I love zucchini. I eat it year round. It's my absolutely favorite weeknight vegetable since it's so easy to prepare. Just slice them up and put them in some boiling water with a pinch of salt. I could eat it every night. And I actually make zucchini bread because I really like it not just because someone had a bumper crop of zucchini.
Zucchini bread was one of the first things I ever baked on my own. When I was 15 my best friend Nora gave me a recipe for zucchini bread and she said it was easy and delicious. I thought it was strange to have zucchini in a dessert, but I tried it and she was right about it being delicious. All through my high school years I made zucchini bread over and over again. I remember sitting at the dining room table grating the zucchini by hand with my mom's old box grater. Even to this day I grate zucchini by hand. I know it's faster to use a food processor, but I like doing this particular task by hand.
But whether you love zucchini like me or just tolerate it, when zucchini is combined with chocolate it can't be bad. When I saw this chocolate zucchini cake recipe on the King Arthur Flour website I just had to make it. It definitely uses more chocolate than zucchini. I think the zucchini is more for moisture and texture than flavor. But every once in a while you'll encounter a green fleck which I find rather pretty. Regardless of the reason, it's a good way to add more vegetables to your diet.
I am giving away the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Bakingcookbook. (The cookbook has a whole wheat flour version of this chocolate zucchini cake too.) Please leave a comment on this post before 11:59pm PST on November 12, 2009 and be sure to mention your favorite vegetable. I will select one comment at random. I plan to contact the winner by email so please make sure you have a valid email address associated with your user ID. Unfortunately I can only ship to U.S. addresses. My sincerest apologizes to my international readers.
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
(adapted from King Arthur Flour)
4 ounces (1 stick / 8 tbsp) unsalted butter, at room temp
1/2 cup canola oil
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream or whole milk yogurt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa*
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate chips, for glaze
Coarse sugar for decorating (optional)
Preheat oven to 325F. Lightly butter and flour a 9" x 13" baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs.
Stir in the sour cream or yogurt alternately with the flour. Then add the cocoa and espresso powder, mixing until smooth. Finally, fold in the zucchini and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake cake at 325F for 35-40 minutes, or until the top springs back lightly when touched, and it seems set. Take the cake out of the oven, sprinkle it evenly with the 1 cup chocolate chips, and return it to the oven for 5 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven, and use an icing spatula or rubber spatula to spread the chocolate chips into a smooth glaze. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (if using). Cool on a rack.
* The recipe on the King Arthur Flour website uses 3/4 cup cocoa, but I like using only 1/2 cup cocoa.

I try to space these postings apart, leaving at least two or three days between them, so as not to wear people out. Last week I started uploading the new audiobook version of Hardcore Zen (see the cover to your left). My plan was for the next posting (i.e. this one) to be all about the audiobook. I invested my own time and cash into this project, so you'd best believe I'm going to be pushing it as hard as I can. All the haters who hate when I advertise anything (cuz that's sooo not Zen, maaaaan), get your hatred ready!
BUT it's taking forever -- at least in these highly speeded up times we live in -- for the thing to "go live" (as we say in the audiobook biz). I screwed up a few things. Plus the audiobook itself is way bigger than an ordinary CD. I made a CD version for my friend Jimi and it took up six discs! I have no plans to press any CDs of the audiobook, by the way. If anyone wants to suggest an economical way to make some CDs, hit me up. Or a cheap way to put it out on a boxed set of 18 record albums for that matter. Otherwise, it'll just be available as a download.
I've even got two commercials for the thing ready to go, and I'm going to shoot a third one on Sunday at the weekly 7 pm zazen thing I host at Akron Shambhala Center (133 Portage Trail Ste 202 Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221).
Alas, I have to keep holding on to the posting in which I tell you the amazing story of how I recorded the audiobook and what I think of Hardcore Zen nine years after it was published.
But I will tell you something else and that is...
That's because I have been doing my taxes today. My annual income for 2011 was not quite as dire as I had feared. Which isn't to say it was really great. But it wasn't so godawful as I expected. When I looked at my yearly book royalty statements of $2,951.08 from New World Library for three books and $4,133.98 from Wisdom Publications for Hardcore Zen I was all like, "Jeez. That's what I earned last year?"
Kids, do not become a writer if you want to get rich. Yes there are a handful of writers who are filthy rich. But most of us are barely getting by.
As most of you know, I do not have a temple or a Zen Center or any other such organization that supports what I do Zen-wise. The so-called "Dogen Sangha" is basically just a name. There are some folks out in California working towards making it more than that by incorporating it as a religious non-profit. But at the moment it's still basically just a name. I think we're established as an entity. But we haven't got the paperwork that makes us a true non-profit that can accept donations yet.
However, what I do have is a little PayPal donation button on this here blog (it's to your left <<<). And I made more in donations last year than I did in book royalties. This is figuring in the donations I received while on tour in Europe and America. But still, the stuff coming in from that little button was not insignificant.
So thank you very much for that. There are several people who send in a little bit each month and that really helps. And sometimes someone sends me a large donation, which is always as nice as it is baffling. Because it's never someone I know and it's almost always someone from a foreign country that I've never visited.
I don't really like the idea of living on donations. I feel like a person ought to work to earn his keep. Donations seem like charity.
But on the other hand, I don't charge anything for this blog. The ad revenue it generates is negligible. If I were writing a column for a magazine I'd be getting paid out of what readers paid to buy the magazine. So it kind of amounts to the same thing. Only the way I do this, you get to cut out the middle men and send the money directly to the writer. So I figure these aren't really donations in that sense.
In my youth I was always disgusted by television evangelists begging for cash contributions on their shows while surrounded by the most gaudy opulent sets imaginable. You could tell those guys were getting filthy rich by promising rewards in Heaven.
But all religious type people live on donations. Your contributions aren't always going to buy fancy houses and multiple Mercedes Benzes. And there are some people out there who really don't mind supporting some religious dude's five-a-day luxury car habit. I don't get that myself. But I know they're out there.
I feel like honesty is the deciding factor. The Sex Pistols called their reunion tour the Filthy Lucre Tour to specifically emphasize that it was for the money. And yet you could see that they really enjoyed playing those songs again and that their messages were still relevant. So was it really just about the money? It didn't look that way to me.
I've been highly critical of certain filthy rich Zen Masters not because they got rich. God bless 'em for that! I've been critical because they got rich by being dishonest, by promising things they could not possibly deliver. By pretending that what they actually did deliver was something it was clearly not.
Even though I have no compunctions about getting paid for doing work, and even though I consider standing up on a stage talking for a few hours work (it's lots harder than it looks, trust me), I still get all creepy crawly feeling when I hear someone at a Buddhist temple I've spoken at reminding the crowd about the merit of "dana" -- Buddhist generosity. I know that speech is what's going to pay my gas money back home and maybe even buy me a burrito or a veggie burger. But it reminds me too much of the old televangelist con game or of some of the crud I hear spewing from the mouths of crooked phony Zen Masters.
So I remain deeply conflicted about the whole thing. Nishijima Roshi advised his ordained teachers never to try to make a living out of being Buddhist teachers. I've been trying to kind of skirt the issue by making my living as a writer. Yes, what I write about mostly is Buddhism, as well as about being a Buddhist teacher. But still, it's the writing I'm trying to live off of, not the teaching.
I dunno, folks. I just don't know...
But that being said, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
And Crum the Cat thanks you too!

Practical Advantages of Immutable Values
For the past few weeks I've been showing examples of how to program in a hypothetical language that prohibits the value of a variable from changing once the variable has been created. This prohibition, which has roots in how mathematicians describe their art, has wide-ranging implications for how we program in such a language. The examples so far have shown some of those implications:
- There is no practical difference between two variables having the same value and one being a copy of the other.
- Iteration must usually be expressed as (tail) recursion.
- Arrays, by their nature, rely on the ability to change individual elements; so programs tend to use tree- or list-like data structures instead.
These implications are all mixed blessings — a fact that suggests asking why bother at all? That is, why would anyone go to the trouble of designing a language that forbids variables from varying? It is true that a language such as Lisp, which uses lists as its primary data structure, allows us to write some programs that are (at least arguably) easier to explain than their more familiar counterparts. Nevertheless, a language that uses such data structures could still permit elements of those data structures to vary — and, indeed, the versions of Lisp available today all allow mutable data. So what, really, is the advantage or prohibiting mutable data?
One advantage is that prohibiting mutable data eliminates the whole notion of side effects. So, for example, if you write an expression such as
f(x)+g(y), you do not have to worry about whether
f might change a value that
g uses. Such a change might cause the program to work differently on one implementation or another, depending on whether the compiler decides to call
f before
g or vice versa. Prohibit mutable data and this entire problem vanishes.
Similarly, you never need to worry about whether a function might change your data. Many programmers have probably had the experience of writing an expression such as
lookup(data, x), not realizing that this particular
lookup function actually inserts a copy of
x into
data if it doesn't find
x there already.
However, the notion of never changing data gets particularly interesting when one applies it to a filesystem. Optical data-storage devices such as CD and DVD have long been available in versions that allow writing only once, and those devices have some interesting practical uses.
For example, a filesystem that does not support any way of changing data is particularly useful for logging errors, because it ensures that bugs in the logging software can never change a log entry that has already been made. If you think that it's paranoid to try to defend against such bugs, perhaps you should consider security flaws as well as accidental bugs.
For example, people who successfully break into systems often alter log files to remove the evidence of how they managed to penetrate those systems, and sometimes even remove any evidence that they had been there at all in the first place. If a system maintains its log files on a device that is physically incapable of changing data once created, the possibility goes away of events being covered up after they have happened.
Filesystems on write-once devices have other advantages as well. For example, it is always possible, at least in principle, to recover earlier states of such filesystems. After all, if the hardware does not allow any data to be changed, then all of the data associated with earlier states is still there. In practical terms, such a design might mean "infinite undo" everywhere. In other words, if you're writing a paper and decide you don't really like the subject, you can throw it away and start something else instead, secure in the knowledge that if you change your mind, you can still retrieve it later.
Such a state of affairs has profound implications with both engineering and social aspects. As an example of engineering aspects, look again at that
f(x)+g(y) expression. As we've written it, a compiler in an immutable-data language can see that the subexpressions
f(x) and
g(y) are independent, so, for example, it can execute those expressions in parallel. If we wanted to make one of those expressions depend on the other, we would have had to write something such as
g(f(x), y), so that the computation in
g could make use of the result of
f. We would also have had to define both
f and
g so as to make explicit the data that
f passes to
g. In other words, if we are really serious about immutable variables, we have to change many aspects of how we program in order to cater to the relevant restrictions.
As an example of social aspects, think about recovering what you discarded after having second thoughts. That's useful if you started working on a paper, changed your mind, and then changed it back. However, what about that angry email that you started writing late at night and — fortunately — had the foresight not to send? How does a filesystem that never lets you delete anything permanently affect how people use such systems? That's a topic for another day.

Auburn: Soon to be a second-time champion?
That happened. The NCAA took action against the Trojans this summer.
So what now? Though the AP said it won't take any retroactive action, the Football Writers Association of America is open to changing its 2004 champion.
The group's director said yesterday that he's going to talk with several former FWAA presidents and see what they think.
"I'm sensing that people, when they look at the situation, that is a distinct possibility that Auburn thing can come into play," FWAA president Steve Richardson said. "I haven't had anyone convince me why we shouldn't do it."I know what you may be thinking. The FWAA title?
It's at least as good as Parke Davis, Houlgate and the College Football Researchers Association.

5340 Alla Rd, 105 Los Angeles, CA 90066
If you like wine, you are going to like Winc! If you are a busy mom that loves wine, you are going to love Winc.
I often get to the grocery store with kids in hand and think "I would love to get a bottle of wine, but I don't know what to get. I also don't want my kids to melt down or break anything in the wine aisle."
And I skip my wine purchase.
If I get to meander the store on my own, I usually end up with the same old wine that I have had over and over again.
But Winc has a great solution!
With a simple 6 question quiz called the "Palate Profile", you are paired with four wines. The wines are shipped to your house or a pick up spot (like a Fed Ex store). Winc gives you the heads up of what you are going to receive too!
I was excited to get 2 Reds and 2 Whites (which are stored in your Order History). I received a 2015 Rosa Obscura Red Blend, a 2016 Passarola Red Blend, a 2016 Funk Zone White Blend and a 2016 Diviner Sauvignon Blanc. My favorite wine is definitely the Sauvignon Blanc, and I was not disappointed by their pick! It was delicious! The red blends were amazing, and as my husband suggested, doing a little chew of the wine provided an extra zip.
After having your wines, you can rate them in your profile so that Winc can send you even more wine that suits you!
There are two different programs you can sign up for-Winc Featured which is $13 per bottle (approximately). You can select how many bottles of white/red you would like per box with a total of four.
There is also Winc Select, which is the limited production wines, starting at $14 per bottle.
One thing to note about wine shipments, you do need to be home to sign for the package. It will not be left at your door, so I opted to have it sent to a Fed Ex store and I picked it up at my convenience.
My first shipment also came with a hand wine guide from A-Z! Here is a little video with some information!
Winc has an amazing program, and I really have enjoyed my wines and the service! I highly recommend this for any wine lover who wants to explore different wines and wants the convenience of having it delivered!

Expert Advice
Ensure your cleats provide supportive, stabilizing fit. Look for features like an integrated lacing system for a snug, locked-in feel.
A phylon or EVA midsole delivers natural-feeling cushion that supports the foot – keeping you comfortable and agile as the game progresses. Ensure your outsole flexes and bends with the natural movement of your foot with a cleat pattern that provides superior traction for grip and quick acceleration. Firm, rubber nub cleats provide the best traction and grip on turf.
Choose cleats with a durable leather or synthetic upper that feels lightweight yet withstands the rigors of your game. Mesh or perforated panels on your footwear allow for proper air circulation and keeps your shoe feeling breathable.
Athletic footwear designed with an internal sockliner provides a snug, stabilizing fit. Choose women's cleats treated to wick moisture away from skin for a dry feeling when the pressure is on. Shoes designed with antimicrobial fabrication work to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
For performance you can rely on, always choose women's cleats that are designed for your sport or activity.

Arcangelo Corelli
Corelli short biography
A violinist, composer and teacher, Arcangelo Corelli occupies a place among the immortal musicians of all time. Due to Corelli's international recognition, he easily got Royal patronage. It was Corelli who brought violin to its prominence. Corelli's music was universally popular and performed all over Europe even though his composition output was relatively small. Corelli's achievements as a violin teacher were equally phenomenal: great Geminiani and Vivaldi were among his students. Corelli was a leading figure in the musical world of Rome more than 30 years as a performer and concert organizer.

|Five cup salad, and all of its expanded cup versions, is another old fashioned fruit salad that is perfect for any holiday table. A very simple but delicious and well-loved dish.
Old Fashioned 5 Cup SaladFive Cup Salad is another fruit salad that has been around forever - well, for as long as I can remember anyway - and, while it's good any time of the year, is a great addition to the holiday table too. Many of us will remember it from days gone by in our Mama's and Grandma's kitchens, but as always, there are some variations that have appeared in this fruit salad over the years. Some adding additional cups of various ingredients, some even changing up the fruit, but I think this version represents the old, basic 5 cup salad.
The beauty of it, is that it's so easy - just dump, mix and refrigerate, no cooking required. I've included a few variations with the recipe, at least the ones that I'm aware of. For those who don't care for the tartness of pure sour cream, a mixture of sour cream with whipped cream is what I personally prefer.
Another one of those not so photogenic foods, I wish I could convey the personality of this fruit salad with the camera, but I'm betting some of you already know it. I highly recommend a pretty garnish of chopped pecans, a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top as shown above!
Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Old Fashioned Five Cup Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 cup (11 ounce can) of mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup of (8 ounce can) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of sweetened coconut
- 1 cup of sour cream
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. Serves about 6, so increase as needed. Garnish individual servings with a sprinkle of pecans, a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.
Variations: If desired, substitute half sour cream with half whipped cream, or Cool Whip to reduce the tartness of the sour cream. Also can substitute a sweetened vanilla, or other flavored yogurt for the sour cream. Lower fat products are fine. For color, shake the coconut with a little food coloring before adding, to make it more seasonal in color; red for Christmas, pink for Easter, or green for St. Patrick's Day. To make it sweeter, stir in some powdered sugar.
6 Cup Salad: Add in 1/2 cup of chopped pecan.
7 Cup Salad: Add in one (8 ounce) container of thawed Cool Whip.
8 Cup Salad: Add in one small jar of well drained maraschino cherries, halved.

Huanxan tl Po {WAN-zhan tuhl poe}Mandutari caste-menial foot soldierDescription – Huanxan tl Po is a giant of a man, standing at roughly 6'2�, with a massive girth and thickset neck and shoulders. His blunt nose is the most prominent feature of his tense, rounded face, and two small black eyes are almost hidden in greasy, unruly strands of his jaw-length wavy brown hair. His skin is the classic Mandutari bronze-chestnut tone, and when he strains his muscles the veins stand out alarmingly. When not in battle garb, Po wears a simple caste-menial outfit: heavy tunic of a sackcloth-like material and tattered woolen breeches. He prefers to go barefoot whenever possible, as the bronze-toed sandals of the Mandutari army are slightly too cramped for his wide feet.Despite his fearsome size, Po possesses an honourable and lawful disposition, always adhering to the Ancestor Laws and wordlessly obeying the commands set to his column. He rarely joins the revelries of the soldiers after battle, and spends much of his time in prayer to the shades of his ancestors. Po takes war seriously, and when fighting he does not rush recklessly into the fray, preferring to follow his orders to the letter and hope for survival. He has a deep bass voice and moves with the caution that befits one of his stature.Background – Born the child of Huanxan tl Lau and Huanxan tl Jiang, in a small village during the year 3637, Huanxan tl Po was a source of great happiness to his family as he grew into a strong, quiet lad, ready and willing to help his father on the farm-steppes of the village. Of his three younger brothers, Po was his father's favourite, due to his complacency and sense of honour. Sitting beside the fire on long winter nights, Lau would often joke that his massive son almost counted as two working boys in the fields – and his brothers steadily became more resentful.Then came the Imperial Decree in 3659, stating that all families were required to pay a protection fee to the Imperial Columns of the Mandutari Army, of either supplies and rations or their firstborn son as a conscript. Lau, of course, would not dream of sending his beloved elder son to war, and so set about gathering food with a renewed vigour. Sadly, this last show of devotion to Lau's favourite was the final straw for Po's brothers, and between them they committed a terrible act of jealousy. Sneaking into the storerooms one night, they set fire to all the supplies that Lau was so avidly collecting for the Army's fee. The result was devastating: months and months of loving labours wasted in a blaze that quickly reduced the entire storehouse to cinders. Pretending to do their best to put out the fire, the three brothers barely escaped detection, but the damage remained; and when the newly-instated Imperial Collection Officer's retinue rode through their village two weeks later, Lau had no choice but to tell Po to pack his belongings.11 years later, Po still dreams of what might have been had the storehouse not caught fire, but the pain of leaving all he held dear behind is dulled by the years of training and military service, during which Po's column became like a new family to him, though less personal and caring. He reasons that following orders and staying alive are the only means by which he may yet see his father and family again, assuming they are still alive.

ST. LOUIS (AP) � Mississippi River shippers have returned to hauling full loads after several storms and aggressive rock-clearing helped deepen the waterway, eliminating worries about barge traffic shutting down, the river's stewards and barge operators said yesterday.
Barge operators had lessened their loads as the river's level fell, allowing the barges to sit higher in the water. But there have been concerns for months that if the water level fell much more, all barge traffic could be halted.
The recent reversal of that has the Army Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard declaring victory, though they cautioned the threat to shipping on the vital corridor could return next winter as the nation's worst drought in decades has shown no signs of easing.
"I'd say we've gotten through the toughest period we're going to see in the low-water period," said Mike Petersen, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, which scrambled in recent months to clear rocks from a crucial stretch of the Mississippi south of St. Louis.
With recent storms that socked the nation's midsection with snow and rain, "Mother Nature met us halfway, and that's what we needed," Petersen added. "But it also took tremendous elbow grease to keep that open. We're all a little bit weary, but we're relieved to see the river come up and not have any groundings."
The Mississippi River had been growing ever shallower with the drought and a seasonal cutback on the amount of water fed into it from the Missouri River at St. Louis. Barge operators compensated by lightening their loads, which increased shipping costs because more barges were required to move the same amount of cargo. That also caused towboats to go through more fuel because more trips became necessary.
As the industry worried a shutdown could be imminent, the corps scrambled to keep the river at a minimum of 9 feet deep for safe barge navigation. For months, the river hovered just a few feet � and at times a few inches � above that level.
Blasting and removal of rock pinnacles added 2 feet of depth at a troublesome southern Illinois stretch, and recent storms fed the river and its tributaries.
Yesterday, the river gauge at St. Louis showed a channel depth of about 18 feet. The National Weather Service said it expects the river to rise another 2 feet through the weekend before a gradual decline. But that forecast assumes no additional precipitation, and the approaching spring months typically are among the wettest of the year.
At AEP River Operations, the river's comeback had Marty Hettel cheery. The company had parked many of its 3,100 barges and roughly 100 towboats as the river fell. But in recent days, AEP is back to loading barges to traditional levels, said Hettel, the company's senior manager of bulk sales.
"I'm sitting here telling you today that we're gonna get through this thing without any more obstructions. It's quite a relief," Hettel said. "On Dec. 31, it looked like the river was gonna be shut down" by early January. "It was very touch and go, but timely rains helped us out. And kudos to the corps."
While calling the river's rise "a good-news story," an executive with the Waterways Council Inc. trade group said Congress still must address the river's aging system of locks and dams or risk the prospect of frequent infrastructure failures closing the corridor. Still, Debra Colbert said, "we really dodged a bullet."

On November 7, 1983, David Hendricks, a businessman traveling in Wisconsin, calls police in Bloomington, Illinois, to request that they check on his house and family. According to Hendricks, no one had answered the phone all weekend and he was worried. When the police and neighbors searched the home the next day, they found the mutilated bodies of Hendricks' wife and three children, all of whom had been hacked to death with an ax and butcher knife.
Because there was very little sign of a struggle or forced entry, police thought the crime scene was suspicious. In addition, though the killings were brutal, the murder weapons had been cleaned and left neatly near the bodies. When Hendricks returned later that day, police questioned him and checked his clothes and car for bloodstains. The search was inconclusive, and Hendricks' alibi appeared solid. With no other leads, police began to examine Hendricks' story more closely. He claimed that he had taken his family out for a pizza at about 7:30 on November 4. According to him, they then played in an amusement area and returned home at 9:30pm. Hendricks left for his business trip several hours later. After studying the children's bodies, medical examiners concluded that Hendricks story did not quite fit. Ordinarily, food leaves the stomach and moves into the small intestine within two hours. However, in all three children, vegetarian pizza toppings were still in their stomachs, which led investigators to estimate their time of death sometime around 9:30pm, while Hendricks was still at home. Police arrested Hendricks and charged him with murder, but they still lacked a concrete motive. The Hendricks family was devoutly religious, belonging to a puritan-like group called the Plymouth Brethren. His defense attorney hammered away at the only physical evidence against him, pointing out that physical activity or trauma can affect the rate of digestion. Still, a jury found Hendricks guilty of four counts of murder and he was sentenced to life imprisonment on December 21, 1988.

"I haven't been doing much coding lately" says the former-developer with a wry grin in a strange tone of voice. Or perhaps he says "I haven't had time to code lately." However he says, whatever he says, the implication is clear: This guy has better things to do than to muck about coding.
I heard this yesterday, and something struck me: I've heard this before. Many times, in fact. The wry smile and the tone of voice is not unique. Something was definitely going on.
In this particular case, the former-developer was acting as an architect/project lead. As he saw it, his role was to give input into the business specification, write the technical specification, create a bunch of UML diagrams that defined the system architecture, create the project schedule, brief the developers, and move on to the next project, keeping his hands free of the implementation details [1].
Listening to him describe his role, something really bugged me. He pointed out that he was just separating design from implementation, something done in construction for centuries. In fact, his title was taken directly from construction.
So I asked if he'd ever built a house or worked with an actual architect, and the answer was "no." I mentioned to him that if you want an analogy to borrow, construction is a terribly inefficient choice. I used to work in the McGraw-Hill Construction division, writing software for designers and architects. The finger pointing, needless delays, and confusion between architects and implementers is systemic. In fact, the newest trend in construction is called "Design/Build," where a single construction company is hired to perform both tasks--McGraw-Hill Construction actually launched a magazine a few years back called Design/Build Magazine (http://www.designbuildmag.com/). Design/Builders claim incredible increases in speed, decreases in cost, and improved client satisfaction.
Next I pointed him to the article "Who Needs An Architect?", by Martin Fowler (http://www.martinfowler.com/ieeeSoftware/whoNeedsArchitect.pdf). In it, Fowler points out that most "architecture" is about having a single, very senior, very smart person who makes key decisions early in the project, because those key decisions are so hard to change and can make life so hard if they are done wrong. Fowler suggests that the whole analogy is wrong, and that if we have an architect, the role should be mentoring programmers to make there own good decisions and decreasing the cost-of-change curve to make changes later in the project less scary, thus not forcing us to get it perfect up front.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the architecture idea is bad--hiring a seasoned professional to "mind the store" on a project is a definite improvement for a shop with a few self-trained coders and no unity of vision. My assertion was that the having the architect make technical contributions could make the team better. That there is room for improvement over the "pure architect" analogy.
On the drive home, I thought more about the problem. There was something more to that whole "I won't be writing much code" wink/grin thing that concerned me. Yes, I was concerned that it separates authority from responsibility. If the project turned out bad, or the estimates turned out bad, instead of a feedback loop (to get better estimates next time) it would turn into a finger-pointing game. The architect could always say "Those dumb implementers we hired were too dumb. Next time, we need to hire implementers who are slightly less dumb."
The next morning, I discussed the problem with a co-worker who pointed me to the C2 Wiki article "Architects Don't Code" (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ArchitectsDontCode) which claims ArhitectsDontCode is an Anti-Pattern: An idea that seems seductive, but is actually a worst practice or a bad pattern of thinking. The main theme seemed to be that architects who don't code don't have to live with the decisions they've made, so they don't get feedback and a means to improve. Furthermore, architects that aren't contributing technically can lose touch with the problems developers encounter, thus creating designs with painful flaws. As one poster to the wiki wrote: "orchestra directors can (and do) play a lot of the instruments. I agree that the players may be better, but they HAVE to know in order to be able to direct. A person that has a degree in music (like the director) must be able to play chord, wind and percussion instruments (and sing). Let's hope that one day architects on software projects get to the same level."
Looking back on my career, it wasn't just architects that use that expression. People who are looking to move into, or recently moved into, Project Management, People Management, Quality Engineering, Systems Analysis ... the list goes on. In fact, the statement "I won't be doing much coding anymore ..." can be used by almost anyone to assert superiority and boss-man-ship. Often, the assertion "I'm above/beyond/better than that" hides behind the statement. Generally, it is delivered to someone who is coding, so that statement is more subtly "I am above/beyond/better than you."
Now, for purposes of organizational structure, sometimes that has to happen. The supervisor and leader need to be able to lead. Typically, though, the org chart and actual reality match that, so leaders don't feel a need to make sly, slick assertions designed to infer authority. They already are in a position of authority, and secure in that authority, to boot.
The culture problem comes in when every promotion is away from code. The thing is, the work of coding is the work of making the thing that impacts the customer. If everyone is trying to get promoted "away" from coding, then who is actually doing the coding? Anyone? Bueller? The guy who's too dumb to know that he's at the bottom of the caste?
Let me expand on that idea that "the work of coding is the work of making the thing that impacts the customer." UML diagrams don't actually do anything. Neither do specifications, requirements, test cases, methodologies, or procedure documents. In fact, the Agile Manifesto goes so far as to say:
"We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is to say, while we value the items on the right, we value the items on the left more."
-- http://www.agilemanifesto.org
In other words, if you develop a wonderful, complete set of documentation, and your company goes under, the customer is going to do what? Hire someone else who will look at your documentation, claim that it's poor, and start over. The same goes for architecture diagrams, test cases, and methodologies. They don't actually do anything. Only the coder is doing the work of production [2].
I remember a wonderful feeling when I read Ron Jeffries'Extreme Programming: Installed (Addison-Wesley, 2000), in which coding is viewed as central to the role of development: Everything else is support. In that worldview, coding is noble, creative work. Developers can add values through both technical contributions ("hey cool, I found a way to do that in 12 lines of code!") but also through business contributions ("You know, if we knew zip code, we could...") through intense collaboration. In Extreme Programming: Explained (Addison-Wesley, 1999), Kent Beck went so far as to end his preface with something to the effect of "I could write more, but if you'll excuse me, I gotta go code ..." He went on to say that "You can't expect to carry a lot of baggage and move fast. The artifacts we maintain should be Few, Simple, and Valuable ... Like the nomads, the XP team gets used to traveling light. They don't carry much in the way of baggage except what they must have to keep producing value for the customer--tests and code."
An alternative to making every promotion away from code is to create a technical career ladder. Priority Health, Microsoft, Fog Creek Software (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000038.html), and Construx (http://www.construx.com/professionaldev/organization/pdl/version1/pyramid.htm) all have technical career ladders. All of them involve incenting developers to get better at coding, resulting in better code developed faster. The alternative involves incenting developers to learn things that have nothing to do with coding, and quite frankly rather scares me.
The problem is that all this so-called architecture really isn't architecture at all. It's some person's vision of world with authority and no responsibility. At Priority Health, our architects are project participants throughout the life of the project. They have "day" jobs where they make actual technical contributions. When they aren't making technical contributions on a project but are assigned to "mind the store", we define the role very similar to the way Martin Fowler does: The Architect is a guide who mentors the developer to make good design decisions, not a boss. As a Technical Project Manager, I feel honored to be invited to code review sessions, to pair on a complex bit of code, or when asked by folks in a crunch to jump in and contribute through code or testing. It's an opportunity for me to keep my technical skills up as well as to actually put real working software in the hands of customers.
Sean McMillan contributed to this article.
[1] "Programmers shift from design to coding when the problem is decomposed to a level of 'primitives' that the designer has mastered. If the coder is not the same person as the designer, the designer's primitives are unlikely to match the coder's primitives, and trouble will result."
-- Robert Glass, Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering, "Fact #29" (Addison-Wesley, 2002)
[2] Please don't take that statement too far; testing and requirements gathering are also key. Extreme Programming pushes many of the responsibilities of testing and requirements gathering back onto the software developer. What I am trying to express is that artifacts like activity diagrams do not stand on their own; they only have value along with working software. It is the software that the customer wants, not the UML.

On Friday, we brought you a report of upcoming changes to how Bing works and looks on Windows Phone 8. At the time, we presented a handful of documented alterations and confirmed with Microsoft that these new features were coming to those in the US soon and the rest of the world a bit later.
Today, Microsoft has decided to detail those changes on the Windows Phone Blog, filling in some of the blanks for the search engine overhaul.
Some of those changes include the previously mentioned redesign of Web search, which now merges the Local pivot within it. That's because Web search has become smarter, allowing it to "…show whatever's most relevant to your search, including images, videos, and local results". That's opposed to the previous method where you'd have to swipe to the right to view different categories.
Such modifications should mean less taps and swipes from consumers, with only relevant information being presented. Similarly, searching for a site like Delta Airlines will now present you with "links to Flight Status, SkyMiles, Track Flight, Flight Schedules", making things a lot simpler.
Another update is how data is used. On the old Bing, when you brought down results it would also populate the images and video pivots, regardless if you used them or not. Now with the new update, those pivots won't have data downloaded unless the user swipes to the right, purposefully requesting more information. That should help cut back on some data for users and it is a good move when you consider the earlier re-thinking of the Web search results.
Two other features are Instant Answers and Snapshot. The former we alluded to with the definitions example, whereby Bing will give you a word definition without having to drill into a site to find out more. We have now learned that such Instant Answers include results for local time requests, currency information, traffic data, flight records and more. Meanwhile, Snapshot "provides information at-a-glance about people, places, or things", without having to load up a website.
All in all, these are nice additions to Bing, though it will be a few weeks before people in the US with a Windows Phone 8 device see these changes (users won't have to do anything, as the update will come from Microsoft's servers). We still haven't had the new experience load up here in New York, but what about you folks? Let us know in comments.

Crock-Pot Southwestern Sausage and Hominy Stew
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The third recipe in this month's crock-pot series would be given a pass, if pass/fail were the only grading options available. Were I to continue with the baseball analogy used with the other recipes we've featured so far, I'd call this a double play. Let me immediately add that there is nothing wrong with this dish. As a matter of fact, if there are teens in your house it might become a family favorite. My problem is that I think the recipe used to make this very basic dish is contrived. You don't really need a slow cooker to prepare it. This earthy casserole can be simmered stovetop or cooked in a microwave at the same time the rice that accompanies it is made. This is not a dish that needs to simmer for hours at a low temperature. You may want to prepare it that way, but it is not necessary and will add very little flavor to the finished dish. Most of the ingredients used in this stew come from cans and, like all dishes of this type, it is super simple to make. Texture in the dish is provided by the add-ons found at the end of the recipe. Don't forget them. The mango is used to brighten the flavor of the stew. If you don't have one, you can substitute a sweet apple or pear and get nearly the same affect. I think that those of you who are looking for crock-pot or slow cooker recipes will like this a lot. It's easy to do and very affordable. Here's the recipe.
Crock-Pot Southwestern Sausage and Hominy Stew...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann as featured in their book Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook
1-1/2 cups prepared salsa, medium or hot (I recommend hot)
1 cup coarsely chopped red bell pepper (1-inch pieces)
1 cup coarsely Chopped yellow pepper (1-inch pieces)
1 (10-oz.) bag frozen corn, thawed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 (15.5-oz.) can white or golden hominy, rinsed and drained
1 (12-oz.) package smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tablespoons tequila
For Serving:
3 cups hot cooked long-grain white or brown rice
1/2 cup crushed tortilla Chips
1 medium-large ripe mango (10 to 14-oz.) peeled and sliced off the pit
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped green onion (white and tender green)
3/4 cup sour cream
1) Combine salsa, bell peppers, corn, chili powder, hominy, sliced sausage and tequila in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours.
2) To serve, divide rice among 4 bowls; top each serving with stew, crushed chips, mango slices (I diced my mangoes), cilantro, green onions and a big dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

I have noticed that quite a few crock pot dishes can be cooked on the stovetop in much less time. But for women who work all day, it still is a wonderful time saver.

Now, see? You jus' hadda' go an' cook with sausage, din't you? I SO don't care for sausage. In fact, that reminds me of an incident that I will hafta' be sure an put on my blog, sometime.
I thought I was Following you, but I must have commented without remembering to click Follow. Sorry 'bout that. I've corrected that oversight, now.
Now, all I hafta' do is see if I can talk my good hubby-buddy into makin' this recipe with some other kinda' meat. Who knows? Could happen. *grin*
By the way, the Word Verification word for the moment is 'frogr'. I'm feelin' a little froggy.

I actually think I would love this dish but I blame that on the fact that I'm in love with stews these days. THere's something about one-pot hearty meals that's so appealing right now. I would probably make it on the stove though. Faster is key.

I have a thing for hearty stews, southwest flavors AND smoked turkey sausage, so this looks fantastic!

I am so loving the posts from this book. I can decide what I want to try.
Not sure if you've looked at the French Onion Soup or not. I made it this week and it was AMAZING. Not sure I will ever make it stove top again. I will be posting soon.

There's something freeing about putting everything together, turning on the crock pot and walking away. That said, I hesitate to do so and leave the house. Maybe that's why, even when I worked outside our home, that I've used the crock pot very seldom. Your dish has delicious eye appeal and the ingredients sound quite tasty.

I have never cooked with hominy either - I know of it - but it's off my radar. But the turkey sausage with salsa and peppers has my attention!

- Kath said...
Looking at the recipe, I agree that it could be made equally well stove-top. I would have loved making it in a slow cooker, though, back in the day when the girls had softball games. We'd get home between 7:00 and 8:00 and the whole family needed to eat NOW!

I have not made stew yet this season or chili, so that's on my list of things for cooking! Sounds yummy.

i've found that with a lot of recipes too, it just doesn't seem like it's necessary to have it slow cooking all day. this looks so good, i just love the combo of foods. i hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Hi Mary,
Thanks for stopping by, I'm happy that you stumbled on my blog, because that made me find yours!
I have to love any place that has "hominy" written on the front page....
Lovely blog, lovely photos and great recipes, what more could a girl ask for?
I haven't cooked with a crockpot since my kids were young, but I did a lot of crockpot cooking when I was a single mom, working full time and raising two teenagers. Maybe I should get it out of storage and dust it off for old time's sake. A nice warm stew would certainly taste good tonight...
- January 15, 2011 at 4:29 PM

It is so true that this recipe is probably a real winner with teenagers because of all of the flavors. I like it in the crock pot or not:) Have a nice evening!

Even if you don't have to use the crockpot for this, I still think it's nice to come home to a house that smells wonderful with dinner all ready. I'm putting this in my crockpot file. :)

Mary, I think my boy would love this sausage stew. It sounded scrmptious and easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're having a wonderful day.
Cheers, Kristy

This sounds fabulous! I'm not sure I've ever tried hominy..this could be my perfect chance! :-)

What a gorgeous recipe... and I can imagine how lovely it tastes. I like how it isn't so thick, too - and the colour is beautiful.
I am definitely translating this recipe to make in my Thermomix. I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you so much!

Samsung's Galaxy S IV reveal is now just days away. While leaks about Samsung's anticipated handset are abundant, nothing is set in stone until Samsung announces it on stage. On Friday, the Ars editors put together a wish list of half a dozen improvements that we hope Samsung makes to the phone. We also asked you what you wanted, and you responded loud and clear. Here are half a dozen recommendations from our esteemed Ars readership that Samsung could use to improve to its newest flagship phone.
1) Tone down TouchWiz
OEM-produced skins for Android can be a mixed bag. At their best, they can add features to Android that it doesn't yet include. At their worst, they replace perfectly good things from stock Android with versions that don't work as well. More than one of you wanted Samsung to use a lighter touch with its TouchWiz skin.
"Tone down Touchwiz and rip out much of what doesn't work," said Ars commenter dfavro. "Do an Apple and make this the 'refinement' generation. Get rid of Kies, Allshare Cast, S-voice, and all the Hubs that no one uses unless there's a legitimate improvement over stock. There are too many features on my [Galaxy] Note that seem, well, half-baked would be charitable."
Others would rather see TouchWiz excised entirely. "Android is coming along just fine without being whizzed up/on by Samsung," said ColinABQ. "They should just drop the whole TouchWiz act and go with stock Android, to the extent possible in any given hardware configuration. That would eliminate, solve, or reduce several problems, such as icon/menu placement and organization, and speed of updates. They could also reduce their own expenses in development and testing. Being the largest Android handset maker, a step away from their current role in fragmentation and update delays would do the entire Android ecosystem some good and might even encourage feature contributions to the (allegedly) open Android OS."
And finally, some would down steer a middle path, keeping some of Samsung's design touches as long as they are optional. "I can do my own customization to suit my own requirements a lot better than you can (although some customization help would be welcome, in the form of templates I can choose and modify)," wrote Postulator. "Basically, enable the user rather than trying to tell us how to use our device—that's what Android is made for."
2) Improved LTE (and thus, fewer international variants)
The Galaxy S III (and a pile of other smartphones) is available in several different hardware configurations depending on the country it was purchased in. The "international" version of the phone uses one of Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad chips, while the US version uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. The variants also differ in what LTE bands they support. Some of you want to see Samsung simplify this product matrix and ship one configuration of the phone that works everywhere.
"I hope it drops with [Qualcomm's RF360] 40 band LTE chip so it can get LTE on any carrier around the world, and so there is only one (international) model of the phone, allowing all to be updated at the same time, without delays from the carrier," wrote Dark Laser. "A boy can dream…"
3) Better off-contract price
When Google and LG introduced the Nexus 4 with high-end hardware for $300 without a contract, some dared to hope. Perhaps the device would help shake up a market dominated by phones that sell for more than twice as much when not tied to a two-year carrier agreement. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be happening, but some of you haven't given up that dream.
"The number one thing I want to see is a $400 off-contract price," wrote Korgoth. "In a world where Google is speccing out high-end Nexus phones then releasing them off contract for under $400, why would I buy an S IV that is chained to a $90-a-month contract?"
4) Water resistance
You're not going to make it through life without introducing liquid to electronics that aren't equipped to handle liquid. It's a fact. Whether you've accidentally spilled your drink or dumped your phone into the toilet, accidents happen. So some of you want Samsung to follow what Sony has done with its Xperia Z: make a waterproof phone.
"All I want is a water-resistant phone with high-end specs," wrote mrbenstein. "I tried out the Samsung rugby smart last summer. You could use the phone underwater. Awesome! It would freeze up and require a battery pull to reboot when performing basic tasks. Not awesome. I don't care if it's a little thicker, just make me a good phone that is durable and water-resistant."
5) No more plastic
The plastic-versus-metal debate in smartphones can be almost as polarizing as the AMOLED-vs-IPS discussion—plastic can be done well and it makes for lightweight phones, but it is also prone to feeling creaky and cheap.
"I would like to see an aluminum body like the HTC One," wrote LMT. "That would be an automatic sale from me since I can't stand the HTC software."
Some of you are still fine with plastic, as long as it's high-quality plastic. "Use better materials like aluminum or steel for the band, ceramic or at least polycarbonate (not all plastics are polycarbonate) for the back," said spartak.
6) Yes to better battery life (but keep it replaceable)
Finally, one area where the staff and the readers were in universal agreement: most of you want the Galaxy S IV to have great battery life. Many of you even said that you'd gladly accept a little additional thickness to get it.
"I would like the standard battery to be roughly equivalent to what's now an extended battery," said Boksone. "Adding a few mm to the depth of the phone would not only be acceptable to me, but desirable. Most modern phones are actually too thin for comfort for me."
Others agree that battery life is very important, but they don't want it to come at the cost of having a removable battery. "My biggest request is for them to not to hop on the non-replaceable battery bandwagon," wrote hertzsae. "I don't care how big you make the battery. I love the fact that I can have an instantly charged phone by swapping it out. If they make a battery that lasts 10 days, I'll probably forget to charge and need the instant capacity that a battery swap gives me."
