Chef Diego Oka's Cebiche
Featured in Miami and New York
Photo courtesy of La Mar
Chef Diego Oka, Executive Chef of La Mar by Gaston Acurio at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami is known for his innovative, inspired take on cuisine from his home country of Peru. As of this fall, New York diners will get a taste of his food when they dine at NoLiTa's Chef's Club.
Curated by Culinary Director Didier Elena, a 20-year Alain Ducasse veteran, and Creative Director Dana Cowin, the Chef's Club menu features 25 signature dishes from 25 top chefs from around the world. The only Miami-based chef to be included, Diego's dish Cebiche Classic – fluke, rock shrimp, octopus, uni, and leche de tigre – is a modern take on a Peruvian classic.
What was the thinking behind the dish you created for the menu?
The dish was inspired by country in which it was born – Peru. We wanted to capture a dish that represented the cultural spirit and flavors of Peru, while highlighting the heritage and precision of Japanese technique; and then of course bring a local relevancy to the dish by utilizing locally sourced ingredients!
How did it feel to be chosen to be a participant?
Surprising, amazing, exiting… everything! Being new to the New York culinary scene, it was a privilege to cook in such a prestigious and exclusive restaurant like Chefs Club by Food & Wine! There are no words to explain the feeling I had when they asked to have our dish on the menu – truly a reminder that I love what I do!
You've worked with the Gaston all over the world, have local flavors influenced your menu at all?
I've worked with Gaston for many years opening restaurants in Lima, Mexico City, Colombia, San Francisco, Chicago and now, Miami. We absolutely use local ingredients, but our menu is more so based on our diners and teaching them about our food - showing them the culture of Peru by using food as our lens.
Is there more pressure cook in Miami, given the proximity to Latin America and the presence of Peruvian diners?
Miami is a city that has been eating Peruvian food for many years. In Miami alone there are more than 200 Peruvian restaurants. La Mar will turn three this year and we are hopeful that we have done our part to uplift the relevance of the cuisine.
Lima has recently garnered a lot of attention for its food culture, how do you feel about the attention?
Lima is a magical city where people love to eat and cook. I'm proud that our little secret is out and everyone is excited about what we have to offer. Peru is centrally located, making so many resources available to us chefs – the Pacific Ocean, mountains, amazon and more than 90 microclimates – it makes for a very expansive culinary pantry.
Chef's Club is a restaurant from Food & Wine magazine in New York City's NoLita neighborhood where signature dishes by the world's greatest chef's are featured on a seasonal menu. The innovative concept is a one-of-a-kind culinary experience curated by Food & Wine Creative Director Dana Cowin and Culinary Director Didier Elena. Other chefs featured include Alex Guarnaschelli, Alex Stupak, Christina Tosi, Daniel Boulud, Jacques Torres, Jeremy Fox, Kristen Kish, Marcus Samuelsson, Matt Aita, and Ori Menashe.

Angry, ashamed Brazilians brace for World Cup
A Brazilian joke has made its way across the web in the form of a Facebook invite: the grand opening of the new high-speed train between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo. "A big party! Open Bar!"
So far, 182,000 people have RSVP'd yes; it's a guest list long enough to make any host nervous. But there will be no opening, because, well, there is no train.
This, of course, despite President Dilma Rousseff's pledge to launch the rail line in time for this week's FIFA World Cup. The broken promise is just one of a long list of guarantees Brazil has breached since the government won the global bid to host the games.
"We are ashamed, you know?" says Isabella Maciel de Sá, a self-described lifelong soccer fan and the country legal head of Novartis Biociencias. Maciel De Sa, who treasures her photos with Brazil's legendary soccer star Pele and the jersey he signed, is among a growing number of citizens who craved the spotlight for their developing country and now recoil from the world's attention.
"When Brazil was selected, everybody was very happy," she says. "Not only because we were hosting the competition, but because we all believed that the government would finally invest in the needed Infrastructure: roads, airports, energy, and telecommunication. Unfortunately it was not the case."
Brazil grapples with an 85% urban population that pulls hard on its existing services. Untrained and uneducated Brazilians seeking work have found rampant unemployment and crushing poverty instead. The UN's International Fund for Agricultural Development states the situation is perilous: 35% of Brazilians live on less than two dollars a day; in the rural areas, that figure jumps to nearly 50%.
"What could have been a great opportunity to show the world the importance of soccer in the country, as well as to upgrade significantly the 12 host cities [has become] an enormous embarrassment to us serious Brazilian people," says Maciel De Sa. She points to the "huge amount of money" the government spent building stadiums in cities that don't even have a soccer team," as signs of the waste and corruption that have accompanied the more than $3 billion poured into Brazil's World Cup prep. Even Pele has weighed in, calling Brazil's allocation of its resources a "disgrace."
Brazil had seven years to prepare for the millions of visitors descending on its cities and stadiums–the longest planning period of any host country in World Cup history. The government intended to use its positions as this year's host, and later as the 2016 Olympic host, to catalyze new infrastructure projects. It also vowed to complete older, stalled initiatives, like mass transit improvements.
The South American powerhouse, the continent's biggest and most diversified economy (and the sixth largest in the world), enticed domestic and international investors.
2014 was supposed to be Brazil's banner year.Instead, the media is flooded with daily reports of bus driver, teacher, and police strikes; sporadic rioting; open pit construction sites where finished facilities should be; abominable schools; poor healthcare; unmanageable crime; the plight of homeless workers; the list goes on.
If public corruption watchdog AMARRIBO Brasil has its way, the government scandals will soon see the light of day. Despite the exceptionally long run-up to the World Cup, Brazil has used "urgency as an excuse to do things in a certain way," contends Josmar Verillo, AMARRIBO Brasil chairman and former president of Alcoa Latin America. "The public sector in Brazil is gigantic, filled with political appointees, inefficient, corrupt and disorganized. So certainly, time will show all sorts of misuse of public money in this event."
The popular Brazilian muralist Paulo Ito, 36, doesn't need corruption trials to validate his rage at the government's "values and priorities" in his latest work: a starving dark-skinned child seated at a table, knife and fork in hand, with a plate filled by a brand new soccer ball.
"I always paint critical works," says Ito, who adds that there is no shortage of material in his home city of Sao Paolo. "Everything spurs me, because everything works bad in Brazil. You will find this taking a bus, with violence…watching the night journal [the day's news] on T.V." Ito's soccer plate image went viral, and it raises a critical question: just how did Brazil become mired in what appears to be a very flawed approach to economic development?
Verillo is disgusted with the government's expediency in winning short-term favor from the poor through placating public payments designed to give low-income Brazilians purchasing power and boost consumption. "Without designing a way out of poverty for these people, they became happy for a period," Verillo says. "The bill will arrive soon, and the Brazilian society will pay a very high price for that.
As the public began to examine government spending on sports arenas, they moved to the streets. By this time last summer, Brazilians staged the largest protest in a generation, faulting the government for deficiencies cutting across every aspect of Brazilian society. Ito, who rallied in Sao Paolo, was among a million other mostly middle-class Brazilians demonstrating in the country's big cities, calling for improvements to public services and condemning government corruption and police brutality.
Gallup's summer 2013 survey data captured record low satisfaction with Brazil's healthcare, schools, and transportation, and a rise in citizens' unease about their own personal security and government corruption. That survey was conducted before the anger and resentment reached a feverish pitch this year.
The government's mistakes may put Brazil in a precarious position to finance future projects and economic development. Using statistical indicators and a survey of 4,300 executives worldwide, the 2014 World Competitiveness Yearbook pushed Brazil down a few notches, from 51 to 54, pointing to sloppiness in its labor market and widespread business mismanagement. To Verillo, the country's corruption "is generalized…even institutionalized," and no sector is spared.
Alejandro Salas, Transparency International's director for the Americas, contends that there are plenty of honest investors and civil servants, but the scope of Brazil's development to-do list makes it more vulnerable. No stranger to scandal, Brazil's anti-corruption laws are relatively new and evolving. The nation is big enough that what is demanded on the federal level isn't always practiced on the local level. "More money also brings those private and public actors that want to make a quick win regardless of the legality of the business." Salas ticks off a list of things that "create a fertile environment to exploit weak anti-corruption frameworks and capacity" — they include money flow, tight deadlines to build stadiums or transport infrastructure, and "politicians [who] need financing and … to show and impress voters."
These issues are far from unique, cautions Salas. "You cannot expect a country with general corruption problems to be able to execute such a massive project without any form of misuse of public funds. The anti-corruption framework matters and Brazil needs to strengthen it."
Consider Petrobas, Brazil's mega-energy concern, now under fire as more allegations surface that the oil company laundered huge sums of money when it overpaid for an oil refinery and pocketed funds stashed in offshore bank accounts. Police raided Petrobas headquarters earlier this spring.Kyra Gurney of InSight Crime, a Medellin, Colombia-based investigative unit that focuses on organized crime throughout Latin America, highlights a theme that has plagued the nation's World Cup preparations as well. "The sheer size of the company, as well as the vast sums of money it handles, can create space for criminal opportunists."
Stumbles are part of Brazil's awkward advance, asserts Nancy Birdsall, president of the Center for Global Development and former executive vice president at the Inter-American Development Bank. "It's hard to be a middle-income country that's reaching" to be a first world economy…. "When you reach higher, you get there, maybe with a little delay."
"They have so much difficulty spending public money well," and the nation's infrastructure has "always been Brazil's Achilles heel. That's very obvious now, [with] the World Cup and the Olympic games coming."
Birdsall argues that Brazil's long-term prospects are strong. But Verillo is not convinced. Yes, Brazil's vast natural resources will attract investments, he says, "but if the investment is not made in education, health, in a serious way, Brazil will keep sliding sideways, and poverty and inequality will remain the trademarks of Brazil in the years ahead."
For soccer-proud Brazil, the focus is on the short term. It is the only country in the world that has qualified to play in every World Cup, and it is a five-time champion of the tournament — a world record.
"It is a nation on cleats, overcoming all its problems, hard times, lack of security, education, jobs, infrastructure and showing to the world that our will is greater than anything else," says Maciel de Sa. "It is like it's written on the inside of our official jersey: 'Born to play soccer.'"
Aside from its soccer prowess, Brazil is now also known for its infrastructure problems, and the government is hard-pressed to welcome many millions of visitors. None of this has put a damper on the sales of 3.8 million tickets (2.3 million have been reserved for domestic purchasers, the rest for international fans).
Overcoming the squandered opportunities and the reputational damage will be tough, says Maciel De Sa. "For the first time, I feel ashamed for cheering for my national soccer team. Not because of the team, but because we elected a president and a government that could not deliver the promises they made to the people, to FIFA, and to the world."
Maciel De Sa is hopeful, though. "Most of all, I hope that in October, when we will have elections for president, governors, state, and federal congresses, we can give the fair payback for those who made us so embarrassed."
"Some of us, including me, will not cheer for Brazil because we are sure that if Brazil wins, Dilma [Rousseff] will be re-elected in October."

Father John Misty - 'Fear Fun'
Having officially taken leave of his drumming duties in Fleet Foxes at the start of 2012, and with a host of solo albums as J Tillman packing out his suede knapsack, Josh Tillman has decided to start afresh. Casting himself as Father John Misty, a Laurel Canyon transplant equally repelled and fascinated by the self-centred sprawl of LA, his 'Fear Fun' is a country-leaning, wise-cracking masterwork. A droll riposte to those who think post-millennial folk music is po-faced, check out the urban hillbilly hustle of 'Writing A Novel' for lyrics loaded with offhand wit. 'Only Son Of The Ladiesman' sees undulating melodies circle around beautiful, balls-out harmonies and in 'Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings' – a track far darker and more brusquely electric than anything else here – he's also got a serious contender for song of the year. A striking funereal stomp, considering its bleak subject matter, it really shouldn't be quite as sensationally sexy as it is.

My outift is nothing special, but I had to take a picture because of the awesome shoes. I wore this outfit to a Jimmy Choo preview (will be blogged about on Monday), so thought that I'd make an extra effort when it came to shoes.
My dress is from Camden Market and my top is Dorothy Perkins. My shoes are from a store called Priceless and were only £17!!! They did look so amazing. I've never owned real statement shoes before, so I loved walking around in these.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Tuesday lowered United Parcel Service Inc.'s UPS, -1.39% long-term rating outlook to negative from stable and affirmed its AA- rating. "The ratings assume that UPS' focus on improving yields, cutting costs, and a gradual recovery in market conditions, combined with management's commitment to restoring credit metrics, will enable the company to generate FFO to total debt of at least 40% over the next 18 to 24 months," said Christopher DeNicolo, an S&P credit analyst. However, the ratings agency warned that it may downgrade its ratings if the parcel delivery company fails to meet this criteria over the next couple of years.

Water & Drought
Oroville Dam ready to withstand winter rains as first phase of repairs is finished, officials say
Oroville Dam spillway is ready for rainy season
The Oroville Dam flood control spillway has been fixed.
Eight and a half months after the gravest emergency in the dam's history forced 188,000 residents to flee, state officials said Wednesday that Oroville's structures have been largely rebuilt and can withstand a rainy Northern California winter. A second phase of work will be completed next year.
"Lake Oroville's main spillway is indeed ready to safely handle winter flows if needed," said Grant Davis, director of the Department of Water Resources, in a conference call with reporters.
Noting that a heavy storm could hit the watershed as early as Thursday, the DWR director spoke directly to the downstream residents who had to evacuate in February and remain mistrustful of the state's operation of Oroville: "You indeed had a terrifying experience and we are working hard to ensure it never happens again."
Davis outlined further steps to strengthen Oroville and other dams around the state. California officials will undertake a broad "needs assessment" of Oroville, the tallest dam in America, with an eye toward possibly building a second gated spillway to increase redundancy, along with other potential improvements.
In addition, Davis said "repairs and updates" are already being made at some of the 93 other dams around California where the state ordered intensive inspections in the wake of the Oroville crisis. He had no details on the repairs.
As a practical matter, state officials won't be able to test the work done at Oroville until lake levels rise and the spillway has to release water. For the time being the reservoir is being kept at a lower level than usual as a safety precaution. Nonetheless, DWR officials said they're certain the spillway can handle a release of 100,000 cubic feet of water per second – nearly twice as much as what was being released when the spillway cracked in February. The spillway has never released more than 160,000 CFS.
"We've done hydraulic modeling and physical modeling," said Joel Ledesma, deputy director of the State Water Project. "Those have shown it's capable of those flows and a little bit higher."
Jeff Petersen, project manager for general contractor Kiewit Corp., said some construction will continue through the winter but the 700-person workforce is starting to dial back its hours. Reconstruction work will resume in earnest sometime next spring.
Kiewit won a $275 million contract to rebuild the main spillway and the adjacent emergency spillway, but DWR officials revealed two weeks ago that Kiewit's costs are likely to rise to $500 million. On Wednesday, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said the $500 million estimate is "a ballpark figure" and the final tally is likely to rise. Adding to the final cost will be the expense of moving some power transmission lines, dredging the river channel below the dam and other functions.
The costs have risen in large part because the bedrock beneath the main spillway wasn't nearly as strong at critical points as originally believed. That required Kiewit to excavate deeper into the bedrock and lay hundreds of thousands of additional cubic yards of concrete. A similar problem sprang up at the adjacent emergency spillway.
While reconstruction costs have soared, state officials note that the cost of responding to the original emergency at Oroville came in about $100 million below expectations. The state expects the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reimburse up to 75 percent of its costs; the water agencies that store water behind the dam will pick up the balance.
Oroville Dam's crisis began when a giant crack appeared in the main spillway Feb. 7, as water was being released during a week of heavy rains. Dam operators curtailed water releases in an effort to limit the damage to the spillway. That allowed Lake Oroville to fill to its highest level ever, and water began pouring over the emergency spillway – a concrete lip crowning an unlined hillside – for the first time since the dam opened in 1968. A day later, when the hillside began eroding dangerously close to the lip, authorities ordered the immediate evacuation of 188,000 downstream residents amid fears that the spillway would crumble and unleash a "wall of water."
Dam operators then ramped up water releases from the main spillway dramatically. The lake level dropped, water stopped flowing over the emergency spillway, and the erosion on the hillside was arrested. But weeks of high-volume water releases left the main spillway almost a complete wreck, with two enormous "scour holes" along its 3,000-foot-long concrete chute.
The first phase of work, which was declared completed Wednesday, consisted of rebuilding two lengthy stretches of the main spillway with erosion-resistant concrete slabs anchored to the underlying bedrock. A third stretch was filled in with less-durable "roller compacted concrete" while a fourth section, at the top of the spillway, was patched.
Phase 2, to begin next spring, will involve rebuilding the top of the spillway from scratch and installing a layer of finished slabs over the section that so far has been filled in with the roller concrete. Next year Kiewit will also complete a fortification of the emergency spillway, which includes lining the top 700 feet of the hillside with concrete and building an underground vertical wall into the bedrock. The wall is designed to halt erosion.
The cause of the original crack in the main spillway is still being investigated, but a forensic team commissioned by DWR has said it believes the problem was the result of long-standing but undetected cracks in the concrete, uneven thickness in the slabs and a faulty drainage system beneath the chute. The drainage flaws allowed water to collect beneath the spillway and gradually weaken the structure. When water was released down the spillway Feb. 7, the heavy flow apparently exploited weaknesses in the concrete and caused one section to lift up, opening up a crater. The forensic team said it isn't sure why the spillway failed in February after withstanding much heavier flows of water during its history.
Although the forensic investigation won't be completed until mid-November, Kiewit officials have said they've incorporated suggestions made by the investigators into the reconstruction work. A better drainage system has been installed, and the concrete is stronger, Kiewit said.

Although there are quite possibly hundreds of causes why your Salt Lake City home's furnace or heating system may need to be repaired. Listed below are the top five issues that may cause your furnace or heating equipment to break down: 1. Thermostat breaks causing no heat, fan spinning or comfort problems 2. Air passage problems from fan motors, belts and bearings, causing furnace overheating or poor heating control3. Dirty or clogged filters that cause airflow and comfort problems4. Problem with the furnace ignition or pilot light, resulting in sporadic or no heat5. Lack of maintenance may cause unanticipated breakdowns, poor comfort or increased energy costs (plus a lot of homeowner frustration!) Each of these common issues can be addressed by a professionally qualified, NATE-certified technician. Technicians from Mountainwest Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can quickly spot the problem area and make the needed repairs. Getting a precision tune-up or maintenance plan could prevent almost all heating problems that leave you with no heat or low comfort levels.

In terms of operational practice as distinct from political rhetoric, institutionalized security policy in the United States is based on two presumptions: that imperial aggression is the principal form of threat and that the countervailing threat of deterrent retaliation is the most decisive method of protection. This formulation was established during the Cold War and has been retained in its aftermath. Because no country can plausibly threaten immediate imperial aggression against U.S. territory, the formulation is now justified as a hedge against the rise of an unnamed peer competitor. For many other countries, however, the United States itself is the most credible potential embodiment of such a threat.

Oliver's Story
This handsome boy is Oliver, the love of my life. He is a Maltese/Shih Tzu who will be 17 on July 22nd, 2016. Happy Birthday to my boy! Oliver's first visit to the Veterinary Medical Center of CNY was in July 2004 with corneal ulceration and corneal edema of the right eye. We were referred to Doctor Burgesser who began treating Oliver for dry eye with ophthalmic drops. Doctor Burgesser continued to be his Ophthalmologist until his retirement from VMC in January 2016.
Oliver started having back issues the beginning of 2012. His veterinarian, Doctor Stokes-Cowley at Lyncourt Veterinary Hospital took radiographs and diagnosed the beginning of disk disease. He was given NSAID, pain and antispasmodic medication. Oliver was also seen at VMC in 2012 and 2013 for recurrent episodes.
In November 2013 when the spasms became severe, he was seen by Doctor Fleckenstein, who diagnosed Oliver with Intervertebral Disc Disease. After her assessment , Doctor Fleckenstein prescribed laser acupuncture along with medication and supplements. I was also given exercises for Oliver at home. Without her present regimen, I do not believe Oliver's quality of life would be what it is now. Thank you to Doctor Fleckenstein and Sue for the love and treats you spoil Oliver with.
Thank you, VMC staff!

Mother's Day Gifts
Print Your Own Stationery
By June Masters Bacher
Design your own original animal stationery. First, choose any kind of white paper you want to use. You will also need a felt-tip pen and an ink pad. Your fingers are the printing press! Since there are no identical fingerprints, your design will be original. The next thing to do is to decide where you want you animal print to be on the paper.
Place your thumb or finger on the ink pad and press hard. Quickly lay the inked thumb on paper and press hard, rolling just a little from left to right without smudging. Then lift your hand quickly so the ink will not smear. Ink your thumb on the pad before making each print. Practice a few times on scrap paper to get the desired shape before printing on the actual stationery.
Outline the print with a fine felt-tip pen and draw in features such as eyes, legs, or ears. Add a little environment such as bubbles for a fish or limbs for a bird (see illustrations).
Inexpensive white envelopes can also be decorated to match stationery. But remember to always put the design on the left to save the right side of the envelope for the name and address.

POST: 'Blue Man Group' - excuse me while I just.....*bang drums like crazy*
What's it about?
The modern day version of The Three Stooges, except they're blue and don't speak.
What'd I experience?
My sister has been telling me to see Blue Man Group for God knows how long now, so I decided to go check it out. On the way there, we decided to take the train together, and she gave me a bit of insight into what was going to happen. I remember her mentioning how the first couple of rows get ponchos, and I laughed because I didn't want to watch a show in a poncho.
Fast forward to me sitting in my seat, and can you guess where I was seated? If you guessed the first couple of rows with the ponchos, you were right. I should have known when I got my ticket, but for some reason I read it as P.O.N.C.H.O. (what could that even stand for?) instead of the whole word, poncho. Silly me. At first, I was dreading having it on, but then, I realized that I would experience more of the show. That I was special. Or maybe I just kept telling myself that.
Before the show started, I noticed a tiny screen that kept circulating the same sentences over and over again. I don't know why I kept rereading it, maybe it was the bright red color of the words that caught my eye, but I did. It got a bit annoying, but then, the show began to start. Nope. They decided to do a few announcements on a similar screen, and the woman in front of me kept reading it out loud. I was just counting the minutes till it was over, and the gif underneath is exactly what I wanted to do to that screen.
The show finally started and the blue men opened with drums. They brought out the paint, and my excitement shot back up. Drums plus splattering paint equals one good time. I thought it was super cool, and the colors looked really vibrant. It was pretty awesome. I wanted to drum a bit to be honest. I imagined myself jumping on stage and just banging the drums a bit, watching the paint splatter and seeing myself covered in paint. Um guys. Excuse me while I just.....*bang drums like crazy*
In their next act, they did a painting through what I think was gumballs. One person threw the gumballs at the other two other members. One of the men was able to create a spiral painting, which looked pretty trippy. The other kept catching gumballs and created a tower. In. His. Mouth. They gave away both, and when I saw them put the tower in a woman's bag, I was so glad it wasn't me. I wouldn't have been laughing. That was cool and all, but totally gross on so many levels.
One of the only other times I was a bit annoyed was the Cap N' Crunch scene. Cap N' Crunch is one of my favorite cereals, especially the one with the berries. They were being silly, and one of them even put a handful on his face. It was really cute, but when they brought out the iPhone prop and used an app to amplify their crunching, I was not having it. My seat was way too close to the speakers, and I would cringe each time they crunched.
They did, however, do a lot of audience participation, which I loved. A part of me wished I got picked, but I sat by the wall. It wasn't going to happen, and I was honestly kind of glad because the people they picked were perfect. My favorite audience member participation scene had to do with the Twinkies. They picked an old woman who was just so adorable. I couldn't handle it. She tried so hard to copy the blue men but laughed seconds later. It was so cute.
That cuteness was quickly followed by being splatted with what seemed to be Twinkie bits, but turned out to be some sort of mush that smelled like bananas. Luckily, only a bit landed on my lap and the top of my poncho. Thank you poncho. Friendly advice, wear your least favorite outfit, just in case. I felt like I was taken back in time...
They even had a rock concert. Drums. Strobe lights. Streamers. A screen that taught you some dance moves. Could it get any better? I was definitely raising the roof. I felt like I was transported into the concert world, and I was lovin' it. The music. The dancing. The combination of theater and music. Now that was pure bliss.
I began to notice something small throughout the show, and I honestly kept my eye out for it. At times, the blue men would break character. It happened fast, for just a few seconds, but they would smile at each other or at the audience. And I can't say that I wasn't secretly wishing they would do that. I didn't expect it, but it was refreshing to see that in all of the seriousness, there were still things that made them so happy they smiled. I honestly couldn't do that myself. Serious Mona? I find the word serious funny, so not a chance. During unexpected or cute moments, they would smile, which made me cheese pretty hard. I have to say that those moments were my favorite part of the entire show.
That and the fact that they were blue men. They were different, unique even, and reminded me so much of the dance crew the Jabbawockeez. Their concept is that it's a performance as a whole and not as individuals resonates with me. Jess Nguyen, a member of the Jabbawockeez said it best. He said, "Our philosophy is that when you watch us perform, you have to watch us as a whole…When we put [the masks] on, it's not about who we are or where we came from. We're all one."

Trade in cap-and-trade for real climate solutions
California's cap-and-trade program is in peril – but that's a good thing.
The centerpiece of the state's global climate change policy is plagued by challenges to its very legality, along with a glut of emissions allowances that continues to grow because polluters aren't buying them.
This precariousness gives leaders an opportunity to stop wasting time and resources on an approach that does little to curb greenhouse gases – but does much to entrench pollution by protecting industries' imaginary "right" to emit greenhouse gases by insidiously turning those emissions into revenue streams.
It's time to replace cap-and-trade with the type of time-tested command-and-control regulations that can eliminate the emissions that threaten our survival.
The state's latest greenhouse gas inventory shows that emissions are down from their 2004 peak, but there isn't good evidence to prove that cap-and-trade is having any positive impact on current trends. Further, the state's past experience indicates that cap-and-trade will only hinder efforts to avert climate catastrophe.
In the 1990s, Los Angeles' Rule 1610 allowed oil refineries to purchase Volatile Organic Compound credits from scrap-yard operators that removed older, highly polluting cars from roads. The program failed as scrap yards removed the engines from vehicles before demolishing them, then sold the engines and the emission credits. Refineries continued to pump those compounds and many other co-pollutants, including the carcinogen benzene, into the surrounding communities of color.
That same decade, Los Angeles introduced the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market, or RECLAIM, to try to reduce smog. Regulatory approaches in effect at the time had dramatically reduced many smog-related pollutants but stopped abruptly with the implementation of the new market system. Emissions actually increased the first two years of RECLAIM, with only minor reductions in subsequent years before the ineffective program was scrapped in 2001.
Rule 1610 and RECLAIM lost the state a decade on making any significant inroads on L.A.'s air problems. With cap-and-trade, we're repeating that mistake: accommodating polluters that don't want to reduce their emissions at the expense of achieving significant, permanent reductions.
One of the most troubling aspects of California's cap-and-trade program is the use of offsets in lieu of source reductions. This mechanism allows emitters to keep polluting with impunity as long as they pay for "offsets" that ostensibly reduce emissions elsewhere in California – or in other states.
Alarmingly, the Air Resources Board continues to consider an ill-advised and poorly timed expansion of cap-and-trade to include international offsets under a controversial United Nations program to reduce emissions from tropical deforestation – while pollution continues in California communities.
In contrast to the failure of these market-based schemes is the relative success of simple, faithfully enforced regulatory approaches. The 40-year-old Clean Air Act lays out a clear path to clean air that requires each polluter to meet its own technologically achievable level of emissions. As technology improves, those emissions limits are ratcheted down. When sources violate their limits, they are fined and forced into compliance. The result: reduced emissions, healthier and safer communities and – in the case of greenhouse gas emissions – a chance at protecting the planet's ability to support our species.
This is no time for Gov. Jerry Brown, legislators and even cap-and-trade's supporters in the nonprofit sector to try to save face. The urgent need to implement effective solutions to climate change demands that leaders and advocates resist clinging to the sinking ship of market-based approaches.
It's beyond time to stop protecting polluters: ensuring a livable future on this planet means regulating away greenhouse gas emissions and leaving fossil fuels in the ground, while simultaneously investing in the robust, renewable energy economy we already have the technology to realize.

The youngest prominent member of The Society in over in a decade, Annie Wallace had fought hard to get where she was and she had plenty to show for it. A gorgeous new home, two beautiful slave girls, proof that her training methods worked and a handsome Irish partner and Master of her own that could make her go weak in the knees with a simple look. Fears caused by a dark event in her past had prevented her from letting go and submitting until she met Sean. Then, just as she was learning to balance her work and position as an Owner with serving him, her past returned. They had waited a long time, and now they would finally have their revenge on her for sticking her nose where it didn't belong years earlier. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
Lillian Nightshade is a wonderful author, be forewarned however that her books are written with no avoidance of triggers or consent. This isn't necessarily a bad thing… it is just something readers definitely need to be aware of. This series – The Society, is set in a world where consent is limited, sadism and masochism are the norm, and dominance and submission are integral.
In this fourth book, Annie our protagonist sets up her new home before being kidnapped and forced to live being abused and believing she would never see her friends and family again. Sean, who we met in the previous book as a submissive, now Annie's dominant and her brother Devon spend the book rescuing Annie. You can feel the characters' feelings as the story progresses on a palpable level. This world is designed to pull you in and keep you turning the pages. Devon and Sean are at each other's throats from their meeting in their different angles of loving Annie.
I love the power of the strength of character in these stories. This world is fascinating, heart pounding, and nerve racking. As a rape survivor who lives in the BDSM world I desire to live above the kind of fear that rose in me during many of this books scenes. Vanished, and this series, is written very well, and I look forward to the next book in this series – knowing the effect of triggers shown in this novel I may hesitate to reach for this kind without my comfort items on me and with my phone nearby to contact a friend should I need it.

How is Grand Duchess Maria Related to Other Royal Families?
Europe's royal families, including Russia's, are related to each other in multiple ways.
Grand Duchess Maria's grandmother was a member of the British Royal Family. She was Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh, Princess of Great Britain and Ireland, who married Grand Duke Kirill. At her birth, Princess Victoria Melita was 10th in line to the British throne. She was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria; a daughter of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh; and a first cousin of King George V.
Grand Duchess Maria's father, Grand Duke Wladimir, was at his birth 20th in line to the British throne. He was a second cousin of two English monarchs: King George VI (father of Queen Elizabeth II) and King Edward VIII (later the Duke of Windsor).
Grand Duchess Maria's son and heir, Grand Duke George of Russia, is a descendant of Queen Victoria both through his mother (from Queen Victoria's second son, Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh) and through his father (from Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Victoria, the Princess Royal).
Other European royal families
The names of various cousins of Grand Duke Wladimir and Grand Duchess Maria illustrate the extent to which royal families used to intermarry.
Grand Duke Wladimir's first cousins included Marina, Duchess of Kent; Queen Marie of Yugoslavia; King Carol II of Romania; Queen Elizabeth of Greece; and Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark (consort of Prince Paul, Regent of Yugoslavia).
Grand Duke Wladimir's second cousins included (in addition to King George VI and King Edward VIII of Great Britain, mentioned above) the Tsesarevich Alexei of Russia; Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia; King Olav V of Norway; Infante Juan of Spain, Count of Barcelona (father of King Juan Carlos); Kings George II, Alexander and Paul of Greece; Earl Mountbatten of Burma (Lord Louis Mountbatten); Queen Ingrid of Denmark; Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Germany; Queen Helen of Romania; Queen Louise of Sweden; Princess Andrew of Greece (mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and grandmother of the Prince of Wales); and Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden (father of the present King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf).
Grand Duchess Maria's second cousins include King Peter II of Yugoslavia; King Michael of Romania; Edward, Duke of Kent; and Prince Michael of Kent.

Upon Reflection, I was Wrong.
When I was a young enthusiastic practitioner I really wanted to believe that people would understand and appreciate the practical, financial and social value of building and rebuilding walkable places. In those pre-PowerPoint days I logged a lot of hours with the dual slide carousel presentation thinking that if folks could just understand, then they would want to take action and build good places. (--Or at a minimum they would be less fearful and stubborn in their opposition to letting me build good places).
These days I think the essential task for urbanists is recovering and building trust. Trust in planners, architects, and builders had been broken long before before we showed up for some very understandable reason. We need to cobble together what often turns out to be a conditional suspension of hostilities and turf fights. We need to hold it together long enough to frame some good choices and build some trust, before we can build anything else. The last thing I wanted to be worried about as an urban designer, developer, or builder were other people's feelings. (Now that's half the job). I kinda wish I was a nicer person, maybe I'd be better at this.
Civilization is hard. People get fearful and suspicious on their best day if someone is pushing to do things differently. There are plenty of reasons to distrust developers, builders, planners, Architects, Engineers, or any other profession involved in the built environment. In planning or building, attention to scale is important in building trust and providing folks with the tools to make their town better with the resources at hand. It's hard for people to trust something big and complicated that turns into that perverse pairing of "It's too soon to tell" + "Well, it's too late to do anything about it..."

A long-awaited post for a beautiful family in a beautiful location - can you believe all of these photos were taken in one relatively small back yard?!?! It was the yard that really had a bit of everything! And we didn't even use the gazebo or the patio! Not just a great location but three great kids - we had fun running around and climbing on things - all in the beautiful afternoon sun. I'm loving the light and the shadows (especially that little hand's shadow on the shed!). Thanks Jennifer and Andrew - and Michael, Emma and Elizabeth - I hope you enjoyed your ice cream after our session!p.s. Elizabeth has the best curls ever!!!

5.3 Value Steam Map
GoCD has a very strong modelling capability in terms of parallel-serial-parallel-serial (pipeline-stage-job-task) division of work. It supports multiple SCM / pipeline dependencies & allows fetching of artifacts from ancestor pipelines.
GoCD has good visualisation of things from pipeline level, i.e. everything from pipeline level is well organised for information consumption.
- pipeline history page, stage history widget (on stage details page) & job history widget (on job details page) gives good snapshot of history
- what revisions of each direct upstream SCM / pipeline dependency did the pipeline run with (materials tab)
- which stage ran after which one (stage details), how much time did the each stage take (stage graph)
- which jobs ran on which agent, how much time did each job take, status of job (jobs tab in stage details)
- what was the setup that each task ran under i.e. OS, environment variables etc. & what was the output of each task (console.log)
But there was need for visualisation at work-flow level, i.e. we needed a visual way to answer following questions:
- what is the setup / how does a commit flow to reach production
- where in downstream is your commit currently?
- which revision of ancestor upstream pipeline / SCM did the current pipeline run with
To solve this problem we had to come up with a visualisation where the whole work-flow of current pipeline (upstream & downstream) could be layed out as a graph.
5.3.1 Overview
When we set out to implement the feature we faced quiet a few challenges:
Deterministic vs Randomised Algorithm:
The algorithm had to be deterministic i.e. given a particular input, it should always produce the same output. This would keep the layout same when user would refresh VSM page. It would also keep the nodes at same position until there is change in configuration making it intuitive for human eye to search for a node.
The algorithm had to run in polynomial time since it would be run frequently (every VSM page load). It should be fast enough that we could put a auto-refresh if we wanted to at some point of time.
The algorithm had to be scalable & reusable so that we could use it to display the whole of config as a Pipeline Dependency Graph (PDG).
The algorithm should facilitate showing each dependency as separate line, i.e. not merge dependencies into one line so that we could show artifact being fetched from different pipeline separately. But it should minimise edge crossings so as to improve readability / visual appeal.
Graph Representation & Instance Data population
To be able to implement the algorithm we needed to have Graph representation of whole upstream & downstream flow with respect to current pipeline. Building the graph for VSM is more tricky than it first seems like.
When you are building upstream graph you need to consider the build-cause that is stored in database for current pipeline & recursively traverse upstream build-causes to generate the whole upstream graph.
While for building downstream graph we need to see the config to see all pipelines that get triggered off of current pipeline & recurse downstream till we build the whole downstream graph.
Pipeline instances of upstream pipelines & SCM revisions are got during traversal of build cause, the pipeline instances of downstream pipelines are not directly available in any form. So we query for each pipeline instance we know (starting from current pipeline) - instances of downstream pipeline that ran off of current instance. Once we know the pipeline instances we populate stage information for pipeline instances.
5.3.2 Algorithm
The Pipeline dependency graph is essentially a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This would mean any algorithm for laying out DAGs would work.
We decided to implement Sugiyama Algorithm for this. The algorithm goes about laying out the graph in 4 steps:
Layer Assignment
We assign a layer to every node in graph. Layers are assigned left to right increasing layer number by one for every layer. Ex:
For the above graph, A would be assigned layer 0, B & C would be assigned layer 1, D would be assigned layer 2 & E would be assigned layer 3.
One possible approach is to do a DFS without tracking which nodes are visited already so as trace all possible paths. Tracing all paths is essential in this approach since the child node should be further than any of its parent node so as to avoid back edges. In the above graph E should be assigned layer 3 & not 2 as suggested by B ->E. This would be possible by tracing C ->D ->E. But total number of paths increase combinatorially with increasing number of nodes / edges.
The trick is to do a topological sort of nodes & then loop through the list assigning layer to all child nodes of current node. This would ensure each node is ahead of all its parent nodes since all the parent nodes would be assigned a layer before itself ensuring the current node is assigned a layer ahead of all its parent nodes.
all_nodes = get all nodes
topological sort(all_nodes)
for each node in all_nodes
if (node.layer == null)
node.layer = 1
for each child in node.child_nodes
if (child.layer == null || child.layer < node.layer + 1)
child.layer = node.layer + 1
# move root nodes closer to its children to avoid long edges
root_nodes = get all root nodes
for each root_node in root_nodes
root_node.layer = minimum_layer_of_all_children(root_node) - 1
Dummy Node Creation
In the above graph the edge B ->E spans across 2 layers. We need to avoid edges that cut across multiple layers. This would help us reduce edge crossings (explained in next section). To avoid having edges across layers we introduce one dummy nodes in every layer between source & destination node. So in the above graph we insert a dummy node X between B ->E making it B -> X ->E
root_nodes = get all root nodes
visited = new set
for each root in root_nodes
create_dummy_nodes(root, visited)
if (visited.contains(node))
for each child in root.child_nodes
if (child.layer > node.layer + 1)
dummy_node.layer = node.layer + 1
node.child = dummy_node
dummy_node.child = child
Edge Cross Minimization
We used BaryCenter algorithm to minimise edge crossings. We initialise all nodes with a depth by traversing the graph in DFS fashion & assigning max. depth of layer the node belongs to at that point of time. Then algorithm traverses the graph layer by layer left to right assigning avg. depth of parents to node & then traverses right to left assigning avg. depth of children to node.
root_nodes = get all root nodes
visited = new set
for each root_node in root_nodes
node.depth = max_depth_for_layer(root_node.layer) + 1
initialise_depth(node, visited)
nodes_at_each_layer = get all nodes arranged by layer
for each nodes_at_layer in nodes_at_each_layer
barycenter(nodes_at_layer, left-to-right)
for each nodes_at_layer in nodes_at_each_layer
barycenter(nodes_at_layer, right-to-left)
initialise_depth(node, visited)
if (visited.contains(node))
for each child in node.children
if (child.depth == null)
child.depth = max_depth_for_layer(child.layer) + 1
barycenter(nodes_at_layer, direction)
for each node in nodes_at_layer
# parents when left-to-right & children when right-to-left
adjacent_nodes_at_previous_layer = direction.getNodesAtPreviouslayer()
depth = 0;
for each adjacent_node in adjacent_nodes_at_previous_layer
depth = depth + adjacent_node.depth
# avg. depth of previous layer
node.depth = depth / adjacent_nodes_at_previous_layer.size()
Corner Cases
There is a corner case where a pipeline can be both an upstream pipeline & a downstream pipeline for a particular pipeline. This can happen due to change in config where A was upstream of B when B ran after which A became downstream of B. This causes a cycle in VSM of A and causes the VSM rendering algorithm to go into an infinite loop. To avoid this we had to put in a cycle detection check before rendering the VSM.
root_nodes = get all root nodes
visited = new set
for each root in root_nodes
current_path = new set
has_cycle(root, visited, current_path)
has_cycle(node, visited, current_path)
if (visited.contains(node))
if (current_path.contains(node))
throw new CyclicDependencyException()
for each child in node.child_nodes
has_cycle(child, visited, current_path))
Its possible that there are multiple instance of upstream / downstream pipeline for a pipeline. Ex:
| |
In the above setup B & C could have run off of different instances of A. Also there could be multiple instance of D which ran off different instances of B / C. These cases are handled by merging multiple instance of a pipeline into one box with a ..more.. link while the dependency link remaining the same. It could have happened that the different instances of pipeline had different material configuration. But this case is not handled.
The same remains the case with SCM. Ex:
It could have happened that A & B ran off of different revisions of G. We merge the revisions into one list & show it in SCM revisions popup.
In the setup some upstream / downstream pipeline could have been deleted or user might not have access to the pipeline. Which is shown as a grey box. Currently VSM only shows upstream & downstream of a pipeline instance, i.e. everything is wrt to a pipeline instance.
We could render VSM for a commit. This would be useful in a few scenarios. Ex: If the setup is like below.
| |
When you see VSM for A you will not see B while if you see VSM for B you will not see A. The only way to see both of them is to see VSM for C. But if we could show VSM for a commit then that VSM would contain both A & B that triggered off of that commit. Its more intuitive to trace your commit in this view.
The algorithm can be directly reused to lay the whole config. It would be useful to show the whole CI/CD setup of an organization. It would also be useful during pipeline creation. Ex: you can create a new pipeline by dragging & dropping dependencies into the new pipeline etc.

From Anti-GMO to pro-science: A Layman's Guide to GMOs
Knowing whom to trust on the touchy issue of GMOs (biotechnology) is a thorny issue—especially on the Internet, where tensions flare to a 100 with an absence of nuance and body language. Leaning on an authority is, of course, a shortcut. Who has the time these days to understand a field as diverse and comprehensive as biotechnology? Very few of us; in that light, it is a perfectly reasonable shortcut—provided one seeks out the correct authorities, that is.
That is why appeals to authority are the main weapon on both sides of the e-divide on GMOs. However, in many ways, many such arguments fall flat on their face as they exhibit fallacious reasoning (often called the argument from authority fallacy). The trick, of course, is finding an authority one can trust and that is right—no easy task.
What happens if one picks the wrong authority and psychologically ties oneself to a person expressing an argument, rather than to the evidence—doing just that is a quirky trait of human psychology. Over the past few years, this is the dilemma that I faced. The authorities I trusted in were wrong. Thus began the project that led to my book.
And don't forget my latest project: The Lowdown on GMOs: According to Science has been released as a free eBook featuring contributions from molecular biologists, plant pathologists, farmers, journalists, and authors on the what the evidence concerning GMO actually says. Go grab it.

I've been reading a lot of blogs from people who quote Pew Research this and Barna Group that. Quite frankly, people just quote these stats without even a second thought about the hermeneutics behind such "research." These thoughtless blogs are once again a proof of "lies, damn lies and statistics" being the trinity of modernistic deception. This way of blogging has been so hip that it's become pandemic.
The logic of such blogs usually goes one of the following two ways. They could say, "Oh, based on these statistics, America has become less Christian. Look how few people identify themselves as Christians." They could also say, "Based on these statistics, these many people who identify themselves as Christians also believe that ___ (fill in the blank: living together, being homosexual, drinking, premarital sex etc.) is okay. Look how Christian value has eroded." There you have it. The first basically says that the present statistics are accurate reflection of how many real Christians there are, and the number is declining. It also assumes that previous statistics are quite reliable with the greater number of real Christians. See? Assumption is everything. The second basically assumes that whatever ethical value being put in the blank is the key issue that divides what is a true versus a false Christian. Assumption again!
I wish to question all such assumption as being lacking in any sense in our everyday experience. I'll use my experience as an example. Where I grew up in the Southern part of the US, you can't kick a little pebble without hitting a baptist. In fact, I bet the Muslims there are also baptist. No, I'm kidding. If you were to ask anyone around where I live with a simplistic statistical questionnaire whether that person is Christian, Catholic, Jew, or Muslim (I'm using their common categories of course), you would find that most would say they're Christians and some would say that they're Catholic. In addition, aren't Catholics also Christian? Not according to the way these discussions are framed. I overheard one particular discussion that went something like this. Person number 1 says, "Are you Christian?" Person number 2 answers, "No, I'm Catholic." What the statistics in the past and often in the present do not tell us is that they frame such questions in such biased way that they would inevitably get a large percentage to be Christian. What being a "Christian" actually means does not matter.
For some, being Christian just means being white and middle class, while believing there's a god. I'm not joking. I've seen enough examples to tell you that this is true. And being white and middle class while believing in God is the cool thing to do in the past because that's the American way. There's no way to verify whether that person really is a Christian. The paradigm begins to shift however. Now, with the moral value of the society defining what is cool, being Christian may not be cool any longer.
Now, being a Christian could mean being a homophobe and a sexual prude. That is NOT cool. Since the Christians no longer project that cool value, less people now identify with being Christians than before. This is natural. To top off the problem is the Christian's own hermeneutics on the Bible as to what consists of "Christian value." This kind of value obviously shifts, from the prohibition of drinking to premarital sex to now homosexual lifestyle. What we haven't realized is that our main problem has not changed: our hermeneutics and ethics still suck. Only because more people were in agreement that drinking and drugs are usually not good for you, we were able to become more of a moral majority (I mean that, of course, sarcastically) in the past. Now, societal value can no longer accept "Christian value", less are willing to be identified as Christians. I suspect that the decline is over exaggerated. I suggest though that we have proclaimed something that has repulsed society. The real issue then is whether the repulsion we have caused is the right issue, the one that we're willing to die for. I mean, is not sleeping with your girlfriend before marriage really is the ethical defining line of Christianity?
You see? The first and the second set of logic are actually related. When the hermeneutics of scripture on which Christian value is based are framed a certain way, people either identify or not identify with it. At that point, people's identification with it shows whether that value is cool or not. Nothing in such assumptions have to do with truth. It is a popularity contest. It is a publicity disaster. When we use such assumptions, we only reinforce but not solve the problem.

The Kansas Jayhawks are a team that really can't afford to have any bad luck this time of the year. But unfortunately, a heaping dose of bad luck is exactly what the Jayhawks got on Sunday when their top two running backs went down with injuries. Brandon Bourbon tore his ACL, and Taylor Cox tore his Achilles' tendon; both are out for the 2014 season.
This is very bad news for a team that already has to find a way around a massive talent deficiency compared to the rest of the Big 12. The Jayhawks probably would have liked to rely on their running game this season as well, while they break in their new starting quarterback Montell Cozart.
Cozart won the starting job in the offseason (likely prompting former starter Jake Heaps' decision to transfer), but played very little as a freshman last year. In the little action he did see, Cozart completed only 23 of his 63 pass attempts (36.5 percent) for 227 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions.
Barring a major leap forward from the sophomore quarterback, the Jayhawks' offense could be ugly.
The bulk of the carries should fall to JUCO-transfer De'Andre Mann or true freshman Corey Avery. Either one could surprise and have a great season, but they were likely behind Bourbon and Cox for a reason and it's hard to imagine the Jayhawks having that kind of depth at running back.
The Jayhawks will need someone to step up though, or Charlie Weis might find himself on the hot seat at the end of this season.
