Written by Jess R.
It has been awhile since I had the time and energy to consistently contribute to bb.com. I am back. For the past three weeks, my day job has taken priority. As a fundraiser for Plymouth Housing Group, a local non-profit, I have been working overtime to get us ready for our annual gala, Seattle Dances!
Seattle Dances! is not your oridinary auction/fundraiser. Yes, we do have an auction but we also provide the guests with a Dancing with the Stars inspired entertainment. This past Saturday night, 8 local, Seattle "celebrities" partnered with professional dance instructors from Century Ball Room in Capital Hill to compete for votes and the Judge's Choice Award. The dancers did an amazing job raising money for Plymouth Housing Group and promoting our mission to end homelessness.
One of the available auction items was a brewery tour of Seattle. 6 lucky individuals will enjoy a tour of three breweries located in Fremont/Ballard– NW Peaks Brewing Co., Fremont Brewing Co., and Maritime Brewing Co. All three breweries were more than willing to donate their time and beer to this worthy cause.
NW Peaks Brewing Co. is the new kid on the block and is considered a nano- brewery. Owner and brewer, Kevin Kline works a 9-5 job then tends to his new and growing brewery. Located in Ballard, NW Peaks operates out of a small space and is open for limited hours. However, this brewery represents the beginning of something great as a new addition to the local craft beer scene.
Kevin began a membership program, accepts inquiries to assist him in brewing and has the mentality of someone who wants to share his beer with the world. Just stop by and you'll know exactly what I mean. Go to NW Peaks' website for hours and other information (such as what beer is pouring, most importantly).
Fremont Brewing Co. is quickly becoming a very popular brewery in Seattle with quality brews and a space that beckons local visitors. I love breweries who have wide open tasting rooms with the brewing equipment glistening in the backdrop. There is something very grassroots about this set-up. Fremont is just that.
Many words come to mind when I think of this brewery–community, environment, innovation and sustainability. I love that Fremont dry hops their IPA with various hops and ingredients, such as grapefruit, thai basil and orange. These dry hopped IPAs are only available at the brewery- just another reason to visit.
To round out this tour, the last stop is Maritime Brewing Co. The largest and most established of the three, Maritime Brewing Co. has been a staple in Seattle's craft brewing industry for over twenty years. Owner, George Hancock is an advocate of great beer and of Washington brewers. Just over a year ago, Maritime opened the doors to the new Jolly Roger Taproom and Brewpub.
At the Jolly Roger, beer drinkers can get a taste of all that Maritime has to offer from their regular line up to cask conditioned ales and seasonal favorites like the Jolly Roger Christmas Ale. Stop by and don't forget to take a peak at the menu- try the onion rings and the mahi sliders!
Thanks to Timperial Stout and DSR who have picked up my slack while I work away at my day job. More so, thank you to NW Peaks Brewing Co., Fremont Brewing Co. and Maritime Pacific Brewing Co. for bringing us great beer and giving back to the community!

American stories: paintings of everyday life, 1765-1915
Helene Barbara Weinberg, Carrie Rebora Barratt, Margaret C. Conrads, Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.), Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Yale University Press, 2009 - Art - 222 pages
This beautiful volume explores American paintings of people engaged in the tasks and pleasures of everyday life between the colonial era and World War I. These works reflect key historical and cultural developments, including the growth of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration; changing gender roles; and the shifting location and meaning of the frontier.
Focusing on leading artists, from John Singleton Copley to John Sloan, the authors address narrative content in colonial and early national portraits; genre scenes of the Jacksonian period; images from the Civil War era; and works by American Impressionists and realists in the decades before and after 1900. Like the exhibition it accompanies, the book reflects transformations in artists' aspirations and viewers' expectations as America evolved from isolated British outpost to leading independent participant in international affairs.

Poetry Out Loud encourages students to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation. This program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about literary history and contemporary life.
Since 2005, Poetry Out Loud has grown to reach more than 3.6 million students and 55,000 teachers from 14,000 schools in every state, Washington, DC, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Contest Structures and Awards
Poetry Out Loud uses a pyramid structure that starts at the classroom level. Winners advance to a school-wide competition, then to a regional and/or state competition, and ultimately to the National Finals. Awards and placements are determined solely by the judges' scores based on the Poetry Out Loud Evaluation Criteria.
Each winner at the state level receives $200 and an all-expenses-paid trip with an adult chaperone to Washington, DC, to compete for the national championship. The state winner's school receives $500 for the purchase of poetry books. The first runner-up in each state receives $100, with $200 for his or her school. A total of $50,000 in awards and school stipends is awarded annually at the National Finals. The Poetry Foundation provides and administers all aspects of the monetary prizes awarded and travel arrangements for Poetry Out Loud.
Awards are made in the form of lump sum cash payouts, reportable to the IRS. Tax liabilities are the sole responsibility of the winners and their families.
Program Materials and Schedule
Poetry Out Loud curriculum materials include the online poetry anthology, a comprehensive teacher's guide, videos of student performances, lesson plans, and promotional and media guides. Hard copies of materials are free for teachers participating in the official program.
Materials are sent to high schools beginning in August, and the program is run through early winter. (Poetry Out Loud does not require full class periods and can be completed in 2-3 weeks.)

Several months ago, the Japanese government wanted to establish a "sushi patrol" to root out rice-packing poseurs passing off mayo-drenched hand-rolls as the real deal. Well, that's yet to happen, and so as I began taking it upon myself to decipher the blurred line between real and fake, the thought occurred, "Should authenticity really be the mark of a good meal?"
And does Japan have any right to criticize others when the country itself is a major perpetrator of food bastardization?
Some of the country's best eats are so culturally-disassociated that you just sorta end up calling it Japanese food. Pizza-la, for example, has this great "Bomber" pizza topped in segmented quarters with tomatoes and scrambled eggs; seafood; teriyaki chicken and asparagus; and potatoes and bacon. (Hey, don't knock it 'til you try it!) So how would you classify this unique combo? Italian? American? I'd say it's uniquely Japanese.
To generalize a bit, it's the older Japanese generation, mostly males, who prefer the more "authentic" fare. Shio-kara (salted and fermented cuttlefish) comes to mind. I can't stand it but old men love it with their Asahi beer.
And then there's food for the 18-35 demographic, which they serve to no end at Torrance's Musha. I headed there the other night with Rameniac, who'd heard the place gets lively with young, hot Japanese people on the weekends. Well, they were no where to be found, but at least the food was good:
Here lies a Japanese/Korean hybrid. Yes, for the first time in modern history, the two nations amicably unite to bring you buta kimuchi, a medley of soy sauce-flavored pork, mushrooms, onions, and spicy, pickled cabbage. It's accompanied by Japanese Kewpie mayo in case you can't handle the heat of solidarity. (4 out of 5 stars)
Takotama is Musha's signature dish. Filled with octopus, onion, shiitake and layers of scrambled egg, some might call it a noodle pie. Others describe it as egg foo yung. I thought it was an okonomiyaki. It might as well be called a U.F.O., unidentified funky omelette. Drenched in mayo and homemade soy-based sauce, it's on the sweet side but I still found it addicting. (4 out of 5)
Musha's Fried Chicken (M.F.C. for short) is one of those dishes that'll make you do the happy dance in your seat, 'nuff said.
The Japanese word for this dish is chikin katsu, or chicken cutlet. According to Wikipedia, cutlet was introduced to Japan during the turn-of-the-century Meiji period, in a Western cuisine restaurant in the ultra fashionable Ginza district of Tokyo. Yet another uniquely non-authentic dish. (4.5 out of 5)
These yuba rolls stuffed with cucumber and crab were a great refreshment to my oiled and greased palate, though it doesn't pack much punch. Definitely skipable.
Yuba is the byproduct of boiled soy milk. Soy is native to both Japan and China, but these most likely came from the latter cause imports are cheaper. During the anti-carb craze, yuba-wrapped sushi gained popularity at Los Angeles roll factories as the low-calorie alternative. So again, not authentically Japanese. (2 out of 5)
And finally there's the tanshio (cow tongue), which most likely came from Australia or, dare I say, the U.S. ("E-coli on the side, please!") Though according to an authentic Japanese person, this dish is definitely an old man's beer companion.
I enjoyed it. It's lightly seasoned and comes with a buttery dipping sauce. Oh and yes, you cook it yourself on a mini tabletop grill. Ooh~ It's always nice to have an extra hot tongue in your mouth. (^_<) (3 out of 5)

As most Americans have probably noticed by now, Donald Trump has a lot of strong opinions.
The TV host/ real estate tycoon/ interminable bombast generator has done scores of media interviews throughout his years in the spotlight, building – along with something in the ballpark of 95 percent national name recognition -- a Google-ready quote trove for journalists and political opponents to mine.
News outlets, including First Read, have already noted Trump's potentially problematic statements about his onetime support for universal health care, his praise for the stimulus plan, and his flip-flop on abortion.
Digging through those transcripts, we also found some instances of Trump opining on famous folks, from a former president of the United States to, um, K-Fed.
Here's a few of them.
On Paris Hilton:
"Paris said she wants to build a brand just like Donald Trump and I don't know if she's done it the same way but she is smart like a fox … I also happen to think that I believe she's very beautiful. A lot of people don't agree with me, you know. Some people say 'Oh, she's really not.' I happen to think she's very beautiful." (CNN/ October 9, 2006)
On Angelina Jolie:
"She's been with so many guys she makes me look like a baby, OK, with the other side. And I just don't even find her attractive." (CNN/ October 9, 2006)
On former Rep. Mark Foley:
"And, you know, if I were gay, which is perhaps a well-known story that I'm not, I would admit that I'm gay. But he would come in with magnificent-looking women. It was like torture to me watching this." (CNN/ October 9, 2006)
On former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich:
"I don't say he's a rocket scientist." (Fox News, May 24, 2010)
On onetime presidential candidate Pat Buchanan:
"He's a Hitler lover. I guess he's an anti-Semite. He doesn't like the blacks, he doesn't like the gays. It's just incredible that anybody could embrace this guy. And maybe he'll get 4 or 5 percent of the vote and it'll be a really staunch right wacko vote." (NBC, October 24, 1999)
On O.J. Simpson:
"This is probably the least innocent person I`ve ever seen." (CNN, September 19, 2007)
On Kevin Federline, ex-husband of Britney Spears:
"You know when somebody likes you, you say 'Hey.' So, I totally changed my mind. I think Kevin Federline is fantastic." (CNN/ October 9, 2006)
On former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice:
"Condoleezza Rice, who's a lovely woman but she never makes a deal. She doesn't make deals. She waves. She gets off the plane. She waves. She sits down with some dictator, 45-degree angle. They do the camera shot. She waves again. She gets back on the plane. She waves. No deal ever happens." (CNN/ March 16 2007)
On the cast of 'The View':
"Barbara Walters is a person that I know very well. I mean, she picked me last year as one of her top 10 people of whatever it's called. So, it's not like I dislike Barbara, but I'm disappointed in Barbara."
And: "I don't even know Joy Behar. I just think she has no talent whatsoever."
And: "Elisabeth Hasselbeck is not, as I said, is not the brightest light on the planet." (Fox, May 31, 2007)
On Rosie O'Donnell:
"She went to my wedding. She had lots and lots of cake, and I'll tell you what, she is a terrible human being." (FOX, May 29, 2007)
On God:
Caller: "Number one, where is the best real estate to buy right now? And number two, what do you think about God?"
Trump: I love God. I believe in God, much more important question. And number two, real estate is good all over depending on if you know the location." (CNN, March 9, 2006)
On Michael Jackson
"Yes, he's a friend of mine. I mean, he's a good guy. You know, he's a little different." (CNN, May 17, 2005)
On Sir Richard Branson, billionaire founder of the Virgin brand
"I'm not a man of the people, right? He is. But the fact is that, you know, as far as Branson's concerned, I doubt -- I personally don't see how he could be a billionaire. He's in the airline business. Who's a billionaire in the airline business?" (CNN, November 24, 2004)
On President Bill Clinton
"Why do they keep revealing the details? He had sex, but now they talk about the kind of sex, the--where it took place, where it was, on the desk, off the desk--I mean, it's--it's so out-of-control. I've never seen anything like it." (CNBC, August 27, 1998)
On Clinton's accusers
Trump: These people are just, I don't know, where he met them - where he found them … The whole group, Paula Jones, Lewinsky, it's just a really unattractive group. I'm not just talking about physical.
Interviewer: Would it be any different if it were a supermodel crowd?
Trump: I think at least it would be more pleasant to watch. (FOX, August 19, 1998)
On President Bill Clinton vs. President Trump?
"Can you imagine how controversial I'd be? You think about him with the women. How about me with the women? Can you imagine?" (CNBC, August 27, 1998)

Kathleen Thomas Gaspar
Colorado Sales Manager
A native of Colorado, Kathleen Thomas Gaspar began her career as a journalist in 1978, writing a weekly feature column for The Summit County Journal in Breckenridge, CO. From 1978 through 1991, she edited several newspapers and magazines, including Breckenridge magazine, Summit magazine and a weekly newspaper, The Quandary Times, which she co-founded in the late 1980s. In 1990 she submitted a feature to The Produce News, a lengthy explanation of the annual "tomato wars" waged between Coloradans and Texans who live in the small mountain community of Twin Lakes. Thus began Kathleen's love affair with the produce industry, which she likens to the stock market (for its intensity) and to a large, extended family (for its heart and soul).
She also occasionally likens it to a range war. Mother of two grown sons and married to fly fishing guide Abe Gaspar, Kathleen is grandmother of Lily, Hannah Mae, Milo and Zoe. At the Gaspar home in Hartsel, CO, she enjoys caring for her assortment of pets, and she also spends time in her high- altitude garden. A sometimes-runner, Kathleen takes in the rare air of the Rockies and soaks up the small-town atmosphere. She also continues to write her weekly feature column, launched in 1978 and available for reading on line at www.theflume.com.

Potato latkes may be the best known variety of this crispy staple of Hanukkah meals, but don't feel you need to limit yourself to them.
Though potatoes have their own symbolism in this Jewish holiday, it is the oil used in the frying that is particularly significant. It symbolizes the long-lasting oil burned in the temple lamps in the story of Hanukkah. And that is why there are so many latke variations, including sweet potato, onion and carrot.
Since the first day of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year, we decided to draw on a staple of that all-American holiday to make a delicious variation - pumpkin latkes. We top ours with a cranberry-spiked sour cream, but applesauce would be just as delicious.
Sour cream not on your Hanukkah-Thanksgiving menu? Applesauce is an easy and delicious substitute.
1 cup sour cream
cup finely chopped dried cranberries
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
teaspoon nutmeg
teaspoon ground cloves
Vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 small sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded and shredded (about 3 cups)
2 eggs
cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon ground black pepper
Toasted pecans, to garnish
Start to finish: 30 minutes
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion and cook until very tender and well browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the onion (reserving the skillet) to a medium bowl and mix in the shredded pumpkin, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper.
Wipe out the skillet used to cook the onions. Return it to medium-high heat and add a inch of vegetable oil. Working in batches, scoop the pumpkin mixture by the heaping tablespoonful into the pan, 3 or 4 scoops at a time. Flatten each scoop with the back of the spatula and cook until browned on both sides and tender at the center, about 3minutes per side.
Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain. Serve topped with the cranberry sour cream and garnished with toasted pecans.
Serves 10

First, Martha Taylor hosted a fundraiser with very special guest Congressman Joseph Crowley to raise some dough for her campaign to replace Councilman James Gennaro, who will be forced from office due to term limits.
Crowley, the head of the Queens County Democratic Party, is a big get for Taylor, who also works for former city comptroller Bill Thompson, which could help her down the line.
She'll need it. Rory Lancman, who left the Assembly to run for Congress against Grace Meng but lost, is also running in the district.
And on Tuesday night, Paul Vallone announced his candidacy for City Council in the 19th District, a seat currently held by Dan Halloran, who incidentally also ran for Congress against Grace Meng but lost.
Vallone will likely face a Democratic Primary challenger, but if he makes it over that hurdle he will square off against the incumbent, which makes Halloran's presence at the annual Vallone Christmas Party in Astoria last month all that more confusing.
And don't forget voters will get to select a new mayor this year, and one of those looking to take over for Bloomberg (provided he doesn't find a way to get himself a fourth term!) is John Catsimatidis, owner and CEO of Gristedes, among other profitable ventures.
Catsimatidis actually stopped by the Ledger/Star offices Monday night to talk about his campaign. The whole conversation was strictly off the record, but since Pol Position wasn't even allowed in the room anyway because of our notoriously loose lips, we can't tell you much more than the fact that he was here. And that he is running for mayor.

Her complaint was "headache" and her temperature was 102.8 degrees Fahrenheit. She was on multiple immunosuppressants, including steroids, for a mixed connective-tissue disorder. There was no apparent explanation for her fever -- no urinary tract infection, no cough or runny nose. As I gently flexed her neck forward, she winced.
And I winced.
Because there was just no option -- she needed a spinal tap to assess for meningitis. And with a body type like hers, the likelihood was that it would be a flog. I could see where this was going to end up -- a half hour of torturing this nice lady trying to get the tap myself; a call to interventional radiology and the obligate half-hour delay in the call-back; enduring the open scorn (best case) or scathing abuse (worst case) of the radiologist who was called in the middle of the night to do the procedure under x-ray guidance. There was seven hours left to go in my shift, I reflected, and I would be lucky if I could get the disposition accomplished before then.
So, first off, I got set up to give it the obligate college try. Lie her on her right side and set up the table as usual, as if this is anything other than going through the motions. I set up the test tubes, neatly in a row, as if there is a chance they will soon be filled with glistening CSF. I go through my usual pre-procedure patter, trying to put her at ease and trying to get myself to believe that this is just like any other tap I will do this week.
Sitting on my little stool, face to face with the small of her back, I could not find a single anatomic landmark to guide me. The spinous processes were buried under a thick layer of fat and not at all palpable. The iliac crest at the top of the hip-bone was similarly obscured. For that matter, I couldn't even positively identify the midline! The nurse and the patient's husband watched me, their expressions full of a simple confidence that I would quickly put this to rest. How little they know, I thought. I was careful to give her a healthy dose of numbing medicine and premedicated her for the procedure with dilaudid, figuring I was about to be causing her some pain. I made my best estimate of the locations and angles I would try, placed the needle against her clean skin and closed my eyes before sliding the needle in by feel alone. I waited for the sudden, hard resistance that would indicate I had just rammed the needle into bone. But it didn't come. Bemused, I pulled the stylet back and peered into the hub of the needle. Crystal clear fluid briskly welled up and began to drip out.
My jaw was hanging open behind my surgical mask, but my eyes and voice hid my astonishment as I said "We're in," in my most professional tone and began to collect the fluid. The nurse cooed, "There, that wasn't so bad, was it?" And the patient replied, "I didn't feel a thing. Is it always that easy?"
Easy? Yeah, that's the word for it: easy. Well, as far as they know...
The icing on the cake came an hour later:

These party recipes celebrate the home cities of the teams facing off in Super Bowl XLVII.
Old Bay Seasoning was first introduced in Baltimore more than 70 years ago, so I roasted the shrimp with the seasoning. And in a nod to New Orleans, I made a Creole-style remoulade sauce with a little Old Bay to serve with the shrimp.
While it is contested, many people accept fortune cookies were created in San Francisco in the late 1890s or early 1900s. I thought the golden-brown color of the cookie was an appropriate homage to the 49ers, and I added the orange flavor to the batter to make it shine like gold.
Old Bay lemon-lime roasted shrimp
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
5 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ lemon, juice and zest
1 lime, juice and zest
3 to 5 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (let your palette guide you)
Salt/pepper (to taste)
Combine olive oil, garlic, lemon and lime in sealable bag and add shrimp. Marinate 30 minutes at room temperature. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place shrimp on baking sheet and sprinkle with Old Bay, salt and pepper. Roast for 8 to 12 minutes (depending on the size of your shrimp) until pinked and curled.
Remoulade sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon zest
2 to 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish (to taste)
1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce (to taste)
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
Salt (to taste)
Mix ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Orange-vanilla chocolate-dipped fortune cookies
(makes about 15)
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons sugar
1½ teaspoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons water
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons orange zest (or ½ vanilla extract and ½ orange-flavored extract)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 oounces baking chocolate bar or chips (I prefer a dark, bittersweet chocolate to counter the sweetness.)
Extra equipment: glass or coffee mug and a muffin tin
Write/print fortunes on small pieces of paper. Be creative and have fun. (Example: "This is not your fortune. Eat another cookie.")
Grease two large baking sheets. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Stir in water. Combine egg whites, vanilla, orange and oil. Stir until it's a bit frothy. Pour flour mixture into egg mixture and stir until it forms a smooth batter.
Scoop a tablespoon of batter and pour on baking sheet to form a circle. Make sure you leave 2 to 3 inches of space between the batter circles, or they will bake together.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes until outer edge turns golden brown.
Take out of oven and use a spatula to lift one cookie off the sheet.
Place a fortune in the middle and fold cookie in half. Then place on the rim of a glass or coffee mug and let the edges bend over both sides (you may have to pull them slightly). Put cookie in the muffin tin to help it keep its shape. Repeat until batter is gone.
Chop chocolate unless you have the chips. Place in a microwaveable bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each one. Make sure all the chocolate is melted.
Dip one end of the cookies in the chocolate. Place chocolate-side-up in muffin tin to dry. Enjoy, but don't eat your fortune.

I was up until til 2:30am cooking to fulfil orders and make samples. I am feeling hyper and excited, with that butterflies-in-stomach feeling about what lies ahead and the opportunities that I have. I am equally overwhelmed about what to do next and I'm tired. Whatever I do, it means that I'm not doing something else that is equally important.
The bookkeeper came this morning and we are getting our new system in tip-top condition. It required my attention because we are changing to a new accounting system and I need to know how it works. So I couldn't make the follow-up sales calls I needed to do, or pay the bills, or organise tasting sessions, etc. I also teach Spanish on a Wednesday and I haven't prepared yet.
More orders are coming through, but I'm not able to cook tomorrow because I'm at a "Meet the Buyer" event. I hope the buyers do buy! So it looks like another 2:30am bed time tomorrow, as my kids are in a local panto and I won't miss their debut!
Wish me luck, I'll keep the coffee flowing...

I am responsible for DataPower Probe since I joined DataPower (Compiler) team 7 years ago. Just looked at the 18 Probe related APARs from the last 4 years and saw that I did fix half of them.
Probe is a very useful debugging tool in DataPower development. I have answered many Probe related questions in developerWorks DataPower forum over the last years. Last Thursday posting
was the first time I have seen request on determining whether Probe is enabled or not INSIDE a stylesheet being executed. Ted's usecase is on different amount of logging he wants to have depending on Probe is enabled or not. This may be solved alternatively via log level, but the question on how to determine Probe status in stylesheet was interesting.
OK, with Probe being enabled we are talking about dev and/or functional test DataPower boxes -- do not enble Probe in performance test or prod environments (InfoCenter is very clear on this).
Accessing the XML Management interface is possible from within a stylesheet:
Doing SOMA call that way to just query Probe state is possible, but would add quite some latency to XSLT processing.
DataPower stylesheets are able to access all status providers via "dp:variable('var://service/system/status/___')":
The status provider which helps on determining Probe status is "Stylesheet Status" [dp:variable('var://service/system/status/StylesheetStatusSimpleIndex')]. I did execute a stylesheet via coproc2 service two times, and "Stylesheet Status" shows "coproc2.xsl" needed by coproc2 service and two temporary stylesheets (one new gets created each time a coproc2 execution happens).
As you can see there is an indication on whether a stylesheet is streamable (xslt-s-f-...) or not streamable (xslt-f-...). Then I did enable Probe for coproc2 service and did another coproc2 request:
As you can see besides the (new) temporary stylesheet "webgui:///msdebug-client.xsl" is displayed. This stylesheet is used by DataPower internally to capture all the data for each context of a Transaction with Probe enabled. And you can see that now the (same) stylesheet that was streamable before is marked as not streamable (xslt-f-...). Reason is that enabling Probe automatically converts all "PIPE" contexts to "real" contexts and disables all streaming processing.
So for stylesheets that are streamable you might just look for streamability indicator in Stylesheet cache, but the vast majority of stylesheets is NOT streamable. For these we can look for the presence of "webgui:///msdebug-client.xsl" in XML manager of the stylesheet's service.
Now I turned off Probe for coproc2 service again and did another coproc2 transaction:
As you can see the new temporary stylesheet has the streambility indicator again (xslt-s-f-...), but "webgui:///msdebug-client.xsl" is still present. Reason is that disabling Probe does not remove that stylesheet from stylesheet cache.
So in order to use "webgui:///msdebug-client.xsl" as Probe status indicator we need to do:
1) on "enable" Probe, nothing
2) on "disable" Probe, flush service's XML Manager's Stylesheet cache
xi52(config)# clear xsl
Usage: clear xsl cache <xml-mgr>
xi52(config)# clear xsl cache coproc2xform
Cleared cache of XML manager 'coproc2xform'
3) In order to not get fooled by another service's Probe enabled with same XML Manager, use a XML Manager specific to each service
In order to look for presence of "webgui:///msdebug-client.xsl" in stylesheet cache of XSLT's service's XML Manager we need to determine its name. This can be easily done by "dp:variable('var://service/xmlmgr-name')". This stylesheet now does put all pieces together, and returns a simple true/false response. In addition it measures the time needed for the test, measured in milliseconds. Here you see that it takes 1msec on XI52 with Probe enabled:
$ echo "<foobar/>" | coproc2 ssstat.xsl - http://firestar:2223 ; echo
1msec true
And this is stylesheet ssstate.xsl:

It's hard to escape the "I shop, therefore I am" culture. Yet what we buy, where we buy it, where our products come from and are made, and even whether we should buy something in the first place have serious implications for the global economy and the environment.
That was the premise of a provocative April panel discussion held in The Diana Center Event Oval: Can Consumption Save the World? Moderated by Peabody- and Emmy Award–winning journalist Alison Craiglow Hockenberry '88, adjunct professor at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism, the conversation, driven by Hockenberry's questions, explored the complicated issues surrounding production and consumption. The panel featured Paige West, Tow Professor of anthropology; Sandra Goldmark, assistant professor of professional practice in the theatre department; Eleanor J. Sterling, director of the American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation; and Dean Cycon, founder of Dean's Beans Organic Coffee Company.
The panel explored the hidden environmental and economic costs of items like coffee and clothing, as well as ways for the audience to think about the urge to consume. The existential dilemma, expressed by West, came down to "How do you live life with the constant anxiety about what you buy and what you don't?"
Consider the Oreo cookie. "The larger question is how consumption is often dispossessing someone somewhere else," said West, linking the palm-tree oil used as an ingredient in the cookie—and many other products, from tennis shoes to lipstick—to these issues. For example, in comparison to our society, said West, many of those in the developing world leave a gentler footprint on the environment, "by using things until the very end of their utility." In her work in Papua New Guinea, West saw how companies that use palm-tree oil for an ingredient in their products effectively removed that land from use by the indigenous people for 25 years.
Even an issue like fair trade isn't as simple as one might think. Fair trade, usually defined as a trading partnership that offers greater equity in international trade by supporting farmers and producers in developing countries, can either help producers or, as sometimes happens with the certification process, be a way for savvy marketers to make their product seem more valuable, assuage consumer guilt, and charge more money for it without necessarily making a significant difference for the actual producers.
For Cycon, whose company uses fair-trade beans as a means to achieve social, economic, and environmental benefits in coffee-producing communities in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, "It's a system that acknowledges that dispossessed people need help," he said, and suggested the business model needs to change. "We say that growth isn't the point of our business, it's the outcome of business done well," said Cycon. "You have to make companies more responsible."
Even more adjustments might be necessary. For Sterling, it's time to rethink our value system. "You have to keep stepping back. Are we driven by the advertising industry? You need to ask deeper questions. What are you buying for? What is your impact? Not consuming can change the world."
It doesn't help that there's so much in the way of inexpensive goods out there.
As Hockenberry asked, "Doesn't the global labor force making little money fuel the disposable culture?" When there's an abundant supply of cheap goods—the panel pointed out that there are often hidden labor and economic costs to those items—it's hard to justify spending money to fix them when replacement seems a smarter financial decision.
In a throwaway culture, Goldmark and her husband, Michael Banta, launched an itinerant repair service, Pop Up Repair, in 2013, precisely to address that issue. "As a set designer, I think about stuff all day long," said Goldmark. "How do we create meaning from stuff we use to tell stories? At home, I felt we were drowning in things. We're facing the most dire environmental challenge. When items break, there's nowhere to go." She and Banta launched Pop Up Repair as a place where people can bring everything—chairs, lamps, iPhones, small appliances such as toasters and blenders, toys, and stuffed animals—and have them fixed. Also being used as a research project, the service opens in various neighborhoods for a limited amount of time.
Still, Goldmark said, "The price of new goods is less than the cost of repairing them." On a personal level, she is "struggling to…buy less. I think about what I buy, and will spend a little more money to go somewhere I believe in."
Conscious consuming may, in fact, be a solution to saving the planet. "One of the things that makes me hopeful is that students are thinking very carefully about these [questions], like the labor cost of goods," said West.
According to Cycon, there is no way around consumption. We are all—and will remain—consumers. The key is to buy consciously. "Consumption has to save the planet because all we do is consume," said Cycon. "Everybody should go home and think of one or two things to research—like fair trade, or sustainability. People need information to make good choices."

1. Not Cartoonish - We want the deign to look more like a statement, a bold, recognizable logo/emblem
2. The typeface (if included) should be clear. It can be interesting just not over the top, as again it's something we would like to attempt to hold for time to come.
3. Pretty sure we'll be sticking to Blacks/Greys/Whites. Again to keep it simple. But if you feel like you have a interesting colourful idea we will definitely consider it.
4. We require Full Copyright of the design
- Please see my file attached for the idea of the logo i had in my head. Play around with wording (if including it) I'm not too sure what will sit well.
- Please feel free to get as creative or as conservative as you feel! :)
I would like a variety of formats as the design needs to be flexible enough to be used in many different applications.
I'm thinking -
Print file format - .EPS and or PNG

The ACLU of Massachusetts has filed a state complaint over an iPad policy in the Mendon-Upton School District that it says allows only low-income students to take home district-provided devices, while other students would have to purchase technology for home use.
The complaint, filed with the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, challenges the iPad initiative at Miscoe Hill Middle School, which allows students identified as qualifying for free or reduced price meals, to take district devices home.
All other students can either choose to use a district device only at school, or have their parents purchase an iPad that they could use at home, according to a menu of options on the system's website, the complaint states.
The American Civil Liberties Union said the policy violates state law by not providing all students with equal access to educational resources.
"The discrepancy between these options directly disadvantages students whose parents cannot, or choose not, to purchase iPads," wrote Sarah Wunsch, the ACLU Foundation of Massachusetts deputy legal director.
"Those students are not able to use the iPad at home in the evenings, on weekends, or on holidays to do their homework and continue the learning that this District has deemed an important, if not necessary, part of their school curriculum."
The complaint was filed on behalf of Mendon parent Michael Watson, who said in a phone interview that he had tried unsuccessfully for more than a year to get the Mendon-Upton district to voluntarily change its policy.
Superintendent Joseph P. Maruszczak could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Watson, who has a son at Miscoe Hill Middle School, said he felt the policy was unfair when he first started investigating his options for purchasing an iPad for his son. Although his family can afford to purchase a device, Mr. Watson said it is not fair to students whose parents might not be able to.
The complaint will trigger a state review of the policy, he said.
"Schools must provide equal access to education, regardless of your ability to pay," he said.
Children without access to iPads, or wireless internet at home, cannot become more familiar with the apps, or the materials, or collaborate with each other outside school hours, he said.
"This isn't fair to anybody," Mr. Watson said.
The district's iPad initiative at Miscoe Hill dates to 2012, according to the district's website, when it was introduced to students in the seventh grade in a pilot program. It has now moved through all grade levels at the middle school.
According to the summary online, the purpose is to develop student skills in research, collaboration, developing presentations and other tasks. The system also has a similar policy at Nipmuc Regional High School.
For families who choose to purchase an iPad, the district website provides several payment options. The cost varies by design, but the devices typically are several hundred dollars each. An iPad Air, with Apple Care tech support, will cost $592 for Nipmuc students, for example.
The district also recommends that parents purchase insurance for the devices. Wireless access at home is not required, the district said, but for students who have to complete assignments, access to wireless can be found in some public spaces, including the library.
The iPad is not required for out-of-school use. But according to the ACLU, when the district decides that a particular subject or type of instruction is a part of its curriculum, it is required to provide those supplies "free of charge."
It cited case law, including one dating to 1942, in which typewriters were found to be covered under this law once districts found that type-writing was "an expedient subject to teach."
Mr. Watson said the district should provide the iPads to all students, if it is to become a district initiative. Students whose parents have no trouble affording the technology will have access to them out-of-school, he said. Students who qualify for free- or reduced-price lunches and breakfasts, based on their family income and size, also will have access to the device 24-7, he said.
"If you fall just above that, you're out of luck," Mr.Watson said, of the federal threshold for assistance. "Those are the kids I'm worried about."

In support of IUCN's Global Marine Program's high seas initiatives and the efforts being made to increase the world's quota of marine protected areas, Chantecaille has launched a special 'La Baleine' collection of cosmetics, from eyeshadows to lipsticks, of which five percent of all sales will be donated to IUCN.
To mark this collaboration, Chantecaille will be holding a special event alongside IUCN's Global Marine Program at Neiman Marcus on May 16th 2009 where guests are invited to sample the delights of La Baleine and to learn more about the high seas and marine conservation from local marine experts.
The High Seas
The largest, least-protected places on our blue planet are found in the high seas – the open ocean and deep seabed that lie seaward of individual nations' jurisdictions.
Extending from the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica to most of the Indian, Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, these areas cover 45% of the Earth's surface. Hidden beneath the surface of the high seas are extraordinary places that are in urgent need of our protection. Belonging to no single nation, they have been, for too long, neglected by all.
The high seas are home to great whales, sea turtle, seabirds, tunas and sharks that traverse entire ocean basins in search of food. They house deep-dwelling fishes and invertebrate animals that live long, slow-motion lives in eternal darkness. High seas ecosystems include places where great water masses meet and species congregate, as well as vast muddy plains, coral-capped seamounts, and vents that shoot hot water into the frigid depths. These places give rise to many rich and precious life forms found nowhere else on the planet.
The high seas are truly hidden treasures of our blue earth. Their loses are our losses, as they threaten the ability of the oceans to sustain marine life and support human societies.
The ten high seas sites identified by scientists from all over the world illustrate just a few of the special places that require further conservation consideration.
Make-up that is ocean deep
Chantecaille's Baleine collection (as recently featured in Vogue and the New York Times) uses a blue whale to symbolize the plight of the high seas. These mysterious and endangered species travel enormous distances, roaming the farthest reaches on their migratory routes, as they criss-cross the high seas. Along the way, they continually experience the threat of human impacts. Hundreds of whales die each year from entanglement in fishing nets. Sonar pollution and noise from container ships and undersea drilling and exploration disorient whales, hindering their communication and causing physical damage. Thousands of whales are hunted and killed each year in spite of the official moratorium on whaling.
The Chantecaille Baleine collection is available at Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Frédéric Fekkai Salons, Neiman Marcus, select Saks Fifth Avenue locations, Jeffrey New York, Space NK and online at http://www.eluxury.com/

Compounds defeat malaria at every step
Experimental drugs are first to kill all stages of the parasite's infection cycle
Mae Melvin/CDC
By striking at a critical enzyme in malaria parasites, researchers can defeat the protozoan in all stages of an infection. Compounds kill even those forms of the parasite that hide in the liver or lie low in the bloodstream.
The new battle plan, published November 27 in Nature, arrives at a time when malaria parasites are becoming increasingly resistant to drugs. Malaria parasites, protozoans in the genus Plasmodium, exist in several distinct life stages within the human body, each of which has different treatment requirements. In the study, scientists could wipe out P. vivax and P. falciparum — the main human-infecting parasites — in lab dishes and clear other strains of the infection in mice.
The team used chemicals called imidazopyrazines to stymie the malaria by disabling an enzyme in the parasite that controls the transport of lipid molecules across membranes. The

The Syria Files,
Files released: 1432389
The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

Re: Wishlist for iRedMail-0.8.0
Many users ask for calendar server, but i prefer to keep iRedMail as a **MAIL** server solution, with minimal 3rd-party softwares.
The better way i prefer is providing addition FAQs/tutorials to help admins achieve them.
If we really want to integrate it into core iRedMail script, it's better to public integration documentation first, asking help for testing from users who are interested in, then integrate it.
Do you have any experience with calendar server (calendarserver.org)? I'm glad to public it on wiki site if you can share with us.
P.S. We do need a new topic for calendar server discussion.
