then slowly reduce the dosing down till they see a negative effect on the plants(perhaps the best test kit for the human issues), then bump back up to the last highest dosing routine.
Or you can simply do the 50%, dose the ferts and not worry and fuss.
I change about 70% weekly and clean the tank well, trim etc.
I have about 440 gal worth of aquariums, takes me about 2 hours once a week. Hardly difficult chore for that much aquarium.
Do I test?
I did for somethings in the past, but mostly light/CO2 and 95% CO2, these are far more important and manageable than nutrients.
I do few water changes on the non CO2 tank, and maybe once every 3-4 weeks on my iwagumi hairgrass tank as the hair grass just does not consume much ferts. It also has low light.
Balance is more than nutrients, it includes CO2 and light 1st, the last part would be the nutrients in terms of "balance". Plant species, fish, biomass etc, food type, simple care of the scape etc, these things also regulate whether you might want to do more water changes, or algae, poor plant growth etc.
Water changes are one of the simplest most effective management tools available. Make them easy and if you bother to do them, go big % wise.
If you know yourself well enough and do not like doing them, then go non CO2 and/or low light, low maintenance set/scapes. Many want these nice scapes that require work, and also want/or just buy.....high light, then do not want to do much to keep up on it, that is not realistic.
Don't believe for a minute that for example a full ADA setup maintains itself. They are all built around the water change and even with that algae will form. It's all about lifestyle and what your willing to do. If your not willing to get involved on a regular basis then your focus should be low light, easy plants and low stock setups.
thanks for the info guy!
That's a big tank (300g) for your first planted tank...:)
People poo poo EI often for the water change aspect, but give a blank check to ADA regarding water changes. Discus folks, fish breeders, many fish keepers always did weekly or 2x a week water changes IME. Never hurts to do one and only helps.
I'd say this article is far more important for the OP regarding balance:
If you chose the suggested conclusion that Ole and Troels(and myself and indirectly ADA), you pick low light with cO2, you get manageable growth rates, and easy to care with max wiggle room for error.
Adding CO2 is for the plants, to make them grow better, and faster, but also to prevent plant plant competition, so you can grow any of the 400 or so species together.
If you also use something like soil ADA aqua soil etc......then you also provide a nutrient backup source. This long term source will provide most things, but runs out of NO3 and NH4 after about a year or so.
Maybe less, I know it's all gone after 18 months. Good news is that all the other nutrients, are still there and should last another 10 years.
Here's an example of a client's 350 Gal I redid a couple of months ago:
60-70% weekly water changes: I have a hard plumbed drain, turn a vlave, and it drains down a 1" pipe pretty quick, and then a 1/2" hot/cold water blend with a carbon prefilter to remove chlorine etc.
This is a semi automated system.
Very easy and quick.
You can do a fully automated water change, I tend to use daily 10-20% water changes with those.
You need a hard plumbed set up also with a float switch,a sump and a small powerhead on a timer to a drain.
Redundancy is required for all these. Flooded floors piss client's off, and anyone you live with.
You can also use the Hook:
Add 3/4" flexogen or 1" and it should do the job in about 1 hour or so for the 300 Gal tank.
You'll be busy then also...cleaning filters, trimming and you will NEED to have the water level down to work and clean the inside of the tank.
If not, then plan to use a snorkel mask and playing with tweezers more than you will care to.
Thank you for taking the time to write that all up, i appreciate it very much.

BEECH BOTTOM - The Business Development Corp. of the Northern Panhandle emerged this week as the new owner of the 600-acre Wheeling Corrugating property in Beech Bottom, a complicated transaction that has been weeks in development.
The deal, which closed Wednesday in New York City, gives the BDC control of the massive property, including 150 acres of prime flat land fronting the Ohio River as well as some 480,000 square feet of fully infrastructured warehouse space already under roof.
State Route 2 LLC, a subsidiary of Los Angeles-based Hackman Capital, owns the rights to the equipment on the property. They'll work together to market it.
"Obviously, it's adjacent to the Ohio River, which is rare," said Susan Skros, vice president of marketing and investor relations for Hackman. "That's why we were drawn to the opportunity - the energy boom in this area of the country, the magnitude of the site and our desire to collaborate with the BDC. We want to redevelop the site for better economic use. This is the perfect opportunity to bring more jobs to the area, a chance to take advantage of the energy boom in the area."
State Route 2 LLC purchased the property out of bankruptcy from the now-defunct RG Steel and immediately signed over the land - and with it, responsibility for legacy issues there - to the BDC. Pat Ford, executive director of the BDC, described it as "a gem" of a property, a rare development opportunity in the heavily industrialized Northern Panhandle. As a nonprofit, the BDC has access to state and federal funds to remediate contaminants on the site, money Hackman couldn't leverage on its own.
"This isn't scary," Ford said. "Scary is when your future lies in someone else's hands and you have no say, no control, no influence. Here, the people who will have a say in this site are the businesses and residents of Brooke and Hancock counties, of the Northern Panhandle."
Papers on file with U.S. Bankruptcy Court show State Route 2 LLC had initially offered $2.1 million, minus any back taxes, for the equipment as well as land. Under bankruptcy court rules, others interested in the property had 14 days to submit higher or better offers for the property, and several potential buyers availed themselves of that opportunity to submit counter bids, pushing the final sale price up.
While Skros declined to say what the actual price was, Ford did say the BDC paid $200,000 to buy the land rights from State Route 2 LLC, which has an option to harvest all of the equipment.
"The chain of title for liability goes from RG directly to the BDC, so we're on the hook for any liability," Ford said. "But we're doing it with our eyes wide open. We've already illustrated our capacity to handle environmental liabilities to to the community of Chester, to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. We've illustrated our capacity to manage environmental cleanup, and we've also illustrated our capacity to successfully seek out and obtain funding to assist with cleanup. We'll apply the same model to the Wheeling Corrugating site. It might look like a steal on paper, but if you're in this business you understand the liability we've assumed."

Though Danish actress Yutte Stensgaard's acting career isn't a success story, she still made an impression on Hammer audiences in her role as the spellbinding vampire, Mircalla, in part two of the Karnstein Trilogy, Lust for a Vampire. The film was not Hammer's finest achievement and has even been described as "one of the worst films ever made" by Ralph Bates who stars as Giles Barton. However, Stensgaard's beauty and girl next door appeal shone through despite the struggles Hammer faced in the wake of a new decade.
The blonde beauty was born Jytte Stensgaard but chose Yutte as her stage name since it was more easily pronounced. Somewhat naive to the profession, Yutte soon faced some difficult decisions about her career. "All the British films being made now have nude scenes," she told a Danish newspaper in 1968. "If not, people won't bother to see them, according to the producers. So sooner or later I'll probably have to jump on the bandwagon." After a few jobs, Hammer nabbed her and she was cast as the 1971 reincarnation of Carmilla Karnstein in Lust for a Vampire--a role previously played by Ingrid Pitt, whose shoes would be too big for her to fill according to the press after its release.
The story takes place in a small village in Austria at a finishing school for girls. Hot, half naked girls that is. A writer, Richard Lestrange (Michael Johnson) is traveling the countryside doing research for his book and scoffs at the warnings by villagers that the legendary Karnstein castle on the hill is teaming with vampires. When he explores the castle, he discovers the girl's school nearby and instantly falls in love with one of its students, Mircalla (Stensgaard). He concocts a pervy plan to become the new English teacher to get closer to Mircalla. When girls go missing no one suspects Mircalla as the culprit because they're all too busy running around in flimsy nighties and making out behind closed doors. Soon Giles Barton (Ralph Bates), the creepy art teacher, uncovers her true identity and ends up dead. Lestrange eventually learns that Mircalla is a vampire and professes his undying love for her. Meanwhile, the gym mistress (what an awesome title), played by Suzanna Leigh, has fallen in love with Lestrange and is torn about the school's headmistress not reporting the mysterious disappearances. As Mircalla devours her classmates and some of the village beauties, with the help of the mysterious Count and Countess Karnstein, all hell breaks loose and soon the villagers demand retribution.
The film is considered one of Hammer's sleazier moments, opting more for topless titillation than opulent glamour. Like its predecessor, The Vampire Lovers, Lust for a Vampire also met disapproval for its daring lesbian scenes. By today's standards, these scenes appear more erotic than lurid. While the film is pretty campy overall, it still maintains some stylish elements and is entertaining--especially the sex scene with the bizarro song Strange Love by singer Tracy (I wonder if Depeche Mode liked this movie). You can tell Hammer was completely out of their element amongst the bodacious boobies because all the sexy stuff is very awkward and forced. Yutte's performance is less bloodthirsty seductress and more innocent vampire puppet--enticing the boys and girls with her sex kitten appeal. Even though she faced tough criticism for her role and actiing abilities, Yutte bravely responded to the press with maturity. She quit the biz soon after Lust for a Vampire but her charm, good looks and sincerity have earned her a place in Hammer's hall of fame.
You can read more about Yutte and other Hammer hotties in Titan Books' Hammer Glamour.

Silver bars offer the lowest possible premiums making them the best bet for investors simply looking for the most silver for their money. Bars cost less for mints and refiners to produce than smaller fabricated rounds and coins. That means savings for investors who want to stack them.
Bars also shine when it comes to storage. Because they can easily be stacked on top of one another, the space requirement is reduced. If room in your safe is limited, bars may be the way to go.
Silver bars range in size from 1-oz all the way up to 1,000-oz. The 10-oz and 100-oz bars are perhaps the best options as those sizes provide the best overall values.
Ten ounce bars are available from a handful of manufacturers. The bars come individually sealed in plastic, generally in sheets of five or ten which can be separated as needed. We generally do not recommend paying a higher premium for a bar produced by any specific "brand name" producer. We also do not recommend paying extra for bars with a serial #. It just isn't going to matter much to dealers when it is time to re-sell so the extra premium may be wasted. As long as the bar is in good marketable condition, carries a stamp with its weight and purity, and is made by a recognized producer, little else matters.
Those purchasing 100 oz bars will generally save 10 to 20 cents per ounce (or more) versus 1 oz silver rounds and bars. When it comes to the 100 oz size, the "mint mark" carries a little more importance. Many dealers, including Money Metals Exchange, will slightly discount bars that are not produced by IRA-approved manufacturers since many 100 oz bars are sold to self-directed IRA account holders. An IRA-approved bar is one that is either made by one of the "big three" – Johnson Matthey, Engelhard, or Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) – or an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer such as Republic Metals or Ohio Precious Metals (OPM)/NTR.
Most investors should steer clear of buying 1000 ounce exchange sized bars. For one, these bars are incredibly cumbersome to handle. They are expensive and difficult to ship. And selling 1,000-oz bars requires dealers automatically to issue a 1099B on the seller (unless the seller exchanges it into another form of silver instead of taking cash).
Perhaps most importantly, sellers of these 70+ pound bars will typically find dealers significantly discounting the buy-back price. Many small dealers avoid them altogether as they will not be able to readily re-sell bars that size. And larger dealers with quality control programs will buy these large bars but send any that come from outside the COMEX chain of custody to be melted and assayed. The purchase price will be discounted accordingly. Many of the exchange sized bars we buy come from investors who are unhappy with holding them and looking to swap them for smaller, more convenient and more liquid forms of silver.
Buy your silver bars with confidence from Money Metals Exchange. We specialize in the most cost-effective, most liquid bars produced by some of the largest and well regarded mints and refiners in the US. You can lock pricing and purchase online anytime. Or give us a call at 1-800-800-1865. We will be happy to answer your questions or take your order by phone.
Silver Bar Sizes
Money Metals Exchange features silver bars from the most prominent mints and refiners in the North America. We recommend investors buying bars choose from among the sizes below and avoid "off-weight" sizes. They are likely to be discounted or harder to sell later on.
1 Ounce Silver Bars
Johnson Matthey is the brand we carry. Percival Norton Johnson launched his London gold assay business in 1817. After roughly 200 years, his firm is ensconced as one of the most familiar names in precious metals. "JM" bars have a reputation for quality and trust.
5 Ounce Silver Bars
The storied Sunshine Mint in Idaho's Silver Valley produces the 5 ounce bars in our lineup. The bars are beautifully crafted and designed to fill a gap in bar roster; lower premium than the 1 ounce bars while still being smaller than the 10 ounce alternative.
10 Ounce Silver Bars
The premium savings that bars offer compared to silver rounds begin with the 10 ounce size. Investors can expect to save $.05 - $.10 per ounce versus rounds, and significantly more versus government issue bullion coins such as the American Eagle or Maple Leaf. Money Metals Exchange carries bars from the most prominent and best regarded refiners in the US including Republic Metals, Ohio Precious Metals, NTR and Sunshine Mint.
Kilo (32.151 Oz) Silver Bars
Money Metals Exchange just added kilo-sized bars to our lineup as a "middle ground" option between 10 Oz and 100 Oz sizes. These bars typeically offer some savings versus smaller bars while remaining small enough to easily handle and stack. Republic Metals is the current provider of our bars in this handy size.
100 Ounce Silver Bars
100 Ounce Silver Bars offer the absolute lowest silver premiums in our product lineup. They are the best way to buy silver as close as possible to the spot market price, while preserving portability and ease of resale or liquidity. We offer fine silver bars from Johnson Matthey, the Royal Canadian Mint, Republic Metals, and Ohio Precious Metals. Every bar is marked with the manufacturer along with its weight and purity and always fully guaranteed.

Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate Ken Block (R) is as pleased as punch that newly-appointed House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello has appointed two long-time critics of the 38 Studios loan to leadership positions in the House Oversight Committee.
"They both have records of standing up to the political establishment and fighting against the back room corruption of the 38 Studios deal," Block said of Reps. Karen MacBeth, the new chairwoman, and Spencer Dickinson, the new vice-chairman.
Block said that Dickinson "has also proven himself as an independent voice who will stand up for his constituents against the Democratic political establishment," while his opponents in the race for governor made campaign contributions to former House Speaker Gordon D. Fox. Fox recently stepped down as speaker after the FBI raided his home last week.
This is not the first time Block has run for the highest office in the state; he ran in 2010 and came in at a distant fourth as the Moderate Party candidate.

IDF chief of staff tells reporters in Washington that Israel prefers to find diplomatic solution for Iranian nuclear threat, but must prepare for all scenarios. 'My duty is to ready the army for war, to fight and to win,' he says during reception
Yitzhak Benhorin
Published: 07.24.08, 07:52 / Israel News
Yitzhak Benhorin
"This is the preferable way, in terms of international activity as well. This is the Israeli preference and the American preference. In addition, everyone understands, both the Americans and certainly us, that we must prepare for all options."
During his meetings in the US, Ashkenazi discussed all the issues on Israel's agenda – the problems in the West Bank and Gaza, Lebanon,
and of course, the Iranian threat.
Ashkenazi said the goal of his trip was "to understand the American outlook on the issues and problems in the Middle East. This is an excellent opportunity to make it clear to them how we see things. In this sense we see things eye to eye. We have no disagreements. The cooperation is very good."
One of the visit's main objectives is to expand the cooperation between the IDF and the American army. The chief of staff seemed enthusiastic over what he discovered in Washington.
"The Americans today are fighting wars which are similar to our war on terror. It is often surprising to see how similar these things are. Even the types of explosive devices are very similar to those we deal with in Gaza and opposite Hizbullah."
"It is crucial that we stop the Iranian aggression," Ashkenazi said during his reception, noting that it was rare to see a democratic country facing so many threats.
"We must set priorities, but we cannot ignore any of the many threats," he said. "These are complex threats which entail international intervention."
The IDF chief concluded by saying, "My duty is to ready the army for war, to fight and to win."

Four core processors followed hot on the heels of the dual core, and now there are even three core models. For the uninitiated, this begs the question, how are the CPU units placed physically. The explanation: In principle, it is a Barcelona core with just three cores activated. The AMD 780G chip set is very popular for use in cheaper PCs, multimedia computers or HTPCs (Home Theater PC) because it is lower in price than the Intel CPUs, as well as being lower on power consumption and functions. This platform now finally has a cheaper Phenom processor with more performance as well as the Athlon 64 X2.
Many users wishing to put together a lower cost PC or to upgrade used the Athlon 64 X2 in the past. Extremely low prices for the fastest 6400+ model gave the Athlon 64 X2 an unbeatable cost/performance advantage over Intel's CPUs. Anyone not satisfied with performance, was able to use a quad core processor, but the added costs of these were too high for many users.
Now AMD has introduced the first three core desktops CPUs, the Phenom X3 8750, 8650 and 8450. With the X3s, the company has undercut the price for quad core models significantly. And the costs compared to the dual core models are attractively low.
Only very few applications are able to really make good use of the performance capabilities of a quad core processor which means that, generally speaking, the performance benefits are definitely not doubled up. The vast majority of programs only support two processors cores and, when this is the case, the computer is simply overworked by the application. If additional performance is required by the operating system, for the numerous applications running in the background such as Messenger, audio chat, video output on a second monitor or SHH encrypted downloads, the dual core application (for example, a 3D game) loses performance and runs at a slower rate. The third core is ideal for handling these additional tasks. It reduces the load on the other two cores and allows the dual core application to continue operating without disruption.
The Phenom X3 with the three processor cores makes the system capable of multi-tasking, but is considerably cheaper than a quad core CPU from AMD or Intel. AMD, in conjunction with the Phenom X3, is now in a position to offer a considerably cheaper PC system with more functions than Intel.

And Page 12 is certainly borked - you guys were looking at the results wrong!
And you should have emphasized the X3s encoding-power-for-cheap more. Yeah, it's good for office and media/HD, but you can happily stick a G2 4000+ into a 780G board for much the same effect at a much lower cost, owing to the chipset's unholy knack for HD-crunching

"Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come."
-Robert H. Schuller
It's been a tough week. The entire team at hike has been working day and night to ensure that we bring the best in messaging to the world.
Over the last week, we unearthed what we believed to be a critical issue on our back-end. We noticed a reconnection issue with the app. Once you load the app from a sleep state, the time taken to load message would go up severely at times. We've seen delays of up to 30 seconds! We were certain it was a server side issue, but we quickly realised we were wrong and it is indeed an issue with the iOS app.
We have had to a take a very, very hard decision and it really saddens us to tell you that we won't be going live in Germany tomorrow.
Its clear that Germany is miles ahead in the #gethike leaderboard and we were extremely enthusiastic to exclusively launch hike in Germany tomorrow! As much as we would want hike to be available, we're sad to say that won't happen tomorrow.
User Experience is of the utmost importance to us and we hope you'll understand that we're trying our best to get you a beautiful, super fast messaging app that is reliable and secure.
We're extremely bummed out. We've just submitted an update with a critical fix (see above). The app will be in review and unfortunately that takes about 8-10 business days to get back on the App Store. Given hike's social nature, we feel its best that the Android app is launched in sync with the iOS app as well.
We're a small team and we're humbled by the fantastic response – #gethike. It's phenomenal and we really didn't expect it.
As a result, we are also holding off launching in countries other than the 14 we have already announced until the update is available on the App Store. I'm sure you have a lot questions and I'd love to hear from you personally at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our team will also be available in full swing to answer any queries you may have at:
- Twitter: @hikeapp
- FB: fb.com/hikeapp
We realise we built up expectations and we feel absolutely terrible to put you through this. We will do our best to bring the apps out to you at the earliest.
Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted.
– Kavin Bharti Mittal (Creator @hikeapp)

This is the oddest error I've ever encountered as it makes no sense to. I'm getting an IList from my controller. I can even write a foreach loop and append TicketId to a stringbuilder and display my results.
I can put in break points and see that I have the expected results returned....as EXPECTED! All values in place (no-misspellings as I've even copy & pasted)
But if I try to bind it to a GridView or repeater I get the error: The data source for GridView with id 'gv' did not have any properties or attributes from which to generate columns
example - in this code If I comment out the DataBinding to the gridview gv - I get the results as of the TicketId's as epxected:
LeadController controller = new LeadController();
var leads = controller.SearchProducts(DateTime.Now.AddDays(-50),
DateTime.Now, string.Empty, string.Empty);
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (LeadDto lead in (leads))
sb.Append(string.Format("{0} -----", lead.TicketId));
lblTop.Text = sb.ToString();
gv.DataSource = leads;
But if the DataBinding isn't commented - the whole page errors with the above error. Here's my ascx
<asp:TextBox ID="lblTop" runat="server" /><asp:GridView ID="gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" ></asp:GridView>
If I change my gridview as so:
<asp:GridView ID="gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" >
<asp:TemplateField >
<%# Eval("TicketId") %>
I get an error that says: DataBinding: 'DataTransferObjects.LeadDto' does not contain a property with the name 'TicketId'.
But I can see it DOES after setting DataSource and prior to DataBinding...
I've tried shutting down VS2008 & even restarted my PC just in case it was a magic fairy bug....
Please, any suggestions?

So less than a month after I learned the true meaning of N+1, I took the plunge. Been riding an LHT and loving it for two years. But had a hankering for the occasional lighter, faster ride. The fever bit hard this week. I couldn't resist and added this to the stable. Finally today SC Nebraska will take a break from winter and we should see 60+ degrees. Wonder what I'll be doing?

When a company finally gets its operational ducks in a row, the performance can be impressive. Couple that with a rising tide of improving underlying conditions, and the performance can be exceptional. That's the basic thesis on Home Depot (NYSE:HD) these days, as operational improvements started years ago are really bearing fruit and the company is starting to see the positive impact of improving housing markets.
Discount Brokers Comparison: Your one-stop shop for finding the perfect broker for your investments.
Another Solid Quarter
Revenue rose more than 7% this quarter, leading to another beat relative to sell-side expectations (2% in this case). Comps were up 4.3% overall, with U.S. comps up nearly 5%. With comp growth in line with expectation, the revenue beat was largely a product of the calendar shift relative to last year. Within the overall revenue growth figure, the average ticket was up about 5%, while transactions were up half that amount.
Home Depot also once again posted solid margin improvements. Gross margin improved about 20 basis points from the year-ago level, which was mostly consistent with investor expectations. Operating income was strong, though, climbing 22% as operating margin expanded by 130bp and exceeded expectations.
SEE: Understanding The Income Statement
Working Well, Front To Back
That Home Depot is seeing good comp growth is not entirely surprising. If you looked at the performance of companies that supply Home Depot – a list that includes Masco (NYSE:MAS), Electrolux (Nasdaq:ELUXY), Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE:SWK), Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:SHW), Akzo Nobel (Nasdaq:AKZOY), and USG (NYSE:USG) – it looks like revenue in the first quarter was up around 2% to 3.5% for the most part.
But this isn't just about Home Depot riding a recovery in the demand for building supplies, tools, housing fixtures, and the like. It seems as though Home Depot is gaining share, both in the core home improvement category and in appliance sales (even with good recent results at Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) in appliances).
It also looks like Home Depot is coupling improvements in the front end of the store with the back end of the store. What I mean is that Home Depot has spent more than a little effort in recent years on improving its supply chain economics and internal cost efficiencies. That's allowing the company to improve margins without having to fight self-destructive pricing battles, and it also looks like it's doing no harm to the company's in-stock position or merchandise assortment.
The Bottom Line
I've been a step or two behind Home Depot for some time now, as I've underestimated both Wall Street's desire to own housing recovery stocks and Home Depot management's ability to drive ever-better margin improvements. Margin leverage is an underappreciated driver of stocks, and in some cases is one of the most significant factors in determining which stocks outperform over time. Even though Home Depot already sports very good operating margins and returns on capital for a big-box retailer, recent performance is making me reconsider what's possible and sustainable on a long-term basis.
SEE: 5 Must-Have Metrics For Value Investors
To that end, I still believe that Home Depot will grow its revenue at a long-term rate of around 4%. On the cash flow side, though, I'm willing to go up to the 6% to 7% range given those margin improvements. That's still not enough to produce an attractive fair value (around $67 per share), and other metrics like EV/EBITDA, PEG, and EV/revenue do have Home Depot shares looking pricey today. All the same, I wouldn't get off a fast horse in mid-gallop – if I had already seen the nearly 60% jump in Home Depot shares since last year I might consider some protective stops for at least part of my position, but I wouldn't be in a rush to sell unless/until the comp growth and margin improvement starts to peter out.
At the time of writing, Stephen D. Simpson did not own any shares in any company mentioned in this article.

Professor Yabe of Tokyo Tech is heading the development of a process that combines magnesium and water to produce high energy steam and hydrogen, which is burned to produce additional high energy steam to power an engine with no harmful emissions. The magnesium oxide by-product is reduced back to magnesium through a solar powered laser process to be reused
The brain child of Professor Takashi Yabe of Tokyo Institute of Technology, now also under development by Mitsubishi Corporation, the Magnesium Energy Cycle uses water and the common metallic element Magnesium to create pollution-free power.
According to a Wikipedia entry, the chemical reaction between magnesium (in a powder form) and water at a room temperature produces high energy steam and hydrogen. The hydrogen is burned at the same time to produce additional high energy steam. These two steam sources power the engine. The energy cycle produces no carbon dioxide or other harmful emissions. The only by-products of this reaction are water and magnesium oxide. The magnesium (a common metallic element) is separated from the oxide through a solar powered laser process (whose development is already well advanced) and is reused over and over again as fuel.
Despite the prototype's small dimensions (approx. 5 cm in diameter and 13.5 cm in height), the engine can generate a heat output of several tens of kW from which power is obtained. The engine is aimed to be used in cogeneration, automobiles, ships and many other areas. Further research is planned with the aim of commercialization in the next three years.

Hi Sterling,
I noticed that the articles on PESWiki concerning the MAGIC engine and related technologies being developed by Takashi Yabe in Tokyo are dated from 2006, and they suggest that commercial availability would be three years from that date, ie - now. However, my internet searches couldn't locate any more recent information or announcements, so I contacted Mr Takashi Yabe himself directly to ask. He very kindly explained the situation as follows:
- At present (November 2009), the project currently has no working relationship with Mitsubishi, but they have been working with other Japanese companies. He informed me that the most information / announcements concerning ongoing developments is not available in English, except for that published in scientific journals. He said the project is currently at the business stage and we (the west) should hear of progress in several media outlets within the coming year. They are already selling a desalination plant based on the technology, and are able to cut steel by sunlight-powered laser. He also mentioned that Toyota Motor Cars announced in July 2008 that the "ultimate electric car will run with a metal fuel battery, which is 7 times more effective than a Lithium-ion battery".
He also pointed me to a link on the Time Magazine website concerning his technology, he has been named 2009 "Hero of the Environment" in the Scientists & Innovators category: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,1924149,00.html
Takashi Yabe has also written a book entitled "Magnesium Civilisation", which is currently being released and will be available in Japanese from December 16th 2009. It is hoped it will be translated into English in the near future.
I asked if I could send this information to you for publication on PESWiki, and he agreed, so please feel free to add this information to the site.
"MAGIC " (MAGnesium Injection Cycle) engine
Quoting from http://www.mitsubishi.com/mpac/e/monitor/back/0608/green.html, dated Aug/Sept 2006
Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have recently made a significant announcement—the completion of a first prototype CO2-free engine called the Magnesium Injection Cycle (MAGIC) engine. Although still at the experimental stage, this joint project, initiated in 2005, has developed a prototype that has successfully worked without the need for fossil fuels.
Power is generated by the chemical reaction between magnesium and water, which produces high-power steam and hydrogen. The hydrogen is burned at the same time to produce more high-power steam, and the two steam sources power the engine. The new technology produces no carbon dioxide or other harmful emissions and the only by-products from this reaction are water and magnesium oxide.
The magnesium is separated from the oxide through a solar-powered laser process and is reused over and over again as fuel. This clean energy cycle, which is supported by solar power, has the potential to steer society away from its dependence on fossil fuels, and could bring about a paradigm shift in the way future energy needs are met.
The new MAGIC technology is very versatile, and has potential for use in cogeneration, automobiles, ships and many other areas. MC and the Tokyo Tech team believes it will take another three years of further research and experimentation before it is launched for commercial use.
Magnesium, a light, shiny metal, is the ninth-most common element in the universe, and makes up 2 percent of the earth's crust and is the third-most common element dissolved in seawater. Professor Yabe says: "Magnesium can save the world!"

One Minute Review: Much Ado About Nothing
This is the One Minute Review of Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing. It's Shakespeare, so at least you know the script is good. But a small film, shot in black and white, in some dude's house? Seriously? Why would anyone see a movie about nothing?

The accordion is a handheld, bellows-driven instrument played by expanding and compressing the bellows to generate airflow across the reeds. It is made with a keyboard that determines which reed should receive the airflow to produce different tones. The modern accordion is made up of two parts, each rectangular in shape and separated by a bellows. Each part of the body has a keyboard with buttons, levers, or piano-style keys. To produce sound, the keys are pressed perpendicular to the motion of the bellows and towards the performer.

I need some help with a zoom pedal!
So i recently purchased a Zoom G1XNext because i'm pretty dirt poor and it looked like a really good deal ($70 on amazon [forbidden link]. The brand had been suggested to me by a mentor/friend and he said he had owned a G1XN at one point and it was pretty good for him (He's since upgraded to a Zoom G3).
i got the pedal in once and hooked it up in my grandma's basement where all of my drums and other instruments usually are and as soon as i flipped on my amp there was this terrible static noise. I checked the cables, checked my guitar and even tried it on a different amp and battery power and i was still getting the same problem. I got a replacement and had the same problem. So i took it over to my friend's who currently makes his living off of fixing and customizing guitars and we hooked it all up in his apartment.
We first hooked it into his amp using my chords and it worked fine. We then tested it on my amp and once again it worked fine, in fact it had the best sound out of any muti-effect processor i'd ever used especially for the price i bought it for. So tonight i decided i'd set it up in my bedroom. I live in a one story house that's made of metal (yes metal, it's called a lustron home look it up). I put in headphones because it was late and when i had plugged in my guitar and switched everything on there was a loud static noise again.
So my question is, could it be that sensitive to electric current or any other environmental factors? Is there any way to get the noise to go away? i mean if i'm playing a gig somewhere i can't really choose what kind of environment i'm playing in. does anyone have any ideas of what could be going on and how i could fix the problem?
Thanks a ton in advanced

Six journalists arrested in new phone hacking probe
10:39 13 February 2013
Six former News of the World journalists have been arrested in connection with a new police investigation into alleged phone hacking.
The arrests were made as part of a new line of inquiry that is separate from allegations under Operation Weeting, the existing Scotland Yard investigation into phone hacking.
Two men aged 45 and 46 were held in Wandsworth, and a 39-year-old man was arrested in Greenwich.
The three women arrested were a 39-year-old who was detained in Cheshire, a 33-year-old in Islington, and a 40-year-old in Lambeth. They are currently in custody.
The arrests are in relation to alleged offences which took place around 2005 and 2006.
Detectives plan to speak to people they believe have been victims of the suspected phone hacking.
An internal message has been sent to News International employees confirming that two of those arrested are journalists currently working for The Sun.
The pair has been provided with lawyers.

I want to write a Maven plugin in Groovy, but under Eclipse (Galileo).
- I've downloaded and installed Groovy-Eclipse plugin
- I've created my very simple POM file (included below).
- I've created a simple Echo mojo and place it under "/src/main/groovy/com/acme/maven/plugins/foo".
- I performed "Import Existing Maven Project" in Eclipse (using M2Eclipse plugin).
The problem is that I don't see "src/main/groovy" as a source folder, which makes it hard to develop: - I have to create the package directory structure (com/acme/maven/plugins/foo) manually - Refactoring probably won't work easily - Incremental probably won't work.
How do you guys develop your Maven plugins using Groovy in Eclipse?

Shirley Fan's Box Office Brownies and Happy Hours
After kindly answering our questions on Friday, Shirley Fan shared two delightfully mail-able recipes from "The Flying Brownie" (Goodreads | Amazon) with us. BRB, cooking down an India Pale Ale and eating "1/4 cup candy-coated peanut butter candy pieces" right out of the bag to eliminate the middle-man.
Inspired by bar snacks and drinks, these sweet and salty bites are the perfect treat to send to anyone who likes to kick back with a cold one after work. Try a variety of beers to see which ones you like best, since they can impart varying levels of bitterness or richness to the caramel. These caramels keep for 1 month.
Makes 64 caramels
2 cups mini pretzels (about 40 pretzels)
3/4 cup Beer Nuts or lightly salted peanuts
1 (12-ounce) bottle brown ale, India pale ale, or stout
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving extra for overhang. Scatter the pretzels and nuts over the bottom of the pan; set aside.
2. Pour the beer into a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan and let it sit until flat, about 30 minutes.
3. Bring the beer to a boil over medium-high heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the beer reduction, cream, sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 245°F, 10 to 12 minutes. Quickly pour the caramel into the prepared pan and allow the mixture to cool completely, about 2 hours.
While these brownies don't include buttered popcorn, movie buffs and candy lovers will appreciate this treat that's made with the boxed candy found at movie theater concessions. Pack them up in a food-safe tin and send them with a pair of movie passes or some DVDs of past Oscar winners. They will keep for 5 days.
Makes 16 brownies
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup chocolate-covered raisins
1/4 cup chocolate-covered peanuts
1/4 cup nonpareil-coated chocolates
1/4 cup candy-coated peanut butter candy pieces
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan or line with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and melt the ingredients together, stirring occasionally. Remove the bowl from the heat. Add the sugar and salt and mix to combine; set aside to begin cooling. While the mixture is still slightly warm, add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each one to incorporate fully, and then add the vanilla. Fold in the flour and cocoa, and mix until there are no streaks.
3. Fold half of the candy into the brownie batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and then scatter the remaining candy on top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out mostly clean (some crumbs are okay), about 30 minutes.
4. Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing into 16 squares. Wrap the bars individually with waxed or parchment paper or plastic wrap, seal with tape, and pack in a zipper-top plastic bag or other container. Alternatively, layer unwrapped bars in an airtight container, separating the layers with waxed or parchment paper.

Existing software systems are becoming larger and more complex without becoming safer. Many separate theorem-proving, model-checking, and program analysis techniques tackle the problem of verifying that a program meets a specification. Each of these three methods alone can only address certain subsets of this larger problem. Although a few projects have attempted to combine these three techniques, much unifying work remains to be done. In addition, such techniques often rely on simplifying assumptions (e.g., about pointer arithmetic or type safety) that may not hold in practice, especially for code written in lower-level languages. While previous approaches concentrated on stand-alone programs with a single entry point, my focus is on reactive systems. Such systems exist in various states over time (e.g., device drivers, web server modules, database extensions) and respond to requests. In such systems both the interfaces between modules and the internal behavior of modules are important. Finally, such techniques can be extended to produce more detailed and useful reports than the traditional error trace.
I propose a two-phase approach for verifying that such a system meets a specification. In the first phase the system is made type- and memory-safe by a combination of static analyses and run-time checks. In essence, this ensures that the system adheres to a universal specification of memory safety and paves the way for more complicated analyses that assume memory-safe programs. Existing techniques usually generate false positives or false negatives in the presence of legacy code that violates such assumptions.
In the second phase the transformed system can be checked against a more detailed specification. This checking process should verify local properties, the behavior of the system over time, and the correct use of interfaces. The verification will use techniques from program analysis, model checking, and theorem proving with an emphasis on automation. When the specification permits it, an error report should contain not just a path demonstrating the error but also detailed suggestions on how to deal with the problem in the original source. Few existing techniques address either what to do when a bug is found or how to model systems that exist over time. If the system does adhere to the specification, I propose to emit a machine-checkable proof of the fact.

The University of West Georgia's debate team captured the varsity championship and finished as the runner-up in the novice division during the recent Vanderbilt Invitational Tournament at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
The Wolves' Tyler Boykin and Vanova Robles won the varsity championship, compiling an 8-1 record.
Their only loss was to Wake Forest in the preliminary round. They avenged that loss in the final round by defeating Wake Forest. Boykin, a sophomore from Ft. Lauderdale, was recognized as the 7th place individual speaker. Roble, a freshman, is also from Ft. Lauderdale.
The debate topic for the competition season is the whether or not the United States should increase the number of visas in various categories, including employment-based and family-based visas, plus those issued to victims of human trafficking.
In the Novice Division the team of Ted Gkoo, a second-year Advanced Academy of Georgia student, and Andy McKown, a West Georgia senior from Carrollton, finished as the runner-up.
This was only the second time that Gkoo and McKown competed and it was the first time they did so as a team. Their overall record as a team was 6-2. The team reached the championship round by defeating the University of Miami in the semifinals. But it lost a decision in finals to Samford.
McKown was recognized as the 5th place individual speaker. Gkoo was the 4th place speaker.
Other West Georgia debaters competing at Vanderbilt included: Adam Grellinger, junior from Alpharetta, who was recognized as the 4th place speaker in varsity; Natasha Godwin, a junior from Atlanta; Osayame Gaius-Obasecki, sophomore from Miami, FL; and Darcey McCampbell, a junior from Minnesota.
Schools represented at the Vanderbilt tournament, which was held Oct. 15-17, included: Appalachian State; Capital University; Georgia State University; University of Georgia; University of Kentucky; Liberty University; University of Louisiana-Lafayette; University of Louisville; University of Miami, Fl; Missouri State University; Samford University; University of South Florida; Vanderbilt; and Wake Forest University.
Next up for the West Georgia Debate Wolves is the Wake Forest/Appalachian State tournaments held November 19-22 in Winston-Salem.

Giving Hoppin' John An Indian Twist, Just For Luck
Black-eyed peas and rice are thought to bring good luck when eaten on New Year's Day, typically converging in a dish called Hoppin' John. Those same two ingredients are also staples of Indian cooking.
"To me, the flavors of black-eyed peas are really quite amazing when combined with the right ingredients," says Raghavan Iyer, author of 660 Curries and Indian Cooking Unfolded. For example, he offers his recipe for lobhia, a spicy, black-eyed pea curry.
There's no need to stagger out of the house in search of elusive ingredients, however; Canned black-eyed peas work just fine, and curry leaves can be found at many grocery stores. "But if you don't have it, leave it out," Iyer says.
The dish may not have curative powers, but Iyer says at least it will chase away the New Year's Eve party blues.
Bina's Black-Eyed Peas With Onion-Coconut Sauce
This recipe came to Raghavan Iyer from Bina Toniyat of Bangalore, India. Onions — one batch stewed with black-eyed peas, the other pureed with fresh coconut — sweeten the curry, made extra-creamy by the slow breakdown of the black-eyed peas. Don't worry about the number of chilis — the coconut and peas tend to absorb some of the peppers' heat.
1 cup black-eyed peas, dried
2 small red onions (1 cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced, 1 coarsely chopped)
4 fresh green Thai, cayenne or serrano chilis, with stems removed but seeds remaining (2 cut in half lengthwise, 2 coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup shredded fresh coconut (or 1/4 cup shredded, dried unsweetened coconut, covered with 1/4 cup boiling water, set aside for about 15 minutes, and then drained)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black or yellow mustard seeds
12 medium or large fresh curry leaves
Makes 4 cups.
Place the black-eyed peas in a pressure cooker. Fill the cooker halfway with water and rinse the peas by rubbing them between your fingertips. The water may appear slightly dirty. Drain this water. Repeat three or four times, until the water remains relatively clear. Drain.
Add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat. Skim off and discard any foam that rises to the surface. Stir in the sliced onion and the 2 halved chilis. Seal the cooker shut and allow the pressure to build up. When the cooker reaches full pressure, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes. Then, remove the cooker from the heat and allow the pressure to subside naturally (about 15 minutes) before opening the lid.
Meanwhile, pour 1/2 cup water into a blender jar, and add the chopped onion and the chopped chilis. Add the coconut, salt, cumin seeds, and turmeric. Puree, scraping the inside of the jar as needed, to make a slightly gritty, green-speckled paste. Set it aside until the black-eyed peas are done.
Stir the coconut paste into the cooked black-eyed peas and simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors mingle, 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds, cover the skillet, and cook until the seeds have stopped popping (akin to popcorn), about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat and throw in the curry leaves — carefully, as they will spatter upon contact. Pour this aromatic oil mixture into the curry, and stir. Serve.
When you plan your menu forward New Year's Day, I hope you will include black-eyed peas. Black-eyed peas mixed with rice are the basis of a traditional dish called Hoppin' John, thought to bring good luck and prosperity in the new year.
Now we love Hoppin' John, but since we really are looking for a restart in 2014, we thought about tweaking that tradition. So we called Raghavan Iyer, who writes about and cooks Indian food.
Raghavan Iyer, welcome to our program.
RAGHAVAN IYER: Oh Linda, what a pleasure to be with you.
WERTHEIMER: I understand that black-eyed peas and of course, rice, are staples of Indian cooking.
IYER: You find black-eyes peas used in both regions of India. I've seen it in the north and I've seen it in the south as well. And to me, the flavors of black-eyed peas are really quite amazing when combined with the right ingredients.
WERTHEIMER: In your cookbook - the one which has the amazing titled "660 Curries" - you have, what, I think about six recipes for black-eyed peas.
IYER: I do at least. And there is one that really tends to be a favorite of mine, and the flavors are quite reflective from the southern region of India. And these are coconut smothered black-eyed peas.
WERTHEIMER: Which is something, I think my Southern mother would never have contemplated for a moment.
IYER: Well, it just goes to show, you know, our Southern brothers are so different.
IYER: To me, the flavors really jump out and especially when you combine it with ingredients like coconut and chilies and cumin seeds, I think you have some amazing flavors. And to me, that's the hallmark of Indian cooking, is how you could extract a multitude of flavors by using really wanted to ingredients and you can end up with something that really sings in your mouth.
WERTHEIMER: Now, we don't want anybody staggering out on the morning after New Year's Eve searching for some elusive ingredient. So is there something here that we need to worry about? I'm looking down the list and I see curry leaves.
IYER: The fresh curry leaves. Yeah. I've actually seen fresh curry leaves at even some of the more, you know, upscale mainstream grocery stores. Of course, any Indian store will carry it. But the beauty of those is if you don't have it, just leave it out. And I think, you know, the rest of it is very easily available, you know, especially when you have things like coconut and chilies and turmeric, and you puree all of that and that flavors the black-eyed peas. And what I end up doing is to take a little bit of oil and in the oil I pop mustard seeds in hot oil. And by popping those mustard seeds, you get such a sweet nutty flavor from it. And you pour all of that into the pot with the black-eyed peas and the coconut and just let it simmer for about maybe five or 10 minutes. And the flavors are really incredible, especially when you serve it with a bowl of rice.
WERTHEIMER: Can we use canned black-eyed peas just to make things easy?
IYER: Yeah. And I have no problem using canned black-eyed peas. And what I do recommend with canned black-eyed peas is to drain the black-eyed peas and then rinse it so that I get rid of some of the brine and you end up with a much better quality of black-eyed peas, and actively works really quite well.
WERTHEIMER: Now I noticed that this has four fresh green Thai, cayenne or serrano chilies. I'm wondering is this dish going to have curative powers, do you think, if people have been put in a...
IYER: It'll chase all your New Year's Eve party blues away. Hot is such a personal taste element. And oftentimes and, you know, especially when you're combining that in the context of black-eyed peas and coconut, those two ingredients are really quite great in absorbing the heat from those chilies. And I would say if four is a lot, you know, go with maybe two or three. But at least go with half the amount because then you get a whist up the heat - which I think is so crucial in providing that sense of balance. I just can imagine after eating that that you will have a year full of wealth.
WERTHEIMER: Raghavan Iyer, thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.
IYER: Oh, Linda, it's my pleasure. Thanks for having me on.
WERTHEIMER: Raghavan Iyer's most recent book is called "Indian Cooking Unfolded." The recipe we talked about today can be found on npr.org. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
