While I was beginning to prepare dinner, I showed my wife a tiny radish that ended up on her plate. I joked and asked her what she would think if I served that tiny radish to her on her plate and told her that it was her dinner!
I also served a dish that I had conceived earlier in the day and which we both enjoyed. I sauteed in my cast iron pan 4 or 5 stalks of green onion, diced to about 1/2" pieces, small chunks of tempeh, and, after a few minutes, leaves of baby spinach, roughly torn into approximate halves. I made some rainbow orzo simply by combining it in a ratio of one part to four parts vegetable broth and simmering for about 15 minutes till the broth was absorbed. I mixed the vegetables and tempeh with the orzo and added salt, Colgin Liquid Smoke, dill weed, a little basil and oregano from my garden, and about a fifth of a raw red onion, diced into 3/8" or so pieces.
American Dance Festival opens tomorrow night and runs through July 21! We love this, the country's largest contemporary dance festival, and go to see most, if not all, of the performers. We may have some dinners out or late dinners at home on the nights we attend.
Tonight we finished up the remaining leftovers from the dinner we had last Wednesday at Sitar Indian Restaurant, Durham, NC.
There was an excellent 2-hour film on the Israeli-Arab Six Day War of 1967, Six Days in June, that aired on public TV (all I watch!), so I put dinner together and we ate while we watched the film. I simply heated up the zucchini-seitan left from last week and made Road's End Organics (they make a vegan macaroni and "chreese") brand shiitake mushroom gravy that I served atop mashed potatoes.
Yesterday, we were hoping to spend much of the day with our new tandem, but it rained. We nevertheless had a very nice day doing some shopping (other than food shopping, neither of us shop much at all) for bicycle clothes (we got two matching outfits!) and tools, possibly an Apple computer purchase, and some DVDs - it ended up being a little late and we were hungry, so we ate out at what we both feel is probably the best pizza in the area at Panzanella - they seem now to commonly have vegan pesto on hand! They make a very tasty pesto pizza with thin crust, which is what I had, and my wife had spaghetti.
By the way, June 6th is the third anniversary of my wife and my meeting each other! I still have managed to make a unique dinner for her every night that I've cooked for her (most nights).
It took us all afternoon and into the evening to get our new tandem put together (I took some pictures for the manufacturer to help guide us - you can see the images online) and before we knew it, after a fun quick initial trial ride, it was 9p and my wife was very hungry. I heated Field Roast "Grain Meat" Company's handmade stuffed (with apples, squash, and mushrooms) Celebration Roast; how relevant this turned out to be, as the first time I had tried it was about a year ago, the night before our annual rose show, and today was the 2007 show, which I didn't attend as there was no official arrangement competition). In hindsight it could have looked prettier, but I heated up leftover Potato-Parsnip Velouté and used it as a gravy.
I also tried cooking with baby turnips for the first time. I simple halved them and boiled them for just 4 or 5 minutes till they were a bit soft. Then I mixed in a little Baja Lime marinade, salt, Caribbean Bliss seasoning, and fresh oregano. It tasted interesting and was reasonably good.
I was delighted, by the way, to get a very nice gift in the mail from my blogger friend Puja who says she follows my blog. She sent me rice paper spring rolls along with some recipe ideas. (Thanks, Puja!!) I hope to experiment with them in the coming days.
Late this afternoon, I was involved with a photo shoot at a friends' studio and stayed after to visit and talk shop a bit. My wife was hungry when I got home, but I was able to get a meal on the table quickly as we had a lot of leftovers from our dinner at Sitar Indian Restaurant, Durham, from Wednesday night. Except for the salad, the meal was really theirs - triangular stuffed samosas, filled flat bread, rice, and (too spicy, alas) chickpeas.
I sauteed four cloves of roughly chopped garlic and seitan, chopped to about 1/4" cubes, for a few minutes till the seitan started to brown. Then I added 1/2" cubed zucchini and sauteed for about 5 more minutes. I added a small can of stewed tomatoes, 1/4" chopped yellow bell pepper, fresh oregano and basil from my garden, and salt and pepper; I simmered this for about 5 minutes, then served over Strozzapreti Pasta with some Eat in the Raw's Parma! vegan "Parmesan cheese" on top. My wife and I loved this dish!
Yesterday, I hosted two special guests in the class on Gandhian nonviolence that I teach. Thakorbhai Parekh, a 91-year-old gentleman who marched with Gandhi in the 1930 Salt March, joined my class along with his sweet wife and spoke to my class, came for a break to my parents' house, then joined several students and friends for a nice Indian dinner at Sitar India Restaurant (I ordered a large menu of vegan food sans onions or garlic, which Thakorbhai and his wife don't eat, including salad, samosa triangles, idli rice cakes with spicy sambar soup, dosa crepes, chana masala (chickpeas), rice, and fruit).

What to Expect Once You Have Filed Your Personal Injury Suit in the Proper Court Within the Time Limit?
After you file your complaint in court and the other party is served and answers, the discovery process starts. Each party may send interrogatories to be answered, and depositions may be taken during this time. This helps to gather the information to be used during a trial. Testimony given during a deposition is recorded by an official court reporter, much like in a trial. Discovery can be short or last awhile, depending on the facts of the particular case.
After the attorneys have gathered evidence through the discovery process, it is not uncommon for settlement talks to begin. Sometimes mediation or a more formal version, arbitration is sought out to help settle without going to trial. The majority of cases settle before trial. However, if the other side is unwilling to make a fair deal, trial may be the way to go.
If you are having issues after filing your personal injury lawsuit, contact Todd Durham Law Firm. Call (214) 222-4000 to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney today.
Taobao.com, the Internet shopping subsidiary of the Chinese B2B e-commerce group Alibaba, has announced that it will cooperate with China Mobile to launch a new mobile phone short message-based price comparison service.
With this new service, mobile phone users will be able to inquire about the prices of goods sold on Taobao.com when they are shopping in traditional department stores. By sending short messages, consumers will gain replies that show the price range of products from Taobao.com to make price comparisons.
The price for one inquiry short message is the same as that of a general one, depending on the specific plan for the user, and no extra service charge is required. The new service is currently available for China Mobile's mobile phone users, with exceptions for those in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Ningxia. No similar service is launched for users of China Unicom or China Telecom.

Snap is on a roll to acquire startups and is not shying away when it comes to revealing the financial details to the world.
Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, which is currently valued at ₹1.21 lakh crore ($18 billion). Snapchat has filed for IPO and hopes to hit 1.70 lakh crore ($25 billion) in valuation.
Snap’s IPO itself is actually a fundraising event (in addition to getting shareholders some liquidity), which will give the company more cash in order to hunt down these acquisitions. To fill out the company’s ranks with talent or add products, Snap has started picking off startups and steps to become a larger company and being able to amass more of a cash pile.
Snap had acquired Looksery months ago, which at the time was reported to be for around $150 million. The filing confirmed the reported price. Snap acquired the company as part of its push to create animated lenses — another product that would help further increase engagement and stickiness for the app, which is what the company is pitching to advertisers as its core value. The Looksery acquisition was $79.4 million, with $71.2 million in retention bonuses.
Snap also acquired Bitstrips, the creators of Bitmoji personal avatars for $64.2 million, which looks like didn’t include any retention bonuses.
Snap then acquired Vurb, a mobile search engine that pulls info from partnered apps, for $114.5 million.
Snap also says it acquired a “research and development-driven computer vision software company” for around $47 million — this may be Seene, a startup that let mobile users create 3D selfies.
Beyond those acquisitions, Snap also said it was providing an additional $255.2 million in cash and stock as retention bonuses.

You can combine the features of AWS CloudTrail, Amazon CloudWatch Logs, and Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) that notify you when someone in your account tries to use a CMK that is pending deletion in a cryptographic operation. If you receive this notification, you might want to cancel deletion of the CMK and reconsider your decision to delete it.
The following procedures explain how to receive a notification whenever an AWS KMS API request that results in the "Key ARN is pending deletion" error message is written to your CloudTrail log files. This error message indicates that a person or application tried to use the CMK in a cryptographic operation (Encrypt, Decrypt, GenerateDataKey, GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext, and ReEncrypt). Because the notification is linked to the error message, it is not triggered when you use API operations that are permitted on CMKs that are pending deletion, such as ListKeys, CancelKeyDeletion, and PutKeyPolicy. To see a list of the AWS KMS API operations that return this error message, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key.
The notification email that you receive does not list the CMK or the cryptographic operation. You can find that information in your CloudTrail log. Instead, the email reports that the alarm state changed from OK to Alarm. For more information about CloudWatch Alarms and state changes, see Creating Amazon CloudWatch Alarms in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
Before you create a CloudWatch alarm, you must create an AWS CloudTrail trail and configure CloudTrail to deliver CloudTrail log files to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
CloudTrail is automatically enabled on your AWS account when you create the account. However, for an ongoing record of events in your account, including events for AWS KMS, create a trail.
Configure CloudTrail to deliver your log files CloudWatch Logs.
Configure delivery of your CloudTrail log files to CloudWatch Logs. This allows CloudWatch Logs to monitor the logs for AWS KMS API requests that attempt to use a CMK that is pending deletion.
To receive a notification when AWS KMS API requests attempt to use a CMK that is pending deletion in a cryptographic operation, create a CloudWatch alarm and configure notifications.
Use the Region selector on the upper right to choose the AWS Region you want to monitor.
In the left navigation pane, choose Logs.
In the list of Log Groups, choose the option button next to your log group. Then choose Create Metric Filter.
For Metric Namespace, type CloudTrailLogMetrics.
For Metric Name, type KMSKeyPendingDeletionErrorCount.
Choose Show advanced metric settings and for Metric Value, type 1, if this is not the current value.
In the filter box, choose Create Alarm.
In the Alarm Threshold section, for Name, type KMSKeyPendingDeletionErrorAlarm. You can also add an optional description.
Following Whenever, for is, choose >= and then type 1.
For 1 out of n datapoints, if necessary, type 1.
In the Additional settings section, for Treat missing data as, choose good (not breaching threshold).
To use a new Amazon SNS topic, choose New list, and then type a new topic name, such as KMSAlert. For Email list, type at least one email address. You can type more than one email address by separating them with commas.
To use an existing Amazon SNS topic, choose the name of the topic to use.
If you chose to send notifications to an email address, open the email message you receive from no-reply@sns.amazonaws.com with a subject "AWS Notification - Subscription Confirmation." Confirm your email address by choosing the Confirm subscription link in the email message.
You will not receive email notifications until after you have confirmed your email address.
After you complete this procedure, you will receive a notification each time this CloudWatch alarm enters the ALARM state. If you receive a notification for this alarm, it might mean that someone or something still needs to use this CMK. In that case, you should cancel deletion of the CMK to give yourself more time to determine whether you really want to delete it.
Kudo Tsunoda took a shot at the Wii when introducing Microsoft’s answer to motion control today.
“This isn’t a game where you end up on the sofa just kind of using some preset waggle commands,” the project’s creative director said, talking about a physically intense tech demo.
Indeed, the so-called “Project Natal” was impressive, at least from where I was sitting at Microsoft’s E3 press event. As rumored, the technology is a 3D motion-sensing camera that needs no other peripherals to operate.
Video demonstrations included a young man performing karate kicks against an on-screen opponent, his image duplicated onscreen with dead-on accuracy. In the next clip, a girl held her hands like a steering wheel and drove a race car. When she hit a pit stop, one of her family members ran up to the screen and made the motions of replacing a tire.
We also saw a couple of live demonstrations. In a full-bodied take on Breakout, a girl used her arms, legs and head to hit balls down a 3D corridor. Another demonstrator pretended to throw paint buckets at a screen and created live splatter art.
Finally, Fable 2 creator Peter Molyneux introduced “Milo,” a child that, in a video, interacted with a real woman. In the most impressive moment, she drew a picture, held it in front of the screen, and Milo took a virtual copy, recognizing the color and shape of the drawing. Milo will apparently be demonstrated to VIPs during E3.
Microsoft steered clear from any sort of release window for Project Natal. Everything shown was in prototype, and the initial video shown is “product vision” rather than real implementation. The closest we heard to a timetable is that development kits are going out now.
In my E3 wish list, I said I’d rather see Microsoft wait until the next console cycle to bust out motion control, but a comment by Don Mattrick, the Xbox division’s senior vice president, suggests that this technology will simply extend the life of the Xbox 360. It seems Microsoft is in no rush to move on to something else.
“We can leap into a new era of interactive entertainment without having to launch a new console,” he said.
You can see the concept video on YouTube.
Microsoft could have added some sort of virtual reality display goggles to tie into this system. It would have been easy for them to do. Wonder why they didn’t do it? Hard to believe they didn’t think of it.
M sandford we also must think that microsoft company also are being run by humans too and human also made mistakes too.
