LET'S BE SOUP DUMPLINGS

AND THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS ... 

“It’s like men are vegetable soup. You can’t put them on a plate or eat them off the counter.
So women are the pot. They heat them up. They hold them. They contain them.
But who wants to be a pot?
Who the hell said we’re not soup?”
– Joyce Ramsay, Mad Men

One day, as I was watching CNN's The Sixties episode chronicling the rise of the feminist movement, I remembered an episode of that other brilliant show about a bygone era, Mad Men.The Beautiful Girls showed the layers of difficulty women faced back then, from the dismissiveness with which their contribution to the workplace was viewed ("She died like she lived – surrounded by the people she answered phones for," said Roger following the demise of Miss Blankenship) to Dr. Faye's feeling of inadequacy following her missed connection with Don's daughter (her lack of maternal inclination seen as a failure, despite her successful career). There was much to unpack in those multi-layered storylines about the show's lead females. But what stuck with me was the quote above from a peripheral character: Joyce Ramsay, Peggy's pot-smoking, lesbian, Life magazine assistant photo editor friend (that actress Zosia Mamet can play both Joyce on Mad Men and Shoshanna on Girls still blows my mind).

Upon hearing Joyce's words, my first instict was to think, how great that in this day and age, things aren't so black and white. Depending on circumstances, women too can be the soup while men play the role of pot. We have evolved, and for that I am grateful.

But then I thought again. Does it have to be one or the other? Must one person be charged with containing and supporting the other while the other provides substance and sustainance? Don't we all deserve the opportunity to be soup? Is there another option? What if we were more like those delicious little soup dumplings—self-contained and brimming with juice and substance. Can't we all enjoy each other's warmth, support and substance as we sit in this little bamboo steamer of life?

Just some food for thought ...

URL Forward for Google Sites Video Tutorial

The Google Apps Team, on their Youtube Channel has released a concise video walkthrough for forwarding a Google Site built on Google Apps for Business to a custom domain, like intranet.example.com

So if you are looking to simplify the user login experience to the company intranet or just put your public website on www.example.com, this video shows how easy it really is. Just remember, this is the method for Google Apps, not for your typical Gmail account. I recommend using Google Apps anyways because it is free for up to 10 users and you get a lot more hosting space.

Transcript:

You can a public Google Site to your own custom domain. Google Sites are easy to update and create, but normally the link to the Google Site looks something like this - that's a long URL to enter. 

You can easily setup your Google Site with a custom URL, like www.yourdomain.com, or even dashboard.yourdomain.com. 

To make a Google Site available from a custom URL, you need to add the web address in your Google Apps control panel. And then make a change to your DNS Settings with your domain host.

1. Add Web Address in Google Apps Control Panel
2. Make Changes to DNS Settings with domain host

Just make sure that the Google Site you are using has its privacy settings set to public, or the user will be redirected to the long URL.

So, let's get started. First, open your Google Apps Control Panel and go to settings. From here click Sites under services. Then web address mapping and add a new web address. 

You'll need the name of the Site you want to add. In this example the site is called dashboard. So, we'll enter that here. Now you need to put in the sub domain you'll use for this site. This could be www or really anything you'd like. It doesn't have to match the name of the site as it is entered here, but in this case we'll use dashboard as the sub domain. When you have that entered in click "Save Changes"

Some instruction for completing the process will appear. Pay close attention to the instructions because they may be different than what we do here.

In this example we need to go to GoDaddy, which is our domain host provider, and create a CName record called dashboard and set its destination to ghs.google.com. 

So I'll open a new tab in my browser, and log into my domain host. Just remember you'll need to use the domain host provider for your domain. Refer to your domain host provider's documentation to make the changes to your DNS Settings. 

The tool may look different depending on your domain host provider, but in general you need to create a CName record or domain alias host name for the sub domain. In this example, it's dashboard, then have it point to ghs.google.com.

Save your new record and you're done. Just be aware that it may take up to 48 hours for these changes to take effect. But once the changes are made, you should be able to enter the new custom URL and be redirected to your Google Site.

If you'd like to learn more about managing your domain or more about Google Sites, check out our help centers here (links to http://support.google.com/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99448 and http://support.google.com/sites/?hl=en) or go tosupport.google.com/a

Retired hurt: 
It was inevitable, wasn't it? Du Plessis limps back to the dug out on 133 off 115 balls.

Century, cramps and sixes: 
Du Plessis is doing just about everything here! He reached his century but has been struggling with cramps. He smashed two straight sixes off Axar Patel and had the physio run over to help him stretch. He managed to continue, tonked the third six off the over and fell on his back with cramps. Dhoni came to his help from behind the stumps to help him stretch before the physio was out in the middle again. The long over ended with Du Plessis fetching a boundary over extra-cover. That's 24 runs in the over! Du Plessis and De Villiers have now added 150 runs for the third wicket! South Africa 340 for two in 43 overs!

My 434-revisited concept is not all lost! 

Milestone: 300 comes up

De Villiers brings up South Africa's 300 with a devastating blow over deep mid-wicket off Mohit. South Africa have reached 300 in just the 41st over.

Meanwhile in Mysuru: 
Karnataka have held their nerve to see off a draw against Haryana. Virender Sehwag's side will take three points based on first-innings lead.

AB, AB, AB: 
Crowds all over India have chanted AB de Villiers' name all through the series. The Wankhede isn't behind in this effort! He's got his fifty, got a few shots going and has enough overs left to take his batting madness to an all new level. SA 283 for two in 39 overs.

Milestone: FIFTY for De Villiers
And the South African skipper gets to his milestone with a six! He's taken just 34 balls.SA 276 for two in 38.2 overs.

What a platform: 
Faf du Plessis (79 off 92 balls) and AB de Villiers (44 off 30 balls) have positioned themselves for a manic sprint to the finish. SA 261 for two in 37 overs. How much more can these two get in 78 deliveries? Can they go past 350?

Out of options: 
Dhoni has turned to the 'gentle medium-pace' of Virat Kohli here as the majority of the bowlers have struggled today. The Indian Test skipper, to his credit, does well to concede just five runs.

WICKET: Raina gets the breakthrough!
And Quinton de Kock is gone! A bit of fatigue, there? He went aerial again but failed to clear Virat Kohli at long-off. Is this where India make a comeback or is the platform set for AB de Villiers to blaze away? 

Phenominal Consistency: Fifty for Faf
Faf du Plessis has brought up his fourth fifty of the series. What an exceptional performer he has been this tour!

Will the 434 game be revisited? Indian fans can only hope

STAT: De Kock destined for greatness

Take a bow, De Kock: 

Quinton de Kock absolutely loves playing against India, doesn't he? He has brought up a devastating century off just 78 balls, his FIFTH against India. At the rate he is scoring, he might get to a double ton. Incredible, incredible batting from the baby-faced southpaw.

Superb stand: 
De Kock and Du Plessis have added over 100 runs for the second wicket here. The Mumbai heat is not helping the Indian bowlers either. They're struggling on a nothing track as De Kock inches towards yet another century against India. South Africa reach 142 for one in 20 overs.

Milestone: FIFTY for De Kock
He loves playing against India, doesn't he? Quinton de Kock has yet another half-century, coming off 42 balls and involving 10 strokes dispatched to the boundary. Excellent batting from the Southpaw.

Powerplay: SA 73 for 1 in 10 overs
Despite the fall of Hashim Amla, the first round of the final bout goes to the visitors as they've raked up the runs in the powerplay overs. Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla have not taken the foot off the pedal even as India pressed for an advantage after removing Amla. 

Seamers struggle: 
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohit Sharma have struggled today, conceding 61 runs in seven overs. Won't be a surprise if Dhoni employs spin from both ends. 

Disciplined start: Good start from Harbhajan Singh. He bowls with a leg slip in place and concedes just one run. Just the kind of control Dhoni would like on this game after the pacers leaked a truckload of runs. SA 53 for one in seven overs.

Spin soon?: Bhajji warming up
Our man Vishaal says Harbhajan Singh was warming up during the Mohit Sharma over when Amla got out. Will the wicket make an change to the plan or will we seen spin introduced soon. Given how well De Kock has got going, a spinner will be a good punt here.

WICKET: Amla goes
Mohit Sharma strikes! For all the breathtaking display of batting, Hashim has fallen prey to extra bounce here! He did not anticipate it, chased after a slightly shortish and wide delivery and nicked it to MS Dhoni. Amla departs for 23, finishing the series with 89 runs in five innings.

STAT ATTACK: Amla becomes the fastest to reach 6,000 ODI runs
The SA opener has brought up the milestone in 126 matches!

Good start: Amla, De Kock play their shots

Superb outfield and a batting track - Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock will revel on this wicket. Bhuvneshwar and Mohit have already conceded three fours between them in an over each. It's going to be an energy-sapping day for the hosts in the field. Will be interesting to see how soon Dhoni brings a spinner on.

Wankhede filling fast: Our man Vishaal Loganathan is at the Wankhede and he says the stands are not full yet but the noise level, as expected, is incredible. Normal day in the office, then!

Toss: South Africa opt to bat
AB de Villiers has won the toss and opted to bat first here. Chris Morris and Aaron Phangiso make way for Dean Elgar and Kyle Abbott. India go in with an unchanged line-up.

INDIA XI: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Axar Patel, Harbhajan Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Mohit Sharma

SOUTH AFRICA XI: Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers, David Miller, Dean Elgar, Farhaan Behardien, Dale Steyn, Imran Tahir, Kyle Abbott, Kagiso Rabada

Preview: The iconic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai is primed for a top-quality tussle on Sunday as India and South Africa seek to fight it out for the One-Day International (ODI) series honours. For all the criticism and scrutiny faced by Dhoni and his men, they have done well to claw their way back from two high-pressure deficits to gain parity and a shot at bragging rights. As for the visitors, they have thrilled and fallen flat alternatively, and will hope to bring a fruitful end to the pattern in the finale.
