AGC to offer digital print seminar for traditional printers
Wednesday, December 01, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyNovember 29, 2004 -- The Association of Graphic Communications will be presenting Changing Profit Centers Seminar - how to complement traditional offset with digital and variable data printing on December 2nd at their headquarters in New York City. There will be two sessions. The morning session will include the best practices and trends in digital print and concentrate on marketing digital printing and variable data printing. The afternoon session will include "designing for digital"; how to sell digital and variable data printing; and inter-active brainstorming exercises in which attendees actually develop new-to-the-world VDP projects. Many a printer recognizes that the digital wave is upon them, but don't quite know how to take advantage of the new print technologies. Especially if they are struggling under the burden of capital equipment debt. Changing Profit Centers is designed to give them insight as to how to successfully cope with this dilemma. The seminars' primary message is how to intelligently and strategically introduce digital printing and an array of potential new services into a traditional offset environment. The concept of "marketing services providers" will be discussed including the results of the TrendWatch Graphic Arts report on the key attributes required to be a successful digital services provider. Also discussed will be how to sell digital printing and variable data printing, and the knowledge required by sales reps. Jim Olsen, President, Imagination, Ink. a marketing firm specializing in variable data printing and electronic communications for one-to-one marketing, is the seminar facilitator. After decades of running printing, publishing and trade association organizations, Olsen is keenly aware of the price pressures on printing services. He sees adding value added services as the opportunity to break away from commodity pricing and begin pricing on value to the customer and not on the traditional per-piece basis. One of the primary topics is using partnering as a way of entering the digital print arena in a prudent and successful manner. Olsen, editor of this year's edition of the PrintOnDemand Initiative Best Practices is an evangelist of variable data printing and one-to-one communications to the corporate marketing community. In addition, he will share his practical experience of actually selling and producing VDP projects. Attendees will learn: •Best practices and trends in digital print. •The advantage of becoming part of a customer's marketing team. •How to "morph" from traditional offset to digital printing. •The attributes of a successful digital printer. •How to "design for digital". •The knowledge requirements of a sales rep. •The steps for implementing a successful customer VDP campaign. Attendees in the afternoon session will participate in a live brainstorming exercise in which they will develop new and unique uses of variable data printing themselves. A live case study! Imagination, Ink. is sending to all the members of the Association of the Graphic Arts a four-page variable data promotion brochure designed as a newsletter with a unique use of variable data. The headline of the first article states, "

The foods recalled are Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat Formula dry cat food, Premium Edge Senior Cat Hairball Management Formula dry cat food, Premium Edge Kitten Formula dry cat food, Diamond Naturals Kitten Formula dry cat food and 4health All Life Stages Cat Formula dry cat food.
Click here to see local stores selling this product >>
Tests conducted by the company indicated the products might have a low level of thiamine (Vitamin B1).
There have been no complaints regarding thiamine levels, or any other health issues, related to these products. In association with this voluntary recall, Diamond Pet Foods has tested all other Diamond brands for thiamine deficiency to ensure the safety of the cat food it manufactures.
No other product manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods is involved in this voluntary recall.
Only product with the following Best By dates and Production Codes are included in the voluntary recall.
Further distribution of these affected production codes has occurred through online sales. It is best to check the production code to determine if the product has been recalled or not.
Cats fed product with the previously listed Production Codes and Best By dates exclusively for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency.
Thiamine is essential for cats in maintaining normal nervous system function. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be gastrointestinal or neurological in nature. Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss.
In advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which may include ventriflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, falling, circling and seizures. Pet owners should contact their veterinarians immediately if a cat is displaying any of these signs. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency typically is reversible.

The water gets muddier
Denver's teachers' union is supporting three board members who face a censure vote Thursday for allegedly violating the state's open meetings law.
The Denver Classroom Teachers Association hired an attorney to write a legal opinion that said the board members did not violate the state's Sunshine Law when they met on Nov. 1 to discuss the legalities of the district's school turnaround plan that is set to be decided on Thursday.
Board members Arturo Jimenez, Jeannie Kaplan and Andrea Merida did not provide notice beforehand that they were meeting with the Colorado Lawyers Committee. Denver school board President Nate Easley Jr. believes this was a violation of the law and is moving toward censuring the board members — which is basically a public rebuke for their actions.
Mark Grueskin, an attorney with Isaacson Rosenbaum, on Monday wrote a three-page legal opinion that can be found here.
The school board members may attend and speak at a session like the one held by the Colorado Lawyers Committee without providing an open meetings notice.
Tonight, the Denver school board will discuss the possible censure vote at its study session. Expect fur to fly.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has unceremoniously replaced Manouchehr Mottaki, the longtime foreign minister of the Islamic Republic, with the head of the country's Atomic Energy Agency, Ali Akbar Salehi, according to a terse statement posted to the presidency's site early Monday afternoon.
Salehi was named the caretaker of the ministry as any change to the cabinet must be confirmed by the legislature before it becomes official. Article 135 of the constitution allows the president to name a caretaker minister for a maximum of three months.
This development may signal a new round of acrimony between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Majlis. Mottaki reportedly enjoyed broad support in the parliament and had been endorsed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a televised meeting with the government on August 30. 'If Mottaki is replaced, the president should expect a strong reaction from the Majlis,' Mohammad Karamirad, member of the national security and foreign affairs committee of the legislature, had said around the same time.
The president's office published a two-sentence decree appointing Salehi and a separate short letter thanking Mottaki for his service. No further information or explanation was provided in the statement.
The dismissal appears particularly brusque since Mottaki is currently in Senegal, bearing a message from Ahmadinejad to President Abdoulaye Wade.
Alaeddine Boroujerdi, the chairman of the national security and foreign affairs committee, told Khabar Online's reporter that he was unaware of the news. 'Isn't Mr. Mottaki on a trip?' he asked the reporter. 'You mean the dismissal decree was issued while he was on a mission?'
Boroujerdi directed the reporter to contact Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast for more information.

I've been working on design techniques and making more pre-made book covers. Now, keep in mind, I'm more than happy to make changes to my pre-made designs if such differences will better suit an indie author's needs. I mostly make them for practice and to give an idea of what I'm capable.
But what we're really here to talk about today is an idea that I had while staring at this fantastic cover I designed last night, one that cannot be sold to anyone as is but is still too cool to let it collect virtual dust in a file on my hard drive.
All the pictures are CC0 public domain photos, but with the faces and not knowing if there are model releases, I cannot use them for retail sale of the design. I am sure I could ask the photographers, but at this point it didn't seem worth it to bother them.
BUT while staring at this book cover design, I kept thinking it reminds me of a movie cover, and ideas for stories started popping into my head. That got me thinking that it would be fun to use this cover as story inspiration for an adventure and/or contemporary fantasy short story contest!
What I'd like feedback on is fairly simple:
- Would you write a short story (2,000-7,000 words) for this contest?
- What sort of prize would be worth winning? (within reason as I am on a tight budget, but depending on ideas we could get multiple people to contribute to a grand prize?)
- Would you be interested in having a story possibly included in a book of adventure and fantasy fiction short stories compiled and then sold with the intention of all proceeds going to a charity such as Compassion International, Salvation Army, or Gospel for Asia?
Feedback on this can go in the comments below, or contact me through Twitter @RachaelRitchey or on Facebook @WritingRaci if you don't have a WP account. You can also email me: firstname.lastname@example.com
Make sure to share this post so that as many writing people as we know can contribute to the coming together of this contest and stories! There are still lots of details to work out, but now that this is written, I have no doubt we're going to make this short story contest a reality!

In this Thursday March 28, 2013 image taken from video obtained from the Ugarit News, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, shows a building at the Syrian government checkpoint on fire, in Dael less than 15 kilometers (10 miles) from the Jordanian border in Daraa province, Syria. Thursday, March 28, 2013. Syrian rebels on Friday captured a strategic town near the border with Jordan after a day of fierce clashes that killed dozens of people, activists said, as opposition fighters expand their presence in the south, considered a gateway to Damascus. (AP Photo/Ugarit News via AP video)
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels pushed into a strategic neighborhood in the northern city of Aleppo after days of heavy clashes, seizing control of at least part of the hilltop district and killing a pro-government cleric captured in the fighting, activists and state media said Saturday.
There were conflicting reports about the scale of the advance into the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood by rebel forces battling to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad. But the gains marked the biggest shift in the front lines in the embattled city in months.
Aleppo, Syria's largest city and a former commercial hub, has been a key battleground in the country's civil war since rebels launched an offensive there in July, seizing several districts before the fighting largely settled into a bloody stalemate.
The Aleppo Media Center opposition group and Aleppo-based activist Mohammed Saeed said rebels seized full control of Sheikh Maqsoud late Friday.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, however, said rebels took only the eastern part of the neighborhood, and reported heavy fighting there Saturday.
Syria's state news agency SANA said government troops "eliminated scores of terrorists" in other parts of Aleppo mainly in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Said, Masaken Hanano and Bustan al-Bacha. SANA did not mention the fighting in Sheikh Maqsoud.
Sheikh Maqsoud, which is predominantly inhabited by minority Kurds, is located on a hill on the northern edge of the city. The neighborhood used to be known as "Our Lady's Mountain" and is considered one of the most strategic locations in the city because it overlooks much of Aleppo.
Activists predicted that regime forces would launch counterattacks to try to retake the area because if rebels keep holding Sheikh Maqsoud it will be easy for them to target regime-held areas with mortar shells.
The media center and the Observatory both reported that residents were fleeing the neighborhood to safer areas. The media center said regime tanks around the neighborhood were shelling the area.
An amateur video showed about two dozen gunmen standing in front of a building owned by the Syrian government. In the video, one of the gunmen claims that rebels and their "Kurdish brothers liberated Sheikh Maqsoud of Assad's criminal gangs and shabiha" or pro-government militiamen.
The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other reporting that The Associated Press did on events depicted in the footage.
Saeed, the Aleppo-based activist, said several rebel groups, including Kurdish gunmen, took control of the neighborhood after launching an attack, titled "Kurdish Fraternity," on Thursday. He said that on Saturday fighting intensified on the eastern edge of the area around an army post known as Awamid.
The Observatory said rebels captured a pro-government Sunni Muslim cleric in the fighting, killed him and then paraded his body through the neighborhood.
State-run Al-Ikhbariya TV identified the cleric as Hassan Seifeddine. It said he was beheaded and his head was placed on the minaret of Al-Hassan Mosque where he used to lead the prayers.
The SANA state news said Seifeddine's body was "mutilated" after the "assassination."
The reports of the mutilation of the cleric's body could not be independently confirmed.
The killing of Seifeddine comes nearly 10 days after a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a mosque in the heart of the Syrian capital, Damascus, killing top Sunni preacher Sheik Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Buti as he was giving a sermon. The March 21 blast killed 48 others and wounded dozens.
Al-Buti, like Seifeddine, was a strong supporter of the Assad regime, which is dominated by members of the president's minority Alawite sect, an off-shoot of Shiite Islam. The opposition is made up of mostly Sunnis, who are the majority among Syrians.
Extremists have been playing a larger role among the rebel groups. They include the Islamic Jabhat al-Nusra, a powerful offshoot of al-Qaida in Iraq, which has claimed responsibility for most of the deadliest suicide bombings against regime and military facilities and, as a result, has gained popularity among some rebels.
A photograph recently posted online by activists showed Seifeddine, who was in his late 50s and had a white beard. A banner posted over the picture said: "A wanted agent." Another referred to him as wanted by the rebels and read: "An agent of Syria's ruling gang and wanted by the Free Syrian Army."
Aleppo-based Sunni cleric Abdul-Qadir Shehabi told state-run TV that Seifeddine's son was kidnapped months ago. Shehabi also lashed out at the rebels, saying they "mutilated" Seifeddine's body.
"Is this the freedom that they talk about? This is the freedom of Satan," Shehabi said, referring to rebels who say they are fighting Assad's regime because it is authoritarian.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said Seifeddine's name had been put on an opposition "death list."
"He was the imam of a mosque. He was not armed when he was killed," Abdul-Rahman said. "We cannot close our eyes when the opposition violates human rights."
Abdul-Rahman said that although Sheikh Maqsoud is predominantly Kurdish, the eastern areas where much of the fighting occurred are inhabited by pro-regime Sunni Muslims known as the "Mardilis." Many of them came to Aleppo decades ago from Turkey's southeastern province of Mardin. He said Seifeddine was one of them.
Elsewhere in Syria, activists reported violence in areas of the southern province of Daraa, the suburbs of Damascus and the northern regions of Idlib and Raqqa. The Observatory said the heaviest clashes were in Raqqa and Sheikh Maqsoud.
Abdul-Rahman said the fighting in Sheikh Maqsoud killed 14 pro-government gunmen, seven rebels, 10 civilians and Seifeddine.
The Observatory said rebels were fighting a fierce battle around an army post known as the Camp in the oil-rich eastern province of Deir el-Zour, which borders Iraq.
In Damascus, residents said power was cut on Saturday in some neighborhoods. Al-Ikhbariya TV quoted Minister of Electricity Imad Khamis as saying the network suffered a technical problem that would be fixed in 24 hours. Damascus has witnessed repeated cuts in recent months.
Also on Saturday, SWR, a regional broadcaster for Germany's ARD public television network, said that one of its reporters was shot on Friday in Aleppo. SWR said the reporter, Joerg Armbruster, 65, had emergency surgery in a Syrian hospital and then was taken to the Turkish border in an ambulance on Saturday. He was to be flown to Germany for further treatment when his condition improves.

Oakland, California (EastBayDaily) — As temperatures drop, pet owners need to increase their cold-weather smarts! The East Bay SPCA would like to remind pet guardians to practice its cold weather pet tips to help keep animals warm and dry!
East Bay SPCA Veterinarian Dr. Gwen Gadd says, "Our furry family members are not that different from us. If you feel your joints act up during cold or rainy weather, your pet is probably feeling the same way. During the rainy season, take the same precautions for Fluffy or Fido as you would for a beloved human family member. They deserve it."
1. Make sure your pet is dry. Whether coming in from the rain after a potty break, or just after a bath, be sure to thoroughly dry your animal. Wet paws can lead to matting of the hair around the feet, and wet pets can get the chills!
2. Beware, outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars. When the engine is started, cats can be injured or killed by the fan belt or other machinery. If there are outdoor or feral cats in your area, bang loudly on the car hood before starting the engine to give stowaway cats the chance to escape.
3. If your dog is sensitive to the cold due to age, hair length or a medical condition such as arthritis, consider getting him/her a sweater or jacket. You will want to choose clothing that is designed well and not too tight. If your dog becomes stressed wearing the attire, don't force it! You can also take him/her on shorter walks to relieve discomfort of being in the cold or rain.
4. Some dogs dislike the rain and will avoid house training. Just like people, different dogs have different reactions to rainy weather. Some dogs revel in the water while it is difficult to get others outside. For the latter, consider a rain jacket or taking your pup on short walks with an umbrella. Also remember to give a lot of praise to remind your dog that going to the bathroom outside is a good thing!
5. Offer your dog plenty of enrichment! If you and your dog are not able to take long walks or get as much exercise due to the cold or rain, make sure you set aside extra time for play and enrichment. Enrichment is providing challenging and fun toys, games, and activities. It might be a good time to practice some training skills! Felines can also partake in enrichment through activities including hide-and-seek with treats, mentally stimulating toys, and more! Stronger bonds between you and your companion will improve their physical and emotional health as well as your own!

Wait, I think I lived this moment in Boulder!
Anyone who has ever requested paper or plastic instead of using an environmentally correct cloth bag for groceries can relate: on IFC's "Portlandia" this week (Friday at 8 p.m.), Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock") plays a laid-back guy who accidentally forgot to bring his bag to the store. The chilly reception he gets from Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein is as funny as Armisen's sideburns.
Which city is more concerned with proper green etiquette, Boulder or Portland?

Who's On First?
I was entranced the first time I saw the comedic team of Abbott and Costello perform this routine on our family television console one Sunday afternoon. I was mesmerized by the ingenious wordplay by the duo to the point of repeating it so often the following week in school I got a isolated seat in the library by myself to perfect my comedic nuance.
That same hilarious routine comes to mind so vividly for me now with the Tampa Bay Rays current conundrum at their first bag position. Scanning the players listed on the Rays current 40-man roster, it is quickly evident that none of them has seen ample time at First Base to breathe any confidence that the team has answer so far in their quest for a secure and reliable player on the first base corner.
Last season's inspiration Casey Kotchman is a free agent, possibly speaking in confidence with the Rays, but also entertaining other offers, situation and pondering his own 2012 M L B existence. You would have thought it a no-brainier to try and sign "The Magic of Kotch" to a multi-year contract, but so far the homegrown baseball prospect has been mute and silent on any transactions.
Dan Johnson, the Rays 2011 Opening Day First Baseman refused his re-assignment to the minor league and has set his sights on other M L B venues as a possible home for 2012. There is still a hint of a Rays reunion, but that would come at a significant salary reduction again for Johnson who seemed lost early on in the 2012 season before coming back and putting some late September magic onto his resume.
Leslie Anderson, the Cuban baseball reject at First Base played with a bit more consistency for the Triple-A Durham Bulls in 2012, but is his advancement been enough to warrant more than a Spring Training invite and a outside chance of securing a roster spot. This is a position on this team that is in dire transition, a black hole that has to be filled first, then the other cogs will fall into place.
For the Rays defensive existence relies on a solid guy with a ever expanding spider web glove at this spot. He makes Evan Longoria look better, converts the ill-thought out throws of Reid Brignac, and is the key end point of any double play consideration. This position has to be the Rays priority one this off season, or 2012 will be a step backwards akin to the 2009 season.
Where is that definite piece of the puzzle the Rays have found in the past with great 1B names like Fred McGriff, Travis Lee, Tino Martinez and even Carlos Pena. This team can not feasibly afford the bevy of current First Basemen seeking salaries for 2012. The Albert Pujols and Price Fielders' of the MLB will not accept a price slashing Rays payment slip as their productive years reach their summit.
Even a established young player like current Cincinnati Red First Baseman Joey Votto might come with a price the Rays would balk at paying for a productive bat with ample defensive skills. Some say a run at Votto will cost them at least a duo of pitching prospects and possible a catcher. But in this regard the Rays do have a quickly approaching pitching surplus problem, but is possibly taking on Votto's 9.5 million dollar contract could possibly eat into a huge chunk of the Rays other "wish list" this off season.
Then there is the attractive but expensive option of the Rays flirting with the possibility of bringing on ex-Yankee C/1B Jose Posada as a short term solution with an eye on his trade deadline value and bat being a easy positive for the Rays. Posada is actually the only Yankee since Bernie Williams I could respect and see as a member of the Rays.
Posada is a true competitor, and walked a thin line in the Bronx in 2012 knowing his diminished skill behind the plate, plus a multi millionaire in front of him (Mark Texiera) prohibited him from getting more than a sampling of his skills at First Base last season. The only huge bind in this logic is the fact Posada made $ 13.1 million, or 1/3rd of the Rays 2011 total payroll. This fact by itself might eliminate
Posada's name immediately considering the Rays will possibly be slicing even a bit more off their payroll to begin 2012 with an eye on a late July addition if they are within sight of a Wild Card or better post season berth.
The Rays in-house options currently within their farm system besides Anderson is limited to Double-A Montgomery Biscuit duo Henry Wrigley and Matt Sweeney. The problem here is both have not ventured past that Double-A plateau yet, and their addition besides a possible Spring invite would be suggestive at best. The Rays have a deep farm system but not currently at this vital cog in their defensive machine. The answer might be an internal transition for the Rays to save money plus utilize their current players sequencing them into roles that build upon Rays Manager Joe Maddon's 2011 mantra of "Find Another Way".
Should the Rays implore current diamond journeyman Ben Zobrist or even Sean Rodriguez or Elliot Johnson to do a bit of off season prep at First Base. Possibly getting reps and game action in a Winter League, or maybe sending them to an isolated camp site to work on it in private and then introduce their transition as a "team united" surprise come Spring?
The following few weeks should be interesting as the Hot Stove season begins to simmer and choices begin to be eliminated from the First Base list. This is a key off season position for the Rays to secure an ample and reliable player who can be a catalyst for this young team. Be it a young player or possibly a grizzly vet, this first base bag has to have solidarity and consistency both in their defense and their bat to be a great addition to this team.
Pujols is not an option, Prince would not get the royal treatment in Tampa Bay. Votto might be established enough to warrant the player fodder needed for a trade, but will the Rays commit a huge chunk to solidify one position? Anderson, Wrigley and Sweeney might not be viable options, but could be future consideration, possibly in 2013 or 2014.
If the Rays want to save their funds for other player options, then a Zobrist, Johnson transformation might be in line with the Rays fiscal reality. Zobrist will make $ 4.5 million plus a possible $500,000 assignment bonus. His rising salaries will institute him into new roles, or define him in 2012. Johnson will be a meager salary option, but with his limited time at this side of the diamond, is it worth the gamble and possible implosion?
I still remember watching Bud Abbott clutching his baseball cap in his mouth in utter confusion and dismay at the swirling names of the players on the field during that routine, but it all comes down to that ultimate question still pondered by the Rays this off season, "Who's on First?"

Congratulations to ravenouscouple, whose KFC: Korean Fried Chicken Wings won this week's contest for Your Best Chicken Wings -- earning them a $200 gift card from Williams-Sonoma, plus big prizes from Viking and OXO, and a spot in the next food52 cookbook!
Q&A with ravenouscouple
Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.Hong: Growing up as the only boy in family with 3 sisters, I was often helping my mom in the kitchen, doing grunt work like pounding blue crab shells to make bun rieu (crab soup), cranking the pasta for fresh egg noodles, and pressing soy bean to make soy milk and fresh tofu. So I did mom's dirty work, but experiences taught me good food takes attention and effort -- but your efforts of making good food can engage family and people to bring them closer, not just create good food. Kim: I really enjoy throwing dinner parties and love that food brings people together. The first time I realized this was when I prepared a Thanksgiving turkey and all the fixings for my family when I was 16. Prior to this our family would always go out to eat for Thanksgiving dinner at home. What's your least favorite food?Hong: Don't think I have a least favorite, but more like least exciting would be chicken breast. Kim: Too cheesy macaroni and cheese.What is the best thing you've made so far this year?Hong: Deep fried bananas (chuoi chien) would have to be my favorite because of the experience making it. I was out in the Vietnamese fruit market selecting the ripest banana when an earthquake hit. Everyone around me ran outside, yet I was almost oblivious to that, concentrating on choosing the best ones. In the meanwhile Kim was at home waiting for me, worrying that something might have happened. Kim: Vietnamese cuisine has a classic whole roasted catfish (ca nuong) where we take the fish and marinate it in glaze of honey, lemongrass, shallots, garlic, and roast the entire fish until the skin is crispy. The fish is then topped with scallion oil and peanuts and served family-style, where the meat would then be wrapped in rice paper along with various Vietnamese herbs.Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.Hong: First attempt at making Vietnamese blood sausauge. The kitchen looked like the set of Friday the 13th and Freddy Krueger was my sous chef.Kim: I was distracted by a phone call one time and placed a hot pan of fried rice on a glass table and while talking on the phone, the glass shattered. Clean up was a pain with intermixed fried rice and shards of glass. Ouch. What is your idea of comfort food?Kim: A traditional Vietnamese dinner is comfort food. A traditional dinner would always have rice, a protein such as thit kho (caramelized pork), pickled vegetables, and a soup.Hong: Vietnamese beef stew (bo kho) is my comfort food. It has such wonderful fragrance of star anise, cinnamon, cloves mixed with tendonous shank -- I can eat that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Apron or no apron?No apron for either of us!What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?Hong: The dueling crispy beef noodle vs. sweet sour pork dishes from two Kung Fu cooking masters in The Chinese Feast.Kim: The scene in Lady and the Tramp where they eat opposite ends of a single strand until meeting together in the middle. If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?Kim: My grandma because I never got to cook for her even though most of our family recipes are from her. Hong: I'll help Kim. You prefer to cook: a. alone, b. with others, c. it depends on your moodDepends on mood. A kitchen can really be your sanctuary so it sometimes takes a lot patience to share it. When it comes to tidying up, you usually: a. clean as you cook, b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking, c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to clean.Kim: Definitely clean as I cook.Hong: Definitely a shamble. Kim calls me the tornado in the kitchen.

Storage Ideas for Small Kitchens
It's true; small kitchens can be just as organized and efficient as their larger counterparts. Check out these smart ideas for storing dishes, cookware, and other kitchen staples.
Kitchen designer: RitaLuisa Garcès
Take cabinets to the ceiling.
When it comes to thinking vertically, kitchens stand to reap the most benefit. Take cabinetry all the way up to the ceiling, but be smart about what you stow where. Store what you use most often within arm's reach. Reserve the highest cabinets for seldom-used items such as turkey roasters and holiday dishes.
Interior design: Joe Lucas and Parrish Chilcoat
Put storage overhead.
Free up base cabinets for other kitchen paraphernalia by hanging pots and pans from a rack mounted to the ceiling. Bonus: You get an instant focal point!
Add a multi-functional island.
Islands offer handy work surfaces for kitchen helpers. But why stop there? Choose a slim island with at least one additional shelf to hold cookware and dishes. Use baskets or bins to corral smaller items such as utensils or seasonings.
Invest in custom cabinetry.
Custom cabinetry is designed and built to fit your kitchen and all its quirks. Not being limited to standard cabinet heights, widths, and shapes means you can use every possible square inch of space for storage. Turn pockets of dead space into wine shelves (shown). Use the toe-kick area beneath base cabinets to add drawers for dishtowels, placemats, or baking sheets. Install cabinets that follow the angle of the ceiling. All the bits and pieces add up to big storage benefits.
Store more with organizational inserts.
Help your cabinetry work harder by including cabinet organizers and drawer inserts. Pullout racks (shown), pantry pullouts, tray dividers, Lazy Susan turntables, pull-down spice racks, cutlery organizers, knife blocks with dividers, tilt-out trays, pantry pullouts, wine cubbies, and more turn your cabinets and drawers into storage superstars.
Tip: Some organizational inserts need to be added by your cabinet-maker, but there are many options that can be purchased later.
Upgrade corner cabinets.
Making awkward corners work more efficiently and you'll be able to store more than you expected. Swing-out organizers bring the contents to you, which means you can make full use of a corner cabinet without bending and twisting. Look for models that include rails on the shelves to keep items from tumbling over the edge.
Divide and conquer your drawers.
Whether part of a custom design or purchased after market, drawer dividers will help you and your kitchen get and stay organized. You may not be able to store a lot more in a given drawer, but what's stored in there is going to be easier to see and retrieve.
Squeeze in wall-mounted shelves.
Open shelves keep priority items visible and accessible. But here's what makes them especially useful for small rooms: They can be installed in spaces that are too small or awkwardly placed to hold cabinets.
Carve out space on the backsplash.
Keep your countertops and drawers less cluttered by tricking out your backsplash with storage accessories. One option? Install a magnetic strip to hold knives (shown). Here's another way to go. Add a horizontal rail system with specific components chosen to meet your needs: hooks for utensils, racks for spices, paper towel holders, and more.
Hide and go sleek.
Keep your kitchen a bit more clean and uncluttered by hiding storage behind the backsplash. In this range area, a sliding panel reveals rows of spices within easy reach of the chef. When the panel is closed, the area returns to being a sleek marble-tile backsplash.
Kitchen designer: Mick De Giulio
Put storage in hard-to-reach places.
Just because you have a small kitchen doesn't mean you have to give up on decorative details—especially if you have tall ceilings. Top a window or doorway with a wide, sturdy ledge, then use it to display pretty bottles of olive oil or vinegar, pottery, or other collectibles.
Borrow inches from adjoining space.
No room for a butler's pantry? Borrow some space from an adjoining mudroom or closet to accommodate an undercounter wine chiller in an alcove. Top the unit with a tray of liquor and you've got a pocket-size bar area to use when entertaining.
Interior designers: Christine Teicheira and Lauren Tapper
Turn a dead end into storage.
If your galley kitchen culminates in a window, you have the opportunity to create a storage-smart window seat with built-in cabinets or drawers. The beauty of this arrangement is that such storage is still only steps away from the work zone.
Interior designer: Lindsay Brier
Build in a storage-packed banquette.
If you're planning a banquette/dining nook in or near the kitchen, incorporate storage into bench-style seats. Adding a hinged top offers the maximum amount of storage space in the platform below the cushion. On the other hand, storage drawers that open into the room (shown) offer the most user-friendly option: no need to remove cushions to access contents, no pinched fingers. Either way, use the storage space for stowing items such as table linens and seasonal décor.
Add storage beneath the stairs.
It depends upon your floor plan, of course. But if your kitchen is next to a staircase, turn that dead space below the stairs into handy storage for kitchen staples. Make deep shelves more accessible by using sturdy baskets or bins to hold contents. For a more formal appearance, install cabinets with roll-out shelves that reduce the need for bending and twisting.
Downsize other elements.
If you're in the building or remodeling phase, you may still have time to choose smaller appliances that leave more room for cabinetry. In this kitchen, for example, choosing a slim refrigerator made it possible to add a tall cabinet for dishes and other priority items.
Other swaps to consider? Choose a 30-inch-wide range instead of a larger model. Install a drawer dishwasher, or an 18-inch wide dishwasher, instead of a full-size model. Look for appliances that perform multiple functions within a single space (such as a steam-convection oven)—leaving more room for cabinetry.
Convert adjoining space into a pantry.
Does your kitchen border a spare bedroom or closet that can afford to lose some square footage? Convert that space into a compact pantry to hold non-perishable food, root vegetables, small appliances, or anything else you feel doesn't need to be stored in the main kitchen. Adjustable shelves make it easy to reconfigure the pantry as your needs change. Clear glass containers make it easy to see what you have on hand. Baskets or bins keep small food packages safely organized.

Tim David needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 16 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
I run a content site and my primary income is derived fromÂ…
- Adsense
- Selling downloadable products (both my own and affiliate products)
(ItÂ's close to a 50/50 split between adsense and product sales)
IÂ'm getting a lot of traffic, but IÂ'm not converting enough of the visitors to either of the above actions as much as IÂ'd like to. IÂ'm hopeful that this site redesign will help to fix that.
My goals are:
1. Increase AdSense clickthroughs
2. Increase product sales
no tagline
Desired Color Scheme:
Match my site's current logo.
Desired Style:
Clear, easy to navigate, but at the same time mysterious and cool - representative of MODERN magic (not the tux and top-hat type magician. More like Criss Angel, David Blaine, ellusionist.com, etc.)
Accepted File Formats:
.PSD, .jpg, .gif, .tif
SPECIFICATIONS FOR SITE REDESIGN (TheMagicTeacher.com):
General considerations:
- First, consider that the content is dynamically generated by a CMS (The CMS is ArticleLive by Interspire). So the design must be flexible enough to allow for the different content, while still maintaining a coherent and consistent look.
- My target market is teenage and pre-teen boys.
- Also, wherever there is body copy, I would like black text on a white background so it is easiest to read for my visitors. No exceptions. (Any text besides the body copy is fair game for whatever colors look best.)
- A VERY high priority is that I want the Categories to be MUCH more noticeable. (Free Card Tricks, Free Coin Tricks, Free Street Magic Tricks, etc.) Those are the links I want people clicking on but right now, theyre buried. This will help with BOTH AdSense and product sales. Dont change the textjust make the section more noticeable. (ie Move it to a better spot, change the colors, or whateveryoure the expert!)
Main Section:
- In the main section of the home page should have Featured Articles above the fold, but Recent Blogs a little lower.
The Header:
- Integrate the logo into the header (FYI - Im considering a logo re-design. The concept will remain the same, but I want the logo to be more professionally done.)
- Keep the search feature.
- The links must be text and flexible. (Links may change) Roll-overs are fine.

As a family-owned and operated busines, our vision was and is to offer earth-friendly useful items that you can't find easily anymore. The store is a little like an old general store. You'll find locally-produced and/or handmade items such as vintage aprons, fair trade market baskets, beeswax candles and reusable shopping bags, as well as natural laundry soda, handmade soaps and heirloom vegetable seeds. You can also find a variety of local honey and our very own homemade jams, jellies and marmalades. We want to make natural, organic and sustainable living products available for those who want to live a simpler life and lessen their impact on the environment. We stock an array of books about permaculture, sustainable/intentional communities, growing organic food, how-to-books on farm-steading, beekeeping, earth-oven building, baking artisan bread and cheese-making, plus many more. In 2008, we built an outdoor wood-fired brick oven and began baking organic artisan sourdough bread for sale on weekends in our shop. In 2010, we renovated our space to include a full coffee and espresso bar and a small but ever-expanding array of fresh sweet pastries, decadent brownies, an assortment of savory tarts and mini quiches baked in house daily. We are open daily from 9 am - 5 pm. We love what we are doing and therefore have happy employees! We like to chat and welcome you for a visit.
We now have organic, artisan, soft serve frozen custard - made from scratch in house!

Need some summer craft inspiration? Flag Day is Thursday, June 14. The day marks the occasion that the flag that we know and love became the official flag of the United States, way back in 1777 (thanks Wikipedia!) Honor the day, and the flag, with one of these cool Flag Day crafts for the kiddos.
Beaded American flag. This beautifully beaded flag doubles as a suncatcher you can hang in the window and show-off your patriotic spirit. Other than the beads and elastic, all you need is a simple drinking straw (or wooden dowel) to bring this flag to life.
Fan flag. This cool design is perfect for your next hot and sunny patriotic celebration. The flag design itself is freestyle, so you can get creative with paints, or keep it simple with crayon, depending upon what suits your child's mood.
Handprint flag. I love this sweet flag design from Muffin Tin Mom that doubles as a family keepsake. Your child will love the patriotic paint job they get to do on their fingers!
Mosaic flag. Um, yeah ... I know that this is not exactly an American flag, but the design idea is cool and can easily be adapted to make an American flag, right? (It's a French flag, in case you were wondering. Bastille Day is right around the corner after all!)
Child's flag. This craft idea from Iowa Farmer's Wife reminded me that sometimes the best crafts are the simplest. You don't need a lot of fancy supplies or templates to complete this project, just paper, glue and a child's eye for design.

A character in my ongoing Exalted 2e game has an artifact chain shirt. Artifact chain shirts are described as being able to be worn under ordinary clothing (it has no mobility penalty or fatigue value). He's also recently acquired a (non-artifact) reinforced breastplate. He'd like to wear them both. I don't see any rules describing whether this can be done, what net protective effect it would have, or what effect it would have on mobility and fatigue.
Maybe I have overlooked a piece of the rules as written -- but if I haven't -- anyone have any opinions on this? The character in question is pretty fragile so I'm not entirely opposed to his getting some kind of benefit, but I worry about setting a precedent that will bite me later.

A 55-inch flat screen television hangs above the maple wood bar where Sam Adams is on tap and a bottle of Maker's Mark whiskey cozies up to swatches of Italian wool.
In this second-story boutique on Newbury Street, Alton Lane's founders are trying to revolutionize the male shopping experience with private appointments, free drinks, leather couches, a body scanner, handwarmers — and of course, the custom clothes they are trying to sell.
Alton Lane, which opens next week, is one of a cadre of new retailers in Boston, including Bonobos and J.Crew's Ludlow Shop, that aim to capture a larger share of the growing menswear business by offering personalized service in intimate spaces that almost disguise the fact that men are shopping. Salespeople are called guides or style experts. The men are clients, not customers. The retail outlets look like living rooms. The clothes are tailored to fit and there is no women's merchandise in sight. Men don't even have to carry bags out of the stores.
"Most guys we know don't like the typical shopping experience. We treat them like they are coming into our home," said Colin P.G. Hunter, Alton Lane's chief executive, as he flipped through fabric samples at the "design bar."
Here, men can sip bourbon as they create custom suits starting at $525, selecting everything from lining to piping to buttons. The fabrics are made in Italy, then sent to factories in Asia, and the custom suits show up in about four weeks at the clients' doorsteps.
"For decades, men's was an afterthought for retailers. But that's starting to change as companies recognize this multibillion dollar business," said Hunter, who also runs stores with cofounder Peyton Jenkins in New York and Washington, D.C. "We are an experience company that happens to sell clothing."
If experts forecasted that menswear would lead the apparel market out of the recession, their prediction would have been labeled a sure miss, according to Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst at NPD Group, a market research firm in New York. But in fact, menswear is projected to increase to $55.5 billion by the end of the year, up more than 7 percent from 2010, while women's clothing only recently started posting some positive growth. Retailers are tapping into a broader interest in fashion among men and getting them to spend more money on custom clothing.
"In order to stay competitive in the job market as part of their quest for success, men have learned the importance of keeping up their appearances," Cohen said. "They pay extra attention to detail — modern silhouettes, slimmer cuts, narrower lapels — and shopping is no longer a chore but a game they want to master. And stores that focus on them and their likes are faring well."
Bonobos, which started as an online-only retailer, opened a temporary store on Newbury Street in May and decided to make it permanent in July. The company has two other shops, in New York and California, and its 500-square foot "showroom" in Boston features a curated selection of merchandise, including $88 washed chino pants that are curved to fit the natural contours of a man's body. A small fridge is stocked with beer to serve to customers during their appointments or for trunk shows the store hosts. After a personal fit session, men can place orders for the items they want, and they are sent to their homes with free one-day shipping.
"There are no bags to carry out. There's not a ton of people. It's hand-holding in a good way. Guys welcome it. For too long, shopping has been a negative experience," said Lauren Cuozzo, Bonobos' manager in Boston. "We make it fun and interactive."
That has helped attract devotees like Christian Hurst, a 24-year-old medical research assistant who lives in South Boston. Hurst showed up for his appointment earlier this summer and was greeted with a cold Corona after a hard day of work. (Retailers can serve alcohol if they get a permit or a finding by the local licensing board that the activities don't qualify as the selling of alcoholic beverages, according to Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.)
His "guide" helped him find the right size, and he ended up spending roughly $200 on two pairs of pants — about twice as much as the Levi's already in his closet.
Hurst said the tailored fit and personal attention made it worth the investment, and he has since come back for shirts, jeans, swim trunks, shorts, and a blazer and has referred several friends. He plans to return soon to update his fall wardrobe.
"I just get really overwhelmed in department stores with different brands all over the place and you can never find your size," Hurst said. "This was unlike any shopping experience I'd ever had. It was just the two of us. It was nice and relaxed and she offered me beverages."
Some mainstream merchants are also pushing the boundaries at their traditional retail outlets. Brooks Brothers created a floor in the Madison Avenue store in Manhattan that has a pool table and bar near their custom made suits. UGG, which hired Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as a pitchman, opened its first men's store in New York and has others planned around the country.
Last month, J.Crew debuted its second Ludlow Shop in the country at Copley Place, a store the company claims has the "charm and services of an old Haberdashery, but with an updated and modern look." The shop features 27 styles of the Ludlow suit, a tailored fit with bespoke-inspired details including a floating chest piece, hand-finished collar, and a Bemberg lining. There are suiting experts on site along with services such as tailoring, monogramming, and door-to-door courier service. Some wool suits cost around $700 and cashmere jackets can top $1,000.
"Our Men's Shops give us a chance to show our guy who we are and what we stand for. Our guy appreciates what we are doing and he is paying more attention to the garments and the details, down to the fabric, stitches, and buttons," said Frank Muytjens, head of men's design for J.Crew. "We love hearing that guys like what we are doing and that we've made their lives a little bit easier."

Blackbird Bakery Buttermilk Biscuits
"Not until I began my experiments with gluten-free baking did I realize the gift my mother and grandmother had passed on to me," says Karen Morgan. "They taught me that in making the very best biscuits, it was all about the touch. The less you touched the dough, the better the biscuits."
½ cup (125 mL) sorghum flour
1 cup (250 mL) cornstarch
½ cup (125 mL) tapioca flour, plus ¼ cup for dusting
1 teaspoon (5 mL) guar gum
½ teaspoon (2 mL) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 mL) baking powder
3 tablespoons (45 mL) cold unsalted butter, diced
3 tablespoons (45 mL) cold vegetable shortening, preferably non-hydrogenated, diced
1 cup (250 mL) organic buttermilk
2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 mL) water, if needed
Salted butter, agave syrup or fruit preserves for serving
Position an oven rack in the centre of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to blend. Add the butter and vegetable shortening. Using a pastry cutter, cut the fats into your dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small peas.
Stir in the buttermilk until the dough forms a ball. If the mixture is too dry, stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn your dough out onto a work surface dusted with tapioca flour and knead until very smooth, 3 to 4 turns. Form the dough into a disk 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. Using a 3-inch (8-cm) diameter biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange them on an unbuttered 9-inch (23-cm) cake pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool briefly.
Serve hot, with butter, agave syrup, or preserves. It will keep in cool, dry container with lid for up to 2 days.
Makes about 8 large biscuits.
Blackbird Bakery Sunday Morning Pancakes
This pancake recipe can be adapted to your craving, says Karen Morgan. Add ½ cup of blueberries, bananas, or chocolate chips or a few dashes of cinnamon. You can have the dry mix at the ready by mixing it up ahead of time and storing in a cool, dry place for up to three months. When adding fresh fruit or chocolate, just sprinkle some on top of the pancake before you flip it.
— From Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free by Karen Morgan.
¼ cup (60 mL) plus 2 tablespoons (30 mL) almond flour
½ cup (120 mL) millet flour
2 tablespoons (30 mL) glutinous rice flour
2 tablespoons (30 mL) sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) guar gum
½ teaspoon (2 mL) kosher salt
½ teaspoon (2 mL) baking soda
½ teaspoon (2 mL) baking powder
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup (250 mL) organic buttermilk
1 tablespoon (15 mL) unsalted butter, melted
Safflower oil cooking spray
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to blend. Add the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter, and stir until smooth.
Heat a large skillet or a griddle over medium-low heat. Spray the pan with safflower oil spray. Run your hands under the faucet to wet your fingertips and then shake them over the hot griddle. If the water dances across the pan, pour ¼ cup batter into the pan; for small pancakes, use 2 tablespoons batter. Cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake; turn and cook until golden brown on the bottom. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in 200 F (93 C) oven while cooking the remaining batter.
Makes 8 large or 16 small pancakes.
Blackbird Bakery Cupcakes
1 1/3 cups (330 mL) plus 1 tablespoon (15 mL) sorghum flour
2/3 cup (160 mL) plus 1 tablespoon (15 mL) cornstarch
2/3 cup (160 mL) plus 1 tablespoon (15 mL) tapioca flour
2 cups (500 mL) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (15 mL) guar gum
1 tablespoon (15 mL) baking powder
¾ teaspoon (4 mL) kosher salt
1 cup (250 mL) unsalted butter, room temperature, diced
5 large eggs, beaten
1 cup (250 mL) organic buttermilk
¼ cup (60 mL) fresh young coconut juice
1 tablespoon (15 mL) pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure almond extract
One 16-ounce (454 g) package sweetened shredded coconut
Cream cheese frosting (see recipe)
Position an oven rack in the centre of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F (170 C). Line 24 standard muffin cups or 48 miniature ones with paper liners.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine all the dry ingredients and mix on low to blend. Add the butter and beat on low speed until the lumps of butter are no longer visible.
Add the eggs and beat for 30 seconds. Add the buttermilk, coconut juice and vanilla and almond extracts, and gradually increase the speed to high, one gear at a time, to prevent splashing. Mix for 1 ½ minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the bowl as necessary. Fold in the coconut.
Using an ice-cream scoop or spoon, fill each prepared cup three-fourths full with batter. Bake 12 to 15 minutes for mini cakes and 20 minutes for standard ones, or until the cakes are golden and set. Remove from the oven; let cool for a few minutes and then place on wire racks. Let cool completely.
Using an offset spatula, ice the top of each cupcake with a generous dollop of frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
½ cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Two 8-ounce (225 g) packages cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups (500 mL) confectioner's sugar
1 ½ teaspoon (8 mL) pure vanilla extract
In stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until very smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the cream cheese. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth. Sift the confectioner's sugar over the cream cheese mixture and beat again until satiny. Beat in the vanilla just until combined. The icing can be covered and refrigerated for up to a week.
Makes 24 cupcakes
Socca (Nicoise chickpea crepes)
"These are gluten-free, high in protein and easy to make. They're delicious on their own or filled with ratatouille or any filling that you would put into a sweet or savoury crepe. " — Andrea Potter, of Rooted Nutrition
1 ½ cups (375 mL) chickpea flour
1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) ground cumin (optional)
1 ½ cups (375 mL) water
2 tablespoons (30 mL) olive oil
Salt to taste
Place flour (and optional cumin) in a bowl and slowly add water as you whisk. Add olive oil and salt to taste. Whisk ingredients together so there are no lumps.
Let rest for at least ½ hour. (Will keep for a few days in the fridge.)
In a non-stick or cast iron pan or crepe pan on medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil. Ladle 4 to 6 ounces (114 to 170 g) batter into the pan. Flip when bubbly on the surface and then brown on other side.
Serve hot simply with butter, or use as a wrap or crepe for all kinds of fillings.
Makes 3 to 4 servings.
Dosas with Masala Potatoes
"Dosas are South Indian sourdough crepes. This versatile batter is used for many different dishes. The batter keeps well — I have used it for a week after fermenting, so I often double the recipe for quick and easy meals and snacks through the week. Store it in the fridge once it's fermented. The batter can also be frozen." — Andrea Potter of Rooted Nutrition
Day 1
1/3 cup (80 mL) urad dal (or use split red lentils if urad dal isn't available.)
1 cup (250 mL) basmati rice (brown basmati is preferable)
Wash and soak dal overnight or for at least 8 hours, using more than enough water to cover.
Wash and soak rice overnight or for at least 8 hours, using more than enough water to cover.
Day 2
Drain the rice and lentils. Put the lentils and rice together in the blender. Add enough water to get it to blend until smooth. Pour this batter into a non-reactive container like a glass jar, earthenware pot or stainless steel vessel. Make sure there's a few inches of space at the top as it will rise.
Cover the fermenting container with a towel in a warm place, like on top of your fridge or on the counter if your house is warm. Between 8 and 24 hours it will be bubbly and smell slightly sour and might even smell bad. This is normal. If it is not bubbly, just give it a stir and leave it for a bit longer.
Once fermented add salt to taste (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon or 2 to 5 mL), thin it with water if necessary to consistency of heavy cream.
Making the Dosa:
Heat up a ceramic non-stick or cast iron pan and melt 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of coconut oil or ghee. (You can get authentic dosa pans in Little India. The crepes done in other pans may not come out as crispy, but are also pretty nice.)
Ladle about 3 ounces (85 g) of batter in the centre, spread with the back of the ladle in concentric circles from the centre outward to form a thin round crepe. Pour 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of ghee or coconut oil or oil over it. Remove with offset spatula when crisp. Cook on the flip side for a few seconds.
You could serve it, hot, with a chutney or with the Masala Potatoes (see recipe).
Makes 4 to 5 servings.
Masala Potatoes
2 tablespoons (30 mL) oil (coconut or sunflower)
3/4 tablespoon (10 mL) black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon (15 mL) urad dal (split lentils)
1 onion, chopped
1 1/4 tablespoons (20 mL) ginger
½ teaspoon (2 mL) cumin seeds
3/4 tablespoon (10 mL) coriander seeds
4 large, diced starchy potatoes
Salt to taste
1 cinnamon stick
½ teaspoon (2 mL) turmeric
1 ½ chilies
½ tablespoons (7 mL) ground cumin
½ cup tomato (125 mL) paste, or a couple cups diced tomatoes
Few curry leaves, if available
Water to come up to 2/3 of the potatoes
In a pot, add oil (coconut or sunflower), mustard seeds and urad dal. Cook over medium heat with a lid. Once mustard seeds have popped (and turned grey), add ginger and onion. Cook until translucent, stirring frequently.
Toss in cumin and coriander seeds and cook until fragrant. Now add the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients to the pot with the mustard seed mixture. Cook until the potatoes have absorbed the water. Season with sea salt, garnish with cilantro if you like.

British singer and TV personality Cheryl Cole says she is separating from her husband, football (soccer) player Ashley Cole.
The 26-year-old Girls Aloud pop singer is a judge for the British reality talent show "The X Factor" along with Simon Cowell. She asked the media to respect her privacy "during this difficult time" in a statement issued Tuesday by her publicist.
Ashley Cole plays left back for Chelsea and the England national team.
British media had speculated the marriage was in trouble after tabloids published front-page stories reportedly linking Ashley Cole to other women.
Cheryl Cole's song "Fight for This Love" was nominated for a 2010 Brit award.
