The staff knew what they were talking about. Not only is the food here good, but only 2 of the many items are not gluten free, and those are set off to the side for safe keeping.
Super delicious and kids eat free so added bonus and no negative reaction from my sister with celiac definitely recommend!!
Not gluten free at all. Staff not educated as what is and isn’t gf.
They learned what GF is. Only the naan and samosas have gluten. Cafeteria style service, but naan and samosas are at the end of the line to minimize contamination risk. Fast & tasty.
There was a sign saying that they have gluten free food but I asked the employees and they didn’t even know what gluten is. Maybe they do have gluten free food but it’s useless if the employees aren’t trained to know what is gluten free. And that means no glove changing because they received zero training on it. False advertising.
they specifically told me that they don't provide gluten free food. I'm sure you could have a gluten free meal, but it wouldn't be celiac safe
very tasty and filling.
Check the gluten free menu online ahead of time, but a vast majority of the ingredients are gluten free. We refer to this as "Indian Chipotle", with great taste and price to match. Perfect for lunch if you're in the city sightseeing.
Pretty good americanized Indian menu. A nice faster food type place for Indian. All proteins and sauces are gf. Allergen list only so do your own homework.
Most menu items are gluten free but two of three associates I spoke with did not know about gluten or their allergen menu. Food was good but different from the traditional Indian flavors I'm use to.

Naked Protest on Speaker Boehner
best news story of the day. A group of naked protesters stormed into House Speaker John Boehner's office.
BuzzFeed reporter Chris Geidner, who was tweeting from the scene, reports that the protesters were demonstrating against budget cuts to federal funding to fight AIDS, and entered the office chanting: “Boehner, Boehner, don’t be a dick. Budget cuts will make us sick."No word on if Boehner wasat his office at the time of the protest. I imagine all the nudity would have made Boehner go from orange to beet red.

FRENDS 'GUTTER' REPLY
30th SEPTEMBER 1971
In Rolling Stone Magazine (dated 16th September 1971) Bolan having been asked about his former partner's whereabouts, replied:-
Two weeks later (30th September 1971) Frendz printed the following letter:
Of course what Bolan's new 'teenie bop' audience failed to grasp at the time was that Bolan had, himself lived in the same 'gutter' (Ladbroke Grove) during his Tyrannosaurus Rex years'. Then it had been good enough for Bolan even if he preferred to forget that phase of his life once stardom arrived. Steve Took's reply went largely unread by Bolan's 'teenie bop' audience who generally neither read or even knew about underground magazines like Frendz preferring the mass produced 'teenie bop' magazines of which 'Jackie' reigned supreme.
Bolan biographer's, coming as they did largely from the 'teenie bop' audience used sources they were aware of, and also sources which fitted the 'image' of Bolan they wished to preserve, so Took was dismissed as being in a 'gutter' and his letter of reply remained buried. It was reprinted in the #1 issue of the Pink Fairies Fanzine Kings of Oblivion edited by Paul Cox published as a limited edition run of just one hundred copies in 1976.
P.S. Yes he was! (The truth is the truth even if some don't like it!)

Current investment measures and regulations are enough to regulate Chinese investment and there is no need to turn them into formal laws, Minister of Economic Affairs Shih Yen-hsiang (施顏祥) said yesterday.
The Measures Governing Investment Permit to the People of the Mainland Area (大陸地區人民來台投資許可辦法) are administrative decrees, but are still stricter than the Statute for Investment by Foreign Nationals (外國人投資條例), Shih said at a hearing at the legislature.
Existing regulations can safeguard national security, he said, adding that the status quo should be maintained for the sake of administrative efficiency.
Opposition lawmakers appeared unconvinced and proposed codifying the measures into law as has been done with other investment statutes.
Democratic Progressive Party caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) said China has changed its strategic plan toward Taiwan from “attacking” to “buying,” and he said a law on Chinese investment is needed so that it would be subject to legislative supervision.
At present, Chinese investment is only regulated by administrative agencies, without legislative oversight.
Ker said the mechanism used to screen investments must be strengthened and he advocated drafting specific clauses listing the sectors in which Chinese investors are not permitted to invest.
Mainland Affairs Council Minister Wang Yu-chi (王郁琦) told the hearing that the opposition’s proposal would create an even more unfriendly environment toward Chinese investment in Taiwan.
Taiwan has opened its market to Chinese investment since 2009, but only drawn US$311 million in investment, government statistics show.
Wang said the government is moving toward a fourth phase of deregulation and liberalization of Chinese investments. It will make sure the relaxation does not result in a monopoly, hurt Taiwan’s economy, society and culture, or threaten the country’s national security and financial stability, he said.
A strict screening process will be maintained on individual investment projects, he said.
Wang said a task force under the Ministry of Economic Affairs is working on the details of the fourth phase of deregulation, which will be made public after the work is completed.
After three phases of liberalization over the past four years, Chinese capital has gained access to 97 percent of the business categories in Taiwan’s manufacturing sector, 51 percent of the service sector and 51 percent of the public infrastructure construction industry.
In his Double Ten National Day address President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) promised to eliminate investment barriers.

Several years ago, Don returned from a trip to Arizona wearing a t-shirt that said, “what happens in the desert, stays in the desert”. That’s more or less true. For the fifth consecutive year, I’ve returned to the north with part of my soul remaining behind. However, this year, with it being so dry in southeast Arizona, part of the desert tried to come home with me. My van is probably carrying a couple of pounds of red dust. It’s on and inside of everything, including the guitar, banjo and fiddle cases.
As most of you will know, this blog has been very quiet over the winter. In part, it was a case of me not feeling much like writing, but also due to preoccupation with the project that was alluded to in the previous blog post. After five years of renting a house in town, It seened time to move on. The rental house has been a good thing in my life — sort of like a big life raft floating serenely on the Sea of Chaos. However, now, with the old place at Round Hill gradually taking shape, it felt like the right time to leave the raft and swim off into a new adventure.
And so, after a bit of planning, Larry and I decided to get started building a small cabin in the desert. Just a simple place that would provide something of a home base in the southwest. Somewhere to hang a hat in the desert, when not off wandering elsewhere in the world.
We chose a location where we would be surrounded by nature – and it is, from just about the second you step out the door. It’s Chihuahuan desert, dominated by mesquite, whitethorn acacia, creosote bush, devil’s claw, yucca, and other arid land plants.
In places, ant hills scatter the sand like craters on a moonscape.
Footprints of javelina, fox, coyote, roadrunner, kangaroo rat, lizards, and other creatures form a network of trails. Kestrel, ravens, vultures, harriers, redtail hawks, and in winter, sandhill crane, glide and soar overrhead.
Every foray presents us with some new plant, creature, fascinating rock, or old relic from past. There is a 360 view of the sky. Sunrises, sunsets and clouds take on a greater significance. At night, the moon and stars take center stage.
The dogs love the freedom of racing down washes and around hummocks of mesquite – as do we.
The cabin is compact and simple – built strong and solid. Larry’s former days of building timber frame houses made it so. The exterior is of stucco – this photo taken after the second coat but before the final pigmented finish coat which, we hope, will be about the colour of dried grass in winter. It’s off the grid, so relies on solar for all power. It has a loft and will have steps and a porch out front. Larry has stayed on to complete the building while I return to work on the old house up north.
Before leaving, I made a circle of stones on a little rise above one of the more pronounced washes. Over a couple of days, I collected a about three dozen small boulders – the beginning of a pile that may be used to build a round structure as a place to paint and play music. That’s stuff for the future – next year and beyond…
Inside the circle, I arranged findings of the last few days’ walks before leaving. Compass-like, an odd rusty piece of metal points northeast. This summer in the north, I shall make another pointing southwest. It is good to have markers pointing the way home.
It’s been a long while – a very long while – since I posted anything here. No real explanation for my absence other than that I seem to have been preoccupied by a good many things and not in the mood for writing. I may be ready to write again.
Anyhow, I’m still in Bisbee, but leaving to head back north quite soon. I’ve been playing a lot of music. In fact, I’ll be playing music tonight – with the group of people I jam with a couple of times a week. We are a group of musicians who enjoy playing celtic music. Because we play down here in southeast Arizona, we call ourselves the Borderline Celts. Tonight, we’ll be playing together for a live broadcast on the local public radio station, KBRP.
There’s other news to write about, but I’ll do that some other time – hopefully soon.
For now, I just wanted to comment that playing music brings a lot to my life these days. It’s nice to get together with a bunch of good friends to play tunes for a couple of hours. We do it not just for the music, but for the camaraderie, I think. Music has always meant a lot to me – I began playing guitar at a young age, inspired by my parents who also played instruments. I first picked up the guitar after listening to my mom singing and playing folk songs during the 1960s. Both my parents loved to sing and I have many good memories of our musical household.
Anyhow, tonight also happens to be the 15th anniversary of my dad’s death. As some of you may know, I was his caregiver during the final couple of months of his life. He died in the arms of myself and my husband Don, who is also now gone. It’s sometime difficult to think of a way to remember someone – a suitable ritual. However, I think that playing music this evening may be just about the right way to remember my dad. I know he would have loved to be able to tune in to hear my friends and I playing celtic tunes on the radio.
As another summer comes to a close, it seems an appropriate time to look back on the house as it appeared when I first arrived here in Round Hill in April 2010 (see below – click on all photos for larger views).
What do you think? Four summers of plenty of sweat and elbow grease has made quite a difference! When I first arrived here, the old place was in a shambles. As many of you may remember, I bought it sight unseen other than through photos and video clips. Upon arrival, I wasn’t dismayed. In fact, the state of the house barely registered as I was still in that peculiar state of seething fury that sustained me during the first three or so years after Don’s death. Perhaps it’s good that I felt that way. Otherwise, I might well have abandoned this project as there was just so much to do in order to make the house even passably inhabitable. The truth is that living here has been a pretty spartan existence. Fortunately, that didn’t bother me much. Most of the time, I was entirely oblivious. I expect that my few-and-far-between visitors wondered if I was off my stick for staying here. Well, perhaps I was.
Anyhow, things are better now. Great strides have been made this summer. With the help of my spirit ally, Larry, many projects saw completion. I won’t go into a detailed enumeration, but suffice to say that the house is looking and feeling much happier these days.
And, things are finally to the point that I’ve even been inspired to get creative – painting floors and fish on doors – and so on.
One of the nicest projects was to get some new windows for the brook side of the house. The best of the original windows could then be added to those that I had been rebuilding for the front of the house. When I arrived in 2010, most of the front windows were a rotting, unsalvageable mess. However, now with the extras, I was able to assemble enough for the three front windows. I even had enough of the rippled antique panes of glass to fill all of the upper sashes. They look wonderful from inside the house – like looking out into a slightly watery impressionist painting. In daylight, the same panes throw beautiful shadows and reflections on the interior walls.
The collapsing cellar entrance is now well shored up with concrete and reinforcing rods. No longer must I worry about a cave-in on the way into the basement!
All in all, it’s been a terrific summer — between playing music with friends, cooking up the bounty of the prolific vegetable patch, and seeing the completion of a number of projects. It’s all been good. The forlorn old house has grown into a much happier place.

Concealed carry has changed a lot over the years. Travis takes us back to a bygone era with an old Kolb Mini.
Concealed carry, as we have it today, is a rather new advent. While its existed since guns have existed, there wasn’t necessarily a huge industry to support them. It’s always interesting to see guns from history that were specifically designed to be carried with ease. Today we are looking at a gun designed with the intent to be carried concealed, and it comes from 1910. It’s known as the Kolb Baby Hammerless, specifically the Small Frame First Model.
Kolb Mini Baby Hammerless – A Tiny Titan
In 1910 it’s probably safe to say that the Kolb Baby Hammerless was likely the smallest repeating firearm ever produced. Sure there were derringers, but they even tended to be longer than the Kolb guns. Colt had the Browning-invented 1908 Vest Pocket pistol, but it was much larger than the Kolb.
This little revolver is only 4.125 inches long overall, with a width of .825 inches and a height of three inches. The barrel is 1 ⅜ inches long. It’s a micro-sized gun that is what I describe as adorable. You can certainly see why they would call it a Mini Baby Hammerless. These guns came in a few different calibers, including .22LR and 32 S&W Short. However, the Small Frame First Model came in .22 Short.
With this being such a small gun, it’s not hard to see why they were popular. Gentlemen and even ladies of the era could drop one in their pocket and have something to deal with ruffians of all types. They didn’t take effort o carry, and at this time period, it bears mentioning that holsters weren’t designed with concealment in mind.
Vest pistols were called vest pistols because they dropped in the pocket of your vest, and that was it. There weren’t a ton of high-quality and awesome holsters out there to make concealing your favorite gun easy. These guns and their small size were a bit of a requirement.
Breaking down the Kolb Baby Hammerless
The Kolb Baby Hammerless looks a bit like an NAA revolver, right? NAA currently rules the teeny tiny gun market. The biggest difference between the Kol and the NAA guns is the fact that the Kolb is a double-action design. The NAA guns get to be ultra-small, and they are single-action guns that lack a trigger guard to make the size of the gun small. If it was a double action, there would be an inherent safety concern without a trigger guard.
Kolb dealt with this concern by using a folding trigger. The trigger folds up and forwards and out of the way. This makes the gun smaller and largely eliminates safety concerns. I wouldn’t carry the Kolb for several reasons, and I would never carry a gun without a holster, so the folding trigger isn’t a mainstream advantage in 2022. That double-action trigger is a bit of an advantage in terms of your rate of fire.
These guns feature tiny grips and tiny front sights. The cylinder can be loaded through the side gate, but to unlock the cylinder, you have to slightly pull the trigger and rotate the cylinder. You can then insert one round at a time. You can also remove the cylinder very easily to load the gun and to eject the old empties. Press the cylinder release, pull out the pin, and then remove the cylinder.
Shooting the Kolb
Taking the Kolb to the range is always an interesting event. Finding .22 Short can be tough as it’s not a popular caliber these days. Luckily it can be done, and I grabbed some CCI .22 Short. If you want the definition of anemic, then I’d show you .22 Short. This CCI is supposedly 1,105 feet per second. From a rifle, I’d buy that, but from the Kolb’s micro barrel, it’s likely much slower.
It’s pushing a 27-grain projectile, so it’s no powerhouse. From the Kolb, it’s a loud noisemaker. I doubt it has great terminal ballistics, but it’s kind of fun to shoot. Your finger sits right at the gap between the cylinder and barrel, so it gets a little spicey. It doesn’t hurt, but your finger will be black.
The trigger is heavy but surprisingly short. The sight is, well, it’s a sight, but this is more of a point-and-shoot affair. Measuring accuracy isn’t something that’s necessary here. You can hit a bad guy-sized person at close range, but you won’t split playing cards with the gun.
The Kolb Baby Hammerless is a neat oddity and a cool part of a time period most of us have little to no experience in. While it’s neat, I think I’ll stick to my P365 for daily carry.

People experiencing long COVID will benefit from a comprehensive package of new NIHR-funded research to help improve understanding of the condition, from diagnosis and treatment through to rehabilitation and recovery.
An extensive range of 15 projects from across the UK have been awarded a total of £19.6 million to examine causes of long COVID, trial drugs to tackle it, and investigate symptoms such as breathlessness and ‘brain fog’ that have become synonymous with the condition. Studies will also evaluate health services, such as long COVID clinics, and explore ways patients can monitor the condition to optimise their recovery and return to work.
Recent research shows that as many as a third of people who report being infected with the coronavirus also report long COVID. The condition can present with a number of ongoing symptoms including fatigue, breathlessness and cognitive impairment known as ‘brain fog’.
NIHR’s long COVID themed review, which considered over 300 papers and academic opinion pieces from across the world, indicated that long COVID could be up to four syndromes: post-ICU syndrome; long-term organ damage; post-viral syndrome, and, potentially, an entirely novel syndrome that could more specifically be identified as ‘long COVID’.
Health and Social Care Secretary, Sajid Javid, said: “Long COVID can have serious and debilitating long-term effects for thousands of people across the UK, which can make daily life extremely challenging. This new research is absolutely essential to improve diagnosis and treatments and will be life-changing for those who are battling long-term symptoms of the virus.
“It will build on our existing support with over 80 long COVID assessment services open across England as part of a £100 million expansion of care for those suffering from the condition, and over £50 million invested in research to better understand the lasting effects of this condition.”
Diagnosing and treating long COVID
One of the new studies, STIMULATE-ICP, led by University College London Hospitals NHS Trust and University College London, will be the largest long COVID trial to date, recruiting more than 4,500 people with the condition. With £6.8 million of funding, the project will test the effectiveness of existing drugs to treat long COVID by measuring the effect of 3 months’ treatment on symptoms, mental health and other outcomes such as returning to work. It will also assess the use of MRI scans to help diagnose potential organ damage, as well as enhanced rehabilitation through an app to track their symptoms.
Chief investigator, Professor Amitava Banerjee said: “Individuals with long COVID have long been asking for recognition, research and rehabilitation. In our two-year study across six clinical sites around England, we will be working with patients, health professionals, scientists across different disciplines, as well as industry partners, to test and evaluate a new ‘integrated care’ pathway from diagnosis to rehabilitation, and potential drug treatments.
The EXPLAIN project, led by Professor Fergus Gleeson at Oxford University and funded with £1.8 million, will seek to diagnose ongoing breathlessness in coronavirus patients who were not admitted to hospital, using MRI scans to trace inhaled gas moving into and out of the lungs to assess disease severity and whether breathlessness improves over time.
Prof Gleeson said: “Following on from our earlier work using hyperpolarised xenon MRI in patients following hospitalisation with COVID-19 pneumonia, where we showed that their lungs may be damaged even when all other tests were normal, it is critical to determine how many patients with long COVID and breathlessness have damaged lungs, and if and how long it takes for their lungs to recover.
"Hyperpolarised xenon MRI takes a few minutes and does not require radiation exposure, so it may be repeated over time to see lung changes. Using this technique, we can see if there has been damage to the airways in the lungs, or to the areas where oxygen crosses into the bloodstream, which appears to be the area damaged by COVID-19.”
NIHR’s commitment to long COVID research
The new funding has been awarded following a UK-wide call for ambitious and comprehensive research into understanding and addressing the longer term physical and mental health effects of COVID-19 in non-hospitalised people. It is a second slice of funding to research long COVID following a first round in February, which saw £18.5 million awarded to four projects.
Professor Nick Lemoine, Chair of NIHR’s long COVID funding committee and Medical Director of the NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN), said: “This package of research will provide much needed hope to people with long-term health problems after COVID-19, accelerating development of new ways to diagnose and treat long COVID, as well as how to configure healthcare services to provide the absolute best care.
“Together with our earlier round of funding, NIHR has invested millions into research covering the full gamut of causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of long COVID.”
“Long COVID has taken away time with my grandchildren”
Education consultant Penny Tassoni, 59, contracted COVID-19 in March 2020 and is still experiencing a variety of symptoms 16 months later.
Penny, who was awarded an MBE for services to early education in 2018, said: “When I caught COVID I was not hospitalised, but was close to it three times in the two-week acute phase. I was extremely weak following the infection, but over six weeks managed to get back onto my feet, quite literally, and to manage short walks and light physical activity.”
Yet last July she found herself suffering from persistent fatigue and pain in her legs, long-term symptoms that continue to affect her and have reduced her quality of life.
Penny added: “Before this I had a huge zest for life and people used to tell me to slow down. Now I live half a life rather than the full one I had before, and I have to pace myself and take regular naps. I can’t commit to go for a walk with anybody because I don’t know if it’s a day that I’m going to be too tired.
“Lack of energy means my husband and I can't offer the amount of time to have our grandchildren overnight, and they are a huge part of our lives.”
Earlier this year Penny volunteered to be a public contributor to help review research proposals submitted to NIHR’s second long COVID funding call. As she continues her recovery, she is hopeful that the new studies will help to provide answers for others with the condition.
“It has been a journey of discovery," she said, "and I welcome the prospect of joined-up robust research to allow a better understanding of the condition and funding that allows different approaches to be tested to see which one suits.”
The funded projects
STIMULATE-ICP (Symptoms, Trajectory, Inequalities and Management: Understanding Long-COVID to Address and Transform Existing Integrated Care Pathways)
Professor Amitava Bannerjee, University College London Hospitals NHS Trust - £6.8m
Developed with the help of patient organisations, this project will test the efficacy of existing drugs to treat long COVID, and measure the different effects of three months’ treatment on patients with regards to their symptoms, mental health and other outcomes such as returning to work.
It will also assess the use of MRI scans to help diagnose potential organ damage in those recovering from the coronavirus, as well as enhanced rehabilitation - the provision of joined-up specialist care centred around an app for patients allowing them to track their symptoms.
LOCOMOTION (long COVID multidisciplinary consortium: optimising treatments and services across the NHS) study
Dr Manoj Sivan, University of Leeds - £3.4m
This study focuses on identifying and promoting the most effective care for long COVID patients, ranging from accurate assessments in specialist clinics to the best advice and treatment in surgeries, as well as home monitoring methods that can show flare-ups of symptoms.
Drawing from the experiences of current long COVID patients and NHS professionals, the research aims to establish a gold standard of care that can be shared across England and the rest of the UK.
Analysis will be conducted in 10 long COVID clinics, at home and in doctors’ surgeries, and the study will track referrals and evaluate different services through patient interviews to make sure they are efficient, accessible and cost-effective. Specialists in healthcare inequality will also ensure that views are sought and recorded from people who are not visiting clinics.
EXPLAIN (Hyperpolarised xenon magnetic resonance pulmonary imaging in patients with Long-COVID)
Professor Fergus Gleeson, University of Oxford - £1.8m
The EXPLAIN project will seek to diagnose ongoing breathlessness in coronavirus patients who were not admitted to hospital, using MRI scans to trace inhaled xenon gas moving into and out of the lungs.
A 15-minute scan using low levels of the gas will display lung function and - if abnormalities are found - comparisons of data across different groups of participants recruited from Oxford and Sheffield can help assess their severity and whether they improve over time.
Some EXPLAIN patients will also have a separate scan to see if heart damage can be identified. If the MRI scans separate patients with and without lung disease, further CT scans can be analysed, using artificial intelligence and blood samples to identify associated conditions and inform the development of treatments.
CICERO (Cognitive Impairment in long COVID: PhEnotyping and RehabilitatiOn)
Dr Dennis Chan, University College London - £1.2m
Up to three quarters of people who experience long-term symptoms after COVID-19 report problems with memory, attention or other cognitive functions - symptoms known collectively as ‘brain fog’.
This project will first determine which elements of brain function are most affected in people with long COVID. The relationship between brain function and other symptoms of long COVID, such as fatigue and anxiety, will be explored, and MRI scanning will be used to identify the affected brain networks.
The researchers will then develop and test a new rehabilitation strategy to help people recover from the cognitive aspects of long COVID and return to normal life and working ability. This will support production of a freely available COVID-19 Cognitive Recovery Guide on how best to offer the new rehabilitation approach depending on the patient’s symptoms.
LISTEN (Long COVID Personalised Self-managemenT support - co-design and EvaluatioN)
Professor Fiona Jones, Kingston University - £1.1m
In recognition that each person with long COVID can experience markedly different symptoms, the LISTEN project will work in partnership with patients to design and evaluate a package of self-management support that can be tailored to individual needs.
The researchers will first work with people living with or recovered from long COVID, plus a social enterprise with expertise in reaching seldom heard populations, to design the package and associated patient and training resources.
The team will then test the self-management package alongside up to six one-to-one virtual coaching sessions from trained rehabilitation practitioners, to test whether the treatment improves how people with long COVID feel and how they cope with everyday activities. The researchers will also evaluate how the package could be implemented more widely, with the aim that self-management for people with long COVID can be delivered at scale.
ReDIRECT: Remote Diet Intervention to Reduce long Covid symptoms Trial
Dr David Blane, University of Glasgow - £999,679
The immunologic and virologic determinants of long COVID
Professor David Price, Cardiff University - £774,457
Quality-of-life in patients with long COVID: harnessing the scale of big data to quantify the health and economic costs
Dr Rosalind Eggo, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine - £674,679

RELATED ARTICLES: Vol. 3: Indonesians
Although the majority gains their livelihood from wet-rice cultivation, the Muslim peoples of Sulawesi's southwestern peninsula have long been renowned throughout the Indonesian archipelago as seafarers, whether as shipbuilders, traders, pirates, mercenaries, or migrants. While the Bugis, Makassarese, and Mandarese speak mutually unintelligible languages, they otherwise share so much in common that Indonesians often speak of one "Bugis-Makassar" ethnic group.
Austronesian-speaking agriculturalists entered Sulawesi from the Philippines about 4,000 years ago. In comparison with regions farther west, Indian civilization made little impact on early Sulawesi cultures, although pre-Islamic graves full of Chinese, Siamese, and Annamite porcelain attest to a bustling trade at this stopover on the route to the spice-rich Moluccas. First referred to in 14th century Javanese writings, the first kingdoms were founded on control of iron mines in eastern Luwu. Over the next three centuries, local rulers transformed village confederations into monarchies, basing claims to divine ancestry on possession of arajang, regalia believed to have descended from heaven.
Two of these kingdoms, Makassarese Gowa and Tallo, joined to form a power whose hegemony in the early 17th century extended far beyond the peninsula to coastal states in eastern Kalimantan, eastern Sulawesi, and the Lesser Sundas. Its capital, the fortified port city of Makassar, attracted Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Danes as well as Malays, Gujeratis, and Chinese eager to circumvent the monopoly that the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was then attempting to impose on the Moluccan spice trade. These widened contacts introduced South Sulawesi to Islam; Luwu converted in 1603, Gowa-Tallo two years later, and the other Bugis kingdoms shortly thereafter, upon being defeated by the Makassarese.
In 1615, Sultan Alauddin of Gowa replied thus to VOC envoys: "God made the land and the sea: the land He divided among men and the sea He gave in common. It has never been heard that anyone should be forbidden to sail the seas." The VOC succeeded in crushing this greatest obstacle to its monopoly only in alliance with Arung Palakka, a nobleman from the Bugis kingdom of Bone, who was able to gather a great army of Bugis resentful of Gowa dominance. As a VOC city rose on the ruins of Sultan Hasanuddin's capital, and power in the peninsula shifted to Bone, many Makassarese and Wajo Bugis found refuge elsewhere in the archipelago, the former fighting alongside other enemies of the Dutch and the latter founding dynasties as far away as Johor and Selangor on the Malay peninsula.
Outside of the VOC strongholds at Makassar and along the south coast, Dutch colonial rule came to South Sulawesi only in the first decades of the 20th century after a series of hard-fought wars from 1824 to 1906 (the last Mandar resistance ended in 1916). After 30 years of stability, Sulawesi again changed hands, falling under the administration of the Japanese Navy from 1942 to 1945. Although the nationalist movement had only the shallowest of roots there, a very effective guerrilla movement sprang up to fight the bloodiest Dutch counter-revolutionary campaign in the whole archipelago. However, even after the Dutch puppet-state of "East Indonesia," based in Makassar, dissolved itself on 17 August 1950, local strong-men who had seized power in the previous years of chaos were reluctant to move aside for the central government, and the central government in turn alienated much of the population by deflating hopes for an Islamic state and local autonomy. In July 1950, Kahar Muzakkar, a modernist Muslim leader and a revolutionary activist, launched a rebellion against the Jakarta government that only ended upon his death in 1965.
Under Suharto's New Order regime (1965–1998), economic development resumed in South Sulawesi, and a new commercial elite emerged to join bureaucrats, military officers, university graduates, and Islamic religious leaders in replacing the aristocracy that had lost power with the coming of the Indonesian independence. Despite the real progress made, South and West Sulawesi continue to lag behind parts of the country try with comparably dense populations and high incidences of poverty, such as Java and Bali. South Sulawesi has experienced a disproportionate amount of the collective violence occurring in Indonesia during the final years of the Suharto regime and immediately after and ranked third in number of incidents of inter-group or village brawls (132 in 1990-2003, compared to 193 for Central Java), as well as high in incidents of vigilante "popular justice" violence. The rioting that destroyed much of the Chinese section of Ujungpandang/Makassar in September 1997 as the Asian/global emerging markets financial crisis was making itself felt in Indonesia is only the most infamous example.
LOCATION AND HOMELAND
The topography of Sulawesi's southwestern peninsula ranges from the precipitously rising limestone mountains of the north to a broad plain in the center (its lakes are the remnants of a shallow sea) to a volcanic range in the south. December and January bring the heaviest monsoon rains, while the hottest and driest season runs from June to August. The 1.5 million Makassarese (Indonesia's thirteenth largest ethnic group) reside along the mountainous southernmost coast of the peninsula, on Selayar and other offshore islands, and on a bit of fertile lowland north of Makassar city. The 5 million Bugis (the country's eighth largest ethnic group) live to their north, stretching as far as the northern highlands and farming the peninsula's lowland midriff, eastern Indonesia's greatest rice-bowl (while linguistically closer to the Sa'dan Toraja, the Massenrempulu of the northern highlands and the Luwu at the head of the Gulf of Bone are usually classified as Bugis due to their adherence to Islam). The Mandarese (500,000) occupy the mountainous westward bulge of the island, comprising half of the population of the new province of West Sulawesi (separated from South Sulawesi in 2004).
In addition, Bugis communities (and to a lesser extent Makassarese) can be found scattered along the shores of eastern Indonesia's islands; they have traveled as far as the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and northern Australia and have settled in Sumatra, Malaya, and in the cities of Java. According to the 2000 census, Bugis, 42% of their ancestral province of South Sulawesi constitute the second largest ethnic group in the following provinces: 19% in Southeast Sulawesi; 14% in Central Sulawesi Tengah; and 18% in East Kalimantan Timur. An opposite movement has recently affected Luwu and Polewali Mamasa (directly east of the Mandar region): transmigrants from Java, Bali, and Lombok have compounded ethnic diversity in those areas. Makassar has long been a multiethnic city (the city's official name from 1971 to 1999, "Ujungpandang," recognized this reality); in addition to Makassarese, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja, its population includes Chinese, Javanese, Minahasans, Ambonese, and representatives of virtually every group in eastern Indonesia.
Buginese, Makassarese, Mandarese, and Sa'dan Toraja constitute a discrete group of closely related Austronesian languages. Regionally prestigious, Bugis has over 500,000 second-language speakers, and Makassarese has over 400,000 (this does not include the many ethnic Chinese in Makassar for whom Makassarese is the first language). As its lingua franca, the multiethnic city of Makassar has long had its own dialect of Malay, distinguishable from the now-common Bahasa Indonesia by, among other features, its use of Makassarese sentence-final particles (e.g., for "One only," "Satu ji" instead of the standard "Satu saja").
Reflecting Islam, personal names generally are Arabic in origin. Family names are not used.
Running to thousands of pages, the Bugis epic I La Galigo, the greatest repository of the pre-Islamic mythology common to all the peoples of South Sulawesi (including the Sa'dan Toraja), recounts the adventures of the Tomanurung, beings descended from heaven whom South Sulawesi's kings claimed as ancestors. The epic begins with Batara Guru, the eldest son of the principal god of the upperworld, descending through a bamboo tube to eastern Luwu, then creating the earth's flora and fauna. After he completes a 15-day fast, other heavenly beings join him to cultivate the earth, and his cousin, a princess of the underworld, emerges from the sea to marry him. The rest of the epic focuses on six generations of his descendants, beginning with his son Sawerigading who, unable to consummate his love for his twin sister, embarks on adventures in the upper, middle, and lower worlds, finally gaining the hand of the princess We Cudai'. They have a son, La Galigo, whose exploits in love and war occupy most of the remaining narrative.
Virtually all Makassarese, Bugis, and Mandarese adhere to Sunni Islam. These peoples are considered among the strongest believers of any in the archipelago, comparable in devotion to the Acehnese and the Minangkabau. Although Muslim Malay traders had sojourned in the peninsula's port since at least the 15th century, tradition attributes Islam's initial propagation to Minangkabau holy men arriving at the beginning of the 17th century.
Islam as practiced in South Sulawesi often includes elements of the pre-Islamic religion: offerings to ancestors and spirits of the sea, earth, and rice (an homage rendered also to Muslim saints); healing, agricultural, house-, and boatbuilding rituals; the care of saukang (supernaturally charged places); even a (now almost entirely vanished) transvestite priesthood (bissu) to care for the arajang regalia and perform oracles. In the 20th century, modernist Muslims, who considered many of the local traditions idolatrous, have worked with considerable success to eliminate them. However, pre-Islamic religious traditions are still observed by the To Lotang of Sidenreng (the government has classified their beliefs as Hinduism) and the Amma Towa of Bulukumba (who defend their identity as Muslims).
See the article entitled Indonesians.
RITES OF PASSAGE
Getting married among the Bugis and Makassarese entails the following steps. The man's family pays a formal visit to the woman's family to sound out the possibility of a union. If a proposal can be made, the man's family sends a representative to negotiate the bride-price, a wedding date, wedding expenses, and feast arrangements. After this, the wedding can be announced to all the kin of both sides. On the wedding day itself, the groom with a procession of kin, young and old, male and female, arrives at the bride's house bearing the bride-price, women's clothing, and different kinds of food. Then, the wedding ceremony itself follows. For the reception, guests are invited inside the house; they give presents or money (formerly, paddy fields, gardens, or livestock) as a kind of competition between the bride's and groom's sides. A few days after the wedding, the new couple visits first the groom's family and then the bride's, giving out presents to all family members. The couple stays with the bride's parents before setting up their own household.
If the woman's family refuses the man's proposal or sets the wedding expenses too high (a kind of subtle refusal), the couple may elope. The elopement causes the woman's family to lose face, and her male kin might pursue and kill the man, if they catch him. The man seeks the protection of a powerful person who will try to assuage the anger of the woman's side. If the woman's family shows signs of accepting the union after all, the man's family takes the initiative to make a reconciliation meeting.
For additional information on rites of passage, see the article on Indonesians.
The central value governing interpersonal relations is siri', a powerful sense of face that demands that the individual or the group strive as hard as possible to win prestige as well as uphold honor at all costs, even going as far as dying in the attempt to kill offending parties.
Traditional society distinguished three classes: nobility ("descendants of kings"); commoners ("freemen"); and slaves (war captives, violators of custom, and those selling themselves to pay debts). In the 20th century, the category of slave has disappeared. Noble titles (Karaenta, Puatta, Andi, Daeng, Puang) are still used, but, since World War II, education and bureaucratic position earn as much or more deference than ancestry alone.
Although linguistic etiquette is far simpler than in Java or Bali, one does modify one's speech according to whether the addressee is one's social superior, equal, or inferior: e.g., "Where are you coming from?" can be rendered in Bugis as Pole tegai petta? (deferential), Pole tegaki? (polite), or Pole tegako? (brusk, appropriate towards children or people of greatly inferior status). To show greater respect, euphemistic or indirect expressions can be employed: e.g., Leccekki yolo mabbura, "Please transfer there and take the remedy," rather than Lokkakki yolo manre, "Please go eat." To persons of the highest status, such as religious teachers or royalty, an appropriate greeting is to bow and kiss the person's hand.
Contact between unrelated members of the opposite sex outside the surveillance of older family members is still strongly discouraged, although modern education and work provide some opportunities for this. For a young man to show interest in a girl, one strategy acceptable to custom is for him to steal her underwear while she (covered in a sarong) is bathing by a river. He then returns the underwear to her without telling anyone else about it. If the theft does become known to others, the girl's family loses face and may harm the young man.
Villages consist of 10 to 200 houses facing either south or west or backing onto a river if there is one; a banyan tree and a mosque or prayer house lies at the town center..
Traditional wooden-frame houses are raised on 1.5-m to 2-m (5–7 ft) stilts. For floors and walls, richer houses use wood with zinc roofing, while poorer ones use bamboo with leaf-fiber roofing. The house is divided vertically into three parts: the spirit-inhabited area immediately under the roof; the middle area for human living; and the area under the house floor for storing tools and keeping animals. Horizontally, beginning in front facing the road, the house is partitioned into: an un-roofed veranda; a vestibule where the family relaxes and guests wait before being invited in; a second room where the family eats, containing heirloom weapons and the house's central pillar (the place of the house's protective spirit); and a sleeping room, further divided into a front section for the parents and a back section for the daughters (sons sleep on the front veranda or at the village mosque). Commoner houses will have one lower roof over the vestibule and another higher one over the rest of the house; aristocratic houses may have as many as five further roofs. Cooking takes place at the back or behind the house.
South Sulawesi, comprising the ancestral homelands of the Bugis and Makassarese, has a Human Development Index (combining measures of income, health, and education) of 68.1 (2005 score), while that of West Sulawesi, the homeland of the Mandar, is 65.7, both figures considerably lower than the national HDI of 69.6. South Sulawesi's GDP per capita is US6,913, relatively low for Indonesia (US9,784 for West Sumatra, US8,360 for North Sulawesi, but US6,293 for Central Java and US6,151 for West Nusa Tenggara).
Ideal (but not obligatory) marriage partners are cousins of the first, second, and third degrees; marriage with a sibling, a child of a sibling, or a grandchild, however, is taboo.
A household consists of one nuclear family, including grandparents and unmarried adult children. In wealthier urban households, relatives from the countryside may stay for considerable lengths of time, joining in household chores. Traditionally, husbands and wives address each other respectively as "Father of [child's name]" or "Mother of [child's name]," e.g., in Bugis, "Ambonna/Ambenna Beddu" or "Indonna/Emmakna Beddu" (Beddu being the child). Parents call sons "Baco" and call girls "Becce." Children address fathers with a variety of titles (Ambo, Abba, Puang, Petta, and others) and mothers with Indo, Emmak, Ummi/Mi or a shortened form of the mother's name (e.g., "Lima" for "Halimah"). Older siblings call younger ones by their name or with Anri; younger siblings address older ones with Kaka, Daeng, or sometimes with their name.
House clothes are shorts with or without a shirt for boys, and a shirt and a skirt down to the knees for girls. Adult men wear a plaid-patterned sarong with or without a sleeveless undershirt, while adult women wear a batik sarong with a kebaya blouse or a shirt with sleeves down to the elbow. In contrast to the practice elsewhere in Indonesia, men and women both wear the same type of tubular sarong, the only difference being that traditionally men kept the sarong in place with a knot while women draped the edge over their right forearm.
For male street wear, although Western-style trousers and shirts are common, so too is the sarong with a long- or short-sleeved shirt. It is impolite to go out in public without a head-covering (a black velvet cap, a white hajji cap, or, now rarely, the sangkok rucca, a traditional brimless, flat-topped cap woven of palm-leaf fibers). For traditional ceremonies, a man adds a buttoned-up jacket to the shirt and sarong (often silk).
Female street wear consists of the sarong-blouse combination or modest Western dress. Traditional clothing, now largely ceremonial, is a silk sarong with a baju bodo, a blouse with wide, short sleeves (now over an undershirt). Before Indonesian independence (much less so now), the color of the baju bodo had to fit age and status: light reds for teenage girls and still-childless married women; dark reds for married women with children; green for the daughters of aristocratic families; purple for widows; white for nursemaids; and black for the elderly.
Daily food consists of rice with fish, soupy vegetables, pickles, and chili sauce. Grilled fish, shrimp, and other seafood eaten with dipping sauces are popular, as are curries and meats stewed in coconut milk. Nationally famous are the region's sweets and cakes, konro Makassar (a beef-rib soup), and coto Makassar (a soup of water-buffalo lungs, intestines, liver, and tripe eaten with rice steamed in palm leaf packets).
Men eat first in the front room of the house, while women eat later there or in the kitchen. According to folk belief, one should close windows and doors before eating.
In 2005, South Sulawesi's level of literacy stood at 84.6%, low by Indonesian national standards and even below other densely populated provinces with large numbers of poor, such as East Java and Bali. (See the article entitled Indonesians. )
Played solo or in small ensembles, traditional musical instruments include the drum, gong, kesokeso (a two-string vertical fiddle with a pot-bellied soundbox), a boat-shaped zither (ke-cape in Bugis or kacaping in Makassarese), the pui-pui (a high-pitched oboe-like instrument), and the Mandarese jarumbing (a pronged bamboo cane). Popular songs following national or international models are sung in the local languages, such as in the genre lagu Makassar.
Traditional dances divide into court and folk dances. Among the former are the Bugis Pajaga (danced by 12 aristocratic girls), the Makassarese Pakarena (12 girls and 12 boys), and the Mandarese Pattudu (6 to 8 girls); these contrast the restrained movements of the dancers with dynamic drumming. A similar aesthetic governs a wedding dance in which the bride remains impassive while being taunted by a pair of older male dancers. Folk dances include martial dances accompanied by the rebana flat drum, the Pattenung depicting weaving, the Mappuka, which imitates fishing, the Bugis Mappadendang harvest dance (an occasion for much horseplay among young man), and the Makassarese Ganrang Bulo, a highly syncopated dance with young boys beating time with bamboo rods.
The Bugis and Makassarese have written extensive literatures in their own script called aksara lontara', after the lontar palm leaves used as paper (the Gowa king Daeng Pamatte standardized the letters in the 16th century). This literature encompasses customary regulations, augury books (especially for planting and harvesting times), genealogies, dynastic origin myths, factual chronicles, and court diaries (the last two genres are unique in Indonesia).
There is also a religious literature written in Arabic-derived letters called aksara serang, presumably introduced via Seram in the Moluccas. Local literary works were also composed in Malay, the most famous being the Sya'ir Perang Mangkasara about the defense of Makassar against the Dutch.
In earlier times, South Sulawesi exported rice, livestock, and dried fish to the food-deficient Eastern Kalimantan, Southeast Sulawesi, and the Moluccas. Decades of warfare ending only in the mid-1960s left the province among the poorest in Indonesia, and income remains below the national average, though it is rising rapidly as the region begins to fulfill its potential as eastern Indonesia's service and production center. In the past, the Bugis in particular have been dependent on rice cultivation for a livelihood but now are diversifying into coconuts, coffee, cloves, kapok, candlenut, and tobacco. Erosion caused by deforestation, however, threatens agricultural expansion. Fishing, and the collection of sea products such as sea cucumber for the Chinese market, is also an important occupation, particularly among the Makassarese and Mandarese.
Unlike certain other groups such as the Javanese, there is no prejudice against manual labor; what is important in a job is the extent to which one is free of other's commands.
One traditional sport is paraga in which boys or young men attempt to keep a rattan-work ball in the air with their feet to the sound of the drum and pui-pui playing.

FOLK ART, CRAFTS, AND HOBBIES
The first European travelers admired the region's boat builders, the premier center being Bira at the southwestern tip of the peninsula with its access to the ironwood of Bulukumba and Selayar. Bira boatbuilding teams travel all over the peninsula and even to Kalimantan and Java in order to sell their skills. The boats are built from memory without written designs and with the simplest tools: a vertical saw, hand drill, adze, and a plane, and no nails. Only bolts are used to secure ribs to the hull. Traditional boat-types include the large, elegant pinisi and smaller outriggered lepa-lepa and sande. Today, the biggest boats are motorized and reach 500 tons.
Until the early 20th century, South Sulawesi exported silk and cotton; weaving still provides supplementary income for village women. Two styles are best known: sarong Mandar, cloth of very fine weave with checkered patterns in sober colors, widely traded in the archipelago; and sarong Bugis, brilliantly colored silk cloth with large patterns reminiscent of Thai fabrics.
Other highly developed crafts are blacksmithing (now using scrap metal rather than freshly mined ore), gold- and silver smithing (a specialty being fine filigree work), and mat- and basket-weaving.
See the article entitled Indonesians.
South Sulawesi's Gender-Related Development Index (combining measures of women's health, education, and income relative to men's) is 56.9, significantly below Indonesia's national GDI of 59.2. The province's Gender Empowerment Measure (reflecting women's participation and power in political and economic life relative to men's) is 45.6, also lower than the national GEM of 54.6.
According to anthropologist Christian Pelras, Bugis culture overall emphasizes the equality and complementarities of the two genders, despite Islamic influence often appearing to put men in the foreground and women in the background. The freedom and power of women in Bugis society struck early European observers; many instances are known of woman rulers (even one ruling her kingdom without interference from her husband, the ruler of another kingdom!) and woman warriors (female fighters participated in the Indonesian struggle for independence and female squads fought in the rebellions of the early post-colonial years). The strict barriers between classes in traditional Bugis society actually permitted a woman ruler to have men of lower rank, men who could never marry her, as her vassals or retainers. Although village leadership tends to be male, these male leaders are called "mothers of the people," another indication that political power and womanhood are not considered incompatible.
Women are not regarded as inherently weaker or more delicate than men (one type of "women's work," pounding rice, is very physically demanding). In the first years of his marriage, a man generally moves into his wife's parents' house and for that reason is not likely to be domineering towards his wife. The home is the domain of the wife, but this does not mean that the wife does not contribute to the family's economic livelihood; on the contrary, she, in addition to helping out with farming, engages in weaving, petty trade, or other activities to bring in income (in the case of fishing families, it is the wife who supports the family while the husband goes to sea, his earnings going largely to sustain him while he is away from home with the surplus he brings back serving as a mere supplement to family resources).

I hosted Thanksgiving at my apartment this year – my first year of officially hosting. My brother flew in from Providence, Rhode Island and my parents drove in from Iowa. We had 11 people eating with us (friends-who-are-like-family) and later, more friends joined for dessert, leftovers and wine. Here is our menu and enjoy our day through a culinary, photographic tour.
- Dates stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon thanks to Ashalah.
- Homemade Cranberry Sauce
- Homemade Sweet Potato Rolls
- Vegetarian gravy
- Turkey gravy
- Salad with pomegranate, feta and avocado
- Vegetarian Lasagna. My mother’s homemade vegetarian, spinach lasagna. It’s filling and our Italian version of Thanksgiving.
- Mashed Potatoes. I made this easy, but perfect dish.
- Fingerling mustardy potatoes with crème fraîche, topped with green beans. I made this dish via TastingTable.
- Fresh, Organic Turkey 15 lbs. The man made, local, organic, free-range turkey. We let the turkey brine over night and then made a garlic, butter and olive oil sauce the day-of to coat the inside, skin and outside of Turkey and with herbs de provence. We also roasted apples, potatoes, garlic and onion with the turkey.
- Tofurkey. For the vegetarian friendly, my brother made an incredible tofurkey, stuffed and baked. Even the carnivores loved this dish.
- Roasted Kale with balsamic
- Roasted brussell sprouts
- Baked sweet potatoes
- Vegan Pumpkin Pie. The infamous vegan pie that was posted here by my roommate.
- Apple Pie with Caramel (times two)
- Homemade Whipped Cream
Oh, and there was wine. Plenty of it. We even had Kombucha, fresh brewed and made from Monica for a perfect Boulder Thanksgiving. What did you make on Thanksgiving? Anything unusual not on the traditional menu? What is your favorite dish?


I have been using the tool TeamViewer for remote support a few times. And for creating an easy connection to a customers desktop, then I really haven’t tried anything as simple. Or to connect to your mothers PC to help her make her mail work! It’s as simple as she understand it also.
But now my 30 day trial period has expired and I’m looking to see if there are other systems which are cheaper to buy, but who does the same job. As my use is really 90% private (most of my customers have either Citrix or Remote Desktop Connection to their server) then the almost 400 EUR is quite a lot.
I know it’s also possible to use the build-in functions of windows, but this requires setup and so, which automatically excludes most of my family members when they have a problem.
When mom & dad need help in Fla. I set them up with UltraVNC. All they have to do install the “server” part and give it a password. Once done they send me their IP address. You can connect two ways 1- the client you can download or using java with http://theiripaddress:5800/
Teamviewer is free for private use [:D] So there should nothing “expire”.
On the other hand, the life time license for only 400 Euro is a bargain for professional use.
I have been trying several different tools (like DeskShare, VNC, NetSupport and others) and Teamviewer was the most reliable and fastest tool.
I was going with the thought that he was just looking for some quick & easy way to connect to another pc.
We use it at work by having 1 computer that connects to the internet->once logged into that PC you can use UltraVNC from that one to connect to any other in the network.
Each has to has UltraVNC server installed & boots on startup as a service.
or we can use RDC once connected to the Internet gateway, blah blah.
So from Home I can connect to ourt work Gateway computer->which then I can get to my office pc->and from my office pc I can get->to a warehouse pc. Like a daisy chain. Works fine for our needs.
We have being using Teamviewer for three years and have upgraded to Version 5 recently. This allow you to store the IDs centerally and build up a database of connections. With the full version you can also apply your own logo to the client PC install and it can be branded as your own remote support tool. Also there is a handy server install that you can install on the client server (with their agreement) and connect at any time.
If TeamViewer expired for you, you happened to download trial full version then. The “free for personal use” is another download. As said here already, it has less features, but nevertheless it’s enough, it includes FileTrasfer, too.
I don’t know the technical side, how it is achieved, but TV really goes through all possible firewalls, seemingly it uses numerous methods and tries while some works. The only other such program I know is Skype - our admins --and they are really smart guys-- gave up after a month trying to block these two. What they found out, was that for every session the method is randomly chosen, both TV & Skype do not stick to once found working method. The only drawback - TV is not a peer-to-peer connection, you work through their servers.
And yes, besides other cases, I use TV regularily, when mom calls me with text I can’t find my Solitaire again… [:)]
In addition - TV does not neccesarily have client and server, it’s the same one.
@Thomas - we installed TV on 3 workstations behind FWs, Cisco high-end routers etc etc in TWO offices, and then daisychained them in a following manner:
PC1-Office1 > PC1-O2 > PC2-O1 > PC2-O2… kinda zig-zag thru all these FWs and it WORKED even in this awkward configuration! bear in mind, the zig-zag was even more complicated, because every connection actually went thru TV servers, not peer-to-peer.

Kia unveils the Cross GT concept
Cast your minds back to September 2011, for that was when Kia chose to discard its Shield Of Sensibleness And Mediocrity and pick up its Flying Sword Of Fighty Powerful Concept Which Tickles Eyes.
Yes, it was autumn 2011 we first saw the rather tasty Kia GT concept: a 3.3-litre, 390bhp rear-wheel-drive sports saloon. Well folks, this is that car, but a bit more grown-up. Meet the Kia Cross GT concept.
It sits on the same chassis as the Kia GT concept, but ditches the saloon’s rear-wheel-drive for a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. It’s also packing a 3.8-litre V6 engine and “pancake-shaped” electric motor snuggled between engine and eight-speed automatic gearbox, producing 400bhp and some 500lb ft of torque in total.No word on performance, but we’re told it packs enough battery power to travel 20 miles on electric power alone. Kia reckons this hybrid technology may one day find its way into production models. We eagerly await this day.
Size-wise, the Cross GT is longer, wider and shorter than the Kia Sorento, with space for four adults and their cargo, all tucked inside a ‘greenhouse’ style cabin. The doors are of the rear-hinged ‘suicide’ variety, instantly worth at least half-a-dozen cool points. And, you have to say, it’s a fine-looking thing. Thank Kia’s new president and design chief Peter Schreyer (yes, him what styled the Audi TT), who says the Cross GT could hint at a premium Kia SUV.
“The debut of the Kia GT in 2011 heralded a new frontier for Kia,” Schreyer notes. “The Cross GT allows us to envision the GT in the form of a full-size luxury crossover”.
Do you approve of this luxurious, crossovery form-envisioning? Let us know below.

SOLD! New England Soups From the Sea (by Craig Fear)
Most people today can name only two New England seafood soups: clam chowder, and lobster bisque. New England Soups From the Sea sets out to change that.
Historical cookbooks showcase a time when Americans living on the east coast embraced the bounty of the sea, and everything was fair game for the soup pot. The Soup Book, published in 1949 by chef Louis deGouy, contains one hundred chowder recipes—and just six use clams! But in the twentieth century, the food industry simplified our eating habits and eroded our regional food traditions. A generation of Americans grew up thinking “seafood” meant fish sticks and tinned tuna, and “New England” meant clam chowder and lobster bisque.
New England Soups From the Sea makes the case that today, amidst a renaissance of regional food traditions through the locavore movement, is the right time for both a rediscovery of traditional recipes and for creating forward-thinking contemporary recipes. It features eighty recipes, from classics like Rhode Island clam chowder and Maine lobster stew to rediscovered and reinvented delights like curried squid chowder and scallop bisque with sage. With chapters on seafood broths and stocks, chowders, brothy soups, bisques, classic stews, and shellfish boils, this will be the first comprehensive cookbook of the seafood soups of New England.
Craig Fear is a food writer, blogger, and cookbook author based in western Massachusetts. He became a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in 2008, and his first book, The 30-Day
Heartburn Solution, has helped thousands of people treat chronic heartburn and acid reflux
through simple dietary changes. Craig is also the author of two soup cookbooks, Fearless Broths and Soups and The Thai Soup Secret. His intense passion for all things seafood stems in part from his time living in Homer, Alaska, a coastal fishing village, where he worked in a seafood restaurant and regularly fished for salmon and halibut. Craig's website is Fearless Eating.
I absolutely loved Craig's proposal from the get-go, not least because it reminded me of the many happy summers I spent on Martha's Vineyard growing up. So I'm really pleased that New England Soups From the Sea will be published by Countryman Press, an excellent imprint of W. W. Norton & Company with many related titles, including the Maine Farm Table Cookbook and The New England Seafood Markets Cookbook. Here is the official Publishers Marketplace deal memo:
Congratulations to Craig and his editor at Countryman, Isabel McCarthy!

The great varieties of water-birds that exist are indicative of the rich biodiversity of avian fauna.
The taxonomists have put the water-birds into 10 groups. All birds associated with the sea have been put under marine birds.
The waders, a few type of gulls and Auks that nest on cliffs have been classified as Shorebirds. The ducks, geese, swans and screamers have been put in yet another category.
The Grebes and Loons have been classified separately with separate ‘orders’ of their own. The storks, herons, egrets, ibises and spoonbills have been put in a category. The Pelicans and Flamingos have put in two different categories.
The kingfishers and the terns have been given a class of their own. The Cattle Egret and the Herons both belong to the same category and are seen moving around without much threat to their lives.
The Plovers are shorebirds that are not hunted and have the freedom to move around near human habitats.
The ducks are however highly threatened because they are hunted for their meat. But the plight of the domestic ducks seems to be worse than their wild counter parts. They are crammed into cages and subjected to a lot of duress before being put out of their misery.

DBQ: Republicans V.S, Federalists
Before 1801, the Jeffersonian Republicans were usually strict constructionists of the constitution. However during the presidencies of Jefferson and Madison they had to adopt some Federalist ideas. In many instances, the two parties completely interchanged their views on the construction of the constitution. During that period of time it was difficult to characterize anyone as a member of either the Federalist or Republican Party based on how they interpreted the constitution.
The best example of Jefferson adopting Federalist ideas is the Louisiana Purchase. From the beginning Jefferson only wanted New Orleans and as much land east if the Florida as possible. However instead he was offered the New Orleans and a huge portion of land to the west, which almost doubled the size of the United States. However there was nothing in the constitution, which allowed the president to purchase of additional land. Jefferson knew that American farmers needed more land, and he had to go against his belief of a strict constitution. However during the same time the Federalists became strict constructionists of the constitution. They argued that this transfer of land was unconstitutional. The Federalists said that this new land was worthless and would only put the country even more in debt. Their main reason for that was that the creation of new states would decrease their power in congress. The Louisiana Purchase was not the only time Jefferson adopted the ideas of federalists about loose construction of the constitution. After he was reelected, war soon broke out in Europe between English and French. British needed more manpower and financial aid for the war soon began impressing American sailors and stealing their cargo. This made trade between the United States and Europe unsafe. Jefferson did not wish to go to war, so he decided to cut off al the export of goods from the United States. With the passing of...
