Disney has put together a fascinating and informative look at the process that takes an animated film from concept to file frame. Cogswell's Project X students know the process well since it's the same one they follow as they create the short animations produced during the class.
Follow Disney artists from storyboard – with a breathtaking 227,246 storyboards but who's counting – to the final version of the film.

Topic: replacing a div element with a generated table
I need to write a javascript function that would generate a table between a <div> and </div> beacons.
It would have two parameters: a div_element parameter, and an array
it should replace the contents of the div_element with a table made of the array elements.
How do I tell him where to insert the html?
I've looked at the prototype.js, but there are some things I don't get:
Element.Methods= {
replace: function(element, html) {
element = $(element);
if (element.outerHTML) {
element.outerHTML = html.stripScripts();
} else {
var range = element.ownerDocument.createRange();
range.createContextualFragment(html.stripScripts()), element);
setTimeout(function() {html.evalScripts()}, 10);
do I have to declare my function with Element.Methods = { ...} too in order to have it operate the div_element?
can I just define an html_table variable, store the generated html for the table in it, and then reuse this code replacing html with html_table?
How can I reuse the functions like $() defined in prototype.js?

Introducing our project
In my earliest memory of hunting for chanterelles, I'm squatting on squishy fir needles. (I would have been four, maybe five years old, so I didn't have to stoop very low to reach the ground.) I'm chasing mushrooms from one to the next, always able to look up and find another golden bit poking out. … Continue reading

Jason, what kind of pizza are you trying to replicate? A thin crust or a deep dish? Any particular pizzeria?
. . . On a related note.. we live in Gobles area.. go to Kzoo for most pizza choices (Bimbos, Bilbo's, Fricanos, Martinis, Erabelli's). Most of them are pretty /very good, but we still have not found a place as good as CHI (Aurelio's, Fox's for thin crust - Old World, Lou's for deep dish and Giordano's for stuffed) .... I would love to get your thoughts on some good places to try. We are willing to venture beyond kzoo for pizza!!!Thanks again for your info /comments!

It was first semiconductor division of Siemens AG, which manufactured and developed various chips and dynamic random access memory (DRAM), that got spun off to form Infineon AG in 1999. In 2006, Infineon itself spun off its memory business into separate legal entity called Qimonda AG. By late 2009, a decade after Siemens got rid of its chip business, the DRAM maker will be shut down forever, various media reports claim.
Various media reports claim that insolvency administrator Michael Jaffé as well as worker's council agreed to switch the DRAM factory in Dresden, Germany, forever by the end of the year and sell off the remaining equipment in pieces. At present there are only two hundred employees working to maintain the fabrication tools and about one hundred will be laid off because of the decision.
Qimonda filed for insolvency on the 23rd of January, 2009. The insolvency administration was trying to find investors who would acquire the larger part of the company's European operations with some help from German and Portuguese governments.
In May it was reported that sources familiar with the proceedings reportedly indicated that so far serious interests has not been expressed in Qimonda as a DRAM manufacturer, but only in parts of the company, such as intellectual property or specific parts of the equipment.
In July it became clear that no investors would be found and the insolvency administrator appointed several companies to sell the equipment from the factory in Dresden.
In early August memory makers Elpida and Winbond expressed interest to acquire graphics memory intellectual property and other GDDR-related assets from Qimonda.
With Qimonda gone, DRAM manufacturing will disappear from Europe. At present, the lion's share of memory is already produced in Asia with one manufacturer (Elpida) remaining in Japan and one (Micron) based in the U.S.

A grand but faded 18th-century estate, part of a legendary vineyard in Bordeaux, undergoes a dazzling transformation worthy of Marie Antoinette
Georgian Revival: Susan Hable Smith at Home
A grand but faded 18th-century estate, part of a legendary vineyard in Bordeaux, undergoes a dazzling transformation worthy of Marie AntoinetteMore
"We didn't want to make a fashiony interior," says the Paris-based designer Michael Coorengel. "For us, decoration should look almost natural." So, when he and his partner, Jean-Pierre Calvagrac, set out to rejuvenate an 18th-century manor house in the Bordeaux wine region, it made sense to them to re-create a Louis XVI—style decor.
A pair of 18th-century obelisks and a 19th-century Louis XVI—style light fixture in the hall; the ceiling was hand painted, and the marble flooring was laid in a traditional 18th-century design.
Period appropriate, yes, but upon first sight, the color palette seems strikingly, almost shockingly, modern. Walls are bright green, sunny yellow, vivid turquoise, and deep teal. Yet, Coorengel points out, these are exactly the type of shades that originally would have been used at Versailles. After all, colors fade over 300 years. "Back then, Versailles was psychedelic, multicolored, like being in space," he says. "It was the standard for design. Imagine having a palace done by Zaha Hadid. It would have been the same effect."
The library of a French château decorated by Michael Coorengel and Jean-Pierre Calvagrac features a Directoire sofa that retains its original velvet, a 19th-century table and chandelier, and an 18th-century armchair with its original needlepoint upholstery; the paneling is painted in Canopee by Zuber.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

They taste different to how they did before. The oil is now darker. It's not as tasty as it used to be and the price has increased. I will shop around for a different brand, but for now I will keep buying these.

I keep reordering this product because it's tasty, although it has a smoke flavor not specified on the label. Several times it had sand-like crunchy particles in it. However these are still the best sardines I could find on iHerb.

Herbalife Hires Bankers as Ackman Showdown Looms (Correct)
(Story corrects timing of Herbalife analyst day.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the wake of allegations made by hedge fund investor William Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management that Herbalife(HLF) in nothing more than a multi-billion-dollar pyramid scheme, the company said Monday it has hired investment bank Moelis & Co. as an adviser and will hold a meeting with analysts to rebut Ackman's comments on Jan. 10.
The embattled health-supplements seller, which has received Ackman's scrutiny for its multi-level marketing sales arrangement, also said in a Monday press release that it has yet to use $950 million of a $1 billion five-year share-repurchase program authorized by its board because of "trading blackout period restrictions."
The statement may address analyst questions on why Herbalife had been hesitant to launch a large buyback to flush out Ackman's short trade. Herbalife now says it expects to exceed its previously announced quarterly guidance of $50 million in share buybacks in coming quarters.
The string of Monday announcements wasn't able to stem a share-price decline of almost 40% since Ackman disclosed to CNBC on Dec. 19 that he is short the company's shares and argued that its multi-level marketing arrangement is a pyramid scheme.
In Monday trading, Herbalife shares fell over 4% to $26.06, bringing the 2012 loss to roughly 50%.
Herbalife's Jan. 10 investor meeting will mark its formal rebuttal to Ackman's allegations and specifies that the company will detail a "comprehensive response to investor questions on its business model," in addition to color on "regulatory perspectives" and an "update on the business and strong growth prospects," the company said in the Monday press release.
After CNBC's Dec. 19 report of Ackman's short, Herbalife Chief Executive Michael O. Johnson took to the network's airwaves shortly thereafter to mount a vigorous defense against allegations of a pyramid scheme, and called the short position "market manipulation."
Johnson was unable to stem share losses that continued on Thursday as Pershing Square detailed the investment at the Ira Sohn Conference . "Herbalife is not an illegal pyramid scheme," the company said in a Thursday statement.
Bullish Wall Street research analysts have also had little luck defending Herbalife from Ackman's short trade, which he told Bloomberg Television stands at over 20% of the company's outstanding shares.
Previously, Herbalife said it would conduct an analyst day on the week of Jan. 7 to respond in detail to "the distorted, outdated and inaccurate information contained in Pershing Square's presentation."
In notes reiterating "buy" recommendations, analysts at Cannacord Genuity and R. Riley & Co. made a comparison between Ackman's short and a similar trade made by convicted fraudster and ponzi scheme artist Barry Minkow.
Meanwhile, D.A. Davidson analyst Timothy Ramey questioned whether Ackman understimates the demand for Herbalife products because of his residence in Chappaqua, N.Y., an upscale New York suburb that may be sheltered from the health concerns of the ordinary public.

Bill Stevens was in the hospital only about 12 hours this week — but long enough for Bill Mirick to find him, thank him for his service to the country and give him a small U.S. flag.
"I thought I was just another spot in a bed," said a surprised 51-year-old Stevens, who served in the Army in 1979-80.
An effort by OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital to ensure that every hospitalized veteran gets a visit and a thank-you from a fellow veteran began about a year ago.
Among the lessons learned: Never underestimate the value of a simple gesture of gratitude.
"The most important thing is the presentation of that flag," said Mirick, an 82-year-old volunteer in the program.
"You can see their eyes brighten, their faces light up. It's amazing."
I followed Mirick, a member of VFW Post 2398 in Worthington who has made more than 160 visits, on his rounds this week.
A big man with a big heart, Mirick — a former Navy "frogman" in the Korean War — worried initially that he'd have a hard time breaking the ice.
Yet his easy manner — and the bond he shares with other veterans — puts people at ease.
He likes to get down on one knee to be at eye level with a patient in bed.
He always has a military joke or two at the ready, changing the branch of service in the punch line to suit the situation. And he always leaves information on well-known and lesser-known benefits. (In Ohio, for example, Purple Heart recipients get a free driver's license.)
In a year of volunteering, he has come across just one patient who refused a visit.
He has stopped in rooms where families sat rapt while patients told Mirick war stories they hadn't told before.
"I'll come out of some of those rooms crying," said Mirick, who has war stories of his own he hasn't told.
His most memorable visit was with a young woman who had lost both legs in Afghanistan. She gave birth to a baby at Riverside.
"She was so upbeat," he said. "She had these spring-type (prostheses), and she said, 'I can outrun my husband on these.'"
The veterans' initiative was started by Gerry O'Shaughnessy, longtime manager of Riverside volunteer services.
She calls it the most rewarding program she has started at the hospital "because it really touches people."
Before I left him, I joined Mirick in the room of a 65-year-old, Peter Soter, who had served with the Marines in the Vietnam War era.
Soter got a flag, a lapel pin and an information packet. And, as Mirick left the room, he left Soter with one more thing: a salute, from one veteran to another.

All electric breast pumps that are loaned to participants and have been purchased with WIC funds, including Breastfeeding Peer Counseling and Enhancement Grant funds, must have a WIC tag attached to the pump. This includes the less expensive breast pumps, such as the Bailey Nurture III. Verification of each agency's electric breast pump inventory will be completed during local monitoring visits.

Great product--just wish it was sold in larger quantities. Great for grain-free baking and makes low-carb living much more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
High fiber low carb alternative
Posted by Reviewer2664686 on Aug 03, 2009
Great choice for those looking for a low carb alternative to flour. Or more fiber. Or just to try it. It's different and challenging to bake with, but there are many recipes online. I made some really moist chocolate cupcakes, and no one could tell it's made from coconut flour. Tried to make muffins that turned out too thick. I say, try it and have fun and enjoy the health benefits as well.

Mixed it with a large bag (5#) of flour - all my baked goods have a wonderful flavor thanks to the coconut flour.

Lots of good news here. Thanks to all of our great volunteers we have been making lots of progress on the Emma McCrary Trail and I hope that we will be opening before the end of March, weather permitting.
Our last workday began with tasty coffee from Verve Coffee Roasters and Rebecca's Mighty Muffins from Rebecca's at the Tannery (they have beer too for post ride recovery). The 25 volunteers split up into two teams and hand built the several hundred feet across the meadows that connect Golf Club Drive to the portion of the trail we built earlier in the year. After a hard day's work we enjoyed pizza and beverages courtesy of Eric Decker. Special thanks to Pierre Tardiff who climbed two large beautiful oaks near the southern bridge site and removed a huge amount of ivy from the trees. They look great now!
We have also been busy working on the U-Con end of the trail. For the last five weeks we have had high school volunteers working with the Santa Cruz Natural History Museum's Earth Stewards Project come work on the trail. The students from Natural Bridges and Ponderosa High Schools have been great! The last three weeks they collected rocks and built two walls on the north end of the trail. This Friday we will have students from Ponderosa, Natural Bridges, and Georgiana Bruce Kirby working on the trail and hope to finish cutting the north end of the trail. Thank you to Peter at the Natural History Museum for coordinating these groups.
Speaking of bridges, work has begun on the first of our two big bridges. Big, big, thank you to regular volunteer and professional contractor John Cunniff for providing his construction knowledge and experience and leading the effort to get the bridge work started. Also, thank you to Brad and Bruce for providing some pro-bono engineering work.
On President's Day John, Tom, Gary, Emilio donated their holiday to install forms and rebar for the abutments of the bridge on the south end of the trail a few hundred feet from Golf Club Drive. It is likely John will be working on finishing up the abutments Wednesday and/or Friday and could use a helper or two. Please email me if you are interested in helping.
Which brings me to our next workday this Sunday February 24th. We are hoping that we will be transporting and pouring concrete for the abutments and maybe moving the stringers to the bridge sites, as well as a few other tasks. This day will take some organizing with several different crews going, so please sign up at www.trailworkers.com, it really helps!
We will be meeting at the Pogonip Ranger Station at 9am and working until 1pm. Park your car or bike at the gate at the end of Golf Club Drive and walk up the paved road for about 10 minutes. The ranger station is a few hundred feet past the old clubhouse. Parking has been real tight on workdays at Golf Club Drive and there have been some complaints from neighbors. It would be great if people could park at the City corporation yard lot or along Golf Club Drive before the train trestle.
We will have very tasty coffee to get us started donated by Verve Coffee Roasters as well as Rebecca's Mighty Muffins donated by Rebecca's at the Tannery. Pizza lunch after work courtesy of Amy Haberman D.C.
Please bring sturdy shoes, long pants, gloves, and water. Tools and instruction will be provided.

I've been asked before what we do with the second radio on airliners, so I'm here to tell you (this assumes an aircraft with two required radios and a backup). Are you ready? It depends….
If the airplane is equipped with ACARS (Aircraft Crew Alerting and Reporting System, sort of an in-flight email/fax system), most of the time you will monitor 121.5. If the airplane is not ACARS equipped, or if the ACARS is out of service, the procedures will vary a bit from company to company, but most of the time, you will monitor a designated company radio frequency.
Since my airline flies for Delta, we monitor the Atlanta Radio network. That way Delta can spy on us, plus it saves having to build our own network nationwide, which would make it harder for Delta to spy on us. We have available to us a map that shows what frequency we are supposed to use in a given area. There are approximately eight or nine airborne sections of the United States, plus a few each in Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, et cetera. Because the FARs require that an airline be capable of contacting any airplane at any time, crews must monitor a designated company frequency or have functional alternative, such as ACARS.
There are also a number of locations where dial-up ground frequencies are available.
Our network is guaranteed to work above a certain altitude, again, per the FARs.
As for when the number two radio is used, well, this is the "it depends" area. We can use the company frequency for a number of things: calling for weather updates, advising the company of a hold or delay or a diversion, discussing maintenance issues with the dispatcher or mechanic, passenger service issues, or any number of emergencies or critical events. It can be a little disconcerting to hear a full-blown emergency in progress, especially if you happen to be on the same ATC frequency as the crew that is in distress. But it's also good to see how others handle certain situations to compare to your own methodology.
Company radio is only supposed to be used for company, flight-specific information, but it isn't unusual for someone to request football scores or election results. Occasionally, a pair of pilots will recognize each others' voice on the ATC frequency, and they will switch an air-to-air frequency on the number two radio to chat for a couple of minutes. Not exactly what's supposed to be done, but it is never for very long, and for the most part it's no-harm, no-foul.
Closer to the airport, each station has its own frequency, similar to an FBO. Crews will call "in range" anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes out, workload permitting. This is an opportunity to verify the gate and relay any specific needs, which might be mundane (bags of ice) to the more important customer needs (wheelchairs). It's also a chance to give a station a heads up on any potential delays or issues for the outbound flight.
In short, the number two radio is often used exactly as you use it today in general aviation. With two pilots–especially when something is going wrong–it can be your most valuable asset. In fact, the FARs require at least two functioning primary radios, so if one of them fails, you aren't going anywhere. It's that important.–Chip Wright

Unconventional Wisdom: Axel Vervoordt on the Perfect Mix
The Italian island of Pantelleria lies between Sicily and Tunisia, closer to Africa than Europe. Scarcely known in the U.S., the Mediterranean outpost has had its share of celebrity residents, including French film icon Gérard Depardieu and Calypso, the nymph of Homer's Odyssey. Since the late 1970s Pantelleria has also been home, at least some of the time, to the internationally renowned Italian architect and designer Flavio Albanese.
The pergola on designer Flavio Albanese's compound on the island of Pantelleria contains a Tokyo Pop lounge chair by Tokujin Yoshioka and low-slung benches covered in pillows.
A dedicated modernist, Albanese creates environments that are angular, clean, and white—in a word, urban. But when he first saw the hardscrabble volcanic landscape of Pantelleria, he says, the effect was "as if I had been electrocuted. I had found my Shangri-la, my physical and spiritual Eden."
Albanese's photography collection, displayed in the dining area, includes images by Robert Mapplethorpe and Karl Lagerfeld. The chairs with cotton slipcovers are by Philippe Starck for Driade.

An act of kindness
Dear editor:
Friday afternoon before the Fair, while we were getting cows ready, our mainstay big animal clippers started cutting on and off. Too late to lose them for days, we were sure we were done for. As a last resort, we called Warren Electric Motor to see if he could perform an instant miracle.
Not only did he agree to see what he could do, but when my wife picked them up on her way home from work two hours later, not only were they fixed, but they had a brand new extra long cord and an old make-do replacement body screw had been replaced with the correct one. Asked what we owed him, his response was, "Well, the kids are using these at the Fair, right? It's on me."
Thank you, Warren Electric Motor. The clippers ran beautifully, the kids had a great time, and Pine Grove Pioneers 4-H Club owes you a huge thank you for coming through in an emergency.

Topic: Schecdualing plugin
I am looking for a plugin that will add my app the ability to schedule background tasks through a web ui. Something like a web based cron...
I want that the user that has scheduled a task could see what was the last time the task has run and what was the exit code or log messages of the last time the task ran.
I found some rails plugin like backgroundrb but I couldn't understand if it fit my demands, in first glance it doesn't since in order to set a task to run in a cronish way I need to configure it through a YML file and not through the database in such a way my users can use that feature...I recognized the schedule_at feature but it is not exactly what I am looking for.
I can think of some implementations to my demands but iI wanted to be sure no one has implemented such a plugin before I start implement it myself.
What do you say?

Flowers and greens of the season
Fresh boughs of pine or juniper, a brilliant red amaryllis — flowers and greens of the season make for festive, splendid displays at this time of year, full of color. Around the world, homes are prepared for the holidays using natural materials — holly, ivy, mistletoe, lilies, Christmas cactus and Christmas bells, olive branches, berries, even wheat and pomegranates in other parts of the world.
Beyond their natural beauty, the symbolism of some of these greens, branches and flowers adds meaning to the season.
According to lore, ivy leaves symbolize eternity and resurrection. European mistletoe, a green shrub with small, yellow flowers and white berries is hung over a doorway to invite a kiss. Holly — a symbol of truth–is strung in wreathes.
In Israel, olive branches are placed in homes for peace in the new year.
Pomegranates are a popular decoration in the Middle East and Greece. There, they represent prosperity. In Bulgaria, wheat sheaves are the symbol for prosperity and abundance.
There's hope and inspiration to be found in nature's beauty. I find promise in the impulse so many of us have to decorate during the holidays. Bringing greens and flowers inside becomes a celebration of nature itself.

Catholic Charities New York
In a special video message, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan, executive director of Catholic Charities New York, reflects on the significance of Easter as the central celebration of the Christian faith. It is this celebration of new life, he says, that is at the heart of the work of Catholic Charities, which brings the hope of new beginnings to those in our community who are suffering and in need of help.
Easter is the central feast of our Christian faith, and in a certain sense it really is what is at the essence of Catholic Charities, because it is about new life.
We work with people who tragically have experienced much suffering in their lives. But what we do at Catholic Charities is to say that there is hope, there is possibility of transformation, and as we celebrate Easter we have an incredible confirmation that even the most tragic suffering can be transformed in to new life - whether it be a family that is homeless, a family who is struggling from breakup, whether it is a child who tragically has been neglected or even abused.
Easter gives us great hope, and enables us to recommit ourselves to rebuilding the lives of those who come to Catholic Charities seeking help.

Ecosystem Roles
Honeybees are very important pollinators, and are the primary pollinator for many plants. Without honeybees, these plants have greatly reduced fertility. In North America and Australia, where there are no native bee species with large colonies, honeybees can have especially strong effects on native flowers, and on other pollinators such as solitary bee species. Honeybees ability to recruit fellow workers by "dancing" allows them to be more efficient than other pollinators at exploiting patches of flowers. This can create strong impacts on their competitors, especially solitary bees.
Like all social insects, honeybees are hosts to a variety of parasites, commensal organisms, and pathogenic microbes. Some of these can be serious problems for apiculture, and have been studied intensively. At least 18 types of viruses have been found to cause disease in bees, including Sacbrood disease. Several of them (but not sacbrood virus) are associated with parasitic mites. Bacteria infect bees, notably Bacillus larvae, agent of American Foulbrood disease, and Melissococcus pluton, agent of European Foulbrood. Fungi grow in bee hives, and Ascosphaera apis can cause Chalkbrood disease. One of the most common diseases in domesticated hives is Nosema disease, caused by a protozoan, Nosema apis. An amoeba, Malphigamoeba mellificae, also causes disease in honeybees.
In recent decades, two mite species have spread through domesticated and feral honeybee populations around the world. Acarapis woodi is a small mite species that lives in the tracheae of adult bees and feeds on bee hemolymph. It was first discovered in Europe, but its origin is unknown. Infestations of these mites weaken bees, and in cold climates, whole colonies may fail when the bees are confined in the hive during the winter. A much worse threat is Varroa destructor. This might evolved on an Asian honeybee, Apis cerana, but switched on to Apis mellifera colonies that were set up in east Asia. It has since spread all around the world, except Australia. Juvenile mites feed on bee larvae and pupae, and adult female mites feed and disperse on adult workers. This mite is known to spread several viruses as well. Infestations of V. destructor often wipe out colonies. Nearly all the feral, untended honeybee colonies in North American are believed to have been wiped out by mite infestations, along with a large proportion of domesticated colonies. Other mite species are known from honeybee colonies, but they are not considered harmful.
Another commensal or parasitic species is Braula coeca, the bee louse. Despite the common name, this is actually a wingless fly, that apparently feeds by intercepting food being transferred from one bee to another.
Beetles in the genera Hylostoma and Aethina are found in African honeybee nests, where they seem to do little harm. However, the "small hive beetle", Aethina tumida, has become a significant problem in European and North American hives. The larvae eat all the contents of comb: honey, pollen, and bee eggs and larvae. (Adjare, 1990; Roubik, 1989; Sammataro and Avitabile, 1998)

For centuries, religion has been the foundation upon which societies around the world have been built. And for centuries, disagreements about religion have caused unrest throughout the world.
The Comparative Religion minor at WMU explores religions around the world and throughout history and looks at religion as a part of culture and in relation to other parts of culture. Students in the program are presented with a global mindset that is highly sought by employers and graduate schools.
This minor from the Department of Comparative Religion helps prepare students for graduate studies or a variety of employment options. In addition, courses in this minor are completely available online, which makes it incredibly convenient. The program strives to foster other marketable skills while students explore their interest in religion.
Any WMU students interested in enhancing their degree with a Comparative Religion minor should apply.
The Comparative Religion minor provides students with knowledge and skills that are relevant to a large range of professions including health care, government, business, culture and the arts, journalism and religious vocations.
If your employer has a tuition reimbursement program, find out about WMU's deferment program for employer paid tuition.
Washington Monthly placed WMU on a list of national universities that offer "the best bang for the buck." WMU came in at No. 50 based on the economic value students receive per dollar.

Gnocchi with Prosciutto, Spring Peas, and Chanterelles
- 1 1/2 cups fresh peas (frozen can be substituted in a pinch)
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- Pinch crushed red pepper
- 1/4 pound prosciutto, sliced into 1/2-inch wide slices
- 2 cups chanterelle mushrooms, brushed or lightly rinsed and pulled apart
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 recipe Chef Anne's Light as a Cloud Gnocchi (I recommend to make a full recipe and freeze half for another use), recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmigiano
- 1/2 bunch chopped chives
- 5 large Idaho potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano
- 3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Bring 2 pots, 1 large and 1 medium, with well-salted water to a boil over medium heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the fresh peas in the medium pot of boiling water until they are cooked but still crunchy and then immediately plunge them into the salted ice water. Remove them from the ice water and reserve.
Coat a large saute pan over medium heat with olive oil. Add the smashed garlic cloves and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to a medium high heat. When the garlic has become golden brown and is very aromatic, remove it and discard. Add the prosciutto and saute until it starts to get crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes, and TASTE to see if they are delicious (they should be!).
Add the peas and chicken stock. Season with salt, TASTE IT (it should be more delicious). Simmer until the stock has reduced by about half.
While the stock is reducing, add the gnocchi to the large pot of salted boiling water. Cook the gnocchi until they float and get very puffy. The gnocchi should be really puffy.
While the gnocchi is in the boiling water, add the butter to the pan with the mushroom mixture. Cook over low heat and swirl to incorporate. TASTE and adjust seasoning if needed.
When the gnocchi are cooked, carefully remove them from the cooking water and add them to the pan with the mushrooms. Toss or stir to combine. Cook the gnocchi with mushroom mixture until it clings to the gnocchi. Add the grated Parmigiano and the chopped chives. Transfer to serving bowls and serve immediately.
Call yourself a superstar!
Preheat the oven to 375 or 400 degrees F.
Bake the potatoes until they are fork tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check them!
While the potatoes are still hot peel and pass them through a food mill or ricer. (I find that the food mill works just as well as a ricer and is much easier to handle) onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. When doing this pay careful attention to keep the potatoes as light and fluffy as possible. This will aid in keeping the gnocchi light. Refrigerate the potatoes on the sheet tray until cold. This is also a very important step. If the potatoes are warm while adding flour they will require more flour which will result in a much heavier finished product.
When the potatoes are absolutely cold, transfer to a clean work surface. Beat together the eggs and cheese and pour onto the potatoes. Season with salt. Cover generously with flour. It should look like snow on the mountains.
Crumble the potato flour mixture between your fingers. Begin to knead the dough until it is a dry homogeneous mixture. The dough should feel slightly moist, but not tacky. If too tacky, repeat the snow on the mountains stage.
Form the dough into a large log. Cut slices off the log and begin to roll into long ropes that are about 1-inch in thickness. Cut the ropes into 1/2-inch lengths. Cover generously with flour. Place the gnocchi in a single layer on a sheet tray dusted with flour. DO NOT PILE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER!!
Use or freeze the gnocchi immediately. If freezing, place tray directly into the freezer. Once frozen, the gnocchi can be stored in plastic bags, in the freezer, indefinitely. When cooking gnocchi they can go directly from the freezer into salted boiling water.
Note: It is a general practice to take gnocchi out of the water when they float. This is a big mistake. Gnocchi need to be cooked in boiling water until they float and get nice and puffy. Not cooking gnocchi long enough will also result in heavy gnocchi.
P.S. These are Chef Anne "Secrets" to great gnocchi, use them and you will be successful every time.

Mississippi College will focus on faith in business during the L.D. Jordan Business Through the Eyes of Faith Week event, a special series of programs held on campus February 20-23.
Sponsored by the MC School of Business, the event focuses on equipping MC business students with Christian principles that will guide them throughout their personal and professional lives. February 20-21, the business faculty will incorporate faith and ethics teachings and exercises into their lesson plans. On February 22, MC alumni and business leaders will participate in classes, sharing their real world experience in incorporating their faith into their careers and businesses. The event will conclude on February 23 with a luncheon featuring keynote speaker Mike Ducker, COO of FedEx, a company recognized worldwide for maintaining the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
The L.D. Jordan Business Through the Eyes of Faith Week is named in honor of Don "Papa" Jordan '51, a prominent Tennessee businessman and entrepreneur. Jordan made a generous gift to the MC School of Business, specifying that the money be used to establish an endowment for developing programs and attracting speakers focused on integrating faith in the workplace. It's Jordan's hope that the program will inspire future business leadersto integrate their faith into every aspect of their lives, including their professions.
"Life is like a three-legged stool," Jordan explains. "One leg represents the professional, one the spiritual, and the third family and friends. If all three legs are not in balance, the stool will topple, but if all three are given equal attention, the stool – your life – will be stable. Most business people grow that business leg too long, but I've never known a truly happy person in my life who didn't have three equal legs."

Today's "Photo of the Week" comes from Foreign Service Officer Christopher Wurst, and from the time he spent as the Public Affairs Officer in Zambia. Christopher describes the circumstances that led up to the photo: "I was leading an Embassy outreach program in Zambia's remote Western Province. Half of the vast province is literally cut off from the rest of the country (and the rest of the world) for half the year when the rains come. There are many fisher-families that lead essentially nomadic lives here, traveling on the flood plain and camping on islands. The HIV/AIDS rate among them is much higher than the country's average. While we were out there, a huge U.S.-funded (and CDC managed) HIV counseling and testing program was going on, and nomadic fisher-people from all over were drawn to the spectacle. There was music and dancing, as part of skits to educate people about HIV/AIDS in the local language. George -- a Foreign Service National [local employee] from the political section -- jumped in and started dancing with the troupe, and I snapped this shot. It was the most remote place I've ever been."
On Sunday, July 18, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby travels to Vienna, Austria, to lead the U.S. delegation to this year's International AIDS conference. The United States will share data and best practices with the estimated 25,000 participants, as well as the lessons we've learned from the programs supported by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1
Cold In-place Recycling (CIR) is a method of reconstructing any flexible pavement where the need arises from structural failures. These failures include: transverse cracking, wheel rutting, potholes, surface irregularities, or a combination of the above.
The proper selection of a CIR process in conjunction with good specifications and quality construction are all equally important in the long-term performance of the pavement rehabilitation.
This series on CIR will introduce each method and provide a background on when, how, and why that method is selected/used.
This training is meant to provide an overview of CIR, including an explanation of the pre-production inspection, completing the control strip, full production of the mix, mix placement, curing and maintenance, acceptance testing, and measurement and payment. This course contains 3 modules:
Module 1: Introduction to Cold In-Place Recycling
Module 2: Cold In-Place Recycling Full Production
Module 3: Cold In-Place Recycling Post Production
This course will provide the inspector with a background and proper inspection procedures when placing cold-in-place hot mix asphalt.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
This training is designed for Local, County, and State owner agency technicians/inspectors. It is also useful for individuals who need awareness or basic understanding of cold in-place recycling. This training was developed by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with AASHTO, NHI, and is recommended for TCCC levels II through IV.

Where can I get the seeds? I would love to try my hand at growing those beautiful tomatoes.
You are talking about the canned tomatoes not the seeds. Can you tell the differance from seeds grown in the US?
I purchased fresh san marzanos today at my favorite market in Santa Cruz CA. They look beautiful and are longer and pointier than the regular romas. They smell sweet like the ones in the can. They were $1.39#compared to .99 for romas. I suppose that the farmer got seeds from Italy and grows them here.Any one else see these?
I've been growing five or six different types of heirloom tomatoes for a number of years now.After doing some research in Amy Goldman's wonderful book "The Heirloom Tomato" I added four plants of "Goldman's Italian American" to my crop this year. OMG these are good! It's a sauce tomato but is also delicious raw.The original seeds came from a tomato bought at a roadside grocery store in Cernobbio Italy.I copied this pic off the web from http://www.veranda.com/food-travel/heirloom-tomatoes-amy-goldman-0908?click=main_srThe seeds are available fromhttp://www.underwoodgardens.com/Tomato-Goldmans-Italian-American/productinfo/V1157/

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Aiming For 14,000
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the Dow Jones Industrial Average just a stone's throw away from its five-year high, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday he's not celebrating the milestone, but he's also not assuming this is the top either.
Cramer said there are a lot of reasons why the markets are different this time around. He said that back in 2007 the Dow was at 14,000 based on an unregulated housing market, derivatives that no one understood, a booming Chinese economy and an insatiable appetite for all things tech. But today, the companies that make up the Dow are in far better shape than they were in 2007, and the world's economy is on the mend.
The Dow is just a group of stocks, Cramer reminded viewers, so just think about what would happen if they replaced a stock like Bank of America (BAC) with a stock like Amazon.com (AMZN) .
Cramer noted that Pfizer's (PFE) free cash flow in 2007 was $11 billion. Today, that number is $20 billion. Merck (MRK) had $5 billion in cash flow, while today it has $12 billion. Stocks like Home Depot (HD) , another Dow component, aren't suffering from a crashing housing market but profiting from a growing one.
What of Walt Disney (DIS) ? Isn't that company far better off now, with its Marvell and Lucasfilm acquisitions, than it was in 2007 without them?
Cramer said the markets didn't deserve to be at 14,000 last time, but today they most certainly do.
Off the Charts
In the "Off The Charts" segment, Cramer went head to head with colleague Scott Redler to see if the markets really can stay above their all-time highs. Back on Feb. 14 of last year, Redler boldly predicted the S&P 500 would see 1,700 by 2015. Based on what he's seeing now, Redler feels that target could come a whole lot sooner.
Redler took a long-term view of the S&P using a monthly chart going all the way back to 1976. He noted that during the 1980s, the index rallied 250%. Then during the 1990s, it rallied another 360%. Thus there's precedent for large, multi-year moves to the upside. During the 2000s, however, the markets pulled back and formed a double top with the S&P near 1,500 in 2000 and again in 2008.
So can the S&P get past 1,500 this time? Redler thinks yes. He noted that the S&P's daily chart shows a pattern of higher lows in recent weeks and very little resistance over 1,500. The average is clearly above its eight-day and 21-day moving averages, another sign of strength.
Cramer said he agrees with Redler that after a decade of consolidation it now looks like the S&P 500 and the broader markets are poising for a well-deserved move into record territory.

This was a documentary describing Komodo Dragon and the environment of this interesting reptile. But along with all the facts there were some interesting words directed to the subconscious of the viewers: "About 30 million years ago the Komodo Dragon evolved from a different branch in Asia."
These words express a prejudice based on no scientific foundation. They are unfounded because there is nothing in the fossil record or any physiological reason that points to the fact that these creatures evolved.
Living on the shores of Indonesia, the Komodo Dragon at 3 meters in length and weighing 140 kilograms, is one of the largest lizard in the world. They have their own anatomical and physiological characteristics which display no similarity to the fish or amphibians that are claimed to be their ancestors. (For detailed information see Harun Yahya, The Origin of Reptiles, Darwinism Refuted, Goodword, 2003)
The way that all of Europe has become acquainted with Atlas of Creation and the declaration of the fact that living creatures have remained unchanged for millions of years and that evolution is devoid of any scientific worth have led to a major change of belief among the people of Europe. Independent polls conducted by well-known publishing institutions in different European countries have revealed a major drop in the numbers of people believing in Darwinism and that belief in Allah now dominates Europe. >>
In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood. That God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first made a plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted above all such deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 36: 82)
[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth.
When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 2: 117)

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Jan. 10, 2011) – Three University of Maryland Eastern Shore students contemplating careers in politics will get a full semester of academic credit this spring while working for state lawmakers during the 2011 General Assembly session.
A $15,000 donation from Salisbury attorney Kenneth D. L Gaudreau enabled UMES a year ago to launch a political internship program. Program coordinator Kathryn Barrett-Gaines, a history professor, said the two UMES students selected as interns in 2010 had a positive experience so she recruited three new participants this year.
Criminal justice major Phylicia Henry, a senior from Largo, will work for Del. Melony G. Griffith, District 25 (Prince George's County).
History major Clifford Glover, a junior from Silver Spring, will work for Del. Luiz Simmons, District 17 (Montgomery County).
Criminal justice major Sade Parker, a senior from Upper Marlboro, will work for Sheila E. Hixson, District 20 (Montgomery County).
Gaudreau's gift is used for stipends to help the interns pay expenses while living in the Annapolis area.
Henry says she has long been interested in the issue of human trafficking and pursued a legislative internship hopeful it would be a way for her to study up-close how public policy is made.
"I think I would like to work for the United Nations, or an international agency that combats that problem," Henry said.
Glover, an honors student, said "I'm interested in all the fields of law."
He's also been selected to participate in the "Baltimore Scholars Program," a law school "boot camp" for undergraduates considering a career in law. He's hopeful the experience will enable him to earn a high enough score on the law school entrance exam to qualify for a full scholarship.
"I have a passion … a desire to make things better, and to help people," Glover said. "I think a good lawyer can do that."
Going to law school also might be in Parker's future somedayand she saw working alongside legislators as a way "to gain a better idea of what I would like to do with my future … and possible career choices."
"I need some guidance before I take the next step," Parker said.
Gaudreau was inspired to make the donation after learning UMES has no political-science degree program. "I thought a good way to generate interest in political careers would be through a political internship program," he said, adding he remains hopeful a political science major might someday be added to the curriculum at the historically black institution.
UMES students will work as full-time office staffers, conduct research directed by Barrett-Gaines, keep a journal recording their experiences and write reports. Each will receive 12 credits toward their degree requirements
Barrett-Gaines said UMES is grateful to Gaudreau for sponsoring the internship program because it provides students with an opportunity "to develop leadership skills; network with legislators and interns from other universities; to learn about the state political process from the inside; and explore future career paths."

This page documents all there is to know about our MakerBot. The version we have is a Cup Cake CNC.
The MB has either an Automated Build Platform (ABP) or just a Heated Build Platform (HBP). It is currently set up with the static HBP because of warping on the ABP belt, issues with the electrical connectors, and slop in the positioning. Until those are addressed, please leave the HBP in place.
You should get a walk-through on this machine prior to using it. Our MakerBot is a standard build, but there are some options you should know about, you need to have the right software configuration, and it has some quirks. Contact Roger for more information.
A detailed recap of the operating instructions is beyond the scope of this page. Please get an introduction to the i3 Detroit machine, and read up on the online documentation. How to Print on the MakerBot website
When you're ready to start, load this software on your computer, preferably a laptop since you'll need it to drive the CupCake: ReplicatorG
Connecting to the MakerBot (MB)
Once you've got ReplicatorG (RG) loaded and running, power up the CupCake (MB) and plug the USB cable from it into a free port on your computer. Click on Machine>Driver and choose either the Cupcake w/ Automated Build Platform or CupCake w/ Heated Build Platform. Then click Machine>Serial Port and look for the port that was assigned to the MB. Note that you may have to use the Rescan feature.
Once you've got the MB hooked up, look in the lower window and you should see that RG has recognized both the MB and the extruder and printed out the revision numbers for each.
Loading the Part
At this point you will either need a file (STL format) with something you've designed, or you can look at the built-in examples by clicking on File>Examples and picking something. Choose File>Open if you've got a file of your own.
You should see an image of the thing you designed (or the example) in the main window of RG. Just to make sure it's sitting correctly on the build platform, click Move and then click Center and Put on platform. These are on the menu to the right of the main window, NOT the menu across the top! You're eventually going to want to explore what the other things over there can do, but for now don't mess, unless you're object is bigger than the wireframe box in the main window. If that's the case, you'll need to use the Scale button on the right to shrink it down to a buildable size.
The next thing to do is to generate the GCode that is the list of instructions for the MB. Click the Generate GCode button in the lower right. In the menu that comes up, choose SF35-cupcake-HBP or SF35-cupcake-ABP. For your first builds, Try using the raft by checking that box. The raft provides a good, stable surface that will improve the quality of the output and reduce warpage. The downside is that you have to remove the raft when it's done. Click the Generate GCode button.
Watch the activity in the small lower window where you saw the MB software versions when you first connected it. You should see indications that the code generation is proceeding and then a confirmation when it's done. At this point, you're ready to start the actual build. Click the File>Save to save your GCode and changes.
Set Up and Zero the MB
Click the manual control button, that looks like 4 arrows at the top of the window. Set the extruder temperature to 220 and the build platform temperature to 110. This will pre-heat them while you set the 0 position.
Use the jog buttons on the left side to manually move the extruder head to the center of the platform, with about 1 mm gap in the vertical direction. Set this as the zero position using the button below the position indicators. When you start your build the MB assumes that the extruder is set to this zero position, so remember to check that it's zeroed before EVERY build. Note that as you're jogging the head around, you can choose how far each click will move the head. Make sure, especially in the Z direction, that you don't crash the head into the platform or go off the edge. There is a stop button in the center in case you see it's going to crash. Be ready to click it!
Once it's set, look for the temperature traces on the right to converge to the set points. Then close the manual menu.
Start the Build
Start the build by clicking the second large button across the top. There may be some delay before it moves because it will wait until the extruder head and the build platform reach the target temperature. If it takes too long, cancel and open the manual control menu. It occasionally forgets the set temperature and you'll need to enter 220 and 110 again. Then watch to see that the temperature traces start rising. Go back and restart the build.
Once it reaches the set temperature, the first thing it will do depends upon whether you are using the heated build platform or the automated (and heated) build platform. The former will move the head up, extrude some plastic, and wait just long enough for you to pull off the filament that comes out. Be careful not to scrape the head because it's coated with Teflon. The latter will move the head over, extrude some fiber, then try to wipe it off on the non-existent brush, so you'll have to quickly clean it off.
Once it's going, watch the build carefully to make sure that the filament going into the extruder head does not get hung up. Also, make sure it continues feeding the fiber - you may need to lightly adjust the pressure screw on the extruder head. In extreme cases where it won't extrude, I've had to go to the manual control and back the filament out, cut off the end, and feed it back in. You do this with the extruder controls in the upper right on the manual control menu.
If all goes well, you're build will complete correctly. The single biggest problem we continue to face with this MB is that it will randomly skip a few steps and one layer of your build will be offset (in the X-direction), spoiling the build. It's very difficult to try to restart the build, so if this happens, your build is effectively scrap. Help in resolving this issue would be really nice!
There are other, more complicated things going on that I won't go into here yet. For example, there is a way to edit out the extrude / wipe commands at the beginning of the build, but you either have to find the right commands in the GCode (yes, you can edit it), or edit the start.gcode and end.gcode files for the Skeinforge software that's embedded within the RG software.
Contact Roger S if you have questions or want a walkthrough on the MB.
Maintenance Info
- Worked on the power supply, the original supply ("GREEN" brand) seems to be working again with no indication of problems. Reconnected that power supply and ran all evening on it. No issues with power.
- Nate noticed a bunch of loose cables on the boards; we went over and tightened all connections. Probably the vibrations from rolling the card around the space are responsible for these loosening.
- During a test print, the extruder head dropped too low and dug through the aluminum foil on the HBP. I took the HBP off to replace the foil, while I was at it I added spacing washers between the Heater Board and the Build Platform. This should eliminate the warping of the Heater Board along the front edge where the wires connect.
- I couldn't locate the Kapton tape, so the HBP is currently covered with green painters tape. This seems to work okay, but ideally this should get covered with Kapton.
- After all this, the makerbot is printing decently well. Still needs some fine tuning though.
A list of commonly asked questions
- Add some kind of locking mechanism to electrical connections to the ABP
- Fix the skipping problem

North Country
Officials Join NYPA to Celebrate New FERC License
Carol Simpson
315-764-0226 Ext.
printer-friendly version
July 27, 2004
MASSENA – New York Power Authority officials
joined with local officials and residents from throughout the North
Country and with federal and state officials on Tuesday to celebrate
the beginning of the Power Authority's second half century as
operator of the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project
"This is truly a red-letter day for the Power
Authority and for the North Country," said Louis P. Ciminelli,
chairman of the Power Authority. "I'm particularly delighted to see
so many of the people who contributed so much to the successful
relicensing of the St. Lawrence-FDR Project. It is a credit to all
who worked with us – local communities, state and federal
governments, environmental interests, business and labor. This is
your license, too."
Ciminelli added, "The new license is also a
tribute to the vision and determination of Governor George E.
Pataki. It's no secret that there were some difficult and
discouraging times as the process began to unfold, but Governor
Pataki never wavered in his commitment to a relicensing agreement
that put first and foremost the needs of the North Country and of
the communities that are home to this project."
Congressman John McHugh said, "This license is a
tribute to the hard work and cooperation exhibited by residents of
the project area, representatives of the federal and state
governments and the Power Authority."
State Senator Raymond Meier said, "A long,
involved process was successfully concluded with the issuance of the
new license and I think all those who took part are pleased with
their efforts."
State Senator Jim Wright, who chairs the State
Senate's Energy Committee, said "St. Lawrence-FDR is one of the
major cornerstones of New York State's energy supply system and I am
delighted that this new license will keep the New York Power
Authority in the 'operator's chair' for another 50 years."
Assemblyman Darrel Aubertine said, "All of us
in the North Country are happy that this process has concluded so
Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, said, "The new
license and the agreements on recreational and environmental
enhancements, as well as the community trust funds, are positive
developments for all in the community."
Assemblyman Chris Ortloff said, "Safe, reliable
power is vital to the economic well-being of the North Country.
Today's license renewal of the St. Lawrence-
FDR project marks the continuation of this successful program."
Ken MacDonnell, mayor of the Village of Massena
and chairman of the local government task force, said, "The primary
objective of the task force was to keep the power allocation in
Northern New York because it is the low-cost power produced here
that creates the jobs that are the economic soul of this region."
Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief
executive officer of the Power Authority, noted that St.
Lawrence-FDR was the Power Authority's first generating facility and
"this project will always occupy a unique place – in our history and
in our hearts."
He thanked community and business leaders in the
North Country and Power Authority staffers for the dedication and
hard work that lead to the successful completion of settlement
negotiations and the issuance of a new license.
He also told the audience that the $281 million
life extension and modernization program at the project was right on
schedule with completion due in 2013. "It will insure that St.
Lawrence-FDR runs at maximum efficiency for many years to come,"
Zeltmann said.
The NYPA president pointed across the South
Channel of the St. Lawrence River to Hawkins Point, where the
project's new visitors center is under construction.
"This fine new facility will replace the center
that was located here at the power dam and that was closed for
security concerns," said Zeltmann. "The new center, which we plan to
open for the 2005 tourism season, will include most of the exhibits
from the previous center and will feature indoor and outdoor areas
for community use. And – for good measure – it will provide a
terrific view of the power dam, which you couldn't get at the old
