The first six innovations selected for the Sanitation Innovation Accelerator 2016 have been formally introduced at a special gathering of water and sanitation experts and investment mentors.
Delhi | May 30, 2016 16:30 IST: The Sanitation Innovation Accelerator 2016 (SIA'16) had its official Launch Event at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi on 25 May 2016. The Sanitation Innovation Accelerator 2016 is a unique nationwide search for inclusive and sustainable solutions for rural sanitation in India. The first batch of the accelerator is a step towards a much larger program of providing an organised platform to identify, start up, finance and scale sanitation innovations in India.
Prior to the launch, a three-day boot camp was held for the cohort at the TARU office, New Delhi from 23 - 25 May 2016. The boot camp involved a workshop on understanding the larger sanitation sector challenges. The members, through different modes, had sessions on elements of business models and the need to work on each of these elements. The sessions culminated with understanding and prioritizing areas for the capacity building for each of the members for the next 8 weeks. The boot camp was also an opportunity for the cohort to discuss their innovations and clarify any doubts they had regarding the accelerator program.
According to Vipul Kumar, Global Director Clients at Ennovent and one of the core team members of the accelerator "the accelerator has received very encouraging response both from innovators as well as from various stakeholders in the sector. We are very excited to have a very promising cohort representing innovations from across the rural sanitation value chain led by committed and inspiring entrepreneurs. We had a very engaging three-day boot camp followed by the launch event last week. We are looking forward to an intensive 8-weeks capacity building program that follows immediately. We have learnt greatly about the potential of sustainable innovation in the rural sanitation value chain in India and looking forward to further collaborations to design and implement programs to drive innovations in the sector.
Mr. Swapnil Chaturvedi also known as 'Poop Guy' from Samagra was the keynote speaker for the Event. According to him, "Entrepreneurship in sanitation is a very challenging space and one needs to conduct social experiments to look for innovative solutions". This was followed by a speech by the Guest of Honour, Mr Sujoy Mozumdar, WASH Specialist, UNICEF India and former director of Swacch Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Campaign). Mr. Mozumdar informed the audience that sanitation has always been looked at from the supply side i.e. run and monitored by the Government, as the space for others to get involved is not very clear.
The next session on "Moving Forward: Planning the next steps towards sustainability" started with the launch of the new website for SIA 2016 while taking the audience through the journey of the accelerator program and planned next steps. It was followed shortly by the introduction of the SIA Cohort 2016 with a 5-Minute Pitch by each of the 6 finalists. The participants for the May-August 2016 Batch were - 3S - a Saraplast Enterprise, Nidan, Garv Toilets, Youth Aid Global Services Pvt. Ltd, Bharti Women Development Centre (BWDC) and WATSAN Envirotech Pvt. Ltd.
A panel of sectoral experts were invited to provide feedback on the pitch highlighting the gaps and additional areas to be addressed. The panel consisted of A. Kalimuthu, Program Director, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Institute, Mr. Joep Verhagen, Senior Water and Sanitation Specialist, WSP, World Bank, Mr. Kirti Prasanna Mishra, Cofounder of Ecociate and Ex-Partner of MartRural, Mr. Sujoy Mojumdar and Mr. Swapnil Chaturvedi.
The launch event was concluded by a Q&A session on the 'Role of Business in addressing the sanitation challenges in India'. "Each member of the panel is a stalwart in the sanitation sector and comes with years of valuable experience in their respective fields. It is important to highlight that their collective knowhow and guidance will push the cohort in the right direction and solve important sector and industry challenges which will serve as a definitive step towards success of the cohort and the program.", added Manu Prakash, Director & Practice Head Policy & Public Services at TARU Leading Edge and one of the core member of the accelerator program.
One of the interesting highlights of the discussion was about the international experience of Mr. Joep Verhagen on BRAC Bangladesh. According to him, approaching sanitation as a pure business model has its own limitations. Joep shared his concern that as soon as sanitation businesses try to make the processes safer for the workers, like in Faecal Sludge Management, the costs of the business will likely go up, hence making it unviable. However, the counter agreement from Mr. Kirti Prasanna Mishra (expartner MartRural) and Mr Prabhat Pani (from Tata Trusts) was equally powerful as they shared how similar challenges were faced by other emerging sectors during the initial days (e.g. Microfinance). The need of the hour is to continuously test and validate different models within the sanitation ecosystem until the space is mature enough to address the larger sanitation challenges in a holistic way. Ruchika Shiva who is co‐leading the program on behalf of IRC said that it is crucial for us to engage with the different stakeholders to find sustainable solutions to address the sanitation challenge in India, this platforms intends to bring successful initiatives from the grassroots, that are entrepreneurs and not for profit models, to work with them with a business perspective to test whether these can work on scale. This is a process of learning and unlearning for the cohort during the capacity building phase, for entrepreneurs to understand the need and value to engage with their customers beyond a one-time sale of a product/service, and for not for profits to understand the business dimensions that could help make their initiative sustainable and independent of time bound donor driven projects.
Shubho Broto Das, Manager Startup Services at Ennovent and in-house start-up coach, stated "The boot camp generated a few critical learnings and insights into the sanitation ecosystem in rural India and helped us discover various types of challenges, and entrepreneurial gaps that need to be addressed for transitioning the innovations into scalable, sustainable and profitable business models. Based on the needs, the cohort will be given access to our community of industry practitioners and investors along with a tailored capacity building curriculum specifically addressing the needs ranging from identifying and diversifying revenue streams to strengthening end-to-end partnership models".
In August, after the completion of the 8-week capacity building program, the cohort members will present to a larger stakeholder group including investors.

Goodbye, Azzuri. In a remarkable turn of events, the Italians not only failed to qualify to the round of 16, they actually finished last in their group. The road to success didn't seem that difficult coming in for Italy, as their group was, on paper, the weakest group in the entire World Cup. And yet, there they are, on the bottom of it doing nothing more in the Cup than drawing twice and getting beat by Slovakia.
Credit the Slovakians for their efforts though. Expected by just about nobody to get out of the group, Slovakia comes up with one of the biggest wins in the tournament. They got on the board in the 25th minute via the foot of Robert Vittek, and it was the third time already in this tournament where Italy allowed an early goal not to recover. Vittek scored again in the 73rd, and that's when things got wild. Italy would manage to score eight minutes later, and then both teams traded goals yet again for the final line to read 3-2 in favor of Slovakia. The result marks the first time in World Cup history where both finalists from the previous Cup (Italy, France) failed to get past the group stage.
Paraguay 0, New Zealand 0
New Zealand did something that the United States were three minutes away from doing before they secured a victory, and that is be eliminated from the World Cup without losing. Three games, three ties for the Kiwis. It's disappointing because you never like to leave when you weren't beaten, but they should be very proud as well because each of these games they were expected to lose, and lose handedly. This is definitely something they can build on, and maybe next time we see them they can put some wins together. As for Paraguay, a tie works just fine for them. It gives them five points in the group, and in this bracket that was good enough to take the cake.
Japan 3, Denmark 1
The stakes for this game was pretty simple - win, and you're in. Because of the tiebreakers, a tie would have earned Japan through, but the Japanese decided that they were just going to make sure they got through the right away. Keisuke Honda, their most recognizable player, got Japan on the board in the 17th minute, and then Japan would tack on two more goals from there. Prior to this Cup, Japan has never won a World Cup game away from Asian soil, now they've already won two. For their efforts, they will now take on Paraguay, a game which wouldn't be out of their reach to win.
As for Denmark, this is a very disappointing result. Prior to this, every time that the Danish have made a World Cup they've advanced past the group stage. But they just couldn't get any real good chances against the Japanese defense, and their only goal came via a penalty kick (which was initially missed, but Jon Dahl Tomasson followed his own blocked shot). Even though I thought Cameroon would make it out of the group with the Dutch, the Danish side would have been the next expected choice and it's unfortunate for them that they couldn't get the job done.
Netherlands 2, Cameroon 1
The Netherlands were already through, and Cameroon was already eliminated, so this one was basically just a formality. No matter the result, it was almost all but certain that the Dutch would win their group. They looked good again though, nothing too flashy but still getting the job done. They won all three games in their group stage and now will take on Slovakia. Assuming they win that matchup, it would be followed by a major contest between them and either Brazil or Portugal. The way it stands now, you have to think that either this team or Brazil (or the USA of course!) will be one of the teams in the finals. As for Cameroon, just another disappointing effort by an African side.
And hey, the win also allows the Netherlands to keep their Unofficial Football World Championship!

The GJPD is Looking for Copper Theft Victims
You may have caught the news story KJCT reporter Don Coleman did Thursday night regarding a copper theft case we are currently working. As Det. Cody Kennedy said in the interview, copper theft is a growing problem across the country, and Western Colorado isn't immune.
Det. Kennedy isn't the only GJPD officer working copper theft cases- there are several investigations going on, and although we are aware of at least one local victim we believe there are potentially other victims we do not know about.
Possible victims could include anyone that sells, holds, or buys copper wiring, pipe or parts. If you fall into any of these categories we ask that you check your inventory for loss or theft over the past six months.
If you believe you or your business is a victim of copper theft please call the Grand Junction Police Department at 242-6707. We ask that you provide your contact information and a description of the products including the weight or amount of copper stolen.
If you have suspect information and wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 241-STOP, send the information via the web at www.241stop.com, or text a tip to CRIMES (274637) with the word TIP729 in the message.

Bubble and Squeak is a classic British meal usually eaten on a Monday using the leftovers from the previous days roast dinner, Potato, cabbage and onion. It goes really well with the traditional full English breakfast and is particularly handy if you're not eating Gluten as a Gluten Free substitute for toast. There is no reason why you couldn't have it as part of an evening meal too though, its great with an egg on top and some bacon, pancetta or sausages on the side. I've found it goes well with almost any kind of meat and isn't bad as a meal on its own too.
Because it's often served in british "greasy spoon" cafes, this has a reputation as an unhealthy dish but using Sweet Potato's, kale and a low calories butter spray to fry it in makes it a pretty healthy option.
The recipe below assumes you aren't using leftovers, if you are then just skip Cooking the Potato or Greens and add your already cooked ones to the mixture. I use Kale which is available ready chopped from most supermarkets but for a more traditional Bubble and Squeak you can substitute this with Cabbage or Brussel Sprouts, the important thing is to keep to the 6 to 10 ratio of Potato to Veg. Coating the Bubble and Squeak in Gram (or Chickpea) Flour help them hold together a little better but if you don't have any the recipe will still work without it. I usually add a teaspoon of Chilli flakes but other spices (Nutmeg is good) work well too.
- 2 Reasonably big Sweet Potatoes
- 100g Greens for 2 medium sized Sweet Potato's
- Gram flour to coat
- oil for cooking
- 1 spring onion
- 1 Teaspoon of Chilli Flakes
- 1 small clove of Garlic
- As if you were making mashed potato's chop the Sweet Potato's into medium sized chunks (peeled or unpeeled depending on your preference) and boil them in water until they are soft – 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size,
- If you need to cook your Greens as well, chop them up into fairly small pieces and just put them in with the Sweet Potato for the last 3 – 4 mins.
- Drain well and put both Potato's and Greens in a bowl together.
- Add finely sliced Spring Onion and Crushed Garlic
- Mix the mash and greens together well in a bowl. You need to make sure you have enough potato for the mixture to hold so I recommend adding the greens gradually. you are aiming for about a 6 parts sweet potato to 4 parts greens – any less sweet potato and it wont hold together well.
- Season and add spices etc of your choosing (Chilli Flakes or Nutmeg work well).
- Divide the mix into burger-sized patties (you can make one big cake but this will be much harder to turn over) and coat lightly in Gram Flour.
- Place the patties in a frying pan and shallow fry until brown on the edges and slightly crispy (2 – 3 minutes on each side should do it) then serve.

I picked up a bag of Let's Do...Organic large flaked coconut the other day. The bag was under $5 and I used half of it, saving the other half, just in case I buggered this up. Well, I didn't, and that part rules, so I baked up the second batch and am pumped to share the recipe. It's easy to get carried away snacking on these.. when it rains, it pours, y'know.
Large flaked coconut - preferably "Let's Do...Organic"
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp LITE Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 1/2 tbsp liquid smoke
2 tbsp sesame oil
Cracked black pepper
Rock salt, to taste
Preheat oven to 300F.
Combine marinade in a bowl, stir well, and add coconut. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
Scoop coconut evenly onto a well greased cookie sheet, separating as best you can.
Bake for 5 minutes, flip with a spatula, bake for 5 more minutes. Flip one last time and bake for a 5 minutes longer if needed. Be careful, it burns pretty easily. Pick out the noticeably gnarly bits as you flip.
Transfer to a big plate and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
Use on pizza, BLTs, salads, quiche, tofu scramble, etc. This stores well in a bag, in the fridge for about one week.

Bug #1388
Data race in PME with large prime number of threads
src/gromacs/mdlib/pme.c:3745 has a data race for a
mdrun -ntmpi 2 -ntomp 11
for regressiontests/complex/nbnxn_pme

Fixed PME bug with #OpenMP-threads a large prime
With hybrid MPI+OpenMP parallelization and the rank local FFT grid
size for a dimension not divisible by the number of OpenMP threads
in that dimension, a very small amount of the FFT grid overlap part
could set/added twice. This would only occur at low-medium MPI
parallelization with OpenMP thread counts with large prime factors,
which is practice means almost never. Even when it occured, no actual
differences in PME energies or forces were observed.
This issue was due to a leftover from when space was uniformly
divided over the grids iso assigning whole grid lines.
Fixes #1388.

Fixed two PME issues with MPI+OpenMP
Change 272736bc partially fixed #1388, but broke the more general
case of multiple MPI communication pulses in PME. Change 272736bc
incorrectly changed tx1 and ty1. This change has been reverted.
Change 27189bba fixed the incorrect PME grid reduction with multiple
thread grid overlap in y. But it broke the, much more common, case
where the y-size of the PME grid is not divisible by the domains in y.
This change, incorrectly, changed buf_my.
Now buf_my is set to the correct value, which solves both issues.
Fixes #1578.

Alan L. Escalona, president and chief executive of Fruit Magic, said the company decided to aggressively expand beginning this year as part of a strategy to withstand competition from other food stall brands that are selling freshly made beverages like fruit juice and milk tea. "In our brain-storming sessions, we decided that we can no longer sit on our laurels, and part of branding is more stores. Also, there is a white elephant in us, which is franchising. Since we started franchising in 2006 or 2007, we only had 11 franchisees," Escalona told the BusinessMirror. Since Fruit Magic opened in 1993, it took on a conservative growth plan in terms of the number of outlets and currently has close to 50 stores only, mostly in Metro Manila. Now, Escalona said Fruit Magic will use franchising as an expansion tool, also in support of the entrepreneurship program of the Philippine Franchise Association, where he sits as one of the board of directors. "If I could expand up to 50 new stores up to next year, we will have no problem because we have the experience. But the expansion will now be in the outskirts," Escalona said. To jump start this expansion binge, Fruit Magic lowered its franchise cost from P750,000 to only P285,000 at the just concluded Franchise Asia Philippines 2012 at the SMX Convention Center as a promotion. At the four-day expo, Escalona said he managed to close 17 deals with possible franchisees. He is also in discussion with a foreign businessmen,who currently has other business interests in the country, for a multi-store franchising package. The prospective foreign partner is interested in opening Fruit Magic stores in the Visayas and Mindanao. Aside from adding more stores, Escalona said Fruit Magic will also have new concoctions that will broaden its market base. Currently, Fruit Magic is focused on the mid- to high-end market.

When Ivalee Sinclair's children were growing up, this rich pilaf, lavishly topped with Hawaiian macadamia nuts, was a family tradition. Now her children make it for their families.
How to Make It
In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the macadamia nuts and stir until slightly darker brown, about 3 minutes. Scrape from pan into small bowl and set aside.
Add remaining butter, onion, and garlic to pan. Stir often over medium-high heat until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
Add rice and stir often until grains turn opaque, about 5 minutes.
Add the broth and pepper. Heat to a simmer. Pour the mixture into a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole; cover tightly.
Bake in a 375° oven until rice is tender to bite, 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with nuts and parsley.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Gadus morhua
Since the time the Vikings roamed the seas, the annual arrival of "The Norwegian Miracle" has been cause for celebration. From the Old Norse, for "wanderer," Skrei is a true culinary delicacy.
From January through April, every year fully grown Arctic cod, raised in the Barents Sea, make their way to the Loften Islands in search of a mate. It is for this reason and because of the time of year, they are sometimes called the "Valentine's Fish."
400 million Norwegian cod migrate each year and only 10% will qualify for ultra-premium Skrei branding. The Norwegian Cod fishery is the largest and one of the most organized and strictly regulated in the world. All Skrei comes as Marine Stewardship Council certified to ensure a healthy population and environmentally sound process.
Only the Very Best Norwegian Cod Can Be Classified as Skrei
- Wild-caught between January & April
- Fully grown (approx. 5 years old)
- Immaculate condition – no nicks, bruises, or damage
- Packed within 12 hours of being caught
- Stored between 32 and 39.2 degrees Farenheit
- After 12 days the fish must still look appealing, smell fresh and have a good consistency
- Harvested minutes after landing on the ship & drained with running 0 degree Celsius seawater for 30 minutes. Packed while in pre-rigor; necessary for optimal shelf life.
From H&G:
- To Skin-On Fillets: 71%
- To Skin-Off, PBI: 62%
- To Skin-Off, PBO: 52%

I love Iris Johansen's stories about Eve Duncan, her family and friends. Your Next Breath engages us in the life of Catherine Ling, a friend of Eve's, who suddenly finds that former acquaintances are being stalked and killed by someone who wants to see Catherine suffer. As a CIA agent who was recruited practically as a child, Catherine has made a lot of enemies. Which one of them wants to reek revenge on her and those she is close to?
Although Catherine sees herself as a loner she finds as the circle tightens around her, she really has many more people who care about her and are considered targets than she ever imagined. First and foremost is her 12 year old son Luke who was kidnapped when he was two and raised by an evil man who also sought to punish Catherine. Now that she has Luke back, she will do anything in her power to keep him and her friends safe. However, it is no small task and she finds herself all over the world trying to find the vicious murder before he kills those who mean the most to her.
I enjoy the complexity of Johansen's characters and the "special" gifts some of them have that are almost supernatural and yet fascinating in terms of how she weaves these into her story. Richard Cameron is one of those people with a special gift that he always seems able to use when Catherine needs it most.

Forecasting daily stock price is an important task in financial time series area. And it is known that the singular value decomposition Entropy has a predictive power for stock market. This study attempts to develop various models and compare their performances in predicting the daily KOSPI200 index. The models are based on a singular value decomposition process which has various correlation and entropy methods: Pearson correlation, Kendall correlation, Shannon entropy, Renyi entropy, Max-entropy, Min-entropy. Input variables include moving time window singular value decomposition entropy series which are the combination of two correlations and four entropies. Support Vector Regression is used to predict daily KOSPI200 index and the model performance is evaluated using accuracy measures such as MAE, MAPE, and RMSE of the forecasting values. As a result of its application, investors may have a guidance of their trading strategy.

ISLAMABAD, Oct 4 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had been meeting all fronts with wisdom whether it was Kashmir issue, atomic explosions, or relations with India, said Managing Director Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) Masood Malik.
Speaking in a TV programme, he said the Prime Minister had been serving the people of Pakistan for three decades.
He praised Prime Minister's speech at the United Nations General Assembly and said he forcefully pleaded Kashmiris case that was why his critics also appreciated his address.
The MD APP said that anti-Pakistan forces wanted chaos and unrest in the country and some elements were opposing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
He said the Prime Minister took both the political and military leadership onboard on all national issues and developed consensus, including Zarb-e-Azb and Karachi operation.
Masood Malik said Pakistan had given clear message to the world that the country was united for its defence and on all other issues of national integrity and solidarity.
He said India was making propaganda against Pakistan by blaming it for Uri attack to divert the world attention from Occupied Kashmir, where India was committing human rights violations.
He said that India was involved in terrorism activities in Pakistan and we had evidences in that regard.
Participating in the programme, Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Raja Farooq Haider said Indian claim of surgical strike in AJK was totally false and baseless.
He said no such strike had occurred however exchange of fire happened.
The AJK PM said the whole nation was united against Indian aggression and stood by armed forces of Pakistan to defend the homeland.

Ever thought of getting rid of tradition and going for something slightly different for your wedding cake? What about going for cheesecake instead? Double it up as dessert and save a few pennies too.
For my husbands birthday I asked him what sort of birthday cake he wanted and without thinking he said, "Cheesecake!". Right, I thought, last time I attempted one of these it took £10 of cream cheese and far more effort than driving to the shops and picking one out of the chilled section! But as it was his 'birthday wish' I knew I had to hand make it. We had just returned from a trip in Vietnam, where we had been spoilt with tropical fruit, so my immediate thought was passion fruit or mango, or both :)
After scouring the internet, I found the perfect recipe. Not too expensive or difficult! Then following a trip to the supermarket where they were out of passionfruit, just mango it was then! The outcome was yummy, I would recommend a coulis of some sort but it looked and tasted great. Find the recipe here. What do you think of the outcome…
This got me thinking, this would be a great idea as an alternative to wedding cake. I have popped together some of my fav options, with traditional tier, filled with flowers, coved in chocolate, mini ones, and dessert tables. Which one would you choose?
1. Floral Tiered Wedding CheeseCake, Mary's Cakes and Pasteries; 2. Strawberry Tiered Wedding Cheesecake, The English Cheesecake Company; 3. Wedding Cheesecake table, The Cheesecake Factory; 4.Mini Wedding Cheesecakes, 24 Carrots

365 Restaurants, 2 Kids, 1 Giant Fiasco
We were at Grace's parents visiting with family when we decided we would make another attempt at eating fondue which I suggested the other day. It was already 6:00 PM so we got moving lest we get home at midnight. We opted to go the The Melting Pot in Addison. We'd been here once before in Dallas and a couple times in Nashville. Once when Mina was much younger. Benji passed out about 5 minutes into the car ride. He hadn't napped and he'd woken up very early this morning. This might not go well.
Mina and Grace joked about where he got his snore from on the ride over. Mina wanted to play more games in the car. We just wanted to relax so we had to refuse her request this time. Grace pulled Benji out of the car and he woke up a bit. She managed to get him back to sleep but he woke up for good once we sat down. Grace had to take him down the hall and calm him down. Once we put him in his seat to play with the colored pencils and activity book they provided the kids he was fine.
He immediately went for the cooktop surface. Grace had to knock his hand away a couple times before he got the point. Luckily, the surface isn't really hot. The bowl gets extremely hot though but is a bit further away so his hands never quite made it into the danger zone. Not long after our cheese arrived. Benji started screaming "wow" and "rye" (rice). He was apparently ready to eat and he thought the shredded cheese looked like rice. We all dug in. Mina enjoyed the novelty of dipping her bread in the cheese but the novelty wore off when she ate it. Benji also pushed his plate away after trying it. The kids don't like the swiss cheese apparently.
Benji found his fondue forks right after that and kept himself busy skewering chunks of bread while we finished off our salads that came right after the cheese. Mina asked for a carrot and said she liked it better without the cheese and even asked for more! I told her only once to eat the carrots because she wouldn't want to miss dessert. When the time came I let her choose it. She went for the one with marshmallows and milk chocolate.
The kids where wide eyed when the dessert arrived. They brought out a bowl of awesome looking chocolate and a tray of marshmallows, fruit, cheesecake, and bananas. Benji finished off the bananas and Mina did a number on the first slice of cheesecake. We even had to get more dippers. And those are free of charge! Its basically all you can eat. And at this point in the meal its not all that much. We were all stuffed. Mina said she was in heaven and she wished dessert was like this every night.
Two hours and too much food later, we were headed home.
The have 6 to 7 choices of cheese to start with. We went for the Classic Swiss with the Gruyere. The kids weren't a huge fan. In hindsight, the cheddar would have been a better choice for the kids. The bite of the swiss was just too much for the kids. The parents loved it. It went best with the tart green apples. The also served a selection of bread cubes and vegetables (cauliflower, carrots and celery). Mina actually liked the carrots. She even asked for more and didn't need prodding to finish them. Benji stuck with the bread cubes.
I went for the California Salad with walnuts and gorgonzola. It was really fresh but the dressing was a little sweet for my taste. Grace got the Spinach Mushroom Salad. I think she had the same opinion of her dressing. Her salad was not as good as mine. The dressing needed to be warm to slightly wilt the spinach. Would have been much better that way.
The main course was the Signature Selection. It comes with filet mignon, teriyaki sirloin, shrimp, chicken and salmon (we nixed the salmon for more filet, no charge). Grace said it was just OK because you are basically just boiling your food. She thought the filet was the best meat. The meat was very fresh and tender. If its overcooked it mostly your fault. It takes a time or two to get the doneness just right. They provide a ton of sauces to choose from. The best parts are definitely the cheese and the dessert.
Dessert was the Chocolate S'mores. It was a mix of milk chocolate and marshmallow topped of with some graham cracker crumbs. It was served with cheesecake, rice crispy treats, marshmallows covered with graham crackers, marshmallows covered with Oreo cookie crumbs, bananas, pound cake, and strawberries! And you can get more of everything at no extra charge! We got the small size. It would take quite a few adults to finish off the larger size. Very tasty.
The service was above average. The waiter was clearly busy but sent for help whenever he needed to ensure no one was overlooked. Her cleared the table frequently which was a big hit with Grace.
Besides the inherent dangers of a very hot pot in the middle of your table filled with sometimes flaming food and the long pointy sticks you eat with, it was surprisingly kid friendly. The did give out activity books of appropriate length to keep the kids entertained during the long meal. The food was a show in and of itself which helped as well. In the end, this could be a fun outing if your kids can be still for a longer meal and you can keep the hands and pointy sticks under control. There is a good chance of dessert bribery here as well. Especially if they already know how good it is.
Total cost: $122.06 ($36 in drinks…ouch)
We forgot the camera and had to take pictures on Grace's phone. She's asleep already so the photos will be up tomorrow. Sorry.
Located at 4900 Beltline in Addison. They have locations in Southlake and one in Arlington coming soon.

Tom Miller hasn't added a story.
Hello. I'm Tom Miller, a Performance Artist living and working in Gainesville, Florida - the Known Center of the Universe. I need your help to get to Iowa for Transcendental Meditation Retreats in the David Lynch MFA Program at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa.
In 2010, I began a years-long performance art piece called, Professor Miller. The Independent Alligator wrote an article about this here: ALLIGATOR ARTICLE. The performance is that I play the character of a student trying to become a Professor, and I enrolled in Santa Fe College and earned an AA degree in theatre. It took two years and everyone believed my performance because I was so thoroughly invested in the character. Yes, it's a bit of method acting, but even the degree is real.
Then, I applied and was admitted to the University of Florida where I continued with the performance and even the professors there were convinced I was a student studying acting and theatre, because I actually was when I did it. During my time at the University of Florida Theatre Program, I wrote a blog called "Are You Acting". In the course of my performance I earned a Kennedy Center Award Nomination for Sound Design, I was selected to the 2010-2011 FCSAA "All-Academic" Team in Theatre, became a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society in March of 2011, became a member of UF Golden Key International Honor Society on Oct. 8 0f 2014, and a member of Dalta Epsilon Iota Academic Honor Society in 2015.
Then, I took a year off trying to get into several universities in NYC. While I was waiting, I did a performance piece called The Twin Peaks Marathon, which was a two-day non-stop viewing of all the episodes of director David Lynch's Twin Peaks Television Show, and the movie Fire Walk With Me. This was my weird way of bringing attention to Transcendental Meditation, a practice for which I am recognized. If you scroll down on THIS LIST, you can see me there three people after Martin Scorsese. So meditation is an integral part of my life, and David Lynch has been one of my primary inspirations for decades as a painter, artist, musician, and yes, even filmmaker. So the New York schools were expensive and I had to live away from my beloved Gainesville.
Then, a strange thing happened. I found out about Maharishi University of Management (the Management refers to the business of correctly conducting one's life.) David Lynch had an accredited program of study for screenwriters which also includes an array of cinema education. At Maharishi University (Yes, that Maharishi who hung out with the Beatles), the course of study is "Consciousness-Based Education". It comes with intensive Transcendental Meditation 10-Day Retreats in Iowa. It is a low residency program, which means that other than the retreats, I can remain in Gainesville studying and working through the power of technology. They offer one intensive class at a time, unlike traditional colleges. And the price undercuts comparable programs by near half.
The program is unique and weird, like me, so it's a perfect fit. And...in the final retreat (which is held in L.A.), I will have completed at least two screenplays which are then seen by industry professionals and there is a great chance I will have the opportunity to interact with and/or meet the master himself, David Lynch. I will earn an Masters of Arts accredited degree, and Professor Miller will become a reality, even though I'm just acting!
I began this program arriving in Iowa on August 17th. It's time to book my third flight on Frontier Air to get to Fairfield for the third retreat in August, or the price will go through the roof. Although I qualified for some financial aid to complete this phase of my performance, the journeys back and forth from Iowa (and the last one in L.A.) are financially challenging.
I need help and support from friends and fans who are appreciating and getting a kick out of Tom Miller arts and music in 2019.
As my final fundrazr ever (because I'll have an advanced degree which will allow me to get a normal human being job), I am giving you (my friends, my fans) an opportunity to send me to Iowa and L.A. where I will have to sit down and shut up for ten days at a time (in the bliss and infinite potentiality of going deep within with Transcendental Meditation). Imagine! Me, quiet, diving in for profound ideas to share with you. This will be even better than Buttprints™, songs about sheep, and staring into the mouth of Ted Cruz!
To complete this Professor Miller Performance Art Piece in the most unique of ways, I am seeking to raise $2,100 to get me back and forth to these required retreats. This is strictly air-fare, and in exchange for your help I have some equally unique perks to offer. Scripts, the link to the Secret Blog, original art, all kinds of return value for your help.
Please help me complete my training, finish successfully this years-long performance art piece so that we can say together, "Goddamn, that piece of performance art was long!" And how great would it be for you to say, I got Tom Miller to sit down and shut his mouth for near 50 days!
I've been in performance art a long time. I hope I've entertained you and I wish to go on entertaining you for many years to come. You can contribute as little ($10) or as much ($500) as you wish. And in return I will make the following promises.
#1: I will never publish another Fundrazr ever again.
#2: I will work my ever-loving ass off to tell great stories, support cultural arts and music in our community, our country and our world, and I promise to be a good representative of my species in the cosmos.
And #3: I will remember and return 10-fold karma to those who stand by me, and I will stand by you as well. Vicariously join me at the David Lynch MFA Program in Fairfield, Iowa, and let's see if we can turn one of these future screenplays into a big fat famous fish!
I've recently completed two screenplays now, Roach Buddy and The Tabernacle of Hedonism. These scripts are out on the market waiting to be discovered and perhaps one day made into feature films!

How to block spamming countries
If you intend to identify the source IP addresses for specific domains for ALL incoming traffic to your site, you have to reverse resolve the host's domain name from each source IP address. This procedure is called Reverse DNS Lookup, or briefly rDNS.
Unfortunately, not all IPs can be reverse resolved because not every IP has its registered domain name. So technically you can't use this approach (IP to host name) to identify all country domains that you want to block.
On the other hand, not all .cn or .ru hosts are using the IP addresses which are physically located in China or Russia. They may be located in the US or any other locations in the world.
Additionally, for every single IP, reverse resolving (rDNS) needs time to query your local DNS server, then ISP's DNS server, root DNS servers and all related DNS servers. It is acceptable for validating an email address, but NOT practical for filtering all TCP/IP connections.
However, if you really want to that, you may consider simply blocking the IP ranges of China, Russia or other countries on your firewall or router facing the internet. As no rDNS is involved, the performance is better, but the performance is still reduced if too many ranges are filtered.
You may get the IP ranges from Country IP Blocks. This site also updates you about the top 10 global spammers and provides you several popular formats to export the Country IP data you need. As of the first quarter of 2010, the top three spamming countries are Korea, China and India. "The biggest surprise on the list is Korea, as it takes over the number one global spammer spot from China. With the improved high speed internet infrastructure in Korea and ease of network access, we knew Korea would be on the rise. We just did not expect it to be so soon", the site comments.
Please be aware that this approach probably has impacts on your business if you are running commercial websites or Web Services behind the firewall or router blocking these countries, as all affected visitors from these countries can't see your websites at all, including your prospective clients just travelling in these countries.
According to MaxMind, there are 248,307,783 IP addresses for China, 86,613,071 for Korea, and 33,218,703 for Russia. Therefore you will must have a long list of IP ranges to be blocked.
The decision is up to you.

Report: Facebook Nears $500M Net Income on $1.6B Revenue in First Half of 2011, Mostly Tracking Projections
Facebook appeared to be on course to make $4 billion in revenue for 2011, we and other publications heard from sources close to the company in January, with net income at around $1 billion. Reuters has an update on that estimate today, citing a source that says Facebook actually made $1.6 billion in the first half of the year, with net income near $500 million so far.
Looking at the past and present numbers together, revenue is lower than projected at this point, but net income is on track. That in turn suggests that costs have come in lower than expected.
Facebook doesn't currently provide information on its finances, so we don't know for sure what has caused its business to grow. But financial documents leaked in January during Goldman Sach's fundraising efforts indicated that Facebook had made roughly $2 billion in 2010, with profits up to $600 million. That was more than double 2009.
Two additional trends have started to kick in, that could cause revenue to grow more sharply in this second half of the year, and continue the annual doubling trend.
One is that Facebook has finalized Credits as the only paid currency for third-party canvas apps on its platform. While Zynga and other top social game developers began transitioning as early as a year ago, the policy only went fully into effect on July 1st. From that point, we can say for certain that Facebook is getting 30% of revenue from basically all virtual goods transactions in apps.
The other trend is what's been happening in Facebook's marketer ecosystem. The Ads API, a way for larger advertisers to buy big, automated, fine-tuned ad campaigns through third-party tools, has launched publicly after spending years in private beta testing. The result is that companies who have figured out how to get a good return on investment from ad campaigns can now spend in bulk, like they do with online ad leader Google through Adsense and Adwords. In the meantime, Facebook has been busy building up its own sales teams around the world, and introducing a variety of new products and advertiser services to make spending easy and worthwhile.
While revenue is an increasingly important indicator for the company as it matures, it still has lots of growing left to do. It has opted against short-term revenue boosters like homepage takeover ads, in contrast to distant competitors like MySpace. Overall, it just needs to show some sort of serious revenue growth every year in order to get investors excited about its long-term future. If and when an offering happens, public investors will be hoping the company repeats the post-IPO success of many other companies over the years, and ultimately more than justify the $70 billion and $80 billion valuations that the private-market stock has been trading at.

The hush-hush secret ROB LOWE doesn't want YOU to know!
Life in the fast lane nearly ruined him – but the former Brat Packer says rehab and the love of a good woman helped him turn his life around.
"My life today is so much more interesting than it was back then," said Lowe.
The handsome actor was known for his hard partying and sexcapades with Monaco's Princess Stephanie and actresses Nastassja Kinski, Demi Moore and Melissa Gilbert. But his good times led to a near career-crippling scandal in 1988 when a tape of him having sex with three women – one of them an underage teen – surfaced.
But Lowe has changed a lot from those scandalous years. Today he says: "You can make monogamy exciting – you just have to be with the right person. I picked the right woman. She's sexy, she's hot, she's interesting. She keeps me on my toes."
Lowe, 49, is talking about his wife, former makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff, 52. The two started dating in 1989, married in 1991 and now have two sons.
"I knew if I couldn't make it work with Sheryl, I couldn't make it work with anybody," Lowe said. "She didn't give me any ultimatums. She understood me in a way that nobody had, and she still does."
Lowe – who played Liberace's drug- and booze-addled plastic surgeon in the HBO hit "Behind the Candelabra" – recently tweeted that he celebrated 23 years of sobriety. He says he made the announcement because "it's important for people to see that it can work."
"There's a sense now that rehab is a place you go to 'rehab' your image or because a judge wants you to go, or you want to save your career or your marriage," he added. "I went because I was done. I wanted a new life."

The mobile pool…
is a small (3,5m wide) rubber pool, with a gas-heating-system and a filter-pump.
This pool is mobile and can be set up anywhere on a flat, stable ground. The idea behind is, that working in warm water needs access to some kind of hot tub, pool, bath, etc., which is not so easy to find in Berlin and surroundings. The only option is to work in public pools and spas, like the Liquidrom.
Because it is rather small and not so deep. I had to adapt the classical Watsu® techniques to the depth and the space.
I have been working in it during the summer 2006. I have set up in pretty unusual areas, like the bar25, the Fusion Theater Festival, in my country-side-garden during the Ponderosa Dance Festival or in a small village in Rügen.

OpenStack is a great Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, but what happens when components in the control plane don't act the way we expect them to? Well, OpenStack is capable of generating a significant amount of syslog messages to assist you with troubleshooting. How do we make sense of them all? Consider VMware vRealize Log Insight!
The vRealize team partnered with the experts in-house who operate our OpenStack development cloud to classify log messages according to each control plane component. The end product of that work is a free Content Pack for Log Insight that automatically adds OpenStack intelligence to the solution.
My colleague, Yogita Patil, shared a great blog post about the content pack. So, I won't go into as much detail as she did. Instead, I'll share the following video that provides a walkthrough of using VMware vRealize Log Insight for OpenStack control plane analysis.
Stay tuned for the next installment covering cloud cost analysis with VMware vRealize Business! In the meantime, you can learn more on the VMware Product Walkthrough site and on the VMware Integrated OpenStack product page.

Publishers Ponder Impact Of a Decade of Changes
Washington--Textbook publishers met here last week to discuss the future of their industry in the wake of extraordinary educational, financial, and technological changes.
"What publishing was 10 years ago, it's not today," said David A. Bice, director of the educational division of the Walsworth Publishing Company. "What it's going to be 10 years from now, it's not today. There's something happening, and we've got to react to it."
Mr. Bice and other participants at the annual meeting of the Association of American Publishers' school division noted that the recent wave of mergers and acquisitions of textbook firms has substantially altered the industry's structure.
In addition, they said, the advances in technology that have opened opportunities for publishers have, at the same time, generated new forms of competition.
And changes in schools, particularly the increasing proportion of minority students enrolled and reforms that give more authority to teachers, could lead, participants said, to demands for new kinds of materials.
If publishers adapt to these upheavals, suggested J. Kendrick Noble Jr., first vice president of Paine Webber Inc., the 1990's could be "very bright" for the industry.
"It could be the best 10 years since the period 1955 to 1965," he told the publishers, "if you don't, as an industry, prevent that from happening."
Mergers and Acquisitions
The meeting followed a year many industry officials consider a disappointment. Although revenues in the $1.8-billion industry increased by about 8 percent last year, according to Mr. Noble, publishers had expected a much greater increase because of the large number of reading texts purchased in 1989.
Their dismay over the financial returns was compounded, others here said, by the turmoil engendered by the flurry of mergers and acquisitions that has led to an increased consolidation within the industry. (See Education Week, Dec. 6, 1989.)
The recent takeover wave has concentrated control over the bulk of the market into the hands of the top few firms, said E. Addison Ellis 3rd, senior vice president and editor-in-chief of the Charles E. Merrill Publishing Company. Merrill was sold last year to the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School Publishing Company, creating the largest firm in the industry.
But Mr. Ellis noted in an interview that a similar consolidation, which occurred earlier this century, also opened opportunities for smaller firms to compete for "niches," such as supplemental materials and textbooks for particular states or grade levels.
"If history repeats itself," said the chairman of the school division's executive committee, "as publishers get larger, there will be a lot of areas big publishers won't try to market. That will allow smaller publishers to meet those needs."
The Way of the Dinosaur?
The publishers also expressed mixed emotions about the growth of new technologies.
On the one hand, noted John T. Ridley, vice president and editor-in-chief of the elementary-school division of Houghton Mifflin Company, advances in computer technology have enabled publishers to more efficiently produce new kinds of materials, such as different textbooks for different regions of the country.
Using text compiled on a computerized database, he said, publishers can reassemble and repackage materials to match states' curricular needs.
But overuse of such techniques, Mr. Ridley warned, could destroy the pedagogical value of the textbook.
"If the pedagogy was developed for particular learning in a particular context, what about derivations?" he asked. "We cannot simply view the material as an array we can mix and match at will."
In addition, noted James Milliot, executive editor of the trade publication Educational Marketer, another by-product of the technological revolution--the growing use of computer software and video technology in schools--threatens to make textbooks obsolete.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about textbooks going the way of the dinosaur anytime soon," he said. "But it seems inevitable that textbooks will be less important for mainstream instruction in the year 2000 than they are in 1990."
School-Based Management
Samuel B. Husk, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools, stressed that the growing diversity of the school population will demand materials that are multicultural and "gender-fair." He noted that the council, working with the publishers' association, has approved a policy statement urging districts to evaluate textbooks on how they treat women and minorities.
"You have to have a market, and we're trying to create a market," he said.
But Kenneth E. Beckel, senior vice president and editor-in-chief of the school publishing group of South-Western Publishing Company, said such policies may lead to materials that can only be sold in large cities.
To produce books that would pass muster in such districts, "you'd have to customize," he said. "What he's talking about is an urban textbook."
The movement among school reformers to give more authority over curriculum to teachers and parents would also require a greater diversity of materials, suggested June B. Lee, president of the Jefferson County (Ky.) Teachers Association.
"Producing the same 3rd-grade basal reader for San Francisco and Flat Lick, Ky., will be a thing of the past," she said.
But Mr. Ridley of Houghton Mifflin warned that such experiments may not lead to better materials, since teachers currently are less able than curriculum specialists to judge the pedagogical value of textbooks.
"They look at the glitz, the packaging," he said.

Explaining the Magnitude of Liquidity Premia: The Roles of Return Predictability, Wealth Shocks and State-Dependent Transaction Costs
The seminal work of Constantinides (1986) documents how, when the risky return is calibrated to the U.S. market return, the impact of transaction costs on per-annum liquidity premia is an order of magnitude smaller than the cost rate itself. A number of recent papers have formed portfolios sorted on liquidity measures and found a spread in expected per-annum return that is definitely not an order of magnitude smaller than the transaction cost spread: the expected per-annum return spread is found to be around 6-7% per annum. Our paper bridges the gap between Constantinides' theoretical result and the empirical magnitude of the liquidity premium by examining dynamic portfolio choice with transaction costs in a variety of more elaborate settings that move the problem closer to the one solved by real-world investors. In particular, we allow returns to be predictable and transaction costs to be stochastic, and we introduce wealth shocks, both stationary multiplicative and labor income. With predictable returns, we also allow the wealth shocks and transaction costs to be state dependent. We find that adding these real world complications to the canonical problem can cause transactions costs to produce per-annum liquidity premia that are no longer an order of magnitude smaller than the rate, but are instead the same order of magnitude. For example, predictable returns and i.i.d. labor income growth causes the liquidity premium for an agent with a wealth to monthly labor income ratio of 0 or 10 to be 1.68\% and 1.20\% respectively; these are 21-fold and 15-fold increases, respectively, relative to that in the standard i.i.d. return case. We conclude that the effect of proportional transaction costs on the standard consumption and portfolio allocation problem with i.i.d. returns can be materially altered by reasonable perturbations that bring the problem closer to the one investors are actually solving.

text: World / Jerusalem Hamas Fires at Jerusalem for First Time Israel seems poised to launch ground attack By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Nov 16, 2012 12:49 PM CST Copied Israeli security forces search for a rocket thought to have been fired by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip in Jerusalem Friday. (AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner) View 1 more image (Newser) – Hamas did something today that not even Saddam Hussein dared: It fired at least one rocket at Jerusalem, reports Haaretz and the New York Times. It's the first time since 1970 that the city came under fire, though no rockets appear to have fallen within the city limits. One came down without causing damage south of the city near a West Bank settlement. The move marks a "major escalation" because of Jerusalem's symbolic importance and its proximity to Gaza (about 50 miles), reports Al Jazeera. Earlier, Hamas fired at Tel Aviv, Israel's biggest city. story continues below "We are sending a short and simple message: There is no security for any Zionist on any single inch of Palestine and we plan more surprises," said Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Hamas militant wing. Israel, meanwhile, seems to be edging closer to a ground attack with the call-up of 16,000 more reservists, reports AP. Armored vehicles have been moved to the border with Gaza as well.

Today ended an era. Tom Skinner's racing garage was taken down.
I was informed that after lunch today, the demo was going to happen. Of course no one was allowed in the building since the fire. But when I arrived the forman on the job said that he had something for me.
What was not destroyed and in near perfect condition were several pictures of Tony Siscone in the #14. Now I thought we found all of the old racing stuff back when we were cleaning after Tom's Death.
Tom's message today was directed to Siscone. Tony, he is saying something!
And I know it is all good.
Thanks for the update Charlie to keep us aware of what's going on and it really is a sad end to a great man and his era.

The weirdest thing happened today: I asked my teenager to do something and he did it.
I'd asked him to take care of the garbage cans and at first he'd come up with his standby "No, you can't make me." And it's true, I can't make him. He's now 7 inches taller than me (though he only out weighs me by 6 pounds). But once I walked out of the room, he went and brought in the garbage cans.
It was like I was an authority figure or something.
But wait, it gets stranger: I told him to turn off the Xbox and find something else to do. He argued that he'd only actually been playing it for about 20 minutes, as it had been downloading updates before that. I told him it didn't matter and walked away.
Then he turned off the Xbox and the TV! AND THE HE CAME OUT AND TALKED TO ME.
I'm think he must want something. It's been at least 6 hours since this double phenomena and still nothing. No favors asked, no bad news broken. The suspense is killing me.
Or maybe he's just growing up.

'Best of breed' cars fire on all cylinders in H&H's classics auction
'Best of breed' cars fire on all cylinders in H&H's classics auction
A number of high pedigree lots, including a 1923 racing Bentley, proved their worth at this auction
Judging by H&H's recent classic car sale, which took place last Wednesday, June 8, the market remains strong for what has become known as the 'best of breed'.
Speeding past all other lots wasa 1923 Bentley 3 Litre, which sold for 146,300 ($240,074).
After earning its place in historyby performing well in races during the 1920s, this rare Bentley is now considered an all-time classic.
This Bentley was one of the best racers around during the 1920s
Formerly the property of Hugh McCaig, patron of Scotland's Ecurie Ecosse motor racing team, chassis 331 was originally a rakish-looking two-seater but now wears a four-seater Tourer body, reputed to be the work of the legendary Kingsbury, UK-based coachbuilder Vanden Plas.
The final version of the 'Big' Healey 3000 MKIII Phase 2 is an increasingly sought-after model. Previously restored by expert Nigel Dawes, it was well presented for sale in dark green with neatly flared wheel-arches shielding its Borrani lace wheels.
Once owned by Victor Gauntlett, the one-time chairman and shareholder of Aston Martin Lagonda, it sold for 52,800 ($86,713) - far more thanits pre-sale estimate.
With only 240 of these HRGs ever made, examples rarely come to auction anymore.
And what made the delightful 1947 model, owned by the late Olympic cyclist Bob Maitland, even more interesting was that it was sold on behalf of the British Cycling Federation, to whom he left 'JM 7075'. The car eventually made 49,500 ($81,301).
Rare but spectacular, this 1947 HRG made $81,301
Other sale highlights include the delightful Bentley 4.25 Litre Special reaching 40,150 ($65,932), and the 1968 Ford Escort Twin-Cam which changed hands for 33,000 ($54,186).
This sale proved that auctions can be the best way to get a good price on your unique vehicle, with the 1960 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire sailing over its top estimate to make 33,275 ($54,640).
As other recent sales have shown, the classic car market is strong at the moment, meaning that if you're looking to get involved and invest- and have a great time doing so - then now could be the right time.
