Release Uncertainty, Regret, and Fear
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, "It might have been."
- John Greenleaf Whittier
I rest in the light of forgiveness.
I forgive myself and others for that
which is done (and better left undone)
and also that which is not done (and better if done).
I give myself permission to enjoy this moment without guilt.
I freely release all uncertainty, regret, and fear.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
Live life with no regrets and no resentments.
Whatever happened in the past,

Chaotic scene as Ayla Reynold's father faces a judge
Prosecutors drop assault charges against Justin DiPietro
What was supposed to be a court appearance for the father of a missing toddler, Ayla Reynolds -- completely unrelated to that case, turns chaotic.
Outside the courtroom, Ayla's mother and her family confronted Justin DiPietro.
They used Wednesday's court appearance as an opportunity to confront DiPietro with questions about Ayla and what happened at his Waterville home the night she disappeared on Dec. 17, 2011.
"Justin, please? Justin, just look me in the eye so I can see her," said Trista Reynolds to the father of her missing child.
Trista Reynolds and her supporters chased DiPietro through the streets of Portland Wednesday but he didn't want anything to do with them.
This day was filled with confrontations both inside and outside Cumberland County Court.
Court officers threw several people out of the building after family members scuffled inside.
"I am Ayla's grandmother and I believe that she's alive," said Phoebe DiPietro, to which Trista Reynolds responded, "And I'm her mother."
"Yes," said Phoebe DiPietro. "Then believe that she's alive and tell us what you did with her."
Justin DiPietro was in court to answer to charges that are unrelated to Ayla's disappearance.
Prosecutors dismissed a July assault charge, saying the victim was no longer cooperative.
DiPietro pleaded guilty to violating conditions of release related to a September traffic stop.
The judge sentence him to spend four days in jail and pay a $150 fine.
With credit for time served, DiPietro was released.
He eventually ran away from the angry mob that followed him out of court, berating him the whole way.
Ron Reynolds, Ayla's grandfather, explained why it's so hard for his family to control their emotions.
"Are we not supposed to feel like this? Are we not supposed to hurt every day?" Reynolds said.
State police said they believe Ayla is dead, although they have never charged anyone with a crime or named any suspects in this case.
A state police spokesman did not want to comment on Wednesday's events.

Muppets are immortal
Like many Muppet fans I grew up with the franchise, and I have high hopes for the soon to be released movie. As a retail buyer I expect a return of a classic brand to bring with it a slew of merchandise, be it classic re-released items of newer interpretations. As the Thanksgiving release date for the Muppets Movie approaches however, there is little to no merchandise being made available to support the popularity of this established cast of characters. Considering the amount of merchandising effort put into some recent releases, it is hard to understand what climate mix of corporate palm greasing and internet anticipation is required to create merchandise around a release date.
From my perspective the Muppet Movie license is a safer bet than many of the brands currently on offer to both mass and independent retailers. This Jim Henson creation has the benefit of a built in fanbase of adults who have been raised on a carefully curated brand. Looking at the celebrity guest list on the imdb page would clue any skeptic in to the potential of this film. Meanwhile the younger generation may be rather unaware of the Muppets, but Sesame Street has prepared them for the awesome they are soon to experience.
Confusingly, there is some Fraggle Rock merchandise available at the moment, so if you really need some classic Jim Henson toys, that would be a good starting place. Toy Joy is going to keep searching for cool Muppet products. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any leads! In the meantime, continue the anticipation with another trailer:

When I bought my new home, I didn't know who to call for new blinds. I asked my neighbor who they bought their's from and they recommended Clear Vision Blinds. I called them and they came out the next day to give me a free estimate. They don't just sell the blinds, but help with choosing the style and colors of the blinds. I was so happy with my blinds and happy with the experience of working with the owers, Bill and Sue.
I will tell all of my friends about Clear Vision Blinds.
Christine Delmar -
I live in Salem and just bought a beach house in Newport, Oregon. I was looking for a blind company in my area that would service the Oregon coast. Clear Vision Blinds is based in the valley and the coast and met us at our new home for a consultation. We had our new blinds in less than two weeks. They helped us pick a perfect color and the perfect type of blind for our beach house. We were so thrilled when the project was completed. I would highly recommend Clear Vision Blinds. They are very easy to work with and really good at what they do.
Marty Belmer

If customer service is important to you, buy your blinds from Clear Vision Blinds. Bill and Sue are professional, friendly, and are truly concerned about their customer's satisfaction.

Passwords can be written as plain text in SQL statements such as
PASSWORD, and statements that invoke the
PASSWORD() function. If such
statements are logged by the MySQL server as written, passwords
in them become visible to anyone with access to the logs. This
applies to the general query log, the slow query log, and the
binary log (see Section 5.4, "MySQL Server Logs").
Contents of the audit log file produced by the audit log plugin are not encrypted. For security reasons, this file should be written to a directory accessible only to the MySQL server and users with a legitimate reason to view the log. See Section 18.104.22.168, "MySQL Enterprise Audit Security Considerations".
To guard log files against unwarranted exposure, locate them in
a directory that restricts access to the server and the database
administrator. If the server logs to tables in the
mysql database, grant access to those tables
only to the database administrator.
Replication slaves store the password for the replication master

to be accessible only to the database administrator.
Use a restricted access mode to protect database backups that include log tables or log files containing passwords.

text: Saga of my one month long practicals of experimental psychology and classes in all subjects is interesting for others but it was a trying circumstance for me. I was a correspondence course student for M. A. Psychology in a university's personal contact programme in Tamil Nadu from Haryana that means in South India from North India.Here, everything was different to which I was accustomed to whether it was language or food.English ( U.K.) was the medium of instructions for lectures and practicals and it was even for interaction with my fellow students. I was not well fluent in English.Besides,the food rice all the time and curries prepared in coconut oil was a big problem for me.Due in course to the meal, environment, and climate myself remained ill for the entire period. Communicàtion problem was yet a bigger problem than food. My mother tongue Hindi (the main language of India) was not studied, read, or spoken in that area.Sometimes, I even failed to the extent of expressing my real motive or giving some instances related to the queries. Some students used to make fun at me from distance.There style,tone, and voices used to be irritative for me but I never made a quarrel with the local fellow students. A lady from Bangalore Mrs.Sultana could understand my plight and begin to speak in Hindi.Overall to above, the pronunciation of English of the teachers was also different and myself would ask again and again to get the meaning.Some of them were very cooperative and a few were of researved type nature. Throughout the entire period the saga of a stranger was the subject of discussion.When, I returned to home and narrated my tale of woe, I was praised for my patience.https://centerformetapsychics.com

This study was carried out to assess the water quality of the Senegal River by turbidity and Chemical parameters during the rainy season. The 24 samples were collected from 4 stations and sampling was conducted at two different dates, namely 7th and 22nd August 2013. The chemical parameters studied are Ammonia (NH4+), Orthophosphates (PO43-), Silica (SiO2), Oxidizables Matters (OM), Aluminium (Al), iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb). The water of Senegal River showed the existence of the pollution from the turbidity during August; corresponding at rainy season. Analysis observation revealed variation in the values of NH4+ from 0.01-1.12 mg/L, PO43- from 0.49- 1.70 mg/L, SiO2 from 0.04- 1.02 mg/L, OM from 1.28-3.84 mg/L, Al from 20- 500 µg/L, Fe from 170- 320 µg/L, Mn from 1- 6 µg/L, Zn from 20-100 µg/L and Pb from 0.5-10.2 µg/L. The use of turbidimetry for assessing water pollution is positive and motivating by its permanence, instantaneous but not sufficient. It is imperative to study the pesticides content in the water of Senegal River to make a good model of treatment.

A sneak peek into author Lynn Serafinn's new paradigm
My friend and colleague, Lynn Serafinn, has just published her new book The 7 Graces of Marketing: how to heal humanity and the planet by changing the way we sell. The ideas she presents in this 400+ page book are a call to action, not only to business owners and marketers, but to everyone one of us as a consumer. I'm very excited about her book, and about her new paradigm "The 7 Graces of Marketing". Today, I asked
to give us a short overview of "The 7 Graces", and how they pertain not only to business and marketing, but also to life in general. This will be a whirlwind tour of these ideas (after all, the book is over 400 pages long), but I think you will get a taste for what they're about, and hopefully think of ways to apply them in your own business and life. Lynn
* * * * *
Grace #1: Connection
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Disconnection". Connection is at the foundation of everything in life—Connection to Self, Source, others, our businesses, and our audience—determine how effectively and authentically we communicate and conduct our lives. When business owners are disconnected from Self, their businesses cannot be genuine representations of who they are. And the problem is, as businesses get bigger and bigger, that Connection becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. When business owners are not connected to Source and others, it opens to door to exploitation of both natural resources and people. Connection is the first of the 7 Graces, because without it the other Graces cannot manifest.
Grace #2: Inspiration
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Persuasion". The literal meaning of the word "Inspiration" means "to breathe life into". As business owners, we have a choice to be "life giving" to our audience or "life robbing". Persuasion, wherein we will do anything and everything to make a sale/profit, is life robbing. As business owners, it is our responsibility to "feed" society, and thus ensure not only that our products and services are life-giving, but also that our communications (marketing) is life-giving. For marketing to be filled with the "Grace of Inspiration", it should never incite fear, anxiety or feelings of inadequacy.
Grace #3: Invitation
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Invasion". Nearly every form of marketing we see today is invasive. Our attention span is continually interrupted, whether it is through television/radio adverts, pop up messages, uninvited email adverts, cold-calling or billboards. As business owners and marketers, we need to bring back the "Grace of Invitation" into our communications. This means that when visitors come into our "space" (our website, our office/shop), we treat them like respected guests, offering them hospitality and generosity. Conversely, when we come into our customers' space (as when we send out emails), we must do so with courtesy and care, ensuring we never become the dreaded "houseguest from hell".
Grace #4: Directness
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Distraction". So much modern advertising depends upon Distraction to seize and maintain our attention. Nearly every advert you see will utilise random brand identity triggers and humour to get us to pay attention. What is wrong with this is that people end up buying products simply because they remember the advert, and not necessarily because they have been given direct, clear information about the product or service. Directness is simple: we marketers need to get back to "telling it like it is" instead of hyping up our businesses. The public need to be informed and empowered. The Grace of Directness allows that to happen.
Grace #5: Transparency
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Deception". Deception in marketing is rife, but is sometimes extremely subtle. In the book, I give many examples of how language and imagery are often used in a deceptive way in marketing, where technically (and legally) the message is "true", but the unconscious message we perceive is untrue. Transparency literally means "to shine light through". When we are Transparent in marketing and in life, we are not merely being honest, but we are also allowing the true intention behind our thoughts, words and deeds to be seen and heard clearly. When we walk in Transparency, both in business and in life, we are walking in the Essence of who we really are.
Grace #6: Abundance
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Scarcity". The chapter on Scarcity in the book is one of the biggest, because it's simply such a massive topic. Scarcity marketing is all around us, and it appears in so many forms, from limited-time offers to the various kinds of "obsolescence" used to incite us to buy beyond our needs or means. Abundance, on the other hand, is the fundamental belief that there is enough for all—when we are living in rhythm with the planet. It is our natural state of being. If we operate our business from the fundamental belief in lack or Scarcity, we will always bring Scarcity strategies into our marketing. The irony is that Scarcity begets Scarcity. In other words, if we operate from a Scarcity mentality, we are likely to create the very Scarcity we most fear because the end result will be overconsumption. Overconsumption is destroying both our economy and the ecological balance of our natural world. But if we operate from a fundamental belief in Abundance, we will not bring such fear and anxiety into our marketing, and overconsumption will be a thing of the past.
Grace #7: Collaboration
This is the "antidote" to the "Deadly Sin of Competition". Many people have the false notion that competition is necessary to create healthy economies and stronger societies. But this is largely a myth and has no foundation in Nature whatsoever. While I believe in "free enterprise", this is not the same thing as Competition. In the book, I cite many studies that have proved how Competition diminishes creativity and innovation. When we conduct our businesses or our lives with a competitive mindset, we not only reduce our own performance, but we also reduce the support we receive from others. On the other hand, Collaboration always results in something greater than the sum of its parts. Every single marketing campaign I have produced is based upon Collaboration. The permaculture of the world is actually one giant, interdependent Collaboration. We've been brought up in a competitive world, but the more connected we become via technologies like social media, the more we see that Collaboration is the way we perform best.

- cognitive, intuitive, physical, emotional, energetic
- and how to use them
• The different between positive and negative resonance
• Honing it on what resonates in any given situation, and what does not
• The role energy plays in resonance
• Weeding out that which is irrelevant or least resonant in any situation

• Creating collective resonance – the conditions to generate it in others
• Enhanced leadership performance
• Decisions made more quickly and easily

Painting wooden floorboards should be approached in much the same way as any other painting project. The floorboards should be clean and dust-free, dry and as free from pits, bumps and other irregularities as possible. Any large cracks, holes or other depressions should be repaired. Irregularities left in the floor will become glaringly visible when paint is applied. For best results, the floorboards should be free of polyurethane finishes and old, chipped or worn paint.
Sweep with a broom and mop the floorboards to remove any debris and dirt.
Sand the edges and the corners of the room. Sand outward from the corners and edges to about 15 cm. Use the orbital sander to sand the entire room, meeting the hand-sanded edges and corners. This will ensure that the entire room has been sanded.
Mop the floor with clean water two to three times to ensure all the sanding dust has been removed and the floor is clean.
Fill any large cracks, chips and other depressions in the floorboards, using wood putty and a putty knife. Wait the manufacturer-recommended time for the putty to dry; when dry, hand-sand with fine-grit sandpaper until each repaired area is smooth.
Clean the dust away thoroughly with clean, wet rags if you repaired only a few small places. Otherwise, mop the room thoroughly with clean water at least twice to ensure all the dust has been removed. Allow the floorboards to dry thoroughly. Using the wide masking tape, cover your skirting boards to protect them from the paint.
Cut-in the edges and corners of the room with primer, using your paintbrush. Paint outward from the edges and corners about 15 cm all around the room. This will allow the roller to meet these edges without touching the skirting boards and walls.
Dip your paint roller into the tray and paint the primer over the remaining surface of the room, meeting the cut-in areas. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for drying time. Paint a second coat of primer if you like, though one is considered enough.
Apply your first coat of paint in the same manner as you applied the primer. Wait at least 24 hours before applying the second coat.
Apply a coat of clear polyurethane varnish over the paint if you want to harden the surface of the floorboards and extend durability.
Most recent
- Do not let anything touch or anyone walk on your painted floorboards until they are completely dry.

Palestinian Literature and Film in Postcolonial Feminist Perspective is the first sustained study of gender-consciousness in the Palestinian creative imagination. Drawing on concepts from postcolonial feminist theory, Ball analyses a range of literary and filmic works by major creative practitioners including Michel Khleifi , Liana Badr, Annemarie Jacir, Elia Suleiman, Mona Hatoum and Suheir Hammad, and reveals a hitherto unrecognized trajectory in gender-consciousness under development in the Palestinian imagination from the start of the twentieth century. The book explores how these works resonate with questions of power, identity, nation, resistance, and self-representation in the Palestinian imagination more broadly, and asks how these gender-conscious narratives transform our understanding of Palestine's struggle for postcoloniality. Working at the cusp of postcolonial, feminist and cultural enquiry, Ball seeks to open up vital new directions in the interdisciplinary study of Palestine.
Introduction: Permission to Re-Narrate 1. En-Gendering Palestine: Narratives of Desire and Dis-Orientation 2. Women Writing Resistance: Between Nationalism and Feminism 3. Masculinity in Crisis: From Patriarchy to (Post)Colonial Performativity 4. Bodies Beyond Boundaries? Transitional Spaces and Liminal Selves 5. Imagining the Transnational Feminist Community Conclusion: Postcolonial Feminist Futures
Edited in collaboration with the Centre for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, University of Kent at Canterbury, Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures presents a wide range of research into postcolonial literatures by specialists in the field. Volumes concentrate on writers and writing originating in previously (or presently) colonized areas, and include material from non-anglophone as well as anglophone colonies and literatures.
Part of our home for cutting-edge, upper-level scholarly studies and edited collections, this series considers postcolonial literature alongside topics such as gender, race, ecology, religion, politics, and science. Titles are characterized by dynamic interventions into established subjects and innovative studies on emerging topics. Series editors: Donna Landry and Caroline Rooney

History Through One Painting
Labels: Art, Art as a spark for writing, creating, history
Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante
Don't you agree that this is a most wonderful painting? It is oil on canvas, by Chinese artists Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi, and Zhang An, 2006. It's well worth checking it out online, and remember to scroll to the right to see it all.
I think this makes a wonderful Who Am I? game, as we try to identify each famous person. Who is this person? What makes you think so? What do you know about them? What would you like to know about this person?
It would also make an interesting focus for some history research. Students could try to identify people, then go on to delve further into their background. In what period of history did this person live? Why were they important? What were the consequences of this person's actions or life? How is this person remembered by others? Sites like KidInfo list some excellent online resources for further study, or check out what your local library has to offer.
Children could think about which one of the people they would like to invite to dinner and why. Maybe they could write an invitation to the person and explain their choice. What sort of food would your famous person like? How about inviting several of them. Can you create a menu and design some table decorations to suit?
Talk about the painting generally with your kids. Do they like the style? What is the background? Why are there so few famous women? Can you spot and identify all the objects in the painting? Are any of them significant?
Not sure of the identity of a figure? Luckily, there's a cheat's page. If you scroll over a person, it will take you to their name. You can see the whole list under the painting. The list, combined with the painting, is such an interesting way to delve into human history.
Was the camel in the painting famous too? If you need a laugh, check out Celebrities that found success despite looking like a camel. I just checked the mirror - fortunately, I am not a celebrity.

IN the fall of 1999, after five years serving an inventive butter-poached lobster dish at the French Laundry, his celebrated restaurant in Yountville, Calif., the chef Thomas Keller published the recipe. ''Butter-poached lobster,'' he wrote at the beginning of his instructions in ''The French Laundry Cookbook,'' ''is extraordinarily versatile.''
No kidding. The recipe hit bookstores in 1999, and since then butter-poached lobster has spread from its original home in the Napa Valley to restaurants across the country and as far afield as Vancouver, the Bahamas and London, sometimes in variations that Mr. Keller would scarcely recognize.
Now, threatening to become as commonplace as a tuna tartare appetizer or a molten chocolate cake dessert, the dish is achieving status as a main course, like a culinary Birkin bag. But unlike the tartare and the cake, whose origins have been muddied by the currents of memory and evolution, the source of today's butter-poached lobster is quite clear: Mr. Keller.
''I wanted to find a way to cook lobster gently, so it wouldn't be tough,'' Mr. Keller said. ''I don't remember seeing it done anywhere else, and this made perfect sense to me. Who in America hasn't had lobster with melted butter?''
Most chefs who have put butter-poached lobster on their menus, including Rick Moonen of Oceana in Manhattan and Michael Kramer of McCrady's in Charleston, S.C., readily credit Mr. Keller with creating the dish. ''I saw butter poaching in Thomas Keller's book,'' said Gerry Hayden, the executive chef at Aureole in Manhattan, where he serves what he calls butter-braised lobster with either truffle coulis or a coconut curry broth. Mr. Hayden acknowledges that the technique he uses is essentially the same one Mr. Keller described in his book.
Butter poaching a lobster follows a critically important first step: par-cooking, which lets the chef remove the lobster from its shell. It is impossible to extract raw lobster from its carapace, Mr. Keller explained, but a very brief blanching, enough to kill the lobster without actually cooking it, frees the flesh.
''Most of the time they tell you to boil a lobster so many minutes depending on the size,'' he said. ''But it can toughen, and even if it doesn't, you can forget about trying to reheat the meat without it getting rubbery.''
Mr. Keller pours boiling water with a little vinegar over his lobsters. Other chefs blanch them in boiling water for just a minute or two. Treated this way, lobster meat can be kept refrigerated for as long as several hours, until just before serving time. The final cooking takes minutes.
The process, Mr. Keller wrote in the cookbook, ''loads the flavor of butter into the meat and cooks it so slowly and gently that the flesh remains exquisitely tender -- so tender some people think it's not completely cooked.''
The lobster emerges glistening and lush-textured from its butter bath, which is not simply melted butter but what chefs call a beurre monté. Before the lobster is put in its pot, butter is whisked bit by bit into a few tablespoons of simmering water or other liquid like wine or stock, so its milk solids do not separate as they would if the butter were melted on its own. The butter can be infused with spices and other seasonings.
For three one-and-a-half-pound lobsters, Mr. Keller uses nearly a pound of butter. The lobster meat is allowed to cook slowly in it for five to six minutes.
For his dish at the French Laundry, Mr. Keller combines the cooked lobster with tender leeks, a sheet of contrastingly crisp potato and a tart-sweet deep-ruby beet glaze.
''I've always liked pairing lobster with leeks and beets, but now think I've found the perfect interpretation,'' he said. But that hasn't stopped him from coming up with seasonal variations, like the one shown in the inset photograph, with carrot emulsion and spring pea shoots.
Mr. Moonen of Oceana also changes his version of the dish with the seasons, and is about to introduce butter-poached lobster with asparagus flan, morels, pea shoots and black-truffle vinaigrette on his spring menu. Mr. Kramer, of McCrady's in Charleston, features butter-poached lobster with foie gras, poached pear and a black truffle-riesling sauce. The dish is available with sweet white corn and leek ragout, petits lardons and a lobster bisque at La Folie in San Francisco.
Brandon Wolff, the executive chef at Dream Dance, a casino restaurant in Milwaukee, combines his herb-butter-poached lobster with saffron risotto and beurre blanc. In Reno, Nev., high rollers dining at the White Orchid in the Peppermill Hotel Casino can indulge in sweet butter-poached lobster with truffled potato, spring vegetable medley and chive butter.
If you start with butter-poached lobster, as Mr. Keller noted, almost anything goes. Still, he probably never imagined butter-poached lobster with Kobe beef, seared foie gras and maitake mushroom egg foo yong, all in a balsamic-soya reduction, which is what the dish has morphed into at the Woodlands Resort and Inn in Summerville, S.C.
Not every chef attributes the inspiration for butter poaching lobster to Mr. Keller. Indeed, William Morris, the executive chef at the new Lure in Manhattan, said he stole the idea from Mr. Moonen, giving the recipe a second-generation pedigree, since Mr. Moonen readily acknowledges Mr. Keller as his muse. David Walzog, who serves butter-poached Maine lobster with parsley couscous and a brandy lobster sauce at the Monkey Bar in Manhattan, said the idea came from his mentor, Alfred Portale of Gotham Bar and Grill, who he said taught him to use a butter bath for cooking vegetables.
At Le Papillon in San Jose, Calif., the executive chef, Scott Cooper, said he dreamed up butter-poached lobster served atop roasted veal loin in a chive jus because he wanted a dish to pair with red wine. He said that the butter poaching was his variation on olive oil poaching, which he learned before he went to Le Papillon.
Brent Pollock, the executive chef at Azie in San Francisco, said he got the idea from Donnie Masterton, the previous chef there, who he said learned it at Tavern on the Green in New York when Patrick Clark, who died in 1998, was the executive chef. Instead of being poached, the shelled lobster is drenched with butter and roasted in a slow oven for about five minutes.
Roland Passot, the executive chef at La Folie in San Francisco, said he thought he remembered chefs butter poaching lobster in France, and he noted that the technique is similar to the one used to make confit: slow poaching in fat. ''It's a much better technique than the old way of doing lobster,'' he said.
Gordon Ramsay, the Michelin three-star chef in London, who also serves butter-poached lobster at Claridge's, offered the same confit comparison. He said his source was Michel Bras, in France. But a certain amount of Kellerization still applies to his version, Mr. Ramsay acknowledged, because he exchanged chefs with Mr. Keller's restaurant a few years ago.
Taking credit for originating a recipe or a dish is risky. Save for a few exceptions -- the invention of lobster Newburg in the late 1800's at Delmonico's restaurant in New York, for example -- it is rare to find something truly new under the heat lamp. People have concocted, cooked and combined ingredients without recording the results ever since the first takeout menu for haunch of saber-toothed tiger was slipped into the cave. No one should assume, for example, that the fennel sorbet or truffle ice cream on a cutting-edge tasting menu is a chef's brilliant new creation. As Elizabeth David, the English food writer, wrote in her book ''Harvest of the Cold Months: The Social History of Ice and Ices'' (Viking, 1994), both dishes were made in 18th-century France.
Indeed, while Mr. Keller may have come up with his butter poaching technique independently, his preparatory step has been around for years. A number of lobster recipes in the 1984 edition of Larousse Gastronomique, for example, call for preliminary blanching. It's also the way Jean-Georges Vongerichten has always started the lobster that is prepared with Thai herbs at Vong.
None of that should bother Mr. Keller. After all, the potatoes he serves with his butter-poached lobster at the French Laundry have a pedigree, too. They were created at Maxim's in Paris, which opened in 1893.
Adapted from ''The French Laundry Cookbook'' by Thomas Keller (Artisan, 1999)
Time: 2 hours
1 pound unsalted butter at room temperature, in pieces
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced leek rounds
1/4 medium-size ripe tomato, peeled, flesh cut in small diamond shapes
2 teaspoons minced chives
1 teaspoon each finely diced carrot, turnip and dark green of leeks
Red-beet essence (see recipe)
Par-cooked meat from 3 lobsters at room temperature (see recipe)
Pommes Maxim (see recipe).
1. Place 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very low, and whisk in butter piece by piece. Continue adding until all butter is emulsified. Set aside, and keep warm (the best way is in a thermos); do not allow to boil.
2. Bring a 3-quart pot of water seasoned with 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Have a large bowl of ice water ready. Add leeks to boiling water, cook 5 minutes until just tender, drain in a sieve and place sieve with leeks in ice water until leeks are cool. Drain, and transfer to a small sauté pan. Place over low heat to reheat. Add tomato, chives, diced carrot, turnip and leek greens. Stir in 1/3 cup emulsified butter. Season with salt and pepper, and cover to keep warm.
3. Place beet essence in a small saucepan. Whisk in 3 tablespoons emulsified butter, and cover to keep warm.
4. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place lobster pieces in single layer in a large saucepan or sauté pan. Add remaining emulsified butter. Lobster meat should be just about covered. Place pan over low heat, and cook 5 to 6 minutes, until meat is just heated through. Remove knuckle pieces, drain and fold into leek mixture.
5. While lobster cooks, place potatoes in oven 2 to 3 minutes to reheat.
6. To serve, place a spoonful of warm beet essence in center of each of 6 plates. Briefly reheat leek mixture, and spoon onto beet essence. Remove lobster tails and claws from butter mixture, draining well; place a tail piece and a claw on each plate, on top of leeks. Break potatoes in six pieces and place on top of the lobster. Serve.
Yield: 6 servings.
Time: 30 minutes
3 1 1/2- to 2-pound live lobsters
White vinegar.
1. Place lobsters in a container with tight-fitting lid. Cover with cold water, remove lobsters and measure water. Pour water into another large pot, and add 1 tablespoon vinegar for every quart of water. Boil.
2. Return lobsters to lidded container. Pour the hot water over them, cover and steep 2 minutes for 1 1/2-pound lobsters, 3 minutes for 2-pound lobsters. Remove lobsters. Reserve water in container.
3. Pull off lobster claws and knuckles, and return to hot water for 5 minutes. Twist off tails, and discard bodies.
4. Snip through bottom sides of tail shells with shears. Remove meat. Discard shells. Cut tail meat in half lengthwise. Remove vein running through top of meat. Place meat on a platter lined with paper towel, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
5. Remove claws from hot water. Twist off knuckles, and reserve. Hold claw, pull down on small pincer and pull it off. Use heavy shears to snip shell at knuckle end enough to open it; remove meat in one piece. Add to platter with tail meat.
6. Use shears to snip through the knuckle shell, pry open and remove meat. Add to the platter.
Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large Yukon Gold potato, about 9 ounces, peeled and sliced paper thin
Kosher salt.
1. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place butter in a saucepan over low heat. Skim foam from surface, and discard. Slowly pour off clear golden melted butter into a bowl, discarding milky residue.
2. Toss potatoes in bowl with clarified butter. Arrange slices, overlapping, on a nonstick baking sheet, and sprinkle with salt. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until crisp and golden. Set aside at room temperature.
Time: 30 minutes
1 pound red beets, peeled and juiced, or 1 cup juice from health-food store
1/2 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
A few drops lemon juice.
Place beet juice in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly reduce to no more than 1/4 cup; it should be thickened to a glaze. Add vinegar and lemon juice, and set aside.

Let's start off with the basics: When you decide to trade CFDs, you can almost immediately start taking advantage of no commissions and fixed spreads on over 1,000 assets. This alone opens a world filled with endless possibilities in front of you. Sounds like a good start, right?
But that's not all. The real question that still needs to be answered is what triggered Saudi traders to recognize the tremendous potential that comes with CFD and Forex trading. The answer is self-explanatory: the online trading industry has evolved. For that same exact purpose, a few online brokers, such as Opteck, have developed a so-called "custom-made" trading platform, so every Saudi Arabian trader will be able to benefit from optimal trading conditions and build a strong, diverse portfolio for himself.
What's So Special about CFD Trading?A Contract for Difference is a tradable instrument that reflects the movements of the asset underlying it. This allows for any trader to earn a real profit when the underlying asset moves in relation to the position taken. It's also very important to mention that the underlying asset is never owned. Sounds complicated? Not really.
When you want to open a CFD position, all you have to do is decide if the asset (forex, stock, commodity or index) will rise (Buy) or fall (Sell) in price. Add the leverage effect to it, and you will figure out exactly what's so attractive about this form of online trading.
Developing Your CFD Trading PlanAs CFD trading popularity grows more and more amongst Saudi Arabian traders, some of them start to wonder if there is a certain way to properly trade CFDs. Even though this might sound awkward at first, the reality is that you can develop your own CFD trading plan on the go, while paying attention to some key points along the way. This is solely meant to help reduce risk and increase the overall trading experience.
The plan's guidelines are:
- First and foremost, know your method of trading
- Trading timeframes
- Which technical indicators to use
- Reviewing each CFD trade when it's complete
- Setting realistic profit & loss targets
Choosing Your Online CFDs ProviderIf you are a Saudi Arabian trader and you would like to follow the above-mentioned guidelines, there is one specific broker who will accompany you along the way. Focusing exclusively on trader's education, personal trading sessions, dedicated support assistance and cutting-edge technology, Opteck can be the smartest choice. Just by taking a quick tour of Opteck's education center, one can understand the commitment this broker has to the advancement and success of its traders. In addition, the entire site and platform are translated to Arabic, making it so much easier for a trader from Saudi Arabia to trade the global markets with ease.
As one can clearly see, trading CFDs online is something that does require some sort of preparation. Finally, when you eventually make the decision to start trading CFDs, it is highly advisable to do it with a regulated broker that offers a swap-free status with 100% Halal certified Islamic trading account.

How Glofox is Bringing About a Change?
Glofox is a Dublin-based startup that is about to start its US operations with their innovative payment processing and business management platform. So far, the main markets for the company were Ireland and UK and now they are planning for an entry into the world's largest fitness market.
In the initial years they were a web and app design consultancy business and they leapt into the rapidly growing fitness market. The founders sensed an opportunity as they saw a gap in business management software that is integrated with a mobile app.
Resolution of the Problem with the App
The niche target market that Glofox intends to intensify its operations are the gyms with group exercise classes and the boutique fitness studios offering pilates, spinning classes and yoga. The intention was to resolve some issues like processing of payments, hours spent towards bookings and the time required by the customers to book and pay. Glofox became the first to offer a customized mobile app along with a business management software.
In the words of Mr Anthony Kelly, the business development head at Glofox they have seen an increase in sales between 10 to 15 % a month.
The company is in the process of exploration of partnership arrangement in the US and other markets. One of the key milestones achieved by the company is an alliance with Yoga Alliance Professional, which happens to be the largest Yoga industry body based in UK and has over 4500 members.
The advantage of the app from Glofox is that the product is simple to use and a platform that is suitable for the fitness studios, even though it is operating in an extremely competitive market.
Mr Kelly says the long term goal for them is to become a market leader in the fitness studio space. They intend to operate with large sized fitness centres across multiple locations or the larger global chains

In a sense, it's "cool" for a group of people with common goals or ideals to refer to themselves with a label because (perhaps) it makes them feel like part of a "team," or a "club," or whatever. It might even increase their ability or desire to achieve that goal! Human beings are genetically tribal animals.
I often eschew taking sides, joining groups or teams, or labeling myself. I'm not even very fond of the "atheist, theist" labeling system. These aren't two monolithic, "black and white" divisions of people.
If I must label myself, I think an acceptable label would be "clarificationist." That's what I'm always pursuing: clarification.
Have I made myself "clear"?
