This week, we're launching a new column from food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore that assumes the following to be true: there are good recipes, and great ones -- and then there are genius recipes. Genius recipes surprise us and make us rethink cooking tropes. They're handed down by luminaries of the food world and become their legacy. They get us talking and change the way we cook. And, once we've folded them into our repertoires, they make us feel pretty genius too.
- Kristen
That dastardly pith. We're taught to zest our lemons carefully, to shear off just the thin yellow top coat, so full of citrusy perfume and promise of martinis. As if, should we let our guard down, some of the bitter, spongy white underbelly -- the pith! -- might sneak in and ruin everything. (And sometimes it does.) So we dutifully leave it behind after we've had our way with juice and rind, like the fifth quarter of the fruit department.
But Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray, founders of the famed River Café in London, knew better.
Heroes of simple, lusty Italian flavors (remember, they spawned The Naked Chef), Rogers and Gray realized that, taken in the right proportions, some pith would add depth but not bitterness to a sweet sorbet. So, in their London River Café Cook Book,they instruct us to pulverize a whole chopped lemon, pith and all, and temper it with ample strawberries and sugar.The process is enough to convince anyone, young or old, that the kitchen is an exciting place to be. Just 3 ingredients make a series of quick, colorful transformations. In less time than you might spend watching babies doing funny things on YouTube today, you get to see not only what strawberries look like as they surrender and slacken into a hot pink soup, but also what happens when chopped lemon and sugar become one -- going from sandy to molten slush in just a few pulses.
And because this effortlessly dissolves the sugar, you get to bypass making a simple syrup, a step often considered mandatory in sorbet recipes. In other words, this is a truly no-cook sorbet. Score one for pith!
And did I mention that all of this happens in one food processor bowl? Not only does that mean fewer vessels to wash, but you also don't have to worry about scraping out the sticky lemon sugar that clings to the sides. (Is that stressful to anyone but me? Every bit left behind is like a small personal failure.) Here, the rush of strawberry juices washes away any lingering clumps (and guilt).
Now if you're eyeing your lemon, thinking it looks especially bloated and pithy -- or you're fretting that your strawberries aren't as sweet and dainty as they looked at the greenmarket, you have the chance to rein them in, by adjusting the final hit of lemon juice to taste before sending the brew into your ice cream maker (Don't have one yet? They're worth it.).
It's sweet and cold, with little pucker, and since you don't strain it, you get gleeful pops of seed and shreds of rind (of course, you could always pass it through a strainer if textured sorbet isn't your thing, but for the true, rustic Rogers and Gray experience, don't).
How do I suggest working this into your summer? Serve it as an invigorating dessert after something grilled and meaty. Or ease a fuschia-colored scoop into a glass of seltzer or ginger ale and go sit in the sunshine.
It also works as a reliable mood enhancer when you walk in the door hot and grumpy, and in plying children or anyone else you'd like to obey you.The River Café's Strawberry Sorbet

Mfashion necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 89 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
We need a new logo that's on par with Vogue, Elle, and high end department stores. It needs to look Very Professional.
The key words are sophsticated, luxe, edgy, expensive looking and feeling, very fabulous. Our readers are cosmopolitan women. I want something that makes them say WOW. And I want to say WOW, thats a KILLER logo.
It should look professionally done. If it looks amateurish then I cant use it.
Desired Color Scheme:
No pink please! Theres a reason I can't use pink. And avoid lilac, but colors needs to work with occasional pink banners. Im very open to color combinations that look sophisticated.
Desired Style:
On par with Vogue and Elle, and high end department stores, but with the edginess of PerezHilton if possible.
The style should be Luxe, high end, expensive looking and feeling, new york city street smart woman.
Accepted File Formats:
.pdf, .gif, .jpg
We need a Killer new logo for our site here http://www.pursepage.com. I hate our current logo and want a new logo that's amazing and will bury it. I want something that says PROFESSIONAL and "We know what we're talking about."
Style and lettering:
Overall it needs to be very sopsticated. I want to look like a professional and successful women's magazine. Where smart and wealthy women would shop. Where Oprah would shop. Where celebrity women would shop.
They wouldnt go to a place where the look was cartooney and made for young girls. They'd go to a place thats expensive, edgy, sopsticated, etc.
I would like something that is recognizable, like the logo for YouTube.
Feel free to play around with ideas and textures.
For example like a zipper opening, or having the logo on a hanging leather tag. A patent or croc texture in the logo. Im open.
The words should be easy to read. Please do not do a cursive vivaldi-font thats hard to read. I'd rather have a hot logo done in an easier to read font, than a logo you cant read in a vivaldi-type font.
Its ok if the font has a little style, but the words Purse Page should be BAM in your face and easy to read.
We Want:
- Sophsticated
- Loads quickly
- Expensive looking
- Fabulous
- Somewhat feminine
- Hot to death ;)
We dont want
- Cartoony
- Too cutsey girly (Hearts, swirls, flowers)
- Cursive letters. The words in the logo should be easy to read
The women who read our site will also visit Vogue, Tiffanys, Elle, Mac cosmetics, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Nordstroms, TheKnot, IVillage, Glam.com. So we need something thats on par with the level of those places.
Here is a big challenge. We cant do pink or lilac, however some of the banner ads I serve have pink borders in them. So I need a color that will be flattering with pink ads. Without being pink myself.
Im very open to colors that look sophisticated.
Blues, reds with silvers, etc. Im open and color is easily fixed.
Other things:
A very minor consideration, I would like a purse in the logo only if it looks good. If not, then leave it out.
IF you ARE going to use a bag in your logo, then the bag needs to look very expensive, not a cheap $20 bag at Target. Try looking at a Hermes Birkin bag or a high end Louis Vuitton for inspiration and see what I mean. See the logo we have now on PursePage.com, see how I want the bag to look expensive?
I want the word "The" in a small font in front of "Purse Page", as an accent.
I want people to start saying "The Purse Page", but I feel the "The" should be smaller than the other letters.
Please put the words all horizontal and not verticle.
Yes: The Purse Page
Logos I love:
YouTube, Cricket Phones, Vogue Magazine's logo, PerezHilton.com (LOVE Perez's logo), Mac cosmetics.

Gingerbread lanterns
December 5, 2010
Are you bored of gingerbread houses? Why not make a lantern instead? A gingerbread lantern is a fun and easy project. You need gingerbread dough, hard candies in different colours, sugar, icing and sprinkles.
First you crush the hard candies.
Roll out the gingerbread dough. Cut out 4 rectangles or squares directly on a lined baking sheet, I used a lid from one of my tins for the rectangles. Cut out patterns with cookie cutters and stamp the dough with text and cutters. The only limit is your imagination! Fill all the holes with the crushed candies. Bake in 175 degrees C for about 10 minutes until the candy has melted.
Let the pieces cool. If the edges are a bit crooked, polish them at a 45 degree angle with a very sharp grater (I use one of my microplane). Melt the sugar (be careful!). Dip the edges in the sugar and carefully assemble 4 rectangles together. When completely cool and stable, decorate with icing and sprinkles!
Once ready put a small candleholder with a candle in each lantern. And remember to never leave a candle unattended!

Hello, in this tutorial, I am going to teach you how to use mouse and keyboard bindings to call an event that is not set with the command setting that we have been using so far in the other tutorials in this series. The issue that many people face is that once the program is in mainloop() it cannot be modified, and calls cannot be made to it. Bindings allow for a pre-prepared callback function to be made for a certain event. Following is a simple program that has a binding that prints the location of the click of a mouse.
#! /usr/bin/python # MouseClick.py - To demonstrate Tkinter key clicks import Tkinter class App: def __init__(self): # Set up the frame self.root = Tkinter.Tk() self.frame = Tkinter.Frame(self.root, width=100, height=100) # set up a mouse event self.frame.bind("<Button-1>", self.click) self.frame.pack() # Set Tkniter's main loop self.root.mainloop() def click(self, event): print("Clicked at: ", event.x, event.y) if __name__ == "__main__": App()
I am pretty sure that this code is explained well enough by comments, but at the command self.frame.bind the arguments are the type of event that is being monitored and the callback function, which only does what it is programmed to do when and only when the handler is triggered. That way, now, inside the mainloop, when a click is made the corresponding click function springs into action.
There are many different possible events, but here is just one more example program before we move on. This program shows the capabilities of multiple handlers at the same time.
#! /usr/bin/python # KeyPress.py - To demonstrate Tkinter key presses import Tkinter class App: def __init__(self): # Set up the frame self.root = Tkinter.Tk() self.frame = Tkinter.Frame(self.root, width=100, height=100) # set up a mouse event self.frame.bind("<Button-1>", self.click) self.frame.pack() # Now set up a key event! self.frame.bind("<Key>", self.key) self.frame.pack() # This call gives the frame focus so that it receives input. self.frame.focus_set() # Set Tkinter's main loop self.root.mainloop() def click(self, event): print("Clicked at: ", event.x, event.y) def key(self, event): # Make sure the frame is receiving input! self.frame.focus_force() print("Pressed", event.keysym) if __name__ == "__main__": App()
This program responds to clicks and keys. The necessity for setting focus initially is so that the user, in their hurry to run it, they don't have to click on it!
So now that you have seen two simple programs, it is time that we discussed the different types of events. At this point in the tutorial series, I will cover the basic events that you may encounter (which is pretty much all you need anyway).
Mouse Bindings:
- <Button-1> - This can also be <ButtonPress-1> of just <1>. This is an event that occurs when the Mouse button is pressed. The right mouse button is <Button-3> and the middle button is <Button-2>. The most widely accepted style is <Button-*> not the other derivatives.
- <B1-Motion> - This event is called when the mouse is dragged as the mouse button is held down. (Note: B2, B3 are also options as consistent with the event above).
- <ButtonRelease-1> - This is triggered when whatever mouse button is released. The last x and y coordinates of the mouse are relayed to the function.
- <Double-Button-1> - This is what happens when a widget is double clicked. (Notes: The word Triple can be used as well, and when a double click event is called, so is a single click event.
- <Enter> - This means that the mouse has entered the widget's area.
- <Leave> - This is called when the mouse leaves the widgets area
- <FocusIn> - This event is called when this component or a child component gets the user's focus.
- <FocusOut> - This event is called when this or a child component loses focus.
As if those mouse events weren't enough, there are actually more:
Keyboard Events:
- <Return> - This event is called when the Enter key is pressed. Return can be placed with the name of any special key, such as F1 or Escape. The name of the keys can be found by using the second program that we build above (thought it was useless? Think again.)
- <Key> - This is called when the user presses any key. The actual key that was pressed is found in the member char in the event structure that is passed to the callback function.
- a This important binding is called when the user types the key that is specified. However, it must be a key that when the program above is run, the result is a single key like 'a' and not like 'space'
- <Shift-Up> - This event is called when the user presses the Shift key and the up arrow. 'Shift' can be replaced by Alt and Control.
This next one is miscellaneous, but rather important so here goes:
- <Configure> - This event is called when the configuration of a widget is changed, such as when the frame changes size.
Now, these are all certain events that could happen during mainloop(). Next, let's examine the event structure that is passed to the callback. There are 9 main parts to it:
- x, y This tells mouse position.
- x_root, y_root These tell how far from the top-right corner of the screen you are.
- char This returns a string containing the CHARACTER CODE pressed as a string.
- keysym This tells the KEY SYMBOL, not the CODE or character code.
- keycode This tells the current key code.
- num This is the button number that influenced the action.
- width, height After a resize is made, if a handler is set up for it, this is the new size for the frame.
- type This merely tells the type of event.
Binding Scopes
Right, now that you have these you can edit the programs that I gave you at the beginning of the tutorial and edit it slightly to see the different outputs (try to replace 'keysym' with 'char' or 'keycode') just so that when you must develop a full application, you have the ability to do so.
Finally, there are 3 more things I must discuss. There are 3 types of binding, instance binding, class binding, and TopLevel bindings.
The only difference is on what scale the binding refers (such as a Text widget instead of anywhere). The bind keyword sets a binding onto whatever component and only that one. The bind_class keyword is unrecommended, as it re-binds the standard bindings that Python sets up. Finally, the bind_all keyword bind the binding to an entire application.
I hope that part was clear.
If you have questions, feel free to ask and I'll try to help if I can.

Surviving Ireland's Friendliest Marathon
It's coming to that time of year, when exhaustion and leg-pain give way to… more exhaustion and leg-pain, actually. September is going to be all about survival. August began with the Connemara 100-miler, followed by the Longford Marathon last Sunday (I'll get back to that in a minute) and there are three more marathons on the cards for September – Dingle on the 1st, Sligo on the 15th and the Mooathon on the 30th. I'm not expecting to set any land-speed records on those three given the lack of recovery time. The plan, such as it is, is to get through September injury-free and then take a few weeks off before attempting to beat my PB in Dublin at the end of October. Which would be pretty sweet if it works! Incidentally I have gotten my cow costume for the Mooathon and am currently looking for someone to be the back end.
Moving swiftly on, the Longford Marathon was on last weekend. Billed as the 'friendly marathon in the heart of Ireland,' the event attracted a large crowd of about 800 competitors to Dublin Street for the half, full and ultra marathons, as well as a full marathon relay. It's one of the older marathons in Ireland, initially organized in 2002 by Fr. Ciaran McGovern and Liam Fenelon – first man in Ireland to run 200 marathons and our new honorary president in the Marathon Club of Ireland. Back then, it attracted 275 runners and raised €25,000 for St. Christopher's services. That figure has increased to €150,000 in the years since then.
Last Sunday saw yet another early start (I'm starting to think I might have a better chance of breaking 4 hours more often if I didn't have to get up at 5am for most of these marathons!) After picking up the race-pack at St. Mel's College, I had a few hours to spare. So naturally, I endeavored to use that time productively to prepare myself mentally for the race ahead…
Fast-forward to 11am and the start of the race. We began with a lap of the town, rendered somewhat more difficult by the fact that I already had a seven-minute mile under my belt before the start; I'd forgotten my timing-chip and had to leg it to the car-park and back to the start-line again (I guess the preparation wasn't so great after all…).
Although in hindsight it might seem just a tad foolish, I decided to take another shot at breaking 4 hours, on the dubious basis that I usually run well the week after doing something really stupid. So after doing some quick mental arithmetic (4 hours = 240 minutes … 26.2 miles in a marathon … 240/26.2 = 9.16), I decided to attempt running consistent sub 9-minute miles for the whole thing. As you can see here, everything was going to plan for the first 14 miles. Then, as usual, an equipment failure scuppered me. This time it was the watch, which decided to stop working just after the 2 hour mark. So I was running blind, without a watch or heart-rate monitor, for most of the second half. Needless to say, this really wasn't helping my cause.
Nonetheless, it was still looking good until late on; three hours hadn't passed by the time we hit the 18-mile marker. But in the end, everything caught up with me. My legs weren't properly recovered from the Connemara 100, and it was so hot that I had to run topless for most of the race, which was embarrassing for just about everybody. After about 20 miles, we hit a long hill on the way back into the last village before Longford, and the game was up. From then on, it was just about survival; I met up with a fellow Madventure alumnus called Tom along the way, as well as an American lady who had decided on a whim that she wanted to run a marathon while on holiday in Ireland (as you do) and Graham Whittaker, who ran a fantastic race to finish in the top 10 of the ultra-marathon event. Together, we helped each other on through the final stages. Finally, I ran the last mile into Longford town centre with Larry Rigney, and just for fun, decided to sprint to the finish.
So to sum up, it was an educational race; normally 4:22:39 wouldn't be an especially difficult time for me, especially on a flat course, but I really had to work hard for it on this occasion. For the rest of the marathons in September, I'll be happy if I can maintain my times around this sort of level, before taking a few weeks off and really pushing to beat my PB (3:56:59) in Dublin at the end of October. Of course, the best-laid plans can come undone but I'll give myself a fighting chance. In the meantime, check another one off the list!
Finally, a big thanks to everyone in Drogheda & District AC who sponsored me over the last few weeks, much appreciated and as always, it's all going to an amazing cause.

Reuters –
MILAN (Reuters) – Telefonica will not exercise a call option to increase to 100 percent its stake in Telco, the holding company that controls Telecom Italia, the chairman of the Spanish telecoms group told an Italian daily on Thursday.
"The structure of the new accords is very clear: Telefonica cannot own more than 49 percent of Telco," Cesar Alierta was quoted as saying in financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore.
"We have no intention of exercising the call (option)."
Telefonica reached a deal in September with other shareholders in Telco allowing it to gradually take over the investment vehicle.

A prayer for you and your great loss. He is now with God.
A prayer for you and your great loss. He is now with God.
I refuse to tip toe through life, only to arrive safely at death.
muskie, so sorry to hear about Nick.
So sorry to hear that Nick has passed. I hope your most love-filled memories of him sustain you now and forever.
I am so sorry. SCI sucks. It rips families a part. Destroys the injured. Enough is enough! Sending you hugs and strength for the days ahead.
Wish you strength and love in these times. SCI is a deck no one should be dealt.
Muskie, my heart goes out to you and your family. I read your post and the tears still wet my cheeks.
My deepest condolences to you.

Over the last few years there has been huge concern throughout South Africa regarding the amount of new clubs being started. This raised concerns with older clubs especially since the new clubs started and patch up immediately. This was seen as a total disrespect and was not acceptable amongst clubs that have been practicing the code. As most of the Old School Bikers felt that respect was earned and patching up immediately was being disrespectful to the patch. There was an overlap on names and patches that aggravated and exacerbated the situation even further leading to forceful removal of patches.
As presidents of the Western Cape who believes in a united biking fraternity this soon became a topic of discussion and evolved into protocols being drawn up, documented and agreed upon by all presidents. These protocols have been posted just over two years on Motor Cycle South Africa and Motorcycle Association of Western Cape websites. Despite all of this, clubs was registering on MSA and then patching up immediately.
This led to further frustration and based on investigation found that the lack of understanding the protocols was the biggest reason for immediate patch ups.
To prevent the situation from deteriorating any further the Western Cape took a pro-active stance and via MAWC and the PM mandated a task team to deal with all clubs new and old. Hence the Western Cape Bikers Task Team was started and to date has had a very positive spin off in monitoring, educating and guiding new clubs on protocols.
The main aim and objective of the WCBTT is bring about awareness of protocols amongst all the clubs. With the support and backing of the presidents and MAWC it helped to stream line the process at a very rapid pace in a very short time frame.
All new clubs in the province now have to meet with the WCBTT once they reach the end of the first three months used for registering the name and patch on MSA. This period is also used as an objection period from any existing clubs guarding against duplicating names or copying of patches. Prospect clubs being approved after the first three months are introduced by the WCBTT at the MAWC meeting as a prospecting Front Patch club and after a further nine months patched up as a club. All new clubs refusing to follow protocols are brought before the presidents in MAWC for a final decision which could result in being blacklisted and banned from all biking activities and function until such time that they are prepared to follow protocol.
We would like to expand the concept of the Task Team and protocols to the other provinces since we deal with many clubs from other provinces wanting to start up chapters in Western Province. As a Province we are enjoying the true spirit of biking with the respect shown from the brotherhood that understand that as brothers we cannot just turn a blind eye and take the ostridge approach while we witness biking spiraling out of control.
Over the last twelve months the WCBTT have been in consultation with over eighty new clubs and chapters wanting to start up in WC. The outcome has been over whelming with clubs that have patched up without following protocol removing their patches and following protocol. Success rate has been 99% with one chapter being blacklisted in the Western Cape by the Presidents. All new clubs that are compliant are introduced to the presidents at the official monthly meeting as a front patch club on probation or a fully patched club that have followed protocol.
The WC biking fraternity has over the last twelve months bought into the concept of having an independent team dealing with new clubs. They have become part and parcel and act as true ambassadors of the WCBTT. This approach has to a larger extend paved and streamlined the process with all clubs taking ownership of the Protocols and embedding amongst the biking fraternity.

When you walk past me in the shopping centre, you don't give me a second glance, because like you, I am just one of the millions of people who work tirelessly to make our way in this world and try to support our families.
Let me put on my leather waistcoat with its 'patch' or club colours embroided on the back then suddenly I am just a biker. An unruly, uncouth, lawless member of society. You see me on my motorcycle wearing my "patch" and assume the worst. You place me in a little box, which contains all the preconceived, ill-informed, decades old notions you have of what a biker is.
There are bikers who display those traits that you have in your head. In the main that is not the case. Yes, we do have the irresponsible bikers who give biking a bad reputation. There are over 200 registered motorcycle clubs in the Western Cape, there are bound to be some bad apples as in any other area of life. Are all car owners' drag racers? Are all men rapists? Are all black people criminals? Are all white people racist? You see, when you place an entire group of people into that one little box, you are generalising. Your reaction to that group is then fed by your generalisations. Generalisations tend to lead to intolerance and prejudice.
Most of the motorcycle clubs in the Western Cape have constitutions and a code of conduct. They have a President and his officers who ensure compliance with that constitution. They may even belong to a motorcyclist association (e.g. Motorcycle Association of the Western Cape – www.mawc.co.za) who also has a constitution that needs to be adhered to. They have committee meetings where each officer (President, Treasurer, Road Captain, etc.) gives feedback on his/her specific responsibilities. They have protocols for prospective members to follow to ensure that an individual is a fit to their specific club. They try and test him to gauge his loyalty to the club and its membership so as to ensure that when he finally becomes a full member, he will hopefully never bring the club and his "patch" into disrepute. The mechanisms of how clubs work varies from club to club but the essence of the above remains the same.
Now for the shocker! Motorcycle Clubs in the Western Cape annually raise hundreds of thousands of rands for charity. Almost every registered club has a charity or charities, which it supports. Every weekend there may be up to 3 club arranged events where clubs from different walks of life and different cultures get together and support a specific club in their fundraising endeavors. Yes. You read correctly. EVERY weekend. The charities bikers' support includes hospitals, orphanages, old age homes and various Non-Profit Organisations (NPO's). They raise money for cancer research. They have 'Blood Runs" and donate 100's of litres of blood annually. They donate school shoes to children in poorer communities just before the onset of winter. They hold soup kitchens and collect blankets and non-perishable goods every winter for the less fortunate. The list is endless. Motorcycle Clubs have incorporated the love of riding motorcycles and spending time with like-minded individuals with the need to help others. When you see that large group of bikers wearing their leather waistcoats on a weekend riding down the highway together, 9 out of 10 times they are on their way to support a motorcycle club fundraiser. And most of them do all this in-between family commitments.
There are Christian, Masonic, Veteran, Social Riding and various other Motorcycle Clubs/Associations within the broad spectrum of biking. Biking is way too varied and colourful to place it in a little box.
During the week, just like you, we get in our cars; get on the bus, train and taxi and head off to work to put food on the table. Some of us might use our bikes so as to not be part of the morning and afternoon traffic congestion. Just normal people who have a different way of socializing; people who have turned that socializing into a charitable endeavor.
So…. what do you do with your weekends?

Blogdosts... I have gone back to the old format. Jai ho! Am looking for other columns that I'd written during my Monaco break. It's going to be a steamy summer in more ways than one!
Randy Andy ( Prince Andrew) is older and appears like a middle-aged traveling salesman ( well, at least to Delhi's miffed journos after he refused to speak to them). At the glittering soiree I'd mentioned in an earlier post, the Prince was minus any Showgirls ( no Marilyn Monroe clones that night!), but in terrific spirits. Must have been the Dom.
Last night at Mumbai's most loved, most coveted club, the posh and snooty Willingdon, I enjoyed a relaxed and delicious dinner with the children. And then came the pleasant surprise - we spotted Magna ( and my former) boss, Nari Hira having dinner at one of the tables overlooking the golf course. He was looking wonderful, and has promised to make a date with us next week. I so love him!
This appeared in Sunday Times...
This appeared in Sunday Times...
While the Goa-ing is good….
" Can you believe it? He came to this dinner by cab!Yes, he actually took one of our Mumbai taxis. Oh, that's him… the guy in that simple, blue linen shirt.No body guards, no entourage." The 'him' in question was
It's much too early in the game to go gaga over Parrikar.That he means business, is evident. That he is well-educated (IIT) and erudite is equally obvious. As good leaders ought to be! Since that isn't the case in India, a Manohar Parrikar attracts extra attention.Combine that with the silly 'People Like Us' urban syndrome, and you get the drift.Overheard that evening were comments like, " He speaks good English! He is articulate and soft spoken. He doesn't chew paan or pop paan masala into his mouth. Why, he even drinks beer! He is one of us." The verdict was unanimous : Parrikar is kosher - a man of the world. A sophisticate. Someone who can be safely invited to a glamourous soiree without the hosts worrying about any faux pas being committed. Plus, he has a sense of humour - he joked about the billionaire quotient on the lawns. Manohar Parrikar was the surprise package for a lot of the invitees that night, most of whom had not heard of him till they arrived at the party to socialize and schmooze. That Parrikar was happy to be just another guest, and made no attempt to network with the VIPs present, added to his appeal. Some of the other politicos present must have felt diminished in his presence, since nobody bothered with them and their hefty bodyguards.
Shouldn't Parrikar's conduct be the norm in any case?Should we really be astonished to meet a regular, no fuss, no frills chap who is confident enough to discard outdated protocol?Isn't it about time we dumped this ridiculous and very expensive drill? It's tax payers' money that goes into those massive security operations. It is we who pay for the half-a-dozen escort cars and cops. These extravagant privileges belong to a bygone era.Today's leaders should be treated like professionals from any other field. They are there to do a job, and deliver results .That's it. Why treat them like demi-Gods? If Manohar Parrikar behaved 'normally', we should not be surprised, nor should we applaud. If anything, we should insist on all the other high-and-mighty C.M's behaving 'normally', too. We are equally to blame if we fawn and fall over backwards in their presence… using social opportunities to suck up to elected representatives, like they are royalty, and we their humble subjects. Manohar Parrikar has shown the way. It's a class act worth emulating. Are other netas listening??

Hey Geeks
I'm currently in the throes of a broadband investigation and could use some input from you geniuses.
I live out in the country, about 10 minutes' drive from the nearest city and 4km from the nearest whisper cabinet. I receive ADSL internet from Slingshot and use a Draytek Vigor 2830vn Modem/Router.
My speeds have always been poor (obviously) but the first few times I changed internet plans with Slingshot my speeds did increase. For the last year or so now my speeds have been sitting under or around the 1.2Mbps area with a ping of 45ms to Auckland.
Everything was going swimmingly until just over a month and a half ago; suddenly I started experiencing slower speeds around peak times which progressively got slower until I was experiencing serious drop outs fairly regularly.
This meant browsing the Internet became near impossible (let alone gaming or using teamspeak/skype). I performed isolation tests (removing filters and plugging the phone line directly into the modem and connecting only 1 pc, switching phone jacks etc.) and no difference was made, I'd still get crazy ping fluctuations of up to 2000ms and speeds down to a few Kilobytes per second.
I called Slingshot and requested that Interleaving be turned on, this resulted in my non-peak speeds increasing to 2.2mbps and my ping to Auckland increasing to 65ms (which is to be expected).
While I have now seen a massive improvement in speed during these peak hours of 6pm to 10pm weekdays and all day Saturday, the speed still drops to 0.8mpbs at times and quality of connection (which is the key here) is still poor, resulting in bad VoIP quality etc.
However, my upload speed has remained a rock solid 0.45mbps throughout the whole affair.
I ran a test using the diagnostic at www.myconnectionserver.com and received the following results:
A basic analysis:
A Graphed analysis:
(Hyperlinks don't seem to be working sorry, just copy paste!)
Note that in the graphed analysis, the upload speed is fairly stable and the wait between TCP packets is acceptably low. But it's a completely different story for download. As you can see the wait times between packets at times are gigantic and the stability of the speed is very eratic.
Do any of you Net Boffins know whether these download problems are being caused by hardware (exchange/cabinet etc.) or if there is something more sinister at work?
Any insight into this would be awesome (and do check out that site if you are a novice, it explains a whole heap of things and has some very useful tools).
