Wallpaper Murals: Traditional and Contemporary
A wallpaper mural can make a big statement, as we've seen in house tours and previous posts. There are a couple of ways you can use them: either in a traditional context where the mural could mimic a European-style fresco, or in a more modern context where a blow-up of a photograph or a contemporary artist's work decorates the room. We've rounded up sources for both styles...

Three workers have now been killed following an explosion offshore Brazil. On Friday (9 June), Petrobras had reported that one person had died and three were injured as a result of an explosion aboard the NS-32 (Norbe VIII) drillship.

According to Sindipetro-NF, a workers' union, the blast occurred at 7:48 a.m. local time. Petrobras said the incident occurred in one of the drillship's boilers.
"There was no subsequent fire or production impact in the Marlim field. There is no risk of leakage," Petrobras said in a statement. "The emergency plan was triggered immediately and specialized teams are monitoring the probe, which is already in safe condition."
The drillship is in the Marlim field, in the Campos Basin, and is under charter from Odebrecht Oil & Gas (OOG).
Twenty-nine-year-old IMI worker Ericson Nascimento de Freitas died from his injuries on Friday.
Eduardo Aragão de Lima, 33, was hospitalized at the HPM in Macaé and died at 12:20 a.m. on Sunday. Jorge Luiz Daminão, 44, has also died. One other, who was sent to hospital, has seen been released to his home.
The incident is currently under investigation by Brazilian authorities.
Sindipetro said: "Three lives were taken, because of the irresponsible way in which the workers and the workers of the oil sector are treated, acting as human beings were merely mere numbers and obstacles to the profit of the Brazilian and world elite."
Norbe VIII is a DSME 10000, 6th generation DP3 drillship built in 2011 and able to work in up to 10,000m water depth.

Captain's ReportGrady-White Express 330By Capt. Rob SmithAs successful as the Express 330 has been for Grady-White, it begs the question "why mess with success?" They answered my question with a good reason -- they listened to their clients. By listening to the people who bought this model in the past and to the ones who were interested in it today, they came up with over 40 improvements to this current model. Key for me, at least, was raising the cockpit and windshield heights to improve sight lines from the helm. The 330 now has great visibility, even coming out of the hole. Another feature someone from South Florida can appreciate is the addition of optional cockpit air conditioning for those dreadfully hot August days and nights!On the BowGoing forward to the bow is simple as they have molded in steps leading up to wide sidedecks with 316 grade stainless rails for handholds along the way. At the front is a bow pulpit with the anchor passing through the slot and lead to a standard windlass. The only thing lacking was a skid plate to protect the deck from the chain and shackles. Foot switches and a remote at the helm mean you can single hand this rig or have helpers up front when necessary. Walking around up front I found it to be very stable and safe.At the HelmYou definitely have some good sight lines from the bridge deck. The windshield is tinted safety glass for long life and durability. The standard hardtop is much appreciated. It has an electronics box, zippered net storage overhead for life jackets and throwables, ventilation hatch and overhead two-color light. Spreader lights and 6 rocket launcher rod holders are on the back side of the top and it is reinforced so you can add radar and outriggers. Seating is in high style on this model as well. To port, you have a short bench seat with a drop-away end and adjustable footrest so one or two can join you. I really appreciated some extra touches, such as the 12 volt socket for my portable gear on both the port and starboard side seats. On the starboard side, the bench goes from the dash to the aft cockpit with another drop-away center piece so two can sit facing each other or everyone sits facing the driver. The driver's seat is a high-end Pompano fully adjustable deluxe seat with vertical and horizontal adjustments and flip armrests. It is too expensive to leave your electronics exposed these days and Grady-White knows it. A huge panel is electrically driven to bring your flat screens up to just the right angle for you. On top of the dash is a compass right where it should be with the Yamaha Digital Command gauges and trim indicators just below it on the first vertical panel. Rocker switches are grouped together for easy reach and in logical position and the trim tab switches are next to the Yamaha Digital Command throttle and shift. Around the wheel on my test model was a Raymarine VHF, Autopilot and SidePower Joystick control for an optional bow thruster. The foot kill switch for the bow thruster was at the base of the starboard surround seating within easy reach of the wheel. My only issue was I either need to lose some size or they need a little more clearance around the helm and right side of the surround seating.AccommodationsThe cabin entry door was easy to open and to keep open with a heavy magnetic catch rather than the nail I see so often. Just inside the door were the controls for the optional cockpit air conditioning and the optional fish box chill plates. Up front is a raised berth with rod storage loops overhead and stained wood racks for books and magazines on the sides. Teak and holly floors with a single step up to the teak table really add some warmth to the space. The table drops down and a filler cushion added makes this into a berth. Entertainment on my test boat included an Aquos Sharp TV, Toshiba DVD player, Kenwood satellite ready stereo and auxiliary inputs for portable video and stereo/MP3s. In the deepest part of the cabin, I had about 73" of cabin height.The port side galley included all the gear you need to stay out for an extended trip or overnight. This one had a Tappan microwave, Corian counters and cutting board, two burner cooktop, Isotherm refrigerator/freezer and some storage for dry goods. Across from the galley is a separate head compartment. This compartment includes a vanity with storage, pull out shower wand and VacuFlush head. This compartment is ventilated and has about 71" of overhead for comfort.The power distribution panel is protected by a Plexiglass cover on the aft wall. Just below the panel wall is a comfortable crawl in double berth. I say comfortable because it was easy for me to get into and stretch out without being considerably claustrophobic. The mattress to cabin height in here was about 25".
Boat DeckContinuing the tour to the working space, the cockpit floor is reinforced so you can add a fighting chair for the serious angler. The cockpit has about 80 square feet of working space with 29" high gunwales and cockpit bolsters to protect your legs when giving the fish your best efforts. The gunwales have flush mounted rod holders and under gunwale rod racks. At the floor level are toe rails for safety when leaning over the sides. In the port corner is a handy drop box and in the wall below it is the battery switches and fuel cut-off valves. The center box is a 270-qt monster fish box with optional Cruisair chill plates. In front of the fish box is a super handy, patented bench seat that takes seconds to set up or put away. Behind and under it are access panels to the 4kw Panda diesel generator and dedicated tank along with remote handles for the through hull shut offs. The walkthrough on the starboard side shows how serious they are with super duty handle and hinges. Off the stern was a three step telescoping swim ladder so you can get back on board after taking a cooling dip.The MeasureThis model measures 35'10" with the pulpit, 33'6" centerline length. She carries a beam width of 11'7", 10'6" at the stern where you can hang up to 700 horses of outboard power. Hull depth is about 25" and bridge clearance is about 9'10". This model tips the scales at 10,840 lbs without the engines. I tested it with twin Yamaha 350-hp V-8 Four Strokes. She has a capacity of 350 gallons of gas and 13 gallons of diesel.The Test ResultsIt was bitterly cold when I tested, but the seas were pretty calm. The true test of how well she works will have to be another day when you can crash through some off-shore pounding waves, but I did find she is responsive and nimble for her size. Her hull was designed by C. Raymond Hunt & Associates, the firm that popularized the Deep-V hull. She has a very fine entry forward and a warped hull to a semi-deep-V aft. She is up on plane in 4.22 seconds and passing through 30 mph in 6.6 seconds. Her best cruise was around 3500 rpm for 25.5 mph and a range of 383 miles on a full tank. At top end, she was smooth, quiet and dry riding at 50.75 mph and 6000 rpms.
Test Result Highlights

More About This Model
Honda Motor Company has flourished over the years thanks to a knack for supplying its customers with solid, reliable cars that were easy to drive and easier to own. The very first Accord started that trend back in 1976, and while the nameplate has evolved from a compact hatchback into a midsize sedan (and coupe), its mission really hasn't changed much over the years. Honda products can always be counted upon to provide maximum owner satisfaction per dollar spent, which is why the Accord is one of the most popular vehicles in the country.
So how does one go about making a winning package like this even better? The answer is quite simple, really: give it more power and better economy. While that statement is easy to make, automotive history has shown that improved performance typically results in decreased efficiency, while stellar economy usually equates to lackluster performance. That school of thought no longer holds true, however, thanks to a leap forward in propulsion technology currently showcased in the 2005 Accord Hybrid. Featuring gobs of tractable power, luxury amenities galore and EPA fuel economy ratings higher than most four-cylinder compacts, Honda's latest technological marvel appears to be the first Hybrid built with driving enthusiasts in mind.
When Honda introduced the ground-breaking Insight in 2000, it was hailed as a leap forward in automotive engineering, and thanks to its slippery raindrop shape and highly efficient gasoline/electric hybrid drivetrain, the small coupe was able to achieve record-setting fuel-efficiency while retaining everyday drivability that would have been impossible in a pure electric vehicle. Honda's solution was to design a lightweight, highly aerodynamic coupe powered by both gasoline and electric motors. The small 1.0-liter gasoline engine provided primary power while sipping fuel at a miniscule rate, and the electric motor would kick in when extra thrust was needed.
The system worked very well and the Insight proved popular, but its buyers were primarily people who were willing to make certain sacrifices in order to pass by filling stations on their way to saving the environment. Those sacrifices included a cramped two-seater interior, funky love-it-or-hate-it styling, air conditioning that didn't work very well when the vehicle was sitting still and a relative lack of power compared to other small coupes on the road. Despite these minor inconveniences, the Insight showed the world that hybrid technology is highly efficient and driver-friendly, and public interest soared.
A few short years later, Honda introduced a hybrid version of the Civic utilizing improved technology that allowed buyers to enjoy the well-documented style, driving dynamics and comfort of a standard Civic while simultaneously reaping the rewards of a highly efficient drivetrain. Both of these vehicles are still available, and while they offer an excellent balance of efficiency and environmental friendliness, neither one could be considered a sport sedan or a luxury car by any stretch of the imagination.
While the Big H's main competitor has focused on refining its highly efficient but relatively low-performance synergy drive system in the Toyota Prius, the new Accord Hybrid's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system is designed to be the most powerful hybrid system ever built. Based on the highly successful seventh-generation Accord that was introduced in 2003, the hybrid model resides firmly at the top of the Honda food chain, one notch above the luxurious EX V6 model. Standard features include a leather-trimmed interior, dual-zone automatic climate control, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, alloy wheels and even an AM/FM/XM stereo with an in-dash six-disc CD changer.
The big news, however, resides under the hood. While the standard Accord V6 model is powered by a 3.0-liter VTEC V6 that produces 240 horsepower, Honda decided to take things to the next level by adding a hybrid drive system that actually boosts output to an impressive 255 ponies while improving fuel economy dramatically.
The way the system works is quite ingenious. The hybrid's IMA system utilizes an electric motor fitted between the gas engine and the five-speed automatic transmission that boosts power only when necessary (such as when you're climbing a hill or passing in traffic) and also functions as a generator, charging the batteries during deceleration and braking. A variable cylinder management system actually shuts down half of the engine's six cylinders when they aren't needed, meaning that the car is actually more efficient on the highway than a four-cylinder Civic. Stomp on the gas, however, and the totally seamless system employs all six cylinders and the full force of the electric motor in a single smooth burst of power unlike anything any Accord has ever offered before.
In fact, Honda claims that 0-to-60-mph times have been reduced by a full half-second to 7.5 seconds (compared to an EX V6 sedan). Meanwhile, the EPA has given the Accord Hybrid a 30 mpg city/37 mpg highway fuel economy rating — the highest numbers ever given to a V6-powered vehicle. We don't doubt those acceleration times after spending some time behind the wheel of the smooth new fuel-sipper. While the EPA numbers may not be as high as what we're used to seeing from modern hybrids, keep in mind that this is a powerful midsize sedan loaded with just about every amenity one could ask for.
The Accord Hybrid doesn't have everything, though, as Honda's engineers ditched the sunroof option in a bid to save weight. Other changes include new lightweight aerodynamic alloy wheels, a very high-tech IMA readout in the instrument cluster that provides details on how the hybrid drive system is operating, first-in-class active noise cancellation technology, a small rear deck spoiler and, of course, a subtle badge denoting the car's hybrid status. As in other leather-lined Accords, both the front and rear seats are extremely supportive and comfortable. Two-tone, soft-touch door and dash panels add an upscale feel, as do the plentiful use of high-quality wood trim.
Further improvements to the ultraefficient sedan include making the hood and bumper out of aluminum and tuning the suspension to accommodate the change in weight and provide a sportier ride and feel. The climate control system utilizes a unique hybrid compressor that is both highly efficient and effective, and new electric power steering technology borrowed from the Acura NSX sports car ensures a precise steering feel even when the gasoline engine turns itself off in idle-stop mode.
After wading through all this technical mumbo-jumbo, you're probably wondering how the car actually drives. If we were to sum it up in one word, it would have to be "smooth." We had the opportunity to drive a standard Accord EX V6 and the Hybrid model back-to-back, and while the extra torque and speed were readily apparent, we couldn't detect many other differences between them. While that might sound like a bad thing, it's actually a big feather in Honda's cap. The IMA system is so smooth and linear, it's nearly impossible to tell when the electric motor is helping things along and when the VCM has shut down half the V6's cylinders in cruising mode. Of course, the car drives like a typical Honda Accord, which means the ride is soft and compliant while offering a much sportier feel than anything you could expect from chief competitor Toyota. In fact, the leather-lined interior is so close to Acura-level luxury that one could make a strong argument for choosing this car over a premium-brand midsize sedan based on its power and interior comfort alone, not to mention its stellar fuel economy.
The electric steering is the one of the best setups we've ever tested (are you listening, GM?), as it offers plenty of feedback and confidence-inspiring road feel without any of the numbness we've experienced with other electrically controlled setups. Most importantly, when we mashed on the gas pedal, we were thrilled with the increased power, which actually managed to push us back in the seat as we rocketed down the road in a smooth, hybrid-powered burst of speed. The system works equally well on the highway, and when the V6 slips into variable cylinder management mode, you can hardly tell the difference, save for a few short movements by the fuel economy gauge next to the speedometer.
The noise cancellation system does a nice job of filtering out excess racket from the mechanical parts and systems, and we enjoyed the brief moments of pure silence when the car came to a stop and both engines would shut down, saving fuel and patiently waiting for us to lift our foot off the brake pedal as a signal to get things moving again. Overall, the entire package is well engineered and thoroughly refined, and it seems that Honda has just boosted hybrid technology to a new plateau.
So is the Accord Hybrid worth forking over a $4,000 premium over the price of a loaded EX V6? If you enjoy extra power and the ability to cruise over 600 miles on a single tank of unleaded, then the answer is a resounding "yes." Honda's latest super sedan may not be as efficient as the Prius or as futuristic-looking as the Insight, but it offers plush surroundings, unparalleled power, sporty driving dynamics and top-tier fuel economy in a sleek yet stealthy package. True driving enthusiasts who require the practicality and efficiency of a hybrid but harbor a burning desire for extra acceleration and the added bonus of having the latest tech toy on the block should find the Accord Hybrid an interesting prospect indeed.

Should I lease or buy a 2005 Honda Accord?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.

A federal agency has scrapped a proposal to automatically allow government-sponsored farm lenders to invest more in rural hospitals, retirement homes and similar facilities.
However, it may still allow such loans on a case-by-case basis.
The Farm Credit Administration's proposed rule would have authorized companies within the Farm Credit System network of lenders to make such investments without the agency's prior approval.
For example, a rural nursing home could raise money by selling a bond to a system lender, as long as certain criteria were followed.
Community bankers and others had vehemently opposed the proposal, arguing that it deviated from the system's primary purpose of lending to agriculture.
The Farm Credit System enjoys lower tax rates and lending costs than commercial banks, so it shouldn't be allowed to compete with them beyond its traditional mission, opponents claimed.
Proponents argued that such investment is critical to agriculture, since farmers need access to hospitals, schools and other facilities in the rural areas where they live.
Farm families often rely on off-farm income, so such facilities also provide jobs and other economic opportunities in rural communities, proponents claimed.
While the Farm Credit Administration has dropped the proposal — and will end associated pilot programs aimed at rural investment — it isn't backing away from the idea entirely, said Gary Van Meter, director of the agency's regulatory policy office.
"We felt it was more important to go forward on a case-by-case basis," Van Meter said.
Lenders within the system will still be able to ask the FCA's permission to invest in rural facilities, but the agency has decided against creating a standardized process for such investments, he said.
The agency decided to back away from the proposal in part because system lenders made a relatively small amount of investment in such facilities under the pilot programs, Van Meter said.
Since the pilot programs were launched nearly a decade ago, Farm Credit institutions invested about $733 million in rural community projects. That represents less than a half-percent of the system's total loan volume.
The proposed rule was initially floated in 2008 and has since generated strong feelings on both sides, Van Meter said. "It was controversial."
Some lenders within the Farm Credit System likely didn't make such investments due to uncertainty, said Ken Auer, president and CEO of the Farm Credit Council, a trade group for system companies.
To participate in the pilot programs, lenders had to spend money on hiring people with the expertise to analyze those types of investments, he said. Many preferred to "wait and see" whether the rule would be finalized.
"Not all institutions were able to take that risk," Auer said.
Opponents of the proposal seemed to think that if they didn't want to fund rural community projects, then nobody should be allowed to, he said.
Expanded investment in rural facilities is especially important now due to tighter federal spending, Auer said. "There are more than enough needs in rural America."
Bert Ely, a financial industry consultant who opposed the proposal, said he remains suspicious of the Farm Credit System's involvement in such projects.
By allowing such investments on a case-by-case basis, "they're still keeping it in place, effectively," said Ely, who is affiliated with the American Bankers Association, an opponent of the rule. "De facto, they're going to continue it."
The notion that Farm Credit System lenders are investing by buying bonds is really just a "subterfuge" intended to exceed their authority under the Farm Credit Act, which created the system, he said.
"It's a loan by another name. There's credit risk," Ely said. "It's sidestepping the credit restrictions in the Farm Credit Act."

BERLIN Strong demand from outside Europe pushed exports from Germany, Europe's biggest economy, to a record high last year, offsetting the effects of the economic troubles of its neighbors, official data showed Friday.
Germany exported goods and services worth euro1.097 trillion ($1.48 trillion) in 2012, up 3.4 percent on the year before, the Federal Statistical Office said. The previous record of some euro1.06 trillion was set in 2011.
Exports have been a traditional motor of growth for the German economy. Last year, they were pulled higher by an 8.8 percent increase in exports to countries outside the European Union, which totaled euro471.7 billion.
However, exports to other countries in the 27-member EU, which still account for more than half the total, were down 0.3 percent at euro625.7 billion. And there was a 2.1 percent drop in exports to Germany's partners in the 17-nation eurozone, where several countries are in recession. Those totaled euro411.9 billion last year.
Germany's overall export figures for the year's final months were less spectacular underlining expectations that the country's gross domestic product shrank significantly in the last quarter of 2012, though the economy has since shown signs of picking up.
The statistical office said that, in seasonally and calendar-adjusted terms, exports crept up 0.3 percent in December after two large declines in the previous three months. Exports were down 1.3 percent compared with November.
Germany's exporters' association, BGA, said the December figures suggested that demand in the U.S. and Asia couldn't compensate for the effects of Europe's lingering crisis at the end of the year.
Its chairman, Anton Boerner, said in a statement that "the consequences of the financial and economic crisis have yet to be mastered" and voiced concern at the possible fallout from what he termed "Japan's decision to manipulate its exchange rate for the purpose of encouraging foreign trade."
Germany has benefited from a relatively competitive euro exchange rate. The new government in Japan has indirectly pushed up the value of the single European currency in relation to the yen and other currencies by following a more aggressive economic policy.
German imports were up a more modest 0.7 percent last year at euro909.2 billion.
The country's foreign trade surplus hit its second-highest annual level since records began in 1950, the statistical office said, rising to euro188.1 billion from euro158.7 billion in 2011. The record of euro195.3 billion dates back to 2007.
Germany lost its crown as the world's biggest exporter in 2009 to China, which has powered further ahead since.

Acceleration Institute
I've worked in health care for several years and I'm passionate about improving the way care is delivered and received for patients. There is great opportunity to make a difference and I'm excited to be a part of this effort...and even more thrilled to launch this new venture. I think it will help me realize my commitment to improving the health of our communities. I'm always looking for creative people, ideas, and inspiration to challenge the status quo.
Our aim is to spark the creative energy and the dreamer in every executive, leader, and physician who wants something better for their hospital.
For an innovation company, the logo should have a sense of creativity and inspiration, while not being too clown-like or enormously bright colors. The company will be engaged in serious work and so something clean, energizing, and memorable is super important. The name of the company is "Acceleration Institute" and we are looking to build a logo around the first letter of each word, "AI". In fact, we want to be known over time as "AI".
The typeface should demonstrate innovation and be bold in its presence.
Other words that come to mind, which might be helpful: breakthrough, health, change, ideas, new, energy, collaboration, team, thinker, brave, etc.
I realize that AI can mean artificial intelligence - I'm not locked into the logo being completely about the two letters, but remain interested in what you can provide along those lines, if feasible.
Also looking for an elegant design that is not demonstrating innovation in the form of technology - we are not a tech company.
The website is still under construction, but is http://www.accelerationinstitute.com.
Might help.

A Trip Down Memory Lane: People Warned What Would Happen When Congress Passed Bills To Enable Vast Spying
from the let's-go-back dept
But the hastily-enacted legislation, dubbed the Protect America Act, does more than permit the interception of foreign-to-foreign communications. It permits warrantless surveillance "directed at a person reasonably believed to be located outside of the United States." There is no language specifically restricting surveillance activities to communications originating outside of the United States.And then, a year later, we got the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), which raised more concerns:
In passing the FISA Amendments Act, Congress gave the executive branch the power to order Google, AT&T and Yahoo to forward to the government all e-mails, phone calls and text messages where one party to the conversation is thought to be overseas. President Bush signed the bill into law Thursday morning, describing it as a bill that "protect[s] the liberties of our citizens while maintaining the vital flow of intelligence."Of course, last year, the FAA was up for renewal and we spent a lot of time discussing how folks in the House and the Senate (1) pretended that it only applied to foreign calls (when it clearly did not) and then (2) ignored Senators Wyden and Udall, who repeatedly made it clear that the law was being abused in this way, and asked others in Congress to demand a full and public accountability.
And, of course, the nefariousness here is not a partisan issue. Both of the laws above were signed by President Bush, and while President Obama campaigned on the fact that he would end such practices, we can safely say that that never happened.
So, while it's good that people are now realizing just how widespread the spying is, perhaps next time, when the same group of folks raise the alarm at these bills, they shouldn't be ignored or brushed off to the side as "oh you guys again..."

The Optimus MAX 4TB SAS SSD alleviates I/O bottlenecks by providing high-density storage for infrastructure footprint consolidation and reduced power consumption for efficient data throughput to deliver, high performance, high reliability and enhanced endurance for maximum application scalability and TCO savings.
SanDisk® introduced the Optimus MAX™ drive — a 4TB* SAS solid-state drive (SSD) —in April 2014, bringing ultra-high capacity to read-intensive application workloads, such as caching, media streaming, and video on demand (VOD). All of these workloads are becoming increasingly important in a computing world that is leveraging Big Data/Analytics, Cloud Computing, Social Media and Mobility to reach the next stage of IT performance — and business results.
The Optimus MAX SSD delivers a price/capacity point that, when compared to smaller capacity mechanical hard-disk drives (HDDs) that require a larger hardware infrastructure, can actually deliver an overall lower total cost of ownership (TCO). This new SSD cost solution is approaching that of HDDs for a similar total cost of acqusition (TCA).
That's because the Optimus MAX drive provides better capacity and performance characteristics in a smaller hardware footprint. Sample configurations, tested by SanDisk, show that the Optimus MAX SSD delivers the same capacity as much as 10 HDDs1 – and it does so with a single drive that fits into a standard SAS-compatible enclosure.
Hardware footprint, enclosure needs, controllers and cabling are all reduced, saving the user valuable financial resources, while reducing the number of points of failure in the overall architecture. The efficient power usage of the Optimus MAX SSD, compared to a HDD, can reduce power needs down to less than 7% of the HDD solution. Additional power savings are also realized in situations where drives are holding inactive data.
Large data-sets are becoming commonplace in the data center, driven by the megatrends towards Big Data/Analytics, Cloud Computing, Mobility and Social Media. These large trends are the basis for what IDC calls the Third Platform, and Gartner calls the Nexus of Forces. Both market-research firms see the need for a technology refresh and data center transformation through the use of new technologies, such as high-speed network devices, fast processors and flash storage, addressing storage bottlenecks in the data center while additionally bringing hardware footprint relief and cost savings to bear.
IDC's forecast for enterprise SSD growth expects a 26.9% five-year CAGR (compound annual growth rate) for enterprise SSDs deployed in servers and storage throughout the data center. IDC expects revenue for enterprise SSDs to grow from $3.3 Billion in 2013 to $10.9 Billion in 2018, the end of the forecast period.2
IDC expects unit shipments for enterprise SSDs to grow from 4.8 million enterprise SSDs shipped in 2013 to 20.9 million in 2018. This represents a 34.1% CAGR for unit shipments of enterprise SSDs.2
Read-intensive application workloads, incorporating video, images and sensor information, requires consistent and reliable data-transfer, to ensure smooth end-to-end quality-of-service (QoS). This is particularly important in the areas of VOD and media streaming, in which end-users are accessing the media for immediate viewing from smart hand-helds, tablets and phones.
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) – with many new data sources on the "edge" of the network (e.g. road sensors, heat sensors, RFID labels on consumer goods, and medical devices) is pushing the levels of data that must be gathered, analyzed and maintained to new levels. These media streams must be supported by high-performance servers and storage, and by fast network connections – where the data must be stored along the way, for later viewing and archiving.
High-density flash drives offer expanded capacity for a range of workloads, including read-intensive application workloads, such as media streaming and web serving. High-density drives can also be deployed to support mixeduse application workloads that combine reads and writes provided the user does not exceed the "Drive Writes Per Day" (DWPD) specification of the drive for extended periods of time such that the warranty of the device is not exhausted prematurely.
Each SSD brings a different mix of capabilities, and customers should consider how to best match those capabilities with the workloads they plan to run. The sweet spot for deployments of specific SSD products will depend on the type of NAND used, and the performance specifications for each SSD product, the type of controller used in the system, and the ratio of reads to writes. This paper will focus on the Optimus MAX, a 4TB* SAS SSD that has been optimized for readintensive application workloads. Its combination of high capacity and competitive pricing make it attractive for enterprise data centers and cloud service provider (CSP) data centers – both focused on capability and competitive cost.
In terms of endurance, the Optimus MAX SSD leverages SanDisk's innovative Guardian Technology™ Platform to ensure maximum possible write capability to the drive. The Optimus MAX 6Gb/s SAS SSD provides rates of up to 500/500 MB/s** sequential read/write and performance of up to 85K/10K IOPS for random read/write workloads.
The Optimus MAX SSD supports 0.5 full drive writes per day (DWPD)*** with a warranty for the lesser of 5 years or maximum endurance used. Higher DWPD endurance rates from 1 - 45 DWPD, are supported by other drives in the Optimus® SAS SSD family, such as the Optimus Eco™, Optimus Ascend™ and Optimus Ultra™ SAS SSD models.
However, customers who want to run a mixed-use, 70/30 read/write workloads can do so, given the extensive capacity of the drive. That is, the amount of data that can be stored in a single drive allows many writes to take place without over-taxing the DWPD limits of the drive. Each customer should evaluate which workload profiles fit best with the Optimus MAX SSD specifications – and with their own use case.
Operationally, the Optimus MAX SSD has a much faster access response time than a mechanical HDD solution. The Optimus MAX SSD has very low power consumption under load, and it consumes even less power when in idle mode. In contrast, a HDD must consume power spinning the disks – even when no data transfer is occurring. The large-capacity design of this drive, and its low-power usage in near-idle states makes the Optimus MAX SSD ideal for data that is stored long term but still requires quick access.
Environmentally, the Optimus MAX SSD saves on data center space, power and cooling – saving businesses in the area of operational costs. The Optimus MAX SSD enables a 10:1 ratio3 of enclosure consolidation against HDDs. Using less data center space leads to a "ripple effect" of savings of operational costs that are associated with maintenance, power and cooling.
SanDisk has designed the Optimus MAX SSD to provide high capacity for read-intensive workloads. For that profile of workload, the following are top use-case scenarios:
The Optimus MAX 4TB SAS SSD is available at the cost of SATA SSD-like prices. Its high density is double that of earlier-generation SAS SSDs – and much higher than the density available in many SAS HDD-based systems. The high density supports workload consolidation onto fewer physical servers – allowing IT managers to do more with less.
Key advantages of the Optimus MAX 4TB SAS SSD include the following:
Here is a sample configuration of the Optimus MAX 4TB SAS SSD:
Targeting capacity points of over 34TB
The Optimus MAX SSD is best suited for the transmission of data, analysis of already-written data, and cost-effective serving of web and video content.
SanDisk tested the Optimus MAX SSD in a variety of installations, and developed a model for deployment and usage that shows significant benefits for customers. Following, a total cost of acquisition (TCA) analysis was performed with key assumptions comparing the new Optimus MAX SSD with 300GB 15K RPM HDDs also supporting a SAS interface.
Figure 1: SSDs support 7% lower TCO than HDDs, while using 10% of the server footprints required by HDDs
Figure 1 shows all costs—for CapEx and OpEx – providing a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis. It shows that ownership of systems with Optimus MAX SSDs drive down operational costs, reducing business expense.
Figure 2: Over 10x the performance while using 7% of the power for only 8% more acquisition cost
Figure 2 shows a Total Cost of Acquisition (TCA) analysis of the sample configuration.
In all cases, the enclosures used held 15 drives, with each enclosure consuming 100 watts of power. Typical RAID 5 configurations for similar workloads resulted in 288 HDDs compared with just 24 SSDs – and both configurations supported about 35TB of data. That is why the SSD deployments saved so much data center space, while maintaining equivalent capacity.
Our testing cycle found significant benefits for deploying the Optimus MAX SSD, including the following:
SanDisk's introduction of the Optimus MAX, a 4TB SAS SSD, has set a new level of data-density for the SSD marketplace. Importantly, it is offering this capability at SATA-like cost levels. The savings in cost per square foot of hardware space coupled with reduced software expenditure where software is licensed by the enclosure or server count, may in many cases make the Optimus MAX SSD solution a much less expensive acquisition.
Optimized for read-intensive application workloads, the Optimus MAX SSD supports Caching, Decision Support, Media Streaming, Media Serving, VDI, Web Serving, and a moderate workload of any read/write mix that does not exceed 0.5 drive writes per day for 5 years. For this reason, it shows versatility that can be put to work in enterprise data centers – and in Cloud data centers focused on Internet-related streaming of data.
The Optimus MAX 4TB SAS SSD alleviates I/O bottlenecks by providing high-density storage for infrastructure footprint consolidation and reduced power consumption for efficient data throughput to deliver, high performance, high reliability and enhanced endurance for maximum application scalability and TCO savings.

December 10, 2012
On December 5, we covered Quentin Tarantino's latest film, Django Unchained. In a review of a trailer of the film, we noted that it is an unabashed effort to stir racial animosity and kick-start a possible race war.
"Like Robert Rodriguez's Machete, Django Unchained creates a world of hostility and violence ordered along racial lines. It is propaganda for a race war," we wrote.
"Django, of course, may be viewed as merely a b-movie directed by a guy who has made a handsome living off gratuitous blood and gore. However, when its inflammatory sub-text is inserted in the tinderbox social and political environment devised by the elite, it may prove far more damaging than its facile and cartoonish exterior reveals on first glance."
Now the film's star, Jamie Foxx, has gone on SNL and has expanded the race war narrative. From NewsBusters today:
Two weeks ago, Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx made national headlines when he called President Obama "Our lord and savior."
While hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend, Foxx joked about how in his new film "Django Unchained," "I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JAMIE FOXX: My name is Jamie Foxx. Give it up, give it up, New York City, Saturday Night Live. Come on, make some noise, man. New York City, New York City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, it's crazy. I'm black, and I'm dressed all black cause it's good to be black. Black is the new white. I'm telling you, how black is this right here? Nice fly, I'm saying. You know how I know black is in right now? Cause the Nets moved to Brooklyn. How black is that? They got black jerseys, black court. I mean, how black is that? And Jay-z is the owner, a rapper. How black is that? And Jay-z only own about this much of the team. But he act like he own all of New York. How black is that?

Texas Grit
Regarding Matt Joyce's "Texas Grit" [January]: My mother used to talk about the Dust Bowl. She grew up in Munday, north of Abilene. She used to say that when one of those storms hit, blowing sand and dirt, they would dismiss school at noon so that the busses could run their routes and get the country kids home. It would be dark by 4 p.m. there was so much dirt in the air!

Some Like it Hot
Anthony Head's article on hot Dr Pepper [January] brought back an experience that occurred in the fall of 1993, while I was employed as an athletic trainer at Andrews High School.
Under W.T. Stapler, the Andrews Mustangs had made the football playoffs in 1991 and 1992, but suffered defeats in the first-round games. Facing a third-year bi-district game in 1993 against Canyon Randall on a very cold night in Lubbock, I was giving thought as to what would be a good half-time drink for the players. My decision was hot Dr Pepper. The players were surprised and had a strange look on their faces, but after taking a few sips of the hot beverage with a slice of orange in it, there were demands for seconds. The team went out for the second half and played well enough to finally win a playoff game. The next week was met by demands for hot Dr Pepper and this continued for the third-week game. An interesting sidelight occurred in the third-game loss when the opponent was none other than the Stephenville Yellow Jackets under the direction of the legendary Art Briles, the current head coach at Baylor University. Perhaps Stephenville had hot Dr Pepper.

Iggy Azalea is an Australian rapper who became an Internet sensation last year when she released the video for "PU$$Y," an illuminating song about the European debt crisis (kidding). The video, a color-saturated ride through the streets of L.A., stars the gorgeous Azalea eating frozen snacks in high-waisted pants, and introduced us to her always-perfect trademark ponytail.
Given her persona and lyrics like "hit the scene, kill shit / we in the murda bizness," Iggy Azalea seems like the sort of person we would normally be intimidated to talk to, let alone shoot for a fashion website. As it turns out, though, while her curves and outfits are as jaw-dropping as you'd expect, Iggy is remarkably easy going. We talked to her about her hair secrets, the perfect Sunday afternoon, and working with fashion personality Andrew Mukamal.

Useful information
Aid and development
Australia is one of a handful of countries sticking by its commitment to increase its foreign aid budget in the wake of the extended global financial challenges. Although the Australian Government is delaying to 2016-2017 its commitment to get Australia's aid budget to 0.5% of Australia's gross national income, the aid budget is still on an upward trend with a 4% increase planned for next financial year. Australia's aid program continues to increase at a time when other economies in the region, notably China and India, are taking on donor roles in countries where Australia has been traditionally one of the major donors. Other countries in Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea are also emerging as small aid donors. The role of Australia's aid program in the world and how it fits into Australia's international policy suffers from weak domestic public discussion and debate. There is a lack of understanding on how the Australian aid program contributes to and supports Australia's national interest. Why should Australia maintain its aid commitment? What is international development? How does a changing international environment impact on Australia's aid policy and its relations in the regions? How does a foreign aid program fit in with Australia's wider international policy and national interest? Lowy Institute research, events and commentary examines these sorts of questions whilst debating & discussing the strategic influence of Australia's aid program.

What does "pwned" mean?
Quote from: naturallybeyoutiful on April 07, 2007, 06:28:25 AMWhat does "pwned" mean? It's leet speak (ie: elite speak). Basically, it's what computer nerds use to say that someone was "owned", but typing "p" instead of "o" because of the fact that people tended to keep mispelling it it as "pwned" instead of "owned" whenever they typed it to someone else.

Regina Berger Lederer was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1895 into the family of a successful manufacturing chemist. Her singing career was promising, but never fully realized. With the rise of the Nazi Party and increase in oppression of Jews, she and her husband escaped by leaving for Italy and the United States in 1939. Settling in New York, she worked as a skilled sweater repairer for many years. She died in Maryland in 1988, where she had gone to live near her son Paul.

text: The Meaning of Lent Lent – A Penitential Season Lent is the 40 day season prior to Easter. It is a penitential time of prayer and fasting. The season begins Ash Wednesday and concludes at the end of Holy Saturday, with the Easter Vigil. In the Roman Catholic Church, the 40 days of this season do not include the six Sundays of Lent. Sundays throughout the year are considered "mini-Easters" – they always celebrate the joy of the Resurrection of Christ. The word "Lent" itself comes from lencten, simply referring to the Spring season. However, since the Anglo-Saxon period (9th century) it has been a popular term for this penitential season. The Latin name for the season, quadragesima, is more significant, as it means "forty days" or "fortieth day." A Brief History of Lent In the first three centuries of Christianity, preparation for the Easter feast usually covered a period of one or two days, perhaps a week at the most. Saint Irenaeus of Lyons (ca AD 140-202) even speaks of a forty-hour preparation for Easter. As of the 5th century, some Church Fathers, such as St. Leo, believed the 40 day fast to be an Apostolic tradition. However, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, most modern scholars reject this view. History shows a variety in both the duration and fasting guidelines in the first three centuries. The first official reference to Lent as a period of forty days' preparation occurs in the teachings of the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325, which uses the term tessarakoste, meaning "fortieth" in Greek. By the end of the fourth century, a Lenten period of forty days was established and accepted. Lent and Baptism In its early development Lent quickly became associated with the sacrament of baptism, since Easter was the great baptismal feast. Those who were preparing to be baptized participated in the season of Lent in preparation for the reception of the sacrament of baptism. Eventually, those who were already baptized considered it important to join these candidates preparing for baptism in their preparation for Easter. The customs and practices of Lent, as we know them today, soon took hold. - Article Sources: The Catholic Encyclopedia, the Lent and Easter Wisdom series, and Wikipedia.

Dunkin' Donuts is tops in coffee customer loyalty for seventh consecutive year
With competition brewing steadily in the coffee category, Dunkin' Donuts has been recognized once again for keeping guests running with a superior experience. For the seventh straight year, Dunkin' Donuts has been ranked No. 1 in customer loyalty in the coffee category by the Brand Keys customer loyalty engagement index. This year, Dunkin' Donuts was also ranked No. 1 in customer loyalty in the packaged coffee category.
The 17th annual national survey, conducted by brand loyalty and engagement consultancy Brand Keys, identifies brands that are best able to engage consumers by meeting or exceeding their expectations, thus creating loyal customers. Brand Keys' customer loyalty engagement index recognizes the brands that receive the highest loyalty and engagement assessments and surpass competitors for "delighting" customers. In the coffee restaurant and packaged coffee categories, consumer preferences were based on consistently meeting customer expectations for taste, quality, service and brand value.
"Being recognized by Brand Keys once again for coffee customer loyalty is an honor that we share with our dedicated community of franchisees and our hard-working crew members, who provide our guests with fast and friendly service every single day," said John Costello, chief global marketing and innovation officer at Dunkin' Brands. "Working closely with our franchisees, we remain committed to keeping people running with a wide variety of food and beverages served quickly at any time of day, and at a great value."
"We congratulate Dunkin' Donuts, which has developed an extremely loyal fanbase by creating real emotional engagement between their brand and the consumer," said Robert Passikoff, founder and president of Brand Keys. "They've been No. 1 in our customer loyalty engagement index for seven years in a row, and you can only achieve that through great product, meaningful differentiation, and a brand that continuously resonates with the consumer."
Dunkin' Donuts' packaged coffee is available in flavors such as original blend, decaf, hazelnut and French vanilla. Dunkin' Donuts' packaged coffee is available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in a 16-oz. bag.
According to The NPD Group/CREST, Dunkin' Donuts serves the most hot regular/decaf/flavored coffee and iced coffee in America, selling more than 1.7 billion cups of coffee every year. Dunkin' Donuts uses 100 percent Arabica coffee beans, and the company's coffee specifications are recognized by the industry as a superior grade of coffee. There are more than 7,300 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the U.S., and more than 10,400 restaurants in 32 countries worldwide.

MySQL and the Leap Second, High CPU and the Fix
So, MySQL seemed to be faring just fine during and after the leap second. There were no big problems or catastrophic failures. However, we noticed that MySQL (and Java) servers* had a huge spike in CPU – which was odd, because nothing out of the ordinary was running. We were able to fix the problem quite easily. Here's the graph, and the fix:
Note that the CPU spikes starting at 17:00 Pacific, which is midnight UTC. We fixed it around 19:35 Pacific.
The fix is quite simple – simply set the date. Alternatively, you can restart the machine, which also works. Restarting MySQL (or Java, or whatever) does NOT fix the problem. We put the following into puppet to run on all our machines:
$ cat files/bin/leap-second.sh
# this is a quick-fix to the 6/30/12 leap second bug
if [ ! -f /tmp/leapsecond_2012_06_30 ]
/etc/init.d/ntpd stop; date -s "`date`" && /bin/touch /tmp/leapsecond_2012_06_30
We ran this in puppet, which we set to run the command on the next puppet run, and puppet would also restart ntp (the way we have it configured; your mileage may vary).
* and a bunch of our IT guys have personal, at-home minecraft servers, which were also similarly affected.

Requesting Activation for Potential Events
When the possibility that a new national climate extreme has occurred, the NCEC will consider requests for activation to evaluate and decide the validity of the event through the following procedures:
NCEC chair (NCEI) will accept direct requests for activation only from the following official requesting contacts. Observers (or reporters of automated events) can report to any one of these contacts for forwarding to NCEC except all WFO observations or WFO received reports will be forwarded through one of their NWS Regional Headquarters (c).
- State climatologists
- Regional Climate Center directors
- NWS Regional Headquarters (any one of the following; Regional Climate Services Program Managers, Regional Warning Coordination Meteorologist, or Regional COOP Program Manager).
- NWS Climate Services Division (W/OS4)

- Time of event (date, month, year, and time of day)
- Place of event (distance and direction from known landmark, city, etc.) (e.g. 30 west of Sioux Falls, 2 miles south of Mt. Rushmore)
- Official requesters should screen the observation or report to ensure that the event falls under the charter of the NCEC's authority (i.e., a national climate record is in question as per list of existing records).
- Requests for NCEC activation will receive a response from the chair or backup member as soon as possible. NCEC should expedite responses to requests with "perishable" evidence such as hail or snow.

Cervelo's S3 climbs, corners, and sprints like a pure road machine—only faster. It's meticulously crafted to reduce drag from head tube to chainstays, employing wide tubing, a rear wheel cutout, integrated seatpost, and an aero fork. Even the position of your water bottles reduces turbulence. Race-ready geometry and the fork's stiff tapered steerer bolster your cornering prowess, while thin seatstays reduce road chatter so you stay fresh for the final sprint. Stiff and fast Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels complement the S3's already-impressive aero attributes. Smooth, accurate shifting is at the ready thanks to Shimano Ultegra components and a sleek Rotor crankset. Powerful Ultegra brakes, 3T's stiff bars and stem, and Cervelo's seamlessly integrated aero seatpost round out this speed-hungry machine.

Best Uses
Recently, I was in the market looking to upgrade from my entry level roadie to something more formidable and something that reflected my interest level in the sport. Then I found the Cervelo S3. What drew me to this bike initially was the name and overall looks of the bike. Then I got to researching this whole "aero vs. light" debate. Aero was supposed to be meant more for racing with less emphasis on comfort and light was supposed to be meant for longer days in the saddle. After researching Cervelo's "S" or aero line of bikes, I found out that their more recent versions have incorporated endurance features from the "R" series of Cervelo's light bikes. What you get is an excellent blend of both comfort for long rides and plenty of stiffness for speed and acceleration. This bike is FAST. What I mean by that is the bike is incredibly responsive to your input. Every ounce of power you give it gets transferred to the rear wheel. When riding the bike, I get the sensation that it just wants to go faster (and it certainly can if you give it the juice). The only downside to that (for me) is it makes it difficult to do a moderately-paced group ride. I just want to leave everyone behind!! Its like trying not to drive fast in a sports car on an open road. On the comfort front, it is top-notch for being an aero bike. Its full carbon frame absorbs a lot of the road shock. The seat stays adapted from the R line keep the back end soft enough without losing any stiffness which is where a lot of aero bikes fall short. If that isn't enough for you, the frame can accommodate 25mm tires which have added comfort benefits. If you're not into the "aero" positioning, the stem can be flipped to raise the overall handlebar height and put you in a more upright position. In the end, I am very impressed with this bike. I took it out for its first 50-mile ride and had a blast. My comfort level was incredible as I felt I could ride a century (never done one before). In the next year or so, I plan on adding carbon wheels to the mix which will send this bike into the next universe. I feel like the bike offers the perfect blend of comfort and stiffness and I think I will be happy with this bike for a very long time.
Best Uses
After doing a lot of homework (and test rides), I decided to go for the Cervelo S3 due to the well-rounded nature of this bike. First thing I have to say is this bike is FAST. As advertised, the aerodynamics of the S3 is solid and from a pure riding standpoint it not only is easy to accelerate, but the S3 also seems to maintain high speeds very well on flats. This bike is also wicked fast on drops. Cornering is a breeze and it was also not as difficult to climb with the bike as some have suggested. From a climbing perspective, I don't see a huge differential between the S3 and my Cannondale SuperSix, which is a fine road bike as well. The geometry of the S3 is the same as the S5 but the bigger fork definitely adds to the stiffness and the thin seatposts are excellent. It dampens the road on rough surfaces and this bike handles poor pavement very well. The Ultegra 6800 is solid and shifting is smooth as you'd expect from a new Shimano groupset. The stock Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels are a tad heavy but they are pretty tough and are perfectly fine as training wheels. I plan on getting a set of Carbones in the future, but for now this is just fine as I don't feel these wheels are a huge detriment to my current needs (but eventually I will upgrade the wheels to get more out of this excellent frame). If you're in the market for a great all around aero bike performance with some of the perks of a top notch road bike, I strongly recommend the S3.

After the Williston Red Devils sent the Union County Tigers out of the District Tournament on Friday night 47-40, and the Chiefland Indians knocked the Dixie County Bears out 47-44, the two winning teams were set for the District Championship game on Saturday night Feb. 8, in the Union County Gym.

Angoori Gulab Jamun is a traditional Indian dessert loved and enjoyed by every age group. Small spongy pearl shaped anguri/angoori gulab jamun are prepared with mawa/khoya and soaked in sugar syrup. They get their name Angoori, because of their size. Since they are petite and small just like "Angoor" (grapes) they are called Angoori Gulab Jamuns. Compared to regular gulab jamuns, they are way smaller in size.
RECIPE DETAIL – I have used homemade mawa#3 to make angoori Gulab jamuns. If using mawa prepared with ricotta cheese , make sure it's fully dried and all crumbly before adding maida. If mawa prepared with ricotta cheese feels way to moist, I would suggest slowly add an extra teaspoon of flour and keep testing the dough until it becomes comfortable to work with . DO NOT ADD TO MUCH FLOUR to the recipe. This will throw the whole recipe off-balance.
Milk is optional – it is only needed to give the dough a smooth finish. If the dough is smooth and binds well, then skip the milk. Add milk slowly, depending on the mawa quality, you may end up needing just a teaspoon or two of milk to bind the dough.
Secret to perfect round shaped gulab jamuns is how well they are kneaded. There should be no cracks or wrinkles in the shaped gulab jamuns. I prefer to roll them into long sticks, evenly divide them into equal sizes and shape them.
ADVICE – If the kneaded dough balls had cracks or wrinkles,they will start to disintegrate in oil. To avoid that – add an extra drop or two of milk to the dough and re-shape the balls without cracks and wrinkles. Keep them covered with a wet cloth to prevent drying.
This recipe can also be used for preparing traditional size gulab jamuns. Even though they look small they will swell up once they hit the warm oil/ghee. Compare the actual size and the fried size below. Pretty impressive..right !! PREP TIME includes the time required to shape these gulab jamun.
GULAB JAMUNS DID NOT RISE DURING FRYING – The dough was too hard. Over mixing of the dough results in hard gulab jamuns and they will not puff during frying, nor will the sugar syrup seep inside the jamuns. Make sure the dough is mixed just enough to make it smooth and is soft to touch.
Though small they are very flavorful! Make sure you brown them enough in the warm oil, this way they maintain their round shape when added to hot sugar syrup.
ADVICE – If the oil is too hot, gulab jamuns will start to disintegrate. Maintain the temperature, fry on medium low heat to ensure that the gulab jamuns do not break and get evenly cook. If cooked on a high heat – the outer layer will brown quickly leaving the inside uncooked and dense.
I prefer my small cuties (angoori gulab jamun) to sit for a while before dropping them in hot sugar syrup. This way they will be cooled inside out before they take a bath in that hot sauna – sugar syrup and the gulab jamuns will not break apart.
Also, it is important to prepare sugar syrup in a large bowl or kadhai so that there is enough room for all the cuties to soak. Allow them to soak for 30-40 minutes or longer. Once the soaking is in process please refrain from tossing and turning these gulab jamun as doing so may cause them to disintegrate.
Well all this writing and photography is making me really drool over these gulab jamuns. Time for me to pen down and enjoy these ANGOORI GULAB JAMUN – One can never be enough 🙂 .

Shopping Ideas The right cot mattress not only helps your little one get a sounder sleep, but it supports her as she grows.
What are the different kinds of cot mattresses on the market? When it comes to choosing a mattress for your baby's cot, you have three main choices: Foam cot mattresses are usually the cheapest and lightest option. Foam cot mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, but it's recommended you go for a firmer design to avoid the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS. How do you choose the best mattress for you and your baby?
It all depends on your price, how sensitive your baby is and personal preference on firmness. What size do cot mattresses come in? Some general advice for all cot mattresses: They come in two standard sizes: Make sure there isn't more than a 3cm gap between the mattress and sides of the cot-bed!
What are the best baby cot mattresses on the market? We've summed up our favourites here: It may be on the pricier side, but if you have a sensitive baby who is already showing signs of allergies, it's definitely worth it.
What's more, with a firm side for newborns, and a spring side for growing toddlers, this cot mattress will adapt to the needs of your baby as she grows.
It is so soft. Plus it has a reversible waterproof layer to keep it dry. This also helps reduce sweating and helps your baby maintain a constant temperature.
Guardrails are available as an accessory if your child needs extra security. Premature babies who may slump need particular care when travelling in a car seat. I was quite eager to get back to normality, in terms of my sleeping situation.
Natural Airstream wool will give your baby a comfortable night's sleep. This has made an immeasurable improvement on my life. I just wish I'd found it sooner. One firm side perfect for under 18 months, and one softer for your growing toddler.
Made from a combination of natural latex, coconut coir, unbleached cotton and fleece wool, it's eco-friendly and chemical free. It's suitable from birth, and has an easily removable layer system for fuss-free washing.
Whatsmore, the adjustable waterproof liner means that it can be moved as your baby grows. This supportive mattress is a great choice for long-lasting comfort. It didn't bend too much like some cheaper quality mattresses do.
Having tried it out myself on the floor it seemed firm yet flexible and I think a young child would have a great night's sleep on it. For the price, I think you are getting a lot for your money.
