The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is the biggest Turkey Day celebration in the country, welcoming 3.5 million people each year to the streets of Manhattan on the fourth Thursday of every November. Travelers come from all over the country to take part in the fun festivities using their New York car rentals (or their New Jersey car rental if they're coming from the Garden State) to get around and explore the metropolis before the celebration begins. Don't miss out on one of the greatest American traditions and a truly dazzling spectacle filled with marching bands, vibrant floats and talented performers - book a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade car rental and learn about the event before heading to the Big Apple in November.
History of the parade
Established in 1924, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of the oldest of its kind in the country. It was first started by Macy's employees - most of whom were immigrants using the festivities to showcase their love for America. It was a tiny parade back then, with little more than zoo animals, a marching band and some humble floats. But it still managed to attract some 250,000 people, spurring festival organizers to continue the parade each year. It has since expanded in size and breadth, becoming one of America's most beloved traditions.
Features of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
When you arrive at the parade after parking your New York City car rental, you'll be greeted by a massive crowd of millions of cheering New Yorkers and visitors. The parade, which is sponsored by NBC and televised all around the world, is typically hosted by TV icons Al Roker, Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. The whole thing kicks off with the words, "Let's Have a Parade," sending the crowd into a roar of delight. This three-hour procession, which starts at 9 a.m. and ends at noon, covers more than 40 city blocks. The parade route begins at 77th Street and Central Park West and twists and turns its way down Columbus Circle, Broadway and 34th Street before ending at the doorstep of Macy's Herald Square on Seventh Avenue.
While the parade was once a humble affair, today it is made up of more than 8,000 marchers, including clowns who juggle and entertain the young ones, musicians (there are nearly a dozen marching bands among other acts), 1,600 cheerleaders and a jolly Santa Claus who gets spectators ready for the spirit of the holidays. The highlight, of course, is the collection of more than a dozen mammoth-sized balloons designed after iconic American characters, not to mention more than three dozen other interesting balloons of smaller sizes and shapes. Note that driving and parking in Manhattan can be very difficult during this event, so you may want to leave your Newark International Airport car rental at the hotel or in a nearby parking garage to avoid unnecessary hassle.

To everyone who came out to Aloha Skin Spa's Third Anniversary Luau, a great big giant mahalo. You were so sweet and brought so much good energy to us. Plus the weather gods were with us — a perfect day, not too hot, and no wind.
We even avoided the time when Tahoe transforms into Pollenesia, the land of the yellow brick everything. Thanks for a great party, and for your aloha and support throughout the year. We love you.

MLB Bedding
There's no crying in baseball, and there should be no crying in bedding. Creating your MLB themed bedroom is a great bonding opportunity for you and your parents, and you don't have to be a die-hard sports fan to enjoy MLB bedding in your room. All you need is a love for the game and you're half way there. Here are some helpful tips to become the MVP of your space.
Bedding is the foundation for all bedrooms. It inspires accessories and color scheme. Do you want a duvet, quilt or a standard comforter? 3-piece or more bedding sets are a great option. Don't limit yourself to what's in the bag, but it's an excellent start.
Always make sure you know your bed size. Do you have a twin, full, queen or king-sized bed? Not all kids have a twin, so make sure you understand the size of your bed, so you can shop with confidence. As tempting as it may be, don't let yourself purchase something that isn't the right size. It will look sloppy (or too tight) and you'll have to start the search all over again.
Specific Bedding
What is your favorite MLB team? Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals? Some kids just love baseball in general, in which case, make your bedding specific to the sport.
If you do have a favorite MLB team, search for all options, narrow it down, and then go from there. If you're finding limited twin bedding choices and blankets on a less popular MLB team, try taking one item and running with it. For example, if you find some high-quality sheets with a Baltimore Orioles logo, but you dislike the comforter, get the sheets and find a quilt, duvet, or comforter (reversible bedding is encouraged) that goes with the color palette. Same goes with blankets, pillows, and shams.
Accent Pillows with Bedding
Pillows are great accessories and sometimes that's all you need to turn a basic blue bedspread into an MLB inspired room. Pillows and covers can instantly turn a blank slate into a sports-obsessed haven. If you have a busy sports themed bedspread, try a basic pillow or pillowcase. It's all about balance. If you have a sheet that's busy with a conservative comforter, have fun matching a louder pillow to the sheets. Always look for anything reversible for even more options.
Decorations with Bedding
Once you have your bedding, start bringing in accessories. Try a sports inspired lamp in the shape of a bat, a cork board with the MLB franchise color. Use accented knobs of different sports shapes and sizes on the drawers. Create a personalized varsity style logo for your room.

The death of a 15-month-old boy who was left in a hot car in Ridgefield, Connecticut, on July 7 has been ruled a homicide.
Benjamin Seitz died of hyperthermia due to environmental exposure, the medical examiner has determined. Detectives are in the process of meeting with officials from the state's attorney's office.
"The criminal investigation is ongoing and as such this office will have no comment on the status or details of the investigation including the autopsy report," said State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III, of the Judicial District of Danbury, in a statement.
Police said the child's father was supposed to drop the little boy off at daycare but instead drove to his workplace, Owl Computing Technologies, at 38A Grove Street in Ridgefield, with the baby still in the car.
According to investigators, the baby's father parked his vehicle at work with Benjamin still inside and left him there for "an extended period of time," on a day when temperatures in the area reached 88 degrees.
Lindsay Rogers-Seitz, Benjamin's mother, said her husband went to the daycare to pick up Ben. When he learned his son wasn't there, he asked the staff if his wife had picked him up earlier in the day.
He was told she had not, and so he went back to his car, found Ben and rushed him to Danbury Hospital, according to Rogers-Seitz.
William Dunlap, associate dean of Quinnipiac School of Law, said "the essence of homicide is that it was caused by another person" but emphasized that Ben's death has not been ruled a murder or criminal homicide.
"Prosecutors could decide to go with a murder charge if they think there's evidence of intent to kill, they could go with recklessness if they think he was aware there was a risk that this could happen but he consciously disregarded it, or they could charge him with criminally negligent homicide if they think he acted negligently, irresponsibly," Dunlap explained.
As she deals with the grief of losing her son, Lindsay Rogers-Seitz said she forgives her husband for leaving their son in the car and has decided to channel her grief into activism.
The couple is spreading the word about hyperthermia in children and Rogers-Seitz started a blog, The Gift of Ben, to raise awareness of heatstroke in children and help others avoid the tragedy she suffered.
According to the NHTSA, hyperthermia is the leading cause of non-crash-related death in children under the age of 15.

"Mom, They Called Me Bossy..."
So, I told her this story:
"Mom, they called me bossy!" I cried as I ran into my mom's arms with tears running down my face. My mom comforted me and dried my tears. Then she looked me in the eye and said, "Don't ever let anyone call you bossy. If anyone does call you bossy, then you tell them that you are not bossy. That you just come from a long line of managing women!"
[A long line of managing women?]
She went on to explain that my Gran's Gran, Annie O'Brien, came from Ireland by herself at the tender age of 17 to New Orleans, Louisiana. Also, her daughter, my Gran's mom, "Boo", and my Gran raised Gran's 8 children [my mom's #7]. My Gran had multiple jobs while "Boo" took care of things on the home front. Lastly, [and I think this is kinda cool] my Gran's sister, Aunt Anne, drove an ambulance in France during World War II.
She ended this quick family history of my "managing" maternal line with, "Don't forget: you come from a long line of managing women."
I now wonder, "How many times this story has been told in my mom's family, and who it started with?" I didn't realize that day how that "talk" would profoundly affect my outlook on life and myself.
And what great genealogical clues she'd given me.
And what I'd find out about my family.
And what great stories they'd make.
And that I'd be sharing them with you.
So, then I looked my daughter in the eye and I told her, "Don't let anyone call you bossy. If someone does call you bossy, you just tell them that you're not bossy. That you just come from a long line of managing women."
[But, I also added that she was not allowed to "manage" me. Ever.]

great post!!! My Mom was also a "managing woman" and her big line was "that's how it is, and you'll just have to manage!"ReplyDelete
That's cute. I wish you'd posted this about a week ago! Someone called me, "bossy" (and not in a nice way, either). I would have loved to have used this line against him, especially because, in my case, it's TRUE!ReplyDelete
From one "managing woman" to another,
Thanks! You just send 'em to me, Renate. I'll take care of 'em. *wink*ReplyDelete
Great post, thanks so much sharing - sounds like something my great grandmother would have said.ReplyDelete
Guess that explains my bossy granddaughters as well.ReplyDelete
I suppose I'm a managing woman, but I've always described myself as a control freak. I too come from a long line, and my daughter appears to be carrying it on.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. I knew there was a reason I'm always in "managing mode." My mother used to tell me a French story that was similar(Lord knows I'm bossy). These ancestral anstories help us accept our character and yet be aware of our idiosyncrasies.ReplyDelete
We just call ourselves "strong" women. My grandmother would say "It'll get better before you get married." I find myself telling my daughters when they were young, the same. And it does. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete

I am working on updating a PHP/JS project on a local server (Apache) and I switched from the PHP mail function to PHPmailer.
I had a complete setup at one point with PHP mail function and it worked great. However, I had issues with my harddrive and I had to format it and setup the server from scratch. When that was done, PHP mail function became slow. While researching solutions for that, I found that most people recommended PHPmailer. I switched to that but the problem still persisted.
Please find the relevant code below:
Code: Select all
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = myGmailAddress;
$mail->Password = mypassword;
$mail->SetFrom(myGmailAddress, myServiceName);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
if(!$mail->Send()) { return 0; } else { return 1; }
I don't see any error through debug and messages, it just takes longer than usual to send the email. Is there anything missing in the mailer setup or is there some behind-the-scenes configuration that I should check?
I've already tried turning off the Firewall just to test it, and it's the same. I tried more debugging and it seems the delay is because of SMTPAuth. Can anything be done to keep the authentication but speed up sending the emails?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Texas on the Potomac's "The Week Ahead," a preview of events to come on Capitol Hill and at the White House this week.
This week's report was written by William K. Moore of ViaNovo.
As Washington postures for the November election, the Lame Duck session or 2013, the same handful of House Republicans who forced the debt limit showdown a year ago lurks in the legislative shadows, hoping to capture another spending hostage in September.
No appropriations bills will be enacted by the October 1 deadline, requiring Congress to approve a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown. Bipartisan Senate leaders want a 90-day CR at funding levels set by the debt limit bill. Many House Republicans prefer funding government through March 2013, teamed with spending cuts required by the House-passed budget resolution. The odds favor a September deal because Republicans fear voters assigning them shutdown blame. A September deal makes Tea Party Representatives less like to compromise in December to avoid the fiscal cliff – automatic spending cuts and tax increases that would strangle the economy – or a post-election shutdown.
Twenty-one legislative days remain before the election; 16 post-election voting days are scheduled for the Lame Duck session. Last week, the Senate failed to advance bills requiring charitable groups to disclose contributions used for political advertising or providing tax credits to manufacturers expanding U.S. operations. The House passed a bill requiring the White House to submit details for how it will carry out across-the-board spending cuts in 2013 (watch for Administration testimony this week including some details) and began debating the Defense spending bill. None of the measures will be enacted in their present form.
Following the tragic shootings in Aurora, Colorado, President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney canceled campaign events and negative ads running in Colorado. They will soon decide when to return to the trail and begin broadcasting negative ads. By this weekend, the London Olympics will consume much of the nation's attention, making it more difficult for political arguments to capture the nation's imagination.

Conversations: Where Readers and Authors Share the Discussion
By Amy Sessler Powell
HBI Communications Director
Davina Fisher remembers her first book in HBI Conversations, a unique group run by the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, where the readers and authors meet together to share discussion.
She joined HBI Conversations when she found herself unemployed from the economic downturn and she turned to her bucket list rather than seek a new job. The first book was "The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit," by Lucette Lagnado. It was in February of 2009 and the group met at the Brandeis Club in Manhattan.
"I sat around the table and there she was, Lucette Lagnado! She was an incredible presenter and I thought, 'look what I lucked into.' I walked out on a high that I had read this book, discussed it with the author and she had signed my book," said Fisher, now coordinator for the New York group.
Fisher's experience is repeated in multiple cities across the U.S. and Canada as the HBI Conversations , spreads. Started by the HBI in Palm Beach over ten years ago, each group chooses the books that they feel best honor HBI's mission of "fresh thinking about Jews and gender worldwide." Today, there are 10 locations serving approximately 640 women. Those involved describe the sessions as a wonderful experience for reader and author. The discussion groups are kept to around 30 people.
Beth Tishler, coordinator of the Boston HBI Conversations group said, "One of the things that make it special is the chance to truly have a conversation with an author. The author loves it because everyone who comes has read the book."
Other settings, such as book signings or author talks, do not lend themselves to in-depth discussion. They tend to attract book buyers versus those who have read the book and the structure does not promote the sort of rapport experienced with HBI Conversations.
Alyson Richman, author of "The Lost Wife," said, "An author dreams about a rapt audience where everyone is curious about the book, your process and your journey of how you came to write the book. It's really wonderful experience."
Jessica Grosman, coordinator of the Baltimore group, joined HBI Conversations shortly after having her first child. She found herself too often in settings where talk leaned toward preschool and she yearned for something completely different.
"I needed to stretch my mind and be around other women with similar interests. I wasn't working and had intellectual capacity," she said.
Richman, who has spoken to eight different Conversations groups, sees it as a "wonderful way to have a lens into a group of women still trying to have an educated life, keep their minds aflame and nurture their curiosity and intellect."
Her book tells the story of Josef and Lenka torn apart by the Holocaust and reunited after a chance meeting at a wedding in New York. She recalls a question from her first book discussion with women from the Boston group which meets at HBI.
"We were talking about the process of how I came to write 'The Lost Wife,' and someone asked me how the Holocaust was taught to me as a child. I felt my voice tremble. It was not taught to me in an appropriate way and it was such an intelligent question that brought me back to my own childhood," Richman said.
Grosman noted that the women in the group come from diverse backgrounds and often lend a perspective through the lens of their life experiences that enriches the discussion.
"We have women who are children of survivors or who were close to events during the Civil Rights Movement or different war periods in Israel. It makes the conversation so much richer," Grosman said.
There are times when members reread the books after the discussion because they feel enlightened by what they learn of the author's process.
Tishler said, "Sometimes the author will disclose something of a personal nature. People love to find out the story behind the story and to understand why certain characters are there. That's what makes this group unique."

From frayed wires to down powerlines, what can an electrician do to help your home get back on track.
Power outages are unpredictable, so planning ahead is key to staying safe. This checklist helps you prepare with the right supplies and information.
Understand the different types of electrical outlets, as well as the maintenance they require, in order to keep your home or offic…
There are different kinds of electricians. Some mostly work with contractors to install and map out electrical circuits inside homes and commercial buildings while others lay wire for large projects such as telephone lines and traffic lights. Keep this in mind when narrowing your search for a professional. If you need a tradesperson to work on your home or building, contact an inside or house wire expert. These professionals specialize in designing and putting new electrical systems in place for houses and commercial buildings.
When you contact an electrical contractor, describe the job that needs completing. Maybe you have a large project, like a remodeling plan that requires new wiring, or a small one, such as replacing a light switch or socket. Let the electrician know. Not every person you call will have the training and know-how to do more complex work.
To further hone your search, make sure you ask electricians the following questions before hiring:
1. Are You Licensed?
Trades such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical work require contractors to carefully install complicated systems that could be hazardous if they're installed incorrectly. Therefore, most states require electricians to receive training and obtain a license before working. An electrician that's licensed is one that's competent and knowledgeable enough of his or her trade to install and maintain electrical systems.
Electricians must complete thousands of hours of training in order to get a license to practice their trade, so make sure not only the company you choose but the employees doing the work show you their license. When you view the license, ensure that it's up to date and that it's issued by your state.
2. Are You Bonded?
There's potentially a lot that can go wrong if a tradesperson like an electrician installs wiring the wrong way. To spare you and your home or office from subpar work, make sure the electrician is bonded. Being bonded means the professional has an intermediary that can pay for any damage caused to a property or foot the bill if the contractor fails to finish the job.
3. Are You Insured?
Besides a bond, you also need an electrician that's insured. Many states require contractors to carry some form of insurance along with their license. Insist that whomever you hire has the proper amount of insurance for the work you need done and call the insurer to check the policy.
See that who you hire for the job has liability and workers' compensation insurance so you don't end up paying for injuries or accidents caused by the company's work. Workers' compensation insurance means the business can provide for any of its employees if they're hurt on the job.
4. Is Your Business Licensed?
Not only should you check that the electrician is licensed by your state, you should also ask if his or her company has the certification to operate in your area. Both the electrician as well as the business he or she works for need licenses either issued by the state or local municipality.
5. Who Will Do the Work?
Ensure the person who actually comes out to complete the work is licensed, bonded and insured. You need to know not just the company that's doing the work but the person they're sending out to your home or building. Make sure the employee doing the job isn't an unsupervised apprentice. If it happens that the business uses a subcontractor, check with both the company and the tradesperson that the same kind of bond and insurance applies for that subcontractor as it would for an employee.
6. How Much Do You Charge by the Hour?
If you have a small and simple job that needs completing, such as a new light switch, then ask the electrician how much they charge for it before hiring him or her. When it comes to larger, more intensive and time-consuming work, you'll want to inquire about the contractor's hourly rate. Many tradespeople will offer to come out to your home or building, examine it and give you an estimate as well as tell you how much they charge per hour. It's best to get this in writing before proceeding.
While you're at it, call several electricians to come out to your home to give you an estimate on the work. This way you can get an idea of what the average price of the job will be.
7. Do You Offer a Warranty?
Many reputable tradespeople provide warranties for their work. Inquire if both the labor and parts the electrician uses are under warranty and how long the work is guaranteed for.
8. Do You Have or Need a Permit?
Depending on what kind of repairs or installation you need, your city could require a permit for the electrical work. Ask your electrician if the job calls for one and have him or her put the permit under his or her name. Ensuring the tradesperson obtains a permit will safeguard you from any blame if the labor turns out to be subpar.
Finding a trustworthy electrician isn't hard, but you must do your due diligence. Make sure whomever you hire is licensed, bonded and insured, and that the professional can show you proof of all three as well as get the necessary permit for the job. Besides these important factors, you can take further steps to guarantee you obtain a reputable tradesperson.
1. Get Referrals
Ask your family, friends or neighbors if they can recommend a professional to you and inquire if they're pleased with the work. Better yet, ask them if they can show you the project the electrician completed and ask them how long it took the worker to complete it.
2. Look Online
It can't hurt to also check electricians out online. Look for reviews, ratings and, most importantly, see if they have any complaints on file with your municipality or with your local business bureaus. If former customers filed grievances against them, you may want to steer clear.
3. Ask for a Quote
Reputable electricians will give you a quote for small work over the phone if you ask and will travel to your home to quote you a price for larger jobs. Be wary of one that declines to give you an estimate or insists that he or she charge you for coming out to your house.
4. Ask Them About Their Experience
Being bonded, licensed and insured is all well and good, but you also need an experienced professional to do the work. With that said, interview electricians about past projects they completed and how many years they've been in business or how much training they have.
5. Be Wary of Suspiciously Low Estimates
Watch out for contractors that greatly underbid other electricians. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Also, always remember to get the estimate in writing before settling on a company.
While all electricians need a license, not all of them do the same types of jobs. They are usually split up into three groups: outside, inside and residential.
Outside: These types of electricians work outdoors on electrical lines that connect to power plants.
Inside: Inside experts typically focus on commercial and industrial buildings that require a lot of power.
Residential: If you're a homeowner, you'll most likely need to hire an electrician that specializes in residential wiring. Residential electricians work with low-voltage systems and wiring to install fuse boxes and light fixtures.
Like many trade groups, electricians learn their craft by going to vocational schools and shadowing professionals on the job. In order to become a full-fledged professional, a person must undergo an apprenticeship with master and journeyman electricians. An apprentice needs 8,000 hours of practical work before graduating to the journeyman level.
If an apprentice reaches journeyman status, he or she can complete most electrical work but cannot design it until completing more testing along with 2,000 more on-the-job hours.
Many do-it-yourself enthusiasts might be inclined to fix electrical problems around their home, but they risk shock and bodily injury. It's always best to call a licensed electrician, even if you have something as small as an improperly working wall outlet.
Keep the following safety tips in mind:

Checking in on… the MACPosted by Brian Goodman on January 14th, 2011
Alex Varone is the RTC correspondent for the Mid-American Conference.
A Look Back
Conference play has arrived in the Mid-American Conference, and once again, the MAC has proven to be one of the most competitive and balanced leagues in the country. Check out the following results from just the first few games of the conference season.
- Western Michigan over Central Michigan, 64-56 (OT)
- Miami (Ohio) over Ohio, 92-88 (3OT)
- Bowling Green over Buffalo, 74-71 (2OT)
- Akron over Kent State, 65-62
- Miami (Ohio) over Buffalo, 70-67
- Northern Illinois over Eastern Michigan, 71-69
Midway through the month of January, the MAC has already seen three overtime games, including a classic triple-overtime affair, and three other one-possession games. All told, ten of the league's twelve teams have already participated in an overtime and/or one-possession game, a sure sign that the MAC should be wide open and competitive throughout the rest of the season.
Star Watch
- Jarrod Jones of Ball State has continued his season-long run of impressive play during the Cardinals' current four game win streak. Over the four victories, including two to begin MAC play, Jones made 31 of 53 field goals (58.5%) and averaged 20.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. For the season, Jones is fifth in the conference with 16.5 PPG, and second with 8.9 rebounds, while also chipping in 1.2 steals per contest.
- Elsewhere, Xavier Silas of Northern Illinois continues to lead the MAC in scoring at 23.9 PPG. Second-leading scorer Brandon Bowdry of Eastern Michigan (20.9 PPG) is also first in the MAC in rebounds per game (10.1), and third-leading scorer D.J. Cooper of Ohio (18.8 PPG) has a sizable lead in assists per game (8.1).
Power Rankings (last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Ball State (3)
The early season loss to Alaska Anchorage seems like a distant memory, as Ball State has won four straight and seven of eight to cement its case as the best team in the Mid-American Conference to date. After a pair of blowout wins over North Carolina A&T and SIU-Edwardsville, the Cardinals opened conference play with a five-point win at Northern Illinois, and a nine-point home win over Western Michigan.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 15 vs. Central Michigan, Jan. 19 at Eastern Michigan, Jan. 22 at Toledo, Jan. 24 vs. Morehead State, Jan. 27 vs. Kent State
2. Kent State (1)
A three-game losing streak (at Morehead State, vs. James Madison, and at Akron) was an unexpected setback for the Golden Flashes, but Kent State recovered in its most recent outing, knocking off Bowling Green by 17 points. Kent State will have a chance to regain the top spot in these rankings with a tough upcoming slate: at Ohio, at Buffalo, vs. Miami, at Ball State, four of the top teams in the MAC.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 15 at Ohio, Jan. 19 at Buffalo, Jan. 23 vs. Miami, Jan. 27 at Ball State
3. Miami (Ohio) (6)
The time is now to see how well Miami's grueling non-conference schedule will pay off, and so far, so good for the RedHawks. After finishing the non-conference season with double-digit defeats against Cincinnati, and at Belmont and at Kansas, Miami (Ohio) kicked off conference play with a 92-88 triple-overtime victory at defending champion Ohio, and a three-point home win over Buffalo. The front-line of Julian Mavunga, Nick Winbush, and Antonio Ballard doesn't get a lot of publicity, but have been and will be the key to Miami's success.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 16 at Bowling Green, Jan. 19 vs. Akron, Jan. 23 at Kent State, Jan. 27 at Central Michigan
4. Akron (4)
The Zips seemingly turned the corner at the start of the new year, winning six out of seven, including a three-point conference-opening win over Kent State, but then dropped a home contest to Ohio by nine points. Akron becomes a very dangerous team when sophomore seven-footer Zeke Marshall is a factor in the offense. Marshall played his best game of the season against Kent State, putting up 20 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and swatting 3 shots, but against Ohio, Marshall only attempted five field goals.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 16 at Buffalo, Jan. 19 at Miami, Jan. 22 vs. Bowling Green, Jan. 26 at Northern Illinois
5. Ohio (5)
Not too many teams can claim to lose a four-overtime game and a three-overtime game in the same season, but over the past month, Ohio has done just that. In fact, three of the Bobcats' last four losses have been in overtime, beginning with the 4 OT defeat at St. Bonaventure, continuing with a single-OT home loss against Robert Morris, and ending with a 3 OT home loss against Miami. In more encouraging news for Ohio, freshman Nick Kellogg lead the Bobcats with 23 points in the pivotal road win at Akron.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 15 vs. Kent State, Jan. 19 at Bowling Green, Jan. 22 vs. Buffalo, Jan. 26 vs. Eastern Michigan
6. Western Michigan (7)
After relying offensively on one guy (David Kool) last season, Western Michigan has countered this season with a much more balanced attack, with only two players (Flenard Whitfield and Demetrius Ward) averaging double-figures for the year. So far, it's working, with the Broncos having won three of four, including a overtime win over Central Michigan to kick off MAC play. Even with a loss at Ball State, Western Michigan has a chance to keep its hot streak going with games against Eastern Michigan and Toledo coming up.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 16 vs. Eastern Michigan, Jan. 19 at Toledo, Jan. 22 vs. Northern Illinois, Jan. 25 vs. Buffalo
7. Buffalo (2)
Even with an inexperienced squad, Buffalo rode a manageable non-conference schedule to an impressive start to the season, but the Bulls have come back to earth a bit in the first two conference games, losing by three in double-overtime against Bowling Green, and by three at Miami (Ohio). In the two losses, however, freshman Javon McCrea has been outstanding, scoring 18 points, grabbing 9 boards, and blocking 3 shots against Bowling Green, and following that up with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks against Miami.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 16 vs. Akron, Jan. 19 vs. Kent State, Jan. 22 at Ohio, Jan. 25 at Western Michigan
8. Bowling Green (11)
A tremendously disappointing non-conference season for Bowling Green ended on a positive note, with the Falcons finishing with three straight wins over Manhattan, Texas San Antonio, and at St. Louis. Bowling Green carried that momentum into conference play with a double-OT win at Buffalo, before getting beat by 17 points at Kent State. The Falcons still struggle on the offensive end, but sophomore forward A'uston Calhoun has come on of late, averaging 19 PPG and 8.3 RPG over the last three contests.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 16 vs. Miami, Jan. 19 vs. Ohio, Jan. 22 at Akron, Jan. 25 at Toledo
9. Northern Illinois (8)
Northern Illinois opened the MAC season with one of its most balanced offensive efforts of the season, featuring four double-digit scorers in what ended up as a five point home loss against Ball State. Three nights later at Eastern Michigan, the Huskies were back to being a one-man show, with Xavier Silas scoring a game-high 31 points, but also committing 7 turnovers, in the two-point win. The lack of a second offensive threat has been well-discussed, but the lack of an interior presence could be what holds the Huskies back over the next several weeks.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 15 vs. Toledo, Jan. 20 at Central Michigan, Jan. 22 at Western Michigan, Jan. 26 vs. Akron
10. Central Michigan (9)
Central Michigan got a much-needed win earlier this week over Toledo. The win was the Chippewas' first over a Division 1 opponent since the day before Thanksgiving. Freshman Trey Zeigler had a big-time performance in the victory, scoring 30 points and hitting five three-pointers to bring Central Michigan its first conference win of the season, after falling in its opener at Western Michigan in overtime.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 15 at Ball State, Jan. 20 vs. Northern Illinois, Jan. 23 at Eastern Michigan, Jan. 27 vs. Miami (Ohio)
11. Eastern Michigan (12)
It took until January 8th and the first game of conference play, but Eastern Michigan finally got its first win over a Division 1 opponent in a 23-point blowout win at Toledo. Senior Brandon Bowdry continues to be a double-double machine, posting 19 points and 13 rebounds in the win, and sophomore Derek Thompson emerged with a 31 point performance in a two-point loss against Northern Illinois.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 16 at Western Michigan, Jan. 19 vs. Ball State, Jan. 23 vs. Central Michigan, Jan. 26 at Ohio
12. Toledo (10)
A three-game win streak in the month of December briefly catapulted Toledo out of the power rankings basement, but four consecutive losses, including blowout losses vs. Eastern Michigan and at Central Michigan, two of the league's worst teams, have brought the Rockets back to the bottom of the MAC. Three of Toledo's next four games are at home, but the offense (50 PPG in first two MAC games) needs to pick it up to have a chance to be competitive.
A Look Ahead: Jan. 15 at Northern Illinois, Jan. 19 vs. Western Michigan, Jan. 22 vs. Ball State, Jan. 25 vs. Bowling Green

Tired after a long day. 16:21:17 loke That's where the magic happens for the Lisp reader 16:21:39 beach I see. 16:21:48 loke TO get something working for Climaxima, I had to rework that code a bit, and ended upw ith this: 16:23:39 loke https://github.com/lokedhs/maxima-client/blob//src/cmdline.lisp#L122 16:23:45 loke Oops 16:23:48 loke Bad link 16:25:00 loke https://github.com/lokedhs/maxima-client/blob/new-reader/src/cmdline.lisp#L122 16:25:41 beach I see. 16:25:47 beach There is a lot of overlap there, right? 16:25:55 beach Might call for some code factoring? 16:26:43 loke Yes 16:26:50 loke Sorry, I committed to the wrong branch 16:26:54 loke here's the proper code 16:30:56 loke https://github.com/lokedhs/maxima-client/blob/new-reader/src/cmdline.lisp#L111 16:30:58 loke There 16:31:32 loke Specifically, look at the hack I had to come up with in order to detect when Shift-Return was pressed so that I can support multiline input 16:33:08 beach I see, yes. 16:33:53 loke It would be really nice if some of the stuff I do there could be done through official API's 16:34:01 beach I agree. 16:34:18 beach You are uniquely well placed to start designing such an API. 16:34:30 loke I had to dig quite deep into private API's, and I have no idea if my LOGAND with 256 is even going to work on all platforms :-) 16:34:50 loke Possibly :-) 16:35:45 beach You would not be on your own. You could do what I do. I write things down, submit the suggestion for review, revise, iterate. 16:36:45 loke Yeah. I'll look into it :-0 16:37:25 beach One more thing. I think it natural for APIs to be invented this way. 16:37:37 beach Initially, there is only one application, so it doesn't matter. 16:37:51 beach Then, more applications come along who want to do similar things. 16:38:13 beach So then it is time to think, generalize, design, etc. 16:39:28 beach What I am trying to say is that I am not accusing the authors of that code of bad design. 16:39:54 beach moore33 and Athas was it? 16:40:01 loke I have no idea :-) 16:40:28 loke But what has become very clear to me (as I mentioned earlier) the code suffers from two things: 16:40:49 loke 1) It's almost purely focused on supporting Lisp interactions 16:41:17 loke 2) It's apparently written on very slow machines, because there is a lot of optimisations that might not be needed. 16:41:41 beach Yes, I see. 16:42:40 loke You can take a look at the Lisp parser that is part of DREI. 16:42:50 loke I'll link you 16:43:12 beach People also have a tendency to optimize without having done the work, i.e. either tested it or having a back-of-envelope calculation. 16:43:22 beach Oh, I think I know that one. 16:43:29 beach I am afraid I wrote it. 16:43:36 loke This is the function that returns the (possibly incomplete) form at point: 16:43:38 loke https://github.com/lokedhs/McCLIM/blob/master/Libraries/Drei/lisp-syntax.lisp#L2011 16:44:08 loke You wrote that? 16:44:25 beach I wrote the initial version for sure. 16:44:51 loke OK, am I correct in guessing that this is the origins of your parser stuff? 16:44:53 beach Athas modified it of course. It used to be part of (first) Climacs. The Athas extracted the Drei part. 16:45:47 beach My parser stuff? 16:47:37 beach Actually, I don't recognize it much. Must have been modified a lot by Athas. 16:49:44 beach Sorry. Got to go. My (admittedly small) family announced that dinner is ready. 16:49:45 loke beach: I mean that structural editing stuff you built for second climacs. 16:49:49 loke I can't remember what you called it. 16:49:59 beach Oh, no that's completely different. 16:50:04 beach Everything in Second Climacs is new. 16:50:08 loke I see 16:50:20 loke Could we use second climacs for LCIM editing instead of DREI? 16:50:28 loke CLIM even 16:50:35 beach That would be a good thing. 16:50:56 beach OK, I really need to go. 16:51:02 loke OK, see you :-) 16:51:04 beach I'll be back tomorrow. 17:44:23 ym Is McCLIM from quicklisp repo is broken? 17:45:10 ym Trying to eval examples from documentation gives errors of different kinds. 17:47:39 jackdaniel did you follow them verbatim? is the package correct? 17:47:51 jackdaniel also, if you did copy-paste from pdf, then you'll get all sorts of errors 17:48:18 jackdaniel [ pdf is known as a bad medium for having code copied from] 18:07:52 ym Why? 18:09:43 ym You mean the CLIM 2 User Guide PDF is not the right source of examples or when copy-pasting from PDF-file it's possibly adds some extra characters which may cause errors? 18:10:31 ym I tried different sources, HTML, PDF, writing myself. 18:11:03 jackdaniel I mean that when copy-pasting from PDF-file it is possible to add some extra characters 18:11:08 jackdaniel and it is nothing I could help with 18:11:31 jackdaniel as of examples that doesn't work for you, mind sharing an example? 18:15:02 ym http://bauhh.dyndns.org:8000/clim-spec/28-6.html#_1576 18:15:37 ym This one for example gives: "The slot CLIM-INTERNALS::MAX-VALUE is unbound in the object" 18:16:16 jackdaniel the first one (puzzle) is not a valid Common Lisp program (notice "...") 18:17:27 Inline ym: watch out for apostrophes 18:17:37 ym The second one. 18:17:44 Inline ym: most are replaced with normal quotation marks 18:17:48 Inline on copying 18:18:08 jackdaniel regarding second example, it indeed seems to be broken 18:18:15 Inline btw some of the examples in the pdf are broken yes 18:18:15 jackdaniel please report issue on github 18:18:42 jackdaniel I'd recommend looking at Examples/ directory in McCLIM sources 18:18:51 Inline ya that is better 18:18:53 jackdaniel they are better tested than snippets in the spec 18:18:54 ym Yep, demodemo works fine. 18:19:14 ym But... 18:19:18 ym (in-package #:clim-user) 18:19:18 ym (defclass hello-world-pane (clim-stream-pane) ()) 18:19:18 ym (make-pane 'hello-world-pane) 18:19:24 ym Am I doing it wrong? 18:19:38 jackdaniel make-pane must be invoked in a dynamic context of application 18:19:50 jackdaniel so you may call it for instance in :panes option for define-application-frame 18:20:03 jackdaniel calling make-pane "outside" such context will lead to an error 18:20:37 Inline heh 18:20:39 ym What caused such decision? 18:20:52 ym Not a lisp way IMHO. 18:21:13 jackdaniel this coerced second example will work: http://hellsgate.pl/files/a6ee470d 18:21:49 jackdaniel this decision is caused by the fact, that when you create a pane it must be associated with something it may be drawn on 18:22:05 jackdaniel when you don't have a dynamic context of the application, then you have no windowing context 18:22:09 jackdaniel so making pane doesn't make sense 18:22:28 jackdaniel you may make-instance of your hello-world-pane (though I'm not sure if this would be useful for anything) 18:23:33 jackdaniel as of being lispy, I don't know what is and what is not lispy. for instance whole CLOS-ology seems unlispy to me, but I'm sure 90% of lispers would agree that I'm wrong on that ;-) 18:24:18 ym It makes sense for experiencing and learning. I'd prefer it return any kind of lisp object and REPL print it. 18:24:31 ym But never mind. 18:27:34 jackdaniel ym: bright side of it is that if you run make-pane in clim-listener (which features repl) it shall work 18:27:53 jackdaniel because you are indeed in a dynamic context of the CLIM application 18:32:13 ym Sounds like framework. 18:33:12 jackdaniel I tend to believe, that "proper" lisp programs tend more to be like frameworks than libraries 18:33:40 jackdaniel the difference is that framework is something you build your applicaiton "in", while library is something you use "from outside" 18:35:18 ym Definitely not a choice of mine then. 18:35:31 ym Good luck. 18:36:52 jackdaniel thanks (I guess) 18:47:36 jackdaniel I've added annotation to this example in clim spec 18:47:47 jackdaniel slider should have initargs provided (because it is range-gadget) 18:48:00 jackdaniel for instance – (c slider :min-value 0 :max-value 200 :value 25)

Disney Guy wrote:Transit signal priority might not work that well with bus (or trolley) stops before the intersection (near side stops). If an operator opens the door again to board another passenger, then the time reserved for priority passage of the bus or trolley gets wasted and other traffic is delayed with no benefit to transit.
What is needed is an on board system whereby the transit vehicle, notably a two or three car train, cannot signal its presence to the traffic signal if any door is open and the motorman must hold down a button to request priority and that also prevents any doors from being opened.
Disney Guy wrote:The system described "can make the green arrive up to 14 seconds earlier and can extend the green up to 8 more seconds." I agree that the benefits would not be that great of the overall red light could last say 60 to 100 seconds.,
What is needed is to be able to insert short green lights for transit in between the subphases of a long red light. For example if, on an east-west trolley route, a cross street has separate phases for northbound and southbound mixed traffic, an east-west trolley only phase could be created on demand between the northbound and southbound cross street phases. In addition a trolley phase could occur both before and after a left turn phase for the same street as the trolley route instead of the either-or (always before vs. always after) we use today. Now, these insertions are not going to occur in every possible place on every cycle so the impact on general traffic should not be that great.
This could eliminate, say, a 25 to 40 second chunk of waiting time from the trolley route.
A hypothetical (long and technical) system is described here: http://www.cockam.com/serveme.htm

MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin was elected to another term in office this morning by earning an overwhelming majority of the votes cast in the Vermont Legislature.
After only brief discussion, members of the Vermont Senate and House of Representatives voted, 110-69, in favor of the incumbent Democratic governor over his Republican challenger, Scott Milne. Libertarian candidate Dan Feliciano received no votes.
As many times as I've been there, close to a half-dozen, maybe, I'm still not sure how to find the Birds of Vermont Museum in Huntington.
What I can say to anyone with even a passing interest in birds, nature or carving is that it is worth picking up an atlas (old school) or going online (non-Luddite) and learning how to get to the remote, gravel-surfaced byway of Sherman Hollow Road, where the museum may be found.

The entwined subjects of immigration and race have always hit home in our household.
Technically, I'm an immigrant, based on the laws in effect when I was 14 back in the late 1960s. My dad was born in England, my mom in Massachusetts, and I was born in England. I had to choose between England and the United States. I chose here; my dad already had.
My wife's dad is also first-generation Irish, and one of our sisters-in-law is a first-generation immigrant. And let's just say that our extended family is diverse.
I know envy is one of those deadly sins, but I can't help it. Other columnists can write pieces about their smart, charming and funny pets. Or heartwarming pieces about growing up with dogs and finding just the right one now, like my colleague Katie. That helped her win a New England Newspaper and Press Association Rookie of the Year prize.
I'm not jealous of that award. She earned it, and it's a little late for the particular honor for me. (See picture.) But the topic? That would be nice.

I am trying to shift from Alsa and Pulseaudio in Ubuntu 11.04 and intsall OSS4. The removal and installation went smooth and I successfully installed the latest OSS4 from mercurial repos. But I get no sound and it gives the message Input output error. I tried the stable OSS4 install also and it also gives the same message.
I have tried the same DAC on Solaris express 11 and opensolaris 2009 LIVE CDs in both the DAC works perfect and there is excellent audiophile grade sound. But as Solaris is difficult for me to install. I am good with Ubuntu or Archlinux. Why in Linux the OSS4 gives this error, is there no support for USb DACs on Linux OSS4 driver. Please help will be much appreciated as I am quite thrilled by the quality of sound output OSS$ gives compared to Alsa+Pulse in Ubuntu.
Thanking you

VIDEO: Warriors top Clippers to force Game 7
OAKLAND, Calif. — Game 6, a clinching opportunity, the chance to finally get away from a first round that tested them in agonizing ways the Clippers never could have imagined, and the best point guard in the world is hard to find.
Chris Paul is on the court for 34 minutes, except that it's not really Chris Paul. Maybe Cliff Paul. Maybe. But the inability to turn the corner with the ball, the challenge of staying with the Warriors' shooters in the backcourt, that is more like CP1.5.
The Clippers have a problem, in addition to the obvious of Golden State extending the series with the 100-99 win Thursday night at Oracle Arena. Make that problems, plural. They have an anything-can-happen Game 7 in Los Angeles on Saturday as part of a matchup where pretty much everything has happened before we even get to the actual crescendo, they have a wounded Paul while staring at a first-round elimination complete with a blown series lead for the second year in a row, and they have a concerning pattern.
Three seasons Paul has been on the Clippers, three seasons he has been banged up in the playoffs. A strained groin that carried over from the end of the regular season in 2012 followed by a strained hip flexor in the first round against Memphis, a bruised thumb in 2013 against the same Grizzlies, and now the strained hamstring and a bruised right thumb. He has persevered enough to play big minutes each time. He just hasn't been able to be his best.
This time, the right leg has been a factor much of the way, from clearly being bothered in Game 1 to the Clippers openly appreciating the extra recuperation in the schedule break of two days off before Games 3 and 4, to Paul laboring along in Game 6. The hamstring was often wrapped when he was out. The attention was always on when he was in.
"He's dealing with a lot of stuff," coach Doc Rivers said. "But listen. He's on the floor and Golden State doesn't care, bottom line. He does have injuries, there's no doubt about that. I'm sure (the Warriors) have some too, but I think once you're on the floor, you're on the floor. Chris is playing terrific to me defensively and that's what we need him to do in this series. It probably does take a little bit of the offense away, but I'm good with that."
Paul did give the Clippers 34 minutes on Thursday, a heavy workload under difficult circumstances with his mobility and ability to control the flow. But he made just 3-for-10 shots, had eight assists against four turnovers and scored nine points, his fewest of the series. All the Clippers combined to shoot 36.8 percent.
Now it's Game 7, the first time they have had one at home in franchise history, and the Clippers have to rely a lot on hope over what to expect CP3 will be able to give them. An earlier stretch of two games over seven days was not close to being enough healing time, as it turned out. A treatment regiment, sometimes constant, was not enough.
He has about a day and a half of recovery this time, from when the Clippers left Oracle Arena late Thursday, all Friday and until the scheduled 7:30 p.m. tip Saturday. He has one more chance in the series. After that, who knows.
"I'm OK," Paul said. "Tough game, bumps and bruises, you get through it. But we've just got to be ready for Game 7. Every game is different. Me and Blake (Griffin) both battled foul trouble tonight. We've just got to be ready for Game 7."

I noticed there is a chromaticLens PostFx shader in the folder, but it is not active or implemented into the system, so I tried to enable it, just to find that I cannot see anything.
Does anyone know how to enable it and what values are supposed to be used for the variables? Since I tried several values up to extreme numbers and still could not see any difference.

In the U.S., Tesla Motors has teamed up with Internet radio Slacker to stream songs in its cars through voice command, but in Europe the electric-car maker is going with music subscription service Rdio.
(Hat tip to GigaOm, which was first on this.)
Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk said at a town hall-style meeting in Amsterdam earlier this month that Rdio would work pretty much the same way that Slacker works on U.S. cars.
But why not go with competitor Spotify, Musk was asked.
Spotify wouldn't work with Tesla to integrate it into the car, Musk said in a video. "In the long term, that might change," he said.
Customers can stream Spotify, a Swedish privately held company, in cars made by Ford and Volvo.
For diehard Tesla fans, here's the full video, 56 minutes long. Musk talks about music and Spotify around minute 8.

Iwas riding along Gold Star Boulevard with my niece the other day when I remarked �I remember when this was all one big swamp.�
�What?� she exclaimed in disbelief as she looked at the string of office buildings, auto dealerships, medical clinics, etc.
When you look at bustling Gold Star Boulevard today, it does seem improbable. But it is a fact that, 60 years ago, the area from Glennie Street to Millbrook Street was a big wetland. Flocks of Canada geese dropped in there every fall on their journey south. Acres of cat-o-nine-tails and sedge grass bloomed every summer. There may have been muskrats hiding in the lush growth. The filling and reconstruction of the area changed that part of Worcester for all time. Chadwick Square would never be the same. I doubt if that kind of development could be done today with all the new regulations about wetlands.
I began to think about other topographical changes that I remember in the Worcester landscape. One was near Great Brook Valley, at the intersection of Lincoln Street and Route 12. Hard to believe, but that whole industrial area on the eastern side was part of the huge pig farm that the city used to operate. Hundreds of pigs wallowed in the muddy spots and were fed there daily with garbage collected by Worcester sanitation trucks. When the wind blew from the east, the golfers at the Worcester Country Club were much annoyed. That odiferous enterprise was not phased out until the 1930s, when the city built its first incinerator.
And then, of course, there was Lincoln Square. It had been a problem from the start in the 1600s, when the brook from Indian Lake cut it in twain. Various inadequate bridges were built over the decades, but flooding was a perennial problem. The brook eventually was channeled underground into a huge rock-lined storm sewer.
When I first saw Lincoln Square 80 or so years ago, the brook was gone but it still was an awkward intersection, dominated by train tracks that bisected it. Traffic between Highland Street and Belmont Street was stopped daily when the 5 p.m. freight train made its leisurely way across. Fire engines were sometimes held up for precious minutes. The square itself was cluttered. The old Salisbury mansion sat on the northern end.
Things improved in the 1930s when the Memorial Auditorium was built. To make way for that, the Salisbury mansion was moved up Highland Street to its current location. I recall seeing the old house jacked up on timbers and being hauled up Highland Street by big trucks. I was there when the World War I monument was dedicated. My uncle, Admiral Ralph Earle, president of WPI, was the main speaker.
Various plans for changing the square were proposed, but none made sense. Then, in a stroke of inspiration, the city hired Ole Singstad, the master tunnel builder from Norway. Mr. Singstad had engineered tunnels all over the world, including the Holland Tunnel under the Hudson River, the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, the first two tubes of the Lincoln Tunnel, the Callahan Tunnel in Boston and many more.
He looked at the layout and quickly came up with a plan � a tunnel for the railroad, a tunnel for north-south traffic, an underpass between Summer Street and Lincoln Street and a new system of traffic lights. That plan has since been modified, but it went a long way toward solving Lincoln Square�s main problems. I wish they had let old Ole have a crack at Kelley Square. He might have recommended a tunnel from Water Street to Millbury Street.
I recall other changes in Worcester�s topography over the last 80 years. The old Army�s Battery B � just a big field at the top of Fowler Street � was taken over by the city for its new airport, which opened in 1946.
A smaller change took place on George Street, now used for the annual Major Taylor climb. Major Taylor made history in the1890s by riding his bike up it, from Main Street to Harvard Street, a feat then believed impossible. George Street today is still steep, but not as steep as it was before Harvard Street was lowered by 15 feet or so. That cut away the top 20 feet or so of George Street, which was the steepest part. We once drove up it in our old Overland just so my brother could boast that he�d done it. He had to shift into first gear and even then it was a grind to travel that last 20 feet.
The old fairgrounds was another spot now unrecognizable. It was a big field just south of Norton Company and it ran right up to the shore of Indian Lake. The first airplane to land in Worcester used it. The circus made its annual visit there, and so did the old New England Fair, a notable event in those days.
There have been other changes in the last 80 years or so. The view up Castle Street, for example. In those days the hill above was crowned by the old Oread Institute, Eli Thayer�s college for women, one of the first in the country. It looked like a medieval fortress.
And there were others too numerous to be recalled by this old brain.
Suffice it to note that the topography of Worcester has changed a lot since the time of Daniel Gookin.
Albert B. Southwick�s column appears regularly in the Telegram & Gazette.

Snapshots from India: Rajasthani Eats
In Rajasthan, as in so many parts of India, variety makes the meal. Thalis rule, and the large silver plate will often have several little portions of stews made from legumes, vegetables, and grains; bread; a sweet treat; and occasionally a meat dish, such as mutton or chicken.
The assortment of food in this region contrasts mightily with its monochromatic landscape, a study in brown-green scrub. A lack of fresh vegetables forces Rajasthani cooks to be particularly creative with the sangri (desert beans) and other edibles that do grow here, and this lack of verdancy has also encouraged the colorful saris, turbans, and traditional clothes Rajasthanis are known for. Traveling through India's largest state, we stopped over in the Great Thar Desert, Jodhpur (the blue city), Jaisalmer (the golden city), and Jaipur (the pink city). We ate in restaurants, in homes, and near camels; and we ate well.
