As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The Perils Facing the Evangelical Church
from R.C. Sproul Oct 28, 2013 Category: ArticlesWhen we consider the predicament that the evangelical church of the twenty-first century faces in America, the first thing we need to understand is the very designation "evangelical church" is itself a redundancy.

What Did Jesus Mean When He Said We Would Do Greater Work Than He Did?
from R.C. Sproul Oct 23, 2013 Category: ArticlesThere are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can't think of any more serious delusion than that, that somebody would actually think they have exceeded Jesus in terms of the works he has done. Keep Reading

What type of love was Jesus speaking of here? Not the type of fickle love displayed in the media each day. No, He was speaking of a sacrificial love, the love that He has for us. He loved us so much that He gave up His own life so that we may live eternally. Keep Reading

Working Capital Solutions for Businesses Nationwide
Home > Blog
Small businesses are told to have a social media strategy to stay competitive. For the most part, they know it's necessary; they're just not sure where to go with it. Which social media outlets are most successful? Which platform will get your company the most publicity? How do you manage your time between the endless amounts of new social platforms being released every day? With all the other management and marketing strategies your business has going on, social media may seem like the last thing you want to add to your "to-do" list. However, it doesn't have to be a stressful process.
Develop a Plan: First and foremost, before just jumping into the social media pool, you'll need to have a solid strategy. Don't just start posting and commenting without a plan. Know your target audience; get a feel for who you're trying to reach and what you're trying to get out of using social media to reach customers. This will help you maintain credibility and relevance as a business.
Test the Waters: So this is your first social campaign- maybe ever. Don't panic! Social media is a platform that doesn't thrive on perfection. Use trial and error to determine what engages followers. Ask questions. Don't be afraid to learn from others and even learn from your clients! Being "new" to social media can be a great excuse to learn and gain respect from consumers who don't expect you to know all the ropes just yet.
Start Small: One of the biggest mistakes you can make in your social media endeavors is to take on more than you can handle. If this is your first ever attempt at going social- don't create a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Vine, and Instagram all at once. It is always better to do one thing really well than to try and haphazardly to have your hands in everything at once. For entrepreneurs—and really anyone in a B2B industry—Linkedin is a great place to start to grow your network.
Track, Track, Track: Keep a close eye on your website analytics and definitely take a few minutes to install a social media dashboard. These custom Google dashboards will not only allow you to see how many people are coming to your site from every social network (whether you have a profile on there or not), but what devices those users are coming from and how those users end up converting.
Have you already gotten started with your social media efforts? Connect with Crestmark on Linkedin today!

Family-owned businesses were constantly steam-rolled again and again by the all-powerful corporate conglomerates in the 1980s and 90s. These big-box shops were able to offer a wider variety of goods to their customers at a lower price, and their size enabled them to steamroll the smaller and more specialized businesses. Just think, if you had the choice between Starbucks or a shop called "Jim's Beans," chances are you drove right past the Beans for the Bucks.
In recent years, however, a quiet revolution has begun to occur. Large companies, no longer able to sustain their growth and too bulky to adapt to changes in the economy and consumer needs, have begun to lose their footing. As a result, small mom-and-pop businesses are taking advantage of the opening and have once more started to earn prominence.
This "rebirth" has all become a reality thanks to a little thing we all know and love: the Internet. With the growth of online stores, entrepreneurs are able to virtually market their goods all over the country. This increased visibility has led to some small online start-ups becoming extremely successful.
So how is the Internet acting as an almighty equalizing power?
-- For one, low overhead cost. Having your store online is far less expensive than operating the full-on brick-and-mortar home front. And, if necessary to choose one over the other, it's possible operate the wired store with fewer employees. This enables these business owners to hold tighter profit margins and be more nimble in their pricing strategies.
-- Personal discovery. More often than not, a consumer will search the web for ideas on what to buy before romping around the streets to shop. With an easy-to-navigate site advertising your goods, marketing the products in your store is not only manageable; it's easier. This is especially true of specialized businesses. Specific goods occupying certain niches are easy to search for and thrive on the Internet.
-- Reaching out to buyers. Gone are the days where small businesses can only cater to the locals. Before marketing through the Internet became possible, the power companies that owned distribution channels were conclusively the most successful. This is no more! With online shopping, the web makes it possible to market products to consumers around the world.
-- Marketing personality. While selling to buyers across the country may seem impersonal, the Internet has created an answer for that as well. A cozy, interactive atmosphere is maintained through social media outlets. Business owners can communicate directly with consumers through blogs, Facebook, Twitter, you name it! This encourages interaction, and participation which helps to foster customer loyalty and relationships that big-box companies can't compete with.
While an online strategy is beneficial to pursuing growth, what consumers most want to see is diversity. A street-side store has to focus on making a bigger presence online, while strictly online stores are beginning to develop more physical locations. With diversity comes the ability to reach as many interested customers as possible. Technology is constantly changing and improving, therefore; it's important for small business owners to stay on top of trends and continue growth.

VW debuts first all-electric production car, switches to carbon-dioxide refrigerant
The e-up has a range of close to 100 miles, but won't be available in the US.
Volkswagen introduced its first all-electric production car, the e-up, during a press conference at the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, this week.
The plug-in electric 4-seater e-up has a range of about 93 miles and operates with "nearly zero noise," VW said in a statement.
VW described the e-up as "a car for daily use in the city," but said it's also "ideal for commuters or as an innovative second car." It added that the battery of the e-up can be recharged to as much as 80 percent of its capacity within 30 minutes, which is similar to other fast-charge systems on the market.
The company has no plans to bring the e-up to the U.S. It will be available in Europe later this year, after making its production-ready debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
VW said that the electric motor reaches a peak power of 60 kilowatts, although its continuous power is considerably less at 40 kW. Acceleration from zero to 60 mph takes 14 seconds, and the top speed is around 80 mph.
The lithium-ion battery that powers the e-up is integrated in the floor of the car. The e-up supports both DC and AC charging, and the standardized Combined Charging System -- a standard adopted by Volkswagen and seven other automakers last summer -- is available as an option.
The standard gasoline-powered up is the cheapest car on sale available with auto-braking that can stop the car by itself. Volkswagen didn't announce pricing, but we'd bet it'd be at least $35,000, or more than double that of a base up. At the Geneva Motor Show this month, Volkswagen introduced the XL1 plug-in diesel hybrid with a claimed 261-mpg rating and finally took the wraps off its Jetta Hybrid in Detroit.
In other efforts toward its goal to become "the world's most environmentally sustainable carmaker by 2018," VW announced it will be using carbon dioxide as the refrigerant for its future air-conditioning systems. Refrigerant-grade carbon dioxide is also known as R744, which VW said significantly reduces the greenhouse effect when compared with conventional refrigerants. VW said the use of the new refrigerant will be rolled out progressively over its entire vehicle fleet.
Like fellow German automaker Mercedes-Benz, VW is implementing the use of carbon dioxide as a refrigerant because of safety concerns that another automotive refrigerant, HFO-1234yf, could be flammable. Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler recently announced that it will no longer use HFO-1234yf in new vehicles, and is recalling vehicles that already use the chemical because of concerns of flammability.
But General Motors told Car and Driver that it's currently using HFO-1234yf in the Cadillac XTS in the U.S. market and will roll out the introduction of the new coolant across its global vehicles over the next few years while "continuing to review" Mercedes' findings.

Doug to JessicaYou may have noticed a slight change in my name and appearance.
Here's why:
I am a male to female (m2f) transgender person, that is, I identify more as a woman than as a man. This is a situation which I have been struggling with for most of my life. Over the past several years, this has had more and more of an effect on my life, and this year I decided that I was ready to live full time as a woman. I started transitioning to my friends in Boston's bicycle community in the late spring of 2011. As the summer wore on, I had an accident and was hospitalized briefly, got back on my bike (after a few weeks), and started leading rides as Jessica. I have been blessed with an accepting circle of friends in my neighborhood, the bicycle and open space communities of metropolitan Boston, the astronomical community where I work, the world-wide community of astronomical software developers, and to a great extent, my family.
If you wish to learn more, the best online resource for understanding transgender issues I have found is Understanding Transgender at the web site of the National Center for Transgender Equality.
Here and here are some pretty good answers to questions you might have about transgender people.
Being able to finally be myself in the world is freeing me from constraints which have held me back from committing more of myself to my friends, my work, and my causes. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Now that you know, especially if you first met me as Jessica, please be careful about telling other people. Since I transitioned, I really, really do not like being referred to with male pronouns, especially by people I am just meeting. I'm public to those who know me, but prefer to just be a woman in the world. Here is a good list of reasons to not talk about it from a friend of mine.
As a person who has tended to be more into books than real people, I've read about more than acted upon my transgender feelings over many years. Here are some books in my library which might help others understand my position.

45 U.S. Code § 1103 - Goals and objectives
It is the goal of this subtitle to provide Conrail the opportunity to become profitable through the achievement of the following objectives:
(1) Nonagreement personnel
(A) Employees who are not subject to collective bargaining agreements (hereafter in this section referred to as "nonagreement personnel") should forego wage increases and benefits in an amount proportionately equivalent to the amount foregone by agreement employees pursuant to paragraph (4) of this section, adjusted annually to reflect inflation.
(B) After May 1, 1981, the number of nonagreement personnel should be reduced proportionately to any reduction in agreement employees (excluding reductions pursuant to the termination program under section 797a of this title).
(2) Suppliers
To facilitate the orderly movement of goods in interstate commerce, materials and services should continue to be available to Conrail, under normal business practices, including the provision of credit and normal financing arrangements.
(3) Shippers
(4) Agreement employees
(A) Conrail should enter into collective bargaining agreements with its employees which would reduce Conrail's costs in an amount equal to $200,000,000 a year, beginning April 1, 1981, adjusted annually to reflect inflation.
(B) Agreements under this subparagraph may provide for reductions in wage increases and for changes in fringe benefits common to agreement employees, including vacations and holidays.
(C) The cost reductions required under this subparagraph in the first year of the agreement may be deferred, but the aggregate cost reductions should be no less than an average of $200,000,000 per year for each of the first three one-year periods beginning April 1, 1981.
(D) The amount of cost reductions provided under this paragraph shall be calculated by subtracting the cost of an agreement entered into under this paragraph from
(i) the cost that would otherwise result from the application of the national agreement reached by railroad industry and its employees, or
(ii) until such national agreement is reached, the cost which the United States Railway Association estimates would result from the application of such a national agreement.

Authorities searched a plane after it arrived in Orlando, from Providence, after the crew found a bomb threat onboard.
The JetBlue aircraft landed at Orlando International Airport right before 7:30 Saturday evening, coming from T.F. Green.
Officials say the plane's crew found a threatening note stating there was a bomb on the plane, but nothing suspicious was found after it was inspected.
The passengers on the plane were placed on another flight. The incident caused some minor delays at the plane's gate.
This incident remains under investigation by the FBI.

AUSTIN, TX — The Texas Education Agency's decision to insert a board of managers to replace the El Paso Independent School Districts board of trustees in light of the cheating scandal unsurfaced is now "final", after a hearing designee denied their challenge to the appointment Thursday.
That, according to TEA officials.
That means TEA Commissioner Michael Williams' five appointees to the board of managers will be finalized once the Dept. of Justice pre-clears them for duty, according to a spokesperson for the Texas Education Agency.
"The people of El Paso are ready to begin the work of restoring full trust in their school district," said Williams. "More importantly, those who I have appointed to serve on the board of managers are ready to work in the public interest to again make the El Paso ISD a source of pride for their community and state."
EPISD leaders learned about the decision Thursday.
"I am extremely disappointed with the decision issued by the Designee of the Commissioner of Education, and do not believe that it presents a true picture of the relevant evidence that was introduced at the February 7, 2013 hearing," said EPISD school board president Isela Castañon-Williams in a statement Thursday.
Castañon-Williams does not believe the person TEA designated to review the case was objective.
"Imagine how difficult it must have been for Mr. Timmons, the hearing officer, to consider the evidence impartially, when it was so clear that his boss, Commissioner Williams, wanted the decision to uphold the appointment of the board of managers," she wrote in her statement.
The five people appointed to the board of managers are: former EPWU CEO Ed Archuleta, City of El Paso CFO Carmen Arrieta-Candelaria, former State Rep. Dee Margo, Region 19 Headstart Director Blanca Enriquez, and TEA monitor Judy Castleberry.
Castañon-Williams said they district will continue to fight the appointment.
"We plan to respond to any preclearance submission by TEA to the Department of Justice, in an effort to protect the voting rights of the citizens of the District and the integrity of the upcoming May 11 election," she said.

"Robert Bresson is French cinema as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is German music," wrote Jean-Luc Godard, a statement more than borne out by these two mid-career masterworks.
The more accessible Mouchette sees a feral Nadine Nortier as a schoolgirl mired in tragedy (dying mum, alcoholic dad, brutal teacher).
Somehow even more harrowing is Au Hasard Balthazar, in which a browbeaten mule goes, Christ-like, from suffering to sainthood.
Neither will cheer you up; both will leave you wowed and wanting more.

Recent News
Researchers grow carbon nanofibers using ambient air (March 24, 2014). NC State researchers have demonstrated that vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) can be manufactured using ambient air, making the manufacturing process safer and less expensive. VACNFs hold promise for use in gene-delivery tools, sensors, batteries, and other technologies. Conventional techniques for creating VACNFs rely on the use of ammonia gas, which is toxic. "This discovery makes VACNF manufacture safer and cheaper, because you don't need to account for the risks and costs associated with ammonia gas," says Dr. Anatoli Melechko, an adjunct associate professor of materials science and engineering and senior author of a paper on the work.

Cape Cod Comedy Festival @ Sea Crest Beach Hotel
When: Fri Oct 19th
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Where: Sea Crest Beach Resort, 350 Quaker Road, North Falmouth
A comedy triple threat is heading for the shores of Falmouth this October featuring stand up, musical comedy and a mind blowing psychic comedy show. Comic actor Matty Blake, fresh off his appearances on "NBC's 30 Rock" and HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" will host the comedy festival which begins Friday Night with the "Trials of Love" featuring Boston comedians and headliner Mike Dorval. Saturday Night has a double bill featuring comedy band "World Gone Crazy: The Comedic Rock & Roll Circus" and frequent White House performer and mind reader / comedian Jon Stetson.
The Nauset Conference Center at the newly renovated Sea Crest Beach Hotel will serve as the host location for this unique and diverse comedy line up of theme shows. The official website is www.capecodcomedyfest.com.
"These are all fresh, funny and entertaining comedy acts you won't find at any other comedy festivals or resorts" says Festival Producer Gary Marino. "We are so excited to partner with WMVY and The Sea Crest to bring these acts to the Cape's first comedy festival".
Festival Headliner Jon Stetson is the inspiration for the main character on CBS TV show "The Mentalist". His audience interactive show, known as "The Stetson Experience", is a hysterical combination of unique sleight-of-mind entertainment and mind-to-mind psychic contact. Part magician, part mind reader and always a side splitting comedian, Jon Stetson has performed for Donald Trump, The King Of Sweden and Presidents Bush, Carter and Obama.
World Gone Crazy was launched in early 2011 to rave reviews and includes one of the most inventive live shows seen in recent times featuring rapid fire rock & roll song parodies, spoofs of TV commercials and side splitting impressions all performed by a 4 piece band of comedians. Created by Gary Marino (ABC's "Live With Regis & Kelly" and "Million Calorie March: The Movie") and Boston comedian and radio producer Michael Coleman, World Gone Crazy: The Comedic Rock & Roll Circus will close out the festival with a bang on October 20.
Fresh from its successful run at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, The Trials Of Love is a live comedy court room hosted by Boston Headliner Mike Dorval a.k.a. The Love Judge.
Dorval helps lucky couples settle their domestic differences on stage with the help of friends, relatives, witnesses, and the audience. Come see The Love Judge turn domestic disputes into an explosion of candy and kisses!
Special guests are still being added to the line up and the festival will be hosted by comic actor Matty Blake, host of the NBC Sports Matty Blake Show and his former radio show "Rocko & Matty" on WAAF. Matty has been seen on NBC's 30 Rock, VH1 and MTV.
The Cape Cod Comedy Festival is a partnership between WMVY Radio, Harmon-Marino Entertainment and The Sea Crest Beach Hotel. A handful of Cape Cod and Boston charities will benefit from the event including the Buzzards Bay Coalition, New England Chapter of MS, Falmouth Dog Park, Mashpee Children's Museum, Tea Ticket PTA, Generation Excel and others.
One ticket price of $35.00 will gain audience members access to all shows for the festival weekend (3 shows) and can be purchased at www.capecodcomedyfest.com. Room packages are available from the Sea Crest Beach Hotel by calling 508-540-9400 or Toll Free: 800-225-3110.

Depending on the state, the types of public divorce records that may be available for viewing and/or copying are decrees, certificates and coupons. Within those categories are certified and informational divorce record copies. Some states only offer certified copies of divorce records, while others also have informational copy options.
Informational divorce record versions are not legally admissible for identification or other lawful purposes. Informational public divorce records are designed to provide basic information such as the divorced couple's names and the date and place the dissolution of marriage took place. Informational divorce record copies are issued to to persons not eligible to request certified copies. Certified copies of divorce records are usually admissible as legal proof of the dissolution of marriage.
Divorce coupons are located on the bottom part of the certificate and are removable — hence the name "coupon." The certificate and coupon form one page of limited information about where and when the divorce occurred. A divorce decree includes several pages outlining a court's ruling about the rights and responsibilities of each party. It will include the case number and the terms of the dissolution of marriage agreement.
Public divorce records are requested for many reasons. In "Open Records" states, the public may want to access divorce records out of curiosity such as or for a project they are compiling. Mainly though, genealogical research, dating background checks and legal or family confirmation of divorce form the majority of reasons for a public divorce record search.
An adult child living in a state where immediate family members may request copies of divorce records, may want to confirm or know about the details of his or her parents' dissolution of marriage. A person preparing to remarry may be required by state law to have a certified copy of his or her divorce record. In some cases, legal proof of divorce is needed in order to receive benefits or to proceed in a settlement case in court.
The best way to access public divorce records is typically through a professional record provider service online such as this one. We obtain official divorce records for every state much quicker than you would have to wait by ordering the same record from the state office or court clerk. Due to our industry status, we are often even able to provide instant access to public divorce records for all states.
Simply fill in the search box you see on this page to get started. We can help you find the public divorce record you are looking for no matter what state. We have information infor on state in which the divorce you're seeking the record of occured. In some cases, instant access due to our up to date, constantly updated data bases. laws procedures. resource all states easy online. use our safe, convenient search boxes to get started.

Thanks to its stellar performance and affordable price, the Nexus 7 is the Android tablet to get.
The slimmer body and higher-res screen of the original Retina MacBook Pro were a revolutionary leap. This revamp adds modest internal upgrades for modest improvements, but price cuts to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sweeten the deal.
Functionally, the iPad Air is nearly identical to last year's model, offering only faster performance and better video chatting. But factor in design and aesthetics, and the iPad Air is on another planet. It's the best full-size consumer tablet on the market.
With an all-wheel-drive system, more than two seats, and cargo space, the FF holds a few SUV characteristics, but its handling and engine note are pure Ferrari.
The Honda Fit EV shows range similar to that of other compact electric cars on the market and drives well enough, but ultimately feels like a retrofit project car rather than a fully realized futuristic production vehicle.
Pricing not available
While the "all-new" Paperwhite may seem like an unspectacular upgrade on the surface, it's a clear improvement over the original Paperwhite and arguably the best e-reader currently available.
The company reported a drop of 4.6 percent month over month and a massive 27 percent decline in revenue year-over-year in May.
With the New York auto show in our wake, we take a look back at production cars from the 2013-2014 auto show season that we're most excited about driving.
The new entry point for the MacBook Air is $899 -- from Apple at least. Retailers like Best Buy are selling the prior model for $799.
During this past season of international auto shows, automakers showed off their newest cars in cities from Detroit to Geneva. But we love the concept cars best, as they show what car designers could do with the regulatory and marketing gloves removed.

"To understand a culture, you must accept their food"
- ipsedixit Jul 14, 2009 09:05 PM
Andrew Zimmern said that on one of his shows the other day (there's a chance I misremembered and the quote is actually a loose paraphrase, but I digress ...).
Do you agree with that notion?
Can a person understand a particular culture without coming to grips with that culture's food?
For example, could a person truly grasp what "Americana" is all about without accepting the burger, hot dog, the backyard bbq, oversized portions, Coca-Cola, french fries, etc.?
It would be difficult, if not impossible, in my opinion.
Maybe there are certain cultures that are easier to understand without first accepting their cuisine, but to totally disregard the food makes it impossible to fully understand a particular culture.
I don't think we have to "accept" to "understand" , but I agree that cuisine is the best and quickest metric of a culture.
I can see where it helps to reveal cultural identity but I don't think it's mandatory. Was he saying you have to ACCEPT their food? What's that even mean? That I can't fully appreciate nor understand "Americana" if I don't eat meat? Zimmerman also makes his living by having you believe that food reveals more about a culture than anything else. Well, who decides what to reveal and who is slapping on the labels? If I lived in Kansas I might say Americana is revealed in your bbq example. If I live in CA I could say fast food because it speaks to our highways and how we love to drive. If I lived in New York though I might say it's all about pizza and bagels and the global bounty of food on offer.
What if your palate doesn't prefer certain foods and textures but you're boned up on other aspects of a particular culture. Couldn't you detest Indian food but still pick up the culture through study of history, travel, art appreciation, yoga practice and secret fetish for Bollywood films?
sorry to hit it again...for me it really makes a difference who the people are, how important food is to that culture (beyond the whole "everyone eats" thing), and how and whom is defining said culture. You can't say Americana and have that mean burgers and fries. Americana could mean something totally different to someone from Maine and someone from Oklahoma. You could use food though to reveal the Low Country or the Texas/ Mexico border.
I think you would be doing a disservice to the culture if you did not try to embrace, if not sample their food. To go to an area and not eat their local food might mean you stay at tourist spots, eat at McDonald's or the like. How could you join in a party, dinner in someone's home or get off the trodden path if you didn't at least sample and find in their food something to like? So often people's lifestyles and how they interact and communicate is intertwined with food and the dining experience. This post has reminded me of some fantastic interactions I've had with Spanish, Italian and Greek people, like when we went to a small tavern in central Spain. It was so festive, with everyone in the place interacting and they would not leave us out of it! Then there were the Chinese-Americans in Seattle, who insisted that we all sit together and they wanted to share their food. We all shared everything we had as we spinned it around the table. It was an instant Chowhound experience with strangers!
The road trip Passadumkeg and I did encompassed 17 US states and numerous distinct food styles. There were various styles of Mexican food, BBQ, raw and cooked seafood, vegetables and widely ranging breakfasts. We didn't "supersize" anything. I think you might want to try a hot dog or burger, but it doesn't mean, for me, that I have to accept it or learn to like it.
In S. Korea, unlike Mark (aka Passadumkeg), I might not eat too much raw octopus, for example. I know I like other Korean food I've had in the US so I'd be willing to try anything.
It is a bit of an odd statement. What he means buy "Accept" seems somewhat vague. Does accept mean love/enjoy/embrace or does it simply mean understand what it is and how it got there.
It's certainly a very self serving statement. After all, he is a food celebrity.
My personal feeling is to understand a culture you have to understand it. Food is a big part of culture but so is art, literature, history, et al. To simply say you can understand a culture buy understanding one aspect of it is fool hearty. And to get to understand it, you have to embrace it. Go there. Eat where they eat. Go where they go. Watch what they watch. Well, you get the idea.
How can anyone really disagree with the statement (although I won't be using Zimmern as a guru anytime soon)?
I think I've learned a lot about a lot of different peoples around the planet sitting and eating together, learning how to cook their foods in their kitchens, and shopping togehter in local markets. That doesn't mean that all cuisines are equal: there are cultures where cooking and eating reigns supreme and there are cultures for which cooking and eating are almost boring.
re: Sam Fujisaka
You are so right (reigning supreme vs boring/tasteless); I forgot that aspect of it!
mmmmmmmmmm…. I think the premise is a bit (a lot?) overstated. I'd be more comfortable with "understand" their food as opposed to "accept" their food. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but to me "accept" means you have to eat it and like it. "Understand" means you can put someone's or an entire culture's diet into a frame work that helps with understanding the overall person or culture.
For example, the Inuit, and other "Far Northern" cultures of North America once (and may still) considered whale blubber with maggots growing in it a great delicacy, and their sole eating utensil was a very sharp knife shaped similar to what we would call a "mezzaluna". Even small children used the knife to cut away the part of their food they couldn't get into their mouths in a single bite. Now, I can understand how, in a hostile climate such as the far northern climes of North America, the nutritional value of both the whale blubber (the fat content works for people similar to the way antifreeze works for your car; it helps you keep from freezing) and the increased protein value of the maggots would be a valuable dietary scheme. And I can understand how, with the passage of time and cultural isolation, such a people might convince themselves that this is a great delicacy. Do I have to accept it (eat) to understand it? Not on your life, Bubby! '-)
But for a more contemporary take on the question, and a real life personal example, about a week or so ago, I fixed hot dogs for lunch. My housekeeper is from Chile, and she was delighted! Once the dogs were boiled (her preference), we both "dressed" our own hot dogs. I put a little sauerkraut on mine, she put some on hers. I put a little mustard on mine and headed for the patio table. She was still dressing hers… When she finally came out, her "dog" and bit of kraut were buried under chopped tomatoes, a whole mashed avocado, and (I kid you not!) about a half cup of mayonnaise on top of the avocado! I thought she was nuts! Then I watched Anthony Bourdain's program on Chile the other night, and found out the whole nation is nuts! It's the ONLY time I've seen Bourdain not finish something. Which is not to say he finishes everything on camera, but he made a point to show he wasn't having a full go at that dog! So how does this fit in with the culture of Chile? Well, my take on it is that Chile has recently come out of a really dire political situation, not entirely dissimilar to what Germany went through under the Third Reich, and has finally emerged into political and cultural sunlight. To say the Chilean hot do is a bit over-the-top in the live-for-today-and-the-hell-with-tomorrow side of life is probably worthy of consideration.
In anthropology, studying kitchen middens to help understand the diet of a culture is an SOP. We know, for example that the ancient Egyptians had a brewing and distribution system for beer that rivals what we have today when it comes to making that beverage widely available to all. It also helps us understand that safe drinking water was probably not all that available, with only one river as the sole source of water and zilch for annual rainfall.
How much can we tell about one person, or indeed one family, in today's world? Depends entirely on where they are from, whether they still live there, and what their discretionary income is. I have a friend from Nigeria, who is hooked on pho. Does that make her Asian? Not a chance! I have another friend who doesn't like dessert. Does that indicate a culture where sweets are uncommon? Nope, She is diabetic. On the other hand, I have a friend who is openly diabetic with whom I now refuse to eat out with. We used to enjoy dining out together, when he would religiously and with great polished halo order a vegetarian burger with a side salad he dressed with lemon. Then, when the server asked if we'd care for dessert, he would order a triple brownie on ice cream with hot fudge and caramel sauce on the side. I refuse to aid and abet such behavior! But his diet, as well as my Nigerian friend's proclivity to pho, DOES help me understand them. And, depending on the individual, also to accept or reject them.
Once again, Ipsedixit, for me it all boils down to, "It depends…." '-)
re: Caroline1
Dogs and burgers are hugely glop laden throughout mosty of Latin America.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Interesting. Which poses the question: How much glop can you put on a dog or a burger and still taste the meat? Or is hiding it the objective? But we do it here too! And then there is Japanese pizza, with squid ink, Tater Tots, and mayonnaise...! '-)
re: Caroline1
When I am eating a hot dog, I admit that I do not so much want to taste the meat.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Yes. Somewhere I have a picture of me biting into a "completo" (the Chilean hot dog meal described above) when we were in Santiago, Chile, about a dozen years ago. It was breakfast, I didn't have as much on it as Tony and it was damn fine. Along with a cup of INSTANT coffee. Not so fine.
Understanding the cuisine can provide insights into agriculture (the types of ingredients that go into their foods) and trade (the origins of the ingredients if they were not originally grown there).
In this case, I think the word "accept" means that you simply have to think outside your culinary parameters; if your initial reaction to a food is "HOW can they EAT that??" there is obviously something about their lifestyle/culture/environment that you are not understanding. I don't think Zimmerman would say you have to LIKE everything (after all, he's certainly spit out a food or two on-air) but that you have to understand how someone else might.
Giving Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt, I think he is referring to passing value judgement on other people's foods. In anthropology, the term is called ethnocentrism. It means making value judgements of other cultures based upon your own value system. It was a common flaw of early reports of contact with native people by Europeans e.g. "godless savages" "barbaric practices" etc. Soooo, instead of outright rejecting food, Americans would consider unfit for human consumption, Zimmerman samples it and tries to understand the cultural context in which a particular dish or food was developed. For example, in cultures where protein is scare, people have had to turn to bugs, insects and larve for nutrition. Not because they want to but in the past, it was a matter of life or death. Within that context, Zimmerman "accepts" the fact that people eat bugs, etc and does not past value judgement about it other than it may taste like rotten meat.
re: bgazindad
Thats how I read it, too. After all, even in America there is a wide variety of regional/cultural foodstuffs that might seem strange to us if we are not from that area/background. My best friend loves gefilte fish. I don't like the taste. I can, however, understand that she grew up with it and that it is a part of her palate. I think that kind of acceptance is what Zimmerman is getting at.
A long winded way of saying that I agree with you!
"America" is not a culture - it's much too big and diverse. America a conglomerate, a mishmash, a stewpot, a lump of 'huddled masses yearning to be free'; but it's not a single culture. Neither is France, or Germany, or Switzerland, or Great Britian, although they come closer.
The Marshallese; now there's a culture. Tuareg. Basque. Chamorrow. Jamaican. Mayam. Those are cultures. And you, IMHO to understand those and other cultures, you need to "accept" or "appreciate" or "come to terms with" the things they eat and the way they eat them.
FYI, on the Taiwan episode, I am pretty sure he said "to experience a culture, you must try the food." This was right before he tried 2 week old fermented raw pork which he said scared him.
Don't you think a Chowhound (AND Zimmern) has a hugely different take on a "culture" than a non-CH? I have friends and neighbors who travel and never mention the food when I ask them about their trip. They've gone to museums, churches, cultural and sporting events, etc. And I think they really do understand the culture. Then I know other people who go on cruises. They get to a port, shop for trinkets, maybe take a bus tour, never talk to any locals AND go back to the ship EVERY DAY for lunch. They could never understand the "culture." So I don't think there's one answer for everyone. But I do believe that there's only one answer for someone who loves food like we do :)
I think it's important to experience and be aware of food of a culture but as a long-time (though not life-long) vegan I don't think it's necessary to taste any animal products to understand a culture. I'm also gluten-free. I lived in Paraguay for a year and traveled to Brazil before going vegan and gluten-free. I travelled to Mexico after becoming a vegan and GF and my husband and I have spent time in Vancouver, Toronto, Budapest, Vienna, and London as vegans.
My husband translated a polenta pizza recipe from a Hungarian veg cookbook today before heading to the store. My husband lived in the Bahamas (not in the tourist areas), has been to Israel, Germany, Netherlands, England, Scotland, and Australia as a vegan. We always try to learn at least a few phrases in the local language.
We can't discuss culture via food on this not about food board. It's "tangential"! Everyone knows that a person's culture or the understanding of it have nothing to do with the food they eat. I'm being totally sarcastic, of course. I just put up a post asking for insight into the food culture here in my working class Southern town (USA) and my post was quickly deleted. Yay for censorship... especially for me, a younger person who is desperately searching for some answers or explanation of why things are the way they are - why the culture here supports what it does. The food culture says a lot. I think the statement would be better said, "To know a culture, you must know their food." I can't see accepting the food here in my town, but I do want to understand it and the underlying culture - hard to do around these discussion boards though. :(.
The food culture of this town is fast food, chain family style restaurants, homecooking from convenience and homecooking from scratch (very very rare).
The prevalence of the first three comment for me the acceptance of convenience and size over quality, the lack of interpersonal interaction (drive through windows), the marketability of ANYTHING (poor quality) (you could sell dehydrated water here, LOL), cultural isolation (dumbing down of ethnic dishes even though the economic resources exist here to do an amazing job with them), a love for salty, sweet and sour (which culturally comments a less cultivated interest for food, since many people believe that the taste for bitter foods is learned culturally and not innate)...
I would be wary of people who naively thought that they actually DID understand an entire foreign culture based on understanding its respective cuisine. A culture's cuisine is accessible to foreigners in a much simpler way than a cultural world view, for example. By the way:
"Americana" is all about without accepting the burger, hot dog, the backyard bbq, oversized portions, Coca-Cola, french fries, etc.?
At least burgers, hot dogs, Coke, Pepsi, fries, Basikin Robbins, and a lot of other American foods are highly available and well liked across the world. You can get all of these items in Saudia Arabia and Pakistan, for example. Does that mean that the Saudis "understand" the Americans? Or is it just that Chili's and KFC are popular food chains there because of the global dominance of American pop culture and commercial culture including fast food and franchise chains has made these foods available and the cultural onus of trend setting and is Western so people around the world are open to these foods?
As much as I'd like to think that's true, and have said it myself, in truth I'm not too sure you'll really know a culture very well simply from its cuisine. Now how they go about producing/acquiring their basic raw foods, that might actually get you closer. How do they treat their animals? How do organize themselves to gather and grow things? How do foods get from farm to table--what kind of market system do they use? I suspect answers to those sorts of questions will get you closer to a cultural understanding.
Having lived abroad long enough to (I think) at least begin to understand another culture, I'd have to say this is pretty much bullshit. You can learn about (and accept) the food of a country without ever setting foot in the place. But to truly understand a culture you must live there, and for long enough to get a feel for the daily rhythms of the place and the ways of thinking that underlie their worldview. Food is a part of that, certainly, but no more important or central than dress, shopping habits, modes of transport, standards of hospitality, and a thousand other quotidian aspects of life.
re: BobB
I totally agree with you BobB: to truly understand you do have to live there and not for 2 weeks on a vacation.
We had family in Italy and visited frequently, We stayed for 2-3 weeks at a time. Of course, we cooked and ate the food of the family members we were visiting while there.
But I really did not understand Italy or Italians until we went to live there and even then it took a year to really get it...and even then I understood the food and people of the Abruzzo and Apullia and maybe a little Sicily, only...certainly NOT Tuscany or Emilia Romagna etc.
Food is just one path to understanding but it is VITAL to getting the whole picture of Italians. And you have to immerse yourself in it...(the culture, that is, not the food LOL)
As a Canadian, I am not nearly as sure that we are well explained by our cuisine (such as it is...)

On personal style and individuality
It's one thing to draw inspiration; it's quite another to blindly follow or praise everything portrayed there, or anywhere else for that matter.
Redundant is the last thing you want to be… Draw inspiration, keep up with the latest trends, but do so while staying true to yourself.

"Give a Little Love" campaign
The "Give a Little Love" campaign is taking place at area McDonald's restaurants from Tuesday, January 22 through Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 14. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois (RMHCCI) invites local residents to participate and "Give a Little Love" by donating $1 or more and your name will be written on a heart to be displayed at McDonald's. 100% of the proceeds will stay in central Illinois and directly benefit the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield, IL. RMHCCI exists to provide a supportive home away from home for families with children receiving medical care in Springfield, Illinois. Ronald McDonald House offers a good night's sleep, hot meals, and everything needed to keep parents' lives as simple as possible while they tend to the important task at hand: devoting all of their love and support to helping their child get well. RMHCCI is a 501(c)3 charity and could not provide a home away from home to over 300 families each year without the wonderful support of the central Illinois community. Please join us at area McDonald's restaurants January 22—February 14 to give a lot of love for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois! For more information, please visit www. rmhc-centralillinois.org.

With pristine harmonies and searing instrumentation, they are truly a 'not to be missed' act!! Whether performing in large venues or intimate club settings, ROGERS & NIENHAUS deliver a powerful show, that leaves their audiences wondering how 2 performers can deliver such a full, high quality sound. Without the aid of popular technical gear, such as loopers, prerecorded tracks or harmonizers, ROGERS & NIENHAUS put on a concert with 2 voices and 2 instruments, including guitars, bass guitar, piano, mandolin and harmonica. ROGERS & NIENHAUS have long and varied careers each in their own right, including stints with The Byrds featuring Michael Clarke, The Byrds Celebration, Firefall & Nicolette Larson. You will enjoy classic covers of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, America, The Byrds, Firefall, Simon & Garfunkel, Doobie Bros, as well as exceptional original compositions.

Like the book, this funny and poignant theatrical event uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell stories that all women can relate to. Syndicated columnist Liz Smith simply raves, "This is an evening that goes directly to the heart, soul and vanity of every woman, young or old." The production will be directed by Aasne Vigesaa and will feature Nancy Cole, Claire Gordon, Susan Jeffers, Julie Staley and Missy Thibodeaux-Thompson. The show will be a dinner theatre production with the meal provided by Arena Food Service, Inc. Friday, February 1 (doors open at 6:30pm for dinner.

When a person with celiac disease eats foods containing gluten, an immune reaction occurs in the small intestine, resulting in damage to the intestinal surface and an inability to absorb certain nutrients from food1 that can lead to a host of other symptoms and illnesses. Estimates show that as many as 1 in 133 Americans could be living with Celiac disease.2
No treatment can cure celiac disease; so it is managed through diet with zero tolerance for any foods containing gluten. The challenge historically, for those living with the disease, has been to find foods that don't contain gluten but still retain the flavor and characteristics of its traditional gluten-containing counterpart. Even five years ago, finding such foods could be a huge challenge, and finding flavorful foods even more so.
"At Dierbergs, we are building the gluten-free category at a very rapid rate. I see and hear firsthand how much customers appreciate having more choices that meet their very strict dietary guidelines. We're committed; Dierbergs is in this for the long haul," Wayne Faron, Category Manager says.
Every one of Dierbergs' 24 metropolitan locations has a large category-specific section of gluten-free products and a mix of items integrated throughout the store. Products can be easily identified by gluten-free shelf tags.
