Friendly, Very Friendly Brownies ;)
I know you're probably reading this and you're wondering "Oh my goodness, why is this student making slutty brownies. Where could he have possibly gotten this idea from?" Just are with me, there's a story behind it. I decided to go with slutty brownies because it's technically my successful pastry dish that I've done on my own. I have done different cakes in the past, but I always needed assistance from others (usually females). I picked this because the first time I had one, it was improvised. My friends and I had a dinner together and we cooked the food. For dessert my friend Kamyra decided to have slutty brownies. It had brownie dough, oreo cookies, and cookie dough in it. At first I didn't want that much chocolate in a brownie because I don't really eat a lot of sweets. I wanted to throw snickers on top of it to make it more appealing to me. In high school, there's this girl we called "chef lex" who was the best at making snicker brownies so that was the only way I'd eat it the dessert. We ended up having a whole argument about it but we decided to compromise on putting the snicker on one side of the pan for however wanted to eat it. The funny thing is she ended liking the snicker side better. All of our friends did but no one wanted to give me credit expect for my boy Chandler. Afterwards I made it myself for a separate potluck occasion and it was a big hit by everyone. Between those two experiences, I've since made it my signature dessert.
Funny story right? However even with such a heartwarming background, what does this have to do with sustainability? Better question, are my friendly, very friendly brownies sustainable? Well, shall we define sustainability again. Sustainability is focusing on meeting the needs of the present without affecting the future. When I really think about this definition, I can not truthfully say that my dish is sustainable, but the way you make it does contribute to how sustainable it is. In the Omnivore's Dilemma, Pollan talks about health problems that plague America today. He says, "According to the surgeon general, obesity today is officially an epidemic; it is arguably the most pressing public health problem we face, costing the healthcare system an estimated $90 billion a year. Three of every five Americans are overweight; one of every five is obese. The disease formerly known as adult-onset diabetes has had to be renamed Type II diabetes since it now occurs so frequently in children. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association predicts that a child born in 2000 has a one-in-three chance of developing diabetes. (An African American child's chances are two in five. ) Because of diabetes and all the other health problems that accompany obesity, today's children may turn out to be the first generation of Americans whose life expectancy will actually be shorter than that of their parents. The problem is not limited to America: The United Nations reported that in 2000 the number of people suffering from overnutrition — a billion — had officially surpassed the number suffering from malnutrition — 800 million." Because of this citing and the fact that my dish is a contributing factor towards diabetes, it can't be sustainable. It affects the social part of the sustainable atmosphere hurting it and because it contributes to health problems that could be fatal, it fails to meet the needs while simultaneously affecting the future. You have to remind yourself however that this is a brownie and it's not like you're forced to eat it. For most people, brownies are more so wants anyways. Just because my dish isn't over all sustainable, does that mean there aren't aspects of sustainability? Being able to make my brownies with premade cookie dough and brownie mix is personally more sustainable for me because I can save money without compromising the meal. Also, making the dish from scratch is more sustainable because it's healthier without messing too much with the taste and final outcome of the dish. When trying to make it completely sustainable with substitutes such as vegan eggs, stevia in place of sugar and himalayan salt, unsweetened chocolate chips, this is were it because expensive and probably messes with the dynamics of the dish as a whole.
Not revising the recipe would keep it economically and equitable but you could argue the brownie mix and pre done cookie dough isn't very ecological since it may not use 100% organic or natural ingredients. At the end of the day, it's about what you want. It's important to know coming in that this brownie isn't the most healthy or sustainable food to eat. However, if you remember that it's better in small increments and shouldn't be consumes on a regular basis you'll be fine. It's okay to treat yourself every once in a while, go enjoy yourselves.
Original Recipe
- 1 pound chocolate chip cookie dough
- 16 Oreo cookies
- 1 box brownie mix (plus whatever extra ingredients the mix calls for)
- 1 bag of fun size snickers
Sustainable Recipe
If you would like to attempt to make the recipe healthier and more sustainable, you could argue that making it from scratch would be better, but you run into the issue of spending more money on a dish that may have a different taste. Also since buying prepared ingredients such as brownies and cookie dough, you save time on your dish. Making everything from scratch with different substitutes might be more harmful on a broader scale because you might have to drive to different stores to find specific ingredients. However, by using substitutes and making your dessert from scratch, you cut out preservatives that can be harmful and calories brought on by the sugars and the dairy that both have so harmful unsustainable history. Regardless, fill free to try this more sustainable option (depending on your views)
- 16 Oreo cookies
- 1 bag of fun size snickers
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 vegan egg substitutes
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup Valrhona cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Fair Trade semisweet chocolate chips (or sugar-free chocolate chips)
Cookie Dough from scratch
- ¾ cup Stevia
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 vegan egg substitutes
- 2 ¼ cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of Himalayan salt
- 1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
Original recipe
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9×9-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Spread cookie dough in an even layer on the bottom. Top with Oreos in an even layer.
- Mix brownie batter according to package instructions; spread on top.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before cutting into 16 even squares.
Sustainability (Making the dough and batter from scratch)
- In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt butter. Add chocolate and stir until melted.
- Remove bowl from heat and set aside. In a large bowl, lightly beat together sugar substitutes, vegan eggs, vanilla, and salt until combined.
- Stir in reserved chocolate mixture. Add flour and cocoa and stir until just combined. Use this batter to make one of the variations listed above
Cookie dough
- Mix sugar substitutes, butter, vanilla and vegan eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips.

Thanks Julie. A summary is Geoffrey talks about being at Achnacarry for 8 weeks, chilling knife fighting in Burma, Changi Prison, war criminals, and Hong Kong.
Being in the Jungle at night must have been pretty nerve racking.

Hello Julie
This is very interesting as Geoffrey mentions killing with your 'Stiletto knife'.....so some individuals must have retained them as Vic Ralph recited to me that he was never issued one for Burma etc.....but my dad still had his...so I suppose some men must still have had them.
Thanks for this.

Y'all! How have you been? I've been off gallivanting. I meant to take a bunch of fabulous pictures to show you, dutifully packed my camera, then … never used it once. Um, how about we say I was busy doing top secret spy stuff? Sounds plausible, yes?
Anyway, while I was out being photographically negligent, I was also reading The Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston in keeping with the spirit of Halloween. It's about smallpox with a side of anthrax, not the supernatural kind of demons but I think perhaps infectious diseases get some bonus marks on the scary front on account of being indisputably real.
If I have occasion to think of smallpox, I generally think of it as an old-timey thing like slide rules or ladies' evening gloves. I seem to recall a couple of conversations where I brought it up a a hazard of time travel since we have fuck all immunity nowadays. (Are time travellers ever quarantined? I can't believe science fiction has overlooked this, but I can't think of an example offhand.) I hadn't really thought what a stellar accomplishment eradicating smallpox was but it absolutely is.
Then I had to answer Ebola screening questions to get back into the country. Scary stuff, indeed. (While I'm not personally worried about catching Ebola, it's worrisome nevertheless.)

Posts for tag: root canal
Root canal treatment can help save teeth that have become infected or inflamed. Our Billerica, MA, dentist, Dr. Kunio Chan of One Dental Care, discusses a few signs and symptoms that may occur if you need a root canal and explains what happens during the therapy.
Signs of infected or inflamed teeth
When an infection or inflammation develops in the soft pulp in the center of your tooth, you may notice that:
- Pressure causes pain. Pressing on the tooth or chewing on it can trigger pain.
- Pain never goes away. Whether you have constant or intermittent pain, pain may have become an unwelcome part of your life.
- Severe pain occurs suddenly. Sudden, severe pain may be a sign of an abscess, a bacterial infection in your pulp. Pain is often accompanied by a fever, swollen lymph nodes and facial swelling. In addition to a root canal, you'll also need antibiotics to ensure that the infection doesn't spread to other parts of your body.
- Temperature changes cause pain. Infected or inflamed teeth are often very sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. Your morning cup of coffee or nightly bowl of ice cream can cause pain that lingers for about a half hour.
- Your gums are swollen. Swelling in the gums around your tooth may occur if you need a root canal. If a small pimple forms on the gum, you may have an abscess.
- Your tooth has darkened. A color change may occur if you experience inflammation or infection in your tooth pulp.
How do root canal treatments help?
Root canal therapy eliminates the source of your pain by removing the pulp. Luckily, your tooth can function normally even if the pulp has been removed. After you receive a local anesthetic, your tooth will be opened to reveal the pulp. In addition to removing the pulp, the inside of the tooth and the root canals will be cleaned and shaped with a tiny file. After the tooth drains, you'll receive a flexible, rubber-based filling. In most cases, you'll need to return to our Billerica office a few weeks after your root canal therapy to receive a crown that will help protect your tooth.
Are you concerned about pain or symptoms? Call our Billerica, MA, dentist, Dr. Chan of One Dental Care, at (978) 667-0691 to schedule an appointment.
One of the most effective techniques for saving decayed or injured teeth is the root canal treatment. Yet when many people hear they need it, they become nervous at the prospect.
Much of this stems from a common misunderstanding that undergoing a root canal is painful. It's not — today's anesthetics are quite effective in numbing pain during a procedure, and mild pain relievers like ibuprofen are usually sufficient to manage any discomfort afterwards.
In fact, a root canal treatment relieves pain caused by decay within a tooth. As decay progresses, it can enter the interior known as the pulp, which contains bundles of nerves and blood vessels. It attacks these nerves causing pain and infection. If the infection progresses through passageways known as root canals that are in the roots of the tooth, the pain can intensify. More important, the tooth is in danger of loss as the root and connective tissues that hold the tooth in place are injured from the spreading infection.
During a root canal treatment, we access the pulp by drilling a small access hole, usually in the biting surface or in the rear of a front tooth. Once we enter the pulp chamber we remove all the contaminated tissue. Once thoroughly cleansed, we fill the empty chamber and canals with a special filling (usually gutta percha) to prevent future infection. The access hole is then sealed and at a subsequent visit we strongly recommend placing a permanent crown to provide further protection from damage to the tooth.
Root canal treatments are quite common. All general dentists have been trained in endodontic treatment and can perform most types of procedures. More difficult cases (like a complex root canal network that may be hard to access) may require the services of an endodontist, a specialist in root canals. Endodontists use advanced techniques and specialized microscopic equipment to treat complicated situations.
It's actually good news if we recommend you undergo a root canal treatment — it means your tooth has a good chance of survival once it's disinfected and the decay is removed. But don't delay: the sooner we can treat your tooth, the better your chances of a healthy outcome.
If you would like more information on root canal treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Common Concerns about Root Canal Treatment."
If a pain you've been feeling goes away, you might believe the problem that caused it is gone too. But that doesn't mean it has, especially with a tooth. An excruciating toothache that suddenly stops should still be examined. Here's why.
Tooth decay often works its way into a tooth's innermost layer, the pulp, which contains bundles of nerves and other tissue. The infection attacks the nerves, which send pain signals to the brain. As the infection persists, though, the nerves will eventually die and will no longer be capable of sending pain signals — hence the "mysterious" end of your toothache.
Although the pain has stopped, the infection is very much active in the tooth and will continue to work its way through the root canals to the jaw. And ultimately, the pain will return as the infection invades the bone.
But there's good news: a tooth in this condition can be saved with a procedure known as root canal therapy. We drill a small hole in the tooth to access the pulp, usually through the biting surface of back teeth or in the rear in front teeth. Once inside the pulp chamber, we clean out the infected and dead tissue. We then fill the empty pulp chamber and the root canals with a special filling and seal the access hole. In a few weeks the tooth receives a life-like crown to further protect it from re-infection and fracture years later.
A straightforward root canal treatment can be performed by a general dentist. If there are complications like a complex root canal network, however, then the skills and specialized equipment of an endodontist (a specialist in root canals) may be needed.
A root canal treatment resolves the real cause of a toothache that suddenly stopped, as well as puts an end to future pain and infection related to the tooth. More importantly, it can save your tooth and add many more years to its life.
If you would like more information on tooth pain, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "A Severe Toothache."

Lunch Time
During my stay at Paris for last 3 and half years, most of my lunch at work was at shared corporate cafeteria between three companies. I appreciated the price, quality of that food always particularly the desserts and varieties of yogurts available there. May be I understand, why French cuisine is considered to be world's most refined cuisine. Unfortunately, I am not a food critic that I can pen down those exotic tastes to get water in your mouth. But as I think about them I roll my tongue ;)
In general, breakfast in France is a small affair consisting of croissants & bread rolls with some butter and jam to spread which is usually accompanied by milky coffee or hot chocolate or café noir. Since there is no set time for breakfast in France it makes them bit hungry by noon :) . Le déjeuner (lunch) was once a two hour mid-day meal but has recently seen a trend toward the one hour lunch break.
It is common at corporate world to be given lunch vouchers as part of their employee benefits. These can be used in most restaurants, supermarkets and traiteurs; however people having lunch in this way typically do not eat all three dishes of a traditional lunch due to price and time considerations. A sandwich followed by a dessert is quite commonly seen and can be found ready-made at bakeries and supermarkets, cafes, bistros or restaurants. Even many restaurants, offer a lower priced prix fixe menu at lunch which is not available in the evening.
I have been a silent participator for most of the times as I use to feel shy to communicate with my linguistic skill of French. These three pictures are the only I have from all those lunch time I had with my colleagues. These were taken at very end of our stay with Pamela's new phone camera. I always felt that I was going to miss those lunch hours if I move out of Paris; now I write about them before they become distant memory.
At my current location in Bombay we do not have any in-house cafeteria at our office (a small office compared to Paris). There are plenty of restaurants around to choose from or I can order for lunch at my desk. With the last one you can work as you take a bite. I am sure any health freak will tell that it is not good for soul and body. Food is supposed to be taken properly so that you chew and eat in peace while a meal in France is not simply a moment dedicated to the nourishment of the body; it is indeed a time for social and even spiritual replenishment.
In Modern India, where average work hours are getting longer and people are slogging more at work. This may be very disturbing social and physiological changes and might have adverse effect as the dynamic working population grow older.
Aids Awareness - Paris
P.S. This is an old post which we just got from our PC along with the shipment.
To start with gift Pamela got from François is very special. I am sure she can write a new post about the same. I am just going to give you brief detail on the same.
It is stitching project (cross-stitch) with 290 x 359 stitches using 70 color threads. François not only gave the design print-out along with instructions but also got the black piece of cloth which is not that easily available in the market.
If cross-stitch is not your cup of tea and you prefer coffee like me. Check her project to be started . It is going to be a very long and difficult project to finish. Hopefully, Pamela takes enough time as well as break in-between otherwise it will cost her eyes ;).Not only this, she even got bedside lamp of effiel tower & salwar-kurta from two of her close friends.
book on photography of Paris. I am sure it must have got lots of curious look from others while getting packed. On the flight there was a nice one page article about POST-IT how it was invented in 3M and how it waited for long time before marketed and sold to customers. I really can not think my office days without it like millions others across the globe.
Thanks a lot guys if you are reading it !! Well there will be more post on those last hours ..... keep reading.
Last days in Paris
But this post is not about why we left Paris and why moved to India. It is all about how we spent our last one week in Paris. Before leaving, we wanted to take pictures of those which makes Paris so desired destination for tourists. No doubt it is one of the most visited place in the world be it for Eiffel Tower or Champs Elysees.
As our time for departure was coming close we tried to visit few of the well known Brasseries or Bistros to hidden street corners to passages away from busy tourist area. We did our best, but weather was not very happy with our move and unexpectedly August was very grey with clouds and rain all those thirty-one days. It is a month when almost every thing stands still in Paris or France from bakery to fashion-store to office- "tout le monde". As every one heads towards sea "au bord de la mer" for getting "bronzee" sun bathing. If you come back from vacation with out noticeable change in color your vacation is not well spent.
Not only, we took lots of pictures and uploaded to our gallery but we reorganized them. It was very long and meticulous process with thousands of pictures to sort and write their details as much as possible. In a way it was great to know more about Paris. All credit goes to Pamela for the same. With less than 16 hours to go before the movers were to arrive I rushed to La Defense to take pictures,
YES!! It was crazy but its worth for people like me (amateur photographer) as it allowed me to capture those tall buildings with blue sky after washed by rain.
Although, I am not sure if any one going to visit Paris is going to read this post and check our pictures or not. But, somehow I got a feeling of "been there – did this…did that…" and I am very content from heart for the same
As we spent our last two days in cleaning after the movers left before handing over our apartment keys to our landlord. In this process with lots of small things to be done on other hand at last moment like closing the bank account, getting official papers from office etc. we got so tired and exhausted that we could not effort any long to run and take pictures of "Parisians in roller blade".
This post is getting bit longer than I thought so I will split the last few days and hours in another one. Keep reading ….

The good side of it is that I am the very few fortunate one to run at this age at various places but rest remains as silent voice in vast population of India.

Italian aroma…
Green plate
Having salad has got few plus points like less time consuming to prepare, don't heat up a hot kitchen, very healthy especially in this hot Paris summer…..which means salad season. Besides watermelon or strawberry smoothie, salad is the perfect summer food. They're light, crisp and refreshing-- especially when paired with a dressing and they're versatile with one's imagination can invent.
So we had this lettuce leaves with deseeded olives, cherry tomatoes & cheese which was enrobed with a salad dressing of balsamic vinegar, olive oil and few drops of lemon juice. At end drizzle it with salt and whisk together in a large shallow bowl. One can serve in small portions as an accompaniment to roast chicken, or grilled or poached fish. This dressing is actually to highlight not to overpower the salad ingredients. Too much salad dressing will weigh down the salad ingredients and mask their flavors. So...
C'est fou - part II !
Finally, world cup football came to an end where France lost to Italy. For me France lost but at same time Italy neither win as they just waited for the final penalty shoot out to happen. I do not like the way Italian play football in general. They make it dull and boring. Italian and their relation to non Italian footballer are well known. And this time the whole nation is waiting for the verdict of match fixing in Italian league. Well there must be google of blogs and news on the same but I could not stop making my post. This post is not about what happened in the last 10 minutes of the final match.
FIFA at least should change the rules and make it like tennis when there will be at least 2 goals difference for penalty shoot out; as just one goal difference makes it similar to toss a coin to find the winner.
Well being in Paris it makes it special when France is playing the final. France is a team which had great difficulties in qualifying for the world cup with a draw against Israel but at the end they entered group 'G' as top and found Switzerland again in the same group like the qualifier. In the first 2 matches of the world cup they did not played any thing great that one can expect them to be in Final. But in the knock out stage they really played well and they deserve their well earned place in the final.
A big credit goes to Zidane, and once again he reached the status of a God in France. But the way it ended will remain controversial for years to come. May be like that of 1986 Quarter Final between Argentina and England. Where every one talks about the first goal of Maradona which was a clear hand ball and he should have seen a red-card for that but no one talks about the very next goal where he beat 6 English player before scoring one of the beautiful goal of all time to my memory.
Yes, it was a good match but the face of French man on Monday after the final was so pathetic that looked like they lost every thing to a natural disaster or something. In France, I am sure this incident is going to be in the media for a long time unless they win world cup soon and forget all about.
C'est fou !
Uncertain Voyage
Anyway, we went to there embassy in-person for submitting all documents which went on very smoothly; women in-charge said it will take 15 days to get our visa. On asking whether we should buy ticket for Morocco? hmm... its OK to get it and sends us to her higher authority to get it confirmed. Now this Monsieur says gently... after 10 days you should get it without any problem so its OK to buy ticket. Being excited we started to plan our trip and get more information. But Santanu being skeptical never showed any interest in buying the ticket and always postponed the same. But at same time he was so excited that just day before his CISM test he made a phone call to find out VISA status. Well it was negative, he went to consulate in-person on Monday 12th June and found the same negative answer and was told to come by on Thursday 15th June to take visa for a journey that was supposed to start on Saturday 17th. Well, Thursday didn't bring any luck either which made Santanu furious.
Its well said "man proposes and god disposes". The whole euphoria vanished like a whiff of smoke as neither on 10th nor on 15th day of submission we got VISA. Since this holidays were forced one which means if Santanu doesn't uses it he doesn't gain anything.

Deja Vu
I am not sure if you happened to experience a very low probability situation or event in life which you can compare with winnnig a lottery or getting struck by thunder. Statistically the second one has more chance. To explain the same I take to you to recent past...
I had that bizarre experience in the month on December while returning from work took a bus. There was one gentleman very well groomed of dark complexion And I met the same person next day (Saturday) in a different bus while going out. I could not believe myself as that person did get down well ahead of me. And I do not recollect that person from my earlier experience of three years when I used the same bus. I do not deny finding the same faces in my bus. But that is while going towards the same direction at almost same time.
Now coming back today; I found yesterday around 10:30 PM (Paris Time) some one posted in a web groups of having some mock test for the exam I was taking today with Prometric. So I sent a desperate email to him asking for eleventh hour help if he can share the same. And to my utter surprise he sent it and I passed the exam while taking it at home.
When I started my test at the computer to my utter surprise all the questions and their respective options were excatly the true copy of what I received in the morning. It was deja vu & I passed with 100% score.
Well it was a big luck or mercy of God. Its a mere chance of finding that web forum in 11th hour and that person really replies with help. He could have been on vacation or could have crashed his hard drive or my question set could be a real hard one :( but it just happened :D
This is just another reason I do not like too much stress on certification on resume as it sometimes might give you a wrong picture about the person strength and skill sets when you evaluate his/her resume. Now a days all big companies are making big bucks on certifications and all the head-hunters are asking for the same.
Envy me if you can !
I need to elaborate more on the word envy and why I chose. As in first version of this post I did not do that. If you have grown up with green devil with a tail and a broken TV advertisement I am sure you know what I am talking about.
Back to Mordor
Well it has been a long time I bloged. I am back to Paris; Pamela will join me in a month time. The title of the post could not be better as I am missing the sun after returning from India. I like rain after very hot summer or sunny days with cool breeze. I really can not take those dark cloudy days which makes me feel gloomy. As looking out of my window can't even make out is it 11 AM or 3 PM. But if you still do not know what I am talking about ask hobbits ;)
My vacation at India was great. I will try to post about few incidents later. And hope not to forget them before my little brain gets clogged with daily activities but at least I should write about changing face of India where guys are getting pedicure in a so called normal hair dressing saloon. That should be followed by experience of flying with Air Deccan low cost no frill airlines, trip to Sikkim and Dooars (Forests of North Bengal). There are more but I think I should keep them a secret for while ....The end should be flying from Doha to Paris.
Well, I just got back my PC yesterday hope it works for next 2 years without any trouble as I really do not have the momentum to keep the big fight.Anywayz, I am happy that I am going to meet some friends soon this weekend. One to be mentioned is I am going to meet with Shubhankar after 11 years. Will keep posted...

I was able to replicate the issue when I test the jotform http://www.jotform.me/form/42862300743450 using IE browser
The product items images were not properly rendered on form
I was able to isolate the issue to be happening only when using the older IE10 browser.
Using other browser does not represent the same issue.
I will submit a bug ticket report about the issue to our higher team support so they can investigate this further.

Finally, pesticide residue analysis are regularly carried out in the production area by public agencies or independent laboratories mandated by the producers.

DescriptionKyoto, Japan is a little like a trifle. Yes, yes, it makes for one sweet vacation and, just like dessert, you'll want to go back for seconds. But, our analogy goes much, much deeper. At first glance, it may just seem like an ordinary, glass-and-steal, bustling, chaotic city. However, if you scrape off those modern layers, what's underneath is one of the culturally rich cities in the world. Second only to Rome for World Heritage Sites, Kyoto's collection of shrines and temples is magnificent. Since Kyoto was the once the capital of Japan from 794 until 1868 and home to some of the most prominent emperors, shoguns and monks, it has an incredible collection of palaces, shrines, and temples. Like much of Japan, Kyoto is constantly growing and evolving with the modern world, but many of the early architecture and landmarks remain. Although its ancient ambiance is what makes Kyoto so unique, there are some benefits to the modern world creeping in. Kyoto is a massive city with tourist attractions spread across many miles, so their easy to use public and private transportation systems are lifesavers.

The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) has released its new proposal to overhaul the state's solar incentive program. The proposed program, Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART), would replace the current SREC program. This new incentive program will lower costs for ratepayers, and provide stability for project developers by letting them know what their incentives will be for a long term period of 10-20 years. The program is structured so that smaller commercial and residential projects will get higher subsidies than larger commercial projects. Low-income and public benefit projects will also get better rates, as will projects built on land that can't be used for another purpose, such as brownfields, landfills, rooftops, or parking lot canopies, and projects paired with energy storage. Several solar advocacy groups released a joint press release in support of the proposed program. The current SREC program will continue through the end of the year while the SMART program goes through the state approval process. Read more here.

This is less of a REST API question as it is a "how to I consume returned REST API lists of data" in .NET. I can retrieve and view the return raw data (example: grade center columns as a list) but I cannot figure out how deserialze the information into a .NET generic collection or data table. Single row returns such as a course or a user isn't a problem by using (as example) JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of Course)(content).
Can someone provide a link or a snippet of how to deseralize a list using Newtonsoft.Json ?

MGO Bluetooth headset still won't make you cooler than Snake
On June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 will launch for the PS3. When you pick up that special edition Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle you might want to pick up one more thing to improve your experience, or at least to push your MGS geekdom a little farther.
It's been announced that the Metal Gear Solid 4 styled Bluetooth headset will be coming out alongside the game. Since it's Bluetooth that means that not only will you be able to use it while playing Metal Gear Online (or other PS3 games that support online voice communication) online but you'll also be able to use it with your cellphone. Just be sure to keep the talk low when it comes to nuclear powered mechs.
Other then the look it appears to be a pretty standard headset, with 8 hour talk time and 160 hour standby. With a $59.99 price tag, this is probably something that only serious MGS fans will buy. Now, if you don't mind I've got to start saving up some money…I have something to buy on June 12th.

Background Shopping Art
Over the last year or so, I have been visiting SamCart everywhere. Shopping Art
As an internet entrepreneur, I pay extra careful attention to the shopping carts that people are utilizing and I started noticing more individuals using SamCart.
Then I started seeing advertisements from SamCart, so that I signed up to their email list. I got a few mails from their support being hyped up by them, so I decided to give it a shot.
So, did it live this up into the hype? Here is my frank SamCart review.
What Is SamCart?
SamCart is a web-based checkout platform Features conversion-optimized checkout templates together with one-click upsell, order subscription bump and payment strategy capacities that are intended to maximize profits.
How SamCart Works
Here are the Specific steps that SamCart walks You through to help you sell your products on the web:
Add a new product (electronic or physical)
choose the payment arrangement you want (possibly a one-time payment, payment program, or subscription)
Select the checkout page template you would like (SamCart's templates are all amazing and they have been demonstrated to convert)
Customize the checkout pages to match your personal website and manufacturer
Insert upsells, produce coupons, split-tests, etc..
If you are someone that wants to establish a shopping cart SamCart is right for you. You can wake up and running in under half an hour. I set all my stuff up but that's probably because I saw a YouTube videos about it beforehand.
Click here to start your SamCart trial.
SamCart Features
The biggest reason that SamCart has managed to Because they offer so many features that assist online retailers earn more cash, grow so fast is. Whether you're running an e-commerce store or selling info products, these features can help you make more money and have SamCart pay for itself rather quickly.
Affiliate Center
One of the greatest things about selling goods on the internet is that you could enlist an whole army of affiliates to promote your stuff. You don't have to spend time promoting your products, nor do you have to spend a dime. You only pay them when they produce a sale for you, if you're able to get the term to be spread by affiliates. Shopping Art
SamCart lets you make your personal army of affiliates that will sell your goods for you together with the Affiliate Center. SamCart automatically creates an Affiliate Signup page for you – .
You'll find a link for this page, so you can send it out to prospective affiliates, place it on your website, or send it from your email list. Whenever my subscribers go months without purchasing anything from me, I encourage them to become affiliates. Hey, if they aren't buying anything, it's still a way for me to gain from them.
Every time a possible affiliate fills out your application, they'll be shown a message that their accounts is"pending approval". You will find a notification that they implemented via email when that occurs. It'll also have buttons to accept or reject the individual's application. If you want, you can set this up to automatically accept affiliates.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50%. However, you can personalize this payout to whatever you desire. You may pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per purchase ) or a proportion. I've had a lot of success by increasing the affiliate for affiliates to provide a bonus to sell even more to them.
Checkout Pages
One of the coolest things about SamCart is they have 18 professionally designed templates which are proven to convert. I don't think ALL of the templates will be that good, but I do love almost all of them. My favorite is the classic template.
The apparent big advantage here is that the templates are used by other proven marketers, so it is possible to avoid the countless hours of designing and analyzing your own pages.
All of the templates have hope components like testimonials, warranties, and safety reassurances that give your clients the peace of mind they will need to boost your conversions.
As soon as you pick your checkout page, then you can easily customize it by changing the colors of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You might even pick the fields that you want to add and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your client is purchasing (I've discovered bullet points to be especially useful, and that's why you see them on all my earnings pages).
All of the pages are mobile responsive, which is super important within our ever-increasingly mobile world. One of the reasons I changed to SamCart was since my prior checkout page supplier was not as responsive as I desired it to be. Shopping Art
I do a good deal of advertising on Google AdWords, in which a lot of my traffic comes from cellular. I discovered that in a greater rate, which meant I flushed my ad spend down the toilet, folks were abandoning with my old shopping cart. SamCart helped my increase my conversions from cellular.
Plus, they have a cool"sandbox" mode, which enables you make sure everything is working before going live with your goods. With my cart that is previous, I had to print everything and test it. I hated doing that. With SamCart, I will test obligations without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
Click Upsells
Once I told my friends I was writing a SamCart review, they told me I must stress how amazing their click upsells are, and that I agree.
If you are selling on the internet and you aren't offering upsells, you're leaving a lot of cash on the table. In reality, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35% of its earnings were from its upselling efforts. If Amazon is making that much money from it, don't you think it deserves your consideration?
An upsell is a strategy that helps you increase your average order value. You probably experience upsells the time and don't even know it. You don't HAVE to get the elongated warranty for your car, but it's there as an upsell for those who don't want to be concerned about maintenance. You don't need to get dessert after dinner, but restaurants certain like to offer it.
Continuing with the dessert example, these small $8 cakes are not a massive sum of money, but if you're the restaurant selling tons of them each night, the money adds up.
SamCart makes this process seamless by offering upsells where all of the client has to do is click on one single button and purchase your offer. In accordance with them, SamCart users who use one click upsells typically increase their average customer value by a whopping 68.1 percent. Shopping Art

One Page Checkout
This attribute is unique as it provides you the capability to include many different payment options onto a single checkout page. For my $997 online training course, I utilize Teachable, and even they don't provide this feature. If a client wants the payment program, I have to have separate checkout pages. I WISH I could use SamCart because of that.
The 1 page checkout takes multiple payments into a whole new level because it keeps traffic on the page while they decide how to pay. You understand how important it is to keep your visitors on the page, if you've ever sold anything on the internet.
Cross Selling Bumps
Cross-selling is a strategy to sell products that are associated with the one the customer already owns. A cross-sell would be gas or car insurance if a client buys a vehicle from you.
You might be familiar with this as bundling. You are able to raise your profits when you package the principal merchandise and products jointly. McDonald's does by purchasing fries and beverages with their 14, so extremely well.
Subscription Saver
When I first started selling subscription products online, I was naive enough to think that everyone would pay in time, every moment. I guessed that if I was good enough honor my obligations and to pay my bills, so would everybody else.
Boy, was I naive. Turns out there are some real winners on the internet. People who decline fees or cancel credit cards just to get out of making payments. Your subscription income is already gone after this occurs. With any lawful action (such as sending a demand letter… if you've got the client's address) you can not get your cash. Sad.
But today with SamCart, your subscriptions have been safeguarded from diminished obligations and expired credit cards. Every time a payment fails, SamCart sends your customer an email on your behalf – that the email has a link where customers can update the payment they have on file, directly . This means that you don't have to waste your precious time hounding your clients .
If a customer fails to upgrade the payment information after several tries, SamCart automatically simplifies the registration. SamCart marks them as"delinquent" on your account so that you understand who they are and so you have the chance to reach out to those customers. Shopping Art
A/B Testing
Is not it bizarre that people talk about split testing their sales webpages, their sites that are supersized, their email subject lines, and much more… but they don't ever speak about testing their homepage?
It appears crazy, right?
When you figure that a large part of your potential clients are abandoning your checkout site, do not you believe a half-decent split test might help you get yet another customer??
I do too.
Luckily, SamCart delivers the capacity to conduct live split tests. In the realm of shopping carts, this is AMAZING. If you have a abandonment rate along with your split-testing snags you ONE customer, you may effectively double your earnings. Yes, DOUBLE SALES. Just like that.
SamCart lets you change any setting you want, so it is possible to test any variation that tickles your fancy. You can change the template, try out a different warranty (I've found the more, the better), eliminate some areas (I've discovered the less, the greater ), and more.
Once you've got your variations created, SamCart mechanically tests between your own variations. You don't have to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" section in the item's preferences to see how the variants do. Once you find a winner, SamCart allows you to easily disable the loser.
The one thing you can't split-test with SamCart is your product's cost. If you want to do so, you'll need to create two products and run a test between those two products.
When it comes to A/B testing, experience tells me that you should test the big stuff first (like entirely different templates) and work your way down to the second details. Oh, and wait until you have a statistically significant sample size until you call it a day.
Why Many Pages Suck
Based on what study you read, 80 percent of people Which"add to cart" in your website will abandon that cart. You may add a significant quantity of money, if it is possible to get just a small amount of those people to convert.
SamCart will help you boost conversions. Shopping Art
SamCart's entire value proposition is that their checkout page templates are tested to the gills and they've been demonstrated to convert better than their competition. You ought to ensure that you're maximizing your conversions if you sell things online, and SamCart will help you do that.
Plus, most checkout pages aren't designed to maximize the amount of profit which you get from every sell. Things like upsells and order bumps help you include more profit.
By way of example, I sell a $97 PDF on my site. I wouldn't be able to bring an upsell if I used a checkout form. Because I provide an upsell, my offer is taken by roughly one out of every three people .
Because of this one simple attribute, I am adding an average of $20 to each and every order of the product. That's like giving myself more than a 20% raise by having that feature. Which means I can devote an extra $20 on advertising to acquire a customer and grow my business quicker.
My Favorite SamCart Feature
My SamCart feature is hands-down the Client and training service that they provide. They have tons of videos in what's known as their"Knowledge Base" that shows you how you can use their applications (although it's already pretty easy) and they provide a lot of education about how best to make more money if you're selling online.
They have a complete library of product info, webinars, tutorials, and more. The education alone is worth the price. I needed to include this fact in my SamCart review.

I didn't get a Opportunity to incorporate SamCart with a Lot of resources, simply because I don't use that many. I use utilize Stripe, Drip, PayPal and OptinMonster.
Interested in learning more about OptinMonster? Have a look at my review here. If you're interested in knowing more I wrote an overview of that too.
SamCart lets you seamlessly sync with a bunch of tools, including email, marketing automation, membership, and payment processing. It was super easy for me to incorporate my system with SamCart and I envision that it would be the same for nearly all individuals out there.
I have been studying on various forums how easy it was for individuals to incorporate Kajabi, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, MailChimp, Aweber, and more. However, my toolbox is fairly straightforward, so I can not discuss this in depth in my SamCart review. Shopping Art
How Much Can SamCart Price?
SamCart has three Distinct plans:
Fundamental ($19 per month)
Guru ($99 per month)
Premium ($199 per month)
Even SamCart is an absolute steal with the features. I've discovered that the Fundamental is good enough but if you are doing a great deal of business on the internet, you want to acquire the Pro plan.
Also remember that if you're wanting to save some money, they give you a discount if you pay yearly. I recommend that you make the most of their free trial (to ensure it's definitely right for you) and then paying yearly to conserve money. If you pay annually, the Pro plan is $888 per year (which saves you $300) and the Premium program is $1,788 annually (which saves you $600).
SamCart Offers a 14-Day Free Trial (and Money-Back Gurantee)
If you are on the fence about attempting SamCart, they Offer a free trial.
This means that you can test them out absolutely free, and if they don't make you more cash than your old cart (or you simply hate it for some reason) then you can fire them. You are able to cancel and walk away.
Plus, they have a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee anyway, further lowering the risk.
According to SamCart, the typical SamCart seller makes up to 5X over the average seller on different platforms. What do you need to lose? Begin now. Shopping Art

Along with its Marxist categories, post modern criticism rehashes many such quaint themes from mid twentieth century existentialism. Said ascription to Naipaul of a fear of or of provides another example: in a sweeping moral and intellectual relativism all answers are postponed, the questions themselves are disrupted, are marked in advance as illegitimate, and what persists is a weird commitment to the new mystical cloud of vehement unknowing.

We're nicely into the 21st century, and we have not seen any of these flying automobiles or automated kitchens every person kept predicting for the future." There is at least a single newfangled invention that is ultimately materialized, even though it may possibly not be as awesome as a flying auto, but it's potentially more valuable for exhausted home owners after a long week at operate: the robot lawn mower.

Effectively located out about flipping on its side via google. Got the snap ring off and the transmission is out! eccentrically connected to a base shaft rotatably supported by bearings disposed on push-pull form electric mowing machine. However, I would be tempted to go with the Husqvarna equivalents, as they are a single of the market leaders, and their technologies (and style) looks to have had a heavy influence on, if not been actively employed for, other major brands on the market.
There is a mention of a spot to mount ultrasound avoidance, but I cannot see the alternatives to in fact get that anyplace. There are sophistries too in the mowers as a comfortably adjustable seat and other attachments. Just assume of the need it is employed and the budget planned for the lawn mower. Removing the blade does NOT let you take the belt off. Some thing else has to come off and that is what I asked.
But robotic lawn mowers are fully different. The one particular biggest security benefit robotic lawn mowers have over standard lawn mowers is that you do not have to stand behind it or ride on leading of it. By removing the individual, this alone eliminates most causes of lawn mower injuries.

Why Your Partner Criteria is All Wrong
You are on a first date: how do you know if the person sitting across from you is going to be your next Mr. or Ms. Right? If you are the woman I met on Saturday night, you will make him skip. She tells me, 'This shows that he is up for a laugh'. She then added, 'Oh, don't worry. I always go first to show them how'. Another woman said that if he doesn't share his food, it's an immediate no-go. Both of these women have good points. Who wouldn't want a partner who was up for a laugh and shares their food? But then I think of my wonderful husband, who would, flat out refuse to do the 'skip' test, (although he has a wonderful sense of humour) and certainly doesn't share his food with me (much to my annoyance). I would have missed out on a wonderful partner, if I had based our potential future relationship on these two criteria.
But these aren't the only situations where people are using the wrong criteria to assess potential partners. One client told me that because she was assertive and confident, that the man would have to be the one to approach her otherwise, she believed, she would railroad right over him. I understand why this woman would need someone equally confident but, once again, the criteria she was using, was completely ineffective. My husband is self-assured, and certainly an equal partner for me, but would have never come up to me without knowing me or someone whom I was with. Her criteria means she is attracting the wrong guys and missing out on the right ones. There are far too many case of women making up their own yard sticks, without any merit, and using them to assess potential partners. They're doing themselves more harm than good.
Now, if you are a guy, you are probably in the other direction, you don't have enough criteria. For guys, it's a matter of three simple criteria to gauge Ms. Right:
- All of your friends are settling down. This has less to do with the woman, and everything to do with your timing in life.
- She is pretty. Not pretty as in a model, or everyone stares when she enters a room, kind of way. It's just that you think she's pretty (and it doesn't hurt if your friends agree, although not too much. You don't want your friends lusting over your lady)
- She is nice to you. You want to be with someone who you look forward to share your space with. Not a drama queen, not someone uptight, just nice.
There, that's it. No skipping involved for the women. I am not suggesting that this is a better way. In fact, most of my male clients are very perplexed when I ask them what their 5 Deal-breakers are for a partner (5 must-have criteria for a future mate). 'Oh well, I've never thought of that before' is the frequent response.
Whether you are looking for a man or a woman, it's important to think about what is really important to you: the five deal-breakers. Everything else is either a Christmas wish list or something sparkly, that's not important, but very distracting. You can read more about deal-breakers here. Or, better yet, sign up for some private coaching with the expert ( I don't care what Gove says, an expert is very useful), and know that you are completely on track.

Seems like it's The Busiest Day Ever here at CSBG. So when you're done paging through our most popular post ever down below from Joe, or maybe the other half-dozen cool entries that've popped up today, feel free to give a quick browse to this one. You might get a cheap laugh out of it. I'll be sad if we don't get at least 350 comments, though. Bring the love!
Anyway, today, as you know, is Groundhog Day. I searched and searched for a cool groundhog-related character, but the best I could find was Guerrilla Groundhog, and I don't think that's going to cut it, cool as it sounds.
No, I had to go a bit abstract for today. Looks like six more weeks of winter...
33. The Shadow
...'cause I saw a Shadow! (This joke would be funnier if this year wasn't one of the very few where bloody Phil didn't see a shadow. Bah!)
WHO KNOWS what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The SHADOW knows! Lamont Cranston (though that's but an assumed identity), the dark avenger of the night, with the ability to become invisible in darkness and cloud men's minds!
You may say I'm cheating a bit. After all, the Shadow first appeared in the pulps, precursors to comics, and became famous because of the radio show. The Shadow, however, has starred in numerous comic series, some quite good, some quite bizarre. He's had a comic strip, a pulp magazine, a series of novels, and a dreadful movie starring Alec Baldwin. Comics have given him his strongest home in years.
"Shadow Comics" was published by a company called Street & Smith in the 1940's, and lasted 101 issues, overall, which is the Shadow's longest run in comics. He later moved to Archie, but they quickly turned him into a superhero character, and that series bombed. It just ain't the Shadow without the bitchin' hat and scarf, or twin pistols.
Then he moved to DC, where the majority of his comics appearances have been since; I do know there was series that reprinted the daily strip, I believe, but I've forgotten who published it, and don't have my issues handy. It was awesome, though. I think I have one where he fights a shark, and stuff. Coolness.
With the Shadow, you've got his neat supporting cast. My favorite's Moe, the cab driver who ferries him about from place to place. You can't forget Harry Vincent, though, or love interest Margo Lane. And his archnemesis? None other than Shiwan Khan!
Yeah, that's the Shadow's head on a robot body, drawn by our friend from yesterday, Kyle Baker. Sweet.
The Shadow's drifted out of the public consciousness, but never forget; if it wasn't for the Shadow, we might not have Batman, or Green Hornet, or any similar superheroes. Yeah, Crimson Avenger got there first, but it's the Shadow who will be remembered most by history, and who had the most influence on the crimefighter genre.
Yeah, so the Alec Baldwin movie didn't go over so well. Sam Raimi, however, has finally gotten the rights to produce a new Shadow movie! He tried to get them years back and couldn't, which is why we got Darkman. Unfortunately, Bruce Campbell's a little too old to play the Shadow (probably), so who do you think can fill the scarf? I think Adrien Brody's got the nose for it, myself...

SEGA is once again teasing that a potential Vanquish release is on the horizon. Developer PlatinumGames first released the title back in 2010 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and fans have long been clamoring for a PC port of the third-person shooter. The studio hinted that such a development may be in the cards, and today the official SEGA Twitter account has added more fuel to the fire: a new tweet shows an emblem from the game with the caption '2017'.
Pictured below, the tweet bears the emblem of Vanquish main character Victor Zaitsev - the Order of the Russian Star - heavily implying that a PC Port of the game may be announced (or even released) later this year. Those hoping that it may indicate a sequel aren't entirely out of luck either, as PlatinumGames has previously stated that the studio would love to make a Vanquish 2.
May 8, 2017
PlatinumGames' co-founder Atsushi Inaba had even gone so far as to tease the potential PC port last year while being interviewed. When asked if a PC port of the game was a possibility for the future, he stated "I wonder... If you stop recording, I can talk about that." While such conversations have never been release to the public, the studio is evidently been far more keen on a PC release for Vanquish than developers like Rockstar Games have been with the likes of Red Dead Redemption.
The game was published a year after the release of Bayonetta, another title which eventually joined the ever-growing Xbox One Backward Compatibility lineup. Unfortunately, Vanquish received no such treatment, so a PC port may be the only way for gamers to experience the title on new hardware. In truly eyebrow-raising timing, Bayonetta was just ported to the PC this April, and a recent update for the port sneakily included an image from Vanquish into the game's files - prompting many to speculate that a PC port was sure to follow.
In any event, the minimalist tweet has renewed hope for fans who have been waiting 7 years for such an announcement, and we expect more news to follow ahead of E3 2017. PlatinumGames itself has been quite busy of late, producing the highly acclaimed NeiR: Automata and putting in plenty of legwork on the ill-fated Scalebound.
Would you like to see PlatinumGames spending the time to port Vanquish to the PC, Ranters?
Vanquish is currently available now on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a possible PC port rumored to be announced in 2017.

As it's currently undergoing shooting, we probably won't get a teaser for Louis Leterrier's magician heist film Now You See Me until this summer. But now our first piece of official set footage and come in thanks to an Entertainment Tonight piece. Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Common, Michael Caine and Dave Franco make up the cast for the film which follows a group of high-class robbers that do what they do best all around the world, all while using illusions to pull it off.
In the few minutes below, Eisenberg gets the most play as we learn more about his character and a few of the stage stunts that are doing down. Fisher then chimes, along with Caine who talks about his Madoff-esque character who also has some comedic tendencies. Then Franco, who is coming off his hit comedy 21 Jump Street, talks about some of the card-throwing techniques he's learned. It is a fluff piece, as all from the network are, but it's nice to hear the twisty nature of this story and how each scene has some sort of surprise. We'll see if that all comes together, but for now check out the video below.
Scored by The Chemical Brothers, Now You See Me arrives on January 18th, 2013.

Here is a single chart that proves how completely the Feds end-game for its recovery failed, which means the fake recovery, itself, is failing. Its not hard to figure out what happened here.
Talk about a euphoric rise at the end of the Trump Rally heading into 2018, followed immediately by a massive blow-off top. When you compare the size of the blow-off to the total size of the S&P 500, it looks almost like Mount Saint Helens blew its top off.
2018 became a year filled with market explosions that happened in spite of a massive increase in stock buybacks the greatest number of buybacks in the history of the world (not even slightly an exaggeration). Those buybacks were funded by some of the largest tax breaks in history and by hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign profits that suddenly became spendable in the US. That means the Feds end game failed even when it had the most spectacular tail winds you could ever hope for helping it out! The Fed could not have had a more favorable situation in which to attempt its experiment.
2018 gave us the worst stock market crackup by far since the bottom of the Great Recession. (So much so that it stands out like a fire on a hilltop in the graph above of that entire period. You dont have to look for it to find it.) We can now clearly see the markets breakup coincided perfectly with the Feds balance-sheet unwind. In only three months the market lost almost a quarter of everything it had gained over the entire past decade of massive quantitative easing!
Now you can see the first big plunge in January when I said it would happen due to the start of Fed tightening while its most damaging three-month plunge began in October, also when I said it would due to the Feds tightening hitting full speed. The timing was predictable because the Fed had already laid out the schedule for its tightening program.
What makes the crackup more dramatic is knowing that the Feds scheduled tightening during those last three months was set at only 5/8 the quantity or speed at which the Fed had been easing!
