What's yellow and black and full of raging hormones? No, not the campus of Georgia Tech. If you're a gay man, and a few straight women who love their gays, it's most likely a little app on your phone that has revolutionized the way gay men do anything.
Grindr co-founder and Senior VP of Product & Design, Scott LeWallen, dreamed up his self-funded smart phone application with Joel Simkhai while living in New York City.
"We thought, 'how can we make it easier to meet and find each other?'" LeWallen told SFGN.
LeWallen, whose department is tasked with design and dreaming up the cool new features for Grindr users, said he and Simkhai had high hopes for the app when it launched on March 29, 2009. "When it started to snowball, to me that's a testament as to how tech can help people."
Three years later Grindr now boasts more than 4 million users, representing 192 counties with 1.5 million in the United States alone. The smart phone app launched on the iPhone, but is now a cross platform app compatible with Android and Blackberry as well.
Eryx, a 28-year-old gay Brazilian now living in Miami told SFGN that even though there were always gay bars and clubs, those are closed environments and some people just aren't into it.
"A guy that is in his 30s without ever having sex can now check into Grindr and find a fuckbuddy at his gym, class or any other scenario where figuring out a person's sexuality isn't that easy or exposed" said Eryx. "There's also the targeted violence deal (straight homophobes and groups that make profiles to find and interact with gay guys they lure from these apps), the risks of finding someone you know or from your family, and the higher rate of infidelity because of the apps making it easier for a cheater to find an occasional or recurring lover."
Not everyone is as high praising or optimistic about the app.
David Rameaux is 26 and originally from New York like LeWallen. The Fort Lauderdale resident was quick to offer this thought when asked how Grindr has changed the way he interacts with other gay men and sex: "Grindr destroyed the idea of meeting a guy at a bar. Hookups are now at the tip of your fingers; tucked away in your pocket. You can find sex while you sit on the toilet."
Robbie Smith, a writer for the Melbourne, Australian gay news site SameSame, thinks Grindr is to blame for the "death of gay strips in our major cities."
"Once havens that attracted a 'liquorice all-sorts' in the gay fraternity are now seen as desperate and dateless dance parties littered with ageing drag queens," Smith said. "Instead of waltzing to the local pink palazzo, stacks of guys are powering up Grindr at any hetero nightspot and scouring the talent, discreetly of course."
LeWallen knows you can't change who a person in in this day in age.
"People will live in the virtual world. By doing so, it opens up the chance for them to connect to people they never would meet."
He also believes that gay men shouldn't have to go to obviously gay places to meet other gay people like Smith suggests. "Places where being gay is criminalized, Grindr helps those people find one another" LeWallen said. "What we at Grindr found is there are a lot of gay destinations, and Grindr offers an alternative way to meet and greet people."
Dennis Sundquist thinks Grindr is just a tool to help the egos of gay men. "I don't think it really changed sex," Sundquist said. "It pretty much just built itself on the foundation of other online personal sites like Adam4adam, Manhunt and Outpersonals." Sundquist thinks Grindr has added a new level of ageism and narcissism.
"Some 20-year-old without a face pic, sent me one of his anorexic, yet somehow flabby torso, hit me up to tell me I was fat; that he was glad he wasn't a whale like me" Sundquist said. Sundquist did add that he believes that apps like Grinder and Scruff, and sites like Adam4Adam can be helpful in places that don't have the benefit of a prominent gay community.
Contacting another gay person in remote areas of America, or anywhere in the world, can be difficult. "We get testimonials from guys in remote areas who have no way to meet people" LeWallen said. At least with Grindr you know someone is close. We're creating lasting relationships, whether they are in person or over our app because you're separated by hundreds of miles."
Everything in life has its pros and cons. LeWallen promises exciting new changes to the app including a new communities section and a more advanced filter option. He summed up all his thoughts with this: "No matter what, your experience, the outcome of anything is all up to you."

After a DNF at the Rally American season opener, Ken Block's aiming to win his fifth 100 Acre Woods Rally this weekend behind the wheel of his Ford Fiesta rally car. If only band practice had been this fun.
You can see Block and his navigator Alex Gelsmino shaking down the new Fiesta at a ranch near the 100 Acre Woods course in the video below. We're gonna guess driving over muddy gravel is a little different than sliding across ice and snow.

Thanks for your new blog entry. Do you know if this journal entry was written in his own handwriting? If so, Do you happen to have a copy of it? I have a typed copy that was given to me years ago (can't remember by whom) but it isn't quite the same as your blog entry. Yours has more detail. Do you know if a complete journal exists for Isaac John Wardle?
I have attached some research that I have done.
Iva Beckstead
According to The Journal of Langley Allgood Bailey, edited by Allen C. Christensen, "I was taken down with a hemerage (hemorrhage) of the bowles (bowels). I was unable to walk. Had to be hauled on Bro. Isaac J. Wardle and my brother, John's cart. After reaching Florence (Nebraska), a Doctor was consulted. (The Doctor) said I must not go another step or I would die and be buried on the road side. A captain named Tune would not administer to me—said he did not have faith enough to rais(e) the dead. Mother, on hearing that Apostle F. D. Richards and C. H. Wheelock had arrived in camp, got them to administer to me. They promised me I would live to reach the vallies (valleys). All this time I was uncounsis (unconscious) of what was going on."
One account written by a granddaughter of Isaac, Ollie Palmer Parkinson, states: "I remember grandfather telling us how he left bloody tracks in the snow as they came across the plains, and how he prayed for a pair of shoes and he came on to a pair by the side of the road. They were small for him and hurt his feet, but how good they felt to him, and he knelt and thanked his Heavenly father for them."
Another time Ollie states that her grandfather said, "They almost starved to death and more than once they singed the hair off the hides and chewed that. The longer they chewed, the larger it got. They would take it out of their mouths and cutoff another piece and chew again."
They had to cross streams and rivers that were filled with ice chunks. On page 5 of the book Of Dugouts and Spires by Ronald R. Bateman, 1998 published by the South Jordan City Corporation it states, "Isaac J. Wardle helped bury twenty people in a single grave in that desolate white wilderness."

The Baltimore Area Council is proud to be at the front-end of STEM programming. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We have built a strong tradition over the past two years with events at Fort Meade, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and several other locations across Central Maryland.
The STEM disciplines are considered by many to be the foundation for academic and professional fields of an advanced society. In many forums – including political/governmental and academic – the strength of the STEM workforce is viewed as an indicator of a nation's ability to sustain itself.
What does this mean? In the Baltimore Area Council, we are working hard to align ourselves with local education and other programs to help enrich the lives of Scouts. That's at the very core of our mission, and can truly expose young people to another world. Did you know that STEM program has existed in the Boy Scouts of America since the very beginning of our program? Some of the very first merit badges were STEM related; they just weren't referred to that way. A great example is Computers merit badge which has been offered since 1968. That's much earlier than computers were adopted in the mainstream, and we have continued to be cutting edge including the recent release of the Robotics Merit Badge.
STEM recognition in the BSA comes in the form of the NOVA award and the prestigious SUPERNOVA award. These awards are presented to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers who display knowledge and understanding of STEM concepts through the completion of project requirements. More information can found by clicking the links to the right.
Please keep an eye on the upcoming STEM events located to the right for great information about exciting programs, including STEM merit badge days at Fort Meade and APG, as well as brand new, cutting edge STEM programming at Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation!!
The Baltimore Area Council has had STEM events such as:.

Ex-police chief of Helotes is sentenced to jail
Former Helotes Police Chief Morton Howard Ault took on a new role Friday — Bexar County Jail inmate — after a judge ordered a six-month term for a $33,000 swindle involving police car repairs.
Ault, 50, was escorted to a holding cell by deputies immediately after state District Judge Ron Rangel announced the incarceration — a condition of eight years deferred adjudication probation.
The defendant, currently a used car salesman, will be allowed to leave jail during work hours. He also was ordered to continue paying restitution to Helotes.

So far, $10,000 has been returned in the 11 months since pleading no contest to abuse of official capacity.
Under terms of the plea, prosecutors agreed to remain silent regarding his probation request if he was able to reach the $10,000 mark before the sentencing hearing, which originally was set for last June. The hearing was postponed a half-dozen times as Ault's attorney asked for more time to raise money.
Rangel also ordered 200 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine.
Ault, a 22-year Helotes Police Department employee who spent his last four as chief, agreed to never work in law enforcement again.
His legal woes began in August 2010, when the City Council tipped off the Texas Rangers to allegations he was funneling money to his adult son, Morton Roy Ault. The elder Ault was fired two months later.
"Everyone from the mayor to the city manager to the City Council was aware that his son was doing repairs to police cars ... and he'd do them sometimes in the parking lot of the police station," defense attorney Bobby Barrera said. "This is not something he was hiding. He did violate the law, but he had no intent to go out and commit a crime."
Barrera said his client "fell on his sword," having taken a plea to protect his son from prosecution.
But the chief's intentions didn't appear that innocent to prosecutors.
Ault and his son set up a shell company called Too Tall Electronics that was registered to their home address, authorities alleged. Helotes officers later told the Texas Rangers that repairs the city was billed for were never made.
"He was indicted for work that was never performed," prosecutor James Ishimoto said. "It seems to me the defendant played a much larger role than he wants to admit."
Ault did not address the judge during the hearing, but he did submit a five-page letter in which he noted problems in his personal life and lashed out at Helotes Mayor Tom Schoolcraft.
His troubles began, he wrote, after he confronted Schoolcraft for using city-issued credit cards for personal expenses and after the mayor asked him to target nonresident motorists for speeding tickets.
"I was shocked and I told the mayor that was illegal and cannot be done," Ault told the judge of the alleged speeding ticket conversation. "He then became angry once again and his face turned red and (he) walked away from me towards City Hall."
Schoolcraft could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.
Adriana Biggs, chief of the district attorney's white-collar-crimes unit, said the letter is the first her agency has heard of such allegations. A defendant doesn't have to be under oath to submit a letter, she pointed out.
"These words are coming from now an individual who has been sent to jail, so you have to consider the source ... and the timing," she said.

Miami Dolphins
Before the blow-up, Miami Dolphins' Jonathan Martin was brainy, brawny 'nerd'
LOS ANGELES -- Everyone knew Jonathan Martin as "Moose" at Harvard-Westlake, an elite prep school for the children of Los Angeles' corporate and entertainment executives that is perched among the pines of Coldwater Canyon. Martin, a 6-foot-5 football star, reflexively bent over to hug classmates upon greeting them. When he wasn't flattening opponents with pancake blocks, he played the viola, which looked like a toy in his large hands.
"Jonathan was by far the biggest man on campus, but he was also a big puppy," said Dave Levy, offensive coordinator for the football team. "Not a jokester, and a bar fight wouldn't be his style. He was an achiever, as is each student here. He was a serious kid, but he always had a smile on his face and was a friend to all."
Martin, who attended a private elementary school in Bel-Air and was raised in a neighborhood known as the "Black Beverly Hills" by Harvard-educated parents, grew up in a lush world of privilege and propriety. The Miami Dolphins locker room, where Martin said he was bullied, insulted and harassed during his first two seasons as a pro, must have seemed like an inferno.
Martin majored in classics at Stanford, and his bulk belied the poetry in his soul, but he should not have been ostracized just because he didn't fit the NFL stereotype, his friends said.
"You can love literature and be a very tough football player," said Andrew Phillips, a Stanford teammate. "You can be a smart athlete. That doesn't have to be an oxymoron."
Martin, 24, fled the Dolphins after a lunchroom prank sent him over the edge on Oct. 28 and returned home, where he has been receiving treatment for depression. Ted Wells, appointed by the NFL to investigate whether the crass culture created an unbearable workplace, arrived in Miami on Monday to question players and coaches, including the suspended Richie Incognito, who has been portrayed as the main perpetrator of Martin's abuse.
Martin talked with Wells for seven hours on Friday, but has not publicly aired his side of the story. He has turned down interview requests, including one from Oprah Winfrey, pending completion of the investigation.
Daunting standards
Incognito, who nicknamed his introspective, intellectual offensive line mate "Big Weirdo," would be the oddball at Harvard-Westlake, where both the $32,500 tuition and standards for admission are daunting. Nearly a third of graduates go on to Ivy League colleges or Stanford, which was Martin's choice in 2008.
The rigorous curriculum and high expectations led to a spike in mental health dropouts, which the school is addressing with a Workload Committee and a survey of stress levels. Opportunities abound for the student body, which is 78 percent white or Asian, 8 percent black and 8 percent Latino. There are trips to Rwanda, Spain, China or California ski slopes; visiting lecturers on ancient papyri or Shakespeare; internships at Loyola Law School; art tutoring at inner city schools; Drama Lab plays; high-tech science center; a marathon reading of Moby-Dick; 28 sports, including fencing and equestrian, and an award-winning newspaper, which featured a story headlined "Martin '08 leaves NFL team, sparks national bullying debate" in its November issue.
Tacked to bulletin boards are signs that read "Ethics: Obedience to the Unenforceable" or "From Caring Comes Courage" or an article entitled "Why Can't We All Just Get Along? The Uncertain Biological Basis of Morality." The school motto, Possunt Quia Posse Videntur, means "They can because they think they can."
Among the alumni of Harvard-Westlake — separate boys' and girls' schools merged in 1991 – are actors Mark Harmon, Shirley Temple, Candice Bergen, Jon Lovitz, Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, astronaut Sally Ride, swimmer Dara Torres, basketball-playing twins Jason and Jarron Collins, philanthropist and film producer Steven Bing and Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti.
Martin thrived as a quiet captain of the team, according to teammates. They enjoyed cutting their own hip-hop CDs, eating at In-N-Out Burger, celebrating homecoming week with funky haircuts, lifting in the weight room. During dreaded workouts on the hill behind the school, Martin chugged up the path behind teammates.
"I remember him from when he was a lumbering kid with a big, goofy afro," said friend Terry O'Neal. "He really grew into himself and got ambitious about football, even though Harvard-Westlake set us up for any career option we wanted to pursue."
O'Neal played football at UCLA for two years before leaving the team, partly because he got tired of being teased for "not being black enough." In the voicemail that set off the entire bullying imbroglio, Incognito called Martin a "half-n-----" – which Incognito said was a term often used in brotherly jest. Martin, in fact, sent Incognito a text saying he didn't blame him, but that the locker room culture "got to me a little." Dolphins players have said Incognito, 30, who is white, was considered "an honorary black man."
"I was a target and experienced some resentment of the way I carried myself, talked, and dressed," said O'Neal, an investment banker. "Jonathan faced the same kind of alienation. Not everyone reacts well to the fun and games from the guys locked into this machismo culture. Why should we be made to feel ashamed about our background when we worked hard and our parents worked hard to get where we are?"
O'Neal said Martin's parents, both lawyers, never taught him to retaliate. Martin's father, Clarence Augustus "Gus" Martin, is associate dean of the College of Business Administration and Public Policy at Cal State-Dominguez Hills. Martin has also relied on the expertise of his mother, Jane Howard-Martin, general counsel at Toyota who has specialized in employment law, such as sexual harassment and disability cases. She once investigated a restaurant in Washington, D.C., for refusing to allow blacks to work outside the kitchen. In a 2002 USA Today essay headlined "Stop workplace harassment in your company," she wrote that "a policy against harassment is not valuable unless employees believe it will be enforced."
Words, not fists
Martin's maternal great-grandfather, John Fitzgerald, graduated from Harvard in 1924 and was friends with W.E.B. DuBois, the trailblazing author, historian and civil rights activist, when black students were not allowed to sleep in campus dorms. Martin would have been Harvard's first fourth-generation African-American student had he picked it over Stanford. He's said he wants to attend Harvard law school when his football career ends.
"His family uses words, not fists," O'Neal said. "Moose was taught to use reason in the tradition of Martin Luther King. He was taught the Harvard-Westlake way, the Stanford way."
In Miami, misery and pressure squeezed Martin like a vise. He missed two days of spring practice because he was depressed and needed treatment, which the Dolphins helped provide for him, said an associate of Martin who did not want his name used. Bullying by teammates continued with constant verbal jabs, a vulgar reference to his sister and a "malicious physical attack," said Martin's lawyer, David Cornwell. As the season progressed, the offensive line was lambasted for allowing a record-pace number of sacks of Ryan Tannehill. The Dolphins lost four games in a row, and Martin was switched to another position with the signing of Bryant McKinnie. After he left, he checked himself into a medical facility for a few days.
Given Martin's analytical, introverted nature, and the suffering he endured, he likely felt he had no other recourse, said Monica Wofford, author of Make Difficult People Disappear and CEO of Contagious Companies.
"Martin is Mother Teresa and Richie is Mike Tyson in terms of conflict resolution," Wofford said. "These are hard-wired personalities. Richie is an outgoing, aggressive, appreciation-seeking guy who tried to turn Martin into something he is not. Martin is the type who wants to get everything right, so he sucks it in, stuffs his emotions away and gets labeled the weak pantywaist.
"There needed to be mutual acceptance of differences. We often marry our opposite, and marriages aren't always doomed. Neither of these men had the emotional maturity or tools to mediate in that very insensitive NFL environment."
Martin retreated home to Ladera Heights, where he grew up on a tranquil street of 1960s-era homes distinguished by exquisite topiary. Neighbors say the Martins were polite to an almost formal degree but not gregarious.
"They might come to the annual block party, and Jonathan would always say hello when he walked the dog, but mostly they kept to themselves, and seemed busy with jobs and school," said Frances Stoeckl, who has lived there for 38 years. "It's a shame such a nice family has to be dragged into this mess."
The Martins' straw-colored ranch has a sale contract pending for $1.1 million. Realtors were in and out Friday, and Stoeckl hasn't seen the Martins' cars there for days. Camera crews that were camped out on the lawn have left. Martin was last seen at the house when he drove off to watch Harvard-Westlake's final game of the season.
He reappeared in town Saturday night at the L.A. Coliseum, standing on the Stanford sideline during USC's 20-17 upset of the Cardinal. He was caught on camera wearing a black cap backwards, texting and grinning. TV commentator Brent Musberger said: "Big fella needs to go back to work someplace."
Before the game, USC fans waved sarcastic signs, such as: "Jonathan Martin whines more than Taylor Swift," and "Jonathan Martin thought my other sign was too mean!!!" and "Incognito for pledge trainer."
But Stanford alumni at the game supported Martin, pointing out the irony of the image of him as bullying victim with his reputation as an anchor of a gritty, overpowering, smash-mouth style of play implemented by Coach Jim Harbaugh that elevated a mediocre program to No. 3 in the nation in 2011. Martin was left tackle bodyguard for Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and blocker for running back Toby Gerhart.
"Soft is the last word you would use," said Edward Conger, an engineer from Sunnyvale. "Martin mowed people down. Harbaugh knew he could recruit burly nerds. He proved that brain schools can win."
Winning with class, however, is important at Stanford. Conger and friends Andy Eiser and Dan Kostel applauded when a Stanford defensive back shook the hand of a USC receiver he had just clobbered.
"I think it's great that a former Stanford player could be the one to lead a revolution for change in NFL culture," said Eiser, an editor at The Hollywood Reporter. "People have seen the ugly side of it, and they think it's archaic."
At Stanford, Martin added 40 pounds to increase his weight to 302. He excelled in a program that emphasized a balance between academics and athletics. He fit right in among the strivers in affluent Palo Alto.
Phillips persuaded him to major in classics. They studied Homer, Herodotus, Virgil. They wrote papers on Greek art, mythology, origins of political thought.
"We'd do Latin problem sets after practice, while the mechanical engineering majors had to make a robot that sank a basket and celebrated," Phillips said. "It was a demanding, enriching environment. We enjoyed the storied nature of classics, the idea that hundreds of years ago people were thinking about the same immortal questions on life, love and conflict."
Professor Jennifer Trimble taught Martin in an eight-person seminar on ancient Roman slavery and remembers him vividly.
"Even when discussions got heated and opinions really differed, Jonathan always heard people out with respect and attention," she said. "At the same time, he never hesitated to speak his own mind and offer a different perspective. He did this so thoughtfully, and with such force of presence and character, that people really listened to him and often changed their minds as a result. I've never seen an undergraduate, before or since, show such effective personal leadership."
Professor Richard Martin remembers Martin's sense of humor, and likes to think Martin's studies "did something to form him, and even reinforce his considerable backbone in his current situation."
Martin decided to turn pro after his junior season, was drafted 42nd and signed a four-year, $4.8 million contract with the Dolphins. To prepare for the NFL, Martin came home every summer and trained at Harvard-Westlake. Levy worked with him refining the special skills required of offensive lineman — keen balance, hand and arm technique with lightning assessment of the defensive line's movements.
"O linemen don't have beautiful bodies but they tend to be the most intelligent, cohesive unit on the team," Levy said. "No coach wants a dumb thug up front."
Levy said he only observed benign teasing during his years as an NFL assistant and can't imagine Martin's Dolphin coaches were unaware of his torment.
"I can picture Jonathan in the orchestra room, towering over the other students," Levy said. "Then he gave up music to focus on football. For him to walk away from his dream, to be driven away from his dream, must mean that he was at the breaking point."

I installed
kubuntu-desktop and
xubuntu-desktop over the default Ubuntu 10.10.
I want to unclutter the menu, so that applications related to a particular desktop appear in menu only during their respective sessions. (i.e., No KDE and XFCE apps in menu during Ubuntu GNOME session. Similarly in KDE and XFCE sessions.)
How can this be done via command line? (I want to learn things the command-line way.)
Should I backup anything before I do this?
Extra Information:
I googled and found this and other solutions in forums, but these address only the KDE on GNOME scenario. Perhaps this can be modified to include XFCE as well, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
I have also cross-posted at askubuntu.

Citrus-Soy Fish Fillet with Soba Noodles + Free Kampachi Drawing!
You will LOVE this free drawing, my friends…read on!
Also in the Tampa Tribune
Buying fish at the supermarket is one of those things that make me nervous. First off, the only thing I can ever afford is farm-raised tilapia from who-knows-where and whatever the fishmonger has on sale. Secondly, cooking fish is finickier than chipmunk in heat – 60 seconds is all that separates a moist, tender fillet from a dry, tough, overcooked rain jacket. Do I risk $16.99/lb for a grouper or $24.99/lb for monkfish? If the fish isn't sushi-grade, is it ok to cook medium-rare? What if the recipe I found in the cookbook sucks and I end up with an inedible dinner? What if I misjudge my timing?
The poor fishmonger watches as I stand in front of the glass case, wringing my hands, calculating the price/risk index for each fish on display. Most days, I'll opt for nice hunk of salmon, as my pocketbook is comfortable with the ratio of $9.99 per pound x high-fat content that it almost impossible to overcook.
A couple of weeks ago, a company called Kona Blue, overnighted to me a few pounds of a fish called kampachi to try. It's Hawaiian yellowtail, sustainably raised off the coast of Hawaii at their farms. Like salmon, it's chock full of Omega 3 oils, so it's succulent, firm and rich. The best part is that it's raised in a clean, controlled setting and it's sushi-grade.
The kampachi fillets were one of the most beautiful, moist fish I've ever cooked at home. The true test was that I even accidentally overcooked the fish, because the moment the timer went off, something called, "sibling rivalry" screamed from the other room and demanded my immediate attention.
The price/risk ratio? Well, it's expensive if you mail order from Kona Blue. $17.00/lb for fillets plus $35 for FedEx. Ouch. But some of the best restaurants in town and a handful of markets carry the fish. Here is a partial list of retailers and restaurants.
Tampa & Sarasota Readers: Tampa, FL restaurants are not listed there, but you can find Kona Kampachi at Roy's, Bern's, Sidebern's, Mise en Place, Lakeland Yacht Club, Grand Hyatt Tampa and the Tampa Yacht Club. I just visited Whole Foods in Sarasota and they LOVE Kona Kampachi. Call or visit them and tell Ryan the fish manager that you want him to order! They have it sometimes, but the more people who ask, the more available the fish will be!
It's certainly a fish that I'd beg or bribe my local fishmonger to carry.
Free Kampachi Drawing
But, my dear friends, I've got a surprise for you. Kona Blue has graciously given me some prizes to give away – packages of super-fresh Kona Blue Kampachi overnighted to 3 randomly chosen lucky winners. The fish is packed with tons of ice packs, and will arrive on your doorstep fresh as ever. I don't know how much they are sending to you, but I have a feeling it will be more than your entire family can eat in one sitting.
Oh, and since it's sushi-grade, you can eat it like sashimi with some soy and wasabi.
All you have to do is comment below! Accepting entries until Saturday morning after my morning coffee lunchtime…whenever that will be. Oh, and for my international friends, I don't think Kona Blue can ship overnight internationally, but enter anyways, and if you win, I'll personally ship you something nice….a box full of Steamy Kitchen goodies. Maybe some wonderful American spices, sauces, gadgets, books? Dunno yet, but I'll send something extra special.
Citrus-Soy Fish Fillet with Soba Noodles
While I used kampachi in this dish, you can certainly substitute with any fish fillets – your timing will be dependent on how thick your fish is. For thin fish like sole, fry 2 minutes, flip and then turn off the heat and let the residual heat finish the cooking. For thicker fish like salmon and kampachi, follow recipe below. Salmon fillets would work wonderful in this dish, as the bright citrus pairs perfectly with the fattiness of the salmon.
A note on the soba: when you boil the water for the noodles, generously salt your water, as you should any pasta. If the soba is well seasoned during cooking, you shouldn't need much sauce. I don't like my noodles drowning in sauce – the sauce should just lightly coat the fish and noodles, like in my photo. Now, if you do like a saucy noodles, just double the Citrus Soy Sauce recipe.
serves 4
4 fish fillets
salt & fresh ground pepper
6 oz. dried soba noodles
Citrus Soy Sauce:
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tbl lemon juice
2 tbl honey
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice wine or dry sherry
1 tsp lemon zest
Boil soba noodles according to directions on package, remember to generously salt your boiling water. Drain, set aside. While soba noodles are cooking, combine sauce ingredients in small saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. The sauce should be bright, sweet and slightly tart. Season fish fillets generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, non-stick pan with 2 tbl cooking oil over med-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add fillets and fry 3 minutes. Flip fish and fry another 2 minutes, take a quick peek by poking the thickest part of the fish and add another minute if needed. Serve fish over bed of soba noodles. Pour Citrus-Soy over fish.
I'm coming to Los Angeles!

There are many things about the US that I started missing immediately after arrival in China: unrestricted internet, entertaining TV, concept of "personal space", the use of bleach and other disinfectants in public restrooms, just to name a few.
Then there are the foodstuffs that, after months of searching, I came to realize are simply impossible to find. Chinese beers may cost pennies, but anything with actual hops are 3 times the Stateside price. Vegetables are insanely cheap, but good luck finding a decent box of cereal for less than $8. Markets have massive bins of Sichuan peppercorn and any dried seafood you'd desire, but I can't find cardamom anywhere in the city.
Therefore, friends and loved ones who go abroad are essential to a worldly cook's sanity. When Jacob returned from his last trip to Hungary, he toted back not only foie gras (hugs!!!), truffles (hugs!!!), and a plethora of Eastern European liquor (drunken hugs!!!), but also whole cardamom and cloves. It's amazing how much those two spices can automatically freshen up your kitchen cabinets. And it was fitting we would take turns making tons and tons of chai.
There are many different preparations for masala chai (usually replaced by the blanket term "chai" in the West), though standard preparations include black tea, milk, and a sweeteners. My own fail-proof masala chai involves simmering a few cups of brewed black tea with whole cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves for a few minute, adding an equal portion of whole milk at the end, then turning off the heat and stirring in sugar. I have also seen other versions that include ginger, black pepper, star anise, and allspice.
Two nights ago I decided to try out this recipe for Kashmiri chai on Epicurious. It called for chopped pistachios, saffron, and nutmeg in addition to my usual spices (sans cloves). You can also use almonds instead of pistachios. For my own convenience, I threw whole spices into the pot instead of grinding them up beforehand. The recipe also suggests an optional shot of gin (influence from British colonialists, I presume), which I didn't have. Vanilla vodka from Ikea, though, is a nice subsitute if you use sparingly.
One thing I don't miss about the US is ordering a chai at a café, naïvely expecting something homemade, and getting an Oregon Chai or Tazo blend every time. Not that I have anything against pre-made chai blends, but they all taste the same, which is of sticky sweet milk. It still amazes me that cafés which proudly advertise their 30 types of artisanal coffee blends will serve chai (and hot chocolate) out of a box.
What is your favorite recipe for homemade chai?
Kashmiri Chai
Makes 4 large drinks
- 3 cups water
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, shelled and chopped
- 10 whole cardamom pods, or 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- Pinch of saffron threads (10 to 15)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- Pinch salt
- 2 cups brewed black tea
- Bring the water and milk to a gentle simmer.
- Add the pistachios, cardamom, cinnamon, saffron, and nutmeg and simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, to allow the flavors to infuse. Stir in the brown sugar and salt. Taste and add more sugar if needed. Stir in the black tea.
- Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve. Divide into individual mugs and serve while still hot.

Slideshow: Hair Loss - Causes, Treatments and Solutions for Men & Women
Hair Loss Overview
More than half of men
and women in the United States experience hair loss. About 30% of
people have hair loss by 30 years of age, and about 50% have hair loss
by 50 years of age. Hair loss is so common that it is usually considered
a normal variation and not a disease. Other animals closely related to
humans, such as the chimpanzee, also lose their hair as they age.
What Are Causes of Hair Loss?
In general, most hair
loss is not associated with systemic or internal disease, nor is poor
diet a frequent factor. While thyroid disease can cause hair loss,
thyroid tests on people who have ordinary hair loss are usually normal.
Although many medications list "hair loss" among their potential side
effects, overall drugs are also not common causes of thinning or lost
hair. On the other hand, with cancer treatments and immune-suppression
medications, hair loss is more common.
Types of Hair Loss
One useful way to
classify hair loss is by whether the loss is localized and patchy or
whether it affects large areas or the whole scalp. We'll take a look at
some of the most common hair loss conditions on the following slides.
Alopecia Areata
A common hair loss
condition, alopecia areata, usually starts as a single quarter-sized
circle of perfectly smooth baldness. Alopecia patches often regrow in
three to six months without treatment. Sometimes, hair regrows in white
coloration. In another variant, alopecia areata can produce two or three
bald patches. When these grow back, they may be replaced by others. The
most extensive form of hair loss is called alopecia totalis, in which
the entire scalp becomes bald. It's important to emphasize that patients
who have localized hair loss generally don't lose hair throughout the
scalp. Alopecia can affect hair on other parts of the body, too (for
example, the beard).
Alopecia Areata (Continued)
Alopecia areata is
considered an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks
the hair follicles. Most alopecia patients do not have systemic problems
and need no medical tests. Alopecia is also often blamed on "stress,"
but in fact, it's usually the other way around. Having alopecia causes
the stress, at least until people find out what it is.
Treatments for
alopecia areata include injecting steroids into affected patches to
stimulate hair growth. This is not practical for large areas. Other
treatments, such as oral steroids or ultraviolet light therapy, are
either toxic or impractical. In most mild situations, patients can comb
over the affected areas. In more severe alopecia, patients may wear
hairpieces. Some men shave their whole scalp as that this look has
become fashionable.
Traction Alopecia
Tight braids and
ponytails can pull hard enough on hairs to make them fall out. If this
happens, it's best to choose hairstyles that put less pressure on hair
roots. The sooner this is done the better in order to avoid permanent
This melodramatic
name refers to the habit of pulling at hairs or twisting them, sometimes
without realizing it. The scalp and eyelashes are often affected.
Unlike alopecia areata patches, which are perfectly smooth, hair patches
in trichotillomania show broken-off hairs. Treatment is entirely
behavioral: You have to recognize that you're doing it and then stop!
Tinea Capitis (Fungal Infection)
Tinea capitis is also
known as ringworm of the scalp. This fungal infection generally affects
school-age children and may spread in schools. It appears as scalp
scaling associated with bald spots usually showing broken-off hairs.
Oral antibiotics are needed to penetrate the hair roots and cure the
infection after which hair grows back.
Telogen Effluvium
Under normal
conditions, scalp hairs live for about three years (the anagen, or
growing, phase); they then enter the telogen, or resting, phase. During
the three-month telogen period, the hair root shrivels up into a small
white "club," then the hair falls out. It is, therefore, normal to lose
about 100 hairs every day, more of them on days when shampooing loosens
the hairs that are ready to fall out. The hairs are then replaced by
natural regrowth.
Sometimes people
worried about losing their hair start noticing hairs on their pillow or
in the sink, not realizing that they've always been there. A close look
at these will usually reveal the white "club" at the end, showing that
these hairs were already dead. Normally, about 10% of scalp hairs are in
the telogen phase.
Telogen Effluvium (Continued)
There are several
circumstances that produce a "shock to the system" that alters the hair
growth rhythm. As a result, as much as 30%-40% of the hairs can cycle
into telogen. Three months later, hairs come out in a massive shedding
(effluvium), especially near the front of the scalp. These include
high fever,
Androgenetic Alopecia ("Male-Pattern Baldness," "Female-Pattern Baldness")
Everyone loses hair,
but men do it better -- faster, earlier, and more extensively. Doctors
refer to common baldness as "androgenetic alopecia," which implies that a
combination of hormones and heredity (genetics) is needed to develop
the condition. (The male hormones involved are present in both men and
Male-Pattern Baldness
Even men who never go
bald thin out over the years. Unlike those with reversible telogen
shedding, those with common male-pattern hair loss don't notice much
hair coming out; they just see that it's not there anymore. Adolescent
boys notice some receding near the temples as their hairlines change
from the straight-across boys' pattern to the more "M-shaped" pattern of
adult men. This normal development does not mean they are losing hair.
Myths About Male-Pattern Baldness
You inherit baldness
through your mother's male relatives. Actually, baldness can come from
either side of the family or both. Looking at your family can give you
at best an educated guess about how you'll turn out.
Longer hair puts a strain on roots. It doesn't. And hats don't choke off the circulation to the scalp to cause hair loss either.
Shampooing does not accelerate balding.
"Poor circulation" does not cause hair loss, and massaging doesn't stop it.
Female-Pattern Baldness
Women lose hair on an
inherited (genetic) basis, too, but the female pattern is more diffuse,
with less likelihood of the frontal hairline being lost. Although some
women may notice hair thinning as early as their 20s, the pace of hair
loss tends to be gradual, often taking years to become obvious to
others. (It's common to hear women with what appear to have a full head
of hair exclaim, "This is nothing...You should have seen how thick it
used to be!").
Notions about
baldness being inherited through the mother's family, just like stories
about hats choking off follicles or long hair pulling on the roots, are
just folklore.
Myths About Female-Pattern Baldness
Longer hair does not put a strain on roots.
Shampooing does not accelerate hair loss; it just removes those that were ready to fall out anyway.
Coloring, getting a
permanent, and conditioning the hair do not usually cause hair loss.
Styles that pull tight may cause some loss, but hair coloring and
"chemicals" don't cause hair loss.
Hair Loss Treatment
If hair loss is
caused by another illness, treatment of the illness is the best
treatment for hair loss. If hair loss is the only problem, then there
are many ways to treat it depending on how severe the loss is. The most
important consideration to make when deciding the type of treatment is
how much your hair loss bothers you.
Treatment options include medications, surgery, grooming techniques, wigs, and hairpieces.
Medications for Hair Loss
Many conditioners,
shampoos, vitamins, and other products claim to help hair grow in some
unspecified way. These are harmless but useless for hair regrowth. To
slow down hair loss, there are two basic options:
Minoxidil (Rogaine)
Finasteride (Propecia)
Minoxidil (Rogaine)
This topical
application is available over the counter, no prescription is required.
It works best on the crown, less on the frontal region. Available as a
2% solution, Rogaine may grow a little hair, but it's better at holding
onto what's still there. There are few side effects with Rogaine. One
concern with this treatment is the need to keep applying it twice a day,
and most men get tired of it after a while. In addition, minoxidil is
not as effective on the front of the head, which is where baldness
bothers most men. This drug also comes in a higher strength, 5%, which
may be a bit more effective.
Ask your doctor
about minoxidil (Rogaine). This is available over- the- counter and
available in 2% and 5% concentrations. It's something of a nuisance to
apply, but it helps conserve hair and may even grow some.
Finasteride (Propecia)
This is a lower-dose
version of a drug that shrinks prostates in middle-aged men. Propecia
is available by prescription and is taken once a day. Propecia does grow
and thicken hair to some extent, but its main use is to keep hair
that's still there. It's therefore best for men who still have enough
hair to retain. One side effect is impotence, but this is no more common
than it is in the general population and is reversible when the drug is
stopped. Taking Propecia once a day is easier that applying Rogaine,
but the prospect of taking a pill daily for years doesn't sit well with
some men.
Propecia is a drug
that helps men retain their hair. It is unsafe for women of childbearing
age to take this drug or even handle tablets. It is, however, safe for
their husbands to take it while they are trying to become pregnant.
Propecia is safe for older women but may not be very effective.
Surgery for Hair Loss
Surgical approaches
include various versions of hair transplantation (taking hair from the
back and putting it near the front) or scalp reduction (cutting away
bald areas and stitching the rest together). Transplant procedures have
improved greatly in recent years. They can produce much more attractive
and natural-looking results than older methods that sometimes left a
"checkerboard" look. Many transplant patients now take Propecia to keep
what they've transplanted. When considering a hair transplant, check the
surgeon's credentials and experience carefully.
Grooming Techniques, Wigs, Hairpieces, etc.
Styling hair to cover
the areas with the most hair loss is effective for mild cases. Washing
and styling the hair will not cause further hair loss. For more severe
hair loss, wigs and hairpieces can provide good results if you are
willing to try them. Hair weaving is a procedure in which a mesh is
attached to your remaining hair and artificial or human hair of similar
color and texture is woven with existing hair. Quality varies
considerably with price; also, hairpieces and weaves stretch, oxidize,
and loosen. Either of these options can be used in combination with
medications or surgery if the results of styling or the hairpiece alone
are not satisfying.

A good wedding DJ will keep your big day flowing and your dance floor moving. But hiring one could also set you back $1,000 or more. You can DJ your own wedding for a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing the flow or the dance party. You just need a playlist, a sound system and some planning.
Brian Zimmerman and his wife, Amy, pulled together the music for their December 2013 wedding in just a few days.
'Music is such a big part of our everyday lives, so it was easy to do a lot of that curating. It's something that we already spend so much time doing,' Brian Zimmerman says.
Not a music aficionado? Give yourself a few weeks to research and curate a playlist " because no one wants to download and organize songs the night before their wedding. Use these tips to be your own wedding DJ.The setup1. Rent a sound system
Your Bluetooth speaker might work great at home, but it won't pump out sufficient sound for a wedding " �especially if your event is outdoors. If your venue doesn't have a sound system, rent one.
Brandon Stiles, founder of Uptown Down Entertainment in Atlanta and author of 'How to DJ Your Own Wedding,' suggests the following setup:Two 12-inch speakers with standsA microphoneA laptop or music player (your own)
Renting equipment from a music store like Guitar Center or Sam Ash will set you back $75-$150 a day, plus a refundable deposit.2. Appoint a master of ceremonies
Enlist a friend or family member to help cue the music and make key announcements " like when dinner is served or it's time for the first dance.
Set your MC up for success. Make sure they know the day's timeline and can familiarize themselves with your playlists and sound system before the wedding day.3. Do a dry run
A missing cable. A bad mic. Audio feedback. Any one of these issues can throw a wrench into your music plans. Better to encounter them a day or two before the wedding, rather than an hour or two before.
That's where a dry run comes in. Set up everything like it's the main event and run through the various parts of your day " pre-ceremony music, ceremony readings, etc. Your officiant and MC will have a chance to practice, and you'll have time to address problems that arise.The playlist4. Make mini playlists
Your wedding day is made up of lots of moments " �some big, some small " that you'll want set to music. Make separate playlists for each of these moments, label them clearly and arrange them in chronological order to ensure your MC cues up the right tunes at the right time.
Here are a few moments that may warrant their own playlist:Pre-ceremony seating musicProcessional (parents, bridal party)Processional (bride)RecessionalCocktails and dinnerFirst danceParent dances (father/daughter, mother/son)General reception5. Pick crowd pleasers
You and your partner may love thrash metal, but Slayer isn't everyone's cup of tea. So save 'Raining Blood' for the after-party and stick to crowd pleasers during the reception.
'What people call typical wedding songs " �Motown, Stevie Wonder " �they became typical for a reason: They have universal appeal,' Stiles says. 'If you're playing heavy metal, not everyone is going to stand up and dance.'
Not sure where to start? Stiles recommends searching for the top 100 dance songs, and selecting popular tunes from various decades to engage guests both young and old.
That doesn't mean you can't slip in a few lesser-known favorites. The Zimmermans included tunes from indie and folk artists like Spoon, Cloud Cult and David Gray on their reception playlist.
'We wanted obscure, fun music that people could connect with,' Brian Zimmerman says of their intimate reception at the Gennett Mansion in Richmond, Indiana. 'We wanted people to hear something they liked and connect with a new artist.'6. Go premium, download everything
You don't want your first dance interrupted by a Target commercial or a spotty internet connection. Opt for a premium music service that offers ad-free offline listening. Then, download everything and store it on your music player.
Spotify Premium and Apple Music are both $9.99 a month, with generous promotions for new subscribers. Both services let you crossfade tracks " a handy DJ trick to avoid dead air between songs. Apple Music also lets you trim songs (via iTunes), so your guests can groove to Prince's 'Let's Go Crazy,' minus the nearly minute-long guitar solo at the end.

Because of the long, cold winter Finns celebrate their summer very passionately. Some go to music festivals, offering a choice of jazz, blues, rock, opera and chamber music. Others are sailing among the coastal islands or enjoying slow life at their summer cottages – swimming, fishing and cooking dinner on the grill. For three brief – but oh, so sweet! – months, the temperatures soar high and the sun does not set at all.
summer in figures
Around 100 days
June – August
The sun does not set
In Finnish Lapland a single summer day lasts for over two months. In the southern parts of the country it is never really dark either, just a period of twilight for a few hours. This is why we call Finland the Land of the Midnight Sun.
"Terrace season"
When in the city Finns enjoy their months of sunshine (and a glass of cider) on the sidewalk and park terraces around town. Market places of all sort are another attraction. The signs are small at first – the marketplaces feature strawberries or peas eaten fresh – but by midsummer the Nordic nation has definitely defrosted.
Beginning of summer
Midsummer is often seen as the beginning of warm summer weather and many Finns start their summer holidays on Midsummer Eve. Taking place at the end of June, longest day of the year is a key element in the festivities in the northern parts of Finland.
one way to enjoy the midnight sun: incredible NIghtlife
Getting out of a dark nightclub at 3 a.m. can be a bit confusing, as it feels more like 3 p.m. You wouldn't be the first to swap sleep for an after-party on the beach – in full sunlight, of course.
From large-scale rock festivals to small local happenings, you'll find something going on more or less every day throughout the Finnish summer. The largest festivals have been around for decades and cater for all tastes in the popular music category, gathering tens of thousands of people.
summer cottage
Often situated by water, cabins and cottages are an essential element in Finnish life, providing a physical and mental getaway from the daily grind. Forgetting the everyday worries is inevitable in retreats amid the country's greatest resource: its rugged natural beauty.
