Two components this week! Pizza dough and confit. What do we need to know to make it delicious? Do you need help? Ask away!
33 thoughts on "P & Q: Pizza with Onion Confit"
Just finished making the onion confit. It was very easy to make and I believe it makes more than enough. The pizza dough is going through the second rise and it too was easy to work with. I plan to freeze half the dough and refrigerate the other half for pizza for tomorrow night's dinner.
Just pulled half of the dough out of the refrigerator and now have it on the counter to warm up before using it for tonight's dinner.
In terms of making it better, the number one tip is to bake the pizza on a stone. Old Stone Oven makes a very good one, nice and thick which retains heat well.
If you assemble the pizza on a peel, make sure it's dusted well with cornmeal or flour and test that it will slide off. The longer the dough stays on the peel, and the more you pile onto the pizza, the more likely it is to stick.
Alternatively, you can make the pizza on parchment. It will toast, but not ignite in the oven, though not where the crust is in contact.
Ups…I didn't like it that much!
The confit: I did not like it. I prefer the traditional pizza with tomatoe sauce (not ketchup), mozzarella and and everything else…
The dough: don't want to look "arrogant", but I have a better recipe (I was born and grew up close to the Italian border and I'm probably spoiled when it comes to a real good Pizza).
There's a second recipe I use when it comes to rush hours: ready in 2 h!
(I made one with tons of vegetable, don't be afraid, just look at the pizza dough)
I usually bake my pizzas on pizza stone (not the huge ones), dusting the peel with all purpose flour (no parchment paper).
When I bought the stone they told me that if my pizza was too "wet" I could let it bake for a couple of min on parchement paper but to take it absolutely away after that time: it works perfect. The stone dries the dough and make it "pizzeria like".
Hope you all loved it, more than I did.
All the best and happy new year!
In regard to saving a small piece of the dough for the "Mixed Starter Bread" on page 113 – how small is small, and can it be frozen for later?
Pg 114 says a chunk the size of a walnut or 1/2 ounce from the already raised dough. That doesn't seem like very much but that is what I am going to chunk off.
Oh noo! I wanted to do it, but I remembered just when the pizza was in the oven! ups!
Wow. The confit is delish! Wish I had not halved the recipe. This would taste really good on a baguette with goat cheese..
Poor me, I did not like it.
I have a question: do really 4 medium US onions weight 2 1/2 pounds?
Wow they must be giants compared to ours.
Those of you that use blogger – are you having problems with loading pics? It will not allow me to even open pictures to view.
No problems so far. Hope "your" blogger is working by now, Cathleen.
I had the same problem inserting pictures. I finally figured out if you put your desired photos in a web album, then you can access them and put them in your blog. I was able to create the web album from my Picasa program. Hope this helps
Oops! Don't have Creme de Cassis. Is there an alternative?
Per tablespoon cassis substitute 1 tablespoon black currant syrup OR 1 tablespoon raspberry liqueur.

Hmmm… my dough seems dry. I added a bit more water and olive oil to the dough as I was mixing the 2nd lot of flour in. I hope it's ok. I am too jetlagged to start again!
I've made this pizza dough many, many times. In a break from my normal routine, I found some high gluten flour and used it, as well as giving the sponge and extended rise/ferment in the fridge.
Probably on account of the different flour, my dough was very, very stiff, even with only 2 cups added to the sponge.
I'm returning after a break. My dough is chilled, I'll make the pizza on Monday. I'm cooking the onion confit and it seems more poached that carmelized , anyone have any comments on how the onions should look?

Greg KInnear and Alan Arkin had such a good time on "Little Miss Sunshine," they decided to step onto some thin ice together.
The two Academy Award-nominated actors, who co-starred in the 2006 indie darling which delivered Arkin's Oscar, appear together anew in the comedically tinged crime caper "Thin Ice," with Kinnear playing a desperate and not-so-scrupulous Wisconsin insurance agent who schemes and scams to swipe a valuable violin in the position of Arkin's elderly eccentric. PopcornBiz found the actors enjoying a warm reunion, despite their frigid working conditions.
What is it about pairing of the two of you that brought you back together for "Thin Ice"?
Kinnear: Alan loves me. He has said repeatedly that other actors are interesting in their own way – and I'm paraphrasing – but no one aspires to the artistic greatness of Greg. And through searching for it. I shall just attach myself to it and it will be easier. Is it something like that?
Arkin: I did say that, but I don't think that was about you.
Kinnear: Oh, that's right it was about Steve Carrel. Alan sent me the script of 'Thin Ice.' He was good enough to send me the script and said, 'Hey, this is an interesting little piece and the guy, as you see, is somewhat despicable.' I don't know what Alan sees in me that necessarily conjured me up for the role, but I was quite taken with it. I thought that it was a really interesting story and fun and a chance, obviously, for us to work together again. We had fun in spite of the cold. If you have fun on a movie in this kind of temperature you're having a hell of a time.
Have you two developed an acting shorthand now?
Arkin: Well, I think it took a little more time than just two movies, but certainly my idea of heaven is working with people again, because you get through the first arc of an experience and then you start to know somebody. So we could take more liberties with each other the second time. The first time you work with somebody, you have your hat in your hand and you say, 'Do you mind? Are you comfortable with this?' With Greg on this, and then the other times that I've worked with people a second or a third time, you can say 'Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we…blah, blah, blah?' You can just take more liberties.
What was brand new or what did you not know about each other that you learned on this film?
Arkin: Well, I learned the extent of the punishment that Greg could take without complaining. I mean, I had an inkling of it with 'Little Miss Sunshine.' We'd be locked in that damn bus six hours at a time in a 110 degree heat with no air conditioning and it was rough, but nobody every complained. So we were all in that together. In this I saw Greg come out of two nights work where he was working in 20-below weather with no thermal underwear or anything like that, just a thin suit on. He never complained, and I said, 'Man, he's even more dedicated than I thought.' I knew he was dedicated, but this was more…so, I knew that I could beat him up a lot.
Kinnear: I may have had thermal underwear on, just so you know. This rumor about me not having thermal underwear on…
Greg, you graduated as a journalism major. Did you ever take formal acting classes and how did your background help you as an actor?
Kinnear: Not really any formal training to speak of. I started in college as a drama major and I had a few drama classes, but no, most of it has been real-time experience. That makes it sound better! And then on the other side, yes, I spent quite a few years hosting different shows and stuff, and I guess there was some comfortable element around the camera. I do think that helped a lot, the idea of that experience. Most of my experience as a host was looking directly at the camera and talking right to it, so I keep looking for a movie where I get to talk to the camera and I've never gotten one. I got one line in one movie years ago where I got to say something to the camera. But it's a learning process still for me. I think I just basically steal from great actors like Alan and take everything I can, load it up in my little leather satchel and head on to the next one.
Do you ever want to do interviews again?
Kinnear: Sure, yeah. I would. I guess the right format and the right venue, but oh, yeah, I still find myself painfully jealous of Charlie Rose.
You've both been a part of the Oscars and award seasons, campaigning for films. What was the unexpectedly enjoyable part of that process, and what was the part that you could've lived without?
Kinnear: The whole thing is great. It really is. I think when you do movies and certainly any of them and that they find themselves percolating in that spot where they get noticed and talked about, it's fun and it feels rewarding. The great thing is that it turns in to one great big party who usually when you finish a movie it's like, 'See you,' and that's the end of that. But it does kind of keep the group together through that process. And did you ask what's bad about it? You gain weight. How many dinners can you sit in? 'I'll take the beef chops, please. What's that? Pie ala mode first.'
Arkin: Last night I thought about it. It was three years ago and I was just sitting and musing about it, like, 'What if any of this has really been enjoyable?' I thought and I thought and I thought about it – and I think maybe it's trite and maybe you won't believe me, but I swear it's true: the only real joy that I've ever gotten out of any of it was the moment of nomination. That's a moment of sheer delight and surprise and feeling like you're a part of something and part of a group of people, most of whom you admire if not all of them, but at least most of them. And the rest I think is nonsense, because the rest…that makes you a part of something. The rest of it is isolating and I don't believe that isolation is real. If you win you think you're special and that lasts for about ten minutes.
Kinnear: You were unbearable for those ten minutes.
Arkin: And if you lose you think you're a failure which is madness. So the moment of nomination is really, really…no, that's not true. Also, the phone calls that I got from people afterwards, people I hadn't spoken to or thought about sometimes in years and years and years. I have a hard time, it's my own issue, but I have a hard time accepting people's caring about me. That's something that I tend to carry and I could not avoid it, recognizing that there were people who cared that I had won. It was such a barrage that I was very moved for a long time by that. That was the high for me.
Greg, there was so much turmoil surrounding 'The Kennedys' before it got on the air. How gratifying was it to you to see not only how well the show was received by the public, but all of the subsequent acclaim and the accolades?
Kinnear: [Alan and I had] talked about it and I was struggling with whether or not to do it because I was overwhelmed at the idea of taking on a role like that. Doing it and working with Barry [Pepper] and Tom Wilkinson and Katie [Holmes] and a really good group of actors, I had a great experience doing that and I was glad ultimately that I did it. I was shocked with what happened, and I think the crew, like a 150 people, really, really worked hard on the movie to tell the best story that we all could. We're all big Reelz Channel fans now. We're a little disheartened, but I don't really know what happened. I still to this day get asked, well, what did happen and there's been some interesting stories written about it, but what took place or who the characters were behind what took place…I keep waiting for the quintessential great article to come out and say, 'Here's what happened.' 'People' magazine said it was the second biggest television story of last year, and yet nobody has done this incredible, I think incredible story to tell exactly what happened and why a show of that size would've been moved and lost it's channel space, but I look forward to that.

Did you know that when you purchase a home, you can benefit from tax breaks?
Buying your first home is a big step. When you go from renting to purchasing a home, you begin to build equity in real estate. With the very low interest rates right now, some people even save money from their rent payments when they purchase a home. You also save on taxes as you will typically itemize your taxes rather than claiming under standard deduction.
Deducting mortgage interest is the largest tax break you will receive from owning a home when you itemize your taxes. The bulk of your mortgage payment goes to interest – and all of that interest is deductible, unless the loan is more than $1 million.
You can also claim the property taxes you pay as an income tax deduction which can apply to your principal home and any others you may own.
If you move, you can even write off most of your moving costs if you buy a new home that is 50 miles or closer to your job than your old home. However, you must continue to work full time for 39 weeks in the general area during the following year.
Be sure to consult an accountant about your particular situation as there are many tax rules based on this.
Now is the time to buy! If you see not only the tax benefits in purchasing a new home, but the benefit of fulfilling the American Dream, then now is the time to get pre-approved. At ReeceNichols, we offer afamily of services. If you are ready to get pre-approved, visit HomeServices Lending!

Acting on lessons from the tsunami: Japan plans new national park
08 September 2012 | Audio
Come 2013 the government of Japan will establish a new national park along areas heavily affected by the 2011 tsunami; a bold pursuit to invest in natural barriers against future natural hazards. This and more are the lessons and steps the government of Japan and its partners are sharing at the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Though the total land area of the new Sanriku Fukku (reconstruction) National Park is not known at this stage Keisuke Takahashi, the Assistant Director of the National Park Division at Japan's Ministry of Environment says that the park will encompass a few other existing natural parks such as the Rikuchu Kaigan Natural Park.
This move by the government is part of its Green Reconstruction Project which aims to promote the wise use of natural resources, learning of threats to and from nature and strengthening of the connection between the people and nature.
"Nature can give many blessings, and it can also threaten us," said Takahashi at a sharing lessons event at the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress in Jeju, Korea. "In order to prepare for future disasters we need to pay more attention to nature and its own powers of recovery."
The people of Japan are deeply connected to nature culturally and this new park will provide a unique opportunity to reinvigorate a sense of pride in nature and conservation whilst also opening doors for employment through ecotourism and education.
Another innovative step for nature proposed and promoted at the congress by Masanori Kobayashi, Associate Professor at Yokohama National University in Japan is the Green Dyke Initiative. This is a reforestation initiative which couples waste disposal.
Basically the green dyke is a soil mound of about 5m in depth, covering debris, with trees (preferably ever-green species) planted on the top of the mound. It is a different approach to the grey dyke, which uses concrete instead of soil.
Kobayashi believes that the green dyke will help solve the immense debris problem left behind by the tsunami.
The initiative has several benefits including green house gas reductions and trials have been successful.
"The green dyke is cost effective and can provide some protection for the people against tsunamis," adds Kobayashi.
This idea however is still fairly new to most of the local people and many opinion differences are surfacing. But Kobayashi is optimistic that participatory, nature-based solutions such as this can be a model for reconstruction.
Nature-based solutions to climate change is one of the themes of discussions at the IUCN World Conservation Congress.

As I've mentioned before, I like listening to The Moth podcast. At the end of every podcast they say, "we hope you have a story-worthy week". Lately, I've really been paying attention to what I spend my time doing and the interactions I've had and really try to have a "story-worthy" week. This past week was filled with a lot:
- Saturday, we got together to buy beer for the tasting party, made sure we had all of the ingredients ready for making pretzels, and then Saturday night we went to the RAWdance Concept series, where we saw a handful of talented dancers share their latest ideas. We then went to Public Works, where we met up with some more artists, this time of the painting/photography/etc. type, enjoyed some drinks and even witnessed a friend's artwork get sold!
- Sunday, as I mentioned, we had the beer tasting, and made some pretzels. It was a huge success! Everyone enjoyed the day of beer (or fresh basil lemonade) drinking, pretzel (and felafel, humus, cheese, and pita) eating and basically a large gathering of friends.
- Monday was a bit of a recovery day. We slept in and then I rode my bike home (through Golden Gate park) and then enjoyed the warm (almost 70!) day in the park near my house. Then, I was, surprisingly, called by a long-time friend that I haven't connected with (but will hopefully be better connected with in the near future) in a long time! It was the highlight of my day!
- Tuesday was also a relaxing and warm day. I spent some time catching up on podcasts and reading since the Internet in our house has been down (I am currently typing this in the library).
I have also been enjoying something new: I have been meditating on a semi-regular basis since the beginning of this month. Since it is new to me, I have not been meditating for more than 15 minutes so far, but I hope to maintain my "schedule" of increasing my sitting time (by increasing the time 1 minute per day, but repeating the time if I miss a day or two) to 20 minutes by the end of the month. Any tips & tricks are definitely welcome, please share in the comments!
Tomorrow is Pi Day (3.14 aka March 14) so we are planning on making a mushroom-onion tart. This will be the first savory tart I've made since the chicken pot pie I made almost a year ago. Do you have anything planned for Pi Day? What about St. Patrick's Day? Any green in your future? Let me know what you have planned and/or what made your week "story-worthy"!

Creaking Mill

Reminds me of High school and the giant, rusty windmill which dominated the set of one of the shows I worked on. The theater was drafty and the windmill used to catch the draft and spin, and creak, very slowly. In one scene of the play violence breaks out and the Corrupt Governor is hanged from the windmill. The theater was always silent at the end of the act, and the creaking windmill and red back lights silhouetting the body and slowly spinning windmill made the scene very visceral.

The largest ever operation to wipe out invasive rodents is underway in the Galapagos Islands, where officials hope to kill 180 million rats with a poison that will not harm native wildlife.
First introduced to the islands in the 17th century, the voracious black rats and Norway rats have overrun the ecosystem and taken a devastating toll on the reptiles, birds and plants of the Galapagos. Dozens of species, most of which exist nowhere else in the world, have become critically endangered. Some species, including a native Galapagos rodent called the Santa Cruz mouse, have even been driven into extinction by the invaders.
Juan Carlos Gonzalez, a specialist with the Nature Conservancy, told the Associated Press that rats are "one of the worst problems the Galapagos have." The invasive rodents reproduce four times a year and "eat everything," he said.
This is the second phase of the rodent eradication project, which began in 2011 following a pilot project in 2008. In this phase, a helicopter will be used to drop 22 tons of poison onto Pinzon Island and Plaza Sur islet. According to the AP, there are 180 million rats on the seven-square-mile Pinzon Island, or an astonishing one rat per square foot. Plaza Sur inlet is much smaller, just 24 acres in size.
The special poison for this "raticide" was developed in the U.S. by Bell Laboratories. The small blue cubes give off an aroma that is attractive to rats but repulsive to native wildlife. The poison dissolves after about a week and new doses will be dropped on the islands on a weekly basis through the end of the month. Even the rats that ingest the poison won't be a danger to the environment, as the toxin contains a special substance that will cause the rodents' bodies to quickly dry up and decay. All the same, several dozen native hawks and iguanas were captured from the island and will be kept safe until they are re-released early next year.
Phase I of this project carried a price tag of about $1 million. This phase will cost about $1.8 million. The Galapagos National Park Service, which is run by the government of Ecuador, is funding the operation in association with several nonprofits. "This is a very expensive but totally necessary war," Gonzalez told the AP.
The project needs to kill every rat on the islands in order to protect the native fauna and flora. "If we miss even one pregnant female, it won't succeed," Linda Cayot, science adviser for the Galapagos Conservancy, told the Guardian. Teams will monitor the island for a year to make sure that the rat population does not return.
The full rat eradication project will run through the year 2020. The poison will be used on uninhabited islands first before being used on the islands where people also live.

Project Description
5424 Vineyard Drive
Paso Robles, 93446
Thursday – Monday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Tasting Fee
From the Vineyard to the bottle, Proulx Wines is a family operation that has been carefully tended and nurtured by owners, Genoa and Kevin Riley, since the beginning.
The name, Proulx, is Kevin's maternal family name and its roots lie in Genoa's family vineyard, located in the heart of Paso Robles' renowned West Side. The fifty-five year old vineyard has produced stellar wines for many years, and when the Riley's began crushing fruit for Proulx in 2004, it did not disappoint. After taking a chance and chasing their dream to make exceptional wine of their own, they hit the ground running, selling out of 200 cases of their first vintage in a matter of months.
The years following have brought continued success for Proulx Wines, and the Riley's attribute a large part of that success to the fact that they are able to source the best fruit from the choicest vineyards, in addition to their own. Kevin's experience consulting for many local wineries has cemented long-existing relationships with growers allowing him to hand-pick the fruit he knows will be right to create the trademark smoothness of each Proulx wine.
Today, Proulx Wines produces 1500 cases yearly with a tight focus on creating high-quality, approachable wines that are ready to drink at an early age. They are wines without pretense, equally suitable for casual evenings spent with those closest to you and special occasions that call for a smooth, refined wine. Most importantly, they are meant to be enjoyed amongst family and friends, and behind every bottle are the passion and dedication of the Riley family.
Kevin Riley has always had his feet wet in the wine industry. Growing up in Westport, Connecticut, he worked along side his father and grandfather at Greens Farm Spirit Shop, where his passion for wines and winemaking all began. After graduating high school Kevin was California bound and as luck would have it he found himself in San Luis Obispo County, where the wine industry was just putting itself on the map. Naturally, he started taking steps to educate himself on winemaking at Cal Poly and quickly immersed himself in the industry.
During his college years it was important to Kevin that he learn all aspects of wine production. He trained at several micro wineries including Dark Star Cellars, where he learned what "hand made" entailed and also trained at large production facilities, where he was just one of many. In 2002, he graduated with a degree in Agricultural Business and a minor in Viticulture. As if his plate was not full enough, Kevin also consults for several wineries, manages numerous vineyards and occasionally gets in a round of golf.

16-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Thursday, September 21, 1911: Went to the Fair today with Miss Carrie of course. We took a ride on the Ferris Wheel (a thing I was never on before) and a ride on the Curling Wave. Saw a good many people I knew and more that I didn't know. I got rather tired walking around all afternoon and sot such a thumping headache. Got home about six o'clock and then had to do all the milking as Ruthie hadn't yet made her arrival.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
Grandma and her friend Carrie Stout went to the Milton Fair. According to yesterday's entry McEwensville High School gave the students the day off to attend the fair.
The rides sound exciting. I checked Wikipedia and discovered that the first Ferris Wheel was at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. It was invented by a bridge builder named George Ferris, and manufactured by Bethlehem Steel in Pittsburgh.
I was somewhat surprised that a fair in central Pennsylvania would have a Ferris Wheel only 18 years after very first Ferris Wheel was created. I imagined that new technology once diffused more slowly than it does today. But I guess that 18 years was a long time—both then and now.
I asked my father about the Milton Fair. He cannot remember there ever being a fair at Milton, but says that when he was young, people called the area on both sides Route 405 near the Arrowhead Restaurant "the fairgrounds".

Many kids a generation after me got their start programming TI calculators, which have become a standard requirement in high school mathematics classes. Most students just learn the very surface of the available functions necessary to get their homework done, but some dig in and discover.
So I suspect that the best way to get the Raspberry Pi into the hands of the kids who will really benefit from it is to go the same route; it needs a ready-to-use software stack that is valuable to educators for use in the classroom, without consideration of how open and tinker-friendly the device is.
I have heard (by way of efforts like Edubuntu and Sugar/OLPC) that there's lots of software already out there based on Linux. I'd like to know what educators think of this software.
- What's lacking, or missing? (Is there software available for e.g. music education?)
- What's too hard to use or install in the classroom?
- What tools might be useful to help manage assignments done on the Raspberry Pi and submitted electronically? (I think this would be a great way to bootstrap knowledge about public key encryption and digital signatures.)
- What tools are good, but are too demanding on the hardware to be of use?

My parents met in a concentration camp in Germany toward the end of World War II.
My mom had been brought to Germany by the Nazis to work in a slave labor camp. The day she was captured she saw her mom and her sister and her sister's baby killed by German soldiers. My mom was crying so much when she got to the camp that one of the guards said if she didn't stop crying they would shoot her.
My mom had been brought to Germany by the Nazis to work in a slave labor camp. The day she was captured she saw her mom and her sister and her sister's baby killed by German soldiers. My mom was crying so much when she got to the camp that one of the guards said if she didn't stop crying they would shoot her.
Near the end of the war, my dad and some other slave laborers were brought to my mom's camp by German guards who were escaping the Russians.
The Germans left him there and fled toward the American lines. When my mom saw my dad, he was a scarecrow in rags. He weighed about 70 pounds and had only one eye. He had lost the other when a guard clubbed him for begging for food.
She was 23, he was 25. She had been a slave for 2 years, he had been one for 4.
They met in that camp, and after liberation they did what a lot of people did. First, they had something to eat, and then they got married.
It was a hell of a marriage. They fought and argued for the next 50 years — even on Sunday mornings — and even on Christmas Day.
It got so bad at times that — after we came to America — my sister and I would plead with my parents to get a divorce.
They never did. When my dad died in 1997, they were still married. 52 years.
When I was about 57 or 58, I started wondering why they didn't get a divorce, why they stayed together through all the misery they put each other through. The answer to that question became a poem in my book about them, Lightning and Ashes. The poem is called "Why My Mother Stayed with My Father."
Why My Mother Stayed with My Father
She knew he was worthless the first time
she saw him in the camps: his blind eye,
his small size, the way his clothes carried
the smell of the dead men who wore them before.
In America she learned he couldn't fix a leak
or drive a nail straight. He knew nothing
about the world, the way the planets moved,
the tides. The moon was just a hole in the sky,
electricity a mystery as great as death.
The first time lightning shorted the fuses,
he fell to his knees and prayed to Blessed Mary
to bring back the miracle of light and lamps.
He was a drunk too. Some Fridays he drank
his check away as soon as he left work.
When she'd see him stagger, she'd knock him down
and kick him till he wept. He wouldn't crawl away.
He was too embarrassed. Sober, he'd beg
in the bars on Division for food or rent
till even the drunks and bartenders
took pity on this dumb polack.
My father was like that, but he stayed
with her through her madness in the camps
when she searched among the dead for her sister,
and he stayed when it came back in America.
Maybe this was why my mother stayed.
She knew only a man worthless as mud,
worthless as a broken dog would suffer
with her through all of her sorrow.
If you want to read more about my parents, you can check out a couple of the blogs here that talk mostly about them. One is calledDPs in the Polish Triangle about what my mom and dad were like when they got to America. The other is called The Wooden Trunk We Carried With Us From Germany.

By the questionnaire survey. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Wenkai Xue : The challenge in designing the ring of life is focused on the tension and toughness of materials. After a number of tests in the selection of materials, we finally find the proper material which achieves the desired effect. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Wenkai Xue : International Award and Competition affirmation for us to make our design much more persuasive. What's more, it is a pretty promotional platform for us to take part in this competition. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?.

The late Bea Arthur of "Golden Girls" fame was revolutionary in not only her social activist endeavors, but in her cultured taste in architecture as well. Up until her death in April 2009, the renowned actress resided at a sprawling rustic estate, which is now available to rent for $32,500 per month.
"The Real Estalker" reports that the celebrated actress (and former Marine!) owned the Los Angeles area estate since at least the mid-1990s. The renovated 6,000 square foot Spanish ranch features five bedrooms, incredible cathedral vaulted ceilings, two sets of offices, a spacious walk-in closet in the master suite, an updated modern kitchen, and four wood-burning fireplaces. Not to mention the house is surrounded by nearly four acres of lush grounds that include tennis courts, hiking trails, and a sizable pool.

Heritage home purveyors Waterworks recently expanded their lighting repertoire with a line of vintage-inspired, hand built wrought iron lighting fixtures. Designed for the discerning illumination aficionado, the collection features sconces inspired by French bistros and lighting of 19th century horse-drawn carriages.
We're big fans of Waterworks over here at Scottsdale Living, and out of this new line we picked out our favorites:
1. Carlton Wall Mounted Single Arm Sconce with Opal Glass Shade: modeled after early lanterns:
2. Watt Wall Mounted Single Arm Sconce with Plain Glass Shade: part of the Watt collection, which was inspired by the shapes and colors of telephone pole insulator covers:
3. Electra Wall Mounted Double Arm Sconce with Glass Shade
4. Arbor Wall Mounted Single Arm Sconce: inspired by the iron gates and fences of Charleston:

Hey, so did you like the Advanced Sports Car Concept (gallery below) Acura showed off at Detroit last month? Did you hope that would be the design language used for the next NSX? You did? Well...that stinks, because they weren't ever going to build that one. But wait, aren't you excited for the Tokyo Show car that insiders said would really show off the design of a new NSX? You are? Well...then life is twice as stinky. According to the folks who've never seen a Road that's straight,
"Now comes word from a source familiar with the program that the Tokyo Show car won't be for real, either and that secretly, behind the scenes, Acura has completely torn up the whole script and started over. Honda's top management isn't happy with either car, so we hear, so it's back to the drawing board, again, at least in terms of how the finished car will look, although the basic proportions and front-engined V-10 package and all-wheel drive layout will stay..."
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see whether what the look Acura comes up with ends up being as droolicious as the concept car we saw last month. And for a rumored price of $150,000 — it'd better be.

Lamar Odom, the Lakers forward that for years fans have been exhorting to just go after it with some passion, apparently finally is doing just that. Of course, he's doing it off the court.
Insiders tell E! News exclusively that Khloé Kardashian and her NBA star boyfriend Lamar Odom are already considering tying the knot.
Odom, a forward for the L.A. Lakers, and Khloé recently have been "talking about rings," says a source close to the couple.
There are other rumors that this has moved past talking. Which seems about the right pace, as they have been dating since mid-August.
We should try to be supportive of love, but there are more red flags around this than Florida in hurricane season. A rich and single NBA player. A reality television star (even one considered the "voice of reason," that has to be taken with a grain of salt in television). A whirlwind romance that leads to a quick engagement. Paparazzi around every corner and TMZ paying for any dirt it can get. What could go wrong?
Odom loves Los Angeles and this summer re-signed with the team in a $30 million deal. Also, lately has loved to date starlets. Last season for a while it was Academy Award nominee Taraji Henson. Oh yea, he had three children with long-time girlfriend Liza Morales (one of his children tragically died of SIDS at 7 months old).
Odom and Kardashian met at a party hosted by new Laker Ron Artest (who picks up his first assist with the new team). Kardashian apparently likes her some NBA players as in the past she dated Minnesota Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants. Odom is a much better player in a much better franchise, so in that sense she is moving up the ladder. She also is literally moving up the ladder — Odom is a legit 6'10" (six inches taller than McCants).
Kardashian currently stars with her sister in the reality show "Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami," so we can look for some cameos by Odom.
But at least for once Odom is being aggressive.

Democrats look for up to $1 trillion in new tax revenues this year - The Hill: Democrats say they want to raise as much as $1 trillion in new revenues through tax reform later this year to balance Republican demands to slash mandatory spending.
Democratic leaders have had little time to craft a new position for their party since passing a tax deal Tuesday that will raise $620 billion in revenue over the next 10 years. The emerging consensus, however, is that the next installment of deficit reduction should reach $2 trillion and about half of it should come from higher taxes.
This sets up tax reform as one of the biggest fights of the 113th Congress, which began on Thursday.

Waiting for Dinner

That picture at the top is absolutely gorgeous. Is that before or after cooking dinner?
I can see that waiting for dinner could wear you out, but someone's got to do it, so sacrifice yourselves.
It's all in a good cause, ie helping Trevor to show off his culinary expertise.
I can't get over that picture, it's delectable.

If it is true that laughter is good medicine, and I am living proof that it is, you should open a pharmacy.
Once I managed to tear myself away from the intro photo, I started down your trail of culinary hilarity. It was all the more funny to me because I don't cook, and I absolutely love you, your daughters and your son, and yes, even your ex!
My unrestrined laughter seriously interrupted my husband's quiet perusal of the news sites he visits. That could be the only downside. He is the cook in our household and I was sitting on the couch, waiting for dinner, which he has already started! I don't want to slow him down on finihing his reading and getting back to the kitchen. He he!

Ohhh do I love it! Tears are running down my face as I read it and identify with the wonderful people in your family. My son is the cook in our family and the rest of us are similar to your group. I think you were at your best in this one!
And the picture - it is priceless.

I agree with Friko and LC that is the best picture EVER! You are in fine form on this post, Marcia! It is hilarious and flows like a babbling brook full of delights and surprises! Obviously Trevor's cooking has inspired you to new heights in story telling. I can tell you, as a non-foodie myself, I hear you sister on the magic of those who create culinary splendors!

I like to cook, but I am definitely the challenged one on my side of the family. Mike's daughter is an excellent cook--a lot like your son-in-law from your description. There always seems to be a crowd at her house at meal time. And "meal time" is usually somewhat past my bedtime.

This is the best post of yours I have read so far. Just brilliantly funny. I totally lost it at "a biggie-sized nativity scene."
My dad was a wonderful cook. I think all men should cook. They look so hot in aprons.

The picture is so sweet!
I can't cook very well but I can cook a delicious pot roast so it is all good. Oh, and a turkey dinner. People forget I can't cook because I can cook those two meals.
I would love the Coke recipe!

Loved your pic...and the fact that your not big on cooking. Someone has to be the taster...and I'm a taster. Thanks for the laugh, it tasted sweet!

See, that's the great thing about Trev and Mo, they make a great entertaining team! Also, having lived with Trev's little brother for year, I believe Trev is the only one on BOTH sides of his family that can cook. :)

Just wonderful Marcia. MY SIL and my sons are all great cooks. So is my oldest granddaughter. I used to be a good cook. I have never eaten much that my daughter has cooked because both of her husbands could cook. Dianne

That's the dearest picture! Kiss the cook and the cherub.
This was a great piece of writing, dear!

I had to come back and look at the picture again.

It is a great one. It's funny. I tried to find a picture of Trevor cooking but couldn't. I'm glad I didn't as this one has been a definite fan fav.

okay, I am ready to be adopted as an auntie in your family and not just because of Trevor's artistry. Your picture is priceless.
Your writing is hillarious. I love your writing.
As far as Coca Cola ham, are you patriotic for the large company in your city or are you helping to keep my daughter & son-in-law working.

I love the pic, Marcia! I had previously tried to comment and got booted off. Oh I am such a witch.
I was laughing about going outside our own genepools. There are several adoptions in my family which have introduced tall slender ballet dancers and sleak-ed hirsute jazz musician to our stumpy lot, ungraceful lot. We are only thrilled to claim them as our own.
Three cheers for yours!

Smile making post -- but why didn't the kids learn to peel anything? When my daughter relates that her 24 year old magna cum laude son, living on his own usually have approximately one carton of strawberries in his fridge and that he can't cook anything that doesn't have microwaving instructions on the box, I ask her how she raised him without an idea how to cook an egg or make a salad. No response. Apparently a common problem.
- July 20, 2011 at 9:50 AM
- marciamayo said...

SUNDAY, May 3, 2009 (HealthDay News) -- Although the number of swine flu cases continued to climb Sunday, the World Health Organization said there is no clear sign yet that the scope of the outbreak has reached pandemic proportions.
That doesn't mean it won't, however.
"At the present time, I would still propose that a pandemic is imminent because we are seeing transmission to other countries," Dr. Michael J. Ryan, director of the World Health Organization (WHO) global alert and response team, said in a teleconference from Geneva, Switzerland, on Sunday. "We have to expect that Phase 6 will be reached. We have to hope that it is not."
As of Sunday morning, the WHO Web site was reporting 787 confirmed cases of swine flu in 17 countries. Mexico has reported 506 cases, with 19 deaths. The United States has confirmed 226 cases in 30 states, according to statistics released Sunday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Currently, the outbreak is gauged a Phase 5, meaning the disease is spreading throughout communities in at least two countries in one of WHO's six regions -- in this case the United States and Mexico. To reach Phase 6, the geographic spread of the disease would have to occur in at least one other country in another region.
However, the Associated Press reported that Mexico's health secretary said on Sunday that the swine flu epidemic in his country apparently is waning.
Jose Angel Cordova told a news conference that Mexico's swine flu death toll remained at 19, while the number of confirmed cases increased slightly, from 473 to 506. Mexico is believed to be the source of the epidemic.
"The evolution of the epidemic is now in its declining phase," Cordova said during a news conference.
U.S. health officials were also cautiously optimistic on Sunday.
"There are several encouraging signs," Dr. Anne Schuchat, interim deputy director for the CDC's science and public health program, said during a teleconference Sunday. "We heard reports that the H1N1 activity might be leveling off in Mexico -- it's too soon to be certain that that's the case."
"Today, I do think we do see some encouraging signs, but we are remaining cautious," Schuchat added. "We have a novel infectious disease -- a new H1N1 virus -- and it's too soon for us to know exactly how this is going to evolve or play out. We can't predict with certainty what the weeks and months ahead will look like. I don't think we are out of the woods yet.
"It's good news that we've only confirmed one death and we have 30 hospitalizations, but it's too soon to say the extent of this disease," she said. "But from what I know about influenza, I do expect more cases, more severe cases, and I do expect more deaths, and I am particularly concerned about what will happen in the fall."
Schuchat noted that the United States needs to be ready for next year's seasonal flu, as well as be prepared for what this new virus might do in the fall. "We are working actively and aggressively to be one step ahead," she said. "We don't know if the virus will come back in the fall harder than it did right now."
There are 30 hospitalizations so far, and some of the cases are severe, Schuchat said. Most of those hospitalized are adolescents and young adults, she noted.
Since schools are the focus of many of the outbreaks, the CDC has issued new recommendations for school closings.
Because children may shed the virus longer than adults, the agency is now recommending that affected schools remain closed for two weeks instead of one, Schuchat said during a teleconference on Saturday.
The U.S. Education Department has said that more than 430 schools had closed, affecting about 245,000 children, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Nancy Cox, chief of the influenza division of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, did deliver some welcome news on the nature of the virus itself on Friday. She said that a preliminary analysis of the H1N1 strain found that it lacks certain "virulent characteristics" that made the 1918 flu pandemic strain so deadly.
And the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has made the decision to buy 13 million more courses of antivirals to replenish the antiviral stockpile, Schuchat said. "We don't know if we are going to need them, we just wanted to be ready," she said.
In addition, the United States has shipped 400,000 regimens of antivirals to Mexico at the request of the Mexican government, Schuchat added.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has urged Americans to stay calm, noting that it was not clear whether the global outbreak of the never-before-seen flu strain was any worse than "ordinary flus." But, he added, agencies across the U.S. government are preparing for the worst, according to the AP.
In a strange twist on Saturday, swine flu was discovered for the first time during this outbreak in pigs. WHO officials reported on the organization's Web site that the virus had been detected in sick pigs on a farm in Alberta, Canada.
Until now, it was not known whether the virus could infect pigs, even though its genetic makeup clearly points to pigs as the source of the pathogen. However, in this case a human appears to have infected the livestock, not the other way around, the WHO reported. A worker on the farm had traveled to Mexico, come back to Canada and fallen ill. The swine are now under quarantine. WHO officials stressed that the swine flu cannot be transmitted through the consumption of pork products.
Asia also announced its first case, in Hong Kong. Officials there quarantined an entire tourist hotel where the victim, a traveler from Mexico who entered via Shanghai, had stayed Thursday night before getting sick, according to The New York Times. On Saturday, South Korea reported its first case of swine flu.
Meanwhile, scientists are racing to produce a vaccine against the new flu strain, but the shots -- if needed at all -- wouldn't be available until fall at the earliest, U.S. health officials have said.
"We think 600 million doses is achievable in a six-month timeframe" from that fall start, U.S. Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Craig Vanderwagen told lawmakers last week.
On Friday, U.S. health officials told reporters that six countries -- the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Mexico, Germany and New Zealand -- have all shared samples of the virus for testing to further the vaccine effort.
"The good news is that the genes of all of the viruses we have examined to date are 99 to 100 percent identical," the CDC's Cox said. "This means that it will be somewhat easier for us to produce an influenza vaccine."
"We are aggressively taking the very early steps that are necessary for vaccine manufacture should a decision be made go ahead and ramp up to full-scale production," Cox added.
The current plan is to have vaccine manufacturers complete production of next year's seasonal flu vaccine, then, if necessary, switch to the production of the H1N1 vaccine, Schuchat said.
The flu strain is a combination of pig, bird and human viruses, prompting worries from health officials that humans may have no natural immunity to the pathogen.
Meanwhile, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission warned consumers Friday to avoid Internet sites and other promotions that offer products claiming to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure the swine flu virus.
"Consumers who purchase products to treat the novel 2009 H1N1 virus that are not approved, cleared or authorized by the FDA for the treatment or prevention of influenza risk their health and the health of their families," Michael Chappell, acting FDA Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs, said in a news release. "In conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission, the FDA has developed an aggressive strategy to identify, investigate and take regulatory or criminal action against individuals or businesses that wrongfully promote purported 2009 H1N1 influenza products in an attempt to take advantage of the current flu public health emergency."
As with the previously tested strains of the swine flu virus, new testing has found that the pathogen remains susceptible to the two common antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, according to the CDC.

Until now I collected almost all of the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips eyeshadow palettes (Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner) and will find the last few colors in my mailbox when I return to Austria next week =D
There were 5 collections, each containing 4 palettes for brown, hazel, blue and green eyes so until today there were 20 palettes released. So each palette is targeted to enhance a certain eye color but surely that can´t prevent me from trying all the colors hehe.
The collection were the classic one, smoky, pop, eye candy and bronzed. You can see the colors here.
Unfortunately when I received the palettes (in several batches) I took the pics mixed so I am not going to review them by collection which was to be perfect but instead you will find different collections mixed in each part. Sorry about that!
Western drugstore eyeshadows usually are of lower quality with a lack of pigment (at least that´s my experience) or maybe I should say used to be as the general quality seems to slowly improve. That being said not all Japanese drugstore brands are great, some are quite inconsistent like Kate (as they have good and really bad shadows)...
My friend Iris seemed to like her Shimmer Strips palettes in she used in this post so I felt assured I would like the palettes so I went ahead and placed my drugstore.com order =)
The Shimmer Strips palettes come in lucent bulky plastic cases that can scratch rather easily so I handle mine with a bit more care than some other palettes. Each palette has a sponge-tip applicator that´s not very useful for me and there is no mirror.
Packaging-wise these are rather simple but I still like them anyway =)
Each palette contains 9 eye shadows arranged in trios for 3 different looks: Natural, playful and dramatic. So usually the top 3 colors are the softest, the 2nd trio is the most colorful and the 3rd has the most dramatic/dark shades. The 3rd shadow in each trio is smaller as it´s supposed to be the liner shade thus should be used least. I mix and match the colors anyway so I usually ignore that trio-scheme but it might be useful for makeup beginners or in a rush or something.
As the name suggests all shadows are shimmery, though in various degrees of intensity. Some colors lean towards frosty, some to a softer slightly shimmery satin finish with the majority being quite shimmery. However none of the colors seems to contain any sort of rougher glitter like some Japanese brands so that´s really awesome for me =) I love shimmery/metallic shadows but don´t really care for glitter!
The amount of pigment varies among the palettes however no color is a dud as all show up on me when using my regular eye makeup brushes. Some colors are super pigmented, some are a bit sheer but as I said, all show up well on me.... which is actually something I didn´t expect from such inexpensive palettes.
The Shimmer Strips palettes blend very well and wear all day long over my Etude House Proof 10 base even here in the sweaty hot Egyptian weather which is always the best condition for me to test out the wearing power of makeup! (I am in Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast so humidity is rather high here, too!). I didn´t experience ANY kind of creasing or fading so I am absolutely impressed (the Proof 10 base is really good though!).
These shadows don´t irritate my eyes either and they are hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers and fragrance free.
Overall I am very impressed with these little palettes and think they are really value for money (RRP somewhere around US$11 but I know that many US drugstores offer rebates, sales etc.). I got them from drugstore.com for 20% off (so I paid around €6.50/each).
Rating 5/5
Here are the first some palettes, I will review all the other ones later on in part 2 (and possibly a part 3 as well).
-Smoky Green Eyes:
A nice combination of greens, grays, silvers etc.
-Classic Green Eyes:
The original palette for green eyes. Contains soft greens and plums. This palette is a bit sheerer than most others.
-Pop Green Eyes:
A very colorful and funny palette containing aquas, bright greens and purples.
-Green Eye Candy:
An array of purples (one side leaning towards pink, one towards a cool grape tone) and a fun bright lime green in the middle!
-Hazel Eye Candy:
One of my top fave palettes as it´s a taupey/pink combo.
-Classic Hazel Eyes:
A soft taupe/brown/dusty pink palette. This is one of the most neutral office-appropriate palettes, also the shimmer is more subdued in this particular palette.
-Classic Brown Eyes:
A very wearable purple/brown/peach palette.
-Smoky Brown Eyes:
This is one of the most pigmented palettes in my opinion. A pretty variety of silvers, browns and purple. The lighter silver shade is really metallic so I use it lightly =)
More palettes to be reviewed in part 2 soon =)
These palettes pair really nicely with the Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liners I reviewed here and here!

If you hang around makers long enough, especially older ones, sooner or later somebody will mention Dave Gingery. And then everybody within earshot will either A) genuflect or B) look around in confusion at all the people who are genuflecting. For those in the latter category, here's an explanation I wrote for Supernaturale awhile back:
Some people are better with tools than others. Like most human attributes, there's a normal distribution of this talent, with a few exceptionally handy-capped people, a few übermechaniker, and most of the rest of us somewhere in between. The late, great Dave Gingery definitely belongs in the "über" category. His classic 6-book series, available for decades now through Lindsay Technical Books, begins with instruction about how to build a home blast furnace and sand table so you can melt scrap metal and cast your own metal parts from wooden patterns. The remaining six books go on to describe how to use these castings to make your own lathe, metal shaper, milling machine, drill press, and indexing head. The order is important, because each tool requires the use of the previous machines in its construction. While the project seems a bit ambitious for me given my available time, I keep a set of the books around on the off-chance I'll be solely responsible for rebuilding industrial society in some sort of post-apocalyptic scenario.
Dave, sadly, left us in 2004. Personally, I think there should be a formal day of remembrance among makers. Meanwhile, Dave's son Vince is carrying the torch and has published a healthy oeuvre of DIY books himself. The works of both father and son are available through Lindsay Technical Books.
From the pages of MAKE:
Dale Dougherty reviewed Lindsay's Technical Books way back in MAKE 04. The review includes some classic Gingery quotes.


text: Don't assume your daughter will marry a prince to pay the bills. Teach your girls the importance of smart money management now. By Janet Bodnar, Editor-at-Large July 31, 2009 I have to confess that when I'm channel-surfing in search of light entertainment, I often settle on Say Yes to the Dress on TLC. The show chronicles the emotional -- and financial -- highs and lows of brides as they shop for the perfect wedding gown at Kleinfeld, a trendy New York City bridal salon. Astonishingly, many of them -- aided and abetted by their parents -- are prepared to spend thousands to fulfill what they say is their lifelong dream: to look like a princess on their wedding day. One woman actually accused her mother of being a cheapskate because she refused to pay $5,600 for a dress. Now, I am foursquare behind the institution of marriage. But I get so many letters from young people who owe money on student loans or credit cards and who want to start married life debt-free. That $5,600 (and often more) would go a long way toward making it happen. And, as a viewer, I can assure those young women that, almost invariably, it's the simplest, least-expensive dress that is the most flattering. Sponsored Content The princess syndrome starts early, with lines of clothes for toddler girls emblazoned with the word princess. One of my friends watched in horror as her 5-year-old had an in-store meltdown because she wanted a Snow White outfit. As girls get older, it's easy for them to assume that there will be a prince to pay the bills. A recent study by Capital One found that among graduating high school seniors, two-thirds of the male students rated themselves "highly" or "very" knowledgeable about personal finance. That compares with slightly less than half of the female students -- which doesn't encourage young women to become financially independent. Advertisement When my twentysomething daughter recently considered relocating to a new city, I gave her the advice I'd give any young woman in her position: Don't move unless you have a job with a salary you can live on, and make plans to further your education. (She found a job, worked up a budget, and has decided to apply to graduate school for the fall of 2010.) A recent study by Women & Co. is encouraging. It found that among affluent women, 94% are discussing financial topics with their daughters, and that mothers and daughters talk about finances more often than sex, drugs and politics. Sidney James, who directs the Women's Philanthropy Board at Auburn University and is kind enough to use my book Money Smart Women to teach a class on personal finance, often passes along comments from her students. A typical response is, "This class is opening my eyes to what my future will be like financially." A young woman whose eyes are wide open is unlikely to pay $5,600 or more for a wedding dress. Stacy Rapacon, one of my colleagues here at Kiplinger, is getting married in the fall and is feeling guilty about spending $700 on a custom-made gown. Advertisement Don't worry, Stacy. I'd say yes to that dress. Janet Bodnar is editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and the author of Raising Money Smart Kids (Kaplan, $17.95) and Money Smart Women (Kaplan, $15.95).

For some, the battle in California is won, but a national debate is ahead.
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation today, Aug. 25, that requires all smartphones sold in the state to be equipped with kill-switch functionality.
The law, led by San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon and sponsored by Sen. Mark Leno, is a big step forward for supporters of an issue that has spurred debate among politicians, technologists and the public. Minnesota is the only other state to have passed similar legislation, which will be enforced starting July 2015. And California is the first state to pass legislation that requires devices to have kill-switch functionality enabled by default.
Given the size of California's economy and the influence the state has on technology trends, the new law could prove a turning point in the mobile device industry.
Opponents of the legislation, like CTIA - The Wireless Association, say the law is unnecessary and will ultimately hurt consumers. Jamie Hastings, CTIA vice president of external and state affairs, noted that there are already stolen phone databases, consumer education campaigns and kill-switch apps on the market.
"Passage of SB 962 by the California Assembly was unnecessary given the breadth of action the industry has taken," he said. "Uniformity in the wireless industry created tremendous benefits for wireless consumers, including lower costs and phenomenal innovation. State-by-state technology mandates, such as this one, stifle those benefits and are detrimental to wireless consumers."
Leno responded by saying that in a perfect world, Congress would implement national legislation requiring device manufacturers to include a kill-switch in their devices across the nation. But instead, it's California's charge to lead the way.
"This is a situation where we have a growing epidemic of crime, and Congress is not acting," Leno said. "We need to do something, and so that's what we're doing. California, and we've seen this before, oftentimes when a decision is made, here it becomes the de facto way of doing business across the country."
Minnesota's legislation misses the mark, Leno said, because it does not require the kill-switch option to be enabled by default, which means it won't be an effective theft deterrent. "We'll only be effective if we can get into the mind of every potential criminal that it is not worth his time or risk because the phone will be worthless," Leno said. "We don't want to deny you consumer choice, but otherwise it is there when you activate your phone."
New York is moving forward with similar legislation, Leno said, and together, California and New York could be enough to tip manufacturers toward making the kill-switch a standard device feature. Several CTIA members that initially opposed the legislation -- including Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Blackberry, Google, AT&T and Verizon -- dropped their opposition and appear to be embracing the technology. In a recent blog post, Microsoft showcased anti-theft functionality in its newer devices, but the company declined to comment on the new law.
Organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation opposed the legislation at its introduction in June, and maintains that technological mandates hamper innovation. "Technology is fast; the law is slow," EFF's Adi Kamar wrote in a blog post. Technological mandates "lock in" technologies that meet legal requirements, but, Kamar wrote, they aren't necessarily the best solutions -- and they prevent other technologies that might be better from catching on.
Legislation like California's kill-switch law also presents an opportunity for abuse, Kamar wrote. "We were especially concerned with giving government actors any more ability to shut off cell phones after wireless service was shut off during the 2011 BART protests," he wrote.
California subsequently passed a law that prevents law enforcement from disabling communications services, but that legislation is set to soon expire, and Kamar noted that guaranteeing every phone to have a kill switch in some ways legitimizes the act of disabling someone's phone.
EFF Senior Staff Attorney Lee Tien admitted that kill-switch technology does have benefits, and that device theft isn't something the foundation wants.
"But it's never a situation where any and all solutions to a problem are equally good," Tien said. "We've had a problem with this bill for a while in that it doesn't do enough to give the user the ultimate control, as opposed to someone else."
Tien warned that if California's bill does lead to a mobile landscape where every device has a kill switch, the technology could be abused by law enforcement or other groups to selectively disable the devices of those they wish to silence.

DreamFactory has launched an open-source platform for building mobile HTML5 and native apps. The DreamFactory Services Platform (DSP) is a standards-based, back-end server that can be installed on any virtual machine in the cloud or in a datacenter.

- An Insider's View into a Supply Chain Attack
- How Enterprises Are Developing and Maintaining Secure Applications
- [Free Virtual Event] Using Microsoft in 2020 & Beyond
- How Secure is Your Azure Cloud Security Environment?
Using DSP, a single developer has the opportunity to create and deploy what might be quite sophisticated mobile applications without any server-side software development.
This standards-based, open-source mobile architecture is positioned to enable developers to connect HTML5 and native applications to a wide array of Web services including SQL Data, BLOB Storage, User Management, App Hosting, and External Integration.
In keeping with the prevailing industry trend toward cloud computing, the DreamFactory Services Platform is specifically optimized for installation on existing datacenters and cloud infrastructure such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
"The client-service architecture is the best choice for low-bandwidth and high-performance mobile applications written in HTML5 or native technologies," said Bill Appleton, cofounder and CEO of DreamFactory.
"But hosting mobile applications on your own cloud or datacenter often requires lots of server-side software development [so we have created] a service platform for mobile enterprise applications. Our value proposition is: software development costs, network bandwidth, application security, cloud hosting bills, time to market and user experience all improved."
Developers who were provided early access to the platform said that it addresses a crucial gap in the current line-up of technologies used to develop mobile enterprise apps. According to the company's press statement for this release, DreamFactory offers all of the services and capabilities developers need to build secure, modern client-service applications for the desktop, tablet, or phone. All services are accessed through a REST interface that supports both JSON and XML documents. The document exchange interface minimizes network traffic, mitigates intermittent connections, and provides support for HTML5 applications and native client technologies such as Android, BlackBerry, and iOS.
