Earth Day Offers Visibility, Fun, Engagement
It's Earth Day this Sunday and National Volunteer Month for a few weeks more, so loads of associations and their member companies and professionals are organizing, educating, celebrating, volunteering, and just plain participating in this worldwide effort to bolster environmental conservation.
Here's a snapshot of what some are doing or already have done--and it's not too late to join in yourself!
Start by downloading the free Earth Day 2012 Toolkit , where you can also learn about and be inspired by "A Billion Acts of Green," the world's largest environmental service campaign. And if you're in DC, you may want to check out the massive party scene happening at the National Mall rally and concerts either in person or online (live-streaming at www.earthday.org)
Sounds like some more partying will go on over at the 2012 Mighty Kindness Earth Day Hootenanny on April 22 organized by the Kentucky Chiropractic Association. The fun is combined with a more serious purpose: promoting a new state license "Go Green with Chiropractic" plate that aims "to elevate the chiropractic industry and its environmentally friendly nature in Kentucky" and raise some money as well.
The Eco-Dentistry Association will host its first tweetchat for dental industry professionals and consumers worldwide "to discuss the essentials of a high-tech, wellness based, and successful green dental practice."
The American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources (SEER) in sponsoring the One Million Trees Project-Right Tree for the Right Place at the Right Time nationwide public service project. Started in March 2009, the project "calls on ABA members to contribute to the goal of planting one million trees across the United States by 2014 - both by planting trees themselves and by contributing to the partnering tree organizations." It also is promoting nominations for the 2012 ABA Award for Excellence in Environmental, Energy, and Resources Stewardship.
Entertainment Cruises is partnering with the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) has partnered with Entertainment Cruises to offer an Earth Day brunch cruise to enjoy Washington, DC, views while learning from the NAAEE about green energy, environmental initiatives and its upcoming conference.
More than 1,000 volunteers of the Student Conservation Association (SCA) are engaging in 10 signature Earth Day projects from prairie re-vegetation to exotic plant species removal on public lands across the U.S. on April 14 and 21. These events have some powerful sponsors, including American Eagle Outfitters, ARAMARK, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Exelon Foundation, Johnson Controls, Sony, and Southwest Airlines.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has released the First Annual Report of the eCycling Leadership Initiative, which details how the consumer electronics industry has dramatically increased its recycling in 2011 and advanced the goals set by the eCycling Leadership Initiative (also called the Billion Pound Challenge). For instance, participants of the initiative arranged for the responsible recycling of 460 million pounds of consumer electronics, a 53% increase over the 300 million pounds recycled in 2010. The number of recycling drop-off locations for consumers also was bolstered from to nearly 7,500 from just over 5,000 a year ago. And CEA launched GreenerGadgets.org to educate consumers about eCycling and energy consumption. By entering a ZIP code, anyone can locate the closest responsible recycling opportunity sponsored by the CE industry and/or third-party certified recycler. The initiative aims to increase electronics recycling to one billion pounds annually by 2016 and providing transparent metrics on eCycling efforts. A billion pounds of unrecycled waste electronics would fill a 71,000-seat NFL stadium.
The American Medical Student Association and Medical Alumni Association at Temple University are planting seeds and preparing a "Medicinal and Edible Learning Garden" and education event to discuss natural medicinal remedies.
The National Parks and Recreation Association is urging people to take advantage of waived entrance fees at U.S. national parks from April 21 to April 29 during National Park Week. Download your free Owner's Guide to America's National Parks. I know a few associations that are planning staff picnics and hikes at local parks and Great Falls National Park in sync with this promotional event.
The New York City Association of Hotel Concierges (NYCAHC) and its affiliate members will celebrate MillionTreesNYC at a "Dig In for Earth Day" tree-planting event May 5 in partnership with Mayor Bloomberg and NYC Parks and New York Restoration Project. Since the program's inception in 2007, thousands of New Yorkers have helped plant over 400,000 trees, with NYCAHC planting more than 2,000 of them.
American Forests' easy online calculator and offsetting options make it easy to offset your home or car pollution (I offset my minivan's emissions for about $17 last year through AF). Earth Day Network also offers an eco-calculator.
Whatever you do, just consider doing something green this weekend and join your colleagues in making the planet a bit healthier for us all!

48 peaks
A sightless vision of summits in winter for Nashua man
DURHAM -- When Randy Pierce, a blind hiker from Nashua, was about to embark on a journey last winter to summit all 48 of New Hampshire's highest peaks in one cold season, novice filmmaker Dina Sutin asked if she could tag along and film the journey.
The result is a documentary titled "Four More Feet," which will have its Seacoast premiere in the University of New Hampshire's Memorial Union Building on Monday night at 7 p.m.
The title has multiple meanings: one focusing on the four-legged support of Pierce's dedicated guide dog, Quinn, and a second that is shared as the film, and the journey, progresses.
Sutin said she got much more out of the experience than she was expecting when she began filming in December 2011.
In a word, she described the experience of following Pierce as "humbling." And, she added, audiences seem humbled as well once they've seen the film.
"You immediately reconsider your own abilities when you see someone that has an alleged disability who is so well adapted and manages to continue to do all the things they love seemingly effortlessly," Sutin said.
The key word there is "seemingly." In fact, Pierce's life has been far from effortless.
Shortly after graduating from UNH in 1988, he began losing his vision to a neurological disorder that also confined him to a wheelchair for one year, eight months and 21 days.
Two successful experimental treatments got him out of the chair and on his feet. Friends with the UNH Outdoor Education program then got him out on the mountains.
Last March, Pierce, Quinn and co-hikers Justin Fuller and Kyle Dancuse, another UNH alum, completed their journey. Sutin chronicled it all: three months, 200 miles and 88,000 feet of elevation.
At the beginning of the winter of 2011-12, 46 hikers were on record for summiting New Hampshire's 48 peaks in a single winter. Pierce became the first blind person to accomplish the feat, and Quinn became the first guide dog to do so.
Having a guide dog willing and excited to walk tough terrain came by chance, Pierce said.
"He showed an incredible aptitude for it," Pierce said of Quinn. "Guide dogs are not trained for this kind of thing. Most of the trails in the White Mountains are the type of environment they are trained to avoid."
Throughout the film, Pierce said, Quinn's happiness is in evidence - from his wagging tail to his boundless energy.
In the end, Pierce said, what the pair accomplished first and foremost is "ability awareness versus disability awareness."
That's an issue he speaks about to students all over the state through his charity 2020 VisionQuest, founded in 2010. The goal of the organization is to "inspire people to reach beyond adversity and achieve their highest goals," Pierce said.
His winter hiking journey began as a way to lead by example. His message is about choice.
"The challenge is real, and it has a real impact on every one of us," Pierce said. "The choice of how we respond to that challenge is always ours, and the choice we make will have a bigger influence on our life than any challenge ever could.
"I like to think I'm verification of that theory."
One of his next goals is to summit the 48 peaks in the non-winter seasons. He, and Quinn, already are more than halfway to their goal.
"I hope to be climbing in life for a lot longer still," Pierce said.
Accompanied by "the Mighty" Quinn and Sutin, Pierce will be in attendance at Monday's screening to answer questions after the film.
For a limited time, the DVD will be available for purchase online at www.2020visionquest.org.

10. The Pines And The Apple Tree (Derhak)
11. Billy Goat (Derhak)
Available May 27, 2014 on Sugar Hill Records, moe.'s new album No Guts, No Glory finds moe. at their most inventive and resilient. The album's eleven songs (fourteen on the deluxe digital and double vinyl editions) took a winding path into existence. "These songs were written with an acoustic album in mind," says guitarist and vocalist Chuck Garvey. When that original intention fell victim to logistical hurdles, Garvey says, "we ended up making a whole different thing."
That "different thing" turned out to be a vibrant collaboration with longtime moe. ally Dave Aron. Aron has distinguished himself over the past twenty years as a go-to hip-hop engineer and producer, facilitating albums by Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, and many others. "But he's also worked with Prince and U2," moe. drummer Vinnie Amico explains. "Hip-hop is where he carved his niche, but he's got an ear for rock."
The acoustic foundation of No Guts, No Glory adds a buoyancy and richness to the album's songs and performances, which are put across with an energetic, spontaneous feel true to moe.'s well-earned reputation as as a thrilling live band. "Dave basically wanted to emulate a show," says percussionist Jim Loughlin. "He was focused on the vibe." Acoustic instrumentation, from mandolin to vibes, is woven into the album's multi-textured fabric, enhancing songs as diverse as the expansive psychedelia of "Silver Sun," the churning, rootsy "Annihilation Blues," and the languid, loungey "Same Old Story."

Here's what she had to say: "My week at Refinery29 was exciting and eventful. Each day was a different adventure. The assignments ranged from style gathering to style hunting. One day, I helped with research for an upcoming article. The next, I was hitting the streets to photograph stylish people (for Refinery29's Street Style section). Oh, and I was soaking in some of NYC's best fashion and food destinations in the process. Plus, I met some incredibly cool people along the way."

Here's another hot find from Amazon's 55% off Kitchen Wares sale.
Get the Zojirushi BB-CEC20WB Home Bakery Supreme 2-Pound-Loaf Breadmaker, White for $171.28, regularly $289.
Per Amazon Price Tracker, this is the lowest the Zojirushi has ever been on Amazon!
I will tell you that I hesitated to post this, because I know that $170 is A LOT to spend on a bread maker. But the Zojirushi is the granddaddy bread maker of them all and when we've talked bread machines in the past, a number of you have mentioned wanting to find a deal on one. It is universally praised – from consumers to Consumer Reports. So, if you're looking for the very best – at the very best price you can get it for – this is it.
What I like about the Zoijirushi is that it makes a two-pound rectangular loaf, so your bread comes out looking like, well, bread, and not an overly tall mushroom.
Shipping is free with either Amazon Prime or Super Saver Shipping.
As always, Amazon pricing can change on a dime, so please confirm prices before you check-out.
P.S. I know the timing is a little off, but what can you do – the sales are when the sales are!

Cheap and noisy
We can only use this fan on the low setting. It makes all sorts of noises if we try medium. High is out of the question. Even the low is sometimes disturbing. I'm not talking about a constant fan sound, but an uneven scraping/rattling sound. Buy a better fan. There's no point in spending money on a cheap one if you can't use it.Read More
Looks Great
This made my new Kitchen POP I think I made a good choice.Read More
Beautiful Fan, Great Price
Bought two when I remodeled my home and I adore them!Read More
SIMPLE AND CONTEMPORARY I LIKE ITRead More
light and modern
I have two of these fans in my Kitchen. They are modern and sleek but very light. They also put off a nice flow of air but not overwhelming.Read More
Great Fan! Here are the details ...
First off, one thing they don't mention on the site is that the blades are silver on one side (and edges) and a natural wood color on the other, so you have options. The silver side is a painted wood, the other a laminate. They look just fine. Second, this fan comes with a remote to control the light (on/off) and the fan (off/low/medium/high). That means there is a transmitter that you connect your power to inside the fan housing. It also means that I could bypass the "light output" from the transmitter (blue cord if I recall) and connect the light directly to a light switch. In other words, I preferred to use the remote to control the fan, but a normal light switch to control the light. Two 40 watt bulbs are not very bright so you'll probably need to use a lamp or other lights in the room. If light output is a priority for you, you'll probably want to find a 3-light unit with 60 watts per light. However, you are probably after the sleek look of this unit rather than those ugly 3 spotlight units of old. It's worth the tradeoff to me. Lastly, this fan pushes a lot of air. We have it mounted above our bed and we use it to better regulate our comfort and not use the a/c so much. Enjoy!Read More
Fan only worked 1 year and 1 month
Loved the unit when purchased; however, 1 year and 1 month later the fan stopped working. Changed the batteries and fan still does not work; light does. Contacted Overstock Customer Care and informed that they don't have any information on the manufacturer and Overstock can't accept fan as a return because I have had it for over a year. I don't want to return the unit; just want info on how to get the fan working. I have ceiling fans with light fixtures in practically every room in my house and none has stopped working after a year of operation. In fact I have one fan/light unit in one room for over 20 years and still works fine. Not trying to get another fan and pay electrician to install; just trying to get help on getting the fan portion of this one to function properlly.Read More
Perfect Fan
HIghly recommend this ceiling fan. It has a great contemporary feel. I was nervous about getting 3 blades instead of 5, but the 3 blades make it look more modern and newer. Gives off good light and was easy to install.Read More
Fan arrived in good condition and was not missing any pieces. After a few curse words and adjustments my husband was able to install the fan. It's sleek and contemporary and works with minimal noise. We both love it!Read More
Nice looking fan.
This is a very nice looking contemporary fan. The price is good in when comparing to other similar fans. The light is not particularly bright so if you are looking for a lot of light, this fan is not for you.Read More

Hello SavvyGirl, the kit that comes with the fan model number 35036 is able to adapt to a 15% slope. There are no additional adapters. Have a great day.
I just purchased this fan and I do not see anywhere in the instructions where it tells you how to hardwire a light dimmer switch. I am replacing a fan that is wired to a light dimmer switch and a separate fan on/off switch. I would like to use the wall dimmer switches to turn the fan and light on and off, while using the remote to control fan speed. Is this possible?
Hello Thomas Tadlock, this is not recommended to be wired to a dimmer switch. Have a good day!
What is the actual color of the fan blades?
Hello tesone21, unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
where can I order a new glass shade ?
Hello jat, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
I purchased this fan, and can't figure out how to change the lightbulb. Is there a manual I can download?

Thank you for shopping with us! http://www.lightingdirect.com/monte-carlo-discus-five-bladed-52-inch-ceiling-fan-blades-and-light-kit-included/p294869

I purchased this fan, and can't figure out how to change the lightbulb. Is there a manual I can download?
Thank you for contacting us, queenbeenw. You will be contacted by Customer Care.
The Product Specs says 2 CFL bulbs, but the product features table says Incandescent bulbs. Which is it? Also, whatever type of bulb it is, is the light dimmable? Thank you.
Thank you for your question petalpower. The Contemporary 52-inch Brushed Nickel 2-light Ceiling Fan is now supplied with two non-dimmable CFL bulbs. With the purchase of dimmable CFL bulbs the ceiling fan light can be dimmable. You will need a three wire system (two for fan and one for light) dimmer to dim the light and operate the fan. Have a great.
The product specs say this has a pull chain, but the product description says it has a remote, with no mention of a pull chain. Which is correct?
Remote no pull chain and the remote never worked
Is it possible to use this without the remote? In other words, can it be hardwired into the light switch for turning off and on? To be more precise, I'm looking for a fan that will work with the hard-wired light switches that are made for control of both the fan and the light, from the wall switch. You just switch out your light switch (the one that controls the existing ceiling light), and replace it with a universal ceiling fan/light switch. Will this one work with that?
Can someone please send me information on the fan's transmitter breaking? Instruction manual would be great also. Thanks
can you please recommend an extension rod to use with this fan? i know you said the diameter should be 3/4 inch however that seems to be the standard and others have said those are not compatible...
Thank you for contacting us ernmckern. Unfortunately we cannot recommend an extension rod to use with this fan. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I purchased this fan, and can't figure out how to change the lightbulb. Is there a manual I can download?

Thank you for your question junipersmiles. The minimum height of the fan from the ceiling to the bottom of the shade is approximately 12 inches. Have a great day.

Conjunctivitis is swelling and irritation in the eye. It affects the tissue that covers the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelid. This tissue is called the conjunctiva.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are many causes of conjunctivitis including:
Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious.
This condition is more common in children.
Factors that may increase your risk of conjunctivitis include:
Symptoms include:
Conjunctivitis will usually clear up within 2-14 days. If conjunctivitis is caused by a seasonal allergy, it may continue throughout the season. If it is caused by a non-seasonal allergy, it may continue to occur year round.
These symptoms can sometimes indicate a more serious medical problem. If you develop these or any other symptoms, see your doctor.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. Your eyes will be examined. If there is discharge from your eye, it may be tested. The discharge will help find the cause of the conjunctivitis.
If you wear contacts, avoid wearing contact lenses until the conjunctivitis has cleared.
Treatment will depend on the cause of the conjunctivitis:
Antibiotic eye drops and/or ointment may be prescribed. These drops will help shorten the course of the infection. It will also decrease the amount of time it is contagious. Wipe away any discharge with a clean cotton ball before using the drops.
There is no medication to cure a viral infection. To help relieve discomfort consider:
Avoid the cause of the irritation. Apply cool compresses to the affected area. You may be prescribed eye drops to help relieve allergic conjunctivitis.
If you have a bacterial or viral infection, follow these steps to prevent the spread of infection:
To decrease your chance of conjunctivitis:
Your doctor may recommend other prevention methods, depending on the cause.

Dynasty 350 EN/EP settings.
Thanks Dave. I have the quick reference guide. Got one with my 200DX. I'll go through the 350 owners manual and see what I can figure out. I was trying to take a short cut to save time. The company gets a little tweaked about us playing with the new machines on their time. Lol ! Have to figure things out after work, or before I clock in. But, I'll get there.

AC pulse
On my Dynasty 200dx I have a provision for pulse which I use all the time, I am wonderig if there is anything in the works for a sine wave or AC type of pulse?
The dc pulse when set low enough to work really well drives my eyes nuts with the instant on off......
I use the dc pulse at about 50 cycles for the above reason, and I also use the foot pedal in a rhythmic fashion to give me a sort of an AC or sine wave type pulse at about .5 cycles per second, this works really well on 22 gage sheet metal and at the slow rate it doesnt bother my eyes.

approximately 10 amps dc average

350 Memory
Hi Guys,
I have been using my 3 week old dynasty(sweet machine)almost every day and have a problem with saving setups in the memory,if i setup the paramerters in say #2 and set the EN/EP for "same" and add all the other settings and then add another program in #3 and set EN/EP for independant and add all other settings and then go back to #2 saved program the EN/EP that was set to "same" is now changed to independent but all other settings remained the same,hope that made sense....is there something i'm supposed to do like a save button or something,i'm sure it is something i'm doing wrong.Any ideas?

on my 350 you enter the advanced tig settings to adjust wave form by pressing the Amp button and Gas/Dig button together. once in there you can adjust all advanced settings including wave form.

I've read through this entire thread and it seems to be a good idea to centralize a place where process related info can be gathered on a particular machine. I notice no activity in some time now. This is a really good resource especially for a newbie like me. I documented this by cutting and pasting them into one file. I focused on the post that mentioned specific process and the settings used. Good 200DX quick settings reference resource!!! After experimenting with my 200DX, I have a question:
1. What is the difference between these two settings:
1. Amp 60, PPS 300, Peak 50, Background 50
2. Amp 34, PPS 300, Peak 90, background 50
if I understand correctly, I realize in #1 peak=30amps, background =15amps, and #2 peak=30amps (give or take .01 or so) background = 15 amps. If the numbers are equal the same amps output will the weld characteric (performance) be the same -- minus the use of a foot pedal? Please let me know and correct me if I'm misunderstanding.
2nd question -- what usually causes an EWG tungsten to ball up when welding mild steel?

Seductions of Rice: Basmati, Gobindavog, South Indian Red: The Indian Way
Include page number and discussion.
Sultana Chutney ... page 249
Banana Salad ... page 252
Each a nice surprise for me! *Very* little cooking will get you two unusual and really good-tasting little bowls full of toppings or stir-ins for rice.
The Sultana Chutney ...
uses golden raisins, toasted & ground cumin seeds, minced ginger, fresh lime juice and serrano chiles. I had ground cumin, but "toasted" it anyway--at least I pushed it around in a small frying pan until it smelled toasty. I grated the ginger (large holes), put the raisins and chiles in the processor with lime juice. I'm not a heat/hot fan, so used jentle jalapenos not serranos. The result is just fine -- not my beloved Major Grey Mango Chutney, but I'd sure put out a bowlful to accompany rice and curry.
The Banana Salad ...
uses some of the same flavors -- a little heat in the form of cayenne, and cumin. You (very fast and easy) fry up chopped banana with the spices, then mix with plain yogurt. This takes around 4 seconds, and you've got *another* interesting little dish to go with your big dish. I loved this combination of flavors.
What a good introduction to this book -- little time or effort, but now I have confidence the more involved recipes will be worthwhile too.
re: blue room
Wow. Banana salad is calling to me. Is it considered a side dish? Or a snack? Very interesting.
re: The Dairy Queen
In the book, the author ate it from a green banana leaf at a temple festival in India, but describes it as an accompaniment for rice or rice dishes. I thought it was so good I just kept "tasting" 'til it was gone, long before any rice was around. It's not pretty due to cooking the banana--mushy and discolored a bit from the spices--but the nicest flavor!
re: The Dairy Queen
As kids, we used to frequently have banana salad or similar fruit chaat as a snack for afternoon tea. As far as I remember, it was never served with rice.
re: blue room
Banana Salad – p. 252
s soon as the cumin seeds started to sizzle in the hot pan their warm, mellow aroma told me that they'd pair perfectly with banana. My mouth started watering. I couldn't wait to sample this simple yet exotic dish that this book's authors describe being served to them on a small piece of banana leaf. I'm delighted to report that this lovely salad exceeded our expectations and the final dish is far, far greater than the sum of its parts. At once sweet, hot, creamy and tangy with the wonderful nutty, peppery crunch of the cumin seeds; this little salad was just fantastic. Delicious on its own, it also made an excellent condiment for our Indian-spiced grilled chicken and was delicious smeared on our toasted whole-wheat naan breads. Blue room thanks so much for pointing out this wonderful dish!
re: Breadcrumbs
I'm intrigued Blue Room and BC, cannot wait to try this!
Bengali Potato and Cauliflower Curry ... page 271
This is lively, but still potatoes and cauliflower, so definitely homey too.
It calls for mustard oil -- practically a staple for this kind of cooking I learned -- so I mashed some (black, brown, & yellow) mustard seeds into canola oil to get some flavor. The vegetables are chopped and cooked in this oil. Then comes a mix of aniseseed, cinnamon, cardamom, bay, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, turmeric, salt, and sugar. The mix is cooked in a certain order and put with the potato and cauliflower. Add water, "boil hard" for 10 minutes -- the notes explain that this dish needs to come together fully, and the vegetables should be "very tender"-- comfort food.
I substituted fennel seed for the aniseseed, used waxy red potatoes, which kept their shape.
It's very good, a different flavor for us. I made some toppings (posted yesterday) to go with this--2 chutneys, one raisin one banana. Plain white rice goes well, though it seems too much to spoon potatoes over rice. Just have a little of everything--that's what I like about curries.
re: blue room
Lucky for you, aniseed would probably not be used anyway! Fennel seed is more authentic. By the way, you would not get the same flavour as mustard oil by simply crushing a few seeds in oil. Mustard oil has a distinctive taste, do try and get some.
re: Muchlove
Oh I'm sure my "mustard oil" wasn't near authentic! Is mustard oil very hot ?
re: blue room
Hmm, I would describe as pungent. Sometimes it is heated to smoking point and this mellows it considerably. But othertimes it is left completely raw, not even heated to fry anything, as in alu bhate where boiled and mashed potatoes are mixed with raw mustard oil, raw green chillies, raw onion and salt. Delicious!
re: Muchlove
I bought some mustard oil, but then was deterred using it because it said "for external use only". A fellow shopper at the small Pakistani grocery assured me that she cooked with it, although communication was limited. I read that all mustard oil in the United States is marked that way, but it is the oil used in India (Northern?) cooking? So I should go forward and be brave and use it? Or is there some other mustard oil I should be buying?
re: mscoffee1
The FDA doesn't approve it for food use hence the labeling. It's up to you (and I'm not sure what health effects it might have) - my SIL (from Kolkata fka Calcutta) uses it occasionally, though.
re: mscoffee1
It is perfectly fine to use.
re: luckyfatima
I wonder how one would use it "externally" ?
re: blue room
Ha ha maybe a different website.
re: blue room
how to use externally-mustard oil mixed with turmeric is supposedly good to rub on wounds/burns or just plain applied on skin and hair to improve the quality.
re: luckyfatima
Thank you luckyfatima and thank you buttertart.
re: blue room
Oh, that looks delicious! I've bookmarked quite a few of the chutneys from this section; you've inspired me to try more!
re: Allegra_K
Try the ginger and banana pachadis. It's been a while since I've made them, but I remember them as extremely delicious!
re: blue room
Dear Friend,
For Rarh cooking, cauliflower and potaoes are cooked in two different styles, one reserved for the lunch and "snack" type meals served with fried breads and the other for the evening and/or "big" occasions such as religious festivals or important guests and celebrations. The spicing is different too, and never mixed up. Much of Rarh cooking, for brahmans and Vaishnava vegetarian meals never employ garlic or onion, and that is a characteristic feature of this style of Bengali cuisine, and its flavor palette. Please let me offer you some genuine hints because it pains me a great deal to see the weird things floating around, claiming to be "Bengali" food!
First, the "dark" evening "curry" properly termed a "daalnaa". The cauliflower must be cut in BIG WHOLE florets, and there is a particular technique where you slice into the flower stalk, the pedicel, and then gently tear apart the flower bud portion. Now gently sautee the florets in a hot SS pan or steel pan with scant oil so that you scorch them a bit; you will begin to smell a typical cauliflower aroma arising. Set apart. Cut russet potatoes or yukon gold , both with skin on, into very large chunks, and lightly fry, set aside. Now prepare your masala!
Take root ginger and finely grind it on stone; this is going to be the base for your gravy; it should be silken smooth. Use your judgement, a couple, three tablespoon, because ginger varies in pungency and fiber content.
Next, do the same to some thai green chilies of long green chilies of pronounced aroma; you can remove seed & membrane, to reduce heat. We just need the aroma. The grind need not be fine.
Next, if you can manage such, the finest taste comes from stone ground red chilies [again no heat, only aroma and color] and stone-ground turmeric rhizomes. Soak in water, and grind.
Then, whole coriander seed, whole cumin seed, whole black peppercorn, by volume, 2: 1.5: 0.5. wash, soak, grind on Indian stone metate to silken paste. Use judgement how much.
Now your aromatics to flavor the hot oil: CASSIA leaf [never bay!!], cassia bark, cloves, green cardamom lightly crushed, a little bit of whole cumin seed. Please note, NOTHING else!
You can use mustard oil or pure ghee, gently heat just to the point the aromatics will release flavor, and pop them in with a short prayer. When they swell and swim around, you may add a pinch of asafetida, if you have any, but do not bother; add ginger paste, then green chili paste, stir to release aroma, followed by turmeric and red chili paste, and the coriander/cumin/peppercorn paste. There needs to be a fair amount of fat, control heat, and keep water handy to sprinkle so that the spices never scorch but cook with equanimity and give off a satisfied fragrance. If you have been adding tiny splashes of water, you will have a mass of spice, to which you will now add the potaoes, and gently "bhunao" them for a wee bit of time, but long enough to drive away all that aroma. This is where in vegetarian cooking, an apprenticeship is invaluable, and learning this type of Indian cooking from cookbooks is often fraught with failure.
OK, so now add sea salt and brown sugar, or cane jaggery, quite a bit because the dalna will be distinctly sweet. gradually build up the gravy with boiling water, and cover, cook until potatoes are half tender, and then add cauliflower, cook until just tender and gravy thick. Thin very slightly if need be. This is your dalnaa. Add ghee, if necessary, just before serving and eat with a freshly sliced lime, and whole wheat tortilla toasted on griddle until they are puffed and develop dark spots. Chinese grocery frozen roti prata also ok, but very rich.
If you like this, then I shall post your other dish that does contain fennel or aniseed, either is fine. It can also have mustard paste or not. But then it will NOT have the dark masala + garam masala combination, not ever in the Rarh palette of accepted flavors. And no onions in orthodox cooking. Numerous lovely dishes using cabbage, Lagenaria, and many other interesting vegetable, including eggplant with Neem leaves, a shockingly bitter preparation that you may grow to love and that is exceedingly good for your health.
This is the REAL Rarh, my gracious lady, not the imagination of some half-baked author.!!
Spicy Yogurt Sauce with Ginger (page 256)
I had most of the ingredients on hand (but, unfortunately, no curry leaves) and at Westminstress's urging, decided to give this a try. It was very refreshing, and a lovely accompaniment to a piece of simply broiled salmon and plain brown jasmine rice. But I thought it was a bit harsh, especially the second day when, as they say, "the coconut recedes just a bit and the ginger comes forward." I've made a note for next time to try it with two, instead of three, tablespoons of finely minced ginger. Mine was also considerably more spicy than just "some chile warmth," but that was probably because I crushed a whole dried Thai chile into the sauce rather than leaving it whole as I now suspect the instructions intended. Will try the banana pachadi as soon as I have a chance to buy some curry leaves. I see a trip to Kalustyan's in the next couple of days.
re: blue room
I used 2% Fage for this and would do the same again. Agree with you that full-fat would probably be best. Just couldn't bring myself to go all the way.
re: buttertart
Terrific. And just in time. Heading down tomorrow morning. Thanks.
Stir-Fried Shrimp, Kerala Style ( page 272)
Perhaps it was because my expectations were fairly low (I made this because I had the ingredients), but I thought this was outstanding. I'm not even all that fond of coconut, at least I thought I wasn't; but I liked this a great deal. They say the dish is dry and should be served with a pachadi. I had intended to do that, but ran out of time and inclination when dinner prep was interrupted by a long phone call. Didn't matter. The shrimp alone, with plain brown jasmine rice, was full of flavor with just a touch of heat. This is definitely being added to the do-it-again list.
I made half the recipe and that would have served two generously. A crumbly paste is made from unsweetened coconut, garlic, crushed red pepper, and .turmeric. Mustard seed, urad dal, raw rice, and curry leaves are stirred briefly in hot oil before minced ginger, onion, and green chile are added and cooked until the onion is softened. That's kept warm while you stir-fry the reserved coconut paste, add the shrimp and a hint of rice vinegar and steam for a bit, then stir-fry again before combining the shrimp and onion mixtures, adding a touch of cayenne and black pepper, and just stirring to combine before serving.
I've been skeptical about this book. Looked at the recipe titles on EYB while it was being nominated and found it more appealing than I'd expected. When I finally sat down with the hard copy, I thought maybe I'd made a mistake. There weren't all that many recipes I found compelling. But once I started making some dishes, chosen mainly because the ingredients were already on hand, I realized I'd underestimated this book. Three recipes, three successes. Looking forward, now, to delving deeper.
re: JoanN
This dish looks lovely, I was drawn to the recipe, even more so after reading your review. I haven't been able to find curry leaves (basically, ever, so I don't even know what they taste like). Inability to find ingredients (coupled with time constraints) has kept me relatively inactive in COTM this month. Do you have any idea how much they add to the dish? Do you think it would work without them? I know there is no real substitute, but do you think something like basil could work?
re: L.Nightshade
There was so much flavor in that dish that I can't honestly say the curry leaves were discernible. At least, not to my palate. I didn't have the curry leaves when I made the Spicy Yogurt Sauce above. I looked online to see what might be substituted and discovered, as you say, that there really isn't one. I saw suggestions for both basil and Kaffir lime leaves, and thought the lime leaves would have worked well with the other flavors in the Yogurt Sauce, but I didn't have any of those on hand either.
For this dish, I'd just leave it out. There's very little of it in there to begin with and I'm not at all sure basil would work with the flavor profile. I think you'll be very happy with the recipe without the curry leaves and would be unaware that something was missing if you weren't the one doing the cooking.
re: buttertart
The Stir-Fried Shrimp recipe calls for just "a pinch," so that's what I used and may well be why I was unaware of it--especially among the mustard seed, turmeric, garlic, ginger, and chile. Will make a note to add more next time and see if I notice the difference.
re: buttertart
Yeah, "A pinch of fresh or dried curry leaves." And tell me. How do measure a pinch of fresh curry leaves?
re: buttertart
Exactly the reason I hesitated buying this book sight unseen. But I've certainly enjoyed what I've made so far.
re: JoanN
smidgen = about 1/32 tspn (insignificent but missed if not used)
pinch = 1/16 tspn - or - that which can be picked up between thumb & forefinger
dash = 1/8 tspn
re: Allegra_K
However many leaves you can pick up between your thumb and forefinger and that could be many!
re: JoanN
Thanks to both of you for weighing in on this question. I'll probably try it soon, just leaving them out. I hit a couple more stores today in search, but still no luck. That "toasty but otherwise indescribable taste" description definitely has me intrigued. I'll be on the lookout next time I am in a bigger city. I hear they do freeze well.
re: L.Nightshade
They do, I buy a couple of bags of them and they keep for a long time frozen.
re: L.Nightshade
Curry leaves definitely add a nice touch to a dish. I make tomato side dish with curry leaves that I like very much. Nightshade, ask an Indian restaurant in your city when they get curry leaves - they might point you to a source or sell you some.
Gobindavog Rice pg. 240
For a while now our preferred rice from the sub-continent has been a very tiny grained rice labeled "Kalizira" or "Kalizera" or "Kalijira", I had no idea it could also be called "Gobindavog".
And I'd never cooked it using the boil and drain method until last night. Wow, talk about perfect fluffy rice, and scrumptious & easy too.
Rinse the rice in a sieve, bring water at a ratio of 5x the rice volume to a vigorous boil, add the rice, boil uncovered for 6-7 minutes (start testing for doness around the 5 min mark), when tender through, drain the hot rice, put it the drained rice back in the pot, cover with a damp towel, and the pot lid, let rest for 15 minutes or so. Stir with a paddle, serve. Honestly the most perfect fluffy rice I've ever made. Now if I could just find "Gobindavog" or "Kalizira" in a brown or semi-polished state we'd be eating this a lot.

Gallery: Davis Brody Bond Wins Competition to Design Sustainable St. El...
The north and south oriented plaza in front of St. Elizabeth's Hospital is currently underutilized and fenced-off to the public. Davis Brody Bond's design will transform the space into a useful multi-purpose park that will provide a venue for casual dining, a farmers' market and other weekend and after-hours community, cultural and arts events. St. Elizabeth's Gateway Pavilion is characterized by angular volumes and a green-roofed covered pavilion. Visitors and Employees of the hospital can approach the plaza from three distinct ways and the Plaza will be an iconic structure visible from many vantage points. At its highest point, the Pavilion is 22-feet high and will serve as the central point for many activities.
The plaza has been designed with sustainability and environmental responsibility as a driving goal. Rainwater will be harvested and stored in underground cisterns capable of supplying irrigation and water for restrooms. Photovoltaic panels, biodiesel and composting will help take the facility virtually off the grid. Additionally, the project will make use of recycled or renewable materials such as canvas, burlap, "grasscrete," and reclaimed wood. No word yet on when the project will commence or when it is expected to be complete, but we're certain this will be an important project for the community of Ward 8 and employees of the hospital.

Hi All,
I have never welded anything before and I'm looking to jump in as a hobby to get me through the winter. I'm looking to build a hunting tree stand and have seen some cool ideas on the forums. Basically, I'm looking for info on what I would need in terms of the best welder and equipment to start messing around. Looking to spend less than $400. Also, what type of materials should I get to construct the stands out of and where would be a good place to buy such materials? I understand that it probably will take me quite some time to get good enough to actually make anything worth while, as I mentioned I'm just looking for a hobby. Please feel free to throw in any other info you think I may find helpful.
Appreciate all the help I can get.

Start with something that won't injure/kill you if it fails in use. Like a deer feeder or ATV cart.
I've built a few stands, one was a tree-mounted unit which worked for several years until corrosion compromised it and we cut it down. Such is the problem, make it light with thin walled square tube and it will corrode fast. Or make it heavy and installation is a bear.
$400? That is tough, only simple stick welders are in that range and welding thin stuff is tricky. Can be done with perfect fitting and lots of practice.

Cost is your restriction by far here. But I first recomend looking at craiglist, a good deal can be had if you spend a little time researching what you find. Do you have any safety gear mostly a helmet and or gloves. if not i recomend tractor supply they carry hobart and have a packaged deal of gloves and helmet.
And just as Keith stated you'll be looking at either a stick welder or a flux core. Both throw alot of heat. I think the flux core would be easier for you work with being that your new to welding. You can pick up a crummy flux core through harbor freight for 200 bucks but like i said its crummy. It'll get the job done if your not looking to make a living with the thing. I hope this reply helps you.

yep! what was just posted, is your best advice, harbor freight is having a black friday sale, they also sell sawzalls for very short money, do you have a harbor freight retail store close to you, you can get alot of tools for 400 bucks there, as far as steel, your local hardware or box store can supply you, granted its terribly expensive compared to the local supplier but you can buy just what you need in small quantities.

There is good advice to be had here
Thought I'd chime in here since I am still somewhat of a newbie myself.
About 4 years ago I picked up a Harbor Freight Mig and not only did it get me started, it got me hooked! I just sold that Mig a couple of days ago due to finding a smoking deal on an older Millermatic 200 and there really is a world of difference between the two. But just as was stated, the HF will get you started and can definitely stick two pieces of metal together.
$400.00 will get you out the door with everything you need to start short of the steel you want to use. One thing I can tell you about those welders is that you will want to upgrade the work clamp, you'll see what I'm talking about when you open the box.
BTW, when I said I am hooked, I now have the Miller, an AC/DC stick, a Lincoln Ranger 250 welder generator (wanted an emergency generator and got both for less than the price of either) and just picked up a Tig torch that I will be incorporating into my hobby soon.
In any case, good luck with your new hobby and if you are anything like me, you will be looking for anything metal to melt together in no time!

Congrats on the MM200... it is a true classic.. you will forever find me singing it's praises.... I keep mine and use it regularly... even after getting a MM350P w/25ft Alumapro ...... this is not a cut on the 350P, it is a phenomenal machine.... but rather an endorsement of the strengths of the MM200 after all these years...

Hold out for a good used one
since you are asking for advice i will give you mine .a hobbyist myself i am on my second welder as of a few months ago they have both been Millers (the best in my opinion ) i bought both of them used the one i currently have a MM 252 was almost brand new when i got it "very little use " got it off craigslist for about an $800.00 discount of what a brand new one would cost . i don't recommend getting a HF welder yes they will stick things together but anyone who has ever had one i have noticed usually always ends up getting rid of it and replaces it with one of the brand name welders and you never hear them say "i sure wish i had my old one back" instead they say" i can't believe how much better this thing welds " you will know what i am talking about once you learn more .so save yourself allot of heartache and try to find a good used Miller,Lincoln or Hobart ,they are out there you just have to be patient . i always see allot of Lincoln 110 v units on CL in your price range usually with all the accessories . and one thing i rarely ever see any one mention is resale value any one that knows welders will rarely buy a used HF migwelder there is a reason why .i had a MM35 that was about 22 yrs. old that i learned how to weld with and used for about 5 yrs . and sold it for what i gave for it and got many calls on it "i wish i had 5 more of them to sell " so hold out for a good used one . when you do finally get your feet wet in this hobby you are going to want to do bigger and better things so keep all this in mind.let us know what you get . good luck CHRIS
Side note... I got a MM350p with the 25ft Alumapro whip also. Awesome machine! It welds military armor plate on pulse like a dream

Already sourced some parts to build an HF starter for my AC/DC buzz box.
One thing is for sure, the MM200 aint going anywhere unless I'm taking it and bringing it back. Got a replacement gun for when the original goes south and taking real good care of it.
I'll be posting some pictures of the welding / fabrication table I have already built as well as a little project I am currently building for a friend.OhioDave

sounds like a MIG welder is a good place to start out.. on your budget I would scan the CL ads.. there are a lot of good deals out there if you take your time and really look and study....As a general rule I would stay away from 110volt welders, the majority of them have limited usefullness other than as a doorstop. I would look for a quality used 220volt machine, rather than a new low end machine.... Remember to factor in a decent autodark helmet into your expendature calculations.. ya gotta protect your eyes.. AND be able to see what you are welding..
on the subject of it taking time to get good enough... you are right... please make sure your skills are up to it and not be "practicing" when you build your tree stand... pretty easy to break your neck and get killed if welds fail and said stand and hunter fall from the tree..
Miller has a lot of info in the resources section that will speed your learning curve.. Take plenty of time to read and study the material.. the more you know and understand, the better decision that you will make in your purchase and use of a welder..
On the subject of tree stands here is an interesting thread that you may find useful..
you will get lots of advice, some conflicting.. use commpn sense and good judgement.. free advice is worth what you pay for it..

Why the Church Needs Multiple Theories of Original Sin
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
God's Extravagant Love in Creation

The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.

Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
