Collaborative Research:NSF-NSFC:Improving FEW system sustainability over the SEUS and NCP: A cross-regional synthesis considering uncertainties in climate and regional development
National Science Foundation (NSF)(8/15/18 - 7/31/22)
Sponsor: National Science Foundation (NSF)
Economic development and environmental sustainability are often conflicting objectives (Rogers, 1997). Continued economic development often arises from ensuring environmental safeguards and sustainability (Rogers,1997). This Food-Water-Energy System (FEWS) study presents a synthesis on understanding the regional and global FEW impacts due to uncertain climate and development scenarios on two regions – Southeast US (SEUS) and North China Plain (NCP) – that experience contrasting settings on water and energy availability, but have similar portfolios on crop production (corn, soybeans, fruits, vegetables and cereals – wheat/rice) and water (primarily groundwater) and energy (coal/natural gas) appropriation. FEW system is complex and their nexus typically organizes under different spatial and temporal scales. For instance, pollution from agricultural runoff usually have local signature and has lesser impacts and the energy grid water issues typically organize at watershed scale. However, events triggered by large-scale climatic conditions such as multi-year droughts could impact both surface water and groundwater availability which could impact hydropower generation, cooling of power plants and irrigated and rainfed agriculture. But, it is unclear how much the climatic impacts on regional FEWS could impact global food prices and commodity flow. Similarly, federal policy changes (e.g., tax deductions for solar PV installation) could potentially make the nexus resilient, depending on the nature of FEWS, against climate variability. We intend to explore these research issues and perform a cross-regional synthesis on two regions, Southeast US and North China Plain, for improving food-energy-water system sustainability.
A Global Synthesis of Land-Surface Fluxes Under Natural and Human-altered Watersheds using the Budyko Framework
US Geological Survey (USGS)(5/15/18 - 5/14/20)
Sponsor: US Geological Survey (USGS)
Global hydroclimate over the last century has been significantly altered by anthropogenic influences that arise from changes in global climate and also from local impacts stemming from man-made storage structures, increased groundwater withdrawal and land-use changes. Understanding and explaining how the spatio-temporal variability of land-surface fluxes differs in natural and human-altered watersheds is the goal of this synthesis study focusing at the global scale. For instance, annual average flow and annual total precipitation have increased during the period of 1948–1997 across the eastern United States, and the trends appear to arise primarily from the increase in autumn precipitation (Small et al., 2006). Irrigation in the U.S. high plains increases the rainfall and streamflow during the summer season in the Midwest (Kustu et al., 2011). Based on hydroclimatic observations in 100 large hydrological basins from 1901 to 2008, globally, Jaramillo and Destouni (2015) found consistent and dominant effects of increasing relative evapotranspiration from flow regulation and irrigation, and decreasing temporal runoff variability from flow regulation. Understanding the hydroclimatology and associated changes in natural/virgin (human-altered) watersheds will quantify the influence/role of changes in global hydroclimate (and local anthropogenic influences), thereby providing a perspective on the local vs global signals that impact watershed-level hydroclimate.

NCSU Research and Innovation Seed Funding Program(1/01/15 - 12/31/15)
Sponsor: NCSU Research and Innovation Seed Funding Program
End Date: 12/31/15
NC State has significant strengths in water resources research, including the human dimension, across multiple colleges (e.g., CNR, CALS, CHASS, COS, Design and Engineering). Yet, there in not a forum for sustained interaction among faculty that facilitates understanding of the rich set of interdisciplinary perspectives on campus and fosters new collaborative opportunities. We envision providing this forum through a series of integrative activities including a brownbag seminar series, a graduate student two-day workshop, and a "Water Summit" conference. Each activity will be designed to deepen cross-disciplinary understanding and work toward the goal of assembling multidisciplinary teams that compete successfully for new funding opportunities. Outcomes will include the participants identifying new cross-discipline research collaborations; identification of curricular opportunities related to water resources; and developing a sustainability plan for the network's continuance.
Cybersees: Type II: Cyber-Enabled Water and Energy Systems Sustainability Utilizing Climate Information
Continually increasing water demand (due to population growth) and fuel costs threaten the reliability of water and energy systems and also increase operational costs. In addition, both natural climatic variability and the impacts of global climate change increase the vulnerability of these two systems. For instance, reservoir systems depend on precipitation; whereas power systems demand depend on mean daily temperature. Currently, these systems use seasonal averages for their short-term (0-3 months) management, which ignores uncertainty in the climate, thereby resulting in increased spillage and reduced hydropower. While seasonal climate forecasts contain appreciable levels of skill over parts of the US in both winter and summer, the uptake of these forecasts for water and energy systems management has been limited due to lack of a coherent approach to assimilate probabilistic forecasts into management models. We systematically analyze various scenarios that aim at improving the performance of these systems utilizing the multimodel climate forecasts and a high performance computing (HPC) framework.
Integrated Drought Management and Assessment Portal for the State of North Carolina
NCSU Water Resources Research Institute(3/01/14 - 2/29/16)
Sponsor: NCSU Water Resources Research Institute
The proposed research builds upon the ongoing effort in developing an experimental inflow and storage forecasts portal (http://www.nc-climate.ncsu.edu/inflowforecast) housed at the SCO into an integrated drought management and assessment portal (Figure 1) for NC. Two specific objectives are proposed in this study: 1) Develop operational soil moisture and streamflow forecasts for the entire state of NC by enhancing the existing experimental reservoir inflow and storage forecasts portal with the NASA's Land Information System (LIS) and distributed modeling framework. 2) Develop adaptive drought management framework that supports monitoring, prediction and drought management including customized drought indices for the entire state of NC.
AGU Chapman Conference on "Seasonal to Internannual Hydroclimate Forecasts and Water Management"
The primary objective is to convene climate scientists, hydrologists, forecasting agencies, water utilities, reservoir operators and water management agencies together for understanding the challenges and opportunities in developing hydroclimate forecasts relevant to water resources management. Over four days, the participants will focus on various issues related to hydroclimate forecasts and water management by addressing the following science questions: 1. What are the key sources of uncertainties that challenge development of skillful hydroclimate forecasts at daily, seasonal and interannual time scales? 2. How best do we reduce the uncertainty and improve reliability in downscaling largescale climate information for developing regional hydroclimate forecasts? 3. What are the key challenges in using probabilistic streamflow information in operational water resource management models and decision tools? 4. What are the limitations in applying streamflow forecasts for real-time applications? 5. How can we bridge the gaps between forecast producers (agencies, research institutions) and forecast consumers (water resource managers, operational agencies) for improving forecast applications in water management?
WSC - Category 3: Collaborative Research: Water Sustainability under Near-term Climate Change : A Cross-Regional Analysis Incorporating Socio-Ecological Feedbacks and Adaptations
The main objective of the proposed research is to understand, identify and quantify uncertainties related to the freshwater sustainability under near-term climate change and population growth by incorporating adaptive responses, feedbacks as well as the needs of hydro-ecological systems and human-environmental systems through a cross-regional synthesis. The specific tasks associated with this objective are: 1)	Reduce the uncertainty in targeted hydro-ecological variables under near-term climate change by combining projections from multiple GCMs (from AR5), regional climate models (from NAARCAP) and hydrological models (VIC, SWAT and MODFLOW) 2)	Ingest the hindcasts and future projections (i.e., time series) of the targeted variables in reservoir models, groundwater models and ecological models to quantify the resilience and vulnerability of water infrastructure systems and ecological systems over the target basins 3)	Identify key policy interventions, supply augmentation and demand reduction measures that will ensure freshwater sustainability under projected population growth and climate change 4)	Incorporate the identified consumer feedbacks and societal adaptations with the water infrastructure models through an agent-based model 5)	Perform an integrative cross-regional analyses to identify critical tipping points and feedback mechanisms that will reduce the uncertainty in freshwater sustainability under near-term climate change and population growth
An Integrated Framework for Assessing the Dynamics of Population Growth, Land Use and Climate Change for Urban Water Resources Management
: To manage the stress imposed on water supply through urbanization, population growth, and climate change, engineering solutions typically focus on expanding water infrastructure and finding alternative sources of water. The sustainability of a water resources system, however, emerges from the interactions among the environmental, technological, and social characteristics of the water system and local population. For instance in Wake County, NC, municipal water demand increased by 60% in the last decade due to rapid development and urbanization, which has stressed the reliability of Falls Lake and caused frequent water shortages. Instituting management measures, including water restrictions, results in reduced return flows and revenue loss for the city. Thus, consumer decisions to re-locate to an urban area, use water effectively, and comply with restrictions, can impact the health and availability of water resources. This decision-making process is usually adaptive considering both existing conditions (e.g., droughts) and potential/anticipated changes to the system such as climate change, scarcity of resources, and regulations; therefore a feedback process exists between human activities and the natural and infrastructure systems. The objective of the proposed research is to develop a dynamic modeling approach to couple urban growth dynamics, consumer behaviors, and projections of climate change with watershed and reservoir models for identifying sustainable water management strategies for the Falls Lake.
Experimental Reservoir Storage Forecasts Utilizing Climate-Information Based Streamflow Forecasts
NCSU Water Resources Research Institute(8/16/11 - 12/31/14)
The reliability of existing water supply systems are threatened due to increase in water demand resulting from urbanization and population growth. This combined with seasonal to interannual variability in streamflow increase the vulnerability of these systems particularly during prolonged droughts. The recent project funded by WRRI provides experimental monthly to seasonal forecasts of streamflows for four major reservoir systems (Falls Lake, Jordan Lake, Kerr Scott and Philpot). These experimental reservoir inflow forecasts (http://www.nc-climate.ncsu.edu/inflowforecast) are developed by downscaling the precipitation forecasts available from ECHAM4.5 General Circulation Model using principal components regression. This prognostic information, which is available as shift in probabilities of streamflows, could be converted to experimental reservoir storage forecasts by combining the inflow forecasts with a reservoir simulation model. The inflow forecasts portal could also be customized to project monthly to seasonal storage scenarios for any user prescribed releases.

Q: Display Custom text in VF Page when field value is null I have a Gantt Chart which is used to show the Project Timeline. I am using Google Charts to display the Gantt Chart.
Below is the VF page:
<apex:page standardController="Project__c">
    <apex:form >

</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Now, the issue here is that, for few records, the date fields are null. Due to that, I am seeing the error as

Cannot read property 'datefield' of undefined

Is there any way that I can display some custom banner like "Required date values are not available" instead of the above error in case of missing date values?
Please suggest

A: I found that this breaks it:
["0","Initial",null, null, null, 50, "null"],

You are passing in a null value as "null" which is... actually not null. It's a string set to "null"
Also, you don't seem to have defined the daysToMilliseconds function.
It should be:
function daysToMilliseconds(days) {
  return days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
}

With those things fixed, null dates don't break the chart.
data.addRows([
  ["1","GLI",new Date("{!Project__c.GLI_Planned_Date__c}"), null, daysToMilliseconds(3), 50, null],
  ["2","REG",new Date("{!Project__c.REG_Planned_Date__c}"), new Date("{!Project__c.REG_Actual_Date__c}"), daysToMilliseconds(3), 50, null],
  ["3","UAT",new Date("{!Project__c.UAT_Planned_Date__c}"), new Date("{!Project__c.UAT_Actual_Date__c}"), daysToMilliseconds(2), 20, null]

Nuclear Radiation Is Far More Toxic to the Living Environment Than Previously Thought.
CodeShutdown
Jebus, it comes down to this; 'for reasons only partly understood, nuclear fallout is far more toxic to the living environment than previously thought' That's it in a nutshell
The fallout doesn't seem to disperse to a level of non toxicity, as is commonly believed. Biological response seems to linger even after an element has decayed to very low levels, for reasons science has not adequately examined. It is known that animals can re-concentrate radioactive and non radioactive elements thousands and even millions of times, but science does not apply this knowledge adequately to risk factors.
The in-use risk model is outdated and should be replaced immediately. It was invented before the discovery of DNA and is an antiquated model based on false assumptions and faulty data. The newer models show that man made radioactive elements are 10 to thousands of times more toxic than assumed. These new models will also be outdated someday and its likely that many elements will be revealed as even more toxic.
This Yale author, Elizabeth Grossman, with some Title shown at the right, seems to be "on topic". I sent her the "Chitin research" and will see if that gets any traction.

The creatures that are hardest hit in the last few years either rely havily on chitin in their own life, or rely on eating creatures that use chitin. chitin bio-magnifies radiation in water/air. Radiation is one of the few things that destroys chitin. Yes, this is the smoking gun http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-scientific-basis-for-destruction-of.html

CodeShutdown March 20, 2016 at 1:48 pm · Reply as far as man made k-40, we have stocks position as of last year. http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2015/09/wrap-up-on-radioactive-potassium-k40.html Dr Goodhearts article on this extrapolates from different sources but misses the actual science, the timing and physics of neutron absorption and actual yields. Some of the potassium isotopes that can be created have short half lives and thus dont contribute to the background level. Paveway was quite outspoken that man has not contributed measurably to the background. Paveway appears to be high level in physics carbon 14 is another issue and its rather shocking to realize how much carbon14 was added from the bomb test era. Man, with his relatively (compared to background) small addition of radioactive elements has made the earth a hell for the animal kingdom in just a few short generations.

Nah, you stepped in a big pile of it. The current models in use in professional radiation protection practice are overly conservative if anything. Busby and antinuclear scientists can squawk all they want, at the end of the day, their theories haven't been validated. No sale. ICRP represents the best science and even amongst their ranks they don't always get unanimous consent, but always consensus.

Pick your topic. Seems there is nothing safe on the planet. And with nothing safe, everything is dangerous. Sorry but whomever funds her wants a dissenting view. It's Yale afterall. Plenty of counter culture there.

Forget all the opinions, who needs to accept MORE ☢ just because some BIG Corp.'s want to sell energy and make a profit from it, especially when there are far cleaner ways to do it.
Japan should be fined everyday that Fukushima continues to leak ☢ then the industry would start paying attention to what they are doing, as it is now they don not fear another Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster because it will not destroy their Corporation!
Nuremberg trials for those lying promoters of lies!

What comes out of Fukushima is a mere trickle compared to what we are bombarded naturally. Start with galactic protons that are about 90% of cosmic radiation, the alpha particle is another 9%. These particles interact at a nuclear and Colombic scale with our atmosphere at 50k ft. Elevation. High energy ga.master are produced as are neutrons. The neutrons can interact with other particles in the atmosphere. So if there is uranium and thorium from burning coal released in the atmosphere, these neutrons can interact as well. In some cases, a uranium atom released from burning fossil fuel can spontaneously fission as well in the,atmosphere, so in fact fission products would be produced from these reactions. By studying atmospheric nuclear interactiond, one can understand the relative contribution of Fukushima to the overall radiation budget in the world. It's not significant.

Trolls Far More Toxic to the Living Environment Than Previously Thought.
Who is a troll who brings a justified and opposing view? You don't even know what the word means. I think you don't realize big coal has been the primary beneficiary of delaying nuclear in this country. In China, you can't breathe and that's one reason for their nuclear expansion. The other reason is their manufacturing economy. How many "made in China" articles do you own? The antinuclear movement didn't eliminate nuclear. In fact they made it more the reason for nuclear innovation. It's happening and the rat farm, which is a front for big coal has ironically made it possible. TMI, Chernobyl, Fukushima, didn't derail nuclear. If anything it highlights the actual consequences are far less than what antinukes would want people to believe. Millions dead from nuclear? Where? Smoke and mirrors.

There's probably never been as ambitious a film score as Howard Shore's 10-hour epic for the "Lord of the Rings" series... the music is rich and complex, drawing on a vast range of styles and exotic instruments to evoke J.R.R. Tolkien's world of elves, hobbits and warlocks. But it's more than just background music: Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together. Lush, beautiful and full of intriguing surprises, it's no wonder that it's become one of the most popular film scores ever written.
Hey, Tolkien fans and Howard Shore aficionados! Remember back in April when we released THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING – THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS? Sure you do! (If you don't, then click here.) And remember how we promised you that the complete recordings of the other two chapters of the trilogy would be forthcoming at some future juncture? Well, if you don't, then please see that parenthetical comment we made a couple of seconds ago. Anyway, we bring this up because – surprise! – today marks the release date of the next chapter in the series.
That's right: even as you read this sentence, you can pick up your very own copy of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS - THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS on vinyl as a 5-LP boxed set, on compact disc as a 3-CD set with an additional Blu-ray, and – last but not least – in digital form.
The aforementioned vinyl set is housed in a collector's box with a blue leather-style spine, it's pressed on blue vinyl, and you will not be surprised to discover that it's a limited-edition set, so there will be 8,000 individually numbered copies and that's it. As for the CD version, that bonus Blu-ray is actually an audio disc, and it includes high-resolution 5.1 and stereo mixes of the entire score. Oh, and for those of you with a thirst for knowledge, you'll be pleased to know that both vinyl and CD versions feature extensive liner notes from author Doug Adams.

Break-ins at 2 Farmington Hills homes
Front doors kicked in, jewelry and cash reported stolen.
Break-ins at 2 Farmington Hills homes Front doors kicked in, jewelry and cash reported stolen. Check out this story on HometownLife.com: http://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/farmington/2016/04/26/farmington-hills-farmington-police-crime-public-safety/83567800/
Aileen Wingblad, hometownlife.com Published 7:25 p.m. ET April 26, 2016
(Photo: O&E Media)
Farmington Hills police are investigating break-ins at two homes that reportedly occurred on April 22.
One incident was at a house in the 30700 block of Ramblewood Club Drive, and the other was in the 29400 block of Cove Creek. In both cases, the front door was kicked in and rooms were ransacked.
Reported stolen from the Ramblewood home were two Rolex watches, other jewelry and cash. A K-9 officer was brought to the scene to track the suspect but was unsuccessful. Neighbors and a landscaping crew working in the area saw nothing unusual, reports state.
The resident, who is renting the house from his mother, told police he was at a fitness club working out from 10:30 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. when he received notice of an activated burglar alarm.
In the Cove Creek case, silverware and a jewelry box containing a large amount of diamond and gold jewelry were reported missing. The homeowner told police she had left at 7:30 a.m. She discovered the break-in at 7:45 p.m. when returned home.
Assistant Police Chief Matt Koehn said there's "a good possibility" the crimes are related, based on the circumstances.
Fleeing from cops
A broken brake light on a car caught the eye of a Farmington Hills police officer on patrol at about 12:45 p.m. on April 22 and subsequently set off a high speed chase along M-5 and Grand River Avenue.
According to reports, the driver of the vehicle – a 2006 Buick LaCrosse – ignored the police car's emergency lights – and at one point was paced at 92 mph in a 45 mph zone. The officer terminated the chase just past Grand River Avenue and Eight Mile Road, where the driver ran a red light. He was also seen running a red light at Eight Mile and Inkster Road.
The driver of the car is described as a white male, approximately 30 years old, balding or with receding light brown hair, and a thin build. The passenger is described as a black male, approximately 30 years old, with a medium or heavy build, and dark hair.
A 23-year-old Farmington Hills man could face charges of assault following an incident with his 56-year-old housemate, which reportedly occurred April 20 in the 21300 block of Inkster Road.
The older man came to the Farmington Hills police station to report the incident, which he said started as an argument over housekeeping and escalated when the younger man grabbed a kitchen knife and held it up near his shoulder. The older man said he told his housemate he'd get his gun and shoot him if threatened with a stabbing – but never did so. When questioned b police, the younger man claimed he was threatened with being shot, so he got the knife as protection.
Police believed the older man's account and forwarded a report to the county prosecutor for review.
Embezzling $47K
Farmington Hills police are investigating a possible embezzling of $47,000 by an employee of an insurance company. The employee, a former human resources consultant, allegedly defrauded the company using a corporate credit card and misusing a referral bonus program, requesting bonuses ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 that were given to family members and friends.

Coach Iain Taylor watched nine Colts play their last game of youth rugby for Macclesfield after playing and coaching together for ten years. Ben Hadfield got the Blues off to a great start with a first half hat trick. The second half saw George Hodkinson scoring two, one using his pace to break through the defence, the other powering over from a quickly tapped penalty from ten metres out. Aled Williams jinked his way to the tryline for his score, after a well worked backs move had opened up some space on an inside line. Sam Worthington scored the seventh, crashing over the line following some good work in the loose by the pack. Joe Stubbs scored the final try with the last play, breaking a tackle then sprinting free to slam the ball down for the score. Tom Leicester converted six from seven.
Despite conceding an early try, when Sandbach capitalised on a fumbled pass, the Colts looked in control in their eight try victory. The score could have been more, both George and Sam were held up over the line, and Harry and Matt couldn't convince the referee that they had touched down correctly. Ben put in the ground work for his first try, gaining valuable yards with a powerful run through the midfield. Callum and Sam W took the ball on, then quick hands from Tom and Charlie put Ben in under the posts. Ben gave the pack momentum for his second try, leading the way with another powerful run off the back of a maul. Sam W and Ben probed the opposition defence close to the posts, until Ben forced his way over. Ben concluded his first half hat trick with a pick up from the back of a 5 metre scrum. Although the opposition knew what was coming, they could not prevent Ben from muscling over for his third.
Ben took a rest for the second half, replaced by George who got on the score sheet after a quarter of an hour. A neat tactical kick from Aled, set up the field position for the Blues. George broke free of the cover to sprint under the posts for the score. Aled then got himself onto the score sheet, cutting inside after a pass behind the centres had momentarily wrong footed the defence. George then scored his second from close range, being at first receiver from a quick tap penalty, then forcing his way over the line. George was sniffing his hat trick, with another break close to the line, this time Sam W benefited, picking up the ball and being driven over for a Colts career debut try. With the clock on red, Joe took Salty's pass, broke a tackle, and then accelerated clear of the opposition defence to put the ball down next to the right hand post. Jacko hadn't scored all season, so Tom passed on the conversion duties. Jacko's kick curved between the posts to seal the victory.
Salty's distribution was effective all afternoon, with three assists. The engine room of Callum and Sam W made a nuisance of themselves throughout the match. Tom's kicking from hand played the team into the right areas of the pitch, aided by some concerted chasing by Jacko. It was good to end the season on a win.

If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed that I like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and most of my cooking experiments involve Indian recipes. It wasn't always that way. I really only started cooking at home about 4 years ago, and in the beginning my cooking skills were limited to pasta from a box and marinara sauce from a can, Hamburger Helper skillets, and anything else that could be assembled from a package (pretty sad).
About 3 years ago I was messing around in the kitchen trying to make dal chawal, and I found my sweet spot; something clicked and my love for cooking Indian foods from scratch was ignited. Since then there have been failures and their have been successes, and along the way I've learned a few things about Indian cooking that I thought would be worth sharing with you all. If you are struggling to find the time to cook more Indian food, or feeling overwhelmed by the process, here are some tips to get you started.
Don't stress yourself out with complicated recipes in the beginning. Master an aloo gobi sabji before moving on to something more complicated like saag. I am a huge fan of masoor ki dal (red lentils) and they are one of the easiest to cook. Masoor ki dal and chawal (rice) are on my meal plan almost weekly. I like to cook simple recipes I know will turn out right – it builds my cooking confidence!
If you cook North Indian food, you can get away with a good garam masala (buy it pre-blended), haldi, and salt for the first little while. Trust me on this; if a recipe calls for other spices you can skip them in the beginning. Yesterday I made aloo methi with just these three spices because I was in a rush, it tasted just fine. Once you're comfortable with them, you can start experimenting with others. (Check out my masala dabba post here for ideas).
One of the biggest complaints I get from young women is 'there are no real recipes' for Indian food it's all andaaza 'guesstimate'. Firstly, there are so many blogs on the web that give detailed directions and recipes now that you can't really use that excuse anymore. However, if it's a particular recipe of your mom's or your grandma's that you are trying recreate, you'll have to work with them for measurements. I usually ask my mom – how many chamach (spoons), and then I further deduce; bada chamach yah chota chamach? When I'm trying to recreate one of Mom's recipes I know it's going to take a few attempts, and I make lots of notes.
If you absolutely aren't comfortable with cooking Indian from scratch there are a lot of jarred sauces on the market. Work on mastering roti or chawal and then cook your sides from a sauce while you are learning. I recently tried Sharwood's Balti sauce and it was really good. (I also like the korma flavour). It's also great for a busy weeknight.
I tend to spend some time each weekend prepping my vegetables, cooking up a pot of rice, making dahi, and prepping dough for roti making – cause aint nobody got time for that during the week! This is also when I restock my fridge with tadka cubes if I'm running low.
I hope some of these tips will be helpful in getting you started with Indian cooking. Ever since I watched the 100 Foot Journey I feel the intense urge to get all my friends into the kitchen to cook.

Look closely and you'll see this flower mandala is overlaid with a symbol of sacred geometry known as The Flower of Life. This ancient pattern's overlapping circles form flowers that symbolize life's connections, which are woven through all beings. The hearts, representing the ever present energy of love, formed naturally in the making of the mandala by the petals and leaves of the Freesia flower. Your own connection and alignment are found within in you, and are expressed as joy and love. The message of The Joy Inside mandala reminds us of all these things.
While in a state of joy and love, you're in a state of connection and alignment on all levels of your being. You're in alignment with your true self, and with your Source. It's from within this place of alignment that you become aware of your connection with everyone and everything.
This alignment, this connection, isn't found outside yourself; it is within. The joy is inside. There are many paths to this place, though it's only in silence that you fully experience it. This is the place where you directly know unconditional love, from where you create, and receive guidance. Only when you know unconditional love yourself, are you able to give that to others.
Don't be concerned that you aren't here all the time. Personally, I don't think we're meant to be in this state constantly, though it's good you're here so often that you can find your way back at any time, and as easily as you know your way home.
What a beautiful invitation to enter one's silence . . . accompanied by a powerfully poignant mandala to transport one there.
Fragile, gorgeous creation, Karen. Thank You.
Thank you, Kay! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It's always a joy for me.
Ethereal image. I've started taking mindfulness classes and love to concentrate on one of your mandalas to touch my inner joy and peace. Just beautiful, Karen.
Just looking at this beautiful creation relaxes me and brings serenity. It is absolutely gorgeous. I think you are getting better and better and I didn't know that was possible! I can't wait to see where you will go.
Thank you, Julie! What beautiful comments! I appreciate your saying these things very much. I'm so happy to know that my mandala has such a lovely effect.
Karen, this is such a lovely mandala – a brilliant creation. I especially like the geometric lines that overlay the original flowers. Beautiful work!
Thanks so much, Judi! The geometric pattern is called the Flower of Life. I hope to do some more work that uses sacred geometry soon.
