I opened my mailbox last night to one of my favorite sights. A food magazine, its precious pages protected in a plastic sleeve. Last night it was July's Bon Appétit. Last week, it was June's Food&Wine. Sometimes I tear the plastic off right away and curl up with the latest issue and a glass of wine, tearing through it in an evening, dog-earing recipes. Other times, I savor the issue, reading it in bed over several nights, a bedtime story that leaves me with sweet (or savory) dreams. Stacked next to my bed is half a year's worth of cooking magazines.
But sometimes, I find the magazine, still enrobed in plastic, a month later. (Issues with celebrity actors turned cookbook authors are prime candidates for staying under wraps. <sigh>)
An ex-boyfriend got me started on cooking magazines almost a decade ago. He's also the one who inspired me to get a Kitchenaid mixer. While our relationship was transient, his influence was not. Well, at least as far as cooking was concerned. He pushed my food boundaries. I owe him a lot.
Even though I turn to the web or a cookbook when searching for a recipe, I still like flipping through the magazines. The best, of course, is when you find a recipe that is just perfect immediately. That night. You have the ingredients hanging out in your kitchen, just waiting to be put to good use.
Back in February, I tore open my Bon Appétit and consumed it. My version of the cover brownies is on it's way, but today we're here to talk about slaw. I had a friend staying over and I barely heard a thing she said until I finished making an Asian winter slaw, staining the pristine pages with miso and rice vinegar. As we caught up on the year we had spent in different cities, I didn't even make it to the table – I just ate the entire slaw out of the bowl sitting on the kitchen counter. Luckily, I have an open kitchen. Luckily, she had already eaten. Lucikly, there was no need to share.
Miso brocco-slaw
The original recipe calls for ginger, but I left it out because it molds too easily and I rarely have it in my fridge (when I remember, I do freeze it). I adjusted the proportions and added soy sauce and sesame oil. The recipe works equally well with cabbage.
Enough for 2, if you're willing to share.
– 2 T rice vinegar
– 1 T white miso
– 3 T vegetable oil
– 2 t soy sauce
– 1 t sesame oil
– 1 16-ounce bag broccoli slaw
– small handful cilantro, chopped (~1/4 C)
– sesame seeds
Make dressing. Whisk together vinegar, miso, oils, and soy sauce.
Make salad. Put slaw and cilantro in a bowl. Toss with dressing. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

In less time than it takes for you read through this post, you can make a salad dressing that just might change your life.
Let's get to it so you can run to the kitchen and throw three ingredients (well, five if you count salt and pepper) into a jar. Shake, and, abracadabra, a jar of life-altering liquid gold.
I'm sure you can guess the first two ingredients — some sort of acid (in this case, lemon juice) and some sort of oil (in this case, olive oil) in a 1:2 or 1:3 mix. The third, orange blossom water, takes this dressing from classic to ecstatic. Its flavor is subtle but remarkably present.
Now, enough of my chatter. Run to the kitchen, rummage for a jar, and get shaking. (If you're like me, you may need to spend a few quick moments cleaning up the mess of containers that have burst out of your cabinet in your rush to find just the right jar.) Toss a handful of greens and herbs on a plate, crack open some pistachios, and just before you lift your fork, drizzle the dressing over.
p.s. Nearly three weeks after her death, I can't stop reading Nora Ephron's New Yorker article on her love affair with cookbooks. Don't read it yet – savor it over your salad.
Arugula and pistachio salad with orange blossom dressing
This salad comes from Yotam Ottolenghi's vegetarian cookbook Plenty. Orange blossom water is an extract used in Middle Eastern cooking. The brand I use is Cortas. Ottolenghi uses watercress and a mix of herbs — basil, cilantro, dill and tarragon. I substituted arugula for the watercress, both having a similar bitterness, and my own favorite herbs. The dressing is more than enough to serve 6-8 people (with about 3/4 of a pound of arugula).
Make dressing. In a jar, whisk (or shake) together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons orange blossom water, and salt and pepper.
Make salad. Toss together in a big bowl a few handfuls of arugula, chopped fresh mint, chopped fresh basil, and a few sprigs of fresh dill. Shell a handful of lightly salted pistachios and add to the salad. Add the dressing just moments before serving.

text: The Lady Wildcats found out finesse won't get them much farther. They are going to need physical play, too. Oak Ridge held Campbell County to one field goal in the fourth quarter to squeak by the Lady Cougars 38-34 Friday. "We needed a reality check I think ... to grind one out," coach Kerra Jackson said. "It was ugly from the start to the finish but we won." The physical Lady Cougars controlled the tempo from the onset pulling down rebounds and working deep into their offensive sets. However, the shots were falling and Oak Ridge did just enough on the offensive end. Whitney Mitchell cut the lead to three, 8-11, before the first quarter ended and added a bucket to start the second but was called for her third foul on the next Campbell County possession. Mitchell was sent to the bench to avoid another foul before halftime leaving Kendra Holmes to try and create an offensive spark. The two were held to just four points each as drives into the paint came up empty. "Campbell County is tough and physical. In the first half, they controlled how they wanted to play. We depend on those two for a lot of our scoring," said coach Jackson of Mitchell and Holmes. "I told them you have to be better." The team picked it up in the second half grabbing rebounds and executing the zone defense. After a pair of 3-pointers by Campbell County (3-5, 1-2 in District 3-AAA) gave them a slim 31-28 lead, Mitchell hit a pair of free throws to end the third and a pair of baskets by Holmes gave Oak Ridge (5-3. 4-0) the lead for good. The Lady Cougars had a chance to get victory late when Jamie Mynatt buried the team's sixth 3-pointer with 14 seconds left, but the Lady Wildcats dribbled out the clock. Coach Jackson said it was a good sign for the team of five seniors and five freshmen and said the team has a "culture" this year that may not been the difference in physical contest. "It's a completely different team (from a year ago)," Jackson said. "I think our maturity on the court is better and our seniors have kind of brought our freshmen along, and the freshmen have a sense of wanting to step up and not disappoint the seniors." Kendra Holmes led all scorers with 15 points -- 11 in the second half. Mitchell added 11 and Asia Anderson had eight. Mynatt led CCHS with 14 points. Niki Ward had 12.

As the weather gets warmer and vacation season fast approaches, going on a family get away to a resort down south may not be an option during these dark economic days. But spending a hot afternoon lounging on the beach, surfing on thunderous waves, or swimming in freshwater lakes is not out of the question, as Canada is home to many of the most beautiful and unique beaches in the world. From the mild temperatures Long Beach on Vancouver Island has to offer all the way to a beach that actually sings in Prince Edward Island, this vast nation has a bountiful share of beaches to suit everyone's tastes — whether it's the beachcomber, sun tanner, beach volleyball player, hiker, or fisherman of the family.
Sauble Beach
Where: Near Owen Sound, Ont. on Lake Huron, a two-hour drive from Toronto and London.
Length: Sauble Beach, which means "Beach of Sand," stretches into 11 km of gold sand along the clear waters of Lake Huron.
Features: As the second-largest freshwater beach in the world and facing west into the sunset, Sauble Beach has warm waters ideal for swimming. Attractions are available for all ages including amusement parks, bars, playgrounds, and go-karts.
What makes it special: A fisherman's paradise. In the spring, large rainbow trout can be seen thrashing up the Sauble River Falls and in the summer, small mouth bass and perch are in abundance. While this beach attracts quite a crowd in the hot days of summer, it transforms into a quiet winter escape with 3,000 km of snowmobile trails as well as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Long Beach
Where: From Nanaimo, B.C. it is about a three-hour drive to get to Long Beach, which lies between Tofino and Ucluelet on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
Length: Long Beach is exactly what its name implies: a 10 km stretch of beautiful beachy sand.
Features: Surrounded by rainforests, Long Beach normally has mild temperatures in the summer from 15 and 30 C.
What makes it special: Although one million tourists visit the Pacific Rim Park each year spending days walking between the series of beaches, it never gives off the feel of a crowded beach. Together, Long Beach, Radar Beach, Combers Beach, and Wickaninnish Beach stretch about 25 km. Renown for its surfable waves and picturesque landscape, as well as its stormy Pacific winter weather. Long Beach is the most accessible beach in the park.
Singing Sands Beach
Where: Located on the northeast tip of Prince Edward Island, Singing Sands Beach (also known as Basin Head Beach) is east of the town of Souris and just over an hour's drive from Charlottetown.
Length: Although it can be hard to say where one beach ends and another begins in P.E.I., Basin Head is about eight km long.
Features: Basin Head has a great ecosystem, rich with diverse mammals, fish, and plants making it a great destination for long walks, scouring the sand for natural treasures, or sitting on a blanket watching a magnificent sunset.
What makes it special: When beach-goers walk along the sandy shores, a squeaky-singsong noise is made. The singing of the quartz sand made Singing Sands Beach a nomination in CBC's quest for Canada's Natural Wonders.
Martinique Beach
Where: Located in Nova Scotia, about an hour's drive east of Halifax.
Length: At five km, Martinique Beach is the longest sandy beach in Nova Scotia.
Features: Named a bird sanctuary, Martinique Beach has a wildlife that features Canadian geese, the endangered Piper Plover bird, and black ducks.
What makes it special: A quiet underpopulated beach, Martinique is the second home to many surfers who spend hot summer days gliding across its waters.
Wasaga Beach
Where: On the southern shores of Georgian Bay in Ontario, it's about a 45-minute drive from Barrie, Ont.
Length: With 14 km of white sand, Wasaga Beach is the largest freshwater beach in the world.
Features: Wasaga Beach is a sure fire hit for everyone in the family. A very busy beach, it is a popular attraction for the social butterfly with eight beaches and a Main Street Mall. For the sporting fanatics, there is a driving range and a 60-acre paintball field. For the athletic fitness junky, there are endless trails for walking, cycling, or hiking.
What makes it special: Wasaga Beach has a hidden secret. Unknown to many locals who visit the beach, Wasaga is also home to beautiful sand dunes.
Grand Beach
Where: Located about an hour north of Winnipeg on Lake Winnipeg.
Length: Grand Beach is three km long.
Features: The East Beach is more family friendly, situated next to a campground offering a quiet place to rest. There are also sand dunes that rise up to 12 meters above the beach.
What makes it special: With shallow and warm water coming from Lake Winnipeg, Grand Beach is great for those who like to spend hours in the water.
Parlee Beach
Where: Located on the east coast of New Brunswick near Shediac, about 20 minute's drive northeast of Moncton.
Length: One km long, approximately 700 metres of the beach is supervised.
Features: As one of the most popular beaches in the province, Parlee Beach is highly accessible, with a fully equipped park site, including changing houses, showers, a canteen, amphitheatre, and washrooms. It is also wheelchair accessible and pet owners are welcome to bring their furry friends to beach day. About one million people visit in the summer months with many as 25,000 visitors on particularly hot days.
What makes it special: Parlee Beach is known for having some of the warmest salt water north of Virginia.
Sandbanks Beach
Where: A part of Sandbanks Provincial Park, this beach is located on Lake Ontario, about 45 minutes south of Belleville, Ont.
Length: This beach stretches seven km.
Features: Although the park has three beaches, Sandbanks is more secluded and is one of the largest beaches in southern Ontario with two of the largest freshwater baymouth sandbars. Activities range from swimming, wind surfing, canoeing, and hiking. For bird lovers, Sandbanks Provincial Park has over 240 species of birds to look out for.
What makes it special: Its flour-soft sand rivals that of the Caribbean.
Wreck Beach
Where: Near University of British Columbia campus, Vancouver.
Length: This beach is 7.8 km long.
Features: Wreck Beach sits below a beautiful, forested backdrop of luscious greens and towering mountains. Over 500,000 people visit the beach annually to swim in the water where the Fraser River meets with the Strait of Georgia and the English Bay. Hosting a vibrant hippie culture, food, beverage and other vendors cruise the beach.
What makes it special: Wreck Beach is Canada's first legal, clothing-optional beach, and also its largest.

Karin (香燐, Karin) is a former subordinate of Orochimaru, presumably a former kunoichi of Kusagakure, and a member of the Uzumaki clan.[3][4] She assisted Orochimaru in his experiments, and was left in charge of his Southern Hideout while he was away. She was later recruited into Sasuke Uchiha's group Taka, which was initially called "Hebi" at the time of its creation, as the sensor of the group.
As a child, Karin lived in a small village that was burnt to the ground during a war. She was the only survivor and was completely unharmed. Orochimaru found her afterwards and asked how she survived, to which she answered that she could tell that huge groups of people were coming. Orochimaru then brought her to Otogakure, where she served as a jailer at one of his bases.[1] Karin eventually took part in the Chūnin Exams that were held in Konoha, with her forehead protector stating her affiliation with Kusagakure. During the second phase, taking place in the Forest of Death, she lost track of her team-mates and was attacked by a large bear. She was saved by Sasuke Uchiha who was disappointed to find she had the earth scroll as well, but she was able to catch a good glimpse of him before he left. She remembered the smile that Sasuke gave her and fell in love.[5]
At some point, she was involved in experimentations on Jūgo and Kimimaro.[6] Her impressive healing abilities were studied by Orochimaru and Kabuto with the latter successfully being able to replicate it.[3] Unlike the rest of Taka, Karin was genuinely loyal to Orochimaru,[7] going as far as to refuse to release Orochimaru's prisoners and,[8] in the anime, having them killed for speaking of his death, even after his defeat.[9]
Karin has a fluctuating personality; she will appear tough and in control at times, to the point of being violent and critical, and at other times will appear highly flirtatious. She annoys Suigetsu Hōzuki, whom she attacks whenever he voices his general opinion of her. In the anime, she stated that she was attracted to men based on their chakra quality, and claims that Suigetsu's chakra disgusts her. Sasuke Uchiha's chakra used to dazzle her, but it now scares her, due to it getting colder and darker from his hatred. Naruto Uzumaki's seems to calm and dazzle her as well, making her feel comfortable and relaxed due to it being warm and bright, though she also became scared after sensing an evil chakra within him.[10]
Karin is infatuated with Sasuke since they first met; when he saved her during the Chūnin Exams. In the anime, she has a flashback of when Orochimaru sends her to assist Sasuke in capturing a horde of escaped prisoners. There, she is captivated by the level of Sasuke's chakra and develops an infatuation with him. Karin's infatuation bordered on obsession to the point of fanaticism. For example, when Hebi was recuperating after Sasuke's battle with Deidara, Karin was planning to drug both Suigetsu and Jūgo and then "ravish" Sasuke's unconscious body and it was later revealed that she had kept one of Sasuke's sweat-drenched shirts. Karin didn't make much of an attempt to hide her feelings, frequently suggesting to Sasuke that they should spend time alone. Karin was very angry when the Fifth Mizukage flirted with Sasuke, and called her an "old hag" for it. Despite Sasuke's chakra becoming increasingly "darker", she still found him attractive. However, after he stabbed her in order to kill Danzō and tried to kill her, then even order Sakura to kill her to test Sakura's intent to join him, Karin stated that she no longer cares about him. Karin has also used other's perception of her feelings towards Sasuke to her advantage, feigning mental instability while imprisoned at Konoha to make the guards pay less attention to her. Upon her escape, she furiously beat Suigetsu after following Sasuke's chakra, but with Sasuke's apology and Orochimaru's suggestion, she found herself unable to stay angry.
Karin has crimson eyes, fair skin, and the characteristic red hair of the Uzumaki clan which she wears in an unusual hairstyle: her hair is short and spiky on the right side, while longer and straight on the left side giving half her hair the appearance of being spiky and somewhat unkempt on one side, while the other side is neat and straight. She wears brown glasses, which have a serrated blade hidden in them,[11] and her outfit consists of a lavender uniform that exposes her navel, short black shorts, and long black thigh high stockings with black sandals. Her chest, neck and arms are covered with bite marks that result from using her Heal Bite, and all of which are hidden by her uniform.
As she is allied with Hebi, Karin begins to wear a pouch around her midsection, and later a black cloak. When allied with Akatsuki, Karin wears an Akatsuki cloak with a hood instead of a high collar. After the fight with Killer B, Karin briefly put her hair in a ponytail.
Karin has been praised by Tobi as being "helpful" for her abilities. They were also the reason why Orochimaru took her with him after he found her. Despite being mostly a non-combatant, Orochimaru himself has referred to her as one of his good experiments,[12] and had enough faith in her abilities to put her in charge of the Southern Hideout's prison, since her abilities made escaping practically impossible. Although she usually takes a supporting role in battles as a medical-nin of sorts, she seems to have knowledge of close-range combat which was seen when she tried to attack Danzō Shimura to save Sasuke Uchiha and also when losing her temper to the taunting from Suigetsu.[13]
Sensory Perception
Karin possesses a unique sensory ability known as the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, which allows her to track any targets through their chakra signature. Noted by Kakashi as a particularly skilled chakra-sensing ninja,[14] Sasuke goes on to state that her ability to sense chakra is unlike anyone else's.[7] She can greatly expand her range to detect the presence of others and could easily discern whether or not a specific individual are among a crowd,[15] pick up chakra from long distances, and determine if targets are approaching her and how many or what species.[16] She can also determine the size of a target's chakra reserve and potency, even notice changes in an individual's chakra which allowed her to tell whether or not someone was lying through the fluctuations in that person's chakra made from dishonest emotions.[17] She can also find out if an enemy is using a clone technique,[18] and indicate if someone, including herself, is trapped in genjutsu.[19] She can, similarly, conceal her own chakra from others.[20] However, doing so will render her unable to use chakra, thus disabling her sensing technique.
Life Force and Healing Abilities
As a direct descendant of the Uzumaki clan,[3][4] Karin has a remarkably powerful life force. This grants her immense potential longevity as well as equally strong vitality. As noted by Kabuto, Karin also possesses a unique healing ability which seemingly stems from this powerful life-force. With this power, she not only has incredible regenerative capabilities, but can also heal others by letting them bite her and absorb her chakra.[21] The potency of her healing chakra was enough to restore Tsunade's chakra reserves.[22] However, it is dangerous for her to use that ability more than once a day,[23] and as a consequence, she is left with permanent bite marks on her arms, chest and neck. She has also showed the ability to restore her own health this way, though the effects are so far unknown.[24]
In the anime, she was also seen using the Mystical Palm Technique to heal Sasuke, although it appears she is not as skilled with the technique as medical-nin are.[25]
Similar to Kushina Uzumaki, Karin is able to materialize chakra chains in combat. During the Fourth Shinobi World War she was she was able to use her Chakra Chains to overpower Spiral Zetsu's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands and destroy its thousands of hands.[26]
Karin is shown to be quite intelligent. During Hebi's hunt for Itachi, she was able notice the Konoha shinobi's way of tracking them was by Sasuke's scent. From this, she quickly came up with a method of throwing them off Hebi's tracks, by tearing up Sasuke's sweat-soaked shirt and tying it to many birds and having them fly in multiple directions.[27] She was capable of quickly deducing the basics of a complex technique such as Izanagi during Sasuke's battle against Danzō. She is also resourceful, as seen during her imprisonment, hiding a blade in the frame of her glasses as well as a lock-pick set within a portrait that she seemingly carries around with her, all the while putting up an act of fluctuating feelings for Sasuke in order to lessen the guards' sense of security on her.[28]
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
Sasuke recruited her as a member of Hebi. While Sasuke admitted that she might be troublesome sometimes, he also noted that her special abilities made her useful. While Sasuke tried to recruit her, she tried to seduce him. Once the team was completed, Sasuke sent Hebi out in multiple directions to try and locate Itachi Uchiha. While on the search, Karin passed Sakura Haruno, although the two did not acknowledge each other. After Deidara's suicide explosion, the rest of the team regrouped and took Sasuke to an inn to recover. When Karin went out for supplies, she sensed the Eight Man Squad approaching, and warned the team. It was her plan to use Sasuke's old clothing as a means to distract the squad from catching them. When they finally got back on Itachi's trail, Karin stayed behind with Suigetsu, Jūgo, and Kisame as Sasuke went ahead to battle Itachi.
Invasion of Pain Arc
Hebi, now renamed Taka, later began working with Akatsuki. They were sent to Kumogakure to capture the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki. When they found him, Karin stood on the sidelines and watched the others fight Killer B. When Sasuke was mortally wounded fighting Killer B, Karin immediately rushed to pull the dying Sasuke out of the fight, as Suigetsu and Jūgo kept Killer B busy. As she pulled the swords out of Sasuke's body she exposed her right arm, riddled with numerous bite marks. She then told Sasuke to bite her arm, and as he did, her Heal Bite healed his wounds.
As Killer B got bored and attempted to leave, Karin used her Mind's Eye of the Kagura to locate him. Killer B then used his demonic chakra to charge at her, Jūgo, and Suigetsu, but Jūgo rocketed them away to safety. After Sasuke was yet again critically wounded by Killer B, Karin insisted on reviving Sasuke again. She was stopped by Jūgo, who claimed she didn't have enough chakra to save Sasuke again, so Karin watches as Jūgo transfers his flesh to Sasuke to heal him. When Killer B fully transformed into the Eight-Tails, Sasuke used Amaterasu to quell it. Karin quickly moved all of her team-mates out of the way of one of Killer B's tentacles, but this resulted in her being hit by one, and some of the black flames spread to Karin's cloak. Sasuke used his Mangekyō Sharingan to put them out. Karin was carried to safety by Jūgo.
While the team was recovering, Karin briefly put her hair in a ponytail. She noticed that something was wrong with Sasuke, but as he brushed it off, she detected an enemy outside their base, which Sasuke and Jūgo went to investigate.
Konoha History Arc
Main article: Konoha History Arc
Five Kage Summit Arc
After Taka recovered, they moved out for Konoha. Along the way they are stopped by Tobi, who convinced Sasuke to go after Danzō Shimura at the Kage Summit. When they arrived in the Land of Iron, they decided to wait until the meeting was over before they attack. Zetsu soon revealed their presence and the Kage mobilise against Taka. When the battle got under way, Karin noticed that Sasuke's chakra was now darker than when in his cursed seal level two state.
When the Fourth Raikage arrived, he instructs C to locate and eliminate Karin, Taka's sensory ninja. Karin hid her chakra to avoid detection, and once C was defeated by Sasuke she again began to look for Danzō's location. By the time Sasuke is able to elude the Raikage, Karin had found Danzō. She informs Sasuke that Jūgo and Suigetsu are still alive, but he said to leave them and had her lead him to Danzō. Danzō fled as soon as they arrived, and Sasuke was forced to fight the Fifth Mizukage and the Third Tsuchikage before he could follow. During the brief confrontation Karin grew concerned with Sasuke's deteriorating chakra levels. When his chakra signature disappeared, she broke into tears, believing him to be dead, with the Tsuchikage turning his sight on her.
Tobi soon appeared with Sasuke in tow before he sent them both to a different realm so she could heal his wounds. He later returned and released them in front of Danzō so that Sasuke could fight him. Karin observed the battle and tried to determine how Danzō was able to survive a series of apparently fatal injuries. She immediately ruled out genjutsu or a clone technique, and eventually noticed that the Sharingan embedded in Danzō's arm closed one by one as the battle progressed. Coupling this observation with frequent descents in Danzō's chakra levels, she learned the secret of his technique. She told Sasuke about it and advised that he keep his distance until Izanagi expired.
Once Sasuke mortally wounded Danzō, Karin healed his injuries. Danzō then took Karin hostage as he refused to die. Karin called to Sasuke for help, but Sasuke stabbed her through the chest in order to pierce Danzō's heart. Sasuke simply commented that, if she can be taken hostage so easily, she was now only a burden to him. Karin collapsed and Tobi suggested that Sasuke finish her off since she had some knowledge of their plans. As Sasuke walked towards Karin, she has a flashback of her first encounter with him at the Chūnin Exams and remembered his smile. She took one last look at Sasuke, wishing to see his smile one more time, before he was about to kill her, but he was interrupted by the arrival of Sakura.
Sakura insisted that she wanted to be with Sasuke no matter what, leading Karin to realise that Sakura too loved Sasuke. Sasuke ordered Sakura to prove her loyalty by killing Karin. This, however, was a lie to make Sakura drop her guard. As Sasuke prepared to kill Sakura, Karin managed to mutter a warning, before Kakashi Hatake arrived to counter the attack. After it became clear that not even his words can alter Sasuke's motives, he ordered Sakura to take Karin away from the area and heal her enough to talk. While still barely conscious, Karin looked up at a sobbing Sakura and pleaded for her to hold in her tears. A tear fell down Karin's face as she sensed a further change in Sasuke's chakra, stating that Sasuke is no longer the person that Sakura once knew. As she asked Sakura what she will do, Sakura didn't respond and, emotionally unstable, returned to the fight despite Karin's warnings.
Later, when Sasuke prepared to fight with Naruto, Karin, sensing that Sasuke is going to over-exert himself again, dwelled on the fact that she was only able to heal him a little from his earlier skirmishes, before catching herself in that thought; in light of the fact of everything that Sasuke had done to her, Karin decided to herself that she was now done with Sasuke. After Sasuke left, Kakashi told her that she was coming with them to Konoha; Karin resigned to her fate as she had no choice, being warned by Kakashi not to try anything. As Karin left with them, she made a special note of Naruto's character, apparently hearing of him before.
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
Later, she is interrogated by Ibiki Morino in Konoha to get information on Akatsuki, Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi. Though she initially wove a tale in which she was a victim of both Orochimaru who she claimed had forced her into hard labour and Sasuke who had unreasonably demanded too much from her, Ibiki saw through it immediately and Karin switched tracks, insisting to be fed a bowl of deep-fried pork cutlets before she would talk. While the other two fussed over making preparations however, Ibiki remained stone-faced. Karin later noted that all the people in Konohagakure seem to all be cheerful and warm, just like Naruto.[29][30]
Shinobi World War Arc
Having been jailed some time after the interrogation, Karin talks to a portrait of Sasuke, first stating that he was cool and then immediately throwing down the picture and cursing him for trying to kill her. This erratic behaviour seemingly has been going on for a while, bewildering the guards. This, however, is revealed to be a ruse, as Karin uses the guard's distraction to pry open the portrait with a hidden blade in her glasses, revealing a lock-pick set.[31]
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
After escaping from the jail, Karin noticed Sasuke's chakra in the village and couldn't believe that it would be him. She followed the signal just as Taka, Orochimaru and the Hokage prepared to leave for the battlefield, attacking a fleeing Suigetsu over what had happened to her. Sasuke's apology for attacking her was met with a mix of anger and giddy appreciation as she noticed Orochimaru among the group. In the end, she found herself unable to stay angry at Sasuke and forgave him.
Karin, Suigetsu and Orochimaru later arrived at the battlefield where the five Kage were, with the latter commenting on Tsunade's condition. Karin was then ordered by Orochimaru to assist Katsuyu in healing Tsunade by having the Fifth bite her. However, Karin hesitated because she didn't like anyone other than Sasuke to benefit from biting her. Suigetsu then proved Karin was really interested in Sasuke and pointed that she had already had many bite marks on her even before meeting with Sasuke. This then lead to another brief spat between the two, which was almost immediately stopped by Orochimaru after he had threatened them with his snakes. While healing Tsunade in that state, Karin noted that if Tsunade did not stop biting her soon, she herself might turn old. She later departed with Orochimaru and Suigetsu to the battlefield. Upon arrival, Karin is almost immediately consumed by her obsession with Sasuke, so much so that she dismissed Suigetsu's observation of the Shinju before catching herself and agreeing with him that the recovery of the shinobi was paramount.
Return of Madara Arc
While Orochimaru and Taka are hiding from Spiral Zetsu's giant Wood Release and thinking up a strategy, Karin became distraught upon sensing Sasuke's critical condition, figuring that with no intervention, Sasuke will die.

Karin's fighting style differs in her video game appearances:
- In Kizuna Drive, Karin uses her Mind's Eye of the Kagura technique to avoid enemy attacks, and can enter the same Medical Mode as Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.
- In Shinobi Rumble, Karin is shown to use senbon, and she attacks her opponents with them after detecting them in a radius of her Mind's Eye of the Kagura technique.
- Karin's techniques in Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 are focused on her Mind's Eye of the Kagura technique, allowing her to avoid enemy attacks at a close and long range. If Karin uses her Ultimate Jutsu on Sasuke in "Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3", Karin blushes, and stares in awe at Sasuke's beaten up body right after she finishes her technique and says "Oh yes". "Student Sasuke" may be fought for the same effect.
- In Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Karin's techniques are more focused on her personality, as she sprays poisoned perfume that she carries in the pouch on her back and slaps opponents with explosive tags. When fighting Sasuke, Karin's entire demeanour changes, and she frequently remarks and swoons over him while fighting, and her techniques and Awakening mode are modified.
- In Dragon Blade Chronicles, Karin is shown to have a diary; a black book that she keeps in the pouch she wears on her back and has decorated with pink hearts. She tells Sasuke that she could write about him in it if he insists.
- Karin's name is made up of the kanji for "fragrance" or "perfume" (香) and "phosphorus" (燐).
- According to the databook(s):
- Karin wishes to fight Suigetsu.
- Karin's hobby is collecting perfumes. It is amusing to note that the Japanese word for perfume is written with 香 — the first kanji in Karin's name — and 水 — the first kanji in Suigetsu's.
- Karin's favourite food is okonomiyaki, while she dislikes gyōza.
- Karin's favourite phrase is "A woman's desire can pass even through rock" (女の一念、岩をも徹す, Onna no Ichinen, iwa o mo tōsu).
- Karin has completed 50 official missions in total: 25 D-rank, 16 C-rank, 7 B-rank, 2 A-rank, 0 S-rank.
- (To Sasuke) "If you really want me to Sasuke… I will follow you."[32]
- (To Sasuke about Suigetsu) "I hate Suigetsu always running his mouth."[33]
- (To herself about Sasuke) " …I just wanted… to see that face once more…"[34]
- (To herself about Sakura) "You're the enemy… I don't want to sympathise with you… so… so don't… don't cry like that in front of me…! Damn it…"[35]
- (To herself about Sasuke) "Sasuke… I may have healed you a little, but this is too much… actually… forget it, I'm done with you."[36]

Loving God, I give you thanks for the gift of my hands. Give me the grace to see my hands as you see them, as instruments of grace. Use my hands to carry out your works of mercy and love. May the shawls my hands create bring blessings to those they wrap in love and healing to those upon whom they rest. Amen
— St. Vincent de Paul prayer shawl ministers
Maria Cedillo believes a patchwork quilt, sewn by members of the prayer shawl ministry at St. Andrew Church in Fort Worth, helped her family experience a miracle.
"She's truly a miracle baby," gushes the great-aunt as she begins to recount the saga that brought her premature niece, Isabella, and a brightly colored "Sunbonnet Sue" blanket together. "The doctors are amazed that such a little child could make it through surgery. It shows what prayer, trusting in God, and Mother Mary can do."
The longtime St. Andrew parishioner turned to her church's growing prayer shawl ministry after receiving a hurried phone call from her sister, Lynda, in California. A grandbaby, expected in late July of 2011 was born early on May 13 – the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. Weighing just l pound, 13 ounces, the infant wasn't expected to survive.
Living so far away from her sibling, the only support Maria could offer was prayer.
"I wanted to send the baby a prayer blanket, but I didn't think they'd have a small one for a child," remembers the former quilter who volunteered for the ministry before health issues forced her to quit.
While foraging through the bins of crocheted and cloth coverlets in the pastoral center at St. Andrew's, Maria came across the perfectly-sized gift. Designed with calming yellow squares and appliqués of a little girl wearing a bonnet, the blanket stood out from larger, all-purpose donations.
At St. Andrew Church, each prayer shawl given to someone needing comfort or healing is blessed by one of the parish's Franciscan Friars. A card attached to the blanket lets the recipient know the shawl's maker and others are lifting him or her up in prayer.
When baby Isabella's prayer blanket was mailed to the West Coast, the concerned great-aunt also enclosed her own message.
"I wrote the baby a letter saying the blanket was from her aunt in Texas and that it would keep her safe," Maria recalls. "Prayer shawls give hope to the people who receive them, and that's what I wanted for Isabella's family."
An ancient, revered element of Judaism, the prayer shawl or tallit is worn in the Jewish faith during worship as a sign of reverence for God and his commandments. Christians broadened the scope of the tradition by distributing blankets or shawls to sick, grief-stricken, or troubled persons as a reminder that compassion and community are found in God's love.
St. Andrew's Prayer Shawl ministry is one of several outreaches at work in the Diocese of Fort Worth that tap into the needlework skills of parishioners to serve the homebound, infirm, and anyone needing physical, mental, or spiritual healing. Two Connecticut women, Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo, are credited with popularizing the prayer shawl ministry in the U.S. Authors of several how-to books on the subject, the pair recognized the symbolic power of a prayer shawl while taking part in an impromptu religious service at Hartford Theological Seminary. A classmate, wrapped in a warm, colorful cloak and circled by other women in prayer, was an image they couldn't forget.
"It was the perfect metaphor for the comforting, motherly, and unconditionally loving God we had come to know," they wrote in their first book, The Prayer Shawl Companion.
Inspired, the women began making shawls, blankets, and mantles for friends and family. Before long, the ritual took on a spiritual quality and became a grounding influence in their daily lives.
"It felt different from other work we did because we entered into the process through intention, meditation, and prayer," they explained.
Friends and acquaintances followed their example and started mailing shawls to other parts of New England and around the country. Articles about the ministry began appearing in magazines and newspapers and helped spread the idea worldwide.
|These parishioners at St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Arlington are busy knitting not just blankets or, but signs of the love of Christ and his Church for the recipients.
Supporters of the concept say prayer shawls touch lives in a way that words can't. Jan Nelson decided to start a ministry at St. Vincent de Paul Church after seeing how a prayer blanket given to her nephew, helped him cope with a leukemia diagnosis.
"When he was cold, he used it in the hospital for physical warmth; the Arlington resident remembers. And knowing that people were praying for him was another comfort.
After her nephew died, Lutheran friends consoled her devastated sister with a prayer shawl made by members of their faith community.
"It made such an impact I decided my parish needed a prayer shawl committee," Nelson recalls. "I don't knit or crochet, so I contacted the volunteers at the Lutheran Church for information about yarn and patterns." She says she learned how the movement got started on the Internet.
A small notice placed in the church bulletin brought together 10 enthusiastic needle crafters who made the Arlington parish's first prayer shawls. That was three years ago. Today the thriving ministry relies on the skill of 30 members and has given away 360 blankets.
Nelson keeps a distribution log of where each blanket is sent. Thank you notes from grateful recipients are saved and shared with knitters during monthly meetings.
Although there is a standard prayer shawl pattern, the organizer encourages creativity.
"Some members knit scarves for men they can wrap around their necks," Nelson explains. "Others make a square that looks more like a lap blanket. We've got pink, blue, yellow, and white blankets that are perfect for a baby."
Yarn for the ministry is donated by the parish men's club and ladies' guild but many volunteers often pay for materials themselves. The most profound aspect of the community effort is the sense of spirituality it creates for both the giver and receiver.
"The women who work on these prayer shawls tell me time and time again they know the people getting these shawls are comforted by them and they pray for that person," Nelson says. "But they also receive comfort themselves and feel closer to God."
Once a completed prayer shawl is turned in to the parish office, it is blessed by a priest or deacon and wrapped in white tissue prayer. Nelson affixes a prayer card and note that says in part: "Always remember the person who made this shawl wove prayers for God's love and healing into the shawl to create a vessel for God's mysterious presence in the life of the recipient — you."
A prayer blanket ministry at St. Frances Cabrini Church in Granbury reaches out not only to the sick and grieving but also to military families.
"It's a tangible thing that lets people know you are praying and thinking about them while they are going through a crisis," explains Claudette Knezek who started the ministry at her parish eight years ago.
A former nurse who understands a patient's need for comfort, she remembers the solace a prayer blanket gave her late husband while he underwent radiation treatments at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston.
"What else helps when you're fighting a war on cancer?" Knezek asks rhetorically. "Prayer is the answer."
St. Frances Cabrini members, working in groups or individually, have sewn more than 2,000 blankets since the ministry began. The 3 by 3 ft. coverlets, targeted for the military, are made in patriotic colors and stored with the other blankets in the sacristy.
Knezek understands the stress and hardship affecting soldiers and their loved ones. Her son, Col. Andrew Wilcox, served tours of duty in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of the prayer blankets given to soldiers are packed in duffle bags and go overseas. Others stay here to comfort the families left behind. They serve as a reminder to pray for the person in harm's way.
"It helps them remember that others outside the family are praying for them too," Knezek explains.
Prayer shawls allow a faith community to reach out to people who are hurting or isolated, according to Julie Kinch, who organized a ministry at St. Andrew three years ago. Using contact information supplied by her parish's extraordinary ministers, the blankets are often distributed to the homebound or nursing home residents. Others are sent out through the parish's social ministry services or simply requested by a parishioner. Six regular volunteers knit, crochet or quilt the prayer shawls, but Kinch hopes to get more women involved by offering monthly workshops.
"It's a hobby we share, but we're doing it with a specific purpose of making these shawls for people who are in need," the quilter explains.
Before each prayer shawl is sent out, Kinch attaches a card inscribed with two prayers — a daily prayer for healing and a prayer by St. Augustine.
"They're broad enough to fit any situation — physical, emotional, or spiritual," the program's coordinator says. "The blankets have gone out to parishioners and non-parishioners, Catholics and non-Catholics. When someone picks up a blanket, they write down their information, and we begin to pray for that person."
A priest's blessing is the final touch that makes the prayer shawls special Kinch says adding, "It's like being wrapped in a hug from Jesus."
Maria Cedillo believes a patchwork quilt, sewn by members of the prayer shawl ministry at St. Andrew Church in Fort Worth, helped her family experience a miracle.

An iOS hacking team that calls itself "evad3rs" has released a tool to jailbreak devices running iOS 6. The tool, called "evasi0n," is available for OS X, Windows, and Linux. It can jailbreak iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, and 6.1 on all compatible iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches.
For those unfamiliar with jailbreaking, it's a process that defeats the built-in security and DRM features of iOS, allowing greater flexibility in customization, the ability to install apps outside of the official App Store, and access to iOS's underlying UNIX internals. Jailbreakers tend to use the technique to enable functionality that isn't part of iOS, or to customize the look of icons and other elements. Some also use it to unlock devices from particular carriers or to install software otherwise barred (and sometimes pirated) from the App Store.
Jailbreaking tools typically rely on some undocumented flaw that enables working around iOS's security measures. As such, each new version of iOS usually patches flaws once they are exploited by jailbreaking tools, so each version of iOS often requires a new jailbreak tool. evasi0n uses a previously undisclosed exploit that works on all available versions of iOS 6. It also works "untethered," meaning the iOS device doesn't need to be plugged into a computer to re-enable the jailbreak every time the device is rebooted.

Religion in the village of Cowling, West Yorkshire is likely to be the subject of a future post. However it provides me with something to write about for Amanuensis Monday this week. My Dawson ancestry is firmly rooted in Cowling. My 2xgreat grandfather, John Dawson married Ellen Gawthrop on 8th April 1844 in the Parish Church of Kildwick.
So I am connected to John Gawthrop by marriage. He is my 1st cousin 3x removed.
John was born c1853 and he married Elizabeth Thornton in 1890. As far as I have been able to determine they had at least two children – Elsie and John.
On the 1871 census John was living with his parents and working as a weaver. In 1881 he was still with his parents but his occupation had changed to a local mission preacher. By 1891 John was away doing mission work and he and Elizabeth are shown as visitors at an address in Gravenhurst, Bedfordshire. His occupation is shown as Wesleyan Minister. In 1901 John, Elizabeth and their two children were living in Kirkby Stephen, Cumberland.
I guess it's a sign of how much they moved about the country that Elsie was born c1892 in Northampton and John was born c1896 in Foleshill, Warwickshire.
OK, that just about sets the scene!
John became active as a preacher during the period known as Revivalism. These revivial services were well attended and John was a regular and popular preacher at the Ickornshaw Chapel. This article refers to John as:-
"a typical product of the revivalist era and whose unorthodox methods and powerful personality made him one of the most successful mission workers of his day. He gained a high place in the Wesleyan ministry, conducting several large missions in various cities and serving as pastor of important churches throughout the country".
This article from the Cumberland & Westmorland Herald of November 2000 includes a look back to 100 years ago and tells the story of John speaking in Kirkby Stephen and complaining that "there were no young men in the Wesleyan societies. At Dent Head, Blencarn and Milburn, where he had just held missions, there was not a single young man and scarcely a young woman to be seen. It was a shame that the devil should have the cream of the young people".
I get the impression that John was a bit of firebrand and I would love to be able to get copies of some of his sermons if they still exist. Writing this post has motivated me to see if the Methodist Church have any records remaining of John Gawthrop and his work. So I may be talking about him again if I am successful.

3.6 Change to services, alternative rental and cancellation of the contract by Interhome
Interhome has the right to rescind the contract before or during the rental period if unforeseeable or unavoidable circumstances make it impossible to hand over the rental property, endanger the hirer or the property or impair the provision of services to such an extent that it is no longer reasonable to fulfil the contract.
Alternatively, you may, if notified by us before starting your journey, request us to provide a rental property of at least equivalent value within 10 days if we are in a position to offer such a property from our range without any additional cost.
Interhome is under no obligation to pay compensation in any of the instances referred to in section 3.6.
4. Arrival and departure; curtailment or extension of stay
When the final payment has been made in full and not more than four weeks before your arrival date you will receive the travel documentation showing you as the authorised hirer for the rental property booked. You should hand this voucher to the keyholder on arrival. The location for the handover of keys on arrival and departure will not necessarily be at the holiday home or resort. You must follow the arrival times in the travel documentation, normally between 16.00 and 19.00, and must depart before 10.00. The arrangements for arrival shown in your travel documentation are binding; exceptions cannot be guaranteed and must be agreed in good time directly with the keyholder.
If you are unable to take over the property as agreed, e.g. because of increased volume of traffic, strikes, etc., or for personal reasons, the rental will remain payable in full. The same will apply if you vacate the property early. If you would like to extend your stay, you should discuss this as early as possible with the booking agent.
During the season, it may be necessary to wait at the office where the keys are to be handed over.
5. Occupancy
The rental property must only be occupied by the specified number of persons (including children and infants). The keyholder may refuse to accept additional persons or invoice them separately. In the event of over-occupancy the keyholder is authorised to refuse to hand over the key and/or to immediately take the key back during the holiday.
6. Additional duties of the hirer
6.1 Lodgement of security deposit
A security deposit must be lodged on taking over of the key. You will find the amount of the security deposit, and also the payment method (in cash or by credit card) in the travel documentation. If the security deposit is not provided, handover of the property may be refused.
6.2 Duty of care
The rental property must be carefully looked after in use. Local house rules apply, and consideration must be given in particular to neighbours (noise, behaviour).
6.3 Kitchen cleaning
Cleaning of the kitchen furnishings, crockery and cutlery is the responsibility of the hirer (and is not included in the final cleaning).
6.4 Liability for damage
If the hirer or co-users causes any damage this must be reported immediately to the keyholder.
The hirer is liable for any damage m caused by him/her or co-users. The same applies if the apartment cannot be handed over to the next hirer. Any loss or damage may be offset against the security deposit (paragraph 6.1).
7. Duty to report faults and period for registration of claims
Should the condition of the property not be in accordance with the contract, or if you suffer any injury, this must be reported immediately to the keyholder. If the latter is unable to rectify the fault within a reasonable time, it is imperative that you inform the Interhome 24 h service hotline by telephone on +41 (0)840 84 88 88. If notification is not given immediately on commencement of the rental it will be assumed that the property is free of any defects. The same rules apply if any fault occurs during the rental period.
External circumstances and specific regional circumstances such as the presence of insects, stray dogs, unfavourable weather conditions or the condition of official nature trails do not entitle hirers to claim compensation.
Keyholders are not authorised to recognise claims or to issue legally binding statements. Any claims that cannot be settled by the Interhome service hotline must be notified in writing to the booking agent within four weeks from the end of the contractual rental and the necessary evidence submitted (photographs, confirmation of the keyholder or the local office, etc.).
If you fail to comply with the above regulations and registration period you will forfeit all rights to compensation.
8. Liability of Interhome
Statutory liability for loss or damage other than personal injury (e.g. damage to property or financial loss) is limited to the rental (with claims from all persons involved being counted together). If the services of Interhome become subject to international conventions or national laws which further limit or exclude its liability, those conventions or laws will apply. Interhome will not be liable if the loss or damage is caused by any of the following:
a) acts or omissions on your part, or on the part of a co-user;

Local historical and genealogical society newsletters are often an excellent source of information about an area's records. One such example is that of the Southwestern North Carolina Genealogical Society Quarterly, which covered the counties of Cherokee, Graham, and Clay in Western North Carolina.
The SWNCGSQ was published from Winter 1984 (Volume I, Number I) to Fall 1994 (Volume XI, Number IV). Articles were primarily record extractions and queries; a large amount of coverage was given to marriage records, cemetery surveys, census indexes, and lists of delayed birth certificates for all three counties, with member-contributed pedigree charts and family group sheets thrown in for good measure.
At some point after the SWNCGSQ ceased publication, a surname index was compiled covering all issues. The index can be found at the public libraries located within Cherokee, Clay, and Graham Counties. Issues of the quarterly are available at the same locations and in the Family History Library.

We've had a bumper crop of zucchini this year, so naturally we've been making lots and lots of zucchini bread. The recipe we use was handed down by my maternal grandmother, Ruth (Anderson) Ledford, who was a superb cook. (Ah, Sunday dinners!) This recipe can easily be divided in half for those who only want a little bread.
Zucchini Bread
4 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
3 cups self-rising flour
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (we like pecans)
Blend all ingredients together in a large bowl until all ingredients are incorporated. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes or until the loaves test done in the center.
Enjoy warm with butter or cream cheese, or wrap and store for a later treat.

If you are the type of person who thinks shining a laser into a police helicopter at four in the morning sounds like a good time, be warned that the FBI can and will identify you by the cut and color of your underwear.
We know this thanks to a 23-year-old Texan named Kenneth Santodomingo, who according to the FBI was in the backyard of his Dallas home at 4:08am on January 28, 2013, shining a laser pointer into the cockpit of a Dallas Police Department helicopter called "Air 1." Santodomingo allegedly scored four direct hits on the cockpit; according to the FBI agent investigating the case, "the intensity of the light obscured the vision of the pilot and impaired the pilot's ability to control the aircraft."
The officers in the helicopter then used an infrared camera to track down the source of the light, and they directed police officers on the ground to a home on Lake June Road. When officers knocked on the door, Santodomingo opened it—but couldn't manage to unlock the burglar bars covering the door. He was, the FBI notes, "only wearing dark blue short style underwear." The officers had a conversation through the bars with their underwear-wearing subject, who at first denied any knowledge of what they were talking about. When the officers pointed out that the helicopter had recorded video of the incident, Santodomingo allegedly admitted that he had used a green laser to illuminate the helicopter. Why had he done it? Because he "wanted to see how far [the laser] would go."
In addition to this knowledge, Santodomingo will also learn just how far the judicial system will go in prosecuting such offenses. Previous experience tells us the answer is "all the way." He has been arrested and now faces federal charges. In preparing those charges, the FBI reviewed the footage taken by the police officers in the helicopter. As Special Agent Mark Sedwick put it in a court filing, "The video taken by the DPD helicopter showed that the individual using the laser in the backyard fit the description of Santodomingo and appeared to be wearing the same short style underwear at the time of the offense that Santodomingo was wearing when talking to officers."
Santodomingo faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Java Apps on the Raspberry Pi
I've been working on a few smaller projects (pun intended) involving Java SE Embedded and the Raspberry Pi. For those of you new to this platform, the Pi is an educational computer created to foster computer software and hardware development, aimed specifically at kids. Don't let its size fool you, it's a full-fledged computer complete with a desktop UI. To see just how small it is, this photo shows a Pi on a full-sized iPad.
Be sure to check out this page for the full history and inspiring story behind the Pi. It's an entire system on a chip, complete with 512MB of RAM, an ARMv6 CPU capable of running at 1GHz, two USB ports, an ethernet port, an HDMI and composite video port, and various I/O ports to serve as a controller for other devices, all for around $35.
The Raspberry Pi site contains stories with videos of school-age people building fantastic (and truly useful) projects with their Pi. But it doesn't end with kids. Hobbyists, teachers, and others interested in making the most of cool and affordable technology have done some interesting things with the Pi. And that includes me. I've been experimenting with Java on the Pi for the past few months, using it to control an Arduino via the serial (USB) port, among other experiments. Let's see what it takes to get up and running with Java on a Raspberry Pi. If you already have a Pi working, you can skip to the section titled "Upgrading Your OS Image" below. Don't skip that section, especially if your Pi has 512MB of RAM.
Setting Up Your Pi
After you acquire a Pi — I ordered mine through Amazon — you'll need to purchase an SD card to serve as local disk. Caution: Be careful which SD card you buy. Not only does it need to be one of the known cards that work with the Pi, you want to be sure to get one with enough space to hold the software you need, that it's fast enough so boot up and operation times are acceptable, and that the price is reasonable. Size matters if you want to install software such as Java, additionally libraries, a Java Servlet engine or embedded application server, or even a database. You can find a list of acceptable SD cards of all sizes, speeds, and manufactures here. I chose a SanDisk 32GB Ultra (30MB/s) class 10 SDHC card. This card provides good storage space with good performance, at a reasonable price ($25 to $50 depending on where you get it).
Next, you'll need to get an OS image and write it to the card. To do this, follow these steps:
- Download the right version of the OS for Java to work. Currently, Java requires software-based floating-point support (also called SoftFP). You can download the soft-float version of Debian "Wheezy" here.
- "Burn" the OS image to the SD card from your host computer, which can be a desktop or laptop running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. Instructions are available, but personally I found that the RPI-sd card builder for Mac OS X (worked best on my Mac, although the command-line works as well. For Windows, the best choice is Win32DiskImager. For Linux, there's ImageWriter or the command-line. If you run into problems, or you just don't care to spend your time burning OS images, you can purchase SD cards with a Raspberry Pi Linux OS already on it.
Once your SD card is ready, place the card into the card slot on the back of your Pi (see image below), and power it up.
To power the Pi, you plug a micro USB end of a USB cable into the Pi, and the other end into either a powered USB hub, a wall socket adapter (such as ones that most smartphones like the iPhone use), or the USB port of a computer. Whichever power source you choose, make sure there's enough current available to reliably power your Pi, especially if you plan to plug in a keyboard and mouse into the Pi's USB ports.
For our purposes, a keyboard and mouse are not required. You'll simply need to plug your Pi into your home network via the ethernet cable, although USB wireless adapters are available as well. From there we'll be working from the command-line.
Logging Into Your Pi
Once your Pi is up and running, powered via the micro USB port, and plugged into your home network, you can login via SSH from your desktop or laptop computer, or even from another Raspberry Pi. I do this sometimes to easily transfer files (via FTP or SCP) from one Pi to another. The default user ID is "pi", and default password is "raspberry". Note: Since most people have the same default login information for their Pi, you should change this password right away if you plan to access your Pi remotely in any way.
Upgrading Your OS Image — Don't Skip This!
Unless it has been updated since I wrote this, the image you installed is only set to see about 256MB of RAM. If you have the latest revision Pi, you have 512MB RAM, and there's no reason to waste half of it. If you run the "top" command and see ~188MB total RAM, you'll need to update the OS to see all available RAM. To do so, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have superuser privileges.
Type: sudo -i
- Enter the following command, which takes about five minutes to complete.
Type: apt-get update
- The final command is just slightly different than the first, so be careful entering it. Also, it takes over an hour to complete, so you'll need to be patient.
Type: apt-get upgrade
When the commands finish, reboot your Pi and run the top command again. This time, the total RAM should be close to 512MB.
Install Java SE Embedded
Running Java on your Pi means that you can tap into all of the available libraries and open-source code, as well as knowledge and talent in the developer community worldwide. To begin, download Java SE Embedded from Oracle. For the Pi, you'll need Java SE 7 Embedded for ARMv6/7 Linux Softfloat, found here. Note that there are other downloads available for different ARM versions, PowerPC, and even a small footprint x86 version.
Copy (via FTP or SCP) this file over to your Pi, unzip it, and you're ready to go. I placed the resulting directly right in my home directory. The technical requirements to install this revision of Java SE Embedded are: Linux kernel 2.6.28 or higher, glibc 2.9 or higher, VFP, SoftFP ABI, at least 32MB RAM available for Java, and ~45MB of disk/flash space.
Oracle Java Embedded Suite
Don't stop with just the JVM. You can install the Oracle Java Embedded Suite (JES), which includes an embedded version of Glassfish, Java DB, the Jersey web services framework, in addition to Java SE Embedded. So technically you can skip the previous step of installing standalone Java if you download the install JES, available here.
JES includes a scaled-back version of the Glassfish Java EE application server, but it does run most Java Servlets unchanged, and with the web services frameworks, it makes for an excellent web server / application interface. For the specifics, read the documentation.
Other Application Servers
IBM offers the Websphere Liberty Profile download, specifically for the Raspberry Pi, available here. For more information on how to install and use it, along with videos showing it in use, go here.
Java ME v3.3
If you're using the Pi as a platform to develop and test a Java application for a much more constrained device (i.e., small memory or disk footprint), you can install Java ME on your Pi. This includes both the CDC and CLDC (for very small devices), with which you can test your embedded Java application. Specifically, the CLDC-based runtime is targeted for use on highly memory-constrained devices (up to 1MB), also known as Oracle Java ME Embedded. The CDC-based runtime is targeted for use on devices with slightly higher memory capacity (up to 10MB), also known as Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client.
You can find versions of Java ME built specifically for the Raspberry Pi here. To see Java ME on the Pi in action, check out this video.
My Cool Project: Raspberry Pi --> Arduino via Java
If you're interested in my ongoing project, where I use Java on a Raspberry Pi to control an Arduino, which in turn will control some other electrical device via a PowerSwitch Tail, check out this video I recently posted to YouTube. I'll be updating YouTube with new videos as my project progresses. Be sure to share stories and videos of your own cool projects once you get Java up and running on your Raspberry Pi!
Happy coding!

The music to the upcoming film Yuvvraaj (first discussed with trailers here) is A. R. Rahman standard. It is easily among the best of the year, if not the best. Only the Mozart from Madras can kick off a Hindi film soundtrack with a Beethoven symphony (the fifth) featuring the voice of Salman Khan, and later make one rock to an Indian classical piece. Loveleh! Go buy it as soon as you can, you'll be glad you did! More on the music to follow. For now, I hope you enjoy the lyrics and translation to the song Tu Hi Toh Meri Dost Hai, with vocals by Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghosal, and A. R. Rahman. The lyrics are by Gulzar. You can listen to all songs at this link.
The song will most definitely sound better when placed in the context of the film. It's a brilliant duet, and requires careful listening to appreciate the dialogue exchange between two romantically involved characters, which the song very likely is. Unless it is 'voice' singing a love song and the one being spoken to is music, which could be the case, don't you think?
I really like how it oozes music and references thereof. Beautiful. Katrina Kaif playing the cello (she looks absolutely gorgeous in the trailers) will only add to its beauty. It's very consistent with the theme of the film and its tagline: 'Music binds love'. Also like the reference to traveling through the skies and heavens, which might well be a very deliberate reference to divinity, with the unifier, of course, being 'love'. The reference has been used before in Bollywood in a similar context (perhaps the most popular being Aao Huzoor Tum Ko by Asha Bhosle in Kismat (1968), which had music by O. P. Nayyar). This one is as good as any other.
PS: The album artwork and accompanying songbook with lyrics spell the title of the song as 'Tu Hi Toh Meri Dost Hain', which is incorrect -- it's 'hai' (singular), not 'hain', e.g. 'ek hai' (one is) versus 'do hain' (two are).
This note added 10/17:
Also see lyrics and translation of the songs: Dil Ka Rishta, Mastam Mastam.
