Choosing right meat makes diet difference
Ribeye, filet, strip -- what does it mean?
Red meat has taken a beating from just about every low-fat diet that's ever come down the pike, and some of that criticism is unjustified. Go to a steakhouse and order the traditional 12- or 16-ounce ribeye and you're getting well over 1,000 calories and 30 grams of fat, a lot of that in saturated form.
(The government considers a 2,000 calorie diet when figuring nutritional guidelines.)
However, there's also nothing quite like the taste of a piece of steak flame-broiled just right with just a bit of kosher salt and cracked pepper to season it.
But there are lots of cuts of beef out there that don't carry the same caloric mass-load as the beloved ribeye. Some of them are still great on the grill, while some need a bit more specialized handling to yield their true beefy goodness.
There are those in the beef marketing business who would have you believe that, unless you are cooking USDA prime steak, you're somehow shortchanging yourself and your guests. Those people quite likely wouldn't be able to tell a prime ribeye from stew meat.
The simple fact is that prime beef comprises only a tiny percentage of the total yearly harvest. And you will pay dearly for it. When I used to splurge on prime, the price was routinely $21.99/lb. or more, whereas the USDA choice would come in at $13.99/lb. You'll also have real trouble finding prime beef outside a bona fide butcher shop. Most beef sold as steaks in supermarkets is choice grade, although you'll be hard-pressed to find it identified as such. Most markets emphasize things such as "genuine Angus" or "certified Hereford" instead.
Does prime taste better? Personally, I think if you treat a choice-grade steak properly it tastes just as good. Proper cooking is the key.
Ribeye: 222 calories, 15 grams fat, 105 mg cholesterol, 21 grams protein
Ribeye is the king of grill steaks for a good reason. With its fat marbling, all a good ribeye needs is a little kosher salt and pepper. If you must, a blend like Penzey's Chicago-style steak seasoning is fairly nifty. If you marinate a ribeye, the Beef Police will come and take your grill away from you.
Filet Mignon: 175 calories, 8.3 grams fat, 71 mg cholesterol, 24 grams protein
The filet is commonly regarded as the Cadillac of steaks, so why is it so often sold wrapped in bacon? The simple reason is that while it is buttery-rich and tender, it just doesn't have much character. Yes, it's the purest expression of steak, but most steak aficionados honestly prefer a ribeye or strip steak with a bit of marbling.
New York Strip: 174 calories, 8 grams fat, 59 mg cholesterol, 24 grams protein
Also called a Kansas City strip when cut a bit thicker, this is the classic steakhouse favorite. It doesn't have quite the fat of the ribeye, and thus welcomes steak rubs, herbed butter and peppercorn sauces. Do yourself a favor, though, and try one treated like a ribeye. It's serious beef.
T-bone: 219 calories, 15 grams fat, 59 mg cholesterol, 20 grams protein
For many steak purists, the T-bone is the ultimate steak. In one hot, juicy package you have a piece of filet and a chunk of New York strip, separated by a bone just made for gnawing. It's not something one generally eats in polite company, but when the better half is out of town and you're craving steak, go for it. (Note that I didn't specify a gender. Women get a steak jones occasionally just like men do.)
Top Sirloin: 183 calories, 9 grams fat, 66 mg cholesterol, 24 grams protein
Sirloin is one of your best values in the steak universe. It has enough fat to make it tasty and it won't drain your wallet. Make sure you get top sirloin, as the bottom sirloin tends toward dry and chewy. You can sear it like a ribeye, but it also takes very well to marinades. One great use is to slice it thinly -- do it when the steak is partially frozen for thinnest slices -- and make stir-fry.
Chuck: 196 calories, 10 grams fat, 76 mg cholesterol, 24 grams protein
Chuck has a fair amount of connective tissue, and doesn't take well to fast, hot cooking like grilling. Braise it, use it in stews or cut it in chunks and marinate it for use in kabobs. I also like to make my own ground beef at home using half chuck and half sirloin, cut in chunks and pulsed in the food processor.
Round: 169 calories, 5 grams fat, 77 mg cholesterol, 30 grams protein
The higher protein and lower fat on this cut tells you all you need to know about cooking it: go slowly. Cook a bottom round steak too quickly and you'll end up with beef-flavored vulcanized rubber. A thick-cut top round makes a great pot roast, braised slowly with your choice of flavorful liquids and/or vegetables.
Of course, there are other cuts of steak out there. Porterhouse, the big brother of the T-bone, flank steak, skirt steak and hanger steak are just a few. However, you'll find that once you've mastered the big seven, you'll find that no cut of beef will be able to intimidate you.
All nutritional values are for a 3-ounce serving.

On the face of it, SecuriData is poor value compared with other offerings but, if you're trusting your business to online backup, it has advantages.
For safety and security, there's a more stringent back-up program, based on a sizeable 85MB download - most others are about 2MB - and backups stored on the company's servers are automatically monitored for integrity. You can be notified if any of your files are corrupted.
Business advantages include the ability to restore individual emails, rather than having to restore your whole (and normally very large) Outlook PST file, and SecuriData also offers a Local Storage option for a one-off fee of £45.
This allows automatic backup of your data to a local hard drive while you're backing it up online, giving true belt-and-braces safety, plus the ability to restore large files quickly. The company also offers larger Microsoft Small Biz Server and Dispersed LAN back-up solutions as well.

As municipalities cut their budgets due to the recession, many city administrators have cut funding for city rec centers. Some of them are turning to privatizing some or all of their rec centers.
At least one municipality, Broadview Heights, OH, has decided to partner with Integrated Wellness Partners, which is a joint venture between Akron General Health System and Signet Development, to build a $30 million, 115,000-squarefoot medical wellness center. The facility will include three gyms, group exercise classes, three pools, child care and medical facilities that will include outpatient services, physicians offices and a 24-hour emergency department.
The facility, which is expected to open in 2013, is being built next to city hall on city land leased by Akron General.
If Doug Ribley, vice president of health and wellness services at Akron General Health System, has his way, more municipalities will start partnering with his group on their rec centers.
"The rec center model is broken," Ribley says. He explains that prior to using tax dollars to build these facilities, city administrators must make promises about what they will charge for rec center use, but that charge often is not enough to cover their costs.
The solution, according to Ribley, is a partnership between a local health care provider and the municipality, which is what Integrated Wellness Partners is seeking to create with municipalities beyond Broadview Heights. Ribley says the company will soon announce several projects with municipalities, as well as with universities and medical groups, two other groups the company is targeting.
The advantage of a public-private partnership is that no tax dollars are required. And, in the case of Integrated Wellness Partners, the facilities are based on an approach that Ribley says is already working at Akron General's three medical wellness centers. The centers include freestanding emergency departments, diagnostic testing capabilities, clinical rehab services and fitness centers.
"So it's not just a medical fitness component," Ribley says. "It's a comprehensive outpatient delivery model, which is completely unique."
The 21,000 citizens of Broadview Heights, which is located between Cleveland and Akron, can join their existing rec centers for $21 per month, a rate for adults 19 years old to 59 years old. Memberships at the new medical wellness center are promised at a discounted price to citizens of Broadview Heights, but the exact price has not been stated. Whether Integrated Wellness Partners could operate the city rec centers at the same dues price as municipalities would depend on the city and the facility, Ribley says.
"We'd operate it in the most cost-efficient way as we could, and we'd charge appropriate prices," he says. "Every market is different."
Ribley says that every community in the country should have access to this kind of model, which appeals to a more mature, deconditioned and higher-risk population than commercial club operators typically market to.
Ribley says: "We don't see ourselves in the commercial club business. We are in the health care business. That's the way we approach these projects. Municipalities that talk to us, they are not interested in a rec center or club—they are interested in a way to improve the health of their community. So that is what makes us unique. We operate and develop health and wellness centers as opposed to other groups that build and operate health clubs. It's very different. We cater to a different market. It's a different facility, different programs. And there's a tremendous demand for this."


text: With the power of mobile phones increasing by the day, a lot of manual note taking or task tracking has been shifted from traditional paper-based notepads to the mobile phone. The biggest reason, I think, is because any modern person cannot leave home without their mobile phone; combining the phone with other daily tracking functions is the next logical step. This is where BillTracker comes in.

And, enjoy:
Today I was walking around the room, and a kid was telling a very suspenseful and dramatic story about driver ed or something, and gesticulating, and as I was walking up behind him, his gesticulating hand crashed right onto my boob. Not like a minor brush, either. He got an unignorable handful. Thank goodness I was wearing a bra today.
He snatches his hand away as if he was burned. I'm making a wide-eyed, silent-scream "!!!!" face at him; he's making the same face back at me.
In my misguided attempt to use humor to diffuse the situation, I say probably the worst possible thing of all things I could say at that moment,
"Geesh. The last guy who did that bought me dinner first."Child: mortified. Classmates: in hysterics. Somehow, we got on with a math lesson.
So THEN, after school, I look up from my desk, and his mom is standing at my door. I think, "Oh, nooo" and brace for impact.
But, no, she just happened to be at school, and wanted to say hi and check in.
Sentence. Deferred.

i second faustus' suggestion. Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature is a good place to start. as some kind of theoretical backdrop, it's been helpful to me for quite a while now.
i've been wrestling with Mille Plateaux for a few years now... the first chapter seems to be fundamental to the model they are developing... from there they just sort of elaborate in a lot of different directions. the chapter about Nomad Science/State Science was an interesting one (aforementioned stuff about Metallurgy...)... don't have the book in hand now so i can't say precisely what the chapter is called, but i think it's fairly obvious.
as far as the whole Body Without Organs/Organs Without a Body thing goes... i think the basic point is to think of identity boundaries as having a lot of fluidity... affect (and other such energies) having the ability to traverse identities, forming and dissolving 'beings' of various constitutions. a lot of this stuff in and of itself wouldn't distinguish D & G from earlier thinkers, but these sorts of things do seem to form some kind of basis... part of the project seems to be taking on all sorts of different physical phenomena (thermodynamics, migratory patterns, an' good ole rhizomatic root systems) and applying them to questions of identity and other such philosophical concepts...
dunno, it's been a while since i've spent time directly with the feller, but i doubt i'll ever think outside of his massive shadow in my lifetime...

TEL AVIV — Sen. Rand Paul kicked off his trip to Israel Sunday, joining several prominent GOP operatives for an eight-day tour that has heightened the Kentucky Republican's international profile and fueled further speculation about a 2016 presidential run.
According to the itinerary for the trip, Paul has confirmed meetings this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli President Shimon Peres, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, King Abdullah II, and other prominent Israeli politicians. For parts of the trip, Paul will also be accompanied by about 50 evangelical leaders and party activists, including the state GOP chairs of Iowa and South Carolina — two key early primary states.
The tour was funded by the conservative American Family Association, and organized by evangelical kingmaker David Lane and former pharmaceuticals executive Richard Roberts, a prominent member of the Orthodox Jewish community who donates heavily to the GOP.
The trip is the latest push to boost Paul's foreign policy cred as he prepares to take his new seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee later this month. It also offers the Senator another chance to distance himself from his father, retiring Texas Rep. Ron Paul, whose libertarian foreign policy views have been widely ridiculed by the GOP.
Like his father, Sen. Paul opposes foreign aid on principle; but he has tempered that position to focus primarily on cutting aid for countries in conflict with the U.S., like Egypt and Pakistan. In recent weeks, the Kentucky Senator has reached out to assure Republican Jewish leaders that he is not interested in cutting funding for Israel.
It seems likely that Paul will make similar overtures during his meetings here this week, although it is not clear whether it will be enough to satisfy Israel hardliners in either country. Paul's visit also comes at a tense moment for Israel, which is poised to slide even further to the right after the country's elections later this month.
Needless to say, it is going to be an interesting week for Paul and his fellow travelers. I'll be covering the trip from the ground, so check back on Business Insider's politics vertical, or follow me on Twitter @grace_lightning, for updates.

St. Anthony Village High School senior Kia Kivi is headed to the state gymnastics this weekend. This is her third trip to state but first in three years.
It didn't take long for Xavier Mansfield to acclimate to a new team. The junior from St. Anthony Village High School recently joined the Spring Lake Park/St.
In its first year as a member of the Northwest Suburban Conference, the Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony Village wrestling team made a run at the league title but came up just short.
All six Bulletin-area prep soccer teams have reached the final week of the regular season. The section playoffs begin next week so for most of them this week provides a final tune-up prior to the post-season.
While the Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony Village girls soccer team finished below .500 in its first year in the Northwest Suburban Conference last year, the Panthers competed well and are eager to build on that this fall.
If it seems as though the football season starts earlier and earlier every year, this year you would be right. Because of stadium availability issues for the Prep Bowl, the 2015 high school football season starts two weeks earlier than normal.
There is a decent amount of turnover in terms of the teams competing in this week's Class AAA state true team track and field meet. Eight teams (five boys and three girls) that competed in last year's meet failed to qualify this season.
The Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony Village co-op track and field teams are dealing with a good problem this spring.
Being stuck in a section with a couple of perennial powerhouses makes its difficult for programs with less of a pedigree to get to the state tournament. That's the situation that the Irondale/St.
All three Bulletin-area high schools have wrestlers taking part in the Section 5AAA individual tournament on Saturday at Osseo High School. The participants will be trying to qualify for the state tournament.

Discover Bank offers strong options for online savings
When you say "Discover," many people think of the company's iconic credit cards. Discover revolutionized the credit card industry by introducing the first cash-back rewards credit card in 1986, but Discover Bank -- the part of the company that offers online deposit accounts -- has expanded in recent years to offer its own enticing options for savings accounts, money market accounts and CDs.
Discover Bank services
With a Discover Bank deposit account, you can rest assured that your funds are fully FDIC-insured to the maximum limit of $250,000 per depositor. If you choose to open a joint account at the bank, you and the account co-owner will each be insured up to the limit of $250,000.
Discover Bank began offering debit cards in 2006, and today you can access the funds in your money market account through a network with more than 60,000 ATMs. You can also use your debit card with retailers up to six times per month.
Discover Bank account options
Due in part to the low overhead that comes with being a direct online banker, Discover Bank aims to offer higher interest rates than traditional brick-and-mortar banks. It currently offers four types of deposit accounts:
Online savings account. You can open an online savings account with no minimum. No minimum balance requirements or monthly maintenance fees are imposed with this account.
Online money market account. Another option to consider is a money market account, which requires a minimum opening balance of $2,500. To avoid monthly maintenance fees you need to maintain a balance of $2,500 as well.
Certificates of deposit (CDs). Discover Bank also offers CDs with terms from three months to 10 years. Like the money market account, each CD requires a minimum deposit of $2,500. There are no monthly maintenance fees.
IRA CD. You can open a traditional or Roth individual retirement account CD with a minimum deposit of $2,500. Terms are available from three months to 10 years. The IRA CDs are also fully FDIC-insured.
Starting a Discover Bank account
The online nature of Discover Bank makes it easy to open an account from your computer. You'll need only your name, address, Social Security number and a check or account information from your existing bank to help fund the new account.
For the latest rates and details on Discover Bank, please review the tables below.

Elements Of Style
A Man-Approved Meatless Meal
(a food photographer I am not- plates from Kate Spade)
I have long wanted to add more meat-free meals to my life. I've been cutting out red meat and pork from my diet most of the time (for personal "I love animals" reasons, not for a diet). However we eat a lot of chicken. SO MUCH CHICKEN. And when I dine out I love to order fish because others cook it so much better than I do. And yes, I know these are also animals but I have less warm fuzzy feelings for chickens and fish then I do for larger mammals. So while I will continue to eat these things, I really want to have some yummy meals I can prepare that do not include any meat at all. There is one problem though…. I have a very hungry husband who likes to eat ALL the animals. Tricky.
So the other night I persuaded him to let me prepare a recipe I saw in last month's Martha Stewart magazine that happened to be meat-free but I thought looked really filling and delicious- "One Pan Orecchiette with Chickpeas and Olives". Holy hell you guys, it was DELICIOUS and guess who loved it? Andrew! (Granted he did say "this would be awesome with some spicy sausage in it…") But still, he was full and happy with it as is! I loved it so much I saved the extra and ate it the next day for lunch. And the best part- it's beyond easy and affordable to make. Just throw everything into the skillet and wait 15 minutes! I'm no chef and I have little free time so meals like these are gold to me!
Here's the recipe:
- 12 ounces orecchiette
- 1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 6-inch sprig rosemary
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
- 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
2 cups baby arugula (about 2 ounces)
Combine pasta, chickpeas, olives, tomato paste, garlic, rosemary, oil, pepper flakes, and 5 cups water (** note from Erin- I'd use 4 cups water and add a little at the end if needed to thicken instead- I thought this was too much water) in a large straight-sided skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and liquid is reduced to a sauce that coats pasta, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat, discard rosemary, and stir in cheese. Add more water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin sauce if necessary. Divide pasta and arugula among bowls and serve immediately, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with cheese and pepper flakes.

Spa Day Experience GiftsPamper days and spa experiences are the perfect way to spoil someone special and treat them to the ultimate birthday gift or present, as a day of pure pampering indulgence is without doubt the way to many girl's hearts! With aromatic oils and potent pampering potions aplenty - the rest, relaxation and rejuvenation supplied is enough to put the spring back in the step of tired and overworked girls in need of a de-stressing! With some of the UK's top spa resorts like Hillmott's, Crowne Plaza Marlow and Fairlawns in amongst many other of the more local spas - the possibilities for a plethora of pampering pleasure is rife!
The feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation as you float seamlessly between the treatment tables is one of the most desirable experience days on the market, with ladies of all ages, shapes and sizes prone to a pamper at the hands of trained experts. Once stepped over the threshold, the outside stresses are left behind and the only thing on the pamper-ee's mind should be hot rocks, hot springs and hot saunas - before massages, manicures and more makeovers!

John Fowles
British writer
John Robert Fowles (31 March 1926 – 5 November 2005) was an English novelist and essayist.
- There are only two races on this planet — the intelligent and the stupid.
- As quoted in Daily Telegraph (15 August 1991)
The Collector (1963)Edit
- When she was home from her boarding-school I used to see her almost every day sometimes, because their house was right opposite the Town Hall Annexe. She and her younger sister used to go in and out a lot, often with young men, which of course I didn't like. When I had a free moment from the files and ledgers I stood by the window and used to look down over the road over the frosting and sometimes I'd see her. In the evening I marked it in my observations diary, at first with X, and then when I knew her name with M.
- Well, then there was the bit in the local paper about the scholarship she'd won and how clever she was, and her name as beautiful as herself, Miranda. So I knew she was up in London studying art. It really made a difference, that newspaper article. It seemed like we became more intimate, although of course we still did not know each other in the ordinary way.
I can't say what it was, the very first time I saw her, I knew she was the only one. Of course I am not mad, I knew it was just a dream and it always would have been if it hadn't been for the money. I used to have daydreams about her, I used to think of stories where I met her, did things she admired, married her and all that. Nothing nasty, that was never until what I'll explain later.
- I know what I am to him. A butterfly he has always wanted to catch. I remember (the very first time I met him) G.P. saying that collectors were the worst animals of all. He meant art collectors, of course. I didn't really understand, I thought he was just trying to shock Caroline — and me. But of course, he is right. They're anti-life, anti-art, anti-everything.
- He's so slow, so unimaginative, so lifeless. Like zinc white. I see it's a sort of tyranny he has over me. He forces me to be changeable, to act. To show off. The hateful tyranny of weak people.
- Everything free and decent in life is being locked away in filthy little cellars by beastly people who don't care.
- I don't think the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament has much chance of actually affecting the government. It's one of the first things you have to face up to. But we do it to keep our self-respect to show to ourselves, each one to himself or herself, that we care. And to let other people, all the lazy, sulky, hopeless ones like you, know that someone cares. We're trying to shame you into thinking about it, about acting.
The Aristos (1964)Edit
- Most marriages recognize this paradox: Passion destroys passion; we want what puts an end to wanting what we want.
- ...even more ominous … is the fact that since the Second World War a new kind of intellectual has emerged in large numbers. … he is only minimally interested in the proper intellectual significance of images and objects. Such people are not really intellectuals, but visuals … A visual is more interested in style than in content … A visual does not feel a rioting crowd being machine-gunned by the police, he simply sees a brilliant news photograph.
- The artefacts of a genius are distinguished by rich human content, for which he forges new images and new techniques, creates new styles. He sees himself as a unique eruption in the desert of the banal. He feels himself mysteriously inspired or possessed. The craftsman, on the other hand, is content to use the traditional materials and techniques. The more self-possessed he is, the better craftsman he will be. What pleases him is skill of execution. He is very concerned with his contemporary success, his market value. If a certain kind of political commitment is fashionable, he may be committed; but out of fashion, not conviction. The genius, of course, is largely indifferent to contemporary success; and his commitment to his ideals, both artistic and political, is profoundly, Byronically, indifferent to their contemporary popularity.
The Magus (1965)Edit
- Boston: Little, Brown 1977 edition and New York: Modern Library 1998 edition
- There's a card in the Tarot pack called The Magus. The magician, conjuror. Two of his traditional symbols are the lily and the rose.
- Introduction (1977 edition)
- A novelist has to enter deeper exile still. In most outward ways the experience was depressive, as many young would-be writers and painters who have ever gone to Greece have discovered. We used to have a nickname for the sense of inadequacy and accidie it produced – the 'Aegean blues'. One has to be a very complete artist to create good work among the purest and most balanced landscapes on the planet…The Greece of the Islands is Circe still; no place for the artist-voyager to linger long, if he cares for his soul.
- Introduction (1977 edition)
- Years later I saw the gabbia at Piacenza; a harsh black canary-cage strung up high the side of the the towering campanile, in which prisoners were once left to starve to death and rot in full view of the town below. And looking up at it, I remembered that winter in Greece, that Gabbia I had constructed for myself out of light, solitude and self-delusions. My feelings at the end of that wretched term, were those of a man who knows he is in a cage, exposed to the jeers of all his old ambitions until he dies.
- Introduction (1977 edition)
- I do not defend Conchis' decision at the execution, but I defend the reality of the dilemma. God and freedom are totally anti-pathetic concepts; and men believe in their imaginary gods most often because they are afraid to believe in the other thing. I am old enough to realise now that they do sometimes with good reason. True freedom lies between each two, never in one alone, and therefore is never absolute freedom.
- Introduction (1977 edition)
- If there was some central theme beneath the (more Irish than Greek) stew of intuitions about the nature of human existence – and of fiction – it is perhaps in the alternative title, whose rejection I still sometimes regret: The Godgame. I did intend Conchis to exhibit a series of masks representing human notions of God, from the supernatural to the jargon-ridden scientific, that is, a series of human illusions about something that does not exist in fact, absolute knowledge and absolute power. The destruction of such illusions seems to me still an eminently humanist aim; and I wish there were some super-Conchis who could put the Arabs and the Israelis, or the Ulster Catholics and Protestants, through the same heuristic mill as Nicholas.
- Introduction (1977 edition)
- It must essentially remain a novel of adolescence written by a retarded adolescent.
- Introduction (1977 edition)
- If a person is intelligent, then of course he is either an agnostic or an atheist. Just as he is a physical coward. They are automatic definitions of high intelligence.
- Ch. 17
- Duty largely consists of pretending that the trivial is critical.
- Ch. 18
- That is the truth. Not the hammer and sickle. Not the stars and stripes. Not the cross. Not the sun. Not gold. Not yin and yang. But the smile.
- Ch. 21
- The mess of my life, the selfishnesses and false turnings and the treacheries, all these things could fall into place, they could become a source of construction rather than a source of chaos, and precisely because I had no other choice.
- Ch. 27
- By this sinister elision, this slipping from true remorse, the belief that the suffering we have precipitated ought to ennoble us, or at least make us less ignoble from then on, to disguised self-forgiveness, the belief that suffering in some way ennobles life, so that the precipitation of pain comes, by such a cockneyed algebra, to equal the ennoblement, or at any rate the enrichment, of life, by this characteristically twentieth-century retreat from content into form, from meaning into appearance, from ethics into aesthetics, from aqua into unda, I dulled the pain of that accusing death; and hardened myself, to say nothing of it at Bourani. I was still determined to tell Julie, but at the right time and place, when the exchange rate between confession and the sympathy it evoked looked very likely to be high.
- Ch. 52
The Ebony Tower (1974)Edit
- Paint. Just paint. This is my advice. And leave the clever talk to the poor sods who can't.
- The princess calls, but there is no one, now, to hear her.
- The tender pragmatisms of flesh have poetries no enigma - human or divine - can deminish or demean. Indeed, it can only cause them, and then walk out.
Daniel Martin (1977)Edit
- I was born in 1927, the only child of middle-class parents, both English, and themselves born in the grotesquely elongated shadow, which they never rose sufficiently above history to leave, of that monstrous dwarf Queen Victoria.
- Ch. 1, p. 1
- Narcissism: when one grows too old to believe in one's uniqueness, one falls in love with one's complexity.
- Ch. 2, Games
- He liked to be popular and in place of charm had to dispense alcohol…
- (The staff common room) was real boredom, not just modish ennui. Boredom, the numbing annual predictability of life, hung over the staff like a cloud. From it flowed cant, hypocrisy, and the impotent rage of the old who know they have failed and the young who suspect they will fail. The senior masters stood like Gallows sermons; with some of them one had a sort of vertigo, a glimpse of the bottomless pit of human futility...a sere notifier of what is.
- I was too green to know that all cynicism masks a failure to cope – an impotence, in short and to despise all effort is the greatest effort of all...
- I didn't know at that time Emily Dickinson's great definition, her 'Publication is not the business of poets'; being a poet is all, being known as a poet is nothing.
- I was not a poet. I felt no consolation in this knowledge, but only a red anger that evolution could allow such sensitivity and such inadequacy to coexist in the same mind. In one ego, my ego, screaming like a hare caught in a gin.
- One kind of person is engaged in society without realizing it; another kind engages in society by controlling it. The one is a gear, a cog, and the other an engineer, a driver. But a person who has opted out has only his ability to express his disengagement between his existence and nothingness. Not cogito, but scribo, ergo sum.
- I hated myself. I had created nothing, I belonged to nothingness, to the néant, and it seemed to me that my own death was the only thing that I could create; and still, even then, I thought it might accuse everyone who had ever known me. It would validate all my cynicism, it would prove all my solitary selfishness; it would stand, and be remembered, as a final dark victory.
- All the time I felt I was being watched, that I was not alone, that I was putting on an act for the benefit of someone, that this action could be done only if it was spontaneous, pure – and moral. Because more and more it crept through my mind with the chill spring night that I was trying to commit not a moral action, but a fundamentally aesthetic one; to do something that would end my life sensationally, significantly, consistently. It was a Mercutio death I was looking for, not a real one. A death to be remembered, not the true death of a true suicide, the death obliterate.
- I saw that I was from now on, for ever, contemptible. I had been and remained, intensely depressed, but I had also been, and always would be, intensely false; in existentialist terms, inauthentic. I knew I would never kill myself, I knew I would always want to go on living with myself, however hollow I became, however diseased.
- Her voice was completely English. For some reason I had expected a foreign accent; but I could place this exactly. It was my own; product of boarding school, university, the accent of what a sociologist once called the Dominant Hundred Thousand.
- We were equally tired, in mid-century, of cold sanity and hot blasphemy; of the over-cerebral and of the over-faecal; the way out lay somewhere else. Words had lost their power, either for good or for evil; still hung, like a mist, over the reality of action, distorting, misleading, castrating; but at least since Hitler and Hiroshima they were seen to be a mist, a flimsy superstructure.
- The battle was over. Our casualties were some thirteen thousand killed--thirteen thousand minds, memories, loves, sensations, worlds, universes--because the human mind is more a universe than the universe itself--and all for a few hundred yards of useless mud.
- I saw that this cataclysm must be an expiation for some barbarous crime of civilisation, some terrible human lie. What the lie was, I had too little knowledge of history to know then. I now know it was our believing that we were fulfilling some end, serving some plan, - that all would come out well in the end, because there was some great plan over all. Instead of the reality. There is no plan. All is hazard. And the only thing that will preserve us is ourselves.
- If you are wise you will never pity the past for what it did not know, but pity yourself for what it did.
- There are people who have an instinctive yet perfect moral judgment, who can perform the most complex ethical calculations like an Indian peasant can sometimes perform astounding mathematical feats in a matter of seconds. Lily was such a person. I craved her approval.
- I am talking about the general psychological health of the species, man. He needs the existence of mysteries, not their solution.
- She seemed older to me, over-experienced by travel; needing to be learnt again, and I hadn't the energy.
- She had a kind of genius for picking the wrong man. She always looked for poetry and passion and sensitivity, the whole romantic kitchen, whereas I lived by a simpler diet, prose and pudding. I don't expect attractive men to have attractive souls.
- The writing was impeccably neat and legible though rather crabbed into the centre of the page; I saw a neat crabbed man behind it. Presumably some sort of retreat, one of those desiccated young Catholics that used to mince around Oxford when I was an undergraduate.
- The dinner that evening was dreadful, the epitome of English vacuity...they were all the same, each mind set in the same weird armour, like an archosaur's ruff, like a fringe of icicles. All I heard the whole evening was the tinkle of broken ice-needles as people tried timidly and vainly to reach through the stale fence of words, tinkle, tinkle, and then withdraw. Nobody behaved with breadth, with warmth, with naturalness, and finally it became pathetic. We were all the same; I hardly said anything, but that made me no more innocent – or less conditioned. The solemn figures of the Old Country, the Queen, the Public School, Oxbridge, the Right Accent, People Like Us, stood around the table like secret police, ready to crush down in an instant on any attempt at an intelligent European humanity.* We…were held by those cloud-grey shapes on the world's blue rim. Death machines holding thousands of gum-chewing, contraceptive-carrying men; for some reason more 30 years away than 30 miles; as if we were looking into the future, not the south; into a world where there were no more Prosperos, no private domains, no Poetries, fantasies, tender sexual promises...I felt acutely the fragility of time itself...
- Perhaps the clue lay in indispensibility. I was being taught some obscure metaphysical lesson about the place of man in existence, about the limitations of the egocentric view...
- It. Is. Not. Ended. There was just the trace of a humourless smile on his face; and more than a trace of menace. As if he meant something more than that there was a sequel to this scene; but that the whole Nazi weltanschaaung to be, resurrected and realised. He was an impressively iron man...
- To my horror I began to cry...a great cloud of black guilt, knowledge of my atrocious selfishness, settled on me. One day she had said "when you love me (and she had not meant 'make love to me') it's as if God forgave me for being the mess I am"; and I took it as chicanery, another emotional blackmail, to make me feel essential and give me a sense of responsibility towards her...My monstrous crime was Adam's, the oldest and most vicious of all – male selfishness...Something far worse than lèse majesté. Lèse-humanité.
- "You sound like a certain kind of surgeon. A lot more interested in the operation than the patient."
"I should not be in the hands of a surgeon who did not take that view."
- All good science is art. And all good art is science.
- I played him the Goldberg Variations. If one wishes to reduce a sensitive German to tears there is no surer lachrymatory.
- I did not like the colonel at all. He had eyes like razors…the eyes of a machine. An educated machine… I realised he was drinking less than we were…And that he was playing with me. That he was a realist… Also that Anton was careless with his tongue...
- There was a bright wind, it was a Dufy day, all bustle, movement, animated colour..
- Once again fear, and mystery, swept over me...I was infinitely far from home. The profoundest distances are never geographical...
- Hypotheses pinned me down, as Gulliver was pinned by the countless threads of the Lilliputians...
- So I strode down to the school like some vengence-brewing chieftain in an Icelandic saga...
- Though not large it had a certain elegance; a pilastered portico, windows with graceful pediments. The whitewashed façade was in shadow, a palid blue against the evening sky's pale blue.
- I still couldn't accept that this was not some nightmare, like some freak misbinding in a book, a Lawrence novel become, at the turn of a page, one by Kafka.
- I felt both a state of envy and contempt. The yacht itself was not vulgar, but I smelt something vulgar about owning it...A few moments later I set off back to my dull daily penal colony of an existence on the far side of the dream, as Adam left the Garden of Eden perhaps…except I knew there were no Gods, and nothing was going to bar my return...
- Pois eisai? She wanted to know. Pou pas? The old Homeric questions of the Greek peasant. Who art thou? Where goest thou?
- By this characteristically twentieth century retreat from content into form, from meaning into appearance, from ethics into aesthetics, from aqua into unda, I dulled the pain of accusing death, and hardened myself.
- Utram bibis? Aquam an undam?

We Are Learning 3D Printing Through Our Personal Experience…
The Orbi-Tech LayBrick is another interesting 3D filament that allows you to print models that look and feel like they are made from stone and not from plastic. This 3D printer filament is very similar to the Orbi-Tech LayWoo-d3 that we've recently also tested, however instead of wood we have a stone-like effect of the printed models. To be more precise the LayBrick 3D printer filament creates prints that look more like ceramic material when smoother or more like sandstone when the print is rougher, depending on the temperature you use for printing. The filament is apparently made from thermoplastic polymer combined with very fine milled chalk powder. It is apparently designed to be printed with extruder temperatures ranging from about 165°C to above 210°C, but we are going to be testing to see how the different temperature affects the result. The LayBrick filament doe snot require a heated build platform, so it should work on pretty much any standard printer made to work with PLA filament. The thermoplastic used as binding material for the chalk powder should be stable up to about 70 degrees Celsius temperature according to the specifications for the LayBrick, so pretty much the same as for most PLA filaments. Other manufacturer recommendations are to use a layer-thickness from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, max infill of 25%, and to wait some time for the material to harden before you remove it from the build platform after the printing is finished.
The LayBrick, similar to the LayWoo-d3 3D printer filament, should also be handled carefully when you load it and unload it to the printing head as it is easier to break than standard PLA,, but unlike the wooden-like material the stone-like one LayBrick did not cause us any jams of the extruder. The fact that we did not have trouble with the filament jamming the extruder is because it seems that the chalk powder is finer than the wood particles and higher temperature does not affect chalk like the wood. When printing our test simple house with LayBrick the temperature range and results turned out to be pretty similar to what we got when using LayWoo-d3, you can see the results from our test prints on the photo above. We have used our MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer using the Standard setting for 0.2 mm layer height and 60 mm/s speed while extruding with temperatures of 160, 180, 200, 230 and 250 degrees Celsius. As you can see on the photo with the printed examples using lower temperatures such as 160 and 180 degrees Celsius the surface looks smoother and the layers are harder to distinguish, going up to 200 degrees produces good results in terms of the look and feel of the printed model. Going for higher temperatures such as 230 (the standard we use for PLA) or even higher up to 250 degrees Celsius results in not so even layers, but that can be used as an advantage and effect should you need to have this kind of effect on purpose.
The Orbi-Tech LayBrick, much like the LayWoo-d3 3D printer filament is an interesting experimental product that when handled properly can help you make some really nice prints should you need a wood-like or stone-like look and feel. These filaments need a little more care when handling and when the print is finished you may want to wait a few minutes for them to harden before you remove them from the print bed. The ability to achieve different look of the printed part when using different temperature when printing can also be quite useful for people that want to play with these, especially for artists that want to make more original and attractive 3D printed materials. We definitely like the results we got and after testing these materials for a bit and now know how to handle then and with what settings to print. LayBrick and LayWoo-d3 filaments however do remain a more niche products that may be great to have if you need the kind of look and feel they provide, but that probably won't be very often for most people. The price of these filaments is also a bit steep compared to more traditional and widely used materials, so doing large 3D prints may turn out to be pretty expensive, never the less if this is the kind of effect you need for a project there is not much you can do.

Stockton-to-Malone Week: Top 10 Plays
August 8, 2010
Days from now, Karl Malone will join John Stockton and Jerry Sloan in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Let's fete and honor the greatest duo in NBA history with Stockton-to-Malone Week. S2M Week is brought to you by my digital pack ratting, est. circa 1995.
Watch for:
1) The wicked road warmups the Jazz sported back in the day (#6)
2) Sweet Malone-to-Stockton pass (#5)
3) The Pass. Naturally. (#2)
4) The Shot. It's not the Greg Gumbel version that we usually hear, however ("Yes! John Stockton sends the Utah Jazz to the NBA Finals!" aka my SMS alert tone). It's Hot Rod, and he's so emotional that his voice is breaking all over the place. It's great. (#1)

I want to show you my first castle after my "dark ages": PurpleHills!
It's not the newest, but I found this forum only a few days bevor.
In the big tower at the left corner of the castle I have build two trap-doors:
With the one an enemy falls thru the wall outside of the castle, with the other you can reach the bottomarea of the tower with the hidden door behind the rock.
Each floor of this big tower you can lift of, to watch inside.
I hope you like my work, and if you want to see more please visit "PurpleHills" on brickshelf:
Please excuse the bad quality of some pictures, they are a littlebit to big and some are blurred. Next time it would be better.

Exploring how people throughout the globe have improved their lives through civic engagement is the focus of the Batalden Seminar in Applied Ethics. Susan E. Pick, professor of psychology at the National University of Mexico, will speak at 10 a.m., Wednesday, February 20 in Hoversten Chapel.
Pick's lecture, "I want to, I can: Development Programs Step-by-Step Using the Human Capabilities Approach," will focus on the Yo quiero, yo puedo (I want to, I can) development programs, which have reached more than 19 million people in Mexico and another 14 countries, most of them in Latin America.
She was chosen as the Batalden Seminar speaker based upon her insight as an academic and an activist.
"Susan Pick exemplifies Augsburg's mission of becoming an engaged citizen in a global context, and she will assist students in thinking about their own vocations," said Matt Maruggi, assistant professor of religion and the Batalden Faculty Scholar in Applied Ethics. "She is a professor and is directly involved in work with society's poor and vulnerable. The Yo quiero, yo puedo programs have helped more than 19 million people worldwide."
The lecture will demonstrate, through testimonies, how people have been improved the quality of their lives by making specific behavior changes. Pick also will share how individuals have become agents of change in their communities in four areas: education, health, citizenship, and productivity.
Following the Convocation, Pick will join students for a luncheon and will also be speaking in classes in a broad range of disciplines including women's studies, social work, and political science.

Researchers at the University of Toronto, St. Michael's Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have discovered a previously unidentified form of circulation within the human eye which may provide important new insights into glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness.
For over a century, the eye has been considered to lack lymphatics, a circulation responsible for pumping fluid and waste out of tissues. The inability to clear that fluid from the eye is linked to glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness affecting over 66 million people worldwide.
"We challenged this assumption about a lack of lymphatics and discovered specialized lymphatic channels in the human eye," said Prof. Yeni Yücel, a pathologist-scientist in U of T's Faculty of Medicine and St. Michael's Hospital, and lead author of the study which appears in the current issue of Experimental Eye Research.
Glaucoma is a degenerative disease believed to be caused by the death of nerve cells at the back of the eye and in vision centers of the brain. It is often associated with elevated pressure in the eye. Current treatments for glaucoma rely on eye drops or surgery to lower eye pressure either by reducing fluid formation or improving fluid drainage from the eye.
"Good vision depends on the stable flow of fluid into and out of the eye. Any disturbance of this delicate fluid balance can lead to high eye pressure and irreversible glaucoma damage," said study co-author Dr. Neeru Gupta, Director of the Glaucoma Unit and Nerve Protection Unit at St. Michael's Hospital and Professor of Ophthalmology at U of T.
The lymphatic circulation, distinct from blood circulation, carries a colorless fluid called, lymph containing extra water, proteins and antigens through lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes and then to the blood stream. This circulation is critical for the drainage of the fluid from tissues, clearance of proteins and immune monitoring of the tissue.
Using molecular tools and three-dimensional reconstruction, the team of researchers identified a rich network of lymphatic channels in the ciliary body of the human eye. These studies were confirmed by electron microscopy.
The discovery of a lymphatic circulation in the eye overthrows the idea that the eye is an immune privileged site due to the lack of lymphatics and has major implications for understanding eye inflammations and eye tumor spread, among other eye disorders.
"This 'uveolymphatic' circulation plays a role in the clearance of fluid from the eye, making it highly relevant to glaucoma. This discovery is exciting because it means we can focus on innovative treatment strategies for patients with glaucoma by specifically targeting this new circulation to lower eye pressure," said Dr. Gupta.
According to the researchers, future studies will be directed at better understanding how to manipulate the lymphatic circulation in the eye. "It's clear that if we want to develop new strategies to prevent blindness, we need to challenge existing beliefs, and hopefully open the door to new treatments for eye disease," said Prof. Yücel, who also serves as Director of the Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory in U of T's Department of Ophthalmology and research Scientist at the Keenan Research Center at Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, SMH.
Glaucoma is expected to affect 80 million people worldwide by 2020. Although the disease can affect anybody, those with elevated eye pressure, the elderly, blacks and persons with a family member with glaucoma are at greatest risk. Other risk factors that may be associated with glaucoma include diabetes, high blood pressure and near-sightedness.
This study was a collaboration between the University of Toronto and two fully-affiliated hospitals: St. Michael's Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Other co-authors include Miles G. Johnston, Professor Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology and scientist at Neuroscience Program, Sunnybrook Hospital, Tina Ly, Manoj Patel, Ersin Gümüş, Stephan A. Fraenkl and Eva Horvath from SMH, and Brian Drake, Sara Moore, Dalia Tobbia, Dianne Armstrong from Sunnybrook Hospital Research Institute. This research was supported by this work was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (85053), Nicky And Thor Eaton Fund, The Dorothy Pitts Fund, and Henry Farrugia Fund.

Kare wrote: I don't know what you are referring to here. A nexus? In Pali the whole phrase is one composite word: surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā. And all of the elements are nouns. So I'm sorry, but I see no basis for your analysis.
Hi Kare
I'm sure that you're aware that the compound occurs as 2 slightly different variants in the various editions, ie surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāna and surāmerayamajjappamādaṭṭhāna. The former (based on a word count in the Burmese edition) is more frequently encountered than the latter. I take the presence of the undoubled "p" to be evidence that this compound started life as 2 separate compounds, and that the doubled "p" form is part of the ongoing evolution of the redaction. That is how I parsed the compound into 2 distinct compounds.
I take surāmerayamajja to be an aggregative compound, while the pamādaṭṭhāna is a bahubbīhi compound. The bahubbīhi would thus be an attributive/"adjectival" compound, notwithstanding that it is made up of nouns. The attribute would then stand in that relation to the nouns (surāmerayamajja). I put this into the class of bahubbīhis dealt with by Warder under Bahubbīhi Compounds (I), p.137 and how this fits into his syntactical analysis of the nexus at p.61.
The Comy parse of pamādaṭṭhāna also suggests that it was treated as an attributive bahubbīhi -
Just out of curiosity, how would you translate the original compound?Surāmerayamajjappamādaṭṭhānānuyogoti ettha surāti piṭṭhasurā pūvasurā odanasurā kiṇṇapakkhittā sambhārasaṃyuttāti pañca surā. Merayanti pupphāsavo phalāsavo madhvāsavo guḷāsavo sambhārasaṃyuttoti pañca āsavā. Taṃ sabbampi madakaraṇavasena majjaṃ. Pamādaṭṭhānanti pamādakāraṇaṃ.

SAN FRANCISCO — Sergio Garcia's request that the state Supreme Court grant him a law license was met with resistance and skepticism by several justices because he is living in the United States illegally.
A federal law bars the use of public funds to benefit residents living here illegally. The arguments before the state high court Wednesday morning boiled down to whether taxpayer dollars will be used in the licensing of Garcia.
The state Supreme Court is in charge of licensing lawyers. The Obama administration argues since the court is operated with public money, it is barred from licensing Garcia.
Garcia's lawyer and the California State Bar argued otherwise, insisting that the court was not covered by the law because of the specific authority it has to grant law licenses.

Chalk is a type of limestone. Air and water do not wear chalk away easily, so when chalk is next to the sea, it often makes a large cliff. The "White Cliffs of Dover" in Kent, England are a good example of this. When chalk is near the top of the ground, it often makes chalk hills. Chalk holds water, so these chalk hills have a lot of water in them, and when the weather is very dry, water comes slowly from the chalk. Chalk is mostly formed from the calcareous (CaCO3) skeletons of countless tiny planktonic algae called coccoliths. It was laid down in the Upper Cretaceous period.
Blackboard chalk is not real chalk. It is really gypsum (calcium sulfate), but often people call it "chalk". People use it for drawing on hard things, because it is soft. If this chalk is rubbed on something hard or rough, it will leave a mark. People often write with chalk on a chalkboard or blackboard. A chalk eraser or water can be used to clean the chalk marks away so the board is blank again. Shops usually sell blackboard chalk in sticks that are about 5 cm long.
There are also big pieces of soft chalk for children to write on the ground with, for example on concrete (such as a sidewalk) or on asphalt (such as a driveway). It is usually okay to write on the ground with this kind of chalk, because the rain will wash the chalk away.
Tailors' chalk is not real chalk either. It is really talc (magnesium silicate). Tailors use it to draw on material when they are making clothes.
People in the military say a chalk is when an aeroplane is carrying a special load, especially a group of soldiers in a single aeroplane. "U.S. Army Ranger Chalk Four" was a group that was hurt in the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia.

Marines Killed on Base from Calif., Missouri, La.
SAN DIEGO (AP) - The four bomb removal technicians killed at Camp Pendleton included two Marines from California, one from Louisiana and one from Missouri.
The Marine Corps released the names Thursday night of the Marines killed while clearing unexploded ordnance at the base Wednesday.
The two Californians killed were 28-year-old Staff Sgt. Mathew R. Marsh of Long Beach, who had been a Marine since 2003, and 27-year-old Sgt. Miguel Ortiz of Vista, a Marine since 2006.
Also killed were 31-year-old Gunnery Sgt. J. Mullins of Bayou L'Ourse, La., an 11-year Marine Corps veteran, and 32-year-old Staff Sgt. Eric W. Summers of Poplar Bluff, Mo., who has been in the Marine Corps for 13 years.
The Corps also said one Navy Hospital Corpsman and two Marines near the accident had minor injuries.

From 2008 through the end of last year, I worked at Microsoft Global Procurement Group in the team that defines, shapes and executes its contingent workforce procurement strategy.
Expanding a program outside the U.S. is more than just a "copy and paste" exercise; besides the obvious differences in regulations and local market dynamics, one needs to consider established relationships, local business practices and specific needs from the will help shape the right model that will be not only relevant to the local ecosystem but deliver recognized value to the end-user.
A key driver to delivering that value is its supply chain itself: YOU, the supplier! There are specific things the supplier can do to successfully expand with your customer.
Get on the Radar
Each new contingent workforce program implementation is usually the perfect moment for program managers to review and re-evaluate the supplier list.
Typically, our MSP will provide a short list based on its existing portfolio. However, I would look across our existing programs and relationships to identify which niche agencies have cross-border ambitions or already have a multi-geography footprint that is relevant to us.
But how can you be a part of the contingent workforce program's preferred supply chain to begin with?
Here are a few key steps:
- Be prepared. Prior to engaging with an MSP and/or a client, make sure that you have a robust strategic expansion plan and a local tactical plan you can share with your client.
- Be patient. Refresh your existing footprint, capabilities and expansion plans and share those with your MSP/client annually. You may not be enrolled overnight, but a healthy contingent workforce program manages its preferred supply chain (PSL) dynamically, thus the "right moment" will come.
- Acknowledge relevance. If you are a research and development tech agency expanding in a location where client only has sales staff, your offering may not be relevant. But if you have online or marketing capabilities, they'd love to hear from you!
Global, Local & Tiering
Microsoft uses a tiering structure, which enables us to manage the legacy effectively while minimizing disruption. We'll put expensive, uncooperative agencies on reserve, so that we can accommodate active workers until they can be phased out. Some agencies actually reconnect after a couple of months as they understand our program better — managed services is fairly new in most of the globe.
Tiering also enables us to reward successful agencies: Tier 1 is for the stars, tier 2 for the active but not quite there yet. This system enables a dynamic management with limited hassle.
Tiering also enables us to cast the net wide to new providers while limiting risks, especially at the onset of the program. We actually uncovered some hidden gems with this approach.
In practice, once you get on the PSL, you know the drill. However, as we need to ensure that our contingent workforce program is relevant locally, so do you!
In order to succeed in your own expansion with us, you'll need to do your homework. Some key steps:
- Culture & lingo. Accelerate your knowledge of your customer by tapping your own teams to understand soft skills that are critical for your customer in the next location you plan to deploy in.
- Needs and drivers. Leverage the MSP's events to understand your customer's needs and local business drivers.
- One face. As an MSP account manager, I value having one key person I can engage for various reasons: market insights, operations issues or questions.
- Stay focused. If you are new to a market, define your own objectives and stick to them; if you dilute your effort, you may dilute your visibility and lose credibility.
It is in both the provider and customer's interest to grow business relationships; reliable partners in a contingent workforce program are critical for its credibility and sustainability. So engage now with your client or MSP and make sure you have done your homework.

And the original post: I am beginning to realise that at least once a year, I use this blog to tell off fanatics. So far, it has been Islamist nut-jobs who got offended by my piece on Salman Rushdie. Then some time later, I wrote about Mumbai and Rohinton Mistry and some Hindu fundamentalists (what an oxymoron that is!) were equally offended. Both these links here will take you to what I wrote in those instances.
Last week I tweeted about Gilad Atzmon's new book and that has apparently offended some Zionist club of fanatics. Apparently, according to tweets and blogs and other online fora where these fanatics dwell, my reading of a book by a dissident Israeli brands me an "anti-Semite", a Holocaust denier and/or a Nazi supporter.
Full disclosure: I know Gilad professionally as we share the same literary agent although by no stretch of imagination can we be considered friends. I like his music and respect his writing and political convictions although there are many points of disagreement as well. And we are bound by our mutual respect and affection for Shimon Tzabar, the literary legend and human being par excellence (and one of the few utterly moral people I have had the privilege of knowing).
What I wrote for Rushdie applies now to the Zionist nut-jobs accusing me of anti-Semitism, and beautifully demonstrating their own narrow-minded, ignorant racism in their comments. I will not repeat all of that piece as you can check the link above if you really care to learn but I will make a specific point.
Of the many Zionist accusations, the one I find most ridiculous is the one where I am apparently 'playing to a Muslim audience.' It shows the ignorance and idiocy of my Zionist accusers who see a brown woman with an exotic name and assume she must be a Muslim. So for the record, let me repeat what I wrote to the Islamist nut-jobs way back when and redirect it to my Zionist accusers (Aside: hilarious how Anton Block's narcissism of minor differences applies so well to both):
As a Hindu, I grew up in a household where books were kissed (like Rushdie's household). But more importantly, I also grew up in a home where pens, notebooks, and more recently - with typically Hindu logic – laptops are worshipped. Every year on Diwali, you see, we are required to offer prayers to Durga – the goddess of war – and to our weapons that she is believed to embody and inhabit. In my childhood, my family would clean and polish old swords, spears, revolvers and rifles on every Diwali. And at midnight, these weapons would be placed on the altar and anointed with kumkum, turmeric, ghee. We would conduct an aarti, the polished metal of the weapons gleaming through the fragrant smoke of diyas and agarbattis.
While I was still a child, my grandmother began the tradition of placing our schoolbooks and pens on the altar instead of weapons. She said that in the coming world, these would be our weapons. That tradition endures and to this day, I place my laptop, even draft manuscripts, on the altar on Diwali. It is a tradition I plan to uphold and live for the rest of my life.
The point I am making is simple: keep those threats and hate mails coming!
I am not about to back down from saying what I believe. And I am not about to back down from fighting for what I believe. And I am not – like some writers – about to "self-censor" my writing because some pathetic, cowardly, creature out there may be offended.
This is not about Rushdie or Mistry or Atzmon! This is about my right to words, stories, opinions. And I will be damned if I let go of those without a fight!
A final point to note: fanatics are not only to be found on all ends of the spectrum, but they also show the same lack of imagination when it comes to the depth of their arguments. Good to know that there is a meeting point for fanatics of all ilk somewhere even though its marked by an acute absence of intelligence and imagination.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Genoil, the developer of the Ethminer fork with Nvidia CUDA support (source) has implemented some updates to the code of the project contributed by SP and tpruvot that reduce the load on the CPU when the miner is running. Also the default worksize has been increased form 64 to 128, but other than that there should be no changes affecting the performance of the miner. The reduction of CPU usage may come at the cost of slight hashrate drop, but there is a command line parameter now that you can use to stick with the higher CPU load and get the slightly higher performance
--high-cpu-load, so it is up to you to decide. We have updated our package with Geth and Ethminer for OpenCL and CUDA with the latest version of the Ethminer CUDA binary for Windows (requires 64-bit Windows), so you can download and try it. The Ethminer CUDA fork should work on Compute 2.0 or newer GPUs, we have tested it with a Compute 2.1 and it is working fine, but don't forget that you can run Ethminer in OpenCL mode as well on Nvidia-based video cards and not only on AMD if you are having trouble with the CUDA support or the hashrate you get is lower as compared to OpenCL.
– Download the updated Ethminer CUDA fork compiled for Windows and ready to be used…

Good day to y'all!
The eclectic dj wizard Lowdjo from Brussels is at it again with a fresh mix, inspired by the Turkish 'Anadolu' psychedelic rock sound from the 70′s. That and, as the title suggests, triggered by the sampling notions of Gonjasufi's 2010 record on Warp.
Listen up, you can still download it if you're quick!
The uploading of the mix wasn't without a struggle either. Here's what Lowdjo has to say about it;
A Turk And A Killer .. some words ..
Last summer I listened to a lot of psychedelic music from all over the world. One of the 'scenes' I really got into was the Turkish 'Anadolu'-rock scene.
While listening to a lot of these fuzzy tracks I was really surprised when I discovered that quite some tracks released by The Gaslamp Killer & Gonjasufi are so close to the original Turkish songs… they're just slightly altered, edited and have a voice-over by Kutmah.
I was even more surprised when I tried to upload this recording onto Soundcloud and it got blocked for "copyright infringement". I got a message that said my mixtape was recognised as "The Gaslamp Killer – Kobwebs" and belonged to the rightsholder Milan Records.
After submitting my counter notice and waiting for a week, I contacted Soundcloud again and explained them that the whole idea of this mixtape is to shake up the discussion about copyright, sampling, etc… I even send them links to videos from both tracks so they could compare.
Today, it's been a month…. and still no word. So I taught I'll try fooling the new 'copyright-robot' at Soundcloud by just putting an excerpt from Cassetteboy's Parker Tapes at the start of the mix, upload this and see what happens. And yes……. this time no problem with getting my favorite Turks online!
Enjoy the m!x and spread da word ;-)
Apparently Soundcloud is now also hunting down fans/djs who are mixing up James Blake 'Limit To Your Love'…. There's something fishy about Soundcloud making such decisions and blocking the mashups & remixes of people who have all made the website such a big in the last few years.
The eclectic mashup femme DJ Ripley wrote a really interesting post about it on her blog with the title; walling off another garden. Also WayneandWax did a good post about internet content copyright earlier in december; platform politricks.
You had some of your mixes, remixes of mashes rejected by Soundcloud? Speak up and spread the word!
Want to know where all the Gonjasufi samples came from?
