Five minutes before my interview with Dave Tate a new Facebook status update pings onto my screen.
It's from Tate.
"Getting ready for an interview with Nate Green. I'm LMAO right now at some of the items on my list. Random and insane!"
Tate, it seems, is a social media junkie. He posts messages on Twitter and Facebook upwards of ten times per day. What's he talk about?
Damn near everything.
That's why I interview Tate a little differently than most other contributors. There are no real questions or timeline. We just get on the phone and talk.
And that's when the most interesting shit I've ever heard comes out of his mouth.
Tate Talks
• What would I change? Not a damn thing. The old me wouldn't listen to anything I could say to him now anyway. We can't change shit or do things differently so why bother thinking about it? I achieved my goals. I continued to get stronger. So are you asking me if I would go back and suck? Hell no.
• A lot of the habits that became very bad were out of necessity or lack of education.
• I ate clean for many years and my body-fat stayed under 10 percent till I reached 260 pounds. When I tried to break that I ran into problems. I tried to bulk clean with more chicken and rice and I was eating close to 6,000 calories per day. Doing that clean was a bitch. It was almost impossible. I could do it for one day but then it'd drop off to 3000 calories for the next two. So I had to add junk food until the only healthy thing I had left was the lettuce on my Big Mac.
• If you're trying to gain weight you have to eat more food less frequently. Fat people don't try to be fat. And when they tell you they've only eaten twice that day it's probably true. They eat big-ass meals once or twice a day and their metabolism just drops. So what you have to do is try to lower your metabolism as much as you can, because the calorie surplus will be easier to meet. It's probably not the healthiest route, but it'll get you big. You can't do it for long, though. You'll get the sloppy "drop fat" that way.
• Drop fat is when your stomach hangs over your belt like a fanny pack. Looks like a fucking tumor.
• Nutrition is different now. There are supplements that can actually make a huge difference. We're seeing some amazing things with Surge Workout Fuel. We've actually had to have people back down and take less because they were gaining muscle too quickly. We had to pull two guys off completely because they were so close to a meet and had to make weight. These are people who wouldn't gain weight before. I mean, I don't want to be a supplement whore, but if I had to school an up-and-coming lifter I'd tell him to look at pre-, peri-, and post-workout nutrition very closely.
• My old routine was McDonald's on the way to the gym, coffee during my workout, Burger King and Copenhagen post-workout.
• My new routine is SURGE® Workout Fuel, FINiBAR™, Anaconda, SURGE® Recovery, and a shit-load of SPIKE® Shooter. You tell me which is better.
• I knew a strength coach at a D1 school who used to feed his kids peanut butter sandwiches during their training. He told me, "Forget about the nutritional value. Look at the calories I just put in them." Your body can take in a lot of calories in that workout window. Peanut butter sandwiches may not be the best idea, though.
• I train twice per day four days per week using a body-part split.
Morning: Quads
Evening: Hamstrings and calves
Morning: Chest
Evening: Biceps and abs
Monday and Tuesday
Steady-state cardio for 30 to 45 minutes.
Morning: Back (Vertical and horizontal pulls. Sometimes deadlifts.)
Evening: Traps (lots of shrugs) and more upper-back
Morning: Shoulders
Evening: Triceps
• I always make sure there are four and a half hours minimum between sessions. That's from the end of the first to the start of the next.
• My volume is very, very high. I can't train as heavy as I'd like so I'm making up for it. I'm also trying to deplete as much glycogen as possible; that way I can replenish as much as possible. I drain myself and then build back up. Make sense?
• Right now I'm at 12 percent body-fat at 287 pounds. Last week I had my blood work done and my doctor pulled out the first blood report he took before I contacted Berardi back in '06. He put them together and showed me the results. "Here you were 295 pounds and 20 percent body-fat, and there's not a single variable on this chart that's not fucked up," he said. "This one here, you're at 12 percent and only eight pounds off from where you were three years ago and there's not one variable that is screwed up." My nutrition is night and day. I've never been this lean while being this heavy.
• I used to train through everything. You're not supposed to do that. I look at it completely different now with the people I'm working with. But it depends on how far away we are from a meet. If we're outside of the five-week mark, we're gonna let them rest. But if we're inside of five weeks, they're gonna have to push it, man. I'm not gonna hurt them, but my specialty is getting people to perform optimally when they're fucked up.
• Some people will call it hardcore. I call it fast retirement.
• I like carb cycling mostly because I fucking love Fruity Pebbles and Mike and Ikes candy. Some of my super-high days are 1200 grams of carbs. My metabolism just flies. But then I gotta follow that with a low-carb day. It's fucking horrible. I can only have 200 grams of carbs that day. It's a nightmare.
• A lot of guys are going to read that and say, "Fuck you, Dave. 200 grams is not low-carb." Whatever.
• I'm not sold on one diet philosophy. I'm sold on whatever will work for you.
• The Prowler? I fucking hate it. I'm not going to bullshit anyone. I absolutely hate the fucking thing. I'll let everyone else say how awesome it is. Wendler and I took it out to a football field outside of town a while back. I don't know how much weight was on there, but it wasn't a lot. We did full-on sprints. Four times through. It was hot as fuck. I finished and just lay there and wanted to die. My lungs were on fire and the smell of fresh-cut grass made me want to puke. It took everything I had to just get to my car, drive my sorry ass home, sit on the couch and slobber for three hours. After that, I told myself that I'd never push that fucker again.
• I have a phase every year which I detailed in Stronger where I work on muscle balance, mobility and all that bullshit I hate. I have to spend at least two to three months every year taking bars off my back and getting my function back. It's all geared on getting my muscles to fire, and getting my flexibility and conditioning back.
• I have to go through that phase because the next phase is pure strength. I can't do heavy singles and triples without going through my mobility. Most guys don't do it and they're the ones who are going to be fucked up later.
• My year is split into blocks that kind of repeat every year. I spend a few months in each. What are they? Mobility, strength, hypertrophy, and a diet phase.
• I live on Curcumin 500. I take between 8 and 12 a day. It's alleviated the need for me to take things like Advil.
• The most underrated exercise is the chin-up. A lot of lifters I know have shoulder problems. They have very limited range of motion. I think that's because all they've ever done is lat pull-downs. They just don't put your shoulder through the same range of motion as a chin-up. Chin-ups are something I wish I would've done all the time. It's hard to lose the range of motion if you're always using it.
• Everybody wants to look at others to see which way they want to go. Everyone wants to follow. You can learn from the path others have taken but all that's going to do is give you the same results they've gotten. If you're okay with that, then it's cool. But it's not my passion.
• It's a rare individual who lets themselves be steered by what they feel is their own passion.
• Some people are put here just to be critics.
• In all honestly, the majority of people don't give a fuck about you. They have their own shit to worry about. They don't care what you make, or what you lift, or who you are. But that's fine.
• I'd love to be able to generate a million dollars in revenue for LiftStrong. I just want people to know that the strength community gives a shit about something. We're nowhere near the endurance community right now. They take action.
• There's a big problem when it comes to training with percents. If I'm going to tell you to do five reps at 70 percent of your one-rep max, the first thing you have to do is figure out just what the fuck your one-rep max is. The last time you did it could have been three months ago. Lets say you benched 300 for one rep three months ago, but you don't think you could hit that now. It'd be stupid to take 70 percent of 300 pounds and put it on the bar. That may be 80 percent of your max. You may get two reps instead of the five you're shooting for.
•You can work technique all you want at 30 and 40 percent of your one-rep max using multiple sets and low reps, but technique is still going to be influenced by what's on the bar. You may look good at 50 percent but 80 percent may look like shit.
• What I do is have people figure out their "perceived max" for the day. I don't want them to actually do an all-out one-rep set. Let's say a lifter I'm working with has done a 600-pound squat in the past. But maybe they can't hit that today. So we have to figure out where they're at right now and base our training off that perceived max. So this guy hits 495 for three reps and I ask him what he thinks. "It's too light." So he'll go up to 545 for a single and I'll ask again. "I could probably hit 585 today," he says. If I agree with him then we'll do 70 percent based off that perceived max of 585 pounds. The more experienced the lifter, the more "keyed in" he is to his training.
• Our guys just got done with a 12-week phase. Every deadlift went up thirty to fifty pounds across the board. Squats went up by 100 pounds. It wasn't even a strength phase.
• Technique is crucial. Let's say you're doing a squat and it's fucked up. Maybe your knees cave in and your chest keeps falling forward. Well, we could do a "strength" phase and put ten pounds on your squat pretty easily. Or we could just get your technique perfect and instantly add 50 pounds. It's your choice.
• I'm not looking to create lifters who are going to go out and be average. I want them at their maximum potential. I want them to crush it.
• Here's a quick story.
There was a time at the Old Westside gym where I couldn't gain weight to save my fucking life.
There was this dude who trained there who could just put on weight like fucking magic. He'd go from 198 to 308 and then to 275 and back down to 198. And he was never fat. It was amazing.
I finally asked him one day how he did it.
"You mean I never told you the secret to gaining weight? Come outside and I'll fill you in."
Now remember, we're at Westside Barbell. And this guy wants to go outside to talk so no one else can hear. Think about that for a minute. What the hell is he going to tell me? This must be some serious shit if we have to go outside, I thought.
So we get outside and he starts talking.
"For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don't care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that shit down and eat. That's your breakfast."
At this point I'm thinking this guy is nuts. But he's completely serious.
"For lunch you're gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don't want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG bullshit. I don't care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can't let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits and you start to look like the woman behind the counter."
"For dinner you're gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don't like sardines, don't put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that fucker up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that shit over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the shit out of it."
"Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that fucker. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals."
This guy is in a zen-like state when he's talking about this.
"Now you're on the clock," he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you're full. Don't listen to that shit. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I'm telling you now, you're going to get three or four pieces in and you're gonna want to quit. You fucking can't quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.
And if you can't finish it, don't you ever come back to me and tell me you can't gain weight. 'Cause I'm gonna tell you that you don't give a fuck about getting bigger and you don't care how much you lift!"
Did I do it? Hell yeah. Started the next day and did it for two months. Went from 260 pounds to 297 pounds. And I didn't get much fatter. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life, though.
• I gotta go, Nate. Gotta take a piss. E-mail me if you need anything.
I hang up the phone with Tate, grab a glass of water, and refresh my Facebook page.
Instantly, another update from Tate pings onto my screen.
"Spent close to 90 minutes speaking with Nate Green for a new TMUSCLE interview. This will be a good one."
Thanks Dave.

Your support is critical to our success.
Origin and Habitat: Southeastern part of the Dominican Republic (Caribbean, Southern America). It is known from a single locality near the village of Bayahibe in La Romana. It is naturally rare and is found in a single, extremely small and exposed habitat with less than 100 individuals. Pereskia quisqueyana is only known from the type locality and is closely related to Pereskia zinniiflora.
Habitat and Ecology: It is found only at sea level on a shoreline in coastal thickets on coral limestone and sand. This species is listed as Critically Endangered because it is only known from one location and the habitat has been extirpated. The species is surviving due to conservation measures to protect the plants. In 1977, in the Bayahibe region, an archaeological survey was conducted by the French Henry Alain Liogier. This religious and researcher expert in botany, has identified pollen from this flower dates back to 1300 BC. For its reproduction the flowers need to be pollinated by insects.
- Pereskia quisqueyana Alain
- Leuenbergeria quisqueyana (Alain) Lodé
SPANISH (Español): Mata de chele., Rosa de Bayahibe
Description: The Rose of Bayahibe (Pereskia quisqueyanaSN|32840]]SN|32840]]) is one of the rarest cactus, it is a dioecious species, meaning that the sexes are in different individuals. It is one of only several cactus species which contain leaves.
History. Pereskia quisqueyanaSN|32840]]SN|32840]] was discovered in 1977 by French botanist Brother Alain Liogier in Bayahíbe, and declared a new species for science in 1980. When the species was originally described, only sterile material was known, and the plants were assumed to be staminate (male) only. Afterwards a few females plants were found in a private coastal area. Fortunately the plant produced fruits ensuring genetic variability. Although the person who owned the place understood about the importance of these plant for science, all specimens were cut. At first people cut the plants because of the spines bringing the species to near extinction, but later Pereskia quisqueyanaSN|32840]]SN|32840]] became the national flower of the Dominican Republic (in 2011) and it is depicted on banknotes and postage stamps.
Derivation of specific name: This plant was named quisqueyana, in honor of the Dominican Republic, which is also referred to as Quisqueya by the Taínos on the island of Haiti (Hispaniola).
Habit: Plants shrubby or tree-like, 2-4 metres tall
Stems. Trunks to 25 cm in diameter, greenish brown to brown, smooth covered by numerous clusters of spines sprouting from the areoles.
Roots: Main root thickened, spindle-shaped, 20-30 cm long, and 5-10 cm in diameter.
Leaves: Elliptic to obovate lance shaped, succulent, glossy green, 3-5 cm long, 2.5-3 cm broad, with petioles.
Areoles: Producing only spines (not leaves).
Spines: 0-4 on twigs, 1-1.5 cm long, yellow, straw-coloured or brown. As many as 120 on trunks, 2-6 cm long.
Flowers: Very showy, salmon pink sprouting from the terminal part of the branches. Uni-sexual, 5-7 cm in diameter. Flowering was observed (in Dominican Republic) in March and July. Grafted in other pereskias it may bloom all year.
Fruits: Globose to pear-shaped, usually larger than longer, yellowish-green when ripe and containing many black seeds.

Can Air Conditioners Make You Fat?
Throughout the hot summer months as soon as we return house from work the very first thing we do is turn on the a/c unit. Yes it helps to keep us cool and comfy, but rarely do we in fact think that it can have results that are hazardous to us. However as recent research study shows, air conditioners can actually make us fat.The most modern of technologies like air conditioning and heating make us live in a thermoneutral zone. Exactly what this means is that we get used to living at a temperature where there is no need for our body to manage its temperature.
David Allison, the director of Clinical Nutrition Research Center at the University of Alabama in Birmingham holds that the air conditioner might be one of the a number of factors that are behind the weight problems issue that has actually reached nearly epidemic percentages in America.
He in fact gets a variety of factors that can be contributing to this weight problems explosion besides fast food and lack of exercise. These include lack of sleep, certain medications and even things like giving up cigarette smoking as it can increase snacking when the individual becomes desperate for a home cooking.
It is suggested that using ac system must be restricted as much as possible. Because many, if not all modern-day offices come with a/c unit these days, it wouldn't be possible for a working individual to prevent the effects of a/c throughout the day. However a minimum of when he is house, he can restrict the use of the air conditioner. He can fix a certain time in the day, only when he will permit himself the conveniences of the a/c unit. The rest of the time he pertains to a ceiling fan.
Their argument is that, people all over the world are living in different climactic conditions and they still are thin. Air conditioning should not play a role.
At the end of the day, excellent eating routines and routine exercise are the very best way to remain clear of weight problems.
Throughout the hot summer season months as soon as we return home from work the first thing we do is turn on the air conditioner. As current research programs, air conditioners can really make us fat.
Considering that a lot of, if not all modern workplaces come with air conditioners these days, it wouldn't be possible for a working individual to prevent the results of air conditioning all day. He can repair a specific time in the day, just when he will allow himself the conveniences of the air conditioner.

APM Assignment: 2017–2019
APM Assignment: 2017-2019
Current definitions of spirituality from the social work education literature clarify the distinctions and connections between religion and spirituality. This allows social workers to acknowledge spirituality as a universal aspect of human experience and development that may or may not be expressed through religious beliefs and institutions. This Track disseminates the latest knowledge about cultural competence, theory, practice models, research, and curriculum development regarding spirituality in social work education. It also addresses contemporary social work practice as mediated by the interconnections between spirituality and global perspectives. In addition, dialogue on current professional controversies is encouraged, and this Track seeks to honor the diversity of religious and nonreligious paths.

Black Wealth Still Plummeting
By Charlene Crowell
For years, and particularly in recent months, major news outlets have heralded the nation's robust economic recovery. From rising corporate profits, to lower unemployment, or rising stock prices on Wall Street, many consumers might conclude that financial stability not only returned after the Great Recession but continues to climb.
But for people of color, and specifically Black America, the state of the economy has not recovered. Instead of low unemployment, many who were laid off during the foreclosure crisis today are under-employed and cope with paychecks that that lead to more month than money. Recent college graduates remain living with their parents, often due to burdensome student debt that delays them setting up their own households. And according to a recent report by the Federal Reserve, a single $400 unexpected expense led to borrowing, selling something or not being able to pay for four in 10 adults last year.
These seldom unacknowledged financial disparities emerged during testimony at a Capitol Hill hearing on August 21. A subcommittee of the U.S. Senate's Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions heard and learned about how a history of economic exclusion, combined with a more recent wealth shift to the top 10 percent of income earners, leads to a bleak financial future for people of color.
Scott Astrada, Federal Advocacy Director for the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL), testified to the "fear, anxiety and despair facing millions of Americans as they look toward a financial future plagued with uncertainty and loss."
Citing data from multiple and recent research reports, Astrada noted a still-growing economic divide that has worsened since the Great Recession. Today, the wealthiest 10 percent now own 76 percent of the nation's wealth, and the median net worth of Blacks and Latinx are respectively $11,000 and $14,000. Further, the May 2018 Federal Reserve's Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2017, found that fewer than 40 percent of adults feel they are on track to retire with adequate savings, and 25 percent have no retirement savings at all.
"For households of color, the Great Recession erased the economic progress made over the past three decades in their entirety," said Astrada. "If current trends continue, it will take 228 years for the average Black family to reach the level of wealth White families own today. For the average Latinx family, matching the wealth of White families will take 84 years."
"Ultimately," Astrada continued, "if current trends continue Black household wealth is on the path to hit zero by 2053."
Two long-standing federal policies were cited as key components to today's financial disparities: government-backed mortgages and Social Security. Both federal programs, according to Astrada, have a sordid history of discrimination that brought long-lasting and significantly diminished and deliberate federal efforts to diminish the financial well-being of Black Americans.
In 1935, the year that Social Security began as a financial safety net for older Americans, the New Deal program excluded domestic and farm workers. Representing nearly a third of the nation's workforce in the 1930s, these Americans were also largely people of color. A 2017 publication jointly released by Prosperity Now and the Institute for Policy Studies, The Road to Zero Wealth, tallied that long-time economic exclusion to be approximately $143 billion in 2016 dollars.
Fast forward to 2018, and generations of lower wages and benefits translates into nearly a third of Black retirees relying solely upon Social Security as the sole source of retirement income for more than half of retirees for all races.
Similarly from 1934 to 1968, widespread redlining in the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) low-down payment, government-backed mortgages denied Blacks and other people of color opportunities to build and transfer wealth from one generation to another. During this 34-year span, only two percent of FHA mortgages were available to people of color. In just one city, Chicago, this three-decade exclusion shortchanged Black Chicagoans by $3 billion in 2017 dollars."
"The harm of homeownership disparities," added Astrada, "is especially clear when considering that two-thirds of the net wealth that is held by the middle 60 percent of families is in the form of home equity, resulting from, among other factors, invested wealth and appreciation."
The lack of convenient access to full-service banking was identified by Astrada is a third factor diminishing Black wealth. Communities of color, particularly those with low-incomes, frequently lack access to traditional banking. Often these same communities are where high-cost, alternative financial services offering check-cashing, money orders, or payday loans sell their predatory products.
"Individuals cannot simply save and borrow as necessary to smooth dips and spikes without access to affordable and wealth building credit," said Astrada. "Predatory lending ensnares families already in emergency situations."
Since the onset of the Trump Administration, multiple federal agencies such as the Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have emphasized the need for more consumer information.
Although a 2017 report by Prudential Financial, Inc. entitled, The Financial Wellness of America, found that a majority of working Americans suffer from financial stress due to struggles to pay monthly bills, and/or saving for the future, the corporation's representative at the hearing representative attributed this financial angst to "the evolution of retirement and healthcare benefit offerings."
Vishal Jain, a vice president with Prudential Financial, Inc.'s Workplace Solutions Group testified, "Today's workers are having to assume increased responsibility for their financial security. When coupled with day-to-day financial obligations, such as mortgages and student loan debt, it is easy to understand why employees may be experiencing higher levels of stress about their financial situation."
None of the other persons testifying in the hearing spoke to the continuing discrimination that people of color encounter despite federal and state laws calling for equal treatment.
But Astrada did.
"For the purposes of this hearing, I want to underscore that financial literacy cannot, by any means, solve everything…Furthermore, the limits of financial literacy, in the context of discussion, require that strong regulators and sound consumer protection policy remain at the root for retirement readiness," concluded Astrada.

If the obscene and magnificent letters that James JOYCE wrote to his wife Nora during his trip to Trieste, are known and published; Nora's, in response to the latter, remain unknown.
"The fact that you can choose to be by my side fills me with pride and deep joy." – September 16, 1904
"My mind rejects all of today's social order and Christianity – the family home, recognized virtues, social classes and religious doctrines." – August 29, 1904
"Some pages are ugly, obscene and bestial, some are pure and sacred and spiritual: I am all that." – September 7, 1909
"My sweet little whore from Nora, I did what you told me to do, dirty little girl, and I wanked myself twice by reading your letter." – December 8, 1909
"I hope and still hope that you too will write me letters even crazier and dirtier than the ones I send you." – December 13, 1909
So, let ourselves be carried away by our imagination tinged with eroticism and prohibitions.
Perhaps Nora, in response to James 'letters, had the desire to send him not writings, but photographs taken by a close friend, heavily charged with sexuality in order to maintain James' desire and encourage him to write back these letters that we have the pleasure of knowing.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 – UBT Day Five
Mitch and I decide on lunch at 75th Street Brewery to consolidate two must-do items for today. Turns out to be a terrific choice on many levels.
First, the tender barbecue ribs possess all the flavor you expect. The fries and Scottish Ale provide just the right complements. I also try a Muddy Mo' Stout as a finisher.
Along with excellent recommendations, our waiter offers a bit of historical data regarding the brewery, a fire and a rebirth from the ashes. We could stay all afternoon, but we have another must-do on our list: the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
Along our journey toward 18th and Vine, we pass a large cemetery surrounded by stone walls and iron gates. Our Roger Maris gravesite visit in Fargo prompts Mitch to say, "I bet somebody famous is buried here." I reply, "Hmmm. Maybe Buck O'Neil." And we both think, "Of all the Kansas City area cemeteries, what are the odds?"
What's the name of this cemetery? We pull over for some quick smartphone research.
Once again, UBT magic defeats the odds hands-down. This is it!
By sheer chance we enjoy lunch just where we would pass Forest Hill Cemetery on our way to the museum to honor Buck and his colleagues! Then a couple of off-hand remarks (as we are wont to do whenever we're together, but especially when we drive a couple of thousand miles with one another), and we now have another stop to make.
The sales office is in a small ranch house not far inside the gates. Immediately behind this building stands the Negro Leagues Museum monument to honor Buck O'Neil.
When seeing interviews, especially the Ken Burns' "Baseball" segments, I'd always hoped to have a conversation with Buck. Mitch had been fortunate enough to gain an autograph some years ago.
As Mitch and I admire the majestic monument, a gentleman in a coat and tie approaches from the office. He's carrying a folded paper and a pen. He compliments Mitch on his throwback Pirates cap, (which Mitch provided for each of us on our very first UBT).
After we talk for a few moments, he informs us that Buck isn't buried here. At least not at this spot. And he begins to draw a map.
Several yards away in a row of grave markers not unlike any other, lie John J. and Ora Lee O'Neil. A modest gravesite for a man and his long time wife, who lived humbly and joyfully. One of the greatest players to never play in the major leagues.

This text was suggested by Rajeev Thakur and has been adopted as a clarification by the MPI Forum.
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype, MPI_Comm) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

ATLANTA (AP) — The federal government is issuing its first guidelines to schools on how to protect children with food allergies.
The voluntary advice calls on schools to take such steps as restricting nuts, shellfish or other foods that can cause allergic reactions, and to make sure emergency allergy medicines like EpiPens are available.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted the guidelines on its website Wednesday.
About 15 states — and many schools or school districts — already have policies of their own. But experts say many of their policies are probably not comprehensive.
A recent CDC survey estimated that about 1 in 20 U.S. children have food allergies.

More than 2,900 U.S. health care workers have died in the COVID-19 pandemic since March, a far higher number than that reported by the government, according to a new analysis by KHN and The Guardian.
Fatalities from the coronavirus have skewed young, with the majority of victims under age 60 in the cases for which there is age data. People of color have been disproportionately affected, accounting for about 65% of deaths in cases in which there is race and ethnicity data. After conducting interviews with relatives and friends of around 300 victims, KHN and The Guardian learned that one-third of the fatalities involved concerns over inadequate personal protective equipment.
Many of the deaths — about 680 — occurred in New York and New Jersey, which were hit hard early in the pandemic. Significant numbers also died in Southern and Western states in the ensuing months.
The findings are part of "Lost on the Frontline," a nine-month data and investigative project by KHN and The Guardian to track every health care worker who dies of COVID-19.

One of those lost, Vincent DeJesus, 39, told his brother Neil that he'd be in deep trouble if he spent much time with a COVID-positive patient while wearing the surgical mask provided to him by the Las Vegas hospital where he worked. DeJesus died on Aug. 15.
Another fatality was Sue Williams-Ward, a 68-year-old home health aide who earned $13 an hour in Indianapolis, and bathed, dressed and fed clients without wearing any PPE, her husband said. She was intubated for six weeks before she died May 2.
"Lost on the Frontline" is prompting new government action to explore the root cause of health care worker deaths and take steps to track them better. Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services recently asked the National Academy of Sciences for a "rapid expert consultation" on why so many health care workers are dying in the U.S., citing the count of fallen workers by The Guardian and KHN.
"The question is, where are they becoming infected?" asked Michael Osterholm, a member of President-elect Joe Biden's COVID-19 advisory team and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. "That is clearly a critical issue we need to answer and we don't have that."
The Dec. 10 report by the national academies suggests a new federal tracking system and specially trained contact tracers who would take PPE policies and availability into consideration.
Doing so would add critical knowledge that could inform generations to come and give meaning to the lives lost.
"Those [health care workers] are people who walked into places of work every day because they cared about patients, putting food on the table for families, and every single one of those lives matter," said Sue Anne Bell, a University of Michigan assistant professor of nursing and co-author of the national academies report.
The recommendations come at a fraught moment for health care workers, as some are getting the COVID-19 vaccine while others are fighting for their lives amid the highest levels of infection the nation has seen.
The toll continues to mount. In Indianapolis, for example, 41-year-old nurse practitioner Kindra Irons died Dec. 1. She saw seven or eight home health patients per week while wearing full PPE, including an N95 mask and a face shield, according to her husband, Marcus Irons.
The virus destroyed her lungs so badly that six weeks on the most aggressive life support equipment, ECMO, couldn't save her, he said.
Marcus Irons said he is now struggling financially to support their two youngest children, ages 12 and 15. "Nobody should have to go through what we're going through," he said.
In Massachusetts, 43-year-old Mike "Flynnie" Flynn oversaw transportation and laundry services at North Shore Medical Center, a hospital in Salem, Massachusetts. He and his wife were also raising young children, ages 8, 10 and 11.
Flynn, who shone at father-daughter dances, fell ill in late November and died Dec. 8. He had a heart attack at home on the couch, according to his father, Paul Flynn. A hospital spokesperson said he had full access to PPE and free testing on-site.
Since the first months of the pandemic, more than 70 reporters at The Guardian and KHN have scrutinized numerous governmental and public data sources, interviewed the bereaved and spoken with health care experts to build a count.
The total number includes fatalities identified by labor unions, obituaries and news outlets and in online postings by the bereaved, as well as by relatives of the deceased. The previous total announced by The Guardian and KHN was approximately 1,450 health care worker deaths. The new number reflects the inclusion of data reported by nursing homes and health facilities to the federal and state governments. These deaths include the facility names but not worker names. Reporters cross-checked each record to ensure fatalities did not appear in the database twice.
The tally has been widely cited by other media as well as by members of Congress.
Rep. Norma Torres (D-Calif.) referenced the data citing the need for a pending bill that would provide compensation to the families of health care workers who died or sustained long-term disabilities from COVID-19.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) mentioned the tally in a Senate Finance Committee hearing about the medical supply chain. "The fact is," he said, "the shortages of PPE have put our doctors and nurses and caregivers in grave danger."
This story is part of "Lost on the Frontline," an ongoing project from The Guardian and Kaiser Health News that aims to document the lives of health care workers in the U.S. who die from COVID-19, and to investigate why so many are victims of the disease. If you have a colleague or loved one we should include, please share their story.

Home brewing, that is, making your own beer at home, is an increasingly popular activity for many people. There is an absolute wealth of information, supplies, and equipment to be found on nearly every high street, and of course the internet. Hardly surprising in this age of advertisement driven sales, where often the manufacturing costs of a particular beer are dwarfed by the advertising budget of many of the large breweries. Giving rise to a common complaint of bland, overpriced beers with little, or no taste. So lots of people are turning to home brewing to regain the quality and taste of old.
You have control over every stage of the process, and of course these days it certainly doesn't hurt that your finished product, as well as being tasty, is considerably cheaper than the mass produced varieties. Beer has been with us for thousands of years. It can be traced back at least 6,000 years when the Mesopotamians were known to have drunk a fermented bread mash.
Via various routes it eventually arrived in Northern Europe. From where it rapidly spread all over the civilised world. Early fermented drinks, made with grain, the early forerunner of our modern beers, made use of honey as a source of sugar. These drinks were always referred to as "ale".
The term "beer" did not come into common use until much later. Most early ales were brewed from malted grains such as barley, oats, and wheat. They were simple beers. The addition of such ingredients as hops, which we now think are pretty much indispensable were only introduced in the early 1500's when Flemish settlers broght over their recipes, which rapidly proved popular.
Until then many early recipes would contain such ingredients as saltpetre, tree bark, and all manner of root vegatables. The main purpose of many of these ingredients would be to offset the often "rank" taste of the brew. Obviously were it not for the alcoholic content nobody in their right mind would drink it! Every large household in those days would brew their own beer. It generally being safer than a lot of the untreated water, was drunk by all.
They would have a brewing day once a week, producing much stronger beers than are currently made commercially and were made in quite large quantities, stored in casks. From the late 1700's onwards small breweries started producing beer in commercial quantities, brewing excellent, good drinking beers, which were deivered to ale houses within a fairly small radius. Over a period of time, with the increase in population and improvements in transport links, many of these small breweries either amalgamated or were taken over. To be replaced by fewer, larger breweries, making a lot less types of beer. And so we now see a swing back, consumer driven, to a lot more "micro breweries" producing a much smaller quantity of beer, but providing the variety and taste that people want.
The ultimate micro brewery being of course the home brewer.

After Brian finished sixth grade, his parents hired me as a private tutor to continue teaching him Hebrew and to train him for his upcoming bar mitzvah. For a year, I visited Brian at his parent's home on a weekly basis where we went over his Torah portion, haftorah (selection from the Prophets), and worked on his bar mitzvah speech. Some thirteen years later, I still remember learning about the Nazirite Samson with Brian. I didn't merely teach him to recite his Torah reading and haftorah; rather, we studied the biblical text with the commentary so that he understood what he was chanting to the congregation.
Brian's parents shared with me how meaningful that experience had been for their son. As they walked away, I found myself feeling nostalgic about the one-on-one Jewish education I offered Brian, and also about the article I recently read in the New York Jewish Week about private Jewish tutoring.
The NY Jewish Week cover story explained something I quickly discovered upon moving to Manhattan for rabbinical school over a decade ago. Many families choose to hire private tutors in lieu of Hebrew School. Writer Julie Wiener explains:
As seemingly growing numbers of families in New York and other major metropolitan areas eschew Hebrew schools for the convenience and intimacy of private tutors, many in the organized Jewish world — particularly those active in synagogues — worry that tutoring's individualized approach, part of a larger trend in modern American culture, poses a threat not just to synagogues, but to the very ideals of Jewish community.
The only thing that surprised me about Wiener's article was that it took this long for the topic to make the headlines. At the Jewish Theological Seminary in the late 90's, I had quite a side-business with the various private tutoring jobs I amassed. There was an e-mail list sponsored by the Rabbinical School Student Organization (RSSO). Local Manhattan families would post blurbs about their need for a private tutor for their son or daughter who was too busy to attend Hebrew school at the temple or synagogue, had a learning disability that required an individualized approach, didn't care for the Hebrew School teacher, or didn't get along with the other kids in Hebrew School. In some cases, the parents didn't want to join a temple or synagogue, preferring a do-it-yourself approach instead. In other cases, they didn't want their child to commit to the several hours a week of Hebrew School that was required to become a bar or bat mitzvah because of extracurricular obligations like hockey, soccer, dance, theater, or other tutoring time.
The compensation was great for full-time graduate students in New York City. In most cases, I was paid $80/hour, but tutoring a group of students (i.e., three) was upwards of $125/hour. Many of the jobs were advertised on the e-mail list, but the best tutoring jobs were passed down from graduating rabbinical students to younger rabbinical students.
When my friend and next-door neighbor Mickey Stanger graduated from the Seminary, I inherited several of his students. There was the young boy with ADHD who I tutored weekly for four years. His parents didn't want to renew their membership at the synagogue and the boy's learning disability wasn't handled appropriately by the teachers. In the first couple years, I taught him Hebrew and basic information about Jewish holidays and customs. When he turned twelve, we began to prepare for his bar mitzvah -- an intimate Havdallah service that I created specifically for him (do-it-yourself Judaism).
Those four years created a wonderful relationship not only with the young boy, but also with his parents. He never would have learned as much in a structured classroom, but I was able to personalize the lessons to meet his learning needs. Of course, it could be argued that while this family got what they wanted -- a personalized bar mitzvah ceremony that perfectly fitted their son's needs -- they did not gain a closer relationship to a synagogue community or a rabbi as they would have with the traditional Hebrew School and bar mitzvah path.
There was also the group of three rowdy boys I tutored weekly around the kitchen table. They would have been thrown out of their Hebrew School classroom each week for their disruptive behavior, but I was able to reach them through various techniques that would have been impossible for a teacher in a classroom. I also tutored a young girl in Hebrew reading. Sitting in her parents' multi-million dollar brownstone, I became the family's rabbi often finding myself counseling the parents through their bitter divorce. While I usually found myself walking into vast, beautiful Upper East Side apartments to a team of nannies, maids, and other tutors, it was not just the wealthy who engaged tutors. Some families, as the NY Jewish Week article explains, are either allergic to shul membership or found it was more cost effective to forgo Hebrew School tuition for private tutoring.
JTS Professor Jack Wertheimer is quoted in the NY Jewish Week article. He "wonders how well private programs can socialize young Jews to feel part of a congregation. One of the great advantages of Jewish children being educated in schools is that they are exposed to different types of Jewish role models. They see the rabbi, they see their teachers, they see other adults engaged in Jewish living. The private route limits the exposure of young people."
In the article, Rabbi Laurie Phillips, director of education at Congregation Habonim, likens Jewish studies tutoring to private sports lessons. "You can learn to play soccer with a tutor, but it's a different experience if you're learning one-on-one versus being part of a soccer team. You'll know how to play, but won't know how to be part of a team." I think that's a fair assessment when it comes to tutoring in place of Hebrew School. Unfortunately, because of time constraints there aren't many families who are supplementing Hebrew School with tutors. It's usually an all-or-nothing proposition.
Along with the argument that these children are missing out on the community experience when they are only privately tutored, there is also the case of synagogue membership hurting. Many families join congregations so that their children can attend Hebrew School and become bar or bat mitzvah. When Jewish families in the metropolitan areas opt for private tutoring instead of Hebrew School, it also means they're going the do-it-yourself Judaism route as well and forsaking synagogue membership. That clearly hurts the synagogues.
Nevertheless, it appears that the private Jewish tutoring business is thriving. Some educators have incorporated and run large tutoring businesses for groups and individuals who opt out of the Hebrew School track. Rabbi Reuben Modek's website for his Hebrew Learning Circles program offers private bar and bat mitzvah preparation, as well as cultural and religious education. As if that alone won't infuriate local pulpit rabbis, Modek also advertises that he'll officiate at life-cycle events taking full advantage of the craving for do-it-yourself Judaism.
It's only a matter of time before this coastal and big city trend of private tutoring for those who opt out of Hebrew School makes its way to the "heartland" Jewish communities. Already, in the Metro Detroit area, one former synagogue bar/bat mitzvah tutor has begun advertising in the Detroit Jewish News that he can be hired for private tutoring for those not wishing to attend Hebrew School. Yes, this hurts synagogues, but ultimately let's hope it will make Hebrew Schools improve. Competition often does just that.

"I want this. I can do this. Nobody can stop me." She stared at unblinking eyes. Hard eyes. Dark eyes. She focused so intently on those eyes that everything else seemed to fade.
The effect was ruined as a grin crept across that face.
Alice leaned toward her own reflection. "You've got this," she reassured herself one more time.
She'd always known if she played her cards right she'd be in a position to make changes. Now here she was.
She squared her shoulders as she turned from the mirror, then flicked off the light and left.
Alice took the number 10 cross-town bus and walked the remaining six blocks to her destination. She was glad for a few minutes in the rain-washed air—her confidence had slipped a little as she bounced along on the less-than-pristine city bus. Staring at her own bulbous reflection in the driver's security mirror had her questioning reality.
Her thoughts tumbled end over end as she walked, and she wished she didn't feel like shrinking. But fear didn't stop her. Her glossy Oxfords swung out rhythmically, followed closely by the pin stripes of her trousers. The slight reflection in the wet pavement of the sidewalk followed her precisely, clicking along at an identical energetic gait.
When she reached 1832 Duchess Avenue, she paused to again check her image in the wide brass trim beside the door. She looked warped around the edges, but not overly flushed from her walk. Good.
Alice tugged at the heavy glass entry and stepped inside. Mr. White nodded absently from behind the security desk as he tucked away his pocket watch. The affectation didn't seem out of place considering the man's tidy whiskers.
A green light dinged on, and she took a deep breath as she boarded the elevator. She counted the floors as they passed like a school girl reciting her lessons.
The plush carpeting of the 14th floor absorbed the sound of her footfalls when she stepped out toward T & T Enterprises. The silence tried to make her feel insubstantial, but she shook off the sensation as she approached the receptionist.
"He's expecting me." She didn't wait for an answer from the mousy woman, merely turned toward the gilt-framed mirror on the wall.
She swallowed her nervousness as she eyed her reflection. There would be no going back. She turned when the door opened.
"Alice," Lewis greeted her with a warm handshake. "You're early."
"I've made my decision," she said as he led her past the heavy walnut door into his office.
Once they were alone she spoke in a rush, fearing that any delay might cause her to lose her nerve. "Tell Mr. Hatter I'm going, Lewis," she said. "Through the Looking Glass. Into Wonderland. I can't just see the other side and not act."
From the corner of her eye, she thought she saw him smile.
"I won't let that woman win. I need to take down the Red Queen."

CraftGuide: Quick access to a list of every crafting recipe in the game!
Quick links
It was created as a result of how useful Risugami's RecipeBook is, but how quickly it became a hassle to navigate once you have a hundred pages at the time. RecipeBook has improved greatly since then, though. (In my opinion, the single greatest change was the addition of the scroll wheel as a way to navigate quickly)
To create your own, just place a crafting table in the centre of a crafting grid, put a piece of paper in each corner, and fill in the edges with four books. There is also a keybind to open it without needing an item (defaults to G), which works even if you are playing on a server that doesn't have it installed.
Other useful features include small recipes as well as shapeless recipes having a visually distinct bsckground. Additionally, you can click on an item in a recipe to filter the displayed recipes so that only ones that require or produce that item will be shown (In this case, books). Use the clear button to go back to seeing them all.
One of the more recent features is a searchable list of items, to quickly filter out unrelated recipes.
Just right click while holding it, to see every crafting recipe in the game.
To navigate the list, you have a few options:
-The scroll bar: Just click on the slider, and drag it up or down to quickly scroll through the list.
-The up/down buttons: Quickly navigate one or ten pages at a time with the buttons above and below the scroll bar.
-Keyboard shortcuts: Arrow keys, page up, page down, home, and end can all be used if you prefer a keyboard over a mouse. Up/Down arrow keys scroll one line at a time, Left/Right and Page up/Page down go by pages, and Home/End can be used to immediately jump to the start or end of the list.
-Mouse wheel: If you have one, just spin it to immediately scroll the list! Number of lines scrolled can be configured to suit your preferences.
-Shift: Holding shift while scrolling will multiply the movement by ten!
At the end of the list, you will also find furnace recipes! Only ones that work in a regular furnace, though, and not any special furnace types added by a mod that specifically have their own separate set of recipes, unfortunately.
Some items show a * over the top right corner. That means that it will accept any variation of that item (for example, wool colour or tool damage). Others, with a small F in the top left, represent things in the Forge ore dictionary, which allows mods to use items like copper and tin in their crafting recipes, and have the recipes accept similar resources from *other* mods. A more technical description is that items that show the * accept anything with a specific item ID, even if the data values are different, while ones that show an F accept any specific items that different mods have declared interchangable (each of which may or may not accept any data value).
At the bottom left corner, there is a small triangle. Clicking and dragging it will allow you to resize the entire GUI. This is especially useful if you have a lot of space around the edges, allowing you to see often four or more columns of recipes at once.
Future plans:
Right now, I'm working on a fairly significant rewrite, to make it easier to set the appearance of things (anyone wanting to re-skin CraftGuide will be extremely happy), and more distant plans include adding an in-game settings menu so that anything in CraftGuide.cfg can be easily changed, without needing a text editor, or having to restart Minecraft to see the effects. Also, at some point I should really add a way to create a custom list of recipes, such as things that you often use, as a quick reference.
- If you don't have it yet, install either Minecraft Forge, or LiteLoader. I haven't tested it with every version, but it probably works for most of the recent ones. As of 1.6.1, CraftGuide only requires FML, which is included in Forge and also available as a standalone download.
- Download a CraftGuide version for whichever loader you chose.
- Place the downloaded .zip or .litemod file into .minecraft/mods/
Current version: 18.104.22.168 (No relation to the Minecraft version)
General Download Pages:
- Curse.com
- uristqwerty.ca (Experimental)
Minecraft 1.7.10, 1.8.9, 1.9.4, and 1.10.2 (and maybe miscellaneous versions in between):
- There are currently no alternate download links. Try one of the General Download Pages listed above.

Mod packs and distribution:
Yes. You may include any version of CraftGuide in any modpack.
Videos (and other things):
Yes. You may use CraftGuide in any videos, blog posts, screenshots, podcasts, school courses, university courses, political speeches, religious speeches, novel-length works of fiction, novel-length works of non-fiction, animated feature-length movies, and anything I failed to list earlier that you create or assist in the creation of.
Things for Minecraft 1.2.5 and older
- If you don't have it yet, install Minecraft Forge. I have only tested with 220.127.116.11 and 126.96.36.199, but I suspect it will work for everything later than *.*.*.127.
- Download CraftGuide
- Place the downloaded .zip file into .minecraft/mods/
- Optional: Download an Extra or two! You'll probably want CraftGuide Inventory Search, if you'll be playing SMP with mods, or just don't care to craft an item and carry it with you everywhere.
- If you don't have it yet, install Risugami's ModLoader
- Download CraftGuide
- Place the downloaded .zip file into .minecraft/mods/ -or- copy the contents of the .zip file into your minecraft.jar
- Optional: Download an Extra or two! You'll probably want QuickGuide, if you'll be playing SMP with mods, or just don't care to craft an item and carry it with you everywhere.

Here are some optional mods that enhance the abilities of CraftGuide. Note that you already need a compatible version of CraftGuide for them to do anything (except crash, for some of them), these just add to it.
CraftGuide Inventory Search:
This works like QuickGuide, except it has the added feature that, if you have an inventory open with your cursor over an item, pressing the CraftGuide key will open CraftGuide, automatically filtering to that item.
- CraftGuideInv for Minecraft 1.2.5 (Direct Link)
QuickGuide (Only for CraftGuide 1.4.4 and earlier):
Adds a configurable key to open the crafting guide screen without needing a special item. Works in SMP. This provides an early SMP option (no server mod required!), as well as giving you a choice of how you use it, wither as an actual item, or merely a quick reference that you don't have to change windows to a web browser to use. (Note: In SMP, it shows every recipe from mods that YOU have installed, not what the server has)
- QuickGuide for Minecraft 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 (Direct Link)
- QuickGuide for Minecraft 1.2.3 (Direct Link)
- QuickGuide for Minecraft 1.1.0 (Direct Link)
- QuickGuide for Minecraft 1.0.0 (AdCraft, AdF.ly, Direct Link)
- QuickGuide for Minecraft Beta 1.8.1 (AdCraft, AdF.ly, Direct Link)
Adds every potion brewing recipe it can find (anything that can be reached from water, with any combination of ingredients). Warning: VERY thorough, it adds nearly 1000 recipes on it's own, with only the ingredients found in unmodded Minecraft!
- BrewGuide for Minecraft 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 (Direct Link)
- BrewGuide for Minecraft 1.2.3 (Direct Link)
- BrewGuide for Minecraft 1.1.0 (Direct Link)
- BrewGuide for CraftGuide 1.3.0 and up (AdCraft, AdF.ly, Direct Link)
CraftHide (Has no effect on CraftGuide 1.5.0):
With this, you can exclude all recipes containing (a) specific item ID(s).
Note: For more advanced users, as you will have to add 256 (or 2048) to item IDs, because Minecraft bumps them all up to make room for block items. First try +256, it should be the one that most people need.
- CraftHide for Minecraft 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 (Direct Link)
- CraftHide for Minecraft 1.2.3 (Direct Link)
- CraftHide for Minecraft 1.1.0 (Direct Link)
- CraftHide for CraftGuide 1.3.0 and up (Direct Link)
For other modders:
I'm starting to work on an API (probably misunderstanding the definition of "API", though). It isn't anywhere close to complete, so I might end up renaming anything at any time.
For now, though:
If you don't want to include any files at all, you can use reflection to do some simple tasks.
Right now, "net.minecraft.src.CraftGuide.ReflectionAPI" has a static method "public static void addFilter(Object callback)" that can be used to register an object that gets a chance to decide if each recipe should be discarded. To do so, it must have a method "public Boolean allowRecipe(ItemStack[] recipeItems)" or "public Boolean allowRecipe(ItemStack craftingType, ItemStack[] recipeItems)"
More capabilities will be added as requested or whenever I feel like it.
Regular API:
Turns out the old one was broken. So, a heavily altered (and working) API: download (1.3.0 and up), download (1.4.0 and up), download (1.4.3 and up) (only change was removing some imports that shouldn't have been there in the first place), download (1.4.4 and up)
Well, you'll need to use reflection to inform CraftGuide that your mod provides and/or filters recipes, though the API includes a class you can extend that does it for you.
Using the provided class, you just extend it, implementing IRecipeProvider, IRecipeFilter, and/or IRecipeFilter2, and create an instance of your class. The base class will automatically register itself with CraftGuide (if it exists, otherwise silently do nothing), and will be called at the appropriate time(s) based on what interfaces it implements.
One working example would be BrewGuide, which uses the API to add all brewing recipes (that it can find) to CraftGuide. You can get it's source here.

- Bugfixes. Lots of bugfixes.
- Buildcraft assembly table and refinery recipes
- GregTech lathe and plate cutter recipes
- Extra config options: default keybind and theme debug output
- Did I mention bugfixes?
- There are probably still bugs that need to be fixed, though.
- Bugfixes
- Minecraft 1.6.2
- Bugfixes
- Extended Workbench recipes
- GregTech plasma generator
- IC2 Massfab amplifier value in tooltips
- Variable row heights (having a few taller than average recipes won't affect ALL of the rows)
- Fixed some bugs (and procrastinated a lot)
- Lots of bugfixes
- Lots of GregTech machines
- Removed Depreciated APIs
- More GregTech machines
- Performance enhancement with GregTech and text searching
- Bugfixes
- A little more network code for BWR.
- Show furnace, IC2 generator, and IC2 storage/power values for appropriate items in tooltips
- Include recipes for the serverside BTW mod "Better With Renewables". Only shows if a config option is set or if a message from BWR is detected on connect.
- Fix: Shows IC2 shapeless recipes (were overlooked originally)
- Added GregTech Implosion Compressor recipes.
- GregTech fusion reactor recipes show initial startup EU cost
- GregTech blast furnace recipes show required temperature
- Added IC2 and GregTech recipes
- Two new slot implementations in the API. One adds additional probability information (may be useful for Railcraft, Factorization, and Thermal Expansion recipes, among others), and one for IC2 EU
- Bugfixes and polish
- Fixed a bad crash.
- Internal reorganization, now it is set up to make both the FML and modloader versions at the same time
- Updated for Minecraft 1.4.4
- BTW recipe support added to main build (previously was a separate build, posted elsewhere)
- Various bugfixes (appeared in 126.96.36.199 through 220.127.116.11)
- Finally added toggles for whether it searched for items in the input, output, and/or machines of a recipe.
- Added to the API, just a little bit.
- Texturepacks can override/add themes
- Cleaned up existing themes, removing the test ones.
- Added a "dark" theme. Currently the only way to use it is to edit .minecraft/config/CraftGuide/themes/currentTheme.txt, and change the text from base_texpack to dark. It is checked every time you open CraftGuide, so you don't need to restart Minecraft.
- Added a lot more options to themes, they can specify quite a bit more now.
- Added a fourth number to the version. This automatically increments whenever I create a non-test-build build of CraftGuide (such as for minor bugfixes)
- Text searches: On the item list, after you have typed a few letters, press enter or click the extra entry that appears to search for text rather than any specific item
- Added color to the resize handle, hopefully making it easier to notice (since it seems that some people never realized it was there, and it's a fairly significant part of what makes CraftGuide unique compared to other recipe viewers)
- First official version to include the finished new API. The old API still mostly works, and so does the WIP API, so that mods that interacted with CraftGuide continue to work unmodified.
- New theme system, making it easier to change how CraftGuide looks without replacing the images in the .zip. At the moment, it isn't quite used for everything, yet, but that will change over time.
- Option to disable the keybind
- Moved the config file, the themes/skins, and CraftGuide.log. Now all of them are placed in .minecraft/config/CraftGuide/, so that they don't clutter the rest of the minecraft directory.
- A lot of changes to the WIP API, finally most of it has an effect
- Fixed a few bugs
- Quick port to Minecraft 1.3.2
- Better visual feedback for type selection
- BrewGuide and QuickGuide functionality included in main mod.
- Removed RP2 Alloy furnace support (temporarily, until I can test it against a 1.3.2 RP2)
- Various bugfixes (Tooltip sometimes drawing behind other things, sometimes being too wide, items that draw as ERR or have no text for data -1 try data 0, perhaps others)
- Removed fake key repeat, now uses LWJGL's
- Option to always show ID and data values for items
- Support for the newer forge ore dictionary format
- Moved everything to a new package (Left the old API behind, plus some code to let it continue working even though I'm going to be making significant changes to the new one)
- API change: Added javadoc
- API change: Added two new classes, allowing larger (or smaller) recipes (yay, 4x4 crafting grid support!), and a way to force CraftGuide to reload all recipes, if your mod adds, removes, or alters them during the game.
- Include Forge metadata-sensitive smelting recipes when present
- Some other small changes
- Fixed two more bugs
- Various bug fixes/stability improvements
- A clear button to quickly clear the item list search

- Shows the filter item, when there is one
- Filtering works a bit better (Technical: Properly treats damage -1 as a wildcard value)
- Shows a * over any place an item will accept any damage value
- API work
- Bugfix: output quantities weren't showing.
- Filtering
- Different backgrounds for small (2x2 or less) and shapeless recipes

If you want to make a custom version of CraftGuide, use bits of its code, or just see how it works, you can find the source code on Github.
If you want to use some (or all) of it in your own project, you are free to do so, though it would be nice if you mentioned CraftGuide in a text file or somewhere else where someone can find it.
You can find the current source of the CraftGuide API on Github. It can be used to add, remove, or alter the recipes displayed by CraftGuide (not actually affecting crafting, just what is shown in the CraftGuide GUI).
A JAR containing just the API (source and non-obfuscated binaries) is also available: CraftGuide_API.jar
If you need help using it, or have ideas on how to improve the API, please send me a PM or some other form of communication.
