Detroit's crackdown on delinquent water customers bubbled over with a public protest following concerns voiced by a federal judge overseeing the city's historic bankruptcy case.
Hundreds of people descended on downtown Hart Plaza, with many migrating from a conference for progressive Democrats at the nearby Cobo Conference Center.
"We need more water, not less water," said Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers, addressing the crowd Friday through a bullhorn on a makeshift stage.
Opposition has been building after officials at Detroit's Water and Sewerage Department in March said they would shut off water service to delinquent customers.
Critics, including a United Nations panel, have said that water is a basic human right, especially in the nation's largest city to file for bankruptcy protection, one year ago.
One organizer said nine people were arrested Friday trying to block water shutoffs. A police spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment.
The rally took place in the shadow of Detroit's city hall, where the city's emergency manager works.
Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr said in an interview Friday that the water-shutoff approach wasn't misguided, but a sign of the city's effort to provide basic services in a fiscally responsible fashion. Detroit must fix its basic services by making sure that it doesn't allow people to tap into public water illegally or ignore their water bills, he said.
The city of about 688,000 has more than 175,000 active residential water accounts, including about 80,000 past-due accounts owing $43 million. The average past-due amount is $540.
About 15,000 customers have had shutoffs because of nonpayment.
But water-department officials said up to 60% of those whose water had been turned off had service restored within 48 hours after paying overdue bills or getting into a payment program.
City officials say an 8.7% increase in water rates for Detroit residents was prompted in part by those who receive water but don't pay for those services.
One of the nation's largest, the city water department serves a broad swath of metropolitan Detroit and almost 40% of Michigan's population
"There is no rethinking of the strategy. It's working," said water-department spokesman Gregory Eno.
He said the number of people in a water-bill payment plan has grown to 17,000 from 11,000, a sign that more people were taking responsibility. The city also started a new assistance program for needy customers about 10 days ago, he said
Even so, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes said this week in court that the water issue was generating bad publicity and told the department to offer more repayment options.

Apple has released QuickTime 6.5.
It now supports with 3GP2 and AMC audio thus works better in contents creation for cellular phones from 'au'.
As I have started moblogging on nobilog2 and sends a lot of packets over the phone, now I want CDMA 1x WIN, but if I do so, my life would be too complicated; also I want not only the CDMA 1x WIN but also the EZNaviWalk, the GPS feature which is only available on some non-1x-WIN phones.

NTT DoCoMo has announced FOMA 900i series; the W-CDMA cell phone they would release in February 2004.
They support Flash and bigger (in file size) Java applications, etc. They come with famouse game such as Final Fantasy. DoCoMo claims they may not look as wierd as some phones from other company (i.e. INFOBAR) but they are better designed; well, maybe functionally yes, but I wonder if they are emotionally well designed. Unfortunately, I wasn't moved.
As a Mac user, the most interesting bit of information from this new FOMA announcement was F900iT which will be released at even later date (some time in Spring); "T" seems to stands for technology. It has touch panel (nice!) and best of all bluetooth built-in (finally!). At this point, they haven't disclosed which profile they will be supporting. But I am very much looking forward to iSync support as well as Salling Clicker support. For the latter to happen, people at Fujitsu need to be acquainted with this award winning software.
I wish I had the chance to show it to them ...

以前からやりたくてもなかなか実現できなかった原文との同時掲載、つまりバイリンガルの記事だ。テーマはまもなく米国で発売される同氏の新著、emotional designと今日のパソコンデザインについて。
Dr. Donald A. Norman is a well-known cognitive scientist;. I have interviewed him once in the mid-'90s for MACPOWER magazine. But I got the opportunity to interview him again, this time for a new quarterly publication by Impress Corp. called the "desktop"; a magazine designed to re-think about our desktops. I will be writing more about this magazine in the following entries.
Anyway, Dr. Norman discuused why the PCs today are so ugly as well as his favorite designs which you can now find on his own web page.
The magazine is in Japanese with one exception which happens to be this very interview which is bilingual: English + Japanese.
If you are interested, grab one at your favorite book store and take a peek.

Though I haven't updated it much these days, many of you know that I love a service called fotolog; Some of yo may even know that I have started the TOKYOTODAY group log.
And as a matter of course, the first thing I did with my V801SA was to take a photo and upload it to TOKYOTODAY. But instead of the "Successful upload" mail, I got an error message. And so did
I finally did a quick test and found why that was.
On fotolog, if you want to upload the photo via e-mail, you would address the mail to the upload address of fotolog (you can find it at FAQ) and make the subject look like this "your_fotolog_id:password" and attach the picture.
Very simple. And there is no problem uploading with FOMA P2102V phone.
So I sent the same mail to myself and I got this result:
Subject: test:dayo
Subject: =?iso-2022-jp?B?dGVzdDpkYXlv?=
Apparently, V801SA encodes the subject into ISO-2022JP no matter what characters are used (or not used) where as P2102V only encodes when necessary.
So those people who were trying to use V801SA as your fotolog phone or for moblogging should be warned and try not to use the subject line to send any commands or IDs.

Whether you are a Mac-o-phile or not, you may have heard of the famous TV advertisement for the first Macintosh titled the "1984". It was directed by the famous film director Ridley Scott.
Most of you may think it aired first for the Superbowl in 1984 but it actually aired first twenty years ago today (in Japan time): December 15, 1983 (1am to be precise).
I first read about it in John Sculley's book "Odyssey." But you can also read bout it in Owen Linzmayer's "Apple Confidential"; I happened to be the co-translator of that book here in Japan.
If you don't have that book yet, here you can read the excerpt:

[for Japanese click more|日本語はmoreをクリック]
A week and half has past with my V801SA and I am quite happy with it except for one thing: battery life.
My V801SA has never survived the second day witout recharging; it is same with my FOMA P2102V phone, but V801SA is worse.
One good news though is I can recharge it with my USB cable that came with "Keitai-bannou" software package for FOMA phones (and Windows OS :-( )
As for SIM-swapping, hiroshiy is right, V801SA is SIM-locked and you can't use SIM cards from other vendors. As a matter of fact, I know there are two Japanese SIM cards that works outside of Japan, FOMA Card and VGS Card, but I have never heard of any SIM Card that would work in Japan. Are there any?
I doesn't necessary mean there is no SIM-swappable 3G phones; NOKIA Japan has W-CDMA+GSM (2-bands so far) but at least in Japan, it seems to work with VGS Card only.
I wonder when and who would ever support the roaming of foreign carriers. I am very sure vodafone is working on it.

4 million and rising – SA's new black middle class
For the last decade, the Institute has been at the forefront of research into South Africa's new black middle class. In 2006 the Institute launched its seminal Black Diamond study, which predicted that Black Middle Class spending power would skyrocket. Since then the segment has been vastly transformed and has a combined spending power of R400 billion a year.
This new order demands new strategic thinking from businesses and manufacturers – from how they create and sell products, to the way they distribute and market them.
Our study covers the following elements:
– A demographic overview of the black middle class segment
– Outline how the segment is evolving
– Segmentation
– Attitudes and buying behavior
– Key drivers and tensions
– Financial management
– Media consumption

The 28 year-old is guaranteed at least a bronze medal having made it through to the semi-finals of the under-67kgs division.
Stevenson will now face home favourite Hwang Kyung-seon, the current world and Olympic champion, for a chance to compete for gold.
Doncaster-fighter Stevenson - who collected bronze at the Beijing Olympics having been re-instated following an appeal against the judges' decision - has continued to produce on the mat despite difficulties in her personal life, with both parents fighting serious illness.
"Any pain I am going through here is nothing compared to what they are suffering, so I didn't want to come away without a medal," Stevenson said.
"It is going to be hard, but I'm going to come back tomorrow refreshed and ready to go."
Great Britain performance director Gary Hall paid tribute to Stevenson's courage; her mother Diane has been diagnosed with terminal cancer while father Roy has a brain tumour.
"There is no-one out there who is better than her, or who she is afraid of. Sarah has a huge chance," Hall said.
"Sarah sees these World Championships as a stepping stone to London and an Olympic gold medal."
However, world number one Aaron Cook suffered a frustrating first-round defeat to American Luke Ford in the men's under-80kg class.
Hall has called on the 20-year-old to show more focus.
"Aaron had created a lot of expectation for himself and so this is disappointing," said Hall, who will nominate his 2012 Olympic Games weight categories shortly after his 10-strong squad return from Korea and expects to face a selection headache.
"He needs to concentrate on performance and not the potential riches he can get from winning an Olympic title.
"In my view, he needs to win the Olympics first and then think about any rewards he might make."
Elsewhere, Barnsley fighter Caroline Fisher made it through to the last 16 of the under-53kgs, before losing to Turkey's Hatice Yangin.
As well as Stevenson's gold medal chance tomorrow, Team GB will also see teenage 2012 hopeful Jade Jones in action at under-57kg as well as Martin Stamper, who has claimed titles in the United States and German Open this year at under-68kgs.

UFO Sighting in Chester, Virginia on 1988-09-14 20:15:00 - Ball of light travels in a line, stops and goes another direction.
My friends and me went to germany to compete in this disc golf tournament. we left in the evening but it was still light outside. i was lying in the back of the car checking out the nature thinking about this tournament. my friends were in the front talking about disc golf and such. i am looking over the horizon when i see this light in the distance. first thought i had, helicopter. it wasn't high up somewhere in the sky, it was at that level an helicopter would fly. if i had to guess... around 200 meters. i thought it was an helicopter because the only thing i saw was a ball of light.I thought; they are looking for somebody but that made no sense at all because this chopper went over land and water and fields... but this chopper/light/ball, did not change course at all...It just kept of flying towards us. but we were driving on the highway...I have no clue how fast it went but it took awhile to get to us. not really to us but up in the sky towards our direction. then it stopped. sat there for 20 seconds and just when i wanted to ask my friends what the hell is that, it went another direction(90 degrees) but really fast and poof, it was gone. right then i was baffled and that doesn't happen very often ;-) i am high gifted...I know stuff ;-) we do not have planes or choppers or anything flying that can disappear within a second out of eyes view. so i am pretty sure that what i saw was not from this earth. and now we are 30 years later and still have no clue what i saw that evening.

How to Treat Depression With Therapeutic Doses of Vitamins
The most common forms of depressive disorders are major depressive disorder and dysthymia, notes the National Institute of Mental Health. Symptoms can include feeling hopeless, irritability and fatigue. For some, physical symptoms such as headaches, body aches or digestive disturbance accompany moderate to severe depressive episodes. Feeling depressed on occasion is a natural occurrence for most individuals. However, persistent depressive symptoms that interfere with daily functioning require professional treatment. In addition to professional interventions such as counseling and psychiatric medications, improving nutrition habits with vitamin therapy is an option for regulating symptoms. Before increasing vitamin doses, consult your physician to ensure safety and prevent medication interactions.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Start taking thiamine to decrease fatigue. Thiamine or vitamin B1 deficiency causes fatigue, memory disturbance and loss of appetite, notes Holistic Online. If you are experiencing these symptoms with your depression, eat foods rich in thiamine or take a supplement. Foods containing vitamin B1 include pork chops, black beans and sunflower seeds. Women require 1.1 mg a day and men require 1.2 mg to reach a therapeutic dose.
Step 2
Eat low-fat animal proteins or take a B12 supplement. Low levels of B12 in the body are linked to depression symptoms, according to MayoClinic.com. Vitamin B12 is important for regulating mood and preventing feelings of irritability and appetite loss. Increase consumption of foods such as eggs, chicken or fish for this vitamin. Therapeutic dose is 500 mcg twice a day.
Step 3
Take a folic acid supplement. The University of Maryland Medical Center indicates that folic acid, or vitamin B9, is crucial for mental and emotional health. Up to 38 percent of people with clinical depression also have low folate levels, making this a significant vitamin to incorporate into your daily diet. Therapeutic dosage of folate for treating depression is 50 mg or 800 mcg, a day. Holistic Online notes that high dose folic acid therapy is safe unless you have a pre-existing seizure disorder.
Step 4
Go outside and absorb sunshine or take a vitamin D supplement. Deficient levels of vitamin D are linked to depression as evidenced by the occurrence of seasonal affective disorder. Seasonal affective disorder is a form of depression occurring in people lacking consistent sun exposure during winter months. The Vitamin D Council explains that the best source of obtaining vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight for 10 minutes, up to four times a week. If you are unable to achieve brief sunning, a supplement is suggested. Take 1.25 mg a day for therapeutic effects.
Step 5
Drink more orange juice and increase your vitamin C intake. Vitamin C helps absorb folic acid and is important in preventing fatigue, weakness and apathy associated with depression. High-dose use of vitamin C is possible by eating nutrient-rich citrus or taking 1,000 mg supplements, three times a day.

An eye on Kennecott
I am a plaintiff in a lawsuit recently filed in federal court against Kennecott Minerals for pollution at the Flambeau Mine site in Wisconsin. As such, I have been interested in keeping tabs on what the company has been telling the people of Michigan about its track record in Wisconsin.
In particular, the company's Deb Muchmore was quoted in a regional newspaper (Mining Journal, Marquette, MI, July 16, 2009) as saying that Kennecott's Eagle Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula can be expected to be built, operated and closed in "a similar outstanding fashion" as the Flambeau Mine.
I surely hope Ms. Muchmore is wrong.
Since 1998, Kennecott's own data from its Flambeau Mine has shown toxic levels of copper in a detention pond used to collect runoff from the reclaimed mine site. The same pond was used during the mining years to collect highly toxic acid mine drainage and runoff from the open pit mine.
The polluted water in the detention pond discharges into a creek that flows across the mining company's property to the Flambeau River. I might add that the copper levels in the discharge are not just a little high. They consistently have ranged between 2 and 30 times higher than the copper standard set to protect fish and other forms of aquatic life. Again, this is Kennecott's own data!
I finally got tired of the failure of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to ticket Kennecott for the violations and properly regulate the pollution at the Flambeau Mine site. That's why I teamed up with the Wisconsin Resources Protection Council and the Center for Biological Diversity to sue Kennecott in federal court.
All I can say is that if Ms. Muchmore is correct in saying that the Eagle Project will be operated in a similar fashion to what the company did in Wisconsin, the people of Michigan are in big trouble.

Keep the EITC
As a group of concerned Christian (and Judiac) citizens, we are greatly dismayed to learn of the proposal to eliminate the Earned Income Tax Credit for the working poor. Whereas the wealthy pay taxes from their surpluss, elimination of the Earned Income Tax Credit would deprive low income families of the ability to pay for basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. We urge you to seek other more fair and equitable means to address the State budget shortfall.

Neil '64 & Karen Bonke
Exposing Students to Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Adapted from the Spring 2009 E2E Newsletter
Entrepreneurship + innovation = success in today's global marketplace. That equation is the driving force behind Neil '64 and Karen Bonke's decision to create an endowed professorship at Clarkson.
As the retired chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Electroglas Inc., a semiconductor test equipment manufacturer, Neil Bonke '64 knows how to successfully cultivate innovation through the integration of business and engineering. He also recognizes the importance of instilling in tomorrow's business leaders this appreciation for the role an entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to innovation play in maintaining a competitive edge in today's ever-changing marketplace.
Neil and his wife, Karen, have pledged an outright gift over five years to create the Neil '64 and Karen Bonke Endowed Professorship for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. This endowed professorship will support a faculty member who encourages an entrepreneurial mindset in Clarkson students focused within the Engineering and Management program. "Students can have in-depth learning in a given field, but lack an understanding of how the world operates," says Neil. "Clarkson's 'Get out of the Classroom' approach to education exposes students to real projects, competitions, start-up businesses and community projects — all of which expose students to entrepreneurial thinking and innovation."
While the Professorship will directly support a faculty member with proven academic expertise in entrepreneurship, it will also support the broader intellectual life of the University by creating synergies among faculty conducting research, commercializing technology and educating students in innovation and entrepreneurship.
Neil traces his own interest in the intersection of business and technology back to his undergraduate years at Clarkson as a student in the Industrial Distribution (ID) program. An interdisciplinary major, the ID program built upon the University's strengths in engineering and management, and was the first of its kind at an accredited college. More than 50 years later, the highly successful program, now known as E&M, remains a model for the interdisciplinary programs that continue to develop at Clarkson.
"Today, the world has shrunk, decision making must be fast and strategic, product life cycles are very short, low cost producers win markets and innovation is more important than ever. Cross-functional teams drive successful companies today and individuals must be diverse in their thinking and knowledge base."

I love this straight-from-the-heart "", which is showing up in a nationwide campaign to acknowledge and thank our Service Members. It's really getting around, as you can see from the number of views for this video. It looks like an ASL gesture to me – bet it is.
Maybe it will become part of our everyday behavior, and then we could use it for anyone we appreciate. What a concept! To me, it's visual poetry.
P.S. Just heard from my daughter-in-law, Joanne Nerenberg, who reports:
Yes, this salute seems to be derived from ASL, though slightly different. The right hand motioning forward is the same, however the ASL "thank you" begins at the mouth. The Gratitude Salute starts at the heart--which is a nice touch. It looked like a few of the folks in the video were completing their salute with the hand coming back toward the body. This is more like the sign for "gross" in ASL--the hand flipping on the belly--probably unintentional!

Hello to all. I try to understand this point of view : fun with "messyness". There is no judgment. There is already a little thing that I can understand and even appreciate : to break the rules, to go beyond the well-thinking. And I applause for this idea ! I would be really interested to hear other explanations from lovely models shooting messy videos, as an example. It interests me. Thank you. Respectfully.

Stratheden is the second release from The Lost Distillery Company. Closed due to the impact of prohibition in 1926, the distillery buildings still exist (in part) today with some original markings on the walls and doors hinting at its glorious best. Indeed, we've selected the color for the label or The Lost Distillery Stratheden matches the color of the warehouse doors That can still be seen to this day.
Stratheden was also known as Auchtermuchty towards the end of its life distilling. It was owned by the Bonthrone family, who had leg significant local brewers and malt workers in the area, dating as far back as 1600 The founder of the distillery. Was Alexander Bonthrone who reputedly distilled until his death in 1890 At 92 years old he Became. the oldest distiller in Scotland. His whiskey was reputed to be "one of the best." One of the key attributes of this whiskey was its unparalleled water source, known locally as the 'Lovers Pool'. It took three years to carve an aqueduct in solid granite to channel crystal clear water from the Lovers Pool to Stratheden Distillery's three water wheels. The water powered the entire site as well as contributing to the whiskeys unique character. The great whiskey explorer, Alfred Barnard, described it nivalis: 'It is splendid water, and as pure and sparkling as crystal. " Who are we to disagree?

Our last morning in Sao Miguel was partly sunny. The other guests at Casa dos Hibiscus, Pilar and Emmanuelle, had left by 6:00 AM to catch an early flight, so we didn't get to see them again. I had told Susana that I'd be down for breakfast about 8:30 AM, so I finally got up and dressed a little after 8 AM. There was again the wonderful assortment of breads and homemade jams, passion fruit yogurt, hot green tea, juice, and some of the homemade chocolate cake from the night before. I was not able to eat very much… I told Susana I felt full from all the food I'd been eating all week. She laughed and said that was the Portuguese way, to eat and enjoy meals and company.
I made comments in her Dos Hibiscos Guest Book – and remarked over a water color a guest had painted last fall when visiting. I promised to write a good review for her on Trip Advisor; she already has some good reviews on AirBnB, and had just started listing on Trip Advisor as well. She was happy that, the night before, two young "Nederlander" men had booked for the coming week, as it had been empty till the following Saturday. We conversed about our stay, her plans for the day (including a vet visit to give the younger dog Lyka an injection), and the story of how she got her current cat Shawnay, and her daughter's sadness that the black cat had still not reappeared and it was now a week since it had disappeared.
I went upstairs to the room to finish packing. I tried to carefully pad the Azorean ceramics I'd bought in the middle of my suitcase to be checked at the airport, and also wrapped clothing around the ceramics in my carryon bag. Susana told me the blue flowered ceramics are the most difficult to paint, so I was even more pleased with my choice. Hopefully nothing will break on my trip home!
After packing I got some more photos of the house and garden, and a photo of Susana and myself together in front of the orange hibiscus flowers. I felt a little bad that Susana had gone to all the trouble to clean the swimming pool and make sure the pH balance was just right, but I had been gone during the days on activities, and it was still a little cold to be swimming. We both agreed that it wasn't wasted effort, as probably the Nederlanders will take advantage of the pool during their stay this coming week.
Since the flight back to Boston wasn't until 5:00 PM, there was time to try once more the route above Ribiera Grande across the mountains to Lago Fugo and hope it wasn't foggy and rainy this time.
Sure enough, although there were low clouds, there were great views both to the north of the island at one viewpoint, a view down to Lago Fugo at another viewpoint. Clare and I laughed at how the clouds could cover the peaks, or one part of the island, while another part was enjoying sunshine – talk about localized weather! Lago Fugo looked grayish green due to the cloud cover overhead.
Coming down the mountain, which was a bunch of hairpin turns, at one place the Atlantic Ocean could be seen both to the south (near Lagoa) and to the north (Riberia Grande)! Although there were clouds above the mountain peaks, the ocean in either direction looked bright cerulean blue, reflecting clear skies above the water.
It wouldn't be a day of me driving without trying a few wrong turns and getting lost. I'd taken back roads out of Fenais da Luz, and ended up doing a kind of zig zag until I caught up to the highway. And again coming down off the mountain, I didn't want to go straight to the big city of Ponta Delgado, so tried first a small village, then got turned around on one way roads and ended up way out in the country, circling round again to where the Lago Fugo highway came down from the mountain again! Clare was wishing she was the one driving instead of me. Then I gave up and tried the new highway towards Ponta, getting off at the Marginal highway exit and going towards S. Roque at the first roundabout.
Deciding against patronizing Cais 20 again, signs were followed to "Oceanwaves" (Ocas do Mar), which turned out to have parking available, and was situated next to the rocky beach. Cheese fondue, beef kabobs and light salad… enjoyed with white wine sangria… was the perfect lunch.
Finally it was time to head west toward the aeroport, return the rental car and check my larger suitcase. Hertz charged me 7E because apparently I returned the gas tank at 4/8 instead of 5/8 (it had looked just over ½ tank to me, but oh, well). Aeroport security is very tight. I had to produce my passport and boarding pass several times, had my bags looked through at security (the x-rays of my ceramics did look a little strange, I admit). I like to visit the restroom one last time right before boarding, but the boarding area for Gate 5 to Boston was past another checkpoint, so I had to go back to the snack counter area, use the facilities there, and then go to Gate 5 to wait another ½ hour.
As the Azores Airline A330 Airbus soared out over the ocean, beginning its steep climb in altitude, I felt a mixture of completeness at having made the most of my week-long vacation to Sao Miguel, and sadness it was over too quickly. However, I really missed my Sheltie, and was happy that tomorrow I'll be home and see my puppy dog again!

A steaming, hearty bowlful of homemade soup, freshly baked popovers or crusty warm bread in a basket to the side -- what could be better on a chilly fall day? Only, perhaps, the enjoyment of preparing the meal.
There's a pleasant satisfaction to tending the soup pot, swirling a wooden spoon through the contents, and catching warm, savory drafts as the ingredients simmer toward their final transformtion.
The comes that first taste-test, adjusting the seasonings to just right -- a little freshly ground paper, a squeeze more a lemon juice, or some sweet marjoram.
Finally, the warmed tureen is filled and the hot soup ladled into bowls. No wonder Fannie Merritt Farmer instructed students in 1896: "It is the duty of every housekeeper to learn the art of soup-making" ("The Boston Cooking School Cookbook," Original 1896 edition).
Take as much care in preparing soup as you would any other dish. For the best flavor, only top-quality ingredients should be used. Tired, overcooked vegetables won't produce an interesting taste no matter what the seasoning.
Broth, or stock, a liquid base for many soups, can be made easily, but it requires long simmering. If you haven't the time for this, a good canned broth can be subtituted.
However as with all canned soups, it can be bland an is enlivened by simmering some chopped carrot, onion, celery, and a bay leaf in it for a few minutes before use.
Use seasoning carefully -- it should enhance, not dominate, the basic flavor. When experimenting with a new state, add just a little a first until you're familiar with its potency and compatibility with the dish.
Fresh herbs are preferred over dried -- they're brighter and zestier. Dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor than fresh, however, so bear this in mind.
Salt should only be added at the end of the cooking time. Since the liquid condenses, the salt that was just right to start could be too much in the finished in product.
Compare different recipes for the same kind of soup, and come up with your own version. In the cream of tomato soup recipe that follows (which ended my search for tomato soup with character), I substituted a coupled of fresh basil leaves for the garlic and it worked well. Also, I used less broth to make a thicker consistency.
Garnishes complete the perfect soup, and there's a wide variety to choose from. Possibilities include fresh herbs, chopped eggs, grated cheese, blanched vegetables such as tiny broccoli florets or carrots, dollops of whipped or sour cream, and small dumplings. Croutons are a favorite, and they're simple to make at home, but be sure to use a sturdy bread.
Time-Life Books volume on "Soups," part of The Good Cook series, is a thorough, clear text for learning basic and complex techniques of soupmaking. It includes a collection of recipes reprinted from a wide range of cookbooks. Here is a recipe from Louis Diat's "French Cooking for Americans." Cream of Tomato Soup 6 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped 1 cup canned tomatoes 2 tablespoons butter 1 onion, chopped 1 carrot, chopped 3 tablespoons flour 1 quart chicken stock or water 1 small clove of garlic 2 leeks, thinly sliced, optional 4 white peppercorns 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar Chicken carcass, optional 1 cup light cream
Mealt butter in a deep saucepan, add onion and carrot, and cook slowly until golden brown. Add flour and mix.
Add stock or water, the garlic leeks, white peppercorns, salt, sugar, tomatoes, and chicken carcass (if using). Cover and cook over low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, skimming as needed.
Remove chicken carcass and rub soup through a fine strainer. Combine cream with strained soup and correct seasoning.
If soup is too thick, add a little more cream or stock to obtain desired consistency. Serve with croutons or rice. Serves 4 to 6.
The following recipe is from Antonin Careme's "L'Art de La Cuisine Francaise au Dix-Neuvieme Siecle." Cauliflower and Broccoli Soup With Parsley 1 Cauliflower, stalks removed, divided into florets 2 heads broccoli, stalks removed, divided into florets 1 bouquet of parsley, tied together 1 quart consomme
Croutons, recipe follows
Blanch cauliflower in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then plunge into cold water and drain.
Put into a pan with a little consomme and parsley, and simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, blanch broccoli in boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and place in a warmed soup tureen. When cauliflower is done, remove parsley and pour cauliflower with its cooking liquid into tureen. Bring the remaining consomme to a boil and add to tureen with croutons.
A smooth, thick pureed soup from Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book is simply made with onions, stock, and milk. White Soubise 4 medium-sized onions (about 1 pound), chopped 4 tablespoons butter 1 1/4 cups light stock or water 1 1/4 cups milk 1 cup fresh white bread crumbs Salt and pepper Croutons, recipe follows
Stew onions in butter in covered pan, without browning them, for an hour. Keep heat really low, or use a fireproof pad. The idea is that the unions should gently dissolve into a puree.
Mix in stock or water, milk, and bread crumbs. Increase heat and bring soup just to boiling point. Sieve through medium blade of food mill; a blender will make puree too smooth. Season.
Return soup to heat to simmer for a further hour; again, keep mixture barely at simmering point. Check from time to time and give soup a stir. Add more water if mixture becomes too thick.
Serve with croutons. Serves 3 or 4. Croutons 2 bread slices, 1/2-inch thick, cut from day-old, firm-textured white loaf 4 tablespoons butter 1/4 to 1/2 cup oil
Remove crusts from bread and cut slices into cubes. Combine butter and 1/4 cup of oil in large skillet. Melt butter over medium heat and, as soon as butter and oil mixture is hot, add bread cubes and increase heat to high.
Turn cubes frequently with a broad metal spatula so that they brown evenly on all sides, and add more oil as necessary to keep cubes from burning. Before serving, drain croutons on paper towels.

We've some great news.
planetbeing and MuscleNerd of the evad3rs team has just confirmed that it is safe to upgrade to iOS 6.1, which was seeded an hour back.
Please check Update 2 before you update your iOS device to iOS 6.1.
We've some great news.
planetbeing and MuscleNerd of the evad3rs team has just confirmed that it is safe to upgrade to iOS 6.1, which was seeded an hour back.
Please check Update 2 before you update your iOS device to iOS 6.1.
When pod2g dared Apple to release iOS 6.1, we assumed that the hackers had the jailbreak ready for it, however weren't completely confident.
We've now got a confirmation that it is indeed is true. In an interview with iDigitalTimes, pod2g has confirmed that an jailbreak for iOS 6.1 is ready and has credited team members planetbeing and pimskeks for it.
Last night, planetbeing had revealed that he and pod2g had made tons of progress and the future of jailbreaking was looking bright.
We've some more news on the jailbreak front. David Wang aka planetbeing of the iPhone Dev team has just tweeted that they've made a lot of progress in the last few days and the future is looking bright for jailbreaking.
It was only a few days back that he and pod2g had discovered two new vulnerabilities.
Last week hacker/developer pod2g released his first app in the App Store—podDJ—and today via his blog Cyril has taken the wraps off his new venture: 2G Lab. The consulting group will be focused on development (app development I would assume) and security. It's not hard to see how someone with his pedigree would be in high demand.
Famous hacker and security expert Cyril aka pod2g has just released a new iPad app called podDJ in the App Store.
Few weeks back we reported that he couldn't work on the iOS 6 jailbreak as he was working on the app.
If you have been eagerly waiting for a jailbreak despite the doom and gloom about jailbreaking off late, then we've some great news.
planetbeing – member of the iPhone Dev team has revealed on reddit that he has an untethered iOS 6.0.2 jailbreak running on iPhone 5.
I really like the thinner and lighter iPhone 5 with the 4-inch display, but there have been many occasions when I've missed not being able to jailbreak it.
When jailbreak developers release new tweaks such as Auxo – an awesome replacement to the app switcher, which would have been perfect on iPhone 5's taller 4-inch display, I miss jailbreaking even more.
Famous iOS hacker – Cyril aka pod2g was the key member of the jailbreak dream team who released jailbreak tools such as Absinthe to jailbreak iOS 5.x.x.
So ever since Apple released iOS 6 in September, we've been hoping that pod2g will work his magic and release a jailbreak for iOS 6 and newer iOS devices.
Some members of the jailbreak dream team namely Cyril a.k.a pod2g, MuscleNerd and David Wang a.k.a planetbeing that have released popular jailbreak tools like Absinthe and Redsn0w, spoke at the Hack in the Box security conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
They provided some more details about the eagerly anticipated iOS 6 jailbreak.

Editor, The Commercial:
Editor, The Commercial:
Compassion and quality shouldn�t be compromised just because a patient is over 60 or 65 or has a history of frequent ER trips, multiple hospital stays, or numerous drug allergies. When families are seeing health declines, the changes should be taken seriously. Be careful not to brush them off as drug-seekers or troublemakers. Their concerns could be relevant.
Scolding from ER doctors are also very inappropriate. We should be advocates for the sick. Nurses do not allow the stress of the job to interfere with compassion and empathy. Your assessment and communication can be that bridge between doctor and patient.
Terminal diagnosis should not be discussed over the phone. I believe more conferences, seminars or semesters should be spent addressing terminal illness, death and dying or basic communication in health care.
You do not see too many nurses going the extra mile. I did get to meet one the other day. She came to our waiting room and gave me words of encouragement. She also gave us basic information about the next few hours. An oncologist listened as we sobbed and discussed the pain and suffering the patient has endured, simply because no doctor would listen or take her seriously. He apologized to us about the broken health care system.
To a cancer survivor, pain should be a red flag. It is not normal for anyone to sit and rock back and forth in pain. Weight loss and shortness of breath should be pertinent complaints. Small nodules or lesions should be highly suspicious. If ignored, those concerns can lead to a terminal diagnoses.
Families, I say to continue advocating for your family. Demand answers! Health care providers, please listen. Sometimes, we know what we�re talking about.

Afghan Cilantro-Mint Sauce
The other day, I got to talking about a now-out-of-business restaurant that we used to love. "Parwana" was a local spot serving Afghan food, and they had lots of vegan options on the menu. The food was so delicious and full of interesting flavors. Just like Italian restaurants might give you bread and olive oil as a starter, or a Mexican restaurant will give you chips and salsa... Parwana always gave diners bread with this amazing mint-cilantro sauce.
So, we were talking about how much we missed that magical sauce... and I figured I could probably recreate it. Armed with a fridge full of left-over fresh herbs from my Persian New Year gathering, I searched around on the internet and combined a few different recipes and ideas. In the end, I came up with something just about perfect. I'm so stoked!
For dinner we had Moroccan Chickpea Soup (from "Healthy Hedonist"), Hindu Kush Flat Breads (from "Silk Road"), and some of this Afghan Cilantro-Mint Sauce. Very international!
Check out the sauce, I hope you like it. It's pretty darn zesty from the garlic and cilantro... but it's also easy to get down the hatch. I look forward to exploring more uses for it!
Afghan Cilantro-Mint Sauce
Makes about 1 cup
{Note: I used a small food processor to make this, which was perfect, but I'm sure you could use a regular food processor, a blender (and some patience), or even a mortar and pestle.}
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 c walnuts
1 c cilantro leaves, semi-packed
1/2 c fresh mint leaves, semi-packed
4 scallions, chopped
3 T lemon juice
1 T white vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1-2 T water, as needed/desired
Drop the garlic clove into the food processor or blender and chop it up. Add the walnuts and pulse a few times to chop them up. Add all the remaining ingredients, starting with 1 Tbsp water (add more if you want it saucier or if it seems too thick to blend easily). Blend it into a thick green paste. Eat it up!

Over the weekend, authorities in Miami seized $3 million in currency and $10 million worth of cocaine in what federal officials called the breakup of a major operation to conceal profits from drug dealing. In Portland, Oregon, 2 arrests were made and 15 pounds of cocaine worth $2.5 million were seized.
''We think it is important for the nation to be aware that we at the Treasury Department are focusing on the financial aspects of the drug trade as well as drug trafficking itself,'' Treasury Assistant Secretary John Walker said. The announcement came a week after President Reagan declared a major offensive against illicit drug trafficking.
Walker said agents of the Customs Service and the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) made the Miami seizure as part of a federal drug enforcement effort known as ''Operation Greenback.'' Twenty such task forces are operating in the US.
The Portland arrests occurred after two men flew there Saturday in a private plane police believe was used to make drug deliveries across the country. The men were arrested at a downtown hotel.
The New York Times reported Sunday that the multibillion-dollar cocaine trade is so lucrative, the chances of being caught so small, and the use of the drug has become so acceptable in some segments of US society, that it is increasingly attracting dealers from middle-class professional and business life. In the biggest seizure made yet, businessmen, physicians, lawyers, and bank officials were among the leaders of a ring that smuggled into the country 3,748 pounds of cocaine confiscated in March in Florida.

The Inside Man is poised to strike again. Universal Pictures and producer Brian Grazer are moving forward with a sequel to the 2006 crime thriller, which grossed more than $175 million worldwide.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio is bringing back the original film's director, Spike Lee, for the sequel, and has also hired Hotel Rwanda's Terry George to script. Russell Gewirtz wrote the first film.
"I want the script to be even better than Russell's, and Russell wrote a really good script," Lee advised THR.
The trade reports, "Lee says he foresees that the new film will continue the relationship between the two main characters [Denzel Washington's cop and Clive Owen's bank robber] but in a new high-tension situation."
Both Washington and Owen are reportedly interested in reprising their roles.

Just hours after a video of a live performance surfaced featuring new material, TDE's SZA has released a new single titled "Drew Barrymore". It's expected that her album, now titled CTRL Music, will be next up to bat for TDE, and after a number of pushbacks, fans have been eagerly waiting.
The album will also feature previously released tracks "twoAM" and "Come and See Me", both of which have been great steps forward in her artistry. With no official release date as of yet, for now we can enjoy "Drew Barrymore", which features some hazy guitar playing that blends perfectly with SZA's crooning. Let us know what you think!

So… basic problem statement, we have a checkBox, switch, button… whatever that we need to capture the click event and keep some state information about the object. I want to be able to click the object, save its state and not impact the rest of the items in the row.
I also need a way to find out which items are selected, since multiple items could be selected and it is the object that is selected not the row.
The first example is pretty straight forward, but then there are additional methods that I have added as a possible way to solve additional problems that come up when working with tables and objects in rows
In the table above, we are able to find the child elements because we know where we put it; also there is only one element.
If there are multiple elements, one solution is to provide ids and then use a function like the one below to iterate through the child objects and find the one you are looking for.
Another thing that might come in handy is a method for finding which elements are selected
Final Solution with helpers included to show more fun stuff

TROPSOC / Institute of Geography / Augsburg University
PhD position in Physical Geography / Plant & Soil Ecology including field work in Tropical Africa
Overview: The Institute of Geography (www.geo.uni-augsburg.de) at Augsburg University invites applications for an excellent PhD candidate for a three-year position working on the tropical carbon cycle with field sites and experiments in Eastern Africa (DRC, Uganda, Rwanda). We seek a candidate who uses quantitative and qualitative field and laboratory methods to study interactions between life and geologic, geochemical or hydrological processes.
The PhD position is based in DFG research group "TROPSOC" (http://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/387472333) and will be collaborating with several other groups in and outside Germany in the framework of TROPSOC.
Project: The response of soils to disturbance by erosion is one of the great uncertainties in predicting greenhouse gas fluxes from soils to the atmosphere and hence future earth system dynamics. Tropical Africa is a hotspot of land use change and is expected to experience important changes to both soil biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem level carbon (C) fluxes between soil, plants and the atmosphere in this century. In particular, it is unclear how nutrient fluxes and C allocation between soils, plants and the atmosphere will evolve and differ in tropical systems in relation to the controlling factors: mineralogy, topography and vegetation.
The main objective of the proposed project is to develop a mechanistic understanding of C allocation and release in plant/soil systems of Tropical Africa, studied in the eastern part of the Congo Basin. This region provides a unique combination of (i) geologically diverse parent material for soil formation and (ii) different levels of disturbance by human activity, taking place under a humid, tropical climate regime, where pristine forests are converted into agricultural land at high rates.
Application: Augsburg University seeks to increase the number of women in sciences and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. Applicants with severe disabilities will be favored when having substantially the same qualifications as applicants without severe disabilities. Please send your documents as a single pdf document (letter of motivation, CV, certificates, names of 2 referees) by email to email@example.com until Nov 1st 2017.

I love that you are using and loving real salt. Once I made the switch I haven't gone back. These look insanely good!! Is it too early to make one? ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
I do love the real salt, I still keep kosher salt on hand for cooking but we love the real salt on popcorn, drinks, salads - basically anywhere it won't be cooked out.Delete
You could basically consider this a brunch drink - so anytime you want to make it seems appropriate.
my mouth is watering. awesome.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Bunnie!Delete
I didn't realize that Seth was following you Facebook, but he mentioned this drink to me over the weekend before I had even seen it myself. He's a gin guy and a lover of citrus. It's like you made this drink just for him ;-) He says well done.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha! maybe it just came up in his feed because someone else liked it? I bet he will love it!Delete

Our very first picture together
Today is the tenth anniversary of the day that Chester and I first met. TEN years, people. That calls for a little trip down memory lane, yes?
Let's look back to March of 2005, when I had just ended the relationship that I was in through half of high school and all of college. I quickly realized that spending all of those years with the same person had left me with virtually NO idea of how to date. Prospects in my circle of friends were slim and I was absolutely not the type to hang out in a bar, hoping that the love of my life would walk in.
So, I decided to take my search online. After several horrible experiences with guys from Match, I decided to move over to Yahoo! Personals (which has since been purchased by Match). I had no reason to believe that this would yield better results, but it was cheaper and you all know how I love a bargain.
I had been on for about three days when this cute guy (that would be Chester) sent me an "icebreaker"—a short, little message to say that he had liked my profile. Thankfully, I had chosen a photo taken before my despair over being single led me into the poor decision of letting my mom cut my hair.
I sat on the icebreaker for several days, not really sure if I wanted to be disappointed again. But, late one night, just before I was about to go to bed, I just felt like I had to answer him. Something was telling me that he was different.
And, the rest, as they say is history.
For the next month, we e-mailed and IMed (those were the days, right?) and agreed to meet in person. On April 23rd, I showed up to our agreed upon meeting, on the corner of 3rd and Chestnut Streets.
And, I waited. And, waited.And, waited.
It started to rain. I became annoyed that I had bothered to spend the money to have my hair professionally blow dried so that the mullet was less obvious.
When random guys riding by on bicycles started whistling at me, I mentally gave Chester five more minutes to show up before heading home.
Luckily for him, he careened around the corner in his silver car, just in time. Which was actually a full 45 minutes past the appointed time. So, it was also lucky for him that he was just as cute in person as he was photos.
And, I was hungry, so I figured the least he could do was buy me dinner. So, we headed to Continental.
I kept up the charade of being annoyed for awhile. But, he was so nice and easy to talk to that it was hard to stay mad. And, he didn't seem to mind that my hair was reminiscent of David Bowie's, circa 1972.
We ended the night with coffee at Cosi and a walk on Penn's Landing. By then, I knew that he was the "The One."
I cancelled my Yahoo! membership that night. By that summer, we had moved in together.
In 2009, we got engaged—which is also a good story, but one that I'll save that for another day.
Returning to where it all began, for our engagement photo shoot
We got married the next year.
Three years later, B came along.
We had NO idea what we were doing.
So, ten years, one apartment, one house, two cats, one dog, one kid, several job changes, thousands of miles traveled together by plane, train and automobile, hundreds of fights, millions of laughs later, there is still no one else that I would rather be with.
One of my favorite photos of us, in Toledo, Spain on our honeymoon
Every day has been THE BEST.
