Formatting Original Research
Typically an original research paper builds on the existing research on a topic, addresses a specific question, presents the findings according to a standard structure (described below), and suggests questions to be investigated in the future.
Though writers in any discipline may conduct original research, scientists and social scientists in particular are interested in controlled investigation and inquiry. Their research often consists of direct and indirect observation in the laboratory or in the field. Many scientific papers are written to investigate a hypothesis (a statement to be tested.)
Although the precise order of research elements may vary somewhat according to the specific task, most include the following elements:
- Title page
- Abstract
- Table of content
- List of illustrations
- Body of the report
- Appendix
- References cited
Check your assignment for guidance on which formatting style is required. This page from the Purdue OWL provides information on the most common style guide for each discipline, but be sure to check with your instructor.
Title Page
The title of your work is important. It draws the reader to your text. Data base retrieval systems often work with keywords extracted from the title or from a list the author supplies. When possible, incorporate them into the title. Select these words with consideration of how prospective readers might attempt to access your document.
Table of Contents
The table of contents provides the reader the outline and location of specific aspects of your document. Listings in the table of contents typically match the headings in the paper. The main document and subsequent pages are counted with Arabic numerals. The table of contents and elements of the paper prior to the main text are usually numbered with lower case roman numerals.
List of Illustrations
A listing of illustrations is typically included with longer documents. Under headings such as "List of Illustrations" or "List of Tables" are listed number, title, and page number of each illustration.
Body of the Report
The tone of a report based on original research will be objective and formal, and the writing should be concise and direct. The structure is likely to consist of these standard sections: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. Sections are typically identified and subdivided with headings.
Introduction: Given what the field says about this topic, here is my contribution to this line of inquiry.
In the introduction, you will define and clarify the state of the topic by citing key literature that has laid the groundwork for this investigation. This review of the literature will identify relations, contradictions, gaps, and inconsistencies between previous investigations and this one, and suggest the next step in the investigation chain, which will be your hypothesis. The introduction will be written in the present tense because it is ongoing information.
Methods (Procedures): This is how I collected and analyzed the information.
This section recounts the procedures of the study. It will be written in past tense because you have already completed the study. It must include what is necessary to replicate and validate the hypothesis. What details must the reader know in order to replicate this study? What were your purposes in this study? The challenge in this section is to understand the possible readers well enough to include what is necessary without going into detail on commonly known information. Results should not be recounted in this section.
Results: This is what I found out from my research.
This section reports the findings from your research. Because this section is about research that is completed, it is written primarily in the past tense. The form and level of detail of the results depends on the hypothesis and goals of this report, and the needs of your audience. Visuals are often used in the results section, but they should enhance, rather than substitute for your narrative of results. Develop a narrative and visuals that cite key findings which address your hypothesis. Include any unusual findings that will clarify the data.
Discussion: This is what the findings mean in this situation and in terms of the literature more broadly.
This section is your opportunity to explain the importance and implications of your research. What is the significance of this research in terms of the hypothesis? In terms of other studies? Incorporate key studies introduced in the review of literature into your discussion. What questions for future research do these findings suggest? Because it is ongoing information, the discussion should be written in the present tense. Sometimes the results and discussion are combined; if so, be certain to give fair weight to both.
Conclusion: These are the key findings gained from this research.
Summarize the key findings of your research effort in this brief final section. This section should not introduce new information.
The appendix includes attachments that are pertinent to the main document but are too detailed to be included in the main text. These materials should be titled and labeled (for example Appendix A: Questionnaire). The appendix needs to be referred to in the text so that the reader understands additional useful information is available elsewhere in the document.

Technically, new Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Titans, according to the final injury report.
But with wideout Stephen Hill (knee) and Dustin Keller (ankle) doubtful, and Clyde Gates questionable after his concussion, the Jets are going to need all the help they can get in the passing game.
Backup quarterback Tim Tebow (ribs) is probable, such that they're going to use him.
The Titans will be without middle linebacker Colin McCarthy (concussion), but the bulk of the players on their injury report are listed as probable, including quarterback Jake Locker, running back Chris Johnson and wide receiver Kenny Britt.

After nearly two years of speculation and less than one week before they debut, prices for insurance plans on the new federally run health-care exchanges were revealed Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
The Department of Health and Human Services released its estimates for insurance coverage options offered on the exchanges that were created under the Affordable Care Act. The average American will be paying $328 per month for mid-tier coverage under the new law, without subsidies.
The data is based on 53 approved insurance plans in 48 states. States with more insurers participating on exchanges had lower and more competitive prices than those with fewer insurers, HHS reported. The department is hoping to sign up seven million Americans in its first full year, which accounts for 2.7 million younger-- and more importantly, healthier--individuals who will help subsidize cost for older and less healthy policyholders.
This broad estimate also does not include subsidy discounts, which will be available for those making up to 400% of the federal poverty Level. For an individual, this tops out at around $45,000 per year, and for a family of four, this cuts off at around $94,000 a year, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. HHS reports this average price is 16% lower than what it had originally projected for premiums, before subsidies.
Open enrollment begins on Oct.1, and ends March 31, 2014, via the ACA's state and federally-run exchanges.
HHS reports that in 15 states, the second-lowest cost plan, referred to as the "silver plan", will be less than $300 a month before tax credits. Young adults will pay lower premiums, the report states, and also have the option of a catastrophic plan that covers prevention, primary care and high costs in case of accident or illness. The lowest average monthly premium for a 27-year-old in 36 states, pre-subsidy, was $129 for a catastrophic plan, $163 for a bronze plan and $203 for a silver plan.
These plans are tiered according to both cost and coverage.
But making apples-to-apples comparisons between the HHS estimates and what policyholders are paying today isn't possible, says Gary Claxton, vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"Some people will be paying more than they are today, because if you buy non-group insurance, you can't move around and if you get sick, your premiums will go way up," Claxton says. "And for people on non-group plans today, they are generally there for a short period of time, and came in when they were relatively healthy and pay less. The people who stay around longer [on non-group plans] are probably not paying the lowest premiums."
Those who are young and healthy and can pass today's medical underwriting process, would likely be paying less at today's rates than they are under the law, without considering subsidies, he says.
"But there are probably fewer mental health benefits, and maybe limits on prescription drugs," he says, because the Affordable Care Act requires insurers to cover 10 essential health benefits for policyholders, including the aforementioned. "There are other limitations that are harder to figure out."
Robert Zirkelbach, American's Health Insurance Providers' director of strategic communications, says the HHS rates are proof that insurers are doing their best to keep coverage costs as low as possible.
"This is all about trying to make coverage affordable," he says, adding that pricing will depend on many factors.
"The impact the reform law has, simply looking at averages doesn't detail how this impacts a particular person in a particular state," he says. "It matters what coverage they have today, their gender, where they live, their health status—all of those particulars."
Also comparing the HHS averages to today's plans doesn't account for the fact that today many are purchasing low-cost premiums with high deductibles, Zirkelbach says.
"It's often just enough [coverage] to protect themselves from medical bankruptcy," he says. "It's dramatically different from [exchange] estimates."

Series: (M89-32, Daniel H. Wiggins Diaries, 1816-1834, 1838-1841, and 1862)
Page 1 of 4
CC (Concerning) the folly and madness of sinners—not long since I heard a man of learning and refinement say that a fiddler for slaves was better than a minister. I was almost horror struck but did not feel at liberty to reprove – now that man is in his grave. We hold no meeting to day for the colored people, but I have appointed a meeting (the Lord wiling) to be held next Sabbath at 3 oclock under the shady trees by my shop. I feel an increasing desire for the salvation of the people. The soul of the slave is of as much value as the soul of the master—yet –? Neglected—too generally they are looked upon as mere beasts of burden—it appears to me that slavery and tirany are almost inseparable and ignorance is the father of them both—surely the devil is the greatest tirant and the greatest slave holder.
. . . . Last night after 12 oclock I woke up and heard the negroes dancing (as is often the case till nearly day on Sunday morn). I fell a sleep again and after a while was woken by the cry of a man as tho in great distress. At first I thought it was some one in liquor and was pretending to be under deep conviction from sin. I heard blows which I took to the sound of an axe—after a while the noise ceased for a moment—and then commenced again. I then discovered the blows to be the sound of a whip and the crying of the man occasioned by the whip. It appears that two strange negroes had come on this place and one without a pass, and the overseer was informed of it and caught them and he and his leader whipt one pretty severely—no doubt justly under existing circumstances they who are bound must obey.

Older Women Are in Luck! Mammograms Work Better for Them — Health Check
Are mammograms actually effective? Several conflicting studies have come out in the past few years, leading some to pose this question. Don't fear though ladies. An even newer study from Dutch researchers indicates that they do work, but older women might be getting more out of them.
For women between 50 and 75 years old, mammogram screenings may reduce the risk of death from breast cancer by almost half.
According to the study, which was published in 'Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention,' women in that age group who had at least three mammograms in the Netherlands national screening program before they were diagnosed with breast cancer were 49 percent less likely to die of the disease overall.
Specifically, women aged 50 to 69 saw a 39 percent reduction in mortality, and women between 70 and 75 had the greatest benefit of 84 percent fewer breast cancer deaths.
US doctors credit the European screening program for the results shown in the study. "It is a well-oiled machine," said Otis Brawley, MD, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. "Here, some women go from one mammography center to another, or they get them done on a van, or old mammograms can't be found for comparison. That doesn't happen in the Dutch system."
He added, "These results do make us all feel good about our recommendations for screening women in their 50′s and 60′s… it does show that screening does save lives."

Romania crushed the competition Saturday in Bucharest at a quadrangular match against France, Germany and Italy.
New star Larisa Iordache led Romania to a team total of 180.20, more than 10 points ahead of Italy's 169.45. Germany was third with 167.30, while fourth-place France struggled with 160.15. Romania had the top score on every event but uneven bars, where the German gymnasts edged their hosts by .05.
The Romanian women's total was nearly 4 points above their winning total at May's European championships in Brussels, where they amassed 176.288. In Bucharest they scored an incredible 47.05 total on balance beam and 45.40 on floor exercise, where they debuted new routines. They tallied just 42.60 on uneven bars, which remains the team nemesis.
Iordache scored 60.85, including the day's highest mark of 15.95 for her beam routine (nailed ff full; double turn; front aerial, ff, layout; kickover front; switch leap, back tuck; side somi; ro, ff, triple twist). She scored well on vault (video) and floor (video), despite bouncy landings. Her only break came on uneven bars, where she had to improvise after her Maloney to back uprise pirouette came up short (video).
2008 Olympic floor exercise champion Sandra Izbasa impressed with a 59.15 all-around total, including scores of 15.10 on vault (video) and floor exercise (video). Three-time Olympic champion Catalina Ponor notched 15.00 on vault and floor (video), and 15.70 on balance beam for a wobble-free set (video).
2006 world champion Vanessa Ferrari had the third best individual total, leading Italy to second and tying Izbasa for the second-best score on floor exercise (double-double, trendy full-in to back tuck).
German champion Elisabeth Seitz was fourth with the top score on uneven bars.
Held on podium with Gymnova equipment, the event served as a final competitive warm-up just 20 days before the Olympic Games officially begin in London.
"I'm satisfied overall," Romanian coach Mariana Bitang said. "It could be better, but it was not bad. First, it's important that we installed the equipment in a manner almost identical to what we will have in London. We made a special effort in this regard, we all worked to prepare the competition hall in the same way. Moreover, our guests were all delighted with this, since they could also use it to prepare. The equipment is the same brand that the national team trains on, but how it is installed matters a lot for final adjustments."

Twitter May Face Sisyphean Challenge in Protected Speech Battle
Jul 20, 2012 8:00 AM PT
Twitter indicated Thursday that it will appeal a decision by New York County Criminal Court Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. that the microblogging site must hand over a user's posts. The case stems from an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney regarding the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011 -- in particular, one that occurred in October, when protestors blocked the Brooklyn Bridge.
How the case is resolved could have major implications for what constitutes speech in the social media realm and how it is protected.
What OWS Protestors Tweeted
The DA requested information about Brooklyn resident Malcolm Harris, one of the 700 protesters arrested that day on charges of disorderly conduct. Specifically, the DA was seeking Harris' tweets from two days prior to the protest through the end of the year.
Twitter refused to turn them over and sought to quash the subpoena, citing the First Amendment. It called the tweets users post on the site a clear form of electronic communication that "implicates First Amendment protections."
The judge disagreed, saying that Twitter users -- Harris, in this case -- did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, likening a post on the site to screaming out a window.
Twitter's legal counsel Benjamin Lee, announced the company's appeal in a tweet: "It doesn't strike the right balance between the rights of users and the interests of law enforcement."
The case has another moving part to it -- Harris had tried to quash the DA's subpoena. However, in an earlier ruling, it was found he didn't have the standing to make that request.
The First Amendment Question
Clearly, the First Amendment issue and how it should be applied to this form of communication is at the center of this legal skirmish.
Electronic communications on the Internet is still a relatively new area for the courts and therefore most cases that touch on such issues have First Amendment implications, said Steven Goldberg, who teaches constitutional law at Pace Law School.
In other industries -- such as telecommunications or television broadcasting -- the technology has been established and many legal issues already hashed out in previous cases.
"The courts can't just turn to previous cases and say, 'this is a phone company, so this principle applies,'" Goldberg told TechNewsWorld.
Precisely because there is a gray area, both government and First Amendment rights advocates take every skirmish seriously, Jacob S. Frenkel, partner with Shulman Rogers, told TechNewsWorld.
"The issues are significant -- a case like this highlights the tug-of-war between social media communications and their natural informality with the compelling need that law enforcement has for information that bears on an investigation," he said.
Law enforcement authorities have a voracious appetite for any kind of communication that can help build a case, Frenkel continued, and it is little surprise that they have glommed onto the treasure trove that is social media.
"If there is no identifiable constitutional protection that would label the 'speech' confidential, the government wants to see it," he said.
A Limited Play
However,freedom of speech advocates appear to be slowly losing ground in this struggle. Twitter lost the first round in this fight. Another is email, "which does not enjoy a heightened level of privacy by the courts," Frenkel said. "Essentially, all of these cases are about extending First Amendment principles to new forms of mass or social media communications."
However, it doesn't appear that the courts want to go very far in that direction, he concluded.
"I think Twitter will have a hard time succeeding with this case," Goldberg said, "mainly because the courts have been leery about expanding the definition of 'public forum.'"

The bird collections at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County consist of some 115,000 specimens, prepared as skins, skeletons, fluid-preserved specimens, and taxidermy mounts; many also have associated frozen tissue samples. These specimens represent over 5,400 of the world's 10,000 plus bird species. We also maintain ancillary collections of photographs and field notes and a small synoptic collection of bird eggs. We use the abbreviation LACM (Los Angeles County Museum) for our collections.
Our collections are global in scope, but the most extensive coverage is for North America (including over 23,000 specimens from California), South America (including 13,686 from Argentina and 10,862 from Brazil), and Africa (including 10,097 from Kenya and 9,460 from Uganda); we also house over 5,500 specimens from the Pacific Ocean islands and pelagic waters.
Some of the major groups of birds that are particularly well-represented in the collections are:
|Family Name
|Common Name
|Number of Specimens
|petrels and shearwaters
|gulls and terns
|pigeons and doves
|ovenbirds, woodcreepers
|Formicariidae sensu lato
|tyrant flycatchers
|New World nine-primaried songbirds
|estrildid finches
Study Skins
Study skins (~97,000) are traditional "stuffed" bird skins, prepared for ease of storage, examination, and comparison. Many have additional partial (body) skeletons and/or frozen tissue samples.
Flat Skins
Flat skins (~2000) are skins ("pelts") of birds that are stored open rather than stuffed; nearly all have an associated complete skeleton. Flat skins are ideal for the study of molt, feather tracts, and spread wings.
Skeletons (~12,300 complete, 2000 partial) are generally disarticulated and stored in boxes; they are invaluable for work on fossils and on bird remains from archaeological sites, as well as for studies of taxonomy and functional morphology.
Frozen Tissues
Since the mid-1980s we have routinely preserved samples of tissues (usually breast muscle, liver, and heart muscle) from specimens that we prepare; these tissues (~3,300) are stored in cryogenic tubes in freezers and are available for subsampling for studies of DNA or other molecular work.
Taxidermy Mounts
Taxidermy mounts(~2000) are prepared to look lifelike, and are especially useful for education and exhibit purposes. Many older mounts (such as many of our endemic Hawaiian bird specimens) have complete associated data and are important for research. Over 600 bird mounts are currently on exhibit in the Ralph W. Schreiber Hall of Birds.
Many systematic collections of birds have important collections of bird eggs, generally preserved and stored as empty complete egg shells. The Natural History Museum's collection of bird eggs, originally from the Hancock Foundation at the University of Southern California, has been transferred to the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology in Camarillo. We presently maintain only a small comparative collection of bird eggs.
Fluid-preserved Specimens
Fluid-preserved specimens or "alcoholic" specimens (~2950) are birds preserved whole in fluid, usually "fixed" with formalin then stored in 70% ethanol. They are used primarily for the study of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, organs).
The LACM collections database is accessible through ORNIS (ORNithological Information System), a distributed database with over 40 searchable data providers. To search our collection database, visit: http://www.ornisnet.org
When searching our database in ORNIS, keep in mind that data in some fields have not been verified and that identifications, particularly at the level of subspecies, are often tentative. For queries about data quality, confirmation of identifications and label data, and other details, please contact the Collections Manager.
View PDF of Ornithology Collections Policies >
General Information for Collection Users
The ornithology collections of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from the use our specimens, tissues, and associated data. We ask that researchers provide us with a reprint or PDF of any publications that result in any part from the use of our specimens and associated data. The standard abbreviation for our collections is "LACM."
Collection Visits
To visit the ornithological research collections, please make an appointment with the Collections Manager. The collections are open to all qualified researchers, including amateur ornithologists, bird artists, and others who need to refer to museum collections for their work. However, because of our need to conserve the collections for future use, we must strictly control collection access. With advance notice collection visits can usually be accommodated during normal weekday business hours, but must be arranged around the schedule of the single collections staff person.
Specimen Loans
Loans of specimens from the research collections are made to qualified researchers at other museums, academic institutions and governmental agency collections that have the facilities to properly store loaned specimens. Although the loaned specimens are for the use of individual researchers, the loans themselves are made to the institution where they will be housed. We cannot make loans to individuals, commercial organizations, or studios. We do not maintain a teaching collection; educators who may need mounted bird specimens for classroom use may consider the Museum's Member Loan Services.
Loan requests should be made in writing to the Collections Manager and are subject to the approval of the Curator. Loans for undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students must be cosigned by the requester's major professor.
Loans are made for a period of one year, subject to renewal. Additional loan conditions are outlined on the Specimen Invoice accompanying each loan; the Specimen Invoice is to be signed and returned upon receipt of the loan material
We generally do not make loans of holotypes or of specimens from taxa for which we house fewer than five specimens; the latter may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. If a request is made for a loan of all of our specimens of a given taxon, we will make the loan in installments, with the second (and subsequent) installments sent upon successful return of previous installments.
We generally will not make specimen loans to institutions outside of the United States because of frequent changes and increasing complexities in requirements of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and United States Department of Agriculture. If international loans are approved, they may incur inspection fees that will be the responsibility of the borrower.
Tissue Grants
Requests for grants of small amounts of tissue from the samples in our avian tissue collection must be made in writing to the Collections Manager and are subject to approval by the Curator. Such requests should outline clearly the proposed study, demonstrate the ability of the requesting individual's laboratory to successfully perform the needed analyses, and justify why the requested tissues from our collection are required for the study.
Tissue collections accompanied by museum specimen vouchers are costly and labor intensive to make, store, and conserve. We therefore request that the requesting researchers demonstrate their active participation in the building of systematic collections of bird specimens, including tissue collections; for those requesters who cannot demonstrate this, we reserve the right to deny tissue grants or to request the payment of fees to cover our costs.
Destructive Sampling
On a case by case basis, the Museum may grant permission to researchers to take small samples of skin, toe pads, or feathers from study skins or bone from skeletal specimens for specific research projects on genetics, molecular systematics, stable isotopes, or other areas of inquiry. We require a formal proposal, on institutional letterhead, signed by a curator or professor in charge; the proposal must outline the goals and techniques of the research, the need for the specific samples requested, the track record of the requesting laboratory in accomplishing studies using the proposed sampling techniques, and a detailed plan for archiving sequence data and other molecular data. Proposals are reviewed by the Curator and Collections Manager. As with proposals for use of frozen tissue samples and spirit specimen dissection, we prefer that the requesting researchers demonstrate active participation in building systematic collections of bird specimens.
Spirit Specimen dissection
Our collection of birds preserved in fluid is available to qualified researchers for anatomical studies and other use involving dissection and sampling. Proposals for their use are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Curator and Collections Manager. All parts of the dissected specimen are to be returned to LACM. As with proposals for use of frozen tissue samples or for destructive sampling of skins or skeletons, we prefer that the requesting researchers demonstrate active participation in building systematic collections of bird specimens.
The building of systematics collections is labor intensive, and storing a growing collection puts pressure on scarce resources such as space, staff and volunteer time, and budgets. Even though all avian specimens with provenance data have potential utility, we must add to our collections selectively, emphasizing taxa, regions, and preparation techniques that strategically enhance their scientific value, or that support specific or ongoing studies. We generally add 300 to 500 bird specimens per year through salvage, donations from zoos, and field collecting. These additions increase our sample sizes of relatively common birds and allow us to add to the depth and taxonomic breadth of our skin, skeleton, alcoholic, and tissue collections.
The possession and transport of native nongame birds is highly regulated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. We are required to possess a battery of current, valid permits for salvaging, collecting and transporting such birds and for maintaining them in our collections. At our discretion, we will accept birds salvaged by members of the public. If you might be in a position to salvage dead birds, please contact the Collections Manager to discuss our collection needs and the permit requirements for salvaging native bird species.

Modulation of the thiol-disulfide status of critical cysteine residues on proteins
is becoming recognized as an important mechanism of oxidative signal transduction
as well as an important consequence of oxidative stress associated with aging and
various disease states, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases,
diabetes, AIDS, and cancer. Within these various contexts, a prevalent form of cysteine
modification is reversible formation of protein mixed disulfides (protein-SSG) with
intracellular glutathione (GSH).
Our laboratory is focused on the molecular mechanisms and physiological implications
of enzymes that catalyze thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase (TDOR) reactions. In particular,
we have characterized glutaredoxin (thioltransferase) as the TDOR enzyme that displays
specificity and high catalytic efficiency for protein-SSG substrates, including
hemoglobin-SSG, NF1-SSG, HIV-protease-SSG, and actin-SSG. This realization has placed
made glutaredoxin a focal point in advancing understanding of protein-S-glutathionylation
as a regulatory mechanism akin to phosphorylation of proteins. We are employing
a range of cellular, molecular, and structural biology approaches to delineate the
molecular basis for glutaredoxin catalysis and its role in regulation of fundamental
cellular processes like proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. A key objective
in our research program is to characterize also the mechanisms of formation of specific
protein-SSG intermediates and identify the enzymes responsible for catalyzing these
reactions within cells. We are also focused on delineating changes in the regulation
of protein-SSG status of specific effector proteins associated with the various
disease states that involve oxidative stress.

If you're using a PC, you may want to make sure your Java is up to date. Yesterday, Holly Stewart, of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, highlighted the "unprecedented" number of Java exploits that have occurred in 2010. In her blog post, Stewart said the Java attacks have spiked from under 300,000 at the beginning of the year to well over 6 million, and growing. The main problems: Java is used ever more frequently, threats are hard to detect, and users aren't upgrading to fix security holes.
"Java is ubiquitous, and, as was once true with browsers and document readers like Adobe Acrobat, people don't think to update it," writes Stewart. "On top of that, Java is a technology that runs in the background to make more visible components work. How do you know if you have Java installed or if it's running?"
The majority of exploits center around three particular vulnerabilities, all of which have fixes available for download. But is the company doing enough to stop these threats? Brian Krebs, a security reporter, thinks Sun, and parent company Oracle, have been given a free pass.
"Adobe has taken some lumps over the past year for the number of critical vulnerabilities that hackers have found and exploited in its software," said Krebs on his blog last week. "But for some reason, Java seems to get a pass from the tech and security press, even though Java flaws consistently are found to be the most useful for attackers who wield these automated exploit kits."
Krebs also points out that Java's updater only checks for updates once every two weeks, and often fails to detect if a new version is available.
On October 12, Oracle released a massive patch that fixes 29 bugs and security holes in Java. That patch can be downloaded here.

At least for networking the Tx and Rx paths are quite different in what operations they do and especially how many interrupts they need (due to possible interrupt mitigation, in either driver or hardware); I think that for the SCSI stack used to talk to a FC controller the situation is quite similar. So, I think that a test that would better aproximate the NFS read case would be: - run the local reading test on the server (using dd) - run at the same time a network speed test (using f.e. ttcp) which sends data from the server to a client The slowing down that you mention above as happening at 4GB looks to me like the server's memory used for caching fills up and the writing to disk is then forced; so it's not the 4GB file-size that is changing behaviour, but the caching that doesn't help anymore. If you want to better test the behaviour, try running on a client bonnie++ with a file size of 8GB or more (although the client's memory size could also play a role in caching). >> 50: 69688 963247 1227309 270953 IO-APIC-level qla2xxx >> 58: 15112 96722 96347 7613 IO-APIC-level qla2xxx >> 66: 47398161 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level eth0 Seems like the interrupts for the NIC go to only one CPU, while the ones for the FC controller are spread among CPUs. I think that memory locality effects come into play here and reduce the speed.

A marble fountain, lush garden with a sit-out arrangement or a lounge area with a swimming pool is what you might see once you open the window of your room. The mixture of culture, comfort and luxury with home like hospitality is what makes the homestay experience memorable. Suryaa Pratap Singh and his wife Suman Kanwar with their Rajput family heritage play the role of ideal hosts for those interested in staying in the capital city of Rajasthan. Both Suryaa and Suman, with their interesting backgrounds and experience in the hospitality industry like interacting with guests and are always willing to talk about their family background, culture, history, heritage of Jaipur and various issues in modern India. Suryaa, a sports enthusiast and Suman are interesting people who like to share their evening chats with their guests.
This homestay is a big residential building with big spacious rooms and attached bathrooms. Each room has a color theme of its own with all basic facilities. The marble floor, colorful linen with traditional prints, wrought iron bed and furniture gives an ethnic yet contemporary feel to the rooms. The most interesting spot in the house is the lounge area which also includes a swimming pool. It is here where one can take a dip in its cool water followed by a drink with an interesting book to read. Jaipur boasts a rich tradition of customs and rituals. Providing backdrops are the forts of Amber, Nahargarh, Jaigarh, and Moti Doongri. It is interesting to observe how its streets accommodate cars and other vehicles alongside camel carts, rickshaws and how one can still see localities in their colorful traditional attire keeping the culture alive. Jaipur is not all about heritage,it is a new face of modern India for everyone to see and explore. The Villa awaits your presence to let you experience both.

How Mitt Romney had 'whole binders of women' for staff positions as governor
Romney, Obama court female voters during debate
WASHINGTON – In the debate on Tuesday night, Mitt Romney said that he made every effort to find qualified women to appoint to cabinet positions when he was governor of Massachusetts.
"Well, gosh,'' he said he told his staff who had an abundance of male applicants, "Can't we find some — some women that are also qualified?''
"I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?''' Romney added. "And they brought us whole binders full of women.''
Romney's story isn't entirely accurate.
Those "binders full of women'' actually came from a coalition called Massachusetts Government Appointments Project, or MassGAP, that had formed in August 2002 to address the shortage of women in high-ranking government positions. They had started assembling groups of applicants, taking several months to reach out to women's organizations around the state and preparing to present potential hires to whichever candidate won the election.
"We contacted both candidates before the final election,'' said Liz Levin, who was chairman of MassGAP until 2010. "This was an effort that we put our hearts in. We wanted to make sure that people knew how many good, qualified, terrific ladies there were.''
Romney agreed to work with the group, Levin said, and he appointed Kerry Healey, the incoming lieutenant governor, to be the liaison to MassGAP. Several weeks after the election, they presented several hundred applicants to Healey, said Levin, who is an Obama supporter but stressed that MassGAP is a bipartisan group.
And yes, there were binders.
"There were actual binders involved,'' Levin said. "Big binders. They were big. It was before stuff was done, like it is now, electronically.''
The binders had several tabs, she said, dividing the applicants into different areas of state government, such as education, transportation, or public safety.
Romney did have several women in prominent positions — such as Beth Myers, as chief of staff, or Healey, as lieutenant governor – and he made an effort to hire more women.
Midway through his four-year term, 42 percent of his 33 new appointments were women, according to a study done by the UMass Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy using some of the data collected by MassGAP.
But over the next two years, women made up only 25 percent of the 64 new appointments Romney made. By the end of his term, the number of women in high-ranking positions was slightly lower than it was before Romney took office.

UH Manoa College of Education technology group extends servicesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
College of Education
Melissa Venable, (808) 956-9067
College of Education
The College of Education's Distance Course Design and Consulting Group (DCDC), established at UH Manoa in January 2008, is expanding its services.
While the DCDC began as part of a federal grant, the group is working to become self-funded through its instructional design, online course development, and multimedia services.
The DCDC collaborates with the Department of Educational Technology and the Office of Technology and Distance Programs (TDP), both in the UH Manoa College of Education, and is currently working on projects for the Department of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science and the School of Travel Industry Management.
"The DCDC team is diverse and multitalented," said Melissa Venable, Instructional Designer and Project Manager of DCDC. "Members have professional experience ranging from programming and graphic design to online instruction and copy editing."
Projects are intended for delivery via the Laulima (Sakai) Learning Management System; however, the content and overall look and feel of the courses can easily be adapted to other learning management systems. The DCDC also redesigns websites and online course materials; converts face-to-face courses to online versions; and develops interactive quizzes, games, and tutorials.
Paul McKimmy, Director of TDP, noted, "The most exciting aspect of the DCDC is its systems approach, using specialists in instructional design and media development so instructors do not have to be technical experts, designers, developers, and subject matter experts rolled into one."
The group's design and development goals include maintaining a focus on learning objectives and appropriate standards, creating products that are reusable and flexible, using open-source tools and open education resources wherever available and appropriate, and taking a team approach in working with a content expert.

I am a boutique Wall & Floor Tiler. I have been tiling for many years, i am happy with the reputation that i have built in my town, and i would like to simply update my appearance. We take on projects that most people in our community can't. Project challenges range from massive tiles right down to stupidly expensive tiny mosaics. I love the challenge and the feeling of viewing my completed work. I love hearing from my clients that they are wrapped, and that they are glad they trusted me with their home/project.
Architects, designers, pool builders and luxury home builders. I also am quite happy to do work for regular consumers. Many of my clients are very successful, and like beautiful things.
Attached is my existing logo. I would simply like an upgrade, a 'facelift' - something to take me into 2011/2012.
- Please work with the existing blue 'T' if you can.
- Please work with the 'TILE BY DESIGN' font or similar if you can also
- Please feel free to experement with adding deep charcoal and grey colours also.
Keeping in mind that this is a facelift maybe add an architectural feel to it.

INTELLIJAM needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Goethe's House is the only german museum in a foreign country. It is located in Rome, in the house where Goethe lived during his stay in the city. The museum houses a permanent exhibition and temporary exhibitions as well as cultural events, presentations and conferences. It is not only a museum but a meeting place of art and culture.
The museum also houses a library and produces some publications.
The online presence of the museum aims to present the activity, to attract new visitors (individual or groups) to promote and sell publications.
museum visitors and institutional users
The home page should have references to all sections of the site. In order of importance these sections are as follows:
the museum (who we are - where we are)
events (presentations - exhibitions - conferences)
temporaty exhibitions
permanent exhibition
students offers
E-Commerce catalogue
active map
Contact form
archive (newsletter, newspapers ...)
we need a field to register to the newsletter.
custom graphics/icons are welcome to indicate the different sections.
For each section should be a small text for stimulating reading later.
Both the home page and the inside pages are required to have a three level menu to navigate sections, categories, content. A search engine box will also be visible in all pages.
On the bottom of each page we must have contact information.
The site is multilingual, and then into each page we need the space for the "flags" (3)
We will require a layered .psd file as the final product (RGB). Do not mind if you use stock images, but please make sure you declare it.
About fonts: if you use verdana/arial or any largely supported font is ok. If you need to use othe fonts please consider that this will become html, so use one listed here: http://code.google.com/webfonts
The graphic design is to be completely new, but the site is useful for logo, graphics, the color theme, and some still images that will be integrated with new photos.
Goethe-Institut is somewhat related to Goethe's house. We like it because it's clear, you can find all info at a glance, but we dislike right colum photos (too much).
it's original. We like graphical work in general, we don't like moving text.
simple and clear. we like the big header.
too "old"... too much photos, not very ordered.
bad design, too much underlined text

|This modules provides several commands to run an external process. It is composed of functions formerly defined in XMonad.Util.Dmenu (by Spencer Janssen), XMonad.Util.Dzen (by firstname.lastname@example.com) and XMonad.Util.RunInXTerm (by Andrea Rossato).
For an example usage of runInTerm see XMonad.Prompt.Ssh
For an example usage of runProcessWithInput see XMonad.Prompt.DirectoryPrompt, XMonad.Util.Dmenu, XMonad.Prompt.ShellPrompt, XMonad.Actions.WmiiActions, XMonad.Prompt.WorkspaceDir
For an example usage of runProcessWithInputAndWait see XMonad.Util.Dzen
|Return output if the command succeeded, otherwise return (). This corresponds to dmenu's notion of exit code 1 for a cancelled invocation.
|Wait is in µs (microseconds)
safeSpawn bypasses XMonad.Core's spawn command, because spawn passes strings to /bin/sh to be interpreted as shell commands. This is often what one wants, but in many cases the passed string will contain shell metacharacters which one does not want interpreted as such (URLs particularly often have shell metacharacters like '&' in them). In this case, it is more useful to specify a file or program to be run and a string to give it as an argument so as to bypass the shell and be certain the program will receive the string as you typed it. unsafeSpawn is internally an alias for XMonad's spawn, to remind one that use of it can be, well, unsafe. Examples:
, ((modMask, xK_Print), unsafeSpawn "import -window root $HOME/xwd-$(date +%s)$$.png") , ((modMask, xK_d ), safeSpawn "firefox" "")
Note that the unsafeSpawn example must be unsafe and not safe because it makes use of shell interpretation by relying on $HOME and interpolation, whereas the safeSpawn example can be safe because Firefox doesn't need any arguments if it is just being started.
|Open a terminal emulator. The terminal emulator is specified in defaultConfig as xterm by default. It is then asked to pass the shell a command with certain options. This is unsafe in the sense of unsafeSpawn
|Run a given program in the preferred terminal emulator; see runInTerm. This makes use of safeSpawn.
Multiplies by ONE MILLION, for use with runProcessWithInputAndWait.
Use like:
(5.5 `seconds`)
|Launch an external application through the system shell and return a Handle to its standard input.

Hipster bulldog gains cult following
An adorable little French Bulldog has been playing dress-up and has impressively gathered a following of 84,000 on Instagram. The photogenic hipster, called Trotter, wears a range of outfits from a beret, moustache, top hat and pipe to high heels. San Francisco-based owner and Trotter's photographer Sonya Yu said her little pup is simply a natural in front of the camera. "I think she has an inkling that she's famous. People
get very excited to meet her in person. It's like they're meeting a celebrity."

The Honkytonk Man holds nothing back in his YouShoot interview from Kayfabe Commentaries. And that's an understatement.
The self-proclaimed greatest Intercontinental champion of all-time yammers on about Vince McMahon, the WWE Hall of Fame, pay, rats, ring wardrobe, his I-C title run and theme music all while dropping curse word after curse word that only adds to this epic shoot interview.
What makes this interview unique is that all questions posed to Honkytonk are from fans (hence the "You" in YouShoot) via email and video. Honkytonk never misses a beat and answers each question straight-up and honestly. He even mocks the late Sherri Martel, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and homosexuals, saying the latter is good for a b--w job now and then. How nice.
And that's just one of many comments Honky provides in this interview labeled "for mature audiences only." Yeah? Sailors couldn't sit through this entire DVD.
Kayfabe Commentaries co-owner Sean Oliver moderates the interview and rarely interjects himself to interrupt Honkytonk only to provide factual information and read the questions.
"The (YouShoot) series is a next generation answer to the shoot-style interview... the shoot on Creatine, maybe," Oliver said. "Of our three series (Guest Booker, My Side of the Story, YouShoot), YouShoot is the more irreverent, loose show. When you turn the interview over to the public and allow them to grill the most provocative figures in the business, you've got a recipe there for outrageousness.
"Honkytonk Man was the logical choice for the series premiere. He's shoot interview gold and has filled the prerequisites for this series -- he'll answer anything, he'll answer it honestly, and he's got balls. The same can be said for our two subsequent guests Missy Hyatt and The Sandman."
Nothing is off-limits in this interview and some of the stories Honky tells (and in great detail) are nothing short of engaging, entertaining and even ridiculous. When he rambles on about "rats" (wrestling sex dolls, groupies), good Lord, watch out.
It's hard to give a solid review of this DVD without giving away any of the stories Honkytonk Man dishes. All the rants are that good. The fast-forward button on your DVD player will not be touched, but the rewind key may get overused as the viewer is constantly in the state of "Oh my! Did he just say what I think he said?"
Yep. He did. And then some.
However you scrounge up the dough, if you are reading this review right now, find a way to get this shoot interview. You will not be let down.

'Distraught' Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson skips press conference after Real Madrid exit
Sir Alex Ferguson was too 'distraught' to face the media after his side's UEFA Champions League defeat by Real Madrid.
Last Updated: 06/03/13 6:53am
United appeared to be in control of the second leg of the last-16 tie when Nani's low cross early in the second half was turned into his own net by Sergio Ramos.
However, Nani was then shown a red card for catching Alvaro Arbeloa before goals from Luka Modric and United old boy Cristiano Ronaldo sent Real through 3-2 on aggregate.
Assistant Mike Phelan attended the post-match press conference in place of Sir Alex Ferguson and explained the United boss was not in 'any fit state' to speak to Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir about the sending off.
"It's a distraught dressing room and a distraught manager," said Phelan. "That's why I'm sat here now.
"We thought we had the tactics right for the game for such a big occasion. We felt comfortable at times and 0-0 was where we wanted to be.
"We came out, scored a goal and that put us in a commanding position. Then the game totally changed.
"The decision was amazing, but we had to carry on. Playing Real Madrid with 11 men is very difficult and, in a game of this magnitude with all the world watching, we feel very, very disappointed that we ended the game with 10 men.
"I don't think the manager is any fit state to talk to the referee about the decision.
"I think it speaks volumes that I'm sat here speaking to you at this moment in time and not the manager of this fantastic football club.
"We all saw and witnessed a decision that seemed very harsh, possibly incredible, at that moment in the game."
The pre-match talk was dominated by Ferguson's decision to leave Wayne Rooney out of the starting line-up but opposite number Jose Mourinho defended the decision.
Rooney was left kicking his heels on the bench for the first 70 minutes of the 2-1 reverse and was only introduced once the Red Devils had fallen behind.
"Sir Alex has won the right for every decision to be correct and never have a question mark against them," said Mourinho. "He is the best. He is the top.
"You (reporter) are nobody to put a question like that. I am nobody.
"He did a great job."
It is hard to argue Ferguson got the call right given the two men who profited most from Rooney's omission, Ryan Giggs and Danny Welbeck, were two of United's better performers.
Nevertheless, there is now bound to be speculation over the England man's future.
The last time Real Madrid came to Old Trafford, Ferguson left out David Beckham.
And though - like Rooney - the midfielder was eventually introduced, he left United that summer.
The next move is awaited with interest, particularly as United now have a tough FA Cup quarter-final to prepare for against Chelsea on Sunday.
"The decision was tactical," added Phelan. "In that dressing room, everyone was fit.
"But big decisions have to be made. Tonight we had the balance just right."

Email Deliverability Spooks and ScaresJillian Wohlfarth
In the spirit of Halloween, we thought we'd circle back on one of our most popular blog topics—how to avoid email pitfalls…or email spooks and scares! A couple of months ago, two of our expert technical account managers, Katie and Ali hosted a popular webcast (dangerously titled Highway to Hell: Top 7 Fastest Ways to Land in the Email Underworld) that discussed how to get on the fast track to the inbox while avoiding common missteps. So while we're all in a ghoulish mindset this week and next, we'll remind you of their top tips to avoid the "7 Deadly Email Sins."
Let's start off with our take on the sins of Sloth and Wrath.
SLOTH: Trusting Third Party List Management
Don't sell your email soul by being lazy and trusting third party list management services to build or clean your list.
- Purchasing lists may be the easy way out, but it's the wrong way. The quality of your list subscribers is far more important than the quantity.
- Purchased subscribers haven't opted into your email and likely have no fidelity to your brand. This leads to a higher probability of unsubscribes, spam complaints, and mass deletes.
- Gain subscribers the right way: through valid promotion, partnership opportunities, social media outreach, and more.
WRATH: IPs and Sender Reputation
Inviting the wrath of the ISPs by engaging in behavior that damages your sender reputation is a surefire way to kill a great email program. Remember that your sending reputation is directly tied to your IP. Whether you're on a shared or dedicated IP it's important that you maintain a strong reputation and avoid getting on the wrong side of the ISPs. (Not sure if you should be on a shared or dedicated IP? Check out this blog post that breaks down the differences.)
- Cold IPs are strangers to the ISPs. If you are a high volume sender (100k emails or more per month) you must warm up your dedicated IP. If not, the ISPs can throttle your mail and negatively affect your delivery rates.
- If you're on a shared IP, your reputation will affect that of the other people on your list and vice versa, so it's important that everyone on your IP be compliant with best sending practices.
- Don't cross your transactional and marketing email streams. Transactional email tends to have higher email deliverability rates than marketing email, so separate your mail streams to keep their reputations distinct.
Avoiding these two deadly email sins will keep you off the highway to email hell and on your way to the inbox. We'll cover the next 5 sins here on the blog shortly, but if you can't wait to learn them all, download our free Highway to Hell guide now to stay ahead of the game.

Perhaps it's the holiday weekend, but Bloody Marys are in the air. I have to say, I don't drink Bloodies very often. I don't like the flavor or texture of most commercial tomato juices, as they tend to be heavy on the palate and the tummy. Often, I feel like half my meal becomes the Bloody, since it's so filling.
However, Jen loves them, and so I've learned to make them at home, and when I start with good ingredients, I've learned to like them myself. I've written up my Bloody Mary recipe before, but I'm going to revisit it today, but with a twist. Back then, Anita from Married With Dinner urged me to try a homemade tomato juice. It's taken quite a while to get around to it, but I finally did.
Well, sort of. Jen made the juice; I made the Bloodies. After the break, her technique, but first, a pretty picture.
photograph by Jennifer Hess; the 360 vodka was sent to me for review
She started by blanching and peeling a dozen fresh plum tomatoes. She chunked them up and puréed them in a food mill before pressing them through a fine metal sieve to remove the seeds. Because we were planning to use it for Bloodies, she left it unseasoned. A food processor will work for the purée, if you don't have a food mill.
My friend Ed Mathews makes a kickass habanero hot sauce called Evil Hot, and I added a teaspoon of this to the tomato juice, plus Worcestershire, Fee's Old Fashioned Bitters, lime juice, horseradish, and the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices.
Yummy, and perfect with the bread pudding Jen made for brunch.

It's a funny thing. Many of the behaviors our dogs have as puppies are much cuter when they have no power to follow through. Chewing on our shoes is cute until they get older and tear them up. The same is true for chasing cats or cars. They cannot reach them, so it's cute.
But, by laughing and taking pictures of your dog chasing cats or cars as a puppy, and not stopping the behavior, you're only permitting it to persist and putting your dog at greater risk as they age.
The Root of Chasing
Dogs chase for a number of reasons. Part of them has an innate hunting instinct that tells them to chase prey. A cat might trigger that instinct, and even if the dog would never hurt the cat, he will continue chasing it as long as the "prey" runs away.
The same is true for cars. Because they are loud and constantly driving by, coming in and out of your dog's senses rapidly, they will chase them. Their barking chases off the car, right? The simple fact that a car is mobile only drives this behavior into them deeper, making it harder to adjust.
Solving the Chasing Problem
No matter how ingrained it may be or how cute it once was, there are serious risks when your dog likes to chase either cats or cars. The danger in chasing cars should be fairly evident. The dog forgets the value of staying to the sidewalks and can quickly put itself in danger.
The same can be said of cats, however. A cat being chased may decide to stand up to a dog, causing a great deal of damage to him if the two are not careful. Additionally, a dog and cat can tear a swath of destruction across your house when you're not home - especially with the cat's nimbleness in play.
So, it's important to stop them as soon as possible. Here are some tips:
1. Controlled Training - To start with, you need to train your dog, in the house, in a controlled setting to be able to follow commands while distractions are present. Dogs need to concentrate to follow your cues, which requires quiet and familiar settings.
Teach your dog to heel, sit on a leash, and pay attention to you and you only while in the house. Then, upgrade your training to walking on a leash outside. Only when your dog can follow commands both inside and on a leash should they ever be unleashed.
2. How to Practice - It's important to practice in a setting where your dog cannot get hurt. Introducing your dog to a cat in your house can be a good way of testing their ability to stay calm and submissive.
Make sure you do it in a closed room, with minimal distractions. Keep your dog on a leash as well so they do not get too carried away. Leave space for your cat to escape if necessary and then let the two meet.
You can do the same with a jogger or bicycle outside, having them run or ride by your dog while you control him on a leash to see how he responds.
3. Cars and Safe Settings - Cars are the most dangerous issue and should be addressed early in life. Do this by making sure your dog never has a chance to chase them. Teach him to sit at curbs, to heel and only to sniff or inspect with your permission.
Effective training of your dog will start and end with you knowing how to trigger the right behaviors and tamp down the wrong ones. The biggest example of this you'll ever see is in regards to chasing. Dogs love to chase - control that and you know he's paying attention.

Second Time's The Charm in Trying Namaste Foods
The kind people at Namaste Foods recently asked if I would review a couple of their products on this blog and they generously sent me a reusable tote bag, some coupons, recipe cards and a package each of their Blondie Mix and Say Cheez Pasta. After a disappointing round with the Blondies (the crust was hard on top, but the bottom was underdone, even after the requisite baking time and the clean toothpick test), I made the Say Cheez Pasta a couple of days later and was similarly disappointed. The noodles had a nice, springy texture (they contain hemp seeds), but the sauce was not to my taste. Say Cheez is a vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free pasta dinner, and the ersatz "cheez" was just not delicious.
I relayed my comments back to Namaste and the spokesperson offered to send me some other products to sample. I demurred, but even so, another Namaste package arrived at my door a few days later containing a bag of Chocolate Cake Mix and Taco Pasta Mix. I sampled a bit of the pasta seasoning mix and found it palatable, so I made up a batch, throwing in some frozen corn kernels in with the boiling pasta, and then adding in a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes (drained), some chopped cilantro and shredded Cheddar. So far, so good. The Taco Pasta was gobbled up for dinner by everyone at the Crispy Kitchen.
Then it was on to baking up the Namaste Chocolate Cake Mix. I was a little leery after the Blondie debacle, but this was fantastic cake. Unlike some other gluten free mixes that only make one layer, this cake mix makes two regular cake layers and it was truly delectable and moist. The cake was not too sweet, either, which is how I like my sweets. My husband is not particularly a chocolate lover, but he was having this cake for the next several days as breakfast and snack, so it was truly a hit. I frosted it with homemade vanilla buttercream frosting, snazzed it up with some red sugar sprinkles and this was a festive and delicious Valentine's Day dessert for us.
Locally you can find Namaste products at Four Seasons on Phila Street in Saratoga Springs and at Pure and Simple on Washington Street in Glens Falls. I'm impressed that this small company was confident enough in its products to try and win me over with something different even after I gave them my feedback about the first box of Namaste goods. I'm also delighted that they make their products in a dedicated gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, dairy-free, and nut-free facility, so I don't have to worry about cross-contamination issues and so that I can serve Namaste baked goods to some family and friends that have other food allergies. But most of all, I'm delighted that I can make a darn good chocolate cake, all two layers worth, for my family as an occasional treat. Thank you Namaste!

I absolutely love love LOVE Namaste's chocolate cake mix! I've made it numerous times (even made it into a black forest cake once). I like to make a cake, and use the rest of the batter for cupcakes.
Thanks for sharing the price comparison for amazon. I need to stock up on this great product!

I really like Namaste's Say Cheez. Too bad it wasn't to your taste. Namaste can send me samples anyday!
