Calpundit is less than convinced that Blogs continue to outperform print and electronic media, but he does suggest that they can serve an excellent role in highlighting issues and rounding up news on a topic. I would add to this 'provide reflective analysis'. An excellent case in point is informed comment where University of Michigan history professor Juan Cole provides interesting background analysis on Iraq. For example:
My reasoning in blaming the Baath Party for the (Najaf) bombing:
I don't believe that Muqtada al-Sadr or his followers would risk damaging the Shrine of Imam `Ali, among the holiest sites in Shiite Islam, with a huge truck bomb. They are if anything overly sensitive to the holiness of Shiite symbols. I know it is easy for secularized Westerners to be cynical about an argument that "he wouldn't do that." But I really do not think someone with his views and context would.............
In contrast, this move makes perfect sense for Saddam loyalists. They have not scrupled to damage the shrine in the past, when they put down the 1991 uprising. Saddam sent out a videotape around August 15 calling on the Shiite clergy to declare jihad against the Americans. All of the major Shiite clerics, including Baqir al-Hakim rejected and derided this call. I believe that this bombing was the Saddam loyalists' response to that rebuttal. It also punishes Baqir al-Hakim for cooperating with the Americans and for his years of guerrilla attacks on the Baath from Iran.
The Najaf bombing looks an awful lot like the bombing of the Jordanian embassy and the bombing of the UN headquarters. I now think all three are the work of Saddam loyalists, not of Sunni radicals with al-Qaeda links. All three targeted key de facto allies of the US, and have resulted in isolating it further. The Red Cross, Oxfam, and other aid agencies have much reduced their operations after the bombing of the UN headquarters, and IMF and World Bank officials have left, postponing important economic measures. Major Shiite clerics other than al-Hakim and his brother Abdul Aziz have refused direct contact with the Americans, and this reluctance is likely to have just been reinforced.
My considered opinion is that Saddam and the Baath loyalists have reverted to their old 1960s cell structure and are carefully planning out a series of high-profile attacks that have great strategic yield. The Baath wasn't much as a military power in the 1990s, but as masters of dirty politics they still have no peer. Ask Abdel Karim Qasim, the Arif brothers, and the thousands of dead among the al-Da`wa Party officers and rank and file.

Kyle's choosing a movie at random means that this week's discussion will be about the Syfy/Asylum co-production, 2012: Zombie Apocalypse. Lincoln gets mad at the lack of lore adherence, Kyle gets mad at the lack of geographic adherence, and they both get mad at Taryn Manning's lack of good acting adherence. Other topics include: Vermont, Game of Thrones, convenient weapons placement, the back of Ving Rhames' head, and crows flying. CGI tigers may or may not make an appearance as well.

With over twenty years in the banking sector, Glenn started 8020 Financial Management in 2004 having identified a niche requirement for outsource financial services in the SME market.
Glenn is an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers and during his banking career held several management roles, latterly with regional responsibility for a large portfolio of SME clients in the East Midlands. It was this direct interface with the SME market that acted as a springboard for the creation of 8020 and continues to inform our powerful and effective 8020 approach today, now managing in excess of £75m of combined SME client turnover across the network.
Glenn's current portfolio include a vehicle recovery business operating across four sites, where as an integral member of the management team his background has positioned him perfectly to lead the raising of credit lines of £2.5m with banks and Asset Finance providers. This has delivered an increase in turnover by 200% over five years.
Working with a training provider across two sites, Glenn undertook a rigorous business review resulting in the introduction of a full budgeting process and a new accounting system. His interventions alone have reduced annual accounting costs by £50k per annum. Glenn subsequently managed the buyout of two of the four director/shareholders.
Whilst working with a confectionary wholesaler (£4.5m turnover) Glenn reduced stockholdings by 25%, boosting cash by £100k; he also initiated stock delivery controls to save £10k per annum. The visibility of accurate financial information enabled Glenn to negotiate a short-term funding facility, generating a £60k profit as a result of the company being able to take advantage of large wholesale opportunities.

To Circ with Love?
I have no religious tradition and I couldn't care less about my hypothetical son's hypothetical penis not looking like daddy's. However, recent studies in Africa have demonstrated that circumcised men have a lower risk of acquiring HIV. Even though HIV incidence is much lower in the U.S., that's enough to steer me nominally in favor of circumcision as it might apply to me as a parent for now.

We chose not to circumcise Harrison, as we are not Jewish and have no cultural or religious imperatives concerning the removal of foreskin. I really didn't see the point in cutting off a part of my son's body unnecessarily. Would you have your daughter's clitoris removed? Or any part of her genitalia? Of course not. Then why a son's? That was my rationale, anyway.
I'm not too concerned about the HIV risk, as Harrison will NEVER EVER have sex without using a condom (unless he's trying to get his wife pregnant!!!!!!!!). Heh.
- Greg said...
I think it's good whenever parents make an educated decision on circumcision and I pass no judgment on either course of action because there's not enough evidence at this point to suggest that circumcision is absolutely right or wrong.
However, I don't think circumcision is analogous to removing a girl's clitoris. The latter is done for the primary purpose of reducing a girl's capacity for sexual pleasure. The male equivalent of removing the clitoris would be more akin to lopping off the entire penis head.
By contrast, the most recent and exhaustive evidence to date links circumcision to significant reduction in HIV risk, not to mention reduced risk of other STDs and urinary tract infections. Although it's impossible for a man who was circumcised as a baby to know what unsnipped sex is like, the overwhelming majority of snipped men like their penises just fine and experience no lasting ill effects as a result of being circumcised.
- booberrypancake said...
No, I understand that the practices are not philosophically/pragmatically analogous, and that clitoridectomies are (from a Western perspective) barbaric and unnecessarily cruel. What I was getting at was that in my hormone-addled state in pregnancy and post-birth, that was my logic for opting against circumcision. (and really, I can't stand to see my son with the merest abrasion on his skin -- how could I have withstood cutting off his foreskin?)
I'm still not personally sold on circumcision for the prevention of HIV and other STDs. I think that personal responsibility in one's sexual practices is likely to have more long-term benefits than simply snipping off the foreskin.
Again, this is up to each family's discretion; my husband and I simply chose to be vigilant in teaching our son good hygiene/peenie maintenance, and when the time comes, to teach him responsible and respectful sexual behavior. How that will happen remains to be seen -- I reckon we've got a good 15 years or so to draw up an appropriate lesson plan.
It's fine and dandy to claim personal responsibility in one's sexual practices is likely to have more long-term benefits, but have you looked around lately?
This country has worked hard to remove any semblance of personal responsibility from people's minds. It's always someone else's responsibility to protect you, apparently. (Gotta love lawyers)Most people wouldn't even know how to use a condom.
I commend you on your intent to instill the concept of responsibility in your child, but I'm afraid you may be in the minority.
- David Beebe said...
Um, I remember in biology that basically the major advantage to circumcision is cleanliness. Young people are not subject to the same type of sweat (e.g. ammonia, urine, other chemical excretions) that full grown adults get down their and under their armpits, so it may not matter as long as they bathe often. However, as an active adult (non-Jewish, circumcised) I am grateful my parents had it done. one day without a shower is already bad enough. - D. Beebe
- David said...
Yeah, well my wife's Jewish so I'm going to be looking at a circumcision-as-catered-affair scenario. Sheesh.
Okay, I'm going to go now - and try to forget that I ever read the phrase "lopping off the entire penis head."
I wasn't circumcised and my dick is still attached of course it is so huge it grow out of the foreskin years ago.

Cloudflare Pressured To End Services To Hamas Propaganda Site
Cybersecurity company Cloudflare is under pressure from an Israeli legal group to stop providing its services to the terrorist organization, Hamas. Calls to pull the plug on Hamas come after Cloudflare terminated its support for the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website.
Following the events in Charlottesville, Cloudflare ended its relationship with the neo-Nazi website. The decision, which violated the company's own content-neutral policies, was a "tipping point" for its CEO Matthew Prince, who said that he woke up one morning and decided he'd had enough.
Critics of Cloudflare's termination of its relationship with the Daily Stormer say that the company's actions may be a threat to freedom of speech, prompting members of the Trump administration to call for tech platforms like Google, Facebook and YouTube to be regulated as public utilities.
The move has opened the door for organizations like the Israeli legal group Shurat Hadin to lobby for Cloudflare to do the same thing with websites and accounts tied to Hamas.
Jerusalem Post reported on Friday that the organization called on Cloudflare to shutter Hamas' PR and propaganda website, Qassam.ps. Hamas is classified as a terrorist organization in multiple nations and international organizations, including Israel, the United States, and the European Union for its murder of civilians and terror tactics.
"By providing Hamas support, Cloudflare aids and abets terrorist attacks and make itself liable for the dangerous violence being perpetrated," Shurat Hadin president Nitsana Darshan-Leitner said.
Darshan-Leitner added that an executive order under the Bill Clinton administration prohibits American companies from doing business with terrorist organizations, which includes Hamas. The organization says it will pursue legal action if Cloudflare fails to respond to the request.
"There is no difference between providing social media services and Internet services, and providing money, weaponry and financial services to a terrorist organization," Darshan-Leitner said.
Cloudflare did not respond for comment at the time of publication.

BBC Has a Few "Voices from E. Ukraine"
I wish we had more of this. BBC runs a few quotes from E. Ukrainian residents. Clearly some area afraid of the pro-Russian demonstrators and "activists". While I have no brief for extremist Ukrainian nationalists, even if Maidan were a coup, and it is more complicated than that, that would be no excuse for dismembering Ukraine. Especially given that it is unclear that the majority in E. Ukraine want unification with Russia. If there is to be a referendum, it had better be overseen by the UN or OSCE. The Crimean referendum run by the Russians was obviously rigged … 97% support for joining the RF is completely unrealistic. I would guess that real support for unifying with the RF in Crimea was around 70%, no higher.

Nah but actually mine was really awesome. I went to the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute to take 16 credits (granted by George Mason University) in Conservation Biology.
Baaaasically it was amazing. Life changing. Stellar - if you will. And it really got me set on the grad-school, exotic animal track instead of the vet-school pups and kitty cats track. Not that dogs and cats and vets suck. I just cry like a baby when anything dies. I'm a weak human being damnit. Anyway at SCBI I did some pretty cool stuff. Like tackle a deer. It's for science people. I don't feel like explaining. PETA will probably come after me and be like "WTF Y U NO humanely weigh and measure deer body length with yo EYESSSS" and I'll be all like STFU. On mention of PETA, I just gotta preach for a minute. Maybe you don't care about critical thinking and live inside your own brain and listen to whatever anyone tells you and don't question anything you can skip ahead. Actually, you can stop reading this blog. Cuz you'll probably be a jerk. BUT for those of you that DO care about the intellectual integrity of our world I ask you this: PLEASE question everything - not to a paranoid, the government is controlling/watching our every move extent - but in a do your homework kind of way. How do you do your homework? Why I'm glad you asked! Read. Cautiously. Get both sides of an opinion. I read books on biology and God from a religious point of view in addition to an atheist point of view. For example: Finding Darwin's God by Kenneth R. Miller - he's a believer. Or The Greatest Show on Earth by DEFINITE atheist Richard Dawkins. The same goes for Paleo and ALL other diets. Everyone thinks they have the right answer. Just make sure you get both sides of an argument and fact check.
So now for a bit on what I've been eating. Last night I had a Barramundi filet seasoned with white and black sesame seeds and pepper. Barramundi is a rad white fish. Also known as the Asian Sea Bass, this little sucker is from the waters of Australia. It's sustainable, and, nutritionally, it's like a tilapia-salmon hybrid. You can learn more about it here if you'd like! All you do for this guy is season, wrap him up in foil, and bake at 400*F for 20 minutes. Literally - so. easy.
My lil' barramundi - is it weird that I'm affectionately addressing my food now? - was accompanied by a salad inspired by what I'm obsessed with at this place called "SweetGreen". It's back home though in Northern VA and so I can't have it here :( wah. Basically, SweetGreen can make anyone love a salad. Even Mark who gets this ah-mazing chicken caesar - definitely not paleo. But a ton of their salad add-ins are local, sustainable, DELICIOUS, and did I say delicious already? I always "build-my-own" so I decided I might as well try to replicate it at my apartment because it can't be that hard right? I always get this carrot chili vinaigrette that is aahhhmazing but they don't post their recipes ANYWHERE. Fail. So I made my own. It's spicy - if you're a little b*tch, which I can be - and you don't need much at all. I made a ginormous salad and used waaaay too much and I still have a significant amount left.
Carrot-Beet-Radish-Sprouty Salad w/ Jalepeno Carrot Vinaigrette
- As much Salad base as your heart desires (I used some crazy spring-mix but usually use baby arugula)
- 1/4 cup beets, quartered (raw or cooked)
- 1/4 cup carrots, sliced
- 1/4 cup radishes, sliced
- 1/3 cup kidney beans (if you're strict paleo you can omit this. I won't be offended)
- A few to several basil leaves, sliced vertically
- Handful of sprouts (I used alfalfa/radish)
- Pine nuts (or other nuts) - to taste aka 7 handfulls for ET
Jalepeno Carrot Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup hemp oil (or other oil, probably not olive oil though)
- 1/4 cup carrot juice (100% - make your own or purchase)
- 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 jalepeno, finely chopped (more if you're a BEAST, less if you're a baby)
- Powdered ginger, garlic powder, & chili powder to taste
- I did about 2 pinches each
Directions: Combine & whisk. Think you can handle that? I think so too.
Peeking behind the salad is a pile of TERRA brand sweet potato chips. Not shown to actual scale. I def ate like 4-7 more handfuls of those than I should have. That Synergy purple drank? Kombucha. Fermented mushroom vinegary tea drink with raw chia seeds in it. I'm addicted. I have been ever since I learned of the mother during my Mysterious Mushrooms & Magical Molds class. No, we did not trip on mushrooms for extra credit. Yes, it was one of the best classes I've taken at tech AND the professor I've just learned is a fellow CrossFitter!! How cool? I always thought Kombucha sounded Asian, but it's actually a Russian drink. It boasts of how it's the "elixer of life and longevity" or some hippie bullsh*t on the back. I just love the taste and the chia seeds are like a freaking party in your mouth. Ever had bubble tea and sloshed those tapioca balls around in your mouth? Chia seeds are 109257012984x more fun to play with.
Time to go play in the melting snow. Until later!

Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved, and Died under Nazi Occupation
Anne Sebba
In Nazi-occupied Paris, women faced different dangers from those imposed on men at the war front or in forced labor camps. Biographer Anne Sebba examines the experiences of many different women in this complex study of collaborators and resistors, rich and poor, Jewish and gentile. While striving to maintain a semblance of normality at home and among friends, many women also risked their freedom and even their lives on a daily basis. Sebba's chronicle offers a kaleidoscope of details depicting the fates of specific individuals. Paris history and World War II buffs will be especially pleased at the women's history recounted here.
The Plots Against Hitler
Danny Orbach
While several attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler are well known -- a 2008 film based on the Valkyrie plot starred Tom Cruise -- the extensive underground resistance within Germany is less familiar. In
The Plots Against Hitler
, historian Danny Orbach discusses the interconnected groups that tried to bring Hitler down between 1938 and 1943. Focusing on General Hans Oster, who was involved in several plots, and Claus von Stauffenberg of Operation Valkyrie fame, Orbach derives some of his material from newly available diaries and other documents. This study offers a compelling portrait of the conspirators' moral courage in the face of deadly risk.

Pearl Harbor: Controversy and Consequences
Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America's Fight over World War II, 1939-1941
Lynne Olson
Between 1939, following Germany's invasion of Poland, and December 1941, Americans were sharply divided about the prospect of joining the war in Europe. Leading the isolationist faction was aviator Charles Lindbergh, while President Franklin Roosevelt supported intervention. The debate intensified after Germany had conquered mainland Europe, leaving Britain as the final bulwark against the Third Reich's bid for world domination.
Those Angry Days
vividly recreates the intrigue, dirty tricks, and propaganda campaigns that preceded Pearl Harbor, which inexorably pulled the U.S. into the war. Author Lynne Olson's insights into the isolationist movement add value to this accessible account of the period.
Infamy: The Shocking Story of the Japanese-American Internment in World War II
Richard Reeves
, historian Richard Reeves draws on interviews with survivors and on personal records from the period to provide a thorough examination of America's World War II internment of Japanese nationals legally residing in the U.S. and Japanese-American citizens. He offers disturbing depictions of white Americans' prejudice against the Japanese and the fear and shame the internees experienced. While he also describes positive responses that mitigate the darkness of this historical episode, his "authoritative" (

) narrative pulls no punches. For another compelling account of American treatment of foreign nationals during the war, try Jan Jarboe Russell's

Cultures of War: Pearl Harbor / Hiroshima / 9-11 / Iraq
John W. Dower
Cultures of War
, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian John Dower offers an eye-opening discussion of wars involving the U.S. during the past 75 years. He persuasively argues that four crucial events and their historical contexts -- Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, 9/11, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq -- share characteristics that make them ironically similar. While his analysis may be controversial, this study offers well-researched and extensively footnoted examples and raises incisive questions about leadership and cultural attitudes that drive decisions to go to war and sustain popular support for it.
calls this a "forceful indictment of warlike attitudes."
Pearl Harbor: FDR Leads the Nation into War
Steven M. Gillon
Although U.S. leaders expected their country would ultimately join the Allies in World War II and knew the Japanese were planning an assault somewhere on American-held territory, the attack on Pearl Harbor came as a surprise. Focusing on the hours after the devastating assault, historian Steven Gillon details how President Franklin Roosevelt and his close advisors dealt with the news and considered how America would respond. Illuminating the drama of their deliberations with contextual information and biographies of key figures,
Pearl Harbor
supplies an "excellent introduction to Roosevelt and his times" (

Pearl Harbor Christmas: A World at War, December 1941
Stanley Weintraub
Japan's brutal December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor left Americans both reluctant to embrace the season of joy soon to come and longing for the feelings of peace and hope the Christmas holiday traditionally symbolizes.
Pearl Harbor Christmas
presents a thought-provoking cultural chronicle of how great world leaders and everyday people alike navigated this difficult season. Starting with Winston Churchill's precipitous arrival in Washington on December 22, this insightful chronicle weaves together Adolf Hitler's sarcasm as revealed in Nazi dispatches, wistful Christmas advertising, and personal observations from those involved in U.S.-British negotiations at the end of 1941. World War II buffs can't go wrong with this snapshot of a critical period.

Just because this blog is called scribbling beautiful grace.
Doesn't mean I always do it.
Yes. To the scribbling.
But so often no.
To the grace.
I am a recipient gladly.
Of Grace.
Undeserved favor. Unfathomable love.
From God.
A word costing so much.
But so often.
Taken so lightly.
Because I think I know best.
How the days should look.
The running of things. What I want.
And what He should do.
What about that?
When there's not enough to suit me.
Disappointment running hard and deep.
The constant striving.
To make the happy.
The un-worship of it all crashing down.
Unsettling. Confusing.
The whys bumping into each other.
On a daily basis.
But then.
The God-That-Is
getting my attention.
And not letting go.
And me.
Having to realign my picture.
Of God. Of Grace.
Unraveling the illusions and the subtle lies.
The putting myself at the center of happy.
And the good life.
Because a relationship.
This grace thing. And He.
Full of glory.
Redefining happy.
I am finding sometimes in the pain.
When our lack outweighs the lies.
The pages turn.
And we see. Really see.
This Giver of Grace.
Worthy of worship.
And trust.
All the time.
In my search.
C.S. Lewis reminding me.
Do I really think
he could be the grandfather
of the universe,
who, when the day is done,
'A good time was had by all'?
Is such a thing even possible on any level?
If we stop to think about it.
The ramifications of such a system.
Would we even want this for our children?
For ourselves?
A benevolent despot. A grandfather figure.
Or One.
Whose divine goodness
and purposes go far beyond our imaginings?
Who suffered the most
to give me Grace.
All the time.
In my lack. In my need.
In the deep dark of the night.
When I am scribbling darkness
without even realizing it.
Having to catch myself. Redirect.
C.S. Lewis says it best.
"A man can no more
diminish God's glory
by refusing to worship Him
than a lunatic
can put out the sun
by scribbling
the word 'darkness'
on the walls
of his cell."
What about that?
God's glory surrounding and I scribble darkness.
The un-worship.

Unhappy Spurs target set for exit
German international, Lukas Podolski is almost certainly set for an exit away from Bayern Munich after speaking about the club underrating him.
Competing for places up front at Bayern with Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni, Podolski has struggled to make a huge impact since joining the club from FC Koln in 2006. However, despite his misfortune at the Allianz Arena the 23 year old has clearly proved himself on the international stage bagging 28 goals in just over 50 appearances for the German side.
Podolski is attending Euro 2008 with the Germans at the moment as they prepare for a heated semi final with competition underdogs Turkey, so it is unlikely that there will be any more advancements on his future before the conclusion of their campaign.
Juande Ramos is thought to be planning a move for the Bayern number 11 but it is thought that because of his good form at Euro 2008 his price tag could rise top somewhere in the region of £15 million.

The role of the school system is to equip young people with the skills necessary for their personal and career development. Yet in Germany schools only partially succeed in providing their pupils with an adequate basic education.
Every year Germany's dual system of vocational training offers around two thirds of all school-leavers the prospect of learning one of some 350 trades. Currently, just under 1.6 m trainees in nearly 500,000 businesses are taking advantage of this offer. Combining practical training at work with continued education at a vocational school, the dual system enables young people in Germany to be integrated into the workforce relatively successfully, as the low level of youth unemployment relative to other countries shows.
Additionally, there is a need for improvement at the interfaces between vocational training, further training and tertiary education. Too often skills which have already been acquired are not recognised. Moreover, the traditional German belief in apprenticeships does not extend to further training. Companies are setting a good example in this respect, investing an average of over a thousand euros a year on the further training of their employees. However, the challenges of demographic change and technological progress mean that such measures will have to be expanded and vocational training systematically developed if the economy is not to run out of skilled workers.
German universities and technical colleges are bursting at the seams. The lecture halls are overcrowded and there are too few lecturers. This is one reason why many young people either do not attend a university at all, take much longer to study than planned, or drop out altogether.
This strategy could be effectively thwarted by introducing a voucher scheme financed by the states according to their need for academics. School leavers would receive an education voucher to be redeemed at the university of their choice. The scheme would strengthen the hand of students as consumers, reward attractive universities and the bill would be footed by the states which benefited most.
Any general education should include knowledge of the basic principles of the market economy and of working life, but this is still too small a part of the standard curriculum in German schools.
German business is desperate for skilled staff with academic and technical backgrounds, particularly the mathematicians, IT specialists, natural scientists and technicians referred to collectively in Germany by the acronym MINT.
Companies attempt to lure scarce applicants with high pay. Increasingly, too, they are training existing staff to the required level. Yet business cannot end the shortage on its own. Universities must produce more technical graduates. According a higher importance to technical subjects in schools would generate more interest, especially among girls. Last but not least, the German states must invest more in their tertiary institutions. Currently, too many MINT students are dropping out due to the poor conditions they have to study under. All these measures are expensive but they would pay off in the long term - even for the state, since technical graduates are usually good tax payers.
Welches Bundesland hat das beste Bildungssystem? Wer hat sich verschlechtert? Wo liegen die Reformpotentiale? Der Bildungsmonitor untersucht die Bildungspolitik der Bundesländer.
Early learning provides a solid foundation for success later in life, at school and in one's career. Developments which are missed out on in childhood are expensive, if not impossible, to make good later.
In the long term, pre-school education leads to a better-trained population. The number of those on the labour market without occupational training sinks and the number of graduates rises. As a result, more people find jobs and less money must be spent on unemployment benefit and making good missing vocational skills.

tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83229253806676988012018-03-07T07:11:40.656-08:00Bugs in My LettuceGray email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322925380667698801.post-9770435471881878372013-07-15T15:35:00.002-07:002013-07-15T15:40:39.969-07:00Fava beans and a nice chianti

Our CSA provided us with 4 pounds of fava beans, which felt like an overwhelming amount for newbie fava bean-eaters. Once we shelled them and peeled their skins off, we ended up with about 3 cups of beans, which was a bit underwhelming considering the work we put into them.

See? The relatively empty bowl on the right has the edible bits.

First, we had to pull the beans out of their pods, which took about 20 minutes with both of us doing it.

Then I blanched the beans in boiling water for what was supposed to be 4 minutes, but ended up being more like 7 because they were so gigantic. At that point the skin on each bean was all puckered up, like this...

We had to pull the skin off each bean, which was time consuming at first, until Josh discovered a great technique: squeeze the bean at one end, pinch off a tiny bit of the skin at the other end, and the bean will pop right out into the bowl.

We spent about 10 minutes doing this, so altogether it took an hour of our combined time for 3 cups of fava beans. It was actually really fun to shell them, though, so we didn't mind spending time on it.

Then I made a delicious fava bean pasta recipe from our CSA's blog, which I'll include here with some slight modifications based on what happened during my trial run...

1 1/2 cups shelled, blanched fava beans
1/2 large onion, diced
1 cup diced carrot and/or fennel
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 slices bacon, diced (I didn't include this, and I should have)
1 1/3 cup tubetti, ditalini, or other small pasta (I used fresh orecchiette from the farmer's market)
3 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan
Salt and pepper
1-2 tablespoons basil or mint (optional)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and/or fennel and a few pinches of salt and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often. You may need to reduce the heat a bit. Now add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, stirring well and then simmer for about 10 minutes uncovered. (I used fresh, not dried, pasta, so I let the veggie brother simmer for 7 minutes before adding the pasta for the last 3 minutes.) Add the fava beans, and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. (The original recipe said 3-4 minutes, but it took about 15 for me.) Add the cream and a generous amount of black pepper. Cook uncovered for about 3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the parmesan and the herbs, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a glass of chianti and watch Silence of the Lambs if you think you can handle it.Gray email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322925380667698801.post-55003086093983878322013-07-11T17:40:00.001-07:002013-07-15T15:36:00.551-07:00Veggie overload

These two grocery bags are full of veggies that we have to eat in the next week. Normally we aren't quite so ambitious in our produce consumption, but we skipped last week's CSA delivery and got a double share this week, so we are rolling in:

3 pounds of beets
2 pounds of carrots
4 pounds of fava beans
2 fennel bulbs
2 garlic bulbs
2 heads of kale
2 heads of lettuce
2 pounds of squash

We get our CSA veggies from Sauvie Island Organics. It's our first time using a CSA, and we're loving it. We paid a lot up front ($500), but for 28 weeks we'll get a bag of fresh organic veggies every week. Since it works out to $18 a week, it's actually turned out to be a bargain, and now I don't have to deal with buying all these veggies at the farmer's market.

Any recipe suggestions? Fava beans are entirely new to me, and I've only eaten fennel a few times, so I don't know what to do with them.Gray firstname.lastname@example.com

Up to 57 grantees are expected to receive funding under a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) program designed to assist minority populations with substance use disorders and either having or at risk of HIV infection.
The Targeted Capacity Expansion-HIV Program: Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations at High Risk for HIV/AIDS also seeks to move the nation toward meeting the ambitious "90-90-90" goal in HIV care by 2020. Under that scenario, 90% of all individuals living with HIV will know their status, 90% of diagnosed individuals will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy, and 90% of those receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression.
Local public and private nonprofit entities that provide services for substance use and co-occurring disorders and that have linkages to primary HIV services are eligible for funding. The program's total funding is up to $142.9 million over five years.
The application deadline is April 21. Prospective applicants must register with the National Institutes of Health's Electronic Research Administration (eRA) Commons as well as the System for Award Management and Grants.gov.

This version has much better shading than the previous one and is, overall, a much nicer paint job. I think he's missing some pop though, which a few more highlights could really help with.
What do you think of the new plastic 'jacks? Personally, I'm finding that the metal ones look a lot more Khadoran. The new ones seem very sleek and I don't like the proportions as much.
Thanks, Simon! I'm going to add a few more highlights. I already did so last night on the Destroyer, and will hopefully have a chance on the Jugger tonight. As to the new Jacks, I figured I'd post on that today.

One aspect that almost all noir films contain is the femme fatale character. The femme fatale is a stronger woman that has the ability to pull the trigger, unlike Ilsa from Casablanca. Phyllis' criminal side is first revealed when she suggests that she wants to kill her husband and cash in on an insurance claim. By the end of the movie, it is obvious that Phyllis is pure evil. She also killed the first Mrs. Dietrichson, and planned to kill Lola, Walter, and Nino. Phyllis' only motivation is money and the joy that she finds in being evil. Such wickedness is not cool. The character of the femme fatale is quite different from the typical female role in earlier movies.
Walter Neff has his own inner evil that allows him to be convinced to murder Mr. Dietrichson. Walter has been an insurance salesman for several years and has seen how many people have failed in the attempt to file fraudulent claims. Walter thinks that he has a perfect plan to reach success with a false claim. Walter loses his cool in the end because his plan fails.
In the end, Phyllis and Walter have lost their cool, and the only remaining cool character is Mr. Keyes. Mr. Keyes plays the role of a detective in the form of the claims manager for the insurance company. Mr. Keyes is determined to solve the mystery of what really happened to Mr. Dietrichson, in order to keep up his reputation and to save the company money. Although Mr. Keyes is essentially the good guy in this film, he is not motivated by justice or morals, which adds to the hopelessness and lack of morality. The film noir style revolves around the darkness not only in lighting, but in theme. Mr. Keyes' face is lit much brighter than the other characters, but if was a truly good and moral character, it would ruin the noir style.

RIVER NORTH — Calling this year's online survey "one of the most heavily contested" in the organization's history, the River North Residents Association has selected the lineup for its seventh annual "Movies in the Park" summer series.
The residents association partners with the Chicago Park District to organize two free movie screenings a month in A. Montgomery Ward Park at 630 N. Kingsbury St. for a total of six summer screenings on the association's dime.
To sweeten the deal, they'll provide popcorn, too.
The 2013 movie schedule:
June 18: "X-Men: First Class"
June 25: "Back to The Future"
July 9: "Dodgeball"
July 23: "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
Aug. 6: "Hotel Transylvania"
Aug. 20: "Hugo"
"It's like a block party, it really is," Paulette Rodriguez, vice president of the association, said when the survey launched in February. "It's a great amenity. We have this beautiful park, so we try to take advantage of it as much as we can."
Films start around sunset, and moviegoers will be provided printed programs and trash bags. Alcohol and dogs are both prohibited on park property.

OM in the News: Walmart and the Bangladesh Factory Fire
The garment factory fire in Bangladesh last week that killed 112 workers was a horrible tragedy. Emergency exits were padlocked and fire engines could not reach the blaze through dense and overcrowded roads. But the question for your students becomes: what does Walmart do with its clothing suppliers like this one? The Wall Street Journal (Nov.27, 2012) writes: "Walmart said the factory was no longer authorized to make clothes for the retailer, and that it had cut ties to a supplier that subcontracted with the factory without its authorization."
Walmart's ethical-sourcing department claims it notified the factory last year that it had found it to be "high-risk" and yanked its business–yet the chain's clothing was still being produced there when the factory went up in flames. In its 2012 report on global responsibility, the retailer said it had stopped working with 49 factories in Bangladesh because of fire-safety issues. (Garment factory fires have killed over 600 people in the past 6 years).
Labor activists are scolding global companies for tolerating such terrible conditions in Bangladesh. The Journal (Nov.29, 2012) adds that Walmart is well aware of the reputational risks of sweatshop sourcing, trying hard to monitor working conditions among their suppliers. "But determined factory owners, abetted by local authorities can always fool inspectors." Worth noting is the fact that a country of Bangladesh's population—approximately 150 million—is greatly dependent on a single industry in which it has no natural advantage. Garment exports earn around $19 billion per year, accounting for 80% of total export. Clothing is Bangladesh's only major manufactured product.
The garment industry there enjoys special labor rules, including a ban on unionization, and regulated pay rates that depress wages in the name of competitiveness. In this respect, Bangladesh is like China and other East Asian tiger economies, except that Bangladesh hasn't pushed the economy further up the value chain. Instead, it has skewed investment toward the garment industry.
Discussion questions:
1. What is Walmart's responsibility in dealing with global suppliers' safety issues?
2. Why does Bangladesh support this industry so heavily? Why is it afraid of Ghana?

— Casee Marie, Literary Inklings
"It is a humbling book, an empowering book, and a book we all need to read – slowly and repeatedly as we arrive at the realization of the beauty of who and what and where we are. Brilliant."
— Grady Harp, HALL OF FAME, Top 50 Amazon Reviewer, VINE VOICE
"What can I say—this book is captivating and thought-provoking. It will make you smile, laugh, possibly cry, and definitely stretch your mind. Expect to be inspired and get closer to who you truly are. If you're looking for a book to stimulate your mind and awaken your soul—this is it."
—Tova Payne, Author of Eat Think & Live Rich: A Guide to Health and Happiness, www.tovapayne.com
"The writing itself is rich yet fluid, astounding in its complexity yet simple to grasp. It is almost immediately clear that this work is as much an emotional endeavor as it is an intellectual one and so we are constantly learning whilst relating to the experience. If you are searching for answers and are yet to find any that satisfy your need or curiosity, I highly recommend Unbound Intelligence."

Guided Local Search for Optimal GPON/FTTP Network Design
Fibre optic access networks are of increased popularity among network operators. Many types of fibre network are being deployed globally to satisfy the ever increasing users bandwidth requirements. The rate of deployments of such networks is expected to increase in coming years, moreover this requires cost efficient, reliable and robust network designs. Despite the relative complex structure of these networks, designs are mostly done manually, thus design quality is not optimal. In this paper we will introduce and propose a tree based modelling scheme and will show how the metaheuristic search method Guided Local Search can be used to automate the design of FTTP/GPON networks. The design optimisation will mainly focus on reducing the deployment cost i.e finding the optimal location, type and quantity of fibre optic equipment in order to reduce the capital expenditure (CAPEX) of such deployment projects. Our proposed model builds a flexible optimisation framework, and results of the GLS algorithm compared to simple local search and Simulated Annealing show consistent optimal results.

Kellogg's has named Jonathan Myers as its new UK managing director.
The Trafford Park-based cereal manufacturer said the former Procter & Gamble man will take up the role in January, almost a year after the previous incumbent Greg Peterson left the company.
Flemming Sundoe, the vice-president of Kellogg's Nordic and German business has been interim boss since Mr Petersen stepped down.
Mr Myers has enjoyed a 20-year career with P&G, most recently as general manager of its oral and feminine care division in China.
The 42-year-old has been based overseas for the last seven years.
Kellogg's Europe president Stephen Twaddell said: "Jonathan has led and executed trade strategies on market-leading brands such as Pantene, Head & Shoulders and Vidal Sassoon and has significant experience in business development.
"Following the acquisition of Iams in 1999, he was instrumental in working in a number of UK and global roles to drive growth and expansion of the range and category."
Kellogg's employs more than 650 staff at its Greater Manchester UK head office and factory, where it makes Corn Flakes and other cereals.

You have probably noticed this many times where you generally distribute the good word about crypto. It's not unstable? What goes on if the price failures? So far, several POS programs gives free conversion of fiat, relieving some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will soon be hesitant to hold any. We need to find a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that provide long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to flow without interruption, in the right area at the right time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet together these businesses determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to discover how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present inherent difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to comprehend how the process works in and of itself, but it's basically vital that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we know them now where Governments and banks can just select to print endless amounts (I am not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
A lot of people would rather use a money deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place within your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers argue that there is real worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth climbs due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some form of reward in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators just don't comprehend the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the process by which it is transacted. All deals over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything short term where your web visitors may dispute or demand a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In practice, many professionals will be wise to make use of a fee processor, because of the irreversible character of crypto currency orders, you must make sure that stability is challenging. With any type of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially access your individual recommendations and therefore grab your money. However, you most likely will never obtain it back. It's quite crucial for you to follow some excellent secure and safe procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will guard you from many of these damaging events.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of shares won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This alternative also creates a steady flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the reward.
In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be traded being a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies say that sort of online money is not handled with a central bank system and it is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a restricted number of products, this moneyis benefit is dependant on market forces, permitting homeowners to business over cryptocurrency deals.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is nothing more than a representation of worth, but there isn't any actual tangible kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.

Hybrid Pass Up – What Is TAN Opportbronze
Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it's a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a reasonable investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and affirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to bring in transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
