Sauteing in water instead of oil might sound strange and even a little yuck to someone who loves delicious food. In fact, right now I can imagine some of you shaking your heads going, oh, come on! But trust me when I say that it makes almost no difference to the flavor of many Indian foods, like curries and dals. And it can be your waistline's best friend.
Most Indian recipes start out with a "tadka" or "phodani" of oil, where you heat some oil then add spices like mustard, cumin, chillies, and asafoetida. The oil extracts the flavor of the spices, helping it mingle with the foods.
Most of my Indian recipes start this way too, except — having always been health conscious– I usually cut down the oil to just about a teaspoon or, at most, a tablespoon, which then gets split into several servings. But recently a great deal of research has emerged that shows cutting added fats from your diet altogether (yes, even that teaspoon) can be extremely beneficial to health. Bill Clinton, the first name in veganism today, says he's done it, and his cardiovascular health has never been better. He's also lost a lot of weight.
Now I know that some fat is essential in your diet, but many foods already contain fats– even those you wouldn't imagine would. For instance, there are small amounts of fats in lentils, beans, grains, and most veggies and fruits, and fairly large amounts in nuts and some veggies like avocados and olives. Soymilk has fats, and so does tofu. So cutting out added fats — even the good ones like olive oil which contain the same amount of calories as the unhealthy fats– is not going to leave you missing an essential nutrient.
There are some things to keep in mind when you take oil out of the equation while making Indian food, and the chief among these is that you do not– absolutely do not– add raw whole or powdered spices to water. Spices already contain some oil, so if you even toast them on a dry skillet before you powder them, or before you add the water, you won't go wrong. Garlic and ginger, on the other hand, will do fine when sauteed in water or on a dry skillet. You can even sputter your mustard seeds and cumin seeds in a dry skillet.
As the new year bears down on us, I am trying to find ways to make my diet even healthier than it already is because with each passing year the pounds get harder to shake off. Today, I want to share with you my recipe for a very simple but utterly flavorful Tomato Dal made with absolutely no fat, but so delicious that no one would know. I like mixing this with some cooked cracked wheat (a delicious, low-glycemic alternative to rice), or just slurping it up like a soup.
This time, I served it up with some Phulkas. Phulkas are fat-free versions of that popular Indian bread, the chapati. Phulkas are rolled slightly thicker, cooked partly on a hot griddle, and finished off directly on the gas burner where they puff up into a ball. Think skinny pitas, but softer.
I didn't have a chance to photograph my phulkas puffing up on the burner because my photographer, Desi, was not available when I made them and I couldn't do both jobs– roasting the phulkas and photographing– at once, but I promise to get him to take some pictures over the next couple of days and post them here so you'll know how they should look. I will also be posting more fat-free and very low-fat recipes over the next few weeks, so if you're interested in learning more about healthy ways to cook Indian– and other– food, keep an eye out.
Now tell me, what is your new year's resolution?

South Indian Green Tomato Dal, Tomato Masiyal
10-minute Vegan Dal with Basic Tomato Onion Masala Sauce
Instant Pot Vegan Dal Makhani
One Pot Garlicky Spinach Dal
Dal Tadka
Phulkas, Fat-free Chapatis
- 2 cups whole-wheat chapati flour or regular whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp salt (use powdered salt, not granular)
- Water for kneading
- Add the salt to the flour and mix well. Add water, a little at your time, and knead the dough to a firm but pliable consistency. You don't want a sticky dough because it will be hard to handle and the phulkas won't puff up.
- Divide the dough into 18 portions, and roll each into a circle, about 4 inches in diameter. You don't want to roll your phulkas too thin because they won't puff up if you do, and you want to roll them as evenly as you possibly can-- which means they should not be thin in some places and thick in others.
- Heat a cast-iron or nonstick griddle on the stove, and keep another burner free to finish the phulkas. If you have an electric stove, you can buy a steel grill (it looks like a small cooling rack) at some Indian grocery stores that you can place on top of the stove grill so your phulkas won't come in direct contact with the coils and burn.
- Once the griddle is very hot, place one phulka on it and when bubbles start to appear, flip it over and let it go for about 15 seconds.
- Light the other burner and using a pair of tongs (preferably something that won't pierce through the phulka) place the phulka directly on the flames. It should start to puff up immediately.
- As soon as it puffs up, turn it over and let the other side cook for 15 seconds. Be quick and watchful because you don't want your phulka to turn to cinder. That said, this is all very easy once you've gotten the hang of it.
- Store the prepared phulkas while you make the rest by stacking and wrapping them in a kitchen towel. Don't put them in a closed box because they'll sweat.
- Eat them fresh and hot. They are really soft fresh but will harden as they stand. To refresh them, zap them in the microwave for a few seconds, but they do taste best just off the stove.
Fat-Free Tomato Dal
- 1 cup tuvar dal (pigeon peas), boiled until really tender and mushy, preferably in a pressure cooker
- 2 large tomatoes , finely diced
- 1 large onion , finely diced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 cup coriander leaves , chopped
- 1 tbsp sambar powder (since sambar powder is usually pre-roasted, you don't need to roast this first)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- Heat a skillet and add the turmeric to it. Roast it for just about 30 seconds, stirring, and then add 1/4 cup of water or vegetable stock.
- When the water simmers, add the onion, ginger, and half the coriander leaves. Add a pinch of salt.
- Saute the onions until they begin to turn translucent and get soft. Now add the tomatoes and the sambar powder and stir them well to mix. Cook, stirring, until the tomato's completely broken down. Add a tiny bit of water if necessary to help it along.
- Add the cooked dal and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and let it cook about 10 minutes. Add water if the dal is too thick.
- Turn off the heat and garnish with the remaining coriander leaves.
- Nutrition estimate per serving: Calories 82.1, Total fat 0.4 grams, Dietary fiber 3 grams, Protein 4.3 grams, Sugar 0.1 grams

Building the Case for Nonintervention: What's NATO?Posted: April 4, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Crimea, Get US Out!, Korean War, NATO, Putin, Russia, SEATO, The John Birch Society, UN, United Nations, Vietnam War 1 Comment
Building the Case for Nonintervention: What's NATO?
by JBS President John F. McManus
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was sold to the American people and the U.S. Congress in 1949 as an alliance needed to prevent the Soviet Union from gobbling up more nations to its West. With such an attitude prevailing, NATO won ratification in the Senate with only 13 negative votes. Opponents of entangling the U.S. in additional international pacts claimed correctly that membership in NATO would require U.S. involvement in disputes all over the world. Only a few knew that NATO was created as a "Regional Arrangement" authorized by Articles 51-54 of the United Nations Charter. Then-Secretary of State Dean Acheson didn't attempt to hide this relationship and, in his March 19, 1949 speech to the U.S. Senate, he confidently proclaimed, "… it is designed to fit precisely into the framework of the United Nations" and is "an essential measure for strengthening the United Nations."
The text of the very brief NATO Treaty, only 14 brief articles, actually mentions "the United Nations" five times. The treaty's Article 5 pledges all signers to consider an attack on any member nation as an attack on all that must be met by all with a military response. In 1950, membership in NATO was cited by President Truman as his authority to send American forces into Korea to counter North Korea's invasion of its southern neighbor. Later, the precedents established by NATO led to creation of a virtually identical treaty known as the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). President Lyndon Johnson pointed to it for authority to commit hundreds of thousands of U.S. forces to Vietnam. The two wars were the first waged by the United States without victory. And NATO is now the overall leader of the military action in Afghanistan where victory is seemingly impossible.
NATO has recently raised its voice in response to Russia's annexation of the Crimean area of Ukraine, and to the further stationing by Russia of tens of thousands of troops near the Ukraine-Russia border. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says that the Russian actions have "undermined the very foundations" of the relationship that NATO has been building with Russia. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry joined with officials of other NATO member nations in planning to build up air, sea and land forces for possible use in reversing Russia's moves. Should force be employed against Russia, one can be certain that its main ingredient will consist of U.S. military might. But such a development is extremely unlikely inasmuch as it would have to stem from authorization supplied by the UN Security Council where Russia possesses a veto.
Seemingly lost in all of this headline-grabbing activity is the fact that the people in Crimea have already approved being annexed by Russia. At most, the situation involves only the two neighbors, Ukraine and Russia. In years gone by, such a low-level problem would involve only those affected by it. Now, thanks to the United Nations and its NATO subsidiary, any such dispute seems poised to become a regional or even a world conflagration. UN and NATO leaders seem desirous of injecting their organizations and their forces. And, if they succeed, existing treaty obligations will require the U.S. to participate, even lead the response.
All of which points to reasons why the United States should withdraw from NATO and its parent, the United Nations. Doing so would terminate the ongoing U.S. policy that has American forces acting as the policemen of the world. And respect for the United States would begin to rise again to heights previously enjoyed when our nation minded its own business.

Morgan Stanley's Gerard Minack calls outperformance of U.S. stocks versus global stocks "the most obvious feature of global equities over the past two years."
What's been driving U.S. outperformance?
Looking at where those U.S. companies are sourcing their earnings from is an interesting way to look at this.
In a note to clients, Minack provides the chart below, which shows earnings expectations for American companies that generate most of their sales at home versus those American companies that generate most of their sales abroad.
"Poor performance of foreign-focused earnings fits the long-standing (and unsurprising) link between growth in America's trading partners and foreign-sourced profits," says Minack.
Since several of America's largest trading partners are grappling with weak economies, and the U.S. economy is expected to outperform in the coming years, the chart above makes a lot of sense.
However, that's only part of the story.
Minack points out that "GDP growth in emerging markets has been stronger than in the U.S., but earnings delivery worse over the past two years."
The difference is margin expansion, which U.S. companies have experienced plenty of in recent years.
And the key to that margin expansion – "the single most important factor," according to Minack – is falling per-unit labor costs.
"My colleague, Adam Parker, doubts that margins will improve this year to the extent implied by consensus forecasts for US earnings," concludes Minack. "To the extent that margins have been assisted by fiscal easing, the significant fiscal tightening now being introduced suggests that the gap between US-sourced and foreign-sourced earnings may narrow in coming quarters."

Technical Paper
Year-Long Evaluation of Trucks and Buses Equipped with Passive Diesel Particulate Filters
A program has been completed to evaluate ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels and passive diesel particulate filters (DPFs) in truck and bus fleets operating in southern California. The fuels, ECD and ECD-1, are produced by ARCO (a BP Company) and have less than 15 ppm sulfur content. Vehicles were retrofitted with two types of catalyzed DPFs, and operated on ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel for over one year. Exhaust emissions, fuel economy and operating cost data were collected for the test vehicles, and compared with baseline control vehicles. Regulated emissions are presented from two rounds of tests. The first round emissions tests were conducted shortly after the vehicles were retrofitted with the DPFs. The second round emissions tests were conducted following approximately one year of operation. Several of the vehicles retrofitted with DPFs accumulated well over 100,000 miles of operation between test rounds.

Etón Rugged Rukus review
Solar-powered outdoor fun
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
The Rugged Rukus can also charge a smartphone via a USB cable.
I like working outside around the house on sunny Saturdays. I like it even better when I can have my favorite tunes blasting away and keeping my energy level up. And that was pretty much my experience with the Etón Rugged Rukus solar-powered Bluetooth® speaker system. I worked, the Rukus played, and life was good.
First impressions
Pulling the Rugged Rukus out of its box, I was struck by two things — its feel and its weight. The Rukus has a rubberized exterior that makes it water-resistant. The coating is a little rough, so you can set it on a slight incline and it will stay in place.
The Rugged Rukus weighs just a little over a pound, which made it easy to tote around. Just clip a carabiner to the frame, and you can carry it on a backpack.
Bluetooth connectivity
The Rugged Rukus is primarily a wireless Bluetooth speaker, although it does have auxiliary input for a wired stereo minijack connection. We didn't fool with that. I wanted to control and select my music, so the iPhone® stayed close at hand. It only took a minute or so to pair the Rukus with my device, and we were ready to go outside.
Rugged by name, rugged by nature
There's no question this system was built for outdoor use. As we were watering the garden the wind shifted, momentarily showering the Rukus. No problem. Rubber flaps protected its inputs and outputs, and drops just beaded up on the casing. So you'll have no worries taking the Rukus poolside (just don't actually take it into the pool).
And the Rukus is built, well, ruggedly. I didn't mean to test that feature — the Rukus just kind of fell off the ladder it was perched on when I bumped into it. No matter. This case was designed for tumbles. There's nothing protruding that can be broken off, even if it lands on a hard surface.
That solar panel isn't for show. It really helps charge the Rugged Rukus.
Soaking up the rays
The top of the Rukus is covered with a solar panel. For outdoor activity, it's ideal. We spent a good part of the day outside with the sun beating down, and the Rukus played on through it all. The device can fully recharge in less than five hours of direct sun.
The Rukus has a USB charging port for a smartphone, which came in handy as the day progressed. Because the iPhone was connected for part of the day, we didn't finish with a full charge (even though the Rukus had more than five hours of sun). But it did finish with more than enough power to keep playing for another hour or so.
So how's the sound?
When the Rukus was pointed straight at us, we could enjoy our music at moderate volume levels. When we moved around and were listening off-axis we needed to crank it a bit more. Of course, the Rukus is small and light enough to be moved around, too. So as I worked in different parts of the yard, I just picked up the Rukus and plopped it down in my new location.
Small size — big sound
The Rukus has a tight, punchy sound that's perfect for outdoor party music. It sounded great as we streamed our top 40 station from Pandora Internet radio. Ditto for tracks by Dick Dale, the Ventures, and other surf guitar masters. Rap, techno — even electric blues all sounded killer on the Rukus. The sound was balanced, the bass was present, and there was a good amount of volume so the music didn't get lost in the open air.
The Bottom Line
This is a great outdoor portable speaker. I would use this at the beach, poolside, on a hike, on the deck — anywhere outside. Because it's solar-powered, long exposure on a sunny day can keep the Rugged Rukus charged and ready. And being able to use that stored power for a smartphone is an added plus — especially when you're outdoors and far from an outlet.

Student Hair Salon in Westcliff before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Hairdressing Prices is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Becoming a Hairdresser - The Advantages and Disadvantages
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Mobile Mens Hairdresser hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
Becoming a Hairdresser - The Advantages and Disadvantages
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.

I recently received an email from a woman who said she had very long hair. For the past several months, her hair had been shedding much more than what was normal for her. She had read on some forums that sometimes the weight from long hair can pull the hair shaft out and can result in loss. So, she wanted to know if cutting her hair much shorter could potentially stop her shedding. I have a definite opinion on this based on my own experience and research. I will share it in the following article.
The Difference Between Traction Alopecia And Shedding Hair: There are cases where wearing your hair in a very tight braids or pony tails can results in the hair breaking off or pulling out. This is called traction alopecia and it's well documented. Usually, if you examine the hair, you'll see that some of it has broken off. You'll see short little jagged strands that indicate breakage.
Or, sometimes, the weight is so much that rather than breaking off, the hair will actually be pulled out. If you were to take one of these spent hairs and examined the tip, you'd likely see that on the end (at the bulb that comes from your follicle,) the dark colored sheath is still in place. If this is hard to envision, take one strand of your hair, grab it tightly, and pull. Then, examine the end. Since the strand was forcefully pulled out, the sheath that is supposed to protect it will still be in tact.
Now, if your loss is due to the weight of your hair, then yes, getting a cut could potentially help this situation. But, I find that this is the exception rather than the rule. And if this is the case, you can sometimes see a difference in what you're seeing on the end of the strand. In general though, usually this type of loss does not give rise to the high levels of loss that we see with shedding.
Trimming your hair can certainly help to improve it's appearance. A good cut can make you feel better and can give the illusion of more volume. So, it can definitely be worth going for a trim. But making drastic style changes isn't likely to stop some of the common causes of shedding like TE and AGA.

The Lyric Opera of Chicago, typically undaunted by musical challenges, docked its spectacular new production of Show Boat with the confidence befitting its enormous resources and incredible depth of talent. Even so, it created a unique work melding the best of theater and opera performance: a richly textured evening on the Cotton Blossom. Literally. Every scene change is what you would expect on a Mississippi Show Boat. We are the delighted captive audience on the Show Boat.
The singing, the exuberant dancing, the acting—sometimes hilariously comic and sometimes heart-breaking—carry the production into our hearts and minds. Premiered on Broadway in 1927, Show Boat is a remarkable achievement for the de facto pioneer of American musicals. Its uniquely American subject matter, conflict, style, inspiration, look and feel would be extraordinary in a more mature genre. But for a first in its class, Show Boat is impossibly mature.
When Show Boat, the seminal American masterpiece with music by Jerome Kern and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II (based on the Edna Ferber novel) dropped its operatic anchor in Lyric, a dazzling new production was launched. Starring Ashley Brown, Nathan Gunn, Alyson Cambridge, Morris Robinson, Angela Renée Simpson, Ross Lehman, Cindy Gold, Ericka Mac, and Bernie Yvon, conducted by John DeMain and directed by Francesca Zambello; set designer Peter J. Davison, costume designer Paul Tazewell, lighting designer Mark McCullough, sound designer Mark Grey, and choreographer Michele Lynch (debut).
As Zambello explains, "Show Boat is a work that set a benchmark for everything to come. We could not have had Gershwin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, or Sondheim without this work. Nor could we have found a bridge from opera to our own American art form. I have long believed that musical theater is 'our' version of opera. We now need to find a way to allow opera and musical theater to live harmoniously in our American theater and opera-house landscape."
Appropriately, its production anticipates the Renée Fleming Initiative, Lyric's annual commitment to American Music Theater, starting with a new production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! in the spring of 2013.
Intermission Interview:
I had the pleasure of sharing Show Boat with a dear friend, Charles Troy, Musical Theater Historian and Creator of Broadway Musicals and their Creators multimedia presentations. He chimes in:
"The Lyric Opera production of Show Boat is beautiful to look at and wonderfully sung. As a student of musical theatre history, I particularly enjoyed the restoration of a number of obscure songs that are usually cut in productions of Show Boat. (Kern and Hammerstein wrote far more songs than could be programmed into an evening's entertainment.) All that being said, I do have some reservations about this production. The direction seemed lacking a certain dynamism. The chorus sometimes seemed stationary, and thus the dancing interludes felt grafted on rather than arising organically from the action. But the opportunity to see and hear this first great American musical given such respectful treatment in such a handsome production trumps any particular objections I might have." Visit Charles website to learn about him and his excellent work: www.charlestroy.com
Generous sponsors for this new production are The Elizabeth Morse Genius Charitable Trust, The Elizabeth Morse Charitable Trust, Mr. and Mrs. William C. Vance, the Mazza Foundation, Jim and Vicki Mills/Jon and Lois Mills, Roberta L. and Robert J. Washlow, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

For the sauce:
14 oz can pineapple chunks, in juice
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 inch knob ginger, minced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped chile pepper (I used cayenne from our garden)
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
For the meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken*
4 tablespoons panko
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
white pepper
For the sauce:
In medium sauce pan, stir together all of the sauce ingredients. Cook for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
For the meatballs:
In a large bowl and with a light hand, mix together all of the meat ball ingredients, adding an additional tablespoon of panko if needed. Form mini meatballsusing this method or by rolling 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture between oiled hands to form balls. Place the meatballs on the broiler and broil (alternately, bake them on a baking sheet in the oven at about 350) until they are pretty much cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add them to the sauce, and simmer over low for about 10 minutes.
Serve with rice.
*I guess you could substitute ground turkey, but I kind think it's gross. I always find a bit of bone in ground turkey and Maryland is chicken country. I've heard though, that ground chicken isn't easy to find every where so do what you have to do. Lean ground beef would probably be okay too.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Fast Times At Ridgemont High is The Godfather or the Gone With The Wind of '80s teenage sex comedies. It's bigger and better than its lesser peers including My Tutor, The Last American Virgin, Porky's, Losing It, and a list that goes on and on. Inspired by the success of the wonderful National Lampoon's Animal House as well as the ensemble attitude of American Graffiti, based on a book by Cameron Crowe, with an exceptional cast of then unknowns (including two of their generation's best, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Sean Penn), Fast Times At Ridgemont High is an epic study of Southern California teen suburban culture of the early 1980s.
The film really is more than just a teen sex comedy (which doesn't usually mean that sex is actually happening - it is generally more just being wished for - as well as preening and peeking for potential nudity). Besides being very funny there is some dramatic weight to the film and to many of the characters, mostly concerning an abortion. Other than a few teachers at Ridgemont High not many adults (parents) factor into the story (not including the 26-year old stereo salesman who seduces a teenager). This is a teen fantasy of laughs and sex all in a sunny, year-round location. It's the lighter side of the "burning the school down" fantasy of Over The Edge.Continue Reading

What a barfy night. Not for me (well, inadvertantly it was since I was on the receiving end of the barf), but for Ava.
Poor Ava was up off and on barfing from 2:30 to 7 a.m. It made for a very long night, especially since I went to bed already having a headache last night. Jody got up with us the first few times and helped clean up (which was good because those times were the messiest), but I let him sleep through the later dry heaves in the early morning. I wanted him to get *some* sleep before having to go to work this morning and I figured Ava and I would sleep in (which we did, til about 10:30).
It was so sad when she woke up a few times saying "no more throw up" because she knew it was coming again and then she'd heave some more. 🙁
I made a stirfry last night trying out "chicken" seitan for the first time and now I wonder if something was wrong with it. You may recall a similar situation happened to us with tempeh before.
So does anyone know what the White Wave Chicken-Style Seitan is supposed to look like out of the package? Should it resemble a block of tofu? That's what I was expecting it to look like, but mine was all broken up into chunks. The expiration date was in May and I just bought it yesterday so I figured it'd be fine, but I just didn't know what to expect. And I have to say that it tasted just fine too. Maybe her system just didn't like it because, other than my having a headache, Jody and I didn't have any reaction to it.
Thankfully she's been fine since about 7 this morning. No more puking and she woke up to her happy, energetic self. I asked her how her tummy was this morning and she replied, "pretty good." And she never ran a fever or had any other symptoms which is why I'm thinking she just had a bad reaction to dinner. Poor lil chickadee.
Of course this happens the day before we have plans to leave Ava with friends while Jody and I venture out to celebrate our anniversary which was last week. We have reservations at The Melting Pot and I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully Ava will continue to do well and we'll be ok to leave her tomorrow evening. Keep your fingers crossed. 🙂

[I'm sure you're just as thrilled as I am to see a new post from Michael. Whether you have watched Dong Yi or not, this is one review that's going to have you smacking your lips in delight. Happy reading! —thundie]
I initially wrote about 90% of this almost 2 years ago, but as much as I loved Dong-Yi, I couldn't help but drag, procrastinate, and rationalize to delay the inevitable because I generally don't feel as comfortable watching or translating sah-guk (사극, historical drama). Why? Because it feels like writing about a foreign film when I don't quite understand the foreign language fully. So what, you say, because that's how most of you feel watching Korean dramas? Well, that's because you don't have to decipher old Korean language into English. I was, and still am, suffering from lack of confidence as to whether I'm correctly translating the old Korean into English. So do cut me some slack and let me down gently when you (you know who you are – a few of you out there who are sah-guk virtuoso – yes, dramaok, that means you, too) see any glaring mistakes.

So last week I had a crazy tiny house adventure. It involved a potato, a few tiny houses, building codes and a lot of meeting tiny house folks.
I started off staying with Laura and Matt, two tiny housers in Asheville, Laura blogs at 120squarefeet.com (she also has a new book out – click here). I have gotten to know them pretty well and always enjoy hanging out with them. Not only do we talk about tiny houses, but we get to nerd-out too.
From there I met up with my brother and went to my favorite breakfast spot, Sunny Pointe. After an amazing locally sourced organic breakfast we headed out. From there we hit the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the fall colors. I love driving the parkway, its winding roads and amazing views, it's pretty hard to beat. I dropped down from the parkway down into Brevard, saw looking glass falls and grabbed some lunch.
The next day I was off to Dan's workshop where we talked about tiny houses. I gave a talk on building codes and zoning. After lunch Matt and Laura talked about their tiny house and living in it. There were a lot of great questions for both presentations and the workshop allowed for us to chat with a lot of the folks.

X-47B UCAS Team Accepts Prestigious Collier Trophy
On Thursday, representatives from Pratt & Whitney joined the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and the industry team responsible for developing the X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) in Washington, D.C., to accept what is widely considered the most prestigious award in all of aviation – the Robert J. Collier Trophy. The Collier Trophy is awarded annually by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) to recognize the greatest achievements in aeronautics or astronautics in America during the preceding year.
The award-winning aircraft – powered by Pratt & Whitney – pushes the boundaries of unmanned aviation, including being the first unmanned aircraft to take off and land on a sea-based carrier. For Jimmy Reed, former director of advanced engine programs for Pratt & Whitney, being a key contributor to the team that was recognized for making aviation history is an important success for the company.
"This proves to the world what we already knew: that Pratt & Whitney knows how to provide propulsion systems for the most challenging applications in the world," Reed said.
The platform uses the F100-PW-220U engine, a derivative of the F100-PW-220 engine that has powered F-15 and F-16 fighter jets around the globe for more than 30 years.
"When you are talking about a single-engine, unmanned aircraft which needs to land on a sea-based carrier – a moving target with people and expensive equipment on it – there's not a lot of room for error," said Doug Thonebe, chief engineer for Pratt & Whitney's UCAS engine program. "We provided an engine that can push further to keep up with new applications without sacrificing the dependability the F100 is known for."
About 20 representatives from the Pratt & Whitney team attended the award ceremony, which took place in a hangar at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Va.
The Navy and all of the X-47B industry partners – which include Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, and UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS), among others – celebrated the victory.
"The excitement of being part of a program that is making naval and aviation history… it's incredible," said Barry Gilpatrick, a Pratt & Whitney engineer on the program. "It was just heartwarming to know that I had some part in supporting this program and making it happen."
"Working on the UCAS program is definitely a highlight of my career."
For more information about the propulsion system for the X-47B, check out the Fall 2013 issue of Pratt & Whitney Military Engines Product Support Quarterly, or this June 2013 interview from Avionics Intelligence with Jimmy Reed.

Vapur recently partnered with jovoto, Dwell Magazine and Opportunity Green to launch the "Thirst For Design" competition, a graphic design contest allowing artists to contribute creative ideas for a new "Artist Series" of anti-bottles. These bag-like bottles will make carrying tap water more fashionable among a wide variety of age groups. Vapur anti-bottles are foldable and reusable, making them easy to carry anywhere you go. They are also BPA free, dishwasher safe and freezable. The company believes in putting an end to the harmful plastic waste that is bottled water, and the winning designs embody this belief. They were so impressive that we decided to feature them on our blog. Visit jovoto's "Thirst for Design" website for more information.
Design Contest Winners
The designer's overall goal was to create something sexy and fun that would target all age groups. This anti-bottle features a series of cartoon characters (including a monkey that resembles Paul Frank) involved in a variety of activities that will make you sweat. After running, dancing, lifting weights, or doing anything "fun," you'll need some water, and what better source is there than a Vapur anti-bottle depicting the reason behind your thirst in a fresh, unique way. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this submission is the design's easy adaptability to other media such as t-shirts, posters and stickers.
Second Place: "Bottle Inhabitants"
This design is simple, unique and humorous. The egg-shaped "bottle inhabitants" are annoyed by the filling of the anti-bottle, but who can resist these cute characters?
Third Place: "Fantastic Tap Water"
Implied by its title, this design promotes "fantastic tap water" through a series of depictions, including: "the sea snake and Robinson Crusoe"; "the dangerous deep sea fish"; "the octopus and the stranded pirate"; "the little mermaid"; "the crab and the walker"; and "the black shark in the pouring rain." The artist calls them "freaks of the Caribbean." And if you're ever stranded on an island surrounded by salt water like the creatures in these depictions, you'll need a taste of refreshing, healthy tap water from your Vapur anti-bottle.
Fourth Place: "World Changers Collection"
This design features a series of halftone portraits of people who have changed the way the world thinks, including: Mahatma Ghandi, Abraham Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Theresa. The back of each bottle features a typed quote by the person depicted on the front. The idea is simple, yet revolutionary, as the quotes are relevant to positive future change, which is the whole reason behind the Vapur anti-bottle as a product.
Fifth Place: "Relation Between Plants and Water"
This double-faced design features two main types of plants – a cactus and a leaf. The cactus bottle design represents a source of water, while the leaf bottle design represents a need for water. The water level in the bottle can be seen through the leaf's transparent veins or through the cactus's prickly spines.
The artist has included three different, yet related designs in which the front of the bottle features a creature (either a fish, a deer or a plant) surrounded by a globe-shaped cloud of plastic waste, underneath the text: "My World is Getting Smaller Every Day." On the back of the bottle, the creature has been freed from this cloud, and sits underneath the text "If Your YOU Changes, its World Changes." Once again, the world-changing impact of the Vapur anti-bottle in general is a part of the bottle design itself. Nice work.
The "Artist Series" bottles will be available in 2011. In the meantime, purchase the Vapur anti-bottle in one of five different colors from Filters Fast for a discounted price.

Hi Brenda. I just discovered your blog recently, and I want to say first I'm very impressed with both your writing and your research. I'm especially interested in anything you turn up on Perthshire Frasers, as I'm a descendant of that group myself, though my great-grandfather emigrated in the 1860's to New Zealand, where I was born (I live in the US now). I don't believe he was related to your Perthshire John Fraser, however, unless it's somewhat farther back in time. Regardless, I am learning much by reading about your detective methods. If I do come across anything useful for you, I'll be happy to share it, but given that I've just begun my research it seems far more likely that I will learn from you rather than the other way around.

Salvaged wood does not get much hipper than the lumber from 14 bowling lanes that Repurposed Materials acquired from a retired bowling alley in Idaho. Check out those insane markers on the maple wood!
How cool would those be featured in a counter, a table, a hallway floor, a desk, a bar top (like the one at Root Down), or even as wall art?
Repurposed Matereials owner Damon Carson says that since the bowling alley wood arrived on March 19, he's "had more interest in this lumber than anything we've ever stocked before. People are unbelievably enthusiastic about this stuff."
Supplies limited. Act now. Then email Damon photographs of the new incarnation of the old bowling lanes, and he'll post the images on the website.

1961, born in Gauteng
Tisa Mertz is a professional artist working in oils and exploring people in everyday activities, most recently concentrating on women and their relationships with one another and their roles in society.
She has an Education Degree in Guidance Psychology from the University of Stellenbosch.
Tisa is a 47-year-old (2008) mother of three boys aged 19, 17 and 12 years.
As a child Tisa loved sketching starting oil painting classes at the age of 15 in Potchefstroom. Tisa feels her most important art classes were with Ryno Swart.
Mertz says:
"I paint in the style of the Impressionists. Light and colour are the main components in my work, my medium is oil. I like to paint figures involved in everyday activities, or portraying a specific mood or moment. My work is gentle and feminine. I also like painting from life in nature or still lives. Art is truth; for me it conveys simplicity with light and colour. It's about lifestyle and relationships. I am more of an introvert but like people; they fascinate me.
I started to paint professionally in 2005. I took a course with Ryno Swart five years ago, I believe he is one of our countries great artists. I studied at Stellenbosch University from 1979-1983 completing a B A in Guidance Psychology and HED.
I paint because I love it. My inspiration is from life and the appreciation I feel for life from day to day. I enjoy being alive and hope that the positive energy and sunshine are perceived by the spectator. It is the biggest compliment if someone likes my work so much that they are willing to make it part of their life. I live in Strand, I have daily walks on the beach, which I love, and I am surrounded by the most beautiful mountains. It is an inspiration to experience Nature"

Both the previous posts are right and wrong. 80PSI is likely the max pressure to carry the max load for the tire. However 80 will quite likely exceed the wheel mfg pressure rating. You need to find out what load and pressure the wheels are rated for and not exceed that.
Hi guys!I recently changed out the "P" tires on my Ram 1500 to "LT" tires with an "e" load rate. The tires have a max pressure of 80psiWhile just driving with no trailer, I'm using 40psi in the tires, but I'm curious what you guys think I should put in them while towing. Would 65psi be too much? Not enough"?

The pressure indicated on the TIRE is the manufactures recommended pressure. When swapping out the origanal tire recommended for the truck always use the pressure indicated on the tire, when towing you should be at 70 - 80psi loaded
I believe that running at half the recommended pressure, no matter what the load on your vehicle, will reduce the life of your tires, and could damage your sidewalls. That could create a problem when you are running under a load.
Years ago I bought oversize tires for a full size 4 wheel drive 1985 Blazer. The shop was a very old one, and had an excellent reputation. Mr Ewing overinflated the tires, then started slipping a dollar bill under the outside edge while letting the air out. When the bill grabbed, he stopped. He then checked the pressure, wrote the front and rear on a 3x5 card and put it in the glove compartment. I ran those tires for 50,000 miles+ using those pressures and never had any odd treadwear. I'm not saying that is the right way to get the proper inflation, but he seemed to know exactly what he was doing, and it worked for me.
The tires I purchased (BFG KO2 "LT") are the same size as stock tires (Goodyear SR-A "P"), 265/70R17. After looking at both sets of tires, the load range stayed the same as "e".
It's not perfect, but since the size & load rating are the same, start by using the recommended pressures shown on the tire sticker on the driver door post. Also, along with that should be another sticker that shows front & rear axle max load ratings. That info can be used as an estimate of the tire load, even though it is a "max". When towing you can set the tire pressure high enough to support the max load. It's likely higher than necessary, but until you can get a scaled weight its better than guesswork.Can you provide a photo of those two stickers, or copy the salient info int a message here?I've attached a sample axle load sticker. In this example, the rear axle can carry up to 6084 lbs. If fully loaded and evenly balanced, that would be 3042 lbs per tire. Usually the loading is not quite equal, so you should allow for a bit more.

DETROIT, June 24 (UPI) -- The two U.S. McDonald's restaurants that sold halal foods, both of them in Michigan, have taken those items off their menus, the company said.
The Detroit Free Press reported Monday only two U.S. McDonald's outlets offered halal foods, which is food prepared according to Muslim religious standards, including having a prayer said while an animal is being cut.
In 2011, a customer from Dearborn Heights, Ahmed Ahmed sued McDonald's for selling non-halal food as halal food. In some cases, employees could not tell the difference and sold non-halal items as halal, the newspaper said.
McDonald's lost the case and was ordered in April to pay $700,000 in damages, $25,000 of which went to Ahmed and the rest to two Muslim community groups and to attorney fees.
The settlement did not say McDonald's had to stop selling halal foods. However, one of the restaurants now bears signs on their menus in Arabic and English that say the halal offerings have been stopped.
"These items have been discontinued as a result of our continued efforts to focus on our national core menu," a company spokesman said.
In 2000, about 65 percent of Chicken McNugget sales at the Michigan Avenue McDonald's outlet in Detroit were halal.
The attorney who filed the case against McDonald's, Kassem Dakhlallah, said it was "disappointing" the restaurant had stopped selling halal foods.
However, he said if the products sold as halal could not be guaranteed to be halal, "then ceasing to offer of halal products was probably the best decision."
