Steve's mind wanders as he does his homework. "I'm never going to do well on this history test," he thinks. "My dad's right, I'm just like him — I'll never amount to much." Distracted, he looks down and thinks how skinny his legs are. "Ugh," he says to himself. "I bet the football coach won't even let me try out when he sees what a wimp I am."
Julio is studying for the same history test as Steve, and he's also not too fond of the subject. But that's where the similarity ends. Julio has a completely different outlook. He's more likely to think, "OK, history again, what a pain. Thank goodness I'm acing the subject I really love — math." And when Julio thinks about the way he looks, it's also a lot more positive. Although he is shorter and skinnier than Steve, Julio is less likely to blame or criticize his body and more likely to think, "I may be skinny, but I can really run. I'd be a good addition to the football team."
We all have a mental picture of who we are, how we look, what we're good at, and what our weaknesses might be. We develop this picture over time, starting when we're very young kids. The term self-image is used to refer to a person's mental picture of himself or herself. A lot of our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life experiences. This mental picture (our self-image) contributes to our self-esteem.
Self-esteem is all about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others — and how much we value, love, and accept ourselves. People with healthy self-esteem are able to feel good about themselves, appreciate their own worth, and take pride in their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they can't do well in anything.
We all experience problems with self-esteem at certain times in our lives — especially during our teens when we're figuring out who we are and where we fit in the world. The good news is that, because everyone's self-image changes over time, self-esteem is not fixed for life. So if you feel that your self-esteem isn't all it could be, you can improve it.
Before a person can overcome self-esteem problems and build healthy self-esteem, it helps to know what might cause those problems in the first place. Two things in particular — how others see or treat us and how we see ourselves — can have a big impact on our self-esteem.
Parents, teachers, and other authority figures influence the ideas we develop about ourselves — particularly when we are little kids. If parents spend more time criticizing than praising a child, it can be harder for a kid to develop good self-esteem. Because teens are still forming their own values and beliefs, it's easy to build self-image around what a parent, coach, or other person says.
Obviously, self-esteem can be damaged when someone whose acceptance is important (like a parent or teacher) constantly puts you down. But criticism doesn't have to come from other people. Like Steve in the story above, some teens also have an "inner critic," a voice inside that seems to find fault with everything they do. And, like Steve, people sometimes unintentionally model their inner voice after a critical parent or someone else whose opinion is important to them.
Over time, listening to a negative inner voice can harm a person's self-esteem just as much as if the criticism were coming from another person. Some people get so used to their inner critic being there that they don't even notice when they're putting themselves down.
Unrealistic expectations can also affect a person's self-esteem. People have an image of who they want to be (or who they think they should be). Everyone's image of the ideal person is different. For example, some people admire athletic skills and others admire academic abilities. People who see themselves as having the qualities they admire — such as the ability to make friends easily — usually have high self-esteem.
People who don't see themselves as having the qualities they admire may develop low self-esteem. Unfortunately, people who have low self-esteem often do have the qualities they admire. They just can't see that they do because their self-image is trained that way.
How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives. People who feel that they are likable and lovable (in other words people with good self-esteem) have better relationships. They are more likely to ask for help and support from friends and family when they need it. People who believe they can accomplish goals and solve problems are more likely to do well in school. Having good self-esteem allows you to accept yourself and live life to the fullest.
If you want to improve your self-esteem, here are some steps to start empowering yourself:
It's never too late to build healthy, positive self-esteem. In some cases where the emotional hurt is deep or long lasting, it can take the help of a mental health professional, like a counselor or therapist. These experts can act as a guide, helping people learn to love themselves and realize what's unique and special about them.
Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. People with high self-esteem do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with peers and adults, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes, disappointments, and failures, and are more likely to stick with something until they succeed. It takes some work, but it's a skill you'll have for life.

Comedian John Caparulo is perhaps best known as the under-dressed everyman on the E! hit show, Chelsea Lately. Cap, as he's known by his friends and fans, has also made multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Comedy Central Presents, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Next Generation of Blue Collar, and as a standout performer in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show. His first 1-hour special, Meet Cap, was released in 2009 and premiered on Comedy Central the same year. More recently, in addition to touring as a popular national headliner, Cap appeared as part of Ron White's Salute To The Troops on CMT, a network on which he became well-known as the host of the surprisingly hilarious Mobile Home Disaster. Caparulo's stand-up comedy has become a favorite for SiriusXM fans, which led to his former radio show The Mad Cap Hour, and currently, the Domestic Disputes podcast, which are both available on iTunes. His newest stand-up special, entitled "John Caparulo: Come Inside Me," launched on Netflix September 5th 2013, with DVD and CD versions following shortly after. Cap has also begun an innovative adaptation to the current media trends with Caplets – monthly clips of fresh stand-up comedy that can be viewed for free on his website. I am honored to have John Caparulo as my guest today in 7 questions. Continue reading

It's no secret that the bulk of UI and UX (user experience) work is being done today on mobile devices, both mobile phones and tablets. During the first three or four years in which mobile emerged as an important development platform (that is, since the 2007 launch of the Apple iPhone), its UI design and development ran on a separate track from desktop metaphors. However, it is now clear the two styles are merging. And the merger will look far more like mobile than desktop.

Perhaps the most dramatic step in that direction was the release of Microsoft's Windows 8 Metro UI last year, which was an obvious attempt to move the desktop to a mobile UX. Rather than relying entirely on desktop metaphors for its flagship OS, Redmond chose to embrace its mobile Metro UI characterized by scrollable, blocky, colorful, tile-based elements. Metro works very well on Windows-based phones. Users of those devices are not presently numerous, but they are consistent in their appreciation of the UI. On tablets, such as the Win8 tablet I use (not a Microsoft Surface, but a Samsung Slate), the UI works well, although I occasionally pop into the Windows 7 desktop metaphor due to its familiarity. On laptops and desktops, however, Windows 8 has encountered considerable resistance. I recently bought a test system laptop that runs Windows 8 and, I confess, using the new UI is truly frustrating and ultimately tiring. The poor reception of these devices makes sense. In the laptop version, the leap to the mobile metaphor is simply too great.
But Microsoft's error with Metro on the laptop and desktop is, in my view, simply a case of going too far too fast. It does not negate the fact that these platforms will eventually move to UIs driven by the mobile experience. A key part of that mobile experience is gesture recognition. As yet on business-style laptops and desktops, there is no gesture recognition capability, but that's beginning to change. In our lead feature article this week, Mike Riley looks at a new gestures SDK from Intel that relies on a Web-cam to map user actions to events and objects on the screen. I expect such tools will eventually be built into laptops and desktop displays. Already, some laptops have touch-sensitive screens a la tablets.
Desktop apps, just like Web apps, are also showing the effects of mobile. This is clearly visible in the new designs of icons and dialog boxes. The latter, which were often complex, multi-paneled widgets that required lots of interaction, have now been greatly simplified with far fewer options in a single pane. In addition, the use of widgets that can substitute for typing data values is becoming more widespread. For example, sliders are now much more common as a way to enter values and they will continue to gain popularity. Likewise, spinner controls.
Drop-down menus are evolving, too. The former style of multiple cascading menus is being replaced. Drop-downs today have a smaller range of options (due to mobile screens being so small and the need to have the entries big enough that a finger touch can select it), and they never use the cascading menu. The latter is being replaced by a dialog. The dialog might have several panes if there are many choices to make but the choices will be presented in small numbers with easy selection options.
Icons, too, are changing. Because of their reduced size on small screens, they typically make little use of colors. Hence, the decision on Visual Studio to use mostly black icons. (There is a certain confusion here, as Visual Studio is not likely to be run on devices other than laptops and desktops. Even though technically I can run it on my tablet, it's clearly not in its element there and its usability is greatly compromised on such a device. So, as I mentioned in my review of Visual Studio 2012, the design choice of mobile UI elements in Visual Studio seems a poor one. Like Windows 8, it's way too premature and it simply feels like Microsoft pushing Metro much too hard.)
In Web-based apps, the mobile metaphors are finding greater traction as well. One need only look at the new Google Mail (GMail) interface and see how it's changed over the last year to view the effects of this new direction: All icons are monochrome, the number of buttons is very limited, and there's a More button that keeps the additional options off the main screen. That button leads to a short drop-down menu of additional actions. The UI is comparatively clutter-free and the most common actions can be performed by a single response (click, press, etc.) from the main menu.
Of all the constraints that mobile devices impose, the one I'd most like to see migrate to the laptop and desktop is the intolerance for delays. On a phone or a tablet, the allowed delay between a gesture and a device response is about a half a second. Any more than that, and users will start repeating the action or shaking the device. On laptops and desktops, the delay is much longer: It takes several seconds, often more than five seconds, for a user to start trying remedial actions. Software has always felt comfortable stretching this limit. Despite the benefits of faster processors and more cores, applications have not seemed to get any faster in their response times. Let us hope the new tide changes this.
Either way, it's clear that the center of the UI/UX universe has moved to mobile and the concepts being pioneered there are being back ported to laptops and desktops, as well as Web apps. If this trend means removing my hand from the mouse or keyboard to get things done, I don't see myself embracing it soon. However, if it continues to emphasize simpler interactions, easier navigation, and more responsive applications, I'm all for it.

Lübeck Cathedral is a large brick-built Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck, Germany and part of the Lübeck UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 1173 Henry the Lion founded the cathedral to serve the Diocese of Lübeck, after the transfer in 1160 of the bishop's seat from Oldenburg in Holstein under bishop Gerold. The then Romanesque cathedral was completed around 1230, but between 1266 and 1335 it was converted into a Gothic-style building with side-aisles raised to the same height as the main aisle.
On the night of Palm Sunday (28–29 March) 1942 a Royal Air Force bombing raid destroyed a fifth of the town centre. Several bombs fell in the area around the church, causing the eastern vault of the quire to collapse and destroying the altar which dated from 1696. A fire from the neighbouring cathedral museum spread to the truss of the cathedral, and around noon on Palm Sunday the towers collapsed. An Arp Schnitger organ was lost in the flames. Nevertheless, a relatively large portion of the internal fittings was saved, including the cross and almost all of the medieval polyptychs. In 1946 a further collapse, of the gable of the north transept, destroyed the vestibule almost completely.
Reconstruction of the cathedral took several decades, as greater priority was given to the rebuilding of the Marienkirche. Work was completed only in 1982.
The cathedral is unique in that at 105 m, it is shorter than the tallest church in the city. This is the consequence of a power struggle between the church and the guilds.
The 17 m crucifix is the work of the Lübeck artist Bernt Notke. It was commissioned by the bishop of Lübeck, Albert II. Krummendiek, and erected in 1477. The carvings which decorate the rood screen are also by Notke.
Since the war, the famous altar of Hans Memling has been in the medieval collection of the St. Annen Museum, but notable polyptychs remain in the cathedral.
In the funeral chapels of the southern aisle are Baroque-era memorials by the Flemish sculptor Thomas Quellinus.

WINNIPEG — Music producer Karla Berbrayer is the incoming president of the Jewish National Fund, Manitoba/Saskatchewan region.
Since Rob Berkowits became the group's executive director about a year ago, "he has been bringing more younger people into our board," Berbrayer said.
"While we respect the advice and guidance of our senior members, we need to have younger people on board. I am a link between the younger and older members of the board."
Berbrayer is replacing Mel Lazareck, who has been Jewish National Fund (JNF) president here for the past six years. "I am honoured to be following in the footsteps of Mel Lazareck," Berbrayer said.
"And I am looking forward to working with the strong staff in the JNF office and building on the success of what has been done over the past few years in Winnipeg."
Lazareck, who is Manitoba's special representative to Israel, advising on economic and community projects in Israel, had wanted to step down earlier, but there was no one to replace him.
Now, with Berbrayer as president, Lazareck said he plans to remain on the JNF board and continue to work to strengthen the bond between Manitoba, Canada and Israel.
Berkowits has created a transition mechanism for the JNF board, as well as a handbook outlining the duties and responsibilities of board members. Thus, Berbrayer will serve a two-year term and will be succeeded by Jessica Cogan, her vice-president – a new board position.
Berbrayer is best known in Winnipeg's Jewish community as one of the founding producers of the popular Rady Jewish Community Centre's Music 'N' Mavens series, now in its 14th season, and the Rady JCC's Israeli Concert Series, in its 10th season. For the past three years, she has also been the producer of Rady JCC's Tarbut: Festival of Jewish Culture. As an independent producer and sourcer of largely Israeli musical talent, she has developed an international reputation and worked with a variety of other non-profit and arts and entertainment groups.
In addition to serving on several boards and committees, including Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, Shalom Residences and Herzlia Synagogue, Berbrayer was vice-president of the board of Community Respite Services of Manitoba and is a volunteer with Manitoba Riding for the Disabled.
She also books musical performers for the JNF's annual Negev Gala, she has been a JNF board member since 2009, and produced and co-chaired the 2012 Negev Gala, which honoured philanthropists Bonnie and John Buhler.
"There have been a number of positive changes at the JNF here since I became a board member," Berbrayer says. "There are a lot of new ideas happening, and we are going in new directions.
"We do more than plant trees. We have to continue to make people more aware of the JNF's other projects and initiatives."
Cogan, who is originally from Edmonton, has served on JNF's Manitoba/Saskatchewan region board since 2009. In 2012, she co-chaired, with Berbrayer, the Negev Gala.
A lawyer, Cogan participated in the March of the Living; she has been a member of the executive of Hillel – Jewish Student's Association at the University of Alberta and a member of the boards of the Jewish Federation of Edmonton, Aleph-Bet (a Winnipeg Jewish daycare) and the Winnipeg Beach Day Camp.
In 2009, Cogan participated in the JNF's Ambassador Program. She was one of 12 people from across Canada who toured Israel and were tasked with the mission of educating their specific communities about the projects that JNF support in Israel.

About Casio
Amongst Casio's most notable achievements is the first shock-proof watch. The Casio G-Shock premiered in 1983, designed by a Casio engineer named Kikuo Ibe who strove to "create a watch that never breaks." The Casio development team set out to produce a watch that would endure a ten meter free-fall, with ten bar water resistance, and a ten year battery life. With the creation of a hollow-structure case that encloses the module and glass components of the watch on all sides, the G-Shock met these requirements. The case design itself prevents any direct contact with flat surfaces against the glass and buttons. A scratch resistant, urethane band acts as an additional shock absorber. The G-Shock is updated twice annually, in addition to limited release editions that are sold periodically throughout the year, several of which become highly desirable collector's items.

Kickstarter is something of an inspiration. It's a home for all the projects and ideas that otherwise would simply become legendary Reddit posts. The crowd-sourcing platform has given life to products that have won over consumers pre-production (pre, pre-production even) and raised millions of dollars.
But it's not all unicorns and rainbows — it appears that Kickstarter might have Boys Club syndrome. Anita Sarkeesian recently started a Kickstarter campaign to fund and produce a series of Webinars about Tropes vs. Women in Video Games. "I love playing video games but I'm regularly disappointed in the limited and limiting ways women are represented," she wrote about the project. "This video project will explore, analyze and deconstruct some of the most common tropes and stereotypes of female characters in games."
Sarkeesian runs a site called Feminist Frequency where she blogs about women's issues and the Internet. Her Kickstarter idea apparently hit a nerve, because her Wikipedia page were subject to attacks from a handful of video game forum members.
You can see a screenshot of Sarkeesian's Wikipedia page here (warning: graphic language). There's also a variety of hateful comments left on her YouTube page promoting the project.
On the slightly brighter side, the ill will hasn't hurt the Kickstarter campaign itself: Sarkeesian has surpassed her goal of $6,000 and then some. The Webinar series is a go.
But it doesn't overshadow the fact that this isn't the first time a woman has been challenged on Kickstarter — or by Kickstarter. Blogger and artist Rachel Marone had her project shut down by the platform itself last year when a stalker targeting her using the site. "Everybody loves Kickstarter," she wrote about the incident. "They have, after all, revolutionized the economy… Unfortunately Kickstarter recently banned me for circumstances beyond my control."
Marone was cut from the site because a person that had been cyber stalking her for 10 years had spammed her Kickstarter page with hundreds of comments. Her account was later reactivated, and her manager contacted Kickstarter asking how the issue could be avoided in the future (since there is possibility of her cyber stalker targeting future campaigns she runs). The response: "If there is any chance that Rachel will receive spam from a stalker on her project, she should not create one. We simply cannot allow a project to become a forum for rampant spam, as her past project became. If this happens again, we will need to discard the project and permanently suspend Rachel's account."
The good news is that Kickstarter keeps a close eye on its community, and any lewd or harassing comments aren't going to make it very far on the site itself (you have to contribute to a project's fundraising goal in order to comment anyway). The bad news? That an attack mentality on the Internet is still as much of a problem as it is.

Resolving the Circulation Dilemma in Multifamily Buildings
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
August 29, 2012
Much like a beating heart, a circulation pump circulates heated water throughout a building for residents' use and back to its source. Some single-family homes have circulation pumps, but for multifamily housing, a circulation pump is an essential part of the water-heating system, and in some states it is required by the building code. Homeowners don't like the idea of letting a pump run 24/7 consuming electricity and wasting natural gas, when they need hot water only a few times a day, so they often unplug the circulation pump installed in their hot-water distribution system. As for multifamily buildings, without some kind of circulation pump, the tenants will waste a substantial amount of water and time. These are two sides of the circulation dilemma.

|Moral :
|The law of the conservation of energy is one of the most basic principles of physics. This principle would indicate that the amount of energy the microbrain has available cannot be more than it can draw from the lights in sickbay. Yet the thing is breaking through forcefields and threatening the entire ship! Can it really do this on the power it is drawing from a few lightbulbs? Or has the conservation of energy been overcome in the 24th century? (Actually this would explain more than a few things about Trek, but it's hard to believe.)
|Great Moment :
|The description of the microbrain's component parts is actually technically correct, so kudos for that.
|Body Count :
|One of the terraformers is killed.
|Factoid :
|Director Corey Allen also directed four DS9 episodes.
Further investigation reveals that a microscopic crystalline life form lives in a water layer just beneath the sands on the planet and had been trying to communicate to the scientists, whose terraforming project was gradually destroying its habitat.
When a sample of the crystal is beamed aboard, it begins to display rapidly increasing growth and energy levels. It quickly overpowers the containment field holding it, and is threatening to break out of sickbay. Analysis indicates that the crystal is photoelectric in nature, and is drawing its power from the sickbay lighting systems. When the lights are dimmed the creature loses power, allowing it to be safely contained.
Data manages to establish communication with the crystal life form, which is understandably angry at the "ugly bags of mostly water", it's name for Humanoid life forms. Picard is able to convince it that the harm done was unintentional, and that all terraforming efforts will now be halted. The creature agrees to a cessation of hostilities, and is beamed back down to the surface. The Enterprise departs the planet, having been informed by the aliens that full contact between the two races will be established in three hundred years, when it feels that Humans will be ready.
Where it all falls apart is in the last ten or fifteen minutes. The writers have decided that for dramatic purposes, the Microbrain is going to threaten the Enterprise. Having it grow bigger and more powerful is a reasonable way to accomplish this, but you have to wonder why the microbrains on the surface don't do the same thing to give us a planet littered with big fist sized crystals.
And then we get the explanation of how the brain is growing... it's drawing energy from the lighting systems in sickbay. As noted in the YATI, this just isn't possible. The amount of energy the brain puts out can't be any greater than the amount that goes in, and the average lightbulb doesn't put enough power out to heat a kettle in a reasonable time, let alone overcoming forcefields and such. The only way to get around this is to assume that the brain uses the tiny amount of energy it absorbs to do something technobabbly... create an energy field that draws power out of subspace or something. That wouldn't be a very satisfactory answer either, but at least it would be something! In a way I feel bad for complaining about this, because what I'm basically saying is that we needed more technobabble in this episode, and as a general rule technobabble isn't a good idea. But in this case, I think something was required.

I have been seeing a lot of imported strawberries in the grocery stores lately and that reminded me of the fact that strawberry season was coming in a few months. I also remembered that I had frozen a lot of strawberries from last year and they were still taking up a lot of my precious little freezer space. I would have to use the frozen strawberries before strawberry season starts! Besides I would need that freezer space for my ice cream makers bowl and all of the ice cream that I plan on making during the summer. 🙂
Recently I have been enjoying quick breads and I though that using the frozen strawberries in a strawberry quick bread would be a good idea. Since strawberries and sour cream go well together I wanted to use some in the quick bread. I found this recipe for a strawberry sour cream bread that sounded pretty good. Most quick bread are as simple as mixing the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients and then combining them but this recipe called for mixing them a bit at a time. It was still really easy and took almost no time at all. The baking bread of course filled my apartment with an amazing aroma. When the bread was still warm from the oven I had to give it the standard taste test with melting butter and it was really good! I had the strawberry sour cream bread for breakfasts during the week and I changed it up a bit each time. One morning I had the bread with some strawberry cream cheese and another morning I had it with some of the strawberry jam that I made last strawberry season and it was good both ways.
The strawberries looked great when they went into the freezer and they looked the same when they came out of the freezer but the nice red colour dulled when they thawed and they shrunk. The thawed strawberries certainly did not look all that great but they still tasted good. In fact I think that freezing the strawberries may have enhanced their flavour a bit. It seems that frozen strawberries are fine for when you want some nice strawberry flavour but they are not so great when you want nice looking strawberries. The frozen strawberries were good for a recipe like this bread but they are not the most photogenic. I like to try to eat locally grown foods when I can so in the end I guess it works out.

|Moral :
|Alas, the bad guys in this episode fall prey to a rather convinient bit of stupidity. After chasing their target all this way and finally getting access to her, they shoot the sickbay imaging chamber full of holes and then start to walk away without even bothering to check that she was really inside. Even worse, once he knows he is safe Archer then deliberately reveals his "clever" ploy to the Mizarians. Why can he possibly gain from this? Surely it would have been far better to simply let them go on their way believing that V'Lar is dead. The way this was written it looked like Archer threw away an advantage just so he could rub the bad guys noses in their failure.
When the ship reaches warp 5, T'Pol says it will take 53 minutes to reach the Vulcan ship. She then calculates that the Vulcan ship could head for them at warp 7, and reduce this to 12 minutes. In fact the true time would be 14.15 minutes. Technically T'Pol was wrong, and she really should have gotten an exact answer because she used the computer to work the answer out. But after so many speed nits in Enterprise the writers came veryclose to getting a tricky speed calculation right this time.
|Great Moment :
|Finally, a Vulcan who doesn't display Enterprise's patented "evil Vulcan" syndrome!
|Body Count :
|None. Even Archer survived this one wholly intact.
|Factoid :
|This episode establishes that Enterprise can indeed reach warp 5, but only at considerable duress and for short periods.

I've come to associate JFI with a celebration of ingredients and recipes - exotic and regular - fit for special occasions and everyday meals. And the more I thought about it, I wanted to feature an ingredient with the same features. And I picked Banana! We use almost every part of banana plant in our meals - raw banana, ripe banana, banana flower, banana stem - in our everyday meals and for special recipes reserved for festivals. And of course, serve food on banana leaves.
Here is a brief history of the origins of banana:
The true origin of Bananas, world's most popular fruit, is found in the region of Malaysia. By way of curious visitors, bananas traveled from there to India where they are mentioned in the Buddhist Pali writings dating back to the 6th century BCE. In his campaign in India in 327 BCE, Alexander the Great relished his first taste of the banana, an usual fruit he saw growing on tall trees. He is even credited with bringing the banana from India to the Western world.Banana has been mentioned in the Buddhist Pali writings dating back to the 6th century BCE as well as in national epic poems of India. The popular name Banana was given by Arabic slave traders.
So let's celebrate banana and the banana plant this month. To participate in this event:1. Prepare a dish with banana (green or ripe), flower, stem, or any other part of banana plant, and post it on your blog in the month of September. The choice of recipe is not restricted to Indian cuisine.
2. Please link to this event announcement.
3. Send me your recipe with the name of the recipe, name of your blog, permalink of the post and a picture (400x250) of your blog post to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include JFI in your subject line.
4. If you are a non blogger, please e-mail me your recipe and picture and I will include it in the roundup.
5. I would have posted the announcement yesterday, but the logo design took me a day! So feel free to use the logo :)
I am looking forward to your creative ideas, essays and recipes.Here are some of my previous entries with banana:
Banana Bundt Cake
Raw Banana Cutlets
Update: Plantains are starchy, low in sugar variety of bananas which trace their origins to India. The difference between banana and plantain is that plantains have to be cooked before eating. You can also use plantains for this round of JFI.

|Foods for Cancer Prevention
|Healthy eating is an important factor in cancer recovery. And, healthy
eating can go a long way toward cancer prevention. There are lots of nutritious,
delicious foods that provide dynamic resources for your body to achieve peak
physical conditioning.
Fruits and vegetables are packed with phytochemicals, chemical compounds that have powerful disease-fighting capabilities. Many recent studies have demonstrated that phytochemicals provide significant reductions in the risk of developing cancer and heart disease.
These wonder nutrients are found in broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, kale, and tomatoes. Tomatoes contain the important phytochemical, lycopene. In clinical trials, lycopene has demonstrated effective anti-prostate cancer activity and also improved cardiovascular blood flow.
Blueberries, cranberries, and apples are all rich in phytonutrients. Phytonutrients found in blueberries help prevent cancer and also help reduce inflammation.
Fruits and vegetables have hidden powers that enable us to live longer and live healthier

New London police committee seeks probe of Ackley
New London - The city's Police Community Relations Committee voted Tuesday to ask the City Council and Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio to investigate an "inappropriate" email sent last year from police Chief Margaret Ackley to Kathleen Mitchell, a local political gadfly.
In making the motion for the investigation, committee Chairman Jay Wheeler said the email "seeks to undermine me and this committee" and shows "poor taste" and violates the department's code of conduct.
The committee voted 5-0, with two abstentions, for Recording Secretary Marianna Gaynor McGuirk to draft a letter to the mayor and city councilors asking for an investigation into the email and to return the findings in writing.
The email - copies of which were included in committee members' packets for the meeting - is dated Sept. 29, 2011, includes Ackley's personal email address, has the subject line "Circle the wagons," and asks Mitchell to bring people "who are not afraid to stand up to Todd Lynch and Jay Wheeler," to attend a future PCRC meeting.
Lynch is a four-and-a-half-year veteran of the city force and president of the police union, and has been an outspoken critic of Ackley.
"I'm really tired of fighting Wheeler," the email reads, "it's never ending, call your friends, people need to be there to make sure that Wheeler and Lynch can't trick people into letting this committee be disbanded or becoming a police commission where Jay and company can determine which complaints are accepted and who gets investigated."
Ackley did not attend Tuesday night's meeting, nor did Wade Hyslop, who is the City Council's public safety liaison. Mayoral Executive Assistant Zak Leavy attended on behalf of Finizio.
"I'm not just going to let it go," Wheeler said of the email.
Lynch, who attended the meeting as the union representative, abstained from the vote. So, too, did committee member Kris Wraight, who later questioned what an investigation would achieve.
"I understand why it upsets you, but I'm not sure what an investigation is going to do," Wraight told Wheeler. "If these are the chief's words, it's her opinion and I don't see where an investigation is going to get us."
Committee member Wayne Vendetto said "an apology is due."
"I think it's a serious matter," he said. "I wasn't privy to this (email) until just last meeting and I know how (Wheeler) feel(s) because if I was sitting in that chair, I wouldn't be so quiet."
Lynch said that if a police officer had done a similar thing, the conduct would be investigated.
"If you hold officers accountable, administrators should be held to the same standard," he said.
Lynch filed a lawsuit in March against the city and the chief. The suit includes allegations of similar "libelous" emails sent between Ackley and Mitchell and alleges that Ackley disciplined Lynch at work for being an outspoken critic.
Leavy told the committee that Finizio repeatedly has said that "no one is above the law," and if an investigation is warranted, it would be conducted.
He sided with Wraight, though, saying that rather than undermining the committee, the email, which he noted was private correspondence, points to Ackley's "commitment to civil rights" because of her desire to keep PCRC meetings open to the public.
"Citizens (regardless who they are) can be assured that they receive the same investigation as anyone else and it doesn't matter who (which cop) they made the complaint against," the two-page email reads. "This was designed to assure that every citizen has the same rights."
The email concludes by asking Mitchell to "get the word out that citizens need to be there to keep Wheeler and Lynch in check."
Ackley did not respond Tuesday to an email seeking comment.

About Gross Profit Margin
A gross profit margin is the difference between sales and the cost of goods sold divided by revenue. This represents the percentage of each dollar of a company's revenue available after accounting for cost of goods sold.
If a company produces phones and earns $32 million in sales but pays $24 million for the items sold, then the company's gross profit margin would be ($32M - $24M) / $32M = 25 percent.
Cutting costs result in higher gross profit margins. If a company sells phones for 500 dollars and the cost of the producing the phone is $250, the current gross profit margin is 50 percent ((500-250)/500). If the company is able to reduce production costs from $250 to $200, the gross profit margin is 60 percent ((500-200)/500).
Note : Profit margins are very dependent on sector. Companies that sell bland potato chips may not have very high margins, but will sell a sizable quantity of potato chips. A company that sells consulting services will likely have higher profit margins, but sell lower quantities.

Oatmeal Scones with Dates
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...When I was a little girl we had a neighbor who made oat farls on St. Patrick's Day. If you're not to the shamrock born, it helps to know that a farl is a scone that's made from the same dough as plain Irish soda bread - the naked variety that's made with whole wheat flour and not much else. Oatmeal is usually added to the dough which is then cooked on a griddle until it's done. The griddle is a holdover from the days when there were no ovens in Irish kitchens and all cooking was done on the hearth. I have a morning meeting on Wednesday and I'm responsible for providing Irish treats to go with our coffee and tea. Because it's a large gathering, I want to make something that honors the spirit of the day, but, more importantly, is fast, easy and inexpensive to assemble and reheat. I've seen this recipe floating through the ether for several years now. I can't date the first occurrence of the recipe, so I 'm going to consider it one that is in the public domain. If I'm wrong, let me know and you'll be credited for the recipe. I tested the recipe last week and I'm happy to report that it makes lovely, soft scones that are dropped rather than shaped or cut. The sweetness of the scones comes from a very small amount of sugar and dates. These scones are more tender than most because cake flour is used to assemble them. They take 15 minutes to prepare and about 20 minutes to cook. It doesn't get any easier than this. Here's the recipe.
Oatmeal Scones with Dates...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2-1/4 cups cake flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter-cut into bits
1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1) Move a rack to middle third of oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2) Whisk milk, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until mixture is well combined.
3) In another bowl stir together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4) Stir in dates and milk mixture until a sticky dough forms.
5) Drop dough by 1/3-cup measures onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake scones for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden. (Alternatively scones may be dropped onto a hot greased griddle and cooked over moderate heat, turning them, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden on both sides and cooked through.) Serve hot with butter and jam. Yield: 8 servings.

I love scones and had no idea what a farl was! Interesting about the soda bread batter. I also have never used cake flour for my scones. And never would have thought of dates rather than raisins although I have used cranberries.
Looks like a great recipe.

Crazy Wisdom? Or Just Plain Nuts?
I just posted a new article on the Suicide Girls safe-for-work blog. It's called Crazy Wisdom - The Story of a Drunken Sex Pervert Who Revolutionized Buddhism.
It's about a new film called Crazy Wisdom. It's a documentary about the life and times of Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche, the controversial Tibetan master who founded Naropa Institute in Colorado, the first Buddhist university in the Western world. Perhaps still the only Buddhist university in the Western world. He was Pema Chodron's teacher. He also set up the Shambhala Foundation. Trungpa's influence extends far and wide. I'm not even certain what his connection is with Shambhala Sun, for example. I keep running into organizations and people who have associations with Trungpa that I did not know about.
I gave the film a good review because I enjoyed it a lot. It has flaws. For all its openness about Trungpa's boozing and sex, it does gloss over a few things that I think are important. The filmmakers are followers of Trungpa, so it's to be expected they'd make a film that shows him in a mostly positive light. One could just as easily make a film that painted Trungpa to be evil, awful and nasty. In fact that movie might actually be a little easier to make.
Trngpa was mostly very honest about himself and the things that he did. I say "mostly" because there were some things he kept hidden. One of these was the advice he gave to his HIV positive successor Osel Tendzin that Tendzin would not transmit his illness to others as long as he did certain purification practices. This was nonsense, of course. And people have suffered greatly because of it.
Yet over all, Trungpa didn't present himself one way and behave another. Which is why I think he never was subject of any of the kinds of scandals some other Buddhist masters like Genpo Roshi, Eido Shimano, Richard Baker and the rest have been. Those guys' big mistake was the give people the idea that they were saintly in the conventional sense. Perhaps they never directly said they were, but they allowed people to build that sort of image around them. If anything Trungpa probably made himself sound worse than he really was.
Although I like the film, I'm still not sure about Trungpa himself. I know people who I respect and trust who knew Trungpa and think he was a terrible person. But then again, even these people will admit Trungpa wrote some good books and did some good stuff for a lot of people.
Oddly enough, just before I got the DVD screener of Crazy Wisdom in the mail from the producers for the purpose of writing the review, I watched a Discovery Channel documentary about Shoko Asahara, the cult leader responsible for the poison gas attack on the Tokyo subway system in 1995. The documentary is on YouTube. I'll put part one at the bottom of this blog entry. You should be able to find the other three parts pretty easily yourself.
I was struck by the ways in which Chogyam Trungpa resembled Shoko Asahara. There are several extremely important differences between the two men. The biggest difference is that Trungpa was trained and ordained in a legitimate Buddhist lineage. Shoko Asahara just pretty much made his credentials up. And Trungpa was wise as well as crazy whereas Asahara was just crazy and had no wisdom at all.
Still, it would be easy for someone to be fooled into believing Shoko Asahara was also an example of crazy wisdom and to excuse his weirdness for signs of deep enlightenment. Trungpa was openly a boozer. Asahara made no secret of his use of LSD. Trungpa had a legion of uniformed guards who served as a kind of Buddhist militia. Asahara had all kind of bizarre paramilitary operatives in his cult. Superficially one could site a number of points the two men had in common.
And yet even before the subway gas attack, I got a very very bad feeling from Asahara and his group (they had a little shop near one of the train stations I used to use frequently and I went in a few times). I never got that kind of ill feeling from Trungpa. I felt a little odd about him, but I didn't get the sense of real dangerous insanity that I got from Asahara's material.
Which is to say that I think one has to go with one's gut in these matters. Sometimes the superficial intellectual view seems to be fairly even when looking at several different spiritual teachers. And yet in the pit of your stomach you can kind of tell which ones are bad and which are okay. That is, if you learn to recognize your own intuition.

Dental Sealants in Owings Mills, MD
Dental sealants act as a barrier to prevent cavities. The treatment entails applying a thin, safe plastic coating to the molars, which are the most commonly used teeth for chewing, protecting them from plaque and acids. The process of applying the sealants is painless. The plastic resin painted on the teeth bonds directly on to the tooth and hardens. Children and teenagers are the most common candidates for dental sealants as they are the most prone to cavities, however they are useful and suitable for adults as well. In Owings Mills, our dentist can apply sealants to patients of all ages.

Overlooking the iconic Fountains of Bellagio, Hyde Bellagio will mark the first-ever nightlife experience in Las Vegas from sbe and globally acclaimed design icon Philippe Starck. sbe Founder, Chairman and CEO Sam Nazarian collaborated with Bellagio to deliver this spectacular 10,000-square-foot, indoor/outdoor venue.
The mystery of Hyde Bellagio begins with an opulent Italian villa lost centuries ago. The space was said to have been the property of a famed Renaissance artist, best known for tailoring seductive grand festival masks. With an eclectic and refined taste, the artist fashioned his surroundings with worldly treasures, complemented by Italian marbles, reclaimed woods, lavish chandeliers, and towering glass doors that led to a secluded Tuscan garden. Rediscovered as Hyde Bellagio, the villa has been artfully brought back to life by visionary design icon Philippe Starck. Boasting a seamless indoor/outdoor space and floor-to-ceiling windows, Hyde Bellagio features an expansive terrace that showcases Las Vegas' most celebrated landmark, the Fountains of Bellagio. Elevating the décor, Hyde Bellagio introduces an exclusive early-evening experience beginning at 5 p.m. highlighted by an award-winning mixology program and a menu of intriguing small plates from Circo. Long after the sun sets, Hyde Bellagio evolves into Vegas' hottest nightlife destination, with 40 VIP tables, a diverse rotation of DJs and live performances.
Introducing LOST ANGELS Tuesdays at Hyde. LOST ANGELS represents a select gathering of insiders and influencers from Vegas and around the world, celebrating the culture, sound and style of Los Angeles from the exclusive confines of Hyde Bellagio. With an energy that's rogue, sexy and uncompromising, LOST ANGELS provides VIP experience for women and showcases an unprecedented rotation of DJs and musicians whose art has come to define LA's transcendent culture.

This installation started when I presented the idea of yarnbombing the inside of the Oakland Museum to The Oakland Standard.
No really – the idea started last year when The Russian and I were yarnbombing the museums of California. We thought it would be interesting to put yarnbombing on the street and in parking lots around museums . People are there to see art anyway so we thought it would be a pleasurable sensation to see knitted art on the way in and out of the museum.
I always think it is good to see knitted art any where , any time . The color and softness is relaxing and centering.
So during this period of yarnbombing museums I had gone over to The Oakland Museum of California and had measured the various poles on Oak street at the entrance . I had gone in to the museum and had looked over the collection to find pieces that I wanted to reference in the yarnbombing.
As I go along making art I naturally want to make bigger and more ambitious installations. After I had yarnbombed several museums I wanted to yarnbomb the inside of a museum. Actually my idea was to yarnbomb the inside and the outside of a museum , to use the street as a gallery for many international yarnbombers and in addition to make a yarnbomb collaboratively with a bunch of knitters to go in the museum . So my idea had three parts. This was the idea I presented to The Oakland Standard.
The day I gave my presentation I walked all around the museum and quickly decided to do the bannisters going into the museum, the bannisters going down into the museum , the bannisters going into the garden , 2 chairs , 2 benches and a tree . I wanted the installation to be so big that you couldn't dismiss it as just cute .
.These pictures are of the 8 bannisters going down into the garden.
The 8 bannisters are all this simple rectangular shape. I decided to knit them all in the same pattern of colors so that all 8 would connect as one piece. They look like they are walking – striding up the stairs of the garden.
The gardens at The Oakland Museum are free and are a great place to feel cool and peaceful . I've noticed that children in the garden play vigorously with the knitting and it is always sliding down the legs of the bannisters . This looks pretty good I think – although I do tidy them.
This whole yarnbombing installation is meant to be touched and everyone touches and rubs the knitting as they go by. I don 't know if they even notice that they are doing it but even if they don't notice – they are enjoying it.
We are all pretty lost in the little details of our lives . Art is always trying to surprise us into coming alive for a moment . Some artists use a shock in their art to disturb people awake. I'm taking objects that are very boring and unseen and making them jump out with bright knitting. Art is a great way to play.
Fun pictures of the installation at The Oakland Standard here
