The Fascination with Passivation
26. June 2013
Manual and automated passivation systems are available from companies such as Miraclean.
Please allow me to involve you in a little experiment while we share some good technical information. Passivation is an important step in maximizing corrosion resistance of stainless steel parts. This chemical process, which occurs naturally on most stainless steels, covers or "fixes" flaws on the surface. The process, however, can be impaired by contaminants, and additional steps must often be taken to remove microscopic iron particles that have been deposited on the surface during the manufacturing process. If done properly, passivation covers the entire surface of the stainless steel with a protective oxide film, in effect, making it more stainless.
Another interesting fact about passivation is that it is one of the most commonly researched topics on Gardner Business Media's websites. "How to Passivate Stainless Steel Parts," from mmsonline.com, remains the single most highly visited article we've posted. Other articles such as "Passivation of Stainless Steel Parts: The Recipe for Success" and "Determine Passivation of Stainless" continue to see unusually high numbers of visitors as well.
So while I thought this blog post might be interesting to a number of our readers, I'm also curious to see if the topic alone is enough to generate a fair amount of traffic. Thank you for adding to these numbers.

I think Olli and I discussed this before, quite a long time ago. I am inclined to try to implement it now, because it may be as easy as any other way of fixing
MDL-18214, and this is a good idea anyway.
The idea is that we change what you have to do to create a new question. Currently, you have to choose the question type you want from the 'Add question' drop-down, with only the question name to guide you.
- Makes the choice of question type much easier for novice users.
- One extra mouse click for experienced users (and an extra page load if JS is off.)
- The list of question types with a one-sentence description does not fit on one page* (except on big screens) so we will need a scroll-bar. That makes the first problem worse.
I am about to attach a screen-shot. Suggestions for avoiding or minimising the disadvantages welcome.
- the screenshot is 731px high.

Sorry, Olli, I want your advice again. That is the price you pay for being helpful and knowledgeable. However, I do remember you are busy at the moment, so I am not expecting an answer soon.
Anyway, when you have some time, I would be grateful if you could review this. Thanks.
At first glance it looks good, although QuestionMark's model for this was better I think
|Select an item to view its description
|[Description for the item selected on the left column]
| [OK] [Cancel]
This model keeps the list of the labels more easily scannable, making it more easy to find each question, while allowing users to easily view the description of the question type. Also, there is less of a danger of introducing scrolling.
I'll give this a go tomorrow. I tried a scroll bar and it just sucks. I'll have to keep the other version when JavaScript is off, but size is mostly an issue with JavaScript on, when I want to do this in a pop-up to avoid an extra page-load.
I was wondering about making Moodle remember the last question type you created, to save a mouse click when you create a lot of the same type of questions.
Also, I was going to make double-clicking on a choice select it automatically, but I have no idea how to make that discoverable. Perhaps just mention it in a help file.
I do hope you mean an YUI dialog when you say popup.
To clarify, the element on the left is ideally a <select> list. Probably should make sure it's not ctrl-clickable to select multiple items
Some thoughts on this:
1. The Student / Teacher references are a real turn off to non-academic users.
2. Current interface shows all options on screen, scrolling to see them is bad news.
3. Remember last question type. Probably OK if all are visible on mext visit. Suggest 1024 x 768 as lowest target monitor res for testing.
Hi Tim,
Strictly speaking it does work, but in terms of perception it is quite a disaster. It is really hard to scan that list for any keywords - namely question names - since it is so cluttered, mostly since there is no white space or organisation of information to guide the eye.
Also the question name and the description have no space between each other. The least one could do is to add that space and to make the question name bold to at least somehow allow for scanning. I think the prototype you proposed here is much less of a disaster, even if it adds scrollbars. (The scrollbars should be in the dialog, and not in the browser window.)
But ultimately, it seems to me a necessity to not show all the descriptions at once. Even tooltips might be acceptable, but it is impossible to know without testing. The model of clicking the question type name to see the description seems the best. The only way to do this without javascript would be an iframe I guess, and I do not think that is worth it. Perhaps our prototype image's model here, plus an accordion control?
Oh, pardon me it seems that somehow all the code had not refreshed and the version I saw was.. something else. Strange indeed. It looks pretty darn good now, although I am not sure about the double click, since I ended up using it accidentally. That might be because of the clicking-around nature of my usage though
Since you give the visual clue that each selectable element is as wide as the "select box", each selectable element should also be clickable in the entire area that gets highlighted. display:block (for the label element) usually helps for this?
I would also enlarge the description text font to match the normal 1em font size of the browser or the question type name text in the dialog. There are a lot of folks out there with bad eyesight.
Also, you are introducing back the usability issue where teachers cannot find the description type since to access it, you have to "add a question" first. As annoying it might seem, there need to be three buttons at least in the quiz editing screen, the third of which is "add description" and is a shortcut to the add description page, without the new dialog.
I would also visualle separate the description type in the dialog. If nothing else, it should be the first or the last element in the list, and preferably there should be a horizontal separator between it and the other types.
I'll leave double click for now, but keep an eye out for other people getting confused - it's easy to change.
display block on label: done.
Description font size: done.
I decided to try display:none on the radio buttons with JavaScript on - I think it is an improvement.
(By the way, I tried accordion-type UI for the summary, but that was really bad, because the options lower down the list moved vertically, making them very hard to hit if you were scanning down the list.)
Right, so that just leaves the discoverability of Description, which is the most significant issue.
I remember that it was an important usability issue. On the other hand, we were never completely satisfied with the separate button, because we failed to find a good button caption. Add a Description / Label was always a compromise.
Whereas, in the new interface, we have a couple of sentences to explain what a Description is, which makes it much easier for a novice user to understand what this feature is, as they discover it.
I think I agree with you that we do need to move Description to one end of the list. (Drat! I had that implemented, as you can see from the earlier screenshot. Then I thought it was unnecessary, and removed it. Now you have convinced to me put it back.)
Do you agree with my supposition that, once users have discovered the Description 'fake question type', there is not an on-going usability option with having to click an 'Add a question ...' button to create one? It might actually be easier for experienced users to have fewer similar buttons in the UI?
So my hope was, that having Description in the menu, with an explanation, was sufficient to trigger the initial discovery. Especially if it is moved to the top with a divider, which I will do in a moment..
However, I think that to really find this out, we would need more usability tests, which neither of us are really in a position to do right now.
Without the radio buttons the list of types really does not afford clicking, since there is no recognizable UI interaction element - as it is, the list does not look like a select list, either. I would keep the radio buttons.
About the descriptions: I would start each of the description with the name of the selected qtype in bold.
"The answer to each of a number of sub-question must be selected from a list of possibilities."
Is there a typo here or sth since I do not quite understand it?
I would try to avoid having references to other question types in the explanation, they should be self-explanatory. If that makes the explanation longer (two paragraphs instead of one) I do not think it is a disaster to enlarge the box a bit to accommodate that, it is currently quite small.
And if you absolutely must keep references, at least have the questions in the list in a logical order; that is, Numerical just before Calculated, Matching just before RSAM. So I would think a logical order (related types grouped together) would be something like this, possibly further tweaked by how popular each type is expected to be.

Whether we have the popup now or not doesn't really have to do with the original problem that teachers cannot find the description, does it.
Neither does the question of what the question type is labeled, having a button with whatever name we have come up with so far is still better than no button.
And I do not really see a substantial problem for experienced users. It seems to me that keeping the button is clearly supported by testing. And there seems to be room for the button, though that might be language dependent.
The problem with a specific ordering is that question types are plugins. You don't know what will or won't be there.
Isn't it highly unlikely though that the defaults provided in the core would not be there?
If they can be missing, isn't it even more problematic that you refer to possibly nonexistent types and thus, possibly nonexistent explanations?
Anyway, you can still assign them ordinals and then just drop whatever is missing from the list?
Logical order: No better than before this was changed to alpabetical IMO. That order may be logical to you but (for example) with the (disparate) group I've been working with today it wouldn't have any relevance for any of them. Vote to keep alphabetical.
Disparate compared to what? Unless you state the characteristics of the group you're talking about, you are simply stating that you are with a group that you assume would think something about this. Unless you tell us what is the knowledge about the group allows you to assume this, it is impossible for anyone to evaluate the validity of your statement.
My belief that grouping related items would work starts from the assumption that in order to understand what the types are about, it helps to see them as related items; instead of having to separately process to understand 10 types, this would seemingly reduce the load to the about 4 distinct types.
Also, in case of the dropdown I would also also in favor of alphabetical order, since there is no further info available in that case it is the best to allow for quick scanning of the list, and alphabetization may help that. Also, typing the first few letters of an item works best if the list is alphabetized.
Disparate compared to nothing really. Not the group itself but the members of the group. Represented were commercial, government, academic and charitable sectors (and not necessarily stereotypical representation of those sectors).
The intended usage of question and quizzes varied widely. As an example of how the proposed type of grouping is flawed consider the following: the short answer and numerical questions look identical to candidates. Numerical offers some additional options not offered by short answer where a numerical answer is required, in other cases short answer can be used quite satisfactorily. This is a different approach to grouping question types than you have taken. Neither is incorrect.
In my experience MCQs are the most used question type, but in some cases that wont be true. So putting MCQ at the top is wrong for some users. It's impossible to anticipate preferences or user associations. That's why alphabetical is best here.
"Also, typing the first few letters of an item works best if the list is alphabetized."
Well only if this introduced everywhere as the behaviour for drop-downs. Let's not create different behaviour in this area only.
"The intended usage of question and quizzes varied widely.

This is a different approach to grouping question types than you have taken."
I am not proposing that the order I suggested is the optimal one, but simply that it might be good to try to group the types in some order. It does not seem to me that there are an endless number of ways to group the types, and I do not see why you think that we should not try to make the order more logical just because it might not be perfect. There is little penalty from the order not being perfect, but I do think having the types in an order that gives at least some clue of which types have a similar functionality can help learning also the subtle differences between the types.

"In my experience MCQs are the most used question type, but in some cases that wont be true. So putting MCQ at the top is wrong for some users. It's impossible to anticipate preferences or user associations. That's why alphabetical is best here. "
I do not propose a preference in the list for any specific question type. Furthermore, it is not as simple as that first questions in the list are perceived most easily, in the sense of perception the last item is probably just as easily spotted, for example. The point is merely to have a grouping based on similarity of the question types so that it is easy to see what the relationships between different types are.
Your only argument for having the types alphabetized seems to be that since we cannot know what is the good order (which is not true), we should avoid making any decision whatsoever and thus we should pick the order arbitrarily. There is little benefit from alphabetisation in such a short list.
Nevertheless, this is a minor question and I will try to reply to the bigger questions you and Tim have posted in other tracker items before going on with this.
Tim, I guess it is a corner case but how does the new UI behave when the admin has added lots of different question types, say, too many to fit the screen?
"There is little benefit from alphabetisation in such a short list."
That principle isn't applied elsewhere in Moodle.
Having just said that I won't reply before addressing more urgent matters, from the depths of my gripping flu I now scream:
Yes. Thank you. You are right, and I am wrong.
Granted that "all" the other dropdowns in Moodle are alphabetized, we have just found something to include in Moodle HIG (Human Interface Guidelines, one such as http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/ ) so that we need not have this discussion again.
About what happens with lots of qtypes:
On 800x600 there is space for 17 question types, and a default Moodle install has 10. On 1024x768 there is space for 23.
At the moment, what happens when the list gets too long is that the pop-up stops fitting on the screen. Probably we need a max-height and an overflow scroll. However, I am not going to bother for now.
Also, the list was not properly sorted. It was sorted by internal qtype name, not translated name. Just fixed that.
I am rather sympathetic to the idea of a custom ordering of questions. The main reason for not implementing it was laziness, or at least wondering whether there were not more important things to do. The only thing is, how to arrange it so that the ordering copes with arbitrary new plugins? I guess the order needs to be in the database somewhere.
OK, so we can store the order in config_plugins, and potentially make it editable using the new question type management admin page, with a sensible default order.
Olli: Hope you're feeling better soon.
Tim: OK, but did I see elsewhere that you've added an option for admins to customise the order of questions? Don't have time ot search for the issue atm.
Thanks, Ray,
Should just stay in bed while I am sick, it seems. I'll have to take what I said in the previous comment. The alphabetized order in dropdowns has not been shown to have been tested so it does not, as is, fit into a HIG.
Also, I guess there is no example of such lists in popups in Moodle so your previous argument about consistency is not valid. Of course this is a problem in itself - for example, there seems to be no excuse not to change the dropdowns on the course pages into popups, since they suffer similar usability problems of users not knowing the functions of all the different modules/resources. This is too big to go untested, however.

Experience Confidence and Enjoyment in Learning (ExCEL) is individualized counseling designed to help you enjoy your learning opportunities at CSUN. Remember when you were a kid filled with curiosity and a love of learning? Remember when nothing would get in your way of leaning how to ride a bicycle, master a video game or put together a difficult puzzle? We would like to help you rediscover that enthusiasm, curiosity and confidence in learning through ExCEL. Learning does not have to be experienced as a tedious and boring activity. Learn how to enjoy and have more confidence in your learning journey at CSUN.
Why do we offer ExCEL?
Our counselors have found that a significant percentage of college students have a difficult time enjoying their learning opportunities while in college. Many students have experienced "mini" academic traumas before they enter college that reduce their confidence to learn new and difficult material. Enjoyment and confidence in learning are two important variables in achieving academic success. Your confidence and enjoyment in learning can be increased.
Learn about ExCEL
Below are the ways you can find out more information about available ExCEL services at University Counseling Services.
- Call (818) 677-2366, and request an intake for individual counseling with an ExCEL counselor.
- Check the Schedule of Classes posted each semester and consider registering for a RAISE Your GPA class (EDUC 201).
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
College students have varying levels of confidence and enjoyment in their learning. This usually depends on the subject matter and type of assignment. Awareness that you may have experienced lower levels of confidence and enjoyment in certain subject matters or class assignments is the first step towards finding new ways to approach your academics.
Take this short questionnaire as a way to better understand your potential learning roadblocks.
Check your attitude
I believe that even if I put in the effort I will not do well in the class or the assignment.
I blame the teacher when I am not doing well in a class.
I believe I am not a smart person when it comes to school.
I sometimes or often feel I do not belong in college.
I sometimes or often worry that others will view me as "stupid."
I have given up caring about my grades in a class.
I hate going to the class.
Check your behavior
I wait until the last minute to do the homework in the class.
I don't go to class.
I say that I understand the material even when I do not.
I copy someone else's homework.
I give up easily when the schoolwork is too hard.
I give up easily when the schoolwork is too boring.
I make excuses to others as to why I am not doing well in a certain class.
Check your History
I have viewed myself as a poor student for many years.
I have been told for many years that I am a lazy student.
I have not enjoyed going to class for many years.
I view school as primarily a social event.
Thanks for taking the self-assessment questionnaire. How many boxes did you check? If you have checked more than three boxes, it is very likely you would benefit from ExCEL counseling or the RAISE Your GPA class. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
ExCEL Video
Two guidebooks are available to accompany the ExCEL video on building Academic Confidence. Each of the guidebooks contains live links to the video.
REFLECTION GUIDEBOOK FOR STUDENTS – This guidebook can be used by students as a reflection exercise after watching the video.
FACILITATION GUIDEBOOK FOR FACULTY & STAFF – This guidebook can be used by faculty and staff as a teaching tool.
SELFIES VIDEO FACILITATION & REFLECTION GUIDEBOOK - This guidebook can be used by students, faculty, and staff as both a reflection exercise and teaching tool.
Please contact Dr. Mark Stevens at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
RAISE your GPA
EDUC 201: RAISE Your GPA is a course that is offered as collaboration between University Counseling Services (UCS) and the Michael D. Eisner College of Education at CSUN. This one-credit course is designed to help students strengthen learning habits, increase academic self-confidence and motivation as well as the ability to set and achieve goals, with the aim of increasing academic persistence. This course is intended for students who are working to get off academic probation and want to prevent disqualification. Additionally, this course will introduce students to the CSUN resources and programs available to support academic success. The course learning objectives will be accomplished with the use of proven learning principles, self-assessments, interactive exercises, hands on practice and weekly writing assignments.
- Multiple sections of this course are offered every fall and spring semester and are taught by UCS counselors. No permission number is needed to register. Talk to your academic advisor about whether this might be a good course for you!

The Ferris Collection of Prints
The Museum's Graphic Arts Collection, the oldest print-collecting unit in the Smithsonian, focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking to document how prints are made and used. Smithsonian art museums collect works on paper selected for aesthetic reasons, but the National Museum of American History (formerly the Museum of History and Technology) takes a broad view of visual culture.
Our prints illustrate technical developments and cultural changes. They represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society. The collection has always included examples from many periods and countries, fine-art prints as well as popular and commercial graphic art, together with the plates, blocks, and tools used to produce prints. In 1996 the Museum presented an exhibition on 150 years of Smithsonian print collecting, Building a National Collection.
One of the largest print collections ever received by the Smithsonian was donated by the Ferris family between 1927 and 1932. Stephen James Ferris (1835–1915), a Philadelphia painter and etcher, collected over 2,000 European and American prints, both reproductive and original, representing old master and contemporary printmakers. The collection incorporated a variety of artistic subjects, compositions, and styles. Ferris may well have mined it for inspiration for his own work, but he was also deeply interested in art for its own sake. He and his family and friends would have simply enjoyed studying the images.

Portrait of Samuel P. Avery
- Description
- Samuel Putnam Avery (1818–1904), a New York-based art dealer and print collector, made annual buying excursions to Europe from 1867 to 1882 to look for decorative arts and paintings, some of which he commissioned directly from the artists. He also searched for prints to add to his own collection, seeking not just the original etchings valued today but also reproductive works by artists like Flameng, Jacquemart, and Rajon. French prints made up the core of his collection, almost 18,000 of which are now in the New York Public Library. Léopold Flameng etched this portrait of Avery in 1876 after a painting by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta. The Avery family gave the painting to the Metropolitan Museum in 1904. Madrazo (1841–1920) was a fashionable portrait and genre painter, resident in New York and Paris, who was promoted by Avery.

A Rabbi
- Description
- This etching by Léopold Flameng is known as either Un Rabbin or Un Vieux (An Old Man). The painting by Rembrandt hangs in the Musée Bonat, Bayonne, France. The print was etched for the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, a publication started in Paris by Charles Blanc in 1859, which ceased only recently. Flameng had met Blanc in the studio of a well-known engraver, Luigi Calamatta, and became one of two graphic artists on the new publication. He etched no fewer than 100 plates for the Gazette and some forty plates for Blanc's book on Rembrandt's work, published in 1859. Flameng's etchings after Rembrandt were highly regarded by collectors in this period.

AirMouse - 0.5
enderskill (enderskill)
To run AirMouse, you must have installed: VideoCapture - http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/ PIL - http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ Pygame - http://www.pygame.com/ Any USB Webcam or Video Input Device To use: Connect the webcam, start the program, then move a white emmisive object (such as a flashlight) in front of the camera. TO STOP THE APPLICATION, PRESS Esc. Procedure: For every frame that the camera records, AirMouse reads every pixel like a book (left to right and up to down). If a pixel is brighter than the threshold variable defined in the script, that pixel relative to the frame defines the cursor on the computer monitor. Bugs: AirMouse is choppy. Reading 76,800 pixels every 15th of a second is hard! When you move slowly down the screen, you eventually get a value error. This is an error in my pixel algorithm. I have not had much time to correct it.

Did You Know? Countdown to Earth Day (04/17)
Did You Know?
Facts & Figures about
Celebrating and
Saving Mother Earth
April 17 : 05 days till Earth Day
Did you know that Americans recycle 53.4% of the paper products we consume?
Even still, Americans throw away an average of 600 pounds of paper per person every year. Recycling just one four foot stack of newspapers is enough to save one 40-foot fir tree.
Did you know that if everyone on Planet Earth lived the way Americans do, we would need 5.3 planets to sustain ourselves?
Americans comprise just 5% of the Earth's population, but we produce over 40% of the world's waste. Do you know what your carbon footprint is? Take the Ecological Footprint Quiz to find out.
Earth Day is a day to both celebrate the environmental victories of the past and to reflect on the many remaining opportunities for improvement. Whether you celebrate Earth Day by attending a rally, signing a petition or switching to highly efficient light bulbs, make an effort to be mindful of the original vision for this day: to serve as a national learn-in for the sake of the environment.
Join our Earth Day celebration as we present a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Earth Day on April 22nd!

What's cooking in Baltimore? From sushi to Thai food to homemade pasta, pretty much every cuisine under the sun. Lucky for us, Charm City is blessed with an array of classes for fledgling cooks and experts alike.
People are heading home to the range for a couple of reasons. "The meteoric rise of the Food Network helped fuel foodie awareness and enthusiasm," says Jay Blotcher, a media specialist for the Culinary Institute of America in New York, a leading training ground for chefs.
But 9/11 was a factor, too, even today. "We've had a seismic shift," Blotcher says. "It really did shake us up to the point where people want the security of home-cooked meals again. People want to get back to basics."
With that in mind, we went in search of the best cooking programs in the Baltimore area. And we found a veritable smorgasbord of classes, sure to bring out the inner chef in everyone. Ready . . . set . . . cook!
Note: This version of the story contains classes and recipes that did not appear in print.
Chef's Expressions at the Gramercy Mansion
1400 Greenspring Valley Rd., Stevenson, 410-561-2433
The classes, taught by chefs Jerry Edwards and John Walsh, are dinner theater and culinary lesson all in one. "This class is more of an observation class," says Edwards, who runs cooking demonstrations as a companion to his successful catering company, Chef's Expressions. "The idea is to get people excited, to give them a good meal and good drinks. We are there to entertain, and while they may learn things along the way, we are not there to turn them into chefs—we don't need the competition." Occasionally, however, the duo competes with one another. "We are culinary soul mates," cracks Edwards. "John likes to say, 'Never trust a skinny chef.' I like to say, 'You are only as good as your last meal.' And both of us have total joie de vivre."
CUISINE: A variety of classes, including Middle Eastern-inspired dishes and homemade pasta. DETAILS: Classes are held from 6-8 p.m. about six times a year; upcoming classes include "Poulet and Poisson," "Celebrate the Pig," "Hearty Pasta & Soups." Single classes: $60 (including wine pairings); three classes, $160; six classes, $300. Participants receive a take-home recipe book. Capacity for up to 60 people. INSTRUCTOR: Jerry Edwards and French-born chef John Walsh. COOKING TIP: "The recipe is only half the story," says Edwards. "Technique is the key. How hot was the pan? How long did it sear? How whipped are the eggs?" FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "Being able to cook is a natural-born talent," believes Edwards. "Just as a musician can hear the music without playing, I can taste a dish just by looking at it."
Cooking at Pierpoint with Nancy Longo
1822 Aliceanna St., 410-675-2080
With her classes at Pierpoint Restaurant, Nancy Longo's mission is to take the fear factor out of the kitchen. "I've had some people tell me they've taken classes with the 'Frenchies' and been screamed at the entire time," says Longo, who started her classes in 1990 and has more than 500 students a year. Though her classes are more laid-back in style, they're also reminiscent of what you might find in a professional culinary institute. "I teach technique," she says. "If I'm teaching a fish class, for instance, I teach how to gut and debone a fish. We're not just making pâté. You don't come to my class to make something cute in one hour."
CUISINE: Indian, Southwestern, barbecue, modern American, sauces, holiday cooking, vegetarian, gluten free, and classes for kids.DETAILS: $75 ($65 in advance); discounts for taking more than three classes and for students. Includes a group meal with wine and beer; classes capped at 10 and last up to three hours. INSTRUCTOR: Nancy Longo, a James Beard nominee and a graduate of Baltimore International College. COOKING TIP: "If someone has written a book, and they are a credible author, follow the directions," Longo says. "Don't just add soy sauce to a dish. You have to be an anthropologist and understand borrowed cuisines and spices that go together." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "The most surprising thing about teaching?" she says. "I've had 8-year-olds in my class who knew the history of garam masala and how to make hollandaise. We can thank the Food Network for that."
5850 Waterloo Rd., Columbia, 410-465-2399
"Ten years ago, I started cooking classes thinking I was going to write a cookbook," says Donna Crivello of Donna's. "When I was still in the space at The Baltimore Museum of Art [now home to Gertrude's], I was talking to a publisher about recipes for home cooks, and there was interest, but I never had a deadline, so it never got done." Having so many tried-and-true recipes in her repertoire prompted Crivello to start teaching. "People take classes for a variety of reason," she says. "Some people go home and try to cook what I've shown them or modify what they've seen. For others, they're just happy to get out and socialize."
CUISINE: Single-session demonstration classes on soups, pies and tarts, holiday dishes, salads, dressings, and vegetarian dishes. DETAILS: $50, includes samples of the recipes that are prepared, wine, and take-home recipes; most Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. INSTRUCTOR: Former Sun food stylist turned eponymous restaurateur Donna Crivello. COOKING TIP: "You don't need to have tons of equipment or special ingredients to be a good cook," Crivello says. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "My goal is to help everyone learn to cook without a recipe and without having to run to the store for every ingredient," she says.
For the Love of Food
20 Clarks Ln., Reisterstown, 443-865-0630
Diane Bukatman has an impressive culinary resume that includes an apprenticeship at the famed Le Cirque restaurant and teaching gigs at the New York Restaurant School and French Culinary Institute. But after years of teaching for others, Bukatman decided to start her own cooking school. "I love sharing a passion for food," says Bukatman. "But I didn't want to teach in a place where I had to administer tests." Twelve years ago, she founded For the Love of Food, a culinary school she runs out of two professional kitchens in her Reisterstown home. She likes the challenge. "To teach cooking, you have to be part cooking teacher, part actress, and part stand-up comedian," she says.
CUISINE: The focus is on promoting kitchen confidence through technique and the how's and why's of cooking; other classes offered include Thai cooking, sushi, pasta, and knife skills. DETAILS: "How to Think Like a Chef," a six-class series costs $425; some classes are single sessions; a meal is included; BYOB; some equipment used is available for purchase. INSTRUCTOR: Diane Bukatman. COOKING TIP: "Never cook when you're in a rush and love what you're doing," she says. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "For me, when I'm cooking, something opens up," she says. "When I'm having a hard time breathing, and I'm cooking, it's like, 'I'm there now.'"
Roland Park Country School, 5204 Roland Ave., 410-323-5500
Culinary classes at Roland Park Country School's Kaleidescope give students an opportunity to whip up delicious dishes and also bond over food. Recently, after a popular Thai cooking class ended, the class convened at Thai Arroy with teacher Ang Robinson. "They all had fun and made new friends," says Judy Comotto, director of external programs at Roland Park Country School. "People are looking for ways to make connections with other people—to share their culinary and often their life experiences."
CUISINE: Single-session and multi-session cooking classes on topics from gluten-free cooking and Thai cooking to Ayurvedic healing Indian cuisine and appetizers for entertaining. DETAILS: Varies according to class. INSTRUCTORS: Teachers include nationally known writer Jules Shepard (gluten-free cooking), area caterer Kerry Dunnington, and Thai cooking teacher Ang Robinson. COOKING TIP: "[The key] is having a curiosity and willingness to learn and explore new foods and cuisines and make it your own somehow," Robinson says. "It's limitless." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "These classes are only going to grow," says Comotto. "The baby boomers want cooking classes. They are not going to rock into old age the way that generation before did."
RA Sushi
1390 Lancaster St., 410-522-3200
A class at RA Sushi features a sushi lesson and a history lesson (no pun intended) rolled into one. "We include a brief history of sushi so students understand the tradition," says restaurant manager Andy Gaynor. While students learn assembling tips and tricks, Gaynor and sushi chef Aldon Blackwood allow plenty of latitude for mistakes. "Everyone messes up their first roll," says Gaynor, laughing, "The main goal is to keep it light and have a good time."
CUISINE: Participants learn sushi basics, including how to make shrimp and salmon nigiri, California rolls, and "tootsy maki," a RA specialty. DETAILS: $32 per person/$60 per couple; take-home sushi mat included; classes offered once or twice a month and capped at 18 to 20 students. INSTRUCTORS: Former sushi chef Andy Gaynor and chef Aldon Blackwood. COOKING TIP: "Cooking the rice correctly is key," says Gaynor. "You don't want it to be too mushy or too hard, and the timing is crucial." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "The sky is the limit with sushi," he says. "That's what makes it so much fun."
Rev. Oreste Pandola Adult Learning Center
914 Stiles St., 410-866-8494
In 1996, the late Rev. Oreste Pandola came up with a recipe for revitalizing a downtrodden corner of his Little Italy community. "There was a school around the corner from St. Leo's parish that had closed, and it was wasting away," explains Rosalie Ranieri, principal of the Rev. Oreste Pandola Adult Learning Center. "At the same time, the Reverend saw senior residents with idle time. He decided to open an adult learning center." Pandola passed away a year after the school opened in 1997. The center named in his honor is now host to hundreds of local residents who enroll in a variety of classes, including painting and Italian language. But the cooking classes tend to draw the biggest crowds. "My challenge is to empty the building every night," Ranieri says. "No one ever wants to leave."
CUISINE: Italian; includes learning how to make mozzarella, ravioli, gnocchi, sauces, breads, sausages, Easter treats, and Limoncello. DETAILS: Average class cost is $10; the next session of classes begins March 8. INSTRUCTOR: Various instructors, most of whom are Italian home cooks in Little Italy. COOKING TIP: "When it comes to cooking, just follow your instincts," says Joe Platerote, who teaches a pasta course. "There is no one way to cook." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "The interest in cooking classes is part of a return to people's culture and their roots," Ranieri says. "They want to make recipes that their mothers and grandparents made."
Waterfront Kitchen
1417 Thames St., 443-681-5310
Long before Jerry Pellegrino became the consulting chef at the new Waterfront Kitchen and host of WYPR's Radio Kitchen, he was enrolled in a molecular genetics Ph.D. program at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "I never finished my thesis," he says, "but I always enjoyed the teaching." Pellegrino, a lifelong foodie, went on to teach cooking basics at Federal Hill's defunct A Cook's Table before offering a cooking program at the now closed Corks—his Federal Hill mainstay for almost 15 years—and now at Waterfront Kitchen.
CUISINE: Classes include pasta-making, knife skills, how to make chili, and pairing food with wine. DETAILS: The classes are $59 and held in Waterfront Kitchen's state-of-the-art kitchen. INSTRUCTOR: Chef Jerry Pellegrino. COOKING TIP: "Cooking is mostly practice," he says. "Jacques Pépin has this famous quote. When asked, 'Why do you make the best prime rib?' he says, 'Because I have prepared so many of them in the past.'" FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "I went into this business for the instant gratification," he says. "As a scientist, it can take years to prove something. When I cook, people tell me they like it right away. I like the pat on the back."
Whole Foods Culinary Center
200 Harker Pl., Suite 100, Annapolis, 410-224-2042
"Our kitchen is laid-back," says culinary specialist Frances Vavloukis, who teaches at the cooking school. "It's not all stainless steel. It's meant to be inviting and is designed to feel like you are coming to my house for dinner."
CUISINE: Gluten-free cooking, date-night cooking class, "Chefs in the Kitchen" summer camp, Greek pastries, knife skills, Mediterranean cooking, and surf and turf. DETAILS: About 12 single-session and multi-session classes are offered each month, including hands-on and demonstration classes and lectures; demo classes, $30-35 for a single session; hands-on class, $50-65 for single session (includes a meal). INSTRUCTORS: Frances Vavloukis, a Philadelphia Restaurant School graduate and personal trainer, teaches the majority of classes; some classes taught by Whole Foods staffers and area experts, including food photo stylist Rita Calvert and Culinary Institute of America graduate Robert Chaisson. Guest chefs have included Hell's Kitchen winner chef Rock Harper and Food Network's The Next Food Network Star finalist Tom Pizzica. COOKING TIP: "The key to being a good cook is not to stress about it and to practice," says Vavloukis. "The more you do it, the easier it becomes." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "For me, cooking is a high," says Vavloukis. "In the way that some people like to paint, I like to create using herbs and spices."
The Dogwood Restaurant
911 W. 36th St., 410-889-0952
In response to repeated requests from diners, chef Galen Sampson started cooking classes at The Dogwood Restaurant two years ago. "We speak with our guests pretty regularly," says Sampson, "and in talking to them, they all wanted to know when we were going to start a class, so we did." Sampson, a former electrical engineer who also runs a cooking apprenticeship program for his staff, hopes to share his enthusiasm for his trade. "I had no passion for what I was doing as an engineer," he says. "When I was growing up, everything revolved around the table, and my parents were the first generation to leave the farm. With my classes, my goal is for people to get an idea of how to put flavors together, to understand why things don't work out, and to have a good time. We try to make it fun and festive."
CUISINE: Classes are offered quarterly and include demonstrations and some hands-on cooking. In the past, they have focused on Indian, Asian, low-country, holiday cooking, and "Cooking with the Seasons," including grilling and outdoor smoking. DETAILS: $78 per person (including tax and gratuity) includes wine; classes are held the second Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. INSTRUCTOR: Galen Sampson, whose culinary bragging rights include stints at Utah's five-star Stein Eriksen Lodge, Virginia's famed Homestead, and Baltimore's Harbor Court Hotel. COOKING TIP: "Commit to using fresh products and, whenever possible, shop at the farmers' markets," says Sampson. "Cook in the season. Don't buy strawberries in February." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "Cooking is an art form that everyone can do," he says. "You can create things for other people, make them smile, and feel good with your hospitality."
Germano's Trattoria
300 S. High St., 410-752-4515
Eight years ago, Germano's Trattoria hosted school children from Fort Garrison Elementary School in Stevenson for the restaurant's first-ever pasta-making demonstration for kids. The field trip was such a hit, owner Germano Fabiani decided to make it a regular ritual. "The kids love to throw flour at each other," he says. "We don't advertise, but we must be successful because after all these years, the buses keep coming."
CUISINE: Italian; pasta-making demonstrations primarily geared toward kids. DETAILS: $17.95 per person for lunch, gelato, and demonstration; by appointment only. INSTRUCTOR: Italian-born Germano Fabiani. COOKING TIP: "Making pasta couldn't be simpler," he says. "You add equal amounts of eggs and flour and maybe a touch of salt." FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "The demonstrations are all hands on," he says. "We help the kids get messy, and they learn that cooking is fun."
Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant
720 B Aliceanna St., 410-659-0099
Patrick "Opie" Crooks's first cooking demonstration at Roy's in Jacksonville Beach, FL, was a bit incendiary. "Everyone makes mistakes, especially in front of a crowd," he says. "On my first day on the job, the other chef didn't feel like doing a demonstration. He said, 'You do it.' I was cooking lobster pot stickers on a camping stove, and, the next thing I knew, I lit the tablecloth on fire." He's learned a lot since then. These days, Crooks cooks in Baltimore for everyone from actor Mario Lopez (who was in town to promote his TV show Extra) to former Orioles Rick Dempsey. In addition to doing demonstrations, his goal is to demystify Hawaiian fusion fare. "The purpose is to get the guests involved," Crooks says. "I want them to learn what curry paste is. I want them to learn what lemongrass is, and I don't want them to be intimidated by our cuisine."
CUISINE: Hawaiian-fusion inspired demonstrations of various Roy's menu items as well as special-request dishes; past classes have included Parmesan-encrusted mahi mahi with blue-crab bisque, smoked salmon ravioli, and vanilla-bean crème brûlée. DETAILS: $55 per person (including multicourse meal) for up to 50 people; classes held monthly. INSTRUCTOR: Patrick "Opie" Crooks, a young Ron Howard look-alike who attended the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Atlanta. COOKING TIP: "The balance of salt, pepper, and acid are the key to good cooking," Crooks says. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "Cooking is fun," he says, "and that's what we are trying to demonstrate with this class."

In case you missed it…
Sometime between 2 and 3 in the morning, I had decided to spare everyone another (potentially) 10 hours of needless unpleasantness, and end my swim. I was just waiting for the right time; a convenient excuse. If Mark or Cathy or Rob or Dave had said at some point that night, "Evan, it's pretty rough out here. Maybe you want to get on the boat and go home?", I can't say I'd have insisted on continuing.
It's a testament to the loyalty and intestinal fortitude of my crew and observer that I never got that chance. Three hours later, I was still swimming.
At 5:30am, we were halfway across the channel – 8.3 nautical (9.6 statute) miles to go. At 5:45, the first hint of grey appeared on the horizon: nautical twilight. And it changed everything.
As any Catalina swimmer knows: The dark thoughts, the "witches," are inseparable from the literal darkness of the night. Even the slightest hint of light changes everything. Instead of resolving to quit, I resolved to grind it out – however long it took. Instead of feeling that the Channel was punishing me, it now seemed that the Channel was testing me.
If you want this, you're gonna have to work for it.
It was a test – and it had nothing to do with time or records. It was about confronting the darkness and vastness of the ocean, my own physical vulnerability and mental weakness – and finding a way to the other side.
When the sun rose on September 15th, I was more than halfway across the channel, and – despite all – still on pace to break Ned's record (10 hours, 27 minutes). At that moment, I honestly couldn't care less about the record.
Cathy replaced Mark in the kayak. It had been a stressful, physically demanding night for Mark, but he handled it like the Olympian he is. I think he felt responsible for keeping his old friend safe in a situation that often seemed anything but. He commented a few days later to Presidio Sports:
It was a humbling admission when I eventually told Evan that I needed to go rest on the boat, and it's a true testament to his determination and conditioning that he didn't quit along with me.
Everyone from the boat captain to Evan and definitely everyone in between hoped that the conditions would get just a little worse, so we'd have a good excuse to stop. Unfortunately, the conditions were just barely good enough for us to keep trudging along.
After the sun rose, the filming kicked into gear again. I occasionally noticed Ben – decked out in full Frogman attire – cruise past me underwater with his GoPro. It was startling at first, but actually kind of fun. I can't wait to see the footage. A preview frame:
Cathy paddled for the next three hours, until around 9am. A more patient, nurturing presence… and a comforting change of pace from Mark's more verbal, taskmaster style (he is, after all, a swim coach – and a very good one).
At 9am I had about 2.5 nautical miles remaining – less than an hour and a half of swimming at my current pace. Cathy sensed I had hit another rough patch, and she was right. My shoulders throbbed painfully, and I was resorting to increasingly long stretches of backstroke. It was clear now I would finish the swim, but the record was in the balance.
Cathy and Rob made the call to wake up Mark and put him back in the kayak. His Olympian strength, his ability to motivate, was now needed.
Evan, we're less than three miles out. You're still under record pace, but there's a good chance, if you pick it up, that you can break 10 hours. The choice is yours.
Those were Mark's words shortly after he re-joined me. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Almost simultaneously, the wind shifted… the chop settled down… and the swells were at my back. For the first time on this swim, the ocean let me find a rhythm. There was nothing left in my shoulders… but at the same time, there was nothing left to lose. I could see the beach.
9 hours, 47 minutes, 39 seconds after pushing off a vaguely menacing rock near San Pedro Point, my feet found dry sand on the shores of Oxnard.
I collapsed. Not because I lost consciousness, but because the weight of the past 10 hours was just a little too much to bear standing up.
The sun was high in a cloudless sky. A nice day at the beach.
What just happened.
I still am not quite sure.

Stowaway's father says son missed Africa
HONOLULU — The father of a teenager who survived a flight from California to Hawaii tucked in a jetliner's wheel well has told Voice of America his son missed Africa, where he used to live, and was struggling in school.
Voice of America reported Wednesday that Abdilahi Yusuf Abdi of Santa Clara, Calif., said his 15-year-old son was always talking about going back to Africa, where his grandparents live.
A school official says the boy came to the U.S. four years ago.
Law enforcement officials say the boy climbed into the wheel well before the plane took off for Maui on Sunday morning. Officials say video shows the boy jumping out of the plane after landing.
Abdi told VOA that Honolulu police notified him Sunday of his son's journey. The teen remains hospitalized in Honolulu.

Skip to comments.Iran Former Pres. Khatami Continues Deceptive Presentation
Posted on 03/25/2007 2:48:09 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe
DELHI - The head of Iran's Association of Combatant Clerics, Mohammad Khatami, continued Tehran's campaign of deception by visiting Delhi to attend the conference given by the Institute of India. Khatami is the real leader of Iran's foreign policy. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, though he is President, is not a cleric. Clerics have been leading Iran's foreign policy since the Islamic revolution in Iran, 1979, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. The Council of Guardians, the power behind Iran's government, has permitted a non-cleric to be head of state because they know that before Ahmadinejad's terms end in 2009 the Jihad would have run its course and it will be easier for Iran to make the transition from war to peace with a non-cleric as President.
In the meantime Mohammad Khatami is to continue to perform his role of deceiver, by posing as a moderate. To lead and present the deception the Council found someone photogenic and who smiles a lot. No one can out beam Khatami, except perhaps professional actors, he can turn it off and on like a light, but occasionally, if you watch him closely, flashes of his hatred of the West and India come through. Those are the two main targets of Iran's war effort, the West, Iran's main rival for economic prominence and India as Tehran's way of supporting Pakistan and the people of Kashmir in order to control India's economic future. The India of today under Iran's control tomorrow. The Council basically told Khatami, fool people for as long as you can, but when Iran's foreign policy becomes more obvious your real character will be revealed.
Tehran wants to see if they can repeat Persia's successful invasion of India in the early 18th century. What is now Pakistan was part of Persia then and it was during the invasion Tehran looted a lot of gems, which it added to its collection left over from the first Persian Empire. The collection is part of the Iranian State Treasury housed in the vault of Iran's Central Bank, whose website is linked to Crossfire War. You can view some of the collection by clicking the site's link. Of course, not the entire state treasury has been seen by outsiders, not even by the House of Boucheron, which helped Tehran arrange some of the collection for viewing. The gems are one of the sources of financing for Tehran's foreign policy.
Islamabad has never had this kind of financial support before so of course they are going to take advantage of it, but before the war against India becomes allout the deception campaign continues. Khatami beamed at Delhi when he attended India's Republic Day ceremonies in January 2005. He beamed at the UN when he attended the September 2000 opening in which he spoke and proclaimed 2001 as the year of the dialogue. It was after Iran's 2005 Presidential election that August; Khatami was appointed Head of the Association of Combatant Cleric, as announced on crossfirewar.com, Aug. 8, 2005.
On Nov. 15, that same year, crossfirewar.com reported his passing through Vienna as a continuation of his Dialogue between Civilizations tour. Khatami's theme was "Annihilation", supposedly of weapons of mass destruction, but if he had spoken more candidly he would have said instead annihilation of Vienna and the UN International Atomic Energy Agency based there investigating Iran's nuclear weapons program. Recently Khatami attended the world's leadership conference at Davos, Switzerland, still trying the give the world's decision makers the impression that the issue of Iran's weapons program could be solved peacefully and that relations with the Islamic world as a whole can always be one of mutual cooperation and benefit. Of course in the state of mind behind the beaming he wants to see Switzerland's economic decisions controlled by Iranian banks, Bank Melli for instance, they've had an office in Paris, Avenue Montaigne for nearly a century. One of their bank officers, Albert Hakim, testified 20 years ago in Washington during the Reagan Adminstration's Iran-Contra Scandal, instituting the selling of Washington's foreign policy to Tehran.
So now Khatami is continuing his deceptive presentation in the Jihad's other main target, India. Unfortunately a lot of India's leaderships seems to have fallen for him and don't realize the energy pipeline project from Iran to India, passing through Pakistan, is not really a pipeline of peace, as described last year by Iran Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, but a pipeline of deception.
" The India of today under Iran's control tomorrow. "
Thats real strong stuff whatever the author is smoking.
The desperate conditions in the province are described in the attached editorial from the Kashmiri publication KashmirObserver.com Though Kashmir has often been described as a Paradise on Earth it is deficient in every basic food stable needed to sustain a population: milk, poultry, vegetables.
Lets hear it once again form the leftist media (not the first time we are hearing such BS).
And lets hear it again from our pro-Pak FRiend Tailgunner.................
Much as I wouldn't like to give piffle nobodies like this 'journalist/anal-yst' any importance at all, BS like this could do great damage if it goes unchallenged long enough.
And from the same source:
"Outgoing American Ambassador Ryan C Crocker believes Pakistan will become a regional leader in the years to come, and the current close relationship between the two countries will endure."
Thats a load of crock, your excellency Mr. Crocker.
Our US relationship with Pakistan recently took a step backward. ...an agreement that will not likely be renewed or something like that, IIRC. It could go away in a day. Neither you (GK) nor TJ are really much in favor of keeping Nixon's foolish, old money thing going with Pakistan, IMO. Pakistan has too much going on with Russia and China, and the Pakis aren't even serious enough about cracking down on Taliban spawning activities there. Even the mushy, gooey Brits are breaking it off with Pakistan due to many recent incidents.
"You support Pakistan's energy deals with Iran Gengis,"
Wrong. I support INDIA's energy deal, not Pakistan. If you think your serving my own country's interests.............. well so am I. Too bad you dont like the deal.......but who cares.

Wonder where you stand,by supporting the Pakis who pass on all their new American toys for uncle Mao to inspect & later use against the US??
India under Iran's control-well maybe to the same extent as the US is under the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Atleast India still doesn't build or export M1Abrams & F-15s to the Slammies.
No, India will just be paying for Pakistan's arms purchases from Red China with billions in gas pipeline transit fees.
America's military aid insures that the Pakis get a few more (billion) USD to buy Chinese hardware.
Another point to ponder-US military aid is a reality.Happening since 9/11.OTOH,this India-Iran pipeline is nowhere near getting off the ground,let alone start pumping.India's leaders can be idiots,but they are not suicidal.If anything,they are barking about this pipeline to keep their rivals down & to get a better deal from Uncle Sam on the '123' N-agreement.
Since you are the one who posted this article I would like to ask, do you agree with the authors comment:
"The reason, unfortunately, for Islamabad's eager and desperate acceptance of Tehran's massive military assistance is not only due to the depressed conditions in Jammu-Kashmir as a result of Delhi's oppressive control over the disputed province........ "
An article written by an jerk who doesn't know his lefthand from his right & suffering from selective amnesia.
Iran and Pakistan signed a pricing agreement on January 25 when they decided that the landed price for gas at the Iran-Pakistan border would be $4.93 per mBtu. Now for India to get the gas, it would have to sign a separate deal with Pakistan on the transit fees which would add to the price that India would have to pay. The additional fees would include transit fees to the tune of $800 million and another $100 million to the Pakistan army to guard the pipeline. After the price discount, Iran would still earn $9.5 billion in revenue annually. India will pay $5.768 billion annually to buy 90 million standard cu m per day of gas. India would also pay $1.5 per mBtu both for piping gas through Pakistan and as transit fee to Islamabad. - LINKShow that to your friends, and explain to them why you want to give Pakistan that money and why you think it's a good idea!
Honsetly, I really don't care about Kashmir. It has nothing to do with the United States.
"You have already said you support the pipeline whether Balochistan is free or not."
All I said was if India thinks it needs to go ahead with the pipleine deal then it should go ahead with it. Its India decision to make and India doesn't need anybody's advise.
Do you comprehend simple English?
Usted quisiera que lo dijera en español?
I am fine with whatever decision India take. I already told you the best alternative in my opinion (free Balochistan which you dont support).
You accuse me of wanting to have my own people slaughtered, why? Because I (in your mistaken opinion support paying the Pakis for the oil deal). By that line one logic all of AMERICA (including YOU since you already support Pakistan on the mistaken assumption that it apparently serve your country's interests) is already guilty of funding the Pakis with weapons and $$$. So by that line of thinking you are much more (then me) guilty of slaughtering of Indians.
You need meds Bub.
You calling me anti-Indian is much like an non-American calling you anti-American. Moreover you are a self-confessed Pak supporter and you are accusing an Indian of being anti-Indian. You have no idea how funny it sounds.
That's a lie. You have supported this deal with Pakistan and Iran from the beginning. Just to prove you are a liar, I will post your statements.
"Voting against Iran (India's only ally in the Islamic world) will virtually seal the fate of the multi-billion dollar oil and gas deal with Iran. India has already lost out to China on Central Asian oil and gas contracts. Loosing out on Iranian oil will put India in a real tight spot." - 6 posted on 01/26/2006 2:02:37 AM CST by Gengis Khan
By that line one logic all of AMERICA is already guilty of funding the Pakis with weapons and $$$.
That is exactly YOUR logic Gengis. I am the one applying it to you. I don't believe America is guilty of that at all. You do. I am simply applying your own standard to you.
I do not support Pakistan. That is just a lie you tell to smear me, because it's easier than trying to defend your indefensible pro-Pakistan and Pro-Iran position.
My position on Pakistan is this:
1. I support President Bush's policy of coercing Pakistan into helping us against the Taliban.
2. I do not support the overthrow of Musharraf unless it is accompanied by a full-scale military occupation of Pakistan by the US or India. To simply support a coup against Musharraf would be to support the very islamic theocrats who want him dead to stop him from cooperating with the US against the Taliban. You want the theocrats to win, and I don't.
You already know all this, but since you falsely accuse me, then I am compelled to publicly set the record straight. These positions are shared by most FReepers. You call me a terrorist supporter because you think anyone who supports President Bush supports terrorism against India. That is an anti-American lie. You are the one who supports terrorists and want them to succeed in assassinating Musharraf.
By the way Gengis, are you still in America? While you are here, be sure to tell Americans about your support for Iran and your idea that India should try to intimidate the US by supporting Iran and helping them kill our soldiers in Iraq. That is, unless you are too much of a coward to admit to Americans face-to-face where you really stand.
I didn't "endorse" anything. If I was pro-Pakistan I would care alot about Kashmir and I would demand India withdraw form Kashmir. But I'm not. India's seizure of Kashmir from Pakistan does not concern me. It is a conflict between India and Pakistan which has nothing to do with the USA or our strategic interests. Maybe if India would go ahead and invade and conquer the rest of their lost Pakistani lands, then Indians like you would have less to bitch about and blame America for.
Can you give me a 101 on what is Iran's foreign policy towards the Kashmir dispute ? and its relations with Pakistan ? How do they see India/Pak ?
Not many people know that Iran supports a small terrorist group (all Shia women suicide bombers, not very active) called "Duktaran-e-Millat" (Daughters of the nation) in Kashmir.
During Narasimha Rao's tenure the OIC was about to pass a resolution to pressure India into accepting a UN sponsored plebiscite in Kashmir. The resolution was introduced by Benazir Bhutto and Pakistan had the backing of almost all the Muslim countries with a few deciding to abstain (it should not be forgotten that the resolution also the tacit approval of the US). For the resolution to be passed it needed not only the approval of most of the members but also no members should oppose the resolution. At India's request Iran was the only country that vetoed against the resolution.
With Pakistan, Iran's relation has been both hot and cold. Iran is Shia and Pakistan is Sunni. During Taliban rule over Afghanistan Iran and Pakistan were directly poised against each other. In fact Iran, India and Russia were supporting the Northern Alliance. Even today Indian supplies are routed via Iran rather than over Pakistan. Iran is basically maintaining a balance in its relationship between India and Pakistan, on one hand they have the nuclear cooperation with Pakistan and on the other hand they desperately would like to get Indian support. Iran is in danger of being isolated internationally (just like Iraq under Saddam). Indian support is their big ticket to not only end their isolation but also assume some amount of global importance. India being the only democratic country in the region, Indian approval of the Iranian regime gives them legitimacy that they can flaunt internationally. India is also their nearest and biggest market for oil. With Indian economic growth, India's oil consumption will likely increase many fold. Our nearest source of oil is Iran (central Asian oil has been lost to China and Iraq is nowhere near stability). Whatever our relation with US and Israel, Iranian oil seems to be indispensable for India's future economic growth.

Men of the Year
Rihanna: Obsession of the Year
In 2012, men straight lost their minds over this woman—Chris Brown's crazy neck tattoo, Brown and Drake's nightclub riot. She drove the rest of us wild, too. And that was all before Rihanna dropped the sexiest, most outrageous album of the year
At nine fifteen, Rihanna's black Escalade pulls up in front of Emilio's Ballato, Andy Warhol's Nolita Italian restaurant of choice, a circus in tow. Her army of bodyguards surveys the scene. Then one of Rihanna's long legs hits the pavement and it's madness. There are paparazzi everywhere, all at once, perching on bicycles and European motorbikes, firing out of Mercedes-Benz windows and SUV sunroofs, pushing in on every square foot of sidewalk. The cameras strobe around her like a Ferris wheel.
Rihanna glides through the melee and into the foyer, where her signed photograph hangs. She's sporting skintight black jeans, black shades, a black cutoff designer sweatshirt with oversize gold letters. (ORIGINAL, it says.) With her dahlia-shade lips, big anime eyes, and slow-motion strut, she looks like some neo-noir femme fatale en route to her next hit.
"That was intense," I stammer, emerging from the whiteout of flashes and the theatrics of Rihanna arrives at dinner.
"I guess you're used to it by now. But my heart kind of..."
"You're never used to it," she says. "It's chaos."
Robyn Rihanna Fenty rides swells of chaos and controversy and celebrity with the nerve and control of a champion big-wave surfer. When we meet in October, she's on the verge of releasing Unapologetic, her seventh studio album in seven years. (The last six have sold more than a million copies each.) She's been named the most downloaded artist ever, the most popular star on Facebook, the sexiest woman alive; she's reached nearly 3 billion views on YouTube; she's Rihanna Inc., a multimillion-dollar enterprise. She's 24. "Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product, " she says. "I look at me and see art. If I didn't like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery. "
There's a group of goons conspiring in the restaurant's private back room, and Rihanna blows them a kiss. Her publicist and assistant take a table nearby. She sits across from me with the posture of a boarding-school equestrian.
I bring up her body art, and she jokes about almost getting inked on her face the night before. "The tattoo artist said nope, I'm not gonna do it," she says, "because if you're looking at your face, it's right there staring at you." Before the entrées arrive, she's interviewing the interviewer. I'm getting into my recent breakup, the empty space in my closet, and she's saying, very bro-like, "Life can be such a dick sometimes, right?"
She sometimes gets grouped with theatrical pop stars like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj. But those are one-woman masquerade balls, their real selves hidden behind the next costume change. Rihanna, on the other hand, comes off as wild, weird, unfiltered, a little unhinged, which just makes everyone else go all unhinged. Onstage, she'll tap out the beat on her coochie and croon lyrics like Suck my cockiness, lick my persuasion. Online, she'll tweet a chicken-soup Bible passage to her 26 million followers and then an Instagram shot of a stripper's head between her thighs. And there's her tabloid-epic personal life (we'll get to that). She once said she wants to be "the black Madonna." But there's none of the Material Girl's self-conscious Catholic angst here.
"That comes from my culture," she says with her Bajan steel-drum accent. "That's just the way it's always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious." When Rihanna was starting out, after being discovered by a vacationing music producer in Barbados, she didn't realize she was doing anything other than what she had grown up doing in the dance halls. "I was a lot more naive about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about 'Oh, you're a sex symbol,' it just makes you think, 'Why are you saying that?' And I figured it out."
I ask what turns her on, because I know she'll answer. "I like to feel like a woman," she says. "I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead." Do you ever switch things up? I ask. "I could absolutely be dominant," she answers. "But, in general, I'd rather... How do I say this in like a...non-X-rated version?" Right. Lastly, any boundaries I should know about? "Love makes you go places you probably wouldn't ever go, had it not been for love. But I think everybody still has their limits."
Rihanna's penthouse at the Hotel Gansevoort looks like the cargo hold of the Titanic after hitting the iceberg. Members of her entourage sit on suitcases. Blunts circulate. Highlights from Basketball Wives play on the TV.
Her producer, The-Dream, comes in, wearing gold diamond-studded Jesus doubloons that hang down to his belt, a Rolex on each wrist. A former drum-line player, he wrote Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" and Rihanna's megahit "Umbrella." She harmonizes various samples: Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train," Van Morrison's "Gloria," a little Patti Smith. She's infectious. The-Dream beat-boxes, pounding his fist against the door.

Japan have named the same 23-man squad for the third game in a row for Sunday's clash with the USA in the Pacific Nations Cup.
Japan coach Eddie Jones named the same 23-man squad for the third game in a row for Japan's final clash with the United States in the IRB Pacific Nations Cup on Sunday at the Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground.
Sunday's game will be the first time these two sides have met in the IRB Pacific Nations Cup. Japan have scored a try in each of their last 20 games. You have to go back to a game against Fiji in Tokyo in 2008 (Japan lost 24-12) when they last failed to score a try. This run of games included Tests against the All Blacks and France. Japan have only once failed to score a try in this fixture. This was back in 1991 when they lost 20-9.
In comparison, the USA have failed to cross the line on three occasions in their last 20 matches. All three of those games came in their last four matches which were losses to Canada (16-9), Ireland (15-12) and Tonga (18-9). The USA have also only once failed to score a try in the previous meetings between the two. This was back in 1986 when the sides drew 9-9.
Sunday's match will be the seventh time the two sides have met at the Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium, Tokyo. There have been three victories apiece between the two nations at the venue; the last time they met here was in 2011 when Japan won 20-14.
Japan have won three of their last five at Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium. This includes their victory last weekend against Wales which finished 23-8. The USA have played at Sunday's venue on two previous occasions. They came out victorious on both occasions, winning 28-22 win against Romania in 2005, a result that followed up a 41-11 victory over Russia in 2004.
Todd Clever wins his 50th cap for the USA this weekend.
Following on from the wins against Wales and Canada, Jones was able to name an unchaned team after Craig Wing was passed fit. The 33-year-old centre was originally selected to start against Canada but was a late withdrawal on Wednesday evening, with Yu Tamura starting in his place and Seiichi Shimomura called up to the bench.
Wing's inclusion sees Tamura drop to the bench and Shimomura out of the squad all together.
The starting XV for Sunday's game is the same as that which started against Wales, meaning there are four changes — in addition to Wing taking over from Tamura — from the side that took to the field against Canada in Nagoya.
Masataka Mikami and Hiroshi Yamashita are both promoted from the bench with Yusuke Nagae and Kensuke Hatakeyama moving in the opposition direction. Mikami and Yamashita will pack down either side of Shota Horie and in front on Hitoshi Ono and Shoji Ito.
Ono and Ito started Wednesday's game on the bench and they take over from Justin Ives and Shinya Makabe, who resume their role as replacements.
When asked the reason for Japan's recent success, Hirose said: "Hard work. But we have one game to go and we want to finish in style."
The teams:
Japan: 15 Ayumu Goromaru, 14 Toshiaki Hirose (capt), 13 Male Sau, 12 Craig Wing, 11 Kenki Fukuoka, 10 Harumichi Tatekawa, 9 Fumiaki Tanaka, 8 Takashi Kikutani, 7 Michael Broadhurst, 6 Hendrik Tui, 5 Shoji Ito, 4 Hitoshi Ono, 3 Hiroshi Yamashita, 2 Shota Horie, 1 Masataka Mikami.
Replacements: Replacements: 16 Takeshi Kizu, 17 Yusuke Nagae, 18 Kensuke Hatakeyama, 19 Shinya Makabe, 20 Justin Ives, 21 Atsushi Hiwasa, 22 Yu Tamura, 23 Yoshikazu Fujita.
USA: 15 Chris Wyles, 14 Luke Hume, 13 Adam Siddall, 12 Andrew Suniula, 11 James Paterson, 10 Toby L'Estrange, 9 Mike Petri, 8 Todd Clever (C), 7 Peter Dahl, 6 Scott LaValla, 5 Louis Stanfill, 4 Brian Doyle, 3 Eric Fry, 2 Chris Biller, 1 Shawn Pittman.
Replacements: 16 Zach Fenoglio, 17 Nick Wallace, 18 Phil Thiel, 19 Cam Dolan, 20 Liam Murphy, 21 Robbie Shaw, 22 Seamus Kelly, 23 Blaine Scully.
Date: Sunday 23th June
Venue: Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium, Tokyo
