With vegetable-focused dishes for main courses, sides, pasta, eggs, pizza, soups, salads, and tarts, the book is full of food that I want to eat for each season of the year. There wasn't a single recipe in the book that I would not want to try. This weekend, I'll be making the Smoky Chipotle Black Bean Chili with Rice Pilaf and Summer Vegetable Salsa. I've marked the pages for Spicy Noodle Hot Pot with Bok Choy, Shitake Mushrooms, Ginger, Lime, and Peanuts; Baked Penne with Silky Fennel in Hot Pink Sauce; Savory Bread Pudding with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Corn, and Cilantro; and Farro with Balsamic-Rosemary-Roasted Shallots and Grapes over Roasted Portobellos. These are vegetable dishes with big flavors, great texture, and plenty of decadence. There are buttery crusts, melted cheeses, crunchy toppings, and chewy grains. And, the photos throughout the book show how beautiful the dishes are as well. I'm sure several more things from this book will be showing up around here soon.
Making the tian was simple enough after slicing and chopping all the vegetables. Onion, bell pepper, and garlic were sauteed before becoming the bottom layer in a baking dish. Chopped sun-dried tomatoes and thyme leaves were the next layer. That was followed by rows of marinated sliced tomatoes and zucchini, and the breadcrumb topping was the finishing touch. It was a really good reason to use the oven in the summer, and this makes great use of zucchini that's always so abundant this time of year. So, I say, go for it. Turn on your oven in July.
Mediterranean Zucchini, Tomato & Bell Pepper Tian with Pine-Nut Crumb Topping
Recipe reprinted with publisher's permission from The Fresh and Green Table.
{Tians} It wouldn't be possible for me to write a main-dish vegetable cookbook without including one of my layered summer vegetable dishes. Over the years, I've done lots of variations on these Provençal tians, and my friends tell me they make them over and over again. The secret to their flavor is letting them cook long enough for the tomato (and other vegetable) juices to reduce, caramelize, and mingle with the onions. But this particular recipe gets added flavor from sun-dried tomatoes and bell peppers on the bottom, and pine nuts in the top crust. I love to cook it in my enameled cast-iron oval gratin dish, but other 2-qt/2-L shallow baking dishes, like a 9-by-7-in/23-by-17-cm heatproof glass one, work fine, too. Take this dish to a potluck or picnic. It will be a hit, I promise. But if by chance you wind up with any leftovers, you'll love those, too, as it tastes great the next day.
Serves 4
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus 5 tbsp/75 ml and more for the baking dish
3 tbsp chopped toasted pine nuts
3/4 cup/115 g cup fresh bread crumbs
3/4 cup/85 g coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (I use the food processor)
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp honey
Kosher salt
1 1/2 small zucchini (about 12 oz/340 g), cut on the diagonal into thin (1/8- to 3/16-in-/3- to 5-mm-thick) slices
1 1/4 lb/570 g (about 4 or 5) small to medium red and orange ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 3/16 -in-/5-mm-thick slices (If using medium tomatoes, halve them before slicing.)
2 small onions, cut crosswise into thin slices (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 small or 1/2 large red or yellow bell pepper (about 4 oz/115 g), cored and very thinly sliced
2 tsp minced garlic
3 tbsp finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°/gas 5. Rub a shallow 2-qt/2-L baking dish with a little olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the pine nuts, bread crumbs, 2 tbsp of the Parmigiano, 1/2 tsp of the thyme, and the 2 tsp olive oil. Mix well.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, 2 tbsp of the olive oil, and 1/4 tsp salt. Put the zucchini slices in one medium bowl and the tomato slices in another. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp thyme to each bowl, and drizzle each with half of the vinegar mixture. Toss gently. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
3 In a medium heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions and bell pepper are limp and the onions are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer the onions and bell pepper to the prepared baking dish and spread them in an even layer. Let cool slightly. Top the veggies with the sun-dried tomatoes and the remaining 1/2 tsp thyme.
4 Starting at a narrow end of the baking dish, arrange a row of overlapping tomato slices across the dish, propping the slices up against the end of the dish at an angle as you go. Sprinkle a little Parmigiano on the row of tomatoes and then arrange a row of zucchini slices, slightly overlapping each other and slightly overlapping the row of tomatoes. Sprinkle Parmigiano on that row and continue to arrange alternating rows of tomatoes and zucchini, sprinkling each with Parmigiano, until you get to the other end of the dish. You should have just about the right amount of zucchini, but don't worry if you have extra slices; you will definitely have extra tomato slices (and ones that you've chosen not to use because they've fallen apart!). But as you are going along, if it looks like you will have a lot of extras, gently push the rows back up toward the end of the dish where you started to make room for a few more rows.
5 Scrape any remaining seasoning and juices from the bowl with the zucchini over the veggies. (Leave the extra tomato juices behind or use them in a gazpacho!) Sprinkle any remaining Parmigiano over the veggies. Drizzle the veggies with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and top with the bread crumb–pine nut mixture. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until well browned and the juices have bubbled for a while and considerably reduced, about 65 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The government is shut down. There was a deadly chase in the nation's capital. But the reason Albuquerque Journals are selling out across town has nothing to do with all that seriousness. Fans are clamoring for copies of Friday editions with a fake obit for Walter White.
Placed by "Breaking Bad" fans who said they wanted "closure" after the series finale Sunday, the notice appears on page A4 of Friday's Journal. It's headlined "White, Walter" and includes a photo of Bryan Cranston, the actor who played the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin on the popular AMC drama filmed in Albuquerque.
The obituary says the 52-year-old "founded a meth manufacturing empire" and he died "after a long battle with lung cancer and a gunshot wound."
Journal Editor Kent Walz says his digital team reports online traffic for the White obit and a story explaining its origins is about 40 times that of a typical story, and the library says calls for copies of the paper have been nonstop.
"We won't have single copy sales numbers until next week, but the circulation department says some locations have called saying they were out of copies and asking for more," he said. "I understand people are selling them on eBay for $7 or $8."
Walz said newspaper managers did have a discussion about whether to accept the ad.
"We decided to publish it, along with the story explaining how it came about and who submitted it," he said. "We also felt it should be not be published as part of the regular obituaries, both because it was of a TV character and out of respect for families that had lost loved ones. That explains the location on page A4."
The Journal did get one complaint, he said, "from somebody who says he had avoided knowing what happened to Walter and was going to watch the episode later. He said we ruined it for him."

One of the confusing things to entrepreneurs, investors and educators is the relationship between customer development and business model design and business planning and execution.
When does a new venture focus on customer development and business models? And when do business planning and execution come into play?
Here's an attempt to put this all in context.
Don't Throw the Tomatoes
I was in Washington D.C. last week presenting at the ARPA-E conference. I spent the next day working with the National Science Foundation on the Innovation Corps, and talking to congressional staffs about how entrepreneurial educational programs can reshape our economy. (And I even found time to go to the Spy Museum.)
One of the issues that came up is whether the new lexicon of entrepreneurial ideas – Customer Development, Business Model Design, Lean, Lean LaunchPad class, etc. – replace all the tools and classes that are currently being taught in entrepreneurship curriculums and business schools. I was a bit surprised since most of what I've been advocating is complementary to existing courses. However, I realize I've primarily written about business model design and customer development. Given that I'm speaking this month in front of entrepreneurship educators at the NCIIA conference, I thought I should put it in context before they throw tomatoes at me.
Search Versus Execution
One of the things startups have lacked is a definition of who they were. For years we've treated startups like they are just smaller versions of a large company. However, we now know that a startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. Within this definition, a startup can be a new venture or it can be a new division or business unit in an existing company.
If your business model is unknown – that is just a set of untested hypotheses- you are a startup searching for a repeatable business model. Once your business model (market, customers, features, channels, pricing, Get/Keep/Grow strategy, etc.) is known, you will be executing it. Search versus execution is what differentiates a new venture from an existing business unit.
The primary objective of a startup is to validate its business model hypotheses (and iterate and pivot until it does.) Then it moves into execution mode. It's at this point the business needs an operating plan, financial forecasts and other well-understood management tools.
The processes used to organize and implement the search for the business model are Customer Development and Agile Development. A search for a business model can be in any new business – in a brand new startup new or in a new division of an existing company.
In search, you want a process designed to be dynamic, so you work with a rough business model description knowing it will change. The model changes because startups use customer development to run experiments to test the hypotheses that make up the model. And most of the time these experiments fail. Search embraces failure as a natural part of the startup process. Unlike existing companies that fire executives when they fail to match a plan, we keep the founders and change the model.
Once a company has found a business model (it knows its market, customers, product/service, channel, pricing, etc.), the organization moves from search to execution.
The product execution process – managing the lifecycle of existing products and the launch of follow-on products – is the job of the product management and engineering organizations. It results in a linear process where you make a plan and refine it into detail. The more granularity you add to a plan, the better people can execute it: a Business Requirement document (BRD) leads to a Market Requirements Document (MRD) and then gets handed off to engineering as a Functional Specifications Document (FSD) implemented via Agile or Waterfall development.
Searching for a business model requires a different organization than the one used to execute a plan. Searching requires the company to be organized around a customer development team led by the founders. In contrast, execution, (which follows search) requires the company to be organized by function (product management, sales, marketing, business development, etc.)
Companies in execution suffer from a "fear of failure culture", (quite understandable since they were hired to execute a known job spec.) Startups with Customer Development Teams have a "learning and discovery" culture for search. The fear of making a move before the last detail is nailed down is one of the biggest problems existing companies have when they need to learn how to search.
The idea of not having a functional organization until the organization has found a proven business model is one of the hardest things for new startups to grasp. There are no sales, marketing or business development departments when you are searching for a business model. If you've organized your startup with those departments, you are not really doing customer development. (It's like trying to implement a startup using Waterfall engineering.)
Entrepreneurship curriculums are only a few decades old. First taught as electives and now part of core business school curriculums, the field is still struggling to escape from the bounds of the business plan-centric view that startups are "smaller versions of a large company." VC's who've watched as no startup business plan survived first contact with customers continue to insist that startups write business plans as the price of entry to venture funding. Even as many of the best VCs understand that the business 'planning' and not the 'plan' itself, are what is important.
The trouble is that over time – this key message has gotten lost. As business school professors, many of whom lack venture experience, studied how VCs made decisions, they observed the apparently central role of the business plan and proceeded to make the plan [not the planning], the central framework for teaching entrepreneurship. As new generations of VCs with MBA's came into the business, they compounded the problem ("that's how we always done it" or "that's what I learned (or the senior partners learned) in business school.")
Entrepreneurship educators have realized that plan-centric curriculum may get by for teaching incremental innovation but they're not turning out students prepared for the realities of building new ventures. Educators are now beginning to build their own E-School curriculum with a new class of management tools built around "search and discovery." Business Model Design, Product/Service Development, Customer Development, Startup Team-Building, Entrepreneurial Finance, Marketing, Founder Transition, etc. all provide the startup equivalent of the management tools MBAs learn for execution.
Entrepreneurial education is also changing the focus of the class experience from case method to hands-on experience. Invented at Harvard, the case method approach assumes that knowledge is gained when students actively participate in a discussion of a situation that may be faced by decision makers.
The search for a repeatable business model for a new product or service is not a predictable pattern. An entrepreneur must start with the belief that all her assumptions are simply hypotheses that will undoubtedly be challenged by what she learns from customers. Analyzing a case in the classroom removed from the realities of chaos and conflicting customer responses adds little to an entrepreneur's knowledge. Cases can't be replicated because the world of a startup too chaotic and complicated. The case method is the antithesis of how entrepreneurs build startups – it teaches pattern recognition tools for the wrong patterns – and therefore has limited value as an entrepreneurship teaching tool.
The replacement for cases are not better cases written for startups. Instead, it would be business model design – using the business model canvas as a way to 1) capture and visualize the evolution of business learning in a company, and 2) see what patterns match real world iterations and pivots. It is a tool that better matches the real-world search for the business model.
An entrepreneurial curriculum obviously will have some core classes based on theory, lecture and mentorship. There's embarrassing little research on entrepreneurship education and outcomes, but we do know that students learn best when they can connect with the material in a hands-on way – personally making the mistakes and learning from them directly.
As much as possible the emphasis ought to be on experiential, learner-centric and inquiry-based classes that help to develop the mindset, reflexes, agility and resilience an entrepreneur needs to search for certainty in a chaotic world.
Lessons Learned
- The search for the business model is the front end of the startup process
- This is true in the smallest startup or largest company
- The goal is to find a repeatable/scalable model, and then execute
- Execution requires operating plans and financial forecasts
- Customer and Agile Development are the processes to search and build the model
- Product management is the process for executing the model
- Entrepreneurial education needs to develop its own management stack
- Starting with how to design and search for a business model
- Adding all the other skills startups needs
- The case-method is the antitheses of an entrepreneurial teaching method

Bow hunter Pictograph.
"Horseshoe Canyon, formerly known as Barrier Canyon, is in a remote area west of the Green River and north of the Canyonlands National Park Maze District in Utah, USA. It is known for its collection of Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) rock art, including both pictographs and petroglyphs, which was first recognized as a unique style here. A portion of Horseshoe Canyon containing The Great Gallery is part of a detached unit of Canyonlands National Park. The Horseshoe Canyon Unit was added to the park in 1971 in an attempt to preserve and protect the rock art found along much of its length.
Human presence in Horseshoe Canyon has been dated as far back as 7000-9000 B.C., when Paleo-Indians hunted large mammals such as Mastodons and Mammoths across the southwest. Later inhabitants included the Desert Archaic culture, the Fremont culture, and Ancestral Pueblo People. Occupation by the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloans was relatively brief; it is believed that the canyon was abandoned by Native American peoples by 1300 A.D.
The Great Gallery is one of largest and best preserved collections of Barrier Canyon Style rock art in the United States. The gallery was a product of the Desert Archaic culture, a nomadic group of hunter-gatherers predating the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloans. The panel itself measures about 200 feet (61 m) long and 15 feet (4.6 m) high. The panel contains about 20 life-sized anthropomorphic images, the largest of which measures over 7 feet (2.1 m) tall. Reproductions of the paintings are in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Denver Natural History Museum."

Testocyp Info
This medication is used in men who do not make enough of a natural substance called testosterone. In males, testosterone is responsible for many normal functions, including growth and development of the genitals, muscles, and bones. It also helps cause normal sexual development (puberty) in boys. Testosterone belongs to a class of drugs known as androgens. It works by affecting many body systems so that the body can develop and function normally.
Testosterone may also be used in certain adolescent boys to cause puberty in those with delayed puberty. It may also be used to treat certain types of breast cancer in women.
How to use testosterone cypionate intramuscular
This medication is given by injection into the buttock muscle as directed by your doctor, usually every 1 to 4 weeks. Do not inject this medication into a vein. Dosage is based on your medical condition, testosterone blood levels, and response to treatment.
If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use a calendar to mark the days you will receive an injection.
Do not suddenly stop using testosterone if you have been using it regularly for an extended time or if it has been used in high doses. In such cases, your body will no longer make its own testosterone, and withdrawal reactions (such as tiredness, weakness, depression) may occur. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions right away.
Abnormal drug-seeking behavior is possible with this medication, and it is frequently misused for its muscle-enhancing effects. Do not increase your dose, use it more frequently, or use it for a longer time than prescribed. Doing so may increase serious side effects (such as increased risk for heart disease, stroke, liver disease, ruptured tendons/ligaments, improper bone development in adolescents). Properly stop the medication when so directed.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
What conditions does testosterone cypionate intramuscular treat?

This drug may affect your cholesterol and may increase your risk of heart or blood vessel problems (coronary artery disease). Your doctor will monitor your cholesterol level closely.
Tell your doctor if you become bed-ridden (unable to walk) for a prolonged time while using this medication. Your doctor may monitor your blood calcium level to prevent problems.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Video game maker Atari's U.S. operations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in an effort to separate from their French parent company, which is filing a similar motion separately in France.
In a statement, Atari says the move is necessary to secure investments it needs to grow in mobile and downloadable video games.
Atari's U.S. operations have shifted to focus on digital games and licensing, including developing mobile games, and have become a growth engine for its owner. France's Infogrames Entertainment first took a stake in Atari in 2000. It acquired the remaining stake in 2008 and changed its name to Atari S.A.
But the U.S. operations have been better performing than the rest of the company. In fiscal 2012 digital and licensing revenue both grew significantly and contributed 70 per cent of revenue, while sales in bricks-and-mortar stores declined.
In December, Atari S.A. said a credit agreement it entered into with investor BlueBay — its main shareholder and only lender — would lapse at the end of the year and the company was seeking other ways to raise capital. It added that it expects to report a "significant loss" for fiscal 2012.
On Monday, Atari S.A. said it and its European operations would file related bankruptcy procedures in France concurrent with the U.S. bankruptcy filing.
CEO Jim Wilson said the moves were the "best decision to protect the company and its shareholders." The auction process in U.S. bankruptcy proceedings will "maximize the proceeds" going to shareholders, he added.
Creditors include accounting firm Deloitte & Touche, and retail stores Kmart and Wal-Mart Stores, although none are owed more than $250,000. Blue Bay is not listed as one of the U.S. operations' creditors.
Atari, which turned 40 last year, was a videogame pioneer with games like "Pong" and "Centipede," but has changed ownership several times amid financial problems. In its filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York, Atari said it had $1 million to $10 million in assets and $10 million to $50 million in debt. It is seeking approval for $5.25 million in debtor-in-possession financing from investment firm Tenor Capital Management.
Atari said it expects to sell its assets or confirm a restructuring plan within the next three to six months.
Atari S.A., which trades on the Euronext Paris market of NYSE Euronext, has requested trading of its shares be suspended.

It's Vogue, dahling: How did we miss this?! Just shy of Wimbledon, Vogue.com used their Vogue Daily outlet to post a 110-year history of tennis fashion, called the "Evolution of Tennis Fashion." The 26-picture slide show scoots through the early 20th century as eventually makes it to today's looks, punctuated by the Williams sisters and Maria Sharapova. Our favorite look? Katharine Hepburn rocking high-waisted shorts in the 1940s (above, with Ana Ivanovic). | TSF Vault: Vogue
Through the (on court) years: Yahoo's Busted Racquet tennis blog edited by Chris Chase is also giving a through-the-years look, but they're focusing on classic matches. Recently they've looked at the classic Pete Sampras-Roger Federer Wimbledon 2001 encounter, and the last Slam Chris Evert would ever win: beating Martina Navratilova at the 1986 French Open. But our fave they've written up so far has been from another Martina: Martina Hingis. A look back at her meltdown against Steffi Graf at Roland Garros in 1999. Does it ever get old?!
Tennis trend? Planking has caught on in the tennis community. Hard core.On Tennis.com's Daily Spin, Jon Scott checks in on a Laura Robson favorite that kept the US Davis Cup team (too?) busy and entertained last weekend in Austin. And if you're not quite sure what planking is, read away, folks!
Yes, Sloane does tweet. Our friends over at Adjusting the Net have a good write-up on Sloane Stephens' Q&A with reporters yesterday on a call for the Citi Open later this summer. While Melanie Oudin told TSF last week on a similar call that she kept the social networking tool at an arm's length, Stephens is known as one of tennis' best (and funnest) tweeters. She says:
I love Twitter. I post everything myself but my uncle been emailing me since I was 10 years old and on the bottom of his emails they have these quotes and I've always found them really cool. So I've kept all my uncle's emails and I go back re-read the quotes on there and think "That's a good one" so I'll post that one or whatever. Initially it was just being funny and to just throw stuff out there, but then people responded to me saying I love your tweets and can relate to what you say so I started tweeting more and I'm glad people enjoy it.
More: Follow Sloane on Twitter | And TSF, too!
SI.com's Twitter breakdown. Before we get to chatting up the ESPYs, SI.com has their "Twitter 100" out today, a list of 100 sports writers, personalities and athletes that the site felt were the ones writing the sports story on Twitter. While Sloane didn't make the cut, Serbian players Novak Djokovic and Janko Tipsarevic did, as did Andrea Petkovic. TennisReporters.net writer (and Mr. Do-It-All) Matt Cronin was on the list, as was gay sports outlet, Outsports.com. Next year, TSF, next year!
Did she just wear that? And no, we're not talking about Maria Sharapova in this one. Serena Williams was quite the sight to be seen last night at the ESPYs, where Seth Meyers hosted. Serena wore a number that gave quite a peek to her front side and her back, and we can't quite say we were the biggest fans of such an option. Serena, along with Rafael Nadal, won awards for Best Female and Male Tennis Player, respectively. | More: Who looked better? Maria or Brooklyn Decker?
The (fashionably) tall kids: It's rare to see Maria Sharapova not be the tallest one in the room, but as she chatted about her eye-popping heels backstage, Amar'e Stoudemire joined her and the New York Knick had her by a couple inches — even with heels on. Watch below:
More Amar'e: He's a pretty fashionable guy | Plus: ESPY fashion report card … in which MLB pitcher Brian Wilson — channeling Serena's pink spandex bodysuit — got a surprising F. Shouldn't he get a D- for accessorizing well? Erwin?!
OK, one more! The Biebs was giving us a NASCAR look. And come on, you gotta sorta appreciate it, right?!
short(er) balls: They were rocking the (more distinguished) fashion in Newport last weekend at the festivities surrounding the International Tennis Hall of Fame weekend. An Angelea Moore fashion show raised funds for the Hall. | Rihanna is replacing Megan Fox in the Armani underwear campaign, joining tennis' Rafael Nadal. | AOL has a good gear and apparel guide for tennis fans — everything under $100. | Sybille Bammer retires from the tour after losing her final match in her home country of Austria. Remember two years ago when the mama was a tour force to be reckoned with? No comeback for her, she says. | Feel better, Miles! Miles Raonic, Canada's new star, is out for six weeks after hip surgery. That puts his US Open in clear doubt, and definitely means he misses out on the Masters stop in Canada next month. | Caroline Wozniacki's dad and coach, Piotr, lashes out over criticism that she should replace him as the guide to her game. He did not join her in Bastad last week, where Wozy withdrew due to injury.

WATCH: Jennifer Lopez scares the 'Tight Pants' off Jimmy Fallon
Jennifer Lopez is enjoying the spoils after facing off with Jimmy Fallon in a "Tight Pants" battle on "The Tonight Show." JLo surprised the audience Monday night by popping out from behind the curtain in a pair of skin-tight trousers and celebrating her outfit with a little song and dance.
Jimmy thought he wore the tight pants better, but with a little Bronx attitude, JLo set scared him straight. She dropped the cutesy dancing and told Jimmy she wasn't afraid to take off her heels and fight dirty if he didn't "get lost applesauce."
Check it out below!

US Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program
In 1996, the US Congress mandated that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) create and regulate the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program. The program tests industrial and agricultural chemicals for hormonal impacts in humans and in wildlife that may disrupt organisms' endocrine systems. The endocrine system regulates the release of small amounts of chemical substances called hormones to keep the body functioning normally.

Every product tells a story.
And as a business, you play a large part in what that story is. It's called marketing.
The best products represent an idea in the customer's mind. It's your job to figure out how to tell the story in a way that resonates with your customer and sticks.
The problems happen when there's a mismatch between the story the customer believes and the real experience of your product.
Being an Ethical Marketer
If you're a proficient marketer and really understand the way that people's decision-making process works, it's tempting to try to coerce or trick people into buying your product.
Powerful tools a marketer can use: the fear of missing out. The promise of a silver bullet. The embarrassment of not being trendy. The desire for the extravagant car.
But just because you can use these tools doesn't mean you should. If your product's causing damage (to you, the customer or the environment), having the ability to convince someone they need your product doesn't mean you should.
Would You Sell it to Your Grandma?
One of the best ways to make sure you're being an ethical marketer: ask yourself questions that give you new perspective.
If your grandmother believed in your product's story and decided to buy it, would you want her to? If the answer is no (because she doesn't really need this particular thing to solve her problem, or because you've created a false problem), you need to reconsider your message.
Another good question: "If the customer I'm trying to target knew all the facts about this product, understood all the alternatives and perfectly grasped his situation, would he still want to buy this?"
If the answer is no, you have two options. 1. Make a better product. 2. Use your marketing prowess to target a customer who does allows you to answer "yes" to these questions.
If you ever find yourself asking: "Is this spam? Is this scammy? Are we being honest?" then the fact you have to ask indicates it's a good time to reevaluate your message.
Consider the Customer
Ultimately, when it comes to marketing your product, service or even idea, it's always a good idea to ask:
"Will this message benefit my audience? Does it have their best interests at heart?"
If you can honestly say "yes," then full steam ahead. It's time to tell your story.

Sleep queues provide a mechanism for suspending execution of a thread until some condition is met. Each queue is associated with a specific wait channel when it is active, and only one queue may be associated with a wait channel at any given point in time. The implementation of each wait channel splits its sleepqueue into 2 sub-queues in order to enable some optimizations on threads' wakeups. An active queue holds a list of threads that are blocked on the associated wait channel. Threads that are not blocked on a wait channel have an associated inactive sleep queue. When a thread blocks on a wait channel it donates its inactive sleep queue to the wait channel. When a thread is resumed, the wait channel that it was blocked on gives it an inactive sleep queue for later use. The sleepq_alloc() function allocates an inactive sleep queue and is used to assign a sleep queue to a thread during thread creation. The sleepq_free() function frees the resources associated with an inactive sleep queue and is used to free a queue during thread destruction. Active sleep queues are stored in a hash table hashed on the addresses pointed to by wait channels. Each bucket in the hash table contains a sleep queue chain. A sleep queue chain contains a spin mutex and a list of sleep queues that hash to that specific chain. Active sleep queues are protected by their chain's spin mutex. The init_sleepqueues() function initializes the hash table of sleep queue chains. The sleepq_lock() function locks the sleep queue chain associated with wait channel wchan. The sleepq_lookup() returns a pointer to the currently active sleep queue for that wait channel associated with wchan or NULL if there is no active sleep queue associated with argument wchan. It requires the sleep queue chain associated with wchan to have been locked by a prior call to sleepq_lock(). The sleepq_release() function unlocks the sleep queue chain associated with wchan() and is primarily useful when aborting a pending sleep request before one of the wait functions is called. The sleepq_add() function places the current thread on the sleep queue associated with the wait channel wchan. The sleep queue chain associ- ated with argument wchan must be locked by a prior call to sleepq_lock() when this function is called. If a lock is specified via the lock argument, and if the kernel was compiled with options INVARIANTS, then the sleep queue code will perform extra checks to ensure that the lock is used by all threads sleeping on wchan. The wmesg parameter should be a short description of wchan. The flags parameter is a bitmask con- sisting of the type of sleep queue being slept on and zero or more optional flags. The queue parameter specifies the sub-queue, in which the contending thread will be inserted. There are currently three types of sleep queues: SLEEPQ_CONDVAR A sleep queue used to implement condition variables. SLEEPQ_SLEEP A sleep queue used to implement sleep(9), wakeup(9) and wakeup_one(9). SLEEPQ_PAUSE A sleep queue used to implement pause(9). There are currently two optional flag: SLEEPQ_INTERRUPTIBLE The current thread is entering an interruptible sleep. SLEEPQ_STOP_ON_BDRY When thread is entering an interruptible sleep, do not stop it upon arrival of stop action, like SIGSTOP. Wake it up instead. A timeout on the sleep may be specified by calling sleepq_set_timeout() after sleepq_add(). The wchan parameter should be the same value from the preceding call to sleepq_add(), and the sleep queue chain associated with wchan must have been locked by a prior call to sleepq_lock(). The timo parameter should specify the timeout value in ticks. The current thread may be marked interruptible by calling sleepq_catch_signals() with wchan set to the wait channel. This function returns a signal number if there are any pending signals for the current thread and 0 if there is not a pending signal. The sleep queue chain associ- ated with argument wchan should have been locked by a prior call to sleepq_lock(). Once the thread is ready to suspend, one of the wait functions is called to put the current thread to sleep until it is awakened and to con- text switch to another thread. The sleepq_wait() function is used for non-interruptible sleeps that do not have a timeout. The sleepq_timedwait() function is used for non-interruptible sleeps that have had a timeout set via sleepq_set_timeout(). The sleepq_wait_sig() function is used for interruptible sleeps that do not have a timeout. The sleepq_timedwait_sig() function is used for interruptible sleeps that do have a timeout set. The wchan argument to all of the wait functions is the wait channel being slept on. The sleep queue chain asso- ciated with argument wchan needs to have been locked with a prior call to sleepq_lock(). The signal_caught parameter to sleepq_timedwait_sig() specifies if a previous call to sleepq_catch_signals() found a pending signal. When the thread is resumed, the wait functions return a non-zero value if the thread was awakened due to an interrupt other than a signal or a timeout. If the sleep timed out, then EWOULDBLOCK is returned. If the sleep was interrupted by something other than a signal, then some other return value will be returned. If zero is returned after resuming from an interruptible sleep, then sleepq_calc_signal_retval() should be called to determine if the sleep was interrupted by a signal. If so, sleepq_calc_signal_retval() returns ERESTART if the interrupting signal is restartable and EINTR otherwise. If the sleep was not interrupted by a signal, sleepq_calc_signal_retval() will return 0. A sleeping thread is normally resumed by the sleepq_broadcast() and sleepq_signal() functions. The sleepq_signal() function awakens the highest priority thread sleeping on a wait channel while sleepq_broadcast() awakens all of the threads sleeping on a wait channel. The wchan argument specifics which wait channel to awaken. The flags argument must match the sleep queue type contained in the flags argument passed to sleepq_add() by the threads sleeping on the wait channel. If the pri argument does not equal -1, then each thread that is awakened will have its priority raised to pri if it has a lower priority. The sleep queue chain associated with argument wchan must be locked by a prior call to sleepq_lock() before calling any of these functions. The queue argument specifies the sub-queue, from which threads need to be woken up. A thread in an interruptible sleep can be interrupted by another thread via the sleepq_abort() function. The td argument specifies the thread to interrupt. An individual thread can also be awakened from sleeping on a specific wait channel via the sleepq_remove() function. The td argument specifies the thread to awaken and the wchan argument specifies the wait channel to awaken it from. If the thread td is not blocked on the the wait channel wchan then this function will not do anything, even if the thread is asleep on a different wait channel. This function should only be used if one of the other functions above is not sufficient. One possible use is waking up a specific thread from a widely shared sleep channel. The sleepq_sleepcnt() function offer a simple way to retrieve the number of threads sleeping for the specified queue, given a wchan. The sleepq_type() function returns the type of wchan associated to a sleepqueue. The sleepq_abort(), sleepq_broadcast(), and sleepq_signal() functions all return a boolean value. If the return value is true, then at least one thread was resumed that is currently swapped out. The caller is responsible for awakening the scheduler process so that the resumed thread will be swapped back in. This is done by calling the kick_proc0() function after releasing the sleep queue chain lock via a call to sleepq_release(). The sleep queue interface is currently used to implement the sleep(9) and condvar(9) interfaces. Almost all other code in the kernel should use one of those interfaces rather than manipulating sleep queues directly. SEE ALSO
