Picking the Right Pots and Pans
Choosing the right cookware just got easier!
In with the New
If the handle on your favorite pot keeps coming loose or the bottom of a beloved pan is warped, it's time to head to the store. The good news is that if you haven't been in the market lately, you'll find better-quality choices at every price range.
Stocking the Shelves
There is a pot for every purpose, from braising a beef roast (use a Dutch oven) to flipping flapjacks (try a flat griddle). However, since pots and pans eat up valuable storage space, consider what you like to cook before you make a purchase. A complete set is a good value only if you plan to use every item regularly, according to Norman Kornbleuth, owner of Broadway Panhandler in New York City. "If there's even one piece you don't like, think about what you need and buy only those individual pieces."
A Basic Cookware Wardrobe
- Two frying pans (one large, one small)
- Stock pot
- Flat-bottom saute pan
- Two saucepans (1 to 1 1/2 quarts and 3 to 4 quarts)
Other Options
- Multicooker with inserts for pasta and steaming
- Grill pan
- Dutch oven (a deep pot with two handles and lid)
- Flat griddle frying pans multicooker
Shaping Up
- A frying pan is flat and shallow so food cooks quickly in a small amount of fat — perfect for quick sautes.
- A stock pot is tall but not wide, so liquids evaporate slowly. Use it to create flavorful soups and stocks.
- A saucepan is usually as tall as it is wide, good for making sauces and intensifying flavors.
Material World
Each metal has advantages — here's the rundown.
Stainless Steel
Pros: Durable, easy to clean, attractive. Good for boiling foods like seafood and pasta.
Cons: Conducts heat poorly. Instead pick cladded stainless steel — a core of either aluminum, copper, or a combination of the two, sheathed in stainless. A copper or aluminum disk on the bottom is a cheaper alternative.
Care: Dishwasher safe.
Options: Sets (7 to 10 pieces): Farberware, from $70; Cuisinart, from $260; All-Clad, from $300.
Pros: Heats up and cools down rapidly; cooks evenly. Ideal for delicate sauces.
Cons: Expensive, heavy, and high maintenance.
Care: Hand wash; the exterior must be polished regularly to retain its coppery glow.
Options: Bourgeat saucepan, $130. Look for stainless steel interiors, which will last longer than tin.
Pros: Heats up and cools down fast; cooks evenly. Works well in nonstick pans.
Cons: Reacts with foods high in acids (tomatoes), sulfur (eggs, onions), and alkaline (cabbage), causing discoloration of food and cookware. Dents, scratches, and warps easily. Anodized aluminum — treated with an electrically charged solution — won't warp, dent or scratch, or react with foods.
Care: Hand wash.
Options: Calphalon set, from $200 (10 pieces); Lincoln Wearever 9-quart stock pot, $56.
Cast Iron
Pros: Heats evenly and holds it extremely well. Great for grilling, searing, frying, and making stews. Inexpensive.
Cons: Slow to heat and cool down; heavy. Can rust and pit.
Care: Hand wash. To prevent rust, "season" new cookware: Coat with canola or peanut oil and heat; "reseason" once a year.
Options: Lodge frying pan, griddle, Dutch oven, from $9 to $47.
Enameled Cast Iron
Pros: Heats evenly and holds heat; excellent for stews and slow-cooked meats; moves handily from oven or range to table. Attractive glass-like enamel coating fused to cast-iron surface comes in many colors.
Cons: Expensive; heavy; can chip.
Care: Hand wash.
Options: Le Creuset Dutch ovens, from $70, frying pans, from $50, baking dishes, from $120.
Safety and Quality
Is It Safe?
The issue surrounds perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) — a compound used in making Teflon, T-FAL, and other nonstick surfaces. While PFOA is being investigated as a possible carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the FDA has& analyzed nonstick cookware for residual PFOA and determined that the level is so low that the risk to consumers is negligible, according to Paul Honigfort of the FDA's Office of Food Additive Safety. Honigfort added that it is important to use the pans properly. Heat the cookware only to the temperature needed and add ingredients right away. Do not leave empty nonstick pans over heat for any length of time.
Quality Control
The difference between so-so and sensational is in the details. Visit a store and hold potential purchases before you buy.
- Cookware should be easy to lift up and feel comfortable in your hand. Look for heft. "Thicker pots and pans hold in heat and are less likely to warp, bend, or dent," says Sharon Silver, customer service project manager at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
- Heavy pieces should have two handles or a small "helper" opposite the main one for steady transfer from stovetop to counter.
- Plastic or wood handles are not recommended if you plan to put the pan in the oven; choose metal instead. Be careful when handling hot pans straight from stovetop or oven.

Forty Thieves Solitaire Instructions
In Forty Thieves Solitaire the goal of the game is to move all the cards to the 8 foundation piles at the upper right corner.

You may only move one card at a time, and you can only move a card to another pile if it is one lower and in the same suit. If you cannot make a move you can turn over a new card by clicking on the facedown deck in the top left.
It's game over if you have used all the stock cards and cannot put all the cards on the foundation.

Abernathy asked Peterson to share his thoughts on the so-called prosperity gospel:
Well, I think it's a lie. I think it's just a downright rotten lie. It's nowhere in Christian tradition, so how does this get going in our culture? It's greed is what it is. It's greed given a spiritual name: God will bless you. I want to ask these prosperity gospel people, do your people ever die? Do the people in your church ever die? What do you do when they die? Where's the prosperity in that? I don't have much patience with them, to tell you the truth, because I think they're defrauding people.Peterson was also asked to share his thoughts on the ethos of mega-churches:
The minute the church and pastors start saying what do people want and then giving it to them, we betray our calling. We're called to have people follow Jesus. We're called to have people learn how to forgive their enemies. We're called to show people that there is a way of life which has meaning beyond their salary or beyond how good they look.The interview runs 6:48. You will want to watch the whole thing.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) may have their feet on the ground, but they're also the go-to experts when it comes to interpreting data from space.
In 2002, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists established soil moisture monitoring networks in four long-term experimental watersheds to verify the accuracy of soil moisture data collected by satellites orbiting Earth. Since then, the ARS researchers have been continuously monitoring soil moisture levels in these watersheds every hour. As a result, they had a vast amount of data they could use to validate soil moisture data collected by a new Earth-orbiting satellite launched by the European Space Agency as part of its Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission.
ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this work supports the USDA priority of responding to global climate change.
The new SMOS satellite used an innovative sensor technology to estimate soil moisture levels to within 4 percent, which is like measuring a teaspoon of water mixed into a handful of dry soil. But the accuracy of the data needed to be verified with actual soil moisture measurements.
An ARS research team led by hydrologist Tom Jackson compared a year's worth of soil moisture data collected by SMOS with data from the four ARS watersheds, and with data from another satellite system. Jackson works at the ARS Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory in Beltsville, Md.
The scientists determined that the SMOS soil moisture estimates approached a 95 percent rate of accuracy. They also identified conditions that reduced the accuracy of their estimates, such as fluctuations in daily weather conditions, and devised a method for flagging and adjusting these data to improve the accuracy of the resulting soil moisture estimates.
Results from this project were published in 2012 in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing.
Read more about this research in the August 2013 issue ofAgricultural Research magazine.

A previous trip to Israel about 6 years ago led us to walk the switchback streets of Haifa from Mt. Carmel on the top, through the many ethnic neighborhoods, Russian, Jewish religious, Palestinian, past the Baha'i Gardens, through an Arab section full of baklava stores, and on down to reach the German Colony near the bottom of the hill before the harbor area.
On our walk I recall stopping for an espresso and an intriguing looking cookie at a coffee shop. [click to continue…]

The future of business intelligence (BI) tools: getting prepared
Business intelligence (BI) technology is in constant flux as BI vendors buy other companies and add new features to their software. In addition, emerging technologies such as operational BI, real-time BI and in-memory and in-database analytics are creating new challenges for BI teams. Is your company ready for the future of BI tools? Should this "next generation" of BI software be rolled out enterprise-wide or departmentally? How should you prioritize your organization's BI investments and build a business case for implementations of new BI technologies? There's a lot that IT and business professionals involved in managing BI systems need to consider.
To help you get prepared, we turned to Forrester Research analyst and BI expert Boris Evelson for his advice and guidance on the future of business intelligence tools and how companies can leverage the new technologies to their advantage.
In this nine-minute interview, viewers will hear real-world examples of how businesses are using the new wave of BI tools and get tips on prioritizing future BI investments, calculating the potential return on investment (ROI) on a BI implementation and overcoming common challenges in deploying new BI technology. Evelson also discusses BI best practices and the importance of good data governance.

The future of business intelligence (BI) tools: getting prepared
Lauren Hoyt: Hello, and welcome to Data Management Video on Business
Intelligence. I am Lauren Hoyt, Senior Editor for
SearchDataManagement.com. Joining me today to talk to me about
how to get started with next-generation business intelligence is
Boris Evelson.
Boris Evelson: Good morning. Thank you.
Lauren Hoyt: Thank you for joining us. Boris is a principal analyst with
Forrester Research. He is a leading expert in business
intelligence and has more than 25 years of experience with
enterprise software, applications, implementation, management
consulting, and strategic advisory skills. Thank you for joining
us today, Boris.
Boris, we are starting to hear more about a new generation of
business intelligence tools on the market today. Do you have any
real world examples of how organizations are using these tools
to make better decisions?
Boris Evelson: Absolutely, Lauren, there are plenty of examples. There is a
single industry that I would single out, that would be financial
services. Traditional BI, as we discussed earlier today, really
addresses a batch-type, a slow historical-type of an analysis.
If you can imagine, for a financial firm, for a Wall Street
firm, very often they need to make real-time decisions, real-time
analysis. Typically, as I said, that has been the realm of
completely separate technologies, with all the ramifications of
reconciling the data back and forth between different
applications. We see plenty of examples in the financial
services where, from the beginning, to unify traditional disk-
based, date warehouse-based BI with in memory BI, a traditional
modeled BI, with the limitless exploration of in memory BI.
I would say financial services firms are leading this trend.
Lauren Hoyt: That's interesting. Are most organizations prepared to take
advantage of these next generation BI capabilities?
Boris Evelson: I would split my answer into two parts. I would say,
departmentally and in some workgroups, probably, yes; they can
immediately take advantage of some tools in memory exploration.
On an enterprise level, I would say most of the organizations
are probably not ready. As we will talk about in a few seconds,
business intelligence is much more about best practices, much more about
methodology, much more about prioritization and good product management,
and much less about technology. Whereas a lot of organizations
do have a good technological foundation, everything else that I
just talked about -- governance, business-led ownership of BI
initiatives -- that still leave a lot to be desired. I would say
you would need to take care of that first before you can fully
address next generation BI.
Lauren Hoyt: OK. With all of the new capabilities out there, how do you
suggest that organizations prioritize and prepare to take
advantage of these next generation BI tools? Where should they
Boris Evelson: It is exactly what I said, if there is a single key success factor
for any business intelligence success, I would say it is
business-led data governance, and we at Forrester write a lot
about that. Please visit our website and take a look at some of
the research documents that we have published on the importance
of data governance; I would say invest in that first. Make sure
that you got all the processes and organizational structure to
govern your data because if business stakeholders do not agree
on the meaning of certain entities, what is a customer? To me
and to you, a customer definition could be different, so how can
we build the right application if we do not even agree on
definitions? Get the governance process in place, agree on those
metrics and then map your requirements to the technology
capabilities of the applications.
Lauren Hoyt: On that note, how would you suggest that our viewers go about
calculating ROI, or building a business case for next generation
business intelligence?
Boris Evelson: That's a great question, because business intelligence, ROI, is
notoriously difficult to calculate. As a matter of fact, just a
few weeks ago, I published a document just on that subject. My
recommendation is, just like with anything else, use common
sense and proceed very, very slowly. No one has really been able
to successfully build and all-encompassing enterprise-wide
business intelligence ROI case, so start slowly. Build a business
case for bottom line benefits. Cost savings, resource
redeployments, consolidating multiple applications into a single
one, get your feet wet building those business cases. Then, and
only then, proceed to the top-line business cases, where you are
going to start correlating revenue increases, better customer
retention to business intelligence. Those are much more
difficult, for multiple reasons that I discuss in the document
that I have. Proceeding slowly on BI business cases, ROI, taking
baby steps is very important.
Lauren Hoyt: That's an interesting approach. What are the biggest
challenges that our viewers are likely to face with implementing
next generation BI, and do you have any suggestions for
overcoming them?
Boris Evelson: Absolutely. The biggest challenge, and you will probably guess
what my answer is, is not technology. It is business priorities,
and it is business involvement. I would say make sure that your
CXOs, your senior executives understand the importance of
business intelligence. Hopefully they learned over the years,
that without measurement, you cannot manage your company. If
they do not understand this, then teach them, educate them with
BI business cases, and slowly but surely, hopefully, they will
understand. Once that transformation takes place, once there is
a very strong top-down mandate to implement business
intelligence, use it as your daily operations and as part of
strategic cycles, typically, that is when things start going
smoothly. That is when an organization is truly ready for next
generation BI.
Lauren Hoyt: Any final words of advice or inspiration for BI professionals
who might be tasked with implementing these next generation BI
Boris Evelson: Sure. Obviously, as you can tell, I can talk about this subject
for hours, and there is plenty of advice on best practices, but
there are two that I want to single out. Number one is working
with professionals. As you can tell, business intelligence is
all about best practices; you can't really study BI in
college or by textbook and use the software as plug-and-play.
You really need someone who has accumulated tons and tons of
best practices, lesson learned, do's and don'ts, the only way
you can do that is if you have literally hundreds of such
implementations projects under your belt, and therefore, working
with professional system integrators, manager consultants, is
very, very, important. It is an important key to success.
The last point I want to make is try to make your BI agile. I
typically speak about this at most of the conferences because
that is a very important topic, and of a lot of interest to
clients. Try to make your BI more flexible because traditional
BI is quite rigid, and our world is not rigid; it changes on
a daily basis. There are a lot of best practices that are out
there to make BI agile, flexible, and react to the ever-changing
business regulatory environment, so I would say that is a very
important key to success.
Lauren Hoyt: Good advice. Thank you so much for joining us today, Boris.
Boris Evelson: My pleasure. Thank you.
Lauren Hoyt: That wraps up today's video on business intelligence. We would
like to give another thanks to our speaker, Boris Evelson. We
would also like to thank you for joining us. We hope you found
this video informative.

Earlier this year the New York Times reposted a 1976 article by Clark Booth about violence and football. It originally appeared in The Real Paper.
Well-worth your time:
Of all the studs who played football in the NFL during the Vietnam years (and were presumably eligible), only one went to war, almost got his foot blown off and returned with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
The only one was Steeler running back Rocky Bleier, whose wartime experiences, not so oddly, offer some insights. To Bleier, there are some interesting parallels between survival in war and survival in pro football. He says:
U.S. Army
Vietnam Veteran and former Pittsburgh Steeler Rocky Bleier poses with Capt. Doug Larsen, who tries on Mr. Bleier's four Super Bowl rings, at the North Dakota National Guard's 2009 Safety Conference in 2009."War injuries and football injuries. The experiences and the reactions are quite the same. In battle action, you're concerned with something more than where you got shot. You're concerned with where the enemy might be. You want to know where you are.
"You could be shot in the stomach. Your leg could be broken and you wouldn't even know it. You would just go on.
"Now you [pointing at me] could twist your ankle and not walk in a week. I could play on that ankle a whole week. The focal point of my attention is not on that injury, it's on getting back into the game. It's the intensity of what's happening at the moment. It's the hostility of the moment. Medically, I can't understand it. But psychologically I can."
War and pro football. The stakes, to many, are about the same. As is the importance they attach to it. War and death. The two images that bring the most clarity to the discussion. The metaphor works. Even the commissioner sees it that way.
Asked at his Friday news conference if he could explain the mounting incidence of serious injury in the game, Alvin "Pete" Rozelle replied, "The problem is we have bigger, faster people banging into each other more often. It's like having a BB gun [the way the game was] and a cannon [the way the game has become]. The cannon hits with much greater force." End of discussion.

A team of university students from the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology have created a smartphone app which uses artificial intelligence to help blind people make better visual sense of the world.
The app, which has been designed for Windows phones, allows visually impaired users to take a photo of their surroundings, for example, a piece of clothing, and the app verbally describes the item to the user. All the user needs to do is tap anywhere on the phone's screen to capture a photo. Images are then compressed to around 50 to 70kb and sent to the app's server for analysis. Artificial intelligence is then used to detect colours, text, darkness and brightness to analyse the image and send back a verbal description of the photo.
"There are many things that computer or artificial intelligence can do, so it's just using computer algorithms you can get some information about an image. [For example], what are the most significant colours in an image or is there any printed text that you can read out or detect darkness and brightness and so on," Aakash Polra, MobileEye's team leader, told Computerworld Australia.
In cases where the image cannot be analysed, it is sent to a human 'helper', such as friends on Facebook or volunteers who are helping blind people, who identify the image, with verbal descriptions again sent to the blind user.
"Humans answer the images where the [app] can't, so it's a mixture of human intelligence and computer intelligence," Polra said.
The app took around seven to eight months to develop, with trials carried out to discover the app's limitations and bugs - it was recently trialled by around 20 users from the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind. There are also plans to extend the app to other countries, including Australia.
"We have been in constant touch with the users and getting their constant feedback and improving the product as we go," Polra said.
Throughout the trials, Polra said issues which had not been evident at the concept phase were raised. For example, one user took a photo of a shoe and the app simply described it as a shoe.
"She said 'I already know that because I can touch and feel that it's a shoe, but I want to know what colour it is? What are the patterns on it?'" Polra said.
"We realised what kind of information is required by the blind users and as we talked with more and more people we learnt more about how the product can be useful in their daily lives and what features we needed to add, so we started adding them, developing them and testing them as well.
"That actually helped make the product more useful to actual users rather than just concepts."
Team MobileEye are one of six finalists competing in the 2012 Microsoft Imagine Cup, which challenges students around the world to develop unique products using technology. The winner to be announced tonight. Other finalists include:
- uCHAMPsys from Taiwan with a ubiquitous Cloud-based health assessment, management and promotion system
- quadSquad from Ukraine with which transforms sign language into a form of verbal communication by creating a mobile device that continuously recognises sign language phonemes
- Coccolo from Japan with a system that enables LED lamps to communicate with each other and automatically dim if there is more light in the room than needed
- wi-GO from Portugal with a robotic cart designed to improve the mobility of people with special needs by using motors and sensors powered by Kinect
- Symbiosis from Greece, which provides therapy for Alzheimer's patients through augmented reality and provides support to all people affected by Alzheimer's, such as caregivers and doctors
Australia's Team StethoCloud, which created a digital stethoscope, placed in the top 20.

The Peanuts Movie does brilliant justice to one of our favourite cartoons.
"Whenever I feel really alone, I just sit and stare into the night sky. I've always thought that one of those stars was my star, and at moments like this, I know that my star will always be there for me."
Peanuts has finally made it big into the 3D animated era. It has ushered in with the whole gang right from the underdog Charlie Brown to the wonder dog Snoopy, from Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Lucy, to Pig-Pen, Sally, Schroeder, Freida, Violet Gray and the little red-haired girl. To top it all they look downright cute and outrageously adorable.
The animation of The Peanuts movie is very lively which takes in comic strip elements into account. Little trivial things like eyebrows of characters changing shapes with their expressions, how they would dangle even on hats and how anything from Pig-Pen would always carry dirt around it, give the movie a beautiful comic picturesque touch.
There are things that will at once hit you with reminiscence. The way Snoopy would jump up in rapture with his nose pointing upwards. How Patty would always exploit Marcie for her work and how the former would always sleep in the class. How Snoopy and Woodstock will work together contradictorily and still be the best of friends.
Some of the bits in the movie are downright brilliant. These frames are subtly manifested just like a Schulz comic strip would. Like the face of the little red-haired girl has never been properly depicted. Also every old character in the movie has a "hard-to-make-out jabber" suggestive of how the Peanuts world only focuses on the young and the imaginary. The flick never even for once depicts the existence of a grown-up in the Peanuts universe which is quite an exceptional and thoughtful way of helming a movie.
Snoopy comes in with a sub-plot, as Schulz often would, where his imagination comes into play. His story adds up extra spice to the tale, and runs parallel to the original. Steve Martino's Snoopy however is a hyperactive animal which was quite unlike Schulz's quiet dog that would only speak through his typewriter. He has been turned into a cartoonish element that packs in or endeavours to pack in that extra bit of snappy yet clumsy comedy that was otherwise missing from the movie. For some this could be a driving factor, but for me Schulz strips seemed more profound as his quiet would speak a lot.
The plot of The Peanuts movie is an exceptional dig into the head of the fallen. The wishy-washy Charlie Brown who just can't do anything right, ends up being a hero by doing the right thing. It is an educational chapter in disguise for people who have strayed away from morality.
Oh I almost forgot! Watch Scrat fail yet again in the little short that runs in the beginning of the flick. The Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe is as hilarious as Scrat could get. And now we wait for Blue Sky's next venture – Ice Age: Collision Course!
The Peanuts Movie
- Adorable movie
- All characters look really cute
- Animation is brilliant
- An entertaining flick with a message
- Subtlety of Schulz is respected
- The sub-plot sometimes becomes lengthy and an unwelcome treat
- Humour is quite average and childish mostly cashing on clumsiness quotient

So which Gibson Custom is right for you? Well, that's a matter of personal preference. Are you a fan of metals most notorious mad man Zakk Wylde? If so, your search could begin and end with the Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul Bull's Eye Electric Guitar. This guitar's incredible bull's eye design is only the beginning, it also features 81 and 85 EMG humbucking pickups that absolutely scorch the musical landscape. With a look that chills and a tone that thrills, this guitar has it all.
Or maybe you'd rather pay tribute to the radically designed Gibson Firebird? If that's the case, check out the gorgeous 20th Anniversary Firebird VII Electric Guitar. This reissue captures all of the elements that made the Firebird such a ground breaking instrument, from the solid mahogany body wings, to its three Mini-Humbuckers, to the banjo tuners on the reversed-six-in-line headstock. With a punchy tone and unparalleled clarity, this is the kind of instrument that will have you burning it up at gigs and in the studio.
One thing is for sure, regardless of the Gibson Custom you choose, you're going to be blown away by the craftsmanship. From Peter Frampton's Les Paul to the absolute stunner Super 400 Hollowbody with Triple P-90s, these guitars will make your wildest rock and roll dreams come true.

Arabic: 'islāmiyya
Islamism is not one -1- ideology. Inside the same society, several directions of Islamism can be found, and these are seldom cooperating. People belonging to an Islamist group, call themselves, and are called by others 'islāmiyy for men and 'islāmiyya for women. Both men and women are called Islamists in English. Islamism is often referred to as Salafism, but this encyclopaedia uses the general term 'Islamism' throughout, since early Salafism is the contrary to modern Islamism.
Early descriptions of Islamism relied much upon the presentations of the Islamist ideologists themselves, in which there are 4 main motifs for the development of the modern, yet conservative understanding of :
1. Differences
2. Cultural problems
3. The Golden Age
4. Political alternative
5. Self-pity and hate

text: Over the past few weeks we've noticed a big change in our youngest infant Mahali. He has started to branch away from his mum more and more, leaving her on one side of the exhibit while he's off exploring his surroundings on the other side.Mahali found climbing the large logs and ropes a little daunting at first. We saw him start by sliding across the logs, then slowly venturing up on all fours and now moving quite confidently across them and even swinging on the ropes.Fuzu, who's the slightly older infant, and Kimya, who's five years old, are also paying much more attention to Mahali as he finds his new freedom. When we are doing the Keeper Talks you can often find Fuzu and Mahali rumbling and tumbling in front of the logs and waterfall while their mums are left to forage for food or relax.Kimya who has taken on a mothering role to Mahali, likes to play with him gently but then when it's all over she will pick him up and walk away with him on her back.Mahali has always been been a little more confident than Fuzu and we're sure that over the coming weeks Mahali with the help of his older playmate will get up to more mischief as he finds his way around the forest exhibit.As our infants grow so does the awareness of our mobile phone recycling campaign. We have collected around 3500 mobile phones which have all helped in the reduction of mining for the mineral Coltan in Africa's Gorilla habitat. By donating your old mobile phone, not only do you reduce the mining pressure placed on their territory, but you are also raising funds from the sale of the refurnished phone that directly aid primate conservation.The campaign is going strong just like Mahali and his adventures, so these holidays why not come out to the zoo and see our little gorilla grow – and don't forget to bring your old mobile along to donate and help his wild cousins.- LisaPrimate Keeper

Sowa's Red Gravy Stirs up a Tasty Brew
Tale of witchery brews up Sowa's Red Gravy
"Sowa's Red Gravy" ends it production at the Castillo Theatre, located at
The talented singer, composer and actress, Lonette McKee, played the lead role of Sowa in Diane Richards' occasionally complicated but very comical play of ancient witches, whose understanding of nature, archaic African ritual and wise-women ways, led them to conjure for the Harlem locals, cooking up voodoo type love potions and youthful spells that made the 3 centenarians look less than half their age. "I cast a spell that made me look 52," claimed the 110 year old Sowa, because it was just too much trouble to cast a spell to look younger."
Narrating the audience through this tale of many twist and turns, while showing how temptation affects even those professing to be most holy, Sowa reveals she is in competition with fellow witches Luwanna (Kimberly "Q") and Windy Willow (Toni Seawright) who stir up their own recipe of red gravy to capture the attention of Sapphire (Jonathan Peck) and turn him into their individual love slave. Thing is, the cocky Sapphire uses his manly tool and sexual charms to make the witches just as much his slaves as he is theirs. He couldn't help the sexy spells he cast on women simply with his manly swagger and bedroom eyes, he was just born that way. Or so he claimed.
Baaad Luwanna with her spiky hair, is so proud of her sexual prowess she stays in her negligee and always looks like she is ready for bed. She has no intentions of giving the "good-lovin" Sapphire up. Thus, what results are witchy cat fights between the witches as they test their powers and try to out-spell one another. Unable to best Luwanna who keeps Sapphire at her beck and call, Sowa and Windy Willow join forces to get Sapphire for Sowa.
"Are you with me or a'gen me" asks Sowa of Windy Willow who claimed her magic was so powerful she turned herself 30, a month after her birth. So fast did Windy raise herself up from birth, that she couldn't tell whether she was a man in a women's body or just a lesbian that sometimes loved men. Although, she did not reveal to her fellow witches her attraction to Sapphire, whose manly ways even had the oft-times lesbian, feeling her feminine side; other men got on her nerves so badly, Windy Willow was not above whipping up a deadly herbal concoction to get rid of them. So powerful was
In fact, in one very amusing scene,
Kene Holliday has fun as the devil Belozah, kicking up a storm as the red devil, dressed from top to bottom in red hue, representing the fires of hell and the lust for life that the devil has for the wild side. Belozah enjoys women, wine and sin and a good cigar. He has so much fun corrupting people who enjoy being corrupted, he asks why sinners don't celebrate his birthday like that do that goody two shoes the earth calls the son.
The entire cast is on point and makes this play very appetizing. It brings to the fore ancient wisdom, knowledge of nature and the power of those that know the secrets of the cosmic mysteries that has been explored through the centuries by diverse cultures and students of enchantment; whether it is voo doo, the earth magic of Wicca, witchcraft or the Jewish magic of Cabala. Actor Aaron Fried plays a double role as a paranoid white man looking for a protection spell to safeguard him against becoming a minority in the growing browning of
Drummer David D. Wright keeps the rhythms flowing as dancer, Iris Wilson, graces the stage with her sensuous dance numbers and witty banter as a church lady during the church scene.
All and all, Sowa's Red Gravy gave the audience a devil of a time. Directed by Woodie King, Jr., Sowa's Red Gravy casts a spell on its audience and made the play a tasty and palatable brew.

Sealing washers, F design
The shaft washer of a set of F-design sealing washers (fig 1) has an additional thin flocked plastic washer. The velvet-like flock consists of short, wear-resistant polyamide fibres.
As the fibres of the flock only exert a slight pressure on the counterface of the housing washer, there is no marked increase in friction compared with the standard washers. The only difference is noticed when operation is started. The friction is initially relatively high but sinks rapidly after a few revolutions. The friction torque is dependent on many factors including mounting accuracy, degree of contamination etc. and is therefore difficult to predict.
The flocked sealing washers are superior to the standard washers as regards efficiency in the following cases:
- In surroundings which are unfavourable for rolling bearings, particularly where material containing abrasive particles such as sand, soil, cement etc. is handled.
- Where, because of wet and dirty surroundings, grease-filled bearings fitted with rubbing seals are used, the rubber lips of which require protection against abrasive particles (fig 2).
- Where limited space prohibits the use of a number of standard sets.
- Where operating conditions, e.g. speed or temperature, are such that grease cannot be retained between the standard sealing washers.
The advantages of using flocked sealing washers are that relubrication intervals can be extended and that the service life of the bearings is lengthened. It has been found that bearings in agricultural equipment, for instance, which have to operate in close proximity to soil, water and vegetation, require much less maintenance when they are protected by flocked sealing washers.

We are using Selenium webservices for our automated functional testing .
I have a test which tests creation of some objects. If I run the same test again, I need to make sure that each test has a different business key - else it will run into unique-constraint violation.
One way, I can fix this is to reset the database before\after every run of test suite so that each test suite doesn't conflict with another. However my individual tests within the same run are not isolated from each other.
How do I get to the point, where all my tests are isolated and do not conflict with each other?
Right now we query the databse to generate random IDs which do not exist in the database. But I am sure there must be a more elegant way of solving this.
