As you might have guessed, it was another seitan meal tonight as we work through the batch I made on the weekend. But, chickpeas are also very good in this pot pie.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening
- 5-6 tbsp ice cold water
1. Mix together flour and salt in a large bowl.
2. Cut in shortening with two knives, or pastry cutter.
3. Stir in enough water with a fork for the pastry to come together in a ball.
4. Roll out on a floured surface in a shape that fits your baking dish.
- 1 tbsp oil
- one onion, diced
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups of cubed seitan (or one can of chickpeas, rinsed)
- water
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1-2 tbsp flour or cornstarch
- 2+ tbsp vegan "chicken" broth powder
1. Saute onion and celery in a saucepan. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Add carrots and potatoes, and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are soft (15-20 mins).
3. Add seitan (or chickpeas), corn, and peas.
4. Mix flour or cornstarch in a few tbsp of water and add to veggie mix. Cook until mixture thickens. Add more if still too thin. Add broth powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Pour into glass or Corningware dish (9x13 or so). Roll out crust while mixture cools. Put crust on top of veggie mixture, and cut a few slits in the crust to allow steam to escape. Bake for 40-60 minutes, until crust browns.
The kids loved and asked for seconds. Mmmmm . . . comfort food.

This was so so so sooooooooo good. I made it for my family one night recently and we were amazed at how real it tasted in comparison to the real chicken pot pit we used to eat many many years ago before going vegan. I loved it thanks so much for posting the recipe :)

This recipe was recommended to me by my Vegan daughter. I am choosing to follow her example...and drag the other 2 (meat-eaters) that live in the house with me along! I am excited to try this with the chickpeas. No attempt to sugar-coat or hide what I'm doing would be successful with hubby and dd#5!

mmm...this was so good! I made this tonight for my meat-eating boyfriend and he loved it too! I used a veggie gravy packet instead of the broth powder and added vegetable broth instead of water while cooking the veggies. I also used the Quorn "chicken" (the one from the bag). It came out really, really well! Thanks!

I made this tonight and it was super good! I'm terrible with crusts like this (tonight was no exception...sticky mess but tasted great) but it all worked in the end! I used carrots, potatoes, corn, asparagus, onion, mushrooms and peas.
Thanks for another great one!

Just a report back that I did, indeed, make this--for company, no less! Everyone loved it, and since it was presented as a 'meatless meal' and at the price of meat, all guests thought I was brilliant! LOL

I made this a few months back and my 4 boys absolutely loved it. My oldest (7) has been requesting it again lately so I'm making it for dinner tonight. Thanks for a great recipe!
I use chickpeas rather than seitan and it's amazing.

According to my 7 year old, this is a staple dish. He's been requesting it again, for a week, so I made it tonight. For about the fifth time. It's still a winner with my 4 boys.
I've messed with the ingredients each time - sometimes making the sauce richer, sometimes adding another vegetable I have in the fridge (mushrooms were good in it) - and I'm fairly certain there are a billion variations on this and they'd all taste great.

I made this for dinner with chickpeas for my husband and his vegan cousin tonight. I halved the recipe (because I didn't want any leftovers since my fridge will be full tomorrow with Thanksgiving food) and they ate every bite. (They did go on a 40 mile bike ride today, so they weren't just gluttonous.) But it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe. This is a definite keeper!

I made this for myself (and anyone else who wanted to try it) for Thanksgiving back in November to take to a non vegan (I'm the only vegan/vegetarian, although my mom made a couple dishes vegan for me.) dinner. I'm still thinking about it. It was that good. I think I might try to make it again tonight.
Your recipes are delicious! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing! I made individual pot pies in ramekins, covered in the crust. A girlfriend actually did it first and then linked me here for the recipe. My two teens absolutely loved them.
This is hands-down the best pot pie I have ever had.
Thank you!!

So what I wonder about is preaty simple - having in mind next architecture:
-> computing unit "A"
gateway --> computing unit "B" same as A
-> computing unit "C" same as A
We do not care to which unit to forward request so we should forward them one by one to A than to B than to C and than to A, etc.
I wonder in what language, using what framework it is possible to create such crossplatform TCP proxy/gateway (not ethernet card dependent) that would redirect incoming requests into internal nodes via simple rool, and would be capable to get as much as possible from ethernet cable load in/out capabilety - receive and send as much as possible?
I started to wonder after I read this nice 2003 article...


text:
As a result of the current financial climate, politicians, experts, and everyday citizens have been clamoring for an overhaul of the nation's economic regulatory system.
Harvey J. Goldschmid, Columbia Law School's Dwight Professor of Law and a former general counsel of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is one such expert calling for change. He advocates the creation of a systemic risk agency, separate from existing regulatory bodies, that will have far-reaching authority in the financial sector.
"We need one centralized regulator that can pull together information on what's going on [in the economy] and then have the power to do things about it," he said in a recent interview at the Law School.
To illustrate his point, Goldschmid cited the disastrous effects of credit default swaps. The frequency and irresponsibility with which many of these swaps were issued degraded their original purpose and forced banks to suffer dramatic losses, Goldschmid said. If someone had noticed, that could have mitigated the problem.
The ideal composition of such a systemic risk agency is very complicated, Goldschmid added. Although some talk about instilling such authority in the Federal Reserve, he is not certain that is the best idea. "Giving them this new systemic risk authority puts too much responsibility in one place," Goldschmid said. "I think a new kind of council or institution, perhaps growing out of something called the President's Financial Working Group, would be the answer to the 'who' issue." The financial working group is comprised of the Treasury secretary, as well as the chairmen of the Federal Reserve, the SEC, and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
In addition to a core group of key financial players, a systemic risk agency would also need the capacity to contain troublesome situations, Goldschmid said. "Some ability to wind things up at a stage where the financial institution is in trouble but not yet gone, not yet in bankruptcy, would be very helpful, and Tim Geithner, the secretary of the Treasury, has pointed in that direction."

The Senate voted on Tuesday to authorize a sales tax holiday to be held on Aug. 9 and 10. Throughout the holiday weekend, the 6.25 percent sales tax will not be applied to certain purchases up to $2,500.
The holiday will save Massachusetts consumers nearly $25 million, according to State Sen. Richard Ross, R-Wrentham.
"The sales tax holiday always provides an incredible relief to our hardworking taxpayers in the summer months," said Sen. Ross. "I'm glad the Senate was able to pass this amendment to drive economic growth, stimulate small businesses, and especially help Massachusetts consumers."
The sales tax holiday does not apply to certain purchases, including restaurant meals, tobacco, telecommunications, gas, steam, electricity, motor vehicles or boats.
Sen. Ross additionally joined with the Senate in passing legislation on Tuesday to promote economic development and provide incentives to create jobs and stimulate the commonwealth's economy.
The Senate bill and the House bill, passed June 11, will now go to a conference committee to produce a compromise bill for final passage and consideration of Gov. Deval Patrick.

Today I was asked this question during an interview:
What will happen if we do not override the
hashcodemethod for our class, then add it to
HashTableand then try to get objects?
What could go wrong?
Today I was asked this question during an interview:
What could go wrong?
The idea with a
With default
In general, you want to make sure of two things when implementing hash codes:
It depends on what "adding to HashTable" means. Java's Hashtable doesn't have any
The interviewer probably meant that the key object's hashcode wouldn't be overridden. Only then the object identity issues, as pointed out in other answers, come into play. Even then, you don't necessarily have to override the key's hashcode. For example, if you use
If the question really was exactly what you wrote, I would have teased the interviewer with these questions. A good programmer doesn't assume that the interviewer probably meant this or that. He asks instead.
The answer is "nothing bad unless you have overridden
The general point is that if two objects compare equal i.e. if
then they must have the same hashcode i.e.
also if two objects have different hash codes, they must not compare equal.
This is especially relevant when you put objects in a hash table. This is because a hash table is an array of lists (called buckets usually). The hash bucket is indexed using the hash code, typically you use
So when you put an object in the hash table, you take the hash code of the key and use it to determine the bucket. You then put a key-value pair in the bucket. When you want to retrieve an object from the hash table, you take the hash code of the key to find the bucket and test the key of all the key-value pairs in the bucket with
So if you have two key objects which compare equal but have different hash codes and you use one as a key in a hash table, you won't be able to search for it using the other key object because you'll be looking in the wrong bucket.
The implementation of
you won't find your object if you get with a different object that is
or to give an example:
the reason for this is that HashTable (and HashMap) will use the hashcode to limit the space it has to search through to find the object and that relies on the assumption that if
I would only add, that all of these concepts have to with identity and comparison.
There is a contract with hash code:
1.) Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
2.) If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
3.) It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.
The upshot is that if the hash codes are the same the entries in the table overwrite each other and that could be surprising to some...
Hope this helps.
The answer is: similar objects (all fields having equal values) would not create the same hash code, so you would need exactly the same (identical) object that was used for
Assuming your class extends only
This means that you will most likely not find the object again in the Map (you might find it by chance, however).
If the hashcode method is not overridden, the answer to this question really depends on if the same key object which was used to
a) If the same key object is used -
b) If some another "equivelent" key object is used - Since possibly the hashcode is going to be different due to default implementation of the hashcode method in

|Star Trek: Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise
|Writers :

|Editions :
|There is a single edition.
Alas, the book is a little lacking in accuracy. Johnson didn't have the advantage that Sternbach and Okuda had of working for the show, so he had to extrapolate some of the technology. Some of this has become badly dated - he fits the Enterprise-A with a transwarp drive, which made sense at the time of Star Trek III/IV but doesn't now.
Despite the flaws, though, this is still an entertaining read. Not to be on the "must have" list, but these are available very cheap nowdays and are well worth having..

I have a very limited understanding of D&D concepts. How does weapon damage work in Baldur's gate?
Baldur's gate I & II use a modified AD&D 2nd edition, if I'm not mistaken.
The damage itself is expressed in dice, so e.g. 1D6 means you throw one six-sided die and count the sum of it. 2D8 means you throw two eight-sided dice and count the sum of the two dice. The damage gets subtracted from the hitpoints of your enemy.
Armor class (AC) defines the probability of getting hit. The attacker throws a D20 and if the value is lower than your AC you are hit, else the attacker misses. Certain bonuses apply to attacker and defender. You have to pay attention to your THAC0, which tells you what you have to throw to hit an enemy with an AC of 0.
Damage type also matters with certain armors having more or less protection vs certain types or are immune to some types of damage outright. This will normally be listed in the weapon description. Extra armor penalties/bonuses are listed in the character sheet near the bottom, or in the armor's description if you're playing in one of the Enhanced Edition games.
Damage is expressed in terms of thrown dice.
Formula for attacking:
A d20 die is thrown, and the value must be greater than or equal to the attacker's attack roll value. The roll auto fails on 1, and criticals on 20. Let's say, for example, I'm the Slayer, and I have a THAC0 of 1; I attack a creature with an armour class of -10; My attack roll would now be 11 (50% chance to hit).
Here are some details. To damage, you must hit. To hit, you must understand THAC0 (To Hit Armor Class 0).
THAC0 is a value defined by your class (fighters have a lower THAC0 than mages).
When you attack, you throw a d20 and you subtract the value from your THAC0 to find the minimum AC value you hit.
Example: my fighter has a THAC0 of 16. If I throw a 16 on my d20, I would hit anything from AC 0 going up (remember, in AD&D 2nd Edition the lower the AC the better).
If I roll a 20, then I could hit an AC of -4.
After this, the damages work as answered in Fabian's post, with dice and strength modifiers. Also, some magic weapons have damage and THAC0 bonuses.

In this question I was asking about 曾经 and one answer says it means 'already'.
- What's the difference between 曾经 and 已经?
- Do the two sentences below have the same meaning?
In this question I was asking about 曾经 and one answer says it means 'already'.
I think it could be close to the fact to say "曾经(once)" is used in the past tense, while "已经(already)" is used in the perfect(past, present, or future, it doesn't matter) tense, that's why "了" is often used with it..
So when you are using the present perfect tense or future perfect tense, only 已经 can be used. For example(where 曾经 can't be used):
How about the past(past perfect) tense? As you may have learned in English. the past perfect tense implies that the fact the sentence is talking about is related to or affect the status quo, and the past tense just states a fact. That's true to "已经" and "曾经". ALso, 曾经 could implies that the fact doesn't last till now(see my answer to a related question "What's the role of 曾经 in this sentence?") .For your examples:
Some other examples.
Let me show a conversation here. A policeman is investigating a case, and he is looking for a witness. He finds you and asks you some quesstions. You say,
Simply put, 曾经 indicates past tense while 已经 indicates perfect tense.
In other words, 曾经 means once while 已经 means already.
BIG difference ;)

It is never wrong to downvote.
If the OP has a fair amount of rep then I tend to downvote - they should really know better. Having lots of questions that are the same is not awesome so the question is not awesome - it is very bad.
If they are a new user, I will probably just vote to close and add comment hinting that they maybe should have spent a few minutes searching etc.
However, if the question is a question that has been repeated many times over and it's pretty obvious the OP didn't bother searching at all then it's an immediate downvote from me.
Just my 2¢
I don't think it's wrong. I've done it myself a few times, usually only when a high-Rep user (10k or above) answers a question that is pretty clearly out of bounds.
Note that when you hover over the downvote arrow it says "This answer is not useful", and an answer from a high-ranking site user on a nuke-worthy question is just that: not useful. In my opinion, it sends the wrong message to other users on the site, because it is a tacit approval of the inappropriate question from an experienced user. In short, it sets a bad example, and usually I'll leave a comment when I downvote saying as such.
However, it should be noted that it can be easy to accidentally answer a duplicate without realizing. I probably wouldn't downvote for that, unless it is such an obvious many-times-over duplicate that they should have been able to find one with a trivial search. Not all duplicates are easy to find. I usually reserve this kind of "you should know better" downvoting for really off-topic or totally subjective poll questions.
I typically don't down-vote the answers because many times the one answering the question does not realize it is a duplicate or it is arguably an edge case type question. They get more slack because they are less responsible for searching than the Asker.
If it is a super awful question, I might down vote. I don't think it is wrong either way.

June 17, 2009 -- Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Norcross, Ga., is recalling all lots of its dietary supplement Stamina-Rx because it contains an unapproved drug, benzamidenafil, which may pose health risks.
Benzamidenafil, which isn't noted on the Stamina-Rx label and it isn't approved by the FDA, belongs to the same class of drugs as the active ingredients in the erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
"Benzamidenafil is not FDA-approved, and poses a threat to consumers because benzamidenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates and may be most susceptible to adverse effects from this product," states a Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals news release posted on the FDA's web site.
FDA tests showed benzamidenafil in one lot of Stamina-Rx, but all lots of the product are being recalled because it is "an unapproved and misbranded drug," states Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals. The company notes that Stamina-Rx is mainly sold in health food and drug stores nationwide.
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals advises consumers to stop using Stamina-Rx immediately and report any adverse effects to the company by calling 888-855-7919 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time; consumers may also contact the FDA's MedWatch program in any of the following ways:
- Online: Visit the FDA MedWatch web site
- Phone: Call 800-FDA-1088
- Fax: Download FDA form 3500 and fax it to 800-FDA-0178
- Mail: Download FDA form 3500 and mail it to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20853-9787

Apply for Veterans Benefits
New students who have never received VA benefits
To receive VA benefits at Guilford, you must:
Transfer students who have used benefits before at another institution
To receive VA benefits at Guilford, you must:
Vocational Rehabilitation students
Forms can be emailed, mailed, or faxed to the Office of the Registrar's VA Certifying Official.

Course Applicability: Only courses that satisfy requirements (see your degree evaluation on BannerWeb) can be certified for VA purposes. If you take a course that does not satisfy a program requirement, it cannot be certified for VA purposes. Excessive free electives, for example, cannot be certified. Veteran Affairs does not allow payment for audited courses, courses for which transfer credit has been granted, and courses previously passed with a "D" or better (unless a better grade is required by your major for graduation). Courses that are credit/no credit graded (for example, PHYE 100 Physical Activity courses) can be certified for VA benefits only if the student is eligible for elective credit towards their current program of study. Professional development workshops and courses taken for personal interest are not authorized for certification of VA education benefits.
Fast Track Courses: Fast track courses affect full-time status. For example, a VA student who registers for one full-term course, one fast track I course and one fast track II course will NOT be considered a full-time student by the VA. You must register for 12 credits and all courses must be full-term in order to receive the full-time benefit rate for the entire semester.
Training Time: Full benefits will be paid for 12 or more credit hours, ¾ time for nine - 11 credit hours, ½ time for six - eight credit hours, less than ½ time for four - five credit hours during normal fall and spring sessions. For one five-week summer session, four credit hours are considered full-time and for the ten-week summer session, seven credit hours are considered full-time. Payment rates are available on the VA website.
Post 9/11 GI Bill® and Rate of Pursuit: VA prorates housing allowance by rate of pursuit. Meaning, you must be registered for at least seven credits during the normal fall and spring terms to be eligible for the basic housing allowance. In order to receive the full basic housing allowance, you must be registered for 12 credits (three full-term courses). For one five-week summer session, four credits are considered full-time. For the ten-week summer session, seven credits are considered full-time. If you are not eligible for the 100% tier, housing payment is also prorated by tier.
Post 9/11 GI Bill® and Reduction in Credit Hours: An individual who withdraws from one or more courses will be charged an overpayment equal to the amount of ALL tuition and fees, basic housing allowance, and Yellow Ribbon, if applicable, for that period of enrollment. According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, all reductions in credit hours (regardless of when they occur) are student debts. Any overage of funds on a student's account due to a withdrawal from a course(s) will be refunded to the student in accordance with Guilford's established refund policies. The student (not Guilford College) will be responsible for repaying VA.
Payments: VA no longer pays for breaks between semesters; meaning, expect a prorated payment for the first and last months of the term. Also, it is important to note that because of the January term, the spring term now has a later start date which creates a significant break between fall and spring semesters.
For Post 9/11 GI Bill® students, tuition/ fees, and book stipend awards are scheduled 14 days prior to the start of the term. If you register for a fast track II course, VA will not send payment for tuition/ fees and books until later in the semester even though both sessions are certified at the beginning of the term.
Generally, Post 9/11 GI Bill® and Ch. 35 Survivors/Dependent students are paid the monthly allowance directly, at the beginning of each month for the previous month. Ch. 30, 1606, and 1607 students receive payment within two weeks of verifying enrollment at the end of the month.
Grades: Please be aware that final grades can affect eligibility for benefits. Receiving a "W" grade may cause a large overpayment with the VA. "F" grades due to a lack of attendance will be reported to the VA and could also cause a large overpayment with the VA. Students must earn an overall 2.0 GPA each term to remain in good standing with the VA. Guilford is required to report a termination of benefits if an individual goes on academic suspension or dismissal. A termination of benefits will also result if there are two consecutive terms of GPA below 2.0.
Yellow Ribbon: Guilford is a Yellow Ribbon School. We have entered into an agreement with VA to fund up to 50 percent of the established charges not already covered under chapter 33. VA will match each additional dollar funded by the school. The combined amounts may not exceed the full cost of the school's established charges. Only individuals entitled to the 100 percent benefit rate (based on service requirements) may receive this funding. Transfer of Entitlement spouses, when the transferor, service member is on active duty, are not eligible for the Yellow Ribbon program.For Guilford Post 9/11 GI Bill® students, VA will pay up to $21,084.89 per year for tuition and mandatory fees. Once the $21,084.89 cap is exhausted, the Yellow Ribbon contributions can be applied.
For more information: If have you questions regarding how to start up your Veterans Benefits at Guilford College, please contact Ashley Dilger, VA Certifying Official, at 336.316.2102 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Department of Veteran Affairs administers all benefit programs. If you need additional assistance, please call VA's toll-free number 1.888.442.4551 to speak with a Veterans Benefits Counselor.

The first bike rack and bicycles for Nebraska City's "city bike" program were placed on Central Avenue for the Easter weekend.
A bike rack was placed near the northeast bumpout at Central Avenue and 11th Street Thursday night.
Alma Breckenridge put out two used bicycles for free use.
She said riders are expected to have their own helmets, but the city bike program expects to have some helmets available at city hall.
The bikes placed include a Schwinn classic with front basket and a Schwinn 10-speed with a rear rack.
There was at least one rider on Friday morning. A cyclist took the 10-speed from 11th Street to the Nebraska City Museum of Firefighting and then returned the bicycle.
The city bike program is intended to provide unlocked, free bicycles for people to ride and return.
Multiple sites for bike racks are planned, but the first three sites will be at city hall, the Sixth Street parking lot and the 11th and Central location.

Frédéric Malle: A Nose for Business
Frédéric Malle grew up in Paris's fashionable 7th arrondissement on rue de Courty, where his bedroom was formerly the bedroom of master perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain. His grandfather, Serge Heftler-Louiche, founded Parfums Christian Dior, CDI -0.03 % and his mother, as art director of the fashion house's perfumery, played a hand in the creation of Dior's legendary men's fragrance, "Eau Savage." With this kind of heritage, it would be reasonable to presuppose that Malle might have something of an interest in perfume. But even his grandfather might not have expected that Malle would, in the 12 short years he has been in business, stand the fragrance world on its head.
Malle created his company in 2000 after a career as a fragrance consultant (he was trained at the perfume laboratory Roure Bertrand Dupont). From its inception, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle has been dedicated to working with the world's best perfumers, offering them financial and creative freedom to construct their fragrances.
Malle opened his first store in Paris at 37 rue du Grenelle with nine perfumes, among them the first commercially produced version of Edmond Roudnitska's "Parfum de Thérèse," "Musc Ravageur" by Maurice Roucel and "Vétiver Extraordinaire" by Dominique Ropion—all regarded as modern classics.
Three great crimes of fragrance
1. Creating a fragrance for the image
rather than the individual.
2. Trying to please everyone—when you sell something this personal you simply can't expect universal approval.
3. Those individuals who create the fragrances which permeate New York taxis. For this I would bring back the guillotine.
Unlike most fragrance companies, there are no blockbuster advertising campaigns, no department store spritzings and, even in Malle's four stand-alone shops, no overt bazaar-like displays of the scents. Instead, his glass-bottled fragrances sit somberly to attention in refrigerated cabinets, black stoppers and white labels front and center. Black-and-white portraits of the perfumers, or what Malle calls his perfume authors, adorn the walls. And unique fragrance chambers that Malle designed himself (think "Beam me up") suck out a fragrance after a customer has "experienced" it, thus eradicating the risk of olfactory overload. (You can fill in a questionnaire at fredericmalle.com to determine the fragrance that would suit you best.)
When I ask Malle if he agrees that his stores can be a little intimidating, in the manner of specialty jewelry boutiques, he is, he says, offended. "I have never heard that before," he says. "I have recreated my home in these stores." Oh dear. His mission, he says, is not to patronize. "I want people to feel at ease and uninhibited," he adds.
Malle has a high-profile cult following. He is far too discreet to name names, but given that Uma Thurman and her partner, financier Arpad Busson, co-hosted the Barneys New York book-signing for "Frédéric Malle on Perfume Making" (foreword by Catherine Deneuve) in 2011, it is safe to assume that they are all no less than stellar.
When I set up my new company, XXX par Frédéric Malle, I was interested in the idea of a ménage à trois. When I say that, what I really mean is that I thought it would be a great idea to create fragrances for people who are famous because they are interesting rather than the converse, which is the case with celebrity fragrance. [The first of his new fragrances will be released on Feb. 20.]
If [former Fiat boss Gianni] Agnelli were alive, I would love to have created a fragrance for him. He had such a face, such style and such history that one could imagine the perfect smell for him.
We have a private joke in our business that we have beautiful trash. In other words, no matter how beautiful the fragrance we have created, we trash it unless it works for the time and place. Sometimes these things have taken years of work. Ultimately, one has to be ruthless to get it just right.
Some fragrances are like an ancient ornate, exquisite dress—perfect in a particular place at a particular time, but if worn today they would seem totally wrong.
Fragrance is ultimately about seduction. When I was 8 years old, I heard my mother say "That's a sexy fragrance." I didn't know what sex was then, but by the time I was 15, I was figuring it all out. I understood the basic principle, which I still apply when I'm creating a fragrance: would I want to sleep with a woman who is wearing this scent?
I don't use the sexy fragrances for the candles we sell in our home collection. You know why? I want a comfy room, not a sexy room.
I never spend money for the sake of spending money—none of my fragrances are the same price. And I will use whatever it takes to get the scent right: synthetic, non-synthetic, cheap or expensive, it doesn't matter. The ends justify the means.
Fragrance is like home décor. If you have little money but lots of talent, you can make a very pretty room; conversely, even with limitless means, you will never make a great fragrance without a great artist attached to it.
We have a duty to the planet as perfumers, even though no fragrance pollutes as much as an empty plastic water bottle or a car. That said, I deplore political correctness for its own sake. Parabens, for example, have been banned and replaced with other constituents that we don't know enough about. I cannot sell my hair fragrance over here [in Europe] because it has 5% fragrance in it. In fact, women have been spraying fragrance into their hair for years at 25% concentration, so that's just insane.
'A great fragrance is not good on its own. It has to be worn by the right person.'
Most of the great noses are still men, it's true. I believe this relates back to the idea that fragrance is all about sex. Part of our job is to create something that generates the excitement of other men.
I wanted my stores to have a sense of luxury about them, which is why they don't look like stores. It irritates me that stores condescend to customers and don't treat them like adults. This is not "Downton Abbey" and we are not merchants.
It is possible to create a great mass-market fragrance. Dolce & Gabbana's "Light Blue" is that exactly.
A great fragrance is not good on its own. It has to be worn by the right person. A fragrance is always a collaboration between the wearer and the scent.
Often the big brands put people in charge of perfume who are used to selling diapers, cat food and deodorant. How can you expect these people to be fragrance experts? A great fragrance needs a good perfumer and a courageous marketer.

I eat at a lot of Chinese restaurants now and also while growing up. I often wondered how is it that the chicken, pork, and beef in dishes are always so tender. I can never replicate it when I cook. What do the Chinese chefs use to tenderize their meat?
One technique, but not the only, is velveting. Here the meat is tenderized in an egg-white/cornstarch mixture for 20+ minutes, then cooked briefly (a minute) in oil or simmering water with a small amount of oil prior to using in stir fries.
I've never velveted in straight oil but water/oil definitely gives the chicken that smoothness that Chinese Restaurants obtain and the shorter stir fry cooking time makes it much more tender.
Super thin slicing (you'll need to cut the meat semi-frozen to get such thin slices), plus cutting across the grain also lead to tenderness.
Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate).
If you find the meat has a spongy texture aside from being very tender, then very likely the restaurant put baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) in the marinade. The sodium in baking soda chemically reacts with the meat and make the meat very tender and soft.
Below is an except from the cooking section in Sodium bicarbonate (Wikipedia):
Personally I found the meat too soft and would prefer if they can just marinate in oyster sauce or soy sauce with some oil - acids also has a tenderizing effect on meat, although not to the extend of baking soda.
I believe it is their suppliers rather than their techniques which are decisive. You may not want to know what 'restaurant quality' pre-portioned meat-units look like.
In order to be tender and juicy, a great deal of added water is bound into the product with dubious adulterants -ah, additives. This is all generally legal and safe.
Some exceptions: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/chicken-injected-with-beef-waste-sold-in-uk-1696407.html
How the animal is raised makes a big difference: here in Beijing hormones are routinely added to pig-feed to fatten up an animal quickly without it over-developing muscles.
So, if you really want to know why their meat is so tender, ask for the names of their suppliers or, better yet, some of the packaging to investigate for yourself.
Here is my "a-bit-late" stab at the answer.
Besides velveting the meat prior cooking, the meat in restaurants may be marinated with chemical meat tenderizers. The active ingredients are usually papain or bromelain, which are enzymes extracted from fruits.
Marinate the meat with pureed fresh ginger in your marinade. It will make it fall apart if allowed to sit for a few hours in the fridge. Corn starch slurries are just so you get that gloss and thickening to the sauce when you are doing the stirfry. Don't know of anyone that uses baking soda though I wouldn't rule it out.
Water and corn starch slurry.
I talked to some of my Chinese food experts...i.e. moms. They actually suggest using a water and corn starch slurry. They would add this slurry to the meat, whether it is chicken, beef, or pork, and let it sit for a little while before cooking.
(One downside of this potentially is that it may thicken the sauce or liquid that your dish contains as this slurry is also used to thicken sauces and gravies.)
you can put a little vinegar and rub them properly for about 2 mins i always cook meat like that, they are tender and delicious, you can have a try.
Corn starch seals the meat and keeps the beef tender even without tenderizer. High heat short cooking, of course.
Probably they heat it a little bit and keep it warm instead of storing in a cold place like ice rooms.

J&B Met 2012 challenging convention through fashion
Visit our dedicated J&B Met page for more information about the event.
The fashion aspect and, more importantly, the Most Elegant Couple competition are the most highly regarded and anticipated events of the J&B Met. Here, designers are either reaffirmed or introduced, and those who have designed the winning garments in the past have gone on to become members of the fashion elite.
Made different
The theme for this year's event is Made Different, with organisers calling on designers and fashion fundis to challenge the status quo and break the rules of fashion. Make your outfit from something truly different, wear what traditionally should not be worn; whatever you wear, make sure it's different.
If you are still looking for that perfect outfit, local shopping centres and fashion boutiques are participating in various promotions, and will assist patrons in what to wear to the Met. This stimulates the fashion industry in one of its quietest months.
We caught up with Cape Town-based designers KLuK CGDT on what fashion to expect at this year's Met.
Christiaan Gabriel Du Toit and Malcolm Kluk of KLuK CGDT dress many celebrities and guests every year and 2012 is no different. But they are presently keeping mum on who they will be swathing in an incredible KLuK CGDT creation this year. There are whispers they will dress one of the judges, Roxy Louw.
The designers agree the J&B Met is an important showcase of local fashion talent. "It's important to have a presence as South African, and more specifically Capetonian, designers, and with many ways to interpret the Made Different theme it allows us the opportunity to show KLuK CGDT's creativity," says Malcolm.
And what trends to expect this year? "I think the point is to expect the unexpected - lots of interesting prints, dresses made out of unusual material - denim, plastic, brocades and curtaining - styles one wouldn't normally wear to the horse races," says Christiaan. "Taking a conventional outfit and inversing it. Hats will also be used to express the theme more boldly."
And the designers have their own ideas and interpretation of Made Different: "We love using unconventional materials for classic styles in order to keep garments special and unique," says Malcolm. "n our pret-a-porter range we use brocade for skirts and pants and, for KLuK CGDT couture, we love using viscose lycra and mesh for evening wear ."
Most Elegant Couple competition
The competition has two stages, pre-judging and the finals.
The pre-judging competition was introduced to cope with the hundreds of fashion-savvy couples who compete for the coveted title. Fashion spotters from the Fashion Design Department of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology hand out invitations to elegantly dressed couples, inviting them to the pre-judging. Only invited couples are allowed to enter.
The pre-judging panel consists of Good Hope FM presenters Ayanda Tini, Leigh Ann Williams and Meegan Kieffer who will whittle down the hundreds of couples to a final 16.
YFM twins Hlelo and Ntando Masina (pictured) will host the final judging when surfer/model Roxy Louw and radio personalities Phat Joe, Bujy, Ayanda Tini, Katlego Maboe and J&B Met executive Richard Brodrick decide the winner.
First prize
An all-inclusive three-night stay for two at the Tinga Private Game Lodge in the Kruger National Park to the value of R40 000.
The couple also receives two Givenchy vouchers, each valued at R2 500. A Carlton Hair hamper of Carlton products and vouchers is also included.
Second Prize:
The couple will receive two R5 000 gift vouchers from Cavendish Square, the official shopping centre for the J&B Met.
The couple also receives two Givenchy vouchers each valued at R2 500, and a Carlton Hair hamper of Carlton products and vouchers.
Third Prize:
The couple will receive two R2 500 gift vouchers from Cavendish Square, the official shopping centre for the J&B Met.
The couple also receives two Givenchy vouchers, each valued at R2 500, and a Carlton Hair hamper of Carlton products and vouchers.
Fourth prize:
The couple will receive two vouchers to be pampered in true style at the International Academy of Health and Skincare.
The couple also receives two Givenchy vouchers each valued at R2 500, and a Carlton Hair hamper of Carlton products and vouchers.
J&B Most Elegant Couple – Best-Themed Couple wins a Grand Weekend Getaway at GrandWest valued at R6 000 that includes:
Two nights' accommodation for two at the Grand Hotel, including breakfast.
Show tickets for two to an international show at the Grand Arena.
Two dinner vouchers each.

That K-Pop phenom Psy was slated to close last night's American Music Awards surprised no one — after all, he is the most liked musician in YouTube history — but Psy still managed to sneak in a little surprise of his own.
Halfway through his performance of "Gangnam Style," the Invisible Horseman of the K-Popclayps — already decked out in Hammer pants — invited the godfather of novelty dances MC Hammer on stage for a house-demolishing mashup of "Gangnam Style" and "Too Legit to Quit."

Semantically, the Yes/No buttons are roughly equivalent to the Ok/Cancel buttons, but in general what would you recommend to use? Should I always use Yes/No or always use Ok/Cancel? Or does it depend on the case?
migrated from programmers.stackexchange.com Aug 12 '11 at 7:00
This question came from our site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development.
Never use 'Yes' or 'OK' when you could use a verb instead.
And you can almost always use a verb instead of 'Yes' or 'OK'.
I agree with Lukas Mathis' postulation that nobody reads your dialog boxes. Use a verb whenever possible instead of 'Yes' or 'OK' because your buttons will make sense out of context with the explanatory text or title. This is a view that's further reinforced in Microsoft's user interface guidelines:
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines expand on this even further, recommending multi-word verbs instead of "OK" or "Yes" buttons, and clearly defining the suggested regions for an alert box:
They advise to only use an alert box in the first place if the action is not undoable. On the subject of button labels, they offer this:
In short, even if it might seem like the only or most logical options are to offer the user a "Yes" or "No" button (e.g. "Are you sure you wish to log out?"), you can almost always use a verb or phrase instead.
"Do you want to log out?"
In this way, a user need not read the title or explanatory text to understand how to proceed, and the meaning of clicking either button cannot be misinterpreted.
Also note that, given a choice between 'No' and 'Cancel', 'Cancel' is almost always better for exactly the same reasons as above: the meaning of 'Cancel' is clear even if the user hasn't read the rest of the dialog box. The meaning of 'No' is probably clear, but makes less sense when paired with a verb (e.g. 'Log Out' and 'Cancel' make more sense read alone than 'Log Out' and 'No').
The use of short words like Yes/No on buttons can be confusing if the user misreads the message on the dialog, especially if the messages are written badly. (So keep messages succinct and unambiguous in the first place)
So the approach I prefer to take is to make the confirmation of the action a bit more verbose than OK (Eg.
Even a simple question such as are you sure you want to logout, (if actually required in the first place) should have the buttons
In this way the user can quickly scan the buttons and get the gist of what they need to click even without reading the message.
Edit - With reference to above comments on greengit's answer, here's an example from Skype, of what not to do:
A confirmation dialog (one that asks a question and involves no input) should have yes/no. For example...
On the other hand, a dialog that represents an "action" and expects a user input, should have ok/cancel or <action>/cancel. For example...
Ok/Cancel and Yes/No button is only acceptable when you're too lazy to think up of a better label for the action.
An example of a good confirmation dialogs:
the button's label should reflect what action that will be done.
Also, never call any actions, such as "unregistering"/"closing" an account, as "canceling" to avoid ambiguity with cancel button. That is, the cancel button is a safe harbor for which the user can click on reflex without anything bad happening, don't make the user fear to click on a "Cancel" button.
Taking greengit's examples, this is what I would suggest for each of them:
Some UI guidelines recommend always using Ok/Cancel dialogs rather than Yes/No.
I, however, believe this is a huge mistake. Just for example, I recently saw a dialog with a question like "Do you really want to cancel your account?" and buttons labelled "Ok" and "Cancel". In this case, "Ok" meant "Cancel", and "Cancel" meant "don't cancel".
At least in my opinion, this is pretty close to completely insane. Of course, it would be possible to rephrase the question as something like "Close your account". Even so, some people are likely to think of it as cancelling the account, even if you don't use/suggest that word. Under the circumstances, a button labeled "cancel" is a lousy idea. Some people are inevitably going to think of it as cancelling the action of closing the account, but others as cancelling the account itself.
I will have to admit that the bias against "Yes"/"No" has some merit as well though. In this case, I think it would be better to avoid "stock" labels, and use something like "close the account", and "keep the account open".
Neither are very good solutions if you're looking to ask your users a question and give them options with which to respond. Yes/No works if you're in a survey, but it's very minimal for a modal dialog. OK/Cancel is like a holdover of the old days when screens had low resolutions and buttons had to be terse in order to fit.
The point is that button labels qualify as microcopy and as such should be given the attention other elements of the user interface are given. What am I agreeing or disagreeing to? What am I OKing or canceling? Why is that information not on the button?
So go back and think about how you could change the label to be clearer. "Delete this row? Yes/No" would be much easier to scan (especially as it's a destructive action) if the buttons just said "Delete this row"/"Don't delete anything". Styling the action you want the user to perform as a bigger call to action and making the cancel button smaller (and perhaps not even a button) can help a lot as well.
Sometimes OK/Cancel introduces two buttons because there's a modal dialog involved. Ask yourself if you neeed a modal dialog or if you could take it out and simplify the experience. For instance, if you have a user's sign out dialog, don't ask them "Would you like to sign out? OK/Cancel" in a modal dialog, but just have a button saying "Sign out" and the user can decide to click on it or not.
Relevant questions that will help you out with your decision:
In general, I agree with @Nick but there is one other thing worth of mentioning:
Avoid dialogs if you can - dialogs are just annoying most of time - you're asking user if he's sure. I don't know how about you but I really dislike this kind of protesting - computer is here to serve me not other way around!
So - what about delete button? It makes sense to ask before this kind of action, right? Well, it certainly does but there's also much better solution - provide undo functionality
Recycle bin, undo link in tray notifications, "rescue email" sent after cancelling account, multiple versions of the same document, etc. Don't be lazy - invest some time in simplifying your UI, making it more straight. Users deserve ability to operate fast and if they make mistake then you should just provide safety rope - that's it. Don't bother them unless it is totally necessary.
Also, placing delete separated from other buttons and making it little tinier could help to minimize these mistakes. iPhone apps usually do have save/cancel (both of them potentially dangerous) on top of screen - because it's harder to tap there.
EDIT: There is also article on "undos over confirmations" from Aza Raskin
It depends on the formulation. I wouldn't want anything other than Yes/No for a question expecting a Yes/No answer. I wouldn't want Yes/No for something which isn't a question (or a question formulated in such a way that yes/no isn't a valid answer).
Most users look for only 3 m.
and the third one is:
So, using
That means, their usage depends on the case.
I would use Yes/No in the Dialog if the workflow needs a descission which way to go on. OK/Cancel should be used in the meaning of "Go on?" with the processing/workflow because normally Cancel implies something is stopped or interrupted if I press cancel. I would not use an OK/Cancel dialog in combination with a question like "Should we stop here?"... this is a Yes/No descission (see workflow and descission). So the right choice always depends on the question, too. Well, it is possible to construct questions that irretates the user... but why should you do this?
I don't have any statistics to prove the following claim, but for me personally having a custom text on buttons is not always better.
Ok/Cancel/Yes/No are so common that our brains are already trained to recognize and act on them in a split of a second, while custom labels require from a user to stop and actively process the information, which can be annoying if used on common actions.
As long as the expected action started by the user and the dialog follow the same logic, simple Yes/No is great. I already know what I'm doing, I just need to confirm it. Any extra explanations are just sort of noise.
One example is Empty Trash action. I want to be prompted each time to avoid accidental clicks, but when I click it on purpose I want to be over with it as fast as possible. Just click - click, I don't want to read the dialog's text, I already expect what it wil ask and I expect to answer Yes or No (or Ok/Cancel), cause that's the usual set of answers.
One good solution to this IMHO is to use the button labels in the form "Yes, do something". This way it's still easy to just scan the text and figura out the meaning, but if you are confused about the dialog you can read everything and be sure what the button does.
I prefer to use Verb and cancel, as described by @Nick, it make more sense and user friendly. For Example if you are closing a Window and if you ask user " Would you like to close Window?" There are two type of option you can have "Yes/No" and "Close/Stay".. "Ok/Cancel" make no sense.
So first preference goes to verb then yes/no.
The days of Yes/No and Ok/Cancel button labels are gone. It's time to use action-specific button labels on your dialogue boxes like this article suggests.
It will help power users who don't read the dialogue box text from clicking the wrong button. They tend to move fast through the interface so by labeling your buttons with an action-specific word, all they have to do is read the button labels to know which one to click. 'Ok' is vague and doesn't describe what action or task the user is doing.

I am have come across my old computer in my attic. It is a very old windows 98 HP computer. I can give more specs if needed. I was wondering if I could install Damn Small Linux on a flash drive and boot to it and install it over the current operating system and run linux properly without an internet connection. Like what is there to do on a linux system without internet? will this be a good learning environment for me to familiarize myself with linux? Should/Could I possibly try to take apart the operating system and look into it. Another added on question is should I maybe run archlinux instead of DSL and temporarily connect to the internet to get that set up or is that too advanced for me and even that old of a computer. The reason that I cannot connect to the internet is because I am going to be hooking this computer up in my bedroom and the internet is in my parents room and I do not believe that this old of a system can run with wireless internet. However, I can temporarily connect via ethernet cable but not for long.
Yes of course you can use Linux with no internet access. For one thing, Linux first came out in 1991, a time when the internet was in its infancy and very very few people (if any) outside academia and the military had access to it.
I used Linux for years when my only connection to the internet was a 14.4 kbit/s modem so I was not connected for most of the time I was using the machine. Still today, Linux does not require the internet, no OS does.
As for which distro, I would recommend either choosing one that is as old as your computer or one of the more modern minimalist ones. As Zelda said, make sure you can install from CD since USB and even DVD may be a problem. Back in '98-99 I was using Mandrake (now Mandriva) and then switched over to SuSe (now openSuse). I had a perfectly decent KDE desktop and everything.
Basically, you want a nice stable release that does not require constant upgrading. So, either go for one of the old ones (you can still find the old ISOs online) or go for a LTS release.
You should be able to run one of the smaller distributions.
Most important is that a computer with Windows 98 might be a 90s kid and so is not likely to boot from a flash-drive (or even worse, has USB 1.0—USB 2.0 was released in 2000.
I recommend you prepare for CD install, as a system that old problably even doesn't have a DVD drive—as required by some recent full-fledged installs like Ubunut 13.10, nowadays.
Compare the specification of your computer—CPU, minimal RAM, minimal disk space, CD install—with what the Linux distributions you want to install requires.
Well you could play around with unix utilities, look up how the file systems works, do some coding etc.
But from time to time you will get stuck when trying to do something (let's say figuring out how to use a certain text editor etc.) and you will need internet to look up how to do that. Get a wireless router and install a wifi card in that computer and install whatever you like but start with something easier like Ubuntu or Linux Mint or something like that.
If you need, you can always go more "hardcore". I am answering this question assuming you are not that familiar with linux so excuse me if you are.
P.S. Chunk questions into smaller paragraphs and points so people are more willing to read them.

The whole Vegan Family was on the road today to visit family for the Easter Weekend. Unlike our American neighbours, we get Friday and Monday off. It always struck me as weird that Americans did not get at least one day off for Easter, what with Easter being central to the Christian calendar, and what with "God Bless America" and all that. Anyway, we were treated to veggie chili upon out arrival, and it was so nice not to have to cook for one night. I am not sure what we will pull together for dinners over the next few days, but I will be sure to blog it if I can.

Easter just isn't profitable enough in the US to grant extra days off. Plus, this allows us to delude ourselves into thinking that we are a secular country.

Many school districts get around the dilemma by incorporating it into spring break; for instance, "Good Friday" was during break, and on Monday we have an inservice. We're supposed to have a separation of church and state... I don't celebrate Easter, but it was cute to see little kids running around with baskets anyway.
BTW, I'm doing a book group with my students, using The Stories Julian Tells by Anne Cameron. Because I often like to make food on the first day of a new book group (what kid doesn't like food?) I was going to have to make lemon pudding, but wasn't thrilled about it. Then you shared your recipe for lemon pudding cake -- I am sold! I'll let you know how the third and fourth graders like it. And your kids would probably like that book, even as a read-aloud if they are too young to read it themselves.

It is odd we (in the USA) typically get a federal, state, or school holiday around that time, but we do get the (formerly) religious holiday of Christmas.

It is only being fair about it.Hide replies
It's jail, things aren't supposed to be "fair" in jail....
The REALLY said part LGR, liberals STILL don't get that little fact...
"sad" not "said"
You might want to compare Norway's "fair" criminal justice system and their recidivism rates to the USA. Of course, I understand this is just your opinion, and not based on any factual information, and therefore you're entitled to it, no matter how misguided it may be.
One could go the opposite route and compare the recidivism rate of our system vs. sharia law as well (keeping with the muslim narrative). I understand this is just your opinion not based on factual information and therefore entitled to it, no matter how misguided it may be.
Would Sharia law cause you to have your fingers cut off for your "crimes" ? If so, maybe it's not so bad. ;)
The same standard could apply to you as well so you might not want to be so quick to judge what my "crimes" might be....
You are right, well the Shiria people probably wouldn't like either of us. You do know what a winking smiley means, right ?
I'm full of typos today. Sorry.
* typing "crimes", that is.
Fairness has nothing to do with it, equality does. Inmates must be treated equally. And even inmates are guaranteed certain protections. And there is the small matter of the constitutional ban on establishment of a state religion. I know from the gun cntrol debate that conservatives like LGR are big proponents of the constitution.
"He estimated that about a dozen Muslims are inmates at the jail at any given time, and about half of them are devout."
If they were THAT devout, they wouldn't be IN JAIL now would they?Hide replies
It's jail, not prison. They could be being held for trial, and remember, we're all innocent until proven guilty. I am not religious AT ALL, but if they want to worship, they should be allowed to, and provided with the same materials any other religious person would need. Maybe you and I can still reach a common ground though...how about instead of not providing Korans, we just eliminate all the bibles too ? ;)
Sorry, the police just don't pick random people off the street and throw them in jail. They're there for a reason so please spare us the "innocent" line.
BTW, once again, it's jail, if someone wants a bible of koran so bad, get out of jail and try a library.
I'll remember your choice to ignore part of the constitution next time the gun control debate comes up =)
You still fail to realize the difference between jail and prison. Can't have those petty shoplifters, drunks and fine scofflaws worshiping, can we ?
Funny how one side seems to hold the constitution sacred UNTIL there's a gun control debate, then it's OK to ignore it. Jails are full of "innocent" people, just ask them. Like I said, the people there weren't just randomly picked up off the street. If they were "innocent", they wouldn't have been on the police radar.
If those in jail thought "worshiping" was that important and that integral to their lives, perhaps they shouldn't have done what ever it was that landed them there.
You beat me to it, lightfantastic. And all this time I thought was the liberals who are dismissive of the Constitution....
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments are as important as all the others. 'Due process' is one of this country's founding principals.
Ah, but see, this is different. The supreme court has already ruled that "gun rights" are not a free-for-all, and that some restrictions are acceptable, and constitutional. I don't recall reading any judgments like that about due process.
Throw the word "terrorism" into the equation and your "due-process" becomes that free-for-all. I believe the courts have ruled on that as well.
Unfortunately, your 2:32 post is spot on, LGR, and I find it abhorrent.
Must not be searching hard enough, I got my Koran from freekoran.com and didn't even have to pay shipping.
I'm sure POTUS has a few extra he can spare ....Hide replies
Well, considering he's not a Muslim, I'm sure he could spare any that he might find laying around unused.
I'll take Barry's word for it over yours lightfantastik, when he said to George Stephanopoulos in September 2008 when Barry spoke of "my Muslim faith".
So you calling Barry a liar ?
LOL. If you are too ignorant to comprehend that interview as a whole, and understand the context of which he said it, then trying to argue with you is entirely pointless. SMH.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslimfaith.asp - go ahead and post your "liberal lamesteam media" / "George Soros" BS retort. I'll just laugh at you more...
"... I'll just laugh at you more..."
Just remember, everyone is not laughing with you....
Oh, I beg to differ. I can think of about 65,899,557 people, who if given the change to read your garbage post, would at least have the potential to be laughing with me =P
Correction: Chance
Everyone seems to be missing the fact that the Bibles are donated. They have not had enough Qurans donated. Draw your own conclusions about which faith community supports its members while they are in jail.Hide replies
I'm sure that big Mosque on 13th and Layton in Milwaukee could get a few bucks together to donate them to their incarcerated brothers. The "Christian Infidels" seem to be taking care of their own people. Or maybe the Muslim who actually are devout want nothing to do with the criminal element in their own circles. I don't think the Muslim religion is real forgiving.
MIght as well get everyone some Mother Goose books. There's as much truth in them as the Bible or the Quran.Hide replies
How is this comment constructive? Whether you believe or not, how has it contributed to the discussion?
Whilst incarcerated, everyone is "devout", in a manner of speaking.
Maybe it's just that we know that christians keep getting locked up, so there is a bigger need for the bibles. Maybe some priests know that they will finally be getting put aawy and they want to be sure they have something to read!
do the books to be provided include text about killing with impunity any "
non-believer" declining to convert?
Demonizing Muslims is so 2002.

What is the etymology of the term 仏様 ? I am interested because of all the meanings this word can possess.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

It comes from two words: 仏{ほとけ} (hotoke, Buddha) and 様{さま} (an honorific suffix). さま is of course applied to many names towards which a large degree of deference is to be shown (gods, royalty, etc.).
But perhaps you're wondering about the origin of 仏{ほとけ}? That's a bit more complicated. According to the 大辞泉 dictionary, the word ほとけ originally came from a phonetic shift of the word ぶつ (a word for "Buddha" in Japanese) into the word ほと.
After this shift, the ending ~け was then applied, which means (loosely translated) "looks like" or "seems like," to mean "an image of Buddha." You can also see this ~け in words like ありげ and よさげ.
From this original meaning of "an image of Buddha," the meaning then shifted a bit through history to mean "Buddha," as well as "a spirit of the deceased."
I wouldn't say that 仏{ほとけ} really has many other meanings besides those above, although it's extremely versatile in idiomatic expressions, which can give it many uses.
