So many different Indian foods are made with lentils. From kichidi (simple rice and lentils) to soups, flat breads and even some Maggie noodles (think Ramen noodles) are made from lentils. Beans and lentils are a primary source of protein for many vegetarians, and India is full of vegetarians.
When I was a kid, I didn't like lentils very much. I especially hated cooked mung beans. For some weird reason, I loved snacking on sprouted mung beans but wouldn't touch them the second they were cooked. My mom used to try to get me to eat mung dal (soup) by calling it "French soup" and trying to convince me I would like it because I liked Western food. As an adult, lentils are more of a comfort food for me and I even like mung dal now.
I know there is a lot of confusion on the difference between lentils, beans and dals. So let me try to clear some of it up. Lentils are legumes that are shaped like a lens (wide in the middle and narrowed at the ends). Beans on the other hand are larger. Mung beans are not lentils and used to belong to the species that we commonly call bean but have been reclassified and so are no longer technically beans. It's confusing!
The better word for all these little gems is pulse. A pulse is a dry legume that grows in a pod of one to 12 seeds. It includes beans, lentils, peas and other little seeds I commonly (but incorrectly) refer to as lentils or beans.
Indian pulses are usually available in three types: the whole pulse, the split pulse with the skins on, and the split pulse with the skins removed.
Dal is often translated as "lentils" but actually refers to a split version of a number of lentils, peas, chickpeas (chana), kidney beans and so on. If a pulse is split into half, it is a dal. For example, split mung beans are mung dal.
A stew or soup made with any kind of pulses, whole or split, is known as dal. If the whole pulse is cooked into a dry curry or stir fried simply with spices but not much liquid, it's called kathor in Gujarati. Just remember, wet is dal, dry is kathoor.
Pulses are used to make a wide variety of food in Indian cuisine. Desserts are commonly made with pulses. Pulses are often ground into flour, such as besan (garbanzo bean flour). This flour is used to make a huge variety of foods such as vegetable pakora, khandvi, kadhi, sev, puda and so much more (the list of things you can cook with garbanzo bean flour is literally endless!). Pulses are also soaked and then ground into a paste (often with soaked rice) to make dishes like dosa and idlee.
Adding pulses to your diet is a great way to eat healthier. They are so full of protein, fiber, iron and so many other nutrients.
Here are some of the most commonly eaten dals, lentils and pulses in India (India is a huge country with a large variation in diet from place to place. This list is specific to what is most commonly eaten in Gujarati cuisine but also translates to many other parts of India). And if you are interested in adding more lentils to your diet, here is a great list of common non-Indian lentils by Oh My Veggies. Check it out!
Mung Beans
Mung beans (also known as green gram, Hindi: moong, Gujarati: mug), are little green seeds that are yellow inside. They have been eaten by Indians for thousands of years. Mung beans are used for both sweet and savory dishes in Indian cooking. They are eaten whole, sprouted, split with the skins on and split with the skins removed. In fact, mung dal (split with the skins removed) is one of the most commonly used lentils in my kitchen.
- Mung beans with their skins on have a flavor reminiscent of green leafy vegetables but the mung dal with the skins removed has a mild sweet flavor and is often used for desserts as well as making kichidi and mung dal.
Urad Dal
Urad (also known as black gram, black lentil, Hindi: urad, Gujarati: adad), is a little black seed with a white interior. It is very similar to a mung bean in size and shape but tastes entirely different. It has also been eaten in India for thousands of years and is highly prized. Urad has an earthy flavor and an unusual mucousy texture (it's a good thing!) when it's cooked. The popular, and amazing, dal makhani is made with urad. Papad (or poppadums) are usually made with urad dal as well.
Garbanzo Beans
Garbanzo Beans (also known as chickpea, Bengal gram, Hindi: channa, Gujarati: channa). Garbanzo beans are found in two forms, the smaller dark skinned beans known as desi channa and the larger white skinned beans known as Kabuli channa. Garbanzo beans are commonly eaten in India in as whole beans, as split lentils and a multitude of dishes are also made with garbanzo bean flour (known as besan). Channa Masala is the most popular dish made with Kabuli channa.
Channa are slightly nutty in taste. The brown ones are earthier in flavor and tend have a drier texture.
Masoor Dal
Masoor (also known as red lentil, Hindi: masoor, Gujarati: masoor) is a brown skinned lentil that is orange on the inside. Masoor dal has a pleasant earthy flavor and is very common in Northern India. It is commonly used to make dal, soups and stews.
Pigeon Pea (Toor Dal)
Pigeon Pea (also known as tropical green pea, Hindi: toor, Gujarati: tuver), is a beige lentil with a yellow interior. This is the most important pulse in a Gujarati household. The fresh peas are highly prized and used for curries and stuffing in spicy handpies. They have a delicious nutty flavor that is very distinctive. The dried and split peas are a staple in everyday cooking as well. The famous "Gujarati Dal" is made with this pea where the balance between spicy, sweet and sour is most important.
Black-Eyed Peas and Azuki
Black-eyed pea (also known as cow pea, Hindi: lobia, Gujarati: chora). Black-eyed peas have a distinctive flavor and are an all around pulse in Indian cuisine. They're used to make curries, dals, papads and fritters.
- Azuki bean (also known as red cow pea, Hindi: chori, Gujarati: lal chora). Azuki beans have a sweet nutty flavor and are another all around pulse. They are used very much like black-eyed peas.
Pea (Hindi: matar, Gujarati: vatana). Although split peas are uncommon in Indian cuisine, whole dried peas have a mild earthy flavor and a hearty mouth feel and texture. They are used for one the most beloved street food stews called ragda.
- Kidney Bean (Hindi: rajma, Gujarati: rajma). Kidney beans have a strong earthy flavor and nice silky texture. They are made into a delicious curry simply called rajma. It is delicious eaten with rice. It is important to note that kidney beans can be toxic if not cooked properly. They must be pre-soaked and boiled for at least 30 minutes to ensure they are safe for eating. Do not cook them in the slow cooker because that multiplies their toxicity.

Cooking Notes:
- Before you cook the pulses, sift through them to take out any pebbles or debris. Then rinse them a few times.
- Pulses taste best when they are cooked slowly. When cooking pulses on the stove top, bring to a boil and lower heat to medium low and let simmer. Start counting the cooking time once the pot has come to a boil and not before. In the case of kidney beans, boil for 30 minutes before lowering heat to simmer.
- If your pulses are old, they can take double the time to cook. If they haven't softened in the time indicated, don't worry. Just cook until soft. Make sure to add more water as needed.
- When cooking pulses, hold off adding salt or acids (such as lemon or vinegar) until the end, or the they will not soften.
- Water: If you are cooking on the stovetop or slow cooker, use about 3 to 4 times the water. In the pressure cooker, two times the water will do. Always keep an eye on the stove and add more water if it starts to look dry.
- Indian pressure cookers are a little different from the ones available in the West. They usually release steam regularly in what is referred to as "whistles." These whistles are counted to determine cook time. They are not always accurate and can vary from cooker to cooker. So use these whistle counts as a guide and figure out what works best for your cooker.
- Soaking: In the cases where soaking is optional, if you soak the pulses, it will reduce the cooking time. The cooking time I've mentioned is for unsoaked pulses.
- Slow cookers can be a great, convenient way to prepare pulses, just throw everything in in the morning and when you get home from work your food is ready. But some beans are toxic until they are boiled (for at least 30 minutes), and slow cookers can actually make them more toxic. If you want to use the slow cooker on these beans, boil them for 30 minutes before adding them to the mixture, or use canned beans which are already boiled.

"This tree removes ancient-386-CPUs support and thus zaps quite a bit of complexity [...] which complexity has plagued us with extra work whenever we wanted to change SMP primitives, for years. Unfortunately there's a nostalgic cost: your old original 386 DX33 system from early 1991 won't be able to boot modern Linux kernels anymore. Sniff. I'm not sentimental. Good riddance." Almost 21 years of support for a professor. Not bad.

His party, and voters in Nepean-Carleton, should be asking if he's fit to hold public office. As a constituent, I would say no....
His efforts have not gone unnoticed on the Hill. A survey of political staffers by the publication The Hill Times awarded Poilievre top spot as the biggest gossip on the Hill and he tied for first as the biggest self-promoter.
In all, Poilievre's record ought to make Nepean-Carleton voters ashamed. The message from his residential schools comments and his shot about sex changes is that people in his riding are a bunch of red-neck bigots who have to be pandered to. Next election, let's show him that he's wrong.
Please do.
On the theme of self-promotion, I thought I would look at the long list of accomplishments. On Pierre's website he brags:
It also reminded me of the enormous achievements we have had together. Here are some examples of what we have accomplished:
Enormous achievements? I didn't realize attending local events, flipping burgers amounted to enormity, but it's the first thing on his scant list:
Personally attended 750 community events with many of you
Wow, clearly making the country better for all of us, or furthering your political career as the case may be.
I hope the Liberals target Pierre's riding, and rightfully paint him as the uber-conservative, all that's wrong with this government, sort of politician. Columns like the above suggest Pierre might not have an easy ride moving forward.

Peru: 2,500 families in the High Andes make tradition a way of life
"My grandma prepared her chicha. She bottled it and sold it," María Farroñan says, remembering how she learned to make chicha de jora, a traditional beverage in many towns in Peru. She was born in Mórrope, a district in the coastal region of Lambayeque that keeps up the old artisanal traditions.
With a big wooden spoon, she stirs the chicha in an earthenware pot.
- The programme worked directly on 55 micro-entrepreneurial projects for the development of production and business training in Ayacucho, Cusco, Lambayeque and Puno.
- 126 artisans, 26 community rural tourism entrepreneurs and 49 regional cooks obtained official certificates.
- 2,500 families in different regions of Peru moved ahead while conserving their traditions and, at the same time, caring for the environment.
- The government supported the program by enacting 3 Regional Ordinances and 12 Municipal Ordinances for the promotion of creative industries.
"With wood, it used to take us much longer, almost eight hours. But now with gas, we only need four," she says, referring to one of the changes promoted by a UNDP-supported joint development project: cooking with gas stoves instead of wood. This simplifies women's work ands simultaneously helps to preserve the forests.
"Everything was different before. We used to prepare our chicha, but we didn't make any profit," comments María.
María's family is one of 2,500 that make up the production associations of the 55 micro-enterprise projects that the programme works with in Ayacucho, Cusco, Lambayeque and Puno. The programme helped to introduce the businesses to the market, creating three consortiums of artisans.
The programme developed training in inclusive creative industries and businesses in Lambayeque and Cusco, from which 60 professionals graduated. It also established a training programme in Management and Development of Inclusive Creative Industries, which has 98 instructors. In addition, it certified 126 artisans, 26 community rural tourism entrepreneurs and 49 regional cooks in Information and Communication Technology. Moreover, it played an important role in helping to formulate and implement public policies favorable to inclusive creative industries as a means of reducing poverty at the national, regional and local levels.
Through the programme, María's production association improved the facilities and equipment for preparing and bottling chicha. The development of training for the organic management of their fields of corn, food handling and waste management allowed this group of women to efficiently use their resources and increasing their profit, contributing to their empowerment and autonomy in all dimensions of their lives.
"We, too, are beginning to value our work; we feel very proud," María pointed out with a smile.
The programme, financed by the Government of Spain through the MDG Achievement Fund, was carried out by various governmental partners at the national, regional and local levels, led by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism of Peru and had the cooperation of 6 organs of the United Nations System – FAO, ILO, OMT, UNIDO, UNDP, and UNESCO – led by the UNDP.

Website content
Budget £250-750 GBP
Good Afternoon,
We are looking for a professional who is able to create an effective, catching, and well written copywriting for an online store which we are developing.
The way it will be written is crucial for the success of the store. Indeed the business consist in selling a small amount of popular products (like mobiles and electronics) online at a significant cheaper amount than the average price.
We are able to do that as we buy new branded items with from different sources like unwanted stock, unwanted gift, large retailer etc.
However we do not stock any product and for this reason we send the purchased item after 30 days of the purchase date.
Therefore the users/customers will be able to access to multiple branded items at a significant cheaper cost but, on the other hand, they have to wait 30 days.
They have the right to return the item if defective and all the other protection which the Customers right act provide.
For these reasons you can see how the writing part of the website is crucial.
As we want to keep the store simple we have estimated 3 pages that need copywriting:
1) How it works
2) Your rights
3) Faq
We think the text will be crucial to build trust and to overcome possible queries like:
Why is so cheap?
Can I Trust you?
Why it takes so long?
We consider your BID only if you provide an answer on the following points: 1) Looking at our project details what do you think will be the major issues in writing the texts required and how would you overcome them? 2) How may FAQ do you think is important to write and why? 3) All the project we have done on freelancer so far we paid 50% at the delivery of the final texts and 50% after 15 days to allow us to do proofreading processes. Please confirm that this is suitable for you. We look forward to hearing from you,

Telegram &Gazette reporter Thomas Caywood's Feb. 16 article, "Auditor faults DA's records on seized drug $," accurately discussed state Auditor Suzanne Bump's audit of District Attorney Joe Early's records. What the article failed to accurately discuss was Mr. Early's wisdom in recognizing that physical exercise prevents drug abuse.
Teachers and coaches have long recognized that students with painful disorders — such as diabetes, asthma, ADHD and depression — often self-medicate through the use of drugs and alcohol. Lifetime sports, such as figure skating, dance and basketball, help children to develop self-esteem that insulates them from the temptation of drugs and alcohol. In addition, sports participants benefit from added muscle tone and lung capacity.
These physiological changes help athletes to simply feel better on a daily basis, and children who feel good about themselves are logically less likely to turn to drugs or alcohol in an attempt to self-medicate. Finally, in an era where many children face the trauma of being separated from their families by death, war, or divorce, the personal relationships that athletes have with their coaches are stabilizing forces.
Thus, I applaud Mr. Early's decision to purchase an ice machine, as well as other sports-related items, in order to combat drug use in Worcester County. To me, this decision seems to be both ethical and logical.

Come by the Times-News today and you can buy a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts for $5.
The $5 donation goes to our Newspaper in Education program. This is, frankly, terrible news. I mean � it�s great news for you.
You can pick up doughnuts to share with co-workers, friends or family and the money goes to a good cause. For me, having so many doughnuts in the building is worrying.
Krispy Kreme is set to open its new Burlington location on Huffman Mill Road. Last week, the company was working out the kinks with its new baking operation and giving doughnuts away around town. Three dozen showed up in my workplace Friday afternoon.
From the time those doughnuts landed on a filing cabinet behind my desk at mid-afternoon until the time I left the office at 7 p.m., I ate about a dozen of them. They were just � sitting there.
That was a day after our monthly Times-News town hall meeting for employees, where we always eat ice cream. On Thursday, I probably had three Klondike bars, two Snicker ice cream bars and a Reese�s peanut butter ice cream doo-dad.
I have a problem with binge-eating.
For most of my life, I was able to eat what I wanted when I wanted. In high school, my two best friends and I would take advantage of a great Friday-night special at Raleigh�s Pizza Transit Authority � three large pizzas for some ludicrously low sum. Each of us ate a large pizza on our own with relative ease. We were growing boys.
It�s only been over the last few years that I�ve actually tried to start watching what I eat. As you can tell, I fall short a lot of the time.
The repercussions of overeating are gradual. It�s not like drinking a case of beer or sticking a needle in your arm. Unless you eat so much that you get sick, which never happens to me, it seems harmless in the near term.
Yes, I want to lose about 10 pounds. Several factors, though, have kept me from having big repercussions from this binge eating. I move around a pretty decent amount. I don�t get any calories from beverages. I�m too cheap to spend too much on food. I do eat fruits and vegetables. Both my parents are naturally skinny.
But if I get too fat, it�s no one�s fault but my own.
Which brings me to news this week that the Boy Scouts of America has placed restrictions on who can attend this year�s national Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. This year�s jamboree is designed to be more physically demanding than in previous years, with more outdoor adventure incorporated in the 10-day event in the New River Gorge.
Because of that, the BSA has decreed that Scouts with a body mass index of 40 and above will not be able to participate. Those with a BMI between 32 and 39.9 had to submit medical information in order to be approved.
I went to two National Jamborees as a kid. It was hot. We were worn out at the end of every day but I had a great time. Having to miss one while the rest of my troop went would have been tough.
In a world where we are constantly preached to about watching our weight and occasionally have the size of our sodas limited, maybe this news from Jamboree serves as a good reminder.
Incentives compel behavior. So do consequences.
To change people�s habits, rather than saying �you can�t do x� maybe we should say �if you do y you can�t do x.�
It�s worth a try, because that new Krispy Kreme opens at 6 a.m. Tuesday.

Okay... I'm in rant mode. Since this is not directed to a CPF'er it's not a jeer.
But I would like to see if anyone else has had the same experience as I have.
In the past 6 months, I have had two packages both sent by GPM to
France DISAPPEAR never to be heard from. Two years ago, I also had
the same thing happen but it was airmail.
The most recent one was registered as leaving the US a few days
after I shipped it. http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInt...=lz746291754us
It has been over two months and it hasnt' showed up. This time it was over
$100 worth of lights. I double checked my records with the recipient
and the address is correct. Anyway, I want ahead and sent replacements
to him at my loss.
I'm seriously considering making France a no ship zone for me. Does France
in general have a grudge against the USA? Has anyone had the same
experience? Keep in mind that I have shipped around 200 packages in
the last 6 months, so this is not always the case, but statistically it
really does show something about the French postal system.
There I had to get it off my chest.

Hello! Happy Tuesday! Did you want to leave a link on Manic Monday Linky Party? You still can! And would you like to enter our fabulous Fat Quarter Bundle giveaway sponsored by JAQS Fabrics? There's 12 FQs to win! Then get on over to the SewHappyGeek Facebook page! 1 Like=1 chance. We'll draw when we get to 250, so spread the word.
Without further ado, please let me introduce my awesome friend Bonnie of Wonderfully Awkward. She has been SO good to me – she's made me 2 videos to help me with my knitting, and in the first, she went back and forth between English and Continental styles so smoothly that it inspired me to learn Continental myself, which is much better on my sore elbow. She is a very supportive Twitter friend and I'm so lucky to get to chat with her and our friend Shanna every day.
Here she is:
My dear friend Jenna has recently learned to knit, and is totally on fire and kicking ass already! This tutorial is in honor of her achievement (you rock, Jenna!) and will hopefully help knitters/crocheters/embroiderers everywhere to maintain better posture for many hours of productive crafting.
Admit it. You had one of those hideous back/armchair pillows when you were a kid or a teen, right? Maybe out of corduroy, or some other bland fabric. Yes, they were comfortable (for the most part), but as we grew up and cared more about "decor", they got sold, given away, and never replaced.
If I'm at home, I practically live in my bed. Okay, I really DO live in my bed. When you have a room instead of a house, them's the breaks. Watching tv, knitting, embroidering, web surfing, all in bed. I'm tired of fighting with pillows! Trying to find the right combination in the right conformation is a pain in the ass. Nevermind getting up and the pillows tumble out of formation and having to do the whole thing all over again. Argh! I wrangled with my style conscience and decided maybe one of those armchair pillows wouldn't be a bad idea after all. Especially since it would support my arms for a more ergonomically correct posture when typing, knitting, embroidering, whatever.
Saturday, I was too lazy to leave the house and go buy one (plus, store bought? Ugly….), so I tinkered around with some measurements and came up with a cute, comfy, cushy design (alliterations are FUN!) that I'm completely in love with.
My sister (also a knitter and crochet-er) immediately said "I WANT ONE!!!" so I whipped another one up just for her, and took pictures along the way to make up a tutorial for you good folks. It takes about two hours max, and is very easy. I promise. Here we go!!
Here's what you'll need
For a non-directional print fabric (doesn't matter which way you flip the fabric) – 1 yard
For a horizontal directional print – 1.5 yards
For the arms – about 3/4 yd or piece-together fat quarters
Enough fabric to make a 6″x104″ strip
5 lbs of stuffing
5 lbs of stuffings?! Yes. That's what it takes. The good news is that your local fabric/craft chain store probably carries a 5 lb box like this: (Use that 50% off coupon they ALWAYS have, and it's $10!)
Let's get started. (1/2″ Seam Allowance or 1cm works fine too!)
Here's the measurements of the pieces you'll need.
For the strip that adds depth to the pillow, you'll probably need to sew pieces together to get 104″. Just make sure you allow for seams so you don't wind up short after sewing your strips together!
This next illustration might make you more confused or clarify. It depends on if you have a brain as squirrely as mine. It shows how you'll need either a yard or a yard and a half depending on which direction the print goes, or if it's even a directional print at all. Make sense?
Now that you've got all your pieces cut out, you're going to do just a wee bit more cutting. Take one of your front/back pieces (whichever you want to use for the front) and cut 6″x6″ squares out of each bottom corner like this:
These 6″ squares are going to be the front of the arms. Nifty, eh? I'm all about using every part of the buffalo, so to speak.
Next you're going to sew the arms into tubes. For my sister's, I wanted to use a few fat quarters, so the seams you see are just me piecing them together to get the right size.
|The correct fabric size – open
You should have two tubes that are 12″x12″ when laid flat. Minus seam allowance.
Take the 6″ squares you cut out of the front and sew them to one open end of each arm.
I used pins just to keep everything neat.
|Woo! We have arms!
Next we'll attach the arms to the front.
Take your 104″ strip and attach to the front and back. You'll probably have extra fabric in your strip, but it's easily tucked in during the closing-up part. Better than coming up short!
|When you get to the arms, attach the strip along the open edges of the arms
|Like this
|Ta da!! The front is finished!
Now for the back
Turn the whole thing inside out, and YAY!! We're almost done!
Now for the stuffing.
|I love the invisible stitch!
You can be finished if you like, but I wanted to add a touch to make it look a little bit more fancy-schmancy.
|I used medium size covered buttons, and some buttons for the back
That GIGANTIC needle is a doll making needle, I think. Or maybe it's an upholstery needle. I have no idea, it came from a garage sale. But boy, it's definitely what you need for this project!
The reason I'm using the white buttons on the back is to prevent the thread from damaging the fabric too much since the tufting will pull. Another side tip: I discovered through MUCH trial and error that the covered buttons I used will pop apart, so I took some flat-nosed pliars and folded the back edge down more. Problem solved.
Another problem: the button attacher came off, so I took needle-nosed pliars and wedged the loop open a bit more so it wouldn't come out. Like so:
Use some good strong button thread – I doubled mine up for safety.
|Julia loves it!
Another lesson learned: I knew Julia was….er…hard-wearing on things (DESTRUCTOR!!) but I didn't think she'd mess it up so soon. The places where the buttons are attached are already ripped. So I'm going to try and repair it, and then fuse some fleece to it to make it much stronger. I think all of my future knitting pillows are going to be reinforced with fusible fleece from now on. I also think it would give it a much better overall shape. What do you think?
Sweet! Thank you so much Bonnie! I'm so going to make one in my Prince Charming fabric that I've been hoarding! 🙂
See you guys tomorrow!

Family Suites Above Massive Indoor Waterpark
High above Fort Mackenzie—a four-story waterlogged treehouse that feels like it could be a part of The Swiss Family Robinson or Pirates of the Caribbean—a 1,000-gallon bucket slowly fills with water. Suddenly, the big bucket topples, drenching those gathered below in a torrent of water. Heated to a balmy 84 degrees, Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine's indoor waterpark and its more than 10 splash-filled attractions draw visitors looking for an aquatic getaway no matter the season. In addition to braving Fort Mackenzie, you can crash into 3-foot waves at Slap Tail Pond, careen down a six-story funnel slide at Howlin' Tornado, and unwind on a raft in the Crooked Creek lazy river.
The 80,000-square-foot waterpark is merely one of the many activities at the hotel's multi-entertainment campus. At the MagiQuest live-action adventure, kids wield magic wands and journey through a kingdom to meet mythical creatures, including a pixie and a dragon. Scooops Kid Spa gives manicures and pedicures to pintsize patrons sitting atop ice-cream-cone stools and banana-split thrones—free ice cream completes each visit.
Up to six vacationers can comfortably slumber in family suites or KidKamp and Wolf Den suites. The latter feature themed bunk beds; all have semiprivate living areas with couches.
Dallas: Historical Parks and Rejuvenated Urban Districts in North Texas
Though some know Dallas only for the massive AT&T Stadium (which is actually in Arlington), the city is also an enclave of arts and nature, overflowing with botanical gardens, art galleries, and live theater. Historic Main Street connects many of the city's recently rejuvenated urban districts, as well as the popular Main Street Garden, a block-long public park surrounded by architecturally significant buildings. Locals come here to picnic on the expansive lawn or watch a movie under the moonlight in the summer and fall.
A short walk from downtown Dallas, you'll find horse-drawn carriages clopping along brick streets in the city's historic West End district, which dates back to the 19th century. This part of the city also contains Dealey Plaza, where President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. At The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza housed in the former Texas School Book Depository, you can visit the spot where Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have shot at Kennedy's presidential motorcade.
Joggers and bikers can zip through the fashionable Turtle Creek neighborhood, located about 4 miles west of downtown, via the Katy Trail, which follows an old interstate railroad. Back near downtown Dallas, the 277-acre Fair Park is the location of North America's largest Ferris wheel and seven museums and four performing-arts centers, many of which are inside art-deco buildings built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition.

FEMA Engages NREL in Hurricane Sandy Recovery Effort
May 8, 2013
Natural Disasters, By the Numbers
- There have been 144 weather/climate disasters since 1980 in which overall damages reached or exceeded $1 billion.
- In 2005, the estimated economic loss due to Hurricane Katrina was about $187 billion.
- In 2012, the estimated total loss due to Hurricane Sandy was $71 billion in New York and New Jersey alone.
By the time Hurricane Sandy pounded the East Coast on October 29, 2012, it had grown to be the largest Atlantic hurricane on record—with winds spanning 1,100 miles.
The devastation left in its wake affected 24 states with the most severe damage concentrated in New Jersey and New York; total damage topped an estimated $71 billion for the two states alone.
For the first time, NREL was funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to participate in disaster recovery strategic planning efforts between federal, state, and local agencies. Two NREL teams were dispatched to New York and New Jersey in February-April to support FEMA's implementation of the National Disaster Recovery Framework—a guide for Federal support that promotes effective recovery efforts and provides a flexible structure for disaster recovery managers at all levels to operate in a unified and collaborative manner.
NREL's role was to provide expertise in energy aspects of sustainability as well as coordinate key stakeholders in the planning process to ensure the inclusion of renewable energy and energy efficiency into the planning process.
"Based on our core capabilities and track record, NREL is uniquely positioned to play a critical role in disaster resiliency, recovery, and rebuilding," said Mary Werner, NREL Program Manager. "Our expertise in sustainable energy can play an important part in rebuilding more efficient and resilient disaster-hit communities."
FEMA's support of NREL after Hurricane Sandy validates the lab's expertise and capabilities demonstrated with our highly acclaimed disaster recovery work in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Greensburg, Kansas. NREL also has been involved in international disaster efforts, including American Samoa and Haiti.
"We can't prevent disasters from happening, but we can make our grid and infrastructure systems as disaster resilient as possible," said Werner.
In New York and New Jersey, NREL technical experts led presentations on applying sustainability in disaster recovery, provided recommendations for including clean energy and energy efficiency strategies, as well as researched and performed technical analysis on specific energy and sustainability and recovery issues, including analysis of the estimated lifecycle cost savings for residential energy efficiency investments. In addition, NREL identified and coordinated the development of disaster recovery partnerships by leveraging existing relationships with regional, state, and local energy stakeholders, such as the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, the New York State Energy Research Authority, and Environmental Protection Agency's Brownfields Program.
"Bringing together the right people at the right time can create a transformational change through the recovery effort," said NREL project leader Alexander Dane, who was part of the two- person onsite NREL team that spent five weeks in New York working with FEMA and other federal agencies including Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Commerce Department. "We can have an important role in incorporating sustainability and resiliency in rebuilding."
"Doing this work enables us to have a positive impact at a critical stage when federal, state, and local agencies are working together in long-term strategic planning," said NREL project leader Lynn Billman. "There is a narrow window of opportunity to influence the recovery efforts so that sustainability is prioritized in rebuilding. With FEMA's support of NREL to participate in the strategy planning process, we can influence people to think about something different."
"While disasters are terrible events that impact millions each year, they are also opportunities to rebuild right using sustainable practices, incorporating energy efficiency and renewable energy into our communities, and establishing more resilient grid and infrastructure systems," Werner said. "Billions of dollars are spent each year on disaster recovery and rebuilding. It's critical that we reinvest in our infrastructure using technology solutions for tomorrow."

House Group Finalizing Sweeping Immigration Bill A group of Republicans and Democrats in the House is finalizing a sweeping immigration bill that offers work permits and the eventual prospect of citizenship to millions of people living illegally in the United States, aides say. That path to citizenship, however, is likely to take at least 15 years for many, longer than envisioned by Senate immigration negotiators or by President Barack Obama.
House Members Negotiate A Proposal On Immigration A group of a half-dozen House members, equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, is nearing completion of wide-ranging immigration legislation similar to proposals by Senate negotiators and President Barack Obama, including a pathway to legal immigration status for 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S.

I posted this question in another forum but not sure it was the right location.Anyways, after living overseas for a while I am absolutely in love with Asia. I spoke with several Managing Partners at some of the biggest international law firms in Bangkok and they all informed me to attend a US law school. Bangkok is booming (quiet, no jokes!) as many banks and corporations are setting up shop there with a steady 6-8% annual growth rate.I would like to end up working in Bangkok (or even Hong Kong perhaps) for one of the major BigLaw firms out there. Any thoughts from the LSD crowd?
But the school has the word "International" in its name...hahaha, just kidding. What about some of the other schools I've been accepted/applied to? Any thoughts? Thanks.
themanwithnoname,Very good points. Just look at the attorney bios and you'll see many of them did not go to a Top 20 school. But a powerhouse name (i.e. any of the Ivy's) will carry alot of weight no matter where you go. I know Wisconsin and some of the UC state schools are huge in Bangkok and Hong Kong.Thanks for the info., kick-ass post!
You DEFINITELY do not need top 10% from UCLA to get biglaw.

ATLANTA- Bill Barrow, a veteran journalist who has covered politics in Alabama and Louisiana, has been named to the new position of Southeast political writer for The Associated Press.
Barrow, 34, comes to the AP from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, La., where he has covered Louisiana politics since 2006, along with health care business and policy since 2009. He previously covered politics in Alabama, where he worked for the Press-Register in Mobile.
In this new position, he will be based in Atlanta, tracking political trends in Georgia and across the Southeast.
The appointment was announced Friday by Lisa Marie Pane, the cooperative's regional editor for the South.
"Bill is a son of the South, someone with a deep knowledge about its political leanings, the electorate and its elected officials," Pane said. "Bill brings a sophisticated edge to our coverage in this very important presidential election year."
During his tenure at The Times-Picayune and the Press-Register, Barrow wrote about the partisan shift that continues to redefine politics across the region. He also has covered the federal corruption trial of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, the administration of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. Mary Landrieu's re-election campaign.
"Politics in the South can be colorful and entertaining, but the issues are important to day-to-day lives and often provide a benchmark for national trends," said Michelle Williams, AP regional director overseeing business operations for the South. "With his years of experience understanding the personalities, traditions and weight of the region's politics, Bill brings a vital resource in unlocking the kinds of stories that matter to AP customers and their audiences."
Barrow is a native of Bay Minette, Ala., and a 2000 graduate of Auburn University.

Justin Bieber's toxicology report has reportedly been released.
According to TMZ, the 19-year-old singer tested positive for pot and prescription medication, after he was arrested in Miami Beach last week.
Bieber's urine was quickly tested after he was arrested on suspicion of DUI on January 23, with THC and Alprazolam proved to be in his system.
Alprazolam is the key ingredient of prescription anti-anxiety medication Xanax.
He tested negative for cocaine, opiates, meth and other drugs, the report confirmed.
The toxicology report is consistent with Bieber's statement at the time of arrest, in which he said that his mother had given him prescription drugs, and that he had been smoking pot shortly before his arrest.
Justin Bieber has pleaded not guilty to charges of DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired driver's licence.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance
Blueberries flower and fruit best in full sun, although they will tolerate partial shade. Remove flowers the first year to allow more of the plants energy to go to root development. Soil PH must be between 4 and 5.5 and contain a lot of organic matter (compost,peat moss, composted leaves) evenly moist but not soggy. Mulch yearly 2-3 inches deep. Few pests or diseases make blueberries easy and fun to grow. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer. To give your plant the best start possible, we include a free fertilizer packet.

Everyone knows—or at least can easily find out—what to expect when you're expecting: thicker hair, hard-as-nails nails, fat feet, wider hips, big boobs and waves of morning sickness.
But what about you didn't expect? There's a lot they don't tell you about in the pregnancy books.
Plus: Baby Surprises and Shockers
Me? I was in a great mood for 37 weeks, something that didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated by my husband. We had both expected me to be a raging hormonal mess. That simply wasn't the case. The medical community may credit steady hormone levels, but I credit the joy of finally conceiving (twins!) after undergoing in-vitro fertilization. I was really just so happy to be pregnant that nothing was going to bring me down.
CNN recently rounded up some pregnancy surprises from moms, both good and bad, like being unexpectedly ambivalent about a much-wanted pregnancy, to being completely sidelined by pregnancy complications.

Firefighters battled on Friday to check a fast-moving wildfire raging near the Sun Valley ski resort in Idaho, where more than 1,000 people were evacuated as flames menaced multimillion-dollar homes in the area, authorities said.
The so-called Beaver Creek Fire, the nation's top firefighting priority, has raced across 64,000 acres of mountains and canyons intersected by luxury housing developments since it was sparked by lightning in the Sawtooth National Forest on August 7.

Occupants of more than 1,300 dwellings have been ordered to evacuate and the tourist towns of Ketchum and Sun Valley have been told to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, said Blaine County spokeswoman Bronwyn Nickel.
It was unclear how many people were affected by the mandatory evacuations, which were tied to outlying residential developments mostly south of Ketchum and Sun Valley and not in city limits.
"Conditions are changing rapidly, the fire is fast and furious," Nickel said on Friday night.
The fire is one of dozens of destructive blazes in Western states, many of them fed by drought conditions, unusually high temperatures and fierce winds.
On Friday near the Idaho ski resort, in the state's Wood River Valley, plumes of smoke towered over the area, at the height of a summer recreation season that drives the local economy.
U.S. Forest Service and other fire crews had lost ground against the blaze by Friday morning, with a containment estimate of 11 percent on Wednesday dropping to 9 percent.
One flank of a blaze edged closer on Friday to Ketchum, just minutes from the community of Sun Valley and its namesake ski resort, which fire officials said faced no immediate threat.
In the towns of Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley, foot traffic was light as thick smoke reduced visibility and hampered driving on the only highway that connects the three communities.
Cars and trucks streamed down the roadway, which the local sheriff warned may close with the fire's approach, as residents of Ketchum and Sun Valley sought refuge elsewhere.
Dale Byington, general manager of the Sawtooth Club, an award-winning restaurant in Ketchum, estimated that 70 percent of the city's roughly 2,700 residents have fled. He described the largely deserted downtown as "surreal."
Byington said he had packed belongings into his vehicle and was ready to leave if flames continue to advance.
"It's not good," he said.
Air tankers were assigned to drop fire retardant near clusters of upscale homes nestled in subdivisions between Hailey and Ketchum, and fire engines were deployed to guard luxury residential developments where homes can be worth tens of millions of dollars.
The fire on Thursday night destroyed one house in an outlying neighborhood, Nickel said. She added that insurance companies have dispatched teams of contractors to protect high-end homes.
Elsewhere in Idaho, fire crews were gaining ground on a blaze menacing two mountain resort towns in the Boise National Forest about 70 miles east of the state capital. The so-called Elk Complex fire near Pine and Featherville has consumed 38 houses and 43 other buildings outside city limits.
The 117,000-acre (47,350-ha) blaze has killed dozens of animals - including elk, deer and a black bear - since it was ignited by lightning on August 8. Featherville and Pine, where Idaho Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter has a getaway cabin, have been mostly emptied of hundreds of summertime residents.
Otter and U.S. Forest Service chief Tom Tidwell toured the two wildfires by air on Friday.

LocationKalamaria, Thessaloniki, Greece
Lighting DesignGlights
Green Space DesignVitaverde
Area90.0 m2
Project Year2011
Text description provided by the architects. Given the fact that the client was a newly arrived surgeon in Thessaloniki (Greece), we were handed the task of creating a memorable office space, providing an experience as distant as possible from the usual image one associates with a visit to a doctor's studio.
In order to separate the medic's office and exam room from the reception space and waiting room, a flexible partition was designed. The partition incorporates the reception desk, as well as the exam room entrance, while its bulging shape—deriving from the form of an acoustic wave, is a reference to the practitioner's field of specialty.
The wooden sculptural surfaces were created using medium-density fiberboards (MDF) left purposefully untreated so as to reinforce the value of the simplicity of the materials used in contrast with their complicated form. The main waiting room's walls are covered with the Hippocratic oath, with some of its most important words standing out in laser-cut acrylic glass.

Wesley Institute Customer Story
- Improved user experience
- Vast enhancement of operational efficiency, workflow and accuracy
- A repository used as an educational content bank
- Less archival waste in its systems
- Cleaner interface for users that is administratively more efficient
- Simpler to upload new document uploads than former Equella system
- Time taken to add four common documents across 42 units has dropped from a day and a half to just 12 minutes
- Greater accuracy and higher quality information management means that no students receive outdated information
- Better filing management from ease of moving a large number of documents across multiple units.
Wesley Institute
Founded in 1983, Wesley Institute was Australia's first Christian arts college. Providing outstanding opportunities for academic, artistic, professional and spiritual development in a supportive, creative and collaborative learning environment, it offers university-level degrees in dance, drama, graphic design, music, education, leadership, applied ethics and counseling. Through excellence in Christian higher education, Wesley Institute seeks to benefit the community as it equips people for both Christian life and leadership in a range of influential vocations.
Business challenge
Faced with a questionable return on technology investment in late 2011, Wesley Institute reviewed the way it was storing learning content. Its Equella learning content management system was severely under utilised. Despite the College's best efforts to increase uptake, the complicated user interface coupled with the operating costs of adding materials through the learning management system, meant that Equella was no longer a viable platform.
Following a competitive review of leading content management solutions against its wish list of functionality, Wesley Institute migrated from the Equella learning content management system to Alfresco Enterprise. The College was particularly attracted to the simpler user interface with previewing capabilities along with the ability to set up drives that would map content and automatically convert content to PDF format.
The project was designed and delivered by Alfresco partner, Androgogic who worked together with Wesley Institute on the installation, configuration, data migration and development of the Moodle learning management system integration with Alfresco. As part of the installation and scripted data migration, Androgogic helped Wesley Institute customise and configure the metadata.
Less than six months after the Alfresco system went into production, all of Wesley Institute's content had been successfully migrated and the new platform was having an immediate impact. The volume of content was significant too. The College had common documents such as study guide manuals, feedback forms and style guides to add across 42 units. Previously, this had taken a day and a half. In Alfresco, it took just 12 minutes.
"Thanks to Androgogic's expertise and experience, the integration process ran smoothly," said Will Gardner, Assistant Head of Education, School of Education, Wesley Institute. "Even beyond the obvious time efficiency benefits, it's incredibly gratifying just to know that we are now able to deliver a higher quality product to our end users," concludes Gardner.

Zurich, Switzerland & Ottawa, Canada, March 16, 2009 – PharmaGap Inc. (TSX-V: GAP)
("PharmaGap" or "the Company") and MD Biosciences GmbH ("MD Biosciences") have entered into a co-development collaboration pertaining to novel compounds for therapeutic usage in inflammatory and neurological applications, including potentially arthritis and multiple sclerosis. MD Biosciences has been granted exclusive access to a series of novel peptide compounds designed by PharmaGap as inhibitors of protein kinase c theta ("PKC theta"). PKC theta is a cellular signaling molecule associated with processes believed to contribute to many inflammatory and neurological disease conditions. MD Biosciences will assess the PharmaGap compounds in order to characterize their activity against PKC theta and then identify specific disease conditions in the areas of inflammation and neurology where the compounds may prove to be of therapeutic value. MD Biosciences would act as the lead partner to then commercialize the compounds for these specific therapeutic indications. Commercialization rights on generated intellectual property will be shared by the companies. Details of the agreement remain confidential.
MD Biosciences is a Swiss-based preclinical contract research and drug development company with numerous technology platforms and a core focus in Inflammation and Neurology Research. The Drug Discovery division is focused on developing early stage drug compounds for therapeutic applications within inflammation and neurology. MD Biosciences' strategy is to develop a series of novel drug compounds suitable for out-licensing to larger pharmaceutical industry partners. MD Biosciences operates facilities in Switzerland, the UK, the U.S. and Israel.
Dr. Eddie Moradian, Chief Executive of MD Biosciences, said, "We are extremely pleased to establish this collaboration with PharmaGap. The application of our inflammation and neurology discovery platforms to PharmaGap's novel peptide inhibitors of PKC theta will accelerate and maximize the potential for development and future commercialization for the resulting final compounds. Our knowledge of the inflammation and neurology field tells us that novel compounds targeting protein kinases and cell signaling are of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry"
Dr. Jenny Phipps, Chief Scientific Officer of PharmaGap, stated, "I am delighted and excited to continue working with the technical and scientific team at MD Biosciences. I believe that their expertise and technology will add immensely to our PKC theta development program, not only in the area of inflammation and neurology but also in providing key insights that can be used in our established cancer program."
"We are very pleased that MD Biosciences has identified our inhibitor of PKC theta as a compound of interest to which they wish to apply development resources and technology" said Robert C. McInnis, President and C.E.O. of PharmaGap. "Their capabilities and technology platform will allow much quicker and more technologically efficient development of a potential therapeutic drug for use in inflammation and neurological disease, which is an area in which PharmaGap has not defined as being a core focus, thus leveraging the potential value for PharmaGap shareholders in the investment in our technology platform made to date. This collaboration allows us to expand the potential downstream value of the PKC theta compound into other diseases, while allowing us to maintain our clear focus on developing compounds for cancer. Furthermore, it demonstrates the value in the underlying concept of our Company's research program, which is to produce a series of compounds targeting PKC isoforms based on a common drug design architecture."
Protein Kinase C Theta
The protein kinase c family of cellular enzymes modulate important biochemical and genetic-based signaling pathways in cells. PKC theta is associated with cell signaling processes in inflammatory and neurological diseases, as well as in certain cancers.

Kevin Millwood Leaves PawSox
Going, going, gone.
(Photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Kevin Millwood's attempted comeback has ended – at least with Pawtucket. The 35-year-old veteran emptied out his locker on Saturday night and has been granted his release by the Boston Red Sox.
"(The call from another team) would have to come relatively quick," Millwood told Brendan McGair of The Pawtucket Times. "I'm not going to throw, play catch, or things like that. Something is going to have to happen soon, but I'm not looking for that. I just thought it was time."
"It wasn't a shock," said PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur. "I was hoping he would stay with us for at least a few more games, but he felt that nothing was happening for him in Boston – those were his exact words – and he just said 'it's time.'"
"He was not here to play in Triple-A all year – I don't think any of us are – but especially for him," said pitcher Brandon Duckworth. "It wasn't a monetary thing for him – he wants a ring – but he just felt it was time. A lot of guys say, 'I'm done,' and then it doesn't happen. He felt that it was his time to go and that it just wasn't going to work out here."
Millwood was 5-1 with a 4.28 ERA in 13 starts for Pawtucket, and the team went 11-2 in those games. But in early July, the Red Sox promoted rookie Kyle Weiland to make a pair of starts when Jon Lester was injured and more recently, Boston traded for Erik Bedard to bolster its starting rotation.
"It is a big loss," said Sauveur. "We all knew that this was a very good possibility at some point, but it's a shame that it happened right now because I still say that you never know what might happen up there. A few years ago, Paul Byrd got a chance when he was basically sitting on his back porch and to have a guy that was ready in Triple-A is obviously better. But it was a decision that he wanted to make and I respect him for that."
"He did a great job with our young guys and was a quality guy around here," said PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler. "He's been a guy that we've depended on and we'll see how things work out. He's been a very professional guy the whole time that he's been here."
If Millwood's career is over, he finishes with 159-137 record in 14 major league seasons, an All-Star Game appearance in 1999, and a no-hitter for Philadelphia in 2003.
"I saw him after the game and it was tough," Sauveur said. "He's one of the most down-to-earth guys around and it was a pleasure to have him here. It was an honor to be his pitching coach for the time that he was here. He was great on and off the field and if I ever write a book, he'll have a chapter."
I'd love to hear from you. The address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Catching Fire," the second book in Suzanne Collins' young adult series "The Hunger Games," was published by Scholastic in 2009. Back then, it landed on every bestseller list you might imagine, and it's poised to return when the film version arrives in November.
Just like its predecessor, it stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, the tough heroine, and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta. You can see them both -- along with Donald Sutherland, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Stanley Tucci and more -- in the trailer for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," above.
One of the things the movie can't do is get inside Katniss' head -- but the book can. Here's how it begins:
"I clasp the flask between my hands even though the warmth from the tea has long since leached into the frozen air. My muscles are clenched tight against the cold. If a pack of wild dogs were to appear at this moment, the odds of scaling a tree before they attacked are not in my favor. I should get up, move around, and work the stiffness from my limbs. But instead I sit, as motionless as the rock beneath me, while the dawn begins to lighten the woods. I can't fight the sun. I can only watch helplessly as it drags me into a day that I've been dreading for months.
"By noon they will all be at my new house in the Victor's Village. The reporters, the camera crews, even Effie Trinket, my old escort, will have made their way to District 12 from the Capitol. I wonder if Effie will still be wearing that silly pink wig, or if she'll be sporting some other unnatural color especially for the Victory Tour. There will be others waiting, too. A staff to cater to my every need on the long train trip. A prep team to beautify me for public appearances. My stylist and friend, Cinna, who designed the gorgeous outfits that first made the audience take notice of me in the Hunger Games.
"If it were up to me, I would try to forget the Hunger Games entirely...."
The trailer hews closely to the setup from the book's first chapter, showing Katniss arriving at the ominous Victor's Village. It looks cold. And we also see that she gets some pretty spectacular outfits.
The film won't be here for a few months, but the book is available in hardcover and paperback and as an e-book.
