Rated 5 out of 5�by JonB Awesome socks I bought my son who is 10 the Oregon and FSU ones and he loves them as he gets tons of compliments on the socks. They are hard for him to get on but he says that doesn't outweigh the cool factor of them. I'm ordering the USC & UW ones now. November 22, 2013

UPDATE 4/14/2003: Thanks for all the great reviews and ratings. Since about 100 of you mentioned a similarity to HAPPY TREE FRIENDS on mondomedia.com, and it had been four years since I saw it myself, I decided to go watch it again. AND DAMN IT IS SIMILAR, ISN'T IT. Oh, well. Unintentional. Unintentional, not unlike a drunken pregnancy. In Arkansas. The best ideas are already done! And apparently, the worst ones are, too...
UPDATE 4/25/03: Interested in some great Retarded products? Just set up shop at cafepress...shirts, a lunchbox, a mousepad, a mug...even a thong! Support me and my stupid art!

As a mom myself, I know how hard it is for us parents to celebrate ourselves (there are dishes to be done, lunches to be packed...). But as we all head toward 40, I thought it would be fun to show off ideas on how to make those celebrations extra special and grab a little of the spotlight for ourselves (crazy, right?)!

I'm from Portland, OR, and if you know much about the city, you'll know my sullen brooding and sarcastic flippancy come with the territory.
My poetry is more of an outlet then an art at the moment. I like to play with meter, rhyme, and different structures.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Blood and iron sang their song
Against the beat of drums;
The horns beguiled the warriors, strong,
To bear the fight along
Pray out vengeance in my lust
Against the beat of drums;
My sword will vanquish all unjust,
And silence will adjust
Crimson sweat will drench the earth
Against the beat of drums;
The shield will hold against their worth;
This war will be rebirth
Drum and horn and sword and shield
Against the battle field
Bloody vengeance they will yield
As nothing is revealed.
I just want the world to stop turning so damn fast; hard. So fucking hard…
I just want to sleep until I'm caught up but-
But no, it's not allowed.
I just want things to make sense that should,
Like government, and hope, and faith…
I just want the simple things to work out
So I could maybe, just maybe,
Just sleep.
Ache, Unyeilding
Trying, Failing, Feeling
Tomorrow is another day
Well, she's not unattractive
With her curls and her gait.
I am not unaware
Of that hem so ornate.
No, miss that I couldn't
As she hummed into light
And- miss that, I wouldn't-
Later sighs of goodnight.
Yes, I wouldn't know nothing
Of love's teases of luck,
And I will not miss out
As we bang and we fuck.
It's never crossed my mind
That I would meet you,
And you wouldn't care.
It means nothing
When you tell me you laugh,
You smile,
You are so aroused by me
It means nothing that,
Despite the churning evidence,
You ever thought of me at all
The Beginning
Everything was Dust.
Dust grew to blood;
Blood grew only to death.
My husband was working with strife
To make lots of cash for his wife.
I told him, "My dear,
The floor needs veneer!"
Because that damn dog still has life.
When your genitals
Against mine,
All I want is more.
When your parts
My sex parts,
I just want to go.
When your penis slides,
Into my soft core,
Please just take me more
Confiscate my emotions in the jar,
Fuse my inabilities and deciets to one,
Dare my morality to life
My jaded heart flows
As an emerald river
Through my longing soul
I will not succumb to it;
My wounds bleed their green.
I'm not dying anymore,
I'm not wasting away
Or falling into dank despair
You left me numb and jaded,
A fair rebuke
To my naivette
I should have
Known better
Than to be myself
The playful banter
Had no rhythm
I should have never
Been myself
The way I was
With you.
The times were fun
When we started out
But sexy times were
Never ending
I should have never
Played the field
The way I played
With you…
I wish I didn't drink
The way I do
So that it didn't burn me after
When you left laughing.
Instead, I sit here intoxicated,
So infatuated…
Nothing is left..
The shell is empty
My soul is what it is…
Your hair, your smile
Were worth the while
Your arms, your wrist
Became my tryst
Your waist, your thighs-
My soft demise
Your calves, your toes
Began the throes
Your palms, your feet
They were the beat
Your song, your dance
They charmed my glance
You swayed, sashayed…
I am dismayed

A good Knowledge Management strategy is vital to the success of any knowledge management initiative, and should be one of the early steps in your KM program. We can help you build a Knowledge Management strategy, crafted to your context, which really works.
Knowledge Management Strategy Purpose
Implementing Knowledge Management should be done in the context of an agreed strategy. The strategy ensures that the Knowledge Management implementation proceeds in a way that is aligned with the current business approaches, is targeted on the right problems, and is coordinated with other existing change initiatives.
Knowledge Management Strategy Method
The Knowledge Management strategy is developed in either
The workshop will ideally be informed by the results of a Knowledge Management Assessment and Benchmarking exercise, and by input from management on current business strategies and other parallel initiatives. The strategy document is presented to, and discussed with, senior management, before sign-off.
The document will cover elements such as
Knowledge Management Strategy Benefits
The benefits of a good KM Strategy come in a more effective, and lower risk, implementation program. The strategy we create with you will incorporate the lessons from very many successful Knowledge Management programs, and some less successful, thereby increasing your own chance of success.

I don't get it ... so it takes you now 2 button presses to do what 1 did before?
I guess it's main attraction is as a space-saver for non-combat use (e.g. mage portals, boss tactic macros, mounts etc). That's what I'd do anyway, it'd have too much potential to mess up in combat methinks, especially as it pops up under your mouse. :/
To anyone else, do the actionbars 'collide' with each other to prevent overlapping? Because that could be stressful if you accidentally pop up the hidden bar whilst tanking and can't hit a cooldown until you realise what's just happened.
epsilon343 said...
Not necessarily. Sometimes there are spells that are useful in certain circumstances but don't need to be on the action bar the whole time. So instead of cluttering up your screen with all these buttons you can keep it just a second away from what you want to do. And since it lets you bring up the buttons at your exact mouse position it can let you focus on what you need to see instead of hunting around for a button on your screen.
Situationally useful spells and abilities that don't need to be key-bound or shown on the action bars is most likely the use for it. For my own purposes, oPie does a wonderful job as well. Anything regarding defensive cooldowns should definitely be keybound and accessed at a moments notice unless you like planning your CDs in advance and know exactly when you will use them.
One use I can find with this is actually keybinding a lot of regularly used abilities to the hidden Geist bars and only actually looking at the bar when you need to, although I'm not sure if that is possible. Even though my most crucial abilities are all on my main action bar, I hardly every look at them since they are all keybound and memorized. It might actually save space to hide the bars completely and only bring them up when you have some need for it. I'll try it out tonight and see how it works.

San Antonio is turning into a big city and all the greatness that goes along with it."
"I know we do take this very seriously. But as far as thresholds involving what amounts we actively investigate or not, I just don't know."
"The approximate $2 million European average for chief-executive pay can be taken as a rough guide to that threshold, with the varying strengths of public feeling on the issue indicated by the different national averages."
"We are still going to be collecting to make sure we are well over the threshold, but we have the 500."

Abstract. Forest fires are an important source to carbonaceous aerosols in the western United States (WUS). We quantify the relative contribution of biomass burning to black carbon (BC) in the WUS mountain ranges by analyzing surface BC observations for 2006 from the Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environment (IMPROVE) network using the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model. Observed surface BC concentrations show broad maxima during late June to early November. Enhanced potassium concentrations and potassium/sulfur ratios observed during the high-BC events indicate a dominant biomass burning influence during the peak fire season. Model surface BC reproduces the observed day-to-day and synoptic variabilities in regions downwind of and near urban centers. Major discrepancies are found at elevated mountainous sites during the July–October when simulated BC concentrations are biased low by a factor of two. We attribute these biases largely to the underestimated and temporally misplaced biomass burning emissions of BC in the model. Additionally, we find that the biomass burning contribution to surface BC concentrations in the US likely was underestimated in a previous study using GEOS-Chem (Park et al., 2003), because of the unusually low planetary boundary layer (PBL) heights and weak precipitation in the GEOS-3 meteorological reanalysis data used to drive the model. PBL heights from GEOS-4 and GEOS-5 reanalysis data are comparable to those from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR). Model simulations show improved agreements with the observations when driven by GEOS-5 reanalysis data, but model results are still biased low. The use of biomass burning emissions with diurnal cycle, synoptic variability, and plume injection has relatively small impact on the simulated surface BC concentrations in the WUS.

Quote: There is already a Members on Line page that gives you that information.
Not what I asked for - but I guess I'll make it the Home Page then
It's very weird now as we appear only to have a few occasions where members systems cannot cope with the new features. We are still trying to reduce the speed problems on a one by one basis and have done so for several users stuck with speed problems.
But, unless I'm mistaken, most are happy now?
That doesn't mean we are satisfied and won't help those who are not. Just let us know as much as possible about the times/pages you're accessing that cause the problems and the system you're using and we'll do what we can.
You also have to remember that "Your" the users ISP will have more of a work load---you can only get so much info down a pipe,if everyone is on line in the evening things will be slower on a home user basis.(Goes for lunch time as well)
I don't think people are unhappy with ePz as such. I get the impression that the v4 upgrade perhaps accentuated some niggles and made us more conscious of reporting them.Last Modified By MeanGreeny at 7 Jun 2007 - 3:36 PM
I second what Pete says. ePHOTOzine is a huge resource with loads of information on it. There are alot of different sections on the site and it takes time for us to go through each of them to find where the problem might be. Its very much like trying to find a needle in a haystack. BUT if we don't know there is a problem, it makes it even harder to find it. We do get some reports and emails about speed issues, but just skimming the forums you can see that there are people in here that don't bother reporting it to us.
Basicly, if you have performance problems with the site let us know immediatly so we can sort it out quicker and get back to all the new stuff we have lined up.
Quote: A lot of 'stand alone' i.e non networked home computers often have a lot of unwanted services running in the background. Turning these off may help with speed issues. Have a look Here
In that case I would have speed and download issues all the time. I don't. Read what I said.
Quote: In that case I would have speed and download issues all the time. I don't. Read what I said
Good point - and I assume you don't have speed problems with other sites, which would again point to Epz having some problems. I often see that Epz is slower to load than other sites, eg the BBC news website and that is also "a huge resource with loads of information on it", and I've been asked to clean up my PC to view that!
Quote: "a huge resource with loads of information on it", and I've NOT been asked to clean up my PC to view that!
We have only suggested this because for several people who have had big problems with speed we found once we'd had several emails of communication with them that it did happen to be a major issue with spyware etc that they had loaded. Once we'd suggested how to remove these problems at a personal level the site was fast. The BBC does not have such complex systems. If you want to compare look at our news section/forums/articles sections. The all work as fast as the BBC, as fast as any site out there. Our site would work super fast if we didn't have a gallery with several layers of complexity.
Since V3 we have not just replaced the gallery table with the cleaner layout. We now have pagination which is an extra strain on the database, we have large images in size and weight which is a strain on your bandwidth, we have a much more complex search feature, and a far advanced filter system for categories. All these features were tested at beta level and worked fine, but that was with small numbers accessing. We've done further optimisation over the last two months that has improved the speed for most, but we still have problems when lots of people are on at once searching in different ways using the new functionality. We could cut these new features out and go back to the old way but that, in our view is a step back. So now we are trying to make those features work so we advance.
The team are today looking deeper into the database looking to optimise the queries that cause problems at peak/heavy usage times.
I sometimes notice on my PC that some sites crawl occasionally (even stop working) and others still fly along (the BBC is one that always seems ok). I'm not techie, but have always assumed that this was due to the servers for some sites being in the USA (like epz?) and others being in Europe and that the transatlantic connections sometimes get a very heavy load. Maybe I'm being too simplistic but in essence I've presumed that slow site speeds aren't necessarily always the sites problem but down to the amount of bandwidth particular users ISP's have to the states. Is this a possibility?Last Modified By Henchard at 8 Jun 2007 - 9:43 AM
That's true and it isn't just down to where the servers are located. It is also effected by what bandwidth connection is being used for the servers.
This could be possible. We have considered transfering the site over the UK servers but don't see this as the root of the problem. V3, worked fine, so why shouldn't V4. Its like Pete has said, we have put inplace some features that werent in V3 that allow more complicated filtering of the gallery and a few features are fixed in V4 that didn't work properly in V3.
The root of the slow downs seems to be the gallery filtering, so this is our optimisation priority.
The BBC website is a very small at front end.
Its got several pages ie News,England/Wales some latest issues but thats about it.Its images are compact
It doesn`t have to cope with x amount of people uploading at the same time---usually in the evening or lunch time --x amount of people sending PM or opening large images .
All in all the "team " are doing a grand job.
Again not being techie would it not be worth people who are having very slow times 'pinging' epz to measure the time it takes to establish if it is their ISP or the site. For instance I just pinged epz which is taking 125ms as opposed to my own site 37ms and 23ms for the BBC site. Again not sure if this is relevant because I don't know enough (I just looked up how to 'ping'!).

Agreed! I don't mind if someone's asking for help if they are a) polite, and b) at least make the effort to communicate clearly. Most times I can tell the difference between someone who's just too damn lazy to type (which I can't stand-sorry, l337speak is NOT a language, it's a joke to be laughed at) and someone who just honestly misspelled a word.
That being said, what really grinds my gears is when I decline to help someone (reason is irrelevant as long as I do it politely, since it is my time they're asking for and my choice to help or not)-or, God forbid, I don't know the answer to their question-and they get upset.
That, and random strangers who beg for gold. O(>

I started school again and this semester I am taking early childhood education and infant and toddler development. There are several blogs that I frequent that have such cute ideas for activities to do for your baby, toddler, preschooler and beyond. I have done a few of them with Isabella here and there and now as I get farther into my semester I am learning why these sorts of activities are not only fun for them but are learning experience. The first two years of life the brain grows faster than at any other time in life. Young infants and children learn through experiences and through play. One child development theorist thinks of children as little scientists. They innately have a desire to learn and any parent of a child knows that they are constantly experimenting with their environment to learn. What happens if I throw my food over my highchair? What happens when I bang these blocks together? Through play they learn so much.
With this being said I think it is so important to provide children with many opportunities to use their senses and play to learn. I am going to use what I learn in my class and the blogs I frequent to do some of these activities with Isabella and post them here in case anyone is interested. Some are kind of messy and it makes me wish I had a back yard. If you are not too scared of the mess, you could give your child a fun experience that they will also be learning from.
Here is a simple one that kept Isabella's attention for quite awhile, which is quite the feat!
You simply take an empty spice container and cut some colored pipe cleaner into small strips and let them try to fit them in the hole! When they are older you can add colored stickers around the holes, so that they have to match the colored strip to the colored hole. Super easy and super fun! This would also be a good quiet and portable activity for church or on an airplane.
With this activity they are building fine motor and visual motor skills. They are also learning problem solving, sorting and colors!

I have to admit
I really like Beyonce's new album. It doesn't sound like her normal music, which I hate. She sounds so much more mature and the beats are amazing (which is what got me into it).
I thought the manager I worked with was cool
Until he started playing the song "fast car". Anyone who plays that song is no longer cool.
some peoples music choices just suck
sorry not sorry

I hate when people walk through the commons and play their music
As if everyone wants to hear their music.
If I wanted to hear your shitty music, I'd ask you if I could listen to it but since it's shitty, I won't do that.

To develop trade routes and business partnerships between Qingdao in China, Hull and Humber in the UK and Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, the three parties teamed up to form a tripartite alliance in their Team Sponsorship of the Clipper 2009-10 Race.
Government representatives from the three city-regions met at the pre Race Sponsors' Forum and identified a number of mutual objectives. This led to trade missions, networking events and targeted meetings at several stopovers with a particular focus on fostering relationships between Qingdao, Cape Breton Island and Hull and Humber.
To cement their new found trade relationship, a memorandum of understanding was signed by the three destinations during the Qingdao stopover in China to promote communication and cooperation, especially in two-way investment, import and export, trade exhibitions, education, tourism and culture. This formed the foundation for future business development.
"The Clipper Race project is a great marketing tool that is putting us on the map. It is opening doors for trade and investment, while creating global awareness of our island's strengths and assets."

Q:What was that spicy chocolate we used to get back in the day?
Vosges! It's from Chicago ironically. They have a lot but I used to get Red Fire, with Oaxaca chiles, a lot, there's also Naga that has curry (mostly sweet) and there's one with wasabi and probably some I can't remember. And a lot of non spicy stuff.
I can't figure out how to send this back privately on my phone so here, everyone, go eat vosges.
I'm not even that into cake, but this is fucking JUPITER in cake form…

Ugly Fruit
The idea came from the fact that US markets toss out 15 billion dollars worth of fruits and vegetables each year
just because they are bruised or discolored. But they are still fresh and edible. I felt there was an opportunity to stop
the waste, so Ugly Fruit was born. Ugly Fruit is a stand that makes juice, jams, and dried fruits out of unattractive
produce donated from our neighborhood grocery stores. Ugly fruit, pretty yummy!
More on: mirimseo.com
the store i work at sells bruised fruit at a discount, but so many places don't. and stuff still gets tossed every day.
this is such a good way to use everything :)

Hufflepuff House Cookies
An order from last week- a few months ago I made some jumbo Slytherin house cookies so these were in the same style. Just need to make Ravenclaw and Gryffindor now!
Keeping this FOREVER. All look awesome and all are or can be vegan-ized.
Creamy Spinach Soup
Put 1 chopped onion, 2 peeled garlic cloves, 3 cups water and salt and pepper in a pot over high heat. Boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add 10 ounces chopped spinach and 1/2 cup parsley leaves; cook until the spinach is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup Greek-style yogurt and purée. Garnish: A spoonful of Greek-style yogurt and chopped parsley.
Squash-and-Ginger Soup
Substitute 1 tablespoon minced ginger for the garlic and 4 cups chopped butternut squash for the spinach (it will take longer to soften). Skip the parsley and substitute half-and-half or cream for the yogurt. Garnish: A spoonful of cream.
Curried Cauliflower Soup
Substitute 1 tablespoon minced ginger for the garlic, 2 cups cauliflower florets for the spinach (they will take longer to soften), 1 tablespoon curry powder for the parsley and coconut milk for the yogurt. Garnish: Chopped cilantro.
Vegetable Broth With Toast
Put 2 chopped carrots, 2 chopped onions, 1 small chopped potato, 2 chopped celery ribs, 2 garlic cloves, 10 sliced mushrooms, 1 cup chopped tomatoes (canned are fine), 10 parsley sprigs, 1/2 ounce dried porcini, 8 cups water and salt and pepper in a pot over high heat. Boil, lower heat and simmer until the vegetables are soft, 30 minutes or longer. Strain and serve over toasted good bread. Garnish: Chopped celery leaves.
Egg Drop Soup
Beat 4 eggs. Boil the strained stock, lower the heat so it simmers and add the eggs in a steady stream, stirring constantly until they're cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Skip the bread. Garnish: Chopped scallions.
Rice-and-Pea Soup
Boil the strained stock, lower the heat so it simmers and add 3/4 cup white rice. Cook until tender, then add 2 cups fresh or frozen peas; cook for a minute or two. Skip the bread. Garnish: Grated Parmesan
Bean Soup
Put 1 1/2 cup dried beans, 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, 2 chopped celery ribs, 2 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves and 6 cups water in a pot over high heat. Boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer until the beans are soft, at least 1 hour, adding more water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish: A drizzle of olive oil.
Chickpea-and-Pasta Soup
Substitute chickpeas for the beans and rosemary for the thyme and add 1 cup chopped tomatoes (canned are fine). When the chickpeas are almost tender, add 1/2 cup small pasta. Cook until the pasta and chickpeas are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish: A few chopped rosemary leaves.
Spicy Black-Bean Soup
Use black beans and substitute fresh oregano for the thyme. When the beans are done, add 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 dried or canned chipotle and the juice of a lime. Garnish: Cilantro and sour cream.
Sauté 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped celery rib and 1 teaspoon minced garlic in 3 tablespoons olive oil for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups cubed potatoes and salt and pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup chopped tomatoes (canned are fine) and 5 cups water. Boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup chopped green beans; simmer for 20 minutes. Garnish: Chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.
Mushroom Soup
Substitute 1 1/2 pounds sliced mushrooms (preferably an assortment) for the potatoes; sauté until they brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Substitute ½ cup white wine for the tomatoes, skip the green beans and add a fresh thyme sprig with the water. Garnish: A few thyme leaves.
Tomato-and-Garlic Soup
Use 2 tablespoons minced garlic and substitute 2 tablespoons tomato paste for the celery. Skip the potatoes and green beans; use 3 cups tomatoes and 3 cups water. Cook the tomatoes for 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish: Lots of chopped or torn basil
All of these recipes serve four, and you'll want about a 2.5-to-4-quart (medium or large) pot. Most can be cooked for a while — but not so long that the freshness is gone. Most will taste as good or better the next day, so consider making a double batch and refrigerating (or freezing) the leftovers. But never boil a soup after you've added dairy to it; instead, reheat gently.
If you want a supersmooth soup (and just about any of these soups can be puréed if you like), use a standing blender — let the soup cool a bit first — which creates a finer purée than an immersion blender does; you might even strain the soup after puréeing it.
Garnishes are all optional, though herbs add a dimension that will be lacking otherwise. If you taste as you're cooking, you'll be fine, because there is really nothing to go wrong here.
just adding my soup tips, especially for novice cooks: if you puree soup using a blender, do so in small batches, and pulse it a few times before you turn it on all the way. this will prevent the hot soup from blowing the lid off the blender and making a huge mess. you're gonna want to do it this way even if you let it cool off some first.
also I can't stress tasting the soup as you go enough. most of the time when soup is bland it's because people dump all the seasonings in one go and then leave it alone. soup is more of an art than an exact science, take measurements of seasonings/spices as general guidelines instead of holy writ. don't be afraid to add more.
as tomato paste goes, you want to fry the shit out of it to get the deepest flavor out of it and also to kill the acidity and grainy texture. this is a good rule of thumb when making marinara sauces too.
and don't forget to keep vegetable and herb trimmings for stock. making stock is quick and easy and will make a better soup than just using water. even if you don't have the time/inclination to do so, save em anyway—store-bought vegetable stocks tend to be weak on flavor and trimmings can be used to fortify them. whenever buying any kind of stock though, always buy low-sodium so that you can control the amount of salt. regular stocks tend to be pretty salty.

Cultural Appropriation: Let's Talk Food
I suspect that this would fall under "unpopular opinions" but, yes, I think you can be culturally appropriative of food. I've never heard/seen anyone talk about food specifically as being culturally appropriated, but I highly doubt that my thoughts on this subject are unique. I suspect I just haven't seen some wonderful work done by others. Also, I am relying on the theories and work of others who talk about food justice, even if they haven't actually connected it specifically to cultural appropriation. *Also remember: This is just my own opinion. There are people in marginalized and oppressed groups who may completely disagree with me.*
So let's begin with what I *don't* think constitutes cultural appropriation of food, to get some of the angsty stuff out of the way. I don't believe it is cultural appropriation to
- eat food from another culture
- to learn how to cook food from another culture
- to modify recipes from another culture for your own enjoyment
- to eat at restaurants, authentic or otherwise, that serve food from another culture
- to enjoy learning about another culture thru the traditional and/or modern foods of that culture
So no, I don't think you are a racist asshat because you love guacamole or pad thai. I don't think you are a privileged douchefuck because you sweated to learn how to make a killer tagine that is now the centerpiece of your family's holiday meals.
"What's left?" you may ask. "I can eat what I want, cook what I want, share what I want… okay… then how dare you say that it is possible to appropriate food? Where are you going with this?"
When we talk about food justice we are talking about a few different things. What I will concentrate on here are:
- Access to the foods and ingredients that are meaningful, traditional, and wanted within our culture.
- Access to high quality and fresh foods and ingredients that are available to low income people in low income neighborhoods.
One way that food can be appropriated is by making it difficult for those of the culture from which it stems to gain access to it. For example, quinoa has become very popular outside its native home of Bolivia, but with that popularity comes a price to the Bolivian people that what was a staple of their diet is now too expensive for them to eat. It's fair to assume that it will be replaced by less beneficial alternatives, most likely imported and pre-packaged. I'm not saying that everyone should throw out their quinoa or feel useless guilt for eating it. I am saying that it is a good example of where access to a traditional food has been appropriated by people in such a way as to make it inaccessible to the culture from which it comes. We can think about how much of it we eat, if there are more fair ways to get it, and look for ways to support policies and practices that help Bolivians to be able to make an income off of this seed while still maintaining their cultural practices and access to their own food.
Put another way for U.S.ians, can you imagine not being able to eat an apple or have your July 4th homemade apple pie because the government decided to export most of them, thereby raising the prices of the few available here? Sure, you might see some increase in your income, but it wouldn't be enough to buy you those apples you once took for granted. And it wouldn't be enough to help you to retain the centrality of the apple to your diet. Oh, but hey, apples are a pseudo-cultural marker of the U.S. ("American as apple pie", Johnny Appleseed, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", etc.) but aren't actually a staple for most of us anymore (though perhaps they should be).
Another way that I feel food can be appropriated is by fetishizing it, especially when it includes commercializing it. Privileged white people who visit an "exotic" country and learn all they can about the local cuisine, only to come home and write best-selling books, appear on Martha Stewart, and eventually parlay the experience into their own television deal are a good example of this. Haven't you ever wondered why the food stations are so overwhelmingly pale even as "festive" and "steamy" meals from "far-away lands" are being cooked up using modern technology? How much of that money do you think makes it back into the hands of the people who generously shared their family recipes with the soon-to-be celebrity chef? When the "experts" of our food are people from outside our communities, that is a form of appropriation.
In a lot of ways food becomes the symbol of a culture. Take fry-bread for Natives. Who hasn't heard a joke about fry-bread? Do I think it's wrong for non-Natives to eat fry-bread? No, I don't. But I do think it is wrong when non-Native dieticians etc. point to fry-bread to explain all the health ills of Natives. I also think it's wrong when non-Natives refuse to acknowledge the painful history and creation of fry-bread, and the poverty and scarcity of other food that it also symbolizes. And it is wrong when Natives are reduced to "fry bread eating, commodity taking freeloaders", just as it is wrong when Mexicans are reduced to "beaners", Arabs to "goat grillers", and South Asians to "smelly curry eaters". When our traditional foods are pointed to as jokes or ways to further oppress us, to mark us out as different in a way that is mocked, that is not respectful.
Our traditional foods are central to our cultures too. For some of us there are a lot of memories around sharing those foods, and for many others of us the food was part of our journey back to our people and culture. An honest recognition of that by others is necessary to respect that food. There are also traditional times/occasions for certain foods, and taboos, that should be honored. You can share in our food, but there is still an element of privilege, theft, and imposed change that has to be acknowledged at the same time. Minimizing YOUR theft and imposed change, respecting the traditions that guide when and how that food is served, and being thoughtful of what the food represents for us is a good first step to genuine cultural understanding that moves past appropriation.
Very well written!
I will NEVER get tired of this discussion.

A quick review before Sunday's edition.
How many items have we left in the fridge with the assumption that "it will last," taking it for granted that because its temperature is set within the golden range of 35 to 38 degrees celsius we need not worry, unless the power goes out.
With the introduction of the refrigerator into the average home around the 1950's, food storage, sustainability, and quality were taken as a given. Somehow, because of the convenience and ease of an "open-door" policy, we seem to have forgotten the essentials of what food (vegetables, fruits, meats and cheese's) entail namely, responsibility and care. How do we go about this? Well According to Jihyun Ryou one way is to do what she has done and design a minimalist food preservation system for the modern kitchen.
What differentiate's Ryou's designs from other "buy it off the shelf" or "designer" goods is the importance and transmission of traditional oral knowledge. Traditional oral knowledge brings long or forgotten food practices back into everyday living.
By designing minimal objects for everyday use, Jihyun Ryou gives us an opportunity to enhance our experience and knowledge of food and the traditional oral practices that shape food culture. Foremost, Ryou's designs remind us of our continual dependence upon food and asks us to consider how we approach and treat such food.

"roasted" is also good (and probably superior) for most of these. (i don't even know what jess does to asparagus but it involves like, garlic and maybe chili powder and something else and usually something sweet like jam or agave, roast in aluminum foil, done.)
also i forget that non-usians call peppers capsicum and so i read it "capsaicin" (seeing the peppers) at first and was like WHY WOULD YOU STEAM THAT OMG NOOO

MoJo's Tom Philpott reports:
On Dec. 22, while even the nerdiest observers were thinking more about Christmas plans than food-safety policy, the FDA snuck a holiday gift to the meat industry into the Federal Register. The agency announced it had essentially given up any pretense of regulating antibiotic abuse on factory farms, at least for the time being.
Meanwhile, 25 percent of all beef, chicken, pork, and turkey tested positive for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a recent study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute.
I would say "this is just one reason why I'm vegetarian" (and also "if you don't already know why they have to abuse antibiotics like that…you really don't want to") but really that much antibiotic resistance means WE ARE ALL SCREWED NO MATTER WHAT WE EAT so, um, bring on our mega-germ overlords, I guess. I'll start practicing my "dying of consumption" look.
Highly relevant to my interests.
Oh. my. god.

Autostraddle — Top 10 Ways To Eat Melted Cheese
serious business
Totally. We definitely contemplated havarti and jam grilled cheeses tonight. Number one reason I cannot be a vegan. Vegetarian cheese is pretty easy to come by though.
You CAN also get some pretty decent soy cheese to make your life more awesome if you swing that way too. The melts at Chicago Diner are weirdly awesome, for instance.
If you're vegan AND allergic to soy …I'm sorry o_O?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
adapted, just barely, from How Sweet Eats
(printable recipe)
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened
3/4 to 1 cup powdered sugar (*to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for sprinkling
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar until it dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble. Stir in vanilla and set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar together for 60 seconds. With the mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar and butter mixture. Mix until combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips. Serve with animal cracker, nilla wafers or graham crackers.

So, have you heard about the craziness with Simon Cowell and how he's having a love child with socialite Lauren Silverman? That's not really the crazy part, of course. The reason this particular zygote has been dominating tabloid headlines is because Silverman is married -- to Cowell's friend, Andrew Silverman.
Er, his ex friend, that is. I'm assuming they're no longer BFFs, now that Cowell's been named in Andrew Silverman's divorce filings as a co-respondent, and Andrew's own brother was quoted as saying, "It is an unbelievable story of betrayal." But as the drama continues to swirl with ugly rumors of adultery, estrangement, and birth control trickery, one of the involved parties is getting a SERIOUSLY unfair amount of slut-shaming heat in this whole mess.
I'm talking about the babymama in question, Lauren Silverman. It's been revealed that when she was 16 and attending a private school in Florida, she had an affair with a married English teacher. The man was 26 at the time, and according to former classmates, the relationship went on for about a month and a half before Lauren's mother mother figured out what was going on. The teacher was asked to resign, and Lauren transferred to a different school.
Now, normally when you read about teachers engaged in illegal relationships with their minor students, the story isn't presented in a manner intended to make the underage teenager sound like a conniving whore. But in this case, we've got headlines like "PREGNANT LAUREN SILVERMAN'S VERY RACY PAST," and "LAUREN SILVERMAN'S HOMEWRECKING SEX SCANDAL!"
Even the father of the teacher has whined to the Daily Mail,
He had to leave town because of this bimbo.
Awww, did the poor 26-year-old man have to leave town because he was caught committing a CRIME? Let me just go ahead and quote from Florida's law regarding the age of consent:
A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree.
This teacher should be counting his lucky stars he didn't go straight to JAIL for his relationship with Lauren Silverman. Being underage means that she couldn't legally give consent, full stop. It's beyond disgusting to cite this long-ago incident as proof Silverman is some sort of homewrecking scandal-monster.
Silverman's decision to hook up with Simon Cowell while she was still married certainly seems like bad decision-making to ME, but god knows this sort of thing happens all the time. It's almost like the media's looking for proof she's some sort of sex-crazy siren that trapped poor helpless Simon into his current situation. What about HIS involvement? What about HIS responsibility to use birth control? Why aren't HIS past morals being questioned in the same way Silverman's are? And by the way, wasn't HE the guy who was sleeping with a MARRIED WOMAN?
Do you think it's fair Silverman's past high school incident has been brought up recently?

Once again, Linda, you're the voice of reason of this website. I was horrified to read the other article on this site, slut shaming this woman and calling her a mistress at 16 rather than what she was : the victim of statutory rape. I completely agree with you 100%.
wtf!!..the stir now having a problem with satutory rape while excusing it in several other cases is surpassed only by the "slut shaming" outrage while on this very website we have seen upwards of 5 or 6 stories blasting cowell for this including one asking if it was ok if we judge him now while we have seen only two come anything close to being about her..and trying to compare him sleeping with a married woman to the married woman herself is lame indeed..the husband wasnt married to simon but to her..so dear writer..read your own website before you go off on your usual "poor woman" routine
Elaine, something you should realize about The Stir is that every writer has her or his personal opinions. Not that that means you can't disagree with us individually, of course! Just clarifying that we don't have a unified message on ANY given topic. -- Linda
Whatever she may or may not have done (or had done to her) when she was 16 is beside the point now. Cowell is not responsible for the fact she decide to cheat on her husband and trap Cowell by getting pregnant - overall she sounds like a conniving piece of work
Did Mr. Cowell perhaps forget what condoms are used for?

I played FFXI back when it first started before WoW came out.
IIRC they had a feature that you could turn on and off that would let you flag yourself as a mentor - like an "I'm here to help" flag. Then people looking for help would just find a mentor and ask them questions. This was really great because I really like helping people but sometimes I just want to be left alone. Something like this on WoW would be an awesome addition and probably fairly simple to add in.
Thunderbuck said...
Nice idea!
I really like this idea too!
I always enjoy helping people. I started WoW four years ago as a complete and utter MMO noob (when I was about to log out for the first time, I asked my friend where the save point was...true story). I learned because people were able to point me in the direction of some great resources (Petopia, Thottbot back in the day, Wowhead). No, I won't run you through RFC or give you gold- that's doing your work for you. But I'm happy to loan a hand to point someone in the direction of Mankrik's wife or show them how to get to the zeppelin if they ask nicely.
In two words: be brief and polite. Charm will get you everywhere, dear noobs.

Unknown Creature Discovered In Africa 2012 [PHOTO]

- uploaded: Aug 17, 2012
- Hits: 85
Original: http://youtube.com/ StephenHannardADGUK
Locals came across this strange creature while they were escorting a shooting party in Namibia. Witness's state that the creature was spotted apparently foraging for food, one of the shooting party wounded it with his rifle and it escaped into the thick brush. The locals tracked it to a nearby lair or nest where they found three more creatures of similar size. The wounded creature attacked one of the shooting party and it was shot dead, the others escaped into the brush. The body of the creature was taken back to the local camp, police later removed its corpse and a full forensics investigation is under way. A video is pending on this so I will post if and when I receive it. So what is this guys, an Alien, Goblin, maybe a new species of pigmy or something more sinister, as always you decide.

Wisest of all wise wizards, the icicle and stalactite-bearded Gary hails from Frangle Rocks. Gary may look hunched, crippled and probably incontinent, but he is a worthy ally for Arrabella; able to take out an enemy with the slightest flick of his Llama Bone wand. But is there more to Gary than just wizardly wiseness and spells? Is he hiding a deep, dark secret or three, or has he simply forgotten?

This lesson introduces students to Achebe's first novel and to his views on the role of the writer in his or her society.
Was the Treaty of Versailles, which formally concluded World War I, a legitimate attempt by the victorious powers to prevent further conflict, or did it place an unfair burden on Germany? This lesson helps students respond to the question in an informed manner. Activities involve primary sources, maps, and other supporting documents related to the peace process and its reception by the German public and German politicians.
The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan was the hub of a rich civilization that dominated the region of modern-day Mexico at the time the Spanish forces arrived. In this lesson, students will learn about the history and culture of the Aztecs and discover why their civilization came to an abrupt end.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is an excellent school for parents to begin a solid education background for their children. The staff knows every child and parents' name. Mr. Coonrad is the best principle because he is determine to meet the needs of all students. My yougest son has learning and speech disability. The staff and Mr. Coonrad worked together to make sure he got on and off of the bus every day and went to his class. If sometime I couldn't get off of work in time, Mr. Coonrad would wait at the bus stop for me to arrive to pick up both of my boys. My boys are well mannered, my oldest son is on the honor roll. My youngest boy's speech is clearly understood by others.
This is one of the best schools in the district. The staff is wonderful and I would recommend this school to anyone. The teachers really care what happens to your child. It is a safe environment.

NLPShort for natural language processing, a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with analyzing, understanding and generating the languages that humans use naturally in order to interface with computers in both written and spoken contexts using natural human languages instead of computer languages.
One of the challenges inherent in natural language processing is teaching computers to understand the way humans learn and use language. Take, for example, the sentence "Baby swallows fly." This simple sentence has multiple meanings, depending on whether the word "swallows" or the word "fly" is used as the verb, which also determines whether "baby" is used as a noun or an adjective. In the course of human communication, the meaning of the sentence depends on both the context in which it was communicated and each person��s understanding of the ambiguity in human languages. This sentence poses problems for software that must first be programmed to understand context and linguistic structures.
NLP is also referred to as computational linguistics.

Social interactions and daily tasks involved in being a successful member of the human species can sometimes feel automated and depersonalizing. Sometimes others appear as malfunctioning machines, repeating the same maladaptive or just menial behaviors. . .and thats when sometimes philosophy is the only consolation, well that and laughing and maybe a mountain hike.
My Statement: I believe we humans live in an environment surrounded by biology and technology, yet a majority of us focus merely on short sighted effects of those things. Contemporary discoveries in science and advances in technology describe an existence in a much more mechanistic way than any of us could have imagined. Being able to incorporate this information into our conscious while maintaining respect for human creativity and emotion will be important for future human technological advancements and environmental management. I also believe life extension "200+ years" via bio-physiological modification is well within the grasp of my generation, and I'll do my best to participate in these efforts.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Atom and the Archetype is a series of letters exchanged between quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli and psychoanalyst extraordinaire/founding father of analytic psychology Carl Jung (also, my primary reason for studying psychology).
The startling aspect to this communique is how at times if you don't know the penman at the end of the epistle, you can confuse the scientist for the shrink and vice versa.
Marvelous and confounding and very highly recommended a read.
I can't believe I've never heard of this. Finding and reading ASAP.
I believe in objective secular morality, founded on reason and universalism. I think a common mistake is the idea that if we ditch religion, we must fall back on moral relativity. Then the religious people feed on this and get to accuse secular people of being nihilists or hedonists. But I think that an objective secular morality can easily be formulated without relying on an appeal to authority, wether that be an appeal to a deity or an appeal to government. In some ways, I share a lot in common with the philosophy of the Objectivists (Ayn Rand's philosophy), although I think they make some wrong turns and draw some erroneous political conclusions.
I think that morality has declined in the west because we have abandoned reason for secular forms of faith (often political ones). We are not taught to value ourselves. Rather, we are taught to value an endless array of group-identities. Thus, instead of identifying ourselves as individuals we think of ourselves as a part of imaginary collective constructs, such as political groups, races, nations, economic classes, and so on. Out of the crises of meaning brought on by the relative fall of medievalist religion, we have sought meaning in the wrong places. And the pursuit of science has unfortunately lead us down a path that leads people to erroneously accept determinism, thus denying free will. We need a new enlightenment.
As postmodern icon David Byrne, and his band Talking Heads said: "Stop making sense."
what the fuck is this shit
Lol, I really like the talking heads but postmodernism is so ridiculous.
Even if you read the Dadaist manifesto they claim to be a cacophony or culture-jam, but their very existence is part of culture, makes a statement, progresses ideas or thoughts … i.e. unless everyone destroys all history or their memory at the exact same time, they exist as a form of modernism because they exist in time space.
The Skin Team by Jordaan Mason, page 131 (via closerbones)
Psychiatric drugs have become yet another commodity that we have learned to live with or even enjoy, like S.U.V.s or Cheetos. Yet the industry is in trouble.
Worth the quick read.
Serendipitous science and hormone imbalance myth? A few months ago I went to a lecture related to this from a visiting prof. who claimed that antidepressants were proven to work no better than placebos, he cited studies to back up his claims and if I remember correctly he also thought depression itself shouldn't even be considered a pathology. I'm not often an optimist but I find it almost offensive to think that current pharmacological treatments don't work or that there may be no treatment available for people suffering from depression, perhaps I've just bought into the myth, which may be somewhat disappointing considering I was educated as a behaviorist. We shall wait…
there's so much hostility everywhere over everything and nowhere to get away from it. do other people feel like this? what do you do to cope?
Oh well, I often imagine a near futuristic society led by scientists and intellectuals "where all my pedantic qualities are appreciated". War, violence, over consumption and the monetary system are seen as forms of disorganization and are thus eliminated from our culture… human culture. Any current political,environmental, or economic troubles will soon be remembered as an almost childish view of our biosphere after the roar of consilience has arrived.
Umm so I read articles about scientific/tech advancements, make time to appreciate art and drink a lot of tea. It's like all the maladaptive behaviors currently taking place on a global scale are just a hiccup which will be resolved by human innovation. I don't think it's denial or just being hopeful, I think it's logical foresight err acknowledgment of longitudinal human advancement.Or sometimes I just stay in bed all day and watch cartoons.
Since moving, I've made observations of the significant social differences in living in a neighbourhood with a large Arab population. Today, after almost hitting me with their car (and subsequently being told off by myself), three young Arab men waited for me to exit the bakery so they could swear at me and assault me.
It's easy to write off an incident such as this as a simple altercation, of which there are many, independent of one's cultural background. But it's hard to not take this and connect the dots with men who stare at me constantly and the complete lack of women socializing in my neighbourhood.
Until we are willing to have mature, rational discussions about how "imported" cultures can affect our society – a discussion that cannot exist if we are quick to hurl accusations of racism and "Islamophobia" around every time someone criticizes aspects of someone else's culture – these incidents are destined to repeat themselves, and to worsen.
One of my favorite professors was labeled a racist for pointing out a lack of cultural integration. It's not even as though he or you are saying they should conform, it's a matter of acknowledging differences. US culture is ingrained with protestant ideals, and for the most part I like it, I'm agnostic but still appreciate it.

text: "The Drum Computer (or Percussion Computer) from Movement Computer Systems is a very rare British made drum machine circa 1981. It is estimated that only 30 or so units were produced. It combines analog synthesized drum sounds (Simmons style) and digital 8-bit sampled drum sounds (LinnDrum style). There are seven voice cards, each with two drum voices, for a total of 14 drum voices. Each drum voice can be switched between either the analog (syn) or digital (real) mode and has its own Volume and Pitch-Sustain control knobs."
