Dal Makhani is a popular dish from state of Punjab. Rich and hearty, dal makhani is a combination of whole urad (an Indian lentil)and red kidney beans. It goes well with naan (oven-baked flat bread) or tandoori roti (oven-baked whole wheat flat bread).
Serves 2 to3.
- 1/2 cup whole urad dal (available in Indian grocery stores)
- 1/8 cup red kidney beans (Rajma)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 minced green pepper or adjust to taste (Hari Mirch)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (Haldi)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon mango powder (Amchoor)
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 cup cream
- 2 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed (Jeera)
- Pinch of asafetida (Hing)
- 3 to 4 whole red chilies (Sabut Lal Mirch)
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder optional (Lal Mirch)
For garnish:
- 1/2 tablespoon shredded ginger
- Wash urad dal and kidney beans well. Soak the dal in six cups of water at least for eight hours. After soaking, dal will be about two and a half times the volume of the original.
- Place the dal in a pressure cooker with four cups of water. Add the salt, turmeric, ginger, and green chili.
- Set to cook over medium high heat. When it begins to steam, turn the heat down to medium. Cook 25 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Wait until steam has stopped
before opening the pressure cooker. The dal and kidney beans should be soft and tender.
- Lightly mash the kidney beans and dal. Cook for another five minutes on low-to-medium heat.
- Add cream, garam masala, and amchoor powder. Cook for ten minutes on low heat.
- Heat the ghee in a small
saucepan. Test the heat by
adding one cumin seed to the oil; if it cracks right away, the oil is ready. Add cumin seeds. When they crack, add the asafetida, red chilies, and red chili powder. Stir for a few seconds.
- Add cumin seeds, and as the cumin seeds crack add asafetida, red chilies and red chili powder and stir for a few seconds.
- Add one teaspoon of water to keep the spices from burning. Pour the spiced ghee over the dal.
- Garnish with shredded ginger.

Mom-Tested Potty Training Tips:
"We picked a weekend that we could stay home for and let him run around the house in just a t-shirt all day. After an accident or two, he realized exactly what needs to go in the potty, and how to get it there. Then we worked on underwear and telling us when he needed to go. This was about 3 weeks ago, and he's been accident-free for 2 weeks now." —eniese

"I've cut her off from drinking after 7. She goes to bed about 8:30 so we make sure to go potty right after brushing her teeth. Then when I go to bed between 9:30 and 10:00 I wake her up to go to the potty again. She's made it the last 2 nights in a row now with dry underwear!"—paigemikeymom

Our second-grade daughter made her first reconciliation recently. She had some questions about the two kinds of sin.
"Mortal sins are the big sins that God doesn't forgive, right?" she asked. I told her that God always forgives all our sins. Then why, she wondered, do we bother distinguishing the more serious from the less serious sins? I told her sin separates us from God and one another. With bigger sins we have gone farther away from God and one another, and so we have to move our hearts more to be close again to God and others. God always forgives, but we also have to be willing to give of ourselves to bridge the gap. Carpool theology has its challenges.
That same week, Emmanuel Ntakarutimana, O.P., chairman of the Burundi national independent Human Rights Commission, spoke to my students at Catholic University about peacebuilding and reconciliation. From the time of Father Emmanuel's birth, just before Burundi's independence in 1963, until today, Burundi has known five decades of violence, including the 12- year war from 1994 to 2006 that left more than 300,000 people dead, mostly civilians, and many times that number traumatized and displaced. How do people put a country back together after such serious and violent divisions? Father Emmanuel and the Catholic Church in Burundi are working at all levels of society to make the fragile peace more sustainable. At the individual and community level, he works with Centre Ubuntu to help restore moral values and rebuild social trust and relationships. Through narrative theater, communities name and acknowledge their troubles and publicly play-act the difficulties in their communities. It is a form of truth-telling and public acknowledgement that is important after conflict, a type of truth and reconciliation process at the village level, more accessible and less threatening to people than formal governmental processes because it comes in the package of laughter and play. The process helps start people talking, trusting and even working on common community projects together. It can open up individuals and communities for greater healing over time.
Father Emmanuel decried dehumanizing opponents, from calling the opposition "enemies to the country" to "parasites" and "beasts." Such talk lowers the moral bar, breaks social bonds between opposing groups and facilitates the tearing of the social fabric, which takes decades to rebuild. The new Burundi Human Rights Commission is just setting up shop and hiring personnel. Soon it will issue difficult reports, investigating past and current violations of human rights. As for reconciliation, Father Emmanuel says, "We are not there yet."
Listening to Father Emmanuel, I wonder about ourselves. Are we there yet? Too often we appreciate the need for peacebuilding abroad but fail to see the need for reconciliation and peacebuilding at home. As I took Father Emmanuel on a tour of the monuments in Washington, D.C., he noted all the war memorials (World War II, Korea, Vietnam) but found no monument to peace on the National Mall. Pickup trucks with confederate flag bumper stickers, pro-gun slogans and racist caricatures of President Obama moved by us in traffic. We passed the sites where the Occupy movements had been protesting but were being moved out, despite Constitutional guarantees to the right to assemble and to petition the government peacefully. In his quiet and respectful manner, Father Emmanuel asked why the United States urges peacebuilding and reconciliation abroad but not at home, why the United States reports on human rights violations in other countries each year but never issues its own human rights report.
It is a good question. The United States has been torn by centuries of violence, yet we had no "truth and reconciliation commission" at the end of the Civil War or after the civil rights movement. Today, overheated political rhetoric picks at that scab. Dehumanizing the opposition as enemies of the country, parasites and beasts tears the social fabric here as well as abroad. As Catholics, we are committed to reconciliation, communion and the peace of Christ, not just in the church building on the weekend among people like ourselves. God forgives all sins. But we have work to do in reconciliation, beyond the confessional to the public square.
Do you recall the killing fields and (killing) school yards of Gaza? Do you remember the vote in the House to repudiate the Blackstone Report?
90% against considering the horrendous record and barely 10% for.
The War Party decides all these issues, period.
The recent concern for the Syrian murdered is quite selective. The mayhem is decried now..... because Israel wants Assad out, period.
The rest is silence and pretty good theatrics.
who have contributed to our constant search as a nation for peace and liberty.
These monuments are not dedicated to violence.
I do not know where you learned your U.S. history but as a professor at CUA,
I would expect you to have some knowledge of who we have been and are as a
nation. Not perfect. But we do attempt to find peace and liberty at a huge costs
in lives and resources.
You seem to identify more with the "occupy" movement which has made no contribution while taking advantage of the liberties provided by so many.
Joe Bliss
I find myself compelled to respond to Maryann Cusimano Love's article Forgive Us Our Sins, (3/4). Although, I agree that reconciliation and forgiveness need to be taken to the public square I was disappointed in her response to Father Emmanuels' comment regarding all the 'war memorials' in our country's capital. These are not memorials to war but monuments to remember and honor those who gave their lives so that others could live in peace and freedom. We are not a perfect nation but Ms. Love missed an opportunity to honor America's contribution to world peace by failing to explain that subtle but real reason for our memorials.

She & Him | 16/11/11
Christmas Day, b/w Christmas Waltz is to be released as a single on 19th December. The track is taken from A Very She & Him Christmas, which reached 12 in the US Billboard charts upon release and is out now!
Stream it here:
She & Him - Christmas Day by Double Six
A Very She & Him Christmas is a wonderful collection of festive tunes from two of music's most impressive artists – Zooey Deschanel (She) & M. Ward (Him). Inspired by seminal seasonal albums by the likes of The Carpenters, Vince Guaraldi, The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and more, She & Him have set out to create an intimate recording of Christmas classics that help bring new emotions out of old songs. Recorded in Los Angeles and NYC at various points in 2011, A Very She & Him Christmas sees the duo stepping back slightly from the layered, lush aesthetic of their critically acclaimed second album, Volume Two. On A Very She & Him Christmas, Deschanel and Ward let the songs speak for themselves, often recording them with just acoustic guitar and vocals. Consistent in everything are the elements that have made She & Him one of the most loved bands of the last few years – Deschanel's soulful vocal delivery and Ward's impressive guitar work, both sounding as timeless as ever.

Feb. 22, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT enjoyed another spectacular day in the water, and finished in second place at the 2009 NEWMAC Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. With numerous school and personal records in tow, the Engineers secured their eighth consecutive runner-up finish.
Amy Jacobi started MIT's last-day run with a strong performance in a 100 fly time trial. The senior star eclipsed her previous best and NEWMAC record with a swim of 5718, nearly solidifying a spot at the national championships.
In the first official event of the evening, senior Nicole O'Keeffe broke through with an outstanding swim in the 1650 free. She smashed her previous best in the race, while finishing less than one second off the Institute record. Swimming nearly even splits the whole distance, O'Keeffe closed in 17:26.56 to finish second overall and earn All-Conference honors.
In the 200 back, rookie Allison Alwan continued her impressive championship debut by snatching a third-place finish in an individual event for the third time on the weekend. Improving her prelim time by over four seconds, Alwan finished in 2:09.78 in notching the second-fastest time in MIT history.
The Engineers picked up significant points in the 100 free. Jacobi paced MIT's depth with a sixth-place finish (53.28), while Katie Creasey, Sarah King, and Sydney Giblin finished second through fourth in the consolation final.
Although MIT didn't have any entries in the championship final of the 200 breast, the Engineers once again relied on their depth in adding to their scoring total. Junior Ellie Soudanidis and senior Abby Clark finished 1-2 in the consolation heat, with senior Caroline Lowenthal closing in fifth.
Senior Jen Chao delivered one of the most impressive races of the weekend with a dominating win in the 200 fly. Securing her first individual victory at the NEWMAC Championships, Chao swam 2:08.58 to set a new meet record while posting the best time for an MIT swimmer in 21 years.
In the final event of the meet, MIT ensured its runner-up finish in the team standings with two great efforts in the 400 free relay. In the consolation, junior Ashley Pinchinat delivered a huge personal record by splitting 54.70 in the lead off spot. O'Keeffe closed out her NEWMAC career in winning fashion while teaming with sophomore Lauren Hernley and Katie Creasey, who split 3:40.17 to win the heat by three seconds. The Engineers finished fourth in the championship final, but nearly set another school record as the team of King, Chao, Giblin, and Jacobi split 3:34.22.

Turkey's navy employs dynamic maintenance and repair concepts as well as readiness-monitoring and inventory-control systems. The indigenous shipbuilding and design capacity in domestic naval and private shipyards, research centers, and the defense industry further contribute to cost-effective solutions.
Our force planners use strategic-decision support utilities in modernization programs, focusing on sophisticated, modular designs that move toward economy of operation through fewer crew and lower fuel costs.
The objective is to maintain and develop a credible naval force despite budget constraints—a versatile, well-trained, and well-equipped force that can be rapidly deployed (and sustained) at strategic distances. Likewise, the force must be fully interoperable with military (and nonmilitary) counterparts while protecting sea lanes of communication and being prepared to support joint and combined land activities from the sea.
Complementing those objectives, the navy will continue to be keen on implementing burden-sharing mechanisms, following up its policy of contributing to global endeavors through regional cooperation, interoperability, and mutual trust.
On the basis of such a strategy and future force goals—and taking into account the need to operate not only in the littorals but also on the high seas—the strategic objectives of the Turkish Navy are as follows:
• For the near term—Watching closely the developments in cyber and information technologies, improving maritime-security operations and situational-awareness capabilities through construction of corvettes and patrol boats, while upgrading C4ISR and combat systems.
• Within a decade—Enhancing sea denial, forward presence, and limited power projection capacity with a focus on conducting operations other than war via building a reconfigurable landing platform with airlift ability, a combat-support ship, multifunctional frigates with unmanned/manned rotary wing aircraft, and air independent propulsion submarines.
• In 20 years—Advancing power projection, limited-strike ability, and survivability through acquisition of another multipurpose landing platform with organic STOVL aircraft, air defense frigates and unmanned underwater vehicles.
In line with those objectives, we will continue to sustain operational effectiveness and deterrent posture through innovation, maintaining the strategy-and-technology interface, exploiting indigenous capacity, prioritizing projects, and continuous manpower education and training.

The project brings together upper secondary school learners of Chinese, German and Spanish with older speakers of the language, promoting mutually beneficial inter-cultural, intergenerational encounters.
Such encounters enhance second language acquisition outcomes for the young language learners.
For the older participants these encounters provide opportunities for greater social engagement, resulting in an enhanced sense of empowerment, wellbeing and self-esteem.

Happy New Year And Many Thanks
[Picture via The Selvedge Yard.]
And to think that at this time last year I was blown away by what this blog was becoming. I want to sincerely thank everyone who visits Sart Inc, whether they enjoy it or not, and all my friends and family who have supported me in my endeavors no matter how ridiculous they may seem. At the end of the day I'll be the first to admit that a lot of what I do is complete and utter nonsense so everyone's encouragement means all that much more. 2010 was one hell of a year and my gut is telling me that 2011 is gonna be even better. Here's to a happy and healthy new year for you and yours.

Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile. Most think of tooth whitening or veneers when cosmetic dentistry comes to mind, but a cosmetic dentist can provide much more.
A skilled, experienced cosmetic dentist can help to improve your appearance, your smile, even your self-esteem, and confidence. Today, cosmetic dentistry has continued to evolve to where cosmetic dentists can address functional and esthetic patient concerns. Learn more about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry.
While we all feel we know a beautiful smile when we see one, there is no perfect smile. That's because each person has a different perception of what is beautiful; you and your cosmetic dentist may even have a difference of opinion. So it's important that you discover what you really like and then communicate that to your dentist. Learn more about what you should know before your first appointment.
There have been great advances in materials used in the field of dentistry in the past few years, with crowns and bridges improving by leaps and bounds. Learn more about dental materials.

Blizzard head coach DelCastillo accepts job at NCAA DIII Hamline
Doc DelCastillo is coming home. He grew up in the Midway neighborhood near Hamline – his mother worked at the school and his sister Melissa swam for the Pipers. And now DelCastillo takes over the reins of Hamline NCAA DIII men's hockey program.
A 20-year veteran of coaching at the junior and college level, DelCastillo was named today as the new head men's hockey coach of the Pipers by Hamline athletic director Jason Verdugo. He replaces Scott Steffen, who resigned last month to return to his business interests after coaching for one season at Hamline. Despite having just five seniors and 10 first year players, the Pipers made the MIAC playoffs for the fifth straight season in 2011-12.
"I am thrilled to be getting back to Saint Paul," DelCastillo said. "This is a great opportunity. In the last three years (coaching at Alexandria in the North American Hockey League), I have gotten to know several of the league's coaches and had some of my former players play in the MIAC. I have tremendous respect for the school and the success the program has had in recent years. There is a very good foundation here to build on."
Verdugo is pleased to have DelCastillo on board. "Doc has had considerable success as a head coach in the junior leagues," he said. "He also has been a college head coach (one season at Alaska-Fairbanks) and spent several years as an assistant at top-notch programs (St. Cloud State and Nebraska-Omaha). He knows how to recruit and he knows how to teach players. We're very excited to have him here."
DelCastillo played high school hockey at Hill-Murray and four seasons at St. Cloud State, where he received his bachelors' degree. Later, he earned his master's in sports management at SCSU. In his senior season, he was the Huskies' team captain.
Upon graduating, he worked as an assistant coach in the United States Hockey League. In 1994, he began a three-year stint as the head coach at Rochester, where he posted a 71-62-2 record. He returned to the college ranks for four seasons as an assistant at his alma mater and spent five seasons in Omaha before heading west to become the head coach of the Nanooks. After one season, he came back to his home state with the Blizzard, where he posted a 103-56-17 regular season record, including the franchise's first-ever Central Division title in 2010-11.
"I was very impressed with how I was treated by Jason and (search committee members) Tim Ostroot and Steve DeBus," DelCastillo said. "They're classy guys. I hope to be able to contribute and add to what has already been built here." DelCastillo assumes his new duties immediately. He met with the players on May 7 and intends to hire assistant coaches as soon as possible.

UW Hosts Jackson Town Meeting to Focus on Internationalization
Teton County residents are invited to share ideas about improving internationalization efforts during a town meeting Thursday, Aug. 9, from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Commissioners Chambers in the County Administration Building, 200 S. Willow.
The Jackson meeting is part of a University of Wyoming review of its policies, practices and offerings to increase international activities, awareness and educational opportunities in the state.
UW was one of a few universities nationwide invited to participate in the American Council on Education's "Internationalization Lab." The town meeting is a way to gather input on how to improve Wyoming's international efforts, says Anne Alexander, UW's director of International Programs. It includes assessing opportunities for internationalization that already exist at UW, including foreign guest speakers, foreign languages and study abroad programs.
"We hope to learn people's thoughts on our programming, speakers and cultural events; and about workforce development needs and what our graduates need to know about the world around them," Alexander says. "Input gathered will be used to assess how we can broaden the impacts and benefits of international experiences throughout the state."
When the review is complete, she says the university will develop a strategic plan to improve internationalization opportunities.
"We truly hope for a strong response from our UW alumni and friends in Jackson so that our project includes their input," Alexander says.

Track the Boats on the Chicago to Mackinac Race!
The world's oldest annual freshwater distance race, the Chicago to Mackinac, stretches 333 miles (289.4 nautical miles) across Lake Michigan. While much of the race is well away from land, folks can still follow the action thanks to tracking technology used by the Chicago Yacht Club. MyNorth asked Jay Muller, a member of the Mackinac Committee, to fill us in on the super cool beam-me-up-Scotty system.
Go to www.cycracetomackinac.com and choose "race tracking" link to follow the fleet as they cross Lake Michigan.
MyNorth: How does the electronic tracking system work?
Jay Muller: Each boat in the race has a transponder that uploads position and boat speed information every 15 minutes to orbiting Iridium satellites. A 'snapshot' is posted on the race viewer every hour showing each boat's location on a map of Lake Michigan.
MyNorth: What information is provided?
Jay Muller: Boat name, boat speed in knots, course over ground, Lat/Lon location, and boat trail. Additionally, you can choose individual boats and/or sections and see how a particular fleet is doing in relation to each other.
MyNorth: Race tracking technology has changed the race from a start-and-finish-line-only spectator event. In what ways is that good for Great Lakes sailboat racing?
Jay Muller: The Chicago Yacht Club has long been a pioneer in tracking sailboat races. With over 475,000 hits on last year's race, our transponder program will make the 102nd Race an event both participants and family and friends—as well as millions of spectators-around the world—can enjoy from start to finish.

Somebody, quick, get me a spoon, because I need to be gagged after hearing this gross piece of gossip that the funny, talented, and gorgeous Ms. Kristin Chenoweth was seen canoodling with Bachelor ass-hat Jake Pavelka over a lunch date in West Hollywood this week. Like, barf.
A source spilled the beans to Perez, so there's hope after all that this is just one nasty, vicious rumor, because, seriously? If this is real? I'm gonna puke.
I guess my visceral reaction toward Jake started after I saw him on some Bachelor reunion show. He and his ex-fiance (LOL) Vienna Girardi went on TV to talk to Chris Harrison about why their relationship didn't work out, and Jake got this tight look on his face and was all, YOU NEED TO QUIT INTERUPTING ME RRROOOOARRRR. And frankly, it was scary. Hated him ever since.
Kristin, oh Kristin ... she's so out of Fake Pathetica's league it's not even funny. I'm wondering if that tragic accident on the set of The Good Wife, when a light fell on her head and she was hospitalized for a period of time, if that somehow didn't jostle her brain and make her immune to the logic that tells healthy people to stay away from someone whose only future prospects include more reality shows like VH1's Famous Food.
If Kristin and Jake really were wearing sunglasses at a lunch date, nuzzling, I only hope it's for a social experiment of some sort. Maybe she's doing recon on reality star losers so she can play on one TV? Maybe they weren't "nuzzling" so much as "thumb wrestling" because they're distant cousins trying to hash out who gets their dead grandaddy's tractor?
Here's hoping.
What do you make of this Jake Pavelka/Kristin Chenoweth date?

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Attorneys general from more than 40 states wrote a letter Tuesday urging Congress to extend tax relief to distressed borrowers who have their mortgage debt cancelled or forgiven because of financial hardship or a decline in housing values. Under the federal Mortgage Debt Relief Act, in effect from 2007, mortgage debt forgiven after a foreclosure or short sale or loan modification is not included in the calculation of taxable income. This exclusion, limited to primary residence mortgages and not those on second homes, expires on December 31, 2012. "This tax relief is critical for helping struggling homeowners stay in their homes as we work to repair the damage from the foreclosure crisis," Massachusetts AG Martha Coakley said in a statement. "We urge Congress to ensure families are not hit with an unexpected tax bill when seeking a loan modification." The attorneys general urged Congress to extend the relief, failing which such borrowers could face a tax increase of $1.3 billion, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. The expiry of the tax exclusion, they argue, also comes at a time when considerable progress is being made under the national mortgage settlement, under which states required the big banks- Bank of America ( BAC), JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), Wells Fargo ( WFC), Citigroup ( C) and Ally Financial - to provide upto $17 billion in debt reduction and other relief measures. "Requiring a homeowner to pay income tax on forgiven or canceled mortgage debt would make the National Mortgage Settlement much less effective," they argued. "We strongly urge Congress to extend this critical tax exclusion, which expires on December 31, 2012, so that distressed homeowners are not stuck with an unexpected tax bill or deterred from participating in this historic settlement," they wrote. --Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Shanthi Bharatwaj. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/shavenk. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Your Production and Markets Have Caused Major Changes in Rail Shipments for GrainTweet
What happens to your corn or soybeans when it leaves your possession? If you are delivering to a feed lot or a processor, it is quite evident what will happen to it. But if it flows through an elevator and into a covered hopper car, the destination could be a long ways away and there may be a lot of other grain hauled with it. Increases in corn and soybean production, the development of ethanol plants, and China's hunger for soybeans have all become significant dynamics in the changes the rail industry has made to transport US grain.
In the railroad ledger books:
·Grain comprises 7.9 percent by tons of all commodities hauled by rail.
·Grain represents 94 percent by tons of all farm commodities.
·Grain transportation earned 8.4 percent of total rail revenue in 2009.
·Railroads hauled 33 percent of all grain transported in the United States in 2007.
But those statics are changing over time according to USDA economists who say since 1994 railroads have moved from hauling single carloads to grain to shuttle-sized shipments which are 75 or more railcars. That is the primary option for movement of corn, soybeans, and sorghum. However, the use of shuttle trains has not been the primary mode of transportation for wheat. Additionally, the distance traveled by rail cars full of grain has increased for corn and soybeans, the US Surface Transportation Board reported, "In 1994, lengths of haul for corn and soybeans were principally between 20 and 500 miles. In 2009, however, the predominant length of haul for these two crops had become greater than 1,500 miles." In terms of a percentage increase from 1994 to 2009, the length of haul for corn increased 71%, for soybeans the length of haul increased 123%, but only 33% for wheat.
However, in the case of wheat the Surface Transportation Board reports, "In 1994, the average length of haul for wheat and sorghum was between 501 and 1,000 miles, representing 40 percent and 34 percent of total movements, respectively. By 2009, hauls of this length had increased to 51 percent and 54 percent of total movements."
The length of haul for grain and the size of shipments are functions of the changing production of corn, primarily, along with the relatively new development of ethanol plants, and the global demand for various types of grain produced in the US. The USDA economists report, "As prices have changed to reflect new supply and demand equilibriums, the size and distance of grain shipments has been affected as well." They report that in 1994, 58% of corn was used for feed and residual, but that dropped to 39% in 2009. And in 1994, only 6% of corn was used for ethanol, a number that grew to 35% in 2009. Additionally, the development of distillers dried grains has displaced some use of corn in feed and in exports. However, export volume has fallen as corn production has increased, making it unnecessary to increase trainloads from the Cornbelt to Gulf and Pacific Northwest ports.
The USDA reports, "The quantity of corn exports decreased only 9 percent, from 61.0 million tons in 1994 to 55.4 million tons in 2009. The use of corn to produce ethanol does not necessarily reduce the amount of corn available for exports because exports depend on price and production in other countries. The percentage of corn moved by shuttle-size shipments increased from 19 percent of rail corn tonnage in 1994 to 55 percent in 2009. Corn shipments of 1 to 5 railcars decreased from 15 percent of the rail tonnage in 1994 to 7 percent of the total in 2009. Corn shipments of 6 to 49 railcars decreased from 41 percent of the rail tonnage to 19 percent and corn shipments of 50 to 74 railcars decreased from 26 percent to 19 percent of the rail tonnage. The distance corn was shipped has increased 71 percent since 1994 (table 1). Corn shipments between 20 and 500 miles, which are most susceptible to truck competition, decreased from 49 percent of the rail shipments (27.3 million tons) in 1994 to 22 percent (16.0 million tons) in 2009, a tonnage decrease of 41 percent.
"From marketing year 1994 to MY 2009, U.S. soybean production increased 34 percent in response to high world demand for meat, milk, and eggs, which use soybean meal as a high-protein livestock feed. Soybean tonnages exported have increased 79 percent, from 25.2 million tons in marketing year 1994 to 45.0 million tons in marketing year 2009. The percentage of soybeans moved by shuttle-size shipments has increased from 10 percent of total rail tonnage in 1994 to 63 percent in 2009. Soybean shipments of 1 to 5 railcars decreased from 16 percent of total rail tonnage in 1994 to only 3 percent of the total in 2009. Soybean shipments of 6 to 49 railcars decreased from 44 percent of the total tonnage in 1994 to 19 percent in 2009. Soybean shipments of 50 to 74 railcars decreased from 30 percent of total rail tonnage in 1994 to 15 percent in 2009. The distance soybeans are shipped has increased 123 percent (table 1), partially in response to a 79-percent increase in export tonnages since 1994. Soybean rail tonnages hauled more than 1,500 miles increased from 7 percent of total rail soybean tonnage (1 million tons) in 1994 to 45 percent (13 million tons) in 2009, a tonnage increase of 1,190 percent.
"Wheat usage has not changed markedly since 1994. Exports and food are still the primary uses of wheat, comprising 45 percent and 41 percent, respectively, of 2009 wheat use. Exports have averaged 48 percent of U.S. wheat production from 1994 to 2009, but are variable, ranging from 40 percent to 62 percent of production because of changes in world markets and world production. Smaller size shipments of wheat are still an important part of wheat markets. Although the percentage of wheat moved by shuttle-size shipments increased from 9 percent of the rail wheat tonnage in 1994 to 36 percent in 2009, shipment sizes of 6 to 49 railcars hauled 47 percent of the tonnage in 2009. Wheat shipments of 1 to 5 railcars decreased from 20 percent of the total tonnage in 1994 to 12 percent of the total in 2009. Wheat shipments of 50 to 74 railcars decreased from 19 percent of the total rail tonnage in 1994 to only 5 percent in 2009. The distance wheat was shipped has increased 33 percent since 1994. Wheat shipments between 20 and 500 miles decreased from 32 percent of the total in 1994 (15.1 million tons) to only 19 percent of the total in 2009 (8.3 million tons), a tonnage decrease of 45 percent. Most wheat is transported 501 to 1,000 miles, which increased from 40 percent of the total in 1994 (18.5 million tons) to 51 percent of the total in 2009 (22.7 million tons), a tonnage increase of 23 percent."
Despite the overall push towards larger and longer hauls by the railroads to maximize efficiency, the shuttle market has not developed identically for each grain because of differences in exports, production, and usage. Wheat has been the most consistent of the five grains over the period of study, showing very little change in exports, production, or usage. Increased production of corn and soybeans due to increases in corn-based ethanol and soybean exports have led to shuttle-sized shipments.

We know that the best receptive state for the SC is during a dream/LD. The next is during the light sleep/meditation stage. So it's obvious from how I see it: Our best bet of feeding info to our SC is during an LD, specifically by using emotion and intent to communicate. I will experiment with this during my next LDs and report back. If I can get my SC in the habit of thinking about waking/sleeping states during my LDs, then the SC will continue to do it on it's own when I am not lucid, essentially producing more "aha! I'm dreaming!" moments. I think we are getting somewhere.
Its worth putting in effort anyway and the effort alone will most likely create some more lucid states so it cant do much harm.
I have always used non-verbal communication with the DC but this was another type, its sort of thinking of what you want to say and them imagining it as a ball of energy and then thinking very strongly that I want this answered. The intended DC seemed to receive it and then had to respond.
What was so startling to me was in the first instance they would not answer, just like a kid that wont fess up to doing something and then by going from non-verbal communication to this next type they could not help by respond.
I feel like it was something responding that didnt want to and so leads to wonder if it was a something as in some form of energy that really does exist outside of my mind rather that just extracting some answers from a what I call a big database of left over energy.
Reluctant really to go past simply thinking I have found a new way for me anyway to communicate at this stage and will form up a plant.
As for intent and emotion to the DC, I think you said you were in the forces so my intent was with the strength of someone in charge of a lot of people and I made it plane in a quiet way that they will answer and there was no room for debate. You might relate to this sort of instruction

by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 2:57 pmYes ladies and gents, they're back.... I know it's been a while but I am back in the right frame of mind to question a good chunk of you. This Top List will not be characters, but more along the theme of Top Creative Runs we did and will be Top Comic Book Writers. You can base your list on all time writers, you can base you list on current writers, you can base you list on just Marvel or DC writers. No matter what you base it on, I need a Top 10 list from you.
Like all of the other Top Lists before this one, you will send me a Top 10 lists of your favorite Comic Book Writers. For first place, the character in the #1 slot for all your mental slowpokes, the character was given 10 points, for second - 9 points, for third - 8 points, and so on and so forth. Then, all the points were added up, and ranked in order of points received. From there I will spend hours, days, even weeks shaking my head at the some of yours lists while I tally the totals. And once all is said and done I will post the results for all of you to bitch and complain like you did when The Hood made it into the Top 50 or when Bullseye beat Red Skull, Ultron, Kang and Magneto on the Top Marvel Villains list.
I like to add this little tidbit, someone pointed out to me that as good as an X-men writer Claremont is/was, one of his best stories (Dark Phoenix Saga) was co-written by Byrne. So, you can put writing teams on the list as well as individual writers.
For example, your list can look like this:
1. Bru
2. Bru/Rucka
3. Rucka
The writing team will be a separate place on the list because and will be consider diffferent from their solo work... make sense?
And please, I like to think I know a lot of writers in the comic biz buuuuut i'm sure there are a few out there on some obscure indie book that I have never heard of. So if you want to add those to your list, put the books they write in brackets just to help me out. If I cannot find anything on the writer, its hard for me to do a write up about them, so be prepared for me to ask you for help. Speaking of help, once again I am asking you to give me quotes. I love quotes. I love long even quotes more. Some people are afraid to do a little write up, why? I have no clue. I use them in the write up, unless I lose them or something (which has happened... sue me).
I will need your list no later than Feb 2/2014 11:59, so write that date down!!!
Oh, and if we are lucky we may see the return of the One Point Club..
You know what to do, folks..
Do it, Rockapella!!
by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 2:59 pmLOLtron this please and thank you?
by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 4:38 pm
by Amoebas » Fri Jan 03, 2014 4:57 pmI'm in for some write ups if it's needed.
by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 5:27 pmNoted and will most likely get you to write a few!
by nietoperz » Fri Jan 03, 2014 5:41 pmBubba, I made the thread a global announcement.
by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 5:41 pmThanks!
And I expect a list from you with Gaiman in first spot, yes?
by nietoperz » Fri Jan 03, 2014 5:48 pm
(You already have it, actually...)
by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 5:49 pmawesome.
Good list!!
by LoganRSA » Fri Jan 03, 2014 7:14 pmMan, this is tougher than i expected. I have too many already, and I know I'm forgetting some important ones. I haven't even started to rank them!
by Stephen Day » Fri Jan 03, 2014 9:03 pmYeah, this is going to be tough. I can put Mark Gruenwald in the top spot on my list, but beyond that I'm going to have to think.
by BubbaKanoosh » Fri Jan 03, 2014 9:05 pmWell, you have a month.
by Stephen Day » Fri Jan 03, 2014 9:06 pm
I think I may need most of it with this one.
by BubbaKanoosh » Sat Jan 04, 2014 12:00 pmWe have so many new people here since I last did this, they may not know what this is...
by Amoebas » Sat Jan 04, 2014 3:07 pmWow - this is tough, I've already had to eliminate...
Alan Grant, Bill Mantlo, Carl Barks, Denny O'Neal, Doug Moench, Herge', James Robinson, Jim Shooter, John Wagner/Alan Grant, Kurt Busiek, Mark Gruenwald, Mike Baron, Neil Gaiman, Paul Levitz, Peter David, Roger Stern, Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart (and I still have more to eliminate).

Chinese Authorities Net 11 in Piracy Bust
May 8, 2013 8:39 AM PT
Police in Beijing arrested 11 suspects believed to be involved with a major high-definition downloading ring.
The website, silu.com, was running what has been called an "unprecedented" operation. It reportedly boasted more than 400,000 registered members and offered under-the-table downloads for nearly 19,000 films and TV series. The catalog included everything from arthouse films to foreign blockbusters.
As a full-service piracy provider, the site also had more than 3,300 music albums and 208 game software packages.
All told, the downloading platform accumulated 20 million downloads and had daily traffic in the tens of thousands.
The company responsible reportedly had seven employees, 140 website administrators and two brick-and-mortar stores. Uploaders are scattered throughout eight countries, including the U.S. and Japan, but the site itself was run out of Beijing.
Authorities are reportedly considering charges against uploaders whose special brand of philanthropy resulted in more than 50,000 downloads.
Last month, a new draft of China's "Copyright Law" was submitted to the legislative affairs office of the state council. The revised draft includes protection of online copyrights and liability for website operators.

Evernote: It Wasn't China
From security firms to President Obama, there is no shortage of accusations about Chinese hacking.
However, online storage service Evernote has gone the other way, publicly absolving China of a March attack that resulted in a huge security breach and cost the company millions of dollars.
Rather than from China, that attack came from identity theft groups, said Evernote CEO Phil Libin.
Evernote launched in China in March of 2012. This week, it released a Chinese version of its software -- it was released in the U.S. in December -- designed for corporate clients.
Mandiant, the security firm made famous for its February report that state-sponsored Chinese hackers have for years been conducting cyberespionage against the U.S., aided Evernote with its investigation.

France, Germany to Press Google on UK Taxes
British lawmakers have long admonished Google over the company's UK taxes practices.
Now politicians in Germany and France are getting into the act, which means the European Union's three biggest countries are all weighing in on the topic.
Google currently has no "taxable presence" in France, Germany or Britain, which allows its profits there to remain largely untaxed. Google's operations in these countries are designated as marketing and support service providers from Google Ireland, which, in turn, coughs up most of its turnover to tax-friendly Bermuda.
Google chairman Eric Schmidt recently defended Google's tax practices, saying that they were not only legal, but also on par with what other international companies do.
Google is not accused of illegal behavior -- just of being too sneaky.

united states | you can ask...and more
Delivering a little comfort and lots of hugs amid great devastation.
When disasters leave families reeling, Sesame Street is on the scene with support, friendship, and a reassuring dose of laughter.
Reaching out a helping hand in times of need, Sesame Street creates content and outreach materials to help families cope.
In the wake of September 11, 2001, children as well as adults experienced fear and shock from the day's tragic events. To help families process these complex emotions, we created four special Sesame Street episodes covering such topics as coping with loss, cultural diversity, and appreciating firefighters. We also partnered with Project Liberty, an effort by the New York State Office of Mental Health, to help families following 9/11. The result isYou Can Ask, an educational outreach kit with guidance for parents, caregivers, and mental health professionals about how to talk to and support children experiencing stressful situations.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Sesame was there for families whose lives were changed forever by the flood. We created Hurricane on Sesame Street, a five-part series that teaches children how to cope with events such as a hurricane with help from their Muppet friends.
And following the 2010 earthquake that left 2.1 million Haitians displaced, we sent 1,000 DVDs to Haiti for community viewings, featuring the Sesame Street cast and Haitian children offering words of encouragement in Creole language.
Sometimes what's needed the most is simply being there, bringing the familiar comfort of Elmo and friends directly to children in their moment of need. Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, Sesame puppeteers went to New Orleans to deliver hugs and laughter — the best relief, however temporary, from stressful circumstances.
And after Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the beloved Muppets made personal visits to kids at the epicenter, along with 10,000 Muppet coloring kits, to provide a welcome distraction and remind children theirSesame Street friends are there for them.

Party in the Poconos 400 Race Preview
Granite Stripe (2013, Ep. 16): Pocono
The Granite Stripe prepares for this weekend's Party in the Poconos 400 with the broadcast, podcast and blog coverage. The race will be on TNT at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Listen to the Granite Stripe Podcast (2013, Ep. 16): Dover Recap, Pocono Preview.
Jonathan and Gavin discuss Stewart's win, Johnson's black flag and make their picks for Pocono. The show closes with a brief discussion of the Boston Bruins.
Set your fantasy lineup with the preview: Get the Party Started.
The message for drivers moving forward is that it's all about taking the checkered flag. If you can't finish in the top-10, you still might go chasing if you can find victory lane a few times in the final 13 races of NASCAR's season.
Check out who climbed back on top of the Magic Mile Power Rankings.
2. Matt Kenseth - The 40th at Dover tied for the second worst of his career there and gave him his third finish outside the top 35 this season. When it goes bad, it goes real bad for the 20 team.

The fourth annual Dine Around returns to Comox Valley celebrating the extraordinary bounty from the farms and sea.
With one of Canada's only whisky distilleries, award-winning wineries, and an ever-expanding variety of restaurants and cafés showcasing locally produced, raised and harvested ingredients, it is a chefs' paradise and a food lover's dream.
The month-long event begins Feb. 20 and runs through to March 17.
"The Comox Valley is in the midst of a mini-culinary boom and so the dining choices have never been better," says Danielle Duncan, owner/manger of Union Street Grill. "And, like other food establishments, we take pride in working with the local producers to bring the seasonal ingredients to the menu, so Dine Around is an excellent way for locals and visitors to come in and check out what's new while enjoying the festive vibe the event creates."
This year, 22 Comox Valley restaurants will partake in the annual event by creating delicious three-course, prix fixe meals — each available to diners for $17, $27 or $37 per person.
With a climate that supports a year-round growing season and the diversity of the farm produce, chefs have access to the freshest of local ingredients. Even the most discerning gourmands and connoisseurs should be able to satiate tastebuds.
There are also several properties offering special accommodation rates. They can arrange shuttle service, so food lovers can further pamper themselves by taking advantage of special discounts to make it a real night out.
Accommodation partners include the Travelodge Courtenay, Old House Village Hotel and Spa, the Best Western Plus Westerly Hotel and the Comox Valley Bed and Breakfast Association.
"Dine Around is the perfect opportunity for a staycation — a mini vacation in town — with your partner," says Tansy Pauls, front desk manager of the Courtenay Travelodge. "Couples can enjoy a romantic dinner for two then adjourn to one of the participating accommodations for an evening and the best part about it is they are free from household chores and daily distractions."
In recent years, the Comox Valley has risen in culinary circles as a food destination — thanks in part to the great number of agricultural and aquaculture products produced in the surrounding land and waters. This, combined with local wineries and breweries, diverse restaurants and excellent chefs, has put the Comox Valley region on the maps of food lovers everywhere.
The Comox Valley also plays host to a number of annual foodcentric events. In addition to Dine Around, there is the BC Shellfish Festival in June, Comox Valley Farm Cycle Tour in August and FLAVOUR: The North Island's Gourmet Picnic in September.
For any vacation planning in the Comox Valley, the new Vancouver Island Visitor Centre (VIVC) is a great starting point. The centre has the latest information on events and activities to do pre- and post-Dine Around Comox Valley and, as a winter destination, it means same-day adventures can take visitors from a snowy mountain top to an ocean adventure.
From VIVC, visitors can make accommodation reservations, purchase activities and even beat lineups at the ski hill. Mount Washington Alpine Resort snow tubing and lift pass and rental packages are available at the VIVC's new Snow Desk.
VIVC will also offer a Dine Around Sweepstakes on Facebook until March 17, with gift certificates to participating restaurants and accommodations drawn at the end of Dine Around.
For details, visit www.facebook.com/VIVisitorCentre.
And, working in partnership with Comox Valley Economic Development in overseeing the Dine Around event is a top-notch steering committee. Members include Ronald St-Pierre from Locals – Food from the Heart of the Island; Edd Moyes and Barbara Hansen from Blackfin Pub, and Sandra Viney from Atlas Café and Avenue Bistro.
For more information about the restaurants and accommodations participating in this year's Dine Around Comox Valley, visit comoxvalleydinearound.com. You can also follow them on Twitter@vivisitorcentre #DineAroundCV or on Facebook at fb.com/vivisitorcentre for profiles on participating locations.

|FreeBSD General Other questions regarding FreeBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Newbie requesting too much time/effort!
I'm a novice Linux user and a new BSD user. I've loaded Ubuntu on a half dozen machines and mucked around in another half dozen distros. I've been in that learning curve off and on for a year or so. All I've done in BSD so far is:
-Load it on an old laptop
-Load xfce on that
-Load it on a "rough draft" box (like a "training wheels" version of a file server)
-Set up key-auth OpenSSH and harden login security
This Essay was extremely compelling, on a basic level. So compelling, in fact, I would like to build my next file server on BSD. Here is a summary of what I would like to accomplish, given my current understanding:
-Low power consumption (as low as possible given the rest)
-Five 1TB SATA hard drives in Raid 5, 4TB of storage space (I've never implemented RAID before). I'm willing to buy 6 drives when it comes time for hardware purchasing.
-Headless operation
-Automatically updates OS and applications daily
-The ability to know which of the drives has failed when any of them do
-The ability to hot swap out drives at will for disk maintenance
-The ability to "share" anything on the RAID array with my LAN (read only)
-A safe "open" place on the RAID array to write data (dump files here)
-Efficient file management (move files, tar, rar, zip, etc)
-Moblock between WAN and all applications: http://moblock.berlios.de/
-HFS-like simple HTTP file server (for easy "anywhere") read access
-Safe and easy WAN write access to the "dump"
-Direct Connect client, bandwidth throttling
-Bit Torrent client that monitors the dump for .torrent files, bandwidth throttling, encrypted connections
-Newsgroup client that monitors the dump for .nzb files and .zip files containing .nzb files, encrypted connections
-irssi + screen - Accessible from anywhere
-All the above to come online at power up (it would be nice if they could come up 30 seconds apart - IRSSI, 30 seconds, MoBlock, 30seconds, Newsleecher, 30, Torrent, 30 )
So, if it is okay, as I go through this I'll just ask questions here in this thread. Is that okay?
Any hardware/application suggestions?
Suggested reading links?
What would you do differently?
Am I going to have to run Xorg?
Which apps should be run under a unique user?
Which apps should be run in jails (I have yet to touch jails but they sound like they'll be useful to me)?
When updating src (the kernel and world) you should use mergemaster, which is interactive. In ports, you run into things like a gettext upgrade, where you have to recompile all your installed ports. You have no way of knowing what you will find, so you do it manually.
Besides, server stability is more important than having the latest and greatest. If it works, why bother to upgrade? FWIW, I update my desktops every few months, but I have not touched my server since Jan 2007. I ought to do so one of these days, but it works well, the benefits from updating would be modest at best, and I would have to recompile a whole lot of custom-ported applications that I would then have to get working again. So it just keeps on running.
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
You should also check that it can boot without a mouse or keyboard attached. Often they can, but not always, particularly if you go for a consumer-level board. "Real" server boards do not suffer from this problem.
I'd suggest bookmarking the handbook and buying (or picking up from your local library) a good book.
For a project like this, you need a strong foundation. To get that strong foundation, you need to learn the fundamentals first (and worry about specific implementations later).
Forums are generally most appropriate for specific technical questions. Eric Raymond has a popular essay on the topic of asking questions - it's definitely worth a read.
Kill your t.v.
Thanks, I've been poking through the handbook already.
Ordered Absolute and Building a Server.
Cominig from Linux (chaos) to BSD (order) you will need to think a new way, at least I did, and once I "got" it, BSD is like a work of art. I find it hard to use Linux anymore, but in some situations I have to. I think you will find BSD to be better designed and definitely more stable.
Good choice and welcome aboard.
